"We finished our praying. Now we must find the others so we can continue our journey back to Herelden." Landon said and walked out of the church with Skaar and Evela.

"We must keep an eye on you so you will not cause more trouble." Landon walked slowly, Evela was between him and Skaar.

"Should we stand by our horses or look for the others?" Landon asked Skaar.

Skaar grunted and rose to his feet, nodding curtly at his companions. He did not answer the "Mage's" question; his inner musings were not something he spat out for complete strangers. "Do what you wish. I will stand guard by the horses. If you have need of me, broadcast a plea... I shall here it and come."

"I will stay beside you and aid you in looking after this man." Landon said as they walked towards the horses.

"Better to have help in case of an emergency. I believe I have everything I need, either way."
All three of them arrived at the place they had tied down the horses. They were at ease at the moment.

"I'm sorry it was not my intention...I don't think I've ever treated you a damsel...I thought err felt..." He stammered in a bit of confusion, not certain how to proceed, the words that had flowed so easy before just refused to fall into place properly. He'd felt he had broken past something with her, but was he just confusing simple camaraderie with something else?

But how would that explain...You know maybe now is not the time.

"Yes I can get it." He decided that arguing about it certainly wasn't going to help. So wearing a little bit of a confused frown, he spun around to head back into the grove to retrieve her armor.

She took it from him when he returned, muttered a jumbled sort of thanks and returned to the market proper--more specifically, her horse. Swinging up into the saddle she addressed Skaar only because he was nearest.

"We're cutting the excursion to the chapel short; I'm leaving in ten minutes and any who are not prepared by then are being left behind."

She was uncharacteristically slouched, and preoccupied. Frustrated and confused about what just happened.

Vik'nar arrived shortly after. He nodded silently to everyone and as he passed Ellondra he perked up for a moment as if to say something but then quickly averted his gaze deciding against it. He pulled himself into his saddle.

"Berries anyone? They're quite sweet." Presenting the bushel still quite full of the fruit for anyone to take. The offering was instinctual though. His mind was elsewhere, churning away at reflecting on his feelings of what just transpired.

Landon had gotten up on his horse and sat there with Evela in front of him.

"I would love some." Landon said and took a few of the berries. He put a few of them in his mouth and found them to be quite delicious.

"Indeed, they are rather sweet. But may I ask if something is the matter?" Landon asked, looking at Vik'nar's distant face.

"Hmmm." Vik'nar was knocked out of his subconscious by Landon. He stared at the man for a moment before he remembered what had just been asked of him. "Oh. Nothing you need concern yourself with." Resisting the urge to look over at Ellondra as he said it, not wanting give away that their current states were based off each other.

Wanting to change the subject quickly. "In another matter though and forgive the forward nature of it." He winced at the poor choice of words and slowed down a bit. "When we first met I sent word to my cousin in Herelden on a hunch that The Guild might be involved in your father's assassination. I've received word and it seems my reckoning has at least some credence to it, but I won't know more until we return to the city."

"Very well then. I won't ask further. And those are truly great news." Landon said in a sort of calm and excited way.

"Once we reach the city and after we talk to the king, we must go and see if your hunch is correct. Now, get on your horse and let us resume our journey to Herelden."

Skaar smirked beneath the facade of his skullhelm; out of respect for his fellows, he did not pry into their minds... but the raw emotions the both of them were emitting allowed him to get a general idea of what had gone down. His mirth evaporated, however, when he picked upon the words "Guild" and "Assassination". He had thought he'd cleaned out that rats nest years ago... apparently, the vermin had grown bold in his absence, and had returned.

He would have to rectify that once they arrived at Herelden.

Evela sat on Landon's horse. Watching their conversations. He had no idea what they were on about, 'Assassinations? Guild? What are they talking about?' He thought to himself. He didnt say anything out loud for fear of sounding like an idiot.

"So... What are you going to say to the King for me? Or will I have to say it myself?" Evela asks the group.

"We'll say that we picked up a rather persistent straggler who nearly got us arrested in Swaere. For the rest, you should rely on your own tongue. Are we prepared?"

She waited, mount dancing impatiently on its hooves. Once Warees had saddled up, the Sergeant led them out of Flemworth and back on the road to Herelden.

The road to Herelden was a dirt covered gravel road, with the plains and distant forestlines to their left, and the distant mountains on the right.

Dusk had fallen and tiny little fires blosomed in the distance as Herelden came into view on the horizon.
They would surely arrive at dawn, if nothing encountered them.

There were not many dangerous on this road. The lack of woodline distanced the bandits, and the road was too small to involve any highwaymen.
Animals and wildlife mostly consisted of birds and squerrels, because nothing bigger than that were on the plains.
The grass was too damp for any tiger or lion, and the occasional tree and bundle of rock wasn't enough for anything to make a home.

Guards --usually 2 or 3 together-- often patrolled the road. One division patrolling at night, another during the day.

The beautiful black sky glistened with stars, and the full moon shone over the land creating a wonderous blue lighting that showered the grass and trees with an aura of brightness.

It's a beautiful night. Vik'nar though to himself as he spurred his horse forward to ride a few feet in front of the group. Not wanting to risk striking a light to read the rest of his coded letter, he wanted to be alone with his thoughts for a bit. What he didn't want was to sulk in the back of the column like a love sick puppy. He feels content to just stare out and enjoy the evening sky.

Herelden however, was nothing like Swaere or Flemworth.
The path leading up to the castle was barely visible for all the buildings stood in it's path.
However, the towers, the stone walls and the magnificent flags high upon Castle Herelden were visible and wonderous to view each time.

Around Herelden were the occasional farmlands and farm establishments where everyday people stopped their daily work chores and stood in awe as the group of rag tag soldiers came closer to Herelden.
Usually the farmers and children in the cornfields would see Guard patrollers and ask of the news and admire their vigilance. Now however, no-one dared say a thing and the children scattered as the horses protted onto the brick path that lead into Herelden.

The city was old, and therefor the stones were all misty and dirty and the wood was old and rotten at many places.
Very high chatter was in the streets that day and caravans, merchants and all sorts of folk walked the streets.

The group had arrived early in the morning, just after dawn, and people were still pouring out of their houses to see the new slashed prices.

"You there! Are you the envoy of the King?"
Called a man dressed in robes escorted by other men dressed in robes that covered their heavy armor, but not their weapons.

"And you are?" Vik'nar questioned the man. He wasn't just going to blurt out who they represented to anyone.

The man, appearing to be rather old and of the noble class looked up from his ledger where he stood.
Behind him was a finely sowed tent and the two armed men with him stood to attention and saluted the captain.

"I am Hodgar, I am King Herald's second advisor. We have been expecting you for quite a long while now"
The man waved his men to walk over to the group.
"I need you to hand over the item. The King will expect you shortly in his castle. However, he is unavailable at the moment due to a meeting of Noblemen regarding this very issue. He will be most pleased to hear of your return, he has been anxious the whole week you've been gone... though it is not a very long time"

The men silently stood there, holding out a big green bag toward no-one in particular.
"Place the egg you collected here, we must not stall this any further"
Said one of the men, trying to be extremely subtle and quiet as he stood by his comrade.

"Why do you even presume we carry an egg? We were only instructed to return an egg to the King if possible. Inform the King that we'd be happy to meet with him at his earliest convenience." After the incident with the scout, Vik'nar wasn't handing over the egg to anyone but the king himself. Nor was he going to make light of the fact that Ellondra carried a pair not a single one. The eggs had been safe with them so far, this bureaucrat could wait a few more hours if he was legitimate.

Vik'nar was clever, she thought, to make the results of their journey muted.

"Surely, the King will prefer to see us immediately? We can provide great insight on the matter to him and his Council. Let us through, then."
