Chapter 2: The Road is long

Travelling on the dusty road gave the trio a very sore throat, that they decided to stop at the nearest town and head towards the inn.

AC: "Ahh.. this is better." *drinking his ale*

Ari: *looking around the inn*

Minmei: *looking at the green water that she had ordered*

AC: "What's the problem Ari?"

Ari: "This place looks kinda weird."

Minmei: "You're telling me, I didn't know that water can get so green."

AC: "You two are always suspicious about something, relax and enjoy our rest."

Bartender: "Well, I hope you three are enjoy my humble place."

AC: "Yes we are, I'll have another."

Bartender: "Right away my lord." *heading towards the bar*

Ari: "Hmm.. I think I know that person."

Minmei: "Where?"

AC: *drinking to his hearts content*

Ari: "That person in that black cloak." *pointing to a corner of the inn*

Minmei: "Hmm.. does look familiar."

Ari: *gets up heading towards the corner of the inn*

Minmei: *gets out her drink bottle and drinks her own water*

Ari: "Hello there, have we met?"

Cat: "Heheheh.. thought you'd never notice."

Ari: "C..Cat! What are you doing here?"

Cat: "I recieved a message from Red, he seems to be in trouble."

Ari: "Yes I know, Minmei, AC and I recieved a message as well. I don't know what the trouble is but we met a man on the road and he said there are monsters in the city."

Cat: "Hmm.. was this man carrying an axe?"

Ari: "Yes, did you meet him as well?"

Cat: "Yes, he was trying to persuade me not to go to Raderie."

Ari: "That's right, he tried the same thing with us."

Cat: "This is getting weird. Well I guess we can find out what it is when we get to Raderie, let's go and see if AC is drunk yet."

Ari: "If he is, then I'm not carrying him to his bed."

The night was long according to Ari, Minmei and Cat as they struggled to carry AC to his bed and the constant singing by AC didn't help either.

The sun streaked into the room where Cat slept, a gentle caress of sunlight touched her cheek. Ari already awake watched as Cat the Elf slept, as she wondered if it was a good idea to scare her awake.

Minmei: *jumped on to Cat's bed*

Cat: "Arrhh.."

Ari: *Guess Minmei beat me to it*

Cat: "Hey what are you doing?"

Minmei: "Time to get up sleepy."

Ari: "Hey what's that?" *looking out the window*

Cat: "Where?" *giving Minmei a nudge in her side*

Minmei: *going to the window as well*

Ari: "There, isn't that Snitz?"

Cat: "Yes it is, I wonder what he is doing here?"

Minmei: "Trying to persuade us not to go again."

AC: *stumbing in to the girls bedroom, while holding his head*

Ari: "Hey AC, Snitz is here."

AC: "What?"

Cat: "Hey Snitz, what are you doing here!" *yelling out the window*

Snitz: "Well, well.. I forgot something then I'll be off, remember it's not too late to be heading away from Raderie."

Minmei: "We don't let down friends!"

Ari: "Yeah!"

AC: *lying down on the bed*

Snitz: "Well, I've got what I came for.. Maybe I'll see you around again, if you're not dead." *riding off*

Cat: "What an idiot!"

The small rest period that they all deserved was over and they started riding towards Raderie, while in their minds they were wondering what lied ahead deep in the city.
