i reach out to my lifeline, the angels laugh in paradise
It was nice to have some names for the areas El was traveling through. The Barrows seemed like an appropriate name for the area, and Meadowreach suited this place nicely. However, El was soon distracted when the stranger mentioned that she flew over the area. She must be Attuned, then. El wondered what form they took when flying. They had always felt reverent of their grandmother's ability to shift into a small wildcat and jealous that they could never do the same.
Their companion just kept talking, which made things a little easier for El. They seemed like a seasoned traveler. El wondered what their background was, to be so capable and cultured and still so young.
"No, I've not had the chance to go to Stormbreak. I've never heard of it before. It sounds lovely though, and I would like to see it someday. I'd like to see the whole world someday, but honestly, I don't know if that's possible." They sounded a bit sheepish as they said this. They were, after all, just some sheltered farmer from the rural hills of the Hollowed Grounds. Whereas this person, well, she could just as well have been from Stormbreak, from how knowledgeable she sounded. Her name just added to this perception of El's; it sounded pretty and almost regal to them.
"I'm El, from the Hollowed Grounds. Are you from Stormbreak, or the Refuge?" No way a person as bright and friendly as this was from the Hollowed Grounds. The place was too depressing to have people like her. "I am feeling better, but this place is so lovely, I'm not sure I'll ever want to leave."
