Emerald Warrior

"Can I help with anything at all Miss Gwen?" he asked.

Then Ruriel came out, "Gwen are you feeling-" he found Ravatus, "Oh, excuse me." not knowing who he was.

Gwen nodded, "I'm fine Ruriel." and she turned to Ravutus "Thank you, but I'm fine really."

"Have you been around the Citadel yet?" he asked, but then the leading guard came up to him, "Sire, the King will departing soon." Ravatus sighed, "Very well."

Gwen smiled, "Well I guess we'll meet again some day."

"We will have to stay here for a while, just until Toximus can travel." Ruriel said, "I am going to look for an Inn, I had a friend who had one here, he would be as old as I am." he chuckled.

She smiled, "I guess that would be nice."

"So stay here until I get back." he flew off.

Nag sighed, "I had a feeling we would be ssstaying. It isss not a good idea."

She frowned, "Cause of Toximus?"

"Yesss....there isss a Bounty Hunter'sss Office here and some of the bessst hang around here." he was woried now.

"Oh... Will it be okay if we move him?"

"Probably not, but you ssshould asssk the healer." Nag suggested.

She nodded, "I'll go ask then."

The healer was just finishing up with cleaning the wound and dressing it in bandages.

"You alright my dear?"

She nodded, "I'm fine. I was just wondering when we could move him."

"I'm afraid not young one. I will need to watch him for a couple of days, but you may come any time to visit him." he said.

She nodded, "Thanks." She looked to Toximus. "He will be okay. Right?"

"I have been a healer for over a two hundred years my dear, I will no to call you if something happens." he assured.

She smiled, "Thank you very much Sir."

She went back outside with Nag and waited for Ruriel to come back.

"Will he have to ssstay?" Nag asked.

Gwen nodded, "Yeah he has to stay."

He sighed, "We can ssstay no longer than a week. If the Bounty huntersss get whiff of usss, we'll be in trouble."

She sighed, "That would be bad."

He hissed a sigh. Then Ruriel returned, "I found the INN and my friend says we can stay as long as we need to. Follow me." Nag got Gwen on his head and followed after Ruriel.

Gwen was given her own room away from Ruriel and Nag.

Nag was outside the Inn, since he was too big to go inside. Ruriel had to go out again to look for an account he 'hoped' was still open.

Gwen sat at her window admiring the city

Nag kept his face to her window, "Are you alright?"

She nodded, "I'm fine. Just admiring the view."

"You ssseem down." he laid his chin on the sill.

"I just wish Toximus was here." She sighed.

"I do too." he sighed along.

"I wonder who that man from earlier was.

"He did introduce himssself...Prince Ravatussss." Nag reminded.

"Oh yeah..." She said feeling a bit stupid.

"I think I have heard of him...he'ssss the King'sss older brother, he did not want the throne ssso he gave it to Raktim and all th ressst isss hisstory." Nag said.

"Really? That's interesting." She said. "Why wouldn't he want the throne?"

"The main reasssson wasss becaussse he wasss not one for being very ressponsssible. He was a bit of a philander." he explained.

"Oh!" She said blushing.

Nag hissed a chuckle.

After a few hours, Ruriel return, luckily with some cash in hand. He knocked on Gwen's door, "Gwen are you in?"

She got up from the sill and opened the door, "Yes what is it?"

"I think we should by Balthazarian attire so we don't stand out too much." he suggested.

She frowned, "But I like my outfit. It's all cute and pink!"

"But we must remained unnoticed, if you wear pink they will know you're not from here." he said.

She grumbled and sighed, "They better have some purple if not pink." Then something dawned on her, "How are you able to stay an angel?" She asked

Ruriel smiled and showed the gem around his neck, "You grandmother gave this to me, I can remain in my true form as long as I have this gem."

"And as for colours, purple is one of the colours of Balthazar, so we should go look for clothes." Ruriel said.

She sighed and nodded, "I don't have much of a choice do I?"

They headed out to the markets, Ruriel and Gwen found a simple Garment store.

Ruriel looked at the red coloured garments and a whatever green tones they had.

Gwen looked around trying to find a color she liked. She sighed when she couldn't find what she wanted.

"You seem lost." a feminine voice said.

Gwen turned to find a mocha skinned girl with long black hair with a cloth hood of white and her fine robes made of the same material.

"Well I can't find a color I like. All the color's a bit to dark for my taste. Do you have anything in pink?" She asked hopeful
