The purple-haired mage titled his head, slightly smiling. "Yes, Mana, my brother - as word has it - is traveling with a scouting company in Sacae. I shall join them there." He looked down at her, being shorter than he was. "I wish you luck. I know you will find him, your heart is in the right place. You'll know where to look, then you'll find him."
He turned to Cebrail. "Seems we both have searching to do, but you resemble what she's looking for. I would have her take after you anyways; I wouldn't want such a young promising swordsman to follow me to my grave yet again." He winked jokingly at Mana.

Cebrail blushed slightly when Mana said he reminded her of her own brother. He looked around in embarrassment.
"Take what supplies we can spare my friend. It is a long journey to Illia. Which way are you taking? It would be dangerous to go alone, and any messengers we send to other cities may be able to accompany you." He didn't wish to see his friend depart, but it was business that needed to be taken care of.
Cebrail whistled loudly, gaining the caravan's attention. "We move westward, away from Santaruz. Tomorrow morning, we will send out groups of three towards three different cities to petition for aid. Let us make haste." The caravan began to move, the injured laid upon the carts while the cavalry pulled. Cebrail was moving back and forth between them, tending to their wounds.
As he was walking, he saw Bridget still with them.(OoC: If you are still with us... otherwise... oops XD) "How about you? Will you stay with us?" And his eyes slowly drifted downward...

Selibas walked up to Cebrail and Reylan. He said " I'm sorry but i will have to leave soon. I can stay for some time if you take a certain path. But i must go to Nabata i have to find something there. I apologize if iv'e wasted your supplies." He then waited thinking that like any commander they would be angry and tell him to leave.

"To Nabata? What would you need there? Bah, either way, are you sure? Mana agreed to help you train." He waited for his answer. Taking out the map, he looked at the distance the young boy would have to travel. "It's quite a trip, dangerous at that. If you really wish to leave, we won't stop you. Like I told Balthier, take what supplies we can spare and you may leave whenever you want."
Cebrail was starting to feel sad, the group that had just recently formed was beginning to depart from each other. That's just life I suppose, people come and go...

Bridget smirked at Cebrail. "Certainly. If this group is travelling around, then it suits my needs perfectly. As for further payment, I'm sure we can work something out. But for now, let's just enjoy the ride." she said. Bridget looked at Mana and gave her a wink. "I'm sure we'll get along fabulously." she added. Bridget was glad to once again be in a group, after the splitting-up at the crypt. It was very...comforting.

" I'm sorry I wish I could stay. One of few good men in my enemy The Prophet's army made me promise to avenge his brother my Mentors death. He was killed by Bern Wyvern riders in a skirmish. I look for a Wyvern rider from a different Battalion who rebeled who stays in Nabata since the man who convinced him to rebel died there. I hope he can tell me who killed my mnentor. Then i can move onto the man who my my Mentor fight the Prophet." Selibas said with anger as he spoke of his two enemies.
"You all march on Etruria maybe I'll see you there." Selibas said," Where will you all go?"

OoC: Level up ;D
IC: Cebrail continued to stare at the woman. Shaking out of his trance, he listened to Selibas' quest for vengeance. "I think we may stay here in Lycia and rebuild. Afterward, who knows. We may very well meet again in Etruria. But please, delay your departure until at least tomorrow morning. We could all use some rest after Santaruz." He turned to look at Mana; her leg seemed to be fine. He returned back to his conversation with Bridget.
"Payment... at most right now we can offer you food, shelter and I suppose good company." He smiled. He hoped she would stay, they were all getting along nicely. Cebrail opened the map and thought again. Slowly he dropped back to speak with Balthier.
"My friend, I have a favor to ask of you. Our group is moving westward, from there we will send out men to request aid from Pherae, Badon and Laus. If you can delay your departure, I would like you to stay with the group while I head to Caelin. I have some personal business I want to take care of. While I'm there, I can determine their standing on Etruria. Please, stay until I return."

Ooc: I plan to have him stay just creating reasons. Also this is just night for Slibas so you can finish your day with your people
Selibas didn't want the group to overextend their hospitality so he took the chance while cebrail was distracted. He slipped through the men and started walking away. Ony looking back to get a glimpse at Mana.
He started out on the road west. He knew he was going out of his way to take the road they were but he sortof wanted them to follow him. He wanted to stay but couldnt break his promise so easily.
Then night fell. Selibas had nothing to sleep in nothing to make fire just his cloak, clothes, and his sword so he kept on walking. Then he heard rustling in the bushes and drew his sword. He continued to walk showing he wasn't afraid just not stupid.
Two large men ran at him and he raised his sword. But just before they reached him he was stabbed in the chest from behind. Selibas fell and the bandits took his sword and his gold for a reason Selibas didn't know they left his cloak.
Selibas was still alive but unconcious.

Balthier walked, resting his hands behind his head as Cebrail approached him with a map. He tilted his head and raised an eyebrow as the soldier walked towards him.
Balthier regarded his question, and glanced around at the other men and woman around him. "Hmph." He said, sighing. "Yes, well, I suppose I shall remain in your company a bit longer. However, in regards to Bridget, I gave her everything I had last time. She may leave." He stopped, turning to Cebrail.
"My friend, I mean no angst, however, you must understand that afterwards, I must leave. I cannot linger here forever, after all." He smiled at Cebrail, and continued walking.

"I understand my friend; I hate to delay you any longer then need be. I'll take a horse and be should be back by tomorrow." Cebrail walked to one of the nearby horses and got on. turn the horse around, he began to gallop eastward, away from the caravan. If he rode quickly, he should be in Caelin by nightfall and be back with the group by early tomorrow afternoon, with supplies.
After a few minutes of riding, he realized that he hadn't told anyone else where he was going. He stopped for a moment. It doesn't matter, I'll be back tomorrow.
OoC: Until I post that I have returned to the group, all following posts made by me will be taking place somewhere else.
~~~~~~~~~~
It was early evening when Cebrail arrived in Caelin. He smiled slightly, he had made good time. He dropped off the horse and tied to a tree outside the home. The moonlight iluminated the headstone not far away. He slowly walked over and fell to his knees.
"I'm back....for a little bit. I met a young girl who reminds me of you... I thought I'd let you know. I'd do right with her where I failed with you...Lilah.." A tear slid down his cheek, shimmering in the moonlight. He stood up and wiped his face, walking towards castle Caelin, not to far in the distance.
The guards had let him in and escorted him to the Marquess. Briefly, Cebrail explained the situation to him and requested the much needed aid.

Mana smiled , "Yeah, we will be a good friend." Being the only female in this group wasn't bad, but she was longing for a female friend. She was sure if she and Bridget would get along. Bridget seemed older than her, but that wouldn't be a problem.
Mana walked around the camp and saw Selibas leaving the group. "Huh? Where is he going?" She turned and saw that the other didn't notice him so she decided to follow him alone. "Where is him?" She lose his track because he walked too fast. The forest was dark and she barely could see the road. Then she heard a sound not far from her place, she followed that sound and found Selibas lying in the ground, bleeding and unconscious.
"Mother Earth!" She crouched beside him, checking his wound. The wound wasn't fatal but he lose too much blood. She took out a Vulnerary quickly and tended his wound. After she finished, she removed her cloak and covered his body with it so he wouldn't catch cold. She wanted to take him back to the camp but her leg was wounded and she couldn't carry him alone. She sighed and sat beside him. "Why is man always stupid?"

Selibas could only feel pain. Then all of a sudden he started to feel his wound mend. He still felt a searing pain but it was as if the hate in the wound was gone.
He then felt warm in the night as a cloak was laid next to him. He didn't know what had happened but he supposed an angel watched over him because even unconcious he felt a presence next to him.
Then five or so minutes later he woke up tosee Mana. He started to get up when he saw her leg he said "It's not good for you to walk this far alone with that injury. I think I'll have to carry you back to camp."

Mana surprised as Selibas talked to her. "Good you are alright," she muttered. Then she stood up and jumped few times to show if her injury was nothing. "I am fine. I have use a Vulnerary on my wound. But, look at yourself." She turned to Selibas, her face showed her anger, then she scolded him. "Why do you leave without say anything? If I don't find you maybe you will..." She couldn't say 'dead'.
Mana closed her eyes for few seconds, trying to control her anger. "This is why man is always stupid...You and Balthier, both of you almost die." She was really angry to him but happy too because he was alive, she always cared for her friends although they just met. Then she circled his arm around her neck and helped him to stand up. "I will help you walking until we reach the camp. Your wound is worse than mine, you need a cleric to heal you."

Ooc: Level up i think
Ic: Selibas' chest stopped hurting a while. He knew she wouldn't let him walk alone so he kept his arm around her. He said, "I'm sorry for leaving without saying anything that was selfish of me."
He felt for his sword out of habit. He suddenly remembered it was stolen he no longer had the sword he had used for almpst a year now. He thought of the bandits who had stolen it and cringed over in pain.

The sunlight trickled into the early morning sky. After having explained their predicament to Marquess Caelin, Cebrail left immediately to return to the caravan. The Marquess would send clerics and supplies to the area that Cebrail had indicated. He took as much as he could carry; food, vulneraries, bandages.
The ride had been swift and easy, both upon his departure and arrival at the caravan. The caravan itself had moved quickly and was nearly approaching the site marked on the map. He approached Balthier, who was sleeping upon his horse.
"My friend, it is morning. I have procured us some supplies with more to follow. But now, I suppose, it is time for you to take your leave of us." He held out his hand in appreciation. He looked around, noticing their numbers had slimmed down...slightly.
"Are we missing Mana...and the boy? Uh.. Selibas?" He felt worried, he told himself that he'd protect her. Maybe he was overreacting, they both knew how to handle a weapon. They should be alright.
"Hmm, either way. My friend, we shall meet again soon."
