she dreams about this place. though dream is a generous word. her rest is a scattered thing; the hours of the night are hazy and most of the time she wakes to the dawn light remembering flailing limbs, a hoarse cry in her throat, and 's warm arms around her, lulling her back to sleep. 

she was getting better, but knowing the icelands are here now have nagged at the back of her mind. twice now she's escaped kyurem. its predatory growls are only echoes in the back of her mind, but here they are louder. here the memories bolster, threatening to break their seams. 

the goliath salamence at her side snorts embers and freya looks up. it's not uncommon to see others wandering the spectacle of the icelands. most don't make it as far in as she is. morbid curiosity only gets you so far when you walk through a frozen hellscape of human remains.

[attr="class","leymain"]Thalia hasn’t slept, really slept, in a long time. She’d adapted to light slumbers on the road in Paldea, where snoozing through the approach of a predator could mean injury, or worse.

Then there’d been the Dawnhunters, and nights filled with drunken revelry, preparation, and the chase.

Nothing made her feel alive and more well-rested than the hunt.

Her boots crunch on the harsh snow, ever frozen, even as spring crawls back to Hoenn. This place is like necrosis in a limb. She’s dressed in layers, mask pulled up over her face. Her breath is still a cloud in the air.

A figure moves, stepping clear of a frozen statue. Thalia lowers her rifle, more intrigued than anything that someone else has come so far.

“Do you think they’re alive or dead under there?”
she asks, brushing a stray scattering of snow off the shoulder of some poor fool, her voice muffled by the mask.

her nerves skitter in warning as she eyes the rifle in the stranger's arms. puckered scars on her side and her leg twinge with the memory of pain. lyune shifts at her nervousness and eyes the woman with a tilt of his head. when she speaks, freya finds her voice. 

"dead," she says. just like every other awful thing in that plane.

except for artemis and alex.

lyune takes a step, claws carving rivulets in the snow and ice, but as he does so the ground shakes. a fissure blasts out from under his paw with a a horrifying shhhurck. freya reaches for the silver bow strung on her back, fearing one of the dragon's episodes, but lyune's senses are about him. 

and he wasn't the one to cause the earthquake

"is this you?" she snaps, nocking an arrow and half-raising it towards the woman.

[attr="class","leymain"]Thalia has the gun pointed down, thumb trailing repetetively along the stock, a habit she’s long grown so used to she doesn’t even realize she’s doing it.

She hums a thoughtful note and lets her gaze drift away, keeping the woman in her peripherals. A number of frozen statues-- corpses, apparently-- stand between them. The Salamance moves and the ground seems to heave, and all at once Thalia is snapped to attention, stepping back so there’s a wall of frozen stranger between her and the woman and her dragon.

Dropping to one knee, she checks the bolt on her gun and peers out across the frozen tundra.

“Certainly not,” she says, a thrum of excitement in her voice. Then, raising her volume, she calls, “Voss?”

A burst of light has the Glalie apparating from the Pokeballs stationed at her hip. She comes out raring for battle, but her expression cants confusedly as she peers around and sees nothing.

“Huh. Not you either, I suppose?”

There’s a deafening crack and the sound of something roaring, far away in the distance.

it's made clear quickly this woman poses her no threat (yet). the fissure creaks and whines, ice settling against ice, but the quakes seemed to have pass for now. while thalia investigates, freya reaches out a tender hand to the side of lyune's neck. 

they hear the roar. it is achingly familiar and entirely foreign all at once. the frills on the side of lyune's head fan completely open. his muscles ripple and he bares his back urgently. 

freya climbs up his side and into the saddle, but draws his reins. in a snap decision, she jerks her hand down and looks hurriedly at the woman. 

they might need backup. 

"hurry."
