Adi ignored Austen as she continued towards the city. He could pout all he liked, she wasn't going to indulge him acting like a child. Coming here had been a mistake, Austen felt he had something to prove with his family and it was making him blind to better judgement. While sneaking into the...

Austen was ranting about how what he had done had been the right thing. It just showed how he had never been what he liked to call commoners. If he had he would know that getting supplies for their trip would not be that difficult. They already had weapons and camp supplies. Food was the only...

Adi watched as the giant faded into the darkness. She turned her sights towards Austen who was looking through the bag he had just been given. "We need to pack up. He's going to tell the others where we are." Adi rolled up her bed mat. It was getting close to dawn anyways. Alistair grunted and...

Adi was throwing daggers at Austen from across the fire. What part of secret mission did he not understand? Inviting a hunter into their camp. Adi was tense, she was watching the peripherals as best she could. Hunters rarely go out alone. She was counting all weapons she had hidden around the...

The sounds was growing louder. It was footsteps, large footsteps. Too large to be any kind of animal. Adi had her sword at the ready, she could hear Austen breathing heavily behind her. She wondered if it was from their fight or if he was scared, not that it mattered. Any hunter could shoot him...

Adi watched as Austen flung his sword at her and easily parried the attack flourishing one of her own. He blocked it but only barely. "Swordplay is like chess. You have to watch your opponent, they way they move their feet which way they are glancing. Watch, anticipate, and exploit. You don't...

"Promptus, set, ire!" Adi countered as Austen lunged toward her. She used the hilt of her sword and knocked him off his feet. She pointed the blade at his chest. "First rule of combat: Never tell them when you plan on attacking them." Adi held out a hand to help him up. "Again."

Adi couldn't sleep. They had found good coverage in the woods, but something was making her nervous. Maybe it was residual from watching Austen. It was times like this that she was glad that she didn't really understand people, it seemed so complicated. As she was lying awake she heard Austen...

Adi nodded and led the way out of the library. They stopped briefly to collect Austen's sword and continued on out of the city unnoticed. Adi insisted that Austen lead the way since he had all the maps and Alistair stay close to him to watch out for any potential traps or robber, she took the...

Alistair had already been in the library when Adi had arrived. They nodded at each other but remained silent. Adi casually searched the shelves for any books that may be helpful on their journey. She found one and packed it away in her bag to read one night. She continued to search when she...

Adi wasn't sure when she had drifted off to sleep, but when she awoke it was dark outside. Adi moved to sit by the window and looked out at the stars, she traced the constellations in her mind. She had always enjoyed stargazing, her mentor had taught her how to navigate using them. He used to...

Adi walked over to the desk and pulled the broadsword out with one swift move and handed it back to Austen. It was a beautiful sword, it confirmed her suspicions about his family name. The last thing she needed was him trying to prove himself and getting them all killed. "You need a smaller...

Adi's concentration was disrupted but a loud crash nearby. It sounded like it had come from Austen's room. It was probably best to investigate, but Adi hesitated. She wasn't sure she wanted to start another conversation with Austen before she had to. She was going to have very little to no alone...

Adi heard Austen's door slam. She imagined it was his nerves again. He really was going to need to get that under control. Adi finished packing her bags and looked around her room. She was restless, nothing about this sat well with her. What did matter what had happened to the other nations...

Adi wondered what Austen's family was like. He was obviously very proud of them as he liked to mention his last name anytime he had the chance. Adi had no idea what that was like, it had been so long since she had been a part of any real family. Not that it bothered her, can't miss what you...

Adi studied the map as Austen went over the three options. She was surprised by his hesistance to take the lead. He had been so confident last night, besides they were going to need to be in agreement if this was going to work. Still he seemed to be looking at Adi to make the final decision...

"... These maps are ancient, they will do us no good." Austen was shaking his head at the maps. "Well that's promising. This is sounding more and more like a suicide mission." Alistair grunted in agreement. She wasn't even sure he knew how to talk, just stand there and look intimidating. Adi...

Adi pulled herself away from the comfortable chair and joined the group at the table. The master pulled some scrolls out of his robe and unrolled them on the table. "What we are about to discuss does not leave this room. Does everyone understand?" The master looked at each one of them slowly...

Adi was getting tired of waiting. It felt like it was all she had done for days. Wait in this hall, wait in that room. It was getting exhausting. She needed to fight, to train, to work out her muscles. She had been the first to be sent to the library, one other was brought in soon after. He was...

Adi maneuvered her way around the others to the front. She saw Austen standing off to the side. He looked good for as hungover as he probably was. He looked nervous too, she wondered if it was for her sake or his own. Adi had heard rumors about the king here, how he was more of an archaic...
