Continuing the Search
(by Issic)
It was late into the night when the boy reached the pub. He was tired and hungry, his horse exhausted from the trips that were made. The boy climbed off his horse and took it to the stables then walked into the pub. It was a busy night, lots of people having a good time as they ate and drank. The music in the background was cheerful. Silas always keeping an eye on Caelynn as she made her rounds from the tables. One man causing a bit of a ruckus at one of the far tables, being a little louder then the rest, a little more friendly towards Caelynn then he should have been. Silas filled another mug of ale and then reached slowly under the counter and grabbed a pinch of white dust like powder and sprinkled it into the mug and then wiped his fingers clean.
"Here Caety girl. Here's a fresh mug for your boyfriend of the night." He smirked at her as she gave him a disgusted glance. He enjoyed messing with her every now and then, teasing her about her new boyfriends which happen to be the ones that he would normally have to save her from later in the night because they were trying to get too friendly.
She took the mug over to him and grabbed the empty one, quickly side stepping the guys hand as he tried to slap her butt. Within minutes the powder ran it's course through the man who had fallen forward upon the table in a deep sleep. Caelynn looked back at Silas who just winked at her and continued on with his work. He noticed a tired and ragged boy stumble through the doorway. Caelynn saw Silas's head quickly turn in the direction of the door and her head spun as well hoping to see a familiar face. Saddened when she saw it was the same boy who had delivered a message from Issic earlier that day. Something wasn't right, why was he back so soon. She walked over to the boy and gently placed her hand on his shoulder.
"I... I bring a message..." The boy yawned tiredly.
"Come with me." She lead the boy to Silas to whom the boy gave the scroll. He noticed the seal of The Shadows and placed it in his pocket.
"Perhaps the lad could use something warm to eat and perhaps a glass of juice. A bed to rest in as well for the night." Silas spoke softly.
Caelynn nodded softly and lead the boy to her room and grabbed him a hot bowl of stew with a piece of bread and a cold glass of orange juice. It wasn't long at all before the boy had fallen asleep.
Caelynn knew that Silas wouldn't open the scroll until the pub closed and didn't say anything about it but just kept going about her duties. She wondered what he was doing, where he was. If there was something wrong. Emotions ran through her body and mind for the rest of the night.

Issic looked over the surroundings of the ruined village. He knew there was a valley that was that they could use to get past Krondon.
"The sea is directly in front of us, however so is Krondon as you can see. If we go past Diogel we can get to the valley and should have safe travel until we get to the shore. From there we can search around. My question is that this area is full of Ogers, why would the Ogers of Krondon allow passage through their kingdom for Draks, and if they didn't go that way, someone in Diogel would have had to seen them. There is no other way to get from where we are to the shore without passing one of those two areas..."
O'honat looked at him and nodded in agreement. "Issic, I do not get distracted from the questions I wish answered that easily. Why, I ask again, does The Guild of Shadows show interest in this matter?"
"Damn you're persistent aren't you... The Shadows has reason to believe of wrong doing, I'm here to check into it. It just so happens that the wrong doings are one in the same as that which you've come across. Hopefully we can find out just where these damn draks went to, and what they are up to. If the Draks and the Ogers banded together, there has to be a reason as to why they would do it, and who they are doing it for. If we find nothing at the shore perhaps we should sneak into Krondon and scout their kindom of anything strange."
