Well, first things first, then. The place looked mostly empty, but Sigrun might as well poke around and see what she could find. She headed up the stairs and inside the slightly open great doors.

At the sight of the sheer size of the castle's great hall, she had to stop and whistle.

"If this is another one of those wacky Warden dreams," she said to herself, "it sure seems real." She rapped experimentally on the closest stone wall, and made a face as she nearly bruised her knuckles. "And that looks like the Inquisition heraldry, I thiink," she inspected the banners. "Sure close to what was on that letter the Commander got." Her voice bounced back at her from the wide empty hall, and she grimaced. "And now I'm talking to myself in a ghost castle that may or may not be a certain mountain stronghold thousands of miles away that I've never seen. Greeeaat. Maybe Nate's not the crazy one."

Moving further into the hall, she chose a door at random, the first one on her right, and made her way into a large rotunda. She stopped to admire the frescoes there and glance over the books on the table in the middle of the room.

"Fade shit, Fade shit, elves..." she muttered in a much quieter tone than before as she skimmed the titles. "Well that's not ominous at all."

Taking another path at random, she climbed the stairs upwards and found herself in what appeared to be a library.

Some time passed until Neria had everything written down. She stared the door on the other side of the room and strode, openeing it. Down the stairs was the stable and Jäger, sleeping near a pile of hay.

"Oh, that old beast. Already sleeping."

[sigrun_fadewalk]

Sigrun grabbed the basket of food and followed Neria, peering around her at Jager. She chuckled.

"Of course he is."

[heromiyuu]

"It seems like it's a good place, though. He has this great ability to find the quiet spots."

Neria went downstairs, crossing the yard and sitting by Jägers side. The old mabari hound waved his tail briefly and went back to his snoring shortly after.

"Seems like no one have been here yet. Well, not that a horseless stable is worth much attention."

[sigrun_fadewalk]

Sigrun looked about before coming to sit on Jager's other side. She patted the Mabari and hmmed thoughtfully.

"Seems like it might be a nice, peaceful place to spend time, normally. Bit odd to have all the scent of horse and no actual horses, though." She shuddered. "This place. Did I mention it was creepy?"

[heromiyuu]

"Once or twice, yes." she observed

Neria placed some rocks in a circle and used hay to start a small campfire outside the stables, approaching her hands to the flames to warm them; the orange fire was pleasant, especially with the black and blue sky above them.

"I was the first person you encountered here, Sigrun?"

[sigrun_fadewalk]

Sigrun grinned and nodded.

"Yeah, you and now Jager here." She patted the Mabari affectionately and then pulled the basket of food she had packed into her lap. She broke the loaf of bread in half between her hands and held out a portion to Neria.

[heromiyuu]

"Thank you." she accepted the bread and took a bite, only now noticing how hungry she was "If this journal is to be trusted, this place is full of guests, including some people that seems to have come from another reality entirely and I'm not talking of some hypothetical world where, I don't know, nugs rules us all. They're so different from us I don't even know how to put it in words. This discarts it as a Theodosian problem."

Jäger whined, worried.

[sigrun_fadewalk]

Sigrun doled out the rest of the food between the two of them, and then took her journal out from her belt again and thumbed through it as she bit into a pear.

"That is a good point," she said. "These others sound...I don't know, like nothing I've ever heard of."

[heromiyuu]

"I knew Eluvians and the Ancient Elven Magic were powerful things, but not that powerful, not enough to complete disrupt the fabric of existance."

She took another bite of bread.

"Let's eat and go see this Eluvian. I wonder what shattered it."

[sigrun_fadewalk]

Sigrun nodded, then spread her hands and offered up a shrug. The wrinkle of her nose and scrunched brows all combined to form a 'who the fuck knows' sort of expression, which Sigrun seemed to think sufficed to convey, once again, how befuddling she found the whole situation.

[heromiyuu]

"It's impressive how you can translate the whole sittuation so well, Sigrun dear."

Neria laughed.

"Let's move."

(ooc: I suggest we finish this thread here and pass to the new one, including Dagna)

[sigrun_fadewalk]

Sigrun grinned widely, giving a modest shrug.

"It's all gone tits over ass if you ask me," she said, through a quiet chuckle, as she prepared to follow Neria.

(OOC: Sounds perfect!)
