[IC] Lost in Dreams [Elijah]

[ericthered]

Stone stands calmly. Elijah thinks there may be a smile on his face, but with Stone, He couldn't tell.

(what is elijah taking with him to the fire mountain?)

[Talosian]

(Everything he's acquired so far, short spear, other end of spear, knife, etc. He'll also take some strips of leather if he can, as he expects to be trying to splinting some legs.)

[ericthered]

Elijah walks off toward the fire mountain. it seems he's looking at from a different angle than in his dreams. Its not really a tall mountain, just a steep one. It seems to have been active in recent times, judging from the rock formations, but thats only to be expected.

Elijah now sees where the obsidian that everyone he's seen using has come from: its from this mountain.

Elijah's feet start throbbing. They are raw, and he has blisters on them, but he could live with that. Its the sharp rock that hurts.

[Talosian]

Elijah will try to avoid the sharp rocks as much as possible, pacing himself accordingly. If the mountain gets too steep, he'll go around the mountain looking for a better path.

[ericthered]

Elijah find himself very tired as he climbs the Fire Mountain. When he gets to the top, he finds the crater, but the only trace of the girl is some blood on the stones. It starts at the top of one of the edges and goes all the way down to the bottom. Its not a ton of blood, just enough to be noticeable. It could have come from a very bad nose bleed.

[Talosian]

Elijah will follow the trail as far as he can, doubling back and searching thoroughly if he loses track of it.

[ericthered]

The trail proves almost impossible to find. The new stone just doesn't have anything that could hold a mark. Elijah searches and searches but in the end has to give up.

as he heads down, he does so another way, and sees another drop of blood--- about 6 feet from tire tracks.

[Talosian]

Elijah stares at the tracks for a moment, stunned. He looks around for any more drops of blood, but if he can't find any, he'll follow the tire tracks.

[ericthered]

Following the tire tracks is decently easy at first, as the vehicle is making no attempt to be stealthy. After an hour he looses the trail, but after searching for quite some time finds it again. His feet are throbbing.

After three hours of following the tracks, he sees a flare go up...quite a bit off to the side of where the tracks have been going.

[Talosian]

Elijah pauses for a moment, then decides to try to go towards the flare. He tries to memorize his path as he goes.
