Andalla

The princess looked out the window, a sigh lifting from her lips as she waited for the midnight bell to toll. For once she looked troubled, the future an unkown to her except the next few hours. She could try to fight what was to come, but she'd seen how each way ended, blood. So when the bell tolled she climbed to her feet and slipped from her room. Gaurds patrolled the palace, but she used her ability to make her way about them, slipping out without them being any the wiser. She walked to where she knew her kidnappers would gather, the occult finalizing their plans. She stepped into the clearing just before they broke up and kept her head low, their were guards, servants, people she knew and cared for that would have died this night if she did not do as she was doing. They seemed suprised that their quary would simply present herself as she was, but here she was, ripe for the taking, and they did.

Mirage was sitting in a pub with a drink in her hand when Azdrubeal walked in. He sat next to her and said "I have some good news and some bad news."
Mirage put down her drink "What's the good news first, then the bad news."
Azdrubeal sat next to Mirage "I have acquired news about the location of Princess Yevain, the bad news is that there may be many complications along the way."
Mirage stood up "What are we waiting for, we leave now and you can explain on the way."
Azdrubeal stood also "As you wish Mirage."
They both departed the pub and began their long journey.

Able was sitting at the bar when he over heard Azdrubeal and Mirage conversation. He put his glass down and place a coin on the counter and headed after them keeping his distance so not to arouse suspicion.

In the alleyway, Cyrus shivered as he nuzzled the dark yellow scarf of his a bit closer to his face. He gazed out of the alleyway, looking at the moon and stars and marveling at how bright they were that night. All of a sudden, he saw two figures walk off nearby him followed by another sneaking a bit farther away from the two.

'heh, must be a theif' He thought to himself as he stood still trying not to make a sound to distract the third man. As they all kept on going, Cyrus still stayed behind motionless. After a few minutes he smirked ' That theif must be getting at least SOME money, they didn't look like the richest people out there....but..... ' he once again thought to himself as he slowly got up. His smile got wider " I need some cash too, and they always say there is no honor among thieves .... " He looked around, leaped between the buildings and landed on the roof. Quickly and stealthily following them with an eagle-like gaze

Mirage and Azdrubeal mounted horses and started riding out of town.
To all watching eyes they seemed to vanish at the gates, Azdrubeal using his powers to cover the way they went.
"Are we invisible to all watching eyes now Azdrubeal?"
"Yes we are, although I suspect we were being followed before the use of my powers."
"Very well, we shall turn around and see who it was that was following us."
"If that is what you wish Mirage."
They turn around and ride back into town to see who was following them.
Mirage, still under Azdrubeal's powers, says out loud "Name yourselves or perish."

(Able made sure you couldn't tell .... all well)

Able walked out of the shadows and bowed "my name is Able and i didn't mean to impose on you, but I'm also searching for Princess Yevain and wonder if i could come along with you?" Able said standing up.

((Azdrubeal has the power of sight, also we're invisible so you bowed to thin air))

(well he know some is there for he know he could of bowed in wrong direction)

Cyrus fell backwards as he heard the voice appear from nowhere as he saw the other person following the two hide in the shadows, then he snickered a bit as the thrid then left the shadows and bowed to thin air ' guy must be stupid, first off, he got caught, and second, he's bowing to nothin ' he then eyes the area, trying to find any source of the sound, but there was nothing, not even a single soul besides him and the other man below him

'......maybe.....a ghost....' He never really believed such things but that was the only solution he had, he also began to think that since they...or perhaps it could see that man, then they were able to see HIM as well, he does a double take again, still seeing nothing but thenjumping off the roof and landing nearby the other man, drawing his sword out and casually placing the blade on his shoulder " Ya better show yerself 'fore I say MY name, I don't trust people who hide in the shadows...never know what they're gonna do. " he says to the air, looking around a bit to see if they would respond

Mirage nodded to Azdrubeal "Do as he says Azdrubeal."
Azdrubeal reluctantly lets down the illusion and looking at Cyrus says "I'm Azdrubeal and this is Mirage."
Mirage then turns to look at Cyrus "Now tell us your name. And put the sword away, nobody needs to die here."

" I fully agree with those terms " Cyrus said as he slipped his sword back into his sheath on his back and looked at both riders dead on " Cyrus Wester " he nodded at them " Neat trick you pulled there uh... Ah.. Azdrubeal. I hear all three of you are searching for the princess then. " he smirked at them as he inwardly breathed a sigh of relief ' heheh, I knew it wasn't ghosts '

Mirage looked at Cyrus "Does that mean that you're also looking for the princess? If so, you're welcome to join us in our quest."
Mirage turns to Able "You are also welcome to join us if you wish."

smirks again " heh why not I'll come, from what I'm hearing in the taverns and on the street, it'd be suicide if'n I went in alone. "

News traveled fast, even from one realm to another. It appeared that the Yevain princess had disapeered during the night. No note, no signs of struggle, no dead guards, it was as if she had never existed. The inigius did not like this. Normally she would not care much more than to see what type of chaos could be strewn from this. But it was rumored that she was the incatnate of the tides of twilight.

It didn't take long for her to gather her things and open a portal to the mortal realm. She intended to go to a tavern she knew well, to see if she could pick up any more information. She aimed for the city gates and stepped through, only to step into the middle of several strangers. To them it would appear as if a woman, about six two, with long black hair and violet eyes just simply popped into existence. Her eyes flashed around, feeling exposed in a way she didn't like. Her dress was for attracting those with the information she needed, and her height and ears made sure she'd be noticed even if the revealing dress did not, but it wouldn't help her to explain how she simply popped into existence.

Orphus had been minding his business, even after three people had left didn't bother him. For all he cared, they could have been theives plotting their next target. He sat alone at a table, collecting his thoughts. After his parents murder he sought no need or want to have any kind of relationship, even on friendly basis. He raised his hand to order his second glass of water, impervious to anything that happened around him.
