There Will Be An End

[Ricia]

"You're not in the clear yet... Are you skilled in training people at all?" Axesort asked Kin. "Right now I only have a Mercenary training people. He had to alternate between town and keep."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I am not used to training others, suppose I can," Kin told Ashur he wasnt a talker he was a doer. So instructing might not be his best suit.

 

[Ricia]

"I see." Axesort said he put his fingers under his chin to think for a moment.


"Kin!" It was a familiar voice of Phoenix. He was still wearing heavy winter monk robes.


"Phoenix, you know this man?" He asked raising a brow.


"Yes." He said walking up to them, "Kin was very helpful. He is a good man."


Axesort went into thought again. He was hard pressed... but between Pheo with the sense of emotion and Mousey with the sense of the mind... both say it is alright. "Very well.... you can work inside the keep.. the town guard is getting a bit over stalked anyway."


Pheo looked lightly intrestread. "You are staying here?"

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kin smiled seeing Pheo though his greeting was the small simple smile. He looked at Ashur and had a feeling he missed something important. Then Pheo spoke again "I... am not sure, do keep gaurds live here or simply come to work and go home when shift end?"

 

[Ricia]

"They live here." Axesort told Kin, "They also get feed, paid and sheltered....." He had a long pause. "I've never had anyone wanting to not live here."


Pheo seemed to just be beaming at Kin quietly while Axesort spoke.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"It doesn't really matter... I'm just not too good of company in the morning," he said as he told Pheo he was not a morning person.

 

[Ricia]

Pheo almost giggled, and it made Ashur look over. The boy didn't express much, though he wasn't unpleasant. "I see.... go a head and stop by my blacksmith Nina... drop of your armors and tell her I need you fit for new ones..." Those ones would have Axesort's family crest on it. Nina would just felt down the old armor and reuse the metal if she wanted. "I suppose Phoenix can help you get settled anywhere else. Go to training in the morning.. Stone will let me know how you do later."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Thanks... whats the pay here?" not that it mattered much since room and board was set. He nodded to Pheo and had to smile at the boy.

 

[Ricia]

"The guard are getting a silver a week." Axesort told Kin.


Phoenix choose not to be paid because of his monk ship. But for some reason it was hard to convince Ashur not to pay him....

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Thats fine since room and foods given," Kin said and that was actually a very fair price he expected less while he was in training though

 

[Ricia]

Axesort nodded before going to shake Kin's hand, "Then, welcome." He told Kin. Pheo later showed Kin to the barrics, but he also showed Kin where his room was. Kin got armor and was quickly introduced to the small guard the was of the keep. Which included Leaf, the faun, who was a pretty funny guy and quite the warrior. There was several people and a few fauns. Though the reacquiring theme is every single one of them was a slave once who Axesort saved and free'd.


The days passed by peacefully and eventually winter passed and spring was on it's way. The girls were technically another year old, 9 in fact. Miuccia grew a few more inches and her winter coat on her ears and tail were starting to come off. Her fur was becoming more bright and vivid. Her bow and arrow skills were starting to become her own. Branching off into her own practice... however she tried to do unconventional things, thing that would throw people off her be easier for her to do rather then a straight bow an arrow archer. She was no military person..

 

[InsaneTruth]

Runa had shead her scales a few times each shead left her scales harder and more healthy looking. she grew her few inches and her spikes grew as well. Star however was not seeming to get as tall as her sisters though like Miu she was sheading her winter fur too on;y her snow white fur clung to everything servants hated cleaning up after her because of her fur.


Kin proved to be a very valuable gaurd he knew what he was doing he didn't goof off and he was silent most of the time. He wrote his reports and handed them off and even cleaned up after himself. Runa liked to spar with him since she saw him around alot.

 

[Ricia]

Pheo liked to spend time with Kin when ever he had time off. He would mostly ask him to watch something, such as the stars, sunset or just the clouds. Pheo would talk on occasion too, but for the most part liked to just stare in space. Surprisingly, for a monk he just did mundane things like laundry. Which may not be that surprising since he was a slave previously as well.


Axesort however had a job for the girls. He knew they liked adventure.. and he wasn't sending them off to do exciting things.. but it would get them out of the keep and around town a bit.


"Girls?" He said peaking into their room early morning. He didn't know if they were about the castle yet. He was not sure when they'd stop sharing a room either...

 

[InsaneTruth]

When Axsort poked into the girls room Runa groaned lightly the slowest person to wake was her. Star was already up brushing out her hair "morning Papa," she said happily. Star was a morning person most days.

 

[Ricia]

Miuccia was still half asleep, "M'orn.." She murmured before rolling over on Runa.


"I thought you girls would like something to do today. I have a special assignment." Axesort said with a chuckle.


"Adventure?!" Miuccia asked sitting up.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Oh?" Star asked "Really? and adventure?" she wagged her tail happily.


"Miu... get off," Runa grumbled.

 

[Ricia]

Miuccia rolled off Runa and onto the edge of the bed before stealing the brush from Star to start on her hair. She then just as quickly pulled out her earnings and started to put them in.


"Yes. I need some thing delivered to a few of the people around town..." Axesort told them, coming into the room with the letters.


"Aw... that doesn't sound like a lot of fun.." Miuccia said.


"I know it's not kicking bad guys butts, but you are not old enough for that yet." Axesort told Miuccia.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"It'll be fun Miu we get to run around the town," Star said smiling though she was gonna laugh when Miu had to pick white fur from her hair Star was sheading something aweful.


Runa sat up "ok," she yawned

 

[Ricia]

"Good." Axesort put the papers down on the bed. "Remember, dress semi decent, Runa." It was aimed specifically at Runa. "You are going out in public. But you don't need to wear a dress. You just need to wear clothing." He let Runa do as she pleased around the keep, but he tried to get her to be lightly conscious of it outside of it. "The papers are here, just try and get it done before sundown tonight."

 

[InsaneTruth]

Runa didn't understand her need to wear clothing look at her she was perfectly decent in scale.She wouldn't argue though since she didn;t have to wear a dress.


"Yes Papa," Star said laughing as she looked at Miu "you got some white fur there,"

 

[Ricia]

Miuccia instead of trying to pick it out int he mirror, shook herself like a dog.


Axesort chuckled and then left to go do his normal rounds.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Star laughed and darted to go get changed and to avoid Miu's black and orange fur it stood out so brightly against her white.


Runa got out of bed and ran aa hand through her hair no snags who needs to brush hair that has no snaggs so she just went to get clothing.

 

[Ricia]

Miuccia laughed and followed behind and tried to catch Star bright.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Star ran laughing she shut the door to the closet her inside it.


Runa had no clue where they got their energy. She slugishly put on her pants and had a hard time fitting her tail the spikes made things like this difficult.

 

[Ricia]

"Hey! Open the door, my cloths are in there!" Miuccia pouted outside the door.
