Araris glanced around the inn. Sailors just given shore leave were drinking to their captains, loved ones, and the mangy old dog lying in the door. The bartender, of the name of Hutch, calmly wiped the counter, seemingly unaware of the fight that held the rest of the inns interest. Two men were fighting over an interesting-looking knife. One of them, much taller than the other, pushed his advantage and was slowly forcing his opponent down to the ground. The other person, much shorter and squat, turned red with the effort to continue to breath. Suddenly, with the ease of a well trained warrior, the squat person reached up and slammed the taller on the ground. With the explosive release of a pent up breath, the taller lay there, stunned. Satisfied, the squat one picked up the prize and started for the door. Just then, the watch arrived. “Is there any problem here?” Yelled the head most guard. The taller person leaped up and bolted for the door.
As this was all very fascinating, Araris concentrated on his meal. In a soup bowl, floated some sort of meat. He did not ask what it was and was satisfied that it wasn't spoiled or rotten. He needed to keep up his strength if he were to board one of those ships tomorrow. His arm throbbed from a cut not quite healed yet. His spear lay on the table. This drew some odd looks, but he didn't care. In the tough part of Teirm, one needed to keep his wits, and spear, close at hand. The tip was covered with a cloth bag. Here, valuables disappeared faster than a bolt of lightning. Meanwhile, the watch chased the taller one. The winner of the fight appeared quite pleased with the turn of the events. He sauntered over to a maid and started to boast of his great victory. To hear him say it, though, and it sounded like he fought the greatest fighter on earth and survived. The maid, however, witnessed the whole fight and promptly ignored him
After finishing his meal, Araris leaned back in his chair. Picking up his mug, he drained what was left of the drink. Another day, another leaf yet to be turned over. Nobody needed to hire a guard in this town. Nobody trusted strangers anymore. Curse the Empire forever thinning that they could control the land. All they have done was make things much worse. Just then a thought struck his clouded mind. The taller one seemed afraid of the watch. What had he done to have such a fear? Immediately shrugging off this thought, Araris began to nod off into a deep sleep. The bartender, seeing him, shushed the place up. Stirring, Araris remembered to pay for the supper. “Much obliged,” said the Innkeeper. After that, Araris remembered no more, except for the thought of, "I wish I could be hired onto a ship."

The summer was all too hot for my taste, the normal wardrobe was not as comfortable as it once was in the spring, fall, and winter months, but it was what I wore. The long black sleeves went down my arms, covering my hidden blade that I used more then enough. The black pants were tight around my hips, flaring out over my black boots at the knees. All my clothing was skin tight, except for my black cloak that my father had made for me years ago. The cloak waving around me, causing the heat to be trapped around my body, but I wore it for a good reason. Both my hands were covered in black gloves and my other dagger was snug on my hip, opposite the hip that held my sword. The pommels of my blades a dragon head with gold gems laced through the silver pommel, placing the gold in the eyes, teeth, and along some of the scales. It was beautiful and they never left my body, unless I slept in a secure area or a place I knew that peasants would not come around.
I could hear the sound of thunder, my own mind was littered with the thoughts that were coming from another being, the being that was now flying above me. He had left me for nearly a month to a month and a half and he was already flying without anything except the wind. He was hidden within the clouds and beginning to annoy me with his own thoughts of the empire. I was raised in the empire and he was complaining about them constantly. "I have my reasons to dislike them."
[/color] His voice had deepened a lot and she glanced up at the clouds, a flash of black showing from the clouds before disappearing into the gray and white clouds again. I looked back ahead, the street going down hill towards the sea. I could see the black clouds towards the horizon, the sun above only making them darker. "The storm is going to be bad, I hope you have a place to sleep."[/color] I looked back up at the sky and then ahead. I would find a place before the storm got here, that was not my mission, but I was going to be stupid and allow a storm to catch me off guard. "It will not be hard to find a place, that much can be said Osiris. What about you?"[/color] His mind sent me a picture of a roof top that was the highest and a place he could sleep. I smiled, knowing I would probably figure a way to meet with him tonight or join him. I returned my mind to the street ahead, it had emptied some because of the coming storm, but the sun was still beating down, causing sweat to come down my face and neck, down my shirt and back. I could hear what sounded like a pair of feet heading towards me and I turned in time to see a man running from guards. I smiled, tossing my foot out and causing him to trip, my own hood coming from my face, showing my long braided black hair was I pushed my hand on his head, making his face press into the stone cobble road. "Lady Nayeli!" I turned my face to look at them as I picked the man up. "This is a surprise, but we thank you... This is another Varden scum, I'm sorry we bothered you." I pushed the man towards the guards and smiled slightly before I nodded to them and turned. "I can't believe you did that."[/color] I had a feeling he would have objected but I just moved down the street towards a inn. As I entered, many men looked at me, even the bartender looked towards me for a moment. I showed Osiris where I was and then made my way up to the bar, looking at the man. "Dinner and water, Bartender."[/color] I did not drink, but I placed the money before him and he just smiled and pushed my coins. I looked at him for a moment and then smiled, getting the hint that it was on the house. I knew the bartender and he knew me from years of coming here with my father. He also knew that I was more then just a normal woman. "Where can I put my cloak?"[/color] He reached out over the bar and took it for me as I removed it, my tight clothing showing off my body, the body that showed fitness. I turned back towards him and then looked around, seeing a open table near another man. I pointed to the table and he nodded and I took my seat. "How is looking out there?"[/color] Osiris showed me the image I wanted, lightning and thunder, along with rain hitting the streets closest to the docks. It would not take long for the rain to hit the streets outside and the wind to pick up. [/blockquote][/size]

Araris stirred in his sleep. Outside, a commotion seemed to be happening. Suddenly, a voice popped up from the street, “Lady Nayeli, this is a surprise” After that the wind picked up and Araris couldn’t understand what was being said, except for the words Varden scum. Drifting back asleep, he paid no notice until the door banged open. Through eyes half open, he could not see much of the intruder. It was obviously a she and she seemed to be decked out in fine assortments and finery. After briefly chatting with the bartender, she sat down on the table next to him. After looking contemptuously at the food, she nonetheless began to eat.
Seeing now that he was never going to get any more sleep, Araris sat up and stared at his table. A glass of ale was laying there. Glancing at the bartender, he inclined his head and picked up the gift. Just then, a party of men walked in. Most of them were soldiers, crisp appearance, but very much at ease. However, it was the man at the front that caught his interest. An officer of high rank, the man had black, wavy hair and a long, prominent nose. His eyes especially, caught Araris’s eyes. They seemed to look at nothing and take in everything. Araris never saw this man, but he bore a strong resemblance to Rene Roc, a high official in the empire. This was nothing special, but Araris murdered that man five years ago and his son witnessed the whole thing. And now the sun of the man was before him ordering a drink.
Quickly, Araris began to think. Outside, the winds picked up. Hopefully, the man wouldn’t recognize him and leave. No such luck. The man ordered a drink and sat down at the table nearest to the door. Reaching for his spear, Araris accidently knocked down the glass in front of him. With that, the whole inn stared at him. The man, with cup to lips, stared at him with shock and then with recollection. He had remembered.

The soup was okay, though I did not like it much, it was food and I did not mind it, as long as it was food. I wondered if any of the Soldiers were going to come in because of the rain, though I knew it would, already a few were coming in and taking their time to get settled into the already crowded pub. I allowed my mind to wonder as I watched a man near me sit up and finally wake from his sleep. He had a pretty nice spear, I had to take that into consideration. "I'm guessing you are safe now."
[/color] I smiled at the voice in my head and just sent him a picture of me nodding. He growled to me in his mind and then showed me where he was landed compared to the pub. "Met me here tonight if you want, I will keep a place dry for you."[/color] I nodded slowly slightly and ate some more of the soup, looking at it with ease. The sound of the doors slamming open caused me to turn my head in little interest. It was the son of Rene Roc, a man who was murdered, though, if I was not mistaken, he was like my father, stupid and arrogant and needed to find death at his door step. My father and him had been friend, yet my father talked about him like he was no more then a piece of scum, but when they were together, they were complete buddy-buddy. I knew it was him, I saw him clearly, he looked like his father and I saw him catch my own eyes, a smile appearing on his face for a moment. I rolled my eyes, he had been trying to win my heart for years, though for him, it was not working very well. "Do you need me closer."[/color] I looked back at my soup, ate a few more bites and then set back in my seat. I sent him a gentle no through the mind and just looked at my mug of water, taking a swallow. I was in no mood to spend my evening with this man, though he was not like his father, I did not care for him much anyway. The man near me caused a small commotion and I turned slightly to see liquid falling to the ground and many eyes on him. I knew that I needed to stay out of this, but I saw Roc's son stand, as did I and walked towards him. "Arron Rocson, it has truly been a while."[/color] I looked at him carefully, pulling my black braid around my shoulders and allowing it to fall over my chest and stomach as it dangled. He looked at me and then back at the man who had caused a commotion. "That is has Nayeli, but if you will excuse me, I believe I have found man responsible for the death of my father," I stopped him once again, looking him right in the eye, my eyes blue eyes lying to his face. "Arron, your father's death was many years ago, their is no way this man is him, he is far too young," I did not know who the man had been, but as he looked over my shoulder, he nodded carefully, offering me a seat with him, taking all of his attention. I could hear the sound of Osiris deep in my head, telling me I was getting into a lot of trouble, but something in side was telling me to help the man, though normally I would give them over to the Empire.

Seriously. He needed to stop sending her out on these missions to kill his 'enemies'. Of course, he had and eye on her, so she had to kill him this time. She had used her sweet voice and the flattering of her eyes to get the information she needed. The bar was a good place to start looking. Dressed in a dark cloak and her usual assassin black clothes, she hid her swords under her coat. In her right hand was the hidden knife she used to kill the people with.
Getting off her horse, she walked up slowly towards the inn. With her hood still on, she quietly stepped into the noisy bar where everyone seemed to be talking. There seemed to be another woman in the bar, which Arwen found quite interesting. She rarely saw women in bars. Truthfully, Arwen loved to drink and to know that someone else that was a girl who was drinking was unique and very particular. Walking over and abandoning her quest to kill the man, she sat on a stool and commanded in a cold tone,
Ale and some food, Bartender. Now. The man stared at her for a moment before she barked out the word 'now' and he jumped slightly before running to get her some of her alcohol. Her blue eyes flickered towards the other girl and she then suddenly noticed it was one of the nobles in the king's court. She swore under her breath before tapping her fingers impatiently. Her head turned towards the man comming through the door. A small smirk appeared on her face when she noticed who it was.
Bingo. The man she was going to kill tonight. Her stool created a noise when she backed it up. Taking her hood down, her blue eyes locked on to the man that had looked up at the sound. A small smirk appeared on her face when she strode up to him, looking sly and wicked. She touched his shoulder but he seemed to shrug it off. Arwen's smile turned dangerous before she grabbed his arm and tightly gave it a squeeze.
Dante? That is your name, am I correct? a cruel smile came upon her face when he began to look uncomfortable at the look on her face. His eyes seemed to flicker towards a few people that were sitting at a table newby and Arwen frowned. Giving a sigh, she pushed him towards a chair and sat him down.
If you're trying to get some of your weak little friends to save you, it's too late now. He was about to shout before Arwen clamped a hand over his mouth and narrowed her eyes dangerously. With a twist, he tried to punch her and get a hold of her. With the quickness of an elf, she twisted his arm and with a loud crack, she broke his arm. With a cruel smile on her face once more, she sat him back down.
Now. Now. Let's settle this quietly, dear Dante. Smirking, she flicked the secret knife and plunged it into his gut. He let out a gasp before sinking down in his seat. Arwen then wiped the blood on his shirt before taking his arms and placing it infront of him, making it look as if he was going to sleep. Walking back towards the bar, she gave the bartender a sweet smile before taking a sip of her ale.
One down and two more to go. Arwen muttered under her breath before taking another gulp of her drink.

Araris was glad the cloaked woman walked in and killed one of the guards. It gave him time to think. The son of Rene clearly recognized him, but was somewhat confused. Arron was sitting at one end of the table with Lady Nayeli, apparently talking about old times. This was interesting, Lady Nayeli knew who the scum was, but to Araris, it seemed that she didn’t like him very much. Arron on the other hand, was both smitten and a little afraid of her. Ah yes, a seam that he could exploit. The guards, taking their cue from the officer, blocked off the exits. Sailors were at first shocked at the turn of events, but returned to their drinks. The squat man, winner of the fight last night, was trying to one up another sailor vying for the same maid.
Standing up from the table, he sauntered over and sat at the table. Arron paled and reached for his sword. Lady Nayeli just smiled. “I see you have met Nayeli, Arron, I worked for her old man. Yup, knew him quite well.” Araris said, praying to any deity that listened that the lady would take the bait and follow along. Amazingly, Arron paled even more then possible without fainting. Yet he sat there, dumbfounded.

I had saw her enter, Arwen, a assassin working for the king, but also someone who hated the empire, like Osiris did. Osiris liked her, which was rather off for him, but I did not complain, I also liked her some what, at least she was like me in a way, cold blooded and not many friends. We were both trained to kill and that was a major plus. I watched her come in, black cloak and everything as she moved into the place, knowing quickly she was not hear for pleasure. I, however, was not completely here for pleasure, but I was done for the night, I was settling down and the weather outside was getting worse, I could hear the wind picking up and the rain pelting down on the roof.
I looked at Arron for a moment, his eyes had settled on me for a moment, which was not always the best things. I could hear Osiris wanting more then anything to land on the roof above me now and let out his roar. He had grown since last time Arwen had seen him, he was still too small to ride, but at least he was bigger then a horse. "The moment he touches you, I will be sure to kill him myself." I smiled slightly and looked at him for a moment, his own mind I knew was on me getting away from here. "Well, Nayeli, it has been a long time, many years, you have grown into a very fine woman." I smiled, taking the compliment to allow the other guy a chance to get away or think of a plain. "I am surprised, you are actually helping someone who is probably against the empire."
[/color] I did not express that in any form, this was new to me. I helped the empire and then I didn't. I did not know what side I wanted to be on, I was scared. I glanced over at Arwen and then back at Arron for another moment. "Yes, it has been a rather long time."[/color] I said, looking at him, allowing myself to look completely relaxed. I knew that this would only make things worse for me, but it was either sit on the fence and let this man die or possible do something. I had this feeling and I knew I needed to do something about it... Now. I could not help but look at Arwen as she went on her own quest, taking some Ale and food from the bartender, who even glanced at Nayeli for a moment, I gave him the high sign and he nodded, doing as he was told and also putting it on the house for the woman. I watched what happened before me, the man not far from her, Arron and the other man was just sitting there, eating, drinking, having a good time. I watched as the man took on a new look, fear kind of but Arwen had the look of determination and she watched carefully. She was going to kill this man and something inside was telling me to do something, but I knew it had to be done, she was being watched and I could do nothing but allow it to happen. The knife went into her victim and she put him down and made him look like he was sleeping, no one but a few people noticed and I turned my eyes back to Arron who seemed to notice something. "How have you been? Your father? I have been meaning to come by and talk to him." I did not like that form of talking, I knew it was about me and the growling in my head told me a lot more. Arwen killing also gave the man a chance to think and maybe it was the fact I was also talking to Arron, the son of Rene Roc. I had to be some what flattered by him as he touched my hand and I wanted to pull it away, but I did not. "What would you want to talk to him about?"[/color] I was not going to like this answer and I was lucky for a moment, his eyes had turned away about that time and he went back towards the man. I turned my eyes and then went back to him. Then the man came towards them and sat at the table and I looked at him, giving a smile. “I see you have met Nayeli, Arron, I worked for her old man. Yup, knew him quite well.” I looked at Arron and smiles slightly. I did not know the guys name, but I could play along quiet well. Arron was slightly pale, but he just shock his head for a moment and then came back to the real world. "Aww, you know him, Nayeli? Very odd, but yes, I need to speak to your father about some very important matters," I nodded at him for a moment and then turned back to the other man. I just smiled, waiting for him to continue. "Tell me you are close?"[/color] The thunder roared overhead, but I could tell there was more to that thunder, there was the feeling of flying in my heart as Osiris took off in the storm and I knew he was coming to stand overhead in case something were to happen. I felt his mind searching and connect to Arwen. "Arwen, I hate to bother you friend, do you have a extra horse, two extra horses, I know that I can not fly with Nayeli yet, she needs means to escape if something is to happen."[/color] His voice echoed in my own head and I knew that she would answer him, though he would have to tell me what she said, I knew she could get what was needed. I, for some reason, trusted her. Color CodeLady Nayeli - E54C4COsiris - A92929[/blockquote][/size]

Looking around slowly, she then took notice that the girl was Nayeli. Her face brightened slightly before hiding herself slightly. Perhaps it was best if she didn't bother the girl since she seemed to be in a conversation with another guy. A man, in fact. Familiar, his face was. Arwen swore that she had seen him before. Shrugging, she shot another look at Nayeli. Should she call her Eli? No. That sounded too weird. What about Nayie? Nope. Too childish. Arwen then decided that the name Nayeli sounded the best. There were no nicknames for this girl. It was too difficult at the moment. She glared at the bartender who was looking at her again. Arwen then realized that her hood was down. No wonder the bartender was staring at her. Rolling her eyes, she picked at her food, feeling bored again.
A voice in her head then made her jump. She nearly yelped, but only looked slightly surprised. Looking calm again, her blue eyes then stared at the plate infront of her. Her brows furrowed slightly before she realized it was Nayeli's dragon talking. Osiris was his name. "Arwen, I hate to bother you friend, do you have a extra horse, two extra horses, I know that I can not fly with Nayeli yet, she needs means to escape if something is to happen." Arwen smiled. Finally. Something to do. With a smirk, she got off her chair and looked at her friend. Nayeli. It was strange to call her friend, but what else could she call her? In her mind, she linked it to the dragon and said,
Let me handle this. Walking over, she said in a loud voice, Goodness! Nayeli? Is that you! I haven't see you in ages! Come! Let's talk. Excuse me... Arwen gave an overly cheerful expression to the girl while elbowing Rene in the gut. Arwen shot the other man she didn't know a cold smile before looking back over at Nayeli. Her blue eyes locked on to the other girl's blue eyes. Looking back at Rene who she had gutted in the stomach, she gave an apologetic smile.
Oh dear. I'm sorry. Oh well, you'll live. You're a big boy, aren't you? She smirked at him, looking catty. Without another look at the other man, she grabbed Nayeli and said with a look of amusement. So many men around you! You must be very popular with the boys, aren't you? She gave a soft snicker before pushing the other girl out of her chair. Looking back at the two men, she cheerfully waved at them before saying,
Excuse me while I borrow Nayeli here. We've got lots of important matters to discuss. Arwen smirked at the two before guiding the other girl towards another part of the room. Leading her to a secluded area where a table and to chairs were, she whispered urgently,
Nayeli! Who were those men? Her blue eyes flashed, looking concerned for the girl. Looking back over towards the men, she shot them a smug looking smirk before rolling her eyes and looking back at her friend. Thunder could be heard and Arwen did not like the sound of it. A frown crossed her pretty features before she looked at her friend, her eyes looking annoyed. She hated the weather sometimes. There was no way they were going to get out of here without getting soaked. Hell, Arwen didn't want to go out, just because of one stupid guy. Now looking at Nayeli again, she rose a brow,
You don't mind if I kill him for you, would you? I mean, he looks like an idiot. Just look at him. He's freaking staring at you now. He's starting to just irk me a little bit. Arwen growled. Her eyes glared daggers at the other man who was staring at them. With a sigh, she looked bored again. There is no way I can get you out right now. It's too dark and it's pouring outside. There's only one way to get him off your tail. Either I kill him or I beat him up so badly that he just won't be able to stand up.
Arwen smirked, looking amused by the ideas that were piling up in her mind. Killing was exciting and even though she didn't enjoy the idea of killing innocent people, she enjoyed the idea of killing a man who worked and who loved the empire.

Araris watched as the assassin took Lady Nayeli to another table. That didn’t upset Araris. However, Arron Rocson seemed quite distressed. He leaned back in his chair and took a sip of ale. This, from Arron? Araris stared at him trying to see behind the mask. His father, Rene, knew too well that stupidly can be a mask for brilliance. “So, Araris” Arron said, “I haven’t seen you for what, four years? Tell me, how did you escape that trap?” At some predetermined signal, both doors slammed open and guards poured in. Araris grabbed his spear and leaped up. Arron also leapt up drawing his sword. The bartender, seasoned in bar fights, wisely kept out of it. As more soldiers appeared, they surrounded everybody, except for Lady Nayeli. Ah, an empire-loving agent.
The soldiers gathered all sailors and kept them in one place. The bartender, Lady Nayeli, and the maids weren’t even glanced at. Arron, with a sneer on his face, proclaimed, “Araris the blacksmith, you are hereby a public enemy of the empire, on grounds of killing Rene Roc, not five years ago, who, as we all know, was a high ranking official”.
Upon saying this, one sailor, old and experienced, perked up. He looked right at Araris and winked. Suddenly, the inn erupted. Sailors, seasoned in fighting the empire, drew knives, axes, and anything else they could get their hands on. The old man stood, there, bellowing orders. Seizing the opportunity, Araris spun around and took out the nearest guard. Arron starred in disbelief as the room fell into chaos. The assassin, reaching for her weapons, firmly urged Lady Nayeli to flee. Arron, getting a grip on the circumstances, charged at Araris. However, being a seasoned fighter, Araris expected this. Twirling his spear around, he blocked the sword with the butt and jammed the point into Arron. For a few moments, the injury did not register on the officer’s face. Then, he went pale and fell to the earth. The old sailor, seeing that the bulk of the enemy was taken care of, walked over and extended his hand. “My name is Brand. I am the captain of the Red Dawn a ship anchored in the sea. I am looking for a man of your talents to be a bodyguard. If interested; meet me at the docks after this storm blows over. From the looks of things, you are now an enemy of the Empire. Know that all my boys also hate the empire”.

I looked at Arron for a moment before glance back at the other man who had joined us, whom seemed to know Arron also. I knew that this was not going to be pretty, but at a clash of thunder, I felt in my heart the feeling of flying ending, Osiris was just overhead, which was a good thing. I allowed my eyes to look around, seeing how the guards were getting ready for something, knowing it was Arron's own doings. I was going to help the other guy, I knew that much and I glanced over at Arwen, she was eating and drinking, but I was not such if she had yet to speak back to Osiris. "Dear Nayeli, you have grown more beautiful, I must say... How old are you now?" I smiled at him, not at all minding the fact he was being a flirt, though inside, I wanted to kill him, I knew better. He was close to the king and all who knew me would know that I was also close to the King, in a way.
"Eighteen, soon to be nineteen,"
[/color] I could tell that Osiris was not enjoying his conversation, not one little bit, but I had to do something in order to keep things running smoothly, to get my 'worker', out of this place. I felt Osiris was communicating with Arwen, I felt him so strongly now since we have both made the choice that we hated the empire more then anything in this world. I had made the choice after hearing what had happened to his mother and her own rider at the hands of Galbatorix, but I still had to serve the empire in order to get what I wanted... Out. "Eighteen? Wow, you have grown up! No family beside your mother and father still?" I had a feeling that question would pop up, but I nodded. "No, no family yet, don't want one... I have my own plans in life."[/color] He did not have a clue about Osiris, which was a good thing and I knew Osiris liked the idea of keeping that a secret from him. "Let me handle this." I looked up in time to see Arwen coming towards me, a smile on my face. Osiris had told me what she had said. "Goodness! Nayeli? Is that you! I haven't see you in ages! Come! Let's talk. Excuse me..." She was cheerful? She was acting and thank goodness, I needed another girl here to help me out, at least some what help me out. I watched as Arron, son of Rene got elbowed in the gut. He had the air knocked out of him slightly, which was not surprising, he had never been the toughest of men in the world. "Oh dear. I'm sorry. Oh well, you'll live. You're a big boy, aren't you?" I smiled at her slightly, looking at Arron and touching his hand. "Of course he will, he is Arron, a very strong man."[/color] Okay, so I was laying the flirt down hard and I did not mind right now. I felt Osiris hit me in the head with his own thoughts. I felt myself being grabbed by Arwen and pulled away slightly. I went willingly, smiling at her for a moment. This was going over okay, though I still had a really bad feeling. "So many men around you! You must be very popular with the boys, aren't you?" I laughed, looking at her for a moment, then looking back at Arron. Most of the men in the Army loved me, I was sometimes the only woman they saw, but they knew better then to come to close. "Excuse me while I borrow Nayeli here. We've got lots of important matters to discuss." I looked at her for a moment, being pulled away and to a more secluded area, but I still saw Arron and the other guy. "Nayeli! Who were those men?"I allowed my eyes to travel over them once again. "One is Arron, son of Rene Roc, a very high ranking officer who was killed by that man who was with us... Something inside told me to help him out and I was."[/color] I told her, looking at Arron. He had always been a friend of the family, but I had hated him. I watched as Arwen shot them a smile before looking back at me. The thunder above was getting louder and I could Osiris' own growl hidden by them. I glanced out the window, which was streaming with water now, making me think about the word I had learned from the elf. "You are not strong enough for magic yet, don't even try."[/color] His voice echoed in my mind and I mentally nodded to him. "You don't mind if I kill him for you, would you? I mean, he looks like an idiot. Just look at him. He's freaking staring at you now. He's starting to just irk me a little bit." I laughed slightly for a moment, turning my head back towards him. "I know you want to, but we can not, he is too close to the King,"[/color] My voice was very low so no one but she could hear. I looked back at her for a moment and then back over to the table. "There is no way I can get you out right now. It's too dark and it's pouring outside. There's only one way to get him off your tail. Either I kill him or I beat him up so badly that he just won't be able to stand up." I looked back at her and smiled. "I can get away from him fine, I just need to get that other guy out of here, something inside is telling me to and I have to do something."[/color] I knew I could get out, it was the other guy I was worried about getting out. I looked over as I saw the guy leaning over the table, Arron was calm, much to calm for my liking and I saw them speaking about something. I did not know what was going on between them and I did not like being unable to hear anything going on. The doors seemed to bust open, everyone was silent and guards surrounded everyone, except for me... "Perfect! Osiris! You may be needed soon." He growled with the thunder again, I could hear him. The bartender was calm as ever and I moved towards the two. I looked back at Arwen just as Arron spoke. “Araris the blacksmith, you are hereby a public enemy of the empire, on grounds of killing Rene Roc, not five years ago, who, as we all know, was a high ranking official." I looked at Arron, this was not going to be good. I had to help, pulling my dagger from the hidden place on my arm, the bar turned into a battle ground. I moved quickly, missing the sailors and taking out many of the guards with just a simple cut to the throat. I pulled my hood over my head and moved as quickly as I possible could. "I'm coming down!"[/color] Osiris could fit through the door, he was only as big as a horse now and he could get in. His roar ripped through the room, his body busting through the door and his tail sweeping at some of the people around, not caring if they were empire or people who hated the empire. He slashed at anything near him and looked at me and Arwen. He let out another roar, which sounded more like a high pitch scream as he moved further in. I ran over to him, many people yelling "Dragon!" I turned slightly, my dagger in hand as I signaled to Arwen. I moved towards the other man, moving by him and stabbing another empire scum. "Come, I can get you out of here!"[/color] I looked around for a moment, seeing a guard who was confused. "Lady Nayeli needs help, she ran out the door, take your men and protect her."[/color] Many of the men looked at each other and ran out the door, Osiris let them move and I ran towards him again. "Arwen, come on!"[/color] His voice echoed in my own head for once and I looked back at her, sailors were ganging up on others and Guards were beginning to file out, many had gone searching for a lie.

The sailors had it all under control. Then that dragon crashed through the wall and the people scattered. Araris followed Brand out the door. briefly, he stopped at the door way, hesitating for a moment. he couldn't leave Lady Nayeli. However, she seemed to be the thing the dragon was protecting. Ah a dragon rider. Yes, what a fine kettle of fish this turned out to be. He could never try to save a imperial Dragon rider. However, she did try to help him. Torn between the decision Araris was yanked away from the door by Brand "Are you nuts?? You are going to die".

Very sweet. Moving on. She had basically shown with a tug on her friend's arm. Listening to her tell her who the men were, Arwen observed the man she was talking about. Her eyes narrowed dangerously and turned back to the other girl with a raised brow. Seriously? One of the king's right handed men is here and we're not going to kill him? Oh, hey. I know a spell that could kill him. Nobody would know! Besides, if I do end up killing him, nobody would even notice. It'll be quick, I promise. Arwen smiled sweetly, her smile turning evil. The smile didn't last for long for she frowned and her brows furrowed. Another guy? What other...oh. Him. Her blue eyes assessed him from head to toe before giving the other girl a shrug.
I'm sure he'll be fine by himself. I mean, it's not as if he's gonna get...arrest-- Arwen was cut off by the sound of someone shouting things on how they were arresting someone. Looking over quickly, her mouth dropped. That bastard was arresting someone! With an annoyed glare at the group, Arwen then was about to get up. With a soft whisper to Nayeli, she told her. I'll handle this. It'll be a bit difficult, but I think I can... Trailing off, she paused as she watched a fight form in front of her eyes. Alright. Maybe it wasn't the best idea to go and free the guy. Hell, there were a lot of people fighting now. The girl frowned at this point, wanting to get to the man. An idea came to her head and she shared her idea quickly.
Now is my chance! I can kill that guy...what's his name? Arron! I can make it look as if a sailor did it. A wicked looking gleam came into her eyes. Without another word, she put on her hood and made her way towards the little battle. With her hidden knife, she stabbed a few of the guards, throwing them against the sailors who caught them and killed them again. Arwen made her way towards Arron, her blue eyes locking on to the form of her enemy. She was about to move in for the kill but she heard a loud crashing sound and looked up. It was Osiris. Her blue eyes widened slightly, the wind caused her hood to blow back. Her black locks flew back from the gust of the wind. Her name was called and she saw her friend running towards the dragon.
It was all so chaotic, but Arwen decided to leave. Running and pushing a few people along the way, she joined Nayeli. Glancing back, she looked around for the man that her friend wanted to save. No where in site. Where the hell was he? Her blue eyes narrowed as she finally spotted him. There. He was running away. With a hiss, she told her friends,
The man that you want to save is over there!

I looked back at Arron before the fight had broken out, everything was calm... Well, for the most part, but it would not be long before the sailor, or that man killed him and I was left to get the hell out of here. I knew my place for sleep was not going to be here, and I doubt I would have a place to sleep for the night. "You will have a place to sleep."
[/color] Osiris confirmation was enough to calm me slightly. "Seriously? One of the king's right handed men is here and we're not going to kill him? Oh, hey. I know a spell that could kill him. Nobody would know! Besides, if I do end up killing him, nobody would even notice. It'll be quick, I promise." I gave her a look that basically said, 'seriously.' There were to many people here that would know me and know that something to do with me at killing this guy. "I doubt we will have to do that, something tells me we will not get a chance."[/color] I said before I tried to move away towards the two, now that Arron was yelling at the guy. I knew this was not going to go over very well. As the fight went crazy and Osiris came in, I sent men after me, in a way. I just told them that I had gone running down the street after someone and that it looked like I needed help. "I'm sure he'll be fine by himself. I mean, it's not as if he's gonna get...arrest--" That was when everything happen, the fight quickly went crazy. I moved through the crowd, right before Osiris came in and people started yelling 'Dragon', which just caused me to roll my eyes. "I'll handle this. It'll be a bit difficult, but I think I can..." I smiled back at her. "I doubt this can be handled."[/color] I said, moving pass people quickly and watching as Arron fell to the ground, blood now coming from his mouth... Dead... I smiled down at him and then looked around, pulling my hood over my head just as Osiris came in, causing the wind to blow back. "Now is my chance! I can kill that guy...what's his name? Arron! I can make it look as if a sailor did it." I looked over at her and smiled, pointing to the dead Arron on the ground. "Someone was quicker!"[/color] I smiled and moved past a few people, getting along side Osiris. "The man that you want to save is over there!" I looked and then nodded quickly. "Osiris, lets get out of here!"[/color] He did not argue with me, moved back and took off into the sky once he was out. I went towards the man, slowing. The fight was still raging, but I was going towards the man. "I guess trouble follows you."[/color] I smiled, my black hair was in my face some, but my ice blue eyes were shielded by the hood. I looked at the captain and nodded to him, glancing up as the thunder and lightning crashed overhead. Osiris was up there, searching for a place for us to stay.

"Ay, that is does," Araris replied. They were standing in the door way, getting drenched with rain. Brand looked around nervously. The rest of the sailors tried to put the room back together. Araris still didn't know whether the rider could be trusted. She was an imperial rider, yet she seemed to be wanting to help him. Turning to Brand, Araris said, "Brand, this is too dangerous for you to be near me. I will think about your offer once I get out of the city" Relieved, the sailors turned and walked off. The barkeeper glared at the Rider. "I hope that you will pay for all of this" he said, shaking a fist. Araris replied, "My good man. Think of all the people that will come to see your quality establishment. People will flock here by the dozens to gaze at the hole made by real dragon. Think of what that means in money," Araris spoke the bartender's language and he started to bow to the rider, praising and worshiping the magnificent beast that appeared. Turning to the waiting ladies, Araris said, "Come, Brand has offered a place to talk. The imperial rats won't be able to find us there".

Her blue eyes glared at a few sailors that passed her by. Some tried to attack her. Guess she looked like a girl from the Empire, she thought. She didn't stab them, for that would just prove that she was more towards the empire than the varden. Instead, she took a hold of their arms and snapped them back without feeling any remorse. Hey, they were the ones asking for it since they were the ones attacking her first. After snapping a few legs and arms of stupid varden idiots some sailors, she ran towards Nayeli. With a grin on her face, she laughed.
I saw him. Pity I wasn't the one who killed him. With rain pouring over head, she was soaked in moment's time. Blinking in the darkness, she squinted and tried to see what exactly was going on. Her entire cloak was soaked and was feeling heavy. Taking it off, she pulled it over her head, trying to block the rain. It failed. Grumbling, she put the cloak back on. No use in throwing theuseless useful thing away. The dragon was still there, and she was running with Nayeli. The wind blew into her face while the raindrops hit her face like rocks. Fuck, it hurt.
A moment later, they were back to where they had started. She skidded to a stop and looked around. So, they hadn't gotten far. Rather, they were almost in the same place as before. Her attention was caught by the man that Nayeli was talking to. She silently listened, her blue eyes staring at the man. When the bartender spoke, she snapped at him with a cold tone,
Oh, shut up will you? You're lucky to even be alive. Her blue eyes flashed angrily at him. God. What a wimp. Always thinking about money. Beggar man. Flashing the smile she kept usually hidden for she looked quite much like an elf when smiling like this, she graciously said,
I think I mean this from all of us when we thank you for letting us stay in here. She gave a small bow before straightening up. She didn't quite trust the guy since she had just met him and had just realized that he was sort of a threat to the king. She had an urge to roll her eyes before she just continued to smile tightly. Arwen had much of a sarcastic manner and hated people who ignored her on purpose. She stuck closely to her friend, Nayeli, looking at her. Was it truly safe enough to actually go and sleep in there? Were they going to kill them in their sleep? Arwen wouldn't sleep tonight anyways. She had too many things in her mind.
The girl really wished that Murtagh and Thorn were here to run away with her.
