It was rather dark out, storm clouds were starting to roll over the place. What a day to be caught out in the midst of things travelling. Honestly she leaves and things just seemed to look worse and worse. Essentially she was the glass-half-full but things just weren't settling very well with her at the moment. Placing her hand the hilt of her blade she continued walking through, she and her father had fought about this day, but she was determind to start travelling.
War plagued the land and there were people in need of help somewhere. And where ever that was she was going to find it. She felt herself burst into a spring her eyes fixated ahead as the rain began to spit from the sky, soaking the Myrmidon.

Aleth walked through the plains with some confusion. Whenever she was in Sacae somehow she always gets lost. The weather was against her as well for the day and she had little to no money left. Her sword clanged harmlessly on her back as she moved through the endless area, looking for some town or a place to rest. Her eyes moved with worry for any signs of human life. Thats when she found another girl traveling alone it seems. It would be better to go with someone else then by herself anyways. With a quick jolt of her strength she rushed over to greet the girl which turned out to had blue hair.
"Hey there!" Aleth said with much excitement, sweat rushing down from her forehead. The running with her sword was extremely tiring!

"Hey there!"
Melody paused hearing the female voice, that was another voice right or was it the wind playing tricks on her? However she saw a white haired girl, sporting short hair cut, running towards her. Her sword strapped onto her back, which while this woman was of the blade she was not a myrmidon, the stance was far too different. Stopping fully she turned herself to face the girl entirely, curiousity perking up in her blue eyes.
"Hello," Melody smiled slightly, "You alright there? You seem a tad out of breath."

Aleth quickly returned to a straighter posture when she got the other girl's attention. For awhile she inspected the girl's clothes, there was something off. Pushing the thought away she noticed the sword she was carrying. It made her uneasy to talk to strangers with weapons, but most people did have some sort on them.
"I'm fine, its just I'm sort of lost." Aleth replied with a happy tune.

(OoC: Dun dun DUUUN! Rayl is now joining up with what seems like another group of girls.... -_- I would have gone to Lycia, but Crowley wants me dead. I wouldn't go back to Bern, cuz Bern and Delroy want me dead, so I'll hang with the strangers for now, eh?)
IC: Again, it seems his sense of direction failed him...fun. He hardly noticed it was raining now, as he kept his horse charging and charging, though he eventually had it come to a halt so it could rest, having just traveled all the way from Bern, and fell to the ground himself, only now letting the pain in his wounds completely get to him, while his horse stood by scanning the area (noticing two girls in the distance), while it grazed.
He was thinking about Persephone and Alcibie now, and honestly douibted he'd be able to face them again. He only performed his duty as a knight of the Olde Code, and now everybody was after him. Sure he'll admit, drinking got him into this mess with Crowley the Magnificent long ago, and this time he was fully sober, and STILL they hated him...maybe he should just find a quiet place here in this sea of grass and be a hermit....

(OOC: I'm going to post since I'm tired of waiting and so is Aleth v_v. Once I post I'm not sure how long it would take for Melody...)
Aleth heard the tapping of horse against the soft melodic drops of rainfall. Someone was approaching she hoped it wasn't going to be trouble. As she turned her head her anger seemed to rise. It was a knight! Of all things in Sacae a knight had to come. She didn't like knights much since the first few she met were so snobby and prideful of there title. Aleth knew she shouldn't be stereotyping at the moment. She turned her attention away from the other girl and walked towards the direction the horse was approaching.
"Hey you!" "Are you lost?" she asked in a not so happy mood.

(ooC: Awhile, According to Alcibie, Persephone has to learn some italian for the theatre. that crazy Persephone eh? ) IC: The horse looked up and snorted, rearing up onto it's hind legs, though stopped when Rayl held up a hand form the wet grass,"...Lost and very much in pain, thank you very... much..." the humor in that was not really intentional, as he slowly sat up, removing part of his armor to check one of his arrow wounds, the cooling rain didn't feel so bad what with how long he'd been wearing that metal suit of his, before sliding the shoulderplate back into place, his hand nervously reaching for his lance, he honestly didn't like her tone at the moment...

(OOC: After this post should I wait or go on?)
Aleth flinched at the site of the wound the cavalier showed when taking off part of the armor. This just wasn't her day and her getting drenched didn't make things better. She'll have to find somewhere dry and polish off her sword carefully so it wouldn't rust. Oh the pain staking job of cleaning a mercenary's sword made her want to quit plenty of times. This guy had her respect at least and it didn't make her feel well to make an unhappy tone to someone that was injured.
"Sorry about my rudeness, maybe its best to find some sort of shelter first," she replied in a more happy tone.

Dispite the pain he actual let out a slight chuckle," In this sea of grass? I've been here only twice, including this moment here, and trees are few and far between...though I did come form the mountains, and there is a cave nearby...but there is probably a bear or something inside...and besides, I like the rain...it's calming and soothing..." he slowly got to his feet, where he gave a salute,"Now for introductions: I am Sir Rayl, knight of the Olde Code...and your name is...?"
(OoC: I dun know...she may be gone for awhile)

"Aleth, can you not be like such a noble like brat in front of me?" "I don't enjoy people that act so prideful and follow silly rules that obviously hurt the people they try to protect sometimes," she spoke with a truthful tone. It was true to her, as far as she knows some people are hurt by the rules knights hold. It made her heart break each and every time something like that breaks up a family. All she follows is help those that need it, no matter what. This guy really did seem like a better knight then those she had to work with once before.

"Ah...that is how the Olde Code differs from the modern knight. We are follow the teachings of the Holy Knight Barigan to the letter." he smiled kindly, before looking up towards the sky," Unlike other knights, we do not serve lords or kings, but the common people...defend the innocent, smite the wicked, and keep the world a safe place for generations to come..." he knew slight tears were going down his face, so he was glad it was raining,"But we are a dieing group it seems...people usually just either become those poor excuses for knights or become money grubbing mercenaries..." he slowly got up onto his horse,"Well, shall we find that shelter...I could cook us a meal or something I suppose..."
(OoC: Wait, did she say her name, or was that sentence in quotations merely a brief flashback...)

(OOC: Yes I did say my name) 'money grubbing mercenaries...', that really made her blood boiling. Well he must not be thinking all mercenaries like that, she concluded. Pushing the comments away it was so hard not to swing her sword in his direction. It was best to forget the comments and move on, but one of these days she will get her revenge. Then a sudden thought came in mind, she wanted to see how obedient this knight was to his code, then again sometimes its best not know.
"Yeah shelter, so are suggesting that I'm a money grubbing mercenary?" she asked raising an eyebrow. If this guy was to answer yes then oh he has gotten himself into quite a fight.

Rayl stared at the girl for aonly a brief moment, before continuing on,"I cannot say, for I know not if your a mercenary, or if your money-grubbing." he was now honestly too tired to really say anything with any sort of excitement, which explains why the words he spoke seemed bored and unamused, while he patted his horse on the side,"Most mercenaries I've met are money grubbing that is...traveled with group, for only but a small moment...have you heard of 'Crowley the Magnificent'? There's an example for you. He's a good man and all, but still..." he decided to dismount, and lead his horse instead, he had been riding for a long time anyways, and his legs were killing him from it...she probably wouldn't understand why...

"Nope never heard of him, nor do I care," Aleth responded true-fully to the comment. Well it did seem that what they both did was something that wasn't considered good..... It made her think through, she did do most things for money, but was she money grubbing herself? Well it didn't make her feel good to think that some mercenaries were like that.
"Just to let you know I am a mercenary, but you're right shelter first," she replied in a cool temper to not she her distress.

"Quite so." he continued on the way back to where he had come from, stopping before the cave, hesitate for a brief moment, before leading his horse inside behind. Thankfully: No bears. Letting out a sigh, he removed his armor, setting down on the ground, where he then began taking rocks from around the area, setting them down and around in a circle: Obviously preparing a fire,"Well, not all mercenaries are bad...I once knew a noble from Ilia. She had just become a pegasus knight, and went on the traditional joining a mercenary group for more training journey...do you perhaps know a woman named Persephone?"
Stretching, he looked out towards the rain, before begining to head out from their little shelter, lance in hand"I'll go collect firewood, and maybe catch us something to eat." as he exited into the pouring rain, his horse calmly laid down, shaking off the equipment from it's saddle...probably trained to do that...oh well.
