======Is Late Worse Than Never?====== [[story:start|Back to Stories]] - [[character:ravi|More About Ravi]] \\ //Written by: Sammy //\\ <- [[story:ravis_service|Ravi's Service]] | [[story:ravi|Home]] | ??? -> ---- ====Chapter 1: Its Good to See you Again==== [[location:lily_vale_cemetery|Lily Vale Cemetery]]. That's where the leads kept pointing. \\ [[character:Ravi]] had been trying to track down a man she once new long ago. It was a longshot in every sense of the word. It had been more than seventy (70) years. While she had longevity to spare, Humans, like the man she was trying to find would be nearing their end. \\ The whole journey so far could be summed up by 'Too Late'.\\ Returning to the sand-soaked nation of [[faction:Covania]] had not been so simple. The Nation and its neighbours seem to all be in some sort of strife. Rumours of the Lord Queen of [[faction:Oxtrad]] say she has gone missing, [[Faction:Reton]] is dealing with more potential civil war over the independence of [[faction:Greyhawk]] and //Covania// itself was having no calm with minor events happening all throughout its borders. \\ Borders had become more tightly guarded. Fees had been put in place at some of the major international ports. Though it was sure to be only temporary, Once the dust settled things would go back to somewhat normalcy. The warm glow of orange sunlight bathed the small hills and vales. Looking back towards the city, [[town:Ferrabreeze]] was mostly a silhouette as the sun had begun dipping behind the horizon. It was a sight to be able to still see the large port city still so far away, ode to the relatively flat landscape and sparce vegetation. Save for here. Where the land rises in few gentle hills, were a cemetery run by an old coroner is located. \\ Looking up the sky was blanketed by a thin layer of cloud, dimpled and wave showing deep shadows along the surface due to the sunset rays. Wind was picking up, Blowing through Ravi's mass of long blazing crimson hair, picking it up and swirling it with the gust's direction, The howling of the wind in her large ears, causing the to twitch and tilt to avoid the brunt of it. \\ Remington her companion, a Singora Eagle snuggled tight against Ravi's head, floofing his feathers and crouching down to avoid the wind. Resting on Ravi's solder as a normal sized bird. The hill was not a difficult climb despite Ravi's last few years of calm her new work has kept her somewhat fighting fit. Oddly the hills here were covered in thin grass, and other vegetation grew noticeably denser here. \\ As she climbed the road up the hill against this deeply calm scenery, Ravi's mind and heart were racing. Anticipation, fear, was this all for nothing?. \\ //"Oh jeeze oh gods, hes gonna be ancient! if hes not dead already!! ohhhh whyy did it take so long to realise?!"// \\ Ravi was constantly in her own head about the time, Several justifications would flow in and out of her head, perhaps Exilis had given him longer life, perhaps he got a moment of grace from his god. But equally Sinicism would flow, He is already passed o or he is so ancient he won't recognise her. what if he never made it out of Exilis?!
