I wouldn't go ahead and assume what the end looks like. Nothing is certain other than the present.
You never know. Diplomacy is a fickle thing.
Well, a deal implies an agreement with mutual benefits. I didn't see much of a benefit from the "deal". So, yes. I am quite glad.

We've all individually talked with Jiwon (unsuccessfully), but Maxwell hasn't been around to talk to.


I mean... it was more like just you and Boerd trying to convince me to agree with your offer to give up Goto and Hirado. I haven't been able to talk to thor.
Faith looked at the device that Vordan left in front of her. Although she wasn't very familiar with the device, it seemed fairly simple. Just put the bolts into the holes. Faith slowly grabbed a bolt with one hand, and then reached for the device. The second she touched the device, a tiny blinding light was emitted from the place where Faith touched the device, and then her hand was forcefully blown back by a sudden burst of energy. Faith was completely dumbfounded by what just happened, and didn't really understand what had just happened. She stuttered "I c-can't do it." to Vordan as she looked up. To her horror, an arrow had hit him. She then simply went deeper into the wagon, and hid under the relative safety of the covered wagon. Faith somewhat understood why Caelis told her to hide in here. The walls would protect her from the stray arrows, but the tarp that covered the wagon also helped hide her... In this chaos, not a lot of people would notice the small girl sneaking off into the wagon. But, once again, she found herself disappointed that she couldn't help.
Caelis looked around at the remains of this fight. The soil was damp with blood and it gave off a dirty, muddy hue. The lumps of formerly living people were immobile and painted with the red of their life essence. The eerie silence of survivors was deafening. Such was the aftermath of a conflict. Caelis was used to it, but at the same time. No one could really get used to it. All that one could do was move on. Thus, Caelis tore his eyes from the scene and began to walk back to Faith. However, as his adrenaline went away, he was given an unpleasant reminder as he was seized by pain from the arrow. Caelis reach around his back to feel the wound. It was in pretty deep, but Caelis didn't think that it had hit anything important. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to walk right now. The problem was that Caelis didn't want Faith to see him hurt, and having an arrow sticking out of him wasn't the best way to convince her. So, despite the fact that it would be smart to leave the arrow in for now so that it would allow the wound to clot, Caelis grabbed the shaft of the arrow and with one hand and pulled.

Blood came gushing out from the wound, and Caelis quickly discarded the arrow. He reached over to one of the dead bandits and ripped off a long portion of his shirt. Caelis tightly tied the cloth around his wound in an attempt to put pressure on his wound so that he wouldn't be bleeding as much. Then he covered the makeshift compress with his clothes. Now it wasn't as obvious that he was hurt. Caelis did his best to clean himself up to remove the blood that stained him. Then he went back to Faith. Caelis peeped into the wagon and could feel how she was distraught. Caelis said "What's wrong? You know that I won't be leaving you any time soon." In response, Caelis was met with the most heart wrenching silence. Caelis climbed into the wagon and held Faith, who began to cry.
The short trip to the spring was relatively silent and Caelis and Faith just sat next to each other without saying a word. When they arrived, Caelis started a small fire by the water, and they just sat next to each other without a word. It was silent until Aaerynn arrived and asked if anyone needed medical attention. Caelis replied "No, everyone is fine. I only ripped my clothes a little. He then took a quick look in his bag by reaching in there. He then turned to Faith and said "Faith, could you go around and see if you can find some spider webs? Don't go too far, but if you could find some, then I could stitch the rips together." Faith nodded and simply got up to search around the area for anything that could be used as a replacement for thread. Caelis then turned back to Aaerynn and said "Don't tell her." as he took off his shirt.

The makeshift compress was soaked in blood. He should have treated it immediately, but he didn't want to worry Faith any more. So, he let the wound go on untreated. He already felt a bit light-headed from the bloodloss, but he had to do something about the wound. He first reached into his backpack and pulled out a small pot and another small bag. He filled the pot with some of the spring water and put it on the fire. He then opened the small bag and in it was some salt, which he poured a good portion of into the pot. Caelis then untied the cloth and felt around the injury. It was still bleeding a little, but it did clot partially. He took his water canteen and poured some of the water on the wound to clean it. Then once the pot was adequately heated. Caelis took the pot off the fire. He then looked at Aaerynn and said "Would you mind pouring some of this on my wound? It isn't exactly a healer's most ideal method, but with what I've got on hand. I suppose some warm salt water will have to do."
I prefer to call my expenditures... "investments".
Ahh, wow. I can't believe I missed that. My bad.
I got my post up.
Caelis' blood was boiling the second that the blond bandit looked at Faith. He already had his hand on his sword, hidden in his robe, and there was very little patience in letting his blade sing. However, the best way to win a battle was to avoid it in the first place, especially against an enemy that had them out numbered and in the middle of an ambush. So, he refrained himself. Then, the brash twin took action when one of the bandits grabbed his sister, although Caelis didn't blame him. There were moments in the past where Caelis did the exact same when Faith was in danger, but the difference was that Caelis took decisive action during that time with his sword. Thus, Caelis approved of Setna's devotion to his sister, but he couldn't say the same of the... "fight" that he started with his shield.

Caelis turned to old dwarf who had picked up what Caelis believed to be his large weapon. "The anger of a dwarf is not to be trifled with." Caelis thought as he remembered some of the master dwarven warriors that he had seen spar when he was younger. One particular dwarf had taken on a group of ten men by himself. It wasn't a fluid fight, but the dwarf had simply fought with sheer, consistent force that no man could handle. Thus, Caelis somewhat believed that the old dwarf could deal with the seven in front. That was until the self proclaimed prince cut the speaker in half.

It was a bit of a shock to most of the people present, but that was exactly what Caelis needed. Caelis yelled "Get inside the wagon, take cover!" as he drew his sword and turned the smooth action of his draw into a cut while Faith listened and headed towards the nearby wagon. A large gash formed on the torso of the nearest bandit who was distracted. That was when the fight actually began as everyone came to their senses. The bandit next to the heavily wounded bandit took a wide, horizontal swing at Caelis with something that looked like a small ax. Caelis calmly took a step back to dodge the ax and at the same time brought down his sword. Caelis simply let his curved blade sing. It sliced through the air and down the overextended arm of the bandit, taking it cleanly off. The bandit was obviously stunned and not sure of what had just happened as he simply looked at his arm that fell on to the ground with a thud. Caelis felt vitalized by the sound of his sword cutting through the air. It had been too long since his sword had sung.

Caelis had, in effect, dispatched two bandits with two, quick swings of his sword. However, he wasn't out of danger yet. Caelis walked towards the now one-armed man with his eyes closed. He clicked his tongue once, and to his relief there was no one else that close to him. Caelis grabbed the bandit, but then he heard the sound of a bow string being released. He ducked slightly and pulled the bandit closer to him, using the bandit as cover. A second later the bandit convulsed as an arrow entered his back. Caelis muttered "I guess they don't care if they kill each other." as he dropped the slowly dying bandit onto the ground. Caelis was confident that everyone could handle themselves, except for the twins especially when the girl was being held captive. So, Caelis began to quickly run with his sword and began charging at the giant man. Caelis prayed that he would be able to sneak up on the man or at least be able to buy time and distract him enough for Setna to finish the deal. However, as Caelis ran, one of the arrows found its mark. An arrow hit Caelis on the area on top of the right side of his hip. Regardless, it wasn't enough to stop him as he continued to run despite the pain. Caelis continued his charge towards the giant man that the twins had to deal with.
Faith hid in the wagon like Caelis told her, but once again. She found herself wanting to help Caelis. All she was doing was hiding in the wagon while listening to the sounds of steel clashing and the guttural screams of agony. There was so much discord that Faith couldn't find anything comforting about the sounds that surrounded her. However, she wasn't that scared. Rather, she was worried about Caelis, who had always took upon the burden of the world by himself. She wanted to help. Faith, began to peek out of the wagon when a loud thud came from the side of the wagon as an arrow burrowed itself in the wood. Faith was startled as she flinched. The reality began to settle on her. Even if she did go out... what could she do? She would only be another burden to Caelis. Thus, with her heart and brain in conflict with each other, Faith's vision began to become blurry as her eyes became moist. Faith closed her eyes, clenched her hands together, and began to pray.
Hi there.
