Its been a week since Franz, otherwise known as the black armored black, had battle the bandit leader Shay mistwolf. They both engaged in a brutal battle against each other and they both came out sustaining heavy wounds.
"gah, this shoulder of mine.Lucius, are you sure that you healed it" Franz complained as he grasped his shoulder, multiple stab wounds does not do wonders for ones body, its been a while since they left the town, just an hour really.
"Sir, youve asked me that we have left, I think you know my answer" responded lucius as he rode his horse, it shaking its head as if he wants to kick the two.
"I know, its just I hate feeling this pain. Are you sure I have to wait two weeks till it goes away" Lucius nodded pretending to hear his annoyed boss
" I think I should have went with Leonard when we sent him ahead along with the others" thought lucius

Shay and a group of five of her bandits followed them at a far distance, far enough away to not be detected by magic but close enough to follow the tracks of the group.
Every time her grey horse, Smoky, took a step forward Shay winced slight in pain. The last blow that Franz had delt her had broken the ribs on her left side and bring stubborn as she was she had stopped her healer from fixing them all the way so that he could help the other bandits injured by Franz's ice or the guards.
After having gotten away from the mercenaries Shay had realize that one of the daggers she had thrown was an extremely important item and she was determined to get it back despite the fact that she was still injured. "Shay, how long are we gonna follow these people?" one of her bandits asked. "Until I think it's a good time to I and get that dagger back." Shay said looking up at re sky and frowned seeing storm clouds rolling in.

"Sir, can I ask something?"Lucies said , franz turned his head at him and nodded " why did you keep the knives? The very ones that caused the lovely wounds on your right shoulder?"
Franz grinned and saud "because they are quite well made, esoecially this one with the symbol, she said to hold onto them and I will"
"Why?" Again lucius asked
"mementos, a memory of fun battle"he responded and they remained silent for a while

Shay sighed and kicked her horse into a trot to make sure they would not loose the groups tracks and the wind picked up bringing the smell d a severe storm with it. The horses tossed their head's nervous.

Shay rode heading off in a similar direction. The group would probably head for the cave, but Shay had an underground 'fort' that was built in the cave system further down. The connecting passage was blocked up but still spy on then from it. Lighting flashed in the huge stormclouds, in the typical anvil shaped thunderheads of a severe storm.

Once they reached the cave they made sure to tightly tie the horses harness around a rock formation so the horses dont bolt for it when they get frightened by the sound of thunder.
"How long do you think the storm will last, Lucius?" Franz asked as he sat down near the entrance
" Can't be certain ,sir. I am hoping its a passing storm" he said taking out small pieces of wood in case it isn't, a fire would do good in this cold cave
"I do as well , I don't wish to be late for such an important event" he said, excitement in his eyes.
" its the first time since the begning of the century, hasn't it sir?" Franz nodded at this
"Yes, its time, soon it will begin, and a great future shall be provided" he smiled " the future of the Broken and all of its future shall be decided"

Shay and er bandit took trit horses into the underground shelter's stable. The place was uilt for at lest thirty people and was much older than Shay was. It was something her grandparents had built, nd it was comic in handy tonight. "Well, what do you think about the storm, Shay?" one of her people, a young man name Jaden, asked. Shay looke at the storm from the entance. "It's going to be a long storm, and a bad ne, you see those clouds?" she pointed the ominously low clouds out. "That is never a good sign, go and tell Hanef to make sure that we have plenty of wood, food and water will you?" "Alright! On it!" Jaden said.

"Are the steaks done yet Lucius" asked Franz as he lied down on the caves floor rather lazily as he watched the heavy storm a distance away from the caves distance
"Patience sir, its been only a few minutes since I began cooking them" He responded as he dangled the two pieces on top of the fire with a stick "Why don't you take a short nap, I'll wake you once I am done"
"I think I shall" he gently closed his eyes and smiled a nap does wonders for ones health

The storm started to arrive in less than twenty minutes, bringing with it heavy rain and lots of lighting. Shay watched from a sheltered vantage point, her face drawn into a slight scowl. With all of this heavy rain fall it would cause lots of mud on the hill that the cave entrace was dug into. There where lots of rocks to, it would make a mess if there was a landslide, the ground was already wet from the cold heavy rains found in this area. Shay sighed and jumped down and went to get her horse, she was not really fond of Franz at the moment, but she did not want him to starve to death trapped in the cave, there wheren't any entrances leading out of it that he could fit through if the front entrance became blocked. She coaxed Smoky outside, who followed but not happily and rode to the direction of the cave.

After a few minutes Lucius felt that someone was nearby , thus he set the steaks aside as to nt end up burning them and approached the entrance, and groaned as he saw who it was "Sir, its that bandit woman we met lastweek"
Hearing this Franz snapped awake smiling " Oh reaaally?" He got up from the ground ather quickly and greeted the bandit girl "why hello dear guest"
"Sir, she as ,you well know, is not a guest" Lucius complained only to be ignored by his wondrful boss

Shay smiled slightly at Lucius then looked at Franz "Hello, I'm going to suggest you move out of this cave and to where I'm staying, this storms going to last awhile and all of this rain is going to cause a mudslide." She said getting straight to the point wanting to hurry and get back to the shelter.

"Sir, it could be a tra...."
"Sure, wouldnt want to get trapped" he as he snapped his fingers and his ice caused the fire to cool out, Lucius grumble at his boss's lunacy, they fetched the hirses and followed miss shay outside the cave and into the horrible storm

Shay laughed and smiled at Lucius "I think you're giving me to much credit, mister." She said to him before she nudged her horse into a quick trot heading off to the shelter.

"So why did you follow us?" Lucius asked still suspicious of her intentions
"Come now ,Lucius. Its because she would like her knives back" Franz said as he touched the pouch hanging from his waist "they must be quite important to you for you to follow us despite the injuries I gave yoh, how are the wounds I gave you anyway"

"Well my ribs are still broken, but most of the bruises are on thier way to disappearing." Shay said looking over at him then glancing up at the sky and frowned at the color. She kicked her horse into a run with a "Hurry!"

Shay slowed to a walk a short while later when they where infront of the door. She got off and kicked the door "Hey! Open up!" she called. One of her people opened the heavy door which was locked from the inside. He blinked seeing Franz and Lucius "Uhm...Shay?" he asked. "It's okay, I went snd got them." she said coming inside leading Smoky.

The person looked suspiciously at them but nodded in return for a hello. Shay laughed "I guess you could say that." she said. Her people where gathered in the main hall close to where they had come in and where laughing and joking. "The stables are down this way."

They both nodded and headed for the stables " Sir, please tell me that giving her back the knives is not the only reason for following her" he whispered as quietly as he could.
"Yes" Franz responded to the baffled Lucius " You seem to find this confusing Lucius, do you want to know why I care enough to give back theses knives" Lucius really did not want to hear his boss' logic" she does not care that much about most of the knives to follow us, but rather, a specific knife" He sais pulling out the sid dagger "the only one that differentiates the other completely" Franz looked at the knife " I am familiar of its signicigaretteince what I want to know is how she came into position" He grinned and chuckled " By the way Lucius, Miss bandit and her subordinate heard everything we just said"

Shay emerged from the stall where she had put Smoky carrying his saddled and bridal "So it's Lucius is it?" she asked him smiling "that's good to know! Well mister Franz, I will anwer you're questions if you'll answer mine." she set the saddle over a wooden bar so that it could dry out from being soaked. After that she pulle her bright green bandanna of and wrung it out.

Shay laughed watching "I'll have Kaden come and rush you're horses down." she said "with that sort of storm you might as well make everyone comfortable, cause it's gonna be a while." she said heading up toward the main hall motioning for them to follow.

"Well I want to know where you're going, and what was so special about that pendant." Shay said.

"To answer your first, we were headin to the desert for a family reunion, a rather large one at that" he smiled fondly as his left hand trembled in excitement " and the Pendant is the reason for the reuniomn, which brings us to your second question , what is so special about it" he chuckled thinking of a certain legend " Think of it as a key, one of five, and their purpose is to open a door that one would rather keep shut. Now, my family has a duty to keep that door shut, lest one of those many end of the world scenarios ends up coming true. and due to their nature the pendants have been embended with powerful magic to keep that door shut"he said as he placed his hand on his chest " And of course there is that it would be dangerous if they felll in the wrong hands cliche" he then waved as if he had been through such ordeals before

Shay nodded thinking about it then grinned "No wonder you're friend from before was freaking out so much." she said laughing. "Poor guy if we'd've taken it you'd be truly to chase me!"
