The fields of Raelin were lush, though the colour was not nearly as illustrious as Frinia's lands, it held a sombre and majestic aura that captured traveller's imaginations. It made people wonder little why this for a long time in history was the head country of a great empire. Valleys lined the horizons with patches of forestry and grazing wild animals, despite the restrained look of the land, it was very much alive, with small critters in most little corners of the area.

The small group of adventurers found themselves walking off the road towards where the wolves had supposedly made their nest. A few could be seen scurrying away in the corners of their eyes. It appears they were being stalked by their own quarry. Still, as they are, there wasn't much wolves could do against a group like this.

However they would find themselves looking at an unusual sight...

A knight, in black and darkened blue armor, the style reminded them of the nation's Dragoons, yet... The armor was not nearly as shiny as those of Raelin's Dragoons, plus he was holding a giant sword, not customary for that military division. They were cautious, yet... His name preceded him. It was the Dark Dragoon. What was he doing all the way out here?

[color=0054a6]"Hm?"[/color], it seems he's noticed the party.

[color=0054a6]"Ah... Right, I suppose you all are here for the wolves... Worry not, my target lays beyond. The glory and reward for that kill is yours",[/color] he begins. He walks up to the party, and continues, his voice was unexpectedly friendly, for someone who looked so... Dark.

[color=0054a6]"Though this is good timing, for me I suppose. The wolf has basically laid it's home in front of my quarry... Or rather it has taken to hiding there. How's this sound... I will assist you until you meet the great wolf you are here for, and from there I will take off for my own business"[/color], the idea seemed to be to stay together until they encountered the large wolf... It seemed reasonable, but just what business did this knight of dark justice have all the way out here?

Her performance was captivating, everyone in the room had essentially fallen to the whims of her voice. The music even began to be led by it. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and even the workers needed to break out of a trance in order to deliver food to the patrons. It wasn't uncommon for performers to come here, most are offered the chance to perform for the guests, usually with compensation, or sometimes they are trying to get their name out. Aria's performance here was sure to get someone's attention... Or rather it did.

After her performance, she found herself being approached by a man backstage. The military badges, suit, and open carry of some very expensive weapons including an ornate revolver, he was a man of great age yet that age didn't seem to reflect in the strength of his stride. A military man, but moreover... Too ornate to still be an active general. A senator then...?

[color=fdc68a]"A fine performance, Aria of Escain I am told. My name is Gasraux Holbrand, Senator Gasraux Holbrand"[/color], he introduced himself, the Senator title seemed to be a little stressed.

[color=fdc68a]"In about three days from now, there will be a great Ball at the palace, I am here to extend an invitation to you, perhaps you would like to perform? Or mingle with the fine guests. Regardless, I feel this would be an excellent opportunity for you. Perhaps forge some connections hm? Well... I am afraid I cannot talk much more, though if you have questions... Here is the invitation, as well as a means to contact my office"[/color], he reached into his breast pocket and pulled out a gold trimmed sheet of extraordinarily fine paper, likely the invitation, and slipped with it was a business card of sorts. It seems Escain business practices were spreading, that of course using a business card and such.

With this, he bowed out, and headed off.
