[b]Ixonia returning to the Meeting Room and The Lore Master in the Meeting Room[/b]

[b][color=f7941d]Ixonia was not at all sure of this female. In fact she acted more like a male than a female and she did not need to show off her weapons like she did. Didn't she know that she could be inviting trouble?[/color][/b]

"Now while the contract finish drying, I will explain what shall happen next."

Mystique spoke as she pulled a small trunk out from under the table. She unlocked it.

"Each of you will receive a bag of coins. Fifty of each copper, bronze, silver and gold as a sign on bonus. You will get this money one time. The rest of the money you will earn while you are at Dragonopia Academy. I will explain what you may do to earn more money when we have class.

Just outside of town is a gypsy caravan. There will be wagons with trunks and supplies for us. Each student will receive the following so DO NOT BUY:
One trunk will contain pieces of leather.
One trunk that contains a hand press and dies.
One trunk that contains metal and a shape cutter.
One trunk that will contain leather protective garments.
One trunk that will contain various beads and such ornaments.
One trunk that will contain a variety of books such as Leather Making, Basket Weaving, Herbal Gardening, and other useful informational books. “  she spoke as she placed a bag of coins in front of each student.
“All magick books are at Dragonopia and I will issue you them as you need them. I have wands and staffs as well if you wish to learn how to use them.
This is what you need to buy for yourself. You will want to get a bed, table, chairs, kitchen equipment, blankets, at least 6 buckets, an axe, saw, baskets. If you want other things, buy it now for we will not be back here until spring. Of course you will want to barter with them for they will expect you to do so.  There are wagons for you to put your items in. I have assigned you to a wagon. You will be driving these wagons tomorrow.  There is no need to get food stuff because I have plenty in Dragonopia and there should be more on a few wagons waiting for us to take.
We will go as a group. I will greet Damon and we shall speak for a bit then I will release you to do your bargaining. There is a lot of tension in the camp at the moment. Damon’s daughter, Ixonia,  just left the camp today and she has her own cart. This should not affect you or your bargaining. 
Are there any questions before we head out to the gypsy camp?"
Damon- leader of caravan

“Greetings, Damon. I have brought my students to bargain with your people as agreed upon our last meeting.” Lore Master spoke calmly.
“Greetings, Lore Master. Please allow them to do their bargaining quickly and depart quickly.” Damon spoke in a monotone voice which meant that he was still attempting to control his anger.
The Lore Master turned to the students and nodded. Yet she was wondering what Damon was upset by. It couldn’t be her students for they had just arrived…… Or did one meet up with the gypsies before hand?

After the students left to go bartering, Lore Master walked beside Damon. She spoke in a low voice which was meant for Damon only.
“I am sorry that Ixonia is leaving the caravan. I know that it will result in a large loss of money as well. But I will make sure that she is well taken care.”

Damon shrugged then spoke
“It is the way of the world sometimes. Sometimes they come back and sometimes they don’t. I trust you to keep her out of trouble which she is. It is the fact that she is promised to another in another caravan. That is what disturbs me. She doesn’t like him and this may be her way out. It is her way of saying no.”

Lore Master smiled and spoke softly
‘So you must be angry with her to show your authority of the caravan. What about as her father?”

“Her father weeps for he is losing his daughter to a way of life that he does not approve of. Yet he will greet her before she leaves in the morning. He will give his blessing on her future and wish her well.” Damon responded as they approached the wagons.
“I have 12 wagons.  4 have food stuffs. There are 2 with your student boxes. The last 6 will be filled with what your students buy.  Shall we deal?” Damon spoke softly to his adopted daughter, the Lore Master.

After the discussion, The Lore Master placed signs on each wagon so that everyone knew what wagon to put their belongings in.
