That young man was Ikazuchi who had recently left the depths of the Worth Woodsea after a fortunate encounter. He didn’t have a particular destination in mind as he flew, but he was intent on seeking out a village to interact with other people after so long. He was constantly on the lookout for any visible clearings or signs of life like smoke that would indicate the presence of other people. This would continue on for a couple of hours due to the sheer size of the Worth Woodsea.
Ikazuchi finally encountered someone on his journey, but they were unfortunately someone similar to himself. The man was a guarded individual, but after seeing the young man swoop in while mounted on a wyvern he was still willing to answer a few of Ikazuchi’s questions in order to avoid trouble. The information offered was mostly useless, but he did learn that there was a village no more than an hour away by foot. What Ikazuchi didn’t know was that the man he encountered was a particularly petty individual who neglected to mention the current state of affairs and tense atmosphere due to this village’s relationship with another.
Ikazuchi wasn’t aware of that as he rushed off on his mount towards the indicated direction happily, what would be waiting for him when he arrived would be a clash between the current leaders of this village and a neighboring one over the rights to a certain territory and trade between the two.
