Siren Calls a Storm [Kou to Meridia/Travel]

Ocean waves splashed along the shoreline of the city. Trently smiled wide upon the dawn of this brand new day, his bright grin never ceasing to be. It had been quite a fair while from the last he traveled out of Kou now. It had felt a bit boring to be at his desk the majority of days. Alas, Trently had chose his life, one of business. It was not only one of trade and commerce however, but one of occasional trips for said business he made. Having no longer been the rookie mercenary he once was, nor the rather hopeful upstart as he was before, Trently found himself quite occupied with work. It was partially why he had not yet fully realized Furcas' kingly power. If he could perhaps receive time alone, he may be able to tap into his vessel at long last to be one with Furcas.

It had seemed Trently could have some leisure with his coming business trip, but he could not just dawdle on his vacation. Trently had to attend a banquet of a newly crowned Queen of a nation that has risen to the world stage rather swiftly. Its name was none other than Meridia, an upstart Empire that consisted of a rather large collection of tribes under a central government which tribes of the south east plains trusted to protect the land and people.

If the hot news of Meridia is true, perhaps Trently could have a nearby nation to begin commerce with. It could be beneficial to his plan for the coming expedition. Once he packed his bags, and whatnot, Trently were to depart from a port of a bustling city of Kou that was kissing the south east region. It were to not be a very long journey whatsoever for Meridia, due to his proximity by sea with Meridia. It was a far more shorter journey to the capital of Meridia than the capital of Kou which was out within the far east of the Empire.

Trently could visit Meridia frequently if he could benefit from the commerce and nation itself. However, he had to see the nation for himself. It was about a week or two he was on a vessel gliding across the cobalt blue sea before he could finally step foot onto the land of the Meridian Empire. None other than the famed Guaiwu with him, his muscle bound General of an obscure Fanalis heritage, Trently and his friend disembarked from a long voyage.

Trently: "Meridia, you say? What do you say, Guaiwu, my friend, shall we have an adventure here, similar to before?"

Inquired young Trently, his arms crossed as his smile beamed a radiant shine.

Guaiwu: "I say let us. If the news we received rings true, we may find much here that could benefit us. If we are to forge your dream, then here may be a nice nation to try and establish relations with others, and partners for the expedition."

Stated the man as he lied his eyes unto the diverse Meridian city of Siren.
