It was the start... of something entirely new.

The wagon bumped and rattled along the trade road leading from Selevea, the towering trade city gradually becoming more and more distant with each passing minute. From the back a pair of green eyes watched, drinking in the scene... eyes filled with an odd mix of emotions. Fear, uncertainty, anticipation, excitement, hope... and loss. Dressed in the more travel-worthy outfit that he and November had picked out earlier that day the prodigal d'Metreon would have seemed just like anyone else on the road, just another traveler, merchant, or reckless adventurer in search of future and fortune. The truth, of course, was a fair bit stranger.

He felt something large and furry rub up against him and turned to see Archibald pining for attention. It was yet one more new thing for Theron, being around an affectionate dog like this; he fussed the friendly fur ball a bit, then carefully turned around and, wary of the unstable footing of a moving wagon, made his way over to the young woman who'd agreed to let him travel with her.

"So, where do we go from here?"

OOC: Hey, sorry for randomly jumping in without contacting you first - Just thought you'd been waiting for a reply for a little while so I'd join. Hope you don't mind!


The world was alive; A gentle breeze danced with wayward leaves to the serene song of the birds, the grassy plains, which stretched far beyond what the eye could see, played host to many small wildlife critters. A well trodden road carved its way through the middle of the fields, leading travellers and merchants alike to and from Selevea. It was on this road Zealt found himself, heading away from the city wall notorious for harbouring thieves, smugglers and all manner of seedy individuals.

"Ah!" The lithe, young Serenian exclaimed rumbustiously. "It's good to finally be rid of that place!" Even as his lips formed the words an almost triumphant smirk grew hastily across his visage. He had ended up in Selevea through unfortunate circumstances; something to do with a brothel and a number of uninvited appearances leading to a costly debt. His fingers were curled gently around a worn leather pouch, drumming at its contents every so often with a random digit. "There has never been a better day to be me!" He announced to the world all the while grinning like a loon to himself. The familiar rumble of a Caravan drew him out of his fantasies, causing him to cast an intrigued eye over his shoulder. As the wagon drew closer to the morbidly dressed Zealt, He gave a rather friendly cry. "Hello in there!" He gave a slight wave of his left hand, the armour which covered his arm wholly rattled and clattered noisily before he settled the extremity down on the handle of the blade that hung loosely at his side, his hand draped nonchalantly over its end. "Where are you headed?"
