Salacia Sparrow
Salacia's eyes were locked on the distant silhouette of the city. She turned, shocked slightly by the sudden outburst, having been too preoccupied to have heard the sound of the approaching hooves. Pulling on the reigns she slowed Marina down to a trot, guilt gripping her as her horse panted, the sweat rising from the Clydesdale's coat. Salacia's shoulders hunched momentarily before she relaxed and reached out to pat Marina's back before leaning back in the seat.
Suddenly realizing that there had been someone that had brought her horse's condition to her attention. The gelding the man was riding seemed to be having a better time in taking in the distance. She put a smile on her face as she took in the horse's rider.
She nodded towards him, "Thank you for the information."
She cocked her head momentarily before she asked "Are you heading towards Caritus to investigate the sounds as well?" She couldn't call it an explosion, black plumes of smoke didn't rise from the horizon. Whatever it had been, it had made quite the impact in her mind. She kept trying to nut it out in her mind, she didn't know why she was drawn towards it. But if she was honest, there was another pull, no where near as strong, but just as present. It came from the south. She frowned, trying to figure out why she wasn't heading in that direction instead when the answer struck her: Caritus was near water.
Good enough for her.
