Von watched as two more people volenteered to help the phantoms. He looked both up and down. And elf... and a man that was in garb fit for a theif. So now there were five willing to face the ghosts. The bard waited to see if anyone else would step forward...

Celina continued to look around the room, wondering if any more would volunteer. "Will there be no one else?" she asked quietly, seeing the fear on some of the faces of the townspeople.

Celina turned as the figure in the shadows spoke for the first time. Just from the sound of his voice, she knew that it was Shade and although she could not see his face that was shrouded by his hood, she could sense his cold eyes fall upon her for a brief moment before he turned to glance at the others. Part of her was surprised that he had volunteered, for he never seemed to like the company of others. Nevertheless, for whatever reason he chose to volunteer, she was glad to have one more to their number. Celina then turned her attention back to the mayor, awaiting further instructions.

((Oh, yeah, forgot about the mayor... ))

The mayor glanced over all the volunteers. His eyes rested for a moment on the Shade, he shiverd slightly. "Thank you all for volunteering. I will leave it to you to figure out when you should leave. I think that, at latest, you should leave tomorrow. I wish you luck with finding the phantoms, and also with helping them. This meeting is dismissed, and may the sun shine upon all your lives." he bowed slightly, walked off the stage, and headed towards his home. He stopped when a man from the town walked up to him.
"I think that was a very good thing of you, Mayor. The phantoms need help, and we might be the ones they need it from." he nodded a quick farewell, then walked away.
The mayor looked after him, "Well, I never..." he shook his head, and kept continueing home.

A man slipped out of the shadows, volunteering to join this quest. A cloak encased the man and a hood over his head cast darkness around his face. Cautiously the man glaned at every one of the volunteers. Seeing the man's cold, unfriendly stare, Teran smiled broadly and gave him a small wave. Of course he was being sarcastic with that grin. Of course he had probably already made enimies with the man without even saying a word. But if there was one thing he couldn't stand, it was a moody, dark person with zero personal skills and a bleak outlook on life. "Oh, I shouldn't judge people before I get to know them."He whispered to himself. "If I somehow end up actually liking the guy, I'm going to feel like such a fool."

Celina watched as the mayor left and the group began to disperse. She saw a few give her questioningly looks and she sighed heavily to herself. She knew that they would probably never trust her-no matter what she did, and quickly put them from her mind as she made her way to where some of the volunteers were.

Trin shrugged and sat down next to her. She had never been good at the whole comfort thing. She was warrior right through to her heart. The river ran past, the only thing breaking the silents for several minutes. "Where do you think the others got off to," she asked, refering to the other phantoms.

After the meeting, Von strode over to the group of volenteers. In his mind he had an opinion of each of them already, but he wanted to know more about them before he judged.

Vondell made a curt bow, before introducing himself.
"I am bardmaster Vondell of the Corell barding clan," he said, his voice as smooth as always. He had a smile of greeting on his lips...

Celina turned as the bard introduced himself, liking the smooth nature of his voice. "A pleasure, Vondell." Celina replied as she gave him a small smile and inclined her head slightly in greeting. "I'm Celina, a light mage of Ashtown." she said simply, addressing herself to him and the rest of the group, deciding it best to be up front with them now, in case they had reservations (like most of the townfolk) of being in the company of one such as she.

((There's only one other phantom))

Las shrugged, "I have no idea." She looked up as Starfire walked up to her. They had an amazing bond. He always knew what she was thinking or how she felt. She rubbed his soft nose. "I guess we should go look for them."

Locien dwelled in the graveyard. Kind of ironic, really, for a phantom to be in a graveyard. He stood infront of one certain tombstone. On the front was written "RIP Roina. Beloved friend and daughter". She had been so young when she died, yet had not joined Locien to this ever wandering. He had been in the room when she passed, but no one had known he was there. And how he had wept for the death of his daughter. But at least she had moved on, unlike himself.

If only he could find the reason he couldn't move on and join his daughter. Why did everything have to go so wrong. Chess, his horse, stood beside him, head down respectuffly at the grave. To many ifs of the past, he needed to look to the futur. Wasn't there a meeting today of the living to help them? Locien didn't care. He just wanted to go on to the next life...
