Izumo during this season was quite beautiful and that is precisely why she stays in the forests in the midst of lush green canopies. It would be a shame for the troublemaker to cause a war, and during the battle destroy the wilderness in the process. She had no loved ones to fight for and placed the hinterlands at her core to uphold with the highest regard instead...otherwise she would have nothing. This journey had already pushed her out of her comfort zone a bit, and it had not even begun. There was no telling what would transpire but she planned on following through to the end, and sacrifice everything—even herself at the end of the day if need be. The dark elf soon caught up to the determined elf and decided to try small talk during the otherwise quiet trek. [b]“It is not for me to decide your destiny. If you feel it necessary to join me, I will not refuse the company.“[/b] Although her words were blunt and hollow her tone remained soft. She felt a bit surprised that the man wanted to know her name, especially after experiencing her distant personality on several occasions. In another time she would have brushed off his inquiry with a rude statement but had gotten past inequity, and was constantly learning to alter her bias traits. [b]“My name is La’Etherina Lumen Niava Elanil.”[/b] The lengthy name rapidly flowed from her mouth like water down a stream. Now that they were properly acquainted she decided that he might as well be given the details of their destination. She stopped suddenly by a cherry blossom tree and looked directly at her company, making direct eye contact with him for the very first time. [b]“Aoli is the location I seek. There is another temple located there and I suspect the arsonist to try and destroy it. I intend to stop this vermin at all costs. Seeing as you joined me knowing what may lie ahead I can only assume you know how to fight. Is that correct?”[/b]
