Onward: Red

They are in the vortex for what seems like forever but is perhaps not that much time at all. They do not hunger, they are tired enough that it feels like they have been struggling against the chaos of the sea for a few hours yet how much time they have been flying in truth, is unknowable.

They emerge, pushing up out of the vortex. There were four rockpools and now, as they land on a vast plain they will find they have all arrived at the same destination.

The sky is black, pin pricked with stars and in the distance, on the horizon there is a glowing white light. The light is bright, bouncing off the ripples of water and giving them light to see.

For it is water they stand on, a vast ocean, inky black in the darkness. They stand on it with ease and yet, if they wish, they can dive down into it. The water is clear and yet they will find no plants or fish.

Monsters though, they will find a plenty. As the voidtreckers arrive, their footsteps rippling on the sea, they are joined by creatures. Giant crabs, shark head beasts, water snakes. They stand between the voidtreckers and the light on the horizon.

Somewhere in this sea it seems there is a giant squid, as tentacles reach out of the water to grab the ankles of the void warriors and pull them down to the inky depths.

The voidtreckers feel a pull towards the light, yet the horizon seems endlessly far away, getting no closer as they fight their way towards it.

She shrugs at his lament, unable to really relate. Or have any cultural touchstone to 'stargazing'.

Werewolves, though.

"Huh. You think we have any on the train?" If there's no moon on the train, she reasons, then won't they just look like humans? "-- squid's back, watch yourself."

"There's people from a lot of different worlds here, so maybe? I can only sense ghosts."

He crouches down a little, and throws up a translucent green shield to deflect the squid's attack.

"Might be something to ask when we get back after, then."

She ducks around him, briefly taking shelter behind his shield long enough to finish a cast. A second later, a blast of fire ripples up the nearest three tentacles as they whip back for a second attack on Danny. She exhales.

"It'd be a real pain if we got to a world with a full moon and someone just turned into a wolf."

He holds the shield against the second attack, frowning a little in concentration.

"Yeah... Not really something you want to be a surprise."
enthunder: (listen ☇ sure w/e)

"I'll add it to the list."

And the squid retreats once more, drawing Red team further into the floating abyss.
