The Village Center

In the center of the village, a Garif trader allows you to buy and sell goods. Around you, you see Garif sparring, talking with the elders, and herding various types of animals. This is a very respectful tribe of people, and to be respected here you must be a courageous warrior.

Valia and Sasume would ride into the village on the Chocobo.

She would jump off the Chocobo and hand the reigns to one of the Garif warriors at the gate.

Hey guys! How's the village been? No trouble yet?

She would ask looking around at some of the familiar masks she had seen a long time ago.

He jumped off the Chocobo and looked around.

Whoa..

She looks back at Sasume and smiles as some of the Garif warriors come over and start talking to her.
_______________________________

The village has been better, there has been some strange activity in the Zertinan Caverns though.

A Garif warrior explains to her.
________________________________________

Oh ok, well we can go have a look around if it helps any.

She smiles nicely at him.

He stared at the Garif warrior with cold eyes.

....

The Garif warrior doesn't even glance at Sasume as he nods to Valia.

If you could that would be very helpful.
_________________________________________

She would look back at Sasume and then back at the Garif warrior.

Uh..Ya we'll just go ahead and go check it out now. Lets go Sasume.

She would climb back onto the Chocobo and wait for Sasume.

Huh? Oh Right..

He jumped onto the Chocobo, and held on to Valia.

Let's go!

She would kick the Chocobo and they would sprint out of the Village and over to the Zertinan Caverns.

He walks through the village with his hood up.

After walking for several hours on the Ozmone Plain she arrives at Jahara and walks through the village gates. "Hmm.. I bet there's a merchant here who sells supplies, cuz I'm just about out of food and water."

______________________________________________

A few minutes later she arrives in the village center and looks around, seeing mostly Garif. "Wonder where a merchant is.."

He noticed Icisia.

A Nasty Grin appears on his face, and his eyes turn a light blue, signalling he is happy.

She has a slight sense that someone is watching her and her eyes shift from blue to a tint of green to show she's more alert.

"Hmm..who's that.." she mumbles very quietly under her breath as she walks over to a Garif who looks like he may know which Garif is the merchant around the village.

He walked over to her and put his claws to the back of her neck.

Icisia Sonavilia (Did I spell it right?) You are under arrest.

As soon as she feels the cold blade of the claws on the back of her neck, her body reacts without her thinking due to instinct. She quickly ducks down and kicks one of the knees of her attacker with tremendous force, then she rolls to the right on the ground and stands up drawing her sword. She looks at him as her eyes shift to a reddish color.

"Who are you and why are you after me?" she asked while pointing her blade at him. "If I do not have to fight, I would rather not, so I want an explanation."

Why am I here?

He laughed and pointed his claws at you.

You accompanied Sasume Raiki, when he killed over twenty guards at the South Gate, which makes you and Valia an accessory. That is manslaughter, and assault against state officer. So You, my friend, are arrested.

He smirked.

Also, Judge Vaikir, wants me to kill you, and I dunno why. But, Hey! Its my job!!

She would make it to the outskirts of the Village and stop to catch her breathe.

Man..that was a long ways..

She would stand up and pull her hood over her head and walk into the village unnoticed and sees Harious and Icisia but quietly walks over to a Merchant and look at the goods he is selling while listening to Harious and Icisia talking.

Hmmm....

Her eyes would turn a dark red as she restrains herself from turning around and attacking.

She smiles a little as her eyes shift to a bright red. "Vaikir wants us dead? Hmm.. So far I've heard that Vayne wants the Valios brought in alive. That's just a rumor though," she says as she looks towards the man.

"As for Sasume, he was being attacked. Killing them may have been wrong, but it was an act of self defense."

She looks towards the horizon for a second and then back at her opponent. "I can also sense you are too a Valios. We are supposed to be a more peaceful people, yet you hunt your own. Why do you do this?"

That my friend, is of none of your concern.

He smirked and dashed at Icisia.

She instantly brings up her blade as the claws clash with the blade. "Since I am a Valios, and you are too.. this is my concern. Don't you care about our country?!" She slashes her sword down, throwing him back as she jumps back and points her blade at him once more.

Hmph!

He ran toward Icisia and slashed her a couple times.

Like I said, None Of Your concern!!

She ducked as he went to slash at her she slashes at his legs swiftly while yelling back at him,"It is too my concern! You are a Valios attacking a Valios and for the Empire! They're the ones who destroyed everything our country held precious! We're trying to restore that!"

He stopped attacking and stared at Icisia.

....

Noticing that he subsided his attacks at the moment, she stands up straight and tall and looks around then back at him. Before looking at him she notices that some of the Garif are watching them intently. "Hmmm? It seems my friends here do not like this battle as much as I don't.."

He looked down.

You are right..They did destroy everything..

She looks at him and notices him looking towards the ground. "Yes, and my sister and I are trying to restore what was lost."
