>>6054323The door leads immediately on a cobblestone street, surrounded by other houses, people and animals.
It’s a beautiful morning.
“At dawn, we wake up with good thoughts…” you mutter, setting three fingers against your mouth in a quick prayer. You skipped your morning devotion, will make up for it later on. Now you need to find your companions. But you don’t see anybody you recognise here.
Farmers leading their sheep around, hounds making sure they’d stay on course. White-clad women carrying water and chattering with each other. Little boys playing around by fighting with each other, little girls watching and whispering by the side lines.
And in the distance, a grey-robed Priest of Flame carrying his bowl of burning oils back to the Temple, pulling a thin sliver of grey smoke after himself. He’s at least ten paces away, but he’s the one who most likely can tell you where you are and what’s going on.
Then again, this seems like a small village right by the border, so…
“In these places, usually the martial chaplain holds the authority…” you wonder, turning your head towards the red-pleated building on the opposite side of the village, the bordering station where a small detachment of soldiers are surely taking care of safety. This far from the blessed core of Madua, ruffians and monsters are surely to still pose a threat.
He’s the one who might tell you where the others are.
Right as you are thinking about the alternatives, a group of young women, around your age, carrying fresh water and clean clothing, talking and giggling between themselves, passes by you. They notice you and hesitate, immediately noticing you are a foreigner for some reason. You bite your lips, nervous, as they stop talking and give you a wide berth. Did they notice your hair?
Maybe they know something about the others.
>Reach for the Flame Priest and interrogate him. You are a Knight-in-training, he will know about the others, and it’s likely where Soralisa is.>Go to the bordering station. Your martial training takes precedence, and maybe you can meet Salicera there.>Stop the group of girls and ask them for info. Rubida always knew how to make her presence know. If she’s there, they must have noticed her.>>6054283it was always there, anon. didn't you notice?
