Nyrivin:
When she finally got to the castle, she walked up to the doors and looked up at them. "Wonder why you need such big doors..." She said to herself, before knocking on them.
Sylvia:
"Yeah, I know. Some people just seem to dislike my kind around here. Don't ask me why." She said, taking her hat back and putting it on her head again. "I just like it better when no one's giving me dirty looks..." She replied, continuing on down the street with Kasce.

Kasce & Lyra:
"I think that goes for everyone. Even the one's giving the dirty looks." Kasce said stopping in front of a door and knocking on it loudly. Lyra smiled and slowly got out of her bed. she shuffled across the house, into the store section and opened the door. "Yes what do you want." She said in her most tired voice. "I finished the errand." Kasce replied holding up his bag. "Your late." Lyra answered. "And you're a terrible actor. "retorted Kasce, not skipping a beat. Lyra held the door opened and Kasce entered.
Cringe & Valsh:
At Valsh's motion, Cringe walked over to the door and grabbed the handle. With only a slight struggle the door opened and followed Cringe in an arc. "Welcome to our castle." Valsh said politely upon seeing Nyrivin.

Calvarous & Tarune:
As they finished up getting ready, they headed out to the courtyard, meeting Cringe, Valsh, and Nyrivin standing there. "Oh hello, just going to rally up the troops." Tarune said. Calvarous stopped walking and looked at the trio with his usual emotionless face. "Yes, hello." he said.

Nyrivin:
She nodded as a greeting to the people who passed, though she thought it was rather odd that there was a child there to greet her with all the others. "Who's this?" She asked, looking down at Valsh.
Sylvia:
She walked into the house after Kasce, already starting to feel more comfortable. Sure, she'd only just met him, but shehad the feeling she could trust him. She looked over at Lyra and smiled, holding out her hand. "Hi, my name's Sylvia..." She said, waiting for Lyra to reply with her own name.

Valsh:
"If you mean me, than the answer is Valsh. I am the leader Of the Verum Reges and The person you are here to meet with." Valsh answered bowing slightly. "If you meant the two over there, they are Tarune and Calvarous. My two top generals. If, in the off chance you meant the one who opened the door, his name is Cringe. Now than Shall we go have our meeting?"
Lyra:
Lyra looked down at the hand of the girl in front of her. A few things ran through her mind at the moment. Since when did Kasce go out and make friends that were close enough to ravel with. Why did this girl seem to have been living out in the wild, seeing as she was a bit grimy and messy looking. The final thought she voiced. "You aren't one of those people that have sex behind my shop are you?" Lyra asked in complete seriousness.

Kira:
She felt cold when she woke up and she shivered, reaching out for the body that had been next to her. Alarm overtook her when she felt nothing and she sat up and quickly looked around. Kira wasn't too surprised Nyrivin had left before she'd woken up. That fact, however, didn't make Kira feel any better about how she was already gone once more. With a sigh she stood, and ran a hand through her hair. A note caught her attention, and she picked it up. Kira found a small smile grace her lips as she read Nyrivin's letter. It gave her a bit of hope. Her smile grew to a grin and she grabbed some of her clothes and headed to the shower. 'Hopefully, whatever she has to do won't take very long. I can't wait to see her again...' She thought excitedly. Kira peeled away her dirty clothes, merely tossing them in the sink and filling it with water as she started and stepped into a hot shower.

Nyrivin:
"You're Valsh? I expected you to be a bit... Taller..." She replied, knowing he was probably something big in his other form. No way could he just be a kid. "As for everyone else, they are of little concern to me. I just want to get this meeting done with so we can get to the good part." She addded, remembering the reason she even came here in the first place.
Sylvia:
Lyra's question caught her a little off guard, even though she had nothing to worry about it in that subject. "Er... Well, no..." She stammered, still a little confused why she would ask something like that before even introducing herself. Then again, Sylvia guessed she had her reasons.
Becky:
She was up and ready to get to her next devious deed day within seconds. This would be the last time she was going to do this, seeing as how she had enough money to live any where in peace and without worry. She was tired of living with someone always shouting at her and telling her what to do. The weapons were of no importance to anyone since there was no war going on. In a few minutes the armory guard would leave his post as he always did so he could take a washroom break.

Lyra & Kasce:
Grinning brightly, she grabbed Sylvia's hand and shook it vigorously. "Than welcome. You are welcome in this house anytime." she grinned before turning to Kasce and holding her right hand out with the palm up. With a slight sigh Kasce opened his bag and pulled out a large bundle of thick cotton. Carefully he unwrapped it and placed an old and worn clay jar in Lyra's hand. "Never ask for anything like this again."Kasce said. With a very large smile Lyra took the jar into her room.
Valsh :
"Well I am the size that I am. But I can agree with starting the meeting. If you would follow me." Valsh said, turning around and walking back to the castle.

Nyrivin:
As she followed Valsh into the castle she looked down the hallways as she passed them. The castle seemed vast. Most of the hallways went on quite a ways before they met with either another direction or two. "Well... Nice place you got here." She mentioned, still thinking it odd that Valsh's human form looked like that of a child's.
Sylvia:
Lyra seemed odd to Sylvia, though she liked her new attitude. She watched Kasce hand over the clay jar and Lyra going back to her room. "So uh... What was so special about that jar?" She asked, looking over at Kasce.
Becky:
When he time came, the armory guard had left to go to the washroom. And now, like every day for the past few months, Becky slipped inside the armory and started to quickly and carefully load guns into a crate. The guns were always stached behind some of the more common weapons on Oblitus Regni, so it didn't look like anything new was there when they arrived, nor did it look like anything was gone when they left. With the guns now loaded onto a crate, all she needed to do was take them outside and wait for the man to arrive. When she walked outside to check if the coast was clear, her heart lurched and she closed the door, gasping slightly as she did so. The man she was supposed to give the guns to was laying on the ground, injured obviously, with a bloodied face. And the one person she feared the most to find out about this was standng right above him. Her commanding officer. "Shit shit shit..." She rambled, now very worried about what might happen. Was she already found out? Did he tell her CO what he was doing there? If he hadn't talked by now, he surely would soon. Becky realized what had to be done. She had to dispose of both her CO and the weapons buyer. She took a deep breath before opening the door, and stepping through.

Ryker:
Ryker had been awake since Nyrivin had left, not really wanting to say anything. He sat up with a yawn and ran a hand through his hair before standing with a stretch. He didn't particularly care where Nyrivin had gone, but seeing the sadness in Kira's eyes as she'd realized she had left killed him. In a way, he viewed her as a daughter, even though he wasn't even ten years older than her. Seeing her face light up a little as she read Nyrivin's note, however, made him feel a bit better. Ryker shook his head and grabbed his coat, and pulled it on. He realized they needed a few things before they set out again, and he needed to try and find Sylvia. It would be rude of them to leave without trying to find the girl. With a sigh, he turned to knock on the bathroom door, when the hat he'd gotten the previous night caught his eye. Ryker picked it up and turned it over in his hands a bit before he shrugged and put it on. With a slight grin, he knocked on the door. "Hey, Kira! I'm going out to the streets to get some things. I won't be gone long!" With a sigh, he headed out of the room and down onto the streets. He was really hoping to find a place that sold weapons. Kira had been complaining about how dull her sword was, so he was hoping to find a sharpener for her, and he needed a new knife after he broke the last one. The streets were really active now, as he walked through the people. It was very different from when they'd arrived the night before. Ryker wasn't sure he liked it all that much.

Valsh:
"It's not how I would prefer it to be, but it allows us to do what we need to. " he responded. He could feel chain around his neck move with each step, the key attached to the chain more so. Valsh stopped at the door to the meeting room and opened it, motioning for Nyrivin to enter.
Kasce & Lyra:
"She's obsessed with human culture and history. That was in a history museum, and she wanted it. So due to certain circumstances, I was given no choice but to go and get it. Nearly got my head shot off, and I'm fairly certain that I can never go back to the middle east again." Kasce answered. Even thinking about it irritated him. Lyra happily bounced back into the shop section of the house. "Now than I think it's time for breakfast. I do hope your new friend will join us, don't you think so too Kasce?" She asked. Without waiting for an answer she put her arm over Sylvia's shoulders and pulled her along toward the back of the house and into the dinning room. Once there she pulled out a chair and sat Sylvia down in it, practically singing, "I'm going to go make food now."

Nyrivin:
She stepped inside the meeting room, and glanced around a little. After looking around she became a little impatient. "Well? What am I doing?" She asked, looking over to Valsh and watching him enter.
Sylvia:
She blinked, confused as she was taken and put into a seat. "I... I guess I could stay for some food..." She replied, looking over at Lyra. "I still didn't catch your name..." She added, watching Lyra dance merrily around the kitchen, preparing food.

Valsh:
"First I would like you to sit. It's better to talk about business while sitting. You can sit in any of the chairs. Doesn't matter to me." Valsh answered, taking his seat and waited Nyrivin to take hers.
Kasce & Lyra"
"Lyra." Was the happy reply form the kitchen. Kasce sat down at the table. "Sorry about this. Should have figured that she would be this happy after getting the Jar." He said calmly, before adding, "Though the good news is that you get a free breakfast along with the money." Lyra's sort of perked at the mention of money. "I still don't understand why you need to paid. Not like you have anything to spend it on..." Lyra retorted with the end trailing off. Lyra smiled slyly. "Kasce what is the name of your "friend"?"

Nyrivin:
She sat down across from Valsh, looking over at him. "Alright. So, whats there to be said?" She asked, resing her cheek on her palm, with her other hand lazilly laying on the table.
Sylvia:
She didn't answer, seeing as how she asked Kasce instead of her. She noticed her sly smile and thought about what she was getting at. She then could only think of one thing and that made her blush. She could only wonder if Lyra thought that Kasce and her were together. She looked over at Kasce and pndered on that subject, smiling while she did so. Though that may have looked like she was "checking him out" in a way. She wasn't, she was only thinking. Though she still couldn't help but to notice he DID look good...

Valsh:
"Well that all depends on what you want to know about the offer. However if your question pertains to my goal here, why I am doing this or any other such, sensitive information, than the question will not be answered unless you agree to help. So, what would you like to know?" Responded Valsh, leaning back in his chair.
Kasce & Lyra:
"Her name's Sylvia." Kasce responded calmly, missing Lyra's reason for asking and any hint that was possible. "Sylvia, if you don't mind me asking. What do you do for a living?" Lyra asked still carrying the sly tone in her voice.

Nyrivin:
"I'd like to know what I'd be doing... I was told I'd be able to do things that interest me, though I'm sure you'd know seeing as how your the one who probably invited me here... But i'd like you to expand on that." She replied.
Sylvia:
She looked up from Kasce and over to Lyra. "Oh, uh, nothing really..." She replied sheepishly, figuring that she shouldn't hide the truth from such a friendly lady. Still, it'd be impossible to say other wise with Kasce here, seeing as how he knew she was dirt poor and homeless.

Calvarous & Tarune:
They walked out onto the courtyard and stood for a minute. When they decided it was time to leave, Calvarous' markings began to illuminate. They began to illuminate a bright green light, so bright that no one would see the transformation. the light eventually ceased revealing a huge, dragon. The dragon's scales were a deep green color, his claws and teeth were sharp as blades. The dragon's eyes were an intense golden color. His horns swiftly protruded out of his skull as he gave out a loud roar. He motioned Tarune to climb on his back. They launched off of the ground and rallied up their troops and headed eastbound.
Sceare:
He sighed as he stood from his slumber, and began to star walking once again. 'I have no need to fly there.' he thought, looking at the freshly cleaned knife in his hand. Before he went to sleep the night before he found a river and washed it off. He had dropped the deer a while back because they had started to smell. He decided to hunt for breakfast.

Valsh:
"Ah. Well what you will be doing is, taking part in some test's I have set up. I would need you to take one immediately after you accept, if you were to do so. As to whether or not you'll enjoy it, well, you'll be fighting against opponents aiming to kill you, before you kill them." Valsh answered grinning slightly at the last part.
Kasce & Lyra:
Carrying the finished food, bacon eggs and some assorted fruits as well as plates and silverware, Lyra set them down at the table and sat down. "Well if you would like, I can give you a job running errands for me." Lyra suggested putting some food onto her plate. Kasce quickly grabbed portions of food and began eating with the realization that he'd gone the majority of the day before without food.

Harper
Female
Age: 24
Species: Werewolf
Affiliation: Civilian
Personality: Very headstrong, and independent. Extremely skilled with most types of weapons. One of those leader types of people. Generally very nice to people and polite unless provoked. Doesn't take much to truly anger her, but she can get annoyed very easily.
Appearance: Long black hair reaching to her lower back with neon green tips. About five foot one. Light green eyes. Stocky build, slightly toned. Ears are black and tipped green, as is her tail. Werewolf form: Six foot eight. Black fur with green streaks.
Other: Doesn't hide her ears or tail from sight and it causes her a lot of problems with the town she lives in. Runs a well known weapons shop in the town.
Ryker:
A small booth off to the side caught his eye and he moved over to browse some of the items. Upon further inspection, Ryker found that most of the blades were imitations and cheap. What he did find however, was a quality sharpener. A few minutes later, after a bit of bartering, he walked away with it. He smiled slightly, knowing Kira would truly appreciate the gift. A commotion in a shop next to him caught his attention and he quickly side stepped as a man came tumbling out onto the street, his face in the dirt. Ryker's eyes widened slightly, and he turned back to the store in time to see a woman with long black hair with green tips step out, swinging a pair of brass knuckles around one finger. The ears on the top of her head caught his attention next and he watched as a fluffy black tail swished behind her. She glared at the guy sitting up in the dirt. Ryker looked around and realized what the store was selling and he grinned. Weapons. Lots and lots of weapons.
Harper:
She was aggravated. She was so aggravated that the sword hanging above her register was starting to look very tempting. Harper glared at the man she'd thrown out of her store and put her fingers back through her brass knuckles. "Look, scumbag. Either you pay, or you get the hell out." She caught eyes with a man standing in a hat with his hands in his pockets, but she looked away, not really paying him any mind. She watched the man she'd thrown out stand and wipe his mouth. He glared at her. "You fucking bitch-!" Harper seemed to watch him move in slow motion. For a brief moment, she saw the man in the hat move, and the next thing she knew, the thief she'd thrown out was against the wall with his arm yanked behind his back. The man in the hat growled. "Excuse me sir, but that's a woman. And seeing as how I'm assuming you were trying to steal something based off what she said, you should probably leave." Hat guy obviously wasn't expecting the thief to try and break out of his hold. So when it happened, Harper reacted to the situation. As the thief swung on Hat Guy, Harper darted around and got the guy in the cheek with a side swipe and quickly followed with a round house kick to his ribs. The thief's eyes widened a bit and he dropped to the ground, coughing. Hat Guy looked over at her in surprise and then grinned slightly. "Thank you, miss...?" She looked at him for a moment, before deciding he definitely wasn't from around here. "Harper. My name's Harper. And it's no problem."

Nyrivin:
She grinned as Valsh informed her about what the tests were about. "Well, that's right up my alley than..." She replied, before adding, "Who would I be fight?" She asked, knowing that such things as dragons could be really difficult to kill.
Sylvia:
She smiled at Lyra, appreciating her kindness. "Oh, thanks a lot, but no thanks. I'm actually leaving this town in a bit with my friends... We're going on adventures and stuff." She replied, taking her portions of the food as well and placing them on a plate for herself. She picked up a fork and looked it over for a while, rotating it a bit. She hadn't used a fork nor any eating utensil for a long time, this was something that just brought back memories of when she did use these to eat. With a sigh, she began to eat. Her depression didn't last long as the food was aboslutely delicious in her mind. "Wow, that's good... Thank you!" She said, after swallowing her bacon. Only she felt that there should've been more bacon... But grudgingly, she ate the fruit and eggs too.

Valsh:
"A myriad of foes. Hopefully sent out in a slop difficulty setting." Valsh responded calmly. He could see the grin on her Nyrivin's face and couldn't help but think that her smile would fade away pretty quickly. "so do you accept the offer before you?"
Kasce & Sylvia:
"So you're leaving too. Which way would you be headed?" Lyra asked, beginning to eat, as Kasce went in for seconds. Noticing, Lyra glared at him slightly. "Not going to work. I have too much to do today, and I won't be able to hunt for food if I want to get home in the next three days." Kasce said about to start eating. He was interrupted by noise outside, to which he looked over at Lyra who looked back and smiled. "Go check. We haven't even finished our first serving."

Ryker:
Ryker was awestruck. He may not have been showing it visually, but he couldn't deny his mind had shorted out a bit. Sure, he was used to bad ass women, after all, Kira was his travel partner. But this woman... Harper. There was something different about her, even when ignoring the ears and tail. "So would I be correct in assuming you own this nice place here?" He asked with a slight grin and a gesture to the store. "I'm looking to buy a few things."
Harper:
She grinned over at Ryker slightly as he mentioned buying things. "Why yes I do~." Harper removed her brass knuckles and wiped some of the blood on her dark colored pants before walking into her store. "Here, follow me. Someone as nice as you gets a discount." After making sure Ryker was following her, she led him over to an area behind the counter. "Take a pick of whatever you like. You're getting a hell of a discount for helping me out back there." She glared at nothing and scoffed a bit. "Most people in this town would've just kept walking or cheered the thief on." Ryker looked up at her from where he was crouched browsing the knives, and frowned slightly. "Well, I've begun noticing that most people here don't care about each other." He smiled a bit. "My name's Ryker, by the way. I don't think I told you." Harper smiled down at him. "It's a pleasure to meet you Ryker."
Kira:
She sighed to herself as she walked out of the bathroom with her clean clothes on. Ryker still wasn't back from wherever he had gone, and the room was looking really empty. Kira found her mood dropping a little, and she stuffed her dirty clothes into her bag and sat down on her bed. She pulled one of her swords up to her and unsheathed it, looking it over. It was a standard katana to most who saw it, but to her, it had meaning. It had been her mother's wedding gift from her father. As she thought of her father, she glanced at the second sword she carried, but rarely used. It was a longsword, and the hilt was intricately decorated while the cross guard narrowed up next to the blade. The grip was black, except for the lines of white pattern, and on the pommel was an engraving of horned skull. Kira liked it more for appearance than for function, but she knew the strength of the blade. She had seen it in action, before it was even hers. With another sigh, Kira laid back on the bed. She really didn't want to start thinking of her family. It wasn't a way she wanted to start her day.

Nyrivin:
"Well, I guess I'll accept... Been a while since I've faced a challenge." She replied, wondering how difficult this really could be. She considered just refusing and going back to see Kira but she originally came here to do this, so she decided to stick with it. 'I need to keep my emotions in check... They're just pointless.' She thought. Nyrivin thought she could use something to keep her combat skills sharp.
Sylvia:
Sylvia was surprised how full she was after just one plate. Sure she hadn't eaten much lately but she never really knew how much she COULD eat all at once. Apparently it wasn't that much. She watched Kasce get up to go check what the noise was before looking back to Lyra. "Thank you so much for the food... But I'm afraid I need to go now. I need to go check with my friend." She said, with a polite smile.

Kasce & Lyra:
Kasce set his plate down, "Hang on a second than" Kasce said before jumping out of his seat and rushing into the store section of the house. "What are you doing?" Lyra asked, leaning over the table to see. Without answering Kasce walked back into the dining room, money in hand. "Here, as promised." He said holding it out to Sylvia.
Valsh:
A grin spread across Valsh's face. "Alright than. I will remember that you have agreed. So what would you like to know? I can answer any question you have to ask."

Nyrivin:
"To start, I guess the purpose of these tests." She answered, now leaning back in her chair and crossing on leg over the other. She didn't really want to know though she thought it best if she knew more about what she was doing.
Sylvia:
"Thank you..." She replied, taking the money and looking at it. It almost looked pretty. Such kindness had almost been forgotten in this town. "Well, I should get going, thanks again for everything." With that, she got up and left. Once at the inn she went around back and found the window to Kira's room, so she popped her head in and looked around. "Hello?" She asked, spotting Kira on the bed immediately after.
