Jhann nodded at Talyc. "I can admire that. I one day hope to bring peace to my people too. Perhaps my third question can wait a while." He smiled.
He once more looked at Taya. "I'm sorry for your loss. My sister may still be alive and for that, I am thankful. However, I have not seen her for weeks now without word. Worry grips my soul over her fate, I dare not think too much about what might have happened." His smile half-faded. "Pay no heed to those that ran. This is a strange land to them and many of my people have only heard stories of the Tørstårians. Our scriptures...are not kind for the most part. The more time we spend together, the more my men will come to accept you."
He looked at the men, who were listening to the music. "I believe your music is bridging much of that gap."

Marzia 'I don't want to be alone'
A small white bird perched on a rock not far from it's nest to gather its energy to continue its flight. From a distance behind another rock, Marzia watched it, crouched down, ready to strike when she saw the chance. "I'm fed up of stealing food and getting ouchies, it's time to try and get my own food" she said, full of confidence. Marzia placed her hand on the soft ground, and from some sand, she created a knife with razor sharp blade.
The bird had already seen Marzia, she was not aware that they had such good hearing. Before she even stepped foot out from hiding, she started to shout almost a pathetic battle cry, 'HIYAAAAAAAAA!!!!" she shouted, and before she could even start running to catch the bird, it had already flown away by the sheer sound of her voice.
"Aw man! I was so close that time!" Marzia said sheepishly, scratching her head. "I don't understand why it wasn't paralyzed by my shout?! That's the third time today!" she added, feeling a bit less confident than before. She stood for a second in the wide open, forgetting where she was and thought intently about how she could change her approach.
"Ah-ha!" Marzia had a lightbulb moment, and she put her hand infront of her and made a peace sign as if she had been victorious in something. "I've got it! Maybe next time, I'll try to act like a bird to fit in with the bird... and when I see the chance, strike!!" she said, swiping with her knife, she cut her finger and dropped it instantly, letting out a small wail. "Ouch! my pinky finger!" she said, a few tears coming out. As soon as the knife hit the ground, it became sand again. Marzia looked around her, planning her next destination and where she wanted to go. The young girl sped off, thinking of a place she could better find some food, and quickly.

The fierce looking dragon man walked off with the feline. They seemed to be mates as many Tørstårians called their partnerships. Well, maybe they were just friends, but they seemed like a good match to Narx. The Elden had seen that Narx knew of him and seemed to not want such attention. Narx was there too with someone undercover so he would try not to harm any of the many covert endeavors taking place."I apologize for my rudeness, I have yet to introduce myself. I am Narx Ap Vrathel! Proud Slave of Lady Elowyn."He had never been so happy to be a slave other than to his current master. Naiøria had set him free in the oddest of ways it would seem. Just after his grandiose introduction none other than Lady Elowyn herself appeared! She must have been searching for him as well. Narx immediately fell to his knee and apologized to her for her efforts to find him. "You did not keeo me waiting at all my Lady! It twas I, who kept you waiting I am afraid. I am sorry my Lady, but I was rushed off by a bunch of Skagdwellers. I am glad to see you are safe! Come sit by this fire and warm yourself!" Narx moved aside to make room for her in this group of travelers. He was looking forward to getting to know each and every one of them, but he saw something in the distance. Something that didn't sit well with him. There was a small group of travelers just off in the distance. They seemed to be searching for something. He hoped they were not those arena-pushing, skagdwellers from earlier.

SKYGRA AMAZI
Skygra pulled out her leather canteen hastily and drank a few gulps of water. The sun was strong and the realm hot. Ervvin and Marzia had been quiet throughout their journey, but now the three of them had entered the Skaglands, where their bounty, Narx, was suspected to be.
"I would be wary if I were you two, she said abruptly. "Our mark could be anywhere here. We need to find out more information about him in order to identify him...Errvin--you were awake in that pub earlier...did you inquire subtly I hope?"
Sky noticed Marzia cringe slightly, as if she had been here before.
"Listen, Marzia. We're getting close to our mission's target. Don't get in the way if you'll get hurt." Skygra looked into the big blue eyes of this young girl and saw herself--naive, innocent, scared. Yet there was something about her that was intriguing that reminded Skygra of her current self: potential. She saw strength in this feeble girl, but her innocence would have to be tainted first before a true change could possibly happen in her thoughts and actions...Just like Growlithe said to her years before...
She was thinking about her master, who silently stole her from the orphanage for a bounty himself, but couldn't bear to kill an innocent child. He saw her, not as a monster or hybrid beast, but as a young girl...with potential. Skygra realized she could be a mentor for Marzia as well...would she make a good assassin? Did Sky really want to make her part of this chaotic and grotesque world that she called survival?
All of these questions rushed through Skygra's head as she walked, waiting for someone else to break their silence...

Marzia 'I don't want to be alone'
Marzia got a little bit hot as the sun beated down on the group. She couldn't take her coat off, or she could potentially expose her arm and her new companions wouldn't like her anymore... or so that's what she thought.
Marzia stopped and listened to Sky warning them, she knew this was probably more aimed at her, which made her sigh. Marzia didn't like feeling like the burden of the group, but she was. "I won't get in the way, I promise!" she said, smiling at Sky, she could see Sky was looking intently at her. "Do I have something on me?" she asked.
Marzia stopped and looked around them, she placed her augmented hand on the sand and closed her eyes, a small sword appearing from the ground. She looked at it and then looked at her new companions, a bit of an overconfident smirk crept on her face. "I will protect you both this time, you'll see!!" she said, waving the sword around with no skill, but potential. She realised that her new friends wouldn't have seen her powers yet, and chuckled sheepishly, scratching her head as she looked at the sword. "So.. uhh.. I can do things like that.. but I'm still learning!" she added, a bit nervous of what her new friends would think.

"I'm afraid not, traveller. We have not noticed anyone pass by until yourself."
He noticed the stranger freeze as he saw him. Panic set in as he realised he had been recognised. That damned tattoo!
"It...uh, it is getting late, however. Perhaps she is not far?" He turned his head slightly away from the stranger in a vain hope it would hide his face.

"Even when unarmed, I am always on guard so no worries." He was basking in the sun of the wastelands. This would be room temperature to him compared to most people. Though granted the cold is always better.
"There was no information on OUR bounty that would be needed for this task; mostly political complaints and why they hate Naiøria."
People Who Are Close To Death Do Their Best To Enjoy Every Single Day Of Their Short Life
It had been quite an eventful day, between the companions they had made, the journey to the City of Twelve, and the tornament. Elowyn had watched Marc compete from the sidelines, though the outcome was not quite as she expected. Three-way ties were pretty rare. After the battle had ended, Elowyn had attempted to make her way to Narx, but they had gotten separated in the crowd. He seemed to have obtained several new fans. It also seemed that they kept getting separated. After all, this was the second time she had to wonder around looking for him.
Elowyn didn't really mind, she didn't view Narx as her property and so he pretty much had free reign. She only worried because he had an abnormal tendency to find trouble wherever he went. The thought of it brought a small smile to the female Elf's lips. She also worried because he tended to worry when they were separated for too long. Elowyn didn't want him to stress himself out unnessecarily.
After traveling through the skaglands for several hours, a group of silhouettes appeared in the distance. She approached cautiously, for the travelers of the Skaglands were not always friendly. There was also the chance that they were Torstarians. As she came closer The silhouettes became clearer and she was soon to make out Narx. She relaxes slightly, but remained caustious just in case.
"Narx, I see you are making friends as always." There was a note of fondness in her voice. Her bluish-green gaze swept over the group of travelers, noting each one--the Dragonborn, the feline, and the antlered man. Despite the odd collection, there seemed to be no hostility. The feline woman was even playing soothing music on her harp.
Her eyes finally landing on Jhann Elenae, the Elden Prince. Though she contained royal blood herself, It was much too distant. In away she was disposable and therefore fit for a dangerous job, such as Emissionary to the Skaglands. However, this is not a place she expected to see him. However, she kept her surprise to herself. She had become rather good at controlling her facial expressions. Rather she just gave him a respecful nod before turning her eyes back to Narx. "I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long."
Taya soon stops playing as someone walks over to them, she stopped playing as the conversation happened. Her hands started to shake, she hated to feel afraid of new people but then a few minutes later a woman shown up now her heart started to beat faster then she stood up,"E-Excuse me.." she had to leave before it gets worse.
She walked away a good feet until she fell to her knees then she took shallow breathes then she thought,'Taya..calm down..they are not like him..' she shakes her head as she puts her hood back on then her tail wraps around herself to try and calm down.

-Ordo Vadamee-
Ordo just stared at the company that was joining them but when Taya left he stood up. Walking over and kneeling down beside her. Placing a hand comforting on her back. "Hey... you okay? I won't let them hurt you." He moved so he could look her in the eyes. "I will keep you safe Taya. I promise."
Taya shakes her head,"I-I am sorry..When new people want to visit..I just..I start to panic..Ordo, I just..I shrink everytime there others that are new around me, I am sorry for acting like this.." when Ordo placed his hand on her back, he can feel how scared and shaken up she is about the new comers then she looks at Ordo but she looks away,"You probably think I am pathetic.." she places her hands on her arms to try and calm down.

-Ordo Vadamee-
Ordo chuckled and shook his head. "No, I think you're trying to stay alive." He moved closer and wrapped his arms around her. She could feel the warmth coming off of him. "Those men from earlier fled, you moved to get air and collect yourself." He raised her chin up a little. Taking off his necklace and putting it on her. "My Shaman made this for me, it's suppose to protect me." He reached into his pocket and took out a red and black of a sorts. "Hold onto this for now okay? If you feel like you are about to get hurt, clench it and say Inferno. A fire Beast will come to protect you."
OoC: I'm just quoting you since we got a little side pocket here
Taya's eyes widened as Ordo was hugging her then she thought,'he is accepting..for who I am?' then she flinched as he puts on her a necklace then she said,"B-But don't you need it? I am mean you are a chief and you should be protected then me..I am just some feline who is afraid all the time of others around me.." she was so confused on why a Dragonborn chief is so kind to her then she thought,'No wonder my brother admired them so much..'

-Ordo Vadamee-
Ordo chuckled again. "I am a warrior and a dragon. I will be fine." Smiling he moved her hood from her face. "If I need it, I'll ask for it back. Till then you hold onto it. Plus I breath fire, so I got that going for me." He looked into her eyes. Giving a nod to her before he stood up. "Come on, take my hand."
Jhann heard another voice addressing the group, this time, female. There was beginning to be quite the congregation here!
He looked to the woman and vaguely recognised her. Wasn't she...wasn't she an emissary? A distant cousin of his, he believed. What was her name? He had definitely seen her before. What was her name? El...Elo...Elowyn? Yes, that was it. Elowyn. That must mean the man who appeared earlier must be her slave, Narx. He noticed her nod of respect to him. Yes, it was definitely her. The men seemed relieved to have someone more like them appear
His concentration was broken at the sound of Taya's panic attack. He turned to the two strangers and, without thinking, said, "Come, sit around the fire a while. It will be dark soon."
He turned to Taya. "Are you ok? I see Talyc has you in good hands, but is there anything I could do to help?"
