"Sounds like a good plan" John said.

"We should leave soon, gods know when more of those soldiers will come" Ashnii whispered from behind him.

the group continued down the path, cutting into the woods whenever they thought someone might be passing by.. but this road turned out to be sparsely travelled as it was in the middle of nowhere.. and after several hours of walking sed nues called a halt..' Tiuime for a break.. and to get something to eat..' She said.

"I take it we'll have to forage for food" John remarked.

"Kruen isn't too far from here. If we're lucky, we should arrive by tommorrow" Ashnii explained.

John nodded and approached Sed Neus.

"You're sure this trader won't turn us in, right?" he asked.

No, I've knowqn him for years and he knows how to keep his trap shut..' Sed Nues said.. "he also has no love for the prince, although hes good at utting up a front, as everyone does in order to not draw attention..
Nicula stared ahead, in front of her the road wound up towards a hill where the outline of a city could be seen..

The group reached Kruen by sunset and passed through the gates without anyone stopping them.. his shop is on the other end of town..Ninnians a Khahijit , decent sort... but a bit stngy when it comes to gold. when you haggle witrh him, the price goes his way, or no sale

-
i'll be just happy to have a roof under my head..Dar Maa said as they walked down the cooblestone path...

"I second that m'lady" John muttered.

As the group made their way across town, a few wanted posters caught Ashnii's eye, one depicting John and another depicting Nick, both looking the way they did when they first came into Eymreil.

"It seems even here we are hunted" The Khaijit whispered.

By noon, they were close to the shop.

Nick22 · **Reply #168 on:** May 22, 2012, 01:34:02 PM

well thats why we need to keep moving, so that we gdoin't get noticed..nicula said as they reached the shop
ninnian answered the knock on the door and gazed at at the group
he was a khajjit of middle years with a husky voice and somewhat of a prickly demeanor. ' sed neus? by the gods what are you doing here!" he asked in a sharp tone. " We need a place to stay. the tax collectors ransacked Brug On and chased us into the wilderness. we need a place to stay for awhile. You remember my daughter Dar MAa, don't you?
Growing into a stunning beauty" ninnain smirked as Dar maa blushed. "Please do come in. and who are your friendsw?' This is Nicula shes a cosin from Brugash who is staying with us for awhile.. ' and this is Ashnii.. and this.. " She was cut off as Ninnian gazed at John. " Aho! so Sed, you are harboring a fugitive! Dear gods !' ninnian shoojk his head. ' do you have ay idea how much trouble this would get me i if I herlped you and they found out? you had better have the gold to make it worth my while..'

Eric walked into the town a short distance behind the others, cloak worn so that it completely obscured his face, as he rejoined the group in front of the shop...

Nick22 · **Reply #170 on:** June 02, 2012, 12:42:40 AM

This is Eric hes travelling with US dAr maa said " ninnian sighed come on in, all of you..and quickly.." He opened the door and hustled them inside.. ' There are two spare roooms on the third floor. and two more on the second.. i'll have to charge you rent and make up a story to cover you. perhaps i'll say you're researchers studying crab roots.. those are pretty rare anyway so its plusible. remt will have to be 50 gol;d though..
50 gold thats a lot of money Sed Nues Protested. My dear you are asking me to house a fugitive, and the risk to my own neck is high so the price is higher than it would be..Ninnian said firmly..
Ninnians store was stoicked with odds and ends, a wolf bpelt here an orc's head there a a motley assortment of potions herbs and fooods. a mixture of smells hung in the air.

Nick22 · **Reply #171 on:** June 06, 2012, 01:31:18 PM

is that 50 gold each? Nicula asked " yes my dear it is. so you do the math theres 6 of you thats 300 gold.. ' a night? Dar maa's mouth fell open. " but ninnian we'd only be able to stay a day or two at the most, if you charge us that much per day. all we have is the monewy we managed to bring with us.. between us we only have about 500 gold..' Ninnian sighed ' i'm sorry my dear, but you will have to pay me rent.' ' Why can't it be 50 a week/ we'll run errands, pick up suppliesw, anything' Nicula said ' please, is there anything we can do that can convince you?'
ninnian glanced at her 'where did you say you were from? ' brugash sir" Nicula replied Do you know anyone there? " No, just curious thats all.. alright heres the deal. you can stay at 50 a week but you will need to do daily errands for me, and he..' he pointed at John' will have to chane his appearance, drastically.. there are wanted signs of him and another human all over the city.' ninnian said holding up a wanted poster that had nick and John's faces on it. " the guards get one look at you boys and you're going into the lord's dungeon, before you'll be taken on a merry little trip to the kings palace , where you will be tortured , most likely, and either executed or left to rit in a dank cell. not a pleasant way to go, by any means. so, before i let you step one foot out of that door, you will have to find a way to change your appearance..'
_ I know some spells.. that could help ' Dar maa offered, as Nicula shot her a look. " Do they work? ninnian said " er.. well . i haven't tried them on many people.. Dar Maa admitted " you have to be more confident then that my dear..and have more experience. Give me what you have and I'll see how effective they are. Now hand over the 300 gold and I'll show you to your rooms." ninnian said.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #172 on:** June 06, 2012, 10:40:33 PM

Eric walked over, pulling out a coin pouch and handing it to Ninnian.
"There. That should be more than enough to both cover any costs that the others will incur, and to also ensure that you don't...accidentally let our location slip. And even were the humans on those posters to be captured, I'd stop the guards from getting them far."
He chuckled, nodding his hooded head...

Nick22 · **Reply #173 on:** June 12, 2012, 09:28:41 PM

ninnian counted the coins
you have giive n me 1000 gold, enough for nearly a month
let me show you to your rooms
and give you a list of chores to be done each day.. lets see there is the church of the godesses. bethel and asmara.. each covers a feature of womenhood, asmara covers beauty, and wiles, amnd pleasure. bethel; covers childbirth, love and marriage..
of course if you want to get married there is a fee for the ceremony and you can't have any bounty on your head..' ninnian said
on the wharf theres currs fishery,. he provides me my daily ration of fish..

"Those will be taken care of just fine" John said nonchalantly before his tone took a huge amount of seriousness.

"I think its time to get down to business" was all he said.

Nick22 · **Reply #175 on:** June 17, 2012, 01:38:43 PM

Ninnian handed Sed Nues a book on crab roots and showed her to the third floor " How has business been Ninnian? She asked. its had its ups and downs.. i do alright fnancially, but some of my business partners have not contacted me lately.. hopefully your rent will make up for it."
Downstairs Nicula look a piece of paper which listed three stores on the waterfront that they had to visit..Curs the temple and Surgo-nee's bakery.. Darr maa went with her " Lets check out the town while we're running the errands she said " its been awhile since I visited here, at least a couple years.

Nick22 · **Reply #176 on:** June 21, 2012, 08:03:43 PM

the town pof kruen was made up of three districts- the waterfront, the church district and the residents district
ninniuans shop was located near the edge of the residentas district, it was one of the first shops you saw as you entered. as the two arhgonians walked around, , they saw a number of residents, khajits, brenners, orcs and usarians, each going about thier business. a couple young khajit ran by, chasing each other..

Not far from Kreun another being entered Eymreil - a red fox. This was no ordinary fox though, he was a Power Animal, a spirit guide, for whom was unknown even to him. Reluctantly he made his way towards Kreun.

When the fox set foot inside the city, he decided to keep out of sight. Using the rooftops and the alleys to his adventage when suddenly movement caught his eye, the fox looked towards one of the shops to see a cloaked figure, who looked to be a boy in his late teens. His faciel features were obscured by the hood of his cloak and a greatsword adorned his back. The fox then noticed a silver, upright pentagram hung about the boy's neck. Then the boy looked up and the fox could make out his eyes and then it came to him.

This could be the boy who's voice he'd heard and who's image he'd seen in the astral realm, the one who would return to the physical world the moment he laid his eyes on the fox.

As the fox watched the cloaked boy, it occured to him that the child was not of this world but from Earth instead, the fox then thought that this had to be the child whose presence he felt for years. As if to prove the fox's theory. The boy crouched when some guards came past, but his posture was exactly the same as when a fox would sit on its haunches - mimicry was hardly coincidence. He was the one.

John stood up once the two guards were out of sight and continued on his way, he stopped in his tracks suddenly when he feeling of being watched came over him. He turned and cocked his head, looking thouroghly but couldn't find anyone who looked suspicious. So he continued on his way.

When John eventually reached the woods, he began his meditation. But it was cut short when the corpse of a white horse caught his eye.

Curious. John got up and went to investigate. The corpse was fresh and barely decaying and by what John could tell the horse was male, there arrows embedded in the stallion's girth. Then the realization hit John suddenly. Alkimos, the stallion who John had saved on his first visit now lay dead before him.

John dropped to his knees and, in a state he was rarely ever in, almost began to weep, but not physically.

"Alkimos, my friend, may you find peace in the afterlife" He whispered.
