Actually completely oblivious to Matis' hostility, Zeiss gazed at the stars. As always when he was stuck with the nightwatch, he tried to pinpoint their location with the help of the stars.

Ralph slept soundly for the first time since they left Arcadia, he didn't move once while sleeping.

Zeiss had patiently watched the sun come up and rise into the sky. He hadn't actually watched out for anything nearer then the moon all night. Finally he rose to wake Alan.

"Morning, everyone" Matis said, as he stretched out. He was used to sleeping on the wild, but those beds back in Arcadia were so comfy...
He looked at the sky, and listened to the wind for a couple of seconds. "The northeast wind..." he muttered. Without waiting for anyone else, he started walking in the direction of the source of the wind. The kingdom of Laus shouldn't be much further ahead. From there, it would be a long journey to Tuscana, and a much shorter one to the city of Araphen, right in the border between Lycia and Sacae.
Hopefully, Ostia had been the only target so far...

Ralph sat up and scratched his head. "Good Morning" he said dullfully.

'Good moring to you to, Ralph Meglane.' Zeiss said cheerfully. He alredy started walking again, his legs were asleep.

Ralph shook his cloak and wrapped it around himself. "Shall we get going?"

Matis wandered far ahead of the rest of the group, unknowing that they were not yet following him. He drifted into thoughts, as he walked through the now-grassy fields.
Wonder...how the rest are doing. For some reason, he looked at the scabbard he had found the Mani Katti in. The very scabbard that kept it tight around his waist even now. Blue colored with golden markings here and there, much like his own trench coat. The sheath was made of a very strong material too, or even the smallest movement would make the blade cut it in half.
Unsheathing the blade, he wondered how hard would it be to double-wield weapons of different types. It seemed like madness, but he wanted to, one day, be able to use a lance and sword both at the same time. He reached to his back, were both of his lances were hanging, and grabbed one of them with his left hand.
Not used to it, the weight was too much for attacking comfortably, and trying to do so would most likely end up in him getting cut by his own weapons. He desisted from the idea, sighing. Looking back, he saw that the group was still idle, back where they had camped, bar Alan, who was flying his way to him now.

Alan too, was lost in thought. He wondered how things were back home. The mere thought o how people must think of him back home filled him with sadness and remorse. As always, he pushed the thought to the back of his mind. He had to stay focused.

OoC: "Pusg=hed"? XD
BiC: Time passed. Zeiss, Ralph and Lyndsey eventually caught up with Matis and Alan, and they marched in a painful silence through the land, and finally made it to Laus. Problems arised, though.
"What!? Why not!?" Matis asked furiously, demanding to know why they were forbidden entrance to the city.
"We've had notice of what happened in Ostia. We don't want our beloved kingdom to suffer the same fate. I'm sorry. No one has been allowed to enter ever since our neighbor was crushed, a week ago."
"A week ago? Damn...he could have laid waste on so many cities by now." he thought upon hearing the guard's words. "But something doesn't quite make sense." As always, he wandered off into thoughts, paying no mind to the outside world.
"Either Roland's target was only Ostia, or it was not even his target at all. Otherwise, he would have attacked the nearby cities. And had that happened, word would have spread out to here to, and the guard would have mentioned more than just Ostia. A...trap? I have to tell Kenshin...but I can't simply change course now. Besides, I don't even know where he is... Hopefully, Kenshin will hear this, and stop on his tracks, and head elsewhere first."
"What now?" he asked the group, coming back to his senses. The closest city was Ryerde, but it too would have taken measures against this menace. His only hope was that Tuscana and Araphen had not...yet.

'We're going to have to stay in the wilderness a little longer then, that's fine. If we are Hargus, as I suspect we shouldn't bring innocent people involved.' Alan said more to himself then anyone.

A whole week passed. Time seemed like nothing right now. The group had grown accustomed to traveling on the grassy fields of Lycia, and most likely swore to themselves that they would avoid going back to Nabata, unless it was extremely necessary.
Two towns midways to Tuscana closed their gates upon seeing the group coming near, and they were sent elsewhere in both places with the same excuse the laussan guard had used. Tuscana was only a couple of miles away now. All had gone smoothly(in terms of bandits) ever since the lost battle at the country border, and everyone hoped it would remain that way for the rest of the trip. They couldn't afford to waste more time.
OoC: A small battle while we wait for Ralph and Marzius, Alan? Or should we keep skipping forward?

Zeiss trodded along right behind Matis where ever he went, he was too tired to think, this field trip had exhausted him completely.
OoC: Yeah okay, i'm in.

A stream! Matis' face shone upon seeing the flow of water. They had been rationing water ever since they left the oasis in the desert, and it was about to run out too. He dropped his weapons close to the river, and jumped in it.
"Finally!" he shouted. Ralph and Lyndsey soon followed suit, leaving their weapons(and pegasus too, in Lyndsey's case) next to Matis', and slowly getting into the river. Ferocious eyes looked from the nearby bushes and rocks, though, and the sole feeling of happiness had clouded not only Matis', but everyone's senses as well. Not even one of them realized they were being followed. But they soon would...
