Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sami nodded. "Understood." She finished her meal then laid down where she was. She realized how tirering the climb down was and was asleep shortly.


((Sorry. Don't know about you, but the day should end soon))

((Dunno, I woulda liked a plot twist. But I'd only suggest doing it if you didn't mind that I won't be on every day anymore until I fixed my computer monitor. sweatdrop I will be able to get on at least Tuesday and Friday, as long as my mom isnt home and her computer is working. I may be able to get on more than that.))

Kade yawned, taking one glance around and saw no other fires or animals. Grinning, he muttered a happy, "Good night!" before falling asleep.

Star was immediately fast asleep. One hand rested on her stomach and the other was behind her head. She slept soundly and peacefully.

Mitsuki sat back up while everyone else went to sleep, and looked around. Sighing she stood and stretched herself. It would be quite a long night. Almost inaudibly she sang a small song that her mom sang about places like Cinora and Samund to her as a child. Mitsuki couldn't help but smirk. The songs were so silly, talking about ice wolves and other stories about the more dangerous places of the area.

((Hm... Well, I'm afraid I'd keep you guys waiting. And by the time I have the time, I'll probably forget the plot twist in mind XD
It's no problem, I hope I get my monitor fixed too.))

Walking past the group of villagers, they entered Samund through a large gate.
Leading the group to the marketplace, Vincent turned around.
“Alright, we made it safely to Samund. I’ll head to the docks and learn when our ship leaves. Meanwhile, feel free to explore Samund. I guess the ship will leave this evening to avoid any pirates. We will meet at the tavern, The Drunken Dwarf.”

“The Drunken Dwarf? Not a very original name.” Alexander commented quietly, “So, we are to walk around and pass time till you know more?” You could clearly hear Alexander was already bored with the idea of walking around town.

“No, you are to pass time until our ship sets sail.” Vincent corrected him. It wasn’t his intention to linger here any longer. The sooner they got to Cinora the faster they could focus on their task.

"Hmph." Mitsuki shoved her hands in her pockets and stalked off towards the tavern, uninterested with roaming for the time being. She yawned once merely out of boredom, and shrugged past villagers as she walked toward the tavern.

-

Star glanced around, slightly overwhelmed by the many people. She hadn't been amongst such a large crowd since she was very young.

"We'll be at the tavern!" Kane bounded off after Mitsuki toward the tavern after he called to the others. He felt that it would be the best place to hang around, just in case anything were to happen. It would be too troublesome to make Vincent roam the village if there were a change of plans.

-

Star looked to Alexander, wondering what he was thinking about. No doubt helping the villagers. But would the knights approve of this? She wasn't sure. As long as they didn't use their magic and announce that they were in the Shendai Order, everything should have been alright...

-

Mitsuki sat at a table in the tavern, drinking a cold glass of clear water while waiting for any news of the ship they would board on their way to Cinora. There wasn't much else to do, but she had the same ideas as Kade. And if something else were to go wrong, the two knights would hang out there so they could all gather and know someone was there.

Walking up to one of the villagers, he looked at the man’s injured arm.
“What happened to you?” He asked. The wound was rapped with some piece of cloth and was poorly treated.
“Wolves! As big as two men! Eyes so cold!” His voice changed from shouted to whispering. It seemed he hasn’t come to his senses.
“Leave him alone!” A woman who was looking after her children walked next to the man, holding his head and patting it to reassure him.
“The wolves are gone, we are safe now.” It seemed the man was disoriented and still believed he was hiding from the wolves.
“Go to sleep and I’ll see if I can find a doctor or a healer.” Let the man rest, she turned to Alexander, “Can’t you see we have been trough a lot?”
“Yes and it wasn’t my intention to disturb him.” Alexander tried to explain his true intentions, “I want to know what exactly happened to you all.”
The woman stood silent. It seemed she didn’t want to talk about it, but seeing Alexander’s intentions were true, she told him.
“Wolves, Ice Wolves. They attack our villages last night. Normally they didn’t even leave the mountains, but now they even attacked a village. Not just ours, but a few.” It seemed she knew the Wolves pretty well, “My father was a hunter and he taught me about them. The Wolves don’t bother with Humans unless they invaded their territory. But they attack us. We didn’t do anything wrong.” From that point it was to hard to continue and she quickly walked away.
Looking over at all the villagers, Alexander would find out what happened.
‘Why did the Ice Wolves attack them? Turning around, Alexander saw Star.
“Hey, do you know anything about the Ice Wolves?” Alexander came from Licia and never travelled this far to the north. He had no knowledge of any creatures in these regions.



Walking from one dock to the next, a ship caught his eye.
“The Siren’s Tears, glad to see you survived.” Vincent smiled to see it in the exact same shape as before the war.
“Can I help you?” An old man with a long beard had seen Vincent’s interest in the ship.
“You can if this is your ship.” Vincent replied.
“It is, but I’m not certain if I can be of any help.” The captain walked on and wouldn’t deal with Vincent.
“My friends and I are looking for a ship to take us to Cinora. Before the war you often took travellers across, I was hoping that offer is still open.”
“The war has changed many things, lad, one of them is the trust amongst people. Who’s to say you’re not a pirate, who will murder me in my sleep and take my ship.” Taking a good look at Vincent, he quickly saw the error in his judgement, “Well, if you want across, it’ll ost you. And you’ll be bringing your own food!”
“I will have to talk this over with my friends. When do you leave?”
“Early in the morning, before the pirates are awake.”
“The I shall return tomorrow with the pay and my friends.” Vincent had barely any gold to pay for all six, plus they needed some gold to stay a night at the inn. To look for another ship came to mind, but most captain would demand a pay. The war did change a lot.
