The woman in the bed knew exactly what the man was talking about, more than other did. She would tilt her head down, her face changing to one of sadness as a tear rolls down her cheek. The man knew he touched a sensitive subject so he was about to talk when she did it for him

" That was my sister... Alyshia Ashewalker... which is why you know our name... I was traveling with her and the other warriors of light... i was nothing compared to them, i still did everything i could to help... b-b-but... it wasn't enough..."

The man would feel guilty to have remembered Nevina of her past, he shook his head and looked at her with a worried face.

" My lady, please dry those tears, crying doesn't fit a maiden as yourself. I know it might seem a bit harsh to say this but if you really are determined to help us, you should rest today and start tomorrow, how does that sound?"

She would stop crying slowly, cleaning her cheeks and shaking her head, before she looks back at him and show a more determined face, to him, she knew what was important just from that look and the tears she was shedding a moment ago.

"Now that's more like it, and from the look on your face you want to get started right away don't you? Well i will gladly help you, but since you were helping the warriors you should know how to fight. Tell me, what kind of style do you use, since i will gather armor and a weapon for yourself"

She would shake her head, as she offered a smile to the man.

"That won't be necessary, would you turn around for a moment? I need to stand up"

He would be confused, he was offering to manage armor for her and she doesn't need it? It was very strange, but he would turn around and not look, as much as he wanted to see her. All he could hear was her standing up, her seemly small feet touching the carpet and the bed returning to the normal shape as she had left it, what did surprise him was after, as a light shines and instantly vanishes, the sound of something armored and heavy is heard. He quickly turns around in safety to check what it was before his mind was almost blow... The thin, small girl that he had rescued that was naked a moment ago was now fully armored, armor he had never seen before, it was clad in red and black, along with a chest piece that went down to her ankles like a coat. All that surprised him, but what felt more mysterious was that everything she was wearing, he had seen before, it was all armor that looked like Allagan.

"Lady Ashewalker, if i may... i have two questions... How were you able to change into that armor like it was nothing, with just a flash of light? And I saw those patterns and metal before in books, how come you are using Allagan armor? No one seems to be able to work it ..."

Nevina knew where she got the armor, it was from the depths of the planet itself but to say that to someone would be the same as a drunk man telling a story.

" Well to answer you..."

Her answer was halted as a maid comes in the room after knocking twice, looking inside before bowing down in respect.

" My lord... your father requested your and the guest's presence in his study and... oh... i brought some clothing but seem it wasn't needed, my lord is always so thoughtful after all"

He was about to answer back before she left, making him sigh as he would look at Nevina.

"I guess we should check what father wants, please accompany me"

Nevina would nod and follow him out of the room, while she was following, she looked around to the halls and decoration, it was all very different from what she was used to, making her wonder if she really belonged in a house this rich. Soon they arrive at the study, where his father would stand to receive them a lord would do, but this time he actually frowned at his sight was placed on what the woman was wearing, remembering something from the past and grabs his sword from it's sheath, pointing it at her.

" I was about to receive you nicely to our house but not before i demand answers! Why are you wearing allagan? Who are you exactly?! "

The son was appalled with the sudden change of behavior his father just had, he would frown and talk back.

"Father! Is that a way to receive our guest?! Have you gone mad?"

The father would wave his hand in dismissal, ignoring what his own son had just said.

"Hush boy! She may be a thief or a descendant of allag herself, we should not trust them! Now, answer my question!"

Nevina would be surprised but she would not flinch, but instead, would go closer until the tip of the sword was a inch away from her forehead.

"My name is Nevina Ashewalker, sister to the warrior of light Alyshia Ashewalker, and this armor i wear was found deep within the planet when the warriors of light were fighting and preventing the return of Bahamut itself, i was with them when they vanished, my own sister saved my life by sacrificing hers. So if you have anything to say is thank you for preventing another calamity and i'm sorry for your sister's passing!"

Her words were not spoken lightly has she was raising her tone, but that was not the only thing rising. A dark aura started to surround her, the air in the room seem to slowly thin out before she grabbed the blade of the sword and pull it out of the way, the strength would throw the sword and stick on the stone wall. After that she would extend her right hand to him, making him back away which was a good idea as something forms on her hand, soon it glows red and black and extends as a massive greatsword, glowing with red color lines.

" If you allow yourself to point a weapon at myself without even knowing who i am, then i shall the same to show the same welcome, you ungrateful bastard!"

Both man were surprised by the change of attitude but more for that weapon she formed out of nowhere and the dark aura surrounding her, the man behind her would place his hand on her shoulder lightly.

"Please remain yourself calm, my father didn't mean what he did, it was just a surprise for him for certain, so please, holster your weapon"

Nevina would sigh as the aura around her would vanish and she would fit her sword behind her back with one hand and hook it on it's holster, on closer inspection, the sword was actually her height, so she seemed to be quite strong.

"My apologies... i have a short temper when someone insults my family..."

The young man would shake his head and smile at Nevina

" Its quite alright, my father spoke out of term... so... father, what is it that you wanted?"

The lord would slowly get is composure back, taking a deep breath as he looks at both of them. He decided to stay quiet about the questions he had posed her for his safety.

"Ah Yes... my apologies, my behavior was not... proper... Anyway, i want to hear what you have to say, why come to Ishgard?"

Nevina would nod as she would move to the window on her right. When there, she places her hand over the glass and slowly talks.

"Dragons...a whole army sized group is coming this way... They ravaged my town and now they are coming here..."

The first single word make both of them men gasp, the rest would make them worried.
