				&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The room fell quiet as they entered the hulking figure of Olaf the Guardian instructor followed by the slim figure of Elena the Magus instructor. Quite how the pair, the 6 feet 4 inch muscle mass of Olaf and the dainty in comparison Eleven Elena had ever worked as a team who knows. But they had and made legends of themselves before retiring to instruct in the Citadel of Darkfall.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The pair regarded the assembled teams, "You have finished your training and bonded to each other, now it is time for you to begin to serve the Order." Elena's voice was quiet but commanding as she looked over the room. "Normally we would be issuing the assignments to the teams we select. However my better half." That earned her a snort from the said better half, "Thinks that you should be able to choose your assignment as you know your own skills and talents. So I am posting three on the main notice board, review them and then come to my room when you have chosen for the final details."<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She nodded and left leaving Olaf standing like a rock, "Guardians remember your Magus may die but the enemy better be stepping over your dead body to do it." His eyes where cold and flat as he swept over the assembled teams.&nbsp; Then without another word he turned and followed his companion. Her voice floated back as they walked away, "Do you have to be so dramatic?"<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nailed to the notice board as she had said where three sheets of paper.<br><br>Assignment. <br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A team is required to provide escort to one of our collectors.<br>http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=142244.0 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=142244.0)<br><br>Assignment.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; A team is required to&nbsp; recover a stolen item from the person who stole it.<br>http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=142245.0 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=142245.0)<br><br>Assignment.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;A team is required to investigate an ancient site that has recently come to light.<br>http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=142243.0 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=142243.0)<br>

				Jade Stormgeist sat perfectly still while the instructor's gave their lecture. She was the picture of rigid discipline, her hands neatly folded in her lap, her jaw set and obviously giving them her full attention. It was a small miracle that she and Calerin had managed to bond, given his chaotic nature and her obsession with honor and discipline, but she had found many little things to like about him, not to mention that she found him to be quite attractive, so that certainly didn't hurt. She hoped that in time, maybe some of her sense of order would rub off on him, but she wasn't going to force him to change or anything.<br><br>When the instructors left them the teams to their own devices, Jade seemed to relax a little, but relaxed for her was still a bit stern to most people. She leaned her head back and gazed over at her blonde half elf partner, "We should go check out the assignments. I'd like to get going straight away unless you have any other business you would like to take care of first? We should have a look, either way."<br><br>She strode up to the notice board with all the others, waiting for Calerin to join her before looking them all over. She turned to her partner, "Would you like to check out the ancient site? Sounds like it could be interesting, and a good test of our ability to work together to handle unknown situations."

				Calerin paid attention as best he could to the instructors, but as per usual, he spaced out for at least half of their lecture. It wasn't fully his fault; his mind always wondered what arcane formulas or creations would be broken or spring from his fingertips next, and beyond that, what his next job would be. He liked studying at the Order's academy, and was even more pleased with the Guardian that had been bonded to him. She was a tall, pretty human, with serious ways and an organized approach; most would think that someone as unchecked and free-spirited as himself would be instantly against her, but he found that her sense of discipline steadied him, like an anchor in rough water. As the instructors finished their speech and Jade went to check the notice boards, he rose slowly and stretched, in no particular hurry. He approached Jade from behind and tapped her on the shoulder, leaning in close, so that when she turned, her lips would brush his cheek.<br><br>"Ruins, huh? Sounds exciting to me."

				Jade felt him close behind her, but she hadn't realized how close until she turned around and inadvertently planted a soft kiss on his cheek. "Calerin! Did you do that on purpose?!?" She glared at him, of course he had, but something about him, his boyish charm and free spirit, she just could never stay upset at him for very long, no matter what the infraction. She just sighed and her harsh expression melted into a soft smile, "You don't have to answer that, on the grounds that it might incriminate you. Now lets try to focus here, alright?"<br><br>She glanced around the room, wondering if anyone else's partner was as much of a handful as Calerin could be. But she wouldn't have traded him for anyone, and she really wanted to see what he was capable of. Hell, she wanted to see what she herself was capable of, and what they could do together. "Alright... off to go see Elena and get our assignment?"

				&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Elena’s room was cozy in her words, a right mess in Olaf’s, the walls covered with shelves groaning under the weight of books. A theme that was carried out over the room, a desk covered in opened books, scrolls and items acquired over the years. There was however room for two chairs in which the pair was ensconced.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A slender flute of wine in Elena’s hand which she sipped at as she watched her companion. As befitted him there was a tankard in his hand but he was making no effort to drink but rather was watching the flames dance in the fireplace. “You will tell me in due course I suppose.” <br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Olaf raised his head at her comment, “Tell you?” Elena smiled in a sad way, “You have something to tell me that you know I will not like and are thinking how to say it as nice as you can.” Olaf sighed, “Aye, you sure your a witch as well as a Magus? You seem to know my very thoughts.”<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Elena regarded him fondly, for all his strengths and a skill keeping what he was thinking off his face was not one of them. “So?” Then Olaf took a large drink before saying. “The courier waited three days, Karin and Weaver did not show.” His eyes searched her face, as he spoke, quite how Weaver that cheeky little Gnome had made Elena into a close friend Olaf really had no idea. He was way to liberal in what he said to women and irrelevant in so many ways.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;“You think they are dead?” Her voice was soft and low, and there was little for Olaf to do but nod. “If it had been Weaver I would say he was in an alehouse or more likely a brothel but Karin. No she would never be late she is a Guardian who understands duty.”&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;“So some one is killing us, picking us off as we venture outside our Citadels.” Her face was impassive but Olaf knew she was mourning her friend inside as she continued. “And we have so many of our experienced teams tied up at Waterfall Citadel. Which is why we have no choice but to use our new graduates.” Then she looked sharply at Olaf. “Do you think they are up to it?”<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Olaf considered for a moment, “They are trained but we need more than knowing how to toss a spell or swing a sword. If we are to send them against this unknown enemy we need people who can think on their feet and understand going in swinging is not always the answer. The missions need doing and whilst normally we would send them with an experienced team they should be up to it.” <br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He stopped talking at a knock on the door, “Seems like one team at least has chosen. COME IN.”&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>

				Sethi (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=408765)<br>Sethi saunters along behind Chloe as they enter the halls, her gray eyes darting a bit at the familiar echo of footfalls on stone, but she manages to quell the tinges of panic and remind herself that she was free.&nbsp; Free <em>conditionally</em>, of course, but free nonetheless.<br>Freedom has its price, but aside from the occasional desperation to hear a human voice, she'd readjusted to the 'outside' very quicky.&nbsp; But she still couldn't understand how she'd made it from a stone cell, a piss-pot, a straw mattress and a single barred window to these halls-- in Silver Rose, she was an utter misfit, and couldn't understand who had chosen a societal delinquent like herself, stuck a sword in her hand, and placed her in the intimate company of a Silver Rose to protect her on dangerous missions.<br>Lucky for her, though... the glass-making lady she was paired with was... well... a lady.&nbsp; A lovely one at that.&nbsp; More svelt and frail than Sethi, but elegant in her manners and speech, like one of those glass things she adored so...<br>Sethi's hand rested at the hilt of her rapier as she shadowed her partner through the corridor, and she scanned the papers on the board over Chloe's shoulder.&nbsp; She strains at the dark-haired woman, screwing up her eyes in confusion.&nbsp; "I... guess so?"&nbsp; She frowns and shifts her hip.&nbsp; "I nevah had to <i>guard</i> someone before, ya know?&nbsp; I ah," she shrugs, clears her throat, "have a bit more experience with the, ah, <i>recovery</i> type job.&nbsp; But more opportunistic, confidentially speaking... catch my drift?"<br>

				Beldak listened intently two the orders two mentors as they gave their speech.&nbsp; He respected both of the mentors, as he had spent a considerable amount of time training under both of them.&nbsp; Elena had trained him in the divine arts, while Olaf trained him in the arts of battle.&nbsp; He took a moment to contemplate his new partner who was not sitting to far from him as the lecture continued.&nbsp; He had been paired up with the mysterious lizard man known as Hextehe, someone he knew very little about, but one look at him and you knew that he would be a guardian that you don't want to mess with.&nbsp; With their combined strength he felt there would be little that they couldn't accomplish, nor did he seem like someone who would worry about Beldak's love for retribution.<br><br>After their mentors had finished briefing them, they were told that there were jobs up on the board, and they were to pick one, and then speak with them.&nbsp; So Beldak stood up and stretched, and moved over towards the job board, assuming that Hextehe would follow when he was ready.&nbsp; When he reached the board he saw on of the jobs and been quickly snatched up, and the all female team were still looking over what remained.&nbsp; He looked over the jobs and one seemed to stand out,&nbsp; he turned back to the lizard man and called "hey, how would you feel about recovering some stolen property, from some scum bag.&nbsp; Sounds like a good way to let of some steam."

				Hearing the rouge beauty talk lifted the sorceress with rare happiness. So many silent hours, it was obvious to Chloe that Sethi was emotionally scared<br>from whatever happened to her. Something she was pretty tight lipped over. Happy just to be free of justice for her reacting as she did?<br><br>Such a shame. She was so beautiful. The idea of her giving up on hope that life and other people can really be wonderful, not just judgmental, not just callous,<br>not just opportunities where they will rethink their position and throw her back in ... was a horrid place.If Chloe's assumptions of what she was feeling were correct, helping with unlearning that was something Chloe wanted to at least try.<br><br>"I feel I may but only in parts my wonderful friend. Always there has to be a first time, and I want to see you rich and famous and have others throw flowers at your feet. That happens when you help others. So helping others it is !"<br><br>The sorceress then moved to the trainers pointing out the escort job.<br><br>"I feel we have our calling, to this we desire to be of the rescue of"<br>

				Hextehe blinked his eyes as the sun came though his room window and muttered under his breath. Tossing off his covers he got up and stretched himself out. Today was just another day but now he would get a new partner to work with. Some cleric of St Cuthbert with a chip on his shoulder. At first glance he was glad he didn't talk to much. Showed more character with actions then words. He at leasted believe in that. <br><br>Picking himself out of bed he donned his armor and his gear. Strapped his shield to his back and grabbed his spear then marched out to meet everyone. Standing at roughly 7ft he had to look down at most of his fellow members of the Order and gave small nods of acknowledgement to anyone that noticed him.&nbsp; <br><br>When he reached his group you noticed most of them were females and inwardly sighed. <strong>"Hope none of them come back to hurt."</strong> he muttered as someone called to him. Looking over he saw the cleric holding one of the jobs he was going to be doing with him. <strong>"I think that would be a great way to let off sssome sssteam thisss morning. But firssst I need a meal then we can head out and ssshow thisss perssson the error of their waysss."</strong> <br><br>He walked over to the job board and looked at the paper and quickly read the task that needed to be done and then back to the cleric. <strong>"When would you like to head out? It ssshouldn't take usss very long to do. Ssst Cuthbert willing of coursse." </strong>

				Beldak was astounded by the hight of his new partner, he had never really been this close to him and had to look up a good deal to look him in the eye.&nbsp; He returned the lizard man's solid stair, he stood up tall trying to make himself look as formidable as possible.&nbsp; This was difficult as his partner had already donned his armour and weapons, which made him look even more dangerous, while Beldak was only wearing his everyday tunic.&nbsp; Hextehe seemed like the kind of person he did not want to be on the wrong side of, so he was glad to be paired with him.<br><br>At the mention of breakfast he felt a rumble in his stomach, he had come here without eating this morning, instead opting to use his time to prepare his spells.&nbsp; "I could use something to eat before we head out" for a moment he found himself wondering how much his partner could actually put away in one meal.&nbsp; Beldak turned away from the job board "why don't we talk to Elena and Olaf, and get it details of our mission, then head down to the dinning hall and get something to eat, before we head out."<br><br>Before he left he turned to the last team left at the board and said "Ladies, good luck with your quest.&nbsp; May St. Cuthbert watch over you."&nbsp; He then turned and headed out of the hall.

				Olaf grunted as he saw Chloe and Sethi enter the room but remained silent. Elena smiled looking at the pair of them especially Sethi “So you have chosen to be an escort, interesting.” Somehow she suspected that was Chloe’s idea, Sethi in her opinion would have rather gone for one of the more active ones.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Elena gave Olaf a questioning glance but he remained stony faced as if in disapproval at Sethi being selected as a guardian. A position of many of the guardian trainers but then why had he pushed for her to be appointed one. And pushed quite vigorously despite the many objections.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Then Olaf spoke. “Elena would now give you a pretty speech but I believe in more practical things. Greenport is a sewer, full of thieves and murderers where you can buy anything or so they say. Which is of course why we have agents there. Remember the only person you can trust is the one standing by you. And you.”<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He turned his attention fully to Sethi, “Many here would have washed you out of the training to be a guardian, seeing nothing in you. But I am not one of them. So now you have the chance to prove me right and them wrong, don’t waste it.” Then as if in dismissal he returned to gazing at the fire.&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A soft laugh came from Elena, “Diplomatic as ever my Olaf, but we wish you well. The stables will provide you with horses, rations and directions.”<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; [ Chloe and Sethi to thread, http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=142244.0 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=142244.0)&nbsp; when you are ready.]<br><br>

				In the antechamber, the young woman seems to shrink when Chloe focuses on her, but she manages a shy smile at the compliments.&nbsp; From the little twitches at her mouth, clearly she wants to say something, but as usual she stays silent.&nbsp; Instead, she speaks with movements-- she seems to have a talent for expressing herself with her expressions, her posture-- from the subtle gestures of her face, the shifts in her posture, the placement of her steps and the speed of her turns, Chloe can feel a closeness in Sethi... as if she is straining to close the distance.<br><br>Her stride becomes more of a saunter, and she tips her head politely-- her smile almost flirtatious in its demure subtlety-- at Beldak and Hextehe.&nbsp; The gesture becomes more awkward, and she blushes slightly and hurries through the door behind Chloe.<br>*<br>The rogue's fingers toy nervously at the hilt of her rapier as she and her partner face their superiors.&nbsp; &nbsp;She listens at Chloe's conversation with Elena and Olaf, then blushes brightly at Olaf's expressions.&nbsp; She is glad that only Chloe's there to hear it.&nbsp; Somehow, she seems skeptical at the idea she'd be capable of some impressive deed, but clearly she is willing to risk it somehow.&nbsp; "Yessir," she mutters, making eye contact momentarily before returning her gaze to the floor.<br><br>"Thank you," she adds after Elena's closing statement, her gray eyes fixing them each for a moment before the pair, with her set by Chloe's side, head for the door and out into the courtyard.

				Heading from the job board to the mess hall Hextehe quickly found a large plate and filled it up witha number of meat based foods on top of a large pile of vegetables before heading towards a table. Upon sitting down he started to devour it without much reguards for manners. His mind went a little blank while eating knowing only a few simple things while he ate. The taste of what he was eating and how much more he could consume before needing to leave. <br><br>Not really glancing at his to be companion he took a large drink of his ale before clearing his throat of food. <strong>"Ok. So do you need to do anything before we head out? Food? Pray? Gear up?"</strong>

				When he entered the dinning hall Beldak grabbed a simple plate of food and sat down across from the lizard man who had brought over pile of food.&nbsp; He began to eat slowly as he watched Hextehe devour everything in front of him with an almost animal hunger.&nbsp; He had a feeling that this was one area his new partner would be unrivalled in.&nbsp; The amount of food he put away seemed almost ungodly.<br><br>He had finished the food on his plate and was satisfied while Hextehe continued to tear into his mound of food.&nbsp; "I think im full for now, why don't you fill up, while i go and get all my gear, and ill meet you by the stables whenever you are full."&nbsp; He stood up and regarded his partner for another moment, if those teeth could do that to a roast goose, then what would they do to anyone who stood in his way.

				Hexetehe gave a very small smirk at the look on his partners face. To see something like him, civilized, and eating must of been a little bit of a shock. He hoped he didn't forget that he was an animal and hunted back in his homelands for what locals called a monster. Thankfully civilization gave him the chance to do what he was doing now. It amazed him that he had not become a fat blob with everything given to him on a silver platter. Pushing away his food he bleached and stood up. Brushing off what food could of fallen upon his armor and gear. Perhaps he should of waited to gear up this time...no a mission was a mission and one needed to be ready to go at a moments notice. He'd get a stablehand to clean him before he went out into town. That would be better then him doing it himself. <br><br>Heading off towards the stable he quickly selected the larger warhorse as his mount. It at least didn't have any trouble carrying him or his gear. But he knew he was a slight burden to the creature none the less. Turning towards a stable hand he pointed at a nearby bucket. <strong>"Clean water. Rag,"</strong> he pointed at himself in his armor. <strong>"Clean."</strong> he flipped a gold coin at the stablehand in advance. <strong>"Quickly."</strong> Even before the coin hit the stable ground the stable hand was in motion to do as he asked. Hextehe was at least kind enough to grab at the horse the stablehand had released in his haste to do his job. Within a few minutes he was covered in water and being rubbed down. Yes he would definitely think about not putting on his armor again until things were assested next mission. <br><br>After a good while he pushed the stablehand away. <strong>"I'm clean. Go back to your dutiesss."</strong> he said while heading towards the stable door and letting the sun do away with the rest of the water upon him. He made a small gesture towards the sunlight and smiled letting its rays warm him up. It always felt amazing no matter the day. He let himself relax and waited for his companion.&nbsp; <br><br>

				Beldak left the dinning hall and went back to his room where he had his armour layed out.&nbsp; He began to donn his armour,&nbsp; pulling on all the chain and leathers that go on under his armour.&nbsp; As he straped on the chest plate and grieves, he began to think of ways they might go about completing their task, but it was difficult with what little information he had.&nbsp; <br><br>He strapped on his gauntlets and figured they would figure something out between the two of them, nither of them seem to have any moral quams about using force to finish the task.&nbsp; He slipped his knife into his belt and hung his mace from his belt strap.&nbsp; As he gatherd his pack of goods, and his shield, he took a last look at his room and headed for the stables.<br><br>When he got there, he saw Hextehe standing in the sun enjoying it.&nbsp; "you ready to go or do you need to tan a bit more?" He joked.

				If Hextehe had eyebrows he would of lifted one towards his companion at his comment but instead of doing so walked over to his horse and mounted it. "No I am done. Let usss get moving. I'm sssure you are finally done donning your gear. Now just ready your horssse I will wait, again."&nbsp; Hextehe didn't really enjoy to much conversation. Mainly due to the fact of learning the words that needed to be said. Joking was still a bit new to him. So he wouldn't try to hard to match his companions jests to soon. Else he make himself seem the fool. Shivering at past memories he just recalled when learning the native common tongue. He hadn't ment to inform the guards that they were like yapping dogs with pointed sticks.&nbsp; They just were. Some of them at least. (I guess we move onto that new thread now. You can post first in it. )

				&nbsp;<span style="font-family: verdana;" class="bbc_font"><em><span style="font-size: 1em;" class="bbc_size">K’risti’s senses were in overdrive as she studied the two citadel guardians approach; her nose twitched, making her whiskers whip about her face, her tail lashed about, beating itself softly against her legs, even Crysalis hissed his concern in her ear. She stiffened to attention, more from dread than respect, for something was afoot, she could feel it in her body, and taste it with every intake of breath. She stood and listened to the summons, then dutiful fell in behind her escort, but she sneaked a look over her shoulder at her partner’s back as he was ushered off in the opposite direction. The rigidity of his gait told her that he too was apprehensive of this sudden change, but duty to the Order compelled them both to follow where they were led, to do as they were instructed. K’risti padded softly down the hall in step with her escort, her soft feet a mere whisper on the stone floor, but her mind was far from silent in its thoughts about this sudden summons and the meaning behind the formality. </span></em></span><br><span style="font-family: verdana;" class="bbc_font"><em><span style="font-size: 1em;" class="bbc_size"> </span></em></span><br><span style="font-family: verdana;" class="bbc_font"><em><span style="font-size: 1em;" class="bbc_size">She stiffly walked to the offered seat and sat down as if it were made of nails, causing her bottom to shift about uneasy. Elena’s smile eased her fears in a way of a mother soothing her child would, and K’risti relaxed her shoulders and sat back more comfortably in the padded chair. The smell of the tea’s herbal scent engaged her mind and she listened to her mentor with rapt attention. A change in her pairing was not unheard of, but was rare none-the-less and her uneasy concerns tried to resurface themselves in her thoughts. She squashed them back down by taking the proffered cup and inhaling its aroma deeply as she contemplated her response. It would do no good to ask about the sudden change, if she were to have known the issues at hand, Elana would have informed her of them. Duty only left one proper and expected response from those who served the Order. </span></em></span><br><span style="font-family: verdana;" class="bbc_font"><em><span style="font-size: 1em;" class="bbc_size"> </span></em></span><br><span style="font-family: verdana;" class="bbc_font"><em><span style="font-size: 1em;" class="bbc_size">“I trust the Order, and I trust you Elana. If this is what is required of me, then I have no objections and will fulfill my duties as you instruct”, she said with soft eyes, and a relaxed tone. Changing to a new Guardian was no small matter in and of itself, and Elena had made no mention to a person she had previously met. The bonding would have to be done enroute it would seem, during possible conflict, and with another pair in observance, she shuddered at the violation of personal privacy. It was not uncommon that pairings undergo arguments, fights, and feuds during the bonding process, as well as an intimate closeness at times. Much akin to life partners squabbles and such, before a symbiosis takes hold and they then can act as one. “I eagerly look forward to meeting my new Guardian, and to seeing Hextehe and Beldak again”, she softly purred, not a lie really, it would be instructional to hear of her friends’ first adventure, and her curiosity of her unnamed mystery partner was beginning to make her lightheaded. Crysalis yawned aloud, his interest in all of this, so K’risti stroked his ears until a proper purr issued from his throat. </span></em></span><br><span style="font-family: verdana;" class="bbc_font"><em><span style="font-size: 1em;" class="bbc_size"> </span></em></span><br><span style="font-family: verdana;" class="bbc_font"><em><span style="font-size: 1em;" class="bbc_size">“We are excited to see these new ruins, much knowledge can be gained from the past and I do like learning new and interesting things.

				Kye had been summoned and came in with rapier and bow sheathed and put away. His armor was cleaming and properly polished, his wings folded on his back. He looked damn sexy in that angelic way. "You summoned for me Lady Elena?" He said softly, gentlemanly in the way his kind usually wear. To the other female, K'risti, he bowed. "Good morrow my lady. I am Sir Kye." No title, no nothing else.

But when he bowed, so reverently, and introduced himself to her, she found her own response to catch in her throat, and she felt in sudden need of breath. All she was able to muster was a blink of her bright eyes, because she needed to check her vision, and a second blink, because she didn’t trust the first one. She was silently thankful Elena spoke up and commanded his attention away from her, allowing K’risti to breathe, and Elana’s authority demanded the illusionist to tear her eyes away from the heaven sent beauty. <br><br>The moment of sanity did not last long, this heavenly body was her new Guardian; the realization caused her to send up a silent thankful prayer to Talisid, for it had to be his hand at work here, how else could such a perfect Guardian come to be assigned to her?</span></span></em><em><span style="font-family: verdana;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 1em;" class="bbc_size"><br><br>At the mention of her name, her duty to the Order and Elana came into sharp focus and she gathered the appropriate decorum, “It shall be as you directed.

She reprimanded herself for her haste to comply, remembering her niceties and position she purred her words with delight, “Thank you for the pairing with Sir Kye, I will honor your choice with faithful service to the Order and to my Guardian.” It came out a little too embolden of her she thought, but she meant her gratitude and vow, nonetheless. <br><br>Setting the teacup upon the table she offered up her query, “What of this place should we endeavor to divine? Do we have any restrictions, prohibitions, or goals that we should have knowledge of, in handling a newly found ruin?” the words were strongly stated with her conviction to perform as required, but spoken softly and matter-of-factly to her mentor and instructor. A mentor she now found her self adoring in a beautiful and heavenly new way.</span></span></em>

Not a surprise as even she could appreciate his beauty.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;“We know next to nothing about the ruins, all we do know is that a land slip exposed a doorway.
