(Those who I said its okay to post here, may post here.

This is a background story for Rose, so if anyone else wanna join. Message me.)

Story so far: It has been two years since Rose's homeland had been destroyed. She had traveled on the boat for a year and made land on this place that sort of remind someone of England. She arrived at a small town, thankfully she had some coins.

The young woman, now 19 years old, stood beside the horse that she paid for a while back. She patted the horse gently,"Well, it looks like we are alone. I just wish I knew who would try and harm my homeland? They were peaceful people." A tear started to roll down the side of her face. "Draco..."

Avarious looked at his map again. According to it, he had passed rocky pass, but there it was, right in front of him. "Goddammit... Where the hell am I?" He glanced around. He and his horse, Cauldra, had been out her searching for a woman. She was traveling alone, probably with a horse. He was supposed to find her and escort her back to his client.

He decided to follow Rocky Pass for a while longer. Eventually he'd have to hit the road again, according to the map, at least...

He rode Cauldra onto the road. "Finally." He looked both up the road and down the road,then started going up the road. Eventually, he reached a little town. "Alright, now, where's the inn..."

Rosealine moved her horse to the stable and paid the amount for her horse to be kept watched, cleaned and fed properly. She didn't tell the man her name but he could tell by the clothes she wore, which was rather elegant clothing, that she was a noble of some kind. The young woman saw the expression on his face but she didn't say anything to the guy.

Leaving the stable, she made her way towards the Inn. She knew she had to find a place to stay for the night and it was the best way until tomorrow. Little did she know that she was being tracked down. She would have to be forced to fight for her life soon or later.

Avarious eventually found the inn, and went to the nearby stable. He left Cauldra with one of the stable boys after having an argument over the price. Avarious managed to save a few coins, and he pocketed his coin pouch as he approached the inn.

Avarious grinned as he walked in. The sounds it gave were his home. Travelers meet up here and become friends, even if they were going to rob each other on the road in a weeks time. "Inn keeper, get me an ale!" Avarious said, approaching the counter. The Inn Keeper nodded and handed him a mug of ale as Avarious counted out a few coins and gave them to him.

The young lady pulled her hood up to hide her face and made her way to the Inn Keeper, "Excuse me, Sir. I would like room for the night." Her eyes drift over to everyone in the room before she gave her money and the key to the room. The Inner Keeper motioned up the stairs and told her it was the second door on the right. "Thank you." She gave a gentle bow of her head and started to make her way up the stairs. Some men were watching her go up the stairs, one started to follow her and grabbed her arm.

"What's a pretty thing like you doing here?" He asked, his breathe smelled of beer and ale. Rose waved her free hand in front of her face and glared at him.
"Unhand me, Sir!" She struggles to get free but the man's grasp goes tighter. "Let me go!!" She screams out as he laughs.

Avarious frowned. Nothing spoiled a party mood like a rape. "Hey, friend." He said, standing up and walking up to the drunk. "How about we leave the pretty lady alone and we have ourselves a little party, huh? Me, you, and anybody else if they want. Heck, maybe later we can get her involved. Come on, what do you say, pal?" He winked at the young women, indicating to her that he was trying to get him away from her.

The man glared when the guy came up to him and started to speak with him. He was about to smack the guy away but when he mentioned several things that peaked his interest, his grasp slowly let go of Rose and he began to laugh.

Rose was about to glare at the man, but saw the wink from the guy. Her frown turned into sweet smile when she noticed the man had let go of her. Slowly moving away from the drunker but before she headed upstairs, she mouthed to the stranger, "Thank you."

Avarious nodded to the woman as he led the drunk away towards the group he was in before. "My friends, I got a nice amount of coin on me, so I'll keep the drinks coming for long while!" He said. The group cheered, and the partying began.

. . .

Avarious awoke with a headache. Maybe that last ale wasn't worth it... Okay, maybe it was, but he could do without the headache. He got up and looked around. The people he was partying with was strung out on several tables. Avarious blinked several times, then got up and checked his bag. Still had everything. He slung it on his shoulder and started walking out the door, nodding to the bartender as he passed.

Rosealine was at the stable by the time the man woke up. She was brushing her horse one last time. She paid a little tip for the stable boy for taking care of her horse. Which she saw the shock look upon his face when he saw how much money he got from her. All she did was smile and started to climb on her horse when she noticed the man exiting out of the Inn/Bar. When she climbed up onto the saddle, she moved the horse over to where Avarious is. "Excuse me, Sir. I would like to thank you for helping me back there." Her voice sounded like an angel talking, sweet and soft to anyone's ears.

Avarious grinned. "No problem, miss." Gods, she was beautiful, and her horse was gorgeous as well. Quite obviously some noble. "Say, you wouldn't be traveling alone, would you?" He had a feeling that she was who he was looking for. A woman with a horse traveling by herself... Him asking was more of a courtesy, really.

The young lady was rather puzzled by his question but she smiled softly to him, "Why yes, I am traveling alone. I just.." She paused for a second but didn't think anything of it on why he would ask such a question. "My homeland was destroyed and so I have left in search for a new one."

Avarious grinned. "Well, I'm looking for a young woman traveling alone so that I can escort her to my client. I believe that whom I'm looking for is you." He absently placed his hand on the sword at his hip. "I'm getting paid a lot to do this, so you're probably really important to whoever wants to see you."

Rosealine eyes widen when she head this, "Why? Why would anyone want me?! I'm not a princess or of any of that sort." She couldn't understand why someone would send someone to escort her to this person. Narrowing her eyes while grabbing the rings on the horse. "I'm sorry, good Sir..but I'm not going with you!" She kicks the sides of the horse and the horse rears up and begins to gallop away, as fast as it can towards the exit of the town.

Crap. Avarious was told expressly to not let her get hurt, so putting an arrow in her horse was out of the question. He wasn't that good of an archer. He rushed to get Cauldra. He threw maybe a few coins more then he should have at the boy, but he had to get her. "Ya, ya!" Avarious said. He didn't care how fast that horse was, Cauldra was one of the fastest horses Avarious has ever owned, and he owned quite a few horses over the years. There was no way that she was gonna get away from him. Why was she running, anyway? She didn't even ask why. Avarious made a mental note to ask her that after he caught her.
