He said to just let him think for a bit, and Ternac looked around, then walking over, saying "You ok here?" He asked, looking around. He didn't want to leave them alone for now, but he wanted to get going, so he said to him "If you need anything, say so, otherwise, I'd like to get on my way."

Shadow, still a bit groggy, said to the man, "Yeah, me too. I was going to Etruria, but this is a delay. I'm going to drop her off at the first inn we come by." Shadow looked at the man quizzically. He then asked, "What is your name again?"

"Well, I can watch out for her if you need me too. Was going to board up anyway." He said to him, figuring it couldn't hurt to offer his help, even if he felt that he didn't need it or something to that effect. At the question of his name, he smiled, and said "Its ternac.'

As Leia fell asleep on her pegasi due to being drunk, knowing that she had to run from Bern as she is a wanted fugitive from the Bernian borders slave market, but upon the way in the air by in between the Ostian and Eturnian borders the pegasi neighed wildly as the pegasi named "Hermes" dove down into the forest seeing two people, one unconsious and one limping also slightly recognising that they were actually the same people that she saw from the Ostian town. As the horse neighed wildy throwing Leia off the horse waking her up sleepy as she said *yawn* "What is it boy?" Leia looked in surprise seeing three people. One unconcious and one that is barely standing well she said "Are ye alright?" "Are ye lost?"

Shadow, when hearing the oddly familiar voice, turned around slowly. He thought that it was a dream now. The voice, with the very pirate-like accent. As Shadow faced the person, his thoughts were correct. There was the pegasi. And right next to the winged horse, was the woman he had met a while ago. Shadow thought to himself, Has it been days, weeks, or just hours since I've seen you...? Seeing this person yanked Shadow back into reality. There was a survivor on the short list of who he knew. He remembered now, how she introduced herself, saying that her name was 'Leia', and she was a pirate pegasi rider. Shadow was lost for words, and could only stare into the face of this most... unique person.

"Whoah!" Was all he had to say as the pegasus knight appeared by them, and somehow, Shadow seemed to notice her. Looking at her, he shrugged, and said "Well, they hit their heads rather hard, but he's up, while the girl's out. Whats your name?" He asked, still surprised by her random entrance.

Leia.
Did a fight happen? Well, where ye headed? I might be able to take ye there if possible. But if thy girl tis out, how are you guys going to get her to the detionation that your headed too. I was on the run of Bern, but I'm safe here for ye awhile. Hermes sensed trouble, and here ye am. Ye guys are travelers, with small supplies like what ye have, ye don't know if this'll be enough for thy trip.

Suddenly, a though came into Shadow's mind, listening to the two converse. He knew better than to trust everyone he met, but she seemed like a good person. Even with the pirate gettup. "Leia," Shadow suddenly began, "I need a favor from a good person such as yourself. You have offered to fly us to a location to a place of safety, correct? I ask of you, please, take the girl to a safe area, perhaps to a bishops monastery, where they may heal her. She needs help. Please, if you can take her to safety, that would help her deceased friends, and my soul, to rest. Please..." That last word was full of misery pain, and anguish. It shown in Shadow's eyes as well. This was never part of Shadow's nature. He never let anyone see weakness in him. Yet, he slipped. He knew that this was as much as he could care for Leera. Sure, he knew that Leera believed him to be her friend. But Shadow knew that he was meant to live a lonely life. For that was what path he had chosen, so many years ago, in a village, somewhere in Bern.

"Wait what?" He said shocked at Shadow's words. He was going to offload this girl to some stranger who had just landed here? Obviously he wasn't too drawn to the girl. Still, that seemed extremely foolhardy, and then looking at Leia, a wild idea came to his head, and he asked "Could I perhaps come with you? As for traveling food, I just hunt, and have about five day's provisions. Was going to restock in ostia, but we can go elsewhere."

Shadow waited for the man to stop talking before he would vent his anger. It only took about 3 seconds for Shadow to let the comment, as short as it was, to sink in. He had no idea who this person was, but Shadow did. He had no idea what Leera has been through, but Shadow did. And he let it show. Shadow wheeled at Ternac, now facing the man he just met. He clenched his fists, and began his eruption. "You have no idea what she has been through! She deserves to be taken to an area of healing, and you know that! I cannot provide that need for her. So don't you even think of how horrible of a person I am being right now, when this may be the best thing I could ever do for her!" Shadow's eyes were blazing with hate. His usually calm face, gone, and replaced with anger. He was breathing a bit more heavily now, finally letting some stress out. Of course, that was nothing to what else he had. He, however, decided to keep that in.

Ternac, for a second, realized maybe he had crossed the line. That was a bit too personal. The reaction by Shadow sealed it, but it brought him no sympathy. So the man couldn't keep his temper? Well, that was too bad for him. He listened to him with an passive look on his face, and said " Well, suit yourself." He picked up his pack, shouldering it, and then said "Well, don't worry. She'll be safe." How Ternac knew, he didn't. He just had a feeling. But he trusted those feelings.

Shadow calmed down quite a bit, in a matter of seconds. Why he even let his emotions show, he had no idea. But now, he wanted to make sure of something. "Ternac," he started, "All I wish to say now... is thank you. You took care of my, even though you did not need to. And I am thanking you for taking Leera in. She is a kind person. If she wakes, however, do not talk about where I am. Just tell her... I am now at rest." Shadow felt so much pain in his chest. He wanted the pain to leave, but he knew it wouldn't. At least, not for a long time. He did not want to leave Leera. But he knew that his lifestyle was not going to help this young woman. So, Shadow finished his part. "Ternac, I will probably never see you again. Or you either, Leia. I can only say thank you for helping a stranger such as myself."

Ye in need of a lift, sure. This horse loves the air and it shouldn't be too difficult to reach your destination. But you guys have to sit in the back and someone will have to strap this lady on the horse, so that she doesn't fall off. Just tell ye where you need thee to go. I am wanted from another country. I'm planning on doing some good deeds to clear up ye name. I was a slave at the slave market down in Bern, till I escaped. Well it will be tough to carry her on, someone is going to have to hold her. Do not worry, the pegasus can fly steady enough for someone in need of rest.

OoC: Just letting you guys know, this is my last post in this thread. You can do whatever, as long as it doesn't involve me, and, well, thats it. Have fun.
BiC: Shadow turned to Leia, his eyes with a different look to them. One would almost say, that inside, Shadow was smiling. Of course, there was no smile upon his face. "Again, Leia, thank you." Shadow turned north, and started walking. As he did, he put his hood over his head, covering his eyes, and every other facial detail above the nose. Shadow felt sad in a way. He was leaving the closest person in his life, who was almost like a friend to him. At one point, he actually believed that the hardships were over with Leera, and they would commit their lives together to seek knowledge of the unexplainable darkness that is within this world. But he knew better than to keep his hopes up for long, and he broke the final connection to him and Leera. as Shadow walked, in the forest, a ways away from the group, the wind lightly blew, so that every step he took, his dark cloak would gently push backwards. His hood felt like the same would happen, but it never did. He looked to the sky. There were cloud's blocking the sun. Shadow smiled to himself. Today would be a good day.
