Thread: The Journey (EvaRose & Rage)

Beast? Jyade blinked a few times as she looked up at Haine, actually looking confused. There was a smile playing at her lips though, a smart remark already having formed in her head. You mean the one before me? It turns out that I must since the king ordered me to do so. The stupid thing can't stop opening its mouth and uttering unintelligent words. Isn't that right Hunin? The little gryphon looked up at her sleepily and chirped softly. Since he just ate, the gryphon was getting ready to fall asleep in her arms. She held it closely to her, letting it feel the comfort that its mother was supposed to be giving it. The only reason she had it was because she found the thing starving in its nest, motherless and helpless. And of course I don't have a steed, you stupid human! She snapped, finally letting out all her frustrations. She couldn't stand this stupid man who dared to judge her just by looking at her. If you know nothing of elves then do not talk about them. I require no steed as you weak humans do, I can run just as fast and even longer than a horse, without leaving a single track. She glared at the knight then turned away, walking a little ways away from him. She meant to put some of the coins away earlier, as she sometimes hid things in her boots. Small bags of gold wasn't the only thing she hid on her person, of course. Licking her lips, the woman moved a little ways from the caravan and towards the forest, looking around as she stepped lightly. The boots were heavy, yet she still didn't make a sound with a single step. She hated noise, and so she tried her best not to make any. Once something caught her eye she bent down, laying Hunin on the ground along with the bag. She stepped to a tree, reaching up to taking a quiver full of arrows and a bow from one of the branches. Like all of her things, they were constructed of ebony, made by some of the creatures these humans scorned. Fairies, they could be a pain sometime, but their craftsmanship, in her opinion, was unmatched. Strapping the bow and quiver around her back, the woman started to think about where they were going. They said that once one enters that place they can never really escape it. But she did, and maybe she could again with the little princess in tow, and the knight conveniently taken care of. She walked back to the gryphon, looking down at the creature for a moment before sitting down on the ground beside it. She made quick work of it, taking off her boots then taking a few empty bags from inside. She poured some of the coin into different bags, four in all, dividing it out evenly before stuffing the larger, now empty, bag into the boots. With as much gold as she had, she was starting to regret not purchasing a new pair of boots. She sat up slightly, tying the strings around the backs onto her quiver before standing up. It's too much coin, she muttered under her breath as she picked up Hunin. Never did she think she would utter those words. But, now, she was starting to regret taking so much gold before she was done with the job. How much could she possibly spend? Unless, that is, the soft knight couldn't stand a week without sleeping in a bed. The thought made her smile a bit as she strolled back to the caravan, sure that Haine made sure everyone else was prepared by now. He was the amazing knight after all.
