"Make sure to check our vocals, we don't want to sound too strange. And check the translators."
The leather helped keep them warm as they began to look around the surrounding marshy area. Taking in the view of the sea before they began to march towards the closest settlement.
"Let's shoot to make it, at least before the night."
The feminine figure gave an understanding nod as they began the hike. The man looked down at a map of the area he had made for them to keep track of their location. Moving towards the settlement of Carch as it seemed the closest to where they made landfall.

Lurching out of hyperspace is a small frigate, branded with the symbol of the dominion, and its signature deep red glow. Quickly a transmission is sent as a small personal fighter, an S-22 Kestrel, is launched.

//Transmission: Local Frequency//
"This is Captain Thylan, sent on behalf of warlord Vyric Kellos. I have dispatched a special operations soldier, the best we have, on an S-22 Kestrel. They shall arrive to the planet shortly and begin the mission."
//Transmission Cut//

The Kestrel engages its fusion drives to maximum, speeding down towards the surface of the planet as it shimmers in light, dissapearing from view, the only thing left visible being small microcameras used for navigation by the pilot, barely seeable in the extreme speed used by the craft.

    As they turned inwards and began their march they left behind the sounds of the waves caressing the beach, and entered a temperate to boreal forest. The woods seemed to be quiet, and the ambience was almost to be described as eerie.

    Here in the forest the fog had moved back a bit, and only in the areas already almost out of view did the fog become too thick to see through.

    Soon enough they encountered a small forest path seemingly leading away from the sea into the woods, in the distance a small rackety bridge over a babbling brook could be spotted through the brush with a keen eye.

    "Affirmative, good to have you here. Permission to land granted, as a tip, begin your search around zhe city Kar, ve believe him to have operated in zhe approximate area.
    ..Be aware others are and will be hunting zhe prey, if you fight zhem for it, keep zhe attention to a minimum."

    Good hunt and Waidmannsheil."
    //Transmission End//

    The planet lay open before them, with the fighter having free reign on where to land..

    Area around Kar:

    As eyes laid upon the path the duo shifted to go upon it. The leather boots with iron toes and a padded bottom carrying them comfortably across the ground as they stepped into the trail and began to walk down it heading for this nearby named area upon the map.

    The two hummed to each other, a friendly sing song tune.

    The move toaned voice of the man spoke out.
    "Sabrina, remember when we first met? That cool afternoon, you were traveling through woods just like this. It was like I saw an angel I remember."

    The feminine follower gave a light cheered smile.
    "Oh and I thought I saw a demon chasing after me to say hi." She spoke in a playful tone back.
    The man giving a hearty chuckle as they spoke back and fourth.

    boombox
    He smiles.
    "Very well."
    The submarine begins to submerge, slipping into subspace as it travels toward the planet. It eventually surfaces near an abandoned beach on the west end of the Urisagian Empire. Two people get off, and the submarine departs.

      They are greeted by a slight breeze and the sounds of waves crashing against the shore. Their landing site, located on the beach at 4°W and 17°S, was on one side circumscribed by the sea and on the other by a about 20 metre tall white cliff face. On the other side of the cliff there seemed to be vegetation, but due to the angle only the tops of some trees could be seen.

      Looking about, the two noticed something. It was cold. 5°C would be a decent estimate, and added to the coldness coming from the sea a thick fog prevented the sun from shining through.

      Along the beach dead wood could be seen, as well as a break in the cliff face where a flood or something akin had broken the stone walls and made it much easier to climb. In the other direction the cliffs made a turn and thus disappeared from view, being replaced by the sea.

      Having reached the rickety bridge, it was to be noticed that the forest had went entirely quiet. No bird coule be heard, no chirping insects, just silence.

      ..But forwards, in front of them in the woods where the path continued, a distinct clanging of metal could be heard, as well as the steps of a singular person. The speed seemed to be of walking pace, and the steps sounded light off the damp earth, coming ever closer but norhing being distinguishable through the fog..

      boombox (aw hell nah he got the battle music

      The man glared his eyes at the noise. The footsteps perking his ear as he gripped the handle of the blade.

      "Standby.."
      He spoke the order as the feminine follower pulled her bow, notching an arrow upon it in caution.

      boombox
      They move toward the break, and begin to climb, scaling large boulders as they move up the cliff. Having been disguised to blend in with the natives, they are adequately prepared for the climate.

        kola2134
        Standing ready they see....

        ..a girl, maybe 17, 18 years of age, with red hair and green eyes, in a brown simple dress and a woollen jacket, with a clanging bucket in her hand.
        She hops along the path merrily, until she spots the two armed strangers on the road, one of the two holding a nocked bow..

        For her everything slows down to slow-motion as the the adrenaline takes over.. The bucket slips out of her hand and hits the gravel with a loud clang, rolling along the path before stopping in the ditch. She backs away slowly, holding her hands to her sides, her face being one of fear and confusion. Listening closely one could hear her stammering..:
        "No.. please!..
        Then, freeing herself from her paralyzing shock, she turns around on her toes, and starts sprinting away, while the gravel rocks fly away from her feet.

        Reaching the top they enter the woods, a temperate to boreal forest, with a thick underbrush. The going through there would be slow, but possible. Along the ledge a deer could be seen asing, but jumping off into the woods after seeing the two individuals.

        boombox
        They begin trekking along, slowly heading toward the town called "Forbognilia"

        boombox
        "A-Ah! Wait!"
        He cried out realizing it was a simple person before she seemed to spin and run.
        "God damnit, fuck."
        He sheathed the blade as the feminine follower returned the arrow to the quiver.
        "Stay out of sight, use them damn wings and get Infront of that girl before she gets us in trouble."

        All he heard was a quick Roger and the white haired girl was already gone. He picked up the bucket and began jogging to catch up. She swept through the trees with a fast elegance as she slid to a stop just off the path before emerging Infront of the running away girl.

        "Stop!"

          kola2134
          "..No! please- hah!" she stumbles but catches her fall and keeps running. "-Leave me alone!"

          The girl keeps on running along the path, more than once stumbling and regaining her balance, before looking about sideways into the thick vegetation and jumping into it, hurried footsteps leading deeper into the woods.

          For the feminine flyer the woods were a slight trouble to navigate to say the least, from above the trees there was no visual on the path or whats below, and flying between the trees proved to be a rather distracting task as it involved dodging hundreds of branches, trunks and the like..


          ZendikaroftheWest
          The going got easier deeper inside the forest as the underbrush got thinner.
          There was a distinct smell of beer in the air though, wafting through the forest.. and before long they heard and saw the source of the smell, a cart laden with barrels trundling along a gravel road, towards presumably nearby civilization, being pulled by horses with a singular driver on top of the cart, armed with a crossbow to his side.
          He hummed a quiet song while passing along.

          boombox
          It was with a form of elegance as she seemed to glide through all the obstacles. She could stop on the dime, grab branches, or fold in and thread a needle. As she landed ahead the path. Noticing the girl was missing from view of the path. Her ears slightly perked as she listened for the breathing of the girl almost like a hunter. She could hear the moving vegetation as she turned into the deeper woods and followed the path of the girl chasing quickly after.

          "God fucking damnit I forgot how fast she was."
          The man exhaled as he kept up a fast pace following after. He seemed to tap something.
          "Tracking. I'm coming up the rear still."
          He said seemingly into the air as he took the turn into the thicker woods.

          boombox
          As soon as he was spotted, the first one, one Wulf Flakken, the captain of the sub, touched a button on his wrist. Instantly, his blue skin flickered and changed, turning into pale, human skin. The other, did the same. Then, just after the cart passed, the jumped out, and began to assume a pose as "Travelers" beginning to slowly walk in the direction of the cart.

            kola2134
            The girl fell in the woods over a lying tree and snatched herself up, running in a panicked state, before glancing back to see her pursuers catching on, and pushed away a few branches, revealing a cave entrance.
            "Please!! I beg- hah..- of you! Leave me alone!"
            Disappearing in the darkness of the cavern, her panting grew more silent..
            Looking inside the cave it seemed to be a singular long and thin pathway through the cave, opening up into a room farther in.


            ZendikaroftheWest
            The road was silent as they marched, with nothing to stop them in their path, though the birds gave them a nice musical to listen to. After a while an oxcart came closing towards them, carrying hay.
            The driver, seemingly a farmer halted the cart to look down to them:
            "Aye. Ya look new here, can I help ya?"

            boombox
            They send a quick response affirming the Germans, and then sit in waiting.

            Meanwhile..

            S-22 Kestrel, Special Operative 'Thanatos'.

            The Engine of the plane gave a silent whirring as it breached the atmosphere, the bright burning flames of re-entry covered in invisibility, the vessel's gravitational manipulation field bending the light out of the way, which both blinded the kestrel and made it invisible to the outside world visually, only able to see and be seen by sensor systems. The craft quietly made its way on a slow burn towards the forest, north of the road between Forbognilia and Kar. It sat itself down in a clearing, the VTOL engines bringing it to a slow landing. The Gravitiational field stopped its function as it came close to the ground, a flicker and then a slight shimmer as the blackness of the plane's near-vantablack paintjob and sleek, but the angular figure came to view, the landing gear kicking out as dust and leaves are shoved aside. The cockpit hissed open, sliding back as the operative, Thanatos, stepped out.

            They wore standard specops gear for a dominion operative, but with a hardy hologram generator hooked up to powerful batteries on their back, with a small pair of supercapacitors on their belt for future recharging while away from the kestrel. The Gender and features of the operative was obscured by the suit, but the voice quickly gave it away as they gave a slight grunt, hefting themselves out of the cockpit and jumping down to the ground with a thud, standing upright. Their voice was slightly feminine, but somewhat deepened by the thickness of their helmet. The Hologram generator would allow them to hide their outfit behind a false one that matches the local populace. She begins to look around the forest, taking in the sights and tapping in the rough coordinates of Kar into the little GPS on her wrist, that would be guided via mapping by the frigate in orbit.

            Sabrina came to a sudden stop as she halted in front of the cave entrance. Giving out a heavy exhale, the human partner soon catching up as he arrived puffing.
            "This feels like a trap.."
            Her soft voice spoke. The man catching his breath as he responded.
            "Y-Yeah... Standby, Onguard."
            He pulled the blade from its sheath as he began to move forward into the tunnel. The white hair of the followed lifting somewhat in a light breeze, before going stale as an arrow was notched on a bow.

            boombox
            Flakken smiles.
            "Could you point us in the direction of the nearest town?"
            At that moment, he would notice that they are both armed, with Flakken carrying a rapier, and the other carrying a longsword, with a crossbow on his back.

              The damp cave seemed to be quiet except for the dripping sound of water from above. On the slick cave stones the traversal meant a slow creep forward to be silent, but the two reached the main room of the cave rather quickly.
              The first thing the two noticed was a faint glow from the main cave room..

              It was dark in the cave, but it seemed to be an almost circular shape. This circular room was lit by two hastily lit fires on either side of what seemed to be an altar of sorts, consisting of a large stone inscribed in some unintelligeble language and adorned by skulls of animals, maybe cows or horses, left and right. The fires were situated in bowls lighting up the room in a flickering, warm light, a hissing sound whenever water dripped into them.

              The girl could be spotted kneeling on a fur infront of the altar, mumbling to herself frantically in an unknown language, her fear could be felt through her voice and body language as she almost cowered while kneeling..
              "ᚷᛟᛞᛊ,᛫ᛈᚱᛟᛏᛖᚲᛏ᛫ᛗᛖ᛫ᚠᚱᛟᛗ᛫ᚦᛖ᛫ᛖᚹᛁᛚ᛫ᚺᚢᚾᛏᛁᛜ᛫ᛗᛖ,᛫ᚷᛁᚹᛖ᛫ᛗᛖ᛫ᚦᛖ᛫ᛈᛟᚹᛖᚱ᛫ᛏᛟ᛫ᛞᛖᚠᛖᚾᛞ᛫ᛗᚢᛊᛖᛚᚠ!"
              Her voice, while warm and soft, sounded laden with fear and determination through the cavern, and when she stopped speaking, she slowly stood up, looking towards the entrance, her eyes partly hidden by her hair..


              ZendikaroftheWest
              The mans hand slowly wanders over to his crossbow, as he notices the weapons of the two disguised men.
              "Say, ya two. Mind tellin' me where ya from?"

              He grips the crossbow.
              "We had a problem with.. raiders.. lately.."
              With that he tries to understand the two's intentions, looking Flakken deeply in the eyes, the rather old man seemed weak but at the same time willing to stand his ground.

              The trees rustle around them from the wind as a tense silence lays between the cart driver and Flakken..


              Brank
              The forest was eerily quiet around, as all the close animals had been scared away by the landing, but otherwise everything seemed unproblematic;
              The temperate to boreal forest around was overlaid by a slight fog, which made its way through the trees at the edges of her vision as she looked around. There seemed to be a clearing here because a while ago people had cut down the trees for wood and dragged them out along a path going towards the main road between Forbognilia and Kar.
              Slowly the birds began chirping again, one after another, as nature returned to its normal state, and the sun weakly shone through the fog.
