Braxev nodded. Olivia kept silent and her arrows trained. "Be very careful." Braxev whispered.

Abobad gripped the hilt of one of his knives," Maybe we should find another way around."

Braxev observed the men ahead. Armed with swords, shields, daggers, tw0-handed swords and axes. "I think that's a good idea...we shou--Abobad...they have prisoners." Braxev said, pointing at a two cages, one containing a handsome blonde man, looking like he was of high-standing in society, the other cage holding a brown-haired girl, unconscious and beaten. The men were arguing on what to do with the toe people, deciding if they should rape them, kill them, or rape one and kill the other. Maybe make slaves out of them. "This isn't part of your job...but we should act. Olivia, are y--Olivia?" Braxev whispered, seeing Olivia was already sneaking around out of sight of the men, aiming her bow as she sneaked around.

Abobad shook his head," You are going to get me killed, but I am inclined to agree with you. We should follow Olivia's lead and help them." He replied, unsheathing his knife. Overhead in the trees something moves uneasily. A loud crack echos from above, followed by a yelp and an older boy hitting the ground between the trio and the armed men. Even in the dark he is visibly pale and skinny, with gray hair and glowing light blue eyes.
" Augh, fuck!" The boy sits up, rubbing his back." Uhg shit, that branch was thin." He notes, looking up at where he had fallen from, moving his hand to rub the back of his head." Oh, that's wet, great." He turns his head to the soldiers, seeming to be completely un-phased by the situation around him." Uhh... Hullo."
Abobad stares in awe at the boy, so calmly sitting in front of a gaggle of armed soldiers.
(I'm just gonna go ahead and apologise.)

Braxev also looked at the boy in awe. "That was...different?" He said, and just as he did, Olivia took the distraction to fire an arrow at one of the bandits, hitting him in the head. Perfect aim and grace...perhaps she was a master archer? The men noticed on of their one had fallen over dead. Braxev cursed as the men began to attack. He leaped forward, guarding the boy who had fallen. Braxev summoned a spirit pulse, knocking back a few of the men. Olivia rained her arrows down from afar. Braxev would find out who the boy was after they were safe, and he continued knocking his foes back with magic.

The boy stood behind Braxev and cleared his throat." Uh, would you like some help?" He asked in an unreasonably nonchalant manner.
" I think it is safe to assume the answer is yes." Abobad replied, chucking a knife in the crowd.
The boy nods and looks back at the soldiers, takes a deep breath and yells " Boo!" as he and three of the soldiers burst into blue flames. The soldiers screamed, he snickered.

Braxev looked upon the boy....did he possess some type of magic? Braxev lit more of the enemy soldiers aflame, creating small whirlwinds to round pairs of them up. Olivia kept raining her arrows down.

The boy let the flames on his own person die out, still snickering behind a big grin." It's bad for me to laugh but they kind of deserve it."
Abobad shook his head," I feel that two fire-starters is too much..." He admitted.
" Well I'm flattered, setting things on fire is something I've only just gotten exceptional at." The boy replies as his fires crisp the soldiers effected." We do need to be more careful, the prisoners will get hurt if we're not." He reminds, looking over in Olivia's direction.

Olivia is careful with her shots, timing her shots just right so the arrows hit each target. Braxev conjures up an icy blast, freezing the soldiers in place with a cold white mist. Once they're frozen, Braxev sends two large balls of rock flying at them, shattering the enemy soldiers to icy bits. The prisoners are safe in their cages, and the enemy is almost gone. A big soldier sneaks up behind Olivia, making her deliver a roundhouse kick to his face, making him fall flat n the ground, out cold.

The boy claps his hands together," Wonderful." He says as he walks past Braxev and goes about breaking the locks on the cages.
Abobad stares at him, utterly baffled." Uh... So who exactly are you?" He asks the boy, stepping forward.
" My name is Edden Grauu." The boy answers," I was just out here to hunt, the villagers in Seleuc said it'd help me keep my mind off things. But of course I end up coming across a bunch of rapists so I followed them. I was waiting for them to do something, didn't really expect to fall though." He rambles, pulling open the cages and reaching in to pull out the woman. He lays her out on the ground and presses his ear to her chest, listening to her breathing. He looks her over, feeling her ribs gently.

The woman is fine, just a little roughed up...she's sleeping. Braxev waved his hand over her, making her glow with healing magic. Olivia stepped out from the bushes and collected her arrows from the dead soldiers' bodies. She then freed the man in the other cage and he crawled out, dusting himself off and running a hand through his dirty blonde hair. "Thank you...thank you all. I'm Ascelin Faye, prince of Calepp. And the girl on the ground is one of my servants, Evilash." He said, a smooth voice about him. He further explained how he and Evilash came to be in these mens grasp, kidnapped while they were out running errands.

Edden took his hands off the girl and stood up. He put his hand on the back oh his head and winced, Abobad handed him a rag to the bleeding. The two listened to the prince. When he was finish Abobad offered him and hand," Well, you are in luck. We are currently traveling to Calepp." He told the other.
Edden stayed quiet a moment, staring at the girl and pressing the rag to his bloodied head." If you're all planning to go through Seleuc I'm sure my uncle wouldn't mind pitching a tent for you." He offered," You're on the wrong pathway though, you need to go more west than this."

"We're on the wrong path?" Braxev asked, puzzled. He noticed Edden was bleeding so he flicked his wrist and healed him with magic.

Edden flinched," Uh yah, the paths changed because of a storm a few months back, the path splits but its blocked from here. I can get you there."
" I thought the split was farther ahead?" Abobad asked.
Edden shook his head," No, if you continue on this road you'll miss Seleuc completely and I don't know where you'll end up."
Abobad rubbed his face in frustration," Well thank the gods you showed up. We would appreciate the help to Seleuc."
" Okay but you have to the carry the lady." Edden bargained. Abobad chuckled and nodded," Of course." He knelt down and carefully scooped the woman into his arms. Edden warns him to careful, to support her neck and what not, he even readjusts her arms to make sure she doesn't get injured any further. He is obviously very concerned.

Ascelin took a sword and shield from a dead soldier, taking them for his own weapons if needed. He thenlooked at Abobad. "Please...let me take her. It's my fault she was even out here." He said, carefully taking the girl from him and holding her in his arms. The prince seemed to care a great deal for run, he caressed the sleeping girl's cheek gently. Olivia smiled at the lad for caring about the girl.
"So...on we go then?" Braxev asked the group, "Or shall we rest, give everyone a chance to relax for a moment?" He asked, in no hurry. He didn't want to go on if it meant anyone's health was at risk.

Edden shook his head," No we should start moving now. We're not that far from Seleuc, we'll be safer there."
" I do not know if safe is the word I would use to describe Seleuc." Abobad replied, looking at the boy with suspicion.
Edden flashed a big grin," It is with my uncle there." He turns toe and steps into the forest," It's safe while he's there, I promise, alright?"
Abobad began to follow him," Who is your uncle?"
" His name is Letton." Edden replies and Abobad immediately remembers the name.
" Letton? Letton with the little apprentice, Kassidy? He is still out here?" Abobad asks, shocked at the thought.
Edden looked back at him confused before continuing forward," No, he isn't still out here, he just came back. Don't ask me why, I just got dragged along because my father thought I needed some time away from everything."

"Your father thought sending you Seleuc was good for you? Is he mad?" Olivia asks as they group moves along.

" I don't think he realised we were heading for hostile territory, not that it was so bad. The villagers became civil after a little show of power. And I do like hunting and combat, he figured it was better than staying after..." Edden's shoulders stiffen as he walks, showing his visible discomfort." Ahem, you know, it doesn't really matter. He wanted to get to go out so I went out, so far I've caught soldiers. Not exactly what I thought I'd be hunting on this trip." He went on," And yah, my father is a little crazy. Amazing doctor though."

Everyone made small comments as the group of now 6 traveled onward.

it was a short while before they hit another path. Edden lead the way with Abobad close behind. The night began to grow brighter and within the hour they had arrived at the edge of the small village of Seleuc." Here we are!" Edden announced.
Abobad looked around the village wearily. There were small shacks about the village, accompanied by smaller tents. Towards the center of the village were two tall men, both dressed in black robes. One's skin was pale, he had short black hair and wore gloves. The other was dark skinned, his clothes were less neat and clean than the other's and he was also a touch shorter. They were speaking to each other, only one side of each of their faces was showing.
" Hey!" Edden called out to the two," Uncle Letton, Borris! I'm back! I brought friends!"
The pale man brought his hand up to pinch the bridge of his nose before even looking. He shook his head and glanced over. The other man looked over at the lot and questioned," Why do you always bring home strays?"
" Suzanna says it's endearing!" Edden replies, making his way closer to the two," They just need to stay a while, they're travelling to Calepp." He explained to his elders.
(I'mmmmm sorryyyyyyyyy)

"Please...it'd only be for a night. And one of our own is injured, she needs proper care. I've done what I can." Braxev pleaded, gesturing to the prince, holding his servant in his arms in a caring manner.
Lance C

Upon coming close enough one can see several old scars on the right side of the shorter man's face. They are grouped together and appear pale on his sable skin." I'm not going to turn you down. It is obvious she is wounded. I will set a tent for you all. Until then you can put your friend in Edden's tent." The dark skinned man replied, gesturing to the tent in question." I am Borris, by the way. I can help you with her care momentarily." He said before heading off.
The pale man, assumed to be Letton made eye contact with Abobad," Mr. Nilic, it's been a long time. Might I ask why my nephew has blood all over the back of his head?"
" He fell out of a tree," Abobad answered honestly. He looked down at Edden who had his hand on the back of his head once again. In the light it was clear that Edden was not a poor boy. His clothes, though dirty and disheveled, were of high quality. His skin, on the other hand, was riddled with old bruises. A faded black eye and finger marks one his neck and arms, heaviest on his boney wrists.

Braxev's healing magic may have stopped the bleeding on Edden's head, but the blood was still there. Ascelin thanked Borris. "Come, my love...I'll take you somewhere safe." Ascelin whispered to the sleeping Evilash in his arms. 'My love'? The prince and his servant girl...together? He took her to the tent and laid her down gently. Olivia and Braxev followed the two of them, offering medical assistance.

Edden watched them, then looked back up at his uncle." You may go." The men says before the boy darts off into the tent. Letton and Abobad stay and converse.
Edden ducked into the tent," This isn't really a four person tent, sorry. Any one with lacking medical background should probably get out of the way before Borris gets here. Uh, mage guy, your name is Braxev right? You might be helpful but you'll have to ask. And Ascelin? Borris will probably have questions about her injuries."

"I have nothing I won't say...those men were savages. I'm glad their dead." Ascelin replied softly, caressing the sleeping girls cheek with care. Braxev waved his hands over the girl as she slept, making her glow with his healing magic. "I'll do all I can...but I have no intention of asking permission, I'm not a child." He replied sensibly.
