"This truly has been one eventful evening." Smiling at all of her newly found friends, Cassi settles back comfortably, enjoying it all.

A tall athletic man walks up to the travelers.


"Greetings fellow travelers""Garrisse Burrad at your service"

"It truly indeed is a pleasure, milady."

:;His smile brighten with her kindness and welcome as he slowly moved over. It was a rather diverse and scary group, in his mind anyway, but he didn't show much in the sense of fear; after all; if he knew those men, he certainly was overly accustomed to it.::

::His eyes moved to the one who called himself Ahn'rak, as he nodded, that smile remaining.::

"Tis truly a pleasure to make your acquiatance, sir. I also applaud your boldness, but those men should not be underestimated. Those.. were the Disciples, well, to be honest, a handful of them, anyway. Not all as are vagrant as they, mind you. Ingurrian is just misunderstood alot and Ixij, when you get to know her, is rather much more charming like you milady."

::As he takes Cassi's hand and lightly kisses her palm, before letting go and sitting close to the fire, setting his book down upon his lap.::

"So, what brings all of you out into this empty valley on such a brittle cold evening?"

"and am Kelandra, Night Elf!yes do join us ,as it is always a pleasure to meet others and become acquainted."

::Even though they were gone.. the party felt the never blinking eye that was watching them but held no true source. They might not have been able to define it; but there was an everlasting presence. It was an almost dark and chilling sensation.. yet what these few wanderers had yet to realize was something...::

::It was then suddenly a voice rang out from behind them.::

"..I do hope you can forgive them.. they can be quite.. disconcerting. I assure you, they truly mean no ill-will as he said. That Ingurrian, though, he truly does lack manners."

::If any who turned to look as this lad, would notice he was a young boy. Roughly around the age of 17 or so, but his tone, his professional manner, he seemed incredibly bright for his age which was quite misleading. This boy held no weapons of any sort, only a book within his tanned hands. He wore glasses that he kept reaching up to press back with his finger. He had a warm soothing smile, which was the exact opposite of those who were just there.::

::He simply stood there at a distance for now, as his head lowered slightly.::

"..do you mind if I join you? It truly is a rather cold night.."

"Well, it seems that I have found myself in good strong company in a place like none I have yet encountered. Thank you both for standing for me." Cassi's smile spread ear to ear.

No it is not a one time thing, as you will come to meet many who just like him.I have often come across his type, I keep my distance unless provoked.

"..my intentions are beyond your grasp. I have no quarrel with you, but you, and protector of the trees, even you are on my soil. For this valley stretches for miles.. and you will find not but a few trees scattered.."

::He remained on his horse as he merely just eyed the two as they seemed extremely hostile, the one rider whispering in his ear as he nods to him in response.::

"..Now, if you will excuse us.."

::The one called Ingurrian, raised his right hand as the pack of horses all raised onto there back legs and turned and as they landed they kicked off and began to charge off in the opposite direction from where they came moving further and deeper back into the valley.::

"..ladies.."

::He bowed his head and then followed after them. Within a few moments they were gone and they could no longer even be heard.::

A voice speaks out of no where, "can I have a glass of that please, it looks refreshing".Kyrseirni then appears smiling, "hope I did not startled anyone I have been sitting here for some time looking and listening."

There’s no place like this tavern

He waves his hand as a mug in front of a oak barrel floats at the bottom of the tap. The tap amazingly shifts down and pours the Goblin’s Brew into the mug. Then with a small twitch of the bard’s finger the mug floats slowly across the tavern and into his hands.

The flute floating in the air continues to play a fine tune to his song. With a good gulp of the brew the bard continues to sing his melody.

Her cheeks turned a warm pink at De'Lana's nudging. She looks towards the man. "I've yet to meet someone who didn't open to me. It's odd to have someone not drawn to the happy air that tends to surround me. What is it that puts you off?" Her eyes are sincere as she watches for his reaction.

"I m'lady.. am called Ingurrian.. and I have a feeling our paths will cross again."

::In the far off distance, you could hear the loud thumping of a stampede of horses, with a few distinct 'H'ya's' being yelled out in between. It sounded like a small group of riders; but it wouldn't take long before the seven of them came into view. Almost instantly the group was in plain sight of them; as it had been that campfire that gave them away.::

::The riders all came to a stop near them; each looked dreadly frightening, decked in full suits of armor. One dismounted as he moved slightly closer. His large, thick sword sheathed across his side as he raised his hand to lift that twisted black helmet. He shaked his head for a moment, permitting that long silver hair to come free from its previous binding he looked amongst them for a moment, but for the moment he said nothing; he just simply peered his eyes over each; one to the next.::

"..you are all new to this Valley, are you not?"

Cassi thinks to herself (I do wish he would join us. How I enjoy company. I wonder what it is he thinks of.) absentmindedly, she stares at the man, her mind within itself.

Cassi's giggle sounds extremely feminine and young as she holds the glass. "Oh that was a bit of fun, now wasn't it?" Lifting the glass to her lips, she takes a swallow of the drink.

::He would nod a distinct thank you like welcome; as he took one the mugs and cupped it within his hands, leaving the other setting on the table beside him.::

She lurks in the shadows of the trees, listening and looking, wondering if to approach.Then sensing that there was no immanent danger from either of the three she stepped out of the shadows and approached the group.

Greetings fellow travellers, could I join your company. I am Kelandra Night Elf protector of the trees of the forest.
