Life, Death, and Yellow Fish.

Void-Wind was in a strange place.


He was floating in nothingness… A barrier between two realms. At his right, a beautiful city, built out of living gemstones. At his left, a burning pit of darkness, boiling blood filling it's caverns, agonized wailing coming out of it like prying hands.


He was then pulled towards the city, and a feeling of peace came upon him. As he was about to enter into the city, a horrible shriek was let out.


He was being pulled away from the city, back to his original position, between the two places.


He began to fall……

Gem awoke to the sound of water, hurling itself at the shore. Confused, she looked around for a few minutes, and then remembered where she was.


They had built a raft, and used it to ride the river coming down from Uger Zikgefet, in order to bypass the Brain-Eater hordes -who apparently could not go into the river- as well as to speed up the journey down.


After this, the trio sailed their raft along the river for three weeks, when they hit a rock, which shattered the previously strong raft, and sent Gem and her companions towards the shore.

That evening, the group had built camp, and had a dinner of Yoliyggr*, after which, they set up guard, and went to sleep.









*(Yaw-lee-grr) a fish with yellow scales, it's flesh is considered to be very tasty by the people of Kove.
