Fraya was right. For the two of them to solve the various mysteries that surrounded these artifacts and the people involved, they would have to go to Alyon's father for some hard answers. No sooner that they had finished their conversation they felt the train begin to slow down as it began to make it's way into the station. Peering out the window Alyon could see the night sky with the faint glow of lights. Even without seeing the town buildings she could tell that she was home. It was just something about the air that made her feel at ease.

The two of them stood up and began to gather their belongings so that they could disembark the train and make the trip to Alyon's home. When the two of them stepped onto the platform they could see only a handful of people were around them, a sure sign that this town was not high on the tourism attraction list.

[color=7ea7d8][b]"This way..."[/b][/color] Alyon spoke as the girls walked off the platform and towards the edge of town. The darkness surrounded them and produced an eerie silence that was only broken by the sound of the moist ground squelching under their feet and a few frogs croaking in the distant. Before too long they were on a small path that lead to a lone house, surrounded by a few oak trees and resting on the edge of some farmland. 

Alyon stepped up to the doorway where a dim light shone through the gaps around the edges, and with a steady knock she heard the shuffle of some feet. The door creaked open as a [url=http://orig09.deviantart.net/bb30/f/2011/224/5/1/anime_man_by_cresk95-d46c7oc.png]bearded man[/url] stuck his head out, [b]"Who's there and what do ya want!"[/b]

[color=7ea7d8][b]"Hello Father, I've come ho..."[/b][/color] before completing her greeting the door swung open and the man stepped forward to embrace her daughter in a grand hug.

[b]"Pumpkin!"[/b] he bellowed as he held onto his daughter, [b]"Look at you. You need to rest, and who's you're friend here. She's..."[/b] His eyes stopped his speech as he examined the creature that was accompanying Alyon, looking at the tail and horns that made up her build. [b]"Get inside! Now!"[/b] he bellowed at Alyon before motioning for Fraya to enter the immediately and slamming the door behind them. In an instant he spun on his feet, and rested his hands on the shoulder of Fraya, [b]"You found one of them... You actually found one of the Ancients."[/b]
