Let's go find a dragon

The sound of jingling gear rose up again, causing Minuet to scramble into the tree again.

Talnic swore, turning to the sound of approaching horses.

It was the same group as before. 

He watched as Minuet disappeared into a tree again.

"Can we help you?" Talnic asked, itching to reach for his sword.

I'm going to be gone for a few days, so feel free to just kind of drag Talnic along behind everyone. I'll be back on Tuesday.

Gal keeps talking, ignoring the approaching riders: "Yes, I'm sorry for the unclarity. So, will you share your talent? Or is it too personal?"

First, I'd like to remind that I only started Fire, and that I dislike mind-controlling, which is why I didn't read all the way through it. BTW, I checked in Friday and found out that in the Graceling series the eye colour of a Graceling changed, and they weren't born with heterochromia. So, are Graces different here? It could be so, since heterochromia is a natural event, and since this world isn't dedicated to this magic system unless natural occurrences of heterochromia will also be the sign of a Grace, it won't serve as a sign for Gracelings. (Did that final sentence make any sense?) I'll tag Connie outside for confirmation.

BTW2, why aren't you an Ookla anymore? Does the username automatically return after a month, or did Ookla season end?

That's right, they change. They could be different. I don't know for sure.

Ookla season's over!

Ara is part of nobility. Is there any chance she would know anything about your uncle?

Ara steps up. Time to use some of that political training Hayl gave me. “Who do you want? We already told you we haven’t seen the girl. What house  do you serve, soldier?”

I truly believe everyone here would gladly accept your joining, but I'm a jerk who gets caught in small details, and so: first, your magic system is very much like the character Chrys' (@Ookla the Empyreal's character) ability, which is completely fine, especially since we probably need to stop getting new magic systems. One problem is it seems a little far-fetched to get it into this magic system, but you don't really have to anyway, so I'm just blubbering. Another point is the fact that my character's species is called Wanderers. Again, no problem, only know that it might be confusing. You very well may ignore me, I'm only the self appointed unofficial continuity editor, which means I have no authority at all.

Also, welcome to the shard!

Edit: Who's that @JesterLavorre? And where is Ara's real player, Ookla the Sprinkle? Oh, wait a moment...

Seriously, it was a little weird to see you un-ookla'd. I probably shouldn't have joined an RP in Ookla season.

Chrys started to reply, but was interrupted by the man on the horse. It seems like he is looking for Minuet. She glanced over to where the girl used to be, but thankfully the girl had moved into the bushes so she wouldn’t be seen. Good. Chrys then looked over to where the man on the horse and a few of the group were confronting each other. “Do you mind pausing our questions for now Owlson? I have a feeling this isn’t going to end well.” She moved her stance a little bit, so she’d be ready to fight.

Gal looks up, and seems merely a little annoyed. "If you wish so." He then completely ignores the riders, and returns to reading his notebook.

Orpheus sees Ara step up and confront the knight. His wound had healed and he was feeling as fresh as ever.

He unsheathed his wicked hunting knife and fiddled with it, glaring at the man threateningly.

It’s possible.

Oh, I didn't realize that there was already a magic system like the one I wanted. Is it fine if my character is from Chrys' magic system then (just so there isn't too many magic systems). Like, Cara's great grandparents were from the Draoidh clan, but then went off on their own to be entertainers or something like that? Also, thanks for pointing out that your character's species is called Wanderers. She can be called, The Floater.

Rosalie frowned. “And why exactly do you think we’ll let you take her?” She didn’t know this person, but she definitely wasn’t letting these strangers take her away.

Sure. That works, and it would be fun for Chrys and Cara to find out that they are cousins of a sort, if that’s ok with you.

Ara was hoping this would be as easy as “she doesn’t want to come? Okay, she can stay with you.” I guess not. He seems okay, maybe I can reason with him? Appeal to his sense of morality?

Ara says “Then, perhaps we should just go our separate ways. I doubt either of us want anything on our conscience, right? Do you have family at home? What would they think?”

Well, I was hoping I wouldn’t have to do this. Ara tries to suppress the shaking in her hands, holding one arm in the other, she takes a step foreword, trying to project authority.

”I am Lady Auriel Orius of House Orius, and I take insult at your insinuation that I am a liar! Now, when you go back to your lord, tell him you have insulted an Elevated One so! Now, begone!” Ara winced inwardly. Poor soldier. Hopefully word of this encounter didn’t get back to her family. Ara had gone quite some time without having to run into them.

Quote

You can decide how the soldier reacts to this, or if he even knows about Ara’s house, or believes her. Mainly, this is just an excuse for Ara’s house to learn where she is.

Gal looks up immediately, then groans. Apparently, he's not only messed up in a prophecy, but with politics too. Bother. He could never decide which was worse.

An elaborate lie. "If this doesn't work, Ara, we'll have to do this the hard way. They seem pretty set on it."
