Hazel nods her head, at ease knowing that she had told the truth and she wouldn't be punished.
Jay didn't worry too much about the threat. He doubted Seth would catch Ashia since his hound hadn't succeeded in keeping up.
Sparky finishes his chores at the moment and grabs himself a cup of water. He overhears Jay talking, in a low voice to prevent Seth from listening in from outside, to Hazel about the opportunity Ashia and Justin had put forth. Sparky watches the two get up and prepare to leave, Hazel taking Brandon with her. He begins to head after them. Jackson puts his hand on his shoulder, a simple but powerful gesture to hold the kid back from going off on an adventure he should not be going on. Sparky huffs and reluctantly stays behind though his resolve is that he will sneak out later to follow behind.

Olvan looks up when he hears the arrow hit the door. He stands up and reaches for his weapon, though he puts the weapon down once Lenori explains. "That's good news I've been waiting to hear. Let's figure out where the archer is and gather the information they can offer."

"If you can catch her," Lenori answers calmly, "I have a feeling the archer is the thief that Seth has been hunting for. Though if you want to go down their I suggest sending another group out to tail the archer's group. Do you remember two men. One with a fox spirit animal who would disappear for periods of time and the other had a paint horse spirit animal by the name of Shield? I saw those spirit animals but not their partners."

Ashia wouldn't wait for very long since she had no love for the Greencloaks nor they any for her. Nodding once to Justin they quickly rode out of there. If Jay and Hazel chose to go with them they would meet at the docks. In the meantime though they had to avoid all sorts of dangers from Greencloaks and other issues.

Seth limps towards Greenhaven in rough shape. He didn't understand how a group of conquorers had managed to get so close without Buddy alerting him. Frowning he remembered the red pepper. Of course that would mess up any animal's sense of smell for a while.

Olvan tries to think and remember. What Lenori said sounded familiar and, after a few minutes searching for the two Lenori was recalling, he also remembers. "Ah, yes. Those two. What do those two have to do with the thief and archer that Seth is hunting?" He sends a group to tail the archer's group, wanting to figure out where Jhi's taliman is and how the archer knows.

Jay trots to meet up with Ashia and Justin, feeling proud that the two had trusted him. Lunar was keeping watch over Jay to make sure he didn't get into any trouble. Hazel sends an occasional worried glance towards Jay, afraid he'd give the two away. Brandon was also tagging along. He and Hazel hadn't wanted to get separated again.

Jackson keeps Sparky busy with running the business. Jackson does not the young lad to head off to danger or to be too heavily influenced by Jay, who he knew had a tendency to let his tongue run on unchecked. Sparky does his jobs without complaint, though he is itching to head after Brandon.

"I got a look at the thief. She could be his daughter," Lenori explains, "They looked too similar not to have a familial relationship. Though do you remember how good an archer the boy with the fox was? What are the chances that skill could have been taught or passed down?" As she talks there is one heavy knock at the door and what sounds like a thud and a slight whine.

They wait paciently for Hazel, Brandon, and Jay before boarding the ship. She knew that once the Greencloaks picked up their trail it would be a race and a fight to find the talisman. This talisman she believed would be able to cure or at least ease the bonding sickness.

Olvan almost answers Lenori but he cuts himself off with a sigh and a worried glance towards the door when there's a commotion behind it. "At this point in time I should just stay standing." He jokes with a smile as he gets back up to answer the door. He hopes that whoever was behind it would be alright.

Hazel hadn't noticed Jay 'borrow' a few more things from other people along the way. She was grateful when they reached the docks and their friends. There hadn't been any danger so far and for that she was glad.
Brandon looks less than pleased with the boat, muttering something about how large bodies of water were going to be the death of him.
Jay admires the ship as they board. He does a good job at suppressing down feelings of disgust. The plan of being on the boat for a while made Jay all queasy inside. Call it whatever you wish, Jay didn't like being cooped up in a boat.
"What can we three ruffians do to aid you in your quest?" Jay chirps with a dramatic stage bow.

"First off you should know so you have time to leave if you don't agree, we asked the Greencloaks for help since where we're going in has been conuered," Ashia explains, "we're going to Zhong. Once we get somewhere we can talk than I'll explain more until then its safer for everyone if you just don't know every little detail. Though I will tell you this, what we're going to find can help chance the tide of war in our favor."
Justin looks around knowing what Ashia just said could be very dangerous.


Seth collapses with Buddy beside him. Both were very rough shape.
Lenori looks a little worried before running to get the healers, "I'll get the healers please Olvan stay with him to keep them alive until I get back. Seth you were suppose to take it easy until your ankle healed."
Seth's voice is weak but he tries to speak, "Conquerers nearby... tailsman." After saying the last word he passes out as Buddy gently and weakly nudges Seth.

Hazel nods, acknowledging and accepting Ashia's response. She didn't need to know everything at that moment, though she would have preferred to know everything since it involved Greencloaks.
Jay visibly shudders at the mention of Greencloaks though he does his best to downplay his reaction. "Understood." Jay had two reasons to back off at this point, but he didn't really want to. He cherished the possibility of adventure and success ahead of them and wanted to pursue it.

Olvan stayed with the two and did as Lenori tells him. He shakes his head. He should have known that Seth would get in trouble. He shouldn't have let him go. But then again, Seth had potentially found a lead to a talisman. He sighs, "You better not die on us." He says Seth.

Ashia notices, "I don't like the idea either but don't have many options. Greencloak allies fighting and creating a distraction works to our advantage." Noticably Scarlet was in passive state.
Justin looks around waiting for the ship to set sail or to see a Greencloak ship whichever came first at this point.

Buddy weakly growls at the thought of either of them dying. Lenori rushes back with the healers who take both to the imfirmary.
"Any clue what happened," One of the healers asks.
"Seth said Conquerers."
The healer shutters, "He might make it. If he makes it through the night he has a better chance. Though it's best to talk to him now while we treat him in case... you know."

Hazel nods. The point is understandable and a logical course of action. Drummer is in passive state. Brandon sits near the front of the boat, staring out over the horizon and blocking most everything else out.
"So, I'm assuming we'll have a plan ready when we get where we need to be but not everything is going to be revealed at the moment." Jay says, leaning against the railing of the ship and keeping an eye out for the Greencloaks. He looks reluctant, but he calls Lunar to passive state.

Olvan follows Lenori and the healers who take Buddy and Seth. When given the request, he thinks about the chances. "I trust your judgments and, if Lenori has no opposition, we will do as you suggest."

(sorry for taking forever.)

(It's okay)

Ashia nods once, "There's a reason I promise and you don't have to keep your spirit animals in passive state. Scarlet just hates being on ships."
Justin smirks, "Yeah last time Scarlet was on a ship things didn't go well."


Lenori looks at Olvan, "I have no objections. Do you think that Seth found something?"
Seth looks up at them still as pale as death but alive. Buddy went into passive state after a few more seconds.
Lenori motions for Olvan go talk to Seth first.
