[QUOTE="howandwhy99, post: 2789181, member: 3192"] The night was getting late. Moving to their beds Darius set up a camp watch. The other caravan had already set one too, but the team made sure to have one of their own members awake at all times. During the first watch Diedre heard something flapping overhead. A flying creature swooped down over the fire. She could barely make it out. Remembering Darius going on and on about his mount she went and woke him. She told him she saw a creature with feathers and a head like a deer. “With antlers too!” Darius reached out for his mount, but it was still some distance away. As the watch were switched out, the flying creature swooped by every hour or so. Darius saw it himself during his own shift. . “Perhaps it is some sister to my mount?” he wondered. [b][DAY 102 – Fastday, Sceptre 5th, CY 81][/b] The next morning the sky was bright overhead far before the sun came over the mountains. A light breakfast was cooked during prayer and study. Before the team gathered to get under way Father Ben asked to check the power of the magic on the items Diedre read the day before. While the power coursed through him, Ben decided to check for magic on the new mercenaries as well. Miklesha and Gwenna had none. Hanz was nowhere to be found. “Where’s Hanz?” “Oh crap!” said Dalin. They had left him in the wagon overnight. Kayla raised the bed and found Hanz passed out underneath. Ben saw he had strong magic coming from one of his fingers. Oddly, nothing was there. He grasped Hanz’s hand and felt an invisible ring upon it. Carefully Ben removed it and the ring became visible. He promptly put it in his pocket. Darius came over and pulled him to one side asking if he could wear it. Father Ben took the ring one last time and hid it in his pack. It almost felt to him as if the ring were drawing attention to itself. Over by the wagon Hanz had been pulled out and gently woken up. “Ow…my head.” Dalin could see some of the man’s bruises had faded only to be replaced by new ones. They moved him onto Rose’s mattress in the back of the wagon bed. When the team mounted up they noticed a woman from the other caravan approach. Gwenna ran over to speak with him. “Ready to go?” asked the woman. “We’ll be under way shortly,” said Gwenna. “Do you have a stone from the Earl?” “Yes, but ours does not cover you…” Gwenna knew she was referring to the wagons. Then she recalled what Darius had told her earlier that morning. “Can we go before you? We are in a rush to get inside the Keep.” The other woman had no problem with it. [/QUOTE]
