Traveling Companions <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#40bf40">Â¤</span>​</div><br/>The road to the West was one filled with many beautiful sights and many lovely creatures. Three companions, starting off from the beginning of the road, and now, there were five. Brand sometimes wondered if he was just too observant of things, but if one wasnâ??t going to speak often, then they were going to observe their surroundings. The easiest to notice were those around him, such as Valen, their somewhat leader, or Lynnira. He had been with them for quite some time, but for Arioch or Everanâ?¦well, those two were new additions that they had not expected, but did not deny. The fight for justice had always been a long road, so he did not think it would harm if they had others to share the road with.<br/><br/>On such a vibrant day, strange for days that should be encased in darkness from being under the rule of the King of Darkness, they were heading down towards the small Elvin town, Cam. Of course, like most areas in the West, things were hidden with mazes and traps, all made by the Elves to protect themselves from unexpected dangers; something that was much needed in these times.

Sometimes, he was a bundle of energy, searching for a new way to bring justice and peace for all, so often times, like today, he was causing the entire group to lag behind; despite them walking at normal pace.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">â??I think weâ??re close~â?</span>he called out, turning around and smiling at the others. Of course, Arioch might have been better to lead them through the Elvin fields, as she was a pure Elf, and had lived in the Elvin world much longer than he had. This was also Valenâ??s territory, as the elder knight had guarded these areas in the days of peace.
