Rei had made haste from the inn in which she had taken shelter for the evening. However then had come word that the thieves which had been tracking had possibly been spotted by the priest at the church up the road. Having come from the mountain villages Rei had never believed in the religion of the valley, she had been raised to revere the spirits themselves. That however was pretty much a lifetime ago for her. As she ushered herself on the down the road her faithful ravens flew above keeping their watch. It would not be their warning that would make Rei rein her horse to a stop.<br/><br/>As she moved down the road she suddenly the crystal pendent around her neck glow and pulse, something it had never done before. Just as she slowed the horse to see did she here a declaration from up there road. It was a voice, a voice with all the authority of Knight of the realm. Her suspicions were proven when she rounded the bend and saw the woman clad in plate armor and carrying a large maul, with inscriptions of he former kingdom. At ay other time Rei would have turned and run from such an opponent. After all the knight before her was her antithesis. Now though as she beheld the knight she felt the warm of the fire from the crystal beneath her armor.<br/><br/>Rei took the measure of the woman in front of her, she could feel the power the knight held. She watched the lightning course along her weapon was more than enough to tell her the Knight had been blessed by the spirits. So she decided to answer her call. "Lower your weapon Knight of the Realm! I bring you no harm!" she called back as she gently dismounted her horse and turned to face her. As she did so both Phobos and Demos landed on her shoulders. "I am Rei Ignacia, The Raven of Cherrywood Forest. she said as she pulled the hood on her grey cloak revealing locks of hair as black as the feathers of her companions belling her claims. Her deep amethyst eyes bellied the inner fire that could be seen within them.
