But she couldn't stand actually going anywhere near them. The press of people, the gaudiness of the golden architecture, the constant humm of essence and artifacts -- all of it drove her mad. The part of the world she treasured was more fleeting, that tiny strip that still benefited from the cities while being distinct and apart from them. There were a few such places that she found during her explorations, those times when she snuck out of the gaze of her well meaning parents and explored the world as a mortal instead of an heiress. One of these was a little station along the rail-line out of the Prefecture -- the stopoff for the district, a point of civilization in the otherwise virtually uninhabited area. No one in the Deliberative wanted to build in the area since the Wyldhand disaster, other than her fathers projects of course, and so it got to keep it's flavor. It was part of what she always though of as the real world -- a realm of isolated charm without any of that barbarism or scrabbling for food. It was also convenient for avoiding her parents over-protectiveness, letting her fly the airship into a port "befitting her status" and then just grab the first train to her real destination.

Behind her, the train's quiet humm carried through the air as it rested in the station, recharging it's essence gems as it took on and deposited passengers. She started off quickly, her armor in her pack and her sword hidden in Elsewhere -- civilian clothes replacing her artifact finery. The stop had changed little since her last visit here, but she still had to pause to orient herself after so many months away. Her eyes swept over the ramshackle little buildings on stilts as the gentle lake air blew over her, the dragonblood taking a deep whiff of the scents of the lake and forest all around, grinning as she started off. A quick, hobbling course took her through the little station, half run and half hop, until the came upon the building she sought. One of the few houses built near the stop, a square structure nestled in between the distinctive cross shaped terminal buildings. Outside,
