From shadowsNyru Statem
When the madness had resolved, Nyru found himself keeping the gypsie steady and with a sigh to his breath he urged "yes... finally...". He looked up to see Claudia already making her way over to the queen, her majesty was utmost beautiful in her own way, a little curvy with pale purple skin like many pure Daywalkers. Her long white hair was done up and she was adorned by dark armour that made it effortless to move and fight. She stood much taller than Claudia, and looked down with a simple, dishonest expression of "You did well". Her accent was well-spoken, and still had that Egyptian edge to it, expected by what you would imagine a pharaoh to sound like. She then turned around and along with her so did her company of Royal Guards that Nyru and Claudia knew well. She then said "You may rest in the city for tonight, you still have a mission to take care of" before taking her leaving back towards the palace gates.
Why was the queen so off as of late? It made Nyru wonder if what Claudia had thought was actually right... Looking back tot he gypsie he looked over her youthful complexion and long lush hair. Noticing how weak she was he gave a confused look to Claudia, and shrugged his shoulders and widened his eyes as if to say he hadn't a clue what to do next.
Above the darkness and the shame

Blurry vision with only half opened eyes, it was no surprise that the only real thing she could make out was the stranger's handsome face, and Croix's muzzle and worried eyes. If a horse could be worried about her that is. Adi's hearing though, was just as accurate as ever.
She had no problem hearing the solider's reply that the beast was gone. With that the gypsy gave out a sigh of relief. "...good..." came her airy exhausted reply.
At this point had it remained she would only have been a liability for the trained individuals with her. However, it had sounded like others had finally come and intervened before things really got hairy. Of that Adi was glad, only just hearing the voices of the other female and another commanding and with an odd accent. Not a particular polite exchange for that matter either.
Though Adi had to go with the blonde archer, she was very thankful they had arrived when they had.
Sighing more, Adi began to lean even more on the male that was holding her up. He was literally keeping her from sliding fully from the saddle, though she was still.
"...I'm so tired..." Adi murmured but she remembered at the mention of somewhere to rest, she hadn't raised the funds yet. "...no where to go though...and can't raise money if I'm too tired to move..."
Rur'Adika actually felt exhausted of course, but it was a different kind. Like she was lethargic and had no energy to move let alone have the drive to do so. Wanting to sleep only because that was the only thing available to do in her condition. However, she couldn't not in her state and she needed to find a place to stay. Even if it was some run down old stable; just a warm dry place that was relatively safe and she was fine.
Just thinking of all that planning and moving around was exhausting her mentally as Adi slide further from the saddle upon her horses back.

Claudia looked into the queen's eyes of discouragement. She knew the queen had something against her, but to be honest she had something against the queen. They were both equal, and yet if one had to win the fight it would belong to the female with the more superior title. Receiving no praise, let alone a hand shake, the blonde balled her hand into a fist and straightened her posture. She was just as exhausted as the gypsy and her partner, but unfortunately had to continue on. Claudia sighed and turned on her heels to her companion who gave her a confused look. Declasia had granted the trio permission to rest in the city so she would make sure Nyru and the gypsy took up the offer.
She walked over to the two of them not liking how close they were. Truth was she was terrified to think of them together. Not exactly together as in lovers, but as partners. Replacing her, and putting Adi in the picture. They were polar opposites, but one can't have light with out a shadow. Two shadows didn't making a plus, and half of the time she felt like she always let down Nyru. He was always there for her, and she would give him grief. The female dismissed her thoughts before approaching the two.
"Nyru, you and the gypsy go find an inn and rest. I'll meet you there later, okay?" She didn't wait for a reply as she started to walk away. She wasn't sure how far she would get before she actually fell unconscious so she decided to make her information collecting quick. Maybe ask some random people here and there about the Black Jewel and Wander. Someone was bound to know something beyond the knowledge she held.

____________________________________________________________
Claudia seemed to want to go her own way for something, he trusted she'd be back soon. Meanwhile Nyru had found his favourite Tavern in the City of Crows, the The Nook. It was large, it had rooms, downstairs was a nice bar with tables, a crackling fire and some kind of cheap entertainment. The gypsie seemed to have lost consciousness. He felt slightly lost for choice as he could either mount or try and tug it along lightly. He thought the better option was to take its leash and hope it would follow, especially since its master was carefully placed upon its back. At the tavern though, Nyru had already bought a room for the gypsie, as well as another for himself. Nyru was downstairs by the bar sitting at a lone table near one corner, the night was calm and the moon shun through the glass window beside him. He had left the gypsie in her room to recover, and her horse in the stable just next door. Before him was a tankard of alcoholic beverage, every now and then letting it please his lips and taste buds after a days successful... in a way, defence.
(hope you're okay with my choice, Nemo. And i presume that Claudia won't be with us for a short while?)

Fighting and struggling to keep her eyes open and from letting into the exhaustion, she knew it was a loosing matter. Only a matter of time before Adi did finally cecum to it and pass out and putting herself in the care of a stranger.
She felt herself being readjusted and placed sluggishly back in the saddle and resting against Croix's mane. His musky smell of animal, hey and leather filling her scenes with memories when she would sleep on him for warmth and comfort. Feeling movement beneath her Rur'Adika finally let herself go and fell into the dreamless depths of her unconsciousness.
And still her tired fingers held onto the orb once glowing with a wondrous radiance.
- - - -
Coming around slowly, it was the scenes of touch and smell that came to her first. Like the feel of a relatively nice bed beneath her, and the weight of some blankets on her chest; neither thread worn nor new, just well used. Smells such as wood smoke, food and drink. Hearing came in a close third and Adi could make out the distant murmur of a group of people marry making and socializing.
Gradually she opened her eyes, missing the sparkling golden light she had found herself raising from, and not the the blackness she had fallen into. Something important had happened while she rested, but Adi wasn't sure what it was and put the feeling that she was forgetting something aside for taking in her surroundings.
Adi instantly knew she was in an inn of some sort. Familair with them all and recognizing the build found rising from the bed was much more difficult then expected. Everything, the simplest of movements feeling like a strain to her exhausted body. Still her mind was refreshed no only her body had to follow in its lead.
"...now how did i get here..." she murmured, thinking hard, which only made her pulsing head hurt more. Groaning, Adi lifted a palm and pressed it to her brow in an attempt of relief; there was none. "No point in staying in here..."
Slowly but gradually standing and testing her balance, the dark haired gypsy found herself capable of standing and maintaining balance effortlessly. Only the pulses of pain making her stumble down the hall and stairs towards the common area. Reaching the landing, she stared at a bar and eating area. All sorts of people gathered in the main area of the in talking over their ale and meals.
In a sea of faces she was only looking for one as she struggled to remember the face before she passed out. Raising a hand once more, Adi felt like she was trying to hold her brain into her own head as she struggled to remember. It didn't quiet come to her as her warm chestnut eyes wandered the crowd settling on a solider sitting by himself nearer the back.
Making her way towards him, she stopped not far from him nearer his shoulder from where he sat at the table. "May I have a seat?"

From shadowsNyru Statem
Nyru wasn't one to always enjoy a night at the Inn, taverns just weren't always... his thing. Too many people, too many faces with the all too familiar drunkards he usually has to deal with at the palace. Occasionally his ears would ring with laughter and guffaws from the nearby drinkers at the bar, other times there were watchers of the cheap entertainment, music or jokes, shouting out words of praise or shame. Soon enough, though, a shadow covered his left shoulder and cast itself over the worn wooden table.
He took a few seconds, but he did eventually look up after hearing a familiar voice. "Of coarse" he then answered, looking back down at the table before him and his tankard of ale as she got herself comfortable. the candle between them made the table glow orange and flicker whenever the door to the Inn would open, or whenever someone walked too closer to their table.
"How do you feel" he softly asked, letting his gaze look over to her from across the table. He had dark, sapphire eyes and his medium-long, black hair half covered one of his eyes.

The bursting laughter and gruff booming voices of the drunkards in the inn did nothing to help her headache. Only made it worse her skull pulse in annoyance with each irritating sound. His voice was relatively soft and smooth; the voice fitting the face that looked up at her from the table. The light of the candle giving it more of a welcoming glow.
Welcome to take a seat, with gentle tenderness of moving slowly, Rur'Adika eased into the chair. Her whole body aching and her head throbbing his question of how she was feeling made the gypsy smirk.
"I feel wonderful..." she droned, words clearly dripping with sarcasm as she held her head and bit her lip in pain. Looking up though she smiled and looked into the dark blue eyes of a Daywalker; a local. "I would be much worse shape though if you two hadn't been there. I thank you for that, now at least I know your face...but I have no name..."
It was Adi's simple way of asking for his name. A name to a face that helped and kept her alive in a very scary situation. But the conversation on just what that was they were fighting was for later.

Claudia stormed into the bar with a distort manner. She had searched high and low throughout the town, but no information turned up. The blonde even wanted to go complain to the queen, but that would be putting herself in danger. She had already gone through this situation in her mind, and each time she came to the conclusion of either her or Nyru being locked up for life or sentenced to death. Claudia had tracked down the tavern that the two had gone to and when she entered she saw the gypsy girl and Nyru sitting in a secluded corner.
The female pushed herself through the crowd of drunken men and women until she got to them. She grabbed an empty chair and sat down trying to make herself comfortable on the hard wood. What the hell was she suppose to say to her companion? The gypsy wasn't aloud access to the information so she would wait until her and Nyru were alone to disgust the affair. The glow from the candle illuminated her pale face waiting for them to acknowledged her or continue their conversation that she was sure they were having.

She seemed okay, better than before anyway. Her voice was soft however and he was almost glad she was awake and socialising with him. He then almost gave away a smile too, in reply to her thanks. "My name is Nyru Statem, Royal Guard and Caster" he replied in a modest tone. As his eyes trailed down towards he candle he added "What may i call you?"
And then the door was opened again as a dreadful breeze swept its way through the warm bubble within the tavern. No sooner was it that forced movement was heard and little later was it that a familiar, unfortunately disappointed face came into view. When Claudia came over and sat down, Nyru stared at her though she didn't seem to make eye contact. No doubt she was pondering her own thoughts and probably wasn't agreeing with herself. "Claudia?" he asked delicately, as if to be waiting for some sort of information. That must have been what she went looking for, she always does. "What's the matter?" he then asked again, leaning back in his chair as it creeked.

Staring across the table and over the flame, the heat waves distorting his face slightly, however gave him more of a mysterious feel. More then he already had, but the softening of expression she barely caught if she had not been so intent in watching him. At his name though, Adi smiled but surprise grew as he let her know he was a Royal Guard and Caster.
"Pleasure to meet you Nyru Statem..."
The gypsy woman had known he had some magic skills from what she could remember. And with his lineage mixed with his Caster title and Royal Guard status, well, he was a higher ranked individual to be sure. And him helping and sitting across from a stranger and nomad that had only arrived in his homeland.
Caught in her thought's Adi was brought back to reality when the door to the in opened and the cool air swept in and fluttered the light of the candle. "I'm..." she said, looking from Nyru she looked to find the blonde she remembered from the other day take a seat near them.
"I'm Rur'Adika Addaharra, wondering gypsy," she said giving her name and what she was, however that was obvious. "Nice to meet you both...and thank you for your help, Claudia..."
Adi wasn't sure if using her name was too presumptuous but having no other way to greet her, and with her clearly poor mood, didn't want to step on toes. Least as little as possible.

Claudia glanced at Nyru and shook her head. "Later." Was that all she could conjure up to say to him. At the moment, she was exhausted and didn't feel like putting in the effort to pull her partner away from the conversation. Besides, they were getting to know their new addition to the group. Claudia knew the female was a valuable asset especially with her light magic. The blonde could use a little girl to girl interaction. The gypsy thanked her kindly and instead of her usually conceded self, she decided to turn over a new leaf.
"I should be thanking you Rur'Adika Addaharra, that's a mouth full. I'll just call you Rur, if you don't mind. Your light magic was able to fend off the that monster." She smiled as she lightly hit Nyru's arm. "You should thank her too."

When the breeze cut off it only signalled his companions fast approach, she never came without a dramatic entry. Claudia would never have a simple entry, even in the worst of moods, it simply wasn't her style. When she sat down it was like a gap to his right was filled, but then it reminded him how there was still a gap to his left, that emptiness, it was something that would always arise in his mind but like an endless tug of war he'd shove it aside and forget about it. Though it always continued he couldn't understand what exactly that empty place was for. A sudden force against his arm tore him from his daydream as his eyes frantically looked up at Claudia. The small shock made the backs of his hands seemingly sweat for an instant, at least enough for the moisture to cool and become noticeable beneath his metallic armour.
"Oh, yeah" he continued, realisation on his face as the calm settled again and said "Thank you, without you we would have been worse off". The candle reflected in his eyes as images of the Fallen Angel appeared in his mind, how it had a deathly grace and an eerie wisdom, defying the queen her right to kill by a mere twitch of his arm. He then remembered how Claudia had been out, and must have some information of sorts, but shortly after he recalled Claudia telling him 'Later' would be a better time. Claudia wasn't one for outsiders, and Rur'Adika was one of them. But Nyru noted how Claudia wasn't like most outsiders, she wasn't fueled with prejudice and she tried to save them, not the other way around.

A simple word of 'later' explained enough to her that she wasn't to be involved in whatever conversation was to occur after this. Not that she minded or cared, it was to be expected, however, the tinge of hurt of being left out, couldn't be missed. However, Adi quickly moved on as Clauida spoke about thanking her and the comment on her name.
"Yes...Gypsy kind tend to have rather elaborate and interesting names," she said with a chuckle not at all offended. "And you can call me Rur if you like, or Adi, most of my friends or close acquaintances call me that.."
Their thanks alone made her flustered, but both of their appreciation for her quick thinking made the young gypsy blush. It was not often that she ran into such cases, or helping out in such stressful and dangerous situations. Rur'Adika's quick thinking though had saved them from a darker fate that was for certain.
"You're welcome...however, but I have to say, we made it work by being there together. I hadn't the strength or the energy to manage to use the orb to that capacity. If it hadn't been for what you both did, we all would have been worse off..."
Adi thought of the beggar, the man she barely remembered hearing dying in her hears but unable to see. But she also couldn't believe that her orb, which was used mainly as if it were a lamp in the dark, had that much power.

Claudia noticed that it took Nyru a few seconds to react to her touch. He wasn't himself and usually when he drifted off into his own world or thoughts it wasn't a good thing. However, she released a small sigh of relief at the fact that he answered her at all especially when she disregarded him the way she did. The subject of their "quest" should be no concern to Adi, but she even felt a twinge of pain in her chest by leaving the female out. Queen orders. The blonde scoffed at the thought before acknowledging the gypsy.
She was glad the girl wasn't offended by her shorting her name. It made Claudia smile when Adi said there efforts as a team are what won the battle. She had no reason to doubt the truth of this statement. Perhaps, the dark haired female wouldn't be a bad addition to their small team. A light wielder could and has proven to be usually even though they've only been together in one battle. Still that one battle was able to win over Claudia decision. "Your right, Adi. I like that nickname better. If you two don't mind being departing from the party, I would like two speak to you both in private." The girl stood up, her wood chair scrapping along the stone floor. She was afraid someone would overhear them so going to a desolate area or a private room was in order.

Adi was correct, without their combined energy there final stand would have most definitely been their last. It brought images of the bright light to his already occupied mind, the warmth, the sting on the darkness like red-hot iron to a cold bucket of water. Claudia then made the decision to request the three speak in private he cautiously looked around at the drunkards, to his left a large, rather lively table of men drinking from tankards, the old lady here and there being chatted up. Further away nearer the bar others just sat and drank, some more shifty looking that the other's Nyru thought. He nodded in Claudia's direction, giving his approval.
After the scrape of his chair on the cold hard ground he took another look around before following Claudia, where he had gestured discreetly to the staircase leading upstairs. "second door to you're right" he said quietly under his breath to Claudia, where they all met within his own spare room. He made sure to hire his own room and Adi's directly beside each other, so that if anything were to happen he would be able to group up quickly. He had held the door open to let Adi in, and then closed it after looking through the closing gap. The room wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either, the bed was simple with white sheets that looked neither worn nor new. The wood used for furniture and flooring was aged well with use and like the rest of the floor on this level, it creaked ferociously.
"What is it you have to discuss?" he asked, leaning back against the door with his arms crossed.
