There Will Be An End

[InsaneTruth]

"Oh... ah... ok," Kin said rubbing his head a bit confused "Sorry,"

 

[Ricia]

"No need to apologize.." Pheo told him before going silent again.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I sort of used you as a stuffed toy," Kin said that was right for appology.

 

[Ricia]

"I don't mind... It has been a year since that has happened.." Pheo said, "I was a pleasure slave most my years... till Lord Ashur and Lord Dasuke saved me. I went to the mountain temples to train." He let out a soft sigh of happiness.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I'm sorry if it drew bad memories," Kin said he didn;t care for slavery though he had thought of getting a pet.

 

[Ricia]

"It was not unpleasant...." Pheo said with a smile, "It was warm and inviting."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"good," Kin said hoping that was the right thing to say in such a situation. He wasn't a conversationalist.

 

[Ricia]

Pheo nodded with a slight smile before they got to the edge of town. Pheo stopped before turning to stare at Kin. He offered him a light smile again, "Be safe. Thank you for the help again."

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kin nodded "can you get to the keep without getting ganked?" Kin asked.

 

[Ricia]

Pheo nodded, "I did get here." He told Kin, "Thank you for your worry.. I hope you get to your home soon."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I should," Kin said "be safe pheo," he ruffled the boys hair Kin's feelings were pretty calm thought a twinge of worry was there and a bit of longing.

 

[Ricia]

Pheo did flinch a way a bit, but then offered him a small smile before turning to leave. Though, he did look back at him once before continuing forward. The trip home was almost as quite as to. With his monk status, he didn't really get into much trouble.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kin went back to work though he thought of pheo the entire day.

 

[Ricia]

Pheo thought a lot about Kin as well, but there was nothing much he could do. After a week of travel about, he made it back to the keep, handing Axesort the necklace as proof. He was pretty happy about it. He told Phoenix to find a job to do, which he had no clue what to do.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Star was happy Pheo was back she had told Runa and Miu the story of how Pheo and Dasuke helpped her and Ashur.


Mousey was out and about now causing his normal mischeif and doing his normal jobs.

 

[Ricia]

Over the few weeks Pheo was gone, Axesort had done some bussiness with Lord Henry. He traded some of his farmed goods, which was rare for several strong horses and cattle.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Henry was pleased with the trading. Mousey had wrote all black mailable material into a file if it was ever needed. Issabelle sent her first letter to Ashur. She wrote the names of a few crooked nobles who did dealings with pirates. She also sent her thanks for his help information about her new crew the seas and such. She also sent him a weathered old map it was of the sea and islands,

 

[Ricia]

For the whole few weeks Pheo was back, he dedicated his time to the things that took a lot of patients around the keep. Honestly he did a lot of laundry and cleaning. He sometimes trained a few of the fauns and servants who didn't train in a bit of self defense.

 

[InsaneTruth]

One day mousey ran to Ashur "A guard wants to know if we are excepting guardsmen to protect the keep. He;s a weird one but I didn;t seem anything bad,"

 

[Ricia]

"Guardsmen...?" He asked, "Give me a moment." He said before excusing himself from the servants he had been talking too the man who just mysteriously shown up. When Mousey said guardsmen, he was expecting a lot of them.

 

[InsaneTruth]

It was only one but he was built pretty sturdy he wore simple armor with the towns gaurd sign on it. He was human too like stone. Kin saw Ashur and bowed "Hello lord Ashur i am Gaurdsmen Kin Reylond Ash," The rarely used last name given to his family sinve their roots were in the olf worlds ash forests a thing no longer seen.

 

[Ricia]

Ashur nodded and looked over him, "Welcome Kin.... your are a guard from the capital? Here on business?" He asked him, raising a brow.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Looking for a more steady job to be honest," Kin said "I was in the army had to stop, too much moving about," and he hated the king but saying that would not be a smart move.

 

[Ricia]

"I see... so you are looking for a job here?" Axesort asked. He glanced at Mousey, but he already cleared him. "Well.. I suppose. You'd need a new set of armor.. those being from the wrong city. The keep lack guard... as I don't often allow anyone outside the keep, to guard the keep. Only those trained in the keep guard the keep..." Axesort told Kin.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I was expecting a much tougher road to becoming a keep gaurd," Kin admitted he came prepaired to show skill and even start at the bottom. Mousey just chuckled as he saw Kin;s confusion.
