The metal contraption that she'd first encountered upon her entrance to Earth looked similar to this "car" David had mentioned. She looked over it, slightly confused, but David quickly explained that she needed to open it with the handle before it would do anything. She followed his lead, sliding into the seat and keeping her eyes locked on the road as the car moved. While David wondered a lot of things, such as why Leara was the one that was sent, she also wondered the same. What had the council been thinking? Surely there were more prepared and adept individuals than she to tackle such a task. Then again, had they known that<i>he</i>was going to show up? It was a miracle that more damage had not been caused, and surely, had the stakes not been so high, she wouldn't have escaped so easily with her life. There was something else at work - something that Varanshig had under wraps and no one knew about. He shouldn't have known Leara was coming. No one but those that were required to should have had any knowledge of the things at work.<br/><br/>Going through the portal continued to be an experience for Leara. While David lost consciousness, Leara felt both hot and cold again. There was the sensation of magic spurring to life as the car pummeled into the world known as Eldorath. The vehicle slammed into the ground, jerking Leara out of her seat until she slammed against the hard plastic of the console. It wasn't enough to injure her too severely, but the impact stole her breath and made her wince as a laceration formed on her forehead. When things seemed to steady, Leara gingerly put her hands out to lift herself out of her seat. She pressed buttons on the side of the door before grabbing the handle and pushing it open. She exited head first, bending down so she didn't smack her head, but ensuring her eyes were able to scan the area around them and make sure they were alone.<br/><br/>It was likely early morning in Eldorath, and they were in a forest that was outside of her kingdom. It would take her half a day to reach the citadel, but with David unconscious in the car, she was uncertain how long they would be. Large trees with deep green leaves and vines surrounded them. The forest floor was full of long grass and heavy with plant life. Rain drizzled from the grayed canopy, and a light mist covered her face within moments of stepping outside the car. Light would sometimes break through the branches here, but not today. Today, the sky was full of clouds and the rumblings of lightening in the sky. Small creatures and insects could be heard around them. Croaking of amphibians that resembled frogs on earth sang to Leara and David. Nothing had been disturbed by their entrance back into the realm. Nothing really, except for the tree that lay fractured in front of the car. Leara said a silent prayer to the Gods of the realm, hoping they heard her thanks for nothing more exciting than a broken tree. Surely if they had stumbled upon a group of wild beasts, things might be different, especially without her weaponry. Dris would never hear the end of it when Leara got through with her.<br/><br/>Walking over to the driver's side, the blonde warrior opened the door to slide David out of the vehicle and to the forest floor. She crouched down next to his unconscious body and rapped him a few times on his shoulder.<b>"David! David, please wake! We've a long journey yet and if we have not started out of here soon, I'll be forced to carry you."</b>The thought of hoisting such a large man over her shoulder made her anxious. She would likely have to drag him on the ground by his arms, and that would give him a number of problems to deal with. Looking around her once more, she spotted a small waterfall just a few meters away. It pooled at the bottom into a nice pond, and Leara suddenly had a great idea. She looked inside the car, found a discarded container that was made of odd material (plastic) and decided it would work well enough given her lack of resources. Rushing toward the water, she scooped up enough to fill the container and returned to David, where she proceeded to pour it over his face.<b>"David! I said wake up! You do not want me to carry you all the way to the citadel. It will not end well for you or for me."<br/>
</b><br/>Leara heard a faint grumbling come from the man on the ground and stood up proudly. A cruel little smile played on her face, and while she was serious most of the time, it was because of her training. The joy she got from watching David awake in this new, unknown world was going to be something she'd remember for a lifetime. Those that trained her never spoke of adventures such as this one, and as much as Leara was honestly enjoying herself, she knew that once they returned to the beautiful city of Neria located within her home Kingdom of Pardoria, her adventure with David would end. Leara didn't know that Fate had other plans for her.<br/><br/>Tag:<a class="username" data-user-id="82" data-username="@Manaan" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/82/">@Manaan</a>
