The party went out of the inn and into the streets. Back into the cobblestones...

"Ohh... and my feet just stopped hurting too..." Rhiga whined, complaining about the sharp rocks that the road was comprised of.

They didn't have too far to walk, luckily. Still, 30 minutes was still 30 minutes longer than Rhiga wanted to be out in the open in a city that she had to flee from...

"Well, I know how you feel Rhiga. So we should try to be careful where we step on" - Arianne commented with an uneasy voice, but still able to do a smile.

Eriol looked to Arianne and then to Rhiga - "I guess that we need a way to finish everything we came to do here as soon as possible. The cobblestones don't bother me, but the smells and the things we have seen is what really bothers me." - He stopped speaking for a second. - "It would be great that the situation could change somehow." - He then made an evil grin - "A good first stwep would be to get rid of Dememoras."

After a little while (and more complaining from the females), the party came to a rundown tenement which looked like it was literally falling apart.

"A crappy, unpainted wooden building was is no place for a son of mine" Adykon said. "Let's go. Lutgicia, show me the way..."

The two of them walked inside, with Rhiga coming along as well. Walking up six stories, they knocked on the door that Luty had led them to, only to discover that it wasn't quite set on the hinges properly. A moment later, an exhausted-looking female greeted them...

marcus came up the stairs after them, taking care to not damage the stairs..which looked like they were one hard step away from collapsing.. "Is Kosjerac there" He asked kindly.. "We've brought his father with us.. "Marcus was tired his clothes were worn from days of wearing them. his quiver hung from a ratty strap aropund his back.. he turnned to Rhiga, and lifted his left claw to pull a splinter out..

Adykon was normally the one to speak for the party... but right now, he was so apprehensive about the situation, he hardly had any words...

"Hello... I... oh... how do I say this? My name is Adykon, and I believe I am the father of Kosjurec. I knew Vaeri and-"

"You look like him. I'll get him now." The female said in a raspy voice. Her eyes were bloodshot, her breath stank of alcohol, and she was smoking at least two different things in the last few hours... she stank.

Entering the tenement, Adykon saw a small male child. He was only about two years old... that was easy to see. He had brownish skin, red eyes, and two small, but sharp horns. He had the biggest eyes. Wearing a black loincloth, he was just starting to speak...

Looking up at Adykon, the mercenary could see... the largest set of eyes on a child he had ever seen. It just occured to him that the Dracon boy had seen very few adult males in his life... and probably never saw one in this tenement.

While the youths were at the temple. Jake had to carry Sasha on his back while they looked for a healer that could replenish Sasha' energy from the casting the spell during the previous fight. "wheres a healer?!" thought Jake in his head "one has to be here someplace?"

Noname · **Reply #6346 on:** October 15, 2009, 02:27:34 AM

A dracon male in dark robes approached Jake and the others. His features were obscured underneath his clothes, but it was clear that he was emanating some sort of power... and not a benevolent one. He spoke in a raspy voice;

"What have you come here for, human child? You seek healing for your female don't you? All who come here seeking help will find it, if they are willing to provide something in return. First, set her down on that stone slab. I can tell she is tired, but will recover. I can make her strength return much faster if you need it to..."

metadude1234 · **Reply #6347 on:** October 15, 2009, 02:49:42 AM

"what do you want in return?" asked Jake

Noname · **Reply #6348 on:** October 15, 2009, 04:09:23 AM

"I wish to perform an experimental spell. It's effects are temporary, but great. If you will volunteer for this, the girl will get some help recovering. I can restore her to full power in just three hours instead of the full day it would otherwise take her to do so." the robed Dracon replied.

Meanwhile...

Adykon knelt down next to Kos and spoke to him. "I might be your father. My name is Adykon. I... I'm not quite sure how to handle this" Adykon said to the group.

Nick22 · **Reply #6349 on:** October 15, 2009, 11:20:57 PM

Bring him with, and we can do our best to explain things to him.."Marcus said.. "He'll have to family to take care of him in any rate, ifyou are busy Adykon, which I'm sure you will be, I'll help Rhigaa raise him, he'll be like a son to me"
_ with that, marcus starte d down the stairs, which creaked under his weight.. "this place looks like it is not going to last much longer..' he said

Noname · **Reply #6350 on:** October 15, 2009, 11:28:43 PM

Adykon took Kos in his arms; the child offered no resistance. He was unusually light for two years old... his caretaker, a friend of Lutgicia's, didn't seem to notice or care. She had fallen down on her bed again and was sleeping off the effects of drinking and smoking... no child should live here.

Adykon, Rhiga, Kos, and the rest went downstairs. Kos was able to speak, but only spoke in single words or short sentences. He could walk, but Adykon didn't want him traversing the sharp streets. Holding onto Adykon with his little arms, he uttered "Bye" to Lutgicia's friend. Neglectful though she was in many ways, she had nevertheless helped Luty to keep him alive; specifically, the inebriated female had served as a wet-nurse when Vaeri had left, and she also watched him when Lutgicia was absent.

The three of them left the tenement and walked out into the streets made for carts instead of people... their next stop: a temple where they could get a paternity test done for Kos...

As they moved along the road the sharp stones cut into Minna's feet she seethed as she walked along.. ' Goodness these stones are course and sharp" she said, revealing a bleeding foot. "Not much we can do about that, Minna something tells me that these stones have not been paved, well, ever.. this is a poor section of the city..and it is evident.." Ilsa had cut feet as well, but she was trying to think of their next stop rather than worrying about her niccks and cuts. Minna did not share her restraint howeverm, this was proven when a rock was shoved into one of the cuts in bher feet. minna let out a loud yell of pain..

Noname · **Reply #6352 on:** October 15, 2009, 11:35:12 PM

Vespion saw their plight and acted swiftly. "I can heal this with my magic, you know. Minna, Ilsa, if you could hold out your injured feet, I can use a simple spell to fix it. I can't prevent future injuries, but when they do occur, I can heal those too."

Nick22 · **Reply #6353 on:** October 15, 2009, 11:49:47 PM

The Group paused briefly, and the two nobles sat down on a flight of steps running upward.Minna gratefully held out her feet to vespion. "Thank you for doing this.. My feet are kiling me..' She said, and Ilsa waited her turned to have her feet healed..

Noname · **Reply #6354 on:** October 16, 2009, 12:10:51 AM

Vespion knelt down and cast his magic on the girls. Holding each foot in his hands, he cast a spell. The sensation for each female was like warm sand on a beach, accompanied by some warm white light. When he let each foot go, all injuries were gone.

"I'll have to cast that spell over and over. As long as we are in Hekaga, that is... I healed your sores, but that spell won't keep new ones from coming on." Vespion told them.

Nick22 · **Reply #6355 on:** October 16, 2009, 12:15:16 AM

Yes, Which is unfortunate.. I'd rather wear some of those strange things the humans wear" Minna replied. Lets hope we can find some smoother roads to travel on soon.."
_
that unfortunately was not to be the case, as these roads went on for some distance, and were not meant for travel on foot anyway..

Noname · **Reply #6356 on:** October 16, 2009, 12:22:55 AM

Rhiga gave Minna a strange look, as did the other Dracons. Even though the road was sharp... dressing like a human in that regard was seen as odd to the Dracons, as if a human were to walk around with a parasol attached to their back just because it was sunny out.

Nick22 · **Reply #6357 on:** October 16, 2009, 12:29:01 AM

That was a pretty odd thing to say Minna' Ilsa said. "I was just refering to thier shoes' Minna replied. "Thats still being odd, my friend'Ilsa said.. "Just.. don't say anything for awhile ok..?' Ilsa shook her head.. if it was not one tihing witth minna it was another..

Noname · **Reply #6358 on:** October 16, 2009, 12:32:48 AM

"Let's just go" Adykon told the rest of them "We've seen enough odd things as it is on this trip. Rhiga, do you know of any temples that might be able to help us test Kos?"

"All of them" she said with a laugh. "It is a very common thing to do... in fact, it in uncommon for it not to be done among families who actually stay together. There's a temple 10 blocks north of here..."

Nick22 · **Reply #6359 on:** October 16, 2009, 12:38:49 AM

The group started headed towards the Temple, where both marcus and adykon would have thier paternity tested.. Marcus' was pretty straightforward, with Adykon's there was a measure of doubt. vaeri had been with countless males in her life, there could have been several different males who could be Kos' father. well that was about to be cleared up..
