Makes pleasant small talk with Lisa about the weather and such, trying to be real polite and friendly...except for the nasty glances he keeps throwing at Arina, who's making faces at him...

She blushes at the nearness of Johan - someone she has just met and knows nothing about. She averts her eyes from the others at the table...

Gungadin, after waking up for the second time that day, sits up and rubs his head. He groans a few times, then looks over at Malcontent which, had it been human, would have been laughing hysterically at that time. Gungadin realized this and scowled a
his horse, then leapt back up onto its back and rode toward Gaultheria. He takes the horse to the stables, then walks up to the front door of the castle. He notices a figure sitting under a tree, and waves friendily in that general direction. He grins
to himself, then knocks on the door. A few seconds later, a servant answers. "Ah... hi there. My name's Gungadin. Uh... I do hope I have the right address... is this Gaultheria..?" he asks, pointing to a spot on a map.

She looks at him quizzically for a moment. "Alex? Ah, yes, Alex. I'm doing quite well. It's good to hear that you've found a place for yourself, and some skills as well. I would ask that you put away your sword. Lucien isn't too happy when pe
ple have weapons drawn in my vicinity, for, as you see, I do not carry a sword on my person." She motions to a well built man, standing about 6 feet tall, who is glowering in Alex's direction, his hand on the hilt of his sword.

Hail Lady Poca! How have you been? It's been a long time since I've seen you... a very long time... Alex pauses for a moment, then enters the castle and continues to speak, So, I see you're running your own country. I myself, have persued other...
things. Alex draws his blade out. He swings it around a little, much to the dismay of the guards, but he keeps it at a safe distance. After this display he sets the blade down tip first and rests his hands on its hilt. Like it? Picked it up on a
ecent excursion. Oh, also I met up with Emperor Striker, I've been appointed Emissary of the Empire. Hi, we're your neighbors... Which is mostly what brings me here, besides my usual artifact and spell hunt... So how have you been? After this wordly d
splay, Alex waits patiently for a responce.

Doesn't really sit down, but continues to examine the architecture, though now it's as if assessing the military vulnerabilities of the place as opposed to the beauty...wanders aimlessly about the castle...

A figure can just barely be seen from Gaultheria- it is the form of a cloaked person riding a huge bull. The person is unarmed and appears totally defenseless, save for her bovine companion. She runs a hand through the inch-long blond hair on her head,
nd her dark blue eyes examine the horizon. She is hanging onto the gilded horns of her traveling companion (whose name is Matt- an odd name for a farm animal, but nobody called Nien can really say anything about odd names), who plods along at a steady pa
e, like a battleship cleaving the meadow. His hair is sleek and black, and he has a nose ring. Nein still doesn't know why she is riding him, but she does know that the place they are going is called Gaultheria, and they should arrive there by nightfall

Smacks Arina lightly on the back of the head when no one's looking, and sits as close to Miss Lisa as possible without being over obvious that that's what he's doing. He addresses Lady Poca. Greetings, my Lady. I take it you are the mistress of
his castle? I bring greetings from Sir Mastermind the Paladin, ruler of Morrowind.

She looks up upon hearing the knock, and the sound of people entering the Great Hall. "Oh, I have other guests. They must think me a terrible hostess. Please, excuse me for a moment." She rises and greets those already in the Great Hall, not
cing her niece's slightly pink complexion. She laughs at the thought that perhaps her niece had a greeting like her's... She then leaves the Great Hall and approaches the gate just as Lucien, the head guard, begins to open it. She smiles warmly at the
an on the other side. "Greetings, Sir. My name is Lady Poca, and I am the mistress of this castle. Please, come in. There are others waiting in the Great Hall." While she speaks to him, she notices the man sitting beneath the tree and sends a
ental message to Lucien, telling him to make sure the man has anything he requires while asking him why he's sitting out there. She then extends a hand in greeting to the man in front of her.

She blushes prettily at Johan's attention and averts her eyes for a moment. "Thank you, sir. It is nice to make your acquaintance as well. Please, follow me to the Great Hall." She Turns and walks in the direction the other two went.

Nein looks up at the sky- it is a lovely blue color, and she is in a field of some sort. She slowly realizes that she remembers nothing about the past few moments, or the past few days, for that matter. She hopes she hasn't done anything worth regrettin
, and she thinks of her home- she knows she will never return to her own time now. SHe looks to her left and sees a cow grazing contentedly in the field, which is not fenced in. The cow sees her and begins to approach slowly. Nein realizes with some emb
rrassment that it is a bull. The bull says "Hey! You're wearing leather! That's not very nice, you know. We weren't created so you could have nice boots." Nein looks down at her thick boots, feeling ridiculous and guilty, and finally says "Well, it's
ot as though I killed the cow myself. Besides, I need something on my..." She stops in midsentence as she realizes that she is talking to a bull. "Well, " said the bull, "get on my back. We have a long journey ahead of us, you know." Nein stares with
incredulity, but she follows the bull's instructions- it isn't her place to argue with a huge sentient beast. "Where are we going?" she asks. "You know very well where", said the bull, and he headed toward a castle in the distance.

The figure finally reaches the castle. Looking down, he glides to a solid landing. When he toches ground, he folds his wings in. The figure in fact is a birdman. The head, wings and talons of a bird, yet the arms and torso of a human. (Except the fact
hat the body is covered in plumage.) A specially tailored navy blue cloak covers his body. A hood covers half of his head, while half of it sticks out. He sheathes his sword and walks over to the door. Glancing over he sees a swordsman underneath a tree.
ooking closer, he pauses for a moment... shakes his head, and walks over to the barn. Five minutes later a cloaked figure steps out of the barn. His face is obscured by a hood. In one arm is a large sack. He walks over to the door and knocks. Hail! A
ervant of the Emperor Striker, sovereign of the Strikehavian Empire, has arrived!

Walks into the gate, turns and stands behind Lisa, and makes kissy-faces at Johan, who turns beet red as a result...she grins impishly and retreats to Loranar's side before Johan can get un-embarrased enough to react.

Nods to Miss Lisa, glances at the guard questioningly and gestures at his weapons belt...getting no apparent response, he proceeds to wander into the castle, gazing around and taking in the architecture...He appears to be utterly entranced...

Nearly loses both his eyes, they bug out so far...A pleasure to make your acquaintace, Lisa. I am Johan, the Storm Master. He bows and kisses her hand gallantly, and then turns and glares as Arina obviously stifles a laugh.

A small, shaven-headed man dressed in faded and slightly threadbare robes walks slowly to the castle gates. He does not seem to be tired, though it is obvious he has walked a great distance. He looks over at the swordsman sitting beneath the tree and
nods politely to him, smiling slightly. He then steps up to the gate and gently knocks twice. Though the sound is quiet, it seems to travel with an eerie clarity throughout the castle, so that all within can hear. The small man is calm and quiet, but s
ems to be quite happily amused by something.

The man walking the south path finally reaches the outskirts of the castle. Solemnly, he asks someone working in a nearby field where he is. The reply is Gaultheria Castle in the realm of Lady Poca. "As good a place as any, I suppose," the swordsman re
arks, and continues on his way towards the gate. Still watching were he walks rather than what's in front of him, the common looking man eventually reaches the gates with no mishap. He almost knocks, but stays his hand inches from he door. He turns aro
nd, finds a small tree, and sits under its branches, pondering. He slowly shakes his head from side to side, but says nothing.

"Oh, dear me..." Gungadin moans as he rubs his continually aching head. He looks up at the sky, and realizes that he's slept well past noon once again. He rolls over, tries for a quick, 5-minute nap, yet ultimately fails and end up getting up any
ay. He neatly packs up his belongings, carefully folding everything, then quickly shoves it all into a bag. He then whistles for his steed, Malcontent, who comes langorously through the trees toward him. He jumps up onto the horse and rides through the
forest toward the strange new place called Gaultheria with an odd feeling of Deja Vu. Memories begin to flood his mind; memories of which he has no idea why he should be remembering them. Visions of large armies marching, outstanding magical feats, and
ddly deformed creatures fill his mind as he rides along quietly... and gets clotheslined by a low tree branch. Gungadin falls to the ground and manages to get his 5-minute nap after all...

A guard opens the door. Just behind him, stands a girl, about eighteen years old, with long black hair, green eyes, and fair skin. She smiles at the new arrivals. "My aunt Poca is... um... busy right now. But please come in. If you would like
nything to drink, I will ask a maid to bring it to you." She stands back and extends and arm toward the Great Hall, in warm welcome.

Her face takes on a pinkish hue and she smiles kindly at the Knight before her. She places a hand under his chin and brings his face up so his eyes meet hers. "Rise, good Knight. You should not kneel to me." She smiles again as he stands.
"I do not remember calling you here... But I remember someone calling to me through the mists of the night. I could not see him, for it was dark, and so was he. But now you are here, and there is no real explanation for how that could be, short of
destiny or fate. So please, join me here for a time. I would be most honored to have you as my guest. A room is already prepared for you, for in my dreams, you said you would arrive tonight. Now, let us sit and speak more of these dreams. I would kn

Hikes up to the crest of the hill, and looks down on the castle. He waits a few moments for Arina and Loranar to catch up to him, and gestures at the castle on the next hill.
That's got to be it...Gaultheria. Now we get to see why Mastermind w
s so anxious to send a new ambassador...
The three emissaries from Morrowind hike down the hill and back up the next one, and Johan bangs on the door of the castle...
Greetings! I represent the ruler of Morrowind, Sir Mastermind the Paladin!
We have come as ambassadors from his keep in Stormwind, and wish to discuss the matters of embassy and diplomatic relations with your new ruler!

A solitary shadow passes over the fields and villages of Gaultheria. Most are only able to catch a glimpse of the figure. Some mistakenly would call it a dragon. Those that recive a better view would know that it is not a dragon, but most are still con
used as to who or what it is. It appears to have two arms, and two legs. In one arms is a large sack, the contents unknown. In the other a sword. The figure appears to flying towards the castle.

Along the south road to Gaultheria Castle, a chilly wind blows. A lone figure walks the path, looking down at where he walks. He wears only the common clothes of a swordsman with no armor. A large sword is strapped to his back. His hair ruffles in the
wind as he looks up to see the castle with his brown/gray eyes. He sighs lowly. He picks up his pace towards the gates...

Bustling servants fill the hall. A lady with golden hair and saphire eyes stands at the head of the room, directing servants in their tasks, and offering advice. She pats a child on his head and smiles at an old woman slowly sweeping
floors. "You're doing a wonderful job, Gertrude. Don't forget to rest if your leg pains you any." The old woman smiles. The lady is approached by an armored man. She smiles at him and directs him to a corner where a large chest is laying.
"Thank you, Gerolf. Just take it to the Embry cottage. Tell Mrs. Embry that I hope the clothing fits the children well, and that if the food runs out before Aric's leg heals enough, just send word to me." The man bows, and leaves with the chest. The
lady sits, and looks at the closed doors. " Well, we are ready for our guests. Let's hope they arrive soon."
