blood falls

"I'll handle that." She smirked walking a step ahead of him. She looked back and smiled, her brown hair blowing in the cold winter breeze.

He unconsiously licked his lips, still tasting mint. I wonder how her breath stays minty, even though I havn't seen her take any mints the entire time I've been with her... He thought as he occasionally swung his sword around to keep his sword arm warmed up in case another idiot decides to interrupt their travel.

[Shenzii]

"it's a gift... I was born with it. I can use it to my advantage" She said smirking. Her eyes flickered to meet his. "You really should just speak your mind... It would save me the trouble," She laughed.

[Moonraiser]

blinks at rowan."how is it that wherever I go you seem to be there".Shakes head."nevermind, your gonna help me?"

[Shenzii]

((huh?))

Rowan nudges Cyrus playfully and continues walking forward.

[Moonraiser]

((oops guess I misread what you were talking about))

[Chrono Blackwyng]

(moon, I think she stopped talking to you at one point, the purple italicized letters were for me...I think )
"Thats a bit invasive of you...reading other people's thoughts, exactly how long have you been reading my thoughts?" Cyrus closes the gap and bear hugs, lifting her up a foot in the air, and swings her around.

[Shenzii]

((it's ok))

[Moonraiser]

waling through the bustling city I look around viewing houses and security. From the looks of it there are guards on the all sides of the city with two guarding the main doors to the castle keep. I look up and study the patrol patterns on the wall and see there is a gap creating every hour or so on the west wall that would allow me access into the keep. I plan to wait until everyone is sleeping then I will infiltrate from the west wall.

[Shenzii]

Rowan pulled Cyrus along. "This is going to take forever," She held him and vanished. They both appeared in the city. She started walking again. The castle was larger than life and overlooked the whole city. "Come on... We need to get you inside, It may take a bit." She said slowly walking.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Cyrus wasn't impressed, the castle isn't as grand as most of the mountains he's seen in the distance. "Okay...lets go...I guess" he looks around, while holding her hand so he doesn't get too far from her.

[Moonraiser]

after the city had died down a bit I began my run into the castle. waiting outside the walla I watched as the man patrolling the west wall to leave a huge gap. Using my grappling hook I climb the wall and quickly lockpick the door and close it silently behind me. As I stepped inside I see a long corridor with what sounds like a couple guards talking in the hall adjacent to it. Thinking quickly I hide behind a barrel and hear the guards go down the opposite end of the corridor. When they have left I creep down the corridor and take the hallway adjacent to it and find another door that needs to be picked.Just as I begin picking I hear the 2 guards returning and I begin to sweat. Just before they get into eye sight I pick the lock and find myself in a very large room. This must be the entrance hall. It is so big and beutiful. However I can hear guards on the top of the main stairwell talking and so I hide under the stairs and wait for them to leave.

[Shenzii]

Rowan lead him to the large door. "The guards are asleep, so lets go." She opened them and walked inside. The gates closed on their own as they approached the grand doors. The elegant gold work glistening. She walks in and is greeted by many. "Where is my father?" She asked. He slowly walked to her. He glanced at Cyrus and frowned. "Who is this?" He asked. Rowan smiled. "This man saved my life. A knight attacked me and he helped me. He's like us." She said looking at him, seriousness in her voice.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

do I have to show him my...mixed abilities? Cyrus kneels, holding his broadsword to his side before getting back up.

[Shenzii]

No she thought. She looked at her father. "He may stay. His room will be ready shortly." He waves for three servants to go make up a room for him. "Welcome to our palace." He greeted with a warm smile. "Thank you father." She said and lead him down a large hall. Suddenly she stopped and sniffed the air. "Not him again... In the palace?" She muttered. She pulled Cyrus to her room and shut the door.
