Epotheros turned sharply towards Ty, "We would have a better chance of taking on Zant than those four. If you didn't notice the two leaders had a very simular lever of power to Zant. It would be like facing two of him. Also the two assistants were faster than you and stronger than me. The one I met in the woods was only ranked VII, and he was almost on par with me. Right now I can at least presume ther are 14 of them. Perhaps there are more, like 100, 1000, 10000, Who knows!"
He then turned to Tramer, " Well have to try and find something on them later, after we defeat Zant, but for now we have no need to make them our enemies. For now were should rest up at the Tavern in town because I am compleatly out of strength."
As the group arrived into town, they were greeted by the towns folk on restoring their livlyhood. A banquet was thrown in their honor. Minstrals played music and their was much drinking, eating and singing till late into the night. Even though Epotheros never took a sip of alcohol, he became drunk. The atmosphere caused him to sing and dance with the rest of the people. On several occasions he even shared his affection with Clover who he gave warm kisses to. He would also try to get Tramer, Ty and Larien to come along and have fun with the rest of the town folk. He wanted to enjoy this day of celebration to the fullest.

As we entered the town we found that there was a banquet being thrown in r honor Unlike epotheros I drank more that my fare share of alcohol I joined the towns people in there song and dance and eat until I could eat no more I spent most of the time with larien I tried to get her to dance but every time she refused most likely it was because I could barely stand from the amount of wine and beer I had been drinking as I walked around I soon found epotheros I new he did not drink but he didn’t appear to be in any better shape then me I thought as I saw him stumbling trying to sing “hey epotheros” I yelled my speech slightly slurred

Ty did not join the group to the town party, but instead went to check on the dragon skeleton in the desert. It had traveled quite far from his birthing place by now and was now about a third of the way across the desert. Faster than you... the thought played through his mind continuously. Faster than me, huh? I saw them moving, i could travel faster than that in my sleep. Maybe i should ---...... Thinking to himself, he began to come up with a way to be more open to the group...
...this will certainly take alot out of me...and could I trust them with such a secret?

The outside air was overly refreshing. The wind greeted her happy to see her above ground again. Clover decided that she preferred the forest and open plains to caves and caverns. Clover walked on with the others and listened to them all. No, wonder he didn't mention those creatures before, she thought. He probably wanted to forget they even exist. Hopefully they won't be of any threat to our mission against Zant. She kept herself in deep thought until they reached the village.
Clover enjoyed the lighthearted atmosphere, but refrained from getting carried away at the banquet. She only drank water and sat watching the others. Occasionally Epotheros came to her, quite happily and kissed her warmly. She was thankful for that, but wondered how long the happiness would last. She didn't want to get her hopes up to much, to be disappointed in the future. Here and there she chatted with those around her. She even laughed at the hysterical scenes from the various drunkards littering her surroundings. Clover kept smiling throughout the night, but eventually nodded off where she sat.

((Ty, that dragon is hidden inside a temple and is unknown probably to every one except Zant. It will also be the last mission before the final one.))
Epotheros awoke quite early in the morning. He saw faint rays of light creeping into the tavern from the windows and doors. He aslo saw the towns folk sprawled out across the floor, mugs and goblets still clutched in their hands. As for himself he was sitting in a chair, his arm around Clover's shoulder with her leaning into his chest and himself resting his head on top of hers. Epotheros then gaver her a light kiss on her cheek and waited for her to awake. When she awoke Epotheros then said, "Good morning Clover," before giver her another, but more passionate kiss on the lips.
He then went and ordered some food for their morning meal and went to find Larien and Tramer so he could get them up. Tramer was in an odd position, probably due to him drinking large amounts of alcohol the night before. Larien was awake already but she did not have a comfortable look on her face.After they ate Epotheros took them out side and readied the horses for thier journy back to the castle.

As Clover slept for once her dreams were pleasant. She was traveling with the group. She didn’t know where they were going, but everyone seemed so happy. The whole time her head was filled with the wonderful thought of having no worries, responsibilities, and most importantly doubts. Clover was gently awoken by moist pressure on her cheek. She slowing opened her eyes to realize that she had fallen asleep in Epotheros’ arms. Before she had fully woken he greeted and kissed her. She simply smiled under his kiss, too sleepy to respond in any other manner.
Clover enjoyed breakfast. The food was comforting. Soon she found herself ready to mount Alfie once again. She looked at the others thoughtfully thinking back to her blissful dream. If only that was real, she thought to herself.

As the group returned to the castle, they were informed by a guard that there was another disturbance far off in the east. They were summoned to go meet twith the Lord at once. When they arrived Lord Barragon pulled an old merchants map off a shelf and rolled it out on the table. The map was quite crued and the outlines of the land masses were quite sketchy. It showed two large land masses, one lieing horizontal (Europe and Asia) and the other vertical (Africa). The y also had the lables of Eurasia and Africa painted on them. They also had smaller lines to represent providences and countries. The current complant was shown to come from far in the east. The lands around here were also in a very successful buisness with them in spice trading so it was important that we aid them with their troubles.
The trip would take over ten days by boat, but that was the only option since the flight by dragon over their would be forbidden due to the fuding of the eastern and western dragon clans. He then handed Epotheros a bag of gold to rent a charter ship and set sail for the far east. They would depart in the early morning to the nearest port, but for now it was time to rest from their trip.

Ty met with the group on the road to the castle.
as Epoth recieved the bag of gold, and the group departed from the room, Ty stayed behind to speak with the Lord.
"I...get really queazy in the stomach traveling by boat over the water. I was wondering if I could stay and help around here for another nine days, and then zip over there to join them...? If it's not too much trouble..."

"Fine by me..."
Epotheros the next mornig took his comrads to the nearest port. Situated there were many large ships, from naval battle ships to small fishing boats. While Epotheros was talking to the merchants to see if he could get them to charter the group over to the far east, he left them in the town square. Around them were many little stores. A little girl walked up to them and asked if they would like to buy some seashell necklaces from her was a small copper coin.
A short time latter Epotheros returned to tell them he had secured a vessel and that it would be leaving port soon so they needed to get themselves and their horses and pets aboard as soon as possible. SInce Ty had stayed behind, the usual sleeping arrangments were made, Epotheros and Tramer in one cabin, Larien and Clover in another. As part of the agreement they will have to help out with the chores in order to recieve their rations of food. Epotheros and Tramer were scheduled to do the standard deck chores, while Larien and Clover were to help in the kitchen.

Clover enjoyed the ride back to the castle. Though it allowed her mind to wander, she thought of only positive things. Her mood was slightly dented by the urgent news. The prospect coming and going so quickly, dampened her mood, but only slightly. Sailing across the sea was something new and exciting for her. She had traveled to the ocean before, but never had she traveled across it. Clover was looking forward to the journey ahead. Once the plans were made and everything was settled, Clover headed towards her room.
The next day was rather pleasant. The port was busy and filled with many shops. Clover kept diverting her attention this way and that like a child seeing somewhere for the first time. When a little girl approached trying to sell some necklaces Clover smiled and handed her three copper coins that she had been saving just in case. “Just take these I don’t need a necklace,” she told the small girl. She was sure that the little girl needed the money more than she did. Clover was certain of it.
Eventually Clover saw Epotheros return to them after searching for a ship to charter. Luckily he found one, and Clover was happy to hear that they would be kept busy with jobs. She had worried before of having nothing to do.

After doing all his chores it was early in the evening. The cooks had announce that the food was almost done and that the crew should begin to get ready for their dinner. EPotheros had worked up an appitite while doing the deck work, such as cleaning the floors, directing the sails and moving cargo. He took his seat at one of the benches and waited for his food.

Shortly after the group of four left for the port, Ty made his way to the library and began to go through every book, pamflet, scroll, tablet, map, etching, and even every painting he could find. Even at his current speed, it would take him a few days to finish everything in that library.

Clover worked diligently in the kitchen. The cooks mostly had her clean and bring them supplies. She didn’t mind the work at all. The consistent pace kept her from thinking of anything negative, instead she happily did what she was told. When dinner was almost done the cooks sat down exhausted and told the aids to serve the food. Clover placed several plates on a tray and walked out of the kitchen and began serving the crew. When she reached Epotheros and asked, “How was your day?” as she handed him his food.

"It was fine," he said with a smile. All the work h had done made him very hungry and he was glad to be fed.
A few days had passed and the ship had finally docked. The place was like nothing any of the members had ever seen. The people all looked very much the same. They all had black hair, brown eyes which were slightly thiner than their own and slightly darker skin. The panners and signs around the port were written in scribbles, which were very hard for even Epotheros, who had taken some of the far eastern language under the order of Lord Baragoon. Epotheros didn't know a lot, he just knew simple words such as "were may we sleep?" and things of that manner.
Almos immediatly after they had arrived a group of men sporting curved longswords (Katanas) approached them. Their armor wasn't as thick as what epotheros was wearing and it seemed to be made out of many little tiles. Their healmets were also unusual, they were decorated with tin horns that branched off of it. They soon started to speak in a tongue that left them dumbfonded until one man stepped out from the group and said, "Ale you the walliols flom Rord Balagoon? Prease come with me."
((Just as a disclamer, I am not trying to be racist in any way, shape or form so if this offends you, please let me know.))
