Denian heard what Gabrielle said and he relised that she did not have the same ability as he did to sense life forces and essences. If th information that he got from his recent visit to the monistary was that her last visit there was not a good one and he understood that wich is why he was going to have to lie to her she couldnt know it was the one that was her caretaker. Because of the arcane arts that he had mastered it hid his age. Denian decided he didnt want to walk the rest of the way but used the wind to float the rest of the way it was much faster. Denian arrived there and came up with a name to hide his identity. "I am Eliono of the brotherhood of Francis. I come in search of you i have a mission from someone very important to find you." Denian having said this knew that there was no going back.

"Nice to meet you Eliono. I am Gabrielle Camille..." and stepping aside to show Dimitri. "...and here is Lord Dimitri Solidari." If her manners were welcoming, her eyes had lost of their joy at the mention of a mission. "Someone important?" she asked with a serious ton.
From up-closed the man still looked young but his eyes were not the ones of an adolescent. The feeling of familiarity was quite overwhelming close to the monk. A strange feeling for the woman to feel but she decided that it came from the fact that she had never met a monk from Priest Francois's Monastery outside of the walls of the cloister before.
Gabrielle was wondering who might be looking for her. "Is everything alright at the Monastery?" she asked with some worry in her voice.

Continuous drowning. The best way to describe the feeling. Being underwater and feeling the effects of too much water in body’s systems, yet at the same time not ever breaching the line of death. A cruel irritating feeling that would not alleviate. To match this feeling was the sentiment of the water’s depth slowly crushing the body. Once again the feeling of it being close and yet not being crushed to death. The boy’s body continued to sink, something wrapping around his legs, like an anchor to ensure he could not escape. Down and down into cold water, until that wait finally hit a sandy bottom, which put the boy in front of the door. The door that he dislikes so much. Or more like it is the door that dislikes him. On the other side he could never remember what it is. It was something that should stay on that side though. His eyes staring at the large gate as it begins to move. It slightly opens and he can see…
The event made the boy’s eyes snap open wide. He raises his blue hand to watch the reflection of his face. Everything was still there. Removing his palm the teen stared up into the sky. It had become morning and everyone was sleeping. The person closest to him was the white hair girl. The snow skin girl had fallen asleep opposite of Rashnu, but sometime during the night his right leg had gotten encumbered with hers. Before anyone can wake up and claim him playing footsie with anyone, the boy got up and strapped Kuteil to his back. He walked off to find a decent body of water. He could go for some morning training. The boy walked upon the white sands of the beach and went waist deep into the crystal water. Standing still for a few minutes’ four small towers of water quietly erupted ten feet into the air. There were two before the boy and two after. Each one like a continuous geyser with, spouting water from the sea into the air.

Mori had finally been soothed by Jon's presence and was able to sleep as the night grew older. When she woke, she was in her usual place, curled up around Jon. However, her mind, rather than staying sleepy and muzzy like usual, was already running in circles. I'm going to have children... Someone in the early morning light, the thought wasn't as scary as it had been last night. Smiling, she cuddled closer against Jon, feeling her hair tickle from where she had taken it down last night to brush the middle of her back like an inky black silk sheet. She listed to his heart, the sound soothing her even further as she momentarily forgot she was among strangers.
Puck had watched all the going-ons silently for the rest of the evening, moving only to position Anlu better against him as she drifted off to sleep. The softening of the wolf's peculiar blue eyes was obvious to even a stranger as he looked at her sleeping. He had stayed awake most of the night to be sure she was safe, finally laying his head down only when it was close to dawn. Now, his exhaustion had him very softly snoring in his deep slumber. He would be sleeping like the dead unless something very obnoxious woke him.

The ideas of the pitter patter of little feet had run rampant through Jon's mind all night. In his dreams he had seen everything laid out, all of it so new and different. Children...initially the thought had hit like a ton of bricks and with little to no remorse, but now it seemed almost right. Mori, himself, and two children a little family. The morning sun cut through Jon's dreaming though like a hot knife. He held his eyes shut feeling the weight and warmth of his spouse clutching to him with his arm wrapped around her, holding her close. A long breath left his lungs through his nose greeting the morning air. His eyes cracked open slightly, the man suddenly realizing that he had no urge to move. Why did he need to get up right now. He wasn't hungry, he was already where he needed to be, not to mention that he had his love right there pulled close. Why even bother rising from this repose? No answer came. He lightly rubbed Mori's upper arm and kissed the top of her head but no other body part moved. Instead he remained there, eyes closed toward the sky taking in what he could sense of the world around him.

Denian now under the cover of a young monk named Eliono had to take this carefully as not to blow his cover. "Emilien sent me to keep a eye on you he was worryed about how you left in the condition I am here to keep a eye on you and he assured me that my abilitys would be of aid to you." Denian would make sure that he would be by her side no matter what for the time being under the cover of being on a mission from a high ranken monk such as Emilien she would more than likley have no choice but to allow Him to stay by her side she could usually never renounce Emilien for he was the only other monk besides the head master that accepted her for who she was.Other than himself.

Hasslar Va'Sesh woke at dawn. He had been traveling for days and had finally reached the Shimmering Coast, as ordered. He knew little of the force that threatened his masters' machinations, only that it needed to be obliterated... Hasslar was not one to question the will of his masters. They had given him shelter in his hour of need, guarded him from his enemies. As much as he detested serving anyone, he owed them his complete, unquestioning supplication.
Quietly, he used the plates on the underside of his tail to scatter the embers left by his campfire. Hasslar then gathered his things, donned his black leather armor and slithered away from his campsite as quickly as his tail would carry him. He had been tracking them all day yesterday. It hadn't been easy, but he was gaining. Another two hours and he would be upon them... One hour if they were still sleeping. He didn't like the prospect of working with others. Solo missions had always been his forte as his personality often clashed with any others he worked with, however, his superior has assured him that he would not be able to accomplish this on his own. Hasslar physically swallowed the lump of pride that had gathered in his throat. Despite his misgivings about this, survival was important as ever.
An hour had passed. Hasslar paused for a moment to closely examine the trail. He was close... In fact... He slithered forward slowly, the grass muffling any sounds he might have made. Fifteen minutes later he was cresting a hill and he spotted them. Some stirring, but most still sleeping. The band was of a good size, he noticed and wondered if they couldn't do this without him. However, he had not traveled all this way for nothing. Not to mention, he had his orders. He slithered forward, coming upon the group silently. He preferred not to announce his presence, but, rather observed the group through his slitted pupils, tongue flicking from his mouth from time to time to taste them on the air...

Raigon had not slept for he did not need it at times he would allow himself to sleep for the luxury of the absence of feeling but he had meditated all night long. Raigon sensed something approaching and decided to use his abilitys to leave the circle of people not even his trench giving any sound he used his extreme speed to go twords the life form. Raigon saw a snake like creature that was armored and decided to see who it was. Raigon used his abilitys to approach with no sound at all and started to glide along side the creature. "And what do we owe the pleasure of having the company of such as your self." Raigon only whispered the words but they carryed into the creatures head.

Anlu was only in a half sleep and she just curled up closer to Puck when the voices of others entered her dreams without her permission. Relaxing herself, she prepared her body to fall into another deep-ish sleep. After all, she could sleep forever as she was now. Luck was against her, however, and she heard someone approaching. Now for most people, the sound would be nothing, but her hearing had increased a great deal over the three years she had been a strider. Thoughts grumbling, she opened her eyes and sat up. Looking around, with her usual blurred vision, she only saw the colored lumps of those sleeping around her. Another slither and her head turned sharply in the direction of the new commer. Wondering why he as trying to hide his presense, she just stared at him. Was he being polite by being so quiet, or was he trying to sneak up on them? She decided to let Puck sleep through this one. No need to bother him. She figured he probably stayed up all night anyways. Otherwise he'd be up by now.

Hasslar's bronze, serpentine eyes flicked to the wolf man at his side. Already they were pestering him! But such questions were natural and unavoidable. He opened his mouth to speak, revealing two rows of jagged teeth. His fangs, however, were still pressed against the roof of his mouth. He gave his best attempt at being non-threatening. When he spoke, he made certain that the whole camp could hear so he would not have to repeat himself.
"I am Hasslar Va'Sesh," he said in his naturally raspy voice, "Knight of Internal Darkness, third rank. I have come, as ordered, to offer my aid to you." He remained motionless and stoic, his eyes flicking around the camp. His eyes narrowed at one girl who seemed to be staring at him. He said nothing, but did a poor job of veiling the contempt in his eyes.

Anlu raised an eyebrow to the stranger before slowly getting to her feet and approaching him and Raigon. Quietly she spoke as she came closer. "You don't have to be so loud." He voice was calm and quiet, stepping nearer to the snake man. It wasn't until she was a few feet away that she saw, somewhat, what he was... a speicies she did not know, but she instantly picked out the snake in him. Hmmm... poisonous, perhaps? I like... "Most of us are still asleep, or trying to remain asleep. No offense or anything..." Sheshrugged slightly. Next to him she was very small, and was easily looked down upon... in that sense anyways. "Nice to know you're here to help, though."

Raigon could hear the emotions in his voice easily. But then again it is what his animal like senses and his psychic abilitys allowed him to do. Raigon then decided he would like to test something. "Ahh a dark knight if you do not mind it would you mind a spar by any chance. I am am just wondering because i have not been able to fight for a long time and fear that my old body is geting rusty on me if you do not wish so it is no problem nor do i need any harm by this at all." Raigon awaited the serpent like creatures answer he did not mean to upset the warrior nor did he want him to be hurt but he seemed the type that he would not be able to get his doubt of them out unless they knew of their strength.

Hasslar looked to the human that had approached him. He was quite annoyed at the reprimand, however, he realized that relations must be kept amiable if they were to fight together. He could not bring himself to apologize, however, he simply said, "Sssensitivity isss not my ssstrong sssuit..."
The wolf man then posed the offer to spar. Hasslar did not normally spar outside of Castle Dreadnaught. When he fought, he intended to take a life. Still, he had gone days since his last battle and felt it would be good to get his blood pumping again.
"I shhhall," he said to the wolf man, "But first, I require namessss... I must know what to call you on the battlefield..."

Raigon gave a wolfish smile that showed everyone one of his huge canines."Ahh that i am Raigon Of The Wolfs. I am also one of the first members among The Dawn Stider mercinarys a pleasure to meet you." Raigon grabed the staff off his back spining it in a blinding show of speed as he bowed in a old fashion manner.

With a small nod and a half smile, Anlu silently forgave this man, creature, person... Raigon challenging the snake-man was an interest to her and she was even more interested when the new guy accepted. Curiously she wondered who would win. Raigon with his psychic abilities, or the snake man with his mystery? She wouldn't place any bets yet. "Careful while you fight... perhaps take it elsewhere? You guys might wake up people who'd rather sleep..."
In response to him asking their names, Anlu simply raised a hand and annouced herself. "Anlu of the Black Briar, priness and heir to their throne... Dawn Strider, as well" Having been three years since she'd become a strider, she rarely had any worries of them comming after her. She figured that they hadn't caught much of her trail since then, and they wouldn't now. Even if they did, they couldn't force her to marry. Puck would kill them. And if he couldn't she was positive she could. She wondered again, though. The Clan of the Black Briar were great contributors to the Knights of Darkness, they supplied the vast majority of poisons after all. Would this guy know of any of it?
