Alexander sighs, and looks at Dalban.
:"Well... enemies of Prixima, to be specific. Not Menelea, not any family of Prixima... just Prixima. She's got some plans in store that... would be rather bad for the rest of Menelea, and beyond."

: "To be fair, I don't think we actually know what her plans are exactly. But her preparations for them have involved a lot of meaningless bloodshed and have made almost all of us enemies of Menelea at some point. But enough about that; what do you know, sir?"

The last question was directed at Dalban.

@Dalban:

Charlotte made little hand motions while explaining.

: "We're (mostly) ex-mercenaries. We worked under Lady Kesselring, collecting a 'dragonstone' for her, and finally finished... then immediately framed for horrible crimes. Now we suspect she's collecting other stones, too, for some sinister purpose we can't afford to shrug away. It's longer than that, but I'm tired, my hair's messy, and I really wish this place had seasons other than winter."

@Seyena:

"I and Leo haven't been at the castle for eight years by now. I hardly remember things back there, especially given we left in our teens."

@Charlotte&Gregor:

Dalban looked half-shocked, half-terrified.

"Woah, Lady Prixima was... well a little eccentric as far as I remember, but she wasn't really dabbler in massacres or arcane stuff like Dragonstones. That's, hmm. That changes a lot of things. I and Leo have been assaulted just shortly after we decided to head home, and that was... uh, three months by now? If Lady Prixima went crazy it could be her thugs, or maybe someone feared our return to Kesselring... I left him with some mercenaries, then things turned worse. I got captured and the only rumor about him was that he headed toward Mercia."

"I'm not sure how he will react if he finds out about this whole affair in wrong way. He could rush to her side with the mercenaries I left him with and even more hired men from Mercian guilds. Dammit, I have to find him, somehow... Do you have a spare horse?"

[Sirus]

: "I'm sure we can get a horse in Fezzan, unless Anja can spare any from pulling the wagon..."

[Haspen]

"No I can't! Remember that messenger guy? He never returned the one I gave him!"

Dalban let out a sigh.

"Uh, allright. A horse... I need to get a weapon as well just in case. Fists don't do well against bandits, assasins and other folk."

[Gamerboy4life]

"One of us fliers can take him. It would be faster, as well."

[Sirus]

: "Mercia's a long way away though, and there's no telling how long it would take for you, Ami, or Sal to find this 'Leo' and get back. Just saying."

[Xanmyral]

"We can jus' get 'em ah horse in Fezzan, if'in we're stayin' 'here. Oi think we got 'nough ta scrape tagether."

[Praefectus Screptum]

"... I just noticed I did not kill anyone during our escape. That feels awkward."

[Zako]

"Well, if I manage to live through this and have grandchildren, I'll have one of the best stories to tell them." Edwin mumbled and he heated the air inside the wagon with his magic for comfort.

"If we can resupply, that would be most excellent. But I'm not sure if we have much money available..."

[Blade Master Model 42]

"Didn't we find a sword on our way out? Give it to the new guy so he'll stop complaining." Valor said from near the back of the wagon.

[Powder Miner]

:"He said horse, Valor, horse."

[Haspen]

"Fine with me. You could even give me a pouch of coins and I'm sure I could find a cheap horse and even cheaper sword. But that's when we get to Fezzan."

The journey, even if tense, wasn't disrupted by anything.

They've passed the gates, and the guards didn't stop them.

They got to a small plaza in front of an inn, and there was no wanted posters for them on the nearby post.

"Well, that's that. I will now go and find my sister. Hopefully she is already at the keep. I will be back in a moment." With that, Matilda stepped from the wagon and rushed toward the city center. Dalban left the wagon as well and looked at Chris.

"That sword of yours... looks a bit bulky for a spy." He nodded toward lancereaver.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Chris looked at it.

"I suppose so. I meant to give it to you earlier during the escape, but things were a bit... hectic. You can have it anyway. It might come in handy."

He passed it over.

[Haspen]

"Thanks. It will certainly be. I want to find Leo or any rumors about him as soon as possible... can I have, like 100 coins? Horses are rarely more expensive than that."
