Starmetal, Hinterlands Request (Open)

[ Serene is still the more beautiful landscape by far, but it doesn’t take long for Cedrik to see the Hinterlands’ appeal. Even less for him to decide he likes it more. The Restless in the city spoke of it as some dangerous, wild place where those on the brink of madness dwell. But Cedrik finds it peaceful, especially compared to the hazards of the Shadowlands.

It reminds him of home, far more than Serene ever could.

Climbing up one more ridge Cedrik stops, pointing towards the horizon and speaking to his partner on this particular venture. ]

Looks like that goat herder steered us true. See the smoke? There’s our crater.

[ They’ve already been searching for hours and even now that their destination is in sight, it’s still a good distance away. Cedrik’s in good shape…hopefully his partner is too? The viera gives them an encouraging smile. ]

Come, we’re nearly there!


Jailbreak, the Gallows (for Felix)

[ What little order the guards of the Gallows held onto has shattered. Prisoners are breaking out, friends of said prisoners have broken in, and chaos is holding strong throughout the halls.

Cedrik likes to think he contributed a respectable amount to the madness.

Currently he stalks the halls, greatsword on his back, blood wiped from the blade in haste to keep moving. The guards it came from will probably live. He's already helped at least one friend escape but he's not done, searching the cells for anyone else who looks like they don't belong, friend or not. Which is a pretty broad category to Cedrik at this point.

And yet when he spots a familiar blue head of hair among the cells and stops for a better look... ]

Felix?

[ ...he already feels so tired. ]

hello it's him

[boarwitness]

[felix, just this moment, is also mid-chaos.

in the cell with him is a guard, who is desperately trying to hit him with a club. to felix's credit, he is dodging very well indeed—he's got a natural sense for it, and he's getting closer to the door, his distinct hair visible by cedrik as he does.

but the guard doesn't have his legs manacled together, and the next lunge is merciless. it's clear he's had a gutsfull of the dodging game, and he's just going for the kill. with a shout, felix falls back against the bars, barely holding the guard back from braining him handily.

and that's when he hears the voice.

without looking he hisses through his teeth:]

If you're not too busy!

[how does he find the energy to do this even in mortal peril]

I'm so sorry I forgot you orz

[fallendragon]

[Arrakis had always wanted a simple life of adventure so the adventure guild immediately caught his interest. He had traveled outside of town a few times now but he never got tired of it. There was something about the Hinterlands that unsettled him. Perhaps it was the way the untamed wilderness hinted at the dangerous magic inside him. He pushed his unease aside so he could enjoy the trip but there was still the occasional tension in his posture. There was so much to see and he floated a few inches off the ground with his wind magic as often as he walked, his eyes occasionally flickering with a faint glow in his excitement.

Cedrik didn't have to worry about him and he gave his partner a reassuring smile as he leapt over to join him on the ridge. The wind around his stirred with gentle breeze and the small braid in his hair danced with the unnatural wind that swirled around him. He didn't feel like he had to hide his magic out here.]

Doesn't look that far at all!
