But someone had noticed, and that was the magical wolf that is attracted to Avianna's scent. It lifted it's snout and sniffed the air before dashing out of the room and followed Avianna. The creature wants Avianna to come back and with her scent very attached to her steps, the wolf immediately sniffed out where the young mage was hiding. Underneath the stars, she was a beauty to behold, and the wolf gave a small whimper as it approached her and nudge her hand that was resting on her lap.<br/><br/>"Little one, you sure love to follow me around, don't you?" she gave a small smile.<br/><br/>It was true if the wolf could speak it would declare it's loyalty to the lady. Alas, all it could do was lick her hand and nudge her leg, then pointing its snout back to the inside of the palace. Avianna shook her head, not wanting to go back inside yet, but the wolf whimpered again, nudging her leg.<br/><br/>"Oh you little, alright...I'll go Carius, but I swear if they try to watch me again..." Avianna just gave a heavy sigh and stood up from the bench and turned to return back to the banquet.<br/><br/><br/>Back inside, everyone was being loud, rowdy and it was obvious the noise of boisterous men without court manners overpowered the music the band was playing. She couldn't blame, since most of the ones who dared to find the weapon are thieves, bandits, mercenaries, farmers, and aspiring teenage men wanting glory. There are women too, muscular, and boisterous just like the men. Avianna returned to the group of Magus, who was reserved a table near the king.<br/><br/>"I have returned," she declared in a soft voice.<br/><br/>Immediately one of the old magus stood up and gave his seat to her, who was near the king and her mentor. A plate of cut meats, bread, a bowl of soup and a goblet of wine was laid out to her convenience and she ate with poise. Some rowdy mercenaries and bandits gave her a look, which is obvious to what their desire is. She could feel their stares, but she ignored them.<br/><br/>"Could she survive?" asked the king, and her mentor looked to the side, Avianna continued to eat slowly.<br/><br/>"Her time away from court and the front lines have given her ample time to...train more and learn more. She is young and she is my mentor. Avianna is more than capable." Answered Lord Javis, the head of the Circle of Magus.<br/><br/>"Is that so..." the king trailed the words. Obviously unconvinced.<br/><br/>But of course, the matter is not something many people would dare talk. Avianna has proven in more than one occasion that she is strong and powerful. Anyone who would dare to question or challenge her often ends up humiliated, mostly the nobles. But most of these people, they don’t know that.<br/><br/>“I am here to either aid, or find the weapon myself. The mission is simple as that. If I don’t find it, then I’m sure the people gathered here would. At least one of them,” she said the last part in a whisper, but she was confident.<br/><br/>It was the truth that she believes in after all. A magus role is to aid and defend, and she knows how to. The men gathered gave a lowly chuckle and the king simply frowned. But he knows better than to spite at the Head Magus or his apprentice.
