A Return {open}

[Kalthandrix]

A Gateway shimmered open and a young man in a black coat, buttoned on the side with a high, tight neck, stepped off the of the Skimming platform and allowed the weave to fall away as he exited.

 

Vykor looked around, resolve etched upon his face but mixed with a tinge of uncertainty. He had not been back here in a long time and the hunt had not gone well, but he was done for now and had orders to rest. Habit made him caress the small worn-lether satchel hanging from his hip and hook a finger behind the two leathr straps crossing his chest, shifting the long hilted sword sheathed upon his back.

 

Men, many of them black coated and dangerous looking, could be seen here and there, in groups, pairs, or alone. The numbers were far greater then two years ago, but that was only to be expected. Women and a few children dotted the scenery, though there few numbers only served to make the numerious men appear to stand out even more.

 

He looked around, hoping to spot a face he might recongize...

Vykor had been standing at the edge of the Traveling Grounds for some time, unsure if he should head over to see if his cabin was still standing, report in...his orders has not been specific whom he was to report to. He had wandered far enough from the ground so that anyone opening a Gateway would not cut him in two, but so far no one had arrived and nobody seemed interested in coming over to meet him.

 

Thinking that it would be best to go to his cabin first and freshen up, he began strolling in that direction. Other men in black coats walked by with a purpose or sauntered past with an air of haughty nobility depending upon if they wore no pins upon their collar or if they carried the sword and dragon.

 

As he walked, he tried to compose his report in his head, but soon found himself wondering where the sudden rush of people was going that he found himself with.

 

'S'not like I had much else to do for now', he thought and allowed himself to be carried along...

 

It was some time later, after the "lession in unity", that he once more found himself wandering away from the main roads and such that made up the ground of the Black Tower and wandered over to his cabin.
