Maia's spoon paused on the way to her mouth as the new man introduced himself. A god? He did not look like any god that she knew and Isambard was a strange name.
"I don't know of any gods by that name," she said boldly. "I worship the god Mordain, the Creator and Worksmith," she continued. But there was something certainly different about this man. She could not put her finger on it quite yet. "I can draw a map, but I do not want to be left behind," she answered him with a bit of worry.

"It is my true name." He replied simply, he would not force belief, though he could see she was already half way there and indeed believed there was something different about him. Besides her god seemed to encompass him in a way, himself and forge perhaps.
"You cannot go." Talia aid softly. "You are weak, too weak to make that kind of a journey. You would slow the party."

Maia turned her eyes to Talia as she declared her unfit to travel.
"But I have not seen my home in so long," she said softly.
"You will see it again. But there might not be a home for you to return to if we do not get there fast enough," Azriel replied gently.
Maia breathed in deeply and looked around to the various faces above her. Her eyes settled on Isambard.
"You will save my people?" she asked him. If he were truly a god, surely he could do anything.

Isambard nodded.
"I will do what I can to help them. Once you point us in the right direction I will get some men together, the strongest and most skilled. Talia, we will need you too. Maia can stay with Elora."
Talia gave a snort of laughter at that, as if she was going to give this young girl into the claws of the local Madame.
"I don't think so, with all due respect."
Isambard smirked.
"Elora will take good care of her. She is a good woman."

Azriel watched Maia watch Isambard for a few moments, then she turned back to eating her stew. Talia's snort of laughter and refusal caused him to smirk and turn his eyes to her.
"We do not really have a choice Talia. We can trust Elora to keep her safe and comfortable. We will need you, especially once we reach her people. They will need you," he smiled softly as he held her eyes.

Talia held his eyes for a moment and then rolled hers.
"Yes, okay. I will pack some essentials that we might need for them."
Isambard smiled.
"Good, Azriel, bring your best men. I will bring Cyrus and we will set out after sunset this evening."

Az smirked at the roll of the eyes, then he nodded to Isambard.
"I will go and inform them now," he smiled and bowed his head to Maia and Talia briefly before turning to leave the room.
