Eternal rain made the city of Burmecia eternally damp. It had its own gothic beauty, to be sure. Even before war had ravaged the buildings, there had been that dark, creeping feeling to the place. Dragoons were said to hop from spire to spire, keeping the Burmecian rat-people safe from outside invaders. Only two such knights remained now, and one had forsaken his home to roam.
Still, there were soldiers roaming the streets. Many of the Burmecians filled that role: men and women alike trained in the arts martial. At times it almost felt like it wouldn't have been too unusual to see a child holding a sword. Several had also begun picking up magic, after the near devastation brought upon them by the black mages such a relatively short time ago. The people were sturdy, durable...
"...and moldy,' mumbled the intruder. She wore a dark brown hood, already drenched from the rain. It covered most of her body, which was fortunate for the young girl. Long purple-blue hair extended past the small of her back, and her tendency to wear brilliant colors would make her stand out all the more amid these people. The intruder frowned as she carefully consulted her soaked map, squinting at the running pigments. Her transport had dropped her nearby, so it only made sense to stop here first. But she'd almost been hoping to put this one off until she'd been better prepared: the main guardian of this place, that last dragoon, was almost too diligent, and the intruder didn't want questions.
That thought made her tug at the hood, as if she could somehow cover the horn that jutted proudly from the center of her forehead. Eiko Carol was, after all, one of the last summoners of Madain Sari, and was literally the only person who could prevent what she knew would wreck this world over the next decade.
"Ah, there we go,' she said, nodding as she looked to a building. It was some sort of shrine or holy place; Eiko didn't exactly keep up with Burmecian socio-religious practices. She stepped toward it, grateful to remove the hood and shake some water from her hair. She ran fingers through it, pursing her lips in frustration. Her horn already itched, letting her know she was quite close. Eiko held up a hand, summoning forth a pale light: even inside, Burmecia was dim.
"If I were a stoned Eidolin eager to burst forth and terrorize an entire kingdom of adorable rat people, where would I be?" Eiko mumbled to herself, carefully picking her way through the shrine. Years of training with a certain monkey-tailed thief had left her light on her feet, and her lithe body and accompanying wings (fake though they technically were) helped too. Eiko almost floated over the rocks, finally coming to a stop at what looked like a statue of some kind of frog or serpent or something.
"It's here somewhere," Eiko said, tapping the stone and frowning. She just needed to find it, and hopefully before someone found her first...
