While waiting for Eliah, a gathering came to await their departure, when she finally arived she was followed outside by prince Razililsus, who was in turned follwed by his many wives who all looked pleased to see her go. Having already placed his things onto his horse, he took up the laides bags and placed them on the back of the carrige before opening the door for her to get in.

Getting in the carriage, Eliah sat back behind the curtins not wanting to look upon those who came to farewell her. Though took one last look at the palace before she was banished to be guarded by Aloysius, the future did not look all that positive in Eliah's eyes though she still had faith. "I'm ready" She said lightly to Aloysius.

Moving off infront of the carrige, he set the pace for the slaves, this was not an option that he that he agreed with, though they were paid to pull the heavy weight the act of treating them as animals was apaulable, once they reached the limits of Rome he would opt for a lighter and faster mode of transport. Over the otherside of the hill the hid Rome behind them Aloysius stopped his horse and paid the slaves to take up rest for a week elsewhere owned by the empire. Lodaing the ladies thing onto his horse and the extra he brought along for her, he waited for her to mount them kept them moving at a faster pace, Florence was a 2 day ride away and the least time it took to get there the better.

Switching transport, Eliah mounted her white beast turning it around to look at rome again before riding off to catch up to Aloysius. The grassy hills of the Roman Empire was enchanting and inspirational.Once next to the Captian, she slowed down to ride beside him. "Why were you in the Throne room?"

As Eliah had came beside him he gave her a quick glance, "The emperor sent for me" He was still unsure as to why he had been called there, looking on ahead he kept focussed on the land ahead, it was always wise to keep a visual aout you.

Confused, Eliah stopped asking questions and decided to just look around at the scenery. Though everything was going down the dain for her, she was glad that she was out of the palace... and plus seeing florance would be a new adventure though everyday she would have to put up with Aloysius. The wind was picking up a bit though only enough to brush Eliah's hair from shadowing her face. All the smells and sounds of the open grasses felt so calming.

They had been in the sddle now for two days with little conversation passing between them, they were close to arriving in florence, but Aloysius had to make one last stop, nature was calling and he couldnt ignor it any longer. Dismounting he tied his mount to a over hanging tree, "Wait here" Entering the cluster of trees, he relieved himself. Upon looking back to check on Eliah he saw a band of 3 greecians headed dead toward her, redoing his pants he held his hand on the hilt of his swordand dashed back to the field.

Eliah was tired and sore from the ride, she could just see Florance in the distance as Aloysius had to make a stop. Relaxing in her saddle, Eliah was just about to call him back when she saw his withdrew his sword and come towards her. Scared and fightened she quickly dismounted so that she would be able to escape him but as she did just above her head came the whistle of an arrow slaming into the tree in front of her. Turning around she saw the band of Greecians aim for her and rushing right at her.

Running as fast as he could towards Eliah he yelled to her, "Get in the bushes and stay low!" Her wearing white was not in her favour but he was sure he could defend her, as all 3 greecians dismounted, the bowman went after Eliah, quickly instilling a fatal blow in his way past he engaged in combat with the other two, though attempting to get past him Aloysius held them at bay. When the last man fell Aloysius made sure to move the bodies away from the horses, so that they were out of the ladies sight, making his way through the undergrowth, he called out to her, "Eliah! It is safe!"

Doing so, Eliah had ran deep into the scrub and kept low to the ground, she could here the slip of his sword through the men and their thundering falls. Breathing heavily when Aloysius called her back, she raised herself from the floor and walked back to the road. She brushed off the dirt from her and pulled the arrown out from the tree to examine it. "What were the greeks doing so far in the Roman Empire? Probably cause the future Empress in on the road." She threw the arrow into the ground and grabbed her horse reins. turning to Aloysius she smiled. "It seems im thanking you for a lot lately"

Eliah's smile had once shone brightly in the palace, it was what one everyones heart and made her well liked by the family, "You having nothing to thank me for, you are in my care empress-to-be" Untieing his steed, he quickly mounted and made towards the hill, "Perhaps you would like to keep the arrow, it did almost kill you" He tried to make light of the fact, but Aloysius was not often one for jokes.

" no... i wouldn't like to be reminded of how my being is hunted" She mounted her horse and turned towards the city of Florance. "This isn't the first time" Riding up the hill to Aloysius, Eliah looked upon Florance with all it's beauty and calm nature.

Reaching the top of the hill, Aloysius slowed down in their decent, so that his horse did not stumble, it also gave him ample opertunity to access the surroundings. Having reached the decent, he sped on towards to towns entrance, past the guards and officail town buildings, temples dedicated to the Gods and the taverns filled with wine. Travelling some time until the reached their destination, Aloysius pulled hius horse to a stop in front of a large marble building admist wine yards.

Eliah had only heard of Florance and this was more then expected. Relaxed, Eliah followed the Captian through the city until they reached a large house surrounded by endless vineyards behind it. It was of marble white and covered in climbing vines. It was remarkably beautiful and natural. Eliah loved it. Looking around at the place she was happy that she could spend some time. Though was really nervous. She smiled at the beauty. She waited for Aloysius to continue before she would.

As lady Eliah came to a stop next to him, Aloysius dismounted and went straight up to the building, scale the few steps there were, he was greeted by the head of the house, briefly informing her of the situation at the palace and their reason for being here, he introduced her to Eliah. "Eliah, this is Nevalainen, if you ever find yourself needing something, she is who you should seek"
