Then we will go from there.

IC:

It was a cold dark night in the middle of January. Miaaa was the Cleric on duty at the local church of the moon goddess. It was your typical night a paladin or two dropping in nothing spectacular really. Miaaa lead the blessings on each of these prayers for the paladins that entered.

Miaaa was just about to retire to her chambers for the night when a young girl came running in. She was Hysterical and distressed. Miaaa tried to calm her down as best she could but nothing seemed to work. Finally Miaaa broke down and went and awoke the head cleric.

The head cleric was an imposing human with shoulder auburn hair and green eyes.. He walked in flowing white robes embroidered with gold and silver. His presence demanded respect and Miaaa bowed to him as he walked out to the young girl. "Father sorry to wake you but this girl is beyond my ability to calm or heal. I figured you could help her."

The Father walked right over to the girl and placed his hand on her head. He began to speak in a prayer to the girl. "Moon goddess please hear my prayer. Moon goddess please grant me the power to calm and heal this girl." With that there was a blue glow that began to form around the priests hands. He reached out and touched the girl on the forehead and the blue glow slowly faded from his hands and surrounded the young girl.

After a few seconds the girl became calm and looked up at the priest with a look of gratitude in her eyes. "Now child can you tell us why you came in here so hysterical." The father asked her kindly.

The father couldn't get much out of the girl even in her calmed state all he seemed to get was, "They are coming they are coming," over and over again. The father took the kid and laid her down in a spare room. He left her there to get some rest. As he left the room he went back to the main room.

"Miaaa come here please. I've got something to ask of you, and I know you may not think your ready for it, but if you don't start out somewhere you'll never get there. I want you to go out into the world and find out who is coming and why. I want you to try and stop it by any means neccisary. I'll be here to help you when you need but you are the one I trust to handle this and build your own strength. I believe you are the one that is me my successor as the High Priest of the Moon Goddess. The road won't be easy and the trials will be tough but you will succeed i have no doubt."

Miaaa thanks the high priest and smiles at him. "I will set out in the morning father. What will I need to take with me?"

"Miaaa just pack some change of clothes everything else will be provided for you at the expense of the church. I wish you luck and I will see you in the morning. Now go get some rest your going to need it." The father pushes the young cleric to her room and turns to watch over the church.

Miaaa got a restful sleep, though elves don't really sleep its more of a meditation and she was ready to set out in the morning after only about 4 hours. She fixed her flowing golden hair into a homely yet attractive look and donned her breastplate. She would probably need it for her journey. She dug through her closet and found her rapier, she hilted it just incase. She knew the church would supply her with a mace and the rest of her equipment. She walked out of her room and was quickly sent off by the father into the wilderness.

As she rode off on her horse she looked back at the church, thinking how odd it was that the church was out in the middle of nowhere no village nothing. Her mind then began to wander she had never been off by herself and she wasn't prepared to deal with the wilderness. She came upon a clearing in the woods and decided to sit down for a rest after a couple hours being out from the church.
 
Drec

IC: I looked at Ezmi a bit ahead of me on her mare. I did my best not to think about my sore feet, but after this long of a march that was dificult at best. "Ezmi remind me where are we going and why?"
 
Ezmi

*OOC* since ravenloft will be unable to play for the next few days I'll NPC Ezmi don't assume this is her personality or anything its just to keep things moving until he gets back.

****
IC:
Ezmi looked around the woods uncertain of where they were going or why. She looked back at her traveling buddy and replied to his question. "I'm not exactly sure why we are here but we should go in that direction i think." Ezmi said pointing to the west.
 
Drec:

OOC: Silly me, I forgot. Well dumb way to start the thread, my bad, so forth.

IC: I looked again at Ezmi. "Just tell me we arn't heading that way because of some drunken bard. Tell me your smarter then that."
 
Ezmi

"I knew we shouldn't of listened to that drunken bard." She said hitting her head. "Well maybe we should make it up to that clearing ahead and then rest and figure out what to do?" She looked at the human standing next to her awaiting his answer.
 
Miaaa

Miaaa sat at the clearing and planned her course of action. She really had no clue about the outside world anymore. She had been with the church for quite some time. She pulled out her map and frowned at it. She really had no clue where she was going or how to follow the thing properly. She looked out to the other side of the clearing and noticed 2 travelers a man and a woman coming her way.
She grabbed the hilt of her rapier just incase and stood at the ready just incase.
 
Raven sat up in the tree stalking his morning meal when he spied something in the clearing up a head he placed his bow and the arrow back in the quiver and quietly went to check it out.
 
Drec:

IC: "Drunken bards, drunken bards, drunken bards. Ezmi becaus of you werea stereotype." I looked at the girl. "Correction becaue of you a sterotype, you were the punchline for a joke ong before I met you."
 
he could see the girl clearly she had his back to him she smiled as he noticed the clerical robes "we dont get many clerics out here this could be interesting" he thought. he climbed down for the tree he was hiding in and as quietly as he could walked over to her and taped her on the shoulder introducing himself with a bow " my name is Raven Starcatcher i am at your service madam cleric"
 
"Hello Raven Starcatcher, I am Miaaa cleric of the moongoddess. Its a pleasure to meet you." She extended her hand for a shake not aware of the dangers she put herself in by being so open out in the woods. Bandits and other evil people in the woods would take advantage of someone like her's gullibility.

"So what brings you out here Raven?" She smiled a smile that would melt the kings themselves.
 
he smiled at her as he said " i am just a simple hunter in search of a meal and what if i may ask are you doing out here" he took her hand and shook while casting a glace at the other two travelers
 
"Just a mission for the church." she smiled politely as her glance turned to the two travels up ahead in the clearing.
 
he gave a whistle and a hawk came flying down and landed on his shoulder. " where might you be headed on this mission if i may ask? you see we may be traveling in the same direction and it is all was safer to travel in larger numbers." his finger gently stroked the hawks head as he looked at the other two travelers.
 
"All i've seemed to gather is that 'They are Coming." The girl was quite cryptic but the high priest believes I may be the one to solve this riddle and has sent me out. I intend to continue heading East for awhile." she stopped talking for a second and read this guys aura lightly. It seemed alright by her. "Your welcome to follow me along this path if you like!"
 
"east ehhhh... i aint traveled to the east in a while sounds like fun to me count me in." he held out his hand for her to shake and flashed a big toothy grin at her beaming with excitement like a child on Christmas morning
 
She smiled and nodded Heading towards the east. "Glad to have some company. To be honest i don't think I could complete this on my own."
 
im glad to be tagging along i dont get many people out this way and what better things do i have to do then help someone in need
 
"Well would you happen to know the way to the closest eastern town then?" she asked shyly before looking ahead to the man and woman that still stood across from them.
 
he smiled as he said i shure would its about 5 miles from here a nice little walk i stop there for supplies every so offten but dont go farther east then that he turned his atention back to the other two as they aproached.
 
"Drec, you dolt, don't you know sarcasm when you hear it? No drunken bard told me where to go, its my gypsy blood you know, the nomad in me. I get a feeling and I follow it. Not to say YOU should, knowing you, you'd get a feeling in your breeches and follow it right to a good solid slap across the face! Now, quicken your pace, Inari is getting antsy." Ezmi said as she ran a hand along her mare's neck to sooth her. It had been a long slow journey, particularly due to their lack of purpose. Ezmi hated living without purpose, but since the days she spent with her former companions, purpose seemed to have slipped away, day by day. Until only Drec and she remained together. It was a wonder to her that the oaf had stuck with her, after all the verbal barbs she had cast at him. Either he had the heart of a saint to put up with her tongue, or he really was too dim to understand them... She honestly couldn't tell which.

So, on they went, making their way to the clearing up ahead.
 
the hawk on his shoulder squawked and flaped its wings restlessly as they watched the two travelers approach. " shh... its ok illiana whats got you so worked up" he said as he gently stroked the hawks head.
 
Miaaa clasped her sword hilt as she walked near the new comers. She felt they wouldn't be a threat but a young cleric has to be careful. she looked both them over and concluded that they weren't much of a threat even if they were hostile. She flashed them a smile "Hello."
 
he shruged his shoulder and let the hawk take flight " illiana go see if you can find anythig" he said waving the hawk off to the east and walked up to stand beside his new found companion his hand straying to his sword out of habit as he said " what do you think they want"
 
Whispering softly she spoke quietly. "They look like traveling vagabonds I don't think we have much to worry about. Their aura isn't evil at least."
 
" well thats good but sometings got illiana spooked and if its not them i dont know what it is" he said as he looked at the hawk flying off to the east
