It had been many moons since she'd left the grand city of Tula Fey, sent away with a task to find information about the worlds current condition. Guójiā De Huǒ had always managed to keep itself out of war, it's luscious vast lands surrounded by large mountains which secluded it from the rest of the world. But it seemed the great mountains were no longer going to be able to lock out the quarrels of the rest of the world, and so it would be down to the Elemental Knights to seek out where each nation stood in the conflict. This way Guójiā De Huǒ would at least be prepared for what might come. This was the reason Alessia was here, travelling on this dirt road path towards a village in hopes of finding a place she could rest for a while before heading onwards. She wore a red cloak with a hood, the cloak fastened with a small golden broach that represented a flame. She kept the hood up for now, using it as some shade so that she wouldn't have to squint in the presence of the sun. 

During her walk Alessia stopped, her brows knitting together a little as she picked up the sounds of something rather unpleasant, a young girl crying. She looked around for a moment, wondering if the source of the noise could be seen before she eventually began to move towards it. Of course it could have easily have been a trap set up by roadside bandits but that was nothing she couldn't get herself out of if it came down to it. Eventually Alessia found herself at the side of a river bank, the sounds of running water and birds chirping creating a pleasing orchestra of peace she'd come to adore in areas such as this. But of course such beautiful music would have to wait, for a young girl appeared to be making a song of her own, a sombre sound of loss which Alessia had been all too familiar with. A man also appeared to be with her, although from the looks of it they were not born from the same family. She would not assume this though, not at least without asking first. 

Alessia took a few steps closer before she stopped, "What's going on here?" she asked in an even, soft tone. She kept her face shadowed under her hood for now, her eyes watching the man carefully in case there was more here than what she could already see.
