<div style="text-align: center"><u>Rules</u>​</div>1) If you want to join, we would love to have you, but please get the character sheet from the Interest forum and send your completed version of it to Night Walker for review first. This helps to ensure no insanely overpowered characters come crashing the party<br>
<br>
2) All forms of adult behaviour are allowed in this world, but remember that this is a place where all people are welcome to come and play. For that reason, players are asked to roleplay full on sex scenes in their own thread and just link it back to the main story (this forum). That way people can read over the details as they wish, or can ignore the hot and heavy parts altogether if it isnât what they are into<br>
<br>
3) No taking control of other's characters unless you OK it with them first. I do not approve of godmodding or player squabbles. Additionally, in the case of any conflicts, I will listen to both sides and try to work out a resolution. I want to avoid player bickering over events in this game as much as possible. Remember, we're all here to have fun.<br>
<br>
4) Players may have up to 3 characters.<br>

				<div class="bbWrapper">The early morning sun still hung low in the sky, casting a pale orange light over the land. The Great Green was just waking. Birds sang in the towering trees while shadowy figures darted through the underbrush.<br>
<br>
The world of Humans though had been awake for hours. The chimes from Vaskaan Cityâs Temple of All Gods called the citizens to morning prayers; the students in Etanaâs magic schools were summoned to their first classes of the day; and Feraziâs extensive marketplaces and rows of merchant shops were already bustling with activity. Hunters, awake since dawn, crept through the forests. Slavers in Greystrand, Volarra, and Blackstone set out to their daily quest for Elves and Dwarves. The guards along the north and south borders of the Dead Plains passed their posts off to the next shift.<br>
<br>
In Seranto, the slave market was starting as a few slave traders finished setting up their shops.  Wood Elves, Water Elves, a few Light Elves, and even the odd Dwarf, appeared among the numerous humans up for sale, some dressed, some not. They were displayed in various manners around the massive grey cobblestone square where small trader stalls lined the sienna walls. The round court was easily 500 feet across with a tall wooden dais in the center where a quartet of Elf musicians in short tunics played. Rickety kiosks dotted the square between the slaver stalls and the band, selling all kinds of slave accessories from clothing and collars to whips and restraints. Armed guards in a variety of identifying colours patrolled the market near the stalls of their respective employers. The largest force by far was that of the Slave Magnate himself. His soldiers were tall and muscular, covered in chainmail with solid steel gauntlets, greaves, sabatons, and armets. Their outfits were covered with a tabard displaying the black X on a red field which was the banner of the Slave Magnate. Complete with heavy crossbows and long bardiches, the official Slave market guards were an imposing sight to any would-be trouble makers.<br>
<br>
On the eastern edge of the market, untouched by the low sun, a short broad man reviewed his recently purchased market licence in front of a cage holding a stunningly beautiful human woman dressed in a tiny grey thong and tattered grey bandeau which did little to hide her large breasts. A seamless silvery metal collar etched with strange characters clung tight to her neck. A taller man, dressed in the garb of a Vaskaan guard, stood next to the cage with a spear. The guard keep eyeing the imprisoned woman with a hungry look in his eyes. The smaller man had already admonished the guard twice that morning, demanding he pay attention and keep his hands off her.<br>
<br>
It was the first time to the Seranto slave market for either of them, and as excited as the guard may be, the shorter man was anxious. As beautiful as the woman was, he had been unable to break her fierce spirit. He tried his best to hide his concern. He knew it could be hard to sell her for a decent amount if buyers knew how eager he was to be rid of her.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Lynise held her hand up to her forehead to keep the morning sun out of her eyes. She didn't venture west too often and the woodlands just a few miles east of Kassan seemed fresh and new to her all over again. She stuck her "living branch" in the ground to help her up a hill, like other Dryads she could swiftly and deftly make her way through the woods but she liked to take slow walks occasionally. Through the trees she could see flits of movement from other Dryads, when it was just Nymphs around they had little reason to conceal themselves amongst one another. She carefully handled the little sapling she kept in a canvas bag full of dirt, it was inconvenient but without it she'd be tethered to her grove and that just won't do. She ventures closer to the human roads but still remains relatively out of the way, the sounds from Kassan managed to carry their way over and she knew she didn't want to get much closer.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Masako was asleep, having slept the entire trip there except to punch the smaller man when he forced her to change.  The guy probably still had it, she didnâ??t know either way due to her comatose state.  She shifted around and curled up into a ball, trying to relax on the dirt under her and grimaced in her sleep at how uncomfortable it was. The busty blonde hadnâ??t done anything to really earn a padding or pillow for herself and constantly tugged at her collar and seemed overall displeased.  It wouldnâ??t be too much longer before sheâ??d start to stir and slowly sat up, yawning, stretching her arms over her head, which made her boobs bounce some. â??Stop staring at me you Neanderthal.â? Masako snarled abrasively at the guard.<br>
<br>
As divinely beautiful as she was, regardless of how sultry she sounded when she wasnâ??t shouting at people: the ex-knight was a huge bitch.  She looked around some, noticing that at least she was in the shade for the most part and actually looked thankful.  â??Now why donâ??t you just let me out of here, youâ??re not going to make a big profit off selling me.â? She said and grumbled a bit.  â??I still maintain I wasnâ??t in Vaskaan for any covert reasons.â?</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">In the more upscale portions of Kaasan a small shop stood blending well with the other buildings around it, at least on the outside. Its windows were shaded blocked by blinds, and the only sign of just what the building was for was a weather beaten sign that merely read, 'Apothecary, Potions, Philters and Ingredients' on the thick oaken door. Within the front of the shop was filled with all manner of things various nick knacks and bits of animals and strange creatures arranged in display cases and upon shelves. The back third of the room, was cut off by a large wooden counter with a well shined finish on its surface. Behind it stood a metal display case lined with vials full of liquids of many colors and consistencies.<br>
<br>
The final detail of note though was a trapdoor inset into the floor behind the shops counter, which lead down away from the facade given to customers. The air below was humid and thick with various smells carried upon it. The faint sounds of bubbling and boiling liquids could be heard as well as the one followed the sturdy wooden ladder lower into the lab portion. The ladder would lead one too a hallway of stone one side lay a small chamber furnished only with a simple cot and a small chest filled with spare clothing, on the opposite however lay a sprawling lab with multiple cauldrons burning, lurid firelight casting things into sharp relief.<br>
<br>
The only living being in the room was hunched over a merrily bubbling cauldron of some odd greenish silver liquid hurriedly scribbling notes into a sheaf of parchment and muttering to himself, not that anyone not well versed in potion making and alchemy would have any idea what his odd ramblings meant. Suddenly though he sat up with a start, and glanced down at his wrist, upon it a single rune was fading away.<br>
<br>
"Damnation, I spent all night on my Essence of the Brute," he grumbles casting a faintly annoyed look to the boiling cauldron. Sighing he stands brushing the bits of the various ingredients from his robes. Idly he formed a brief mystic pass and the fires in the room simmered lower until they were little more than glowing coals. "Time to open the shop I suppose." The young mage mutters to himself casting a longing glance to his bed as he passes the room and moves upstairs.<br>
<br>
He lights a few of the candelabra placed to cast relief on the dim shops contents and showcase its good with minor bits of magic, and unlocked the front door opening it only to hang the small open sign underneath the Title sign. That done he returned to his counter, stretching his limbs to work out the kinks of a night spent in the lab, and stepped behind the counter to await any customers the day might bring.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">The city of Kassan was awake and active as the sun rose over Dankwood. Magic crackled the air around the magic guild and palace, the high walls around both nearly touched the tree line. A young man with shaggy brown hair and a bow in hand walked through their shadows and into the woods. The early morning air was cold and heavy. His soft leather tunic and boots made barely a sound on the dew-laden forest floor. Overhead, the canopy of trees let in few rays of sunlight. The black walls he formerly walked alongside of quickly faded away behind him. He could still hear the noise of the bustling city, but his interest was on the forest. Birds sang somewhere overhead as his eyes darted around, catching faint glimpses of creatures moving just out of sight.<br>
<br>
He took an arrow from his quiver and held it ready in his hand. The hunter had a deep respect for the forest. He knew well the possible dangers that lurked in the shadows of The Great Green. Dankwoodâs proximity to The Mire made it potentially even more dangerous. He knew that the deeper he travelled, the more he would have to watch his footing, else find himself sucked into a peat bog or fall into a sinkhole.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Lynise stopped for a moment, hearing something off in the distance. Her suspicions were confirmed when she noticed that fellow Dryads were becoming sparser and sparser, something must have spooked her kin off. She kept trekking forward, but made a concious effort to make less noise. The walls of a city appeared closer, she could actually seem them a few hundred feet away, and while she knew other Dryads lived here she pitied them for they probably spent all their time away from their own home or hidden inside it for fear of the humans. She entertained the notion of playing the hero and scaring whatever it was off, but she knew it would be difficult the distance she was from her home left her relatively weakened and hiding would take all of her effort. She could see the hunter, stalking through the trees, she herself made her way up a nearby oak to get a better glance.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">The slave market slowly grew brighter as the sun rose. The short man rubbed his cheek. His jaw was still sore from where the woman had hit him earlier. â<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#8080ff">You should know that the reason you were in Vaskaan doesnât matter. The terms of the treaty say that no Vaskaan citizen is allowed in Etana, and you people arenât allowed in Vaskaan neither. If you wanted to have a friendly chat you should have met whoever you was coming to see out here in Ferazi.</span>â He stuffed the paper into one of his many belt pouches and turned to look at her. â<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#8080ff">And weâll get a fine enough price for you so long as you behave yourself.</span>â The taller man poked her with the butt of the spear. â<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#0080ff">Yeah, so you behave yourself girl, else youâll regret it.</span>â<br>
<br>
-------------------<br>
<br>
The hunter had seen Nymphs before from a distance, and knew what it was watching him. Occasionally, plants around him would shift as he stalked the forest floor. The young man had a good sense of direction though and knew how to get home. Wise people seldom travelled off the roads that cut through The Great Green. Hunters and Slavers had to possess a keen sense of their surroundings at all times in order not to become so turned around by the Nymphsâ tricks that they became lost forever.<br>
<br>
He noticed the small creature moving up the tree. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00bf00"><i>Canât be a Dryad; it would have disappeared by now</i>.</span>  He approached the tree slowly and raised his bow. â<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00bf00">I see you up there! Come down, and donât even think about trying any tricks. Iâm a good enough shot to protect myself from things much larger than you.</span>" He was lying. In truth, he couldnât see anything clearly among the giant twisting branches, but he hoped whatever it was in the tree couldnât tell that.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Masako "tch'ed"  and stared aggressively at the short man and crossed her arms and stood up slowly, rising to almost 6'1"  and looked down on him and sneered some.   The reason was important to her, she was just there to spend some time with a friend she'd met after the last major war. And Ferazi was far too out of the way for both of them. "Frankly I don't give a damn what price you get."  Masako said, looking around the market itself and pinched her nose at just how it smelled, thank god it was open air at least.  Poking her with the spear was a mistake, you just a put a weapon within her experienced reach and in an instand, she grabbed it and jerked the spear suddenly, aiming to pull it out of the guard's grasp. "Yeah what're you going to do if I don't? If you come in here I'm going to kill you and enjoy doing it." she said. "I"m tired of fighting and killing but I will in self-defense.  Again: tell me, what would you want to see me doing on a good day to get sold off quickly?" she asked.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">The spear was too long to fit nicely in the cage, and the bars certainly didnât give Masako room to manoeuvre the thing, but she had managed to pull it away from the surprised guard. The shorter man cursed and drew a long sword that hung from a simple frog by his hip as the taller man jumped back. âYou idiot! You should have known she would try something like that.â He looked to Masako. âDo you want to get us all into trouble? If you start a fight here, those market guards will be on us in no time. I donât know what they tell you âbout the Ferazi guards back in Etana, but Iâve heard enough to know not to start trouble in the middle of Seranto!â He gave an exasperated sigh. âLook, if you donât want to act all seductive thatâs fine. But will you at least drop the spear and be quiet while we try and find a buyer? Money aside, the sooner Iâm rid of you the sooner you get out of there. After that, I donât give a horseâs behind what you do just as long as you donât come following us back to Vaskaan. Alright?â</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Masako held the spear, still pointed at the guard; having not liked how he was staring at her. The little guy, she could understand was just doing what he had to survive in the world. He wasn't the one that put her in here originally so she bore him no real malice; just a bit of dislike for his attempts to break her.  "You're right. I haven't heard alot of them but judging by how you're reacting it's a better idea." he said and  pulled the spear back some and braced the wooden shaft against the bars and broke it.  She'd now have a mid-range spear and was keeping the business end of it with her. "Fine. I'll cooperate since it's mutually beneficial to bothof us, But I'm keeping this in here with me to ensure I have some kind of security." she said and sat back down drawing in the dirt with the point of it. <br>
<br>
But after a while, she'd get bored of that and desperately wanted to stretch out and walk around some, she couldn't fully stand up in the cage; as she just learned.  Masako would start sing softly as she waited, an surprisingly beautiful sound that seemed to have a calming influence on her. It'd probably get her alot of attention as well as she continued to sing.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">The door to the apothecary shop opened with a strong blast of wind that extinguished all flames in the room. Outside for some reason appeared dark as night as a shadowy figure entered. It was bent and covered in a black robe that swirled with shimmering runes that faded in and out of view as it walked. A cold chill clung to Nall, and grew stronger as the being drew closer. When it neared the counter, it raised one arm and pointed to the man. A hand appeared from the depths of the robe, bony and gnarled by more than just age. Then it spoke, its voice ancient and powerful. The apothecary could feel the echoing voice in head as much as he could hear it. Whatever was concealed in the robes, it was most likely Human once, but no longer. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff0000">âNall Levitas, apothecary and disciple of Magewood. I have work for you.â </span> It turned its hand palm up and, as it did, a large bag appeared. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff0000">âYou will be well compensated for your services.â</span> The creature dropped the bag on the counter and lowered its hand again. The sack landed with the clatter of coins. Over a dozen gold pieces, far less than the bag clearly held, spilled out from the impact.<br>
<br>
-------------------------------<br>
<br>
Masakoâs two captors shrugged and turned from the cage back to the gathering crowd in the square. The shorter one commented, his back still to her <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#8080ff">âDonât go using that spear âtil you are well away from the guards if you put any value on your life.â</span> After that, he was quiet as he eyed people who passed by. Her partial cooperation was good enough for them.<br>
<br>
It wasnât long before her singing started to attract attention, a lot of attention. After a few minutes a sizeable crowd had gathered by the make-shift stall. People started outbidding each other over the beautiful woman. Market guards stepped in the keep a few fights from breaking up. Before long, the short man and his taller associate had a bag of money in hand and were on their way out of Seranto. <br>
<br>
A broad shouldered man with a thick studded leather brigandine, black knee-high boots, and a long sword on each hip was left with the ownership papers. He stood before the opened cage with a long leather cord in his hands. He strode confidently towards Masako. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">âYou belong to me now girl. Donât think of trying anything funny.â</span> His confidence was perhaps well earned as he seemed the type who had seen his way through a number of battles.<br>
<br>
-------------------------------<br>
<br>
The young man put away his bow and arrow and drew a dagger from his boot. He slowly started to climb the tree, eyes still alert as he searched the branches. After a few feet, he noticed the flowers of the staff, an oddity among the mighty oakâs branches. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00bf00">âSince you arenât coming down, Iâm coming up. I donât know if you understand me or not, but if you do, I want you to know I donât mean to hurt you.â</span> He cautiously worked his way up the mammoth trunk. The Oak had clearly been growing there for many generations.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Nall tapped his fingers idly on the counter as he awaited his first customers looking over a scroll that contained a list of his inventory as he did, making sure it was still up to date. So when the door jerked open slamming against the wall behind it he looked up jerkily in time to see the lights in his shop extinguished by a blast of wind. His eyes narrowed, the words of a defensive spell coming to mind as the shadowed figure stalked in. He could feel the raw power of the person and certainly didn't wish to provoke them. At the sight of the gnarled hand, inhumanly gaunt and pale he very nearly cast the shielding spell he had in mind. However one echoing proclamation later he found himself more interested in the large sack of gold spilled over hiss counter. Mysterious figure aside, that was enough to buy several key pieces of equipment for his lab.<br>
<br>
Looking back up into the shadowed recesses of the figures hood he responded in a careful tone "Well, if your willing to pay me that much, it must be important." Carefully pushing the coins back into the pouch, he added, "Just tell me what you task you need completed., my... venerable customer and it shall be done." He smiled glancing back down at the gold, awaiting the answer to his query.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Masako had hidden the broken off spearhead behind her so nobody could see it when the crowd began to gather. She was sure that nobody could see it and blatantly ignored all the bits and stuff like she was off in her own little world.  When the big guy showed up looking like every other Vaskaan Masako had killed during the war; she perked a brow at him. Her eyes narrowing dangerously, almost into slits as she looked at the cord. â??You put that cord on me and Iâ??m going to break every one of your fingers and probably your arm.â? She hissed at him.  â??You donâ??t own me either, nobody does.â? Masako said.  <br>
<br>
But the shorter man was right, she couldnâ??t put the spear in the guyâ??s throat until they were out of Seranto. â??Iâ??m not going to act like your fucktoy, your servant or your damn wench.â? She said. â??If youâ??d be so kind as to take me back to Etana and let me go Iâ??ll reward you thrice what you paid.â? Masako said in the tone of an arrogant noblewoman, making it absolutely clear she had no intention to cooperate unless he proved he didnâ??t have lewd things in mind.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">The man was a giant among men, standing a good six inches or more above Masakoâs head. He laughed at her response. âEtana nobility huh? Wonder why those Vaskaan guys were selling you off.â He put his hands on his hips, subtly unlocking the swords from their sheaths. âAlright girl, Iâm willing to listen to what you got to say, but you got to compromise too.â He held out the cord. âNeither one of us wants to start trouble right now do we? I can see from the look of your body that you likely know how to throw a punch. You let me tie your hands for some security and we can discuss you possibly getting back home.â The look in his cool grey eyes was neutral, and the stern set of his stubble-covered jaw indicated that his words werenât playful or deceitful in any way, they were serious. In fact, everything about the man seemed serious. He had an air about him like one would expect from a door guard at a tavern in the bad part of a big city: intimidating, powerful, and ready for anyone to step out of line at a momentâs notice.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">She wasnâ??t intimidated in the least bit by his height not the swords, her eyes already seeing targeting reticules on his body, the underarms, the groin, the knees and so on.  Standing up the guy was certainly huge but it was all overcompensation, a guy with that much testosterone was probably shrunken below the belt.  She hid the spear head behind her as she shrugged. â??What is it with you people and those leashes. Weâ??re not dogs you know. Iâ??ll behave well enough, do I honestly look stupid enough to cause problems here in Seranto surrounded by men that could whup your ass?â? she made her point; one would have to be a retard to cause trouble.<br>
<br>
But sheâ??d argue it for a few moments before ending up with her hands bound by the wrists behind her back. And was out of the cage soon enough but the position made her breasts bounce and stand out even more.  She blushed some, looking at how everyone was just staring at her and began to mutter under her breath. â??Ok then letâ??s get going.â? She said boredly. â??And Iâ??ll tell you how I ended up like this, itâ??s pretty stupid really.â?<br>
<br>
Once they got going, sheâ??d explain just what happened with her visiting a friend she met in battle in Vaskaan and was arrested at the gate. Sheâ??d had no weapons on her, nothing to say she was a spy on any form of a mission. The way she looked, kind of sad and a bit disgusted by the relations between the countries being so bad a friend couldnâ??t go see another. â??It was her birthday so I was bringing her a gift. Is that really so wrong?â? she asked.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Nall watched the man, or was it thing, leave in silence as he finished gathering the coins back into the pouch. "A boy named Raizen eh... somewhere in the Great Green, just bloody wonderful I have to hunt for the needle in the haystack." he shook his head in irritation as he swept the pouch into one of the pockets of his robe. Moving out from behind his counter he crossed the floor of the showroom and pulled the open sign off of the door. Still muttering to himself he set off downstairs to collect his travel gear, and a few other things that would likely be indispensable.<br>
<br>
When he emerged little had changed of his outward appearance, but that he wore a pair of travel stained boots rather than sandals, and a cloak was slung over his shoulder, opposite the staff he now held. He whistled quietly to himself as he locked up and set off, idly counting the potions in the magically lightened satchel he carried with him. Several potions for healing, a few for stimulus if sleeping would be... inconvenient, as well as one rather more expensive piece that would temporarily heighten his combat prowess. he used mostly backstreets and alleys to reach the edge of the city, giving only a passing nod to the guards as he exited the gate. <br>
<br>
His leaving wasn't unprecedented of course, he often went out to gather matierials, however looking for an individual boy, whom he did not even know the appearance of... "How troublesome..." the young mage muttered to himself adjusting the satchel over his shoulder and walking down the dusty road that lead in the general direction of the Green.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Masakoâs captor led her down the twisting streets of Seranto, still holding the leash tied around her wrists. The large round stones that paved the road had long been smoothed flat from use, and were not terribly rough on her bare feet. The man browsed the windows of the busy shops as he listened to her story. âNo nothing wrong with it I suppose. But you should have known better. From what I seen, Etanans are bigger slavers than Vaskaanians by far. Not that I care much about where a person comes from.â He stopped short in front of a narrow building nestled between a run-down wool stapler and a large plumassier. âThis will do.â He walked inside; Masako had no real choice but to follow along.<br>
<br>
The walls were lined with shoes and boots of various styles. Most were made from leather or suede, but there were some soft woollen ones as well. The large man chose a pair of dark brown, soft leather boots and walked out. A few doors down they entered a small clothier and he picked up a sleeveless light-grey tunic. Once they were on the street again, he stopped and turned to look at Masako. âI donât mind people starring at you, but those rags you got on wonât do much good if you plan to walk all the way back to Etana.â He held out the new clothes in his spare hand, the other still holding the leash. âNow Iâm going to untie you so that you can put these on, but if you try to run youâll regret it.â<br>
<br>
He set the clothes on the ground. The low-heeled boots would easy go half way up Masakoâs thighs, and the tunic wouldnât go much past the top of them. It would have hung lower, but given her proportions, the light material wouldnât quite hang the way it was intended to. The man moved behind her and started to unknot the cord.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Masako just kept going with a sigh, the stones werenâ??t hard on her feet but it was uncomfortable to feel her barefoot slap against the flat rocks. Sometimes sheâ??d step on a bump which made her wince some as they continued along. The guy didnâ??t seem like he was that bad, maybe sheâ??d give him a chance and hear him out some, heâ??d done the same for her afterall; fair was fair.  But he had a point, going in the barest essentials would be very hard on the walk back to Etana; sheâ??d rather go alone but that wouldnâ??t be too safe either as anyone could see the silver collar and try to claim her as a slave again.  â??Alright donâ??t worry about it.â? she said, when he went to untie the cord heâ??d see the long leaf shapes spearhead she was keeping in the band of the raggedy thong. <br>
<br>
Surprised he didnâ??t take it, she heard it clatter to the floor when she stepped away and behind a barrel to change. Sheâ??d blink at the sizes. â??At least you managed to guess my sizes right enough, most people canâ??t.â? Masako said as she continued to dress and put the spear-turned-knife into the belt provided. (usually tunics were secured with one around the waist.) <br>
<br>
â??And youâ??re right itâ??d be a bad idea to walk barefoot all the way back home.â? She said. â??Let me ask you one thingâ?¦whyâ??d you buy me from that dwarf? Was it because of my singing? Iâ??d like to know why so I know if I should go more abrasive than a sharkâ??s skin or give you a chance. So far you donâ??t seem so bad.â? She said as she hopped around, trying to get the left boot up.<br>

<span class="fixed-color" style="color:red">As Nall headed out of the gates, he'd pass by two merchants that looked roughed up; one with a black eye and the other limping severly and two nearly empty wagons. They were complaining about being robbed ...someone in the Great Green with black hair and wild eyes.  Saying something about being jumped along the Greenway between the silver road and the green river near Calenost, but not near the red river. Deep in the heart of the Forest, they were staying to the protected single-wagon wide trail through the Forest.</span></div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Kassanâs south gate was always a major center for traffic. Being the only road to Ferazi made it nearly as busy as the western gate that led to the rest of the kingdom. The guards were ever watchful for known fugitives, but as long as one didnât have a price on their head, no one was likely to pay much mind to who you were or where you were going. The Silver Road stretched out ahead. It was broad, easily wide enough for four to six large wagons, and paved with cobblestones embedded in sand to help smooth out the surface.<br>
<br>
The robbed merchants were attracting some attention. Very few people were brave or foolish enough to try using the old Greenway road. The path was only as wide as a small cart and barely more than an animal trail at parts. Poorer merchants sometimes tried to use it to travel from Seranto to Kassan without having to pay the Silver Road Magnateâs tariff in Volarra, but nearly all of them never arrived at their destination. The fact that these two had not only survived the journey but that they had been attacked by a human near the heart of Wood Elf territory was newsworthy indeed.<br>
<br>
-------------------------------<br>
<br>
The man gave a booming laugh reminiscent of distant thunder. It matched his deep rich voice. âI think if you meet him again, youâll find that was no dwarf, just a very short Vaskaan.â He smiled at her. âI bought you because you looked like you would make good company. Youâre easy on the eyes and you sing like an angel. Not to mention I saw the way you stole that spear. I figured a slave like you would come in handy in a number of ways.â He could see she was not flattered by his comments on her appearance. âYou shouldnât get bent out of shape just âcause a man notices your figure. A body like that can be as much of a weapon as a sword. And speaking of swords, if you are going to poke me with that spearhead you might as well try now.â He laughed again. âYou can think what you will of me; I donât really care much for the opinions of others. Iâm just another mercenary looking for work in this town, and I was in the market because some nights get awful long.â He walks closer to her and sat on the barrel, watching her work at the boots. âIâm not sure I got the size right, but I guessed close as I could from what I could see of you. The boots should do well enough to keep your legs and feet warm, and the tunic covers you a little. I know itâs a bit small for you, but it does its job.â He drew one of the swords with one hand and an old rag with the other then proceeded to polish the blade. It was a simple and sturdy weapon: all function with little mind paid to ornamentation. âSo whatâs your name then?â</div>

But it does serve to remind me that my efforts to take care of myself pay off.â? She said wistfully, missing her hot baths back at home and could really use one of those right about now. Surprised to say the least when he gave her his reasons behind what he did; it only made her laugh, a rich humor-filled one and the smile she had as she did was lovely.  â??Donâ??t worry you got it close enough, they donâ??t pinch my toes at least.â? Masako said and finished getting the boot up and fitted properly.  <br>
<br>
â??Well Iâ??m still a knight so I donâ??t mind helping people out for the most part, but I donâ??t want to have to use my body to make long nights seem short.â? She said. â??I know how it must be lonely travelling all the time, but like I said: deliver me to the gates of Etana and Iâ??ll see to it you get a warm bed for the night and two fat bags of money. Howâ??s that sound?â? she smiled at him honestly.<br>
<br>
â??As for poking you with the spear, you havenâ??t given me a reason to yet.â? She said and blinked. Iâ??m Viscountess Sumeragi of Etana, given nameâ??s Masako.â? The blonde introduced herself pleasantly.  <br>
<br>
â??Oh as for that very short Vaskaanâ?¦I agree. Itâ??s my mistake, the dwarves were better looking tooâ?¦â? she laughed.</div>

She grabs her sapling and slams against the tree hoping to hide inside of it, it was a risky move since when a Dryad is in a tree they can be forced out if the tree is cut down. (Speculating you can ignore this if I'm wrong.) She pushed her hand on it and it slowly sank in, the key phrase being <b>slowly</b>. The distance from her home grove made it difficult to work the magic to hide inside the tree, however it wasn't impossible, it felt as if her hand was slowly sinking in an earthy, pointy molasses. She was up to her wrist and she was trying to get the rest of her body to start melding too, while she glanced down the tree to see how close the human was.</div>

Awful formal for a slave arenât you?â</span> He laughed again and put his sword away. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">âWell, miss Sumeragi of Etana, Iâm Caldraengnor Mikhavaseer, son of Trikavilamenn Mikhavaseer of Whitalfelser, but Iâm not as formal as you Etanans, so you can just call me Cal for short.â</span> He hopped down from the barrel. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">âIâve heard stories about Etanans. Your people donât exactly have a pristine reputation abroad, although you seem honourable enough.â</span> He smirked. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">âMuch as I would enjoy the use of that body, I need money, and you cost me a fair bit. Alright, Iâll take you to your home so long as I get double what you cost me as reward.â</span> He carried a large pack over his back into which he deposited the sturdy leather cord.  After securing it on his back once more, he set off towards the north end of the sprawling city. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">âHope you can keep up, and that there spearhead you got is good enough of a weapon. I donât have money to go buying you a whole fresh suit of combat gear.â</span><br>

-------------------------------<br>
<br>
((Yes, Dryads have trouble merging with dead plants; depending how dead the plant is can affect the results â a fresh cut tree would be difficult to merge with, a rotten trunk would be impossible â but ultimately cutting down a tree generally flushes out any Dryads inside, and, of course, kills any Dryad attached to the tree as well.))<br>
<br>
The hunter scrambled faster up the branches when he saw the nymph start to sink into the trunk. She was a little more than halfway in when he managed to grab hold of one leg. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00bf00">âAh-ha! I got you now.â</span> He held the dagger in his teeth and used both hands to tug at Lyniseâs leg, grunting from the effort as he slowly dragged her back out of the tree. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00bf00">âYou arenât going to escape me that easily.â</span> His voice was strained from the work of extracting the dryad, and muffled by the dagger.</div>

â??Alright then Calâ?¦â? Masako said and nodded, stretching out some to limber up. â??That works fine with me, I couldnâ??t pronounce your whole name even if you paid me to.â? She laughed jovially and studied his pack and equipment for a moment, it seemed to be in good enough condition but not topnotch and that pack seemed heavy enough. Sheâ??d easily be able to keep up, specially if she was used to wearing heavy armor while fighting with her own style.  Yeah the Etanans didnâ??t have much in the way of a good reputation with the rest of the world, just like Vaskans did probably.  â??Then we have an agreement then Cal, youâ??ll get your reward when we get back to Kassan.â? She said and thought about it, she was free and could take off running if she wanted; but that would only speak badly of her.<br>
<br>
â??The knife here? It should be enough to deal with brigands and bandits but wontâ?? do much good against heavily armored enemies.â? She said. â??I know, Iâ??ve tried one in the past.â? She said ruefully.  â??I should be able to well enough Iâ??m not as encumbered as you are by that pack.â? Masako said and continued walking, slightly behind him to give the impression of being a servant if anything else. She looked the part as well, and the collar looked like it was just a decorative accouterment. â??But how do you propose to get through the checkpoint in Volarra?</div>

She had heard of Dryads being caught before but it was so rare all the nymphs thought "Well things like that happen to <b>other</b> nymphs." Then eventually the sad reality sets in that to other nymphs you are included as an <b>other</b> Nymph. She started flailing her leg, hoping to free herself from it's grasp, but she couldn't help but come off balance as her hand started to pull out of the tree, the human fully pulling her out undoing the magic that was in progress.</div>

Provided they havenât upped the toll again, I should have enough. If they have though, well, then we might have to cut through the Green a bit. Either way, we got a long walk ahead.â</span> He reached back into his bag without breaking stride at all and pulled out a small package. From it he revealed a few pieces of flatbread. Each was about the size of the palm on one of his huge hands, both in diameter and thickness. He broke the round flat loaf in half and passed one of the fragments to Masako. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">âHere, this will help keep your strength up. Knowing slavers, Iâm guessing you havenât eaten since being captured in Vaskaan.â</span> He was mostly right, the guards had given her a few bits of stale bread and a sip or two of water while she was a captive. Calâs flatbread was very dense and full of seeds, nuts, berries, and chunks of dried fruit. Each mouthful would have taken a very long time to chew and swallow even if the bread was fresh, but this loaf was dry and tough, well on the way to stale.<br>

The young hunter and Lynise tumbled down the tree to the soft earth below. The wet nature of Dankwood made the ground even this far west slightly spongy, which was fortunate for the young hunter as it allowed him to hit the forest floor without sustaining any injury beyond a few bruises. The dagger was thrown wide during the fall and now rested with the blade half embedded in the earth a few yards away. The hunter scrambled to his knees and tackled Lynise, pinning her arms down. He was panting hard. His pale green eyes looked down at her through his mess of thick brown hair. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00bf00">âBe calm, I donât want to hurt you.â</span> He took a deep breath and released it slowly. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00bf00">âCan you understand me?â</span></div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Masako nodded but was ravenous and eagerly accepted the fragment he gave her and looked at it for a moment. It looked like a kind of ..trail mix bread, it contained all the needs for the body in one place except the meat really. Itâ??d power you for a while but wasnâ??t really too reliable as a main source of food at least.  â??Uh thanks.â? She said and took a bite of it and winced some at how hard and stale it seemed to be and shrugged, dealing with it.  Hopefully the tariffs in Volarra were at least the same price and not higher because getting lost in the green would be a very BAD idea.<br>
<br>
Sheâ??d just trail along thinking and blushed at various catcalls and even some shouted offers for goods in exchange for an hour with her. â??I wish theyâ??d shut upâ?¦ itâ??s embarrassing..â?</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Nall walked on along the forest road heading ever further away from Kassan, staff tapping the ground in time with each step. The young mage was bored already, it would take quite some time to walk the forest road and reach the Great Green. He could have rented out a horse from one of the stables but... he had never got on well with the beasts. Shaking his head in irritation he glanced to either side of the road, making a cursory check for threats. While his appearance as a spellcaster would ward off some lesser threats one never knew who would be desperate enough to try something.<br>
<br>
As he walked he removed a small mirror from the pocket of his robes, and began to mutter an incantation over the glass, as the fingers of his free had twitched and moved through the basic mystic passes for a scying spell. With only a description and a name, it would be difficult to even find, let alone discern anything about his targets location, but it was worth trying at least. Finishing the spell he gave one last glance around and focused on the mirror, trying to make out something, anything in the swirling mists that now obscured the reflective surface.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Cal laughed. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">âEmbarrassing? I think maybe you are looking at it the wrong way. Think about this, Sumeragi, would you rather be like me, having to pay for a little company? I know youâre nobility and a knight and all that, but does that really mean you have to be above enjoying yourself? You have features some women would kill for, be proud of them.â</span> The northern gates of Seranto loomed a ways ahead. Dozens of people and carts swarmed the streets. Both men and women stared at Misako as the two strode down the main road. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">âSumeragi, if I had a body that made people stare, I wouldnât be wishing I could hide it. Iâd be walking tall and showing it off with a smile. But hey, maybe thatâs just me.â</span><br>
<br>
-------------------------------<br>
<br>
The image in the glass cleared, but all Nall could see were bits and pieces of images: a broken cart half covered by a large bush; a thin trail winding through the forest; a clawed metal gauntlet on a muscled caramel-coloured arm; and wild long blonde hair. After that, the mirror went dark. Various travellers continued to go by, many on carts, most on foot. A small wooden hut with a low fence could be seen in the distance on the edge of the forest. It was the Silver Road tollbooth.<br>
<br>
-------------------------------<br>
<br>
The young man eased his grip a little and slowly looked her over. His eyes widened. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00bf00">âYou arenât an elf are you? You-youâre a tree nymph!â</span> He took another slow breath and calmed himself. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00bf00">âOk, you can speak a little, and Iâm guessing from that you understand me too.â</span> He moved off her until he was sitting next to the beautiful nymph. He still held one of her wrists. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00bf00">âIâll let go as long as you promise not to run away from me.â</span> He paused and thought for a moment before continuing. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00bf00">âNod your head if you agree.â</span></div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Masako looked at him and blinked a few times, he was really right. She would have to relax and perhaps even just flaunt her features and all but she had a problem. The more skin she had exposed the stronger her insuppressible aura of sexual appeal got. THAT was the reason why so many people were staring after her and talking amongst themselves, it took a person of strong will not to be affected by it. Yeah some nifty gift from the gods that was huh? Sheâ??d try that out though and stiffened her posture a bit more and relaxed carrying herself with a quiet dignity that made her look like a noble woman out on the town.  â??Iâ??ve had to pay for company sometimes. I have a reputation as a huge bitch even at home in Etana.â? She sighed some. â??But if I can ask: where are you from?â?</div>

It didnâ??t really bother her and she just wanted to live her life without being molested or overly involved with many people but it was a lonely life.  â??I mean they came on far too strong.â? She said. â??Itâ??s insulting to have people trying to stalk you just so youâ??ll look at them.â? Masako said. â??I havenâ??t been a very nice person for a long time.â? She said with a shrug.  â??You see, what I was bornâ?¦â? Masako explained the aura she had around her as a supposed â??gift from the godsâ? yeah some gift.</div>

Iâm not sure what youâve heard, but the truth is that men like strong women. Also, you do have an amazing body.â</span> He grinned. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">Actually, couple all that with the aura thing, and you can hardly blame a guy for fixating on getting you into bed.â</span> He laughed loudly. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">âYou donât have to worry about me though. I know how to keep my hands to myself.â</span> Neither Cal nor Masako could tell if her aura worked on him or not. Cal found Masako incredibly attractive and made no attempts to hide it, but he was controlled and polite in his own simple, direct way. He glanced at her frequently, but not so much as to become awkward or impolite; he appeared to just be checking that she was still with him and doing the polite thing by acknowledging her when addressing her. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">âYou know, itâs impressive in a way that youâve made it to your age with your virginity intact. In some cultures, you might be marrying off a daughter of your own by now.â</span> He thought a moment then looked at her again. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">âUnless that is your one of those women whoâ¦ uhâ¦ prefer the company of other women. Iâve heard stories of those, and it doesnât bother me if you are. Iâm not sure, but I think I knew a girl like that back home when I was growing up. She was nice.â</span> His statement was followed by him falling into an awkward silence.<br>

-------------------<br>
<br>
The man started to ease him grip, then noticed the canvas bag lying next to the dryad. The sapling was fine, having only lost a little dirt in the fall. He let go of her wrist and picked up the bag. Holding it with both hands, he examined the sapling growing out of it. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00bf00">âWhatâs this? Do you collect plants?â</span> He stood before she could react, still carrying the bag, as he walked over to where her staff had landed. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00bf00">âIâve never seen anything like this before.â</span> He turned back to her with a smile. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00bf00">âOr like you for that matter, at least not up close.â</span></div>

That had been... less than informative but at least it gave him a few images and possible starting points. If not for the fact that angering...<i>whatever</i> had given him this job was likely a bad idea he would probably just abandon this wild goose chase. Glancing up he saw the toll booth, a small wood and stone hut which housed the guardsmen who collected the toll from travelers. There was a relative dearth of foot traffic so he was not held up long.<br>
<br>
Counting out the few small coins for the toll he pressed them into the palm of the bored looking guard, and continued past the iron 'fence' that funneled all the foot traffic through the toll gate. In the distance he could see the deep green of the forest steadily rising over the horizon and stepped up his pace, wishing to at least make it to the forest edge before making camp.</div>

And why is it unusual fo rme to still be a virgin? Iâ??ve simply never met anyone worthwhile.â? She sneered faintly, going haughty for a moment.  Sheâ??d walk along in silence but blinked as a few guys approached Cal with offers of money for an hour with Masako and her sexy body.  Offering a small bag of gold each, not much but something at least, a look of dread going across her face as she saw and heard it.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">((I know what you mean about the short posts. I hate making them too. I feel bad how short some of my replies are, but then again, they seem long because Iâm doing 2 or 3 storylines at a time, lol. Oh, and in answer to naiads having it easier. 1 word: dams)<br>
<br>
The roughly paved road stretching out before Nall seemed to last forever. The massive trees of The Great Green gave the illusion of being incredibly close, yet there was quite a ways left. Ahead of Nall, a woman sat on the side of the road next to a small backpack. She looked up as he walked past, quickly jumping to her feet and matching step alongside him. He body was mostly hidden behind a heavy black woollen cloak. What could be made out was that she had some very feminine curves: most notably a fairly large bust. The hood of her cloak was down, revealing light olive skin, strong facial features, deep blue eyes, and a long black braid all the way down her back. In her right hand she carried her backpack. In her left she held a long wooden staff with a crook at the end. Near the crook was fixed a long narrow axe blade with a tapered head. She rested the polearm on her shoulder as she walked. She smiled at Nall as she spoke. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#804080">âA mage huh? Kassan or Magewood? Iâm a student of The Spire myself. So why you headed to The Green?â</span><br>
<br>
-------------------<br>
<br>
The hunter looked at the dryad, then to the plant, then back at her. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00bf00">âSeems like an ordinary tree to me. Strange thing to carry around in a bagâ¦ I bet it would look good in the garden back home. And, if it is a rare tree, it will be safe there.â</span> He slung the bag over his shoulder and picked up the staff and dagger. He put the latter back in his boot before walking over to the dryad and holding the staff out to her. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00bf00">âHere, you can have your stick back.â</span> He smiled as he looked her over again. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00bf00">âDo you have a name? Iâm Sean.â</span><br>
<br>
-------------------<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">âWell, having a baby hurts, but the process involved with making one doesnât. At least if itâs done right. Itâs really not something to be afraid of.â</span> Cal paused as the men approached and held out the bags of gold, each of them looking at his âslaveâ with hungry eyes. Cal took the bags and thought about the offer. For a long time he examined the bags, even opening one or two to count the contents. Every now and then he would look over as Masako. His expression was flat as he carefully weighed the offer before him. Buying the woman had cost him most of his savings, and there was enough gold in the bags to buy almost a whole new outfit with enough left over for a decent meal.<br>
<br>
Two of the men had already started to advance towards Masako while Cal thought over the proposition. A moment later, he turned to look at them. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">âWhere do you two think youâre going? I havenât said yes yet.â</span> He turned back to the men still standing in front of him. There were four or them in total. With a heavy sigh he held out the money bags to them. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">âHere, keep it. I donât need your money.â</span> The men were outraged. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">âMen like you would just devalue her. Now be on your way.â</span> One of the men who had been approaching Masako suddenly drew a dagger and charged Calâs back. In a heartbeat, the man fell dead. His head and his body were two separate, detached parts. Cal had drawn one long sword with his right hand and whirled around before the disgruntled attacker was even close enough to scratch his leather armour. The blood barely left a mark on the polished blade. Cal glared down at the remaining three. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">âDraw your weapons if you dare, coward; although, you may want to get a few more friends to make it a fair fight.â</span> He dropped the bags of gold and drew the second sword. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">Either way, you are going to have to hurry. I wonât stick around here long enough to be caught by any of the guards. </span>. The three remaining men were terrified by a combination of their friendâs swift death, the thought of being caught by the guards, and the gargantuan fighter looming over them with swords ready and a gleam of malice in his eyes. They stood, terrified. Cal roared like a bear and brought the swords down, just missing the two men standing nearest him. The three responded by running away in three separate directions, screaming the whole time.<br>
<br>
Cal laughed so hard his sides almost started to hurt as he sheathed the blades and picked up the discarded bags of gold. He then turned to Masako with a grin as he tossed a coin in the air and caught it. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">âWell now, looks like I might just be able to get us a decent meal today before we leave the city.â</span></div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">So intent on the forest ahead was he that he hardly noticed the woman until she jumped up and began keeping pace with him in the march. He gave a slight start as she did, though he hid his surprise well as he glanced over her, giving the woman a brief once over. "Magewood," he answers in response to her query a bit cautious of the girl, after all she just suddenly began walking with him and he no idea who she was or what she really wanted. he kept silent for a few moments longer as they walked and glanced over at her again, "I'm Nall, Levitas. May I have your name?" He asks, although he remains a bit guarded there is little reason to be rude.<br>
<br>
That said he keeps his gaze at eye level when he looks at her, no reason to offend an unknown quantity who may or may not take offense. Other than his single brief query though he keeps up his quick walk scowling a bit as he looks back at the forest and cursing the optical illusion that makes it difficult to tell the actual distance.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Masako backed off away from the guy stalking toward her and blinked some, her hand going to that short sword of a weapon and eyed him. She wasnâ??t afraid of some untrained idiot like this but if things got hairy, which they did, she didnâ??t want to be close to the range of that sword.  She was surprised by the response to it, anyone else mightâ??ve just gone along with the easy route for getting money without doing any real work. When the guys scattered like deer with a wolf after them, the busty blonde perked a brow at him. â??I suppose youâ??re right, and that was unexpected. For a moment it looked like youâ??d just let them go for it.â? She said. â??It looks like it was certainly enough cash.â? Masako said. â??After all, until we get to Etana Iâ??m still a meager slave.â? She said bitterly.  <br>
<br>
â??But if what you say about the Seranto guards is true, we should make like leaves in the wind and find somewhere to get that meal you mentioned.â? She said with a helpless shrug. â??If they come and find a deadman theyâ??re going to question both of us first if weâ??re still here and I doubt thatâ??d be pleasant would it?â?</div>

She flexed her muscles trying to get the branches above her to reach down menacingly but her body started making a heaving noise from exerting the effort so far away from her home. The desired affect is produced but the strain of effort is obvious with a Dryad shaking from over exertion and the branches above reaching down slowly like menacing claws.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#804080">âIâm Melaina, Melaina Belarri nice to meet you Nall. Iâve heard you Magewood people are pretty powerful; must be to pass the entrance tests I guess.â</span> She smiled slightly and turned her gaze to the forest ahead. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#804080">âYou donât look like your headed to Ferazi; you heard the rumours about that wild boy attacking people?â</span><br>
<br>
-------------------<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">âYou may be a slave, but youâre also my employer. You gave me a job to get you home safely and that is what Iâm trying to do. Besides, even if this is all some kind of trick and you donât plan to pay me, youâre still my slave and Iâd rather not have those sorts of people going and ruining you. You deserve better than that.â</span> Cal smiled and started walking again, the bags of gold safely hidden away inside his large pack. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">âGuards here are trouble. Not just in Seranto, but everywhere in Ferazi. There is no army the way you might think of an army, with a set chain of command and formal training. This whole kingdom is ruled by wealth, and the army is no different. The guards arenât trained soldiers, theyâre mercenaries, and that makes them far more dangerous. They are unpredictable and lack structure. They have no code of conduct, only a very loose set of rules. Their main concern is to eliminate any behaviour and activities that may disrupt the business of their employers. Take a look around and you will see guards in all different colours of uniform. Each part of the city has its own mix of colours depending which Magnates are in power in that particular sector. The result is you have a very unpredictable military force that is very good at keeping order at any cost.â</span> His gaze moved over the various store fronts as they walked. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">âIf the guards connected us with that body, we may be arrested for disturbing the peace, but likely only if they found out about the gold. In that case, we could try to pay them off, but it is just as likely they would steal the cash and arrest us regardless. The safest place for us to rest is by the north gate. There is a small inn there that isnât very popular, except with those who are trying to avoid attention. Itâs inside the city, but far enough from any major market not to attract much business from traders.â</span><br>
<br>
-------------------<br>
<br>
Sean looked from the dryad up to the trees that were slowly bending towards him. They looked menacing enough and scared him at first, but he quickly regained composure when he noticed that they werenât moving fast enough to pose a real threat. He could easily step out of the way long before any of the jagged branches would reach him. This far from her home, Lyniseâs powers were clearly enough to cause the massive trees to move and disorient unwary travellers, but making large trees fight on oneâs behalf was a much more complicated and strenuous endeavour. The strain on her meant that, although the trees started to move as normal, the movements quickly slowed as she exhausted herself from the effort it took to get them to do so. She was too far from home, and the young sapling didnât provide much of a battery for her to draw energy from beyond what was needed just to keep her alive with only the most basic of her otherwise impressive abilities. Such was the trade-off Nymphs who wanted to wander must make: power for mobility.<br>
<br>
Sean pushed the overexerted nymph down and drew the dagger from his boot. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00bf00">âIâve heard Nymphs couldnât be trusted! I thought I was being nice, and you try to scare me by making that tree grab for me. Well your tricks arenât going to intimidate me that easily.â</span> He watched her on the ground, clearly tired from trying to brings the ancient trees down as if she were at home in her own grove. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00bf00">âIâve heard dryads were scarier though, able to bend the forest to their will, but you look worn out after making that tree move barely at all towards me. And all because I youâre your sapling here? I said I would find a good home for it to growâ¦â </span> He looked from her to the small tree sticking out of the bag. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00bf00">âUnlessâ¦ is this little thing your home tree?â</span> He looked back at her in disbelief.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Masako listened to what Cal was saying and laughed mildly at the surprising response from the man and shook his head. Just surprised by it all and continued along, whistling softly as she walked along toward the northern exit. Masako didnâ??t want to get caught by the guards here either, sitting in a prison would be worse because then sheâ??d probably be assigned as a slave to the richest people there. Probably as his private fucktoy for the rest of her natural life, which could be a very long time.  But a rundown dingy inn near the exit for people that wanted to conceal themselves sounded good but problematic. Hopefully they wouldnâ??t stay there for the night overall; sheâ??d rather sleep on the ground than a place like that. â??Are you sure itâ??ll be ok?  I really donâ??t like places like that, itâ??s most uncomfortable but I guess itâ??s better than nothing at all.<br>
<br>
It wouldn't be long before they'd reach said place and entered in, all the peopl einside almost instantly turning to stare at her. "I think indoors concentrates that aura of mine" she said apprehensively.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Idly tapping his staff on the road as he walked Nall nodded at her first statement unconsciously  placing his hand on his right side where some years ago he had been caught on the edge of a fireball during the practical portion of the exam. He considered a moment before answering her query, "Yes... he's becoming quite a problem isn't he." He assumes his employer seeks some silence on the matter or he wouldn't have suggested Nall leave unseen. Going by his brief vision, and the lack of any other leads, this 'wild boy' could indeed be his target, it was certainly worth a shot anyway.<br>
<br>
"What is your business out here Melania?" he asks idly more to steer the conversation away from his motives than for any other reason. He looks at the forest ahead, trees slowly looming higher and higher, before glancing up at the sky where the first streaks of red are beginning to show in the west.</div>

She breathes heavily as she talks obviously exhausted. "Please give it back." She reaches a hand up lazily, her head still wavering and her eyes fluttering. The whole scene looked dark around the edges as she tried to focus on the sapling that kept her alive, and the increasingly threatening man before her. The effort of making the trees move sapped most of her power, her walking stick losing it's living glow and reverted back to a mere dead branch. She almost fell backwards completely laying down but barely kept her head and outreached arm up.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Cal looked at Masako, a little concerned about the idea of concentrating her sexual aura. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">âJust try to stay out of sight and away from people. We donât have to stay long, but I need to speak to some people there.â</span><br>
<br>
The Golden Goose was a tall narrow building flush against Serantoâs outermost wall just right of the cityâs north gate. Wagonloads of trade supplies towed by horses and oxen moved through in both directions, occasionally making room for the odd ornate carriage or a wealthy merchant or landowner to roll by. The Gooseâs plaster faÃ§ade had crumbled away over the years, exposing the rough hewn stonework beneath. The cracking wooden door hung ajar, its frame bent slightly so that it could no longer shut all the way. As the two entered, they could see a dark room full of darker figures. The proprietor stood behind a bar at the back of the room. He was a stocky man with shoulder-length grey hair, an eye patch, and a large beer belly under his stained apron. A handful of women, in brightly coloured, ill-fitting, attire and layers of makeup to cover the affects of a hard life, served food and drinks to the shifty patrons. A shabby wooden staircase started near the bar and rose up along one wall to the floor above. A small arched passage under the staircase led away from the main room, likely to the tavernâs storehouse, kitchen, and back entrance.<br>
<br>
Cal found a small vacant table in the corner nearest the bar, opposite the staircase. The four legs were uneven, causing it to wobble on the hay covered floor. It was coated in scratches and the heads of a few rusting nails protruded from the top where the table had obviously once been broken and then mended. Around it were two stools and a chair with a crooked back and one loose leg. He turned to Masako. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">âWait here, I wonât be gone long.â</span> He drew one of his swords and placed it on the table. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">âIf you have to, use this.â</span> With that he headed for the stairs. They creaked and groaned as he hurried to the second floor.<br>
<br>
It wasnât long before six men approached the table. Three wore armour and pale blue and white tabards, the other three were the ones who Cal had scared off in the street. One of the non-armoured men came closer to her. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#606060">âWhatâs this? We follow you to this hovel only to find your owner left you alone? Well, that will make this easier than we expected.â</span> The other laughed menacingly. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#606060">âYou owe us girl. Your master killed our friend and took our money, and all we wanted was a little time with his slave. Weâve come to get repayment for what he did.â</span><br>
<br>
-------------------<br>
<br>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#804080">âIâm going to investigate the rumours, same as you.â</span> Melaina looked up at the sky. [color=#804080âWould be best to make camp at the tree line. The forest is much more dangerous at night.â[/color] She looked back to Nall. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#804080">âHey, you mind if we travel together awhile?â </span> She flashed him a sweet smile and batted her long lashes. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#804080">âWeâll be safer that way and have a better chance of finding the boy, if he really exists.â</span><br>
<br>

<br>
Sean could see Lynise was getting weaker. She needed to return to her tree, or at least find a safe place to rest near the sapling. Sean gathered the dryad into his arms and started to walk towards the forest edge. Between the foiled merger into the tree and the drain of moving strange trees that were centuries old, Lynise was in no shape to protest. A moment or two passed before she was unconscious completely.<br>
<br>
When she awoke, the sun was nearly touching the tall Vaskaan Mountains in the west. Lynise was in a large rectangular garden surrounded by a tall, solid, wood fence. Beds of purple, red, and white flowers lined a center of soft green grass. At one end was a small stone building. In the middle of the grass, next to Lynise, was her sapling, planted in the ground. The only shade-giving plant was a giant apple tree growing close to the building between a simple wooden door on a low porch and the entrance to a root cellar.<br>
<br>
Sean sat under the tree eating a bright red apple as he watched Lynise stir on the grass. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00bf00">âYouâre awake. Good. I was starting to worry that sapling might not have been your tree after all.â</span></div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Masako nodded and leaned back in the chair, taking the sword and holding it low so it was under the table and not visible unless you looked from a certain angle. When she saw the men approaching she just groaned and produced the spearhead and seemed to hold it negligently. â??Youâ??re the idiots that pushed his buttons and your little buddy got what he had coming for it.â? She said coolly. â??You didnâ??t pay for crap, you all wet yourselves and dropped your money, he just happened to claim it before you remembered to come back for it. The way I see it, you donated it to our travelling fund.â? Masako said, her eyes are hard as agates and adjusted how she was sitting and tugged a bit on the silver collar. <br>
<br>
â??Youâ??re not getting crap from me, Iâ??d advise you to turn around and leave before I decide to kill you and cut out your livers for a travel snack.â? She said in a growl, hoping the threat of cannibalism would frighten them off. â??Your armor doesnâ??t matter to me either, Iâ??ve killed men scarier than all of you combined.â? She said charging up quickly before the collar kicked in to shut her down and pointed her dagger at leaderâ??s face and detonated an extremely bright flash of light meant to blind them all.<br>

It was the most magic she could manage before the collar shocked her with a mild zap of electricity, just enough to break concentration. But Sheâ??d be up on her feet in an instant and vaulted up and sprinted out the backdoor past a blinded bartender. Now sheâ??d just try to find somewhere to hide and deftly got up on an awning and laid down on it to hide out of direct sight.<br>

((I hope you don't mind, she isn't going to just roll over and let them do it))</div>

She twitches, looking at the garden in disgust, it was so artificial to her. While a human would declare the garden as appealing to the eye, through the eyes of a dryad the planned positioning of the foliage was like a slap in the face, and a part of it now was the only thing keeping her alive. "It is my tree!" She cries out as she frantically tries to dig her fingers in the dirt to remove it from the landscape and back into her possession.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">He glanced up at the sky himself, as the sun was beginning its descent to the horizon. "I had planned to do that." he says absently looking back at the deep forest they even now approached. It was difficult to discern anything past the first row of trees as the thick foliage blocked light from reaching the overgrown forest floor. He for one wouldn't care to tangle with the forest inhabitants at night, when he wouldn't be able to see well enough for a well placed spell. When she asked to accompany him he glanced briefly over at her, trying to read her expression for any ulterior motive. Nothing came to the fore though, and it would be both safer and less... boring to travel with a companion. Normally for these trips he hired on a few mercenaries and thus had some company but this mission WAS supposed to be secret.<br>
<br>
"That sounds like a decent enough plan, two sets of eyes will be more effective than one." The trees are close now enough so that he begins to veer slightly from the road to approach them, already mentally going over the necessary items to pull from his pack needed to make camp. "You do have camping supplies right?" he asks idly, as he begins rummaging in his pack, finding the various items stored in his pack, which incidently was enchanted to hold far more than its external appearance would indicate.</div>

The collar suppressed all of Masakoâs spell-like abilities, so the blinding burst of light she hoped for never came. What did happen was the evening sun pouring through the small window at the front of the bar reflected off the spearhead and into the eyes of the nearest assailant, temporarily blinding him. By the time Masako was out the backdoor, the six men were close behind her.<br>
<br>
Serantoâs alleys were more twisted and winding than its streets. The narrow lane behind the Golden Goose was barely wide enough for three average size men to stand across shoulder to shoulder. One of the men told the others to pair off and go find where the slave had gone. Masako could hear the footsteps running off down the stone paved paths.<br>
<br>
A minute passed, and then suddenly there was a ripping sound and Masako fell through the cloth she had been laying on and landed hard on the ground. One of the armoured guards stood with the man she had blinded in the tavern. The guard was holding a five foot long zweihander, and it was clear he had cut the awning. The other man bent down and picked Masako up. He held her wrists behind her back. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#606060">âYou put up a good fight, I like that in a girl, but itâs over for you now. No more running, and you donât got that barbarian here to save you.â</span> <br>
<br>
-------------------<br>
<br>
Sean walked over to where Lynise was trying to recover her sapling from the ground. He stood over her, apple still in hand. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00bf00">âI donât understand you. You were too weak to move and I bring you here where youâre safe, but do you thank me at all? No.â</span> He finished the apple and tossed the core into the garden. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00bf00">âWhile you were unconscious, I got thinking. Most people would probably keep a dryad for a slave or pet or something, or maybe sell you to someone else who is looking for that sort of thing. But Iâm not going to keep you. As I see it, someone like me could do well to have someone like you for a friend.â</span> He squatted next to her, a trowel in his hand. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00bf00">âWhat say we make a deal. Iâll give you your tree and take you back to the forest if youâll help me when Iâm out hunting. Also, I want to see the wood elf city. I know that nymphs are friends with the elves.â</span> He watched the frantic nymph closely. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00bf00">âHow does that deal sound?â</span></div>

Either he let her go or got a thoroughly broken knee were his only options. â??You forget, Iâ??m not some regular slave; I can still fight and kill you without a weaponâ? she said. â??Oh and Iâ??m also going to remember all of you so I can yank your guts out and kick you into the river.â?  Masako snickered and rolled to her feet as the guy let her go to avoid having his knees broken. â??See yaâ? she said and slipped past the guards and took off running to get into the field of view of everyone else. And would find somewhere else to hide by climbing up a ladder braced against a building and scampered up it and kicked it over so they couldnâ??t pursue and watched.</div>
