With the blur, or more correctly Fei Liu, having passed through the group and towards the carriage, a gust of wind that ended up billowing Severin’s cape was all that was the only sign of the skeleton until the group reached the carriage. While the Necromancer said nothing about it, he did let a tentative hum escape his lips. [color=#2d7d38][i]‘Well, now I know who can deliver messages between the group if it ever becomes split.’[/i][/color] What a nice asset indeed.

Getting into the carriage before the last one of them, Fei Liu, Severin took a seat right in the middle of the spacious vehicle, crossing one leg over the other. He had decided to hold the answer to Vetreus’ question until the carriage began moving. Only then his lips parted. [color=#2d7d38]“More than you can imagine.”[/color] His first answer was direct, right on point, and he allowed it to simmer for a few moments before continuing.

[color=#2d7d38]“My research into the arcane and the divine lead me into countless requests with all sorts of adventurers, soldiers of fortunes, both the visionary and ambitious, and everything between.”[/color] Resting one hand on top of his knee, while the other held his cane, he turned his face slightly to face the draconian. [color=#2d7d38]“Either be bandits that are extorting the roads, monsters that are kidnapping villagers or some suspicious ruin that was unearthed, my search for knowledge does tend to put me into the quite unsanitary situations. But I was always very fortunate to be paired with very capable folk.”[/color]

From Vetreus, his attention drifted towards the newcomer: Penny. As hilarious as it would be to have her possibly [i]die [/i]even without knowing where they were going, the [b][Undead][/b] found it a bit crass to leave her in ignorance. He wasn’t much of a fan with how certain ‘creators’ operated.

[color=#2d7d38]“To catch you up to speed with where we are going and what we will do.”[/color] The hand that was on his knee lifted, touching the shiny Scrying Orb that still floated at his side. [color=#2d7d38]“We were employed to collect some data in a rainforest called ‘Verdant Heart’. And these orbs will do just that.”[/color] From the orb, his hand joined its twin at the top reliquary orb at the crown of his cane. [color=#2d7d38]“Some phenomena is happening within its epicenter, and some members of the Church say that there is some ‘wounded entity’ right in the middle of it.”[/color]

Tap-tap-tap, his gloved index tapped against the glass. [color=#2d7d38]“Only superstition, according to the Proctor. We shall know more when we get to it.”[/color] With that, he simply stopped, like a seasoned professor reaching the end of his lecture. [color=#2d7d38]“Now, then, do you have a name that you can be called by? If not, I’m certain Vetreus can come up with something.”[/color] Giving the West Empire noble one last glance, his eyes darted towards the window instead.

The scenery had already changed drastically: from the ‘magical marvels’ of the capital of Aslan, to the wilderness outside its protective barrier, and finally to their destination. The silence was deafening, abhorrent, unnatural… peaceful. It reminded Severin of his rest.

He waited for Liu Fei to exit the carriage first, after all, the skeleton was at the door. His shoes make contact with the ground with a solid thud. His gaze washes over the unnatural surroundings, their deformed and bizarre nature, not bothering him in the slightest. [color=#2d7d38]“Now, to wonder if this place was already like this, or if it is the effect of the disturbance taking place.”[/color] Severin said out loud, wondering, as he approached one of the one particular tree with a bizarre, devilishly shape.

[color=#2d7d38]“Mmmm… no glyph here.”[/color] He said with fabricated disappointment, looking at the narrow, winding path ahead. [color=#2d7d38]“Seems that is the only path in.”[/color]
