"So this is the base of operations of the Netherbane?" Rain asked,
"Yep, all our expeditions and missions start here." Kane said.
"Very impressive." Rain replied as he looked at the building.

The group arrived at the door, as they entered Abigail let go of Rain's hand and slowed down. Rain stopped walking.

"Hey guys, you can go in without us. We'll come in a second." Rain said to the three entering the Tavern. He then turned to Abigail.

"UWWWWWWWWWWWW." Stella said as Kane and Ciara rolled their eyes and closed the door in front of Stella.
"Abi-" Rain said as Abigail interrupted him.
"I know, I just don't feel comfortable off going in there." Abigail said.
"Abigail, there is nothing to worry about. You can't choose to live a life of hiding just because you have horns on your head and are scared of what people might think about you because of it..." Rain said in a outraged tone "I won't talk you into coming in with me. But I will go to the bar and have a drink. And I'd be more than happy if you would join me." Rain said as he lowered his voice and walked in. As he walked to the bar the doors slowly closed without anyone entering.
"Hey Rain, let me invite you for a drink." Kane said as he waved Rain over to him.
"So where is your Princess?" Kane would ask as he laughed a bit.
"She doesn't want to come in here and make anyone feel upset." Rain told Kane.
"Oh... that's just... I can understand her but... that's just not ok. I'll go talk to her." Kane said as he was about to get up.
"No." Rain stopped him.
"What..." Kane was confused about why he stopped him.
"I want her to learn to accept that people will always look at her a bit different, that Is no reason to just stop yourself from going into public places. And besides... It's rude to leave the bar with a full cup... is it, Kane." Rain said. Kane cracked a smile as he grabbed his cup and clinked his glass with Rains.

In the meantime Ciara and Stella set at a table talking a bit.

"So... Stella. What was that all about?" Ciara asked Stella.
"About what?" Stella asked back in confusion.
"Well, the UHhhhhhh thing you pulled off at the door." Ciara clarified.
"Oh that, I find it cute how Rain and Abigail are in love with each other and get closer with time. Rain told me that Abigail wanted to wait but it appears that even she can't suppress her feelings for him. I support the two, while Abigail was gone from him, Rain used to talk with me a lot and he also talked about his past. I am happy that the two found back together. And I find it amusing how they act around one another." Stella said.
"So you ship them?" Ciara asked.
"I wouldn't say shipping. More like...... yea your right I ship them." Stella admitted.

As Rain and Stella were having fun in the Tavern, Abigail wandered around the Tavern.

"Urgh, why did it need to happen this way." She would say to herself.
"Why did I do it." She would repeat.
"WHY DID I AGREE TO THIS." Abigail shouted out as she punched a tree.
"You just fulfilled your destiny." A dark voice would say behind her.

As Abigail turned she spotted Naeus behind her. Without thinking she grabbed her weapon and threw it at him. The weapon went right through him and hit a tree behind him.

"Quite the excessive action, non the less... you can't kill a fabric of your mind my dear princess." Naeus said.
"I must say I am impressed that you survived. Surrendering the Nether Star was a clever way to avoid me but it would have only been a matter of time until I found out either way." He would say as Abigail just stood in front of him.
"Stop it." Abigail said to him. "I don't know what you intend by doing this but If you think I would join your cause once again you are wrong. You won't deceive me a second time." Abigail said as she pointed at him.
"Just look what this man did to you dear Princess. Getting sobby, and at the prospect that you may not be able to safe him from any threats you start to cry and shiver like a child. He made you weak. Let me help you get back on track." Naeus would say as he approached her.
"No...I... JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" Abigail would shout out as Naeous disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"What the hell was that all about." Abigail thought to herself. "Urgh, Rain is right." She said to herself in her mind as she walked back to the Tavern entrance. She took a deep breath and opened the door. As the door opened many of the people looked at the door to see who entered. As they spotted Abigail some had fear in their eyes. Others just went back to their own business, and others stood up with their blades drawn in expectance of their incoming death.

"Stand down, she's fine." Rain shouted through the tavern.

His announcement was met with confusion. But most of the people went back to their food and drinks. As Abigail walked through the tables many people looked at her. She tried her best to ignore the looks. She set down next to Rain.

"Well hello there Nether Princess. What can I get for ya?" Kam asked her as he cleaned a cup.
"I'd take the same that Rain had, and call me Abigail please." She said.
"Alright then Abigail, coming right up." Kam said as he grabbed a bottle.
"Hey, glad you decided to come in." Rain said as he looked at her.
"Well, someone has to make sure you don't drink everything up yourself." Abigail responded.
"Pfff, when did I ever get that drunk hm?" *Rain defended himself.
"There is always a first-time Rain." Abigail responded as Kam placed the drink in front of her.
"Enjoy." Kim said as he gave her a wink.
"Thanks." Abigail responded.
"Oh Rain, upstairs we have rooms for travelers who stay for the night. Each room contains two beds. So if you guys want to rest a bit you can sleep up there. We have some rooms free. So yea. Suit yourselves." Kane said.
"Thanks, I think I'll pick you up on this offer later." Rain said.

Rain, Abigail, Stella ate together.
"Mmm, this is so good. We didn't have a meal as good as this in a long time." Stella said.
"I must agree, this is really good." Rain agreed.
Abigal wouldn't respond at all and just yawned.
"Tired?" Rain asked her.
"A bit." She responded.
"Want to share a room?" Rain asked her.
"Huh, uhhhh. Sure, I guess." Abigail said as... wait what. "I just agreed to sleep with Rain in a room." She thought to herself.

*Stella would start making 'the look'. Ciara noticed and snapped in front of Stella's face causing her to stop.*

"Well then, I'll bring you up to your room then." Ciara said as she gave a wink to Stella.

Rain and Abigail followed her upstairs. As Ciara lead them to one of the rooms. She unlocked a door and opened it, she when let Rain and Abigail enter the room first, as she walked in behind her. The room contained two chairs and a table with a chest and a double bed.

"Here it is, enjoy." Ciara said as she walked out closing the door behind her.

"Hey wait a sec-" Rain said as Ciara ignored him and just walked out.

Rain would give out a sigh.

"Abi, are you fine with this? If not I can take a separate room." Rain said.
"No no, It's fine." Abigail responded as she leaned Ruby Thorn against the wall.
"Oh, alright." Rain said as he placed his weapon next to Ruby Thorn.

Rain then placed his items in the chest. Abigail would do the same shortly after. Abigail would when sit down on the left side of the bed and Rain on the right. They laid down and fell asleep next to each other....exhausted.
