Entry tags:
sometimes you can't make it
Who: Alexstrasza, Krasus/Korialstrasz, and the Redsworn
What: Successful retreat into the Ruby Sanctum
Where: Ruby Sanctum
When: After a long, grueling battle near the borders of Suramar
Warnings: Please PM the mods if any warnings are needed
[The Ruby Sanctum is a flurry of activity. This becomes clear within two seconds of stepping through the portal. The wounded are guided over to a grassy clearing surrounded by saplings and adolescent trees, bade to lay down and receive healing from other dragonkin. Some of the trees are years old, while a few look to have shot up recently. If you watch, vines engulf one fallen warrior; the body sinks into the ground, and a tiny sapling appears in its place.
Despite the war going on outside, the sanctum is less of a cavern and more like a self-contained dimension. Ample sunlight drifts down through scarlet leaves, which are occasionally home to the crimson scales of a whelpling. There is life everywhere: insects on twigs, birds chirping overhead, flowers at your feet. Dragon eggs lay nestled in the nooks and crannies offered by the tranquil forest. There is a decently-sized spring filled with fresh, pure water, as well as some small rocky outcroppings to sleep in. It's warm and comfortable enough to rest out in the open, too.
The cloaked and ever-mysterious Krasus stands watching the dispersing redsworn, his back against the massive oak in the center of the sanctum.
Occasionally, one may glimpse a beautiful red-haired woman with copper skin winding through the copse.]
[ooc: Mingle log for redsworn!]

good good
Oh right, training. Ugh...! I'd rather sleep for a week!
no subject
[Not like she's gonna say it out loud, but she's super glad this guy is okay. He did help her, after all. Fainting in the middle of a battle has to be a frightful experience.] Some sleep would definitely be good, after what we've been through.
[Hey, she's asked around and taken a bite, maybe she can... sleep...]
no subject
[he'll take a bite of his bear, grimacing a little at the taste. Ugh, eating for the sake of nourishment sucks]
I don't suppose you've seen any beds have you?
no subject
I do hope that if they reach out for more help, it will not lead to similar circumstances. [Because that was easily more chaotic than even the Lockdown. Far more short-term, and thus not as damaging, but...]
No, I haven't. At least, the ground seems viable enough to rest on without the fear of venomous creatures. [Despite the abundant wildlife. Look, she hasn't slept outside much either, she's not too comfortable either.]
no subject
[At her answer, he gives out a little sigh and his shoulders slump]
Oh that's great. [First time he's required sleep in a long time, and he was sleeping on the ground with animals. At least he can tell Amane doesn't seem too happy about the set-up either. Misery loves company or something] Well, guess there's nothing to be done about it for now.
no subject
Seeing how busy those who brought us here are... we must have arrived for good reason. I believe they'll want us to pull our own weight soon. [SO BASICALLY, IF WE WANT BEDS, WE NEED TO WORK FOR IT.
GAH.] Perhaps we should begin training ourselves to use our powers, then...? After we all rest, of course.
no subject
[But kidnapping them and giving them no choice in the matter? It...doesn't sit well with him at all. He won't go further about that though. It's much too personal]
Sorry, you get enough to eat? You're right about the training, I bet tomorrow will be a long day.
no subject
I've eaten enough, thank you. [Maybe eating the whole bear is Not a Good Idea after all.] I do believe some might need more rest than a good night's sleep, though. With luck, it'll be much better than our arrival.
