"A dragonbone bow and arrow set? Wow, that is really worthy of a great collectionist or a great hero of legends... but I am not any of those. So I think I may just purchase the crossbow you have here with the arrows for 100 gold coins." - Qa'Meret said with a smile as he handled the money from a bag he has been carrying around tied to his belt. - "And I do have a question for you: Do you know a fast route for this town's main commerce areas? or where most people could gather?"

In the mean time, Kyo went to the exit door, opened it and took a look outside. The weather was nice with a soft breeze but that was getting somewhat cold. He could hear noises from people nearby. Maybe they all know about these newcomers by now.

Ashanii continued to suckle her, her own claws lightly rubbing down Dar Maa's back.

"Great, I sure did." Chaka said smiling to Nicula.

well you take a lleft at the corner up here.. be sure to avoid the graveyard to you right
its old ans hasnt been upkempt in several years. No telling what you might find in there" Bestilla warned as she took the gold. ' Can I help the young one with anything?' She asked as she smiled at Kyo.

Chiletrek · **Reply #2564 on:** March 05, 2014, 12:17:29 AM

"Thanks for the tip, miss." - Qa'meret told Bestilla. - "and to visit a graveyard is not really on our plans." - he grinned as he took the unloaded crossbow and started handling it, feeling it's weight, aiming at things, testing it's cord. - "and this is a good quality crossbow. You surely took great care forthe things you sale." - he kept testing the crossbow as Bestilla talked to Kyo.

The kid immediately closed the door of the store when Bestilla spoke at him. - "Ehh..no, thank you very much miss." - he said while trying to make a shy smile under his hood. - "unless you have a book about misterious things?... like, have you ever knew of people that suddenly appear in the world out of nowhere?" - he just hopes he is not making a mistake.

Nick22 · **Reply #2565 on:** March 05, 2014, 12:26:58 AM

well, i do have a book on traveling to different lands. I dont think its the one you have in mind' Bestilla replied. care to look?' She asked.

Chiletrek · **Reply #2566 on:** March 05, 2014, 12:46:12 AM

Kyo just stood there. - "No... I think that is fine..." - he then looked at Qa'meret, the adult Khajiit nodded at him. - "T-thank you, miss." - the kid replied as he went closer to Bestilla.

"Anyways, we are not going to make a performance now, because it is already getting too dark for that. But I needed the information so we can do that tomorrow. So we do have time to check books." - Qa'Meret nodded.

Nick22 · **Reply #2567 on:** March 05, 2014, 01:19:56 AM

understood my dear' thank you for stopping by. we had not had a ministrel perform her in some time..' bestilla said.'do you, by any chance, know of an argonian named SEd nues? i have a shipmebnt she ordered from me, but i havent been able to locate her, the last place i knew where she was was a small mountain town called Brug Orn"
- dtrussila and dru essa went around the city making night time deliveries, of which the residents were grateful to receive..' just one more stop, on the other side of the city' drussila said..

Chiletrek · **Reply #2568 on:** March 05, 2014, 01:47:34 AM

"Sed Nues? I do know a Sed Nues." - Qa'Meret said as he lowered the crossbow and looked back at Bestilla. - "But we split from the group for a while, but I can tell her to come here when I return to the group. And I'll be very happy to make a performance here in Sacunda, the kid here is very good with adding some 'flashy additions' to the stories." - he said but he made Kyo to feel a bit embarrassed.

Nick22 · **Reply #2569 on:** March 05, 2014, 01:56:16 AM

Shes with you then? excellent! why is she travelling with you?"Bestilla said.
-
dru essa and drussila turned down a street and stopped in front of a row of graves. the girls started moving through the graveyard, being careful not to step. on any graves when they stiopped.the smell of blood afted to them, and the girls headed to the right. the smell got more and more pungent as they moved further into the graveyard. finally they found the source of the small. the body of a human, run through with a sword, his blood staining the ground. it was only wgen the girls approached that dru essa suddenly realized the human looked familiar.' by the gods..is that.. JOHN? she gasped. ' drussila soon pulled a torch from her knapsack and lit it. and held it aloft..dru essas eyes widened as the light revealed the stunning truth. John, the human who had accompanied them from sorra and through all the adventures since, was dead.. and from his own hand, as his hands were clenched around the hilt of his sword, and the sword was sticking out of his stomach..

"Well, she is not travelling with me. Kyo and I are travelling with them, that is certainly more accurate..." - Qa'Meret replied calmly. - "... I believe in safety in numbers, and I believe Sed Nues and her partners mean no harm for anybody, they are good people that have been through a lot of things. So, we are here to rest." - he placed the crossobow over the desk and he leaned over the same furniture a bit. - "I am not sure if we will be a part of her group during all of her journey, as my goal is to go from town to town and see the world that I was unable to see when I was young due to wars. And if I can help give a little bit of joy to people, then that makes me feel good with myself too." - he then looked at Kyo, who was again looking around at the things in the store, also watching at how the small creatures gathered around his creator. - "I also want to make sure that my companion can get home safely."

we need to get the others! Dru esa said tears running down her face. ' i'll stay here you go go t the inn and get them together i'll stay here and watch over the body' Drussila said. dru essa tyurned and ran leaping over the stones and zigziging through the graveyard. she turned down a street and looked up. city hall was the tallest building left standing in Sacunda. it made for a point of reference. dru essa soon saw it to her right and ran her way towards it. she reached te inn, in a few minutes collected her breath, then headed up the stairs. ' she knocked on the second door. Dar Maa! Ashnii! she said banging hard o n the door,and unknown to her stopping them from in the middle of thier making out. darr maa was about to mate with ashnii, but the banging on the door stopped it. she threw her clothes back on and headed to the door.' whats up Dru essa? i was in the middle of something' she said.'john's dead' dru essa said sadly. and dar maas mouth flew open.' are.. are you sure' she said in a shocked voice 'yes, i recognized the clothes he had been wearing. drussila is keeping watch over the body.' Dru essa said openly crying now.' we need to get the others' dru esa and dar maa knocked niculas door stopping nicula from kissing Chaka. nicula answered the door and from the looks on dru essa and dar maas faces , the news was not good. ' What happened she said, dreading the news ' John's dead Nicula' Dru essa sobbed ' i.. we.. found him in a graveyard to the west of here.. hes.. been dead for a bit.. i . i think he killed himself. nicula fell to her knees in shock..
_ very understandable' Bestilla replied " you were lucky to run into Sed nues, as i know from experiences shes a tough but fair negotiator and you can rely on her word, if she says she'll get you something, she';ll get it for you. but i will say this ,once you are part of her group you are always one of them, no matter what happens.

"It is always good to have that feeling to belong to something. For me it was good to be able to feel that away again." - He then sighed and looked back at her. - "Well, it is time for us to leave, we may return again one of these days and maybe other members of our group could buy you some stuff." - he said with a smile as he grabbed the crossobow he bought and walked towards the exit. - "come on, Kyo, it's time to leave." - he told the kid, who nodded and walked towards the exit too. The Khajiit looked back at her again before leaving. - "Good night and thanks for the kindness." - he said and then both visitors got out of the store back in the street.

The started walking following the directions given to them by Bestilla, until they found the two streets she mentioned. Qa'Meret and Kyo turned left as instruxted, but Kyo's dragon turned right instead. - "Hey, where are you going?" - Kyo said as he started running chasing the dragon.

At that moment, Qa'Meret realized that Kyo was a very fast runner, something common in the kid's race. It took him a little while to reach him but the sight was not a good one... at all. Kyo was between some graves, totally immobile... he walked until he reached him and he realized what happened - "Drussila?" - the Khajiit asked without believeng his eyes. - "...is that, John?"

goodbye for now bestilla wabved to them as they left
drussila turned and looked at him ' yes, it is ' she said sadly. ' dru essa is gathering the others as i speak. once everyone is gathered together. we'll give him a proper burial. i didnt know him as well as the rest of you, but it is never easy to lose a friend
-
dar maa turned and alerted her mother, then dae, and feli, all of whom were obviously shockerd at the news. nicula struggled to her feet, trying to fight back tears. ' come on guys, lets go find Drussila' Nicula said to the group gathered together.

"What!?!" Ashanii said, her hands going to her mouth. She was in total shock and had no idea what to say or do. Could such a thing be true? How could it happen? She thought in total shock, sitting where she was.

=====================

Chaka looked at door, in shock at the news. "How could that happen?" She said, not sure what to do or say at the shocking news. She just sat in shock at the news.

Nick22 · **Reply #2575 on:** March 05, 2014, 09:49:08 PM

dar maa helped ashnii down the stairs and nicula did the same for chaka. it was a very solemn procession as the group headed out. the grouo stayed togethe as they walkled down the street, the city hall tower chiming the hour..it was now 9 at night..

Chiletrek · **Reply #2576 on:** March 06, 2014, 07:15:43 PM

Qa'Meret looked at Drussila but said no words. He turned over and walked towards Kyo. - "Sorry... it would have been better if you didn't see that." - he placed his hands over the kid's shoulders and took him to a bench that was close enough to Drussila, but had it's sight blocked so the kid would not have to see more of what happened. He made the kid to sit down, but he was sad to see the kid said anything, his eyes show his mind was elsewhere.

The Khajiit made sure the creatures stayed next to Kyo and then he returned next to Drussila. - "What made him take this kind of decision? I wish he gave us a warning, so we could have tried to help him." - he told her about John. - "I think I'll take the sword out of his body, it would not be good for the others to see him like this." - and then, the Khajiit, with gentle yet firm hand, removed the sword out of his body. - "This is better, so the others will remember him with a better image than we will."

Nick22 · **Reply #2577 on:** March 06, 2014, 07:35:44 PM

the sword was stained with blood, and it slowly dripped off the blade as soon the group approached,in quiet, mournful silence. nicula approached the body of john first, and she looked at the wounds in johns body. ' we need to bury him, and create a marker for him so that if no one else remembers him.. we do' nicula said.
- i dont know why he would do such a thing. despair , perhaps at his always being on the run from the emperor/ only the gods know for sure' Drussila replied.

sed nues tried to comfort her daughter, as both of them openly wept..

Kor · **Reply #2578 on:** March 07, 2014, 12:23:52 AM

Ashanii cried openly, all her grief on the surface and not letting her think of anything else, both of her hands on her face covering her eyes.

Chaka cried, a tear running down her cheeks, one from each eye, a she looked on.

Walker looked on, stunned, not sure what to do or think. he had no idea how this even had happened or why.

Chiletrek · **Reply #2579 on:** March 07, 2014, 05:54:20 PM

"Nicula, I'll go get some shovels so we can bury him, I'll be back soon." - Qa'Meret said as he went to the main entrance of the city's main graveyward area. It took only some minutes for him to get three shovels.

"Dae, Walker, would you help me please?" - he said to Dae and Walker, offereing them a shovel each, so they could start digging.

A little farther from the group, Kyo remained in the bench, keeping deep silence as he saw the group mourning their fellow member that was now lying dead before them.
