Entry+Four

Wow did we miss a lot at the ball. We left a little early and come to find out Reid has now been arrested. The King was assasinated and the Prince missing. Ried is being held for conspiracy. Arion decides to go to town to find out if he can get Reid out, Jen offered to go but there was no way I was staying with the kids. What if Eli tries to run again? I volunteer to go, I am not sure if that was a good thing or not. Arion tries to find a way to help Reid but realizes there is nothing he can do. Earlier that day he found a letter from Vyktor stating he had business to attend to and please keep watch on Kirin. Then Arion tries to get me to accept a letter from him giving me custody. No way, we are trying to figure out if Vyktor was the Monk killed last night. Kirin is runs like a monkey and doesn't listen, Sasha is better behaved than that kid. There is no way I need that kind of stress. While Arion and I were out I found a couple of the Red Back clan stalking an unsuspected hooded figure. They were following him into the alley. I told Arion that we needed to follow them, he doesn't understand I have to argue with him and convince him that I won't attack unless they do. Then he says he doesn't fight. How ever heard of a Man who doesn't fight? We come around the buildings so we are facing the Lizardmen, warn the cloaked figure that they are being followed just as the Lizardmen grab him, he pulls a sword and starts attacking the one that grabed him. I pull both daggers, to attack the one Sasha is after. I killed that one just as a third is coming down the alley. I through my dagger and killed that one too. Arion comes back with the police just in time to see the killing blow of the 3rd one. I hear the man say "Dru is that you?" I politly say he must have the wrong person and give him a wink, it is Dunin, where did he come from. How did he survive and not Whestyn? Just hearing that name stabbs at my heart. Why? Dunin follows and we talk a little. Then Arion invites Dunin to Reid's to clean up. While he is cleaning up Arion interigates me. I mention that I knew him he was someone I knew in childhood. Arion says he can't stay at Reids. I talk with Dunin in the garden and find that he has been tracking the Red backs. How he still takes my breath away. I explained that I changed my name and how I came upon these people. He convinces me to tell them where I am from and the truth about how I know him. So I told Jen and Arion the truth about coming from Spiritwood and that the village was destroyed. There is rumor that kids are being kidnapped mainly girls. Dunin and I have agreed to be Guides for the rest of the group and travel to Oriscina. Besides this will allow me to track more of the red back clan, and how that group be safe at the hands of a child. I just don't see how Arion is going to keep them safe. Granted Kirin is a good little fighter, he still is a kid. Last night I dreamed of the time before, before the attack when just hearing Dunin's voice would put a smile on my face. When he touch me and send chills through my entire body. Watching him wishing he would notice me, I swear if he ever kissed me I would just melt away. The dream was cut way to short by the horrid nightmare of the village being attacked. What have I done. I wake in the morning with a feeling of doom, what do I really have to live for. I ruin everything I touch, Dunin tells me to let it go and move on from it but I don't know how. How do you move on from this. I fear the only way I may be able to move on is after all the red back's are dead. Then maybe I will find the strength. We are leaving today Jen is so lucky, she has men fighting for her love and I can't even get one to see my love. The kids are definatly trouble makers, they always seem to find trouble. I get back to Reid's today to find Carter (Jen's fiance) at the door, two kids at the window mentioning something about Arion and Jen being off making babies. We decide to sneak out of town with Jen hidden under everything on the cart so Carter doesn't see her. Yeah and Reid has this big huge black cat. We decide a larger group will make it easier for traveling and group up with some Gypsies on thier way out of town. Now it's all kids. I wake up to Kirin attacking some robbers/lizardmen. I spring to attack, Sasha is working at helping, Arion can cast spells, Jen protected the gypsie kids with a dagger. Kirin is the one who really likes to fight, like he is invensible. One of the Gypsie girls plays the violin well, and the pony is attacked by something I have never seen before. It burrowed it's way into the stomach, only leaving scatching marks. I thought I saw something but not sure what. I must pay better attention. We lost a couple of the Gypsie's and had fix some wheels and make adjustments on the 12th we reach Oriscina and meet Arion's Mom, she seems nice enough offered us a warm dry place to stay and a tour of the town the next day.
