The Realm of Austur Episode 1: A New Light

"Thank you so much Silver," Catie squealed with joy. "Catie I have one thing to tell you before I head up to the room and sleep," Baron told Catie in a serouis tone. "Don't disturbe Vincent under any circumstances that ritual he did caused him to have a bad headache and he needs his rest," Baron said. "Ok I will make sure to keep the noise down so Vinny can get his sleep," Catie said as she rushed over to Silver.

"We can stay up all night and talk about girl stuff," Catie told Silver. "Hey I wonder is there a boy dragon you have a crush on Sil Sil?" Catie asked. "Just remember Catie we have to get going as soon as we wake okay," Baron told Catie who nodded in agreement. "To think I would see the day that a wolf and a dragon would ever be best friends," Van said.  "Strange things are possible heck me and you use to bicker all the time,  now look," Baron told Van. " True maybe Vincent is a living breathing god all praise Vincent, " Van called out sarcastically.  "At least you developed a sense of humor," Baron said. "Alright Catie, Silver, and Vincent," Baron said as he made his way to his room.

   Baron saw Sam laying in bed while his wounds were slowly healing. "So how did the pact go with Van and Vincent," Sam asked. "Well take a look at my eyes," Baron said. "Why would I ... your eyes they seem red like when Van takes over but softer and your eyes seem gold instead of the blue they usually are," Sam said in amazement. "Where's Catie at son she is okay I hope," Sam asked. "Yeah because of that stunt you pulled made Catie and Silver best friends, you are one lucky black cat," Baron said to Sam sarcastically. "Oh and one other thing dad I asked Catie to marry me and she said yeah," Baron said to Sam. "I thought you would ask eventually the way you two seemed so close ever since the day we found her, congrats son," Sam said getting next to Baron. "If you and Catie just got engaged why is she with Silver and not you; I can always sleep in the courtyard and give you guys privacy," Sam said nudging Baron. "That's because first thing tomorrow we have to hit the road again," Baron said. "Any reason why?" Sam asked. "Well after Vincent performed the pact he seemed off like something wasn't right," Baron said. "I see so its best if we get going and let him rest," Sam said while Barron nodded yes. 

   "Any idea where we are headed ?" Sam asked. "Home," Baron said as he feel asleep. All Sam could do was gulp as he laid next to Baron falling an uneasy sleep.

"Lady Ceridwen, if I may, I am Cecil chief merchant of the red wing airship expedition, and this my wife and company negotiator Rosa." Cecil states with a calm bow.
"Greetings my Lady, I see you are taking in the sites of your home out of wistfulness over the upcoming expedition." Rosa states with a calm grace.

"Yes my nephew Mid is somewhat eccentric, it runs in the men of my family. Oh and begging your pardon my lady but I believe you met my husband yesterday when he helped present the proposed expedition to the council." Rosa replied.
"Its not very important honey, lady Ceridwen was barely introduced to me yesterday." Cecil adds.

Ceridwen shook her head furiously. "Oh, I'm afraid it is important. One shouldn't downplay themselves like that. It was a good meeting, I'm just sad that I won't be home for awhile." She explained, tapping her fingers nervously on the wooden seat. Her smile returned. "You two make quite the couple, I hope I can meet someone of good tastes one day."

"I understand Vincent and don't worry I will make sure to take the up most care," Baron said. "I might want to know the answers badly but not enough to endanger my fiance or Sam," Baron said. "Don't worry Vincent I will make sure he doesn't do anything to reckless," Van said. "Besides I am grateful you gave Baron and me a chance to know one another," Van said.  "Your hospitality is more then I could have ever hope for," Sam replied.

     "Can't wait to see you again Sil Sil," Catie said as she gave Sil one last hug. "If I come across any good looking boy dragons I will make sure to hook them up with you," Catie said.  "I will make sure to keep practicing my bow," Catie said. Then Catie went over to Vincent to give him a quick hug "Thank you so much Vin you have done so many wonderful things for once like teach Baron to get along with Van, raising such a wonderful daughter, and teaching us so much in general. " Sil Sil take care of yourself I look forward to seeing you again," Catie said.

After they said there goodbyes Sam, Baron, and Catie made there way to the entrance. "So where do we head now?" Sam and Catie asked. "I say for now we head to the village and stock up. " Hey Baron shouldn't you put your gear on it is morning, " Catie asked worriedly. "Nah I want to enjoy the sun and feel its warmthh.," Baron said wearing a simple pair of slacks with a blue T-shirt and his blades strapped to his back. "Wow a vampire that enjoys the sun you are certainly special my son," Sam said. " I just fear what would happen when you learn the truth," Sam thought. "I never did tell you but I was originally just to deliver a message and a couple of items to your mom," Sam said with a sigh.

As the group left Vincent's hideout behind and made there wy to the village where Baron was before.

"Fun for Rosa and myself has always been spending time together, perhaps you would benefit more from time with the younger members of our company. Speaking of witch..." Cecil trails off.
"Father, Mother, I got Mother's telepathic call. What do you need of me and Emily." States Jarod as he and Emily approached.
"Son, Emily. I called you because I thought it would be wise to introduce you to our council representative." Stated Rosa. Then motioning to the rep in question, "This is lady Ceridwen our representative. My lady this is my son Jarod and our companies auxiliary pilot Emily."

"A pleasure to meet you my lady." Says Jarod as he kneels down for light kiss on Ceridwen's hand. Emily gets a flash of anger across her face at this.
"Nice to meet you too, lady Ester. Hey Jarod shouldn't we get back to shopping for produce, now that we've been introduced to the council's rep." States Emily as she tugs on the slightly confused Jarod's sleeve.
Rosa has to supress giggling at this.

"Ah, I have an idea. Lady Ceridwen would you like to go with Jarod and Emily, the two of them are purchasing the food we'll be eating during the trip. As you asked what having fun was like for the lower echelon, I think you'll will benefit from learning first hand." Says Cecil merrily.
"That sounds like a fine idea father, besides I was a bit worried I wouldn't get anything our representative would like to eat, but if you come with us lady Ceridwen we'll surely be able to account for your preferences." States Jarod with a little excitement.
"W-wait! Jarod I'm sure lady Representative has better things to do than waltz about the bazar with us. Please forgive his eagerness my lady." Emily interjects nervously.

"Then its settled then. Lets go and peruse the bazar milady." Jarod states with cheer.
"Yah~... Lets go." Says Emily states.
"Have fun lady Ceridwen." Calls Cecil.
"Yes enjoy yourself dear." Rosa adds
The youngsters then start heading back to the bazar, Jarod gently leading Ceridwen along by her left hand.
