//------------------------------// // City of Freedom // Story: Equine Impact: The Outlander Who Caught the Wind // by DecoGalileo //------------------------------// After some time, you and I are now standing in the entrance of a walled city, Hiersindwir. Full of windmills, houses, and goods. It's population wasn't too high nor too low. Its music had a peaceful rings from the bards to your ears. You can even see a detail of a statue of the god they worship. "Let me officially introduce the city of wind, dandelions, and freedom — Travelers under the protection of the Knights of Günstig — Welcome to Hiersindwir!" Sunset said. "Finally, no more having to camp outdoors!" I cheered. "But... the city folk don't look too cheery." "Everyone's been put out of place by Sturmterror recently. But everything will turn out fine as long as Night Glider's with us!" Sunset said. "Night Glider?" "Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Günstig — Night Glider, Defender of Hiersindwir. With Night Glider on our side, surely even the vicious Sturmterror will be no match for us." Sunset said. "Sounds like someone pretty impressive...I hope she knows something about the God of Anemo..." you thought. "Before I take you guys to the Knights of Günstig Headquarters, I have a present for you, Traveler." Sunset said. "It's a reward for helping me clear out that timberwolf camp." "He-Hey! Why doesn't Deco get a reward?!" I said. "Ahh... Because this reward is useless to you, Deco. But I'll treat you to a traditional Hiersindwir delicacy — Hiersindwirian Stick Honey Roast!" Sunset said. "Hiersindwirian Sticky Honey Roast!" I cheered. "Come with me, we'll head to the city's ahh...high ground." Sunset said, as she escorted you once more to the city's high ground. There were MANY steps on the way up. Sunset seems to be used in these, but you already have your toes in pain, and I am still joyful as I flew to the stairs. Finally, you, me, and Sunset stopped at the big statue you saw earlier when you arrived the city. "So, the present I want to give you is...a wind glider!" Sunset said, showing it to you. Outriders use them to ride the wind, and the people of Hiersindwir love using them too. I brought you here to give it to you so you can experience it right away!" "Oh, you're really excited about these wind gliders, huh!" I said. "Well that's because the wind is the heart and soul of Hiersindwir." Sunset said. "Alrighty then, enough talk! Let's give it a whirl! It's easy to use, but you still need to pay attention to my instructions." As Sunset carefully led you to a pillar, you walked slowly, and Sunset was on your expected destination. You jumped as you pulled the rope, unfolding the glider. You carefully glide down slowly, as the wind currents blew you to the fountain Sunset was in. Sunset clapped her hands as you landed. I landed after you.
