Its early in the morning, the dining room, left a mess. As for the ones who left it, most of them are still asleep. Besides Morgan, who is using the giant bath Kieran owns on his 4th floor of the palace. Wolf Moonflame and Kane Moonflame, are awake.
Orion wakes up. He notices that Morgan isn't in the bed they fell asleep in last night. "Muh? Oh, I guess she went to the...The boat...Ill ask Kieran or someone if there's a bath house..or something." Orion gets out of the bed and walks down the stairs. He ends up in a giant room. Orion looks around. The Giant room has a small little podium, with to separate stairways leading to separate places, one leads to a small enclosed bridge that leads to a room, where Kieran and Olivia sleep, There is a hallway across the room that leads down to the second and first floors. Kieran told Orion that he used to block off the extra floors with a red curtain, but recently decided it was unnecessary, and removed the curtains. The extra floors had a Bathroom, with a large bath. An Armory and a Living area, which had several small rooms, and down the hall from entering it, was a small coffee table from Avalon, by an Avalon Fireplace. Orion see's Kieran Ravenblood, Kieran Moonflames step-cousin. "Hey, Ravenblood...Uh, do you know where the bath house is?" Orion asks. "Yeah, its up those stairs, the first floor up those stairs you just walked down." Ravenblood says to Orion. "Thanks." Orion slowly trudges up the stairs. Kieran and Olivias Room is up the passageway, and to the right in the giant room, where Kieran placed a small throne. Kieran wakes up, in similar manner to Orion, his wife isnt there either. "I guess she went somewhere. Ill see how Orion is, see if he's awake.." Kieran lazily walks down the hallway like bridge connecting his room and the main castle. He can see the entire town from the bridge. Kieran opens the door to the at the end of the bridge, leading into the main castle and heres Ravenblood explaining to Orion where the bath house is. "Hey! Orion...You going to the bath house?" Kieran asks. "Huh, Yeah. Why?" Orion asks. "I was going there too actually, don't worry, theres several small bathes and a large one." Kieran adds in, unnecessarily. Kieran runs down the stairs, nearly tripping, twice, and catches up to him. "Oh, wait, thats right, I have to polish some of my weapons, ill probably be there in a bit, otherwise Ill start cooking." Kieran says, he runs up an extra floor. Orion stares and walks around the floor they are on. He looks out a window and sees a few people walking around the shop. He barely notices the bath house door open then close. "Wow...I wonder how much money Kieran has. Sure Orion is has lots but this is an amazing bath." Morgan quietly says to herself. "But, Kieran kinda bought lots of random stuff. Maybe he didn't buy it. Yeah. Thats probably it. I mean, he DID save several worlds, so most of this stuff was probably gifts." She says to herself. "So, you normally talk to yourself like this?" Morgan squeaks, and looks up, only to see Olivia getting in. "Oh...Hey...Bloody hell, you scared me." Morgan laughs. "I thought you where Orion, or someone else." Morgan says trying to hold back her laughter. "Well, at least with Orion it would but..somewhat understandable?" Olivia asks. "Well YEAH it would, sure I wouldn't mind taking a bath with him. I've never told him this by the way, but still, I want to be able to have time to relax, he understands." Morgan says. "Kinda the same thing with Kieran. He'll normally just cook when I'm in here. Or he'll just go defeat whatever little migratory monsters happen to fly by the island and decide to stay the night." Olivia adds. The two talk away about random things they do with there free time, which mostly consists of training, fighting, or traveling. Orion is still staring out the window. He decides to stop, and walks down the hall. "I'm so beat. Hope the waters hot, it'll feel so great afterwards" Orion walks in the bath house. Theres a large window right by the main bath. Just as Orion takes of the brown slightly over sized tunic he wore to sleep, he hears from the back of the room. "Orion...what the hell are you doing?" He turns slowly, only to see Olivia, and Morgan hiding just low enough in the water, so only there necks are above it. "Uh...I...Uh...Um" Orion tries to come up with an honest answer that wont sound weird. "Orion, really, if you want to bathe with Morgan, try to let her know in advance. She told she wouldn't mind. And if your going to do that, at least let me get out first." Olivia says. "Right! Wait, OLIVIA!" Morgan shouts, "No! Its not that! I didn't know you guys where in here! Honest!" Orion stammers, blushing furiously. (Crap..Kierans going to KILL me!) he thinks to himself. The door opens and Kieran walks in, "Yeah, I'm going to take a ba-" Kieran looks up, only to see two girls in a bath, and a half undressed Orion. There is an awkward silence for about twenty-five seconds, until Orion speaks out with a simple "...Hi..." Kieran slowly walks out of the room backwards. Shutting the door slowly. "Ill just go." Orion says look at the floor, embarrassed. He walks out looking down, and bumps into Kieran, who is laughing so hard he is crying, and is face is bright red. "Hahaha, Orion, I'm sorry! Hahah, That's too funny," Kieran laughs. Orion stares at him blankly, "Hey your wife was in there too Kieran so shut up!" Orion counters Kieran. Kieran stops laughing. "Shut up," he laughs "Its not like she wouldn't mind anyway." After a few hours they head down to the Boat. Bonnie Anne drove it here. "Captain! Good to see you!" Orion smiles and waves to Bonnie Anne. They hop onto the boat. Kieran, and his brothers, Wolf, Kane and Blaze Moonflame have all ridden a sky-boat before. But only twice. The first time being when they arrived to Wizard City from Avalon. The Second time being when they went to Grizzlehiem to establish trade. "It'll take us a while to get there so make yourselves at home." Morgan says to Kieran. Kieran, doesnt respond. He is to busy watching his Kingdom grow smaller and smaller. As Orion rides along the skyway to the destination, he notices. Something is following them, he tries to adjust the ship so it'll move faster through the skyway. But it doesnt work all that well. "Where are we headed?" Blaze asks Wolf. Wolf tells Blaze and Kieran, Orion, and Ravenblood were talking about Grizzlehiem. The boat heads toward the dock in Northguard slowly. Orion walks down from the wheel. "We're going to stop for now. We've been Traveling for hours." Orion says. "So, we are just parking here in the middle of this Skyway?" Wolf asks. "No, i took us out of it a few hundred feet. We should be fine." Orion answers. Kieran stares at Grizzlehiem. It had been nearly two years since he was last there, when some other issues started, it was shortly after he defeated Malistare when he went to save Grizzlehiem and Wintertusk. Kieran notices another ship he hasn't seen before. Its rather large. It has a scarlet base and crimson x. The design is a bright scarlet skull, with black eyes. Kieran decides to keep this to himself as he feels they might just be other explorers, but something about the ship seems, odd, off, and rather, unsettling.
