"And it stood there, the towering beast," a stout, portly man cried out to the small crowd that had gathered to hear his story, looking disheveled and as if he had rode into town tied to the back of his own horse. "Staring down at me with a flame in its eye brighter then a desert sun! And it released a growl so fierce I swore it was going to rip open the heavens itself to send me to meet the gods." the man was visibly shaken, but the tale looked to not spook the patrons of the Moss Mouth Tavern in the slightest. "And...And..." the man tried to think, seeing the disbelieving looks and hearing the drunken whispers that he was simply taken a fool by the lady bandits that have made themselves known in these parts, "Had I not seen the bastard with my own eyes I'd not believe myself were I to hear the tale echo of the walls. But I swear to you I speak truth!" the man continues as only the drunkest of men stand to listen, with the tavern wenches giggling in the corner at the foolishness of it all.
Ke Ial sits at the bar having returning to his flagon, others had done the same as the tallest tale was strung clearly from the ramblings of a madman. The thought of coin had delighted him but such a story was beyond belief. 'Beast with glowing eyes and a growl strong enough to shake the land'? Man was probably topped of on mead and mistook a burning tree and roar of thunder as a dangerous monstrosity. Such a thing could not move noticed by the guard or Ke himself for any such amount of time. Though the guard has been overtaken by a group young knights of the near kingdom, sent to aid in the towns protection but would rather spend their duties bedding the local ladies and toying with the drunkards and urchins by demanding ridiculous tasks be done lest they see their already ill set fate end within the walls of a prison. Ke on the other hand has taken his drunkenness to his home in the woods, left relatively at peace except for the occasional harassment to give the king his due in taxes buy the collector and his team of corrupt guard that take a cut from the overcharge that is demanded as personal compensation by the collector with out the knowledge of the king.
Ke Ial has learned much since living within the outskirts of Domin's Cape, an old sea side town forgotten the world with it's only hope that the sea may one day wash it from the otherwise well run kingdom. Paying for his drink and giving a knowing grin to Shimal, Ke's preferred waitress and upon more then one occasion companion of the night, as he leaves the tavern into the darkness, lighting a small lantern as he moves from the town towards the wood line, then quickly turns and moves along an unseen forest path as he makes his way to his hovel, plodding of footsteps and buzz of insects being his only companion this night, and leaving him yearning for the touch of Shimal as he regrets not paying for her services upon the cool summer gloom.

Wondering from place to place, doing odd jobs here and there, soon brought the young black knight towards the seaside town from the forest. Her armor jet black plated steel, her shield on her back and her broad sword sheathed on her hip. Even though her style of armor can determine a woman or a thin man her helmet tends to mask her voice so that just leaves people guessing. Which is lucky for her after witnessing some Knights having there way with some ladies in the alley between two buildings. The sight was appalling but she didn't really care what happens as she made her way towards the coast. Of course seeing how the locals were, she concluded it was best not stay at the tavern. As she walks some people were giving her looks some of fear and dread and others of curiosity.
Either way she soon arrives to the beach and stares out into the ocean as the breeze whips through her armor. She then finds a nice cluster of rocks more inland from the beach and sits on the sandy ground with her back up against the biggest one towards the water in the distance. She goes ahead takes her shield off her back puts it beside her and her sword on her lap. She got cozy and tilted her head back up against the Rock and slowly started to fall asleep.
