"Sure, No problem" Zelnite said before approaching Leia. "Hey Luness, don't push yourself, sometimes, in situations like this, you would need the help of your comrads" He says before helping out.

 

[DawnAntalios]

Nyr marveled at the giant city and was impressed with it. Even though the icy environment seemed harsh the inhabitants did not seem to mind it at all, in fact they liked the icy cold not hated it.


Looking at the group she smiled, seeing that most of them were all right she was happy. They all made it safe to here. If only she knew where Mira was though... she finally found a sister and she lost it as quickly as well. Sadness swelled in her heart but there was nothing to do about it right now so she looked forward meeting people in the city.

 

[Aelin]

"Food!" she squeeled and shifted accidently burning the side of the guards sleeves under his armor then flew to the great hall. She landed in a chair then shifted back and dug in. She was hungry and completely unaware at the fact people were staring, she just ate until she was full then left and looked around for her room. It was kind of cold, which was to be expected but that that didn't make it any more enjoyable. Once she found her room she poked around, books, an ice chandelier, a really weird looking chair and a bed. Yay. She walked over to the bookshelf well singing quietly, the door was open so her song probably floated into the hallway but she didn't really care she just grabbed a book sprawled out on the floor and started reading well still singing

Luness rolled her eyes at Zelnite's comment and said, "I grew up taking care of myself, this ain't nothin' new to me." She then wondered where those healers were in town that the guards had spoken of. Seeing Zelnite and Leia offering their aid, Luness sighed and said, "Fine, you two can help me to the healers." She then waited for the pair to help her out of the cabin and to wherever the healers were in town.

They were given quite the welcome upon entering town. Ashley was sure okay with it though. But now she was hungry. Curse this pregnancy, when will it end. Cramps, Hunger, Heartburn, Backache, Insomnia even...Make it stop! So much for resting, she thought. Upon entering the great hall, she saw one of her companions digging in like there was no tomorrow (@Eloya ). Wow, someone was hungry. She'd dig in herself, but Ashley had table manners. Even then, people were staring at her. Why? Good god, has no one ever seen a pregnant lady before? Let alone one that's venturing around? Sometimes the unwanted attention drove her crazy, but she tried her best not to pay any mind to it. After eating her meal, she just went to her room. The bed looked mesmerizing. Nap time, sure! Maybe a little reading first. As she looked over the Book Shelf, she wondered what to read before finally resting as she took off her Combat Gear. On second thought...Nap time! The young Mother just crawled onto the bed and just drifted into sleeping...But left her door slightly open...Perhaps it was so her companions can check up on her.

Leo, having finished visually checking for anyone who might need him or was not there, turned his gaze to the town itself. He was impressed with the beauty if the village being in such a desolate place such as this. "Like a Lilly in the desert." He listened to the man welcome them and was intrigued to hear the prospects of food. "Ban a, care to join me for a meal. Need to keep our strengths up." He motioned for the little lizard girl to follow and mayde his way towards the phoenix's trail of smoke she had left behind in her excitement for food as well. When he arrived, he was excited to see the different choices they had supplied. Leo walked over to one of the tables and picked up and entire platter of some kind of roasted foul. He grabbed a pitcher of some liquid and sat himself down close to where the phoenix had landed and began devouring the meal. The long run had left him famished.


@Eloya

 

[Aelin]

She walked back down to the great room with a book, eager for seconds. She plopped back down on her seat and grabbed half of a chocolate cake that was left and started devouring it. Many of the guards gave her strange looks but when you control magic you get hungry, one guard in particular was staring at the strands of hair on her head that was glowing and she stuck her toung out at him "Very mature." she heard him scoff and she laughed.

 

[SilverFlight]

Leia helped Luness through the town square into a small house where the men directed her. Inside the house it was warm. A hearth with a crackling fire burning brightly sat in the wall at the other end. The walls were covered with wool draped to keep the cold stone from affecting the temperature of the room. There were four beds, each piled high with sheepskins. A figure sat tending the fire and as Leia called a hello she looked up.


"Hmm. That looks like a mess." Said the old woman with a snort, gesturing to Luness' arm.


"Sit on that bed there, and change back into a human. I'm not used to a cat's body." The woman sounded as if she would tolerate no nonsense but she seemed like she knew what she was doing.


"You two. Out."


Leia held up her hands and backed toward the door. "Well, I'll come check up on you later." She said before vanishing.


The old woman set to mixing a poultice. "This will take away your pain before I set the bone. You'll have to stay off it for the rest of the night. But the spell should have done its work by morning."


Ward carried the unconscious Elena to one of the spare rooms that had been set out for them. He set her gently on the bed and hung the cloak on a hook by the door.


Retrieving blankets from a shelf he piled them over the sleeping girl and went to set a fire in the hearth. The room was freezing.


"You really are amazing," He said out loud, wondering at all she had done to help them escape. Failing with the flint and tinder he set a small flame spell and the logs caught, crackling happily. The room began to warm.


When he was satisfied that Elena would be comfortable for the night he headed for the door.


"Goodnight." He whispered, and went down to the main hall.


The rooms that had been prepared were all in the main building, so ward simply went down a set of steps to find Leo, Banba and Joy all sitting around a table.


He slumped into a chair and heaved a sigh. "Its quite a shame they didn't build the village over the portal pool." He looked to the others and smiled. The smell of food made him realize how hungry he was and he went to retrieve a plate.


He piled it high with roast boar and bread roles, dabbing a bit of mint jelly on the side. Sitting down with his friends he raised a small glass of ale.


"To narrow escapes!..and to good friends."

 

[zCrookedz]

Leo watched as the battle worn griffon made his way down to the table. He raised his cup to the griffon at the mention of the portal. "Shame indeed, but we made it here in one piece.....more or less..." He took a long sip of his drink, the pungent ale warming him from the inside. She ward returned with his plate he leaned in close to his leader. "We made it, and you did the best you could. The others are strong, they will mend. Let us rejoice that this key of our journey is over."

[Bea Delaine]

Elena awoke for a moment, eyes closed and head hazy with sleep. She smelled fire. She heard a familiar voice in the room. Maybe someone else was talking to ward? She couldn't tell. She opened her eyes after a minute, finding the room empty. Unsure if what she heard was real, she curled deeper into the blankets and fell back into sleep, too comfortable to care anymore.

 

[Naeg1]

As they entered the castle, Zelnite once again took a glass of wine. He also used his sword to stab a apple and took it outside like always, he was never really bothered by the cold winds of the land, he was only bothered about the chalice. After finishinghis apple, he continued to train outside the castle to keep his agility and speed atleast average when fighting in the deep snow.

 

[Aelin]

She laughed, for the first time in a while and instead of clinking glasses with ward she picked up a piece of chocolate and melted it slightly then threw it at wards nose and it stuck on the tip. She laughed again then had another piece of her entire half of a cake "You know magic really steals your energy." she said "We should just get free chocolate anywhere we go simply cause we are so awesome." she said well smiling. She grabbed her book and started reading well eating, she started singing quietly because she was bored then got up "We are in a room full of food and people and laughing I am going to dance. you guys can or not I really don't care." she said then walked over to the girl in the corner who was playing her fiddle quietly and asked her to play something fun. The girl started a nice song with a fun melody and pulled up a guard and started dancing. It wasn't the waltz or anything fancy it was just fun and other people started joining her random happy dance.

 

[DawnAntalios]

Nyr walked casually in the great hall where the food was served for them. She just take a small portion of food for herself then she wandered off to explore the castle. The entire palace was cool ( literally) as the icy wind swept through it but instead of disturbing she found it fantastic and refreshing. She hurried through the frozen corridors and looked one door slightly open.


She carefully entered and saw Ashley (@Shimakage Thunder ) sleeping on the bed. Nyr moved closer to her and sat on the bed, smiling. She had not seen a woman yet in a blessed state but her... yet she is still heroic and has the will to fight even in her fragile state. She gently put her hand on her belly and murmured a blessing.


" Mother Moon, bless this brave soul. Grant her so that her wishes may come true both for her and her child. "


Her hand glowed faintly with a white light and she smiled.

 

[Jecklyn]

Banba followed Leo, not bothering to brush the snow off where it had gathered on her cloak. Sitting beside the big lion man, she stared off into space, not eating or moving. When ward joined them she seemed to wake from a trance, and stretched her arms above her head, where they seemed to melt together. Her body followed suit and became long and slender, a snake tangled into the cloak. When the music started up, the tip of her tail could be seen twitching in time to it, but no other movement could be seen.

 

[SilverFlight]

Leia watched Zel train.


"Hey, do you ever stop?" She asked, teasing him in a friendly way. After the evening's excitement she didn't feel much like eating. It seemed almost unreal that not too long ago they were in a summery land, at a ball. Looking around at the frozen courtyard she nodded in approval and drew her sword.


"How about teaching me a little sword play." She smiled at Zel and took up her stance.


Ward pulled the piece of chocolate off his nose and put it into his mouth. Sticking his tongue out at Joy as she pranced past him. He laughed as he watched her dance. Happy to be among the people he cared about.

 

[Aelin]

She stuck her toung out back at ward. She was having so much fun, she had danced with a lord, warrior, cook even pulled up 2 young servant girls and danced with them, when the new song started she pulled Leo, Ward and Banba to the floor and started dancing with them. She was having to much fun and she loved it.

 

[Naeg1]

"I do, I only train to prepare myself for the worst" Zelnite said. Tossing his Masamune aside. He got another one of his blades "Come at me then" He says wit

 

[BloodThunder27]

As Ashley just laid sleeping on the bed, one of her companions, Nyr (@DawnAntalios ) in particular, came into her room. At Nyr's touch, Ashley's offspring kicked. In her sleep, the young Mother would grab onto her companion's hand, which was on her belly. Whatever she was dreaming about, hopefully it was nothing horrible. Or could it be that she senses the blessing that Nyr had placed on her and her child? Ashley was still very exhausted. For her to still keep up with everyone was amazing and quite a wonder. In her sleep, when her hand made contact with Nyr's, she smiled.

 

[Lioness075]

Luness inwardly cursed herself as Leia helped her to the building in which the healer was located. Upon entering, Luness' eyes flickered about, taking in the sight of the comfort of the room. Hearing the request to change into a human, Luness let out a low growl, not at all liking the idea. Yet, as the human continued on, she seemed to know what she was talking about.


Letting out a small sigh, Luness sat on the bed designated for her and then shifted into a human, hissing at the pain when her broken bone, and torn skin and muscle had to return to the human state as well. Panting now, Luness tried to blink away the ensuing dizzy spell that came over her. Fixating her gaze on the human, Luness thought about hissing at her, but realized she was in her human form now and would look rather ridiculous if she hissed. Instead, she resolved to simply glare at the healer, as if this was somehow her fault.

[zCrookedz]

Leo choked on his food when the girl tried to pull Banba and himself away from there seats, but Leo declined the offer for both of them. It had been a long trip and he just wanted to enjoy his meal. He looked over at Banba, her tail bobbing to the music, but something didn't seem right. He reached into his robes and pulled out a handful of sweets he had saved from the ball at the princess castle. Placing them in front of her, Leo leaned in close to Banba. "Ban a, is everything well? You have not seemed yourself since we entered the village."


@Jecklyn

 

[SilverFlight]

Ward let himself be pulled into the center of the room and laughed as he started to jig happily next to Joy, kicking up his heals and clapping his hands. He couldn't remember having more fun. The grin that appeared on his face was from ear to ear.


Leia took a deep breath, realizing she was probably facing a guy who had grown up with the sword. She allowed it to guide her into the correct form and then lunged, bringing the slender blade down towards Zel's left shoulder.


The healer applied the poultice and it immediately took effect, numbing the wound and dulling the pain of the broken limb.


"Not very trusting of humans are ye? Can't say I blame you." The old healer spoke to Luness to try and get her mind off the pain. The bandage was already off and she set our fresh ones with a splint.


As she worked she began humming a soft, low tune. An old lullaby she had learned from a werwolf, a long time ago.


@Lioness075

 

[Bea Delaine]

Elena ended up only sleeping a little while longer before the sounds of festivities bled through the walls. The bit of rest she did get went a long way it seemed. She got up slowly, looking for the coat she had on to find it on a hook. She slipped out of her room and rubbed her eyes, searching for the source of the sound until she came upon a room wth everyone dancing and food.


She made a b line for the food, getting a piece of bread, cheese and some grapes. She found a seat and picked at the food a bit. Her eyes scanned the room and stopped at Ward. The blonde seemed to be having fun. Than she wondered if what she heard was what actually happened. Well, Elena ended up there somehow. After she was full enough, she went to join in the dance.

 

[SilverFlight]

Ward was having so much fun he didn't notice Elena come in. It wasn't until she appeared right beside him that he saw her and let out a little yelp of surprise. He tripped over nothing in particular and wound up on his rear in the middle of the floor.


"Elena! I hope we didn't wake you." he gave her an embarrassed smile.


@Bea Delaine

 

[Naeg1]

"Impressive" He said as he parried the incoming lunge while strafing to his right, making his own counterattack, Zelnite attacked with a simple slice targeting Leias upper shoulder.

 

[DawnAntalios]

The raven smiled as she saw Ashley touch her hand. It was touching and kind moment thus she decided to act. She closed her eyes and gently releasing her hand she raised both of her palms to the sky. Few moments later, even though there was no window on the top of the room rays of moonlights shone her hands which once again started to glow with an eerie light. Opening her eyes they also burned in the white flame as she spread her arms over Ashley's body.


" Bathe in the glory of the light, blessed mother. " she whispered as a gentle light enveloped Ashley " Bringer of future, warrior of the present, let your wounds vanish. "


The light then flickered then finally dimmed. Nyr collapsed on the bed, panting silently. It was exhausting but she was happy she could help to give her some power. She closed her eyes and started meditating. It didn't feel right to just leave Ashley alone.
