Sergey stepped out of the tunnel and smelled the fresh air. 'Finally, we're out. Looks like you had the brians not to backstab us after all.' He said looking at kraft. 'So which way now? I have no idea where we are.'

Kraft felt relieved. He was glad that Sergey started to trust him...
Kraft grinned...
"This way, it's a short walk to the oak and from there we'll reach the road to the capital."
He turned away. Started walking. Stopped. Turned around again and asked;
"What are you planning on doing there anyway? How are you going to stop St. Elimine by doing that? If I'm risking my life I would like to know the details. I know, I know, maybe you don't trust me... yet. But I'm patient. And I think I have proven myself. Answer when you are ready. Now follow me."
He turned around again and started walking down a small road...

Stop St. Elmine....this was insane. They couldn't just march in and start this, they needed some kind of a plan.
"Don't you think." Lumino said from the back. "That we should have some idea of what we are going to do before we charge into a hostile city?"

'If you don't like it, then turn around. And for the love of St. Elimene that thing you saw wasn't the real thing.' Sergey said growing more and more irritated with the interregation.

Ha, Sergey, you heretic. When I betray you to St.Elimine you'll be the first to burn. Hehe.
"Anyway, guys, we're at the oak. I guess we'll rest here for a while; to discuss stuff. I'm not the 'planmaker' around here. I'm just simple thief. Just let me in please, if I'm risking my life, I would like to know WHY. Heh."

Lumino arched his eyebrow at the man named Kraft. Perhaps the journey had been hard, because his disguise just fell apart.
"Your just a simple 'thief' eh? Maybe you should hurry back to town, I mean your children probably need your help, right?" He couldn't entirely remove the attitude from his voice. He scanned the surrounding plains and forests. The possibility of them being lead into a trap was very good.
"Guys, i think we should find a place to hide for a bit, something about this situation is bothering me."

'So you're with me then, tweener? i never thought you had it in ya.' Sergey stood up and pulled out his massive Steel Axe. 'I say we behead him right here, quick and painless. Somebody hold him down.'

Alexia had been plodding along, wrapped in her thoughts. Lumino's warning jarred her into the real world, but only for a few seconds. "Sure, hide," she muttered. She had no idea who was supposed to be in charge now, but it looked like they might want her to do it. "We might want to explain things to Kraft." She looked about for somewhere good to hide, but her mind still wasn't processing well. She'd have to wait and follow someone's lead. Finally, her mind digusted what Sergey said. "no killing, we've had enough of that for now," she ordered, resting a weary hand on her sword. She didn't feel like fighting, but she wasn't about to let someone die.
OoC: dang simultaneous post.

Alexia's reply sounded steady, Sergey had catched on to her absentness. Fool, the time to strike was hours ago. You should kll her now. 'Fine, my quarrel is not with him anyhow.' Sergey said with a strange voice. He now drew his Iron Axe. 'Stay out of this, shorty. You have nothing to do with this.'

Alexia was confused by what was going on. She still was fighting her way out of the mournful haze, but it seemed as though Sergey had drawn his iron axe. "Sergey, what are you doing?" she turned to examine her surroundings. "There aren't bandits about, are there?" She continued to search, though she kept a weary eye on Sergey.

What... NO!!! No. NO. I haven't gotten this far to... to... They MUST believe me! Alexia. Yes. Alexia, she will help me. Kraft, you stupid... D**N. This can't be happening...
Kraft threw himself to the ground, at Alexia's, Sergey's and Lumino's feet.
"Oh, thank you Alexia thank you, thank you. Please help me. S-sergey, I am just a puny thief and I j-just wanted to help you. Oh, young mage, sir, kind sir, why would you say such horrible things?? Yes, it's true, I lied about having children, but that was a different occasion, I didn't know about your noble goal and Alexia here h-hadn't saved my life yet... Now I am all yours; I am your noble servant, I will live to serve you; but please don't kill me, please. I am nothing, I am dust. Please. I am on your side!!! I SWEAR!!! I swear it on my mother!!!
Kraft spoke in utter terror and fear. And now he felt that familiar feeling again... Cowardice.
"Please?" He muttered one more time. While looking at Alexia. "There really is no trap. I saved your lives..." Then he lied down and bowed for all of them. Humiliating himself in the dust.
Almost like a dog fighting for some leftovers...

"This doesn't help us any. As far as things stand, we are deep in enemy territory, we've lost...our leader." He had some trouble getting the words out. "A-And we have no idea where we are, not to mention that we are probably fugitives. We don't have the man power to do anything here. Eturia is a religious nation, who are they going to believe, their founders or a crazy dead noble and his followers, heretics all? To continue on with this mission would be foolhardy, perhaps we should return to where we met before." He said, careful not to use the name, he still wasn't sure if he could trust Kraft. He figured that Sergey and Alexia would know which place he was referring to. Lumino didn't really want to give up, but he couldn't see any way of pulling this off now.

"Kraft, get up. Nobody is going to hurt you, I promise," the cavalier's words were an odd mix between harsh and comforting. "You can throw yourself into our cause once you know everything. In the meantime, act like a man." She glanced over her shoulder at Lumino. "We're not going to give up yet. At least I'm not. All it will take is for us to convince somebody the people will actually trust. I'm not going to give up on this mission. None of you have to go any further with me, but I'm continuing," she glanced around, still edgy. The death of Matthias weighed heavily on her, but she was still stronger than the rest of them. Her hand rested on her sword, and she had tried to look as noble as possible.

Lumino wished right then that he knew how to ride a horse, that and he had a few more muscles. He would have, in a heartbeat knocked her out and taken her back to Ostia if he had the capability to do such, but he knew he didn't. Sighing heavily he looked at Alexia.
"Well, Matthias trusted your judgment, so I suppose I will too. Your in command now, what do we do?"

What... It's okay? She believes m-me? KRAFT! You did it!!! MUAHAHA!! I'm alive! I'm with them! I will succeed in my holy quest!!
"T-T-thank you Alexia, Thank you... I am just not that much of a hero, and helping you guys has put a lot of stress on me. I'm burned up. I have nothing. This is the first courageous thing I've done in my life. This place-"
And he pointed at the oak.
"I have never been so far from my village. I have never left this region. This is adventure. I-I-I hope you guys will accept me; because I want to trust you g-guys; but please, I am just a simple man. Not a hardened adventurer like you guys..."
And all was good again. Hehehehe. That mage and that Fighter will burn like the heretics they are. Bah.
