 This marketplace is located on the outskirts of the kingdom. Here the citizens allow the natural elements to decorate the section as it pleases, making it a place where nature and structures are in perfect balance. There are many bridges that make crossing the river easy. This place is usually crowded in the day.

Rowan appeared in the outskirts of the town in a blue haze of mist. Once the haze cleared the marketplace would be visible, bustling with busy people running about to get their daily deeds done. It was the busiest time of the day, the afternoon. Rowan sighed nostalgically as she took in the sight, she hasn't been here in months. It felt nice to be back, even if for a while. She turned to face Frederick with a smile. "Here we are, welcome to Arun." she said.

He appeared at the same time. The magic influencing was sudden and unexpected. When he landed on his feet. He fell forward. Jamming his sword into the ground. He felt like vomiting. His face green. "It seems... hold on a moment..." He lowered himself to the ground vomiting onto the ground. Contents of some of the lizard scales flowed with it. He shook slightly before returning to his feet. Still shaken from everything that had happened. "Serene... I was going to say serene." He blurted out. He thought about wiping his mouth, but their was more gross nonsense on his armor than his lips... and he'd just scratch his helmet anyways. Which he would now take off. Holding it awkwardly in one hand.

Rowan quickly backed away when he vomit, looking away since it was gross. Meanwhile a little kid walking with groceries not too far saw him vomit and screamed, running away like the devil was after him. Once it sounded like he was done Rowan turned back to look at him. Seeing his stained armor, she crinkled her nose. "Yep, you definitely need to be cleaned up now..." she said, a bit grossed out herself. She looked at the marketplace and pointed at it with her staff. "Lets go to the Ringmaster Temple first. I'm sure we have the stuff to help you there." she said. "If you need a break just tell me, we can pause if you feel unwell." she said. With that said Rowan began walking again.

He shook his head swiftly. Focusing his mind on the task at hand. His sickness fading away for a moment. Placing his helmet back on his head. He would pull his sword out of the ground and sheath it on his back. "If we did that, We would still be in the forest." He grumbled as he gripped the upper part of his left arm. Scratching an itch by pressing the chainmail inward. "Let's go. Before I pass out again." He would look at the towel on his arm. It had already soaked through... He would follow behind her now.

"Alright.. stay close. It's crowded." she warned. Rowan crossed a brick bridge covered with flowers that led to the busy part of the marketplace. It was very loud. Musicians were playing from somewhere, shop owners were yelling prices, people were running around with their purchases. The people in the Kingdom of Arun were the same as every other, with the exception of their clothing. Their clothing looked old fashioned, a different style than in the White Flame Kingdom. People around Frederick would notice him and step away from him to let him pass, leaving an empty space around them as they walked. His armor made him stick out like a sore thumb as a foreigner, and the gore wasn't helping at all. Though Rowan ignored them and continued to walk.

"Don't mind me... Just having a bad day..." He would joke with a heavy sigh. After a while of walking. He would slowly start dragging his heels. He was finding it extremely difficult to focus on the task now. "How much further..." He complained wearily as he looked up to Rowan and not the floor. His breathing getting somewhat heavier as he pressed on.

Rowan noticed Frederick was tired and stopped. "Just a little bit further, past that bridge and we're there. Hang on, we're almost there." she encouraged. Rowan stood beside him as support in case he needed it and slowed her pace. They arrived at another brick bridge shortly after, leaving the crowded mass of people and the marketplace. Rowan walked beside him and across the bridge.

"If you say so..." He mustered up some more strength and continued on for as long as he could... trailing behind her.

Rowan crossed the bridge which led to the marketplace, stopping before they could join the dense crowd of people. "Busy as ever." she said with a small shake of her head. Rowan proceeded, holding her staff close as they were swept into the crowd of people. It was the same as before, hardly anything had changed. Though a few people noticed Frederick and purposely avoided him, it wasn't as bad as when he was covered in stuff. Rowan walked around for a bit, checking to make sure Frederick was following. "Hmm, where is that smith shop...." she thought to herself. Rowan stopped walking to look around. "Hm, I haven't been here in months. I can hardly remember where everything is." she said.

Frederick sniffed the air. Smelling the fumes of coal and fire. "Either that is a good smelling grill. Or smithies are just warming their coals!" he smirked. "Come now. Follow me." would begin to head towards the smell of coal and fire. As he came closer. He could hear something similar to a swinging hammer. He would dodge around the crowd like a leaf in the wind. Heading towards the smiths. When he found what he wanted. He broke out a smile when he saw a Dwarf tending the flames. "Found you!" He waited for Rowan to arrive. "I knew he smelt familiar!"

Rowan was a bit confused but followed Frederick anyway, weaving her way through the crowd. She stopped once he did, seeing they had arrived at a smith shop. She blinked, wondering how he knew it was here if he'd never visited before. Smith sense? She took her small bag of coins out of her pocket and handed it over to Frederick to use. "You know him?" she asked

"Hell yeah I know him! We met at the Iron Mines when I was a young lad. He taught me a bit about Dwarven Smithing. He even gave me some mithril to make my sword. I owe him a lot." He would walk forward. "Hey. Iron Hammer!"
The Dwarf would look over to him. "Hey! Beardless!" The Dwarf would tease as they gave each other a swift hug and pat on each others backs before letting each other go. Then giving each other a swift punch to the face. "You know you still hit like your mother!" He joked as they shook hands again. "What brings you back here lad? Need some new gauntlets it looks like."
"Yeah, Got them torn up fighting some monster. Skewered it with your blade though. Except I wouldn't have made it out alive with out her help." He would finally introduce Rowan. "Rowan, this is Iron Hammer. He was one of the smiths that taught me a little bit of what I know. He also taught me how to take a punch and drink a pint."
Iron Hammer would laugh. "And even being 400 years younger than me. I still drink your sorry arse under the table!" He joked some more as he looked to Rowan now. Offering his hand to shake to her. He would be a little gentle with her, but still quite tough for his age.

Rowan stood by as she saw them reunite, smiling a bit. Though she was a bit thrown off when they punched eachother on the face. Must be a male thing... Rowan smiled at Iron Hammer and extended her hand to shake his lightly. "Pleasure to meet you, I'm Rowan. You taught him well." she said politely.

"Not really. He still punches like a lass!" He joked. "So you came out here to make some gauntlets did ya?" looking at them both.
Frederick would glance down with a evil glare. "Not with the way your craft!" He joked. Both of them letting out a laugh.
"At least your tongue is still sharp. Come, I'll show you my things, and you can get to smithin, because I know your not going to buy anything I have in stock right now."
Frederick would nod. "Much obliged. I hope maybe you'll give me a few pointers as well?
"Don't push your luck lad. Just cause you got me in a good mood. Doesn't mean I'll show you my tricks!" He joked about as he handed him a key. "That door to your right. You'll have everything you need inside. The forge is all cooked up as well. Now get started. You have two hours."
Frederick caught the keys easily. "Thanks Iron Hammer. You've always been the dwarf with the biggest beard!" He thanked as he walked to the door and unlocking it. He set out through the cupboards to gather materials...
"Flattery won't get you no where lad!" He chuckled as he blushed slightly. Looking back to Rowen. "Ah he got me blush that darn devil. He knows how much I love me beard!" He laughed as Rowan stood their. "So what brings you in the company of Frederick? He's a talented smith of course, but you didn't hire 'The Maker and Breaker' for nothing did ya?"
