[color=00a651]"It would seem that person over there needs entrance into the city also. I have a gut feeling that she's on our quest too."[/color]

Illistrianna nodded in approval, her head turning towards the source of the conflict they have been hearing over by the gates. This one lady seemed to have even less patience than both the Elf and the Orc united. Fearing this would turn into a needless bloodbath, the elven priestess followed Malakaus closely behind. Again, she was surprised by how cool-demeaned the Orc was compared to the tales that has been told about his kind. He had a way to approach people with some smooth and class. The more she was hearing him, the more she believed he could actually be a bard.

While Malakaus was busy being diplomatic with the would-be short-tempered troublemaker, Illistrianna walked to the guards to have a talk with them.

[color=6ecff6]"I apologize for the trouble our friend here have brought you. Could you reconsider letting all of us in? We are in a hurry, for we are heading to join with the rest of our group. Surely you have been warned by your superiors about adventurers coming this morning to help the quest in his time of need, have you not?"[/color] the young diplomatic maiden told the guards, handing them Malakaus' flyer that she still held on ever since he gave it to her earlier.

The friendlier of the two guards stepped up to the Moon Elf, leaving his comrade to keep an aye on the other two strangers, and took the flyer from Illistrianna's hand. After examining it for a minute, he glanced back at the blue-skinned lady with a surprised look. 

"Well, your paper sure has suffered a lot during your travel, but I can still recognize the Adviser's handwriting. I'm surprised he took the time himself to make something addressed to the public. But I can't understand why you'd want to go inside the city. I was told your meeting point would be at that hill over there." The guard pointed towards the hill, where a rather large group of people had already gathered. In fact, some seemed to have been looking their way, surely attracted by the commotion that had happened.

[color=6ecff6]"I-is that so? I'm sorry, I didn't know the meeting point was there. Thank you for your assistance."[/color]

Illistrianna was baffled. She didn't even know she was so close to the group to begin with. As a matter of fact, she had even glanced their ways more than a few times already. This explained why she saw so many people going to the hill this early in the morning. But she wondered why so much people? Did it really required such a large group to find medecine? Perhaps they were meant to be split up in several searching groups. One of them surely knew the details of the mission. Only one way to find out, she figured.

[color=6ecff6]"Let's go meet our new comrades then!"[/color] the enthusiastic moon elf priestess exclaimed with excitement.
