[private] i only know how to go too far

[Aela]

With the last days of autumn starting to fade into winter, Aela knows that it is safe to return to the Pampas.

She can return to scheming and her dreaming. They can continue to keep building those plans that they had started. Has there been any further progress in Loess, she wonders? If they were lucky, they wouldn't have to deal with Sylva again for some time. That lot could contend with themselves, Aela considering them a cesspool of chaos (and the kind that could ruin her own auspicious plans).

But it leaves other places across Beqanna open. Her mind has considered figuring how to get the Tephran volcano to erupt. There are always the islands to consider as well. Islandres is quiet, she knows. But if it is quiet, she knows that it means there is likely nobody to upset there. An empty island does her plan little good. But what about the other? Ischia. It was supposedly home to nereids, rumored to be beautiful creatures. Lovelier than her?

The palomino rolls her slender shoulders and doubts it, but Aela decides it is worth investigating.

It takes her some time to reach it, realizing that the only way to travel there was by a sandbar. She had to wait a day, and time her arrival with the parting tide. When the low-lying pathway was revealed, the gold-striped mare had followed it towards a tropical paradise that Aela found (surprisingly) appealing. She almost hated to imagine all the ways that she could ruin it.

Turning her elegant face to the side, she spied a rather... unusual creature near her. "I'm looking for the Dame," Aela explains kindly, as if she was here on some kind of diplomatic mission. Her smile warms slightly as she studies his antennae and the multitude of legs that he had. Did he scuttle like the crabs she had seen on her way here or did he just struggle in a delightful twist of too many limbs?

What had Carnage created here?

@Enoch horrible aela, as promised
