Quinn Culbertson is a 24 year old 265 pound man with brown hair and brown eyes adventurer. He as a muscular build that stands 6’5” tall a bit above average for the men in his village and he is skilled with pretty much any bladed weapon. He was born into a poor family and had to fight for everything he owned so when he grew up he decided to go on quests for the king as well as anyone else willing to hire him. He had a fair wealth built up for himself but he still remembered how it was to grow up poor so he sent money home to his family so that his mom and dad would have an easier life in there old age.


Quinn Lives in a town called Ravensreach. He was awoken from his sleep with pounding on the door of his house. He gets up to see what was going on and sees the king’s knights out the window standing in front of the door. He opens the door to hear them say “the king requests your presence at the castle at once.” He answers back with “ok tell the king I will be there as soon as I change into my clothes.” He shuts the door with a yawn and proceeds to change his clothes and armor. He heads to the castle to see what the king wanted him for he hoped it was for another quest.

He finally reaches the castle after a lengthy walk and he gets escorted to the public meeting chamber where he either has meeting with subjects. He waits for the king there so he starts looking around and sees a sexy woman waiting in the room with him. He doesn’t pay much attention to her because he didn’t know why she was there. He soon hears the knights announce that the king has entered the room and the king greets them. “The reason I have both called you here is the fact I need you both to head into the mountains to take out a bandit lord that has been causing us problems for the past month. They have been attacking merchant caravans that have been passing by the mountains. So pack two weeks’ worth of supplies and travel rations. You guys need to leave in the morning so you could use this day to either prepare and get to know one another that will be all.” The king left the room leaving Quinn and his partner to get to know one another. Quinn looks around still only seeing the one woman in the room so he walks over reluctantly and says “Hello my name is Quinn I guess we are going to be partners for this quest.”

Anabeth Jameshad been a 5'8 23 year old ball of fire. She had never been like the girls in Windsarrow. Most of them were raised to become wife's and mothers but with her home full of men and her mother having died when she was young she was taught to fight and be a warrior just like her siblings were.

A lot of people judged her father because of what he taught her but it made her strong and also made her one of the kings best warriors because she was so bold and brave.
She had long blond hair that stopped just below her shoulder blades and stormy grey eyes she got from her mother.

She had just gotten from town when she saw the Kings knights at her home and wondered why she was summoned. She had always followed the rules when it came to stopping crime for the kingdom and she figured that is what he wanted her for..

She noticed the man walk right past her once he entered the room and she found that normal. Most men believed because she was a woman she would be a weaker and more vulnerable on quest but she had proven tons of men wrong when she returned from most quest successful.

She saw the king enter his chamber and gave her a nod greeting her and the man who was in the chair beside her. She listened to him talk and sighed hearing the bandit lord and his crew were at it again with looting and stealing. She also was shocked that he's assigned her a partner and she was going to protest but the king had departed .

She saw it Register to the man that she was his partner and saw him extend his hand introducing himself " I guess we are.. My name is Anabwth.."

 

[jc199123]

Quinn shook his new partners hand and said to her “I’m not thrilled about taking you on the quest with me most women I have taken on quests tend to slow me down a lot and cause more trouble than they help with. Meet me at the north gate early in the morning and pack some hunting gear trail rations don’t taste the greatest.” He left before she could even respond to what he said. He walked to the various shops to get supplies that he put on the kings tab. He also went to the blacksmith’s shops to get his armor repaired and sword as well as his daggers sharpened.

He went home to pack some warm weather gear because the mountains this time of year are cold and it may be snowing. He couldn’t get it out of his head that he had to take some unknown woman with him and from the looks of her armor she was from a rich family. He didn’t like the idea of taking her but the king wanted her to go so he had to take her. He only slept a few hours before he set out to the stables to get his horse ready for it trip. He had a war horse he bought from a farm that only breeds and sells them. He got it because he could carry a lot of gear and could travel long distances.

Quinn waited with his horse at the north gate for Anabeth he hopes that she will be on time. He felt like leaning against the castle walls and sleep but he didn’t feel like being hassled by the night watch men.

 

[MzSeductress]

Anabeth was highly annoyed that the king had paired her with such an arrogant sexist. She knew he of course thought she was weak or a burden to bring along like most recruited by the king but she always proved them wrong and she would enjoy rubbing her skills and strength in Quinn's face.

She headed home getting her annoyance out sparring with her brothers. She smiled when she had won and teased them saying they were getting old.

She readied her horse for battle as well early in the morning feeding it and going for a ride before they had to go on the journey.

She packed her things well prepared with warm clothing medical supply if they we're injured and extra dry food and water and food for Icy her horse.

She saddled her horse after a while riding to the north gate to meet her arrogant partner wearing her battle Armor

 

[jc199123]

While Quinn was waiting on Anabeth to show up he got a delivery from the blacksmith his war horses armor was finally made. He was affixing it to his deep black horse Nightmare if the armor didn’t shine it would look like it was the horse’s fur. He looks up from what he was doing to see her and the armor she was wearing. He couldn’t help but to laugh a little at what her armor. He says to her “I hope you brought good cold weather gear as well as extra bandages.” His armor wasn’t optimal for cold weather either but at least his covered him up completely except for his head (his armor is the same as the starting picture.).

Quinn straps his two handed long sword, he can use it with one hand and a shield but it’s more effective with two hands, and his big round shield then he go up on his horse. “Well we better be going we have a long journey ahead of us.” He says with a twitch of the reigns making his horse star walking to the east.

 

[MzSeductress]

Anabeth rolled her eyes at the man deciding she was not going to stand for his arrogance. "My armor is very effective Quinn and it allows me to move easily unlike the metal furnace your wearing"she said annoyed slinging her spear over her shoulder and placing her sword in its sheath and her shield on her back .

She had used her family's blacksmith and had the top gear to protect herself.The things were pricey but her father could afford things and she only used the best.

She stroked her horses hair using the strongest and bravest white horse in her town and makeing sure it was well trained.

She saw his horse was strong as well and she could tell arrogant like the man who trained it. She saw him move past her on his steed and start off in front of her and she sighed taking a deep breath to hold her tongue seeing the man wasn't trained in manners.

 

[jc199123]

Quinn could only laugh at Anabeth’s comments about his armor and yelled back at her “I can move in my armor just fine and I have every part of me protected.” He was right not including his head every part of his body hade something covering it plus the armor has stopped arrows from killing him. She would have wished she hadn’t brought such a revealing piece of armor with her one the get near the mountains. Yes his armor keeps in his body heat but he had heard stories of how cold the mountains have been this year so trapped body heat wasn’t a bad thing.

He could already tell if she didn’t lighten up and stop taking things so personally that they were going to have a long quest together. He felt like speeding up to test how fast her stead was able to go and to see if they could keep up but decided against it for now because they are still near the city and the road may become packed with people traveling at some point.

 

[MzSeductress]

Anabeth smirked to herself deciding to stay quiet at Quinn's last comment and move along in front of him . She was about to comment that he had more parts to protect than hers but she decided it was not ladylike of her.

She had more armor with her her chest plate and shoulders pieces were pure gold and iron but she didn't want to wear her heavy armor while traveling. She briefly studied his features and noticed how handsome he was and wonders if he was we'd or had a family .

 

[jc199123]

Quinn couldn't help but to take in Annabeth's figure as she passed by. He couldn't help but to wonder if she was anyone's wife or maiden. He quickly put that out of his head now because he needed to focus on the mission at hand.

When they finally reach a road that Quinn knew wouldn't be littered with people he pat Nightmare on his shoulder and said "lets see if the can keep up." He starts snapping the reigns to make Nightmare go faster. Quinn still couldn't believe the thunderous sound his horse made at full run. As Quinn passes Annabeth he shouts "keep up!"

 

[MzSeductress]

Anabeth laughed as he passed her loving a challenge. She snapped Icy's Reigns and said " Cmon girl lets show these guys what were all about". Icy took off quickly her white mane glistening and her armor shining in the sun as they rode.

She caught up with him riding icy next to his midnight black horse. They were like complete opposites her horse a bit smaller than his but she was a strong and fast and that is why she had chosen icy because her personality was much like her own.

She rode beside the man and smirked "Didn't think I could catch you?" She teased.

 

[jc199123]

Quinn could see Anabeth catch up to him with a grin he began to snap the reigns to his horse more to see if he could get Nightmare to go faster. He could see that Anabeth’s horse was small and fast but did Annabeth’s horse have the stamina like Nightmare had.

Nightmare was Quinn’s work horse as well as only ride he had. If anyone would ever pet Nightmare they could feel that he was nothing but muscle. Nightmare was also the most stubborn horse to break that is how he got his name. Quinn would go home black and blue sometimes even bloody from trying to beak Nightmare.

 

[MzSeductress]

Anabeth whipped Icy's reigns knowing she could keep up because she was still a young horse.She was very protective of her horse and she wouldn't do anything to put her in danger and tire her easily because of the long journey. Her stamina was great because just like Anabeth , Icy had to do her training as well to keep herself fit .

She had a difficult time with Icy at first ..Stubborn as hell,Threw her off a few times, arrogant,took off when she pleased and she swore her horse have the the side eye a few times but she had gotten her act together and she had trusted her to ride her.

She fed icy some apples as treat and they kept moving forward and increasing their speed. " Try to keep up pretty boy"she said riding past him again.

 

[jc199123]

Nightmare stopped breifly as Annabeth and Icy flew by them. Quinn hear Nightmare snort a couple of times before he stood on his hind legs letting out a loud neagh. As soon as Nighmare's hooves hit the ground he was off blowing by Annabeth. Quinn instantly knew what was on Nightmare's mind he wanted to beat Icy. "Stop your horse or this will never end!" Quinn shouts as he passes Annabeth. He knew if Nightmare got his way he would run till his heart exploded in his chest just to show he was the best.



Quinn pulled on the reigns trying to get Nightmare to stop but he knew Nightmare would only stop if he only heard his own hoof beats for awhile. Quinn hoped that Annabeth would listen to him and just stop her horse.

He turned his to see if Annabeth had listened to him but had to quickly turn back around so he could guide his horse safely to a stop.

 

[MzSeductress]

Anabeth saw Quinn and his horse blow past them and it must have annoyed icy because she started acting out as soon as she heard the snort and Midnights hooves gallop past her . She knew she was trying to follow the bigger horse and she quickly put a stop to it pulling her reigns and hearing her huff at her like she had done when she hadn't gotten what she wanted sometimes. She noticed they had gotten quite far due to their competitiveness but she didn't want the horses hurt or agitated.

She hopped off of Icy's back almost gracefully stroking her fur to let her calm a bit and letting her drink water from a small river she spotted. She sat with her seeing Quinn and Midnight still riding and she figured she'd catch up to them.

 

[jc199123]

Quinn finally got Nightmare to stop his running. Nightmare took straight to the small river drinking water like it was going to run dry. Quinn finally got Nightmare to stop drinking and walking in the directionof Annabeth and Icy. Quinn could tell Nightmare needed a short break and snack before he would be ready to ride again. When they reached Annabeth Quinn quickly got of Nightmare and grabbed him a carrot from a cloth bag. As soon as he gave Nightmare the carrot and turned to walk to sit down Nightmare flicked his head hitting Quinn in the back of his with the leaves of the carrot.

"Funny boy." Quinn said before he stroked the side of Nightmare's neck then sat down smiling.

 

[MzSeductress]

Icy's head shot up seeing the black horse and she neighed and Anabeth chuckled stroking her head as she snorted excitedly and said to her "Oh no you don't ... Your too young to be dating especially a hell hound like Midnight" icy snuffed at her nudging her with her nose knock Anabeth over lightly beside her and she couldn't help but laugh at Icy's almost human reactions.

She saw Quinn and Midnight making their ways over to them and she sat silently sharpening her knifes and spears in silence glancing over at Quinn every once and a while. She wasn't sure what to say never being around a man alone this long with a male member of her family present to be sure she kept her maidenhead until she was wed because her father wanted her to marry up but all Anabeth was concerned about was finding her own way to love not an arrangement.

She admired some of Quinn's armor some homemade some she could tell was made by a blacksmith. She also noticed some scars on him adding to the mystery of the man. She knew he wasn't wealthy or hasn't grown up that way but she could tell he was rich in knowledge strength and courage which was respected in her eyes.

She finished sharpening her tools and wrapped them back up patting Icy to stand as she stood herself and went to fill her canteen."We better head back on the road before it turns nightfall"she said pulling her hair back.

 

[jc199123]

Quinn Couldn’t help but to notice that Annabeth wanted to talk but didn’t know how to really say anything in a situation like this like her father never let her go anywhere without someone. He started to Admire her armor and how highly crafted it was then it turned to admiring her beauty. He wanted to say something to her but he didn’t know if she would even talk to him. He just sat there and let Nightmare rest before they had to leave.

Quinn could see that Icy was looking at Nightmare like she wanted to mate with her. He couldn’t help but to smile when he seen this and Nightmare looked like he wanted her as well. He heard her say “We better head back on the road before nightfall and Quinn said yes we better make a little more distance before we set up camp. He let Annabeth lead this time and as she left nightmare started to neigh and huff. “I know you want to mate with Icy but it’s not my decision maybe you should buddy up to Annabeth boy.” Nightmare neighed again before he caught up to Icy. He kept nudging Annabeth’s Leg trying to get her attention. Quinn started to laugh at him and said “easy lover boy if Annabeth kicks you in the head I’m not going to say anything.”

Quinn never see Nightmare act like this except for when Quinn neighbors got a new mare that he would constantly run along the fence every time she would run by the fence. Quinn wondered how they are going to tie up the horses when they had to sleep seeing how the horse looked at each other with lust in their eyes. Quinn tried a couple of times to pull Nightmare away from Annabeth’s leg but he kept walking back and kept rubbing. “Alright if she kicks you in the head remember I tried to stop you.”

 

[MzSeductress]

Anabeth rode along with Icy loving how the wind felt against her skin and how free and relaxed she felt whenever she rode. She heard Quinn galloping behind her and when they caught up his stallion kept brushing her leg . She found it odd at first but then realized he was being friendly and she smiled patting his head.

As if jealous Icy moved slightly away so she couldn't touch his mane anymore and she couldn't help but laugh and pat her head "Ok girl I get it" she said to her horse knowing that Icy wanted to mate with him . She knew they'd make strong warrior horses but that had to wait until the quest was complete and she had to check if Quinn was ok with it as well.

She continued on using her compass to check if they were going the right way and thinking of somewhere safe they could set up camp.

 

[jc199123]

Quinn laugh when Annabeth's horse moved when she touched Nightmare. Nightmare snortedand shook his head. "Try getting beside them and be friendly with Icy and se." Quinn whisperee if she will move." Quinn said quietly. trying to help his best friend. He wanted to show Annabeth the place he wanted to stay. He got out a map he had that had land marks as well as key geographical features marked on it.


Quinn gave the reigns a couple of snaps and Nightmare happily trotted to Annabeth and Icy. Nightmare got a little to close and Quinn could feel his leg get pressed against Annabeth's leg. Quinn pulled the reigns so that Nightmare would move away a little so Annabeth and Quinn's leg would be crushed if something would happen.

Nightmare began to nuzzle against Icy and Quinn said "look at them they are acting like a couple of love sick teens... I have use a place to sleep if you are up for it. Its a big ring that is made out of thorn bushes on the outside and normal bushes on the inside of the ring. The bushes are thick so no one or thing can get through. what do you think. the only draw back is the fact the ring is only big enough for my tent. My tent is an old officers tent. what do you say want to check it out.

 

[MzSeductress]

Anabeth chuckled at their horses behavior. Icy was a hellcat but she had never shown jealousy unless she felt ignored by Anabeth not by a stallion. She let the horses interact seeing icy lighten up a but and smiled at his statement" Your stallion has quite the impression on Icy... She never acted like this around other stallions" she laughed.

She looked over at him hearing him suggest a spot that was protected by thorn bushes . " We have to share a tent is what your saying?" Anabeth said unsure of how she felt about that or how her father would feel.

She relaxed after a while and said " ok I suppose that is a good spot ... But we need to find somewhere the horses are safe as well"

 

[jc199123]

Quinn could sense Annabeth’s uncertainty and said “The tent is pretty big it supposedly can fit 3 people in it comfortably in it so just us and our gear it should be spacious… if we stay there it should have enough room for our horses a camp fire and the tent.” He handed her the map he had to show her what he is talking about. He still couldn’t help but to chuckle at Nightmare and Icy the horses are acting like they have been dating for a while. Quinn would try at times to get Nightmare to part from Icy but every time he did so Nightmare would rust get close once again.

“I swear if someone would look at our horses they would think that they were lovers.” Quinn said to Annabeth with a laugh. He didn’t know why Nightmare left such an impression on Icy but if he had to guess it was when Annabeth and Quinn decided to race each other. Quinn didn’t even know why he was holding the reign now if Nightmare was going to go anywhere it was going to be the same path that Icy went on. Quinn barely put any pressure on the reigns to see if what he thought was true.

 

[MzSeductress]

Anabeth smiled looking at their horses knowing they'd now have no trouble controlling them or having them follow each other because they were completely smitten with each other. She had tried moving icy away so she and Quinn weren't rubbing legs the entire time but. Icy snuffed and moved right back next to her new boyfriend. " Traitor" Anabeth said jokingly and creed with Quinn. " At least we won't have problems with them following each other's trail. They're completely obsessed with each other." She laughed

She figured where he chose had been fine and there was a river she could was herself and clean icy off nearby she just had to be certain he was asleep before she went. " The camp sounds good Quinn it will save time so we both don't have to set up."

 

[jc199123]

Quinn quits trying to pull the two horses apart because the horse always came back together like a couple who are walking round obstacles. They rode to the campsite and Quinn set up the tent and he looked over at Annabeth who was getting her gear off of Icy and asks “When you go to take your horse for a bath will you take Nightmare as well? I don’t think I can get him to go by himself.” Quinn hears Nightmare neigh in the background. “See he wants to go with your horse… If he gives you any troubles just come and get me and I help you with him.” He said hoping she would so he wouldn’t have to fight Nightmare.

He walks over to Nightmare to take his armor off so he could have some rest from its heaviness. Nightmare snorts at him. “I asked it’s up to her to take you I can’t force her to take you.” HE said as he removed the last piece of armor. Nightmare Nudges him and snorts again. “You go ask her she is the one taking you.” Quinn said petting his horse.

 

[MzSeductress]

Anabeth smirked as she removed Icy's armor and she galloped playfully causing her to laugh " Alright girl " she laughed stroking her head softly so she could relax. She saw Quinn coming over and he asked for her to clean Nightmare as well. She wasn't familiar with his horse but she didn't see why she couldn't if Nightmare didn't give her problems.

""I don't see why not it's not like he wouldn't try to follow anyway and I know how much trouble that'd be." She grabbed a sack of her things to change into and wash and she got on Icy's back and smiled telling nightmare "Come on boy " as she patted icy to begin moving and his horse followed.

 

[jc199123]

"You should be fine as long as Icy is there he probably won't leave her side... just make sure he is a perfect gentlemen while you take him." Quinn told Annabeth while he unbuckeled his chest plate letting it hit the ground with a loud thud. He walks over to Nightmare and unclips the reigns and says "go on lover boy behave or else this will be the last time you go with your girlfriend for a while."


Quinn finished getting the tent up and gathered some fire wood for the fire. He sat by himself and sharpend his weaponry while he waited for Annabeth to comeback from her bath. He began to think about Annabeth's beauty and how he would love to make her his.
