THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

"We knew it would happen one day." The wagon driver finally found his voice. It was trembling. "The war in the East has come to us."

Wagon Driver

The smouldering fields choked by blackened clouds of smoke rising into the sky, an orange-yellow sky glowing upon the horizon from the burning countryside were softly reflected in the distant look of the farmer's bright green eyes peering out from the mess of hair tumbling over his face, pushing to the front of the cart.

"Lord have mercy," Clive uttered, the shaky sound of his voice making him sound rattled by the sight of the city under siege however it was the voices only he could hear that made the farmer need to lean on the front of the wagon "So much death in one day..."

They'd gone from one perilous turn of events to another too quick, Zigmund had been one thing but this was something else entirely.

“Everything I hold dear is in within those walls. We must… must get inside the city.”

"No, don't ya'll be damned fools and think we can fight a fucking war!" the farmer got into the pale-skinned man's face a bit before realizing he was letting the distress cause his nerves to snap, sighing he climbed off the wagon landing with a grunt on the dusty dirt road "Uh, apologies mister but come on we're not an army we ain't going to play the heroes right now I ain't letting the people here die not even you...We need to get help, you wagon man."

Clive clicked his tongue, trying to snap the shaky old man that looked white as a sheet getting his attention "Listen mister, where in the hell is the nearest town and how far is it from here." still in shock the wagon driver stammered and struggled to get out his words to tell where the nearest place he could think of was: Cherrad.

"You ride as far, as fast away from here mister you run tell anyone and all along the dusty trail there be a fierce danger out this way." though the old man would comply it'd definitely take him a moment to get his bearings so he'd be sitting for a moment that was certain.

Clive, the Legend wasn't going to sit and let the countryside burn red or bleed dry "There ain't a way in heaven or hell ya'll will be able to make it from dawn to dusk to get word to this Cherrad place...So I will." the air shimmered faintly by the farmer as a graceful mare trotted as if out of thin air to her masters side.

Though a spirit of magic, and one of that which is dead she gave off no sign of darkness about her glowing a faint ethereal blue as she stamped a hoof to the ground.

"Only I can."

Haruki's going to reveal that the real inspiration were the friends we made along the way.

NUH UH

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

Will get to working on a post then!

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

@xenon should have worded it better myself, so mhm it'd take longer to get to an actual city. I think he'd be inclined to head to Cherrad, but what if he could ask them to send word to the nearest city to send aid then head back without needing to ride to the city so they send their messengers to request aid. And Cherrad muster who they can to come.

Wait lol I didn't even word it that way it was a question not an answer I'm dumb haha

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

@Zapdos I mean I don't know necessarily but I could see Daisy carrying Clive and maybe one person holding on tight to him like a motor bike passenger. It'd be up to the boss man on that one.

Resting an elbow upon the dusty windowsill the bards sharp steely blue eyes gazed out the dirty glass towards the flying machine the strange toadmen began to make quite the fuss about. Gabriel had propped his hand neath' the nape of his neck and on his chin, listening to Zav his gaze flicked to her.

"You're an odd one Zav, but your hearts in the right place...Every rhyme has a reason, an' my tale ain't a pleasant one." the half-elf spoke vaguely with a distant look upon his expression staring into the faint reflection in the window "But I ain't one to launch into long-winded tales like an old tottering man, I just...I've just got scars, on my mind and body the kind no magic can heal." the hand on his chin traced the outline of the scar that marred the side of his face.

"We all come from different walks of life, and aye fate seems to have bound our tales together, now I dunno if it's as philosophical as you makes it sound but I can agree that we all have to face the ugliness to see the truth." gingerly he gave Zavakri a light pat on the shoulder before he turned from the windowsill.

"'Accidents' like that only remind me of a life I drink to forget, but maybe I've been living in the past too long." Gabriel smiled, and though he didn't say it he clearly seemed thankful to have the present company, maybe adventuring was his purpose now instead of living by the pay of contracts on the road for a meager living to run away from the past.

Maybe he deserved to remember his promise to lead a better life, maybe he could be a better man or maybe he was getting a bit ahead of himself "Thanks for putting things into perspective."
