*The feeling of not being safe at Hynes side got even stronger as she walked through the gates and entered the wilds*
*Still Acting like she didn't suspected a thing, she asked* "Shouldn't the inytiation be inside the city? It wouldn't be that smyart to do it out here"
*Luminya quietly took her dagge, trying to make almost no noises at all, and hold it hided it in her sleeve, being ready to defend herself at anytime*

Along the hike Hynes had overheard an original distressing noise, she wasn't certain exactly what it was or what could've caused it but it was the reason she had originally followed the particular path out of the city. As Hynes settled out she paced herself to the bickering ambience she heard a few hikes away. Perhaps by this time she had been tracking a different group of people, or animals. Whatever made her stand up and uncoincidentally suddenly chase after the noise was bewildering to her.
She still had her priority of the neko in mind but curiosity had taken the better of her for a brief moment. However at the end of the day what could she lose, it's not like she's going to run into one of her former clan mates all the way in the dense forests of the mercer land. Along the way she lost herself and spaced out thinking of the bigger picture. Where was she really going, was she just wasting her time all along. She had her way to deal with this sort of consciousness, *Take things one day at a time*.Don't worry about things ahead of you if you have problems right in front. At least this kept her quiet and motivated most of the time, but it never stopped her thinking about her past; despite how much she wanted to just run. Perhaps that's what kept her going, the thought of running away from her problems. She herself

Could never face it, she didn't blame herself either cause she knew no one else could face it; it's not her fault. Finding herself pausing she looked out flinching, turning her head she was abruptly paused by the leap of a bunny rabbit. Growing a smirk she chuckled to herself before continuing to trace the origin of the noise. It was another day. Another. Fucking. Day. Though unlike any other day, this one is not so quite an irritating one. At least the lush forests, green pastures and cooling breeze calmed herself, unlike the times she had to go to this ice desert of a land. A land once known to be full with beauty and life... Or so the legends of ages past have said it was. Tightening her grip she let out a disappointing long breath, speaking out softly to herself as she continued to walk. Whispering quietly to herself she spoke out.

'Oh Hynes, can you go five steps before rethinking your life choices all of the sudden. Just- relax, maybe you'll find peace then. Or find a hobby- or a man, Oh what am I saying. Just find something one day to take your mind off things and just live. Hmmph.'

A short while further into her walk, the sun had just begun to flare up over the distant horizon and cast a deep indigo shade over the sky. Along with that, Hynes could have sworn that the air itself was beginning to thicken, and with that she knew instantly that their problems were yet to be dealt with. With a scowl, she'd put her

Head down so that the little light that was cast over her from the rising sun wouldn't touch her face. Of course she was never in danger however it was probably safer to avoid as much contact with the sun, if at all; who knows maybe down the line she'll come to thank herself for her actions. Though she did worry about being too pale, everyone says that vampires without the sun glimmering down on them look like literal ghosts. You could say this made her somewhat insecure, for once she felt something about herself other than grief. It was ironic since she used to be a treasured jewel, by at least one person. Glancing to her left she would hear Luminya's remark.

'Shouldn't the inytiation be inside the city? It wouldn't be that smyart to do it out here'

Hynes paused glancing away for a brief moment. Could this have indicated something, was it discomfort or a general statement. Either way it was clear that she took particular note of the isolation that they two were in but perhaps she had merely meant it as a curiosity, simply miss interpreted out of context due to Hyne's skepticism and actual knowledge. Whatever it might've meant, what was certain was

That she had acknowledged the oddity of the place that they were in. Then again, Hynes could just be overthinking, like she always does. Looking back over with her appetizing grin and stretched out smile Hynes remarked.

'No silly, if the initiation were to take place in the city could you imagine how easy it would be to disturb. There's probably a lot of people who are after that type of magic or technology that is used for the setup. So it's obvious that they would want it seemingly secluded away in the forest. You may not believe me but right now we're probably more safe then in the city. This entire area is considered a safe zone you see, it's all guarded and sealed off from the outside under invisible barriers. If we seemed like a threat then we would've already been confronted by mages and guild members. Euphoria told me that the chances of us being trailed right now are seven to one. Don't be alarmed however, they are just making observations of us, nothing more.

*Hynes and Luminya would have exited the New Sunlight guild headquarters hours ago, following a faint uncertainty of a noise that Hynes had picked up as justification to adventure out into the wilderness. Judging by how long it had been, it could be estimated that you were a good few miles away from the base; for that matter, a good few miles away from the concentrated populace as well. Contrary to what Hynes was thinking, the area around them was NOT a safe zone as it was completely on the outer edges of civilization. The only thing that marked society's existence in these plains was a worn down road leading on into the horizon, the path converging into the grass at some points due to how unkempt and unused it was. This wasn't even part of the initiation; as far as guild protocol went, a true initiation for New Sunlight as actively sparring against a couple of lifeless golems to prove your mettle - venturing out into the open fields to frolic around was not nearly close to how the guild introduced new members.*

*With that being said, it was logical to assume that no friendly mages and soldiers were tailing you. In fact, in these rolling hills and grasslands, it would be quite impossible for anyone to follow you without being detected. The scene was quite serene, actually; the duality of the city compared to the wild frontier of nature was a bit daunting at first glance, but it was entirely possible to appreciate the sights. The smell of dew on the grass, the whisper of the wind amongst an indigo sky, the chirping of the robins overhead, they were all the small strokes of a paintbrush composing nature's artwork. Maybe it was possible to just relax here without a worry; perhaps taking a nap and waking up in the afternoon could be to your liking?*

*Though, that speculation would be cut off by the sound of wooden wheels rumbling against the rough ground in the distance. Over a hill, about 100 meters away, there was a small wagon being pulled by two horses, the interior being shielded away from view by covers. It was getting closer and closer to your side, but from the looks of it, there was nothing to worry. At first glance it only seemed like a normal merchant's caravan... But then again, it was the only one you'd have seen in hours. Quite odd.*

Having not expected to have encountered anyone or anything Hynes was perked up by the appearance of a merchant's caravan. She could've sworn that there were no significant cities or towns that would interest anyone to travel this area. Most merchants knew to stay clear and avoid these plains because of the unnecessary danger. However in all things, there is always an exception. For instance her own intent to drag out the neko and feed on her. This oversight did raise her own suspicion due to the fact that the only people out here were here for a reason. As they closed the gaps to around 70 meters it was clear to Hynes that the outline was clearly a wagon being pulled by two horses. Perhaps it was a smugglers run, and she could pick up some easy grabbing along the way. With the soaring hot sky glistening on the gilded green grass the scene was indeed picturesque, something directly taken from an artisan's image or a poet's envisions with wordplay and songwriting. She very much did enjoy the quiet still scenes that played out when visiting town to town. It's the one opportunity she had to be at her lonesome and reminisce or contemplate about the past and the future. However all that was on her mind right now was a burning desire and a clenching bloodlust for the weary traveller she had invited to accompany her. Turning over to Luminya Hynes remarked.

' See that merchant. He's probably from the guild out to come and pick us up. I only wish he would've actually met us at the start but what can you do, besides it's not like we're getting initiated or anything we're just looking around. If you were feeling discomforted before then there's something for you to look at.

Having been accompanying Luminya for quite a stretch of time now she wondered if

She could take this opportunity to jump her. Stretching out her hands to pat down at her strap she pulled a sleeve which revealed a small bag with hidden contents. It was comparable to that of a teabag in appearance however piercing through the un-stitched sleeve revealed that it had been emptied. Hynes had let out a sigh in diss pleasure as it was supposed to contain her samples of poison. She must've either used it all up without knowing or perhaps it expired on it's own accord. Either way the poison itself was just a commodity, something she could use as leverage to keep Luminya in check after she had been enslaved. Feeding was always satisfactory however there was hardly any pleasure gained in it. With her boots kicking up rocks and dust beneath her she raised her hand once more, shielding her eyes and bringing it up to her forehead as she tried to scout out what she was eyeing in the distance. It was still very blurry and no proper specifications could be drawn out from this distance. Peering up towards the sun Hynes took a discontent sigh before sliding her helmet on top of her head, fixing it's position and ensuring that it rested properly on the rest of her chainmail which came up to her neck.
