Description

Thorvin stopped, his hooves digging into the sandy soil. He snorted as an old, bitter smell entered his nose, and he tossed his head. “Are you certain this is right?” He looked towards the Equus, who merely nodded in a quiet and sagely manner. Thorvin lowered his head and glared. “These war grounds are cursed, and yet you are certain you wish to proceed?”

Sienna lifted her head and leveled her gaze with the megaloceros. It was not unwise to be cautious, though this question had been asked at least thrice now. “You don’t need to accompany me if it doesn’t suit you. It was kind of you to offer escort.” She stated simply. “But if you are afraid…”

Lifting his head and standing stiffly, Thorvin looked out towards the setting sun, the red light reflecting in his eyes. He let his gaze linger over the red rocks and marred stretches of sand and gravel. He chewed apprehensively. “Not afraid,” he grumbled. “I just have a bad feeling about this.”

Sienna flicked her tail and began to make her way down into the valley. “Better keep it to yourself then,” she slid a bit and regained her footing, careful of the rocks. Her hooves clacked against the stones, but she continued steadily. “Lest you spook yourself further. There’s rumor of an ancient tablet, and I intend to find out exactly what it says.”

The megaloceros sighed and began to follow her. “Perhaps it’s better left where they found it,” he muttered. “Nothing good ever grows from bloody earth.”


Not completely satisfied with this, however, I did experiment with a few things on that might come in handy for future pieces. Hurray, part one done!

SEASONAL ADVENTURE || UNDER A RED SKY || INTRODUCTION


You arrive at the Nukkik War Grounds. You tread over the strange red soil, which almost seems permanently stained by the long history of bloodshed that hangs over this land. As you turn your attention to the setting sun, it feels different. Instead of a warm, soothing glow, the sky looks as if it were drenched in blood. It seems to ooze like an injury from the blood-red sun, which slowly sinks below the horizon like an injured falling beast. A bad omen, perhaps?
