After Ayria left Ravus silently with a short nod - the nausea of the trip had dominated her until her foot found itself on dry land.<br/><br/>And dry was an understatement. The sand was bone dry. The contrast from an age at sea couldn't be more - and was yet again enough to almost trigger another release of her stomach's contents... but not quiet this time she managed to hold.  This was a land known for its fierce warriors, a proud land, a land ones word meant a souls yearning, something not be taken lightly ... well so she had read.

What can i do ? Without meaning to I think I have rubbed our king up the worse way I could even if i did try"<br/><br/>
