Art clenched a fist Forelock was not a place she wanted to be reminded and even worse the men were all trained murderers, Art paused but eventually agreed with Svein and hid.
The Forelockian soldier road a horse clocked in silver and black but not one of theirs upon it was his sword. He stopped looking at the woman traveler "excuse me have you seen a young girl with raven colored hair wandering these parts" it was indeed Edwin the man who Ari hopes it was. His face serious and determined as always. A proper knight that was for sure.

Ariesti peered around the tree as a familiar voice greeted her ears. Tears immediately came to her eyes. Before anyone could stop her, she lunged out of the trees, "EDWIN!"
Tears began to stream down her cheeks as she nearly tackled the man off his horse. Her arms locked around him tightly and she began to tremble. Fear, happiness, excitement all rushed to her.
Svein cursed softly under his breath as he looked at Art. "Do you know that man?" He asked.

"The armor is Forelock, hes a lot younger then most generals...but that means he can't be trusted" Art watched as Edwin who was practicslly tackled off his horse. The way Ari hugged him made his heart sooth at the thought that the woman he loved was right here in his arms. "Ari you're safe...this means I can take you back to your father--""I'm sorry I can't let you do that" Art interrupted sword in hand clearly threatened by his presence "in fact we need her"

Ariesti shook her head and licked her lips. She Didn't want to go back with Edwin, after hearing the stories from quite a few people about how her father was. "I think you should hear them out, edwin." She stated and held on to him. He knew, of all people, how evil and foul her father could be.
"This union he wants isn't the solution." She added and stood between him and Art.

Edwin looked at Ari who eagerly insisted she heard them out. Edwin didn't care, his mission was to retrieve the princess and now she was being brainwashed by those who tried to break the sanctity he cherished. Sense he could remember he was assigned as guardian to the girl, and he would do the exact this his job was to do and that was guard the princess as he should be. He rested his hand on the hilt of the sword now pulling Ari closer "Come with me princess, I am here to bring you back to your father and I can't disobey him" he was right, sense he could remember he's been told to protect her, and the men that stood before him were attempting to confuse the poor girl. Art could read his expression, loyalty was a sad curse, and it was a hard one to break. She saw his look, and as much as she would have loved to help there was only one way she could do so. "I'm not going to allow you to take her away, she's of importance to me" Art repeated, "then I cannot allow you to be the enemy of the thrown" he shifted the girl behind him as though trying to protect Ari from her Glaive. They would start fighting.

Ari moved quickly once more and stood between the two powers. "Stop! I'm not going anywhere!" She ordered her voice finally full of the demanding and powerful tone it should. She clenched her fists and looked between the man and woman. "I can't go back to him, and be forced in to a marriage neither of us want. I refer to do it and be torn from the one I really love." She said, a hurtful tinge in her voice. "I can't do it, and I won't."
"If he is so adamant on wanting to take her back, why not just capture him?" Cinder brought up as she finally stood from her seat at the trunk of the tree. "if he still doesn't want to listen... then we simple leave him and keep carrying on. I'm not going to let a little servant puppy to Hades try to prevent us from carrying out what should be done." Cinder continued on as she slipped the whip off of her waist.

Ari's voice was stern and much how he would act if it was her father he emidiatily bowed before her, a bent knee and head bent before her "my princess please forgive me but if you want me to refuse to follow the kings orders I would kindly offer myself to be captured..." Art paused looking down at the knight and over to Svein, disappointed that she was not going to fight. She was however; curious before them was a man kneeling to be captured offering himself as their victim. No normal Forelock soldier would do this, it was love it had to be. She recognized this for it was a similar situation she recalled back during war with Svein, She looked at Ari the girl oblivious to the knights advances. Of course knights are not allowed to be with princesses afterall.

Ari's heart flipped in her chest as Edwin spoke of being captured. Her hands trembled and she bit her lip. "And if I demand to follow me instead?" She questioned. She hated when he acted like the knight. She wanted him to treat her normally, like he did all the time back in the forest. "Don't bow and take a knee with me. You know I hate it." She spat out, anger now coming in her voice. Who was he to think he was below her? With a frown, she crouched down beside him and took his hands in hers, "Come with us, and listen to what we say. I just got you back... I don't want to leave you, or lose you, again..."
Cinder rolled her eyes and made a slight gagging reflex at them. "This is all romantic and everything, but we have a mission. Proclaim and confess your love already, and lets get a move on!" She snapped and began to walk towards the town once more.

Edwin didn't know how to respond he held her hand. Cinder insisting they confess a thing then Edwin couldn't the love for the princess was indeed there but it was not in his place to tell her did. As much as his heart yearned for her it was against his country something he knew. "Princess you know my heart is with the kingdom and like all her people we love her very much, I'll follow you but I'm still your knight none the less sense, I've watched you become who you are now it is not my place to tell you what to do I respect you" she was so close to his face and a kiss would only make things worse, he stared into her eyes long before he looked away and stood guiding her along with him. "Show me, but I cannot promise you that your actions will change where my heart is" which was her. She was the one who's held his heart and strung him along, he was disappointed at his answer but he couldn't let her know the truth.
Art shook her head but a smile evident across her face she looked over to Svein remembering how hard he fought for her and how long she protested and focused on her career. It was never about her she truly liked the chase. It was the chase afterall that made her fall even further in Svein and watching these two young lovers obviously declaring it to each other make her smile. "Hurry on then we've got a Cyllaron to save"

Ari nodded and grabbed Edwin's wrist and the reigns to his horse and began to walk down the path back to Van Hallen.
Svein had gone on far ahead of the group, getting back to the tavern before them all. He set up tables for them to talk at, and quickly ordered for the cook to prepare a meal for them all. They would be in a back room, in private so no wandering ears could come in. Cinder was the next to arrive- as she was disgusted at the love-torn couple.
"This is ridiculous. He's just going to end up dying. He is too loyal to that country. He's going to try taking her back and ruining Art's plans." She muttered as she took a seat in the back room with Svein.

Art was the third to enter her destination was the chairs around Svein, she had Cinder and in a way she had Edwin, it was clear to see that he would go where the princess will go. He looked at the two as they entered, Ari looked happy and in a way this made Art feel complete. Edwin sat apart of the group, unwilling to mingle with them. Art overheard Cinder, and banged a tight fist on the table she was next to "there is nothing or no one that will set me astray from my mission, Ari is following us no matter what even if it means with kill the Forelock dog" her voice stern and angry she sat the closest to Svein over looking Ari and Edwin.
"You can't possibly be serious Princess" Edwin started yet again worrying about her actions, they were clearly rebellious and she was in the makes of a rebel group, "you really need to explain yourself, I don't know what to think...I don't know what you're doing, and now I can't bring you back to your father...there better be a logical reason for this" he was panicking, and it was evident in his voice.

Ariesti bit her lip. She, herself, didn't even know what was truly going on, or what she was doing there. All she could think about was how she was some prophet child that was going to rid the world of the darkness. "We're... going to rid Cyllaron of the darkness." She stated and she looked at Edwin. She was sitting next to him, away from the group as well. "if there is any more talk of killing, then I'm not going to stay around." She stated firmly and looked at Art.
"She is such a baby still, Art. Are you sure you have the right one? Didn't he have other offspring that may help instead?" Cinder spat and folded her arms over her chest. She was truly disgusted, and it was very evident in her body language and in her voice. "Just start explaining, and maybe then the pup will start to see the big picture. If he wants to save his beloved Princess and Forelock, then he'll bite his tongue and will listen."

"To get rid of the darkness" Edwin at this point had his chin resting inside the open part of his hand, he released a small laugh, "you know what kid" he always called her kid when he felt her ideas were childish, but despite that he was going to follow her, his eyes connected with hers and his free hand scuffled the hair on top of her head. "So its set then" Art called out from across the room "we set to Sandy Hollow I have a connection that I am told to meet at Sandy Hollow, tonight is apparently their halloween ball, but that also means that the vamps are planning a blood feast so dress nice" She turned to Svein, "can you gather your best clothes, I feel like Cinder and Ari require someone to help tailor them suits doesn't one of your girls do that I can pay" Art questioned, Edwin looked at his Forelock armor "I think I'm fi--""No you need a suit you're sticking out like a sore thumb"

Svein lifted an eyebrow. "It would be obvious if we traveled in fine clothing..." He pointed out. "But we can get something made up. When do we need to be there by?" He asked and moved toward the doorway to leave the room. "It shouldn't take her too long to get dressed made. And I'm sure we can have the knight dress in something of mine. It'll be faster and easier that way. No sense in overwhelming her with another unnecessary person." He pointed out and looked Edwin over. "We can work something out."
"Shouldn't I get something different to wear then? I'd stick out like Edwin would..." Ari pointed out.

"Oh sweetie I'm not dressing in fine clothing but Ari you're right," She paused for a moment contemplating as to what to do to solve this dillema, "wait, I got an idea!"
Art began banging a fist into her open hand as the idea brightly reflect itself on her face, "Armor! We'll find you knight armour, and dress you like Edwin's watch, you'll champoron our prince to this ball! It'll only make sense if I remained the same as I'm a knight," she looked at Cinder, "you'll both ride as guests with Edwin, that way keeping a close eye to the potential traitor--""Excuse me--""Ssshh I'm talking here, the suspicion lowering with proper carriage, and horses. "This can also means that our king Hades and his family are also invited" she tapped her armor until she got into her pocket pulling out an invitation to the ball "my confidante as given me this invitation to the pumpkin ball out in Sandy Hollow so we can make this passable Edwin will be Lucas his son, Ari you'll be my apprentice, Svein you'll guide this carriage, and Cinder you'll keep an eye out on Edwin here in a pretty as his plus one"
