Rein was swinging a large sword that most men needed two hands to use. His back was towards the woman who had appeared laying in the courtyard. The prince was in training with him. He swung the sword. Block. Parry. Swing. Repeat. He said not a word but then again he was never a man of many words. Xavier was swinging his unique rapier looking blade. Slash. Parry. Block. Twist. Knock away. Strike. Parry. Strike. Repeat. He continued as the men moved each other back and forth with their attacks and blocks. This continued on for quite a long time until they both shealthed their weapons and stood with big grins on their faces. Xavier chuckled. "You are the only man I know in this entire kingdom who can wield a two handed weapon with but a single hand. Well played old friend. Well played."<br/><br/>His gaze lifted and he blinked. When had that young woman appeared. He found himself studying her. She was beautiful. Very beautiful. Over the months he had seen many different men and women from different times in the future. Time moved strangely here compared to the present time of whenever the journal appeared. What was months for them could actually be found to be years on the other side of the portal. They were the same world. The same time zone. Just...the past and the present...were not connected where time was a year for a year. He felt her gaze on them and lifted his to hers. She had a beautiful face.<br/><br/>Though he soon heard the approaches of the guards who were on horseback. He saw she was in the path of the men and the horses marching towards the castle. He ran without a second thought towards his own safety. His arms wrapped around her as he hurled them both out of the path of danger. Twisting at the last second so when they impacted on the ground a few feet from the left edge of the bridge she was on top and he was the one whose back impacted upon the ground. Looking up at her he noticed her hair was a color he had never seen before. There was not a person with her hair color in the entire kingdom. Her eyes reminded him of amber and honey. They were beautiful. He quickly realized he had yet to let her go.  He respectfully moved his hands from her body.<br/><br/>"Hello. You aren't from around here are you?" His old world accent sexy yet he could still be easily understood. He reached a hand to touch her hair. "Never seen hair the color of fire before...it is quite beautiful." He lowered his hand. "It suits you well milady." he smiled warmly at her. "You aren't from this time are you? You have the look of someone lost not of someone who knows their surroundings well." He stood and helped her to her feet. Standing back from her and bowed. "I am Prince Xavier. It is a pleasure to meet you. Miss...?" He said. Standing up straight and looking at her quizzically. He saw Rein come over to him and look at him like he had lost his mind. "This is my best friend Rein." Rein merely nodded his head to her but didn't say anything.<br/><br/>Xavier looked at the woman. "Are you hungry? I can only assume that like the others who have arrived here over the past few months you found my journal. I could be wrong and if so I apologize for the assumption." He had felt a strange zap type feeling when he touched her. Magic...reacting with magic. Only answer. Yet...it wasn't very strong so perhaps she did not know it was there. Or had no idea of her potential for using magic. The more he studied her...the more curious about her he became.
