Finally they set off

Furnin and Suna head back to their dorms to call it a day determined to get a good meal and a good nights rest before setting off on the journey.

Furnin pulls out a Gardrin bread and Hogs meat sandwich and sits down at his small table in his dorm room. As he eats the delicious foreign bread sandwich he ponders in his mind the possible dangers they may face on the road.

'are we ready? Have I thought of everything? What of this ethereal realm, or Jurathal? ' Furnin thinks to himself.

After Furnin finishes his meal he lays down on his bed the first time he's done so in a few days and drifts into slumber.

Furnin dreams of beings of energy, ancient beings long slumbering and a force unknown to Furnin the dream speaks of warnings and Furnin always heeds any kind of warning even if it is just from a dream.

Furnin wakes up from his warning dream or premonition, wipes off his face and gets everything ready. He packs up all the supplies and puts them in three seperate bags to carry two for him one for Suna. He then drags out a ornate chest from a closet and opens it with a key he had hidden in a drawer under some clothes.

He then gets out of his academy robes and changes into a tunic and breeches tan and green in color, standard everyday clothes.

He then takes out silver and embroidered armor from the ornate chest. He puts on the cuirass and fastened it, then armlets, shin guards and the battleskirt.

He then fastens the sheath to his waist and stands a Moment with hand resting on its gemmed hilt proud to wear his grandfathers armor. The last remaining connection to his family and he's quite happy his grandfather left him these war relics.

Furnin then puts on a dark green cloak over top the armor, since its rare he doesn't want people to know about it.

He grabs the three bags, Suna's bow and quiver of arrows then heads out to meet Suna.

Suna stands in her dorm as Furnin knocks on it. She flips out thinking about how she's only half dressed and he's already ready at the door.

She opens the door and Furnin sees her pop out her head from the door with a nervous smile and she says to him, "hold on a moment please, I'm not even fully dressed yet. "

Furnin rolls his eyes and says with a smile, " ok I'll be waiting out here then. "

Suna says, "ok thanks. " then shuts the door. Furnin sets down the bags on the floor, braces the bow and quiver against the wall.

Suna now rushes hurrying to put on her clothes she finds some clothes and she's remembered to grab the leather armor Furnin had bought for her. She fastens it on and heads for the dorm room door after checking herself out in the mirror one last time.

Suna opens the door and comes out and Furnin stands up getting off the wall and says, "the armor fits well I see. "

Suna smiles twirls around and says, "yeah, it isn't too tight or too loose either."

Furnin hands her a bag, her bow, and her quiver of arrows. And she fastens it all on. Furnin then puts the other bags over his left shoulder and they head out of the dorm building.

"now to collect our mercenaries. " Furnin said with reluctance to begin the journey.

Dorfam and fuea were ready to go waiting outside the guild hall.

They followed them out to the stables where Furnin had arranged for horses for all of them. Since he had planned for Luina coming he had already arranged for four horses.

They all four hopped on the horses and Furnin says, "let's go. "

They all rode out one by one in two by two formation. Suna beside Furnin and Fuea beside Dorfam. They ride out of the West gate and take the north road towards Vardell.

The ride consists mostly of Dorfam talking about past experiences with Fuea.

After a while they stop near Martrins' creek to rest as dusk is setting in. Furnin says as he dismounts from his horse, "let's make camp near that clearing by the road. The horses can drink from the creek nearby too. I'll take first watch you guys get some rest after we finish making camp. "

Furnin ties the horses around a tree and then proceeds to get firewood to make a fire and Dorfam helps. Suna and Fuea unpack some blankets and 4 pillows from the bags.

After the fire is started around a pit made of some rocks from the creek Furnin sits against a tree and says, "you guys get some rest. "

Suna says, "ok Furnin I'll take second watch wake me when it's my turn. "

Furnin nods and the other three make their beds and fall asleep under the moonlight. Furnin pulls out the ancient elvish book filled with the ancient runic language few care to learn.

Furnin spends hours decoding and decyfering the book. Before he knows it Suna is poking his side saying, "why didn't you wake me? It's far past your watch. Go get some rest its my turn. "

Furnin says, "oh, sorry I was preoccupied. " he rubs his eyes as they scream out for closing from looking at symbols for so long.

Furnin lays down and sleeps and Suna braces up against the tree eyeing Furnin as he sleeps.

She smiles as the thought crosses her mind, ' he looks so cute when he's asleep. '

Fuea stirs,  gets up and comes over to the tree where Suna is sitting. Fuea says, "mind if I sit down beside you? "

Suna says, "sure. "

Fuea sits down and notices Suna is watching Furnin and Fuea says, "you like him don't you? "

Suna blushes a bit and she says, "What? where did that come from?"

Fuea looks at Furnin and says, "the way you two look at each other it's clear that there's a bond between you two. And Furnin is quite a guy, definitely one of a kind. "

Suna says, " yeah that's my reckless hero, always helping others I just hope he doesn't push himself too far for someone. "

Fuea says, "I'm sure you'll be there when he needs someone to save him. " she nods, smiles, then goes back to her bedding and goes to sleep. "

Suna says in a hushed tone, "yeah... Hopefully. "
