Elder Blood Witcher 572 Vacation?

He teleports to the top of the mountain where the Everlasting Dragon is to ask them to look after the settlement while he was gone, however when he arrives he finds Priscilla sitting on the Dragon's tail with Snuffles and Carimir on her lap.

Priscilla "Reima?" he asks, wondering what he was doing here.

Reima waves "Hey Cilla, I've come to speak with the old man."

She nods, "Grandpa?"

Eeuwigdurend "Yeesss child?"

Priscilla "Reima has come to speak with you."

Eeuwigdurend turns his ma.s.sive head towards Reima, "Well then? I am present... Speak."

Reima "Just wanted to let you know I'm going on a vacation and to ask you to look after everyone while I'm gone."

Priscilla "A vacation?" she asks with Snuffles head lifting and looking at him.

Eeuwigdurend "I will do so." he grumbles out.

Reima nods "Thanks." and begins walking away, only to be stopped by Priscilla.

Priscilla "Can I come?" she asks.

...

Reima "I don't know..."

Priscilla "Please? It sounds so exciting!"

...

Reima crosses his arms and nods, "Only if I can fluff your tail."

...

Priscilla looks confused at what he means but Eeuwigdurend glares at him.

Eeuwigdurend "Do you wish to die?" he asks gravely.

Reima shakes his head, it seems he'd have to try when the old man wasn't around. "Nevermind... Do you need anything before we leave?"

Priscilla shakes her head, "No, we should let my Brother know I'm leaving though."

Reima nods, walks up to the Eternal Dragon while retrieving a stainless steel plate. Reima heats his finger and carves a message into it, "Solaire! I have taken your sister with me on my vacation, I have no idea when we'll be back.". After he writes the message he nails it to the Dragons Stone Scales and nods. "That should do it."

Priscilla "Where are we going?" she asks with an excited expression.

Reimna shrugs, "No idea... Let's hope it's interesting though." he says as he touches the half-breeds shoulder and begins contemplating where his destination should be. Primarily, he wants to find someone who'll take his place and limit the workload he's under... So, someone in-charge of many people who's in dire need of help. Someone who's not averse to ruling over "Freaks". And someone who wishes to relocate their people... Or, simply, someone suitable for the role he has in mind for them.

This vague idea slowly comes to fruition as Reima, Priscilla, Snuffles and Carimir begin to glow with a turquoise light.

*FLASH*

They disappear with a flash, leaving nothing but green particles behind. Eeuwigdurend watches with a neutral expression, eventually moving his head so he can easily watch over the settlement, as per Reima's request. He could see the still building city, the keep Kaer Morhen itself and some kind of statue being erected in the city center... "Mortals." he'd never understand them.

The group reappears on a snowy hill, during some sort of blizzard. The snowfall was so thick that it came up to their waists and they could barely see a couple meters ahead.

Priscilla frowns, "Reima, when you said vacation I thought you meant someone warm... This place reminds me of my old prison."

Reima "Well, I didn't really know where we would end up, to be honest..." he says as he looks behind him, seeing a long rope bridge behind him that looks incredibly similar to the one in the painted world of Ariamis. "Yeah, I'm getting the same vibes as you..." he says as he conjures a large flame on his hand and telekinetically shields them from the blizzard.

Priscilla holds onto Reima's arm while feeling the warmth being emitted by him and the flame, "Thank you."

Reima nods, "Don't worry about it, I'd rather not have Carimir turn into a catsicle either."

Snuffles hops onto his shoulder and slaps his ear.

Reima "What was that for?" he asks, giving the rabbit a glare.

Snuffles turns back into Nerissa and sits on his shoulders with a neutral expression, "Hungry."

Reima shakes his head in disbelief, "I'll feed you when we find shelter, alright?" he states with young vampire nodding.

They begin to walk, the blizzard continuing and creating a surprisingly comfortable atmosphere, the warmth being emitted by the flame making them feel like they're inside a log cabin, watching the weather from inside.

The group continues to walk down the hill, which begins to reveal pine tree's occasionally dotted around, though something is immediately wrong when they get to the bottom...

Nerissa "Something smells... Smells like you Reima."

...

Reima "Smells like ash, somethings burning." he states, and begins to head towards it.

The blizzard slowly begins to clear up and the group find themselves in the middle of some kind of village, or, what used to be a village. The entire place is on fire, it seems to have only recently happened as well as the buildings are still burning.

Priscilla "There might be people inside, we need to help them!" she quickly says and begins walking towards the nearest building.

They all enter and realise that this is some kind of library, though most of the books have already been burned... The only thing notable other than the normal looking furniture is the thick coating of snow on the floor, it doesn't seem to melt however which confuses Reima...

Reima "There's no one here, they must've ran away and escaped."

Priscilla nods, "Atleast no one was killed... This Vacation isn't turning out very well..."

Reima sighs, "Yeah... You got me there."
