The Knights of Rhodernia [Semi-Lit+Fantasy] CLOSED

[Mayiamaru]

Mayia frowned at Vethro's comment, then heard Hunter's angered growls vibrating through his throat. Immediately, Mayia knew what ws on Hunter's mind and turned to him again with sad eyes. Hunter may have been a wolf, but it was almost like he thought like a human. With one warning bark to Vethro, Hunter rubbed up against Mayia's stomach, causing her to smile and wrap her arms around his neck. "Hunter said that even though he is a wolf, he isn't a beast." She said thoughtfully, the content look in Hunter's expression assuring Mayia that she got the right translation. "And... He's more than just a wolf to me. I know he won't ever hurt me on purpose. He promised." Mayia added, burying her face into his fur.

Ero

Ero smiled slightly at Adrian's words. He understood completely why the strangers would be wary of his presence. Elves were considered bad luck to common townspeople. He regarded the three with keen, gray blue eyes. They certainly didn't seem like ordinary townspeople. They were armed, he could tell, and by the way they moved, he could tell they were all skilled with the weapons they weilded. "I understand. I'm glad that my friend has a keen way of finding trustworthy compainions." He fondled Pita's neck affectionately, and once more, his gaze fell on the other boy's bird. The smile on his face widened. Maybe that was why Pita had decided to trust them. Keeping a bird required a special touch. Someone calm and controlled. He shrugged inwardly. Right now, he had to stay focused. "Right...well...I have no idea where she is located...but I have a feeling that she is being held by mages." He paused, mentally grimacing.

"Magic is a tricky subject. It's hard to fight, and conteract. Do any of you know about magic? If so...that would be a great help if we're to rescue my friend." Ero shifted uncomfortably, rubbing his neck. He didn't want to send these strangers into a dangerous situation for his sake. He bit his lip, his strange gaze shifting from one to another.

Adrian Mallobourne of Albava

While Ero spoke, Adrian noticed how the elf smiled at Quin, who remained calmly perched on his shoulder. Perhaps this was why the Albavan felt more open to the idea of trusting this one particular stranger... They possibly could have much in common, despite the differences in race and tradition. He decided to at least keep an open mind, which was far from easy for him.

Adrian then nodded his head slightly to the beginning of the elf's reply. "Thank you for understanding," he murmured, inwardly pleased that they - well, Clara, in his opinion - hadn't disturbed the stranger by their somewhat overly-cautious ways. There was far too much at stake to be getting into a fight and drawing unneeded attention to themselves. What Ero said next, however, caused the boy's eyebrows to furrow in deep concern...

Unknown location... mages... Definitely NOT the words he wanted to hear all in one sentance. Adrian flashed his hazel-eyed gaze over to Elenwen. She certainly knew a thing or two about magic. He had seen it himself just a short while ago, as much as he hated to recall. Just the thought of having to rescue someone from rogue magicians sent a shiver down his spine. Not his cup of tea, that was for sure.

When Ero's strangely mysterious eyes met his own, Adrian looked away, hoping the elf didn't pick up his obvious distaste for the divine arts, which most likely failed just by doing such. He cleared his throat uncomfortably, gesturing a hand toward one of the girls. "Elenwen here... is familiar with some magic, I believe..." he stated, volunteering her to speak.

((OH MY FREAKING GOD, I AM SO SORRY! Summer is starting for me, and I'm starting to get seriously busy. Recap, please? I feel so bad!!!))

Please read my siggy. Bye, guys!

((Yay, Symph! It's great to hear from you. All you need to do to catch up with Clara is to read this post:

Adrian Mallobourne of Albava

As Ero spoke, Adrian picked up the sincerity in his voice, and although Adrian - of course - hardly trusted the other man as of yet, slowly withdrew his fingers from the blades. He felt they should at least listen to what the stranger had to say, especially now that the elf pulled back his hood, revealing himself truthfully to the others. An eyebrow was raised at this revelation, but not much else. Sure, Adrian was definitely surprised to see an elf in this city, much less be called to help one, but he held no personal concern to be around them. Besides, it was three against one at the moment.

"Hmm, Ero..." Mallobourne simply echoed the name as if it were a good enough reply, watching closely as Clara suddenly stepped forward. He listened as she bluntly questioned the other young man, wondering about the answers as well. However, when she seemed to become a little too defensive, he took a step forward and placed a hand on her arm. Saying nothing to her, he glanced at Ero. "And I am Adrian of Albava.

"Trust us if you wish, but I hope you understand our reasoning for being... careful," he spoke, releasing his light grip of the girl's arm. Adrian didn't want her to get them in any trouble if it wasn't necesary, even though he was practically scepticism's number one fan. "As for your elf friend..." he continued, "Our guild has banded together to fight for the oppressed, and there's not much honor in turning our backs on someone in need of our help." Adrian practically was saying this to Clara - as he was sure making the excecutive decision to help the stranger would need an explanation - but remained focussed on the elf. "Explain how we can assist you, and we shall try our best."

And then Sparrow's and my post at the top of this page~
@Dawn: Aww, bye!!))

[Symphonia]

((I'm happy that I'm back...but what's going on with everyone else? Just...yeah, curiosity.
See ya, Dawn!))

.:.Clara Louise Golding of Albava.:.

Life is a story - just survive long enough to see its happy ending...

Clara bit her lip. She had been remaining uncharacteristically silent as Ero and Adrian spoke with each other. She didn't know why; what would make Clara have a fear of elves? It just didn't add up. The elves never did anything bad to her, so there was no reason why she should fear them. And according to what she had learned from her times in the Royal Guard, they didn't think too highly of elves.

But Clara wasn't a knight anymore. She now was a Knight of Rhodernia, serving her world well. She had no reason to be afraid of Ero. After all, he had a friend who was taken away by the Mages. That made her cringe just thinking about it. What could they be doing to her, obviously it wasn't good. It couldn't be very good at all.

Finally, the young woman sucked in her breath and straightened her back so she wouldn't look fearful, rather brave and courageous. "Mayia, too, uses magic. But I'm not sure that she'll be all that willing to help us. She's one of the more silent and wary of our group..." She said thoughtfully, and then somewhat regretted her words to a certain extent. She didn't want to push Mayia into anything that she wasn't comfortable with, but of course, she had to open her big mouth and get the group into yet another sticky situation. Clara silently sighed, and wondered what would become of the current situation. Nothing good, she assumed.

{I'm so sorry! I know I deserve to be shot for my marked avoidance of this RP. That said, I'm not sure exactly what to post.}

[Symphonia]

((Hobbit, I'm the one who should hand this RP over to someone else for being so inactive *sweatdrop* you are perfectly fine. No worries, I've done worse. To be honest, I'm still confused as well))

[Sijach~Shadowstorm]

((Join the club, I'm lost at what's going on and I only half know what Elenwen is doing so I'm just going to quote her last post and hope it still fits in with what is going on XS. Tell me if I'm in the wrong place, have something to reply to... ))

Elenwen stayed at the back of the group, awestricen. She had never seen an elf before, she had heard legends and storied about them, but never actually meet one. "There are other elves here?" her voice seemed almost childlike when she asked the question. The tales she had heard of elves were of magic, and distant lands. Why was everyone else so cautious? She stayed in the back, not wanting to cause any problems, Clara and Adrian seemed to have a better grasp on things than her.
