The trumpets and flutes were like a pair of deer in mating season. They seemed to clash with one another in such a way that neither seemed to win but they knew that one side would eventually be victorious. He didn't understand what she meant by the royal fae and the pure fae. "What do you mean to take what they lost and to capture more?" Taking her hand as they approached the guards looked at the two of them, they seemed gruff.
"Halt! State your name and business!" The two guards gripped their spears tightly and stepped forward to greet them prepared to kill the two strange newcomers if they must.
"Oh thank you! Gentleman, kind guards!" Darian called out. A mock exasperation mixed into his voice as he approached his arms raised. "My fiancé and I were attacked along the road back to Riversong. They stole everything I owned, luckily they only took the gold and not our lives!" A laugh raised from Darian's lips. He could see the guards look softening.
Stepping forward the lead guard looked both of them over his eyes lingering on the beautiful Ella. "You both look like a right mess, take to the market, if you have money they'll find clothes. The Fenn Inn is up the road to the north from the market. I'm sorry that we must bother you but the forest seems more alive than usual tonight.”
Darian began to walk through the entrance to the small village before one of the spears stopped him in his tracks, it startled him slightly and caused him to step back hoping that the guards were as kind as they seemed. “I’m sorry, where did these bandits attack you?”
Letting a sigh of release past his lips he smiled and pointed down the road. “A quarter of a day’s journey down the road. Just past the edge of the forest.” With that he placed a hand on Ella’s arm directing her ahead of him. The senior guard seemed a little too interested in her. Walking briskly he made sure to put as much distance as he could between them. The market was just closing for the day but they made a quick purchase of some fresh clothes with money Darian kept hidden in his shoe. Then he quickly paid for a room at the inn which they could enjoy some privacy. “Who are the royal fae and why are the separate from the pure fae?”
