COLLABORATION POST INITIATED!!!!!! As the group approached on horseback they would be met with the guards of Vrondi. They would halt them and point them to the stables. Then ask for their citizenship badges. "Present them." He would say. His other Sol guards, clad in silver and natural protection stood tall and ready. Spears set to the side however as they used them to help them stand mostly. Once their names were given however the guard rubbed his chin. "Ah. Not too long ago your friend entered saying to allow you passage. However we do not know this one." He pointed to Siiga. "We thought she died, though we stayed behind and realized she wasn't. She was on the mission too," Constance spoke. "She's a strong one!" The guard rubbed his chin. But it was not a big deal. He motioned for the gates to be opened and so it was. Sliding open the giant doors took a minute or two but once open they and many others were allowed to enter or leave. But none left and none but them entered. It was immediate as to why once they walked in. Confetti and fireworks lit up the sky with colors. Dremmick's hood and muffler were back on by the time they reached the town. Even from outside the gate he could see that the festivities were in full swing. Confetti and fireworks filled the air, but he was too focused on Vrondi's promise to be entertained by them. While they were beautiful, he didn't like how it made so much noise, it made listening to the goings on around him a bit harder. Constance internally let out a big breath as they walked past them, her arm on under Siiga to support her. Patting Siiga's shoulder, she smiled . "I'll keep you safe here. Are the fireworks too loud right now? Or do you want to watch? Whatever you want to do to feel better." As the group came closer to the royal castle things got louder. Eventually they would pass it all and reach the main gates. There two Aion Knights stood. "Your royal guest passes." They said in unison. Their weapons forming an X at the door. "I'm not a kid" Siiga rolled her eyes at Connie. That said, her concern for her was kinda cute... "I don't think you're a kid. I'm trying to treat you as I would treat a friend," She spoke to her, before coming across the guards. Looking at them with a bit of confusion, she looked to Dremmick. "Did a Seraphim named Mason come through here? We are helping the Aion with a mission." "I'm not helping the fucking Aion. You might as well stick me now" Siiga growled lowly. Seems she was insistent on this [color=A52A2A]"Don't tempt me,"[/color] Dremmick said quietly to her as he passed on his way to talk with the guards. [color=A52A2A]"Mason was our ally in a mission contracted by King Vrondi under direction of Mirror of the Aion. If you have any questions, I'm sure Mason came through recently with a woman of some importance?" [/color] The two knights looked at each other. "Hm. We do know a Mason, a recently freed slave who helped the Aion earlier today. We have seen him with the Seer and Ami Lovegood. But without a royal guest you may not enter." They spoke in unison. Just then a whistle could be heard from above. Soaring down was Mirror. He gently landed next to Dremmick. [color=C6DEFF]"Took you lot long enough. Is the Seer safe?"[/color] [color=A52A2A]"She should have arrived with Mason ahead of us. From what these two say he should already be inside."[/color] Dremmick stated. He turned to the guards ,[color=A52A2A]"Does he fit the bill as a 'royal guest'?" [/color] The weapons of the knights moved aside. The door slowly opened. Mirror shrugged and walked inside. Once inside a servant welcomed them. "It's a delight you finally came Mirror. Please follow me." The servant said, leading the way to banquet hall. Constance looked to Siiga, squeezing her shoulder lightly to assure her. Helping her with walking still, she pulled the cloak together more to hide her bloody chest. "Some food will help you, eh?" She said with a smile, trying to lighten the mood while Mr. Shady Shitsalot guided them to who knows where. The servants looked at them oddly. They were clearly not royals so the guards kept an eye on the lot. The banquet hall was opened to the three. Not too from the entrance was Mason waiting. Mirror walked inside and thanked the servant. [color=C6DEFF]"What festive wonders. I wonder how long it will last..."[/color] He said as he walked to Mason. [color=C6DEFF]"How goes it fine knight? I take it things went well?" [/color] Upon hearing the voice of the Aion leader, Mason turned with a smile, [Color=darkorange]"The Allseer was delivered to the king safe and sound sir!"[/color] finishing his statement with a small salute. Looking past Mirror, he saw his companions, as well as the bandit girl Dremmick had nearly killed [Color=darkorange]"Ah, it's good to see everyone made it back!"[/color] he happily exclaimed. However, his smile began to fade as Mason turned back to Mirror, [Color=darkorange]"There was one complication, a scythe-wielding Oro accompanied by Basilisks attempted to kill the Allseer. Was it not for Dremmick's resourcefulness, I fear that the assassin would have succeeded."[/color] he whispered. Constance felt an arrow shot through her heart. She did nothing the whole time, helped noone. For someone who's motto was to keep everyone safe, she did a shitty job. She decided to study the ground for a while. Looking up at Siiga, she frowned harder. This really, really wasn't her crowd. "Hey," She spoke, lightly interupting the conversation. "Where are the medics again?" Dremmick noticed Connie and sighed, [color=A52A2A]"I had to end up using one of those potions you gave me, Constance over there was able to cover me until Mason stepped in. All in all it wasn't a big deal. But we do need a medic for our...other group member, it would seem."[/color] Her eyes widened at his response. She didn't know what to say, so she just nodded at him, swallowing hard. "Medic, yeah." "I'm fine" Siiga insisted again. "It's just a flesh wound, really" Constance looked at her with the biggest "What the hell?" ever. Mirror sighed. Putting a hand through his curls as he expressed his distaste for what was said. Alas he had to give respect to Dremmick who once again seemed to be a very reliable hand in battle. He looked to Constance. [color=C6DEFF]"That would be... Well. Lets see here."[/color] He placed a finger to his chin. [color=C6DEFF]"You there. Would you be so kind as to fetch a wound healing potion."[/color] He spoke to a servant while motioning to Siiga. The servant bowed and then scurried off. [color=C6DEFF]"We can all get a relaxing recovery in a bit. First we must speak with the King. If hes not too busy. .."[/color] Constance let out a sigh. Thank the ancestors. She looked to Siiga, a weak smile on her lips. "You're not avoiding this," She snorted.
