While the group was conversing Aeon had drawn closer, not trying to stay hidden. His blue and black cloak flowed behind him, a spear clearly seen holstered over the cloak. He didn't look dangerous besides the spear. He stayed quiet and tried to listen to their conversation, but he was still out of earshot. Unless they were trying to not look down the trail Aeon could be seen quite easily, distinguished by the cloak and spear, if not for his youth and almost graceful movements.

He merely wanted to talk to the group, but a young lad with a spear, to him at least, seemed suspicious if not out of place. Aeon made a mental note of that as he drew closer to the group, careful to seem as peaceful as possible. He didn't want any trouble from them, but was prepared to make a run for it if trouble was forced upon him.

"I understand Miss Farrah. So what are you gonna do now and where would you go?"

With a strong sense of smell Kino notice that there is someone there. Without hesitation he grab a pocket knife and throw it .

Aeon closed his eyes for a moment in thought. Gracefully walking until he opened his eyes. He barely saw the flash of metal heading towards him, stepping to the side, barely able to reduce the knife's effectiveness. It did still hit Aeon, but rather than hit his face it grazed the top of his shoulder, causing Aeon to flinch as he held the gash. He still held the wound, but his resolve was hardened, Aeon continued towards the group.

"Damnit that hurts. The hell was that for?" He muttered to himself. Aeon didn't think simply walking towards the group would lead to a knife being thrown at him. Better assume the worst and hope for the best.

"A kid...Tell me! Are you here to take this young witch Life? Answer quickly before this knife goes next to your eye hole."

-your

"W-wait! That's not why I'm here! I saw what you all did in that crowd and I wanted to find out a bit more. I don't see witchcraft or whatever it is as a crime. I see it as another trade, like smithing or farming. I didn't want any conflict." He still was holding his shoulder that had been slashed open, blood starting to trickle out from under his hand.

Aeon spoke honestly, holding his free hand up with an open palm. He didn't want to be attacked just because of a misunderstanding, so he saw no reason not to say the truth.

"I'm not sure what I will do now. I supposed venture to the next town, see if I can settle in there." The dark haired woman explained, watching Aeon approach from the edge of her vision. When Kino threw the knife, farrah turned her full attention to the scene.

"He is no threat to me." Farrah assured, waving Kino off with a gesture of her dainty hand. She looked serene, unworried, her expression one of calm and welcome. Moving forward in her long, graceful strides, she passed Kino and approached Aeon.

"You're bleeding pretty badly. Let me have a look." Farrah requested, nodding at his injured shoulder.

Aeon gave a shy smile, nodding slightly as he moved his hand from his shoulder. The knife had cut fairly deep, but the bone wasn't exposed, so the damage wasn't anything permanent. "O-okay." He replied, still slightly shaken from the man's threat and spontaneous attack. The blood had started to seep into the surrounding region on his shoulder, the blue portions of his cloak darkening as they absorbed the blood. He braced himself physically and mentally for the lady who requested to take a look at the wound to do whatever it was she might be doing.

Kino just sigh and put back the knife behind his pocket. "Look...If your telling the truth then your not a threat afterall." His black stead went close to him and grab a vial that can heal any wounds. Then he went closer to the bow and knelt before him while handling the vile ."Here this will close anyway wounds and my deepest apologies..."

Before Kino was able to administer his vile of magic, Farrah peered into the open wound on the boy's shoulder. In a fluid, swift motion, she dipped her thin index finger into the wound, moving it along the warm, inside length. As her finger moved along, the flesh behind it began sewing together like her finger was a zipper. At the end of the gash, she removed her now bloodied finger as the last of the skin meshed into a single piece again. She stepped back from the boy, wiping off her finger on the skirts of her dress. "There. It's as if no harm has been done, so there is need not to apologize for a misunderstanding. We'll move forward." Farrah declared, her voice soft yet unwavering, as she settled a gentle and reassuring hand upon Kino's shoulder. Her eyes flicked back and forth between Kino and Aeon, then off to the side at the silent Bell. When her dark, dark eyes settled back upon Aeon, she asked, "What is your name, boy?"

Aeon flinched as Farrah's finger entered the wound, sealing the flesh as she pulled her finger down the length of the injury. When she was finished Aeon felt where the gash had been, marvelling at the ability of this woman. He smiled and nodded, hearing her question he gave a small bow in respect, "I'm Aeon, Aeon Aurora. I'm a blacksmith who lives a few leagues from here in the woods. I was in the town for a delivery and to help out, I'll probably be wanted for taking this spear and bailing on them, but I don't want to go back. With all due respect, I wanted to learn about whatever it is you call it, magic, witchcraft or whatever."

He shifted his weight absently, looking the group over once more, Aeon was now able to clearly get a good look at each of the group members. Smiling once he was content.

"Well its getting darker...But there is this one inn nearby here. We should stay for the night at that place. Also the manager is a good friend of mine." He call his horse Jecth to accompany this people with him. "Just climb on to him and don't worry he is kind when it come to human. Also his name is Jecth that he is my companion during the war."

Kino set out to the nearby Inn. The name of the inn is Midnight Rose that was own by Willia Midnight. She welcome them and gave them a seat on the table. She ask Kino what would they like, So he ordered the special deluxe that 30 minutes later the food arrive on their table.

Many variety of food like Roasted Beef, Fried Fish, Green Salad and Mug of Beer for him and a pitcher of fresh orange milk. "Go on...and eat up! Its on me today."

"At this point, you would have to accompany us whether you wanted to or not, Mr. Aurora. You've seen to much for us just to let you go." The winged girl said, her red eyes trained on the newcomer. They flicked to Kino as he began to speak of a nearby Inn. She nodded in silent agreement. Her eyes then changed, from their usual cat-like red, to a human deep blue.

She folded her wings close to her back, and wrapped her tail around her waist. It gave it the guise of a fur belt. Her long cloak fell back over her non-human features, hiding them from unwanted eyes. Lastly she pulled up her masked over her nose and lower face, and accompanied it with her hood.

"Let us be off."

Farrah eyed Aeon as he introduced himself, her face holding a fond expression. "Lovely to meet you, sir Aeon." She dipped her head, then turned to face Kino as he suggested going to an Inn. Yes, that would be a good idea, somewhere to hide for a while and figure things out. She was sure there'd be searches for the group around the town.

She seemed to study Bell with interest as she shifted into a more human appearance, before casting her gaze away and beginning off after Kino and Jecth into the forest trails, set towards the inn. She paused out front once they arrived, assessing the exterior.

At the table, once the food arrived, Rah helped herself to some of the green salad, her gaze traveling from face to face at her table. "Bell, tell me, where are you from? I haven't seen a lady such as yourself before." Farrah conversed.

Aeon nodded, the inn Kino had mentioned seemed like a decent place, maybe a good meal and rest, two things he didn't get much of. He climbed onto the horse with a quick motion before the group departed, Aeon remaining silent as they got to the inn.

When the food had arrived he looked at Kino with a smile, "Really? Thanks! I haven't had food this good in ages." Aeon began happily eating the food that had been brought out, listening to the other two converse. He missed out on introductions so he listened and picked up on their names. Bell, Kino, and Farrah. He quickly memorized them as Farrah asked her question, what puzzled him more was her features, the wings and tail were quite interesting to see, especially somewhat close up.

"A place far from here, and difficult to get too."

Bell replied, and that's all she would reveal as of now. People were put off enough just by the mention of a witch, if she were more open about what she was and where she was from, she would have countless people on her tail. Her disguised eyes glazed over as she remembered the events that landed her here.

In reality, she came from a place known as the Underworld, a place similar to Earth's hell. Yet the underworld was much more then just that. It was ruled by a Demon Goddess that lived in a massive floating castle, Bell's mother. Bell didn't share her mother's views, which were dark a sadistic. Growing tired of her ways, Bell left, and ended up here.

"It's a dark place as well, not anywhere you would want to visit."

After a meal Kino Stand up "Alrights three of you enjoy the night and I will be at outside feeding my horse." He went outside to the stable to feed his horse Jecth that he carried a bucket of hay and put it on the feeder.

A Few minutes Later the Goddess herself appeared to him in a woman form and ask him How he was? He replied "Fine as Usual my lady just like in the 2nd war" The Goddess Chuckle and after that she delivered a important message to him that he must take care and guard the witch Farrah because she will prepare a greater purpose for her when the times come.

" Don't worry Goddess..it will be done..." The Goddess went closer to him and she gave a s kiss on this forehead as a blessing and protection him and his group. Then she disappear as Kino look back. He sat down and look upon the stars in order to ease his mind while sharper his arrows.
