"Thank you for the offer Kyt but you know me well enough by now to know that I do one thing and one thing only when I come to taverns" he says grinning while motioning to the barmaid to bring him more ale.

"And for the record milady. . . .I know Lyonesse like the back of me hand. You were perfectly safe with me"

Crispian listened as they exchanged words, inviting Tobyas over with a nod of his head.

carys tiredly walked along the path she swore would have brought her out above the town of Humberton.


She wished now that she had rested a bit longer and then used her magic to get her home.


She found herself upon a small hill and heard the sounds of the town she sought.


With a lighter step she ambled down quickly, glad she was wearing her simple gown, and hurried towards the town.


When she got to the clearing and saw a lone slightly run-down tavern her heart sank.


The smells of the warm food invited her closer and she realized she was famished.

She stopped in her tracks when she heard various loud raucious voices all in different languages. She also that she understood the Midgardian language. She heard the sound of merriment and good times.


The circlet on her wrist glowed a soft pulsating green hue and she knew she was safe.


She took a quick cleasning breath opened the door and walked in.


The sight that met her eyes warmed her to her soul. Twas a sight that would have brought tears of joy to the Goddess herself.


All of the realms were here, at peace, laughing and enjoying good times.

"Tis the way she wishes it to be " marveled Carys. "This be the vision of my path."

She stepped in closer and looked around to see if there be a place for her to sit and rest and take in this wonderous moment.


She stood there for a moment in search of her place within this establishment.

"I have to admit," Crispian said with a creeping blush from collar to hair-line, "that Toby and I took a bit of a turn while you were being chased by some trolls." He accepted the new tankard of ale greatfully and took a deep draw off it.

"Aye, I remember well enough what it is you do best...as long as you remember that the last time you indulged so ended in a night of dancing and memory loss, my friend!" Glancing towards the door and recognizing the small, frail figure with a swollen belly.


"Carys! Pray join us, sister mine!" Standing and motioning her sister over, Kytania grinned devilishly at a handsome celt and winked before once again taking her seat and going to work on her trencher of steaming hot stew.


Glancing at Crispian as she chewed thoughtfully. "Perhaps none of us took a wrong turn this eve, but were meant to stumble upon this place."

carys turned at the sound of her sister's voice and friendly face.


"KYT!" she exclaimed when she saw her. She slowly made her way to the table. She hugged her sister and turned to see her best friend Nerul.


"NERUL !" she turned and hugged him as well.


She looked over and seeing 2 of high esteem with the realm curtseyed to them both.

Nerul gets up offering his seat to Carys and grumbling at Kyts comment. "Welcome Lady Carys" he said returning his good friends embrace.

Crispian grinned. "Don't let the outfits fool you, we're just simple lads at heart." He sketched a bow in return. "Crispian Pontiff," he said by way of introduction. "And this is Tobyas Ulyanov, of the Knights of the Crest."


Toby inclined his head respectfully. "Fair ladies of the Realm flock even to distant point I see!" His smile was wide and genuine and his eyes danced with a hint of mischief.

"I must warn you gentleman with 2 of the 3 sisters here this could prove to be . . . . . a rather interesting night. If the 3rd one should happen to come through the door. Make haste for he nearest exit" He said with a chuckle. "So Carys tell me. . .Where is Ari tonight?"

carys smiles at nerul and slumps into the chair exhausted.


"e are sweet as always nerul." carys replies softly in her lilting voice.


"I see I not be the only one who hast lost her way." she smiles


"Tis a glorious sight Kyt, to see thee again, and to witness this miracle."


She waits for the barmaid to come closer so she may ask for some refreshment.


"This be my path, Kyt, tis the one the Goddess wishes me on." She watches her beautiful sister eat and watch all the handsome men within the room.


"This good to see all the Goddess' children playing well together."
