Following the huge path that Sage cut in the crowd he jogged in long strides keeping up. As they were let in he saw her wink and the supposedly mighty warriors flush. Rolling his eyes at their actions he went in. Watching her actions he mentally put several stars next to the note in his head that she had extreme mood swings it seems. Marching beside her rather casually he looked her with a slightly raised eyebrow. "Eager to talk to the king? And by that devious smirk I can tell it might not be the most pleasant talk for him." He chuckled out.

Sage shrugged slightly as she spotted the king not to far off from them. She walked up to where there were two steps that lead up to his throne. The carpet around them was red and long. It was gold trimmings off to the side of it and it lead all the way up to the throne. The throne was coated in gold with a purple pillow to support the back and the butt of the chair. The king was sitting in it snugly as Sage curtsied the best she could. The king nodded and looked at them Sage still remaining in a curtsy.

Walking up Nex tucked his arm into his waist and went into a deep bow. He kept himself low waiting for the king to say something that would give him permission to stand straight. Looking down a the well embroidered carpet Nex began to admire it's beauty while he waited. It felt like forever he had to wait.

The king nodded, "You may rise." His voice echoed through the castle people were crowded to the sides of the carpet. Anticipation rose in the crowd and the room grew tense and sorrowful. Many seemed to fear the mission the king were sending these two as if they were being assigned it them selves. Sage rose and nodded to the king her playfully flirtatious look she had with the guards turned into a serious lets get down to business look. The king banged his staff against the ground. A guard came rushing over with a big makeshift box. He placed it beside the king and opened it. The king nodded to the guard and the guard took a stance to show his attention to the crowd.

Nex stood straight a calm look over his face. His eyes were sharp though. Taking in every detail around him paying close attention. When the box was carried over his eyes shot to that examining it waiting for someone to speak.

The king cleared his throat as he started to speak. Instantly the crowd went quiet and all attention was drawn to him. "I am glad you both have shown up. As I have mentioned you will be traveling to Neverwinter to assist in war. I have other on their way there right now and we needed a couple Magic users. From my senses you two are well trained in this art." The king put out his hand as the Guard at his side pulled out a coin bag and placed it into the kings hand. The king Motioned Sage forward and held out the bag to her. Sage quickly and quietly stepped forward. The king placed it in her hand and smiled down at her. "young one I will be putting my trust in you..." He looked over to Nex. "As I will be for you to." Sage put the bag into her clock and turned to walk off the stage but the king Instantly grabbed her shoulder and shook his head. With his other hand he motioned for Nex to come forward. "Please young mage, introduce yourself?"

Walking forward Nex bowed again and straightened himself before the king. "My name is Nex Umbra of Immilmar your majesty." He said in a proud voice. Standing still he waited for the king to address him again.

The king nodded again to them "I will be having a boat await your arrival. It will be in Telflamm and it will take you to Suzail. Yes that is about a month trip right there but they will request your assistance and most likely will be rewarding you, as will I when this comes to a end... You will never have to worry about housing again lets just say when this trip is finished." The king let out a whistle and 2 owls flew forward. He handed a white one to Sage and a more darker black one to Nex. "These are messenger birds. Loyal to the core... will go where you tell them to, If you ever need to send one here with a message for me or use them to talk to anyone you must." He tapped him staff once more and the Guard pushed the box forward. It contained an assortment of armors and weapons. "Take what you need." With that said the King turned around and walked off. He turned for a second. "My Guards will show you the rest of what you may take." The king then continued on his way. Sage looked into the crate to find nothing really to her liking besides a bigger cloak. It looked alot more roomy and comfortable. She pulled it out and draped it onto her arm. A boy ran over offering a piece of clothe that had been tied by its for corners. Inside it contained portions of food. Meats and breads of all types. Sage accepted the clothe of food as another one was offered to Nex. She looked back into the crate and with a smile pulled out a nice strong whip. She coiled it up and pulled out a small piece of leather which she attached to her right thigh. The clipped the whip in place and smiled with satisfaction and stepped away.

Nex nodded to the king's instructions already thinking about the journey. As the king walked away Nex studied the black owl on his shoulder. As Sage looked through the crate he accepted the bag with a nod and rubbed the kids head. Once Sage was done with the box Nex took his turn to look through it. Shuffling around her didn't see anything of much interest. Pulling out a medium sized dagger with a jewel embedded in the butt of it he slid it into his belt. Holding up a dark metal chest plate he looked it over before shaking his head and putting it back. Closing the lid he looked to Sage with a nod. Turning to the guards he waited to see what they had to offer.

Sage slipped the Cloak on over herself smothering the owl. It let out a weird squwak and she removed it from her cloak and rested it on the shoulder of her new cloak. It ran down the the ground and then some. She giggled and twirled in it letting it fill the air around her playfully. SHe felt the Owl cling on tightly and lower itself closer to her. She reached up and stroked its head. "We are going to have such fun." She whispered to it as the guard smirked and nodded to Nex leading them outside to a stall. He pointed to a wagon that had a horse attached to it. The horse was clearly not much for riding but it was mainly for pulling. With that the guard walked away letting them go on their paths to Telflamm. In the wagon sat a few potions and a map of the world.

Nex looked at Sage and back at the wagon. Shrugging his shoulder he put his bag in the wagon. Picking up the map a little confuesed of the location he was going he found everything on the map. Rolling it up he looked to Sage playing happily with the owl. "Well I have no other responsibilities in town, is there anything you want to do before we go or are you ready?" He asked as he idly stroked his owl.

Commodus looking around through the forest trying to find a trail of some sort. "Grrrrrrrrrrr, is this forest ever going to disappear," said Commodus with a frustrated voice. Commodus continue walking forward until the forest started to clear up a bit. "Finally, I think this is the exit in the forest." Commodus ran a bit to see if he found the edge of the forest. He reach the end and saw a opening to a trail, surrounded by trees. He looked down the path and looked the other direction. "which way, lets go right," said Commodus as he began walking down the trail, looking for people. Commodus rubbed his belly with his free hand. "I need to find some food."

Sage shook her head and threw her backpack into the wagon and climbed in. She looked around excitement in her eyes. Sage then went to the very front of the cart and put her backpack against the rim of it. With another yawn she settled down into her back as if it was a pillow. The own curled up next to her and she hugged onto it. It let out another squeak as she cuddled it. Sage wanted to just relax for now till it was necessary for her to get up. Her eyes stayed slit opened and watched Nex for him to start off their journey. He took control of the map and she was never good with reading them, so she decided its best if he guides the trip for now.

Smiling at Sage as she curled up in the wagon he said, "Fooled everyone making them think you were wide awake." He then grabbed the horses reins and tugged it along getting it to move. Leading it out of the paddock he walked onto the main city street heading for the golden high way. Tipping his head to many civilians and guards that stared as they moved by he made it to the city gates. Tugging the horse west they continued down the trail. It was almost completely straight. Maybe a few winds and turns that are to small to be mentioned on the map. There would be a bridge halfway down but that was another day. He lead the horse down the trail looking at Sage often nodding to the occasional traveler they came across.

Sage closed her eyes the movment helped rock her to sleep as she mumbled. "I was awake, Now I sleep..... again." She stopped for a second as if she had fallen asleep them she started to talk, but none of it made sense. "Bahlabooga. heh heh heh. moooo." She halfly giggled as she dozed off to sleep with her owl in arms.

When she was asleep Nex looked back and stared at her with wide eyes. He had two conflicting theories spinning in his head at the moment. One was that she had big mood swings and would make the trip interesting as she is a good fighter. And that she had some mental issues and would be a burden. Having seen her fight he really hoped that it was the first. But the nagging voice in the back of his head was yelling at him that she just said, bahlabooga and moo in the same sentence completely randomly. Turning forward towards the road he continued on.
A few hours later he pulled the wagon off to the side. Tapping her on the shoulder he asked in a hush tone, "Do you want to stop for a mid day meal or eat on the road?"

Sage sat up and looked around, her owl still in her arms. Her eyes were wide. "Nope" She said quickly as she moved back so her back rested against the frame of the wagon. She let go of the owl and it slowly moved away from her then made its way to her shoulder. She smiled to it and stroked its head. "So where are we now?" She asked curiously.

Looking on the map Nex shrugged his shoulders. "Not really anywhere specific. We're headed west for port and are on the Golden Highway. nothing to see except trees and dirt." He said as he made the horse go again walking next to it.

Commodus was still walking, when he stopped in front of a town. "Sweet a town, lets see what town is it. Telflamm, interesting name," Commodus said. Commodus began to walk into the town and looked around, looking for a currency converter. "Ah there's one." Commodus walked to the building and opens the door.
"Hello, what can I do for you?" asked The shopkeeper. "I was wondering if you can tell me the currency exchange with this old coin," said Commodus as he walked up to the shop keeper and pulled out a coin from his armor pocket. "Lets see." The shop keeper grabs the coin and looks at it through a magnifying glass. "Well I"m waiting," Commodus said with a impatient voice. "My, this coin is next to impossible to find so its value is 10,000 platinum pieces per coin." "Ok, I'll exchange one then." "It will be done." The shop keeper gather a bag of money containing platinum pieces and handed it to him. "Enjoy your day," said the shopkeeper. "I will."
Commodus left the building with his money. "Now lets go to the nearest inn and get some food," said Commodus as walked around. "AH there's one, and its right beside the lake too." He entered the building and saw a beautiful young lady. "Madam, I would like to get the best alcohol and food please," said Commodus. "Ok, do you think you'll have enough money, knight," Asked the innkeeper. "Oh I think I will," Commodus said as he took a seat with a view towards the lake.

Sage stood up in the cart wobbling slightly as it moved. She started to pace around it once she got her balance. "Are we there yet?" She asked in a childish tone. "Are we there yet, are we there yet, are we there yet, are we there yet?" She continued to ask before she went to the back of the cart then turned to face the direction they were heading. She placed on foot into a sprinting pose then ran forward a couple steps. Once she had as much speed as she would get in such a small space she jumped and landed onto the horses back. She wiggled her butt slightly and cringed as if it hurt. "Glad I am not a boy." She said and laughed as she grabbed the reins of the horse. It stalled for a second not used to someone on its back then continued on its way.

The inn keeper brought back some food and wine. "Here you go knight, enjoy the food," said the inn keeper as she winked at him and walked off. Commodus grabbed his headgear and took it off his head and place it beside him. He let his white hair sway in the wind. "Time to eat," Commodus said as he began to eat the wonderful roast in front of him with red wine by the side. After a few minutes the inn keeper came by.
"Say, knight could you help me with something?" asked the innkeeper. "Sure what is it you need my help with?" asked Commodus. "Well there is a couple of drunks in the inn, and the won't stop bugging me." "Sure why not, I can through them out for you." "Thank you very much, this way."
The innkeeper lead Commodus to two drunk people.
"Look the hot girl is back again," said the first drunk. "But she brought back a guy, thats no fun," said the second drunk. "There the two guys right?" asked Commodus. "Yes they are," said the innkeeper. "I'm sorry to pester you guys, but I going to ask you to leave." "And what if we don't." "Then I will force you to leave." "So be it."
The two drunks got up and smashed two bottles. The first drunk charge at Commodus trying to swank him. Commodus caught the guys hand and flipped over his shoulder slamming him into the ground. The second one quickly tried to smash the bottle remains over Commodus's head. Commodus quickly did a spin kick knocking the guy to the ground. He grabbed the first drunk and dragged him over to the second drunk. Commodus grabbed the second drunk and dragged both to them to the front door. He through both of the outside. "And stay out," yelled Commodus as he came back into the building and sat down. "Thank you," said the inn keeper as she bent over and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "No problem, glad I could help," said Commodus. She smiled and left again, and Commodus started to eat again.

kyomie Jumped back as she seen the two men get lodged from the Inn's door. A small yelp escaped her for they only landed a few feet away from her. She looked around wondering why they were thrown out and looked over noticing a rather built male in the door way. She tiled her head looking over at him then brushed her hair back from her unusual violet eyes.

Commodus stopped eating. "Wait someone was looking at me," said Commodus as he stood up and walked back to the door. "Hey there, you alright. I didn't hit you with those guys did I." Commodus hair move with the wind.

Kyomie shook her head then straightened herself up abit. "No Sir, I am okay.... May I ask what all that was about?" She stepped forward toward the man abit shyly and took in a deep breath. She felt abit nervous to this stranger yet comfortable. There was something about him that intrigued her.

"Ah, it wasn't really that much of a reason. The two people I through out were harassing the Inn keeper," said Commodus. "Not to mention there were drunk and they didn't listen to me or the innkeeper, when we asked them to leave. So I had to throw them out." "Say you want some food at all, I have quite a bit and I don't think i will finish it all?" asked Commodus.

Ky nodded slightly as her eyes lit up. She grew up in a poor family and there was never really much of a supply of food. "Ar... are you Sure Sir?" She asked in abit of a studder with a big smile upon her face. She glanced back over her shoulder nervously then moved closer to him almost moving behind him as if to hide herself.

"Yes I am sure, besides its more fun when your with someone," said Commodus as he glanced towards her. "Besides, you look kinda hungry, so why would I let you starve." Commodus turned around with his cape following behind him. "There is my table with the roast, veggies and wine," said Commodus as he pointed to the table. "Come." Commodus started walking to his table.

Kyomie let out a giggle and walked in behind him following him to the table. She sat down in the opposite chair of him and straightened out her own clothes. "My name is Kyomie, but people mostly call me Ky." She smiles and shook her hair out of her face again a smile still remaining on her face excited to meet someone new.

"Ok. My name is Commodus," said Commodus. Commodus poured himself a glass of wine. Commodus was just going to offer Ky some wine, but he had a feeling she was underage. "Say, judging by your clothes, you are not from a rich family are you?" Commodus took a drink from his wine.

Kyomie was abit surprised by his question and concern from what it seemed. "Ummm No Sir, no one really is... not in this town at least, the town with all the richer people is where the king lives, I think its called." She shakes her head. "I forget what its called." She lets out a small laugh
