Shane moved the sweaty messy hair from his eyes as he looked at Haven's as she fell beside him. The two didn't have much space so they had to get close. "I know... I hope you know you can be mad at me, frustrated with the world but I still have your back." Shane said. He then watched as she closed her eyes. He stayed alert for a bit but exhaustion began to wash over his body and mind. Soon he was fast asleep close to Haven for warmth but feeling safe with her despite the danger she had brought him.

She felt the stings whip across her back, and her cries louder then ever, shackled and in the arms of what she had titled her brother was a young infant girl. Haven's eyes swollen with tears, and cheeks swollen from a beaten prior. "Give...me back--""You've betrayed this country sister. Because of you, you thought by being a harlot towards the king of Forelock you would be spared by what the prophecy as set for us" He held his niece tightly in his arms, "and because of your actions, this is what happened, now I cannot live in a world where the key to Cyllaron's success be roaming the lands and spreading her legs like a dog in heat, you may think you've saved us, but he will come for his creation sister and with it the downfall of our kingdom, he will claim what he feels is his" he held the infant closer to Haven who was hardly able to see the girl. "And I will give her to him, without you to rule I will take your place and claim you as dead" Haven began to sob, "please no you don't understand" another crack of the whip, and another cry of pain, followed by the piercing scream of her daughter.
The morning came quick but in Treset morning meant awakening, as it was always darkness in Treset. Haven being the first to wake from her 'nightmare' sat up in a quick reaction her hand swinging the her back as she ran them over what would be her scars. The pain in her dream felt real, and all to familiar. She looked over at Shane who seemed to have nuzzled into her keeping her warm from the cold. She began to piece her past together. This journey was proving to be more and more fruitful as to who she really was. She had a child...that she remembered.

Shane slashed down two soldiers and watched two dashed into a house. Shane chased them finding them with a mother and five year old daughter, the soldiers were trying to use them as shields however this didn’t stop Shane. Shane’s arm crackled with purple arcane energy and he shot it at the four of them. The mother and soldiers screamed and cried in agony but the child just stared at him as their skin blistered and melted from his power.
The girl’s eyes turned into purple eyes of Leothorn, above him. Thrusting and moving above him, his full elven features and long blonde hair above Shane. Leothorn turned Shane around and continued loving him in the candlelit tent. Shane felt Leothorn fill him with warmth and comfort. Leothorn finished and laid down naked and Shane rested his head against his former mentor’s chest.
“Shane, you don’t need to worry about the girl. She is useless and weak. You are not.” Leothorn said his voice like a harp. “Bring her to me, and you can live in peace.”
Shane’s eyes darted open his eyes looking around. He could feel Haven moving and got up rubbing his hands over his face. Shane stretched his arms and looked at Haven, “How did you sleep?” He asked sounding groggy.
Shane got up his joints cracking as he went to the shed door and listened and opened a crack making sure things were clear before he stepped out into the cemetery. Shane seemed a little further on edge then he normally was but trying to hide it from Haven.

Haven was sore she was sitting here looking at him for a while. Her muscle sore and stinging from being awkwardly placed on the floor. She looked at him "...just nightmares" she began her stomach growling loudly.

"Same..." Shane heard Havens belly growl and he felt hungry too. He helped Haven up and began to walk the road both hungry but not starving yet. "Are you familiar with plants here? Can you Forge for food?" Shane asked.

"In all fairness I don't remember the last time I've ever left Esfrodante" Haven confirmed, in response with Shane. She honestly couldn't pin point the last time, she saw these parts, the land was dark, and she felt a sense of familiarity as she walked along side Shane. "...but I know I've been here before" she sounded certain her words carried off however; as she thought among herself attempting to remember what he had asked her. She was hungry and the plants despite it growing with the lack of light, among them were pumpkins attached to gravestones. "Are these not edible?" she questioned him pointing as the largely plumped orange squashes that peppered this grave sight, like flowers for the tombs.

"Yes pumpkins are edible but the seem to be honoring the dead and the last thing we need is to be cursed as well." Shane said as Haven pointed to pumpkins. Shane then walked to the road keeping his eyes pealed for any pumpkins growing away from the graves. Shane seemed extra on edge oppose to his usual self. The dream about his old mentor had rattled him. It felt real, it felt like he was watching him. If Leothorn was hunting the two of them Shane doubted that he would be able to protect Haven.

"You seem to be a bit off today Shane" Haven reacted to the man who seemed to be distraught. She wasn't sure what was going through his mind in fact it concerned her, what made this walk worse was that he was further from her. Had the events that played out thus far plagued him. She certainly hope not, she didn't want to be the reason he grew distant. She ran slightly to catch up, leaning closer Shane "Shane why aren't you answering" the pause was unsettling and she didn't know how else to capture his attention.

Shane heard Haven but was almost too distant to listen. Shane continued to wander for a few more steps before Haven Leaned into Shane snapping him out of his daze. Shane stopped and looked at Haven. "I-I'm sorry Haven. The dream I had was a little more vivid then I'm use to." Shane said taking Haven's hand into his. "It was about my mentor, my teacher, Leothorne. He is probably one of the strongest of the Terror Nine. Whatever he wanted he took, whether it was power, glory, me. If that dream was telling me he is hunting us... I won't be able to protect you from him." Shane said

She saw the fear in his eyes, he was clearly worried about all that had played out thus far. She hung her head slightly to the side pondering what he meant, she had many dreams some more true then others. It was hard to peice fact from fiction and this could have been a dream, it had to be, there was no way that she was being chased, they had been hiding, and hiding well for that matter. "Dreams can't determine fact from fiction, its a dream right? I know I have many dreams, and I don't believe in any of them." She encouraged him, coiling an arm around Shane's drawing it closer to the bend of her pit and against her chest. "Besides, as a summoner of spirits and dieties I feel like I can protect the both of us"

Shane looked at Haven feeling her trying to comfort him. Shane knew it had to have been just a dream. Shane's hand found Havens as he gripped it. “Y-yeah….” Shane said having some doubts that Haven would be able to toe to toe with Leothorne. “Okay just promise me if we face off against him and I tell you to run. You run, don't wait for me just run. He would take great pleasure in destroying you if he gets his hands on you.” Shane said.

"Whatever you say, you're the boss" she chimed as she hung to his hand tighter, it was a relief that he didn't shy from her, her stomach groaned louder. There wasn't food around them in fact it would be a while before they could find solace else where but she still felt fear trickling down the back of his mind. Words would not be the things that will settle his mind. "We need to find pelts and collect them to sell...unless you have an easier alternative to get us food."

"Pelts us a good idea. We can also do monster hunting for a town." Shane suggested staying next to Haven as they walked down the road. Shane focused his mind onto the problem and task a hand. It was pointless to worry about Leothorne now if they starved to death on the road.

Sandy Hollow and Van Halen only distance away "Perhaps the town we're heading would be a good idea to check out postings, Sandy Hollow perhaps? I don't know much about the parts considering I don't remember the last time I actually physically left Esfrodante." She started. Sandy Hollow was the sister town of Van Hallen only 15 mins apart of each other, those it soils infested with the undead and vampires masked as a tourist resort. Van Hallen a simple town with demons running it. It was all a choice that Shane would have to decide as much as she would love to settle here, with being shot sovereigns, and lacking the tools to survive neither of them would be in any place to live long enough to see each other survive. She looked at Shane her stomach hungrily making demands.

"Sandy Hollow should have some postings. Worst case scenario we clean dishes for food." Shane said as the two of them approached the beautiful resort town of Sandy Hallow.
A crowd was being formed outside a rather nice large in. While a man said, "We are giving away a suite, meals, and tickets two the annual Pumpkin Apple Ball. Every couple take an apple."
A rather stunning redhead came by Shane and Haven with a basket. "Why your a rather cute couple, new to town?" She said
"Oh... We are...." Shane said blushing a little but the red head handed the two of them a juicy red apple with the number 87 carved into the skin, before going on to other couples gathering around.
Shane showed it too Haven as the got swept up in the spectical. The man walking on the stage then was greeted by a blonde rolling large create onto stage filled with plump orange pumpkins. The man reached into the crate and pulled out a pumpkin with the number 87 carved into. "The winning couple is the one with the number 87." The man announced. Shane showed the apple to Haven not sure what to do.
