EVENT | LANDFALL | VALISHAERA

[ironwood]

Characters: ALL!
Date: JULY 13-26
Location: Valishaera
Situation: Tu Vishan has made landfall on Siaxhi, to explore the Dreaming Watch City of Valishaera.
Warnings/Rating: Please indicate content warnings in subject headers as applicable.

As Tu Vishan draws near, the heavy jungle visible even from miles out quickly identifies the landmass as Siaxhi, one of the westernmost continents in Konryu and one that has been largely untouched insofar as the kedan themselves have gone. There is a natural inlet along the southeast shore on the continent and Tu Vishan makes for that, though he fills nearly all of it.

She chose to accept his words as a reassurance, rather than a slight, and focused instead on his invitation. Hayley both hated surprises and was delighted by the mystery of them. Going with Solomon was its own brand of tempting fate, still not entirely certain what the man was really like or what accompanying him might lead to.

"Sure," she replied with a small smirk. "Where to, professor?"

[peacefullywreathed]

"Professor," he mused with an indulgent smile. "I like that. This way." He led her toward the portal into the Dreaming, and then toward the three gates. "There are three gates here which apparently gift a boon to those who enter them," he explained as he walked. "But only once."

They came to the portals and Solomon nodded to the magic-gate. "I've been through that one." He smiled at Hayley, almost innocently but with a gleam of challenge in his eyes. "Would you like to see where one of the others leads?"

"Well there goes the fun in that," she teased lightly, in response to his accepting the nickname with ease. Hayley followed, obedient for now, listening and appreciating the wisdom though she wouldn't admit as much aloud. The portals were both beautiful and intimidating, instilling in the girl a familiar sense of fear, like the gateways of Sinbrilee.

"What's behind them? I mean, I like you and all? But I'm so not ready to die for you. You're great, it's not you it's me, whatever, but not my thing."

Solomon laughed. "I haven't the faintest idea. The first one was a forest full of giant, luminescent and magical mushrooms--though I didn't try to eat any, I assure you." He threw an amused glance at her. "That's the purpose of going through them, after all. Don't worry. I'll make sure you don't die."

It was said flippantly, but it was true--Solomon stretched his students' talents, but he never threw them in the deep-end without a lifeguard present. But he wasn't going to give Hayley the chance to back out; so with one last indulgent smile he strolled toward the gateway. "I'll see you on the other side, shall I?"

[everylittlegirl]

For some reason she never quite understood, Hayley took a strange sense of delight and proud in making Solomon laugh. She supposed it was a result of their first meeting and how little he seemed amused in a general capacity, but it was difficult to tell whether that was true or the bias of limited observation. Whatever the case, making him smile often made her smile in turn.

"My hero," she teased, responding to his underlying honesty with an unspoken gratitude just before he moved through the portal. Then she had no choice but to follow and so she did, with relative ease all things considered, striding through and emerging on the other side to stand beside him not unlike they were a moment before. Only, this time, their surroundings were far more intriguing - and intimidating - than the ruins of the town.
