Lost Amongst Lava (Open)

[Miranda Frost]

"Yeah.. lets go.", She said, turning and straddling her bike's leather seat, she revved its engine and sped off, spewing ash and dust behind her. She sighed internally and gripped her motorbike's handle bars. She had let her frustration out just a little, and it made her feel so foolish. Upon a recollection of his introduction, Zack only lightly described where he was from. He gave only names and occupations. The details were largely unknown. For all she knew he could have been through worse events than she. Further reflection noted that his near happy-go-lucky attitude dropped a few degrees after her introduction.

She looked back behind him, watching him catch up to her. He reminded her so much of his brother. They shared many characteristics such as their swordsmanship, the spikey black hair, and that positive attitude that always brought a smile on her face. In the end.. he was a completely different person. She chastised herself silently and slowed a bit, when the rocky surface they drove onto a road. The road wasn't in bad shape considering the environment they were in. If they were lucky it would lead to a town or some other settlement they could stay at for a short time and find work.

She waited for Zack to catch up and matched his speed. "This road seems to be in good condition. There may be a settlement at the end of it. What say you? Want to check it out?", she asked, her eye scanning ahead. Like fog, a heavy cloud of ash kept visual distance low.
