As planned, she makes her way to the Deserts. Though for once, she doesn’t have to walk. Not that she’s even remotely mastered her new-found skills. She hasn’t, but still, she manages to shift into a raven nonetheless. There’s a few horsehairs sticking out here and there, she’s certain, but she’s got working wings and that’s all she needs at this point. After all, she’s not flying into the Deserts.
No, in fact she lands rather a distance away from hot, arid kingdom. Though she can’t help but revel in how quickly she can travel with wings. Walking is so terribly slow. Still, she’s one hundred percent as she approaches the Deserts. It feels strange to cross the border, but she’s been told that’s the whole point of this thing, and so she makes her way into the kingdom. Briefly, she wonders if Lu is here. Would her sister even speak to her, if Straia found the girl?
Doubtful.
Their last meeting had not gone well, and Straia has not been back in the Deserts since. She has no other reason to come here really, other than her sister. Who sister who (rightfully) despises her now. Still, she would love to mend those differences, move past it all. Have her sister back.
Though Oksana was back. Quietly so, mostly lingering in the shadows. But still, she was around, and Straia could find her. That was such a rare feeling that Straia simply planned to enjoy it for as long as it lasted. Probably not that long, knowing Oksana. But it’s more than Straia usually gets when it comes to family.
She’s pretty sure some of her kingdom is already here. The rest of them were participating in the different events. Straia, however, planned to simply come and be something of a social butterfly. So she doesn’t seek out her kingdom mates – after all, they could talk at home. Instead, she makes her way into the kingdom, slowly but surely.
She’s acting a bit like the tourist she is, really looking at the rocky ground that gives way to sand and dunes eventually. The oasis begins to take shape in the distance, and she figures that’s a good place to head. So that’s exactly what she does, figuring someone would find her at some point or another.
