Chapter Sixteen - Part 3
Sylvia found herself annoyed. Everything had been going rather well. After a couple of days of travel, the viscount's castle had been reached. She and her companions had been allowed into the rooms of the once ruling nobles with permission to claim what they desired. The men had found some suits of worth, along with cuff links and a few other glittering accessories. Sylvia had come out like a bandit. The viscountess had given the lady all of her personal belongings. Sylvia had her maid choose a couple of dresses and a few items of jewelry from the castle's wealth, but the noble lady had a number of pieces all her own. The viscountess's place was beside her husband in death. She asked for her personal wealth to buy her children from slavery. What was left over she gave to Sylvia instead of allowing it to be absorbed by the estate. The yellow haired lady had just spent the last hour or so wearing the riches before the men in her group. She was now finally in her room able to take off the adornment, but found herself unable to do it to the lady in the mirror. The clattering of stones in her hair to weigh down the feather hair, the dangling of gold and jewels from her ears, the tinkling of necklaces and other expensive items made her even more lovely. It just did not make her feel happy.
The reddish-orange haired maid was right there and noticed the hesitation. "Is there a problem, my lady?"
Our three learns some more about their new world.

Chapter Sixteen - Part 2
A minstrel showed up wanting to meet the group. The elder human was truthfully pleased with the style Larruth showed in securing the viscount, and wanted the prince's story. With all the facts of the tale related, the minstrel started to work on a composition. Oggelly did not try to bother the man, but served him a mug of beer and worked to keep it full as he watched someone more experienced at his profession.
To keep from trying to influence the fellow minstrel, Oggelly went to bother his sister. She had dug out one of her magic texts and was refreshing herself about the dome she had cast earlier. Sylvia found herself worried earlier about the men being shot from the side by bowmen, and wanted an open cylinder instead of a dome. Oggelly was not better than Feladin at discussing magic, but had tried enough times that he could often sound like he knew what was being discussed.
Queen Lefremillion takes a stand in the background plot of our story.

Chapter Sixteen - Part 1
The group continued their westward travel. The land stayed thick with trees, although expansive meadows became more common. The ground became almost all dirt under the grass with rocks becoming scarce. The travelers became concerned about rain because the downpours would make travel for their vehicle extremely difficult.
Sylvia was sitting with Mially in the front of wagon discussing certain features of clothes. It was not really a topic the yellow haired lady preferred, but she was not afraid of saying what she liked or did not like. She however did smile as her brother rode up.
Our group enters a serious military operation.

Chapter Fifteen - Part 2
To the most noble Baron Quanada and Baroness Challoisey of Aidelphia: Greetings from your son, Larruthornic
I have sat down to write this letter to inform you of my wonderful health and situation. I have continued to journey with the party that I was with when leaving Aidelphia. I have found them to be excellent companions. In deciding to leave, I came before you with words stating that my chance to improve my status would come sooner with more force. I still believe those words to be true.
Keir Feladin is a marvelous companion. Humans have such short life spans, and Keir Feladin shows no signs of age, but he moves and acts as one who has grown tall with the centuries. Both Oggelly and the Lady Sylvia respect his words. The Lady Sylvia will often sit and talk with the priest. Their debates are fun to listen to because of the friendship that is shown and the laughter that often erupts.
A slightly long section of three parts that I felt needed to stay together as it all covers a single issue.

Chapter Fifteen - Part 1
Knight Dengistriv made certain that the group did not leave Castle Hassalatoid quietly. He loaded the wagon down with supplies, then had a company of soldiers escort the group for a day. Larruth was quick to notice that that were many more present than was common for a normal military presence. He appreciated the sign of support, but felt that the number surrounding him and his friends was something more than a gracious blessing for the start of the journey. The reason was revealed when the soldiers made camp. They started cooking a magnificent supper as some brought out instruments and provided entertainment. Knight Dengistriv arrived as the food was being served to let the group know that he was very pleased with their strategic advice and felt that their games had given him some tricks to enable the military to better prepare themselves for human incursions. He thus felt the festivities were an earned reward.
Larruth noticed that his friends smiled as they enjoyed the evening. They would whisper comments to each other and laugh as if sharing a common joke. The prince did ask Sylvia what was so amusing, and she mentioned that this is what they expected when they once traveled to a place called Hawaii. She however did not explain what it was about her memories of that place she found funny.
Our group finally leaves the elven forest, and Feladin is given a chance to shine.

Chapter Fourteen - Part 2
As Sylvia entered her suite, Mially signaled that she had a visitor in the front room. The yellow haired lady saw it to be her brother, so was not alarmed. She only asked the maid concerning the level of beer in the pitcher set near Oggelly. Mially promised to refill it.
Sylvia spoke as she entered the front room. "What brings you here, Oggelly?"
"Just checking on you, Sylvia. I saw you and Larruth looking so charming as you stood together on the outer wall."
Personalities are developed in this installment along with some slight plot advancement.

Chapter Fourteen - Part 1
It was only a couple more days of travel before the group came to Castle Hassalatoid. They were welcomed by the castle officials who had heard stories of the four. When presented with the letter of introduction from the viscount, the group was assigned a wonderful set of suites across the hall from each other. The suites were designed to be used by a high ranking dignitary, his wife, and assorted servants. The men settled into their apartment with Larruth gaining the noble's room, Feladin the wife's, and Oggelly crashing in whichever one of the servant's quarters he stumbled into. Sylvia and Mially found the lady's room in their suite more than comfortable.
The castle staff treated the guests with maximum respect. The group responded by acting with grace. There was a blue-green headed knight of the realm, named Dengistriv, who was left in charge of the castle, but he allowed Sylvia to control the conversation at the meals. The minor noble gained enough respect for the company that he allowed Larruth to sit at the head of the table and would come to one of the party to discuss certain matters.
Another holiday, and again our group uses it to discover more about their new world.

Chapter 13 - Part 3
Idurraine was at work with a helper sawing a log into boards. The tall elf with a physique firm from centuries of hard work looked towards his house. He was not certain what caught his eye, but he was certain who was now moving to his door. Idurraine felt a need to yell to the royal mage.
"Welcome, Aynaglitian!" The mage turned to the woodcutter, so Idurraine lowered his voice. "My wife was up late last night with a delivery. Our race does not normally have the troubles of the humans, but last night was an exception. She spent time with the children this morning, but I suspect has gone back to bed."
The plot is advanced as minor matters get handled. By the way, thanks to Thema for helping with enabling me to get this new site learned (of course, it was either that or get bothered by my PMs every 5 days - HA! - thanks Olly).

Chapter Thirteen - Part 2
The conversation came back to Sylvia the next morning. Mially woke her as she came back from taking her bath. The maid and Sylvia tended to wake up about the same time with Mially going to bathe while the mage went to perform her exercises. Sylvia instead turned over and went back to sleep. It was unusual, but not without precedent. Still, Mially knew to get Sylvia moving so she could get her bath before the men got moving.
The yellow haired lady left the tent surprised to see the camp still quiet. Larruth was getting regular at waking up with her. He generally waited until he heard her moving about however, so she suspected he was awake just still in his tent. Well, she would skip the exercises this morning and go ahead and take her bath.
Sylvia is put into a situation where she has to prove herself as a lady.

Chapter Thirteen - Part 1
The party continued west. The elven forest seemed to go on forever. The party stopped at towns to trade excess meat for fruits, vegetables, and what silver coins could be bartered from the buyer. Oggelly started disappearing to late night sessions at local establishments where he sought to perform and earn a few more coins. Feladin would sometimes leave with the minstrel, but Sylvia normally was satisfied staying with the camp working alone on her magic or with Larruth on her Elvish and social skills.
She did spend time alone with him being a little intimate. Talking with Larruth was not hard. He liked to speak on certain topics, and as long as those subjects were available he was willing to speak on others. The prince often spoke of his dissatisfaction with other ladies being that they would not consider certain topics worth their time, so he in turn did not consider those ladies worth his time. He was more than willing to talk on any topic Sylvia desired, because he knew she would also speak to him on his topics.
Interesting data is revealed concerning how relationships are evolving.
