"I want you two out, out /OUT/! You've done nothing but laze around since you got back from the Basantha Shrine, and I will /not/ have that in my ranch." The dragon anthro known as Basil was beside herself with fury. Tikal the Temple hollowheart and Tempest the Temple Yonyuu and gone from the most eager workers to the laziest in a matter of weeks. No. /Days/. They hadn't picked up a tool of their trade in who knows how long.
"But we have nothing to do!" Tempest protested. He quailed under the look he received from Basil after that.
She became eerily calm. "So. You laze because I have given you nothing to do, is that right?" They both gupled. It was Tikal who dared to reply. "Y-yes..." Basil smiled. "Well then. It seems I am the one in error." She smiled wickedly. "I'll just have to give you two something to do." She walked away for a few minutes and came back carrying a messenger bag of their mapmaking tools and and another bag of supplies for a journey. They sighed inwardly with relief. Basil was just going to send them off somewhere. Probably to the Craiss Caverns.
"You two shall travel across the whole of Evelon. I want a map of every place you go, clearly marked and neatly made." A look of pure horror crossed the two temple patterned creatures' faces. "A-all of Evelon?!"
Basil was already walking back up to the ranch house. She turned around. "Oh! Are you two still here? Best get going." The two hastily put on the bags.
"May all the Gods grant you speed." She said again with a smile.
The memory was still clear in their heads as they trekked across Lambastia.
They stopped to rest under a tall tree, taking their packs off and letting them drop with a thud.
"Ugh. I haven't flown so long and hard in...well ever actually." The hollowheart commented as he dug around his pack for a roll.
"Me neither. Yeesh..." He took out a large peice of Parchment and recorded a few details before stowing it back in the bag.
"This'll be... exciting."
