<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-style: italic">"I'll go with you."</span> Blake's eyes widened at her offer to help him out. Although he didn't really need the help, he was mostly taken by surprised that she would even offer. What does he have to lose from this... Nothing. "Now I can't make you change your mind. Come." He flashed her a smile before he headed back to the village gates, his golems following after them. "If it's the Black Blades, the most I will see are many cuts... Maybe some poisoned..." He muttered.<br/><br/>With slow steps to not seem in a hurry, Blake headed for the red tents, heading into the one on his right. <br/>"You must be the mystic, right?" Standing up to address Blake, a man whose clothes were regal in appearance. He ran up to poor Blake, falling on his face before bowing at least seven times... All of this groveling and worship, he could not really tolerate it one bit. Especially with his wraps coming loose, his wounds open to the air... His blood flowing freely. True, not everyone has a gift for magic. Agreed. However, there are several who devotes their lives to its practice with every generation... For this man to be groveling, it took the smile from his face instantly. <br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Oh Your Grace! Those monsters attacked us in the middle of the night... Nearly tried to kill me, they did."</span><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"They were out to kill us all, you dumbass!"</span> Screamed a woman, resting on the ground. <br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Quite, you wench. You weren't help after that managed to strike you in the stomach before it finally died. Dumb bitch, trying to play strong." </span><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Your Grace, please... I'll pay you as much as you wi-"</span> Before the man could speak another word, the woman soldier turned to Blake, her dark brown eyes, leering at him.<br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Hey, Mage-" </span><br/><span style="color: #4040FF">"Please... I am known as Blake."</span> He finally interrupted before the woman spoke again.<br/>"Well... You mages aren't really slouches anymore, are ya?" She teased, giving Blake a wink in front of Nyoko. Was she his girlfriend. The soldier was curious to find out. If so, she might have to back off. If not, Blake might have trouble than he initially bargained for.</span>
