[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 5981540, member: 4936"] The masts of [i]Horizon's Kiss[/i] were not tall after the ships Khepri had seen in the harbors of Magnimar, but the ship was quick and its men cheerful, so the trip was far more pleasant than the one across the sea proper had been. In truth, though she had read about oceans before, the sight of all that water had been dizzying at first...and the motion of the ship on the deep sea waves had confined her to her quarters for a great deal of the journey. Now the day was sunny and bright, the wind brisk and fresh, and she'd had her 'sea legs' for days now. She was on deck when the [i]Kiss[/i] came in sight of the Old Light. The ancient spire of stone was just how the books had described it, looming over the town from atop its sheer cliffs; its top broken off long ago, leaving only a great stone tube behind. It had been a lighthouse, used by ancient Thassilon, or so the scholastic community agreed. Khepri's heart leapt to see it, and it was all she could do to stop herself from a most unseemly dance on the ship's deck. She had arrived! --------------- The mood in the town echoed the young sage's perfectly. Having paid the captain what was left of the gold she owed him for the trip and given her goodbyes, Khepri found the small town in a state of celebration. A festival! Truly, the gods smiled on her endeavors! With a broad smile, marred only by the meat pie she was polishing off, Khepri let her the hood of her white robes down, letting her rich dark skin show, and her black hair, curled into tubular locks in the style not uncommon in Osirion. Beyond that, the pouches and pockets that adorned her garments, along with the traveling journal at her side, and the scrollcases dangling from her belt, clearly suggested her occupation. Despite the dangers of travel, she carried no weapon, wore no armor. She needed neither, and either would only have slowed her down in a crisis. She was a stranger in these lands, but had never felt so welcome since leaving the Mountain of Scribes. Sandpoint had so much to see...she started with the great cathedral, since that's what the celebration was about. How did this community of natives and colonists venerate their gods? The answer could find its way into her book! [/QUOTE]
