The Grasslands

[Elario Luminus]

A very large expanse of vivid green plains. Not completely flat, but lacking any real geological elevation. Inhabited by herds of wild horses and well patrolled by the King’s guard, it is a largely peaceful place.

The Elven woman wandered the road near tirelessly, trying her best to cover as much ground as possible before she would be forced to fins shelter from the coming rain...it didn't look like the storm would be big, just a moderate shower. She wandered for some time, enjoying the fresh, sweet-smelling breeze and the lush green grass either side of her path, before she realised it was getting very cold and quickly looked around to see if there was anywhere nearby that she could rest the night. After some more walking and looking, she found a small cluster of boulders and trees, one of the rocks having an over-hanging section, which was, luckily, facing away from the wind. It provided the perfect shelter for the one night she would stay there, and she quickly set up a fire, gently touching the still-dry sticks she had collected and uttering a gentle word. The wood sparked and she withdrew her hand, as the wood slowly flared into a small flame and then into a controlled but warming blaze. She rarely used her magic but it was handy when it came to camping...otherwise starting a fire could be difficult at times.

The day had been quite long, and she was looking forward to her rest tonight. Tomorrow she should be able to make it across to the northern grasslands and ask around the village there for any rumors, when she had done that, she would then choose her next destination from there.

During the next day, the weather was far warmer and she traveled quickly and without interruption for the majority of the wandering. She walked past several small farms, as she went further east and in the distance to the north she could vaguely see the Rift Rainforest. The barrier between Solaris and Lunorgo. She wanted much to avoid Solaris, as it was not a particularly hospitable place, but she would have to go there eventually, she supposed.

At one point along the road she was briefly joined in her trek by a middle-aged man. He was human, unlike her, but having company was always something she enjoyed, and so long as she never mentioned her heritage, she was fine.
"so, you got a name, lady?" the man asked, in a distinctively rural type of speech. She nodded "Meira...just call me Mei if you like." she replied, readjusting the position of her bag on her shoulder. The man nodded, with a smile.
"well it's a pleasure to meet a fellow trader, Miss Mei." they talked for some time, as they wandered the road, before they reached the small township that the trader had been headed to. He said farewell and wished her good health and good luck for her travels and she continued on, alone, towards the northern coast of Lunorgo.

The road was long and tiring, and not to mention quite lonely. She couldn't wait to get into town and start looking around for any interesting rumors. After another day's traveling, she found that she was only a few hours' walk from Kime Village, a good place to go for the latest gossip on the border and Solaris. Looking East, now, she could see that the Rift Rainforest was only a few days' walk past the Edge of the small forest past Kime.
