A Waystation

[bob]

Here is an Inn and Tavern where travelers can stop to be refreshed.


Xienne was sitting in the middle of the room holding lively conversation with some of her subjects. She was also looking around at the strangers in the room.

[Queen Jadis]

*Screams could be heard...a man shouted something about tyrrany...then the door flung open and Jadis stepped in...*....hmm...*one of the leopards made a comment under a low breath about the dark times soon ending...* what was that?...*she walked to him* what..did you say?....*she smiled and flicked her wrist, her wand pointing at him...he turned to stone...as did the faun beside him..they immediately appeared in the caste by her magic, she then looked at them all* anyone else?...*she smiled evily* good...*she spoke with a man in the corner dressed in black...whispers of war and such..then she turned and before she left...* Let this be a lesson..if any of you dare speak of my reign...it is treason..and I will hear it...*she then left, she slammed the door so hard it fell of its hinges, she could be seen walking out into the blizzard, but then slowly faded into the snow, as if a snowflake, falling in its place with the others*

Xienne shook her head and kept drinking her mixed drink.

[alcorad]

Alcorad had been traveling behind his Queen. He knew she would show up first and make a dramatic entrance and exit, then he would show up to secure the loyalty of the Land. And then take what troops they ahd and force them into the service of the Queen.

So as the Champion rode through the blizzard he thought over the plan one more time before seeing the building. Once he reached it he dismounted and entered rather quickly. He closed the door behind himself and looked around. He was wearing a black traveling cloak and his dark armor was beneath the fabric. The hood covered his face, and he slowly began to make his way towards the Queen of the land.

She looked up as the man approached her.
"May I help you?"
She didn't like the demeanor of this man and the feathers on the nape of her neck began to bristle.

[alcorad]

Alcorad looked down at the Queen." Yes, you can." He said quietly so only she could here." I request a private audience with you. One away from prying ears." The warrior said as he looked over at a lepoard who was straining to here what the stranger had to say." Can this be arranged?"

[bob]

She nodded swiftly and motioned to the innkeeper. There was a room in this station where no one would be able to hear anything said inside of it. It was sound proofed by magic spells. The innkeeper was the only one with keys to this room. The inn keeper showed the way for the queen and Alcorad. Once they were inside and the door had been secured Xienne started talking.
"Now, what is this all about?"

[alcorad]

The Dark Warrior had followed her into the secluded room, and only once the door had been shut did he remove his hood. His dark eyes shone with a passionite radiance as he scanned the room. His hair tumbled down with the same affect of a darked waterfall." I am here to discuss an alliance with you and My Queen." He said to her gently as he took a seat and looked up into her eyes.

[bob]

She watched him and noticed how gracefully he carried himself.
"What would be the benefit to my country?"
She also sat down across the table from him.

[alcorad]

Alcorad looked at her, his eyes becoming gentle and seeming kind." Well she would not invade you. And if you where ever attacked I would come with her armies and defend you." He said as he looked over into the fire." You are a young ruler, you need to make alliances now. Before you make enemies." The Champion said gently not lokking at her, but the fire instead.

[Raven]

Raven steped though the door of the tarvern her friend raven sat on her shoulder, taking a quick look around she moved to the barand ordered a drink and bread for the bird. She took a seat at an empty table waiting for her order, the bird looked at the people at talked to the girl about what he saw.
