At first, it was unclear what drew her to the shores that day. Hāsta had protested as usual, but eventually joined Corrdelia on her journey. It was something in her heart that told her she needed to see the ocean today. Of course, her crow companion made a comment about how "it wasn't anywhere near summer yet, the ocean is too cold", but that wasn't the point. Something wanted her to be over there today and it'd bother her all day if she ignored it.
And so they took flight with Hāsta following beside her. Normally Corr didn't mind walking, but flying would get them both there much more quickly. She made sure to bring some supplies with her in case they ran into any trouble, but she was hoping for nothing too dangerous.
Unfortunately, Corr would not be met with good tidings on this journey. The ground beneath her trembled and ached and it seemed the world was erupting into chaos along the horizon. There was smoke, so much smoke, and fire further out.
Once she had a good view from the shore, her heart stopped. It was something she had never seen before, but it was horrifying. For once, even Hāsta was silent and simply perched herself on Corr's shoulder. They looked out in silence and tears welled up in Corr's eyes. There were many voices around her, but she could not focus on them. Instead, all she could hear was the cracking and booming in the distance. Was this the end?
"Corr, we need to go. Now."
For once, she did not argue with her companion. She was right, it was not safe here. They needed to go back home and warn everyone, and they had to do it quickly.
"Let's go!" she replied to the crow telepathically and leaped back into the air. Hāsta did not hesitate and followed beside her, both of them trying to avoid all the smoke and other crap lingering in the air now. Corr prayed to Mother Earth (and Vespera, if she was listening and cared. Corr was told that she was a temperamental one) that they would be safe and that there could be some way they would be able to overcome this.
"Speaking."
