<strong>Day 1 -  Noon</strong><br/><br/>with enough strength that she landed on to the back of the horse. The saddle seems large enough for two, so Emily won't need to worry about uncomfortably sitting on the horse's bare back without anything to cover underneath her. They made their way back onto the dirt road where the two of them had encountered the slave traders, however, instead of going towards the direction of where the slave traders had come from, Aria instead pulled the reins of her horse towards the opposite direction.<br/><br/><strong>"Don't thank me yet, things could get rougher from now on, considering you have nowhere to stay, no job to support yourself"</strong>, Aria interjects when Emily thanked her for saving her from the slave traders and even going as far as to arrange for her to stay at Riverrun even if it's temporary. From behind Aria, Emily would be able to point out the built muscle of her savior and the various minor scars across her back. Her oily tan skin is almost synanomous with the looks of gladiators in ancient time back on Emily's homeworld, one had to wonder what would be the point of wearing such a revealing outfit as a protection in battle.<br/><br/><strong>"My friend, Agarth was an adventurer, much like I am now during his prime years"</strong>, Aria replied to Emily's question regarding her friend in Riverrun while chuckling as if it was amusing to be reminded by that little fact.<strong>"Nowadays, he spent most of his time in the Adventurer's Guild as the guildmaster, training young adventurers and even regulating and managing contracts for hiring, who knows, you might even become an adventurer yourself one day"</strong>. There was a hint og joke in Aria's tone of voice when she pointed the last statement out but her stoic expression made it difficult to guess if she's joking or being serious.<br/><br/>Soon, the scenery turns from lush forests and mountainside to that of vast farmland that stretches out for miles wide, and the hillside gives way to larger plains of grass field, in the distant they could both spot a large river cutting through the vast farmlands and plains. Once in a while, a small wooden shack enter their view and there, a few people could be seen sitting around and resting from the bright sun ahead. The way that some of them wield their hoes and sickles suggests that they might be farmers.<br/><br/><strong>"So tell me about where you came from?"</strong>, Aria suddenly asks as she briefly and shortly look over her shoulder towards Emily. Now that they seemed to have arrived closer to civilization, the horse seems to have slowed down, allowing them both to converse comfortably at least.<strong>"I'd wager from your confused look, that it's a very different place than Eshalon?"</strong>
