Universal Darkness

Rood wanted to ask Chun a question, but he was a little afraid that he might agitate her or get on her nerves by questioning a decision that she already made. He managed to muster up the courage and speak up anyway.

"Um...Exactly what do I do when we get there? I know you said that everyone needs to stock up, but I still don't know exactly what is expected of my behavior in a structured society."

~Chun smiled up to Rood~ I dunno. what do you wana do? Its a nice town from what I hear. As for behavior, many humans have worse behavior then even you believe it or not so I dont think yours will bother anyone unless you meet another with an attitude just as bad. just dont kill anyone while we are there okay? ~she grinned at him.~

"Understood Chun. I will not disappoint you, I promise."

~Chuckles softly at his words.~ Im sure you wont love. ~she smiled at him before looking forward on the road.~

Love, a word Rood was a complete stranger to. A word he never cared to know , a feeling he never felt. Before her, he only knew death and battle, but now she gives him the desire to live, and the will to return those feelings as well. Rood swore to himself that he would spend the rest of his short life serving her every desire.

~Her mind was wandering as they walked. Past experiences. Future tactics. "what if" Senerios. ((Spelled that wrong I know)) Her eyes went wide as she went over past conversations and finally coming to the one she just had. did she really just say "Love" to him? Her eyes narrowed. this was not the time to have a love. No attachments in war, she thought to herself..... But can it really be helped? her eyes look to Rood slightly before shaking it off. Have to worry about it later.. she thought to herself. She then put her mind on Possilbe future Developments.~

Cato moved quietly behind them listening to there conversation, he didn't speak up just smiled since he found the whole situation rather funny. So he continued moving ahead towards the town looking up at the sky on occasion.

Aliir felt rather offended by the curtness of Lucretia’s response. In fact, from what he was taught at the Kajun Temple of master De’Fri, life would respond in kindness to actions made in kindness. He never wanted to believe that master De’Fri’s philosophies would ever be wrong, but he knew how the prospect of war and the ravages of death warped a creature’s perspective. It happened to a beloved of his, it wasn’t anything new. The pain that event brought him was too much to bear. To endure it again would surely break him. Love, Aliir. With time perhaps they will open up. Or at least not will to kill him.

Aliir though didn’t quicken his pace just yet. He dropped his bag and pulled out a strange looking robe. It was dark and oddly intimidating at the same time. He knew the village he was going to and the bad groups there were there. But the robe he was wearing was symbolic of a great authority from whom he won it from. It would for the most part, grant him some stock that wouldn’t be granted to normal travelers. Worst case scenario, he would ensue a riot and probably get chased out of town. He balanced the options in his head good materials versus extreme danger…no contest. He leaped up into the trees and bolted ahead of the group. Shouldn’t you slow down? he inquired bounding to another tree, Why? So that they in some warped sense of salutation can treat me as something less then their own kind?

Unattachment, Aliir. It works in both kindness and in harshness. Do not let your emotions get the best of you.

Hahaha, he laughed to himself, well, let us ration it thus: I am only running ahead of them because the group I need may not be the friendliest and I’m avoiding unnecessary suffering…that and they don’t like me

Aliiiiiiiirrrrrr

And the fading sound of his laughter could be heard as he disappeared into the dense forest of trees.

Vexx soon realized he was completely out of his special booze. All he had was that juice from the peach that made Flarg go all crazy.
He made a mental note to grab some more booze when they made it into town.

Lucrecia ran a little ahead and there she could see Gludin town, and something else of interest caught her attention.. She saw a huge banner hanging at the towns entrance reading Welcome To Gludin Town's 3 day Tournament Sign Up she almost forgot that one of the reasons why she wanted to come here.She competed in it every year and won of course,She smirked and looked back at the others "Hey found a reason you might want to stay here for a little bit " she then signalled for them to come and look.

~Chun arched a brow and made her way over to stand by Lucrecia~ A Tournament huh? Sounds like fun. ~She looekd to Rood and grinned~ Interested?

"To fight for money is dishonorable and I'd really be against it, but to fight for your honor and appreciation gives me the will and desire sign up. I shall do it, and I will win for you. No human, Elf nor Kajan shall rob me of this victory."

Cato smiled and stepped up

"A tournament? of course i'll be signing up Fighting is my thing"

Lucrecia rolled her eyes in amusement "well shall we get moving then or we going to stand around looking pretty "she said smirking she then made her way forward and saw a huge line of different races all waiting to sign up they each looked at her yes they knew who she was and nodded,she motioned the others to follow her they didn't need to cue up if they were with her.

"Did you not just here what I said? No one is stopping me and if we are allowed to kill our opponents then pray that someone beats you first. MaMoodEsRood bows to no one. He loses to no one, I am Rood and I am mighty."

Vexx knew that he would most likely win the tournament, however he had other interests in mind. He passed on signing up and looked around, heading to the nearest pub he could find.

Can-Yu was once an amazing warrior, but those days were behind him. He followed Vexx's example, and sat at the pub next to him.

~Chun smiled There is no honor in fighting for money, that is correct my dear Rood... But to prove ones self is a good reason, honor or no. She smiled to him and then followed Lucrecia to sign up.~

He followed behind her so that may sign up as well and prove himself for the both of them.

Cato walked to the sign up place after them, and quickly signed the sheet. He was excited about the tournament he hadn't been in one in a long time.
