Once Molly took the container of water he let go of it. Once the water hit the man in his face the child snickerd a bit before hiding behind Molly. Had the priest heard him? No, it didnt seems like it atleast so that was reasuring. Carefully he took a step forward looking at the man out from the safety of Molly. When he crawled away abit he got confused. What was this all about? As the two adults talked he listend in silence only to feel his jaw drop. "You are afraid of sheep?" he asked stunned by the realisation that someone could do so. He took the last step out from Molly, standing next to her rather than behind. "Why?" he asked compleatly confused. How could someone possibly be scared from sheep? They are just fluffy clouds with legs more or less. So ... is he afraid of clouds to? Maby, a bit amuzed at the thought he looked up at the sky, following a cloud with his rightblue eyes a moment before looking back at the priest, He was honestly afraid of the animals? But, how? Why? Nothing of it made sense to him. Why would someone be afraid of clouds with legs? To the small child it was compleatly unthinkable.

She listend to him some time before stretching her body. "So, I asume the clans elders wanted something as they sent you?" she asked while watching the fire dance infront of them. She hadnt been gone that loong, they all knew she was out collecting herbs for some experiments so why would they rush that? Had they gotten a new mission from the king? Nah, she isnt really the mission type. She mostly sits in her room making up new poisons or improving old ones. She rarly goes on missions unless she needs to test her poison. This means she isnt as good as some of the masters in the clan when it comes to fighting however she is still good enough to take down common thieves and even well trained blacksmiths. She have a few times taken down a well organized group of rebells, granted it didnt go without a hitch as she had been stabbed in the side at the end. But considering the fact that she need the element of surprice to truley be effective it isnt bad taking down seven at the same time. The first two had died pretty much simultaniosly, the rest had put up a fight, having her work quiet a bit with the sturdy and well trained men.

"im afraid not my lord, I am mearly a kitchen maid" the young woman answered while lowering her head. "Thank you for the offer my lord but we would rather stand" the hunter answerd just holding his wife gently is his arms. When the woman leaned against him he smiled a bit before gently kissing her on the cheek. The woman blushed massivly, pushing him a bit so the man smiled. "Sorry" he whisperd to her so she nodded slowly. The red maned hunter gently pulled her closer to him in a soft, gentle hug just holding her. How long had he been waiting for this? Missing her sent, her skin, her smile and laughter ... everything about her? He wasnt sure but it seemed way to long.

Emont

How can I not find the love of my life while everyone around me has fallen in love? How is it that when I look at the children in town I long for them? Emont wondered but no answers came to mind. His father came out and Emont got up and bowed to his father. "Emont I thought I told you that you didn't need to bow to me." Emont's father said. Emont laughed and stood straight up. Emont's father went over to Emont and patted him on his back.

"Father I want to go traveling." Emont said. "I need to see the world for what it is not just our town and castle. I promise I will come back." Emont's father nods and sat down. Emont sat down as well.

Selina

Selina woke up to the sound of the thieves and grabs her sword. When she saw the thieves she tripped on of them and held her sword to their throat.

"Make one false move and this girl is dead!" Selina threatens. "So just turn around and go back to where you came from!" The thief ran and Selina let the thief she held captive go. Selina sits down and puts up her sword. That was hard Selina thought now I should get going. Selina packed up her stuff and put it in the horse's saddle bag.

Zarune~ 29 years old~ RG

"I guess it has to do with a childhood experience..." Molly looked at him with an expression that stated that he might as well go on. "When I was a boy I live with my ma and da, on a small farm just outside of the kingdom much like this one. We had everything from pigs, chickens even a cow! And of course we had sheep. I was a rather naughty child always look for some reason to break something or to make someone mad. My ma and da weren't happy with me, they never seemed happy with me. I never felt loved in that house. No praise was ever given to me, only horrible beatings." Zarune pulled his knees up to his chest before he continued. "One day I got the foolish idea that I could tame the new ram ma had gotten. He was a black sheep, very wooly. Ma loved him more than she loved me. So to make her happy I went into the pen with him to tame him for her. I should have known better...." The man grew silent before lowering his head some. "The ram did what he did best. He rammed me, right in the middle of my back and pinned me to the ground. I screamed and no one answered as he rammed me over and over. Ma and da just stood there watching as I was beaten and broken. I passed out soon enough though not without punishment. Once I woke ma and da beat me more for being stupid and shipped me off to the temple. I guess it wasn't really the sheeps fault but still I don't trust them...."

Arcadius~ 26 years old~ DC

"Merely that they wanted you to return to them." He said looking up at her for a moment. "I know nothing more than that." Arcadius fell silent for a moment before looking up again this time at the starry sky. "Have you ever though about why life is like outside of this one? Like a normal life what is it like?" This nearly seemed rather normal, though he was sick and still had blood under his nails from the fight earlier. This could be normal...

The young prince listend carefully to what Zarune said. As he listend to the priest he couldnt help but imagine a really small version of the priest, almost like a dwarfen version, beeing the one in the story. They way he imagined his teacher as a child was nothing else than a minitature version of the now mature and adult man infront of him. In a way as when clothes shrinks by accidently beeing boiled by the servants and then shrinking as it dries up. Despite the hilariousness in the image of a really tiny version of the adult Zarune running around all over a farm he didnt smile, nor did he smirk. The story really hurt him in his heart. He seems so nice, kind and caring yet he had not received the same thing? Two brightblue eyes looked at the priest through golden strains of hair before the crownprince had taken two quick steps forwards, hugging the priest. "You have no need to worry any more. The job of a prince is to protect his people" he said just holding the man in a hug. His tone had seemed so calm and collected that for a momen, he seemed a lot older than he was, giving the impression of him fully knowing what his life would end up beeing. He then stood there in silence for a moment before looking up at Molly with a wide smile. "And I think Molly will help with that as well." he said just as calmly as if he had stated that she would follow them to the castle. He still seemed unnatural calm and confident, almost serene but the feeling of him beeing older passed just as quickly as it had come to the area surounding the boy. Fluffy that had eaten his share of the food begun to make its way towards them but as the boy looked at him the sheep stoped, looking at the child a moment before in a seemingly confused manner walking away. As the cheep walked back to its heard the child staggerd backwards before falling backwards while panting, having no idea why he was so tired all of a sudden.

"oh, I guess they have a new mission from his highness then" was all she answered as she pulled her legs up to her, holding her arms around it. As he spoke she looked up at him with her brightbrown, chestnut eyes before looking at the fire. "A normal life?" she said to her self before thinking. While humming a bit while thinking shelooked up at the stars glittering like small diamonds surrounding a massive pearl on black velvet. "Well I would probably be wedded to a man that would help my family either financial or socially and have given birth to several children" she said slowly while thinking about the rest. "Considering my family background I would most likely have been close to death each birth so I would be rather weak, making my husband angry as I couldnt do much work if i were to give him plenty of children" she said after thinking for some time. Both her mother, grandmother and greatgrandmother had all had trouble giving birth to their children, her mother almost dying as she deliverd Agrona.

NPC for Sapphire
As the small lord enterd the room he swiftly left his wife, kneeling on a apropriet distance, his right arm resting on his leg and the left one suporting him by his fist beeing held against the floor. His gaze was lowerd and he waited patintly in silence while his wife looked down at the floor. "my leige" he said in a polite tone still not looking up at the two nobles.

Emont

Emont smiled and then Adalwolf entered the room. Emont stood still looking at Adalwolf. He reached for his dagger still keeping his eyes on Adalwolf. Adalwolf rushed to Emont and Emont put his dagger in front of him. "I don't want you anywhere near me!" Emont yelled. "Stay away from me!" Adalwolf looked at Emont confused and yipped. Adalwolf then growled and Emont got closer to Adalwolf. He reached his hand towards Adalwolf and petted Adalwolf. Adalwolf stopped growling.

"I am sorry............ Adalwolf." Emont said.

Molly~ 25 years old~ RG

She looked form the prince to the priest then back to the prince before noticing that the boy was completely serious. He was really going to try and protect this man? With a smile she stood offering a hand to the man. "As a knight and a shield maiden you have my word that I will do nothing less than lay my life down on the line in order to protect you." One thing was for certain, the prince was going to make a valiant king yet. He had what his father lacked, a place in his heart for all people. Then again he had yet to see war, to see much more violence then that in which they walked up upon in the streets. He was not yet a man either, not a single trace of a beard washed over his face nor would it for many years to come. He was still a babe, not ready for the harsh world around them. In a way the priest was the same way. He may have seen the violence that one keeps at home, but never would be face the violence of war. He was kind and sweet natured to have came from such a back ground, if it did anything it was making him a better person all together. She liked that in a man, a kind yet steady hand, a chilled yet kind heart, and most importantly a filter that helped him determined right from wrong. So many people lacked that, they would do just about anything to get a woman to notice them. Not Zarune. He seemed as though he couldn't care less.

Zarune~ 29 years old~ RG

When the prince spoke it lefted him up some. Even a child seemed to care more about him then even his parents. The maiden stood then and said this giving him new hope. Did she really mean it? With a warm and caring smile he took her hand in his and helped himself up. The neckline of his cloak was soaked from the water as was his hair but he seemed not to mind at the moment. It felt like he now had a family for the first time in all his life, he had someone to care about him. "let's get going then. And thank you both, I can truly say that I needed to hear that."

Arcadius~ 26 years old~ DC

He looked away when she mentioned this. Okay then scratch that children idea.... "I'm sorry to hear that. I hate it that so many men think of women as only beings ment to carry their children. Honestly I think of women as partners in life, meant to help you when your injured or sick, meant to be there when you need a hand in battle, to have someone to call a friend. They are family really, and you don't treat family with disrespect. Those men that use women as just a way to spread down the family name are barbaric, they have no respect. My father was that way..." The man sighed closing his eyes again in an attempt to fall asleep yet he kept himself awake.

The two brightblue eyes stared at his feet a moment as he took deep breaths. This compleatly came as a shock for the boy. He feelt just as tired as when one of fathers generals trained him. Slowly he blinked before looking at his hands. He feelt, diffrent. Yes, diffrent somehow, as if something had happend and yet he had no idea at all. "Yeah, lets go" he said slowly nodding. He listend to both Molly and Zarune before shaking his head. This was really really weird to him but he turned around before walking after both Molly and Zarune. As he walkd a bit to the fence he wobbled a bit, almost as if he was drunk but after shaking his head so the golden like hair danced. With that simple movement of the head he cleared it yet he still feelt exausted. "Molly?" he asked gripping the fence a bit as he climbed out of the pen. The rough tree that the pasture was made of feelt as if he were scratching his hand against sandpaper so he quickly let go of t but not quickly enough to avoid splinters and ended up with a few in his hand. Althought it was anoying as hell and even hurt a bit he preferd it as the pain in his hand helped him wake up a bit. As the pain in his hand got stronger and stornger from the splinters the feeling of beeing tired went away, leaving him more awake than only mere moments ago. As he got a few meters out of the pen he sat down on a pile of hay to take out the splinters from his hand.

She glanced at him as he spoke. And as she listend she got a soft smile on her lips. "That is quiet a uniq way of seeing it" she said before looking up at the sky a while in silence. "Thank you." she said before looking down at the fire again. She cleared her throat a bit just listening at the wind slowly blowing a moment before looking at Arcadius, resting her head on her legs. "And you? What would you do?" she asked curiously. What would he do? Hmm, a blacksmith maby? Yeah, that fits him quiet nicely. Oh, or maby townsguard? Protecting a small town from bandits and upholding the law, she could easly see him as a townsguard as well. All of a sudden it hit her, he seemed uncomfterble about what she had seen. She should probably have hold her toung, staying quiet or not be as honest as she had been. She should only have told him about a husband and kids most likely. As the fire started to die out she put a piece of firewood on it, lettign the fire feed on the branch.

The man still stood on one knee infront of Emont and his father, just waiting. Were he not even acknowledged by the lord? He glanced back at his wife and with a small signal from his fingers he sent her away. If the lord is in such a crude mode he dont want her in the room. And as he saw her leave in the back of his area of vision. As she disapeard he relaxed a bit while still waiting to be adressed. As the wolf/dog hybrid got in he was even more relived as his wife were out of the room. Should he just stab the animal? Saving the people of this county from a terror in waiting?

Emont

I can't let my people suffer.......... forgive me you may have somewhat a heart of a dog the soul of a wolf lives Emont thought. Emont drived his dagger into Adalwolf's throat and then held cloth to the wound. Adalwolf gave a gurgle then the light faded. Emont started to cry and he looked at the hunter. "You were right......." Emont said. "I should have listened before. Now I finished this before my people could die. Though I have suffered a immortal wound." The blood stopped and Emont removed the cloth. It was soaked with the blood of this wolf dog. No more would Emont dream of Adalwolf ripping his people apart. Adalwolf's spirit understood but still Emont grieved no matter what his Father said to him to try and comfort him.

Emont ran to his room and locked the door. He sat down on his bed and wept.

Molly~ 25 years old~ RG

The shield maiden looked back to see the little prince having a bit of trouble staying awake. "Cullyn are you alright?" She walked to him and picked him up in her arms. He felt a bit warm to the touch, though it was nothing to be to concerned over. "Let's get you back alright? We all have had a long day today, and you may sir need to rest. After all who will triumph over this wild beings if you are too tired to?" She smiled tickling him some as she walked back to Horace and placed the boy in the saddle before looking back at the priest. "You coming?" She couldn't help but smile at him. So what he was like a grown child? He was still cute in such a way that Cullyn had only be able to make her smile at before. It was foolish to think that but that was how she saw it.

Zarune~ 29 years old~ RG

She smiled at him, causing him the smile back as he approached the horse and hopped up in the saddle after swallowing his sudden fear of the animal. It felt nice to be needed, to be wanted even. That's when he smelled it, it was sudden but it was coming from the boy. Magic? Had he used magic? As a priest he was trained to identify the presence of magic and now the boy smelled faintly of it. Could he have used a bit of magic himself? "Cullyn, your teachers before how much did they teach you before they went away?"

Arcadius~ 26 years old~ DC

"Me?" He hadn't really thought about it before. What would he do with a normal life? "Well I would start off small by chopping wood then I would buy a plot of land a built a farm, with a little cottage off in the woods a bit. Then I would get me a wife and settle down with you." He stopped for a second hoping she didn't catch that. "We would have a single child. For work I would most likely do a bit of blacksmithing or carpentering. "

When the young prince was taken up in Mollys arms he just put his small arms around her slowly nodding befor yawning a bit. Yeah, sleeping sounds really nice right now. For some reason he couldnt tell he was exausted. "it feels as if fathers officers have trained me ..." he mumbled while just holding his arms around Molly, hugging her. When he was tickled he giggled a bit, moving in protest but quickly calmed down as she stoped. As his teacher adressed him he looked up with tired eyes and listend carefully but it looked as if he were compleatly unintrested. "They just had me read the creation records and about the gods and godesses" he answered after what seemd like a eternity. "I dont want to read those again!" he said looking at the priest with a pleading look in the two tired yet brightblue eyes. "Im sick of those!" he complained looking straight at the priest not realicing how insulting he was. Telling a priest that you are sick of reading the holy scripts is like telling a blacksmith that his sword is as weak as a twigg, drie from laying on the ground for a loong time. Such a insult would earn any other boy a propper beating, even to the verge of beeing beaten unconsious. Atleast when this was said to a man of the temple. But as the prince even priests thought more than once before even raisinf their voice to him. Beating him, sure if they wanted their head on a pole.

She looked at him with genuine curiousity as he thought. He didnt know what he would do? He had honestly no thoughts about it? Her thoughts were disrupted as he started to speak about what he would do. She noticed him saying you and we without any troubles. She did however not show it, she just let it slip by as if he said her instead of you. She just smiled while blinking slowly with her head leaning against her legs that was drawn up towards her. "It sounds really nice, calm ... serene ..." she said in a surprisingly soft tone. As she closed her eyes she was quiet some time before speaking again. "The brew should be drinkable now, its a bit bitter thought" she warned him.
