Message: <blockquote data-quote="Aeris Winterood" data-source="post: 669972" data-attributes="member: 2195">The VeilThe morning comes quickly to those sleeping near the Veil. A small amount of snow fell during the night, lightly covering the campsite. Servant looks to the Veil trying to study and figure out its nature. Purposely, ahead of the rest of the party he approaches the Veil.  Slowly and a little nervously, Servant sticks his right hand through the Veil, up to his elbow. Servant feels a slight “tugging” feeling on his arm, but nothing outrageous. Servant calls to the others in his group, “Guys, I really don’t think this is that bad. And it feels like it is only an inch or so deep.”The rest of the party reach the Veil, and check it out the Veil for themselves. Wu Vaka, who is leading the loaned donkey, lets out, “Come on, go through the damn thing. We don’t have much time to waste.” At that, Servant strides through the Veil with all the others closely behind. Wu Vaka does have to coax and tug to get the donkey through, and in the end does manage to get it through. The area on the inside of the Veil was amazing. February and snow in Aldor, and then they step into 100 degree heat. They all shed there winter cloaks as they gaze around at the surrounding land. What was once fertile highlands is now a broken, charred land with sparse growth. Any trees around are twisted and gnarled, grasses are burned and wilted. The sky glows in an eerie pale gray and fireballs can be seen randomly bursting through overhead. While standing and gawking, Moss shouts out to the party, “Look out!”A small fireball hurtles at their feet, everyone diving for cover. Wu Vaka, who was tending the donkey, was unable to get out of the way, including the poor beast. They are pelted with burning debris from the fireball and each of them is slightly singed. The donkey bays loudly. Wu Vaka quickly grabs a cloak and puts out a fire that had started on the donkey’s hair. They all realize that they are not in Asylum anymore. The narrow road that they were following from Asylum continues through the Veil, moving to the northwest, slowly rising into the highlands. “With any luck we should be in and out of here in no time,” exclaims Gabriel. The group continues down the path, with a more deliberate step and constantly keeping watch into the sky for falling meteors and fireballs.</blockquote>
