Training Days (The EPIC RP)

[kelinna]

Letting out a small hiss of pain Kelinna griped the side of her forehead as Etrius woke her up to let her know they arrived. Stepping out of the buggy slowly she took in her surroundings,"its hard to believe that all that survives in the dessert...Will the marauders be able to find us if they choose to come after us?" Feeling slightly dizzy for a moment Kelinna griped the side of the vehicle for support, her head was pounding from the over use of eco today.

Eying the familiar rocky cliffs that tower over the small oasis from the back of the buggy, Karras jumps off the vehicle, tucking into a ball and rolling across the hot sand to slow his momentum. once he had stopped moving he stood up and dusted himself off, watching the buggy turn a corner past the oasis and disappear from sight, I guess they're moving on without stopping. The fools. You'll never survive out here if you don't even bother to stop at one of the only source of clean, drinkable water. He thinks to himself as he walks to the crystal clear waters, dipping his hand into the water and scoops it up to his mouth for a drink, Now, where to set up camp?

With his bag shouldered Etrius began walking up the trail passing from the hot sun into the cool shade of the trees. Walking around trees and the spares underbrush Etrius makes his way to a small clearing surrounded by the tall trees. A few rays of sun light pass through the limbs of the trees shining down on a small run down cottage.
Ivy grew up the wood sides while lichen covered the stone shingled roof. Putting his bag down Etrius sneaked up to the house. Looking though a dirt covered window he attempted to look into the dark recesses of the building.
Nothing moved inside that he could see.
Drawing one of his swords Etrius walked around to the door and tested the latch. It was rusty but it moved after some force was applied. Slowly pushing the door open Etrius walked into darkness of the cabin, his sword at the ready.
Nothing moved except the cloud of dust around his feet. Moving across the room Etrius checked the cabin until he was sure there was no hiding places left for anything dangerous.
Sheathing his sword Etrius looked around. "Well this is going to take some cleaning," he said as he went out to retrieve his bag. Coming back in he tossed it onto an old chair, resulting in an explosion of dust. "A lot of cleaning."

Walking closely behind Etrius, Kelinna was thankful for the shading the trees provided. Clutching her bag and staff tightly to her as they neared the small cottage she hoped that they would not run into any more dangers, seeing Etrius pull out his sword she wondered if he had sensed anything or anyone here.

Staying behind as he checked the house Kelinna noticed that if the cottage had been taken care of better it would have been a very lovely place to live. Not hearing a sound come from inside Kelinna walked inside the opened door, only to be greeted by a cloud of dust. Grimacing at all the dust she made a small sound of distaste at the mess, "well we are definitely going to have to do something about this now aren't we." Pulling her hair up into a messy bun she placed her bag on a dust covered table and leaned her staff against the wall noticing that even it was covered in a thick layer of dust.

With a nod Etrius opened his bag and pulled out some shorts, a towel, and a bar of soap. "Yes it will need to be cleaned up, especially since we will be here a while. But for now I think we need to clean up."
Etrius looked down at his dirt covered, blood encrusted cloths. "I'm going back down to the oasis to clean up. Your welcome to join me or you can wait till I get back. Either way I think it should be fairly safe around here for little while."
Even with those words Etrius did not remove his blades. Past experience had taught him better then to do that.
Looking around the house Etrius shrugged, "Besides the house can wait a little while longer to get cleaned up. Who knows how long its been here like this."
With that Etrius walked out of the dusty house, while he untied his head band and scarf. He needed a good washing, as well as his cloths to bad he didn't bring a lot or else he may have tossed these they were so soiled.

[kelinna]

Agreeing with Etrius she picked up her bag and grabbed the staff leaning against the wall, looking down at her semi-bloodied clothes Kelinna frowned from the feeling of the blood drying on her skin and clothes. Following Etrius out of the house and down the path to the oasis trying to breath in some fresh air Kelinna could only smell dust and the blood from earlier. "Etrius do you think that the maunders will try anything while we are still here?"
As they got farther down the path and closer to the oasis Kelinna squinted her eyes trying to make out what was already there. Walking closer she noticed that it was a man or something resembling a man's figure, confused and slightly curious she reached out with her eco to hear what the surroundings plants had to say to see if they where dangerous. "Sneaky he is child and crafty so be careful around him, be careful..." Taking there words to heart Kelinna slowed her steps down and started walking several paces behind Etrius.
