Chapter Two: Bulgar

The had started to set as we entered Bulgar. The city had a peaceful air about it, and wasn't super busy either. We had stabeled Lyn's horse outside the city. I sugjested that we find an Inn and she agreed. We didn't have to walk far before we found one. "The Bear's Claw Inn" It was empty, it looked like everyone had already gone to sleep. Aside from that, the whole building was made of wood, looked sturdy, and seemed kind of cozy. There was a man at the counter.

"Two rooms please." I asked the guy at the counter as we walked up to him. He was cleaning the counter with a slightly dirty rag, and looked tired.

"Sure, how do y'a want ta pay for it?" He replied without looking up from the counter.

I looked at Lyn and she said "Berneese Bells."

He nodded, looked up, and said "100".

Lyn opened he pouch, and counted out 100, and gave it to him.

"Ok. They are the 3rd and 4th rooms on the right." he said happily handing us the keys.

"Ok Lyn, lets go" I said to her. We walked across the room and up the stairs. When we got to 3rd room I bid her good night and walked down to the fourth room.

MMMMMMMMMMMM

After purchesing the suplies we had started to walk towards the edge of town when a man came up to Lyn and exclaimed "Oh, my heart! What a dazzeling vision fo lovelyness!".

"Hm?" Lyn looked at him confused. I chuckeled, turning my attention to him. He was wearing light grey trousers, with dark green grievs, and brown boots underneath. He had a dark green chestplate and gauntlets, with a black tunic underneath, lighter green hair, and a headband. All of his armor was trimed with gold.

"O beauteous one! Would you favor me with your name? Or better yet, your company." He said charmingly, with a big smile upon his face.

"Where are you from, sir knight, that you speak so freely to a stranger?" She inquired, rather irrateted. I just kept watching, highly amused.

"Ha! I thought you'd never ask! I hail from the Caelin canton, home to men of passion and fire!" He said with a bigger smile, and extreemly animated to.

"Shouldent that be "home to callow oafs with lose tongues"?" Se said coldly.

"Oooooh... you're even lovely when your cruel" he responded obviously not put out.

"Let's go mason. I've nothing more to say." She said walking passed him.

"Wait! Please..." The green knight begged as another knight, this one with a red chestplate and gauntlets with a lighter red tunic underneath, he had darker brown trousers and tan boots with red grievs on the outside. His hair was the same color as his tunic. All of his armor was trimed with gold.

"Sain! Hold your tongue!" the newcommer chastised firmly.

"Ah, Kent! My boon companion! Why the severe expression?" Sain inquired. It looked like this happened a lot.

"If you were mor serious, I wouldn't have to be so severe! We still have a mission to compleat!" Said the red knight sternly.

"I know that but how could I stey silent in the presense of such beauty? It would have been discourteous!" Sain said like it should be obvious.

"What do you know about courtesy!" retorted Kent.

I looked up the road and saw their horses were blocking it, and so I sugjested to the green knight "If I may, Sain was it, you should tone down your pick up lines a lot when hitting on commomers. Those lines might work better on nobles, as they tend to be much more succeptable to flatery."

"Don't encourage him!" Kent yelled at me and Sain just laughed.

"Excuse me, could you please move your horses, they're blocking the road." Asked lyn as she walked back, starteling Kent.

Kent said "Of course, my apologies..." and went to move his horse.

"Thank you. You, at least, seem honourable enough." Said the sacean girl as she walked by him again, down the now unblocked road.

Kenr gave her a wierd/confused look and asked "Hm? Pardon me, but, have we met before?"

Lyn stoped, returned the look, and said "What?".

"Hay! No fair Kent! I saw her first!" A rather stung looking sain interjected.

"Tsk! It seems there are no decent men among Lycia's knights! Lets go mason, I'm out of patience!" She said walking away. I decided I had better follow this time. As we walked away Kent called out for us to stop, wich we ignored.

"Hmm..." I said with a sideways glance at lyn.

"What?" she asked, trying to sound calm.

"What? Oh, nothing. Lets go." I said turning in the derection of the gate.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMM

"Damn! Were being persued! Could it be those Knights from town?" Lyn shouted as she noticed three figures following us on horses.

"No. These guyes don't have armour." I shouted back. Just then a man jumped out and rammed the side of her horse, knocking us both off.

"Heh heh Hehhhhhh... Aren't you the pretty one! Your name is Lyndis, right?" He said as he wked up to us.

"What did you call me?... Who are you?.." lyn asked absolutely dumbfounded.

"Such a waste, an absolute waste. Oh the things I'll do for coin... Ah well, time to die, Darlin'!" As he said this the other three cought up and dismounted.

"Shit! There's to many of them" I said thinking of my bucket list.

"Hey, there she is!" came a fermillier voice.

As everyone looked to the speeker, he said boldly " Such numbers against a girl, cowards every one of you."

"You, youre from-" Lyn started to say but was cut off by kent.

"We can disscuss that later" he said to her and then directed his next words to the bandits, "If it is a fight you want, then look to me."

"No! this is my fight. Stay back!" The swordswomon argued.

"How about this, you there command us. We will follow your orders during battle. Is this acceptable milady?" Kent said as the bandits stood and watched.

"Yes it is, lets go!" Lys agreed.

"Ok, Lyn take the boss, kent and sain, take one of the underlings, lets go!" I ordered. kent went for the rightmost brigind, and sain the left so I took the middle one. I ran at him and slid between his legs as he tried to split me. I stood up dodged the incoming, decapatation swing, sliped behind him, and put him in a headlock, choaking him in the process. After about 40 secconds he passed out, and then I broak his neck. I stood up, panting heavily, and looked around, Lyn kad killed the boss, and the knights had just killed theirs. The battle was won.

"And now for these knights of Lycia, you said you would share your story with me?" Lyn asked the knights.

"Yes, we have ventured from Caelin, of Lycia, in search of someone. We are messengers to the Lady Madelyn, who eloped with a nomad some 19 years ago." Kent said starting his story.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMM

"Acompany us to Caelin, continueing this was would be dangerous." Kent asked of his new liege.

"I feel I have little choice, I will go with you." Lyn said and kent relaxed. She then turned to me and asked "What will you do Mason?". I though of it like this: I could either have an adventure with lyn, and put my tactical skills to the test, or I could go on traveling alone. Simple.

"Of course I'll go with you."
