Traveling Could be Fun... AP to Vortex (mod)
The 2nd through the 14th Brightenings of Immanis, Winter, Era XV (pf)
Ralston departed as the first sun was considering breaking the horizon. The air was cool and not yet touched by the rays that would soon warm it. Yvain, the female plainsbred mount, was well rested and ready for the journey. Her white coat was freshly brushed and tended to so the black spots littering her hind quarters stood out beautifully. Ralston could tell she was looking forward to the trip as it had been quite some time since the last time they had rode any great distance together.
The Shield-Daekin was heading for Vortex. It was a city he had never traveled to before and he was looking forward to the adventure of not only getting there, but also what opportunities and events that were in his future. What little he did know of the city intrigued him and his simple orders left much to the imagination. His time should not be demanded of all too often which finally gave the Legionnaire a chance to gain experience in other aspects of life.
First thing, however, was the journey to his destination. Without rushing Yvain, Ralston roughly figured it would take a little over a cycle to travel to Vortex. His path would take him through Portshire and Diana and around the mountains to the north. There should be plenty for him to see and every sight would be a fresh reminder of the great Empire he strives to protect.
Whether or not he met people along the way did not concern him much, but he was well protected in case he came upon some unwanted company. His longsword and spear were his primary means of defense, but he also had a dagger on him at all times. His chain mail shirt guarded his torso and he wore protection on his legs as well. He had a helmet which he only wore when he felt the need as he always enjoyed allowing his short brown hair feel the wind from the trees and nature surrounding him. He had food enough for himself and Yvain for about two cycles- plenty considering the length of the journey. But if it came to it, Ralston could try his hand at fishing or hunting for the both of them.
Allowing his heels to find Yvain's sides, Shield-Daekin Sarwick commenced his journey. His typically unemotional face allowed a smile as he started on his way- not to return to the capital city for some time. Though the city is where he got his start, he was glad to leave it behind him for now. What adventure he may find over the next cycle was for the Gods to determine.
