Lady Lyndis

"We call them Risen… they are .. just like humans only that they do not seem to be alive anymore. Their eyes are red and soulless and their skin is dark and all they want is to kill you." he furroed his eyebrows and sighed deeply. As if the war wasn’t enough those weird things had to show up and make everything harder for him and his group.

"Do you... happen to know how to stop them?" That was the most important first step, right? She didn't want her home to fall into war and ruin. But then again, they may have it well in hand. Who knew? The meat was getting closer to done, so she went on to start preparing the rest of the meal.

Another world. It is very beautiful but lately weird creatures invaded our lands. They came through a portal in the sky. I wasn’t there when it happened but my Prince and his sister told me that they have seen it and i trust them.” Stahl was a bit worried about them now but he knew that they were doing fine even without him. The scent of the meat filled his nostrils and his stomach started to growl once more. It almost felt like he didn’t get to eat anything for quite awhile even though it were only a few hours.

"Weird creatures? Like what?" Naturally, she was curious. Who wouldn't be interested in weird creatures in another world. Though, the real reason for her interest was because she feared the safety of her friends. If they were coming through portals, and this man could come here, her world could be in danger. Potentially, anyways, it's not a sure thing.

Good that he arrived here really soon since it was just about to get dark and he didn’t want to be out there in the darkness in a place he doesn’t know. “Ah right.. I was so lost in my thoughts that i forgot to introduce myself. I am Stahl from Ylisse. Glad to meet you Lyndis.” Now Stahl felt at ease knowing that such a kind woman was here with him. Without her he would be still walking around outside looking for a shelter.  The rider was quite exhausted but his hunger kept him awake so he just sat  himself down on something that looked like a chair and yawned softly.

"You sacrifice speed and comfort for the sake of defense. That would get me killed." Her strategy needed her to be able to move swiftly and freely, and armor was too immobile. Not at all fitting for a user of a blade such as the Sol Katti. "Ylisse, huh? Never heard of it. Then again, I've basically been living under a rock my whole life. What's it like over there?" As she spoke, she began preparing a fire, in order to cook the meat.

A meal always tasted good if you could share it with someone. That’s what he thought atleast. So he followed her into the tent and took a look around. It was simple but very comfortable and it kind of reminded him of his own. Only that his room was alot more messy.  Seems like she was already preparing a meal already so the offer of him cooking was for nothing but that didn’t matter. He will find a way to make up for her hospitality.

Once he was in, Lyndis poked around her food stock, before turning back to him. "I completely forgot! Introductions are proper, correct? My name is Lyndis, of the Lorca tribe." She just wasn't going to mention where the rest of the tribe was. That wasn't a first meal conversation at all. Not one she liked to have with anyone, even, and her allies respectfully avoided the topic with her.

"Y-Yes… You’re right, Lyn… T-Thank you for supporting me so much… I… I know I can be great all on my own, without my sisters having to babysit me along the way… I’ll… I’ll prove to them I can be more than the scared little crybaby that I grew up as…!" She said, almost to herself, a new-found confidence building inside of her. If she had Lyn by her side, she began to believe there wasn’t any obstacle too difficult to overcome. 

"You know, though, I never honestly thought of you as a crybaby. Timid, and a bit silly, yes. But not a crybaby."

Only plains but somehow it was quite beautiful and it looks very comfortable around here. Stahl then walked back to his horse to look if he still had some provisions and luckily there was a whole loaf of bread and so he cut off some of it and started to eat it. He should have listened to Miriel and not get too close to the Outer Realm gates and now he was stuck here in this other world. Hopefully he wlill find a way back soon.

"Would you like to come in for a meal? I'm afraid pegasus isn't on the menu. A dear friend of mine would kill me if it was. In it's stead, I have enough meats, grains, fruits and vegetables to last a long while." The meat she gathered herself. It was impossible to transport it from the towns without it spoiling. She got the other food from the nearest town though, and borrowed a horse for such trips.

"You can talk to me like to everyone else. I am not a noble i am just a normal Cavalier Milady." he smiled at her and walked a bit closer only to hold out the map he got. "I have the suspision that this map i’ve got is fake since it didn’t lead me anywhere.. other than here into the wild." he said scratching the back of his head.

In addition to having traveled across the lands twice, her father taught her much about the different locations. With even a glance, she should be able to catch landmarks that should be on a map, or lack thereof.

"I-I just hope my sisters won't be disappointed in me for leaving Ilia..."

She wasn't entirely sure what Florina's sisters would think, in all honesty. She was sure she was right, but... not 100% sure. But all Florina needed was a little encouragement, not definite proof, right?

So this outer realm seemed to be very interesting but he had no idea where he was and so Stahl decided to ride his horse as long as possible since there was no way back. For now. After a long ride he finally found a tent and out there was a young woman. Seems like she was alone so he carefully got closer to her before he climbed off his horse. “Uhm.. Excuse me? Could you tell me where i am?”

"You are in the Sacae Plains, a few days' ride from Caelin or Ostia, or any such places. From where do you hail?"
