Chance looks away avoiding eye contact so she doesn't notice that something deep down inside him is bugging him, "I tried, I really did, but that is the past, I feel your brother is still alive. I feel him inside me. Your brother and I was bonding while I was there. I told him that I couldn't risk helping him escape, because we both could've been killed. But I told him I should return with his sister." He turns his head back around so she may see in to his grey eyes.

Shea smiled at him pleased with his answer. "Yes I would like to kill Riccolai personally so if your ready for the journey let's get going." If Chance looked closely he could notice her fangs because Shea forgot they had lengthened. Also when she mentioned the word kill her eyes turned red almost just barely flickered in her green eyes.

"NO, were not going yet, not until we find out about Jessiordia. Please, if we leave and she is lying, then she could follow us and kill us out in the woods and we would be helpless. Your fangs, you're not human. Are you?" Chance looks over at Jessiordia to see what she is doing.

" I am human, I don't see what's so strange. About this, when did you leave. Things might have happened while you were away." Jessiordia knew they had been talking about her. Her town had been captured. That part was true. "Besides, how do you know this Don Riccolai didn't tell you everything?" YOu could never tell if someone was hiding the truth from you. Oh sure, you can tell if they're lying. But you can't tell if they've hidden the truth.

Shea let Chance handle Jessiordia while she went up to introduce herself to the new girl that came in. "Hi welcome to the inn here. Don't mind them over there. My name is Shea. Nice to meet you." Shea sat in a chair across from her.
Also a waitress came by and asked the newcomer if she would like anything.

Chance looks over at Jessiordia with the most astounding look, "Jessiordia, I know when people are lying and hiding the truth. You can tell by the way they speak. It is a gift I was born with and wish I didn't have, because that is the reason that Do Riccolai made me Dungeon Master because I could drag the truth out of people. But I'm not going to drag it out of you, no, because I know you are hiding the truth to protect yourself. I too have done that. And I left 4 days ago. I've been here 2 days because it is a 2 day travel from Don Riccolai's lair to here. So now tell me your side, and the truth please. Nobody here is going to harm you." He looks over at Shea and says to her, "Your fangs, you're not human are you? I've never met another person who had fangs like me. You see, I'm a bloodsucker. Natural born. So tell me about you.

"I'm not sent to harm either one of you. I'm here of my master's accord, to protect you two. However, I was not suposed to make this known to either of you, for what reason I do not know. I do not know if I am a bloodsucker or not, I have never heard of them. I may be, my parents left me with the Magickers when I was less than a year old. I learned their trade, and am now a magician." Her eyes told the truth, that this was the truth. Every single last word. Jessiordia had no idea why they couldn't know. "Don't tell Shea, alright. I'm only supposed to keep the truth from her, my master said nothing of you."

Chance looks at Jessiordia, "When I was talking about fangs, I was talking to Shea. As for you, why didn't you tell me sooner, and who is your master?"

"I'm sorry about that. I didn't tell you sooner because I thought you might tell her." she whispered softly so that Shea could not hear. "As for my master, I do not know. Only true-born Magickers are aloud to know his name, I can only call him master. I think I may have seen him once, after I woke from a dream that told me to protect you. There was a fleeting figure in the shadows, it gave me the same feeling as when I walked into the bar and you were asleep. A strange, cold feeling, like something isn't right."

"Well, I didn't know it had anything to do with you. I thought you had just drunk too much ale. So far I've seen the figure twice, once after my dream, and once just now. I figured it was the trick of the light: but I suppose it isn't." Jessiordia took a sip of her tea and then sputtered. "Do you think, Chance, that maybe... Don Riccolai is my master, and he wanted you to think I was the one that was poisoning you? He might have given me the dream, and then put the potion in your food."

"If so, that means you have a false purpose here. You are a decoy, so he can make a clean kill."

"I don't know. That's my assumption, you obviously don't need protection. I might be able to help, though. I can heal and fight, I'm a red mage. Maybe it would be better if I did come with you, we may have to pass through the village of the Magickers, they aren't very friendly to travelers. You don't want to know what they eat. I don't, but they do."

"Ok, you're in, BUT, if you mess up or put our lives in jeopardy. You're dogmeat. We will need to confront Shea. By the way, Why can't we can't Shea your true story. I think we should, then maybe she won't think of you the way she does."

"I guess so. The thought that Don Riccolai is my master never occured to me before. I suppose we should tell her, but not in front of the other girl over there." She drank the last of her tea and got up out of her seat.

Are you seeing things, because the only people here are me, you, Shea, and the Innkeeper. There is nobody else. We can go to my room and talk, it is private."

"Alright. But I'm positive Shea was talking to someone. Did she perhaps already leave?" Jessiordia began to walk over to Shea, but decided that might not be such a good idea. "Maybe you should tell her."

"Don Riccolai has special powers to put things in people's minds. Maybe Shea is talking to an imaginary thing that Don Riccolai put in her mind. She hasn't left yet, I told her I would go with her. And she is giving me time to figure you out. Which I've already done. We should walk over together and tell her."

"Alright, I guess so." She walked over to Shea, waiting for Chance to get there as well. She waited for him to start, because Jessiordia was afraid that Shea might not listen. She'd probably listen to Chance, on the other hand.

Chance starts following Jessiordia over to Shea, "Shea, I have figured it out, Jessiordia isn't sent to kill us, her master, whom she doesn't know his name, sent her to protect us on our journey. I have made it clear to her that if she does anything to harm us in any way, shape, or form. I am going to eat her, bones and all. So I hope you will do as I am doing and trust her, for a while."

Jessiordia shuddered at the thought of being eaten, she had heard about what bloodsuckers sometimes did. It would probably be worse than the Magickers eating human flesh... But she wouldn't hurt either one of them. In her right mind... Jessiordia remembered a time when she was put under a trance by an elder, you knew what you were doing, but couldn't control your movements.

"SO you see, I actually Magicker blood in me. If I didn't then I wouldn't know what they eat. Because you are the first person to come in this INN and talk about them. So I can make it through the Magicker town. My mother was from there. And my father was a bloodsucker, he never told us where he was from. But after I was born my father turned around and ate my mother. Kind of Gruesome, but I adapted to their ways and hang around the Magicker town all the time. I even went to school there many moons ago."

"I'm suprised I don't recognize you, then. I've lived there all my life and know pretty much everyone." Right now, Jessiordia was trying to think of a Chance. Was he perhaps lying? Who knows, she would just have to trust him.

Shea looked up at them with her emerald eyes assessing the information they gave her. "I believe you." She looked at Jessiordia. "I've never heard of your kind but I am a Carpathian female. My people have all the same kinds of power a vampire has except we do not kill for pleasure. So in other words I'm harmless unless you cross me. I don't eat human flesh or bones, but I drink their blood. Even to the point of death."

Looking from the two of them, Jessiordia was a bit unsteady. Was she the only one that would travel in this company, not having the ability to eat or drink something of a human? Sure, the Magickers did it, but she wasn't Magicker blood. "I won't cross you." she said positively, but still. That figure that had put the potion in Chance's food and given her the dream, could he or she posess her too?

Shea smiles a genuine one. "So since we have established that you are coming along. Why not we get started? I say we go saddle our horses and ride out before dark settles."

"I agree." She smiled a fake smile and began to walk towards the door, hiding her wand with her robe, as if no one outside the bar was supposed to know who she was. Carefully, Jessiordia raised her hood over her face and stod by the door, not wanting Don Riccolai to catch her alone.

Shea had seen her smile not reach her eyes distrusting her some now. But she was immortal, she worried none. Except about her brother who was a human. She went outside and saddled up her horse Savannah. Shea waited for Chance and Jessiordia her long red hair waving in the wind.

Jessiordia followed, and saddled up Faith, her albino freisan. Albino's were the only horses that the Magickers used, if one was born that wasn't, they would do what they did with humans unfamiliar to them. Whenever she could, Jessiordia would sneak off and set the foal free, bonding with it while it was in the wild. She knew about half of the horses in the wild by the magickers village, and she could ride most of them. About five mares were pregnant when she left, and three should have foaled by now. Jessiordia couldn't wait to get hom after all this mess and train them, or at least get to know the new ones.
