Days, two days, boy this guy was either really lazy or would be the easiest she had come against in a while, the king had obviously descended deeper into madness if he thought the approaching Man could take her heart.  She made her way back towards the road half her armor removed the light sandy tunic she worse underneath clung to still damp skin as she looked down along the path, she felt dark magic... not the king this was fresh different, the corrupted not the corrupt...  that posed a challenge.  She moved Securing the brace to her arm flexing her fingers and moving to secure the next part as the man appeared around the bend,  dark tainted magic rippled in the air a thick sludge that made her want to retch instead she offered a smile.<br/><br/>"Hail, Greetings Friends." she called lifting a hand in casual welcome before continuing to secure her armor "These are the western mountains,  If you climbing here you are after the bounty set by the king?" she asked tying her boots "He gave no word that a woman couldn't Win the prize, I've set out to prove a woman can earn it, what of you?" she asked interestedly Not being subtle simply because that's how she wanted to be perceived, a slightly thick headed woman,  it'd be better if he saw her as just a woman playing knight,  He wouldn't take her seriously making her work all the easier.<br/><br/>Her hope was he'd view her as a silly Female tag along, Knowing now he was bearing corrupted magic her duty had increased,  her purpose was to protect the valley,  But also the purify those that came to it,  This mans magic must be purified,  how to do that... with out.  She Fought the urge to growl in frustration.  Why couldn't he be a knight one two bites problem solved, no he had to have magic it had to be corrupt... some higher power was laughing at her, of this, she was sure.
