Active [See of Chearon] Deterrence of a Cold Case: Prelude ~ A trace of Atrocity

[Giftvi]

Scarred Wastes
A small encampment on the border of the Otenzian Empire and the See of Chearon, close to where once the beautiful Chachail had once stood.​

Here the scars which had been placed upon this battlefield were blindingly apparent to the eye. In this vast plain once stood a beautiful plateau of nature, a place of beautiful trees, grassland, and spotted with quant countryside housing. Of course so close to the border it had also been build around a fort, and tensions had always been high, but it had once been a true place of splendour to look at. Yet such a place no longer remained, whatever had once stood here was now desecrated. It had been burned to the ground, erased from the earth by the giant earth dragon Verdelothrondir which tore through the land, and had been devoured till almost nothing of value remained. Safe for the few dead husks of trees which had rooted so deeply into the ground they had withstood the testament of time. Till the See had conquered back so much of the land close to the southern portion of the Paizu mountain range, where it slowly dwindled off into hillside.

The land could roar in fury for the horrors it had endured, as this wasteland was marked with a horrifying amount of sinkholes, almost. Many places where the bugs had dug through themselves after Verdelonthrondir had made its passage to the east, and where much blood had been shed on both the Otenzian and Chearon sides. Though it was the Otenzian Empire which suffered the worst brunt of it, still after the aid of begotten heroes who had endured much tragedy and still prioritized their country and citizens above themselves. But the people who had raided the bugs, and drove them back to only the southern mountain ranges alone, had not yet departed from their station. It was too soon to simply depart after all, the entire encampment had to be broken down, and they had to make certain the bugs understood this wasn't to be a brief intervention. Their watchful eyes would fall upon the horrific monstrosities for years to come, if they couldn't rid themselves of their blight upon this earth sooner. And so at the dusk of evening, after days had passed since Rico's Raid and both Glacier and Watching had gone through the motions of being rewarded by the See for their heroic endeavours. It was soon to be their time to depart this place as well.

A vegetarian stew was being passed around between the Chearon troops, and some slightly merriment by scarred men and women who had endured horrors together and lived to tell tales of such. People who above anything else needed the comfort of friendships or else before they would find their ways home. Or possibly even be stationed close to the Paizu border on the east to make certain none of the villages or forests would be further razed by these monstrosities. A positive air hang around, as the two survivors of Rico's Raid were likely participating in that themselves to some extent. Though how much it was the case was questionable, after all, neither of them likely was even able to partake in the food being served. The little critter of Watching of Reflection, which stood out even amongst this variety of ancestries found within the Fae fiddling around with the device which had been found within their mission. An unknown which brought some very major questions for the critter who had been ready to lay its life on the line for these people which it barely knew. Because it knew that is what felt right. Few of the Fae had actively questioned the device from the beginning, after all it wasn't something many had paid attention to, whether this strange outsider of theirs had brought it along from the beginning. Or whether it had found such in the dredges of those tunnels.

The two of them had become somewhat well acquainted likely just prior to the mission, but afterward in these last few days, how much contact had the two outsiders even really had with each other would be questionable? It had been quite busy after all with the personal training bestowed upon it from one of the high officers, and finding what little prey was still around here to somewhat sustain itself in this wasteland.
