[quote=Vanessa][color=lightblue]"So, do you still think we're bold when we hear that one of these invisible walls that's blocked an entire piece of our world off from our kind has been broken and taken down? A whole new land, with sights we've never seen and people we've never met, suddenly opens up before us and we can go there, without fear of torches, pitchforks or burning stakes."[/color][/quote]

The Incubus Knight chuckled. Albeit, sadly. "[color=lightyellow]You act like we don't get chased with torches and pitchforks by visiting the wrong places either.[/color]" He replied. "[color=lightyellow]The Ortusians know this kind of persecution just as well as you do, Madam Dark Mage. The humans of this kingdom and the humans of The Order never saw each other eye-to-eye, even before Ortus broke off. Did you know that?[/color]"

After embarking on the wagon and Vanessa conjured the winged summon with a message, the Incubus Knight's eyes seemed to have seen and watched the translucent summon take off in search of Iskah and guide the Lizardman back to this location. Despite that, however, he simply faced Vanessa and flashed her an amused smile but said nothing about it and continued on as if he never noticed.

[quote=Vanessa][color=lightblue]"An most curious phenomenon indeed... As a scholar and student of magic, I'm very curious."[/color][/quote]

The knight laughed heartedly at the distraction-question. "[color=lightyellow]Heh, you're not the only one curious, Madam Dark Mage.[/color]" If he knew this was something to simply occupy him, he did not show it and played completely along. "[color=lightyellow]I was a carpenter once in a small monster-friendly town near Ortus called Falkran. Some... things happened and I found myself training to become a warrior deep in the Emerald Demon Realms. The time I spent there and the thickness of Demon Energy turned me into an Incubus by the time I returned to Falkran.[/color]" He relayed his story quite honestly. "[color=lightyellow]I joined the Lot Knights not long after to... protect those I love from The Order.[/color]" The last part seemed he was hesitant to share.

Moments after the Incubus Knight parked the wagon at a suitable place, someone has been pushing through the bustling crowds on the way to Vanessa and the knight. "Aun!" Iskah cried as she emerged from in-between two people. "There you are!" Her eyes sparkled at the sight of her beloved, which then turned serious. "As a proud warrior of the Lizardman race, I demand that you duel me in a contest between arms!" She pointed a claw at the Incubus Knight.

"[color=lightyellow]Ahhh, so that's who you're working for.[/color]" The Incubus Knight said to Vanessa while still looking at Iskah. "[color=lightyellow]Oh, but I am just a simple knight who can barely fight. Why would you ever challenge someone like that? Should you not seek stronger men?[/color]" Aun tried to 'reason' with Iskah.

"You lie! I know your combat prowess! You're one of the strongest knights in the Lot Order, right up there with The Fighting Knight!" Iskah retorted. "Now draw your bardiche and face me!"

"[color=lightyellow]I'll see you around, Madam Dark Mage.[/color]" Aun bid farewell to Vanessa before quickly hopping off the wagon and jogging off. "[color=lightyellow]Help, help! A Lizardman's harassing me![/color]" His calls for help were insincere and the town guards who arrived to see the commotion simply shook their heads and resumed their patrols.

Iskah immediately went after him. "Hey, hey! Come back here! You're not escaping me again!"
