Vaulkhar sat aboard his shuttle as it descended from the skies, piloting it to a simple landing on the outskirts of one of the various villages. For whatever reason, this very village was located aside a volcano, that was threatening to erupt within the coming hours. His mission was a simple one, help defend the villagers and evacuate them if necessary, to save their lives. It was likely a front, purely to show these villagers that the Cult were not necessarily evil, just people who wished to claim the planet. Helping these villagers would help gain their acceptance of the Covenant, etc. So here he was, landing only a few dozen meters away from an active volcano, to help people he'll likely never see again. What a beautiful way to spend dominating a planet.
The ram of his shuttle slowly lowered, allowing Vaulkhar to exit the shuttle and move towards the village. At this point, other villages were likely being evacuated, or at least aided in their protection. This was the last village Vaulkhar had wanted to go to, considering the population was several hundred, which was way too many to ferry to safety, and their village was rather large. In the case of a volcanic eruption, he could only hope so save so many. The village would likely fall, along with many of the villagers. But in reality, these lives didn't matter to him.
As he approached the village, the elder came out, flanked by two guardians. The guardians were young men and quivering, likely new to this position and afraid of the man who emitted malice that approached them.
"Greetings Elder, I am Vaulkhar. I come as a representative of the Covenant of the Black Rose to aid in the protection of your village. The nearby volcano has been emitting high amounts of seismic activity and will likely erupt. As such, we need to evacuate immediately."
"It is a pleasure, Vaulkhar. I am Elder Marlo. We have begun our evacuation. The children and elderly have begun their march to the north, away from the volcano." The elder raised his arm and pointed north, which was the exact opposite direction of the active volcano. "Then men and women are currently gathering as much as can be carried and loading them into wagons. We'll be ready to move within the hour."
Vaulkhar was most certainly impressed. He expected to come across savages who would require his saving, and yet a majority of them were already gone and going to safety. The well constructed wagons, being pulled by all manner of domesticated animals, were also being loaded to vacate soon. This mission turned into something relatively easy, after being relatively difficult rather early on. What a manner of good fortune. Vaulkhar began to simply oversee the evacuation, aiding in moving valuables, foods, and all sorts of various objects onto the carts. After nearly an hour of labor, the wagons set off, going down a path that appeared to lead through an field of... geysers?
This was not good. Upon this field they'd be sitting ducks to both the geysers and all manner of beasts.
"And the fortune turns bad once more." He grumbles to himself whilst hopping aboard the lead wagon. He stood atop the carriage of the Elder, keeping his gaze upon the environment.
