Carl tends to get scared by a lot of things. Mostly from getting taken by surprised in any way. He's a smart horse, but maybe too smart for his own anxiety.\"*He'd say it in a thoughtful tone, practically thinking aloud regarding his horse as Carl would continue to trot along the grass at his side.*\"I suppose that helps in the long run with him knowing when to flee.

You were no domain of Macenkind, yet you, in all your beauty, drew Macens of all into your embrace. \n\nHer hair, brown and red, makes orange; the skinned logs of the forest, baring their smooth orange skin, glowed as if it was silk. Her ears, like those of a doe, hid themselves behind her hair; curious, poking out its head, they were which that hunters did not dare to kill, be it by their lovely youthfulness, or by the essence of their endearing nature. \n\nThose eyes like jewellery, glimmering an enchanting light green under the moonlight, like exotic emeralds that vain men purchase, only to stare into its depths every night in his lonesome— staring into the crystal's unending void, if not to fill his own; could any man resist locking his eyes with hers?\n\nVaulter felt a surge of blood rushing to his head, jittery and warm, cascading through his body and down to his toes, overwhelming, pleasant, and magical— he knew what it was, but he couldn't speak it. \n\nAh, if only the seconds would last longer. If only, he could capture this very moment in a painting. For now, he could, and must, only stare, lest the Lord of Time, in all his cruelty, took away what he so rightfully desired."

No one in their right mind would even think of wearing that in public, much less to battle. \n\nUnfortunately, that reasoning applied to people in their* ***Right*** *Mind...\n\nAvianna looked up towards her sister. Managing to run into her in these parts was a surprise, considering she hadn't seen her in years. It wasn't a bad surprise. In fact, she was quite happy to finally meet up with her again. Avianna was quite upset when she left home after all. She had aged well from the last time they had seen each other. Maturity was a good look on her sister, who had taken up the image of a disciplined soldier and model knight over the years. Had she not known her beforehand, she would've mistaken her for a noble.\n\nShe wondered if she had a man yet?*\n\n\"Fufufu... You've grown so tart tongued these years apart dearest sister,\" *She began, smiling at her sister as she gave her opinion about her choice of attire.* \"Modesty is a rather overrated concept. It would do you good to show some skin once a while— your prudence shines as brightly as that metal suit you wear.\"\n\n*She enjoyed dressing up like this. Enjoyed turning heads. Enjoyed the confusion. Enjoyed the occasional weapon finding purchase into her skin, ripping the muscle and organs. Breaking the bones. But she had to admit, the reactions were the best part.*\n\n\"Shame? I heard father once used the saying... A lion does not listen to the words of a sheep? I didn't think you were one to be so self-conscious. If anyone asks, you can just tell them I'm your exotic slave, being publicly humiliated as punishment. Ahhh! A walk of shame if you will!\"\n\n*Fantasizing about such scenarios brought her dark delight. It was obvious to anyone who was present that this woman had a few screws loose in her head. She hugged herself as her body actually shivered from the excitement of the thought.*\n\n\"Oh! But enough about me, what about you sister? Have you made any conquests besides criminals these days?\" *Avianna questioned.*\n\n\"I hear some unique shops sell undergarments made of metal. Since you enjoy armour so much, perhaps that would be a great fit for you? Men might pay you more attention if you were more... Inviting. Oh, perhaps you enjoy the thrill of leaving it to the imagination? Keep a sense of mystery?\"\n\n*Avianna's words were in half-jest and half-inquiring.

I'm baffled you managed to somehow become even less cute of a younger sister.\" \n\n*She shifted her position as she glanced at her armour. She didn't want to talk about the prude comment. While it was true that she didn't have a man and wasn't really feminine, that didn't mean she didn't know how to use her womanly charms and neither did it mean she didn't have the occasional fling.*\n\n\"I knew that your depravity had grown sister, but never, not even in my greatest nightmares would I have been brazen enough to think that you had fallen this far into your own sins.\" \n\n*Honestly, the whole walk of shame talk send a slight shiver down her spine, even if she knew that her sister was just joking. She hated the fact that she had to admit defeat here as while her tongue might be sharp, she didn't really have a response for her latest suggestion. Incest and public indecency were subjects she didn't feel comfortable joking about.*\n\n*At the mention of a possible love life that she had she suddenly froze up as a faint tinge of red appeared on her cheek.

But she had long since found her answer.\n\nThe smile on her face deepened.*\n\n\"Because it feels good.\" *Was her simple answer.*\n\n*The extremities of her actions... Yes, it was the only thing that could make her figurative and literal heart beating. The world was an amazing and complex place. The people in it were like rotating gears in a clockwork machine— she understood how each gear worked and how they contributed to the machine. She enjoyed sticking her fingers in, hurting herself in the process, but also help in breaking the machine bit by bit. \n\nIndeed, she wished to break the toughest gears. It would make her more than pleased to see the entire machine fall apart one day, but that was a dream best put on the bottom of the list. Her fingers, while accustomed, could only take so much abuse. Even for her.*\n\n\"Don't you think it's unfair sister? How the other races have advantages over us? The Mogash and the Onis have physical strength that naturally surpass ours. I've fought a few, and even the weakest of than is stronger than the best of us. What of the SIlnari? They have mages of calibres that we will constantly struggle to achieve. A grace that we will never reach.\"\n\n*Avianna squeezed her hands, feeling the hardened bone resist the pressure. Her constitution. The only thing that's managed to saved her throughout the whole ordeal. It was perhaps the only advantage she truly held over her opponents.*\n\n\"The ones I'm jealous of are the Oriates. Men and women who are worshipped just because they have furry ears and tails. What I'm most jealous about is their absurdly long lives. I've heard that some can reach a millennia in age—\"\n\n*Avianna suddenly burst into laughter.*\n\n\"My my, look at me, talking like I'm some sort of scholar. What I'm getting at here is that I want to enjoy my life to the fullest. As a human, my time in this world is very, very limited. Though I say these things about other races, the Empire is proof of our supremacy. The Elven kingdoms are but a shadow of their former glory, beastmen tribes squabble over pointless wars, Onis hide away in their scarce numbers and Oriates rely on their hedonism to sate their eternal boredom.\"\n\n\"Short answer; father probably dropped me as a child and now here I am.\""

The Oni might have the strength of many men, the Sllnari the magic of even our greatest sages and the Oriates the lifespan that looks more like those of the gods compared to us.\" \n\n*She shook her head as she smiled lightly, not being bothered by the supposed unfairness. She was well aware of the Macen's own advantages over all these races. Just as Avianna said, there was a reason why the empire ruled supreme even with all these other races that were much stronger.*\n\n\"But I also see that the Oni have numbers so pitiful that they might as well be extinct and the lack of any formal techniques of war and combat. The Sllnari lack the discipline and creativity and the Oriates lack the drive and ambition that brings out the best in our kind.\"\n\n*She smiled as she puffed her chest up ever so slightly always having been a rather proud human supremacist as she wasn't the biggest fan of the other races and for good reason. They were hard to predict and in the end, would always be a foe, no matter any alliances they might have now. If not for the empire the Macen would be on the receiving end of much abuse, she was certain of that.*\n\n\"We might not be the smartest, the strongest or the eldest of races, but what we are is the most driven.

She was a slow, but durable fighter and her sister was agile, yet frail compared to her. It only made sense for them to team up and despite her sister's horrible habits, Nova did trust her.*\n\n\"But I'll accept your offer, that means I can still keep you in check from killing a few too many people who didn't exactly deserve it, sister.

Fortunately, he still had his horse, which bore the burden of his equipment. Crown among the group of weapons was his composite bow, which he had used to scrounge up some local game. His archery skills weren't the best, but when someone was hungry enough, the arrows kept flying until they hit their mark.\n\nAfter his dismissal, his family had taken his prized armor saying that he wasn't worthy of bearing it. Lucky for him, the man's sentence wasn't a permanent one; he had at least been allowed an immediate family member's gift—coin. Coin enough for his horse, his leather armor, a lance and the sword he carried at his side. It wasn't *His* Sword, but it would do. Volgras had gotten used to using magic lately, but his battle acumen with it was nearly non-existent. If he got into a scrap, it would come down to his skills with a blade—which as with most Oni, were advanced.\n\nDays had gone by and something new entered his field of vision: a mountain. It wasn't a long peak by the looks of it, but it was *Different*. Different than the forever forest and perhaps different food."

Along with her horse, she held tight her sword in her fist while her shield and some carrots she had collected were attached to the horse. Kora knew she had to eat soon or could suffer consequences, but where could she find people at this mountain? She stopped for a bit, sitting against a tree and lightly hitting her head on the wood, her cyan eyes looking up to the cloudy sky.\n\nKora held her sword in front of her body, staring at the runes written on it and thinking about all the pain she suffered and all the events happened in such short time. Her left hand ran through her own hair and landed on one of her knees.\n\n*Is it my fault? Why do I need to do such a thing? I just wish you were here, Kai...* She thought and looked around, leaning the sword on the tree and walking toward Bloom, the Clydesdale with Kora's shield and loyalty. \"I think we will need to stay here tonight, Bloom.\" She chuckled and kept her smile for some seconds before it could disappear."

He had seen their efforts to soften his need for battle, although, they had been in vain. In truth, that had fueled his passion for the sport—seeing how much they wanted him to stop made the power he felt all the greater. It wasn't until they had shown him magic, the arcane, that his blood lust tempered. The best in anything are alone; they are at the top of the pyramid and equals become fewer and fewer. Volgras had become aloof within his the band of his own people. At first with the sword and then all the time he spent pouring over books.\n-\nIt was with this understanding of the solitary path that the demon trekked foreign territory, now. Volgras had grown to grab loneliness like a blanket on a cold night; a night like tonight where he assumed it was just him and his horse—the only companion he felt the need to talk with when he ventured. Everyone else be damned. Humans, elves, and all the rest... They didn't care about the oni, and now, the oni didn't care about him. *Fine. I don't need them. I don't need anyone.* It was a brooder's tone. A sentiment that he carried with him even before his banishment; the mood had only grown deeper like a maiden realizing her face is now that of crone: always there but now apparent to even herself.\n-\n\nThe stars began to twinkle as they do, and the tall blue figure decided it was time to break for camp. The cold air didn't bother him so much, but he didn't feel the need to fight off wolves while he slept. Fire aided in that department, plus he still had today's minute kills. Throwing his leg over the dark haired horse, it came to a stop where the man properly dismounted. The benefit of an endless forest was the limitless supply of firewood. After gathering enough, he began the slow process—unaided by magic—until there was a satisfying crackle in the air. Fiery sparks snapped and blew with the light cool breeze, while his horse fed on some oats after their jaunt up the mountain. The air was cooler here, fresher. It too knew the benefits and costs of solitary life.\n-\nPulling out the rabbits he caught earlier, he impaled them with a sharp stick and fashioned a stand to rest above the whipping flames. Those with a nose for food, eyes to the sky or just the watchful traveler might wonder into his camp. Volgras hadn't changed form yet, so he sat on a tree stump in his natural blue form. Youthful golden eyes with a tinge of blue and purple lit the camp as his arms coaxed the fire with another stick, sending bright embers sailing through the wind."

It had been a few days since she had felt anyone around this forest. Her horse followed Kora through the woods, approaching the camp made by the Blue Oni. The flames getting brighter as the two approached. Kora's senses never lied to her while she used them. \n\nThe red glowing eyes stared at the flames, her face and eyes shinning more by the light made from the flames. Then, Kora's eyes could slowly glance at the Blue Oni. As she caught sight of him, memories could run through her mind. Her hand landing by a tree hiding her body, and her fangs appearing as her mouth half opened.\n\n*\"The fire... I saw it everywhere. I heard my family and friends, all suffering and screaming as mysterious shadows attacked them behind the high flames. I saw everything... Even my loved one, Kai, didn't survive it. Why do people need to take everything from me? Why can't I have the life I wanted when I was younger?\"* Kora thought after remembering the most painful scene of her life.\n\nThe woman decided not to show any aggressive expression or movement, slowly walking from the shadows toward the Blue Oni and his camp. She had red glowing eyes, a long straight pink hair going down to her hips, with bangs. Her red horns were short-medium.

Physically, the red in her eyes gleamed like the woman he had been partial too before 'the accident'. The sight of them stirred his stomach not unpleasantly.

The marking hadn't gone unnoticed; seeing them on her blade pained him slightly. He lamented the loss of his own blade and armor.

Death in battle is honorable, but I can appreciate not seeking a fight.\" He poked the fire again before placing his prodder on the ground.

The elves were less so, but still denied his kind due to some form of racial elitism. Thinking on it, the Oni had become a little like that over time. Not with each other necessarily with regard to other species. So much so that they had ostracized themselves—at least in the case of the Blue Oni, who lived alongside the Beastkin Tribes away from 'civilized' society. \n\n\"I am,\" He replied cautiously, taking note of her fatigue and her show with the blade. \"So, you fancy yourself a swordsman?\" He took a bite of the rabbit on a stick; truthfully, the small game wasn't to his liking either, but if he didn't see a fish for a year, he'd be fine with that. \"What does a swordsman do on a mountain, alone?\" His eyes gleamed in her direction as they changed color to a bright azure."

He wasn't one to cheat someone of life; if she was to die by his hand, she would know it. Perhaps she thought similarly?

In truth, he knew he had to follow the elbow of the mountain range south and continue marching until he hit the strait. That's where New Salvainia rested, but the question was whether or not he was destined for its gates. Kora might know of some smaller towns—places with less people that would recognize him—that had use of a steady sword and fearless heart.

That and the taste of pork sounded divine. He missed the salty flavor that the gamey meat he'd found thus far lacked. When he reached the other Oni, he glanced in her direction. \"Ladies first.\""

If she knew about it, then he could at least prepare himself before entering the town. Moreover, he would know which form to take over; from the look of Kora, the Macen guise was probably best, but he would wait until the last possible moment before transforming into the vile creature. Though, he had to admit, he loved the way his azure eyes glowed in his human-like form.\n\nHaving finished off a couple more rabbits from the first to till just before Kora had awoken, Volgras wasn't in need of immediate sustenance.

Having nothing on him except for his sword, lute, armor, and backpack, the cold of the mountain and the frigid freeze of the night were especially bothersome for Arthur, considering he had no warm clothing on him. Shaking his head as he ascended the mountain, he had activated Burn Up! A good while back at 50 degrees celsius to set his body aflame, a measure to keep himself warm against the bitter cold. Eventually, he along with 2 strange companions had reached the top of the mountain. The first thing he noticed was a massive, gargantuan building that seemed to be colored a dull grey within the moonlight. Assuming this was the prison the letter had spoken of, Arthur wondered what kind of prisoner they had to free that was contained within the complex. He shuddered slightly, not because of the cold, but more so at the thought of what was imprisoned within the grounds. Taking out his father's timepiece, he saw the time set as 11:49 PM. He recalled that an employee was to provide more details about the operation, but Arthur hadn't spotted anyone besides those in his party yet. Even though it wasn't twilight, he expected that someone were to already be here waiting for them.

Arthur had prepared himself before hand and doges one of them, but the other guard that had spoken earlier swings his sword at Arthur's neck but stops it just before it cuts him.\nBog would land his empowered fist against the guard, knocking it backward as its helmet caves in but after a few seconds it lies on the ground dead. However those few seconds allow the Golem to still exist as it swings and it lands its sword against the back of your head before dispersing into mana.\nThe guard who had spoken up would look at Nox in confusion. \"Girl? This is the male prisoner's cafeteria time, there are no females here?! And even if it was the female's cafeteria time, 'girl' isn't exactly a good description either! Regardless, if this 'girl' is a prisoner here that you are trying to break free, then I'm going to have to refuse! I got your fox friend at choke point and you're being pinned by the golems. I suggest you tell your Mogash friend to stop resisting and take down the freed Mogash prisoner if he values your fox friend's life\"\nThe freed Mogash looks over the Bog, and looks as if he is ready to fight \"Look, I know you freed me, but if you are going to knock me out I will resist\"\n\n\nNox pinned down by the two golems\nArthur has his neck at chokepoint by 2 guards\nBog killed his guard/golem, but received a moderate wound to the back of head"

Noticing how close he was to death, Arthur began to panick a little bit. He didn't want to die tonight, but at the same time, he knew what he was getting himself into. However, the guards hadnt been careful enough to secure his hands, leaving Arthur still with a good amount of options. If he tried to cast Hellfire Blades, the guards would obviously notice and take action. Plus, he wasn't on fire, which meant he couldn't even cast the swords. Daggers of flame would obviously go noticed, seeing as they would orbit his hand right after casting. Earth shot didn't seem helpful either. The only truly good option he had was to quickly cast Enveloping Hell, but then that'd defeat the purpose of taking a hostage. What to do, what to do...*\n\n*Arthur suddenly came up with a plan of action, although he wasn't sure if it would work.

He held an unfirled spread of parchment before his mug, his eyes narrowed and nestled in a visage full of frustration; over the course of the next few seconds, that expression grew more fervent. Eventually, the boiling point would be reached and the man bursts out whilst simultaneously smashing the parchment against his face, **\"Why- do- map- makers- hate- me-?\"** Each word split by the various impacts sustained. His shoulders slumped, a groan escaped his maw and he turned towards his steed who was side-eyeing its rider curiously, **\"Don't look at me like that.\"** He approached the black warhorse, pocketing the parchment and beginning to pat the beast's head, **\"Arwin doesn't sound like the name of a good cartographer anyways...\"**"

"message": "*Such a peculiar day it has been. It was ever more eventful than what Dušana was familiar with. First, the meeting with the two strangers. Second, the mugging that occurred at the merchants district. Then finally, the discussion with the Kitsune. Quite ordinarily, the young Elf was habituated with the routine of going and coming back home without halting. Albeit, it appears that today was of disparity.* \n\n*Dušana's shoulders raised and fell as she released a steady breath. A slight smile drawing at her lips as she pondered over the events that transpired.* 'Curious indeed.' \n\n*Well, the day was coming to an end. Dušana was needed to be speedily if she wished to be home prior to the sun setting. Thus, onward she went. Quickening her pace as she adjusted the pouch that lay on her right shoulder.*\n\n\"Why-do-map-makers-hate-me-?\" \n\n*The words brought a furrow to the elf's brow. 'Who ever could that be?' The question was presently answered as Dušana perceived the sight of a man and his steed.*\n\n'Perhaps, the day's not over with yet.' *Thought she as she observed the situation in its entirety. It was patent that the man was troubled. So troubled that he even began to... Speak with his horse? Oh, nevermind that. At one point or another Dušana had to admit, she's done so of the same. For animals are immensely benevolent beings and are commonly misinterpreted. They make a good listener and friend if one is open to it.*\n\n*Allowing a moment to pass, Dušana stepped fourth. The man would then perceive her from his peripheral vision. To him, she wouldn't appear malicious. If anything, she seemed rather gentle. With her countenance carrying soft, azure colored eyes. A gentle smile to her naturally reddened lips. Her nose small however upturned. Her skin hue was that of a pale fawn. Finally, her tress was the most eccentric detail there was. Halting just at the beginning of her hips, the color was a pastel lavender.*\n\n\"Excuse me,\"\n*She uplifted her left hand as she slowly approached the man and his steed.*\n\"Do you need any help? Pardon me, I don't mean to intrude. It's just that I heard you and it sounded like you were in need of some help?\""

He turns his head towards the source, **\"Be ca-\"** He was surely about to scold the individual for being so abrupt, as he clearly didn't register her within his periphery due to how focused he was on the steed, then his lips froze before the sentence even gathered steam. His eyes cast back to his horse, **\"Daydreaming, Enno... Daydreaming. It's the sun! Has to be, the horse too; s'a cursed horse you are, Buck-\"** He seemed rather clear in tone, while he was conversing with himself, he didn't show any signs of lunacy with his speech pattern. \n\nEventually, he would look back at the woman, **\"All Gods, known and unknown, Buck-\"** He regards the horse once more, curling his arms under the beast's jaw and staring him in that beady, albeit patient black orb, **\"She's not a figment, two months! Buck, two months and now I have someone who can actually talk back!\"** He seemed to be passively insulting the horse's conversational etiquette, or lack thereof; he would then, thusly, turn towards the Wood Elf and nod his head apologetically, **\"You're a saving grace, My Lady; your beauty shines brighter than the midday sun could ever hope to, positively radiant,\"** There is pause to his heavy hitting, albeit honest words before he addresses her visually, **\"I deepest, sincerest apologies; I know I may seem crazed, but I swear I am merely a social butterfly who hasn't stretched his wings in a few months.\"**\n-\n\nHe holds his right hand up to his chest, crossing his frame and onto his heart, **\"To make up for such a lame and awkward meeting, my name; I am Enno. A roving salesman, selling his skills to locals; nobles, paupers, priests, and absolutely, to fair maidens such as yourself-\"** Another brief pause before he flushes, **\"I'm not a prostitute, a hunter; a baker too, an odd jobber really!\"** He exclaims hurriedly, despite the very real possibility that she wouldn't have gathered such a vulgar profession from his 'sales pitch'."

"message": "*Just the moment he was about warn her, Dušana froze within place. Surely, she hadn't meant to startle the man. Only, she was just curious. Hence, she began to withdraw a step back. Already wanting to apologize for her suddenness.*\n\n*However, the moment his line of sight came upon her, and he commenced his babbling—Dušana's demeanor altered. Not tragically, of course. Albeit, just slightly. It was evident just by the way her shoulders raised and her brows ever so lightly furrowed that she was indeed stunned. Quite commonly, she composed herself quite nicely. Albeit, this man caught her off guard.*\n\n*From then, she only Listened to the stranger thoroughly word for word. What caught her attention the most however, was how he evinced his feelings of prolonged isolation. Goodness, had this poor soul really been alone for all that time? Dušana felt profound sympathy for the stranger's misfortune. To be alone is... Atrocious. The young elf couldn't even begin to wrap her head around how that must of felt. This pity never manifested itself upon her countenance nonetheless. If anything, her expression was seemingly neutral.*\n\n*His speech began to make sense when he declared his apologies. It was then that Dušana's manner reverted back to it's calmed state. As her shoulders lowered, she pursed her lips. Now only just listening to the man and his introductions.*\n'He surely does have a lot to say.' *She mentally noted.*\n\n*By the time his introductions came to a conclusion, the corner of the elf's lips twitched up slightly. A gradual smile then painted itself upon her lips. This followed by a light, almost inaudible laugh. He was a rather eccentric character. How he spoke, the way he carried himself. It was all so amusing to the wood elf. To prove that, she raised a hand to conceal the little laugh that escaped her lips.*\n\n\"It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance Enno,\" *She said as she withdrew the hand away. Allowing it to fall at her side.*\n\"And do not worry. I never thought of you of like that.\"\n\n*Though this man was amusing, Dušana never offered him her name due to the reason being that she was wary. He was still a stranger after all. She didn't know him absolutely. Instead, she allowed her gaze to roam over the entirety of his steed. Her smile still proceeding.*\n\n\"You are a salesperson? What skills are you most practiced in? If not minding of my asking, of course. Lovely horse by the way.\""

I'm sure you must get it a lot, I don't doubt one could get annoyed by being told how captivating they are so often.\"**\n-\n\nHe squares his shoulders, then looks towards Buck, just now recalling her compliment, **\"Him? He's been with me since he was a colt! Was there when he was born too, we've practically grown up together. While I'm sure there are some who might be faster and stronger, but none could be more loyal to me.\"** He seemed quite proud of the stallion, so much so that his recanting of their bond drew him to pat the steed's head a few more times."

"message": "*As Enno carried on with his words, Dušana merely attended to him. What struck her the most, however, was when the man mentioned his unfamiliarity with the species of Elves. It seems to be that the more this stranger and her spoke, the more mystifying he became by the minute. She wanted to question where he had inhabited to make him so unacquainted with her species. Although, she found it wasn't her business to ask. The duo had only just met. Thus, it would be improper. That said, Dušana proceeded to listen to the man and what he had to say. And by the end of it all; she was at a loss for words.*\n\n*A few seconds of silence passed between the man and the elf. Within the midst of it, Dušana had brought her arms behind her back and interlocked her hands. She toyed with her fingers as she allowed her line of sight to meet with the man. From then, she studied him in his entirety. The two were awfully dissimilar. Whereas he was more vocal, she was more reserved. Such a dissimilarity was what brought Dušana to her quietude. For, though she wouldn't openly admit this, she respected the man's outspokenness. Commonly, individuals concealed themselves behind a mask. Never truly showing just who they exactly are. It was hugely rare to find someone who was audacious enough to wear nothing but a clear show of who they were. And it seems to be that Dušana met one of the very few.* -\n\n*To say she admired the man was perhaps a bit too extreme considering their recent introductions. Albeit, she couldn't help but appreciate his forthrightness.*\n\n*As she inhaled a steady breath, the elf's shoulders raised. All the while she looked beyond the man to the now setting sun.*\n\"No, Enno. It is you who is too kind. Your flattery is the first of its kind if I must be honest.\"\n*Drawing her gaze back onto the man before her, she released her hands from their fold, to instead, transfer them to cross at her chest.*\n\"Thank you, for your kind words. Surely I do greatly appreciate it.\"\n\n*The elf then guided her eyes to look back upon the steed. It made sense that they had been practically raised with one another. Like puzzle pieces, they seemed to fit when they were together. Almost as if they were one.*\n\"I can see you both have grown to be great friends. It isn't often that you see that. Really, all most folks seem to do is treat these exquisite creatures as if they were below them. Only useful for their journeys. Nothing more. But this-\"\n*The young elf jutted her chin in the direction of the bow that situated in its ringlet.* \"Had you made that yourself?\" \n\n*Being a carpenter; this area fascinated her the most. Though she was mediocre; she had practiced most of her life learning the dexterity of molding wood to into something more. Hence, seeing this bow brought her pure joy.*"

Truly, she couldn't discern whether or not the stranger was praising her on account of being sincere; or if he was perhaps putting up a front simply because he wanted something. He was being all too benevolent for the elf not to doubt. Yet, as she contemplated the alternatives—she felt her heart tauten. What if he was being genuine? How insulting would that seem. Chiefly, seeing as his ways have been nothing short of benign. Oh... But the young elf couldn't help her incertitude. Not when past occurrences have led her to be acquainted with the feeling.*\n\n*The fellow obtained what was a seemingly lovely disposition, this was without a doubt. Nevertheless, Dušana better keep to being wary. For is better to be safe rather than sorry...*\n\n*Still, the girl couldn't rebut that this interaction between Enno and herself was splendid. His uniqueness made the day entirely bewitching. This, she shall never forget and very much so appreciated.*\n\n*For now though, she would relish the time she had left with her new founded acquaintance. And as he went to fetch his bow; the forest elf almost at once displayed a show of elation. She desperately wanted to reach out and obtain the fine article in her hands. To feel it's contour bit by bit. To take in its ravishing entirety.*\n'Oh... How beautiful.' \n*This time, the thought manifested itself upon her gentle countenance. Her soft features transfiguring into a glowing mien. Dušana had to fold her hands together in order to halt herself from making any immediate moves.*\n\"My...\" *She was suddenly short of words. Surely, there weren't any words that could give justice to how magnificent this bow was. Honestly, it inspired her to create. As soon as she is to get home she will commence the development of her own bow! Yes, that would be just lovely! She could just see it now in her mind. What type of wood she'd utilize, what sort of structure the bow would cherish, the small yet consequential facets that will make the item all the more rich, the-*\n\n**\"May I have your name, My Lady?\"**\n\n*Such a question pulled Dušana's eyes from the bow, and onto the man who'd ask the unforeseen question. She shouldn't have been nonplused. Yet, as Enno asked the very question—the elf found herself caught taken aback. Perhaps... It would only be fair that she presented her name. Seeing as, Enno has already stated his own. This was difficult for the elf. Not nerve racking, but not simple either. Of course, she could always just provide a false name. For there was the possibility that she wouldn't ever see this man again. However, lying wasn't in the elf's nature. She could mention that she wasn't all too comfortable with stating her name. Albeit, that could potentially bring up questions regarding why it was so. And that was something she did not want. She could just offer an alias, perhaps. There shouldn't be any wrong in doing so...*\n\n*Just as she was about to speak up then, an offering came from the man. An offering that made Dušana astounded. Though this man scarcely had an idea as to who she was—he was already willing to offer her a ride home. On his very own horse, one shall add. This brought back conflicting thoughts for Dušana. Either he is doing this out of sheer genuineness, or he wanted something in return. Nonetheless, though the thought of it was kind—the young elf couldn't accept it.*\n\n*With a gentle smile forming upon the girl's lips; she raised her right hand and extended it out towards Enno. All hints of conflicting thoughts no where near evident.*\n\"You can call me Ana\n\n\"And Enno, I assure you it is alright. There is no need for you to go through all that much trouble. Besides, you and your steed has, by the sound of it, journeyed a far way. Surely you both must be very tired. In that case, I can show you a nearby inn where you both can settle in for the night?\""

It remembered of her home before turning into a slave. The fading memories still coming to her mind sometimes.

That golemling wasn't exactly what she was looking for in that place, but at least it made her feel less alone. A company that, although Mai didn't show it, made her feel a little happier. After all, even the coldest people in the world sometimes feel alone. She turned her head towards Puff and looked at the pebbles he had... Done.
