Valene Hunter

[Rynn]

Great. He's psychotic! Valene had to keep them busy for a bit longer. The wall was almost down.

[Jak]

With one final charge Aldan broke the wall

right under the lord

The entire wall crumbled, burying the lord under pounds of rubble.

[Rynn]

"Good! Lets get out of here!" Valene ran to the hole, grabbing Aldan's sleeve as she left. I wonder if psycho is going to follow us or not.

[Jak]

Leon ran behind them, cackling with glee

[Rynn]

After a while, Valene stopped running. She leaned against a tree to try to catch her breath. "Fire breathing... and running... doesn't work well when they happen... close to each other." She slid down until she was sitting on the ground. She looked up at Aldan. "Are you alright?"

[Jak]

Aldan panted "never *pant* been *pant* so angry *pant* before." Leon chuckled "well it was about time!"

[Rynn]

Valene looked up at the psycho that followed them. "About time for what?"

[Jak]

Leon shrugged and replied "'bout time he showed some backbone! He let you do everything-- What kind of a warrior does nothing?"

"A spineless one?"

[Rynn]

Valene held back a laugh. "Well... it's not like I really did anything before the arena." She raised an eyebrow. "By the way, what is your name? And why did you end up helping us?"

[Jak]

"I'm Leon Anders, and I was bored"

[Rynn]

Valene stared at Leon. "So you're saying you betrayed your lord because you were bored?"

[Jak]

"That, and he was a dick-wad cock sucking son of a bitch on a pile of shit!"

[Rynn]

"So you were more like a slave than his servant? Interesting..." Valene stood up and brushed off her tunic. "Well... I do need to say thanks for helping us out. We couldn't have got out of there fast enough without your help."

[Jak]

Leon smiled his... almost eerie smile as he replied "I just like to fight." Aldan took a few steps away after hearing that

[Rynn]

"Alright. Good enough for me. Now," She looked around. "Lets figure out where to head next. Do you know where we are Leon?"

[Jak]

Leon looked around, then replied as he chased a squirrel up a tree "Nope!"

[Rynn]

"Oh great. Well... I guess we'll just have to trek it and hope we get to another village." Valene took of her bag and took out the sheath and belt that came with the dagger. Since she needed it right away, there was no point in bringing out the sheath. She clipped the belt around her waist and the dagger. At least she was sort of armed.

"Ok, Aldan, we need to figure out how to hide your wings."

[Jak]

"A-a cloak...? maybe...?" Aldan suggested, the fact that he was far from home finally hitting him.

[Rynn]

Valene stepped towards Aldan. "Are you ok? Exhausted from your effort back there?"

[Jak]

Aldan shuddered and explained as Leo chased squirrels with his sword in the background "Well I-I... I've never left my house before so... being out here... I-I feel very exposed..."

[Rynn]

Valene lightly placed her hands on his shoulders and looked up a Aldan. "It's going to be ok. We'll watch each others' backs. And as soon as we can get your wings covered it'll be easier to not feel so exposed." She smiled at him. "It's going to be alright. And if it helps, I'm scared like crazy too."

[Jak]

Suddenly Aldan tensed, then sprinted like a mad man up a tree. Leon had snuck up behind him and poked his spine with a stick, he also had a squirrel sitting on his head.

[Rynn]

"LEON!!! NO! Don't be immature!!" Valene was ready to slap the guy, but decided against it. "Why did you do that??! He's already scared shitless!"

[Jak]

"I wanted to see if he had a spine"

[Rynn]

"Dear God really??" She growled, then looked up at the tree. "Aldan, c'mon. We have to get moving. Come down."
