Welcome to Gaia! ::

A couple of hours later, Amaya began climbing back down the moutain. It was dusk, and she was exhausted. She found out who the new leader of the strikers was and had a long discussion with him, but it was just a lot of work. Half way down, she had to stop and just sit on a ledge for a minute, staring out into the valley.

It took Amaya about another hour to get down and then she just bega waking through the valley, trying to get back to Crow.

Vivian had ridden Delene back to the castle by now, walking up to her room slowly. Once she got there, she removed her cloak, slowly moving out onto her balcony, looking to the tree's for a sign of her sisters return.

The room was dark, no window to let light shine through. Suddenly a door opened. Light shone from behind the door and three shades were seen.
"Why have you freed me? Did Xander send you? I doubt that the King would be behind this."
The three man did not answered Rico's question. One of the placed some food and drink on the table in front of him. It was then Rico first noted the table.
"Give him a candle so he doesn't have to eat in the dark."
A man carrying the candle placed it on the table. Rico would try to see the faces, but his eyes still had to adjust to the bright light coming from behind the door. When he tried to pick something up with his ears, he heard some men on the background. Where was he?
"You have nothing to fear. We mean you no harm and you are kept here for your safety. You are a wanted criminal." With that the three left. The door locked behind them.
"What was that about?" Rico wondered to himself.

Xander had by then, made his appearance in Syra castle. He was accompagnied by the captain of his army. With Rico imprisoned, Xander had no one else but the captain to lead his army, in his absence of course. Their talks were about the recent events that occured during he wedding.

((Okay, let's see if I got it all right. Amaya has just seen the Strikers and is returning home. Roran had followed her, but made haste to Keros and is eating in the kitchen. Vivian is in Keros on her balcony. Xander has returned to Syra and is preparing his army to move. Rico disappeared from his cell. And I have no idea what Erika would be doing.
Edited: Akori is in the room Amaya was recovering in and Hector is outside the castle sleeping.
I believe that's what everyone was doing in their last post. Except for Erika, she was in Xander's room when he was recovering, but she hasn't posted afterward, so I'm not sure...))

((Also, for a heads up, Hector and Vivian are, for now, the second in command if Roran and Amaya are to die. The post is a page or two, back, I think, if you want to read the details.))

Amaya made it back to Crow and got onto the horse tiredly, riding back to Keros. Once she got there, she put Crow in her stall and then headed up to her room, but halfway up, she remembered that everyone was still in her room. She quickly solved the problem by going to sleep in Roran's room, wanting nothing more than to sleep at the moment.
