Setting
In an illustrious land of autumn hues far beyond the sunset is where your tale began.
There you stood, in a field bathed in sunlight, waist high grasses browned by summer passed.
It was a golden stretch of curiosity, natural and naked made for your exploration.
There was, as far as the eye could see to the north, south, and east, nothing but the swaying reeds.
Over to the west, a crag of dark stone stretched towards the sky.
How did you get here?
"Where to next, friend?"
He doesn't know if he should consider Mitch a friend, for the being seems too... Afloat, like he's not anchored to reality. But he's also the first person he met, and Mitch seems friendly enough.
So he decides to trust him.
Was that the sound of a ship? She had learned of this technology in the past, but had never seen one up close in person. Her ears picked up on the slightest mechanics and inner workings. Elvish ears tended to be more sensitive to that sort of thing, although it could be a great annoyance at times. Aetheria watches the man and looks to where he's gazing: it is a ship! She was able to gaze at it in wonder for a few moments, before turning her attention to Joseph. She crept from her hiding place and watches the man with a careful movement. She didn't want to startle him, but she wanted to find out more. When the man put his helmet on, she marveled at the design of the strange helmet. Aetheria approached with caution and attempted to introduce herself as a friendly being. Her weapons were sheathed and she smiled. "Hello. I am Aetheria. Are you lost?" She asked Joseph, distracted by his helmet.
