Sodsa Hekal, outside the City

Sodsa slowed up as he reached the city gates and when the stable hands saw his mount he got a surprised look. "Yeah whatever just take it." Sodsa dismounted and tossed a couple of coins their direction. Sodsa saw the group he was suppose to meet with and walked on over, "Ya know, sorry for missing everything, but i was just told by the countess to meet up with you guys, that was it. So, because I missed whats goin' on, would anyone mind repeating the whole ordeal?

Jonathan shook his head slowly, chuckled softly as Rann walked away. There was always someone like Rann in any situation, good sort of guy of course, but a little to defensive. Jonathan hadn't even made a decision regarding Satyana, sure she was a beautiful girl, much like Dalrus, but they've had a few conversations and that was thus far the extent of their relationship.

However, he did notice Sodsa finally catching up with the party, "Hows that shoulder friend?"

Sodsa Hekal

"Ah hey." Sodsa glanced at the afore mentioned shoulder. "It stings when i move it too much, but, other then that, it isn't too bad." Sodsa sat on a fence and continued, "So, where are we heading to now?"

Satyana

Satyana was satisfied with *Jonathan being not so far away from her, thus she was aware of a kind of protectiveness from Rann which in fact pleased her very much. She noticed with a faint smile that Rann took Jonathan aside and she understood fairly well what kind of conversation they must have had.

She proceeded towards her brother...

"Rann, I´ve decided a name for my stallion" she said with a smile, "Thor, the Stormbringer, the name of an ancient Nordic God, the God of Thunder...strong and steady..it´s suitable, don´t you think?" She stroke the Mane of the black stallion....

"By the way, where is Rahvin...I thought he would accompany us?"



Brianna, on her way

Brianna sat by the railng of the rickety ship that was destined for Old Ebonheart......led by the voices in her head she knew she had to go west.....for a very long time and yet she had no idea why....

Flogir

Flogir handed over the reins to his mule to the stablehand, tossing him some septims. He rubbed his behind to get the feeling of sitting in a saddle for a long period of time out of his body. He perfered sitting in his cart more than riding, but he decided he would survive.

Upon hearing Rann's question, Flogir voiced his answer. "I'm willing to take it easy tonight as well. Sitting in a saddle then going to a library for a long time doesn't sound like an ideal day to me. I would rather have a smokey tavern and some ale. Oh yea, and welcome back, Bosmer. Glad to hear your shoulder is okay."

Ian

With Issac in tow, Ian walked through the doorway. The grand vista of the surrounding countryside welcomed them. Taking in a deep breathe he noticed the others had already arrived, and had stabled their horses. Very good, now that they're here.....

Ian waved down to the group and called them up to the gates.......

Flint Ironwood, Arcane university. (Eh, wrong place?)

Flint noticed the group arrive. He left the university through the same way as he arrived. Stalking through the streets, he soon reached his companions. There, he leaned against a wall, hidden from view by the dark shadows.
,,I wonder who those two are." The Breton thought as he saw two men approach.

Brianna, now in the great forrest, the Chorrol area

The last week had been relatively calm for Brianna, just riding across the plains of Cyrodiil, only stopping for stretching her legs, eating and getting a few hours sleep. Now she was approaching the great Forrest outside Chorrol and she decided to be more watchful....why she didn´t know, but the Forrest looked a bit dark and there could be assassins hiding for all she´d know.

She made a final stop just before entering the Forrest, checking out her longbow and arrows. She made a small campfire and cooked some stew on a couple of scribs she had hunted down. She managed to get a few hours of sleep before she entered the woods, on a chilly morning. The sun was barely up, and it was rather cold so she put her cloak tighter around her and set out on the small winding road leading through the Forrest

The Forrest was silent so she jumped in the saddle when she thought she heard the sound of a dry piece of wood cracking as if someone had stepped on it..

She stopped......and listened, in the same time trying to calm her mare down

"Shush Starshine....it´s nothing" she whispered into the horse´s ear

Ayesha
Near Chorrol

Ayesha watched in silence as the sunrise was appearing inbetween the thick forest, it was all so quiet. Ayesha stood and watched for a minute, taking a deep breath as the air was refreshing and cool in the morning hours. She continued heading against Chorrol as she knew she would need a bed and some food soon, her journey had been tiring.
Coming closer to Chorrol she soon heard the familiar sound of a horse, the sound becoming clearer as she kept on walking. Ayesha didn't have any difficulties knowing that this was only one horse.

Ayesha crouched down on the roadside. She already had her fine bow in her hand and a arrow inbetween her finger tips, slowly she raised the bow and let the arrow slide on. Her past wouldn't stop taking control, would it ever? The ways of the mercenaries and assassins came crawling through her toughts, she knew she was in desperate need of a horse.
As the sound came closer she walked out into the middle of the road with her bow pointing downwards and raised her head and looked towards the person appearing over the small hill in front of her.

Brianna, on the path in the forrest near Chorrol

Suddelly Starshine rose on her back legs and neighed loudly.....there was a...person standing on the narrow road, pointing at her with an aimed bow.....

Brianna gasped and rose one hand, palm upwards, a sign of peace

"Please."...she whispered.."Don´t...don´t kill me..what do you want from me?" She dismounted Starshine, but remained standing beside the mare



So this is how it will end? Shot down in the forrest by......A WOMAN?



OOC: Thoughts are in italics as usual, Fuzzy!

Ayesha
Near Chorrol

Ayesha's eyes caught the sign of peace by the woman before she dismounted. It was at this moment she was trained to let go off the arrow, every other thought should be irrelevant - but she held back. She turned her head sideways, loosing eye contact with the woman for a few moments before she lowered her bow slowly...

"All I need is your horse, nothing more" Ayesha said out loud and clear but there was a small shiver in her tone as she was afraid this could go wrong.

Brianna, near Chorrol

"You want my horse?..well I´m afraid you won´t have much use of her...she´s very bound to me, she´ll throw you off in a second" Brianna smiled.

The woman..or rather girl in front of her looked tired and hungry....kind of desperate really. Brianna felt sorry for her..

"Now tell me..are you hungry? I´ve got some scrib-stew left.....and a bottle of comberry wine as well,..."

She hoped to manage to get contact with the girl, she did seem unsecure and vulnerable in a way.....

"Are you heading for Chorrol? We could go together and if you´re tired you could ride Starshine...I´ll have to tell her to behave first of course!"

Brianna opened her satchel slowly careful not to cause the girl to fire off that ghastly bow of hers

"I´m Brianna Sarethi by the way" she added.....sensing that feeling again....that she was repeating a homework. the name Brianna did not ring a bell inside her....it still doesn´t.....


When will I learn who I really am?

Rann

"The horse's name would make more sense if it could hurl lightning bolts." he joked.

"Rahvin as in my dad?" he asked, no matter the uselessness of the question. "Yeah, he has important work to do, and with me gone, he has half the manpower to do it already. If he came too, his spot would be vacant." he answered vaguely, not really giving away his job. There was no easy way to tell your sister that you killed for a living, no matter how justified.

For the dual reasons of responding to Flogir and changing the subject away from his job, he replied to Flogir. "A tavern it is, then. Why not the Blaoted Float? I always liked the inn on a ship thing."

All he was really doing was getting an excuse to head for the waterfront.

Flogir

Flogir smirked at hearing the Bloated Float being mentioned. It was located in the rough district of the Imperial City, known as the Waterfront. Granted the size of the party, Flogir thought the placed seemed ideal. There was always interesting conversations to be made at the Waterfront.

"Sounds like a good place to me," Flogir said, agreeing with Rann.

Flint Ironwood, coming out of the shadows.

Flint had seen enough. He stepped out of the shadows, removing his hood as he did so he wouldn't appear as a threat.
,,Hi there. Are you two the welcome comité?" He asked the two men. While they seemed to be at ease, Flint noticed the distinct style of moving that was bred into thieves, assassins and other sneaky types. The style of moving that could get them out of any kind of trouble.
,,Must be important, to send the elite ones."

Ian

As the group approached, an older nord spoke up. "To a degree, I hear you all want to head to the waterfront first?" He replied, with an icy edge.

Satyana

"Haha" she laughed, "Who knows...he might be able to throw lightning bolts, you know!"

"Well of course as in your dad, silly," she continued, "I just feel good about him, wanting him to be around, he makes me feel secure.....whatever his task may be!"

The last sentence she added in a whisper.....supposing Ran wouldn´t like anyone else to hear.....

She followed the others, not minding wherever they were heading, that was ok for her, besides, the Waterfront sounded alright.

"Bloated Float, is it a good place? " she asked politely

Ayesha
Near Chorrol

Ayesha stood there in a moment, unsure of what to do but then she took the arrow of the bow and guided it down into her quiver gently. She was surprised how kind the woman was, killing her wouldn't help her as it would only help promote her dark past. She fell on her knees and leaned forward, putting her bow aside and taking a deep breath. She hadn't had much to eat or drink for the last couple of days, with the little gold she had she couldn't even get shelter for the night in the taverns.

OOC: At this stage my character seems deeply distrubed, which she is.. lol

Brianna

Brianna watched the girl sink to her knees....apparently exhausted and hungry..

Poor girl, I´ll take her with me to the nearest town....should be Chorrol I think, we might get some food and somewhere to spend the night

She took out a chunk of bread and handed it to the girl, together with her water-pouch.

"Here..take this, it will keep you alive till we get to Chorrol, you can ride, I´ll walk beside, I can do with a bit of excercise"

"You haven´t told me your name yet ....or do you choose not to?, It´s ok with me , I won´t push you"

As if I would push anyone.....I who don´t even know who I am...


OOC: Fuzz! feel free to let them reach Chorrol in your next post!

Jonathan Constantine

"My a bit touchy there, whats tangled in your knickers?" Jonathan laughed walking forward through the gates of the city. He used to live outside of the capitol and knew his way just fine.
