After running upstairs to the room the innkeeper had provided for me, and requesting a much needed bath (we were all a little ripe smelling after wondering around for several days, I realized that I still wasn't sleepy. "Thank heavens I only need to sleep occasionally."
I put on my armor and sword and knife looked in the mirror. Again it was like I was seeing everything in double vision - in one (like I had an inner eye) I could see the power inbued in the armor and bow and knife. The other view only showed a worn bow, a beat up set of armor and a knife that needed sharpening. Out of place was the glow from the sword called [color:"yellow"]~Wizards Bane~ [/color].
I frowned down at it and thought "Well sword, you really shouldn't be trying to attract that much attention. Why don't you tone it down a bit?"
To my amazement it did! Oh, not to my 'inner' eye, just in the other vision that everyone in the 'mundane' world could see.
I laughed and clattered down the stairs, glancing around to see who was still awake in the main area of the tavern. Seeing that Viper wasn't there I walked outside into the bright sunshine to look for him. Taking a deep breath, "My the world is truly amazing."
Glancing around I saw him reclining on the grass not far from the inn. I started biting on my lip, trying to bolster my courage to go up and talk to him. I laughed at myself, "Gee DQueene, you're not afraid in any battle, but your completely terrified to go up and talk to one of your companions. How silly is that? Come on girl, you can do it."
I walked over to Viper and waited for him to notice I was there.
