New Beginnings

[Gemma Ward]

Gemma sat at a corner table, her face hidden behind her drink. Around her the bar was alive with life, people constantly coming and going, worrying about this and that, or merely laughing with old friends over a pint. It made her think of right before the Amor's last move. Yes, they were a nomadic people, often compared to Gypsies and Thieves, but they were one apart of them, unfortunately the rest of the world didn't see it that ways, and often the Amor was forced to move on in order to keep the peace that they promoted.

The Troll Spit had been the most recent stop off for the group and Gemma saw this as a new beginning for her "family".

"Here we go." She said to herself as she thought about what was to come.

~Val sat with her in a daze dreaming. His normal white hair was almost black now with a few white streaks. His eyes were different as well. One was Green the other Red. From the normal blue that he liked to sport while in the publics view. This day was different though. His mind was else where in a distance land many years ago. at hearing Gems words he snapped to life. Almost spilling his drink. He turned to her.~
": Did you say something?:"

[Gemma Ward]

"Oh!" she said startled, not realizing that Val had been paying any attention, for they both seemed to be off in their own worlds at the moment. "I was just thinking about how this is really a new start for all of us."

Gemma had know Val as long as she could remember, he had stumbled upon her after she had lost all that she had know. Her family had left her alone, as far as they were concerned she would never be marriageable, and as a daughter she was to independent to be useful to them. Val had had hope in her when no one else had.

~Smileing at her he nodded.~
":Ah yes and this place seems to be the best bet to get our feet settled in. Most in our group don't have that stableness yet but it will come in due time. You and I both know that. We have all we need now or at least we have a good start. Sar is amazing with with combat and weapons. Ved is great Man with even greater Strengths and his sense of direction is Uncanny to any other being I have ever met. Fel I don't even know where to start with her. Then theres you of course and I can't forget about myself.:"
~He smiled and took a drink and some weird drink that he had on his table. as he did the white in his hair turned to black. He put down his drink~
":Each of our powers evolves each and ever day. Sometimes we don't tend to notice it and other times we do. Do you remember when I first came upon you? You showed no sign of any ability. Yet look at you today. Everyone has it in them they just need to harness it.:"

[Gemma Ward]

She smiled knowing exactly what he meant, "Aye you did have a way of making my eyes come alive, both literally and figuratively." She took another sip of her drink. "I still don't know why you put up with me though, stubborn as I am." She winked at him.

She eyed the room. "Do you really think we'll be welcome here? I mean, after the way we were treated in the last place..."

[Valux]

~He chuckled slightly at her comment.~
":Well now they don't know about that now do they? So for what reason wouldn't we be welcomed? I mean we pay for the drinks don't we? Besides it shouldn't be long before we get our own lands back. We're just waiting on the gods for that one.
~He looked up at the ceiling and let out gasp and stretched his arms.~
":Its been a long road my dear and its only going to get longer.:"

[Gemma Ward]

"You know how stories travel. And I can't say that all have welcomed us in open arms." She replied, "And I don't know how much we can count on the Gods, not that I'm lacking in faith, but they do seem to be taking their times. Perhaps we won't ever have our own lands back." She sighed. It had been years since they were free to wander across their own lands. She meant it when she said that she wasn't lacking in faith, but She was losing trust in the Gods. It seemed that despite the waiting that the Amor had done, nothing would ever be going their way.

"Perhaps I should trust in your judgment more Val, you haven't led us to far astray before."

[Valux]

":You know I always want you to go by what your heart tells you. Never listen to something you feel isn't right. I may have chosen the right paths before but I may not always do that. You also must remember that I am not the only leader of our group. Us five always must have a say in things. But I do have a nice feeling that it won't be long soon before we get our whole body stable.:"
~He grinned at her. The colors of his eyes had Switched they were now Red and Green. To any person other then Gem in the bar Val would be suspicious.~

[Gemma Ward]

"It's my heart that got me kicked out of my family's home. I don't know that I trust it too much." She said. "And you are right, we are all in this together. We have to remember that. I've notice that when we forget this little face, we start to mistrust. You see it in all of us."

[Valux]

":But remember as well if not for your wonderful heart you and I would have never met. Some people are meant to make their family's through their friends and not their blood lines. As you remember I do not remember any of mine own kin. As for being in this together I don't think any of them will ever forget that. We are one in the same practically. If one of us dies or abandons us then a piece of all of us dies. :"
~Looking towards that bar to see if anything had happened since he and and Gem had started their conversation.~
