Classic 3.0

[deadestdai]

The group stop for the night, once more finding shelter in an abandoned house, this one seeming to have escapred the torch the others had fallen to.

The group sleeps with out issues, and the watch sees nothing that forces them to wake the others. By morning, every thing seemed to be normal once more. The question was now, should they finally head north now, or continue east.

Brechin takes it upon himself to tend to the putting out of the fire. Whilst he worked over the ashes, he felt purturbed as to how the young Princess now saw him and how he could change her opinion of him and his deeds back to a more favourable kind. He was not being concieted, quite the opposite infact - he just wanted her to realise he was as far apart from those that would harm her as any man could be. That his actions were those of a man who strode to fight against evil and to protect those who could not fight back. He did not carry out these actions for his own means, he did them because it was "right".

He allowed his thoughts to drift back to the present and turned to the others. I feel we should have ridden ahead of our pursuers enough now that we may continue on our previous course in relative safety. What say the rest of you?

Veitus, from the night before, had a dream that continuing north was a good idea. He had a vision that if they traveled further east, the group would run foul with a group of hill giants and ogres sent by Drocus.

OOC: (hmmm. would it be plausible that they would have to cross the territory guarded by Aenilan's people?)

Aenilan nods briefly as Vientus. "I think we should heed the dwarf's dream. Haste now is our ally. Our enemy knows that something thwarts it and knows that someone is protecting the princess."

She looked at the princess, who was vailently trying to hide her fear. "Little one, it is no shame to be afraid. Everyone feels afraid sometimes. The mark of a coward is one who lets the fear control him. The mark of the brave is one who goes on despite the fear." she grinned lopsidedly. "We are all scared to death about this. At least, I am." she admitted.

The princess smiles at the group and, sitting straight says, "I wanted to appologize for my hurtful words that I spoke to you follwoing our... encounter. I'm trully sorry and wish to ask your forgivness. If there is any way that I can make up for them, let me know." The princess bows her head in sorrow.

OOC: No, you'll be passing just to the east of it... and I mean RIGHT to the east of it. If you traveled the northern road for 2 days at your present speed, the forest that your people call home will be in plain sight, which marks the border. It would be only a days ride out of your way to see them at that point: half a day there and a half a day back.

Aenilan looks thoughtful as they ponder their choices, knowing they are very close to her home. In less than three days time, they would be within plain view of her people's lands.

She coughed, catching Brechin's attention. "Brechin. My people's lands are within two or three days travel down the northern road. It would be only a day's travel out of our way to reach the forest boarder. If we go through them, it would be far safer for the princess. And perhaps my parents might know of this Drocous, whoever he, she or it might be."

Quick ooc for group: Will try to get post up this afternoon at nap time..thought I could get all caught up, but the baby just came blazing in here..

Vietus dreaming eh? SCHWEET!!!

 

[kirinke]

Aenilan shivers with a sudden, nasty thought. This Drocus could be looking for both Jackleen and her. After all, her parents did rule the blue ridge mountains and a large portion of the fog-forests bordering Galadin. If Drocus was smart enough to kill Jackleen and leave enough 'evidence' implicating her own people, it could devolve into war. She shivered again. If Drocus was truly clever, he would also kill her and leave enough evidence to implicate Galadin. That would be disasterous as well.

 

[Mithreander]

OOC: Sweet idea! Thanks!

*OOC: Evil aren't I? especially with my own character. Whoot! I figure Aenilan isn't going to broadcast her um problimatic heritage until she absolutely has too. I mean, in and around Galadin and the Blue ridge, it is a common practice for the elves to send their younglings off packing in order to get them practical experience and whatever. That includes the nobles as well. That's why they aren't as haughty or 'better than thou' as in other places.*

Brechin thought over the elven girl's words. The added protection would be "rather handy".....

He nodded. Lead on. And he reined in next to the Princess. Highness, We will see you safe, I promise.
