Donta lead the way behind the boy making sure to check back on her. Possibly just to reassure her that he was aware she even existed.It wasn't long before the boy was taking them around a large sparkling lake. Large sea fish dove , and weaved inside the water. Distant splashes echoing around them. However, what caught her attention was the city that the lake surrounded.The city was large , wide spread in the middle of the lake with crystals protruding out of it. She was so distractd tbat after a few minutes of looking at he sea, did she notice there was a village of better put togethr huts, and campfires with people. Where were they?<br/><br/><br/>"What do we do now? Go talk to them?" The moogle spoke to her expecting some form of answer. The boy stood there waiting for them to come to conclusive decision. If they followed the boy their was a likely chance people wouldn't shun them seeing as they were odd human looking beings. If they chatted would their words be recievied as friendly? A little girl with a purple flower pointed at Donta's glowing pom pom giggling but an adult tried to steer the child's vision away. Strangers were obviously not welcome..<br/><br/>" Looks like we are not welcome here, Boy are you a scout?" It was often in these small outcasted societies that there were placed men or boys meant to keep intruders out. However, if that was the case why drag them here? Faustina heaved a slight sigh.<br/><br/>" I am one of three guardiands of this village, now if you will I have to take you to our elder." The boy nodded now leading them past a few campfires, and towards a rather richly made hut. This hut seemed to be well taken care of , and placed in the center of the other huts. Bright torches adorned the outside of the hut, and a granite side walk lined the path leading towards the hut. Did this mean their elder was highly viewed?<br/><br/>The child pushed aside a blanket made of rabbitt fur aside, allowing the two of them to pass and enter into the hut. A giant fire was placed inside the center of the room, and a man sitting cross legged with a blue robe was facing them. He had pure white hair and two black feathers placed in his hair while smoking out of a pipe.<br/><br/>" A vierra , you are far from home my dear. " He turned his head to the tall moogle. " I never thought a moogle came in such a size, Calvin I assume they came by cave?" The boy nodded his head in agreement. A small moogle came bouncing up to Donta and looked excitedly at the man. " Muna don't get too attached strangers often mean ..trouble of some form."<br/><br/>The old man stood up with a troubled look on his face as if trouble was a every day problem. " Now, there are only three reasons people arrive through that cave; traders, soldiers, and castaways. I assume you are the latter of the three."  Muna the moogle began to have her purple pom pom glow as she got nearer to faustina. " Muna, I see you have spotted some injurries...Alright , big moogle explain to me how you began to travel with the vierra, the short version. Muna heal them both."<br/><br/>---------------.-------------<br/><br/>Surina's Pov<br/><br/>"I am Sain Darkfeather. And you?" The mutter was quite but Surina noticed the man dressed like a person trying to stand out but also trying to look intimidating. Sain...sounded as if he came from a southern land but the detail in the accent was hard to note. The cave was getting colder since there was barely any heat laying around the place.<br/><br/>" Name's Surina, no last , I'm a theif as its the only way orphans can make it in dolvisar." Her face felt stained, and dried of all the tears she had shed. A promise was made; She would revenge Anara without doubt. She felt her guardian begin to heal any wounds that may have occured to the heat. In other words, burn marks. The mark of the pheonix was glowing was the spirit angered at the minataur's decision?<br/><br/>"I am an accomplished Sage and could help you get back to town much more quickly than you can run. It would be safer as well. I can fly you home, or use magic?" Sain spoke the words assuring her that their mission may beseperate but essentially Anara's prophecy was a definate. They both needed to read. Anara what had she found out that had gotten her killed? There wss no way the future was set in stone was there?<br/><br/>"The quickest route possible to get there. Knowing Anara the prophecy was right under my nose." Her hands clenched into fists, one hand clutching the green jewel as if it was life or death rigth before her eyes. There was no way ...this was all gonna be for nothing. She turned to look at Sain. " I just want out of this cave before I start crying."
