[IC] The Rise of the Guardian

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ash smiled and said “he has decided to come with us, my guess to keep us from killing our selves. Which is a step forward in this whole mess. And we gathered some more info on me but that isn’t important”

[Jazz]

Carth peered from around the wagon to with a confused look toward Ash. He didn't understand. How was it not important? He peered away and continued his inspection with a quiet huff. He didn't think he could understand her reasoning when she was the one he rallied behind.

Both men looked confused themselves. "Indeed. We were just about the take stock on what we had and make a list of supplies we need." Maltoran tells her.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ash nodded and said “we can help with that then split the needed supplies up and get them faster. We are waiting till the doctor is ready to leave and scarlet is cleared. I’m cleared so that helps…” she saw all their odd looks and asked “what’s wrong?”

[Jazz]

Maltoran looked to Altoron and then back to Ash. "We do not understand how finding knowledge about oneself not important. Especially since it appears to us that it would seem important to you, no matter how confusing it may seem." Maltoran explained. Carth had stayed behind the wagon as he listened.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ash paused and looked at all of them the said “because…I don’t think I’m that important to drag others into my problems. I can’t be if no one noticed me vanishing all those years ago…”

[Jazz]

Carth came out from behind the wagon then, feeling frustration. Maltoran and Altoron looked back to Carth.

"But you have people that care now. I just found out I'm a freaking beast! You, Ash. Helped me through my time of stress and uncertainty. I have gone my whole life thinking I was alone, meant to be alone with a horse as my only companion! Scarlet reminded me that I'm not alone. Not anymore. And now I'm telling you that you aren't alone either. We're all here for a reason. I think that it's a good thing." Carth ranted and raved. If he wasn't allowed to feel alone and unimportant, than neither could Ash.

The two other men were surprised by the sudden outburst. They noticed Carth's eyes change to golden slips as he was saying his piece. They looked to Ash then.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ash stared at him, stunned. “Carth…” she thought for a moment then said “your right. I’m sorry guys. I’ve been alone so long and been in the dark for just as long…I never saw myself important. But I see I just wasn’t with the people that needed me yet that is all”

[Jazz]

Carth had closed his eyes and taken a some deep breaths after noticing his temperature rising, he could feel himself cooling off and soon back to normal. Opening his eyes, they were back to normal as he smiled. "It's okay." He walks up to her, stopping a few feet in front of her. "Just don't forget we're all here to help each other." Carth tells her.

Maltoran and Altoron nod in agreement. "As for the supplies we can split the load that we need and go from there." Altoron states agreeing to her suggestion. "We already have a list." Altoron shows her.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ash took the list and looked it over and nodded. “Sounds good. We should add mana potions to this for the elementals just in case”

[Jazz]

Altoron nodded. "Good idea." He then folds the parchment before tearing it cleanly and handing Ash one half of the parchment. "If they were compared, it was and even list of supplies. "This fair?" He asks

Carth looks over Ash's shoulder and nods. "This is going to be interesting!" He said with a grin. Seeming to be coming back to his normal self.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ash nodded and said “alright, I’ll handle this half with whoever wishes to come with me and the rest handle the other half. Then we can meet up at the cabin we were given to go over the travel plans. By then scarlet and Orion should be able to meet with us”

[Jazz]

Carth raised his hand. "I'll go with you!" Volunteering himself to come along. He was ready to help out and relax a bit. 'Finally getting to clear the air!'

With that, the two assassins nodded, agreeing and going to get their half of the supplies.

"Ready?" Carth asks, acting almost like a excited puppy.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ash smiled at him and nodded starting to walk towards the market “I’m ready. Need some more gear too…lost some items during that fight with the beast in the woods…”

[Jazz]

Carth walked with Ash toward the market, having tilted his head when Ash spoke about her gear. "I didn't notice you had lost some gear. Maybe we should get those first. Theeennn get the supplies." He suggests. He takes a glance to his sword. "I think I might need to get my sword a good tending to as well. It's looking a little dull."

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ash nodded and said “it was that fight we met. That beast trashed a lot of my gear that was on my horse. Basically my fan blade was the only thing that didn’t get destroyed. Just need ranger gear like a picking kit, smaller weapons and stuff like that”

[Jazz]

Carth's eyes widened at the realization, mouthing an 'Oh'. "That sucks." Carth looks around as they walk and finds a general store. "Want to see if they have any gear?" He asks.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ash nodded and headed to the door and slipped inside, pulling out the list to see what was needed that could be here. “Okay…some rope and items for the wagon I think we can find here…bigger tents as well”

[Jazz]

Slipping inside the store with Ash, Carth looked around while she was pulling out the list. He starts browsing as the shopkeeper comes to view. A young long haired brunette girl with a welcoming smile. "Welcome in! What can I do for you?" She asks them.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ash smiled at her and held out their list. “We need these items, and I also need a rangers go kit if you happen to carry that. And we also need directions to a black smith for my friend over there”

[Jazz]

The young girl takes a look at the list given to her and examines it. "These items we certainly have as well as the Ranger's go kit. Be right back." With the list in hand, she begins to gather all that's on the list. Making a few trips. The girl lays it out and begins packaging them up neatly and places them into two rucksack like backpacks. "Here you go! As for a smithy, he would be just to the left and 5 buildings down."
