"Well that was... interesting." Piper looked around and was happy that she was not floating around anymore. She liked having her feet on the ground and so she stood up and tried to figure out where they were, "Oh, we're at the cross roads. Who knew the cave led all the way out here..." She spoke mainly to herself after she had seen the large stone that marked the three paths; one led to her home, another led to the more uncivilized lands, and the other led to a city. She knew a few cities and places along with a lot of the legends since she loved lore but she didn't know the maps and roads....<br/><br/>She knew how to defend herself with her dagger in a fair fight of course and she was tired of being forced into becoming someone she was not. She turned to look at Balthazar and offered him her hand, "So Bal what will you do now?" After she had helped him up she picked up the egg and felt its warmth, "Because personally I'm going on this adventure." She looked at him and smiled, "I can use a companion on this trip and since your not a slave anymore. I figured I'd ask if you came with me..." She looked down at the egg and wanted more then anything to go on an adventure such as this but she knew she could not do it alone.<br/><br/>In the back of her head she could hear the voice again telling her she needed him for this, "Hm, I've decided you have no choice." She smiled and took his hand dragging him back to the castle with her, "I need some supplies and you need better clothing." She looked back at him and wrinkled her nose, "And a bath." She would sneak back into her room and hide Balthazar there while she got yelled at by her father, "We will leave tonight."
