Well, I guess I'll RP now.It's not much, but I'm up for it, so here goes.I will continue it, obviously...
Ch. I
As Surge wandered around Tignir's mountainous terrain, taking terse notes of the landscape with his pad, he stumbled across a small cave at the bottom of a cliff.
He heard voices from inside, though he couldn't make out their owners in the dim light. Luckily for him, he was not seen, for he eavesdropped from a nearby clump of wild flowers.
"... though. If this keeps up, we might be able to make it there before the weekend. Sire, forgive me for being forward, but I must know... how can we embrace this war? I want to do all that I can, but I don't know which side to choose."
Came a feminine voice.
Silence.
"Arias is our only ally in this war. We cannot hope for much from them anyhow. Their faith in us can be compared to faith in the solar eclipse. Besides, Tignir isn't quite in the condition of taking a role in this war as it is..."
A rough voice replied.
"..."
"I know it's hard to accept, but there is a chance our country will see a new government if Claros wins this war."
" What are you saying? Are you giving up?"
"Katherine... of course not. We will go to war, if push comes to shove, though uniting the whole of the nation is no easy feat."
"I hope..."
The crackle of a new fire, and a sudden illumination inside the cave.
(Hmm. They don't sound like the typical bandits...)
Surge pondered.
(Still, I should keep my distance for a while longer: gather more information on 'em.)
