“We’ll take it slow but we need to reach higher elevation as quick as we can. I’ve found fresh water and shelter further inland.”
As the first voyagers began to move doggedly in the direction of Ixchel’s summoning cry, the Atlanian and the Earthstalker took up the rear. The former’s glacial, pleochroic gaze was divided evenly between his god, the inland territory, and the remaining survivors; the latter was crouched at the water’s edge, a pearlescent female rooting through the debris and detritus alongside him. It appeared that their window of opportunity was swiftly beginning to close, however, for the darkened sky was soon illuminated by several shafts of distant lightning and a fierce roll of thunder — the worsening weather, driven by the breaking summer heat and the cloudburst from far off shore, was well on its way to creating a pocket of storm directly overhead.
