Tameron cast June a crooked grin. His family had needed to spend near a fortune on food, they all ate so much. If he continued to eat so well, he would be back to full strength soon. "Everyone in my family have big appetites. I don't mind hunting for my own meal if it is bothersome."

Lanai wound her way through the crowd, being careful not to touch anyone else. Touch between strangers was considered unseemly. She felt the urge to run to her lab in one of the many scientific institutes within the colony. There had been something off about the man she had run into. He didn't...

Halia considered adding more of her powder. It seemed to glitter in the light of the fire. It wasn't a seasoning, though it could also be used as such. It was blood, dried and ground into dust. It would strengthen her and her magic would last longer. She had no desire to end up like Zek. Halia...

Tameron dug into his meal. He closed his eyes in pleasure. He noticed that he had been given about twice as much as June or Halia, but couldn't be bothered to protest. He didn't want to be pitied because of where he had been and given any special treatment. As he continued his meal, he glanced...

Tameron grinned. He was starving. Hsat beside him and took a dainty bite of her meat. Her eyes were distant again. She absently pulled a bit of black powder from somewhere in her robes to sprinkle upon her food, then took another bite. He wondered what it was but turned his attention back to...

Lanai righted herself and looked at the man she had run into. He was tall, with dark hair and eyes. She tilted her head. For a moment he had seemed to have an odd accent, one that she had never heard before. It wasn't entirely surprising. There were many different colonies on many different...

Halia looked at June for a long moment. She was confident that it wouldn't be poisoned. She was their strongest fighter, so they would keep her around for awhile. Dark elves were known for refusing to eat anything that they themselves hadn't prepared, constantly weary of poison. He protection...

Tameron was worried about the prince. Eating would make him feel better and make him stronger. So far it didn't seem too dangerous out here. Well, there had been no attacks from others. Halia was the biggest threat and she still needed them. Still, there could be others watching them right now...

Tameron narrowed his eyes at Halia. If she did attack Vin, he would try to protect the horse, though he doubted he could defeat the mage. Even as he thought this, his stomach ached. It had been awhile since June had given him the jerky and, considering his size, he needed a lot of food. Dinner...

Halia glanced at the horse. "I am just considering making this horse into stew." She didn't take threats well. She drank deeper of her wine, the edges of her deep seated rage blurring. The wood elf had returned with a deer she had skinned. She could smell the fresh scent of it's blood.

Lanai fiddled with the bottom of her jacket. She didn't like being outside. It wasn't that she thought she might get hurt, she just wasn't comfortable around other people. She had never had many friends and preferred being alone with her studies. Lanai could explain exactly what part of the...

"In your present state, I doubt they would be difficult to break." Halia sounded disinterested. Tameron wondered if there was anything she actually enjoyed. After a few more minutes, he got the fire going and looked over Zek. He didn't know what he should do to help the young prince. Even the...

"You are lucky that I need you alive right now. I could kill you easily." She conjured a wine skin, filled to bursting with bitter dark elf wine. She drank deeply, the taste bringing her back to her home. She figured she would need it by the time the night was through. Tameron came back, his...

Tameron hurried to obey, seeming to trust that Halia could protect the prince. She stared at him. His skin was pale and he was sweating. It was normal for a mage to feel weak after casting their spells, she herself felt her hands shaking slightly, but she wondered if that was all that was wrong...

Halia raised one of her eyebrows. "So, you can see the future as well?" She didn't believe that they would die here either, but one could never be sure. If some slavers were able to kill them, then she would deserve to die. Halia could feel an extension of herself, the spider she made from her...

"Yes. As well as which direction we are headed. It wouldn't do for me to die out here with no one knowing what happened." Halia's voice was cold. Tameron smiled at June as he headed out. He had never been especially comfortable around magic. His people were not none for having strong magic. The...

Halia retrieved the knife and looked at it for a few moments. After a few seconds of debating, she took the blade and cut her right index finger. Blood welled from the wound and she raised her right hand. Halia smeared the blood from the center of her forehead and down the bridge of her nose...

Halia hesitated before pulling the same knife she had used during the earlier battle from her robes. She held it lightly by it's blade and handed it to Zex, blade first. She had climbed off of Melody earlier and now stood in the middle of a small clearing, hidden from the road. Halia was a bit...

Halia nodded sharply. "I don't need much sleep. I can take one of the first watches." Her magic would sustain her. She could last about a week without food or sleep, without weakening. Her magic would give her strength. Halia would prefer not to have to, but she could. If anyone attacked during...

"Only for myself. I could try to cast one over all of us, but I doubt you would survive it." Halia answered the young princes question absently. She had long since learned to cast a protection spell over herself if she needed to sleep, but knew that the spell wouldn't work on others. It was...
