Connecting to 167.114.203.97:7778Connected! › You have joined the conversation. Guest_Mara The three of them reach a section of the trail that splits off in two directions...Bae turns to Mara... Guest_Bae : You sure you dont want us to escort you back? Guest_Mara : I am a big girl...I will be fine...besides...I need to find some herbs before I head back› Guest_Aliyah +q Guest_Bae › Guest_Aliyah has changed your modes to +q Guest_Mara nods her head... Guest_Bae and his servant head off down the trail...soon out of sight in the deep dark forest... Guest_Aliyah continues wandering away from the barrier, deep in thought Guest_Mara moves along the trail toward the Forbidden Fortress...dismounting after a while...starting to search for the herbs and roots she was told to gather...› Guest_Bae has left the conversation. Guest_Aliyah feels the change in temperature and stops, looking around, grimacing and turns back, getting lost soon coming up on the trail Mara was at Guest_Mara is kneeling in a patch of small white flowers near a fallen trunk...taking a dagger from her belt...she starts to dig...spotting a prize...a rare root that her mother had been needing for a while...night root...her digging catches Aliyah's attention... Guest_Aliyah stops when she hears the digging, and turns towards the sound. she freezes, suddenly realizing she had crossed the barrier...she starts backing way Guest_Mara freezes...sensing someone else...she slowly stands...holding her dagger ready...she spots a young girl....just a bit younger than herself..."Who goes there?" Guest_Mara when she stands...Aliyah is surprised to find herself facing a young girl...a bit older than herself...who looks just as surprised as Aliyah... Guest_Mara : I wont hurt you... Guest_Mara : not unless you give me a reason to Guest_Mara : This forest is dangerous...why are you out here alone Guest_Mara : Not smart Guest_Mara 's attention is suddenly distracted...she looks at the forest... Guest_Aliyah when the girl gets distracted, Ali starts to run back in what she hopes is the right direction Guest_Mara : HEY Guest_Mara : STOP! Guest_Mara chases after her... Guest_Mara as she runs...it suddenly becomes clear what distracted the other girl...wolves...a whole pack of them... Guest_Aliyah as she runs, she tries to concentrate but trips over a root, falling to her knees, hearing the pack right behind her Guest_Mara runs after the young girl...grabbing her by the arm...hauling her back onto her feet... Guest_Aliyah how close is the barrier?" asks as shes helped to her feet Guest_Mara : Fortress is closer! Guest_Mara skids to a halt...making Ali stop as well...seeing the pack leader is right in front of the two girls... Guest_Mara slowly slips a potion out of her belt pouch...using her fingers to uncork it..."When I throw this...run...follow the cliff...we have to out run them...before they surround us..." Guest_Aliyah nods, suddenly wishing she hadnt snuck away from the palace Guest_Mara throws the potion...which explodes in a purple and gold shower...the sparks start to attack the wolves...Mara grabs Ali by the hand...forcing her to run with her... Guest_Mara With the wolves distracted by the potion...the two girls run as fast as they can...after an exgushting run...the girls have to stop to catch their breaths... Guest_Mara : Bet you didnt plan on that when you got up this morning Guest_Mara is breathing hard...giving a bit of a laugh... Guest_Mara : tigers? Guest_Mara : lucky you Guest_Mara : we need to keep moving...before they pick up our scent Guest_Mara : Barrier is over that ridge Guest_Mara says...suddenly studying the younger girl..."You're...from...Mysthaven." Guest_Aliyah backs away slightly "yes...i better get back..." Guest_Mara sighs..."I should be arresting you for trespassing..." Guest_Mara : honestly I am too tired and winded Guest_Aliyah : so its just right over that ridge? no reason for you take me there... Guest_Mara hears a rustle behind them...she quickly stands...scanning the underbrush.... Guest_Aliyah swallows hard and starts to head towards the ridge Guest_Aliyah swallows hard and starts to head towards the ridge, after grabbing hold of her, running Guest_Mara is forced to run with her...Ali can see the shimmer of the barrier...just before Ali can cross over...Mara pulls her hand free...letting Ali go through without her... Guest_Aliyah stops after she gets through and turns back, hoof beats heard off in the distance, and voices yelling out Guest_Mara unsheaths her sword..."RUN!"...She stands in a defensive postion as the pack closes in on her... Guest_Aliyah without thinking, Ali crosses back over, grabs Mara and pulls her across the barrier, just as her grandfather's guards appear Guest_Mara gasps as she is pulled over the barrier...but regains her senses enough to swing her sword at one of the now charging wolves...cutting it deeply before it can sink its teeth into Ali...the two girls trip over a large rock...falling onto their backsides... Guest_Aliyah the head guard jumps down from his horse as the girls fall on their backsides "Princess! are you alright" as the other guards surround their princess and other girl, forcing the woves back Guest_Mara tries to stand...letting out a angished gasp...she reaches for her ankle...feeling the dislocation Guest_Mara : Princess? Guest_Aliyah Razoul looks at her "yes..Princess Aliyah of Agrabah..." as he helps Ali up and another guard gently picks up Mara Guest_Mara : I am fine! Guest_Mara tries to stand...but quickly looses her balance... Guest_Aliyah Razoul "lets get you back to the palace...your grandfather and parents are worried about you, highness" Guest_Mara The guard holding Mara looks at his captain..."What about the Borderlander?" Guest_Mara : Put the Borderlander back on the ground...I can take care of myself Guest_Mara : what! Guest_Aliyah : Razoul: her highness is right, you need your ankle taken care of, and with those beasts roaming nearby, you would not make it back Guest_Mara 's already pale skin goes a shade paler...the guard takes her over to one of the horse and places her on it...holding onto his mount just in case she had any ideas... Guest_Aliyah looks at Razoul "or maybe I could..." he looks at her sharply "no..." and leads her to his mount, helping her up before getting on himself and the group heads back to Agrabah Guest_Mara the group arrives back at the palace...the girl is taken to the healer's...› Guest_Aliyah +q Guest_Jasmine Guest_Aliyah "come in" she says sitting at her vanity, brushing her hair Guest_Aliyah puts her brush down and turns to look at her mother "thats true..." Guest_Jasmine : just be glad your grandfather was traveling for this...otherwise you wouldnt hear the end of it Guest_Jasmine : you a not a child anymore Ali...I cant ground you for this...not anymore...but you need to stop and think before you go off like that... Guest_Aliyah : about this I am, but I miss them...where did they go again? Guest_Aliyah : just a council meeting? you know grandfather has been hinting putting me and Philip together... Guest_Jasmine : I am sure its on his agenda to discuss it with Stefan and Aleah Guest_Jasmine : but in the end...its still your choice...your father and I will support you no matter what you chose Guest_Jasmine : I know...unfortunantly your grandfather is too...obvious to the situation...to see that Guest_Aliyah sighs "I know...and he always tells me to the leave the tigers locked up when we have visitors..." Guest_Jasmine : he doesnt want a diplomatic incident...speaking of visitors...the young lady you encountered...dislocated ankle...she is going to have to stay off it for a few weeks... Guest_Aliyah : I couldve healed it for her, but Razoul snapped at me....she isnt going to like that... Guest_Jasmine leans over...kissing Ali on the head..."Its late...you should be in bed..." Guest_Aliyah : I will in a little bit...hate to admit it, but those wolves scared me...and so did the borderlands Guest_Aliyah : thank you....and im sorry for wandering off like that....
