The Dwarven Kingdoms. While not necessarily a bad place, it certainly wasn't the best place to travel through. James had just emerged on the North-Eastern side of the Dwarven Kingdoms. Having just turned 18 James had set off alone on his own journey to see new lands and meet new people. Although his hopeful joy for these new lands was cutoff quickly. He had made camp atop one of the lower mountain peeks by the edge of the mountain range, it was up there where he noticed the fires breaking out in the forest. Concern had spread across his face before turning back to a expressionless view as they seemed to go out from some form of rainfall. He didn't seem to have any other concerns besides the seemingly floating wagon that drifted just above the trees, heading off to where? He wasn't sure, all he was sure was that magic was quite present in these lands or at least in the people that lived in the lands and that wagon was no exception.
He let out a sigh, the night had played out quite peculiarly, but once James had seen the wagon float up he started to pack his belongings up, hoping to maybe catch up with it, if not just go to wherever it had appeared from. He made his way down the rest of the mountain, hitting the edge of the forest. He had lost sight of the flying wagon as he was not fast enough in climbing down the mountain. He opted to head into the forest to see where the wagon might have originated from, hoping strongly that it was a settlement of sorts, preferably one open to foreigners.
He had wandered for more than half the night before seeing any signs of civilization. It didn't seem like much to him, but he was barely able to see people working to repair damaged buildings. James assumed that this village may had been where the fires he had saw on the mountain actually occurred at.
With a steady sigh he pressed forward, approaching the front gates. Now it may have been true that he was human, but where James was from magic was a bizarre treat that the people came to love, accepted by all from all. Unsure of the customs and practices of this particular village he stood outside the gates with only one thing being seemingly off. Upon first glance you may not notice it, but when looking closely at James he seems to have a natural breeze following him wherever he goes. Not that he could control it, it was just something he had been born with. With that said, he stood in silence, wondering if anyone was on guard or if he was simply sitting outside a village for nothing.
After a few moments of silence he spoke up, "Uh... Hello? Is anyone there?" James wasn't sure what to say next, just going with the first thought that came to his head. "I noticed the fires earlier, would I be able to offer myself to help in any way possible? I could help rebuild some of the homes, or anything really." He finished with a bow, still unsure if anyone had seen him from the walls.

Merry approached Moonlight and Viviana as the question of ownership was asked, "Um... Wrong, actually... Please forgive me... My name is Merry, and I'm not Moonlights owner. I'm simply her good friend. You have an aura that is unfamiliar to me, but I can sense that you are a good being, and a welcomed friend to arrive on Moonlight's back. Tell me, what has become of Vermillion? Did he make it back safely?" Merry says in a calm and almost shy tone.
Moonlight would shift slightly and mutter several grunts, purrs, and rhythmic snorts, seeming to be speaking calmly. In the process Moonlight also looks back at Viviana for a moment, almost like she was gesturing to her. Merry would smile and nod, "That's a relief. Good work, Moonlight. And it's good to meet you, Viviana." Merry says warmly. It appeared Moonlight gave Merry the full story and introduced Viviana in the process.
Glitter wandered over to the gate just in time to hear another newcomer calling into the village through the gate, deciding to amble calmly over to him, "Welcome. The people of this village would appreciate another pair of able hands to help with the damage. My name is Glitter. If you will follow me, I will take you to the village elder for proper introductions." he says through his short range telepathy, his golden horn glistening with magic power, his voice calm and in an odd sense, almost sagely.

James stood still, listening to the voice. "Oh! Uh, sure. That would be nice Glitter. You may call me James." He replied, walking through the gates of the village. He looked around seeing the destruction that the fires had brought with a single question in mind. Who, or what, did this? And why?
He contemplated the question as he walked through the gates. He decided to ask for any information that might lead him to answers. "So... Glitter, what exactly happened here? I couldn't see clearly from the mountain peak I had traveled from to get here and frankly I'm curious who would do such a thing and why." James asked with some respect, trying to piece together the events that he had saw from afar. It was a difficult matter to understand from seeing from such a distance.

"Wow...it's amazing how well you can understand her, even though you say that you're not her owner... I have to admit that I'm pretty jealous... I'm basically an owner of two sweet black mares, Caroline and Madeline; Caroline is the mother while Madeline is the baby, I've taken great care of them for many long years that they adore me so much." said Viviana
Viviana then gets off of Moonlight, nice and gently.
"Moonlight was amazing... I've never seen a Pegasus before in my whole life, and it was quite the exciting experience. She's so fast and strong, definitely above and beyond a normal horse. You also seemed quite amazing yourself...I don't know why, but just call it a hunch..." said Viviana as she looks around Wellspring, seeing some damages "Sure enough Master was right that this place got attacked...by zombies... I'm not scared, but I've never seen one before...probably for the best..."
Viviana soon sighs and shrugs off her slight fear, showing her calm radiance once more.
"So Merry, do you have other wonderful companions that travel along with you? Or is it just you and Moonlight? To me it's only me, the maid servant, and my Master, Viper Vermillion that you've already met, traveling around." said Viviana with a calm smile
