SINIB:
Thorra
Electricity crackled down the length of Thorra's body, shrouding her in a faint blue light. "I can't and won't betray a friend." She replied simply, with a firm tone. "But of course, I will be helping you in any way I can. This new world-it's strange. Almost spooky, in a way."

Sage
She let out a growl of frustration, turning away from the great big blonde and clenching her hands into fists. "It's - accursed, and loud, and crowded, and nothing follows the same rules as what you expect. I understand that." Thorra could make out the thick exhalation through the nose. Smell the acidity of it even from there.
"When I come for you next, you will aid me." She turned, abruptly, back to Thorra. "Whatever you are doing, wherever you are staying, you will abandon it all and aid me in this task. Or we will finish what we started."
Eyes glaring, but with far less of the heat than before, she turned her eyes to the hammer in Thorra's hand.
"Deal?"

Some time later
The pseudo-elven maiden sat amid the dilapidation and disintegration of human civilization at the edge of the known world. A bramble, tough and merciless in its desire to endure amid crumbling construction and rotting roadways, attended to her requests for respite by serving as a place for her to rest her rear while she awaited the indebted one. It was a long wait, and she was given much time to spy the curtain wall of rock which rose up toward the sky.
There had once been a settlement on this spot, a place where those seeking a pathway to the Great Western Mountains could stop and rest before the perilous journey would begin. Then one day the stones fell in their hundreds, blocking the one reliable passage, and the village withered away. Witnessing the wake of civilization's passing left a small smile on Sage's lips when the sensational sensations of nature's reclamation could distract her from the dire desires motivating the trip to her would-be destination.
Even her princess, Eruraviel, could not unweave the remnants of her son's spirit without the proper reagents for her mighty magic. Only there, beyond the horizon, might her child's salvation be found.
It was why she awaited his murderer here, in this place where the land soon squirmed beneath the weight of her desperate heart.
SINIB:
Thorra
The hammerborn daughter of Thor didn't keep her waiting for too long. With a powerful crash of thunderous lightning signifying her arrival, the blond walked out of the small, freshly scourched crater wearing her usual outfit as well as a face filled with mixed emotions. There was shame, but there was also excitement. She wanted to explore new lands, experience new peoples, and this new world had so, so much to offer!
She just hoped that Sage's feelings would have cooled by now, enough to avoid any urges to step on or belittle her any further.
She wanted to start her first journey here correctly and properly.

Sage
The dragon in disguise set her stare to Thorra at the very moment of her arrival, fixing upon her as one might an intruder or a threat. She became exceptionally still, pointed ears ceasing to twitch, and awaited the living weapon's approach. Then with time and proximity the great druid visibly willed herself to relax, and instead merely fixed her with a frown. "It is good that you have made haste in this. Perhaps you are serious in your intent, and not merely bereft of pride."
She turned, then, not so far that Sage could not retain peripheral vision of Thorra but sufficient to be facing the old rockslide. "It has been spoken by the deep wood unto me - this once one of the few passages known to the Great Mountains, whose roots reach below the world to safeguard it from a sleepless, seething spite. Beyond it are lands untouched by the civilizations of man."
Sage pointed a finger sharply at the rocks. "Are you capable of breaking this? We will not find what we seek in the mists from above."
