Gywn slipped out of the stall and checked to make sure her quiver and bow were secure on her back. As she walked down the aisle, she noticed another elf. The elf was unfamilliar so she lifted her hood to conceal her identity. She walked inside the tavern and sat in a corner. Many of the guests were arguing over the empire's control.

"It's only a temporary thing," argued one.
"Temporary?" said another man angrily. "The empire is going to damage this kingdom forever. Entire farming villages are being wiped out by darklings. It's ruining the economy."
"Those who are disloyal deserve it," snorted the first.
"Disloyal? How are we disloyal? We are feeding the darn emperor. If anyone is being disloyal it's him. He is supposed to run the country, not destroy it."

Arman saw the lodge filling up and he drank the last of his drink, he was bothered with all of these people and took his staff in his hand. He walked across the floor into towards the door with his head down covering his face like it wouldn`t already be that, but accidentally tripped on a chair and fell to the floor.

To his great annoyance his hood fell off as he turned on his back and his bandage on his hands loosened enough to show his greenish flesh not to mention some of his finger bones. He got up looking at the people around him whom couldn`y have missed his tripping, he took his staff at hand with certain pride waiting for their reaction.

Gywn looked at the one who tripped curiously as she saw his flesh. A lich. Or at least part lich. She gave a small grin towards him then turned back towards the arguement. They're fools, she thought bitterly.

Alright...The dragon answered with the tone of a human who has just been beaten using logic. Rhan shook her head slightly, and curled her legs under her, aware of the winks and looks she was getting from most the males in the tavern.

Once inside the tavern, Mirweyn glanced around at those gathered for a moment, then went to a table in a dark corner and sat down, and lowered her hood after a moment, though her face was half hidden in shadow.

At the sight of the lich, Menyar restrained himself from leaping up in astonishment. The population was growing diverse indeed. The Emperor would not be pleased. He forced himself to calm down and sipped his wine. What was a lich doing here in the Empire? Knowing the Emperor, he would want his assassin to track it.

Menyar looked at the rebels sitting at the table, talking angrily of the Emperor's faults. It was offhand banter, nothing conspicuous. The entire kingdom was up like this. He averted his eyes, keeping the lich in his peripheral vision.

It was time to do what he did best.

Arman looked around in fustration as one of the customers looked at him.

"Hey what the hell is wrong with your skin?! Is it a disease?"

A drunk man said and Arman hmped ironicly.

"Yes, it is a disease you genius!"

Before anyone could do anything Arman stormed out of the inn and disappeared into the forest, he walked past many tree`s only re assembling his hood and as he put the last bandage on his right he stopped as he was looking at a silver dragon.

"This isn`t my day..."

Arman said with a tired and tormented voice.

Iruna came out of Shadow and she began to weave through teh crowd calmly, stealing from the pockets of those who were sympathizers of the Emperor.(sp?)

Cayo stared at the 'person' and belched at him, a human skull dropped to the floor. He sent Rhan an image of it saying Told you I was hungry...
Thats repulsive!
Its in my nature, shall I kill him as well? he sent her an image of the man
Gods! The elf stood up abbruptly, pushing past the men with an angry scowl. She hurried up to them quickly.
Cayo cocked his head at him , and stared.

"Well there is nothing we can do about it," screamed a man.
"Yes, there is. We can be a part of the rebels."

Gwyn stood up and pushed the man onto the table. A knife was produced from her sleeve and she put it at the man's throat. Leaning down, she put her mouth next to his ear. "You idiot. You can't just go around speaking of rebellion. In case you haven't noticed various people from all sorts of places are present. You are not among friends. The empire nor the rebellion welcomes you." She got up and placed the dagger into its proper place. She may have just saved a life and a worthless one at that but she didn't need more destruction because of some dungbrained peasant.

Arman had once faced death into the eye, but was`t ready to go along to the trip so he had nothing to fear in that case and he stared back with his green eyes that had a small glow about them. Arman stood straight with his staff in his right hand against the ground.

"You know..."

Arman looked at the human skull.

"I would be a very bad meal since my flesh is quite rotten and secondly I am a dangerous being like you dragon so don`t even dare trying to touch me..."

Arman said with a cautious voice as he took his staff into both of his hands.

"You give it a rest Cay!" Rhan cried arriving at the scene, and sending a black deer running through the forest with her magic "Go and eat that instead of humans!" Cay shook his head, but rambeled off after it anyway. "I'm most sorry sir." the elf said turning to the man.

Arman looked at the newcomer, whom seemed to know the dragon, which only lead into one conclusion.

"Thank you, not even the dragons have any manners these days... but you are a rider aren`t you since you seem to know him?"

Ya done yet? Starflame asked, breaking into Mirweyn's thoughts.
No, I'm not.. she thought back tersely.
I'm getting bored. the thought came back, and Mirweyn groaned softly.
Well, go hunting or flying or something..but don't be seen..

"And you were in the lodge just few moments ago?"

Arman continued his thoughts.
