She turns back to Sorrow and grabs a spare blanket, moving it over his body."Give me a moment to inform the neighbour. I know some people who can handle this." Karie darts out of the house momentarily, making her way next-door. After a few minutes, Karie returns, her approach to the house signified as stairs to the porch creak. "Sorrow'll be moved to the cemetery, and his estate dealt with once we've figured out what's going on. Dyric. you ready?" 2 Let's go. Rone leads the way, hurrying to the commotion. Seeing a somewhat familiar face, he rushed to the side of Vinsdcal, where he overheard the explanation of the small girl beside him. 'Kicked out?' Heroica has enough munitions to keep out an army, how does someone just 'kick' us out? Quote

Annienal looks back at the waving woman with the pale make up. She always kind of weirded her out, with her outlandish look. "I don't know where the current Veterans went, but the Hinckwells have left town and Count Shadeux was last seen leaving his house in shackles. The Crescent Union and the Sungold Alliance have disbanded, and the houses are in ruins. I, um, also appreciate the sentiment Vind, going out together again on an adventure, but... well, um... I'm leaving. N-not forever of course! I'm just... not going to be around for awhile." Annienal looked Vindsval in the eyes as she proclaimed to him what she was doing. Quote

It is good to see eye to eye with another. It is an experience he has not had since he left the north with his father. Those are truly lofty titles and stories of great legends throughout the many kingdoms. But they are tales of long ago. The Dragon has been gone longer than even the eldest know. If she is truly who you say she is, then I do owe her a debt, for it is here that I found a home. Before these walls I was persecuted as monster, as Other. Within them I found purpose. Search your roles, your lists of names of those among the great houses of this city. You will not find mine among them. I joined no guild, no family but that of the men and woman who stood beside me.

"You speak correctly in that it has been far too many years since I saw this hall. Soon my other companions will join us and we will investigate this matter in full. Be assured warrior, a fair judgement will be given. But for now I ask you to depart and spread peace among your friends, I saw much disdain upon the faces of other members of this hall, I wish not to observe it upon yours as well. If what you say is true, then I will be glad to welcome you back at the appointed time." Quote

He knuckles his forehead with his right hand, left forearm held horizontal before him at chest level. He bows slightly. You have dissolved my home, where would you have me go?

Listening to the rest of the Golden Dragon's point, Dyric nods slowly. Yes, but- Rone caught himself before he began another outburst. Challenging Veterans would not help any of their cases. Of course. I certainly hope you will keep us in mind in the deliberations.

Annienal closes her eyes as Vindsval says his prayer. She nods to Vindsval after. "Well... I'm going now. I'm, uh... heading out of here. I'm, um..." Annienal sniffles. She laughs. "I'm going to miss you, Vindsval. I'll, um, try and write to you." Annienal wipes away her tears before speaking to Vindsval one last time. "Well, uh, I suppose this is goodbye, Vindsval- definitely not farewell though! Um... *ahem* see you around."Annienal bows to Vindsval before turning around. She looks down the steps of Heroica hall and begins to descend the steps. She did not know what would befall Heroica, or her friends there. She inhaled the cool winter air as she headed out to the street."Hey." The pale faced woman called back to her. Annienal turned around as she looked back. "You're the girl Warlen liked, right?" She asked. Annienal nodded. She'd met Warlen? The pale faced woman grinned. "Don't let go of him once you find him. He's a keeper." Annienal was taken aback slightly by the woman's statement, but steeled herself and nodded confidently, gripping her fists. Looking down towards the harbour, Annienal went out into the world beyond Eubric Freeport with a newfound hope welling in her heart after what felt like years milling around the hall. Would she find Warlen? Would she fly as a dragon? Could she even fly as a dragon? She didn't know, but one thing she did know is that she could not do it while in Heroica. This was a journey she, for the time being, had to start by herself. For what felt like the first time in her life, Annienal Anavir embraced the unknown, unsure of where her journey would take her, and what she'd do on it. -Annienal Anavir Resigns from Heroica-Annienal Anavir (Kintobor)"20" year old elven female *Bonaparte Reputation* *Immune to Sudden Death, and Fragile.

Best of luck with whatever it is your doing. You're going to need it." Karie chided calmly before turning to Dyric and Vindsval. "I'm heading to that tavern everyone else is bustling over to.
