The farm lands stretched as far as Reva could see when the tree line broke. Large fields of green and gold stood tall, she saw lots of silver lupen working in the fields. Some ran around as beasts and some rode on horses. She looked down at her horse and pulled him off the road. "Lets take a little break." She said hopping off his back.
The sun was high in the sky with small clouds dotting the sight. She opened up the saddle pack and took out some fruit. She took them over to a tree and sat down. She watched Arrow graze around.
After a while she looked around and saw a low hanging branch on the tree. She reached up and could just touch it, a small smile spread on her lips. She jumped and grabbed the branch. She swung her legs up and around the branch, bringing her body up right. She slowly stood on the branch and scanned for the next one to grab. She grabbed another branch and another before she was about ten feet off the ground. She had a nice view of the area. She watched as a group of lupen moved snow, it wasn't magical but it was neat to watch.
As she looked around she noticed smoke in the distance coming from the road. She leaned forward to try and get a better view. She heard a low growl right by her ear "Did you really think I wouldn't find you." Jolon's voice filled her mind. Her body jumped forward without thought. She turned to Jolon as she began to fall, he looked as shocked as she felt. She wanted to scream but nothing came out. Jolon jumped down and caught her in his arms. He pulled her close and landed down on the ground hard on his back. The weight of her body knocked the wind out of him and his arms loosened enough for her to push away and get up. She whistled for Arrow and quickly jumped up to the saddle. "Wait! Reva! Get back here!" He yelled getting up from the ground. She set off fast down the road. She looked back to see he changed into his beast form and was running after her. She tried to pull the sword from its hilt but it was to heavy for her. She didn't know what to do, Arrow was fast but he was catching up faster. She looked forward and saw a large dark wagon coming down the road. She screamed "Help! Please!" The wagon driver pulled it to a stop and stepped down looking their way. He shouted "Stop let me help you!" She directed Arrow around to the back side of the wagon. She hoped from the saddle and peaked from the side. A door opened and a man with golden hair stepped out , he turned to face Jolon who stopped short of the wagon. "What do you think your doing. It is so impolite to scare a young maiden." The golden haired man had soft voice he held a hand to Reva. "I am so sorry for his despicable behavior." She hesitated and he grabbed her hand, fear shot through her. Arrow started braying a third man was holding and pulling his reigns. "What are you doing to my horse?" She tried pulling away, but the strange man tightened his grip. He looked at Jolon "Cedric come to the shop house and you can pick up your belongings, your end of the deal is done." He looked at her "You are going to be quite the special piece to the collection."
"What are you doing!" She pulled her arm as hard as she could. "Jolon please help me!" her eyes grew wide. The blond man began laughing "Cedric you told her your name was Jolon. You'll get in trouble if the real one finds out." He was staring at Cedric. So Reva took her chance she bit the man's hand and pulled away. He yelled and pulled away. She quickly stepped away into the man holding Arrow. He grabbed her shoulder and the horse knocked him back with his head. "Please! Why are you doing this?" She pleaded to the men.
"Why... Because it's profitable. Although he's doing it because I own his sister. But now I own you." He smirked and took a step to her. He reached out his hand, fear in her eyes and then *bang* her ears ringing. She looked in shock at the man hand or at least the nub that was once his hand. Then a hand on her shoulder and arm a soft touch, someone shaking her slightly "Hello, are you okay? What's your name?" Her face turned slowly to a girl slightly shorter than she. Her hat had a blue shield with a paw on it. Sound started to return to her "Wh...what just happened?" Reva finally heard the muffled screams coming from the blond guy. "Are you wounded? Come with me." The small girl started leading her to the side of the road. She looked over to see the blond guy getting treatment and cuffs. Along with Cedric who looks like he tried to run away. There were lots of people around looked like guards.
"HI, excuse me. Hello, there she is what's your name."
"Um... My name is Reva. How uh. How are you speaking English?"
"Oh ha no, we just have translators on. Levi was said to have humans so. How did he get you? You have no physical damage to you and it looks like you've been eating?" She looked at Reva
"I don't know him, I met Jolon and I guess he was going to give me to him from the start." The girl looked confused
"Um, I guess his name is actually Cedric and the blond guy has his sister. So..." Reva got up awkwardly and looked around.
" Ah so he's the one we came for then. The lord got permission to come and track down the man who was slandering his name."
She spotted a large figure, but could only notice the large black wings.
"Lord?"
