Despite the fact that winter was just around the corner, the western lands of Boreas were still hot. Unbearably so, at least at middday, though she knew the darkness of night would bring some welcome relief to these lands. Caelia had been born in the west, though, so the heat was nothing new to her.. though sometimes she did wonder, especially after wandering closer to the center of the continent, just why Aurielle chose to remain in these lands. Either way, it wasn't her choice - and it wasn't like they weren't surviving well enough where they were. But today she'd taken to wandering, moving gracefully over the rocks that had been clearly shaped by the wind over many years. With each dip the land took, another hill seemed to form, and as far as she could see there were multicolored pillars of rocks, some climbing toward the sky while others stretched out in other formations, though all were smooth and seemed capable of standing the test of time. At least - she hoped they would, especially when she found one odd structure that seemed to be stacked high like a set of stairs. Without hesitating the slender female leapt onto it, taking it a few feet at a time, climbing slowly toward the top to afford herself a better view. It was beautiful, even in all its desolateness, and she twisted her head around as she scanned the horizon for any sign of life. She hadn't expected anyone to be so close, though, but from beneath her she heard something - a shifting that couldn't be blamed by the wind, since there was hardly even the slightest breeze today. Panting softly, she navigated down the opposite way she'd came, landing on the solid earth with a loud grunt, and quickly wheeling around to face the stranger. Though she was older than her, Caelia wasn't intimidated, and her gaze was curious as she sought to get a better look at her. "Bit hot to be out for a stroll, isn't it?" Caelia commented idly, despite the fact that she was very much out and about too. |
