Rue

Time: Dawn > Morning
Location: Inn by the Sea, Riverport
Interaction: @Helo Bowyn
Equipment: Small backpack, two knives, rations, water flask, hygiene products, new outfit

Rue had slept until dawn and stared at the ceiling once she had. The sun was beginning to rise and sunlight poured through the curtains, bathing her room in its glory. She sighed as memories of the sun on the snow in the village raced through her mind. Seagulls cries and the regular port noise startled her out of her reverie. Frowning, she sat up in bed and recalled where she was once more. Her mind raced with the previous night events and she bit her lip. Were Bowyn and Arn okay? Had the dwarf felt abandoned? Would Bowyn accept her after she left him with strangers? Oh no, what if he was mad at her? Groaning, she glanced around and over the edge of her bed. Moony was dozing on the floor beside her, though she knew he was still alert.

Deciding to allow him sleep, Rue swung her legs over the bed and quietly stood up. She went and tidied herself up in the bathroom and changed into her new outfit once finished. She glanced down at herself and frowned. It was more open than she would have preferred, but the cloaked ensemble would be too heavy for this weather. At least it had inside shorts so flying wouldn't be a problem. Her heart ached for the colder, snowy mountains. You have a job to do, Rue. You can go back sooner than you think! Won't your village be proud? She scrunched her wet hair so it hung in messy waves and then swiftly exited the room with her backpack and knives.

Outside in the market square, it was beginning to become busy with activity. She bought some meat for Moonlight, paid for it; next, she brought a bowl and used the sink to fill it. Once she returned, she found a glowering and anxious Moonlight pacing back and forth. She swallowed and shuffled her feet, then shut the door. ”I went and bought you food and water. I wasn’t gone that long.”

”Any time you spend out of my sight is too much. Please don’t do that again.” He replied as she readied his breakfast on a mat in her room. She sighed and brushed hair as he gave her a reproachful look and began eating. Rue cleaned her hands quickly and skeptically looked around the room, as if blaming it for their fight last night.

”Okay. You’re right, I’m sorry.” He nodded in agreement, accepting, and continued eating. Rue glanced again in the mirror with a frown as her wolf looked up, now finished eating. ”Is this too much?”

”Considering you’re used to the snow, yes.” He drank water and then after finishing, added, ”You’ll melt in that other one.”

Rue sighed in agreement. He was one wise wolf, her mother had always said. She strode over to the window and glanced outside as she noticed the hustle and bustle of the Riverport town. Rue deliberated a bit longer before her stomach protested and she could no longer ignore it. ”Time to go, Moon. Let’s see if we can find Bowyn and Arn. But maybe just Bowyn for now would be best. I don’t think they’ll be friendly yet. But I’m hoping we can fix it!” She smiled at the idea and went to the door as Moonlight joined her.

He sniffed the air and glanced at her. ”Bowyn is outside. He smells like alcohol so I don’t know what state he’s in.”

Rue bit her lip, adding the information together and sighed. She took a deep breath and opened the door with a cheerful smile. ”Good morning!” She greeted, ”Ready for breakfast? I am!” She managed a playful giggle as she leaned against the doorway. Then, she added with a grin, unable to help herself, ”I’m as hungry as a wolf.”

Ambience


The group had traveled silently throughout the night into Myriamor. Rosaria slept for a few hours then awoke quite suddenly. She felt something soft and tucked under her and glanced over. The carriage curtain had been moved under her like a pillow. A small smile crept over her face as she recognized the work. Her gaze darted to Nuallán as she nodded her appreciation. The poor dear had been awake the whole time. After checking on everyone, she ordered him to rest. She knew how seriously he was concerned and cared for her, and she returned the gesture. She stood up quietly so as not to wake anyone and asked him to trade places so he could rest his head like she had. This meant she was next to the still sleeping Jomari, whom she was giving him his space. She turned her back ever so slightly to him and commenced sharpening her arrows.

Once they arrived in Myriamor, Rosaria gently woke everyone. She was kind to Jomari by allowing him to move out ahead of her before joining him out of the carriage. Next she graciously thanked the driver and paid him a total of 250 amas for his help. It was dawn now, but she knew shops weren’t yet so she was allowing them to explore. Rosaria had a pep to her step while her eagerness to meet Mikazuki was noticeable. She glanced around as they passed by stalls and moved slowly so the humans could immerse themselves. Rose noted a few of them she’d later buy from. Sudden running made her heart skip a beat and pulled the humans aside as two demi-cheetahs sprinted passed at maximum speed. For a moment she watched them with shock and then started laughing. She whispered to the humans with amusement shining in her eyes, ”This is a town rich with demihuman felines. You’ll find more snakes and scorpion demis here, among others. It’s a very friendly town where freedom is highly valued so you’ll find this happening occasionally. Stay close to me please,”

Rosaria glanced around until her gaze rested on Myriamor’s Bed & Breakfast and ushered them forward. Once inside she found rooms where they were able to drop off their extra luggage; then proceeded down to the dining area and found them a private dining area with extra space for Mika and her group. She helped the humans order their food and glanced around at everyone. ”What do you think of Myriamor?” She remained relaxed and attentive, though once or twice her gaze settled on the doorway.

Rue remained silent while the group spoke. She didn’t confirm or deny Bowyn’s comments about taming wild beasts. Truth to be told, she had befriended many of the animals in the village. The light elf, Kaleb, seemingly knew Arn and they spent time discussing it. She didn’t interject, as the prospect of speaking more in front of him was causing her to blanche. Moony kept close to her side as she fell into place next to Bowyn. Her wolf suddenly tensed and gave her a stern look, which Rue returned questioningly. She didn't have to wait too long to figure out why; there was commotion up ahead which she couldn’t see.

A red-haired light elf joined, linking her arm with Kaleb’s and offering food. Her explanation caused Rue to furrow her brows. Sighing, she turned away and remained quiet. The unknown was making her nervous. What did she believe? Her temple began to throb as she contemplated everything. She bit her lip as a wave of dizziness swept over her and felt her forehead which was clammy. Knowing the inevitable had happened, she turned from the group and paused, trying to collect herself to no avail. ”I do apologize, but I don’t feel well and must return to the Inn. It was lovely meeting you all. I hope to talk to you soon.” Rue shot Bowyn an apologetic look as she quickly moved ahead and was lost to the crowd. Within a few minutes she made it back to her room, shut and locked the door, then collapsed on the bed, with Moonlight standing guard.

Saoirse laughed at Annya’s comment. She had eyed the third outfit with a grimace. What poor soul would buy it? After Annya thrust the amas down onto the counter and gave the man a snappy retort, he responded with one of his own. Shae raised her eyebrows and folded her arms. Did he not know who he was talking to? What a sad piece of shit. She opened her mouth to speak, but Annya handled it herself. She took Raven and her hands and Shae nodded in reply to her question.

”Yeah that would be - “ she began to reply and was interrupted by the sound of shattering glass. She whirled around to find the shopkeeper had smashed a bottle of alcohol and was picking up a club. She would have been able to let it go, except a memory was tugging at the back of her mind. Fire dashed through Saoirse's eyes as an unusually cold and callous glare spread across her face. She clenched her fists, set her outfit down and advanced on the shopkeeper. She utilized self control over her element, knowing that if she used it, there would be more trouble. She looked to be trembling, whether from anger or fear, it was hard to tell, yet it was unmistakable that he had crossed a line in her eyes.

Without a word, Saoirse smacked him across the face then quickly pinned both his arms against the wall behind him. She kept her foot over his and kneed him in the groin hard. ”You won’t be needing that anymore.” She watched as he would double over in pain and then grabbed him around the middle and slammed him onto the concrete. She quickly jumped on his back, grabbing the club and tossing it to Annya to catch so he wouldn’t use it against them. Saoirse quickly pinned him to the ground, using a combination of feet, knees, and her arms, while one arm held a knife out the back of his throat. The cool metal would be against his throat and unmistakable.

”Let’s get something straight, you little bastard.” Her voice was calm, but it sounded more menacing than if she had shouted. ”You will never catcall or harass another one of your buyers or even speak to my friends and I again. You will not throw alcohol at anyone else again, or I’m going to make you wish you hadn’t been born which by the looks of it, maybe you already wish that. I could always make it come true. Your name is handy, is it? I’m handy with a knife - do you want to see the cool tricks I have?” She twisted his one arm back painfully, but not enough to sprain or fracture it and pressed the cool metal against his skin, but not enough to puncture it. She glanced up at Annya and Raven with venom in her eyes and a cold fury she was clearly struggling to contain.

Rue

Time: Dusk
Location: Inn by the Sea
Interaction: @Helo Bowyn, @Omni5876 Arn, & @FunnyGuy Kaleb
Equipment: Small backpack, two knives, rations, water flask, hygiene products

Rue floated over Riverport, attracting far too much attention then she preferred. She instead focused on finding Bowyn. It wasn’t easy; there were people everywhere - demis, elves, orcs, dwarves, and forest fairies. She had never seen some of these species until her recent adventure. Slightly curious, she perched on the side of a roof to watch the passerby. Her gaze flickered over a rather unusual trio; a red haired elf woman with waist length firebrick red hair, a towering green orc assembled with various weapons, and a tall, slender feline demihuman with a rather punk but interesting ensemble. As though feeling her gaze, the feline turned and stared at her. Rue quickly looked away and down to find Moonlight waiting at the edge of the shop patiently. She smiled at him to assure him there wasn’t any harm. She didn't care glance in their direction again; something about that glare had sent shivers down her spine....

Then, Arn’s voice reached her as he began to separate himself. Thoroughly confused, Rue watched him point to himself and the street. She frowned and silently understood. With a sigh, she watched him depart and felt a twinge of relief; at least Bowyn wouldn’t run away now when she approached. However the sight of him leaving tug at her heartstrings. Poor Arn. She had a gut feeling he meant good; but what Bowyn said made her flinch as she recalled it. Maybe she did trust too easily… Maybe the letter she had wasn’t so noble after all either. Maybe she was just an average little winter fairy being sent off to die. She gritted her teeth and pushed the thoughts out of her head. No. She didn’t have any reason to distrust him or the letter. Rue let out an irritated sigh and growl that caused Moony and one passerby of Elves to glance upwards with curiosity. She managed a mixture of a scowl and a smile which sent them running. She frowned more and stood back up. The longer she sat up here, the farther he could be.

Rue took a few steps back and then hurtled into the air, catching Moony by surprise. He jogged easily to keep up with her and followed. Passerby made room for the odd duo until she spotted him… with a light elf? She frowned; did Bowyn know him? The two talked rather animatedly, as if they had known another. She’d have to find out wouldn’t she? And if he didn’t, wouldn’t his words come back to haunt him? No, it was Bowyn, and she trusted him; but the wound was still fresh. She gritted her teeth as her temples began to throb. She glanced at Moony and descended to land gracefully beside him in a rather deserted spot. Making sure her wings didn’t disrupt anyone’s space, she folded them against her back. Forcing a smile onto her face, she approached the duo as people parted to allow the wolf by with curious glances.

”Hey there!” she greeted as she forced cheeriness into her voice. She forced a smile and clasped her hands together. Her wings poked out over her shoulder despite being folded. Think Rue! Say something else! But she was caught off guard at the newcomer and wasn’t sure what to make of him, so she glanced in Bowyn's direction. Hurt still reflected in her eyes, but her cheeriness and forced smile was making up for it. Unbeknownst to her, her eyes were still red. She turned to Moony and patted his head as she glanced in the light elf’s direction, unable to meet his gaze. ”He’s safe, don’t worry. He won’t - err - attack you.” She stroked his head as she thought to herself, Unless I asked him too. Darn it, why did I say that? It was so stupid! Her insides squirmed and her gaze flickered between the fae and the light elf, awaiting whatever came next.

Saoirse followed Annya up to the shop stand and raised her eyebrows. Vivacious Vixens was the name? She rolled her eyes as he began trying to flirt and offer them a side deal. Saoirse had dealt with people like this before and it took all of her willpower not to bite back. Fortunately, Annya wasn’t putting up with his shit either. She snickered as the man relented and Annya turned to apologize to them both. She waved off her apologies and eyed the outfits. Her gaze flickered between the first and the second outfit.

Chewing her lip, she finally pointed at the first outfit. It looked like something she could run, fight, and climb in. She turned to Annya and replied, ”Outfit one please. It looks like something I could fight or run in better than anything else. And don't worry, I'm used to idiots like these.” Her voice was quiet as she gestured in the direction of the shopkeeper. Saoirse turned to watch a brown haired male with blonde hair at the top walk by and vaguely recognized him; although his ears didn’t seem like a human’s. However, that was what disguises were for. Shrugging, she turned back to Annya. ”Next up, food and alcohol, right?” She couldn't help but let out a grin at the last statement. She glanced at the man and thought about stealing his stock, but that would only make a scene. Sighing, she resorted to waiting for Annya’s response and turned her back to him as to give him the cold shoulder. Nothing pissed off creeps like ignoring them.

When Nuallán offered her some of the pocky-stick, Rosaria gingerly took it. She examined it and then sniffed it. Judging by his reaction, it tasted delicious. She took a bite and eagerly continued to eat the rest of it until it was gone. ”Wow, that was delicious. Thanks Sophie!” She then nodded in agreement to Nuallán. She turned to Sophie and then shook her head. ”I am not as good as you, Sophie. You have a talent in art.” She listened to her explanation of the substance Caelan was smoking with raised eyebrows. ”Oh that’s interesting. Thank you for sharing.”

She then let out a yawn and scowled at herself. How could she act tired in front of them? How rude of her! She began to carefully take out her arrows and a knife where she began to sharpen the tip of the arrow, turning it away from others so she wouldn’t hurt them. However, her vision was blurred by her tiredness. Scowling, she set her items away and glanced at Nuallán intensely. Rosaria knew in her heart she could trust him and everyone, besides Jomari, would be safe. ”Clearly I need some rest. I trust you to look after everyone. Remember, the humans come first,” She tiredly rested her head against the curtain on the window and succumbed to sleep.

Saoirse turned her attention from the seagulls to the fairy who’d flown out the window. Curiously she watched as Annya’s explanation summarized their existence. How fascinating, thought Shae who had only briefly read fantasy books. With her chaotic childhood, she hadn’t been able to keep up with her peers. She turned her attention to Raven and raised her eyebrows at the word ‘alcohol’. Finally something they could agree on, she smirked to herself and ignored the pang in her chest.

However her reasoning for it was not what she had hoped. Shae didn’t know what to say, as the nerd had likely never faced true danger. She didn’t know what to say or do, so she nodded in agreement. After Annya detailed the plan, Shae nodded. ”Good plan,” she replied and then avoided eye contact with Raven. Kharne called Annya using the transmission bracelet, or knockoff telephone as Shae called it. Saoirse couldn’t wait to head to the Blacksmith but first, a new outfit and alcohol, the latter being her favorite.

When Arn announced they could search for Bowyn together, Rue was delighted. She grinned at him with a lopsided smile half filled with tears she forced back. After saying he didn’t mind her flying, Rue nodded and set her cape in the room as the weight would hinder her flight. Arn’s words saying he had a part in the mess rang true., but she was too afraid to admit it. She glanced at him quickly then away as she commented, ”Moonlight is his name, but I call him Moony. I’ll make sure not to fly too fast.” She took steps back into the room, then raced forward and unfurled her wings and flapped them for momentum. She noticed a few of the residents staring at her with awe and surprise, but Rue ignored them.

Moonlight hustled down the steps, taking a few at a time, until he ran out the open door. Rue mimicked him, but instead of going through the door, Rue flew through an open window instead. She would have gone down the steps but she hated to waste anymore time. Besides, her wings ached for flight after being cramped up in the Helius.

Once airborne, Rue felt a chill against her face which instantly helped relax her. She instantly began searching for Bowyn’s white hair amongst the crowd; and then glanced down to find Moonlight right underneath her and staring at her for her next command. ”Keep searching,” She called to Moonlight, who nodded, and then she glanced back for Arn.

Rosaria smiled as Nuallán spoke. His dedication and commitment to the royal family was something she always admired. However she treated him as a friend more than a butler; she did not want him ever feeling uncomfortable. Her attention was caught by Jomari, whose mumble she barely heard. She raised an eyebrow but didn’t comment. He would be difficult to contend with, but she knew patience was a virtue. She knew he had a tough life and was now asking him to do even more difficult things. Perhaps it’d be easier to loosen the leash a bit. Today had been an awful first day, and she planned on making the rest of them better. She sighed as she turned away from him and allowed him to rest. These humans were fragile and unpredictable, and Rosaria knew it was likely she’d deal with a few unwitting participants. She rubbed her temple momentarily and then stopped so the others didn’t question it.

Her attention was turned to Sophie and the pixie. When the pixie introduced herself, she smiled at her kindly. ”Nice to meet you Alette,” she replied to the pixie prior to her going to sleep on a bear hanging from Sophie’s bag. She listened with interest as Sophie explained the food item. ”That sounds really good. I’ve always enjoyed strawberries. We have some of your food back on Earth, but most are native to Avalia.” Her cheeks flushed when Sophie patted her hand after she spoke of Orias. What a sweet girl she was; Rosaria adored her.

Though Sophie didn’t have an adventurous life, she appreciated a similar soul who enjoyed art. ”That sounds great, Sophie, I enjoy art too. I would paint and draw in my free time. I wasn’t ever that good at it, but it was for fun, really. I’m glad you shared it with us and let me know if you need anything, sweetie.” She reached over and took her hand to squeeze it then let go. Rosaria knew the day had to be the hardest for her. The poor dear had been frozen in terror.

She then noticed Caelan waking up and smiled, but then stared in confusion as he took out an object and lit in fire. Curiously she watched, before the scent reached her nostrils. Wrinkling her nose, she ignored it as she accepted his response. It looked like it was similar to zemak. Caelan was an interesting boy himself, and she was curious to hear more about his life but not now. Hounding them and forcing conversation wouldn’t do. ”No worries, Caelan, I understand. I assume it’s something that makes you relax, right? What do you call it on Earth? We call it Zemak here.” She then leaned back and rested her arms as she glanced out the carriage window.

”Nearly there, everyone.” Her voice perked up at the thought of seeing her longtime friend, someone she knew, who would be bearing immense pressure herself. Rosaria swallowed and began peering for signs of any danger. After determining there was none, she relaxed and pulled the curtain back.

It was as if someone had dumped a pile of snow over her and left her outside to freeze. Rue stood, blinking, at the spot Bowyn had last been in. She had known he left, but her gaze couldn’t be pulled to watch. His words repeated in her head and she found her gaze becoming blurry. Rue touched her eyes, discovering there were tears. She blinked rapidly to clear them and took several deep breaths. Grow up. She had been told that time and time again, from many winter fae and had found it difficult. She saw them burned and cold, and hadn’t been able to succumb to it herself. Softness startled her out of her reverie. She looked down to find Moonlight at her side, alert and ready to pounce on the first thing she instructed him too. Rue patted his head as she stared down at him. Their conversation would be difficult to understand for Arn, as he could only hear her words and not Moonlight’s.

”What happened? I sense tension and a great amount of it from you. Why has Bowyn left?”

”Arn just revealed to us he is royalty which he found out two days ago when the Twin-Headed Dragons assassinated the royals and light elf general. Bowyn’s unable to trust him now and left. I suggested fresh air and a good meal to help us. I just want us all to get along… I miss Bowyn.”

Moonlight glanced at Arn then back to her. ”Royalty is dangerous so I will keep an eye on him because it is my job to look after you. I promised your parents I would. Rue, Bowyn is not the same as he was in the village; he’s colder than the snow in our village and carries a heavy rage with him. He lost his wings and survived, that was not an easy feat. You do need to be more careful though. What if it was a trap?”

”I…I...” Rue began to stutter, but came up empty handed as her lip quivered. ”I know I can’t do this alone. I know Bowyn’s different but maybe I can help him… and Arn shouldn’t be alone. I mean, that has to be horrible to find out right? We should give him a chance. Fool me once, shame on you and then twice on me. Isn’t that the saying?”

”I appreciate your kindness and will support you, Rue, but remember this is a war and the Dark Elves will not hesitate to murder anyone they think is a rebel. You know how winter fae are extremely rare outside of the North. You are a healer and not a combative or offensive fighter. You have to protect yourself first.”

Rue wiped her eyes with her sleeve and took several deep breaths. Arn’s words replayed in her mind and she was quiet and contemplative. Staying here meant not knowing where Bowyn would go, or if Arn would return. What if they both left her alone? What if Arn was assassinated and she was sold off to the Black Market? Her thoughts began to race.

Rue nodded to herself and then turned to face Arn, but unable to look him in the eyes. She began fidgeting with her sleeves and the cloak. ”That would be kind of you. Thank you. I want to find Bowyn, but I don’t want to leave you alone… I don’t know what to do. What if he doesn't come back? I.. I don't think this is your fault.” The last line rolled off her tongue with ease, but deep down, she was conflicted on that. Had she lied? Rue bit her lip, her gaze traveling now to the door and Arn. When Bowyn returned, Arn had said, but what if he didn’t? That was possible. Bowyn was a wildcard, his personality was different, and something she’d tried ignoring. Moony was right; he was colder, and held a rage inside of him.

Going outside meant she could look for him, but what if he didn’t want to be found? What if that had been their final goodbye? Rue’s heart ached deeply, making her eyes blurry again, but she wiped them quickly. She nodded to Arn and beckoned Moonlight to accompany her. Her wings ached to take flight and Rue began to compulsively bite her nails and fidget with her cloak again ,unsure if she wanted it on or off. Moonlight stared at her questioningly, so she sighed and stopped fidgeting, unable to tear her gaze away from the Inn to look for Bowyn. "Do you mind if I fly?" Rue blurted out unexpectedly, her gaze turning to both her wolf and dwarf companion. Moonlight shook his head, knowing he could trail her no matter what transportation method she used. Her gaze returned to Arn as she struggled to keep her composure together.

Rue listened to the two men while she unpacked her belongings. It wasn’t much, but it was important to her. She slid the knives into her boot carefully, then took out a few rations. She found a small cloth in the adjacent bathroom and set her rations on it for Moony to eat from. She then examined the room to make sure it was safe and secure for them. After all, traveling here only to get mugged or worse would be disastrous. As she cleaned and tidied up the room, she vaguely heard the two men discussing something. Rue watched Moonlight finish the rations and turned to face them. As she did so, she noticed a trio of girls; two female light elves and a demi-feline. For a moment she became distracted and watched curiously. Then, her attention snapped back to the two.

Their words replayed in her mind and she frowned at them. It clicked and her eyes widened. Arn was the prince of Ironhold and hadn’t known until after the murders. Bowyn was mistrustful and cold, and Rue found herself becoming uncertain. She felt Arn staring at her, hoping for an ally, but Rue remained lost in thought. Bowyn’s and Arn’s fears were both valid concerns. He was the prince and was worried about finding out and needed to see Annya but wasn't sure what he'd do; and he had not been up front about his status. Still, as a result of the murders, Rue couldn’t blame him. Furthermore, Bowyn was worried they’d be used and discarded when they burned out. Arn didn’t seem hostile, and nor did he seem hostile. His words and earnest tone didn’t betray any deceit. Rue found herself taken aback by the bitterness and coldness of her fairy companion. He was more different than she had anticipated. She sighed as the silence intensified and Arn was starting to leave. The stress made her tear up and she found herself wanting them to return to the moment they were getting along.

”Can we stop whatever tension it is we have?” She asked quietly as she looked up with a frown. ”We all have reasons to be distrustful. Arn’s head is on the line if people find out who and what he is, and us fairies - winter fairies to be exact - have a history of being used and abused for our powers. I… I don’t see any use of us splitting up and I don’t want to either.” She glanced in Arn’s direction, unable to look him in the eye as a result of overbearing shyness. ”You're a medic, so you’d be on the battlefield helping in the fighting. Right? I don't see you being the kind to betray and use us." Rue’s voice was quiet as she waited - no, hoped for an earnest answer. She then glanced at Bowyn and added, ”I think we should all cool down and find something to eat. Maybe the fresh air and a good meal can help us.” She swung her legs over the bed side and began to compulsively eat her remaining rations.
