[B][I][U]Crosstown, North-Eastern Drakovian Border[/U][/I][/B]

By the evening of their first day, the group had arrived on the Drakovian border. Cavalry rode around in occasional patrols, each one demanding to know what the odd bunch were doing crossing the border. It was free, but these guys wouldn't let a threat in without a fierce fight. But it only took a single glance at the gold-sealed letters they had to realise the importance of these.. [I]kids'..[/I] mission. Two Mages from Magiya, an Avanim Gunslinger, a Liqian Monk and a Shirokaze Samurai... They looked so out of place in such a simple country as this, but the first townful of Drakovian people were welcoming to the Morallean team.

Having stopped in a candle-lit tavern in this small border town, everyone except for a peacefully sleeping Aura was gathered around a table examining a map of the country the barkeep had handed them. After a few minutes asking around the bar, people had helpfully given them information - they'd seen the 'man with glowing eyes' head North two days ago, followed by an old Mage not a few hours later. If Craïs new Saren at all, that old Mage following him could undeniably be marked down as Master Elysius Jorach, the young man's master. The Council never said anything about Jorach following too... Perhaps they had no idea he went after his apprentice?

"Well, it shouldn't take us long to catch up. If he goes any further than the next town along the northern road, he'll be a block of ice by time we show up, and we can just drag him back to Magiya territory that way," Rei shrugged at the map, glancing at each of the team neutrally before sitting back down and sipping at her glass of water. They couldn't move again tonight... So perhaps it might be a nice time to get to know each other. Not that Rei was going to start a conversation or anything!

Aura was curled up on a seat pushed right beside Abaddon's, her head tucked into his side, sleeping soundly. Despite being on an adventure of sorts, she still decided it was a good idea to go to sleep early.
