Gloryrness raised an eyebrow.
"That, I do not know. A hundred? Maybe even Three-hundred." He said. Clearly not knowing what time he really was from. As they were too busy to keep track of time, the war kept them occupied. Heck, He didn't even know his own age. But all that didn't bother him either.
Gloryrness just kept walking, smiling at the inhabitants every now and then.
Some inhabitants smiled in return. Others did not.
You must not forget that it's not even a day ago that their beloved leader, Straven, died.
It was a honourable dead though. He died in battle. Against evil, too.
A few seconds after what he just said, he spoke again:
"But, that's not what matters. It does not matter where you're from. Or what time.....
All that matters is that you're here now. It must be for a reason. Nothing goes without a reason"

It was probably only a matter of minutes before they reached where the others were before. The hide out was quite large for being underground.
"I wish you were right about being here for a reason. But you are right about one thing at least Mr. Brodon. We are here now, and that's what matters now." She gave him a reassuring smile as they turned another corner. This man, or shall she say, dwarf would probably be the only one who could possibly understand the concept of Havessa coming from the future, but she was sure, all that would be revealed in time. She just hoped it would not sign her death warrant.
It was a sigh-filled day as everyone seemed worn from the day's events. rest was something most in the group would welcome openly at this point. Havessa, however could not bring herself to close her eyes, not even for a few minutes. Weariness lingered in her mind.

((Let's just have it be that Allure was taking a short rest in her time of not speaking since I have no idea what else to do at this point.))
Seeing everyone in their own affairs, Allure decided to head off and see how the two newer ones to join the group were fairing. She noticed they looked particularily worn, unlike Allure who had recently woken from the short sleep that swept her away. She felt the much needed rest was plenty to energize her and wondered if she could convince those two to do the same. They surely must have needed it.
She approached and simply spoke, "Should you two wish to sleep, I could watch over and make sure no harm befalls you. It's the least I could do for the survices you offer."
((I really did not feel like writing normally so if parts don't make sense, please tell me. I'll alter them))

As Gloryrness saw that Allure approached, he hesitated to kneel. But decided not to.
Instead, he gave her a 'large' wave as he walked closer.
"I think we should all get some rest, Highness.
It seems like all possible entries are well guarded. And from what I've seen while wandering the halls. This hide-out has been here for atleast 5 years now. Surely it's safe enough.
Shall I go find the others?"
He spoke in a jolly tone.

Her face lost all signs of worry it previously carried and softened.
"You need't speak to me so formally. I'm no queen yet."
Her tone became slightly more serious and she turned slightly to the direction she came from which was where several others were.
"Rest would be wise indeed. I think it's is what we need most now. I know several others were back in that direction."
She motioned to the area she referred to.
"I could assist you if you'd like. Or I could wait with Havess if you'd prefer."

Ace had been leaning to the wall in one of the more shadow-y corners of the larger 'main' room.
He had been standing there for a while.
He had put his heavy 'Mistry' armor in a chest that now stood next to him.
His sword was mounted on his back.
While he stood there, he had been figuring out a plan.
He didn't know exactly what it looked like out there, in the DeLeon kingdom.
Or.. what kind of enemies were there.
But he had a plan, nonetheless.
As he heard the others converse, he stepped forward.
"I'll go." he spoke, followed by a short pause.
"Or.. We could all go."
((Mistry is Ace's surname. Altough he'd rather not hear it. But it's part of him.))

Sam nodded as Gloryrness tapped on his back "I've no intent on fighting anyway, just simple suriosity is all." he said and watched as they turned to leave.
Slinking in through the door he had come in he began searching for Ace, humming a mournful tune as he moved.

((Okay I'm just gonna move this plot along if it's okay with everyone else.))
Despite the weariness in her mind, her over caution and events of the day had exhausted Havessa extensively. Some of the hideout residence were kind enough to lend their party some beds for the night and Havessa found herself at the mercy of an old cane-bearing caregiver senior who literally pushed her into bed demanding that she get some rest. Only mumbling for a moment, she wasn't really in any position to deny the woman her right to her motherly instincts so compliance was necessary and deep inside, gratified.
Havessa laid there for only a moment before she fell into a deep sleep. In her dream, it was the same as the visions she was having, like she was recurring her memories. Some her nice, they were of her parents. Others, were acts of teenage rebellion, and others...terrifying. But something in her dream felt out of place. There was a figure there that didn't belong there. A man, dressed in all black, almost like a thin suit of armor, his face was masked by darkness, but his silver spiked hair glimmered in the eerie light. This man, Havessa knew, was not a part of her dream. An intruder?!
Jumping back awake, Havessa panted loudly as a cold sweat beaded down her cheeks and arms. The moment she looked around, she noticed everything in the room looked ransacked. But thinking back to only a moment ago when she awoke, it was really her doing, unconsciously causing her entire room contents to float only a foot off the ground. Hours must have passed from the look of the fresh wear in her bed and she slowly crawled out to get dressed. Not a very good sleep, but it was enough. Surely it would be morning by now, or at least close to it, and everyone in the party should be getting close to making the journey set ahead of them. Havessa had very quickly gotten dressed and moved out of the room to look for familiar faces.
((I hope this won't be a problem, I wanted to foreshadow Keji's introduction into the story.))

Allure woke by the sound of someone's foot steps. Even with her blurred vision she noticed it was Havessa. It was still early for as far as she knew and they had slept late so she wondered why she was up already. She stood and walked towards Havessa.
"Havessa, is everything alright? You should try to rest more since we have the chance."

Havessa turned abruptly to the sound of Allure's groggy, half-sleepy voice and relaxed upon the recognition. "I'm afraid my body won't let me sleep any longer than I already have. It would be wise for us to gather rations and supplies for our journey today. I might as well get that done, it's good to leave early in the morn." She replied with clear confidence in her voice. She gave a little smile and glanced about the hideout to figure out where a kitchen-like room would be kept.

Sam whistled lightly as he walked through the hideout, people turning to look at him and whisper as he passed.
Still looking for Ace sam began to hum and shook his head.
****
Erin sighed and rolled over on her uncomfortable cot and stood up on the floor.
She moved to the desk and pulled out her quill and a sheet of parchment and began writing
'Madame Allure
I don't think the battlefield is any place for me. I've never been one for fighting anyway. I'll stay here in Paris and help out down here, or anywhere else for that matter. It's been fun, I've learned a lot in my time here with you. This is goodbye, I guess.
In life and death, Erin Lendys.'
She folded the page over itself several times and walked out of the room.
Noticing Sam she handed it to him and simply shook her head, before leaving without a word.
****
Keji smiled to himself under his helmet and jumped off the roof he was kneeling on and landed on the cobblestones with a practiced grace and began walking through the dark streets "show me, show me where you are Ma Cherise" he half thought, half muttered.
As he walked he began to hum a low mournful tune, as his boots clicked loudly across the stone.
****
Sam shook his head and sighed "whats got her so spooked?" he asked and went to Allure's room, and stopped when she saw Havessa talking to Allure.
He stopped and leaned on the door-frame, waiting for the two girls to finish.

Havessa moved back to the hall where she bumped into Sam. "Sorry...oh! Good morning Samuel..." She cooed with politeness before venturing off to find a kitchen, her stomach growled along with her journey to stock up on some supplies for the party. Occasionally, thoughts of the figure in her dream would pass in her mind and she found herself shuttering the images away so she can get her self-designated task finished.

Allure placed both hands over face and created a thin ice over it that melted quickly. The freezing water helped her wake and she stood to walk in the general direction of where Havessa went to see if she could provide aid now that she was already awake. She noticed Samuel and said,
"Hello, do you think you are ready to head out for our journey today or would you like to get things prepared with Havessa and myself?"
[[Sam knows of the note I should assume?]]

(( Incase of TL;DR. Well, there's nothing much to read. Ace is just training. I was clueless what to write, so just wrote something.
His training will also introduce Lesuva's new character: Lesuva ))
Ace had not slept this night, like all the others had.
No, instead he had been training in a sealed room.
~~~~
This training, however was not for the battle of Deleon.
Ace did not worry about that, not with the plan that he had made.
((Ace found a map earlier, remember?))
"I will fight this battle. If we succeed.. I will leave for a while.
I have some things to do.
And trust me. We will succeed. We must."
Ace had told Allure the other day.
Frankly, this wasn't because winning the battle was what he wanted.
He did care, though. But not enough.
No...this went further.. They had to succeed...because Ace simply refused to die.
He refused to die, until he did what he had to do.
Allure's 'quest' was only a miniature of Ace's.
~~~~
The room was sealed with heavy, metal doors.
It was a slightly larger .. square shaped room.
The ceiling here was surprisingly high too.
It was totally empty, aside from the torches for the light, and Ace kneeled in the middle of it.
There sat Ace. One knee on the ground, supported by his other foot.
Looking up, he opened his eyes. A small flash could be seen in them.
Adrenaline? Anger? Who knows.
Ace jumped up and with a spin, the torches went out.
Small candle like flames could now be seen on each of his fingers.
Another spin, and the torches were building again.
Ace was completely focused, nothing could distract him anymore.
He clenched his hands to a fist, And jumped to the back of the room.
"You'll be sorry, father" he murmered.
A small ball of fire formed in each of his hands. Seemingly harmless, aside from a small burn. But their temperatures were infact enormously high.
"When I'm done with you... You'll be begging me to kill you.." He spoke again, trough clenched teeth.
Slowly moving the two balls of fire -that now emitted a bright white light- together, he formed a larger fireball-like thing. Then, he simply let it go.
The flames hit the walls, and doors. The walls became scorched, smoke filled the room and the doors showed a slight orange glow.
A raging scream came from Ace's mouth, as he began punching infront of himself, launching these small white-hot fireballs in the wall that stood at the other end of the room. Causing small craters to form.
As if the temperature of them wasn't enough to burn a hole trough someone already, their quantity was high too.
Ace took a second to breath before he formed a beam of flames and launched them directly at the wall, blowing the part which he aimed at away.
Ace let himself fall to the ground. He'd never remember all that he had learnt fast enough. He wanted to rid the world of his father.. But how could he if he wasn't strong enough?
He continued training..
