She managed to get onto a Boga in the end, and she spent most of the journey lazily laying down against her mount and scratching it's gills as they traveled. It reminded her of the old times, the better times. When she still had people to be around and spend time with. When her life wasn't a constant mess of contracts and running away into further and further lands to get away from everyone. Inside, she already hated this. Once she remained distant from other because she couldn't deal with her grief, but nowadays it was just a habit that she got into. But deep inside she yearned for people to call a family and friends. Letting out a small huff the girl closed her eyes, letting the Boga's movements consume her thoughts for the moment. This always calmed her down whenever the demons of her past came to haunt her. Then she heard her name and she groggily peeked p from the saddle, facing down a large wall of sand that was headed straight for them. [color=f26522][i]Next time, don't mention warding off sandstorms. It's just asking for a trouble.[/i][/color] With a long sigh she grabbed the reins of her boga and quickly sped up to enter next to the schooner and look up at Hawke. For a moment she held her gaze, a neutral expression on her face as she contemplated what to say. After a long second she eased up and pouted as her face turned over towards the storm. [color=f26522]"I wish it was only the schooner, I could protect it all night long. But here... I can buy you an extra 5, maybe 10 minutes."[/color] Karissa explained, her head tilting to the side a bit as she took in the sight of the storm. With a deep breath, she took in the air around them, feeling around for what she was dealing with here. Her amulet lit up with a dim light for a moment before she looked up at Hawke. [color=f26522]"I'll go forward and meet our guest. I hope this Boga is as fast as the stablehand said it was. Once the wind wall falls, this storm is going to come here mighty fast. If you're not done by then, you better haul ass to safety."[/color] With that she pulled on the reigns before she used her feet to signal the boga to ride forward. [color=f26522]"Hekte!"[/color] With that she darted off on her Boga, putting a good hundred meters between herself and the others before she finally came to a halt. Quickly hopping off her boga, she took a stance besides the beast and closed her eyes, her hands reaching out towards the storm as the amulet on her neck began to glow brightly. Slowly, a shimmering wall of whirling winds began to emerge from the ground up, some of the sand from the approaching storm already getting caught on it. It stopped after it grew about 8 meters in diameter, and Karissa let out a little huff as she opened her eyes again. [color=f26522]"Alright, easy peasy girl. Just be sure to leave some juice for when the storm arrives..."[/color] She muttered to herself as her eyes stared at the incoming storm for a few seconds. This is certainly not how she imagined this trip to go. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/aEFmWpo.png[/img][/center]
