Quest: In the Eye of the Hurricane

[unveilingtruths]

[This was certainly something new. Ysayle's life had definitely been a chaotic one in the past decade or so and perhaps some might liken it to that of an adventurer with how much journeying and fighting she had to do but this was the first time she had taken on an assigned quest.

Not having the war or Ishgard to think about was something that left her anxious. Apart from wondering what all must be happening in her absence she also found she wasn't entirely sure what to do without the goal of ending the Dragonsong War available to her...especially with all the revelations she had been dealt previous to coming here.

One step at a time. That's all she tried to think about and right now there were people in need of aid that she couldn't right well ignore. She'd been told that there was to be someone else helping those caught up in the mischief of these 'Hurricane Birds' and so she remained at the designated meeting spot, looking out towards the grassy hills littered with tiny tornados.]

[jumprinserepeat]

[ Ysayle isn't the only one with their own anxieties in regards to their place here. There's still so much that needs to be done on her star, still danger lurking and here she was in a foreign place with no idea of the state of the star nor if she could ever return...

But, just like home, people needed help here. It was all she could do.

As she makes her way to the meeting point, greatsword strapped to her back, all Stelletta knows is she's to meet someone to take care of these birds. What she doesn't expect is the person waiting for her.

She pauses, staring dumbstruck at the other woman. Almost as if she's seen a ghost. She speaks softly, tentatively as she closes the distance slowly until she's finally in front of her, wondering if she's finally lost it. ]

...Ysayle?

[ There's a lot of emotion loaded into that single word. That single name. ]

Event: When Life Gives You Portals

[unveilingtruths]

[If there was one thing that could be said of this world it was that there always seemed to be something going on. While none of the occurrences quite rivaled that of a labored war of a millennia it was still enough to keep one on their toes and today was no exception.

Indeed the appearance of portals upon all the bridges of Ellipsa was a bit more extreme than anything she had come upon yet. Certainly more dangerous than chasing away some birds or sheering sheep.

The sound of a scream catches her attention and she's immediately turning towards it, sword and shield raised as a group dash out from a portal. More monsters, no doubt. Well, time to clear out another section. She ran towards the group to find another Elezen seemed to have the same idea in mind, moving towards the group, weapon in hand--something about him gave her momentary pause but she focused on the more important matter right now.]

Is anyone still in there?

[unveilingtruths]

[She's surprised to hear her name called, after all there are only a handful of people in this wide city that know her, but when the Elezen turns towards the other woman she's hit with an all too familiar sensation.

She winces as a pain strikes the side of her head and she brings a hand up to it, pressing against as if to alleviate the sensation. It's not the first time this has happened while here and somehow Ysayle doubts it will be the last, but she's suddenly flooded with memories of the Miqo'te before her: Stelletta, the Echo kindly provides.

Despite the confusion she feels over these different timelines, Ysayle manages a smile once the pain recedes.]

Aye. Tis me. It is good to see you, Stelletta.

[borelblue]

[Another Elezen? Erenville mentioned that there are others from Eorzea here - at last he meets another, though he can't dwell on it for longer than that. She seems to be able to fight, and that's what matters now.]

[He shakes his head.] Nay, none remain but us - and whatever beasts await. Hopefully, we shall make quick work of them.

[Something does indeed shift through the foliage within the portal's garden. It's there and gone in an instant, but it's there nonetheless.]

It would seem proper introductions will have to wait.

((Do you have a preference for what monster(s) they fight? Since you made the starter, I figure it's only fair to give you first choice lol :D))

[unveilingtruths]

((A cockatrice sound good to you?))

[From this position Ysayle could not get a grasp of what the creature might be, but whatever it was it seemed fast.

She looks towards the man--something about him seems vaguely familiar but with more pressing matters at hand it seems it'll have to wait.

She nods]

Aye. I have some thaumaturgy I can use if need be. Anything I should know of you?

[At the very least, however, it would be good to know one another's strengths so they can best utilize them when fighting alongside each other.]

[borelblue]

((Sounds great! Also we can skim details - RPing fights is hard lol))

[Thaumaturgy is good too, as is having options. Between that and her own drawn weapons, it seems he stands with another warrior proper. His eyes linger on her shield for a moment.] My skills lie first and foremost with my blade. If you can draw the beast to your shield, I can strike it down.

[As much as he usually tanks takes the lead, she has a proper shield with her already.]

[He begins moving towards the portal.] If that is agreeable to you, let us not tarry any longer. May the Fury stand with us.

[unveilingtruths]

[To that Ysayle nods. Her ears flicker slightly at the invocation of the Fury--Ishgardian, she assumes? Under different circumstances that might have made her wary but now isn't the time to dwell on such things. She follows after him and as they pass through the portal it's to a much more forested area.

The foliage makes it a little difficult to see but it also makes the creature much more easily traceable by sound for the rustling of bushel gives its position. She turns to the other elezen to see if he noticed as well and nods, taking the lead.

For the moment she keeps her shield forward on the off chance it's just another person. Soon, however, it's made clear that is not the case as she sees a flash of feathers and hears a shriek. She raises her shield in time to block the slash of claws and then she dashes forward clanging her sword and shield together to keep it on her in search of an opening for her and her fellow swordsman to more easily fight it.]

oh yeah writing fight scenes is hard lol

[borelblue]

[At last the beast appears - and what a beast it is. His comrade seems to know what she's doing. As the cockatrice circles them, she seems to be the centre, even when she dashes.]

[He can work with that. Narrowing his eyes, Aymeric follows not far behind, his steps careful as he moves in arc to her side.]

[The cockatrice leaps at her from the underbrush. As it clashes against her shield a few times, Aymeric jumps in on the creature's flank with a hard downwards slash.]
