Town Hall

Mika was just coming in when she saw Zirean run out to the stables. She watched with confused eyes and then slowly walked after her.

---------Warehouse (where the horses are but to lazy to switch hahah)

"Is everything ok?" Mika asked a little out of breath.

(Whoops)***** (Do you want to continue here or go to the warehouse)

Zirean rubbed her neck as Mika came in. "Is everything ok?"she asked.
Zirean nodded and tried to smile "Uh....Yeah. Everything's good I guess he just wanted to see me.He can get kinda bossy now and then if he's not around me for awhile." She told Mithous
~Prick your ears up try to be happy. Don't want to make this obvious. ok. I'll try a little harder. This is the first time that's happend~ Mithous pricked his head up and put his back leg down with a grunt. She stood up slowly and went over to him.
~Better~ she whispered. ~You try being happy now that it hurts.~ He answered him she said ~I'm trying, I'm trying.~ She said aloud "I think I'll just stay here for a while now that I found him. I was going to ask earlier but no one was around."

Mika nodded slowly but wasn't convinced. "I would take a look at that back leg. Either he is colicing or that leg hurts" Mika suggested before walking back out. "If you have any more questions just ask" she called back.

She nodded quickly. Understanding. As Mika left she let out a breath of relief. She started rubbing her neck again.
Mithous looked under his belly and whinned ~I wish it would go away. I wonder if the stranger is feeling the same thing?~
Zirean answered his question ~I would assume so, but he's probably learned to deal with it.~She groaned.
~If it's hurting this much that must mean he's only miles away. I don't think the town would like to see him. He'll arrive by nightfall if this keeps up.~She said to Mithous.
~What do we do until then?~He asked
She answered him ~We wait.~

I walked in hearing commotion "Is everything ok in here?" I asked rubbing the scar on my lip.

"Uh...Yeah. I guess he was just upset that he hasn't seen me in a while." Zirean stopped rubbing her neck and blushed. Mithous put his head next to her good shoulder.

Whisper padded in from the town hall and purred when she saw Kenai. She looked up at the Friesian horse and cocked her head. ~Hi~ she said boldly

"Upset that he didn't see you?" I cocked an eyebrow and then walked closer to the two of them "How come I don't believe you?" I wasn't aware if she knew who I truly was and I wasn't about to reveal it either, I wasn't sure if I trusted her.

Kenai purred as Whisper came closer and then also looked up at the horse

Whisper glanced over at the purr and gave him a quick lick before turning back to the horse.

Mithous looked at Whisper. He said ~Hi.~In a friendly tone. Zirean leaned her head back frustrated she wasn't convincing him. "Ok....Fine I didn't want to worry Mika. An old aquantance is visiting. He won't go into the village just outside of it. I don't think he'll bother anyone. He's coming about sundown." She said looking up at the ceiling, she winced. The tattoo was getting fiercer by the minute. Mithous winnied softly.

"An old friend?" I cocked an eye at her, "And how do you know he isn't coming into the village?" I asked as my hand shifted to the hidden blades in my crested Assasin's sash

Whisper listened and glanced between Kenai and Saron and the new guests and cocked her head. She only understood about half of the conversation.

~Should we tell him?~ She asked Mithous. He nodded quickly. The pain was increasing as the day wore on. "Fine...I'll tell you the story. But you may not like it much. It happened a few years ago..." (She tells Saron the same story that I posted earlier at her house Dark Rider story) She finishe and rubbed her neck and groaned.

"I know the dark riders, very well actually. Ever heard of the Dragon Riders, now known as the Assasins?" I asked exposing my abs and side where I pointed out a small tribal dragon tattoo swooping through a cloud. "I work directly under the great master Illutari, the one your master trained from. I can tell you more if you don't know but no need to blabber on if you know. But why are they coming here?" I asked her still a bit confused

"I don't know that myself. All he said was that he'd be checking up on my training and making sure that I did my task. I'll have to see what he wants because this burn is driving us crazy." She said leaning on a post in the barn while rubbing her neck.

She turned around and pulled her shirt down over her shoulder enough to reviel the tattoo which felt hot. to reveiel the Dark Horse Tattoo. Which burned fiercly now.

"Your training and your task?" I asked again. I was full of questions right now and a little bit irritated. I tucked my shirt back in and watched for a response. If the Dark riders knew who was really here they probably wouldn't be coming here stocking.

"My training......To see if ive touched an amulet yet." She answered and pulled her shirt up. "My task........To kill the Revenge Lord. Which I have no clue who or where he is right now." Zirean frowned.

The comment about touching the amulet worried me. I didn't place my hand to my chest like I wanted to, to look for the amulet that I now possessed. 'Was this why she gave it to me' I thought back to Athara. And I also knew WHO and WHERE he was, but should i reveal it. It was my task as well. The dark riders were merely a sub division off of Illutari's grand scheme

"Ouch....." Zirean sat down after she pulled her shirt back up. Mithous laid down "Either He's galloping or he's brigning bad news." She said rubbing the tatto. Mithous grunted.

"Is there anything I need to know before he gets here? If he even raises and eyebrow funny I will kill him myself" I said with a bit of an angry tone

Whisper twitched at Saron's tone. It reminded her of Jarlon when they were dealing with Bardon. ~And trust me he will do it~ She warned Mithous

"No....Just let me see what he wants first." She groaned and let out a yelp of pain. She sighed "I think he's definately galloping."

"I hope you're right" My eyes angered a bit "For his sake I hope you are right" The trust I had put into her was temporarily destroyed
