[IC] Fae Wild (Always Open)

[Eviledd1984]

The land was clam for the most part and the waring lands were planning and sending scouts to oversee what was going on.The king of Bravado was sending for Xavier his most prized warrior to come forth and would be given his next task.Soon enough the young mute man cam into the throne room bowing his head to the king in respect which he did have for his king."Xavier please you do not need to do that..." The jolly looking said looking amused lifting his hand up for Xavier to stand up once more.

Xavier stood up on his feet with a soft child like smile on his face and listened to what his king had to say,The king instructed him to go by himself this time which struck odd to Xavier to track down a Meche spy and bring him him to the king to stand trail.With his task told to him he nodded his head and headed outside,The king leaned into to whisper something to his advisory to keep a eye on Xavier.

---------------------

Meanwhile the king of Escudo had summoned his men to come forth,He had a task for them to capture ALIVE a Bravado solider.This king was a bit more cruel then most and was well known for this,So this would be a strange thing to hear coming form the most brutal king since Rumbustious II of Escudo some forty years ago.

Once his men had came into the room he told his men the person that should be captured,A mute solider but not any solider one of Bravado's highest ranking men named Xavier.He told a few more details like trying to capture a Meche spy whom he wanted alive also so they can either be convinced to join or rot in Escudo jail which would not be very nice.

"I have told you all you need to know now go with haste" He said to his men waving his hand to the door behind them.

Alexander was walking back to Escudo, returning from a day of searching for work. He was obviously tired, spending more than ten hours running around. As he returned to the city, he noticed a commotion. He heard "Xavier" being thrown around often. Xavier? Who is he? Alexander thought to himself. He returned to his estate, removing his armor and changing into more comfortable clothing. Alexander then left and set out to the tavern to get a drink and catch up on some of the latest rumors.

@jaybreezy

"Ello Alexander was was your day today?" The barmaid named Jane with a smile on her face,"The usually i would guess?What did the king make ya do today?" She asked him filling up a large mug filled with his favorite mead.The folks around him were talking about a mute solider that was a monster in the battlefield and another rumor of a orc in Escudo that was a exiled prince of his tribe.

-----------------

Meanwhile Xavier was riding on his black horse named "Raknor" riding towards Merche,He knew this would make him a target but knew that Bravado and Meche have a alliance and would not want to break their alliance because of him.He would not want to break this himself he liked the peace and wanted peace to the land and thought his king would be the one to bring peace.

He made his way onto the main road towards Meche thinking of what he would do when he finds the spy,Would he have to fight him he didn't want kill him since the king wanted the spy alive.

Alexander smiled, always happy to see Jane at the tavern. "Ah, yes, The usual indeed." He said, watching her fill the mug. "I was ordered to clear out Blackwater Cave. There was a bear too close to the path to the city." He replied to her. He listened as he heard the gossip going around. That must be Xavier. Alexander thought, piecing the small bits of stories together.

[Treshan]

In Meche nobody cared about the rumors of spy, Especially Astador who Just Wake up. He dressed up and then, as a Captain gave every Guard his Point he will Protect. Astador decided to give Main Gate to himself, because there was rumors that somebody important will enter the Town today. Astador wanted to make Upper Captain proud.

One of the merchants missed his papers and after not letting him in, tryed to hit Astador with a knife, Thankfully for Eagle eye of Astador, he saw the knife before impact, grabbed his Arm and disarmed him. Another situation when death almost looked into his eyes. Caravan leader will not be glad.

His coffers more noticeably empty than usual Kormac was travelling in rural Bravado rather than his usual haunt of the Meche countryside. He sets up camp in a field outside of town, paying the farmer for the land with the last of his coppers. He sets up his mobile tavern with lamps illuminating the field to dispel darkness and several small boxes loaned from the farmhouse as makeshift tables.

Once done with his preparation he takes a small bundle of flyers into the town. Written upon it the name of several choice craft ales unlikely to have made it through the parts. For those peasants unable to read he also has scribbled a small map showing the way to his encampment. Though before he gives them out he makes his way first to the local tavern, hoping to enter a partnership for his short stay rather than conflicting with local business. His club is hidden under his long coat, he doesn't intend to use it.

[Sickle-cell]

It was a lovely day in Bravado. Clear skies, a nice cool breeze, and a lack of warmth in the sun which gave the air that perfect crisp coldness to it. Velethuil smiled to himself, seeing a lonely young woman sitting on a bench. Grabbing a handful of flowers from the passing garden, he offered them to her. Face lighting up, she took the flowers gently, nodding her appreciation to the man. In doing so, however, placing her in his debt. Something to cash in on later, he thought, merrily.

"Enjoying yourself, Faerie?" With the bitter tone coming from behind, he caught sight of four cloaked figures in dark, earthy brown leather armour. Velethuil had seen their kind before. Hunters.

Continuing to walk, he allowed the smile to widen. "Why, yes. The skies are blue, the air is cool, and the people are stupid. What more can one ask for-"

The tip of a crossbow bolt glinted in the sun as one of the figures drew the weapon from underneath his cloak. With a small chuckle, the Fae spun on his heel, and clicked his fingers. A blast of frigid air burst from the ground beneath their feet, covering the street in a fine mist. Velethuil ducked into a nearby alleyway, and his form melted away with Faerie Glamour, leaving a woman in his place. The same ice-blue hair, now in a bob cut, and a dark blue and black dress reaching down to her knees. Stumbling through the cloud, coughing and spluttering, she fell into the arms of a hunter, also in a coughing fit.

The man looked bewildered. "Did you see where he went, girl?" Seemingly unable to speak, being robbed of breath from the ice-cold air, she could only nod and point to the alley. Taking off with a great deal of enthusiasm, the four hunters vanished. Velethuil promptly stopped coughing, and wandered down the street from the way he had come, not yet undoing the glamour. Instead, the woman's form simply pulled the jacket in hand on over her shoulders and sauntered down the street.

The skies are blue, the air is cool.

The people are stupid.

Let them chase hearsay and rumours for a while, he thought. Passing the girl, still sitting on the bench clasping the flowers tightly to her chest, Velethuil smiled at her again. To the woman, he was an entirely different person this time around. I have a banquet to attend.

[Eviledd1984]

@jaybreezy

"Oh wow that sounds...dangerous,Glad you are here with the living" The barmaid smiled handing him the somewhat heavy mead filled glass."So does the king have any other orders for ya?Don't want to see a scratch on that pretty face of yours" She said flirting with him now attending to another patron who was flirting with her but she ignored it.

The murmurs were getting a bit louder with another rumor of the mute warrior murdering a hundred Escucdo warriors.

-----------------------

@HopelesRomantis

Xavier was riding his horse down the long dirt road wanting to have people stare at him with their eyes,Noticing a caravan it was empty and he wanted to buy some items. Dismounting off his horse bringing the horse with him looking into the empty trailer wondering if anyone was inside.Tapping on the wooden panel of the trailer with his armored hand letting out a soft child like moan since he couldn't speak.

---------------------------

@Sickle-cell

The banquet would be at a noble's house named Lavquie who along with the other nobles would be discuses what they would be doing to deal with the rising criminal actions in the town.

[jaybreezy]

@Eviledd1984

Alexander laughed a bit and nodded. "It wasn't all that bad." He said, rubbing a claw wound on his shoulder. He smirked as she heard the flirt from the beautiful barmaid. "I have one more task...to talk to him later for a special task. Not sure what it is." He said, watching her move across the tavern and serve people.

[Eviledd1984]

@jaybreezy

Once she was done serving the patrons of the bar she came back to Alexander taking care of the bar while her boss Cad was serving patrons drinks."Weird im sure it's to take care of a giant rat or something" Jane smiled to the other man.She took a quick break for their conversation to serve a patron obviously drunk another drink while trying to grope Jane who would have none of that.

[Sickle-cell]

Approaching the opulent palace, it was truly a sight to behold. After freshening up after the hi-jinks of earlier - and finally undoing the glamour - Velethuil strode along to Lavquie's abode. The guards checked the list before waving him in. If the outside was impressive, then the inside stole the words from even his mouth. Golden chandeliers, elaborate jeweled sculptures and lavish fabrics covered every nook and cranny of the expansive room. Servants wandered around offering guests hors d'oeuvres and wine. A passing girl held the tray in Velethuil's direction, who politely refused. Being a Fae and all, the small bag at his side held a selection of wines and food brought from home.

As the night drew on and the guests became steadily more drunk, everyone was seated around a large mahogany table, with Lavquie at the head. Tonight was about some kind of crime wave sweeping the city. The topic didn't interest him all that much, but it was a nice way to pass the time. Food of all shapes and sizes were brought out onto the table as a plethora of wondrous smells filled the air. Sending a small token of appreciation to this evening's host meant that partaking in the meal would balance the deal fairly. Velethuil didn't mind, though, as it looked delicious.

[Eviledd1984]

@Sickle-cell

During the course of the parties they were rumors of a solider that had a high price on his head and another rumor of a woman in Bravado that was the cardinal's lover and was part of The Holy Order Of St.Jerika. Later into the night Velethuil could see his a woman wearing a golden dress and looked beautiful.

"Hello...i am sorry to bother you milord but i was wondering if you wanted to dance?" She asked him with a smile,The music form the musician group was getting louder and more vibrate.

[jaybreezy]

@Eviledd1984

Alexander laughed yet again from the banter they exchanged. "Probably." He said. He looked at her go deal with some patrons. He stood up as he saw the grope and looked at Jane. "Need some help?" He asked, taking a step towards her. Alexander was more relaxed in taverns, but he would glady brawl if necessary.

[Eviledd1984]

@jaybreezy

"Ummm it's no problem...im just havin...we're having some fun so don't worry" The patron said shaking his head now rubbing Jane's upper thigh,"Umm look i don't want any trouble" Jane said to both the Patron and The Alexander.Her face betrayed her looking away form Alex showing that wanted Alex to intervene.

[Sickle-cell]

Gossip was a wonderful thing. Even the smallest piece of information filtered through lips loosened by alcohol could be devastating when used by the right person. One of the reason why gathering like this was always something Velethuil made time for. That and the general misplaced arrogance of the Bravado noblemen and women. Still, one of the more graceful guests had caught his eye. More than that, even, when she had outright approached him and asked to dance. Something the Fae had mastered over countless years. He offering a hand with a sweeping bow.

"I assure you, my dear, it would take far more than that to bother me. Dancing with you would be a pleasure." She took his hand, and the two made their way to the floor, waltzing to the soothing music drifting out from the band.

[jaybreezy]

@Eviledd1984

Alexander couldn't stand to see Jane be felt up and set his mug down. He walked over to the man who was giving her trouble. "Alright. Leave." Alexander commanded, trying to take a simple and more quiet approach. Alexander wasn't the type to jump to violence.

[Eviledd1984]

@Sickle-cell

"Thank you..." She said blushing when she took his hand and got onto the dance floor with him,The music started to get more lively as the two started to dance together. The young noble woman held onto Velethuil waist for support,"I am glad i am dancing with you...this might sound strange but i had a crush on you for sometime..and i was wondering also if you wanted to go to dinner after this dance?" The young woman whispered in his ear for only him to hear.

---------------------

@jaybreezy

"Piss off this is a two only party..." The patron was now ignoring Alexander and groping Jane,"Please stop..." Jane whispered now feeling more distressed.The bar man had his hand below the counter to pull out a crossbow and would be a good time for Alexander to attack or make sure he would stop.

[jaybreezy]

@Eviledd1984

Without hesitation, Alexander swiftly kicked the crossbow as he looked at the man reach for it. He smirked and looked at him. "Leave. Before I have to get violent." Alexander ordered, clenching his hands into fists.

[Eviledd1984]

@jaybreezy

"I don't any trouble in my bar and my bar maiden's to be harassed so piss of or their will be trouble" The bar man said ignoring Alex and was speaking to the groping Patron."Go away old man before i beat ya silly..." The patron now rubbing the bar maid's leg making her try to move away form him.

[jaybreezy]

@Eviledd1984

Fed up with seeing this borderline molestation, Alexander picked the man up and pushed him against the wall. "Listen here, pal. I'd advise you to leave before I beat you silly." He said, ready to throw him to the floor if he resisted. He didn't want to make the scene worse, but this man was getting on his nerves.
