The Tale Of Varathia

The Journey Begins

Jasko and Araka rush up to Arilo as Arilo swings around almost hitting the two by accident with his newfound blade.

"Sorry! sorry!"

Araka and Jasko didn't mind as they chuckle a bit

"To think this entire week I was training a multibond! I have so many questions, how many bonds do you have? what are they? can you use multiple at once?"

Jasko's list goes on and on and on. Araka however just looks at arilo questioning him in her mind.

"So Arilo, hows it feels to know you're multiond?"

Araka questioned looking at him suspiciously.

"I mean I feel the same" His sword finally dissipated into thin air. "though Jasko, I think you need to train me even more!" Arilo stated while smiling widely.

Jaskos face lit up even more than before. any more good news and he might explode.

"Really! you want me to train you!?"
Arilo nodded smiling.

"Me, a boxer, only has one bond, a 56-year-old man..."

Arilo stops his rambling by placing his hand gently on jaskos shoulder, Arilo had to go on his toes to reach his shoulder.

Arilo smiled again, "Of course, I would wanna train with you! If araka can come along of course!"

Araka looked up at Arilo a little shocked at his comment. why would Arilo want araka to come along, after all, jaskos right? Arilos is much stronger than she and Jasko combined.

"W-wait, what's going on here? what are you planning? are you working under the king's control secretly?" Araka gasped, "you are! your one of his royal knights arent you? That would explain the royalty swirls and symbols on your clothes and wraps! I knew they looked familiar!"

Arilo looks at Araka and chuckled under his breath. she holds a grudge against the king, and he wanted to ask why but he knew he had to calm her down before asking anything.

"If I was a royal knight I would be a pretty shitty one considering I want to dethrone him ever since you told me he kills his kingdom."

Araka looks at Arilo, her hand behind her back near her waist, looks like she was grasping something that looked like a handle, but the grip loosened and her hand went limp next to her side, her breathing slowed and she sighed.

"we've only known each other for about a week. if anything we gotta bond somehow." Araka suggested still staring at Arilo for a few more moments.

Jasko agreed and Arilo nodded smiling,
"Well let's go eat something and we'll talk about our hobbies and goals, that should help a bit! right?"

Jasko and Araka agreed. the crowd from earlier died down exponentially, there were still a few people outside talking about Arilo and his newfound power. Including the bartender

The two teens and the mentor walk back through the town gates and into Jaskos favorite restaurant. It was like the tavern in the woods but this one looked to be more clean and sophisticated.

The group sat down on three stools and order their drinks and food. Jasko ordered rum and The teens order simple water.

Before anyone could ask anything to Arilo, since he knew they had so many questions, Arilo asked a question to Araka.

"What were you doing in that tavern when I arrived Araka?"

Araka almost choked on the water she was drinking, "O-oh u-uh, I, heh, uh, I heard there was a storm coming in from the north, so I found the closest building and just waited out the storm." she said nervously, somewhat embarrassed, not wanting to admit she didn't have a home or place to stay. Jasko ripped that bandage right off.
