"I suppose he isn't." Markus said, with slight relief he couldn't hide. "Well," He pulled out his purse and took out the correct amount. Raythor watched with disinterest. "Here's your money. Let's see what you have to say."

Ryan took the money wordlessly, then began: "The person who hired me to kill you had a subordinate bring me to an abandoned shack not far from here, maybe a couple miles. They went by the name Kari, although it was fairly obvious that it was fake. They gave me your description and told me where you would be travelling. As I said, they called me off. The note said they wanted to kill you personally. I then collected my payment and came here." He drew a strange curved dagger from his lower back and started examining it. "They were cocealing their face, but I saw it a few times anyway. It was a girl a few years older than either of you." Ryan studied Raythor's face. "She had the exact same hair and eye color as you." He pointed the dagger at Raythor.

"Kenetari?" Markus said, looking at Raythor with confusion. He shrugged. "Sure sounds like something she would do but..." "Who else would know where you were?" "I don't know. Doesn't matter, we'll figure out something." He looked at Ryan with absolutely no expression on his face. "Thanks I guess." His eyes passed with vague curiosity over the dagger before he looked up again. "Well. We should go." "Yeah..." Markus said unsurely.

"If you need more information you know where to find me." Ryan said, sheathing his dagger.

Raythor smirked. "Yeah I guess we do." Markus turned to go and Raythor followed him a few seconds later. Laura looked them both over instantly as soon as they were back among the Royalty of Everglade. "Are you both all right? What did he say?" She asked. "We're fine. Someone named Kari who looks like me tried to have me killed and called it off." Raythor said. Markus looked over at Laura, debating whether or not to tell her about his father while the dark haired boy kept talking. "If that doesn't have my sister written all over it, I don't know what does." "Everything that's horrible does." Rose said grouchily. "You stupid moronic idiot, how did you let her find you again?" "She always just knows." "Hmph."

Ryan watched them for a moment, then got up and walked up the rickety staircase to the hallway where the rooms were. He was almost to his when he heard the faint sound of a sword being drawn. Immediately he spun around, grabbing the figure's arm with his left hand and holding a wristblade to their throat with the other. It was an ugly man with dirty hair and holding a short sword. "I suppose you thought I didn't know you were watching me? You certainly aren't good enough to kill me." The man started to panic. "Pl-please," he stuttered, "She m-made me do it! I-I didn't want to!" Ryan cut into the man's neck slightly. "Then perhaps you shouldn't have." He threw the man to the ground. "Tell Kenetari that I am not someone she wants to make an enemy of." Ryan turned away and walked toward his room. As he walked away the man slowly drew a bow and began fitting it with an arrow. Ryan whirled around, drew a knife from his side, and threw. It struck the man in the throat, and he fell to the ground silently. Ryan walked to the corpse and collected his knife. "Well then. 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend'. I suppose I'll go greet my friends."

(omg new character or NPC?) "Well..." Laura's, her brow furrowed, tried to think of something encouraging to say. "At least you're both ok." She finished. "For how much longer?" Raythor said morbidly. Rose elbowed him. "Shut up! It's your fault we're in this hell!" "Let's not do this in a public place please." Markus said, putting a hand on Rose's shoulder. She sighed. "Fine."

"B-but he's not trying to kill you anymore, right?" Anella said in a small voice, glancing up a little.

"Right." Raythor said, nodding. He was about to add something when Rose glared at him. "Where's Rea? Let's get some rooms and hide in them." "Rose..." Markus sighed. "Really..." "What?" "Nothing." "If this really is Kenetari then we don't have anything more than usual to worry about." Raythor said, adding quickly: "Because of me." "You know that isn't true." Laura said. "Right, it's just a coincidence I'm her brother. And that he was after me, not any of you." "Do not do this now." Rose said, grabbing his arm. "The two of us are using your sharp little eyes to find Rea and you're going to shut up. Come on."

"Did someone say my name?" Rea said, appearing out of nowhere, with a wide smile on her face.

"Found her." Raythor said, jerking his arm away. "Rea, do we have rooms yet?" Rose asked instantly.

"Why yes we do!" Rea said cheerfully "But you don't want to go to bed already, do you?"

"I do. I feel sick. Raythor loves bars though, he'll stay with you." Rose said. "What?" He protested. "It might be safer." Markus shrugged. Raythor sighed. "Yes. I love... the poor lighting..."

"Alright." Rea said with a creepy smile at Raythor. Anella leaned against the wall, trying to be as invisible as possible.

"Have fun. They'll probably assassinate her first." Rose patted him on the back. "Markus, find our rooms. Laura, room with me or else." "All right..." Laura said reluctantly. Markus sighed and looked over at Anella. "Would you stay with them? We need as many people with Raythor as possible." "Don't do this." Raythor said under his breath. Louder he said, "Yes, Rea, let's go."
