Night had fallen in Khalgon. The wind blew through the gypsies brown hair, causing it to fall into her eyes. Her blue eyes took in the city she'd been away from for so long. A small smile crept over the girls lips as she breathed deeply. The lights from the houses stuck out against the darkness like fireflies on a midnight background.
Velkan, where are you? The girl thought sadly, it had been a few years since her brother had disappeared and she was alone once more. Looking around the street where she stood, he hand hovered gently over the hilt of her sword, she was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't here footsteps behind her...

Julia strod up behind the woman. She had seen her once before. They were on the same side. "Hey there," she said, letting the woman know she was there.

Anna turned her head slightly, she'd spent most of her life in this place so she wasn't jumpy anymore, however she tightened the grasp on her sword. It was only when she saw the face of the girl, that she recognised her to be a friend and ally.
She relaxed, playing with the ring on her finger and smiled at the girl, "Hello.."

"What are you looking for here?" Julia was curious. She could tell there was something about this place that was important to the other girl...

Anna shrugged, "I'm looking for my brother, Velkan. He was last seen here and I need to find him...." She sighed, knowing she had to tell this girl, "Can you keep a secret from that sexist pig, if he finds out he'll stop me from going.." She didn't even wait for an answer, "My real title is Princess Anna Valerious of the Gypsies.." She seemed visibly thankful to have got that off her chest.

Julia laughed at the fact that she and her new friend both had the same view of the man they now accompanied. "Don't worry. I won't tell him." She grew serious then. "So, royalty. huh? At least they let you fight in your family. Don't tell Ryan, but my family is not far off from royalty either. With you, you can still fight. As for my family, they wouldn't allow it."
She looked around the area. "So, how can I help you find your brother?"

Anna sighed, shaking her head, "I don't know..and they didn't. Velkan taught me after dark when they were asleep. My father wished me to learn the sword and taught me basics but Velkan taught me the rest..."

"Ah." Julia smiled. "My father taught me as well, but not because he wanted to. He did so on a bet. I guess we should look around and see about locating your brother. We'll have to be careful, though."

Anna nodded, "Yes, I'm kind of undercover, hiding so to speak", she smiled softly, "Do you know how much my head is worth to the Goblins?"

"Not really. But I exspect a lot. We'll keep a low profile and just look around a bit." She pulled her cloak on and smiled at the other girl. "How much trouble could we possibly get into?"

Anna laughed softly, "Do you want me to answer that?" She pulled up the hood of her clock and sighed, "Let's go..."

Julia walked through the streets with Anna, feeling edgy and watchful. She was not letting her guard down in this place. Shady characters were all too frequent in these places, and she kept a close watch on anyone who came too near. She watched for anyone who could have possible been related to the girl beside her.

Anna led Julia to the nearby tavern, "You want information you come here.." She pushed open the door, wincing slightly as the bright light blinded her. SHe entered, lowering her hood, "Miss Valerious, the usual I presume?" Anna nodded, "Make it two William..." sHe led the girl to a back table, "Wait here".
Anna stopped next to the bar tender, "So William, any news on Velkan..." The man shook his head, handing her the drinks, "Afraid not Anna, I'll let you know when I do". The gypsy nodded, sitting across from Julia, "Nothing"
