[clor=goldenrod]"Hmm?"[/color]<br/><br/>Atisha looked over at the alftar speaking to her, Larteis.<span style="color: goldenrod">"I'm just keeping watch, is all. Have to make sure that someone is keeping watch for bandits and the like."</span>Atisha said simply as the group headed out of the city.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Leaving the city, the group so far had found no trouble. Only the sound of the wheels, the horses, and Sheo was heard all around, at least to Atisha. Once the city was well out of sight and her legs started to stiffen, she had switched spots with Sheo and was now resting in the wagon. She plucked at her lute, refusing to play a song at her mother's request as Sheo needed to focus her senses on watching out for highwaymen. Atisha also began to chronicle the past events of the last few days into her journal, updating her agenda and organizing her schedule.<br/><br/>It wasn't long before Sheo smelled blood. A mix of scents actually, but definitely Teryn. Someone was hurt, or killed, near by. Soon enough Magnus lead the carriage off near the edge of the road. Sheo had to hop on before it left her behind, and once the carriage stopped Sheo and Atisha stepped off the back to see what had transpired.<br/><br/><span style="color: goldenrod">"Anora? Where have you been!?"</span>Atisha had not seen Anora since they were confronted by the assassins at the makeshift hide out. She had figured that after the destruction of Magnus' home they went to pursue the rest of the assassins, but Atisha had not expected to see Anora out here. She seemed injured as Magnus had to employ his magic, which from what Atisha learned from his parents, were Light Miracles. Seeing Anora might still be injured Atisha uncorked her waterskin to ready her own restorative magic, but soon Magnus and Anora went off into the woods. Atisha was about to give chase when Sheo put her hand on the alftar's shoulder.<span style="color: lightgreen">"You heard him, they'll be right back. Help me keep an eye out for the carriage and get ready to use some healing magic when they come back."</span><br/><br/>Atisha begrudgingly did as told, standing watch with Sheo to ensure that there wasn't any more bandits coming. Soon enough Magnus, Anora, and another that Atisha faintly remembered as Ardur arrived from the forest with an man slumped over Magnus' shoulder. Atisha ran out to meet them with a spell ready in her hand.<span style="color: goldenrod">"How many of you are injured? I can use my magic to treat your wounds if you have any."</span>Sheo soon followed after, uncorking her flask as the scent of grog wafted through the air.<span style="color: lightgreen">"Let's get them back at the wagon first Atisha. Here big guy, something to dull the pain."</span>Sheo said jokingly as she handed Ardur her flask of grog. Atisha didn't seen the humor in it and instead noticed Ardur's injury, and began preparing another Nature Spell to use heal his wound.
