Orphina rode through the strange town, the locals staring at her as if she were the strange one. What is wrong with these people she thought.
She dismounted and went over to one of the stands, the owner of the stand glared at her with cold eyes
"Get out of here. You don't belong." The stand owner told her, this angered her slightly.
"Who are you to say I don't belong?" She asked the stand owner angrily
"I am one of the elders of this town. We don't like strangers coming through here. It upsets the balance of the town."The man replied, matter of factly.

Orphina strode back to where she'd let Murdoc, mounted and rode off. Hmph, upset the balance of the town. What a load of babble

OOC. Could Aviva and Orphina be related somehow??

Orphina rode with her shoulders slumped, Murdoc matched with his head lowered towards the ground. If the people here don't accept strangers, where can I go that will? She thought to herself. She glanced up as she heard a man ranting and raving. Seems it's not just me she smiled to herself, leaned forward and whispered to her horse. Orphina laughed as Murdoc went from walk to canter in seconds adn they were racing away.

OOC. A distant cousin perhaps? Oh and seeing as way seem to be in an order, we'll keep it that way. Me - Silverwolf Strider - RiderEriel. All agreed?

Orphina and Murdoc cantered until they came to a forest, and Orphina dismounted and started to untack Murdoc.
"We'll stay here for the night, then try and find somewhere else to go in the morning." she told the horse. Orphina placed the saddle carefully on a log then went and gathered some wood, to make a fire. Once the firewood was in place, she looked for some flint.
"This would be so much easier if I had magic" she mused aloud.

Orphina having finally found two pieces of flint, repeatedly struvk them together until she got a spark to light the wood. Orphina watched the fire until the wood she'd set for it was mostly alit, before she even thought about moving to do anything else in case it went out.
"Come in closer Murdoc. I have a feeling it will get pretty chilly before long" she said to the horse, who immediately came closer to the fire, but stayed at a safe distance.

OOC: Neither do I... But we'll see where this takes us. And don't forget the OOC's!

IC: Eriel smiled. "You're not too bad yourself" She laughed. "Now follow close, this will be rough..." She said then added. "They work in the same way the elvish horses do but you can use the human's way to make it seem less suspicious." Eriel said then nudged the steed gently, causing it to speed up to a canter, making a bee-line for the gates.

Eriel looked back to ensure Alvina was keeping up then raised her palm and shot out a green jet of water at the gates. When they were in the mechanism the froze and broke them, immobilizing the gates indefinitely.
Eriel frowned and bent low and whispered something into both horses' ears with magic which caused them to disregard every danger and charge at the gates.

Orphina laid out her bedroll, placed an extra blanket on top, then took out another blanket and gently placed it on Murdoc's back.
"That will help keep you warm." she told the horse, who snorted softly in reply. Orphina went over to where she'd set up her bedroll, and got into it, then laid back and looked up at the sky.

OOC Oops ... I think I've been doing that lol

Aviva noted what Eriel was saying and did the same to her steed. She then felt Brujole's presence and he asked, What would you be doing?
Escaping, Aviva told him, though not confidently.
I am heading towards you now anyway. Brujole growled. Where you go, I will find you.
Aviva said aloud to Eriel, "Lead and I will follow, if you wish. This mob will not wrap up their anger forever ..."

Orphina stood up and went over to Murdoc, gave him a stroke, and decided to go for a walk on foot.
"You stay here and look after the camp Murdoc. I won't be gone long." she turned and started to walk back the way she'd come. It didn't take long for Orphina to find the track(road) and and she walked along it for a while. In the distance she saw what looked to be fire-mounts with riders, but how can that be. Surely there is no such thing? She thought and headed towards them.

As Orphina got closer to the two women she saw a third person come close to them. I wonder who that is? She thought to herself and slowed her walk, not wanting to make her presence known too soon.

Orphina watched all of what was going on, with interest. Her eyebrows shot up, when Eriel confidently pushed the male's arm away from her neck, then turned to face him. I wonder what that is all about, she thought, as she walked a bit closer, to begin with keeping in the shadows.

When Orphina got about 10 feet away, she felt confident enough to show herself, so she boldly stepped out of the shadows.
"Hi there. Might I inquire as to whether you need any help?" Orphina asked the females, not knowing if the male had anything to do with the women.

Orphina frowned as she watched the mates, wondering what Murdoc would have made of the scene.
"Hmm, so I see." She replied to Aviva, then held out her hand.
"My name is Orphina, my horse, who I left at our camp, is Murdoc." Her subconscious wouldn't let her mind rest about Keralin, and she kept glancing at him uneasily.

Orphina jumped back at the sight of the dragon, slightly surprised.
"I knew Dragon were big, but I didn't think they were that big."
Orphina looked at the dragon curiously, as well as analytically. She couldn't outwardly see any sign of whether it was male or female.

OOC Short.

OOC: Silver you're up

OOC: Hey Silver, your turn
