One.. by... one.
They only fall... a-part.
Can it be.. undone?

The large town was full of life, people hustling and bustling about, conversations being had, money being exchanged, people greeting each other, some others getting into fights, the works.

It seemed like a very busy area... but there was a reason for that.

This was the port city of Fygra. And it was the main connecting point on this continent, Eusara, that went to the other continent, Ozoth, at THEIR port city, Kreeya. For all intents and purposes, this was the back and forth of Fygra, and it had a lot of people coming and going.

The carriage that Adym and Callie were on came to a stop, and Adym paid the driver when it did.

"Thank you." he said to the driver, as he and Callie exited the vehicle and stepped away, letting the driver continue on.

"Well... we're here." he said to her.

"Fygra." he declared.

"We need to get tickets for the ship to Kreeya." he suggested.

"That needs to be done, above all else. Yeah, the trip was uneventful, thank the fates, but it still took a considerable chunk of time." he said. "I'm pretty sure we only have one more moon until the ship sails." he mumbled.

Callie nodded before looking around.

"This place... " She started before falling silent. He could tell that she was in awe though, having, as far as she could recall, never seen somewhere quite like there before. After a few seconds, she just shook her head.

"Right, I'm guessing we want to go to the dock to get the tickets." She then said. "Which, well, I can see the water from here, so I'm guessing that we need to head that way. Seems most logical." She added with a light laugh.

"Lead the way, Adym. I'd probably get distracted on my own."

"Correct." Adym replied.

"Well... on the docks being were we get tickets, and them being by the water." he clarified.

"Can't really say much on you getting distracted or not..." he admitted.

They then made their way through the crowds, eventually reaching a small enclosure with a man in it.

"Yes, can I help you?" he asked them.

"Two tickets for the next ship to Kreeya, please." Adym replied.

The man handed them two tickets, and Adym paid with some of the money they had.

"Leaves tomorrow when the sun's right overhead." the man told them.

"Thank you." Adym responded, as they left.

"Looks like we managed it."

Callie nodded.

"Which is good. We were basically told it's that or we're boned, after all." She commented.

'So it's definitely a good thing that we managed to get the tickets." She paused a moment here, looking around. She felt... something, even if she couldn't identify it. There was just something there.

"Anyway, stay at the inn for the night, I suppose?" She asked after a couple of seconds, looking around.

Adym looked around as well, narrowing his eyes.

"Hmm." he mumbled.

"Yes..." he said.

"We should find a place for the night." he agreed, before seeing and hearing some commotion going on.

"Eh?" he mumbled.

"What's going on?" he asked someone that was hurrying by.

"Haven't you heard!?" the person exclaimed.

"Princess Icesska is here in town!"

Callie was silent as she heard what was said.

"Excuse me, what?" She asked with a laugh.

"You're kidding, right?"

"Not at all!" the man responded.

"Now, excuse me, I must catch a glimpse of her!" he then exclaimed, before running off.

Sure enough, in the noise of the crowd, they heard people chanting.

"Princess!"

"Lady Icesska!"

"Princess Icesska!"

"She's back! It's really her!" and such.

"..." Adym was silent, and looked at Callie.

"Okay... I'm curious..." he admitted to her.

"Honestly? So am I." Callie admitted after a few seconds before sighing lightly.

"Part of me still doesn't believe that story you fed me back at your place." She added as they walked, their curiousity to see who this woman was rather apparent.

"I mean, I'm just a small town girl. But at the same time, I can't deny the fact that Dad did teach me stuff that... really seems out of place back home... or at least where I know."

Adym raised his eyebrow as they made their way to the congregation that had collected.

"Oh?" he asked.

"I see." he said.

"Regardless, let's see what this is about." he told her.

When they reached the thickest part of the crowd, they pushed through some people, before finally managing to catch a glimpse of something that... kind of looked like Callie.

From a distance, she looked very similar.

However, there were clear differences.

Callie was silent when she saw the figure as they turned to head inside a building.

". . . that blue is so not mine." She commented.

"I'm not sure what to think, do you?" She asked, ehr voice curious.

"Because I'm at a serious loss. I mean, back where I know, that'd be seriously illegal."

"It's frowned upon here, too." Adym replied.

"But then again, nobody knows what happened to you or your father." he said.

"If she came up with some kind of story, then people might believe her." he reasoned.

"Granted, I have no idea what sort of story she came up with..." he then admitted.

"But odds are she's at least a good story-spinner." he mumbled.

He then sighed and shook his head.

"Regardless, this is a dangerous game she's playing, whoever she is."

Callie was silent for a moment before just isghing.

". . . I really hope it doesn't kill her." was all she said before looking around.

"Looks like the crowd is starting to disperse, too." She added after a moment or two.

"We should hole up somewhere for the night too. Make it that I'm not seen and called a fake or some shit."

"....right." Adym responded.

"Let's find a place a good distance away from the building she went into." he reasoned.

He then looked around, before gesturing down the way, where she saw a wooden sign in the distance, with a mug of ale on it.

"There." he said.

"Looks like a tavern and inn." he commented.

"They usually have good deals on staying the night, because they make their money on alcohol."

Callie nodded.

"Sounds good." She said before sighing.

"I really hope that the imposter knows what they're getting into..."She added before they headed off to the inn to stay the night.

As soon as they stepped inside though, Callie hesitated a moment.

She felt... weird, but couldn't place it. Had no idea what it was, and didn't bring it up with Adym. Hell, if he asked, she'd just say that she didn't feel the best or something. But ... she couldn't ignore whatever it was that she was feeling.

Adym looked over towards her when they stepped inside.

"Callie?" he asked.

"Is something up?" he asked her.

"You've been acting kind of spacey for a bit, ever since we got here." he commented.

"Something wrong?" he inquired.

"Or am I being too nosy?"

Callie just sighed before meeting Adym's gaze.

'Honestly... I don't know." She answered.

"I just... I feel... off I suppose." She then added, klnowing that it wasn't really saying much of anything.

"I really can't put my finger on it."

".....that's concerning." Adym responded.

"Let me know if it gets worse." he said.

"We may need to see a medic." he told her.

"For now, let's concentrate on getting some proper rest for the night, and making sure we eat." he suggested.

"It's a bit of a journey across the ocean." he said with a light laugh.

"And we don't want to miss the boat."

"I'll let you know." She said.

"Might be nothing more than nerves." She admitted. "Since, I've never been on a boat before."

"But, I'm not sure."

"Ahhh, I see." Adym responded.

"That's... fair enough." he said.

"Anyway, what do you want to eat or drink?" he asked.

"Seems there's a decent variety here, given the menu board we can see." he commented.

"Or you not feeling hungry right now?" he asked her.

Callie was silent for a few minutes, debating the answer to that question.

"I..." She started before pausing, sighing.

"I really should eat, but I'm just not feeling it." She admitted.

"Once we get a room, I'm going to go and just... chill for a bit."
