ONGOING EVENT
EXPLORATION



MT. PYRE[break]✥ THE BORDER



[player]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1035423510278979624/1055281670649032755/bambooba.mp3[/player][break]
Northern Province - Area 2 (Riding) - Pokémon Scarlet & Violet
[break]

THE BORDER IS A MOUNTAINOUS PURGATORY OF MUTED SEPIA SMOKE. By floating islands, translucent bridges soar through the realm toward the heavens. Tall stone spires jut out from the spiritual mist. In the sky, the wisps of spirits can be seen heading toward their final destination before the afterlife...[break][break]

Curiously, there are four broken seals embedded in four mountains. Though Adrian Malcolm and YVELTAL may have seen their location upon their unceremonious entry, the spirit realm has shifted since their last visit, rendering each broken seal far apart from each other.

Caleb had twice faced the bleak landscape of the Border with apprehension, but this time, all he felt was a fierce resolve.[break][break]
He'd come here hoping to fight demons: welcomed it with open arms. Once, he might have wished for his own death, begged on hands and knees for it (a slammed door, a plea denied by a monster who claimed they were no longer brothers), but Caleb Harcourt had recently been gifted his third shot at a life he didn't deserve and well, someone like might say that the third time's the charm.[break][break]
"There's a cave over there," Caleb pointed, the mountain range before them like sharp teeth jutting up from decayed gums. A sepia haze lingered around them, thickening by the minute. Beside him, Nox shifted restlessly, clicking softly.[break][break]
He turned to the woman next to him, in all her fierce glory. Here was someone he had been eager to meet: , the Tempest, the wife of the man who had recently risked his life to save Caleb's. Did she resent Caleb for that? Find it curious? He'd been meaning to meet her sooner, but, well, Caleb hadn't exactly planned to get kidnapped for a few months.[break][break]
"Seems like as good a place as any to set up camp."

Skyler wouldn't have come back to this cursed place willingly.

Last time she'd stepped into the Border, she'd been forced to look her guilt in the eyes, had been forced to admit to the redness of the blood on her hands. 

Funny that the memory Skyler was most haunted by had been an intrisic act of mercy. She can't help but be glad that isn't here with them this time; she wouldn't be able to look him in the eye with the memory digging its claws into her skin.

"It's as good a spot as we could hope to find in here." Soft tendrils of sepia mist curl around teeth-like spires of rock, disturbed by their movement. 

She'd only met briefly before his knidnapping and consequent rescue. Whether she thought him worthy of it - or not - was a question she still hadn't decided the answer to. After all, she'd been the one knitting back together.

All the while calling him a colossal idiot, of course.

A flask is shoved right under 's nose, the sloshing movement within hinting at some sort of liquid. She waits for him to take it, lips twitching with amusement. "Holy water, just in case. I would've preferred alcohol, but alas I don't think that works nearly as well with ghosts."

Her backpack hits the ground with a heavy thud, and Skyler proceeds to remove from within all sorts of charms and knick-knacks. And a whole bag of ocean salt. 

"Fuckers won't find me unprepared this time."

He took the flask, and even though she'd said it wasn't alcohol, he twisted the cap to give it a sniff just in case. Nope, just water. Salt water, by the smell of it. He supposed, for a renowned sea captain such as herself (pirate, some would say), the ocean was her holy water.[break][break]
Little did know, he, too, had always been called to the sea. It had been his lifeline in Kanto, and perhaps it would be one again in Hoenn.[break][break]
She pulled out more trinkets - charms, amulets, sea salt - and he couldn't help but laugh. "Ghosts got you good last time?" He smiled, but it didn't quite reach his eyes: this place had nearly made a ghost of last time he'd been here. It had shaken him more than he'd been willing to admit at the time.[break][break]
"Come on, let's take your portable exorcism kit over to the cave," he urged, walking deliberately past her towards the base of the mountain nearest to them. It didn't take long to reach it, Nox watching his back. He peered inside, then gestured for the nimble Lokix to scout ahead. After several heartbeats, he braced himself for something undead to jump out at him from the murky depths, but nothing happened. Nox returned, clicking encouragingly.[break][break]
"Seems safe enough," he called over his shoulder to Skyler. He dropped his bag on the ground just inside the mouth of the cave. A cool breeze wafted from within, ruffling his hair. He frowned, skin prickling, a distinct feeling of being watched settling into his bones.
