Aria was impressed beyond belief. Here in the middle of no where, a real life thunderbird flew. If it were attacking people she would be sad to kill the beast, but it was living in peace with the world. And it was such a beautiful creature. Aria was nearly lost in its beauty.
Lucas' question brought her out of her thoughts, she smiled but it was Nox who commented with a grin, "Hardly. No one's killing anything."
It was all he said before he turned and went back to the dog sleds.
Aria sighed and turned to Lucas, "I'm sorry about him."
Aria put a hand on Lucas' arm, "Come on, we should go, we still have a ways to go."
It wasn't long before Aria could see the new datsan in the horizon. It was being built on a different site. It was still being built 45 years later, they were using purely traditional methods of building the datsan. It was actually a pretty amazing feat of engineering if you thought about it. But it wasn't why they were here.
Their guide stopped them and spoke to Aria, "As far as I will take the dogs. It's a 5 mile hike that way." He pointed in the direction they needed to go. Aria took down the coordinates of their position and saved it for later. No point in getting lost later.
Aria nodded, "Thank you. We'll be back after we've done what needs doing."
He nodded and headed towards the construction site like he knew the place well.
Aria headed off in the direction they were told to go. There were no roads, the snow was deep and Aria's legs were tired by the time she was able to see the burnt husk of the old datsan on the crest of the next rise. Aria closed her eyes and opened her senses wide. It wasn't so much as distance she needed but in order to get anything out of the buildings she needed to feel everything.
Aria could feel Nox watching her, Lucas too. She opened her eyes and walked towards the burnt buildings. Lucas went to follow her and Nox grabbed his arm, "She needs us to stay back. She won't be able to feel anything if you stand on top of her. She's connected to both of us, you'll be all she feels. It won't give her any information."
Feelings rushed at her, it was powerful, like everything was stained with fear. As Aria walked through the burn remains she could feel red hot rage. It was all one sided, there was nothing of the one that caused the destruction. What had happened here was violent and hit happened quickly.
Aria wandered the datsan running her hands over the charred stone fragments, trying to find anything about the source of the destruction.
