x CASTIEL He descended from Heaven to explore the Free Lands earlier in the morning, wanting to spend some time in the mortal world today. It was now mid-day, the sun casting down its rays of light through wispy clouds as he began to climb a rocky path up toward the cliffs well known to be the meeting place of those aligned with darkness. His white wings were folded tightly against his sides, the feathers neat and smooth if a bit dusty from wandering the desert terrain for a few hours now. His hooves skillfully carried him up the path toward the cliff, though it was not the tallest cliff in the area. He was simply wandering, looking to gather information to bring back to Utopia to aid in the war. His conversation with Xerxes was still fresh in his mind, all those months ago, and the thought of the large Lord had Castiel's jaw twitching and clenching in aggravation. He hated the Lord of the Underworld and everything that he stood for. Darkness and danger and chaos. Evil things. Terrible things. All disguised as "Free Will." Being cruel did not make you free and it was disgusting that so many in the world, dead and alive, thought so. Finally reaching a plateau, Castiel shook himself free of some of the dust that had gathered upon his chestnut and ivory pelt. He stretched out his wings, fluttering them gently and then once again carefully folding them against his sides. He looked first to his left and then to his right, blue eyes scanning the terrain carefully. Friend or foe, there was found to be someone around this time of day. It was not yet late, was not getting dark, so he knew there would be plenty of equines feeling brave enough to wander the Free Lands even during the war. For whatever reason, the sunlight seemed to give them bravery.

Hearing the announcement that war had been declared by Utopia against the Underworld, Sinne found that she was not entirely sure what precisely to feel. On the one hand, she had felt a thrill upon hearing the news, eager to put to use the talents she had been honing under Sly's tutelage for the glory of the Helkaer. As an ambitious young huntress, bringing glory to herself certainly held an appeal, but as a spy she knew that was not something she could realistically be seeking. You could not be an elite spy and a well known spy. Reality simply did not work that way. Perhaps the time would come that her role would alter and she would become the kind of equine that everyone knew. Until that time, she would continue to hone and perfect her skills, while using them to benefit herself and the Helkaer.
Was there a part of her that was uncomfortable with the thought of the Afterlife being at war? Admittedly... a bit. Up until now, focused as she had been on her training and honing skills and using them to benefit Sly, herself, and the Helkaer... the Afterlife had not been something she had put much thought into. Of course she knew that it existed, though from what she had learned, it seemed that the entities of the Afterlife were far more active these days than they once had been in years past. Why that was the case, Sinne had yet to learn, but surely there had to be a reason. And what of the powers they possessed? Sinne had to admit that there was something a tad unnerving in the fact that she actually knew very little about what denizens of the Afterlife were capable of. And she did not quite trust even their allies enough to inquire about information. Unfortunately, there was no way to really spy out this information with any certainty of truthfully informative results.
Which was frustrating to say the least.
Wanting to know, wanting to be sure that she would get the truth when she asked... perhaps that was why she had taken the initiative to visit a place like Trembling Shadows to ensure that, if any Cambions dwelt in their ranks, they too were aware of Lord Xerxes' offer. While she knew that many were active in ascertaining the status of Cambions living in other alliances, it had occurred to her how easily those within the Dark Alliance itself could slip through the cracks and go unnoticed. And while herd leaders of the Dark herds had declared themselves for the Underworld -- at least, from what she understood, that was the case -- the same was not necessarily true of every member of their herd. Fortunately, Azriel had been accommodating, rather than being offended as she might have anticipated. Would others be similar? Sinne did not know, but at least for today, she would not concern herself with that question.
Instead, she had ventured out to the Free Lands to poke about and see what information she might discover. Thus far, she had not come across anything of particular interest, but that did not surprise her. Sometimes you learned something and sometimes such trips were fruitless. She had just started across an area of Kunipar Cliffs when unusual movement captured her attention. It was not so much the shaking of dust from pelt that caught her attention, but the movement of the stranger's wings.
For a moment, given her lack of knowledge when it came to certainty about what such entities were capable of, Sinne considered avoidance. Except that such a notion rankled her pride deeply. Which meant she found herself casually meandering vaguely in the direction of the winged being instead. Not precisely a direct approach, allowing him to accost her if he so chose, giving every appearance in her behaviour that she had not yet noticed him.

x CASTIEL Dust particles from his shaking floated through the air as the white winged angel began to move forward. At first, he did not see much of anything or anyone. Kunipar Cliffs seemed, for the moment, to be empty. The angel was not sure if that was a good or a bad thing, given that he was trying to find some information to bring back to Rasa and Cadence. However, maybe it would be information enough to tell that the Free Lands, or at least the Cliffs, were free of angst and dramatics. For the moment, at least. Who knows, maybe there was someone watching him from a distance that he hadn't spotted yet, waiting for the opportunity to jump at him. He hoped that was not the case. Nevertheless, Castiel walked forward at a lumbering, lazy pace, his wings ruffling just slightly against his dual painted sides. Much to his surprise, it was not much time after he began walking that another equine appeared, walking in his general direction but not really acknowledging him. Perhaps she had not seen him. Cautious but still keeping it friendly, Castiel nickered at the stranger and gave a polite dip of his head, though his blue eyes did not dare leave her figure. He would not put himself at that much of a risk, to take his eyes off a stranger in times of war. "Hello there," he spoke, keeping his tones polite but not quite warm as they would be, under different circumstances. "Enjoying a day at the cliffs? The sun is rather bright here. I imagine it gets very hot here, especially in the summertime."Indi w/ Sinne 273 | Profilenotes 8 years 5 months, early fall, mid-day, before his thread with Everest
