What can she buy with this second-hand pittance? A wagon belly full of wooden beams, frayed rope, bottles of lantern oil, rolls of sandpaper, and only a little more than a week of food. She misses the comfort, but does she expect to be inspired if she stays forever at home? Deri could afford her own books, thankfully. She inks out an inaugural poem: [i]sold off my old life to buy an old caravan atlas please guide me away from hurt and heartache to the beauty of the world[/i] Before she can go through the Hewn City gates, an Imperial with a beautifully mottled grey body and current-stripes on her royal purple wings asks where the caravan is going. "... South," Deri replies. "Shifting Expanse." Deri learns she has met a druidic apprentice who is on an apothecary's odyssey. Orva will be coming with her. At nightfall, Orva looks in the wagon's belly for the bat meat Deri mentioned having earlier in the day, and they find a blue Tundra trying to fix her compass stowed away among the barrels. She says she is a scavenger - Deri can only hope Savek is telling the truth and not a freeloader, lest she be a fool for letting her stay among the supplies.[/size][/font] [img]https://i.postimg.cc/zfGNcPmx/Hor-divider-400.png[/img][/center] [columns][color=transparent]_____[nextcol][b]Journey Stops:[/b] 0/?

Velya should come here for once." "It's the [i]Dragonhome[/i] Preservation Guild. Start your own," Savek complains. Shouldn't be too long until they're out of Light Flight territory. Deri looks at the map she pinned up on the wagon walls, studying the lines and trying to convert the distance at a glance when the caravan dips and Orva squeals at the sound of a creaky front wheel turning the wrong way. Savek jumps out of the back and looks at the askew wheel. "Oh, what is [i]this[/i]? The spokes are gone. Deri, get me the wood in the back." Reconstructing the wheel on your own is not cheap, Deri learns. Savek ends up needing more - more sandpaper, more coating, more beams. "I gotta say," this wainwrightly scavenger remarks as she fits the refurbished wheel on, "you're prepared." Is she, Deri thinks? Instead of replying to Savek, she turns around and begins sounding out syllables - [center][i]our broken spokes fell to broken rocky roads fixed by a vagrant sleeping among full cargo where does that talent come from?[/i][/center][/size][/font] [img]https://i.postimg.cc/zfGNcPmx/Hor-divider-400.png[/img][/center] [columns][color=transparent]_____[nextcol][b]Journey Stops:[/b] 0/?

Orva shudders as the wagon passes by a group of beavering Guardians. "That dam... are they trying to flood the rest of the canyon?" "There's a beauty to it, though," Deri rubbernecks at the group mixing concrete. "It's not! Shifting Expanse is already inhospitable - did you know what happened when Singer's Brook was to be a reservoir? Sinking that culture underground for more [i]farming[/i]. Why do you call this beauty?" "Savek," Deri calls out into the back, "do you have the trade goods?" "I thought those dusty books were supposed to be kindling," she calls back from the belly. "They were inspiration, for... for, the monster poems I used to write. I think I have some ideas in the margin notes. [i]Don't read them out, Savek, they're no good--[/i]" "What do your monsters have to do with this hideous dam? Get to the point," Orva's tone quickly becoming acric the more she goes without an answer. "I stopped writing. I had no inspiration. The world has beauty I just need to find." "You're not finding beauty at a dam, Deri. There's better places to go than this. Is there any wonder here?" Orva turns away from Deri and looks in front to see a sea-green armoured Guardian with narrowed eyes. "You have been so busy arguing in your big wagon if this hydroelectric dam is beautiful or not," her voice descending to a growl, "you have been wasting my time as Guardian Fargo. Go on your way. Now." "I just can't agree with the Stormcatcher," Orva continues. Deri wants to apologise with a sorry my passenger is a druid she hates modernity. Their words roll into a storm of their own, and Deri hopes the louder-than-normal thunderclaps aren't warnings of retribution. "Give me one good reason why I don't take her down to Fortress of Ends! We don't [i]take[/i] this disobedience in the Southern Icefields!" Deri, Deri... just wants this to end. "You can drive us down there if you come with us. We're going, to... the Arcane place?" "It's called [i]Starfall Isles[/i]," Savek calls out back, and for a second she can see the temper flare even higher in the Guardian's eyes. Deri prepares for a fight, but she simply reiterates herself as Guardian Fargo and rounds the back to look for the voice. Icewarden's duty, not that they'd know.

"I know it's very interesting, Croyle's technology was amazing, but we need to get going," she lightly scolds like some sort of hatchling teacher. Orva talked to Savek about this - is it a fear of Fargo? If so, then why was she so ready to accept her and make excuses for her when earlier that afternoon she was interrogating Savek over her crimes against the Icewarden? "I've never even been to the Southern Icefield!" Savek scoffs. "If she takes us there because there's one pushy snowflake..." Deri stops measuring rations and lifts up one of her heads. "Did you just call her a [i]snowflake[/i]?" Savek explains, this is slang, that's what they call Ice dragons where she's from, nevermind where that is. "Arcane dragons like me are dreamers. Tch! The last time I remembered anything I dreamt at night was years ago." "Forget about your dreams," Fargo growls. "We're being approached right now." Orva laughs at Fargo entering battle position for what looks to be a miniature, hobbling Veilspun. Her jaw is clenched, her stance has her feet firmly rooted in the ground. The Veilspun lifts her eyes open and says "have you travellers seen my key?" "What does it look like?" Deri asks. "I... I challenged my enemy to dragonchess in the Tangled Wood, and, I was doing everything right but-" "And they stole it, didn't they?" The Veilspun's watery eyes shimmer in agreement. "Despicable. That's why I refuse to go in there. No beauty can be found in there." "They made it after Shadowbinder came from the pillar. And now I don't know where the thief flew off to with such a key." "Can't imagine it. I have to write something, I really do." In a few minutes, everyone watches Deri open her notebook, scribble down her lines, and rip out the paper to show to this poor elder. "What's your name?" "Zanril," she mumbles. "This, is a lament for Zanril, and her key." Deri declares handing the page to Zanril. Her creaky voice reads each word slowly - [center][i]they left with my key so now i have to pick locks locked out of my home listening for pins in place never again a quaint scrape[/i][/center][/size][/font] [img]https://i.postimg.cc/zfGNcPmx/Hor-divider-400.png[/img][/center] [columns][color=transparent]_____[nextcol][b]Journey Stops:[/b] 1/?

She picks up new dragons in pairs and now they only have two days left of food before they all starve... There's not much other places in Carrion Canyon other than Tungstenstadt - nowhere she can accidentally root herself. It's relieving, to say the least, that she can stop the caravan after they cover enough distance past the city walls and declare that they're scavenging today. Savek asks to take the greenhorns Fargo and Zanril with her. "I don't think any of them have been in the wilds like me. Let me teach you," she says, heading further along the river. Which leaves Deri with Orva. Everything comes in pairs with her, she swears. She is pleasantly vindicated by how [i]easy[/i] foraging comes when with a druid, who picks and hunts and catches food that, unpleasantly surprising Deri, should be used for rituals that can control the weather or read minds. "I think these would be better for [i]eating[/i]," Deri clucks her two tongues as Orva slices off another growth of cactus. "It'd be more utilitarian." "Utilitarian," Orva laughs, "utilitarian! Like you aren't a poet who needs the beauty of the world. Write your next one about my spells." "Ah, I don't really focus on magic..." Deri gnashes both of her jaws as she hesitates. "I write. Horror." "Horror? That poem you showed Zanril was a lament. Show me any horror you wrote." Deri can't. Didn't Orva listen when yesterday, she said she gave away almost all her books except for a few? She closes her eyes and tries to remember one to recite: [center][i]from primordial slop it now still craves the hunt its bells-for-eyes ring echoes bouncing off its prey and to ears sealing its fate[/i][/center] "Horror poem. I wrote horror." Deri reiterates.[/size][/font] [center][img]https://i.postimg.cc/zfGNcPmx/Hor-divider-400.png[/img][/center] [columns][color=transparent]_____[nextcol][b]Journey Stops:[/b] 1/?

They eat with quiet contentment, staying back while Deri trains with Savek and Fargo. She pulls something pierced between the blossoms on Zanril's antlers. She reads the first line in a low whisper and says much louder "Is this the poem Deri gave you?" Zanril curls back, rearing away her antlers. "Is that so bad?" "It's a nice gesture," Orva says while trying to phrase this opinion, suddenly realising how much Zanril was fond of Deri. "It's melancholy, isn't it? So mournful." Zanril nods poignantly. "Well, before she went travelling, she wrote horror." "Horror...? I never thought she had that range. She must be looking for new styles, too. I don't understand what you're getting at," Orva feels a little bit like Cassandra. She knows something. "I... I like the brevity, though. Capturing a moment. I think I have one too." Zanril flips the paper over, and writes something of her own to show to Orva.

Savek comes out to look at her collapsed handiwork, Fargo behind her. Fargo's narrowed, suspicious eyes follow the broken beams and hasty rope and asks "Who did this crap?" "That was my work," Savek replies. "Well, it's not good enough! What a scrap job. How did you even get this moving for so long through the Shifting Expanse?" Deri listens to their coarse voices as they fight over their surplus of supplies. She asks Orva if she wants to watch the composition process, but she declines.

It's Fargo who notices the exhausted Aberration hobbling towards the caravan, and bossed around Deri when she didn't charge ahead to get it off their trail. Zanril squints, and kindly suggests that in its slow pace and the fact that one of its heads is barely able to lift itself off the ground that it is not looking to ambush them, and in fact, can we hear what it has to say? Surprisingly, it is the dragging left head that introduces herself. "We are Ayama, warriors of the Snowshoe Clan... fleeing far from the Snowsquall Tundra to escape the centaur attacks." The right head tears up, struggling to speak audibly. "We weren't strong enough... we caught the winds from the Twisting Crescendo." The left head is determined. "We have to go back. We are powerful, we can defend ourselves. I'm sick of you wandering the savanna like it means something." Ashercroft feels and is miles and miles away already, but their stop in the Windswept Plateau will be even farther, if those two quarreling siblings want to glide back home and continue the fight. Deri's two heads don't have that divide, or almost like she has none - she wonders, then, what it must feel to have her second head disagree with her.

"The lightning takes so much out of you," she moans. Even though the dutiful left and cowardly right quarrel with each other so much while in the wagon, arguing over the sweet and fitting thing it is to either draw back when you're weak or pay the sacrifice for your clan, they are silent in battle - or, the left head is so focused on maneuvering its tail and claws and body that the right doesn't feel the need to defend itself either physically or from the barbs of the left head. [center][i]the left head battles training for the centaur war two minds in focus or silent right unable to justify herself alone [/i][/center] [size=4][font=Times New Roman]Savek asks a question. "I've once went through the Scarred Wasteland during an annual Aberration migration to Wyrmwound, got to see them first-hand." Do they do that? Deri's never been with other Aberrations, only modern breeds. Is there a beauty in the Wyrmwound she's missing? "Deri's a bit... single-minded, but don't some Aberrations have different names for the head?" "I'm Ayama," the left head announces. "and her name's the reverse of mine." "Amaya. Almost identical," Deri says, maybe just to herself. "Yes?" Ayama echoes. "Aberration heads are sisters, not twins. Maybe if we were the same we'd still be fighting off the Centaurs from Snowshoe grounds, but oh is it valuable to have two minds." Amaya remarks weakly is the first compliment her sister has given her since they fled the Southern Icefield. After they return to the wagon, Deri asks her second mind what she thinks of all this, and it doesn't respond.[/size][/font] [center][img]https://i.postimg.cc/zfGNcPmx/Hor-divider-400.png[/img][/center] [columns][color=transparent]_____[nextcol][b]Journey Stops:[/b] 1/?

Deri couldn't force her to stay at the wagon, but they [i]could[/i] make her play support or stay in the back lines. When Ayama slips out of their sight, and Deri pushes forward, the sky goes white. The crack of lightning flashbangs all the surroundings, and when Savek is no longer stunned she sniffs the air with that acute Tundra nose of hers. It smells smoky, filled with dust and ash, and nothing like Ayama. They return, where on the way Deri tells Savek she should break the news about Ayama being MIA. "No, that's ridiculous," Savek protests, "You're the caravan leader! [i]You[/i] should do it." Deri glares at Savek, and she decides that it's not a good time to go against what she says. While Savek gathers Orva, Zanril, and Fargo to the back, Deri retreats to the front, curled up with spare parchment. It is time to write an elegy.
