Monsoon...
West of Zento, the rain was pouring hard against the house and debris was scattered all around it. Luckily, this medium-sized house was surrounded by much larger houses. Each house acted as a shield as more debris would hit the other houses. But still, some rocks and branches managed to find their way, slamming against the Empress' house.
When finally the second wind stopped, Mallory, Rryn, Roxxy, and Asher all went downstairs. Hugh then showed up, and Valandil was still standing dutilfully by the door. After a bit of conversation, Asher decided that while the winds were calm, he would quickly scout Zento to see if there were any stragglers.
"Be safe..." most everyone said. And Asher formed into a Ki-rin, and took off towards Zento.
Running into the inn, he found a couple of people safe and sound who did not want to leave. Respecting their wishes, noting that the inn is actually a rather strong structure, he headed towards the other buildings in the area. On his way towards the provisioner's, the wind started to pick up quickly. The gusts became increasingly stronger. He ran quickly out the west gate back towards the Empress' house. As soon as he reached the dirt path, he was immediately picked up into the air by the strong winds.
"Wooooahhhhh!" Asher exlaimed, kicking his feet in the air as he rose above the houses. He could see the Empress' house, his destination, in the distance. And the wind began pushing him towards it. "Woooooah! Heh... hahah!! Flying... woooo!" Asher seemed a bit more excited than he should have been.
Kicking his legs with a grin on his face, Asher continued to close in on the house. He was, however, enjoying his weightlessness. He looked up at the darkened sky. As the rain poured down hard, and Asher could see other bits of debris flying across the air, he began to realize that this isn't as fun as he had immediately thought; he was travelling through air against his own will. He began kicking his legs again instinctively, as if he had some control over it to stop him.
"Gyahh... no no! I don't want to fly anymore!" Shaking his ki-rin head and twisting his body to no avail, Asher was headed right for the house.
"OHHHHH SH---" *CRASH* |
