<div style="text-align: center">Questor:​</div><br/><br/>Dante had awoke some hours after they had left the camp site., a bit sore but refreshed. They would be stopping at another of the Way Stations along the route to the Farm for the night but he had the driver stop the carriage. He got out and streached and walked around a bit. Midnight and Nyx jumped out of their wagon and did the same they approached him and the carriage, Nyx jumping up so her front paws were on the floor of the carriage and looking at Laylah. Dante chuckled. "You want her up to eh." She backed off to allow Dante to climb back up into the carriage. He gently shook Laylah and said, "We are taking a short rest stop, time to streach your legs and stuff." he told her. He backed up and walked out a bit from the carriage. He looked down at Midnight who had followed him. Petting his head Dante spoke to the panther. "I have a little sister Midnight. It seems Demons and Angels can come together and have children." he grinned. "I have a real family now." That realization filled him with a warmth that he had never felt before. It was something that had been lacking in his life. Yes he had his father, but it was not the same. His mother had died at child birth. It had been an arranged marriage and she was not the strongest of female Demons. He had grown up, the only child and really had no others to play with as a child. He imagined that his father would not make that mistake with Gabby. It had been a lonely life and he grew up to fast in a manner of speaking.<br/><br/>He looked back to the carriage. Laylah he found out had siblings. She was lucky for that. They were all safe now in the underground city. Then he thought of the family at the mine. Oh how Gabby would love Milah. The two would, he know become friends. It brought a smile to his lips. Laylah had questions and now would be the time to ask them. Since she was going to be with him, she could help him in his endevors as well as piss off the Council of Demons. If they were that pissed off, they would make mistakes and Dante would take advantage of those mistakes. Oh how they were going to react when he brought her with him to the Council Chamber as she was now.<br/><br/>"My Lord" one of the servants came up to him. "There be people coming across the field there." he pointed. "They look to be carrying their possessions. I seen this during the war, sir. Refugees. Something has happened."<br/><br/>Dante turned and looked. There were a good deal of lower demons moving towards them. Indeed it looked as if they were fleeing something. When they reached them, they stopped and Dante inquired. "Raiders my Lord. Human and demons working together. They are well armed and they attacked our village. We were able to flee with what we could carry. They seemed interested in in our food stock and village."<br/><br/>"Who is your Lord." Dante asked.<br/><br/>"Lord Valkar." the man answered.<br/><br/>"He has no protection at your village, no men at arms?" Dante Asked.<br/><br/>"No Lord. He does not feel that it is necessary. We are farmers, not warriors. We have no weapons to defend ourselves or able to use them properly." The man told Dante.<br/><br/>"How many?" Dante asked.<br/><br/>"I counted twenty. Heavily armed." the man told him.
