    "Most likely because he can't do anything about it." Alre explained with a shrug. "This place is near impossible to lay siege to. Supplies are great, the walls are thick, and the only way in is through that gate." That wasn't entirely true. There were a few secret paths tucked away in the...

    "At least it hasn't been torched." Alre said with a slight grumble, frowning for a moment as he reached up and scratched at his chin. He hadn't bothered to dismount, already recognizing the signs of an abandoned building before Averey swept forward. He supposed it had been the smart thing to do...

    He glanced around for a moment. Things were quiet, extremely quiet. "Maybe not here." Alre admitted quietly as he watched the building in the distance. An unease settled into his stomach, though why or what for he could not have said that moment. His gaze flickered for a few seconds, before...

    "Trolls don't live under bridges!" Sometimes he wondered what kind of stories they actually told in Alliria. It seemed it was mostly children's fairytales and wonders. His head shook for a moment, and then he quickly kicked his horse to follow after Averey. Within seconds he was on her tail...

    "Aye." Alre said as he scooped up the rest of the things they had stashed away, quickly bundling their things before he pulled on his pack. Unconsciously his fingers stroked over the medallion that rested against his chest, caressing the ancient coin for a moment before he pulled his hand...

    He shrugged his shoulders. Alre had seen what Averey's magic could do, but even she wasn't impervious to an arrow through the heart. In truth though he was more worried about what happened after her magic was expended. She was a lump weight after that, and if she didn't manage to take them all...

    Alre's eyes were still closed, but as Averey began to move about and speak to him he simply nodded his head. "Can do." His own exhaustion wasn't tied to the passing of the sun of course, so if he had to adjust a bit then he would. It seemed strange to him, but then again he was not the one...

    Alre had never been a heavy sleeper. Even before his troubles there had always been something that woke him in the middle of the night. The Alcohol had helped with that, it had pretty much been the only way for him to find rest while sleeping in the streets. When Averey moved he stirred, but...

    When Alre went to sleep he ensured there was at least a full camp. A fire would flicker in the middle of their little clearing, the horses would be squared away, and even a few traps would be set around where they slept. He doubted that anyone would find them, wake them, but the paranoia of...

    Alre slipped down from the horse first. He was used to this sort of thing. Though they were not mercenary kings, had not been for some time, his father had always made sure that his son would still be a warrior. Alre had spent weeks and months on campaign, fighting, doing what he could. Even...

    Alre stuck out a hand to catch Averey as she fell, his hand landing on her shoulder as he pulled his horse slightly closer to her. "Steady." He whispered quietly. Traveling this far this fast was tiresome, he knew that, and for Averey it must have been doubly difficult in a way. He did not...

    The Young prince shrugged. "It's in my nature." A depressing truth most would not have wanted to admit to. He glanced back over his shoulder to make sure that the soldiers actually moved along. When he was confident that they were gone his shoulders relaxed a bit, hands falling back to his...

    "So your King seeks to drive away all commerce then?" Alre jabbed with a smile. These guards were little more than thugs, but the Captain at least had a flicker of recognition as he said the words. A frown pulled on his lips as he looked at Alre, his mouth opening up in a question before he...

    Toll? There had never been a toll. The roads were maintained and paid for by the taxes taken from the estates. A duty that those of wealth paid in order to see to the fitfulness of their kingdom. Alre opened his mouth to point that out, but his jaw almost immediately snapped shut as he...

    Alre scoffed. "Templars?" Head shook. "Not in this kingdom. My Great Grandfather drove all of them out during the Templar Wars." It was a conflict that had nearly brought many nations to their knees, or at least close to it. A finger passed over his lips, though he silenced himself as she...
