AONÉ INALOR



It wasn't long before the small party began their travels, Aoné much more at ease now that they had begun. She wasn't particularly in a hurry, not that what they were doing wasn't important and time was certainly of the essence, but she hadn't been blessed with the greatest patience nor the ability to stand by and do nothing whilst pursuing a goal. Both of which had estranged her from her family many years ago, and now she could sense those unwanted feelings creeping up on her again as she stood among this group of strangers. She hadn't said much in their short time together as they introduced themselves, save for the moments she had to, but she honestly preferred it that way. Knowing herself, the elf knew with the way the conversation had been going, she would've just caused trouble; however, it would've been funny had she.

Now that the other half-elf, Imalessa, had received a new bow, an honest mistake of coming here without it, they had no more reasons holding them back. Aoné wasn't certain about how she felt toward the huntress, she respected her loyalty to the forest however vocal she was about it, and she didn't seem like someone who'd get in her way lest their tempers clash, other than that, she seemed like someone she could hang around given the time. The term "friends" would be taking it a step too far though.

When it came to the other members of the party, Aoné could say she felt indifferent toward them. Not in any negative way, she just needed more time, although she did especially enjoy Gentle who managed to intrigue her the most, purely by the irony of his name. As far as she knew, minotaurs were an angry race; temperamental and ferocious. But judging by the one beside her, she'd have to look into it more. Perhaps she was wrong.

As for Brynan...she was something else. Probably would've been fine taking on the task herself if a group wasn't required. Not that Aoné disagreed, just that she would have to keep an eye on her. To make sure she didn't do anything reckless to get the rest of them hurt.


Luckily for her, horseback riding had been something she was taught from a young age, along with traveling for long periods of time, Aoné's trip to "Mudshit" or wherever was made a lot easier. Along with the essentials, she had managed to grab some medicines and herbs, as well as her journaling book, that was stashed away in a small satchel she carried on her horse. The rain had never ceased as they journeyed, only making her more irritable as her attempts to keep herself dry proved futile. And though light was fading pretty quickly, her darkvision proved useful as she was still able to see.

Not too soon after, just as the rain had come to a light drizzle, the caravan in front of her slid to a stop in the mud. Both horses had sensed something and were now freaking out, Aoné struggled to take back control. At first the noise came. And then the putrid smell. Looking to the source, still steadily to maintain her grip on the reins she already knew what enemy lay ahead.

"Trolls! Ready yourselves!"

Damned fucking trolls.

Hopping down and grabbing her satchel, she quickly moved to the rear of the group. Knowing she wouldn't be of any use up front, she prepared for any possible injuries they would suffer.
Ooo, definitely interested
Ooo, sounds interesting. Im down


AONÉ INALOR



"Wow, we certainly have a vulgar group," the elf said, a light smirk on her lips as she curiously listened to the banter that played out among her new comrades. She was tempted to speak up, but she couldn't find a good reason to as of yet, so instead she held her tongue and stood near the edge of the near-empty room, watching the argument play out. She silently applauded Gentle and Stur for stepping in, but you wouldn't find her doing the same. Not wanting to go toe-to-toe with the fighter (had an argument started, she knew she wouldn't have been able to stop), and ending up dead.

Her eyes traveling from the confident half-elf to Nathaniel, Aoné couldn't say she exactly trusted him, especially in being their guide, but he seemed to know a lot more about this fog than anyone else. She admired Brynan's antics, but in terms of logic, it was obvious Nathaniel was the best pick for leadership right now, though she fought an urge to declare herself leader instead. And even though she didn't trust him right away, then again, this was Koprust after all. It's not like she could trust anyone. She'd have to keep her distance.

After listening to the wizard's smooth recovery one might agree, Aoné moved forward to answer. "Oh, it isn't obvious? I'm a barbarian. Clearly." She stated with sarcasm, placing a hand under her chin. "I have the strength of the gods and could defeat death itself in a fist fight," a slight smile danced across her lips, pausing for dramatic effect. "Ah! It seems I've forgotten to introduce myself- Aoné Inalor; sorceress. I deal with arcane magic, mostly medical care and whatnot, though I do know some offensive and defensive spells."


AONÉ INALOR



Mingling somewhere among the middle of the crowd, Aoné listened closely to the words of King, her head propped up on her hands. She hadn't expected herself to be here, much less have stayed when the majority of the room cleared out at the mention of the amount of danger the fog held; however, this fog had a mysteriousness that she couldn't ignore. She didn't yet know how she felt about the reward for there wasn't anything she needed at the moment, but she was sure she'd come up with something. As of now, learning as much as she could was her top priority.

Glancing around the room at the faces left standing, Aoné raised an amused eyebrow as they introduced themselves. Certainly a diverse cast they were. And certainly unexpected. She supposed that's because all the truly rational folk left while they could, though she wouldn't call herself irrational per se. Just intrigued. The tiefling, Zosimos, and minotaur, Gentle, were the ones that truly caught her eye, and although a bit intimidated, her eyes and thoughts lingered on them just a tad longer.

Her eyes moved back to the King as a silence fell, signaling her turn to speak. Standing up slowly and raising her chin, her hands folded in front of her, Aoné began her introduction, trying to maintain elegance the best she could.

"Your Majesties," she gave a small bow with her head. "I may not be one to meddle in the affairs of royalty, but I feel great sorrow and pain for the disappearance of your son, the Prince. And as not to waste any time, I'll finish by saying this: I will do as much as I possibly can to help find your son, and to find a cure to this terrible fog. My highest prayers to the safety of your son and the three of you the best of health for years to come."

With a more dignified bow, Aoné turned and followed her newfound group, letting out the smallest of sighs. She hadn't been that formal since her last interaction with her family, but she didn't let her uncomfort show. Shoulders back, and head raised, she mentally prepared herself for the hard times to come.
