Falderas, a quaint little town. When you enter, the Guards take your weapons and keep them safe until you are ready to leave. When you are ready, speak to the Guard nearest to the gates and you shall recieve your confenscated items.
The town of pease. There is a North and South to this town. North is for the richer folks, South is for the poorer folk, though they all live together in harmony.
The daughter of the Mayor is Astalia Cordaire, and the son is Miika Cordaire. Astalia can be found in Northern Falderas, though it's pretty difficult to get inside those gates, an invitation from one of the Cordaire's is required. Miika cannot be found in Falderas, he was sent away to Calde'Ara, an allying city.

Making her way through the gates of Falderas, the people stopped and applauded lightly at Astalia's presence. She turned and waved to them, giving them a sweet smile before giving a soft giggle. They immediately stopped clapping, remembering that her only order was not to clap in her presence, she wasn't fond of the fame. She could do without it. Smiling as a Guard escorted her to the North gates of Falderas, she smiled as the gates were open. Once inside and the gates closed behind her, her eyes narrowed and she pulled down the hood of her shaggy robes, pulling the scarf down around her neck. She sheathed her katana and walked towards her home, the Grand Mansion as most called it.
Though she did stop and smile sweetly, engaging in soft conversations with those well known around her. But she quickly remembered why she was upset and turned to face her home, walking through the gardens with a frown on her face before walking up one of the large stair cases that led to the main door. Swinging the door open and slamming it closed, she smiled sweetly to the maid and allowed her to take her robe and scarf before she turned and walked into the living area, stopping in the center of the room infront of her mother and father, a frown on her face. Though manners were her life, so she straightened up, though the frown remained. Suprisingly enough, she didn't raise her voice, even after the recent events she suffered through.
"Mother, Father... I do not wish to marry so young. I know that this will only further disappoint you and lead you to question my future even more so than you already do.. But I finally went into the south side of town to look for a suitable, single husband... And what I found was myself being kidnapped. I do not wish to speak of it further. I am expecting a visitor, though I do not know when. Please do not interfere when he gets here, just remember the manners you trained me to remember, and leave me be to speak with him alone. Forgive me for my rudeness."
Bowing her head, she turned and walked out of the living room, following a marble, spiraling stair case to the top, then making a right down a cooridore, walls lit with elaborate paintings and random displays of art. Stopping as she reached a large door at the end of the cooridore, she opened it and closed the door behind her. Flopping onto a large, circular shaped bed, she grabbed a picture of her brother and hugged it to her chest.
"Miika, if you were here things would be different.. If you were here to protect.. me."

Fenix stood at the front gates with a young girl who appeared to be about 3 years old. He stood in front of the guard refusing to hand over his weapons, he would never do such a thing.
"Look....you could try to take my weapons but two are kinda strapped to my wrists and they're really a pain to take off...Im just here to see if the lady here can watch my kid while Im off on a job..."
Fenix looked at the man sternly he would of already been inside if he meant to do harm to her. His daughter simply hid behind her Papa though because she was often shy in public, especially around people she didn't know.

Walking around North Bowerstone after getting tired of sitting in her room, and her mother and father trying to convince her that being kidnapped was only a one time thing, she decided to wander down into South Bowerstone after hearing a few Guards chatting about a man near the gate who refused to hand over his weapons. Wandering around the familiar streets, she stopped behind the Guards before smiling at Fenix. She hadn't yet seen his daughter, since she was hiding behind him. Looking to the Guards she gave a sweet look and waved her hand, dismissing them.
"Do not bother this man. I permit him to carry his weapons through our town, now go find someone else to bother."
Smiling as they obediently walked away, she turned back to Fenix.
"Jade, it is nice to see you. Now, how I can properly repay you for saving me? Whether you meant to or not, I still need to repay you."

"I need you to watch my daughter for a while...I have to go and serve as a shadow for my lord."
He motioned to the little girl with streaks of crimson red in her almost white hair. Mariemaia was his daughter, the one person who he would slaughter thousands for.
"Northlands isnt too safe for her..."

Looking down and bending down, she smiled softly at the small girl before she stood back up and looked brightly to Fenix.
"I would be honored to babysit your child."

"Thank you...now Mariemaia be a good girl okay."
He knelt down and looked at his daughter with a soft gaze. The little girl nodded and shyly walked over to the lady she didn't know.

Smiling softly as she knelt down she giggled and reached into her pocket. Smiling as she pulled out a small box, she handed it towards Mariemaia.
"Here is a gift for you, Mariemaia. I'm Lia. Is there anything you would like to go do?"

Mariemaia peeked into the box slowly. She wasnt sure what it was, for all she could know it would be one of those boxes where something pops out she screams everyone laughs, and she dies a little inside.
"I would wike to eat...I hungwies..."

Smiling softly as Mariemaia looked inside the box, she wondered if the child would like the little gold necklace with the pink heart that read 'Paper Doll' on it. She gently extended her hand and gave a soft nod.
"Alright, Mariemaia, we'll go get you some food. What is your favorite type of food? We have a large variety here in Bowerstone."

Mariemaia looked at the neckless closely she had never been given many gifts. Life was hard where she lived, extremely hard.
"Well I wike omewettes, but no onions."

Smiling softly as she gently pulled the necklace from the box, and after waiting a moment, clasped it around the child's neck. Smiling brightly, she stood up and held her hand out for security and comfort reasons, just in case Mariemaia might like to hold onto her hand around all these strangers.
"Alright then, I'll take you back to my house and fix you up a nice omlette. How does bacon and cheese sound, or would you rather tell me exactly what you like on your omlette, and I can make it that way?"

Mariemaia smirked lightly at her, and took hold of her hand.
"I also wike mushwooms!"
The little girl had more spunk than her father, she must have taken after her mother. She wasn't as anti social and dark as her father was.

"I think I'll get along with you more than your father, Mariemaia. I like you."
Smiling softly as she began to walk, gently swinging her hand back and forth as she walked to add some spring in their boring walk back to her house. She walked through the Bowerstone North gates and picked Mariemaia up, swinging her around once in the beautiful garden that led to her home. She then set her down and took her hand again, giggling softly as she walked inside her large home.
"Bacon, cheese, and mushrooms then? Anything else?"

"Ummmm well I umm"
She thought quietly as she considered what else she could want.
"Some sausage links."
