" No. But clearly they are to their elders... Young'uns these days have no respect for those with more years on ther shoulders... I doubt they would have acted in such a way if they knew I was once a Varja," he leads the way down the quiet street, the dirt was muddy and their hooves sunk into it as if the constant churning of travelers had made it utterly unable to remain solid

[~echo~]

Athdara looked down at the churned up ground and made a face. "Gross."

[CrimsonMoon]

" Thats what happens when feet keep the earth moving," The Hunter muses, leading the way toward the center of the city

[~echo~]

Athdara, used to the quiet sounds of a private house or the forest, jumped at the slightest of unnatural noises- a cough sounding from a run-down house, a cat screeching in protest to something, or even the sound of a quiet conversation. She pulled her shawl closer around her shoulders and held Uanys and Enya's hands tightly.

[~echo~]

(Ahem...)

[~echo~]

Bump

[CrimsonMoon]

The Hunter places a gentle hand on Athdara's back, he seemed utterly and completely calm, but there was a certain tenseness to his shoulder that Ceadda had gotten when he was preparing to fight a rival...

[~echo~]

Athdara jumped even at his touch and then relaxed somewhat. His tenseness, though, brought to mind of the day when Ceadda had killed their previous king. She watched as a large building came into view, wondering f that was where they were headed.

[CrimsonMoon]

The temple was like a spartan palace. The tallest building havin no more than three stories while the rest was basically a wall built around the complex made up of long rows of buildings. There were seperate plots set aside for some sort of training and even at this time of night, the court yard was still filled with life, mainly young boys doing dome sort of chores.

The Hunter walked to the huge gate and knocks three times. An old man opens it, bent with age and with a long white beard that made Enya smile with delight,"... Hunter..?" The man rasps with obvious shock," My Gods..."

[~echo~]

The centaur remembered her manners and bent one knee, bowing to the man. She looked at Uanys and Enya, clearly wanting them to do the same. Uanys, however, looked suspicious and cautious. So much like his father... Athdara looked at the man, her dark brown eyes full of wonder. "Hello," she said. "I come seeking sanctuary with my children."

[CrimsonMoon]

The old man gazes at the Centaurs, his eyes softening," They exsist..." He breathes and smiles faintly, opening the gate wider," Come come."

Enya hugs her mother's arm, smiling weakly

[~echo~]

Athdara swayed nervously but walked through the gate, her two children at her side. She smile comfortingly down at the foal. "It's okay," she said softly. Uanys let go of his moms hand and looke at the boys who were training, wondering if he would someday be a great warrior.

[CrimsonMoon]

They are ushered in an immediately are stared at, Enya ducks her head nervously but Hunter leads them confidently into a stable, choosing a clean and warm stall large enough for all three cnetaurs even if the children were grown," You may sleep here, i'll keep you safe until morning comes..."

[~echo~]

The centauress, however, looked highly affronted. She stamped her front hoof menacingly. "A stable? Do you think me and my children common mules? Pretty ponies to gape at from behind the safety of a door? I am offended!" she said fiercely- she could be very scary if need be.

[~echo~]

Bump

[~echo~]

Bump

[~echo~]

Bump

[CrimsonMoon]

" We sleep in stables too, you know that don't you?" He tilts his head, Enya tugging her mother's shawl before flopping down onto the soft hay, hugging it to her smallbody... She seemed content enough

[~echo~]

Athdara blew out what sounded strongly like a snort. She looked done at her daughter then sighed. "Fine."

[CrimsonMoon]

Hunter smiles and kisses Athdarra's cheek gently before patting her son's head and ruffling Enya's hair. The tiny foal muzzles the hay and flashes one of her rare smiles, her bright blue eyes glittering
