After watching what went on when he came in with Matis, he walked by the pile of weapons and said "I don't need another, I've got enough swords." he then walked over to Matthias. "So what's the toast to me about?"

Ryan had never been able to handle his alchol well, after a few drinks he was always a little tipsy, tonight however it seemed he couldn't get drunk. With all his plans of letting loose thrown out the window Ryan said his goodbyes and went to his bedroom.

Alan suddenly sat upwhen Kenshin spoke. 'Oh, look at the time. I'm gonna see if can't get catch some shut-eye before sunrise!' Alan hastily left the room.

Suddenly left alone with Kenshin, Matthias felt more than a little uneasy. "Well, would you look at the time... probably should head ta bed," he quaffed the juice in a hurry, rising quickly to his feet. Eying the food, he decided having a few snacks before bed wouldn't hurt, nor would having a little more juice. Thus loaded, he headed for his room.

The Next Morning...
Always an early riser, Alexia was moving before the sun fully rose. Taking her time, she suited up in her armor and double checked her growing stash of weapons. "I'm traveling with Matthias, Lumino, and... the fighter," she muttered, mentally kicking herself for forgetting the fighter's name. She knew Matthias would sleep in as long as possible, and would no doubt need to be woken up. Yet she didn't know the habits of the other members of her traveling group. She hurried to the kitchen, grabbed a few things to eat, and debated which member of the party to rouse first. As decisions warred in her mind, her eyes beheld the glory of a rising Nabatan sun. Smiling to herself, she took the few quiet moments to enjoy the fruit. "There are definitely benefits to being an early riser," she muttered. "Thank Marcus for intense morning training." She sighed. "Though, he'd probably yell at me if he found out I wasn't doing two hundred lance thrusts before breakfast," she admitted grinning. She could wait a little while longer, to see if anyone roused themselves.
OoC: I think the only characters that hadn't gone to their rooms were Kenshin and Zeiss. Sorry to cut you off, but I really want to move the story along ,and the rest of us are ready. I know you were both close.

Sergey walked out of his bedroom. He grumply bid the cavalier goodmorning as he sat down to start on his breakfast.

Alan was outside feeding his Wyvern. 'You know, I still don't have the foggiest what too call you. I've been thinking about it all night.' The Wyvern looked at him intently but nothing came to him. He groaned, he knew he'd more then likely never get Grimbold back but this was bad knighthood. 'Ah well, I'll think of something sooner or later.'

Sleepily Lumino pulled himself out of the comfortable bed. He took a brief glance out the window and did a bit of a double take.
Sand? Where in the world?
Sudennly he started to remember just what had happened the day before. Ostia, and the war, and Roland, and the legend Athos...it all felt like a dream. But here he was, so maybe it was true. Not putting any more thought on it, Lumino quietly walked down the stairs, almost colliding into Sergey.
"..Sorry." He mumbled half tripping past the rough looking fighter. He stepped outside to see if he could wake up a little bit first. And get his thoughts into order.

Ralph rubbed his eyes as he walked back to the table where the mounds of food were. He looked at the food through half-closed eyes. "I think I'll pass." He tried to remember who he was going with, but it had slipped his mind.
OoC: Meaning I've forgotten.

Alexia stared as the fighter put down food. She was a little surprised he was even up at this hour, and was more surprised at the amount of food he ate. Rising from her seat, she grabbed some fruit and headed outside. As soon as she stepped out, she noticed Lumino waiting. She held out the fruit for him. "We're just waiting for Matthias to get up now," she told him. "Which means we probably won't be leaving for several hours." She chuckled at her own joke. "Are you sure you're okay with this?" she asked, looking over at the young mage. "Most of us are older than you... I'd hate for you to do something you'd regret."

Matthias dreamed....
His eyes opened, but all he saw was blackness. Rubbing them did nothing, the darkness continued. A soft voice started singing from somewhere in the distance, and Matthias watched as someone approached him. "Young Matthias," the being greeted him by name. For some reason, he couldn't tell what it was, exactly, only that it spoke to him. "How willing are you?" Matthias wanted to say that made no sense, but wasn't allowed to. "Are you willing to sacrifice yourself for others?" the voice asked. Matthias blinked. "There will come a time where your life will be placed on balance with the lives of others. Will you be willing to give your life for theirs?" As he spoke the last word, several members of the party appeared behind him, winking in and out of existence. First Sergey, the ex-bandit. Then Lumino, the young mage. Finally, Alexia... Who lasted longer than the rest. They all appeared again, and then collapsed, as though dolls. "You have a choice to make..." the voice spoke, as it slowly pulled away. "A choice...."
Matthias tossed and turned in his sleep, as the words tormented him.

Matis woke up shortly after Ralph did, seeing him go downstairs. Following him, he sat beside Sergey, and picked an apple from the table. He didn't want to eat that much, knowing that he probably would have to run all the way to Ilia.
No one in the room at the moment seemed reliable, so Matis revised the plan to help their memory. "Let's check the plan once again, shall we? Sokka, Katara, Ryan and Alan will go to Ostia with Kenshin. You" he said, pointing at Sergey, "will go alongside Alexia, Lumino and Matthias to Etruria. And finally, Ralph here, Lyndsey, Zeiss and Brad will come with me to Ilia. And if we happen to find DrayGon, he will come with us as well."
With that out of the way, he just sat there, waiting for the rest to wake up. Mainly Kenshin and Matthias, to discuss a few details with them.

"Thanks for reminding me, but, is it okay for us to trust the other two?" Ralph asked Matis, he was still new, so he didn't really know much about everyone.

Lumino looked up at Alexia, taking the piece of fruit she offered.
"What I want...has become irrelevant." He said taking a bite of the fruit which he chewed a few times.
"What is more important now, is what has to be done. I have the chance to change it, to do something about it. How could I go back to being one of the people who sit back and pray for heroes, when I could be one of them? It's not the right thing to do, and I can't return to my old life, no matter how much I want to."

OoC: Where is Brad going, I though he was going to Ilia...
BiC: "Weakling" A bigger burlier child pushed over a young Jason "I-I am not!" the smaller boy said "Please you royals are all alike, can't even defend yourself" the bigger boy punched Jason in the nose, it started to bleed "Leave him alone" a younger Ryan said rushing to the falled lordling, Ryan punched the bully between the eyes making him fall down
"Just you wait until your little knight isn't around" the bully ran off "I'll get him later" Ryan helped Jason off the ground "No, Brad was right I am weak, I should be stronger. I'll never be able to rule this place if I can't defend myself"
Brad woke up, he had been remembering that day for a long time now, one of the main factors he chose to run away and where he got his new name from. Brad dressed into his robes and packed a bag, it contained his flux tome and two lunas and the 3 books he borrowed from Athos' library. He walked downstairs to get some food and get ready to head to Ilia, and return to his mentor.
