Ziare packed the last of her things into her satchel. The note and the one fire red feather lay on the bed beside her bag as a constant reminder of the quest she was about to embark on. She picked up the notice that had appeared two days ago on her pillow upon waking. Ziare Annabelle Langely, You have been chosen. Here you must travel to the lands of Asia where your quest will be set. There will be further instruction after you reach the continent. You may bring one other but only one you trust with all your life. The test begins. It was those words that was causing Ziare to pack. One person..who else Jyo obviously. She only hoped he wasn't busy this weekend and they could go. She closed her bag and invitation in hand she began making her way to Jyo's dorm room. She was worried he would be too busy. She knocked. Usually she just went in but for some reason today she just couldn't. "Jyo.." she said through the door after she knocked.

Jyo had been busy practicing his levitation spell. He was crosslegged and upside down in the air clad in his black slacks and the grey shirt he normally wore. He was also barefoot. He had several objects from his room around him. his sword,the picture of he and Ziare, The old shorsword he used for so long. Ember's collor and several books as well.
He heard a knock and then Ziare's voice calling his name. "Come on in love" He said still keeping his eyes closed as he kept himself and the objects afloat.

Ziare walked in nervously. Now she had NEVER been nervous around Jyo but something about this quest and asking Jyo if he wanted to come along made her a little apprehensive.
She sat her large sack down and kept the invitation and feather in hand as she waited for him to finish so she wouldn't disturb him. To look at Ziare was to see the epitomy of nervousness. She leaned against the wall on free hand twirling her long locks and her eyes staring at the floor.

Jyo was soon done. The items went back to their proper places and he lightly landed on his feet then tied his long hair back and looked over at Ziare seeing she had a bag. "Well it seems you are heading off somewhere. Whats up?" He asked curiously.

Ziare looked up her crystalline eyes showing her fears as to what she might find when she got to Asia.
She couldn't speak but only handed Jyo the note and feather before grabbing her stomach as nausia had hit her hard this morning now that she was actually leaving.

Jyo's eyes quickly scanned over the note. He gave Ziare a comforting look. "Well this is interesting. I'm more then willing to come along. I assume thats why you came over here. After all. Not only are we lovers. We're a team. I'm ready to stand by you through everything if you want." He said and handed the note back giving the most reassuring smile he could.

Ziare smiled and looked into Jyo's eyes as he said those words. She blushed for some strange reason at the team part but it was what she needed to hear. She moved fast throwing her arms around Jyo and hugging him tightly.
"I was hoping you would come with me love." she whispered it was obvious how thankful she was. "I'm not sure how they mean to test us or me but I want you there with me, I'm stronger when you are there."
She pulled back but stayed close looking into his beautiful green eyes.
"Thank you, Jyo."

"Of cousre I'd be there for you. Let me get my stuff together." he said and walked to where his shoes were and slid them on. He donned his large red coat and sheathed his sword. He fastend Ember's collar to his upper arm and then threw some things together in a bag. "Alrighty then. I'm set." he said walking back to Ziare and giving her a hug. "Is there a portal to take. Or do we rough it?" He asked.

She was elated the Jyo was going to join her suddenly the treck didn't seem as foreboding as it had this morning.
"The letter said to take the portal to Asia from then we'll get our next clue and I think we rough it from there." she said shrugging. "I don't even know what this is about."
She looked to Jyo for comfort something he always seemed to have in great quantity for her. She picked up her bag and shouldered it ready to leave.

Jyo nodded. "Alright then. Well lets see whats in sore for us." he said sling his bag over his shoulder leading them out. He locked his dorm up and then they headed to the portal area to go to their destination.
"So any ideas as to what this might be about. I'm kinda clueless about it myself. Whoever sent this wanted it to be a surprise." He said as they walked.

Ziare shook her head.
"I have no idea. I woke up one morning two days ago with this note and feather on my pillow. My window was still closed and locked and my door was well. Only you have a key to my dorm room and I know you didn't put it there that's not really your style...unless??" she looked at him with her eyebrow raised. "Is this a vacation?"
"Come to think of it you're the only one who knows my real name. But...that really still doesn't seem like you."

Jyo's relaxed mood suddenly went away and his eyes narrowed slightly. "No this wasn't my doing. And that raises some concerns. The Academy has wards against such intrusions. Whoever did this was powerful. We'd best be more careful than I thought we would have to be." He said as they went to the portal room. Sure enough a portal was there.
"Well are we ready?" he asked looking at Ziare.

Ziare nodded she figured it wasn't Jyo. But somehow she wasn't scared about the trip anymore now that he was along. She trusted him with her life and she knew he would be careful with it.
"I'm ready." she said and stepped through the portal turning to wait for Jyo. The weather was perfect it was spring and many flowers were blooming all around the portal. The wildlife grew well in this wilderness area.

Jyo stepped through with Ziare. He looked around seeing the beauty of the area. "Pity we have a task to complete. I think it's pretty here." he said keeping an eye out for anything that stood out wondering what this person or these people who sent Ziare the note wanted.

"Perhaps on our way back we can spend the night here. That would be really nice. And it isn't often we can travel to Asia really." she said thinking about how nice it would be.
A red flicker caught her gaze and she looked up to see a small red bird flying to her. Instinct made her hold out her hand and the bird landed on her fingers chirping happily.
"Well hello there." she said smiling and looking at Jyo.
Good you have arrived. You are to travel three miles east to wait for your next key. I see you brought a mate. Good. With that the bird flew off and Ziare looked at Jyo her eyebrows rose. She quickly told him what the little bird had said.
