 The range of mountains and land to the south of the Norcrest region, where snow fades to green and the other kingdoms start to take their claims. |

Zophar presses his horse onward, frowning at the now dried blood on his clothes from Ib. He snorts and shakes his head, slowing his steed as he looked around, halfway down one of the hills.

"He should be near the bottom, at the base of that tree over there." Kali murmurs, gaze sharp as she looks around "No negotiating until he proves he has the money."

"He should be near the bottom, at the base of that tree over there." Kali murmurs, gaze sharp as she looks around "No negotiating until he proves he has the money."
He nods, moving towards the tree, pulling his horse to a stop when a cloaked man steps out.
"I'm surprised you actually still considered my offer," he murmurs, slipping his hood off as he looks at the two bandits. His eyes fall to Ib, and his lips quirk a bit. "So you found her."

"I'm surprised you actually still considered my offer. So you found her."
Pulling her horse to a stop, Kali eyes the man carefully before speaking "Of course we would, your price is higher than that of our other buyer." she murmurs, ignoring his second comment

"Of course we would, your price is higher than that of our other buyer."
"I'm glad to know I beat another price," Grelm smiles at her.
Zophar dismounts, though he remains on edge. "Yes, but are you true to your word?"
The man chuckles lowly, pulling a rather hefty bag from his belt and tosses it over. "Take a look. I do not toy when it comes to my agreements."
Zophar catches it, a hand resting on Ib's knee to insure she doesn't fall off the horse as he peeks inside the bag. An eyebrow raised at the gold, and he holds it out for his sister to check as well.

"Yes, but are you true to your word?"
"Take a look. I do not toy when it comes to my agreements."
Reaching out, Kali takes the bag from Zophar, looking inside of it before her gaze returns to the man, face relaxed as she watches him "It seems to all be here. But why do you want the girl. pray tell?"

"It seems to all be here. But why do you want the girl. pray tell?"
"Leverage," he replies easily. "She's connected to someone in which I would like to settle a score with, someone who is bound to follow her trail here. And once my task is complete, I'll even sweeten our bargain, allowing you to take her and do as you please with her."

"That's a generous offer." Kaliune murmurs, gaze raking over the man before she slowly smirks, gesturing for Zophar to get back on his horse "And we are interested, of course. But you'll understand when was say we'll keep her until your enemy comes."

"You have the gold," Grelm presses, smirk fading into an expression of seriousness as Zophar mounts again, arms resting at Ib's sides as he held the reins. "And gaining her comes after. The amount I gave you should be more than enough to entertain you until then."
"We're careful people," Zophar adds. "How do we know you won't turn your back on us? killing us, taking your gold back and the girl?"
"Oh please," Grelm scoffs, "Don't be absurd."
Zophar's brow twitches as he feels Iberia's muscles ripple underneath her cloak.

"We're careful people. How do we know you won't turn your back on us? Killing us, taking your gold back and the girl?"
"Oh please. Don't be absurd."
"Don't be mistaken." Kali murmurs, face stony as she looks at the man, gaze chilled "You've proven that you have the money, and we thank you for it. But like my brother said, we don't know what you may or may not do once you get the package. And, to be fair." smirking, she flashes her teeth, eyes flashing "We do not have to gain something we already have."

"You filthy mongrels," he growls, eyes sharpening as he reaches for the blade at his waist, though he stops short as Ib's eyes open, locking on his. He frowns deeply as she only stares a moment, but it isn't long until she moves.
She pushes herself up using the horse's neck, and she brings her heel up as she rolls over the horse's head. It comes into contact with Zophar's chin as he reaches forward to grab her, and his head snaps back with a sharp snarl as she lands nimbly on her feet, crouched low with her gaze on Grelm, fighting to hide the spark of pain that radiates from her wound.
And through the trees and over an overhang, Iniago leaps down with a sharp bark, and Grelm's eyes snap towards him, though he grins a little as he sees Caspian, mistaking him for Jak.

"You filthy mongrels,"
"I'd watch your language if I were you." Kali murmurs, eyes narrowing as she pulls her own knife out before stiffening when Iniago appears. Gritting her teeth when Iberia springs to her feet, she starts to leap off her horse to grab her, screaming when a arrow sinks into her shoulder, falling backwards to the ground with a thud
"The next one goes through your head." Caspian hisses lowly, hood pulled up as he looks around at the trio, irises flashing blue until they land on Grelm "You aren't going to buy her, as she isn't for sale."

"I'd watch your language if I were you."
"The next one goes through your head."
"Kali!" The bandit slides off his horse and hurries to her side, pulling his knife free from the sheath and stand between her and Caspian as he growls. "You'll b=pay for that."
"You aren't going to buy her, as she isn't for sale."
Grelm's smirk fades at the flash of blue, and then his gaze sharpens, sword poised. "You aren't him. Where is the prince?"
Iberia stands, her hands still bound as she hisses, teeth bared. "You filthy gelmir (traitor). It was you, not the rogue that sent them to the tribe."
"Where is the prince?" he snaps again.

"You filthy gelmir (traitor). It was you, not the rogue that sent them to the tribe."
"Where is the prince?"
"He left ages ago, I wouldn't be surprised if he's far away." Caspian murmurs, arrow knocked in his bow and trained on Zophar "I suggest you leave. Get her treated." he warns, eyes narrowed
"Kali! You'll pay for that."
Breaths shallowing, Kali looks at Caspian then Grelm, face twisted in pain "Zo.. Kill him.. Kill them all.."
