After drifting North for a while, Aphmau docked at a small Village. She waved at a few guards as they headed over to help her settle her boat. The Head Guard made his way over after Aphmau and Thorgi jumped off their boat.

The Head Guard: " Welcome Traveler, welcome to Meteli. Oh my."

Aphmau: " Uh, hi... is something wrong?"

The Head Guard: " Do forgive me, m'lady. It's not everyday that a beautiful maiden such as yourself comes to our small village. You are as beautiful as a pearl from the city of Alantis itself, so rare and beautiful, it just takes my breath away..."

The Head Guard was about to kiss Aphmau's hand, she was leaning back a bit, both uncomfortable and shocked that this man she just met was hitting on her right away. But before he could kiss her, someone threw a small rock at him, causing him to yell a bit and let go of Aphmau's hand. They looked back and saw two other women, glaring at the Guard.

One of the Women: " That Was For My Sister You Ass!"

The Other Woman: " Don't Listen To That Play Boy! He Said That To Me When I First Came To This Village!"

The Head Guard made a nervous chuckle, Aphmau had to hold back her laughter.

One of the Women: " You're LUCKY That You're Cute And A Charmer!"

Both of the women stormed off, but not before giving the Guard a wink or blew a kiss to him.

Aphmau: " A rare pearl from Alantis, huh? Seems to me that pearls aren't as rare as you make it sound."

The Head Guard: " *nervous chuckle* But where are my manners? My name is Laurance."

Aphmau: " I'm Aphmau, this is my dog Thorgi."

Thorgi went up to Laurance, licking his hand when he held it out and he rubbed his chin.

Laurance: " It's a pleasure to meet the both of you. So, what brings you to our lovely, little village?"

Aphmau: " It's a long and weird story, I don't know. Some Crazy Cat Lady told me to come here to look for someone to help with her cat because it grew into a large cat overnight after cussing me and Thorgi out a bit, mostly Thorgi because he's a dog."

Laurance: " Ah, I think I know the person you are talking about, and she told you to look for Castor."

Aphmau: " Castor? Is that your Lord?"

Laurance: " Castor? HAH! No, he isn't Thank Irene, he's a sorta friend of mine, you can call him a Shaman I guess."

After Aphmau mentioned the word Lord, she noticed that Laurance was sad for a second. Aphmau didn't want to push him about it, so she asked more about this Shaman as she walked around in the Village with Laurance.

Aphmau: " Can you tell me more about him?"

Laurance: " Well, for a while he wanted to be our Lord, but... how do I say this nicely... he was crazy and ungentlemanly like, but more crazy than anything. I don't know where he could be, but I suggest looking for and asking Kenmur or Hayden. They're usually bustling with information, so maybe they might know a thing or two."

Aphmau: " Where can I find them?"

Laurance: " After what happened... they're most likely bickering with each other in the Guards Station, that building over there. Anything else I can do for you, my love?"

Aphmau scoffed and punched Laurance's arm, causing him to laugh. Thorgi ran around the two, barking a bit

Laurance: " I love girls that are feisty, you'll prove a challenge but fear not! I shall win your hand, M'lady!"
