![]() She hadn’t planned to of course, she had wanted to go another way, but the other way around involved getting a boat and despite the supposed safety of the sea, travelling near the waters of the Pale city was inviting disaster. ![]() Though she didn’t enjoy having to travel so close to the city. The path in question was one that Six hoped would take her to the more Western side of the world, she had travelled the Eastern side for the past few years and as such exploring the other side made sense. Taking one last distasteful glance at the city in the distance, Six began to walk down the forest path that she had followed for the past hour. It was a constant source of danger to be sure, but Six was never one to settle, that brought about a sense of complacency that set a person up for disaster. ![]() She shook her head as memories boiled up, it wasn’t worth thinking about.ħ years of travelling the world, moving from place to place, never settling in one area for too long before moving onto the next. The city was full of dangers and that was why she chose to leave all that time ago. The running, the screaming, the constant threat of danger around every corner and the brief moments of safety and the presence of a warm body next to her. It had been a long time since then, yet it still rung in her mind like it was just yesterday. The horrible sound that it produced was like nothing she had ever heard before, a constant low ringing sound with a horrible undertone that could only be described as screaming that constantly rung in one's ears, with only the safety of the buildings in the city offering reprieve from the horrendous sound. Her face pulled back into a grimace, she wasn’t even near it and yet she still felt like the Broadcast it put out was ringing in her ears. It stood just like she remembered it, towering over every single building in the city, the tip of it breaching the clouds and creating a storm that consumed the whole city. Her eyes wandered to the thing that stood at the center of the city, the thing that brought ruination to all and created monsters from the darkest corners of one's mind. There was at least a couple of miles between her and it, yet she still felt like it wasn’t enough to separate her from the feeling of dread and fear she felt towards the city of static. The numerous buildings and blocks that made it up could be seen all the way up from where she stood. It was so far off in the distance, yet appeared so large and threatening as always, the trees and hills that stood in the way not offering any solace in blocking what she and many others would consider a blemish, a cancer on the world. It had been a while since she had been here, hadn’t it?
