Session+Six

Following the emotional explosion the night before, the group is rather subdued at the beginning of this session. After a rather quick breakfast, Arion takes Eli with him to meet Drayton’s messenger, Fallon. Arion has decided to accept Drayton’s quest, and must now tell the griffin rider of his decision. Eli, of course is fascinated by the griffin accompanying Fallon and asks if she can have one some day. Kids. Upon hearing Arion’s agreement to Drayton’s request, Fallon hands over yet another scroll. This one details the specifics of what it is that Arion is to find, and informs him that a guide by the name of Kaiden Reese will meet him in 2 days time to begin their journey. Arion discusses things with his mother, and Shaeria agrees to take Eli with her to Nys. He then has a little discussion with both Eli and Kirin about what the future holds. He explains that Shaeria can only bring one person with her on her trip. Eli decides to go with her to Nys, and Kirin sadly decides that it is for the best that he continues to keep Jen safe. Also that morning, Lia discovers that Dunin had been there to witness her brother’s death, though he didn’t have the time to burry her family’s remains. Jen eventually approaches Arion and offers to help him with what ever it is that is troubling him. He agrees that help would be welcome, and informs her and Kirin that they will be leaving town shortly. With tension still high between Arion, Lia, and Dunin, Arion decides it is for the best that the two know as little as possible. He finally informs Lia that he will be leaving town for a tour that one of his contacts suggested he take. Lia speaks with Jen after hearing about Arion’s departure, and Jen informs her that Arion did not ask anyone to join him; that she asked to go with. Lia confides that she does not trust Arion. She believes he is hiding something, and she is afraid of what it may be. She also mentions that she does not believe that Arion can possibly keep the group safe since he does not fight. She offers to join with the group, in hopes of tracking more of the Hissians, and adding protection. She also claims to know the area well, and offers to act as something of a guide for the group. So, eventually Lia and Dunin, Arion, Jen, Kirin, and Sasha leave with Kaiden for Athal.
