The great war it may have only happend 20 years ago but it haunted the people of Vana'Diel even to this very day. The power of the shadow lord and his hordes of beastmen that attacked the four great nations of the world. If it werent for the great hero who had slayed the Shadow lord no Hume, Elvaan, Mythra nor Taruturo would have survived.
Even with the shadow lord gone the threat of war still creeps in, rumours of the Beastmen having a new leader rallying them up against the great nations. Sandoria the Kingdom of the noble Elvaan, Bastok the strong republic of the prideful humes, and windurst of the elegant yet magical Tarutaro and Mythra, and of course Jeuno the one place where these three great nations could come at peace.
A figure sighed as he left Castle Chateau D`Oraguille, his name was Gradd. A strong and noble hume Dark Knight of Sandoria. It had been just one week since that day that he had fought against the terrible creature in Palborough mines... that Dark Dragon and the Eye... Both he Lion and the samurai woman gave it there all to defeat that thing. A strong and prideful victory none the less but... for the forboding of the shadow lords return...
He turned heading towards the town, could the people really take another war? That and the great hero was so powerful... how could they destroy the shadow lord without him? After the battle none knew what happend to him... only stories...
Gradd came to a stop at a bench and sat down removing his helm from his head revealing his face and his long brown hair as it fell out into place. " so... Jeuno... my next mission..." a sigh fell and he shook his head. Him acting as an ambassador? That would have to be the weirdest thing Prince Trion or the king had ever asked of him... but he would do as he was told it was his duty as a knight.

Mythra. She was proud of her race. naturally, who wasn't?
Though she was also ashamed. in the great war, they nwould have been probably one of the first races to fall. she thought they were better then this! espesscally better then any damn humes!
She was, what the humans called, a racist in a way. she didn;t like humans, just because. They seemed so goddamn weak! Her mother thought she was such a child (even though she was into her first adult years).
"of course what does mother know?" she muttered to herself as she walked down the path. she had run off from her home fully annoyed and bored. she wanted adventure and anything that decideed to step her way, friendly or foe, she wanted it dead.
"Loriri, stop being so insolent." she muttered to herself copying her mother's tone, "you're such an uneducated brat. i should punihs you!"
Loriri scoffed, "like she could. i'm stronger then her." She absent mindedly ran a hand through her long marron hair. She was proud of one huge thing. her looks. she was beautiful. all Mythra were. she hated to say it but she was rather vain, worrying over her hair the most. she loved it long and if anything dared to tear or rip even a strand out, well... they were dead... big time.
She frowned then glared at her claws. they were bloodstained. her hair was bloodened now! even with all her weapons her hands still got bloodened. her head rasied hearing a nearby stream, "perfect. i needed a bath." as she followed her easrs she soon could even smeel the water. she smiled. she loved water, which was strange for a cat, but she couldn;t help it. as she apprached the river, she grinned. bath time.

Gradd got up slowly, hed have to head to the lower part of Sand`oria to get a chocobo from the stables. This trip... it would be long... probrably his longest one yet. Slowly he shook his head, he could handle it no doubt. He was finally going to see Jeuno... he had wanted to see it since he was a child. The great city where all where one... There where no Sandorians, bastokian or Windurstian... everyone was the same there. Well from what he heard... if it was anything like what he had been told this would be worth the trip...
" Your heading a long ways out arent you Gradd?" a figure said from behind him. An Elvaan Red mage stood behind him dressed in a red suit and feathered hat. He smiled at his old friend.
" Dramanue?" Gradd blinked in surpise he hadnt seen him for a good two years... a small smile came to his face as he aproached him " its good to see you old friend."
Dramanue nodded slightly " yes that it is..." he smiled warmly offering his hand to him

Loriri looked around carefully before lowering her weapons to the grounds. Her weapons consisted of a sword and arrows. she really never liked axes. they just didn;t work with her, besides it was hard enough to carry the weight as it stood. any extra weapons and she;d be too slow in battle.
Next her clothes. she still wore her ones from her hometown. she;d have to wash them. they stunk and also they had blood all over them.
she stood, bare looking at her reflection. her skin was tanned, like most mythra's were, and her silky marron hair pooled over her shoulders. her eyes were dark blue, like the sea. on top of her head stood her catlike soft skinned ears and her similar feeling tail was twitching behind her telling her to get in the water already and stop staring vainly at herself. she grinned running her hands over her tanned soft skin.
"i really have to get over myself," she joked falling into the water. she had learned it was better this way then to take it slow. it was the same comcept as taking of a bandage slowly. spare the pain, take it and get it over with as quickly as possibly, and eventually the pain would fall away.

Gradd nodded slightly " yea well... as much as Id love to stay and talk old friend I really have to get going."
Dramanue nodded " yes I understand ive done my share of errands for our noble king" he bowed slightly " good luck to you my friend, and be careful through jugner when you get too it... its quite dangerous, orc almost seem to be at every corner, and its right next to Davoi the orcs home."
Gradd nodded " yeah I know... ive heard stories" Gradd shook his hand then turned " ill see you when I get back!" he then started to head off in a quick pace. Hed have to stop by the small stream in ronfure first to catch some fish for along the way...

the Mythra shut her eyes surfacing from the water her long hair flowing behind her. she began to wash. in her hurry to leave she brought nothing more then some food, reallying on her skills to catch anything else she might need to eat. it had worked so far but she wished for some soap.
"well, i have to work with whats given to me." she scrucbbed off the dirt and grim and blood, taking care with her hair. she shut her eyes just enjoying the moment. she loved batheing so very much.

It wasnt long before Gradd had gathered his supplies and left Sand`oria on Chocobo, he smiled as the choco trotted through the forest heading down the path of Ronfure forest. Ever since that fateful day when he had met with Zeid... the sword that was granted to him had been bringing him into a dark sense of life. The road of the Dark Knight was a lonley one, always scared of unleashing this darkness that had been put inside of him. Zeid was right... this life was hard but he had come to accept it... he had to be strong in order to keep this dark power and use it for good...

Loriri sighed hurredly washing her clothes impatient to swim. once she had done the tetious task she hung them on branches to dry then spun and ran and jumped right into the water. she then proceeded to take a few laps around the water at a leisreuing pace. she smiled.

Gradd stared ahead it wasnt long before he had reached the stream that lead to the pond where he would fish. He suddenly dismounted his chocobo and tied it to a tree gathering his supplies " nice... now I can relax..."

Loriri shut her eyes slowly swimming backwards just floating above the water. she was barely making a sound but also she wasn;t paying attentions to the noises around her. she always let down her garud when she was extermenly vunerabe. she just got caught up in things...

Gradd suddenly opened his eyes sitting back up as he heard something... " what the hell?" he blinked looking out towards the water " somebody there!?"

Gradd started to reel back his fishing line as he stared out towards the water... it could have just been an animal but... it sounded a bit big
