A Visiting Vassal

[Horu]

The day was only half done and the sun shined brightly in the the sky. The gentle breeze was filled with the sounds and smells of life. From the market came the sounds of foot fall, and from the food stalls came the delightful odors of many wonderful fruits, and meats. Children played in the streets and adults wander from one place to another, working for their gold or using their gold for their everyday needs.

All in all the Kingdom in Avaren was a seemingly proud city. And it attracted the eyes of many different gods, though the chapel only worshiped one. One of those gods, Bahamut, had sent his Vasal. The man that was his Vasal was Horu, A paladin of 29 years.

The Man road on a beautiful brown roan steed; Who's hooves clicked against the cobblestone path that led to the fine holy building in Avaren. The horse's saddle bags where leaden with mostly food. For both himself and his master.

This master was a fine example of a man, with a Strong broad shoulders, and a fine young face. He was clad in a sturdy platinum scale-mail. The reflection of the sun nearly blinded those that looked at his armor from the wrong angle. He held his helm at his side. and his sword was sheathed safely in its scabbard. He Shield, which depicted the symbol of Bahamut, was strapped to his back.

Horu steered his Faithfull steed to a small sable near the rear to the chapel, notice that he was not the only one that owned a horse as there was another already there. Horses, it seemed, where almost customary for a paladin to ride a steed. Still, he parked his horse in the sable filled the trough with grain from the horse's saddle bag and proceeded towards the chapel, and wondered who he might meet inside.

[Napeir]

Napeir had been on his little hunt for Meglian, his cat, who found it funny to hide from him. His black boots hit hard on the ground beneath him as he approached a Church of Bahamut, Meglian favored tough places. Staring up he studied the design but into the buildings craft, reflecting its religion as well as the people who based it. He had rarely been to this side of town and had only seen the church from a distance as he had spent most of his years in the alleyways near the center-most part of the town. Pushing the doors open with great force he walked in, a few of the people in the building eyed him suspiciously as he searched the rooms every nick and cranny for his cat. The chances of finding Meglian in this place were 5 to none, due to its large size and Meglians small build. He felt tension in the air , knowing what was being said behind his back he sighed and shot a quick glance over to the people, who were now grouped together instead of being spread out like they had been when he first walked in. He had expected to see some Paladins in the building, yet he had not seen many, if he had seen any at all. This darkness was playing tricks on him, he would have to find his cat quick and get out before trouble did start. He knew he wasn't very welcome here but the trail that Meglian had left had lead right to this building. Glancing around he found his target, two little shining eyes were staring at him from under a table, which to his dismay was literally bolted to the ground leaning down he realized that his cat was not coming out of there with out a fight.

"Your joking right, you can't seriously want me to do this" he said to the cat, who's only response was turning around to face the other way " fine then, but your the one who's going to get in trouble"

Reaching for the sides of the table he braced himself, he was going to have to rip it out of the floor!

[Horu]

This was not the church of Bahamut. It was the Church to the local deity, but Horu was not one to be rude. As he would hope paladins from other lands would at least pay their respects to Bahamut had they entered his homeland. And so, he was here to do the same, to sho the peole of the church, as well as the local deity that he meant no disrespect.

As he entered and looked around at the unique architecture, he spotted a man that seemed rather out of place as he searched for something. When the person found what he was looking for, he followed his line of site to a cat that was hiding under a low table, that was bolted to the ground. Alarm bells rang in Horu's head as he saw what the other man was about to do. He was not about to let someone deface the churches furniture.

He moved quickly forward. and just as the boy began to brace himself Horu placed a n armored boot on the table holding it down so that He wouldn't be able to lift it. "Don't strain yourself. There are more gentle ways of retrieving the feline.

Eyeing the boy with annoyance he lowered himself down. His sword made a metallic ring as he pulled it from it's scabbard. (not done.)
