Grimgar. She looked down at her map and, after a moment, back up at the trail in front of her. She needed to get to grimgar and see her departed masters friend to deliver the news: that he had died several days ago. Their home had been attacked by a creature none of them had ever seen before, and in the midst of fighting it off, he had been hurt badly and didn't make it. The memory was still fresh in mind, and tears welled up in her eyes as she thought about it. She had been walking for days without much rest, was filthy and her body was covered and stained in blood. Despite all this, she was determined to find him. She continues to walk, her map as her guide until finally she reaches the gate of grimgar.

"This....this has to be it...."

She says quietly to herself as she walks in. She didn't know where to even begin looking for him, but she had made it this far. She walked into the towns center square and perched herself on a tall platform in an attempt to better see where he might be.

As Crowe leaves her house to head to the Mage Guild, she fix her gloves and attire as she went in a hurry to even dress properly as she was clearly late for something. Crowe started running taking a detour in the market place to get to the Mage Guild faster, after a while of running she finally arrive at the town Center, seeing the Mage Guild building in the distance, Crowe started walking to the Guilds direction before she stop after noticing a person that seems lost, Crowe walks towards the girl and ask.

Hey are you lost or something?

Adrianna sighs and takes a seat on the edge of the fountain that she had been standing on. She buries her hand in her face when she hears footprints approaching her. She removes her hands and stares at the feet in front of her, before slowly looking up and seeing the person in front of her. She hesitates for a moment before sighing and nodding, running a hand through her mess of a hair.

"Yeah...I am...I just got here and have no idea where I'm even going...."

Crowe raise a eyebrow upon hearing what the girl just said.

Your new to Grimgar then? Are you looking for a certain place? The market or maybe a potion shop? Or are you looking for a person that lives here?

Crowe looks around as she notice there's more people now starting their day. Crowe sigh as she realize she's already late.

Adrianna nods and reaches her hand into her pocket, pulling out a slip of paper with his name on it. He hands it to Crowe before pulling out her map as well. She unfurls it so it's flat out and examines it.

"I'm looking for him. Maxis thornhart. The only problem is im just got here and have no idea where he lives...."

She says sighing heavily.

Crowe place her hand on her chin as she thinks while repeating the name of the person.

Maxis thornhart, Maxis Thornbury, ah, I know the person your talking about Maxis Thornhart a Mage Scholar, why are you looking for him? Your not of them hired assassin from a foreign land sent to kill him are you?

Crowe hand was already behind her waist where her daggers where located ready to strike the girl depending on the girls answer.

"What?! No! Of course not! He's a dear friend of my master, Lin lockhart. My master, he...he...."

She days suddenly shaking as if she was terrified. She took several deep breathes to calm herself down, but nothing worked. Eventually she managed to stop shaking long enough to get out what she needed to say.

"My master, his friend, just died....a-and I need to find him so I can tell him..."

She says holding back tears.

Crowe moves her hands away from her dagger.

Alright I believe you beside not even a well trained assassin can't put that much emotion in their tears, IM sorry for your lost, follow me I'll show you where the old guy is.

Crowe started walking.

Adrianna nodded and stood up, furling her map back and put it back in her pouch before wiping her eyes and standing up. She then follows him, adjusting her pouch every now and then.

"Thank you...."

She says keeping her eyes averted towards the ground.

As they arrive in a giant building, Crowe push open the giant wooden door of the building with all her strength, as the giant wooden door open inside can be seen being a giant library every wall and corners are filled with tomes and scrolls. Crowes walks inside and points toward the long hallway of the library.

The old guy should be at the end of this hallway, I would join you but IM already late for something so I have to go, if your finish talking to the old guy try and enjoy the city it might help to see a lively city after losing someone.

Crowe waves to the Girl and leaves the Archive.

Adrianna nods and walks down the hallway, but when she sees him, she instantly runs up to him and his him, collapsing onto the ground and bawling her eyes out. The man is surprised and hugs her akwardly.

"my child, what is it??"

"I-it's lin...something attacked our home and he was killed!"

"what?!"

He says gently easing the girl off of him. He strokes his long beard for a moment before taking hold of his arms and helping her to her feet. After several long moments and after she's able to compose herself, he let's go.

"I need to investigate this myself. Why don't you go to the pub?"

He says and Adrianna nods, wiping her eyes and walking out. She looks around the city, and upon finding the pub she walks inside and takes a seat.

The wraith watched from across the cobblestone road as the two entered the building. He had been following Adrianna for days, always careful not to be seen. Once she neared the town he obtained a long hooded cloak to hide his monstrous features as not to cause panic. Even with the hood it was hard to hide the white glow of his eyes, so he stayed in the shadows of the town, but never loosing sight of the girl. He had been told that it was possible that she held information that would help him in his venture, and he wouldn't let that possibility slip through his cloven grasp. His eyes narrowed slightly, he was so close, yet so far.

After arriving in Mages Guild, Crowe was scolded for being late for an hour,
Crowe leaves the Guild after her Scolding was finish she sigh as she heads to the tavern.

I thought that was never gonna end, a eternal of complain, I need a nice food after what just happen.

Crowes arrive at the tavern and looks around for a vacant chair, Crowe sees the girl again alone with plenty of vacant chairs in her table, she smile as she head to the spot where the girl is, Crowe tap the girl in the shoulder and sit beside her.

So how did it go?

Adrianna was lost in her thoughts, when suddenly she felt a tap on her shoulder. She jumped and spun around, seeing the girl from earlier. She sighed in relief and relaxed slightly as the girl sat in front of her.

"It went....like one would expect I guess...he's investigating his death for himself..."

Raziel had followed, entering the Tavern as well. He took a seat in a somewhat concealed and dark corner. Yet his gaze remained on the girl at the opposite side of the large, smoky room. He had to approach her eventually, but not yet. He was never one to talk with someone in a crowded place.

Well It's reasonable for such action, his friend have up his life to save his own apprentice ofcourse the old guy wouldn't let you do anything dangerous or his friend sacrifice will go in vein

Crowe stop for a second and looks around, she feels as if someone is watching the spot where she is currently is, Crowe thinks to herself.

is someone watching the girl?

Crowe grabs the iron knife in the table and write something in backward so the girl can read it properly since they both sit in front, Crowe finish the message.

Don't be alarm or look shock or anything but someone is watching you in this tavern don't look suspicion just keep talking like we haven't notice we are being watch.

So you wanna eat something we have great foods here in Grimgar.

Adrianna raises an eyebrow and looks down at the table as crowe had started carving a message into the table. When she finished she looks down and reads it. Her eyes widened slightly, but she quickly tried to regain her composure.

"U-um...sure....what do you recommend? I Dont know what you have here so you can order for me...."

His pointed ears twitched slightly under the hood as he growled softly to himself. He would have to talk to her, and he had been following her long enough already. As much as he hated talking to someone in a crowded place (The threat of eavesdroppers constantly loomed over his mind) he decided he would approach her anyway. In almost inhuman silence he walked over to them, his claw like feet clanking against the hard wood floor. Because of the cloak hiding his features, one would think they were just boots.

Crowe orders two Garula skewers for the both of them, as the food arrives Crowe grab her food and started eating.

This is my favorite a Garula meat skewerd in a stick and cooked just right.

Crowe continues eating while keeping her composure maintained, Crowe moves her eyes to the girl and whispered.

I think the person watching you is heading our way, get ready to run or fight depending whaf kind of person this is.

Crowes continues to eat.

Adriana watches as they bring over two Garula skewers. Adrianna eyes it for a moment before taking a bite. Adrianna was certainly pleased and continued to eat it. However the mood was set off as she was Warned about the man approaching her table.

"Ok.."

She says before continuing to eat.
