The silver girl dont waste any moment and shake the girl hand.

Its a pleasure to meet you Cassie, can i ask you what could you do here? I can see than a lot of warriors use this place to meet and fight others. Also, if is fine with you, i want to train with you for a moment. Susan said to Cassie as she turn from time to time to see the princess battle

Re: Susan Summer (plmnko)

"Well like I said Susan, I don't know right off what I'd choose with a boon such as you've got," Andrea said seriously, looking like she truly didn't have a clue as to what Susan could choose, leaving Susan to choose her own boon.

...

Susan would find Cassie's grip to be quite strong when they shook hands, and the fiery haired woman had a large sheathed bastard sword on her back. "Well I already told you, I'm the Master at Arms here for the castle, I train the recruits that are brought here to be soldiers and such. And sure I'll duel you, though don't be surprised when you lose," Cassie said, gesturing to an empty fighting circle and walking towards it as she drew her sword, looking ready whenever Susan was.

Meanwhile, princess Adriel was still swinging away at the high elven girl, who was giving just as good as she got, though soon enough Adriel swung a mean left uppercut and knocked the other girl to the ground, where she lay for a few seconds panting. "Sis are you okay? Sorry I didn't mean to hit you so hard," Adriel said after a couple of seconds, kneeling down to help the other girl up where she gave her a little apologetic hug, identifying the high elven girl as another princess that didn't seem to have been at breakfast.

"Well miss Susan, are you ready? I'll give you the first move," Cassie said from their fighting circle, waiting for her.

Re: Susan Summer (plmnko)

Susan was not expecting less of a nearly impossible match against the woman named Cassie, I know than this duel will be more than hard, but i need it in order to be stronger she smiled as she turn to see the princess's duel, the princess Adriel soon reveal the high elf identity, soon all made sense and Susan decide to introduce herself later after Cassie would had beaten her.

The silver dressed girl look everywhere to find a free suited sword and then get inside the circle, her blue eyes aimed to find a place where attack without hurt her foe and then attack, very sure than this fight woul not be so hard than the one against the tentacle queen, so she could be able to learn from it.

Re: Susan Summer (plmnko)

Susan - 5 vs 2 Cassie, hit

Cassie - 19 vs 12 Susan, hit

Susan - 17 vs 9 Cassie, hit

Cassie - 12 vs 6 Susan, hit


"Very well then miss Susan, whenever you are ready then. First to five touches I think for victory. Is this suitable?" Cassie said, readying herself to fight and taking a fighting stance with her wooden sword, her flaming hair beginning to burn a little brighter as if somebody had stoked her inner flames to make it do so.

When she was ready to fight and all, Susan took up her stance and wooden sword and moved in to attack, aiming at Cassie's legs as they were the only open area to attack, Cassie was ready though and they exchanged a few swings of their wooden blades until Susan managed to get in a good hit on Cassie's left leg. Cassie looked quite impressed with Susan's abilities and nodded her head, then she came in at Susan, swinging her sword quickly and easily able to get past Susan's defenses to tap her on the shoulder.

"One and one then. Come now, let's keep going, I wish to see just how good you are my dear," Cassie said, a little smile on her face as they went.

Susan and Cassie traded blows again until finally Susan managed to get another hit on Cassie, but then Cassie spun around and slammed her wooden sword into Susan's back, knocking her away as she then spun back around to face Susan, keeping their score tied at 2 to 2. Andrea was quietly watching them both fight closely, her eyes on Susan with a hopeful look in her eyes.

Re: Susan Summer (plmnko)

Sound fine for me Susan answer smiling to Cassie as she prepare herself. The duel started with the silver haired human making quick attacks to her foe, finally hitting her target but receiving an attack at her back. For what Susan notice, this girl is going easier on her, but at least her foe looks impressed a little, of course than the human cant demand to Cassie to get serious, as she was doing this to find ways to improve herself and Cassie must know what she is doing, as she is the person on charge of this place.

That is why i decide to duel with you, to get stronger one must first know what must be improved. Add before continue, hitting again, but soon damaged again by Cassie. Susan could notice than even when they were 2-2, Cassie have the advantage by her great experience, just then Susan notice Andrea's sight at her, what made her blush by dont be used than someone could see her like that in a fight, Susan tried to dont dissapoint the girl and tried to get recovered before continue.

For what it looks Cassie is aiming for her back, but that could change in any moment, so Susan continue hitting and moving to dont let her back open, as she tried to parry her foe.

Re: Susan Summer (plmnko)

Susan - 8 vs 2 Cassie, hit

Cassie - 13 vs 12 Susan, hit

Susan - 4 vs 8 Cassie, miss

Cassie - 10 vs 4 Susan, hit


Susan was able to prepare herself and move in against the flaming haired woman, swinging her wooden sword around and catching Cassie in the arm, but Cassie took the hit in stride and then spun around, catching Susan in the arm as well in retaliation.

The fight continued on, with the two exchanging blows with one another for nearly another minute before Susan made a lunge at Cassie in an attempt to land another blow, but Cassie was ready for her and swept her past without taking a hit. Then Cassie tapped Susan on the butt with her wooden blade a little sharply, enough to sting and let Susan know that she'd been hit, but nothing that would hurt too much.

"Alright miss Susan, four to three is the score now. If I land another blow I win," Cassie said, suddenly adopting a quite serious look on her face.

 

[plmnko]

Re: Susan Summer (plmnko)

The fight continue, as the silver swordswoman expect to dont lose so easily against this strong foe, she tried to chenge her tactic to dont be so easy for Cassie, hitting the blaze woman but never expecting than she could counter so easily, as if she havent received a hit. With another hit against her Susan continue trying her best to hit again, but this time she was placed off guard and get hit again.

Bitting softly her inner lip, she tried to focus, it looks like she will lose this one if she dont do it right and without give a chance to her foe of win, this looks impossible now than Cassie looks to be ready to do this seriously, just a moment ago that sudden tap at her butt make her feel ashamed, it was not the time to think on this, her muscles get prepared and she decide to use all in the next move even if she get tired or slighty damaged at her old wounds, she just dont want to let Andrea see her lost so easily.

With the wodden sword ready she wated the right moment and then hit where she spect Cassie is off guard, then she will try to parry the next attack and attack, maybe this could not work, but Susan cant think in another move.

Re: Susan Summer (plmnko)

Susan - 11 vs 8 Cassie, hit

Cassie - 8 vs 4 Susan, hit and battle over with Susan's loss


As the fight dragged on, Susan and Cassie exchanged blows some more until Cassie backed off and all but allowed Susan to land a blow, at least that's what it looked like anyway. Andrea, Susan would see looked quite hopeful for her to win the fight, but no sooner did Susan steal a glance over at Andrea than Cassie swung at her again, and though Susan was able to barely dodge the swing, she wasn't able to dodge the next one as it slammed into her butt, hitting her hard enough to leave a red mark as a sort of payment for glancing over at Andrea instead of keeping her eye on the fight.

"Looks like I win miss Susan, but you did very well for someone with so little training. The more you practice though, the better you'll get in the long run. I have more work to do now though, as the rest of my students are finished with their matches as well, so I must continue with their training," Cassie said to Susan after their match was over, heading over to the rest of the students who were watching.

"I'm sorry you didn't win Susan. I was really hoping you would," Andrea said to Susan as she came over to her, looking a little saddened at Susan's loss, though not too sad about it. Susan would see that the two princesses were watching her fight and were standing next to each other still in the ring they were in, leaning against the ropes that showed the edges of their ring, both of them were chatting with each other Susan would see, so she could go over and speak with them if she wished, or head on out for now, and of course there was still the boons she was going to receive later on from Elise, and she still had to think of what to ask for then.

 

[plmnko]

Re: Susan Summer (plmnko)

The end of the duel was coming and both girls parry each other, Susan dont expected to be still able to win this, not doubt than Cassie was playing with her, that is why when she manage to land her 4th hit she was not able to hold herself and turned to Andrea, both looks to start to see the silvergirl victory as something real, but the succubus sight was so much for Susan who wished than the girl eyes werent filled with so much expectation, Cassie dont give her time to focus and even when Susan stop the next blow, she was unable to defend herself of the next one, giving a surprised small groan by her now little red mark at her butt.

She dont made any show for all, yet still she fell so ashamed by had lost as all see her. Thanks for the duel Cassie, it certainly help me a lot in my training, after practice for a while i will be honored if we could have another duel The human said with a smile, Susan was close to ask her to take her as student, but she dont have time for that, her old friends could need her help, so she suppose than take missions and fight monsters will be enough trining, so she give another shake to Cassie before move to talk with Andrea.

After heard the girl words, Susan hug her before answer with a smile. Its ok, of course than i also was trying to win, but i earned a lot with this battle to get stronger. Thanks for trust at me Andrea, the next time i will win for sure. Of course than her words reflect what she think, yet she is not completely sure to win the next one, but certainly will go serious in order to make Andrea happy.

She then notice the two pricess, she walk to them, hoping to know more about them and thanks them for all. She bow to both and turn to the princess Adriel. Greetings, Princess Adriel. I hope to dont be interrupting something, but i want to thanks both in person for what both had do for us in the last days.

Re: Susan Summer (plmnko)

(Almost forgot this. Susan gains +1 FP from the duel, her ability to take more hits getting better after all of the lumps Cassie gave her.)


Cassie smiled and shook Susan's hand when Susan offered it. "Of course miss Susan, I would be just as honored to have another duel with you again when you get stronger. Though... I didn't want to tell you this, I feel I must. I admit that I was holding back some. I hope that doesn't make you feel worse miss Susan, but I felt that you should know because you looked as if you were giving it your all and I respect that greatly," Cassie replied, looking a little sad that she had to admit all of that to Susan, but obviously feeling that it was better to be truthful about it.

Andrea returned Susan's hug with a smile and listened to her speak while merely holding her close for a moment, then suddenly she pulled Susan's face down in buried it in between her large soft pillowy breasts, still smiling. "I know you'll win next time Susan, at least... you better. Or I'll be really disappointed and I won't give you a reward for losing either," Andrea said, giving Susan a slightly naughty wink afterwards as she released Susan from her hug.

When Susan was released from Andrea's soft loving embrace and walked over to where the two princesses were, they both turned to look over at her. Adriel smiled as Susan came up and greeted them both with a bow. "Oh don't worry about it Susan, really it's fine. I'd like you to meet my sister Idryll, she's the daughter of papa and momma Alyene, who isn't here right now because she's off in Archanea at the moment far to the northwest, and she wasn't here at breakfast this morning because she slept really late after getting drunk last night with me. Sis here is a real light weight when it comes to drinking," Adriel said to Susan, teasing her sister a little bit in the process, to which her sister Idryll puffed a cheek out, looking a little upset with Adriel's words.

"Well I'm so sorry that I'm not able to drink as heavily as you are Adriel, and I'm so sorry that I'm not as strong as you are," Idryll said, looking a little cross with her sister, though not truly angry. It actually looked more like a sisterly argument to her than anything really that was meant more to tease than anything, as Adriel then very lightly punched Idryll's arm and then hugged her, apologizing in the process.

 

[plmnko]

Re: Susan Summer (plmnko)

Dont worry Miss Cassie, in middle of the fight i notice it, just promise me than you will show me your real strenght in our next duel, i will be honored to see it. Susan answer with a soft smile, wondering to herself about what could be the real power of this woman, certainly both could enjoy the next duel even if she lost again.


---

Andrea take Susan of guard, the silver girl has never has saw her in a lover role, more likely looking the young succubus as a daughter or a young sister. Susan turn to Andrea as this press her against the succubus ample breasts Eh? ... reward...what do you mean? A...andrea The swordswoman get stunned by the sudden shock, she looks to act normal as her inside fight to understand it, finally Susan smiled and act more calmed thinking than the succubus are more sex opened and this could be just a normal joke. Doubt than someone could lost with that reward She smile and return the wink before her blue eyes turn toward the two princess.

---
The two princess looks to have a good frienship, something lovely for Susan. Its a pleasure to meet you princess Idryll, sorry to say this but both of you had a great fight some moments ago and must admit than i enjoy that duel. Can i ask a little about how is Archanea?

 

[Mind Flayer]

Re: Susan Summer (plmnko)

When she heard Susan's reply to her slightly naughty display and hug, Andrea smiled happily at the young silver haired girl. "Good girl, I'm glad that's cleared up now," Andrea said, still smiling as they walked over to the two princesses where they'd been boxing.

...

"Pleasure to meet you as well miss Susan, my sisters told me all about what happened. Gods I'm so glad you were there to help big sis Allie out, I was really scared we might not see her again, despite what papa kept telling us all about her being okay and all. And thanks for the compliment sweetie, sis here really packs a wallop when it comes to physical might, but give her a puzzle or something that requires her to use that lump of meat she calls a brain and she's completely stumped," Idryll replied, smiling down to Susan from their ring, which was raised off the floor a bit.

"Hey now I'm not that stupid you. I may not be as smart as you are sis, but I do know some things, like that you can't hold your liquor as well as I can," Adriel said, teasing her sister a bit more about not being able to keep up with her with drinking.

Idryll shrugged her shoulders, then turned back to Susan. "But about Archanea... well it's... a really nice place all in all. Much like Crimea here, but the climate's a little different, as we're closer to the world's equator here than Archanea is. But let's see, my mother is there in Archanea now to talk with the king there about sending some reinforcements to help deal with this orc attack we've been under for a while now as per the alliance we have with them, while momma Hitomi is in the netherworld right now herself, doing the same with the overlord there... who funnily enough used to be the king of Archanea actually. Kind of convenient how that worked out actually isn't it," Idryll explained about where her mother was and about Archanea, which seemed like a pretty nice place from what princess Idryll was saying.

"Really Susan, just imagine Archanea as Crimea, though with a man in charge instead of a calmer more sensible woman," Adriel said, trying to explain it in short to Susan.

 

[plmnko]

Re: Susan Summer (plmnko)

Smiling and with her mind made a mess by the sudden words from Andrea, Susan walk toward the two princess, expecting to have more time later to understand all the young succubus's words meaning, maybe she need to read more about succubus family relashionships.

---

Oh...thanks, but even when i tried to help all what i could, certainly Allie could had beaten all the slavers alone

the two princess talk and the silver girl remember some of this country with her last talk with the queens, with her mind at the fight and princess jokes certainly affect her to remember it.

I see, i hope than all these alliances can be made. Never expected than the orc problem could be so huge to ask help to others countries. Susan start to think than maybe she should give some help, but having someone like Elise and her family make this look not so urgent at the moment, nothing than check the guild jobs cant resolve.

Sorry to ask this, but can i help in anything at this war against the orcs? I will train hard if needed, the swordswoman said slighty ashamed of how she has lost the last duel.

Just then Susan remember the event than Elisa has made to her, it must be close to start and Susan just suppose than she could maybe be ready.

 

[Mind Flayer]

Re: Susan Summer (plmnko)

"Well we've already got an alliance with them as well as the Netherworld, and it isn't so much that we have to ask them both for help, it's just that papa is old friends with the overlord of the Netherworld, and the king of Archanea is descended from the overlord of the Netherworld in any case, so if one gets into a fight of any kind, the other joins regardless almost always," Adriel said, explaining a little more and letting Susan know that it wasn't so much that they needed the help, but it was more like the help couldn't hurt.

"And yes Susan, if you wish to help, then of course you can. You'd have to talk to papa or one of the generals first though to see what they would need of you," Idryll said, smiling at Susan as she and Adriel climbed down out of the ring they were sparring in. "And don't worry about losing to Cassie, and I can tell that you're feeling a bit ashamed because I can see it written all over your face. Cassie's hard for even sis here to beat at the best of times, and she's really good with spears like her momma, as well as good with swords like papa," Idryll added, as if sensing Susan's distress in losing to Cassie and trying to comfort her somewhat.

"Yeah, I'm a cavalier myself, so I switch between a spear and sword while holding my shield in my left hand while on horseback. I've ridden down countless numbers of orcs before, leading charges against entire companies of the damn things and riding them down like they're nothing. They used to not be so bad, but for some reason in the last few years they've suddenly gotten a lot of reinforcements to bolster their ranks. I mean it isn't anything we can't handle, but it gets a little annoying because they can breed faster than we all can for the most part," Adriel said after Idryll was done talking and comforting Susan about her loss to Cassie, looking rather smug that she was as strong as she seemed to be.

With that, the two princesses bid farewell to Susan, saying that they were supposed to go and get ready to be at the ceremony for Susan, and that they would see her there. Andrea meanwhile seemed to be waiting for Susan to decide on what to do, as it was nearing time to go back to the great hall for the little ceremony for her and all, but she still had a good hour give or take, maybe a little less. "Well Susan. Where to now?" Andrea said, ready to go on to wherever when Susan was.

 

[plmnko]

Re: Susan Summer (plmnko)

Oh, so that is the reason, that alliance sound great, but it make me wonder if the orcs have allies of others lands or if these tribes have more reasons than get more lands to be attacking with more strengh these lands. Susan said, with questions of why these creatures could be attacking these lands when the three kingdowns always join theirs forces against any opponent, even when these reproduce alone, it sound as just a suicide for the orcs. Then turning to the High elf princess, she nod. Thanks I will ask to Elise after the event if I can help in something. Of course than after heard than the princess notice her shame, Susan can stop to blush, Ehh? My face? She said covering her face with her hands for a moment, surprised than someone had notice her feelings of had failed to Andrea and also making all looks her novice skills at using an sword at the duel. Slowly she calmed as the two princess talked about Cassie and about how even the strong Adriel have problems to beat her… it just make her think than all these girls are in a very high different league. She just wonder if she could reach someday the streng of them

The time to leave come for both princes and Susan get the courage to invite them. I know than this could sound weird, but I accept to invite a drink to a friend if I manage to succed at my first mission, both can come too after the event I will invite the first round. Susan smiled to them as she wake, mabe worried if she could pay all without damage her economy.

After both princess leave, she return her sight to Andrea who was close them all the time. The Silver girl smiled and hug her softly. Why don’t you take me to your favorite place? I want to know more of you. Answer Susan without any attempt or naughty through

 

[Mind Flayer]

Re: Susan Summer (plmnko)

"Sure thing Susan, I'd love to have a drink with you sometime. I find a good drink before a mission always helps to calm the nerves and keeps you calm and level headed in combat," Adriel said, sounding happy about the prospect of having a drink later on.

"Yeah, we can have some of the others join us as well, they never pass up an opportunity to have a good drink when one's offered... well rather they rarely do so anyway," Idryll said, sounding a bit enthusiastic. "I hope that your next job turns out alright and a bit less demanding as this previous one turned out to be. Oh and Lara's parents said for you to come on down to their place once you were awake so that they could give you the payment that was promised to you for finding Lara, and the bonus for bringing her back with her purity in one piece as well," Idryll added as an afterthought, which would likely ease any fears about her money situation.

Once they had replied to Susan and moved on to go and prepare, Andrea listened to Susan's words and stopped to think for a few moments, likely trying to decide on what her favorite place was around Nevassa. "Hmm... well if I had to pick a place to call my favorite. Well, then I'd honestly have to say by you, because you're so nice and kind and fun to be around," Andrea said with a bright happy smile, looking entirely sincere in her answer. "But if you won't accept that, then I'll say the top of the castle... at night, where I can have the wind in my hair and look up at the moon, so that I may thank the goddess Sehanine for sending you to help me," Andrea added after a few moments, still smilnig happily.

 

[plmnko]

Re: Susan Summer (plmnko)

Well, im not a good drinker but is true than a drink could calm you to get better results in a mission. Mithra add as she remember how a drink make her meet some people who aid her to start this mission, however Idrill words make her get focused in something else than she would had done after the breakfast. Im worried for Lara, i dont see her anymore after be infected by the werecats, maybe i should go there now. Said the swordswoman more to had fail in her word of be at her side all the time than for anything else. She then leave both princess leave trying to smile as she wave.

----

The succubus word make Susan blush and get ashamed by so sweet words, even more as these looks to come from the girl's heart Ehh! W...well thanks Andrea, you are so kind but is early mid day so i promise you than we will try to go there at the night. Oh... true, i must look how is Lara, you can come with me if you are allowed to leave the castle.

After that Susan ask to Cassie a borrowed weapon as Susan dont know where is her equipment and she need something to defend both if needed at the street, also she wills ay to the fire girl where they will go before go out. Unfortunately they dont have the time to change their clothes and even when Susan was very focused at the start to see than Lara was fine with her own eyes, she slowly notice than it was her first time to be dressing like this at the streets, she tried her best to stay in the high class zone to dont be so ashamed by her luxury clothes.

 

[Mind Flayer]

Re: Susan Summer (plmnko)

"Oh don't worry about getting other weapons right now Susan, your things are all back in your room, they were just in the chest at the foot of your bed is why you didn't find them, and I was figuring that you were wanting to go see if Lara was alright, for one to collect your reward for her safe return, and also to check up on her, because that's just how kind and nice you are," Andrea said in regards to Susan's things and about Lara. "I can fly up there and grab your sword and belt for you if you'd like, that way I can meet you down at the castle gates and we can be off quicker," Andrea added, sounding as if she didn't mind doing this in the least.

Before Susan could answer her though, Andrea leaned down, as she was taller, where she kissed Susan on the cheek and told her to head on down to the castle gates and she'd meet her there, leaving Susan there as she took wing and flew off back through the castle. True to her word, Andrea met Susan down at the castle gates... in fact she beat her there and was already waiting for her, holding her sword belt, and her sword in its sheathe which didn't look the same as the old worn leather sheathe she'd had it in before. Her sheathe looked brand new, as if someone had changed it for her, as the new one was fixed up with Crimea's royal colors and was made so that when she drew it from the sheathe the blade would ring slightly to make it more flashy like.

"Here you go Susan, now let's head on so we can hurry back and get your two gifts okay," Andrea said, handing Susan her things and helping her get her sword belt on, where they then set off, with Andrea gently pulling and tugging on Susan's arm towards where she remembered Lara's home being.

Along the way, nobody really bothered either of them, though some did stare a little bit at her in her beautiful thread of silver dress, a couple of the people even going so far as to nod their heads to her as she passed them. If asked why they did such a thing, Andrea would reply to Susan to look at the brooch on her dress, which was a silver brooch adorned with the Crimean royal colors, such as the one that one of the princesses wore at breakfast earlier.

It didn't take them very long to reach Lara's home, where she was greeted at the door by one of their handmaids, who bowed her head deeply and showed the two of them inside in the foyer, telling them to please wait while she went and got the lord and lady of the manor as she rushed off to do so.

 

[plmnko]

Re: Susan Summer (plmnko)

Susan turn to Andrea to heard about where were her things, she was close to rush to her room, but then the succubus started to prepare herself to fly toward the room Thanks Andrea but y... the Silver girl stop to say than she dont need to go there, but the girl kiss stop her at the instant. Susan remain stuned for a moment touching her cheek and looking to Andrea fly before she start to move toward the exit, yet not matter how fast she go, the succubus was there waiting for her. Wow you are pretty fast Andrea sorry to make you wait. Susan then tried to place her best as fast as she could but having that new sword shater was making her woder if Elisa has given her another gift whitout she know it.

She then was nearly literaly pulled by the cute Andrea all the way toward Lara's mansion, the swordsgirl was ready to defend both of them if needed, but the people was acting weird, looking to her and even nearly making bows. Its so weird, all the people looks to be so kind today... she mutters worried as she tried to smile and nod softly to some of them, expecting than this was just a natural way or they loved theirs dresses. Soon Andrea say her why and this make Susan frown blushing, Elise has been so kind to her, filling her with gifts and the silver girl feels like she havent do anything for deserve them, maybe just Elise is very kind and she do this with anyone who is a friend of her family. Susan deep sigh, as she remember how Elise has saved her of turn into a feral were cat, both were trying their best to help the others in need, to protect these lands and their loved ones, the silver girl just wish to be able to return all these favors to Elise who she looks as a friend, as also all the royal family.

Once at Lara huse she nod and say a good morning to the handmaid, following her to the foyer to wait with Andrea, she urn to see the place as she remain close the succubus. Well, looks like we will have some minutes alone to enjoy the view. Susan said smiling to Andrea.

 

[Mind Flayer]

Re: Susan Summer (plmnko)

After waiting for only a minute or so, Susan and Andrea saw the maid coming back through, with Lara and both of her parents in tow. Lara's mother rushed straight over to Susan and wrapped her arms around her in a tight hug, kissing her on the cheek a couple of times. "Oh thank you so much miss Susan, thank you for bringing my baby back to me," Lara's mother said, kissing Susan on the other cheek twice as well.

"Yes young miss, thank you so very much. Now that you've returned, I believe your reward is in order. I'll be right back, and since you returned our baby to us with even her purity intact amazingly enough, which I dreaded she wouldn't have any longer after she was taken, then I'll get the bonus to go with it all," Lara's father said, nodding his head in thanks to Susan.

With that, he left the room and went down a set of steps that were behind the steps leading upstairs. "Hey there Susan, thanks again for helping me and the others that were trapped there. I don't know what I'd have done if you hadn't showed up when you did," Lara said, a thankful smile on her face as she too hugged Susan in thanks.

Not long after that, Lara's father returned, bringing a medium sized chest that when he opened it up had two sacks of money inside. "This is the two thousand gold bounty, and since you brought Lara back to us with no lasting injuries and still pure, we decided to give you a little something extra in thanks. I hope that it's to your liking. An extra three thousand gold and a horse, fully saddled and ready for you to use to travel around to jobs and such, you've earned some friends here in Nevassa thanks to what you did, and as such your services will likely be a bit in demand after this," Lara's father said, bowing his head as he handed Susan the chest full of money, some of it was in platinum she could see, the entire extra three thousand of it was, giving her thirty platinum pieces, and two thousand gold, though they weren't all just one piece of gold, some were worth five, ten, and even twenty pieces each so as to cut down on the weight.

When Susan was ready to leave, Lara's father and mother, as well as Lara herself walked out with her, with Lara's father leading Susan to his stables where he gestured at a pretty solid white warhorse, all saddled and ready to ride. "He's all yours miss Susan, and he's a good warhorse, won't shy away from a charge and he's pretty strong and tough too, can carry both of you ladies from here all the way to Ashfield and back in a day," Lara's father said, patting the horse on the side.
