He hadn't even been travelling for an hour when the sky began to bludgeon the dry landscape with rain. The man picked up the pace as he was hammered by the rain that stung his skin. To add peril to the abuse he was forced to take, visibility was reduced to near zero levels. He could only see a few steps in front of him, a timeframe so short, he didn't notice the he was heading for the edge of a cliff until it was too late.
She had been lucky to find shelter when she did. She knew far too well from experience how dangerous travel can be when it began to storm. Visibility goes to hell, you become disoriented and the rain pelting your body hurts like hell.
She lit a fire in the middle of the cave for warmth and light. Though she was only out in the rain for a moment or two, she was drenched from head to toe. In weather like this, it is far too easy to catch sickness, so easy in fact, that if you weren't careful you could easily die.
She laid her bag by the fire to dry it off and began to undress, she would have to dry off and get warm before sickness set in.
Her clothes were now laid out, drying by the fire as her, herself tried to get warm. She was in her underwear, still dripping though the fire was helping if only slightly. At Five Foot Five, she stood by the fire, water dripping from her pale blue hair.
Her name was Coriana, she was a fighter, she had to in order to survive in this wasteland. This land was called Pulse, it lived in the shadow of Cocoon, which was essentially a shell that sustained life. During the recent invasion of Cocoon by Pulse monsters she was on the escape shuttle which ironically evacuated to Pulse in fear that Cocoon would be destroyed. However, in the end the Six great L'Cie Saved Cocoon from utter destruction. Those who managed to make it to Pulse Have been unable to make it back home, so they instead made Pulse their new home. It is a dangerous land but you got strong fast.
The storm outside raged on outside as Coriana Set down to sleep. A few hours passed before she could actually sleep. She kept thinking about a campsite she had passed by on her travels. She hoped that whoever had set that camp up had found shelter like her.
'If they went the wrong way..' she couldn't imagine the peril they could be in.
Somewhere in the distance a lone traveler stumbles upon a body lying face down at the bot'tom of a cliff
