Step by step to Helio [Traveling, Reim/Heliohapt]

Like almost a typical day, Niala went about the morning like any other. She spent time at the inn with Ayero, a new friend she made in a strange land that was Riem. With the sun heating the world outside, she had said she would meet up with this Ayero another day. At least for now she had a new ally in Riem, a growing relationship of trust, being that she intervened in an attempted assault. After getting dressed and walking outside, she got the usual strange looks, but it didn't bother her, she was going today and nothing was stopping her.

Once she searched around for a little, in hopes of finding a good caravan heading that way, she would happen to bump into someone who she though she remembered from Heliohapt. To Niala's surprise, it wasn't her brother, maybe her mind was playing tricks on her, longing to see her real brother again one day. She had a friend she had to meet up with in Helio, and as she walked closer and closer to the edge of town she couldn't help the feeling she was going to be forced to walk, flying, or at least her form of it would draw too much attention.

Upon arriving to the edge of town, she still hadn't met anyone that happened to be heading that direction unfortunately. She covered herself well with her cloak, to protect her from the coming elements as much as possible. She continued further and further on foot, eventually coming to a rest beside a lonely tree, that for some reason reminded Niala of herself the longer she sat beside it. She didn't have any family alive that she of, and the only friend she made so far was a foreigner which land she was leaving. Fate could be really funny like that sometimes.

She eventually left that lonely tree, and start walking once again. After a while in the growing heat, Niala came to better understand why people wore the clothing they did in the desert. Walking from the foreign land into the arid heat again it was apparent. Covering the body to protect it from the sun, while keeping it loose to not overheat and allowing air to cool you off faster. It was silly, but it was one of those things that made Niala a little more confident in her choice of clothing, if it was ever that important of an issue to begin with.

Soon enough Niala arrived to her location, passing through the gates with people immediately wondering why the princess had suddenly left and is returning alone from the desert. It was sign if nothing else that people still cared, still thought of her, even if she wasn't the one on the throne... yet. She proceeded through the streets and up to the palace she called home for some time. It was refreshing the guards didn't magically forget about her, apparently the footprints she left couldn't be easily washed away, even by an imposter. This is just what she needed if she was going to win this battle, public opinion. Certainly no one had to die, right?
