"A moment before you go." Rura stopped Vivan before she could leave. He pulled out the soul crystal that was connected to her energy. The Elder Sage murmured something softly under his breath before blowing onto the crystal. the faint glow it had became stronger for a moment before fading back to what it was. Rura gave a slight cough before he handed the crystal to Vivian. "Please take care not to lose the crystal. It is the only way to gather the Elder Sages energy to help enable to High Sages to help you, it is an invaluable item for your journey. Good luck my lady." Rura smiled at Vivian from beneath his hood as he took a step back from the two. He looked to Ash now, a serious look on his face that made the hair on the back of Ash's neck stand up on end. "Make sure Vivian's journey is a safe one Sir Ashton." Rura said in a calm tone, but Ash could almost hear the hint of a warning in his tone.

"Of course. She is safe with me, you both have my word on that." Ash replied with a bow of his head to the Elder Sage before looking at Vivian. "We should go. There isn't a lot of time before nightfall to get to our first stop." he warned her before turning to leave waiting for Vivian to follow after him. Ash led the way down the sloping hill heading towards Gennovia and the main road that would take them through the farmlands just outside of town, once past there they would be out of the city limits of Gennovia and on the main path towards the much smaller city of Fennire where they would hopefully be spending the night.

Rura watched the two head towards the city, positive now that he had chosen a good knight to physically protect the priestess, while he and his fellow Elder Sages would protect her spiritually. The man gave another cough this time barely able to catch his breath. Staggering slightly the sage made his way back into the temple then to his chambers before collapsing on the floor. He could feel the energy from his magical tea wearing off as his strength all but left him. Rura inhaled sharply before his eyes fluttered then closed. His body was still, then slowly it began to fade away leaving nothing behind.

As Ash and Vivian approached Gennovia, Ash glanced over at the woman. "Be sure to stay close when we get into the city, even though it's afternoon the streets will still be pretty crowded and I don't want to lose you in the crowd." He warned the woman as they entered into the city through a not so crowded side street. The two approached the cobblestone main road with had many vendor stalls with colorful canopies set up over them. They were selling various things from fresh fruits and vegetables to odd little trinkets that were mostly for decoration. People stood around bartering and buying from the many vendors while others made their way across the street to other stalls. Ash stopped and looked at Vivian pointing to the large city gate a short ways ahead of them. "Once we go through there we'll be outside the walls of the city, and you'll see the farmlands just outside. We will follow the road through the farmlands and outside of the city limits. I'll tell you more about where we're headed once we get out there." he spoke in a slightly louder tone so she could hear him over the low constant murmur of the shopping crowd.
