Re: Thread IV: Investigating
As soon as they were released, the kraans took flight, flapping their wings with eagerness yet without fear; clearly, Dusk Rat had really been capable of keeping them calm, for none of them seemed to notice their riders.
Once the flyingn beasts had found their bearing, they started to barrel forward at great speed. All of the Magnakai could easily tell they were heading north, and since Azgazad should be in that direction - at least, according to the Grandmaster's tales of his own Darkland's journey - they seemed to be headed the right way.
As they left the remains of the enemy's encampment behind, Frost Ferret looked down, quickly finding the shining trail of crystals he'd prepared, and then threw down the one in his hand with all of his strenght.
The moment the crystal hit the ground, it exploded immediately, spreading a wide cloud of blue fire that ignited the ones close by, in a chain reaction that expanded in the blink of an eye, until it finally reached the red tent on the hilltop. As soon as the flames enveloped the tent, a new explosion was unleashed, but ti was like none they'd ever seen before; the entire hill was neveloped in flames while a pillar of blue fire exploded high toward the sky, its light for one moment shining so bright that the darkness of the night was dissipated, and the human could see around themselves as if it was full day - although the light shed by the explosion was blue rather than white.
When the fire subsided, any of the three who dared to look back would see that, where the hill had previously been was now only a wide creater, its rocky surface darkened and almost melted in some points, while the ground cracked open some more; in normal circumstances, it would have been a nightmarish spectacle to watch, but in the middle of the Darklands, the wasteland around made it seem rather unremarkable.
And so, leaving suh apocalyptic destruction behind themselves, the three Kai on their flying mounts continued onward, further into the Darklands and toward the next step of their journey.
Toward Azgazad.
And with that, this thread is closed! The next one should be up shortly; just be patient a little bit, and then your adventure can continue... into even more dangerous waters than any you've swam through this far! ^_^
