[IC] Dragon Academy

[twannyman]

In a tavern along the edge of the Old Kingdom or so it was once named many years ago, a cloaked figure came inside.
“Good tidings, Inn Keeper. A room and meals for a few days once more, if you please or don’t please.” came a male's voice.

A key was passed over the counter to the young woman who was taking the hood of her cloak down.
“Thank ye. I’ll show myself up.” He headed up to the room where He always stayed. He changed and unpacked before heading down the stairs for dinner.
He sat in her usual corner which was the cleanest spot in the tavern. And why not since He owned the tavern. Not that many knew that fact.

The Inn Keepers wife came over to see what she wanted.
“The usual. Any news around here?” she asked.
“No ma’m. It has been very quiet since you left last month. I’ll have your stew ready in a few minutes.” He spoke as she left.
The strange man was writing a poster to be placed up on the board.

When the wife came back, the man handed her the poster.
“Please post this. I will need a large load of supplies next month. Mostly staples such as flour, sugar, lard, nuts, dried fruit, smoked meats, oats. I will be bringing a few sets of oxen with me.” He spoke as she handed the poster to the wife.
“I’ll have the estimate before I leave in the morning. I’ll be leaving at first light.” The man announced.
“I’ll have your usual ready for ye then.” Was the answer from the wife.

A young homeless woman came into the tavern. However, she did not look like your average girl. She had a man's clothes on, wore a cap common to the teenage boys in her home city and had bound her otherwise ample chest. Most people ignored her in this city, which was what she wanted, thanks to her clothing style. Most just thought she was a feminine boy. But under the cap, she had fiery red curls that looked like blood was magically on her head, expressive and wide blue eyes. She placed a silver coin on the counter. "The usual for me, please." Came a husky voice that made her sound like a boy. That was the voice she used whenever dealing with people. Her inherited sword she had gotten from her grandmother, who was long since dead hung around her hips, the baggy peasant's shirt covering her hourglass figure.

She watched the Innkeepers, who had taken pity on her, get her usual ready. She sighed softly, then smiled as her food came. "Thank ye." she said in that same voice, beginning to eat. She begged on a well known corner of the market and she was often only given bronze and silver coins but one silver coin was enough to buy her food. She looked and found a poster when she was finished. She went to take a look. She smiled. The perfect opportunity for her. She was more than happy to find this.

Natalee walks into the tavern and sighs as she sits down at a table. Something was bothering her, most likely the fact she was in the tavern. She sat down somewhere where she waited for a friend to arrive. Surprisingly the friend doesnt show up at all and she just wasted her afternoon. On the way out of the room something catches her eye. A regular looking poster hung on the tavern's bill board. It talked of a request for students to attend a school. The only catch she had was.... Fit enough to travel many miles on foot... She was not fit
