"He knows the royal family of Elodus, if we can capture him we can obtain vital information." Percival spoke mentally to Galahad. 

"We can go somewhere less populated. Keep trying to pin them." Galahad replied through thought.

(She feels bad because she super ships Will and Amelia and Will is blowing it XD)

Emily stood in place and waited for her duty

Bair panted a bit holding his cheek. "I'm sorry"

"Nightmare, from now on" was Veronica's response. "Bair, i'm happy you are finding your calling but how do I put this. Nightmare runs so fast its' like he teleports. Hollow's horses are famous for their speed. WIth you, it was like being flung several feet. I'm just saying"

A little red Bair said "I'm sorry Veronica"

Veronica sighed "It's fine, what's done is done, so where did my folks say that Ms. Spynxy would be?"

"Probably the Old Memorial Stones" Bair guessed as Veronica caught on that her parents didn't tell her.

Veronica sighed "That place gives me the creeps. The sight of the most bloody battle in Hollow's history, a battle dad barely won. The sands stained with so much blood it corrupted the whole desert from that one area."

Bair nodded and said "I'm sorry"

Veronica sighed "It's a good spot, it's a place of reflection for some"

Alyssa was getting ready as the Griffin went for a killing strike, with a swift motion she side stepped and sicked up beheading the thing causing it to drop to the ground dad. She then bowed in respect and pulled out a dagger "Better take what we need, Griffin fur is very warm and, more importantly, very valuable. I'll need money when I reach the city..."

"Alright, let's go, Emily, and try to relax and have some fun?" Amelia asked. Will stepped out past them, giving a small wave.

"I'm gonna head on ahead of you, see you in there," Will said, before dashing off down the hallway. Amelia waved, and then it was just her and Emily.

Sofka the sphinx was indeed perched among the red sands, her eyes closed as she meditated quietly.

Ryker grew hesitant as they ventured deeper into the more decrepit parts of the city, dropping back in pace as the realization struck him that they very well could know he was following. His hand fell to the butt of his sword as his pace slowed, though he kept at eye on the red hair in the distance. As the white haired one broke off, he went into high alert, widening his focus to the area around him.

(It's just Amelia and Emily, Will specifically left)
Percival readied himself as the chatter of thoughts became more isolated, his hand resting on the butt of his sword as he prepared to at least trap his opponent in a clash of swords to prevent them from properly running. Once his target was spotted, he'd move out and let loose a disabling strike at the right arm, the arm most frequently used by sword fighters.

Veronica sighed "You were sent" letting him take lead.

"Ms. Sofika, it's a pleasure to meet you" Bair said a bit nervous meeting her a bit.

Emily looked at Amelia and said "So, Will's rather nice"

(It’s Sofka, not Sofika)

“As he always has been....we grew up together, Emily,” Amelia said, confused by her statement.

“Waiting is a necessity to learn, and so you shall learn it. I am not done meditating, but feel free to meditate with me,” Sofka answered.

Ryker caught the noise of movement first, turning to find the white haired man rushing at him. He drew his sword in a fluid movement, bringing it up to block the sword. “I don’t want to fight you!” Ryker said, backing up significantly.

Percival kept his sword ready as he moved to keep the gap close, reading his opponent's mind as he spoke. "Then explain why you decided to follow us." He ordered, sending a quick mental tap to Galahad to let him know to come back.

Bair was silent as he sat next to Veronica.

Emily's face deflated a bit, but she understood. It was ridiculous to force people together even if you did think they would make a good couple. She then stated "Well, at least look at him as your best bad option then." trying to be on her side. "At least you know Will, and it's not some random noble."

Alyssa rolled up the feathers and fur and just began walking to it. It shouldn't be to long now, hopefully she can find a spring of come kind...or maybe even a town...to clean herself up. Don't want to look unpresintable...

“Why’s that odd?” Ryker asked, lowering his own sword, though he didn’t sheath it.

Sofka closed her eyes once more, quiet.

Amelia just didn’t respond, frowning at the prospect.

"Association with us could be a good way to get yourself in trouble, if people identify us." Percival replied. Galahad approached, his hand clearly resting on his sword as he stared daggers at Ryker.

Veronica answered back "Of course not" as images of Ryker came up as well and how they would play together as kids. While Bair was more vocal about it, the truth is she missed Ryker as well. She wish they could have worked something out, however it was just not to be. "It's just...Bair is just the love of my life" 

Bair in the meantime was thinking back to the moment that changed his life. Him reaching across from his dying adoptive father as Inora ran away. He paused though, replaying that scene over and over again in his head...

Why did she even do that?

Emily stated "It would be my pleasure," walking forward and motioning with her hand "Ladies and Gentlemen of the Evening, presenting her royal highness, Princess Amelia Lokada!" motioning as Vxal was a little proud to see his little girl doing that

Richard smiled a little as well never though he could get this far. 

There was utter silence as they went to make a move, but one quickly became a few inches shorter without his head as the others ran away in utter terror. Alyssa was calm as she kicked it away from Kaos, not wanting him to crave human blood. She washed off the rest of the blood, plus the new ammount and finally ventured forth...seeing the Capital City in the distance. This is it...

"You did not love him when you were friends, you three were just that, friends," Sofka said to her, the whispers of the sphinx wrapping around Veronica. "You mock your lover when he brings up his best friend, and pretend as though Ryker is dead and not simply gone. Why..?"

"What are you looking for in this scene?" Sofka asked of Bair. "Beyond the pain and torture of watching your father die?"

Amelia entered the throne room to a round of loud applause, and she paused at the top of the stairs before descending into the room. She smiled at people as she passed but approached her father and brother first.

Will stepped up beside his father, having returned. "I was able to give her, her gift in private. She loved it," he said quietly.

"I'd recognized him, though I recognize your name," Ryker said, shaking Percival's hand firmly. "How'd you know I was following you, though? I was easily fifty feet back and hidden in crowds."
