    @everyone

    Hey just wanted to let you know that Leytera’s 17…

    Sorry I forgot to make that clear… She’s just small-boned, that’s all. 🙂

     

    Leytera

    Leytera stared at the man as he walked away with the other girl.

    A different girl appeared, smiling brightly with a hint of roughness on the side.

    “Hello honey, don’t mind them, we just had a bit of a fright,” she laughed softly. “So your name is Leytara? That’s such a pretty name! I’m Sahar. You aren’t hurt, are you? The castle hasn’t exactly been friendly so far.”

    The armored man stood up and pulled a candy bar out of his pack. He stepped forward and presented it to her. “I’m Klein,” he said.

    Leytera took the candy, nearly laughing.

    “Thank you, Klein. I really don’t need candy, but if you’re not going to eat it…”

    Sahar laughed.

    “So, what was that about a castle? Isn’t this a cave? And where exactly is it? Are we in Arctashia still, or did the Fringe throw me into a different world?”

    She opened the package and took a bite of the candy bar.

    “Etallokoch!” she cried, then raised an eyebrow when they gave her blank looks. “Is that not what it’s called around here?”

    “Hey, sorry about earlier,” a voice said behind her. She looked past her two companions to see the man who had threatened her. “I was afraid you were an enemy, and so I didn’t really see past that when a teenage girl appeared. Sorry.”

    “That’s okay,” Leytera said. When the man wasn’t trying to kill her, he was actually quite handsome. And the etallokoch bar was really helping her frayed nerves.

    “I’m Niarok,” the man said.

    “Leytera.”

    “And that’s Yila,” the man said, gesturing behind him to where the girl with the knives was rolling up a bedroll.

    “Hmm,” Leytera said. “She seems like she wants to kill me.”

    “She’s like that with any new person she meets.”

    Leytera nodded.

    “So what’s going on?” she asked.

     

    Sorry had to shorten this one as I need to do other things at the moment…
