-=[6:00a.m. Forests of Grimsgil]=-
Early in the morning a horse drawn cart travels down the road on its way to Raven's Peek. All is quiet in the forest aside from the distant ping of hammer meeting anvil. Silus lay on the back of th cart looking up at the morning sky "Funny how calm and peaceful things are seeing how close we are to the Dead Lands" he said out loud not bothering to move himself. "Good your awake," Iris said from the front of the cart. "We are almost there and its your shift to be on watch." She said getting up and hopping into the back of the cart. "Right, right, you probably are a bit tired, I understand." Silus said sitting up. After taking a bit to readjust his gear Silus grabbed his javelin quiver and went to sit up at the front of the cart. "Thanks again for giving us a ride, not many people would travel this road at night." Silus said to the older man driving the cart. "Not a problem at all lad," The man answered, "You hunters do a great service to the land and I try to help out when I can. Besides I needed to make a delivery to Raven's Peek anyway and having some well trained guards made me feel a lot safer." He said with a grin "Well, I just want you to know I appreciate it sir." Silus said back with a grin before being told to shut up by Iris who was trying to sleep.
The cart carried on its path with little else being said for an hour before the wooden walls that surrounded the town of Raven's Peek came into view. Soon enough they arrived at the gate and were stopped by the local militia guards, that was until they saw the Order's Insignia Branded into Silus' shoulder plate and they quickly let them though without any other incident. Once inside the town Silus looked over at the elder man, "This is far enough, we can walk to the fort on our own." He said getting off of the cart and walking around to collect his things. Once he had gathered his equipment and strapped on his two bags of belongings SIlus took one of his javelins and poked Iris in the foot waking her with a jolt. "Time to get up, were here." he said as he saw her visibly angry. "I will get you back Silus, just remember that." she said as she got up grabbing her belongings from the cart. "Thank you again sir," She said to the Old man before turning away and walking up to the fort not even waiting for Silus. "Yes sir, thank you" Silus said again before tossing a small coin purse onto the cart. "Take this as payment please we insist." he said before making his own way to the fort not waiting for the man's response.

With the early morning gone things were already up and going at Raven's Peek. Christoth was hard at work in his forge working to fill a weapon's order that another branch had sent to him. While Heidrek had already sent his men out to start their morning drills he sat in the Forts kitchen preparing the morning meal. For the moment two teams inhabited the Fort Heidrek and his men, who were to stay behind to defend the fort and surrounding area and Silus' men, the "away team" who were just meeting up as a team for the first time. Although some of its members might had meet and worked together before today was the first time this team would be coming together as a whole. Some members of the team had worked with Heidrek before and were already at the fort, while others were on their way and would arrive some time within the day.
Iris was the first to arrive if only a few minutes before Silus but her entrance didn't go without notice. Christoth quickly got to a stopping point tossing the blade he was working on into the water barrel to let it cool before leaving his forge and coming up to Iris "Well hello there gorgeous, we don't get many female hunters around here. I am Christoth, allow me to serve you in any way possible." he said in a cool seductive voice. "Sorry muscle boy, not interested," She quickly said blowing him off. And before Christoth could even respond a big laugh came from the kitchen. "Already shot down my boy?" Heidrek said and called in a few of his men to take over the kitchen work while he went off to meet Iris. "Well little miss, you must be the Young Iris am I correct? Its good to have you here, our last medic was some poor soul who got nauseous at the site of blood. and from what I have heard you are quite good at what you do." The big man greeted her. The compliment made Iris blush a little and she smiled "Yes sir, I'll be sure to help out in any way I can." She said, "But not you," She quickly added looking back at Christoth who was just about to open his mouth again. "Whelp looks like I have been found out, I'm just gonna get back to work then. He said turning around and heading back to his forge defeated.
Then Silus arrived to the fort in time to see the defeated Christoth go into his forge, his gaze turned to Heidrek "Well if it isn't the Bastard of a Bear, I heard it was you who called me here. What has it been four years?" he asked walking up to the big barbarian holding out his arm to shake. Heidrek did the same grabbing onto Silus' forearm. "Ironguard wasn't it?" he questioned, "Those were the good days, I wish I could feel that Orc's skull crush in my hands again." he replied as the two men shook arms. "As for your placement, ya I recommended you take my place, you weren't a half bad leader back then, and you have been making quite a name for yourself. At least this way I can see to it that you don't get yourself killed biting off more than you can chew. Heidrek added before letting go of Silus' arm, "A few of your men are already here, I'm sure you will see them soon enough. But for now make yourself at home. go find yourselves some empty rooms upstairs and then get ready to eat." Heidrek said before returning to the kitchen. Iris looked over at Silus still being mad at him she stormed off up the stairs to find her room. Silus waited a bit to give her a head start before going to find his own room.
