[hr][h3][center][color=ed145b]General Luna[/color][/center][/h3][hr]With two weeks into the adventure, Luna had come into terms with going back to Archanea without thinking too much about it. One week into it, she was still thinking about it, but was growing extremely tired about it. The general soon just decided to let it go. The new challenge was trying to get through the night without waking up, so that he may actually get a good night's sleep. Two weeks into it, and there was still no progress. Still haunted continuously by nightmares of people she had come to know, but also come to kill. She tried to not bother any of the others from her waking nightmares, knowing that it would just cause needless worry for them.

Seeing the familiar town near the border of Archanea, she was put at ease now that she was in familiar territory. It wasn't in her homeland, but it was close. And close meant safer, unless there were bandits hanging around. But she was pretty sure that there were none around here. Hopefully. She trailed behind Emma, Shade and Dancia as they walked to the town. Luna was always leading the vanguard, given her position as general, but she was always more than happy to take to the rear. She did look around as they entered, wondering if someone she knew was around. Travelers from all around. It was a good place. She had hidden her badges that would give away that she was from Archanea - nor that she was a general of any sort. Bringing any more shame to Archanea was not to her interests.

Then came the shouting.

She saw the four men about to be hanged. She saw the robed man. And she heard the words - that the cause were these people - or at least their people. Ortusians. Luna was well aware of their transgressions from before, summoning Gaia and plunging the whole continent into war, but that didn't exactly mean that their descendants were that bad. But wait, Ortusians weren't at Dragonrage Pass, so why are they being blamed from this?

[color=ed145b]"Ortusians? Out here. Were they looking for something? They fully know that the area isn't too kind ot them."[/color] Luna muttered, enough to be heard by the girls around her. She placed a hand on her sword, and her shield was now on her left forearm. [color=ed145b]"This is injustice."[/color] She said as her grip on her sword tightened. Luna looked like she was about to jump into the fray to protect them. 

But then someone had already cut all the nooses to hang the Ortusians. Luna blinked. When did she get there? Nevertheless, this proved to be good as they were unharmed. But everyone rallied against her. The Ortusians must pay, they still think, and pay with their blood they shall. Luna turned to Emma and the others. [color=ed145b]"We must help the girl. We all were there at Dragonrage Pass. We know the Ortusians aren't at fault, they weren't even there. Not in the vicinity even, we know. We've checked."[/color] Whether or not they would agree, she would unsheathe her blade.

There was no time. She would hope to settle this peacefully, so close to Archanea and so close to anyone who might see her... rash actions. But she will protect anyone who is innocent. And these Ortusians was such. Therefore, she must protect them.

Fighting had been so frequent here. And it was damning. Despite being a soldier, she would never wish for this much bloodshed. If only there was a way to stop them without having to fight.
