Lucian stayed silent, observing the moments of the intruders. One of the intruders, most likely the leader, pulled out a huge sword, swinging it over his shoulders menacingly. "Hand over al' yar money and possessions." he demanded, as his gang blocked off the exits and leered at Zoe, "We are ze infamous mountain bandits of ze glorious Dark forces."

Her heart sped up as the leader sauntered into the middle of the room and started making demands. She scoffed at his ridiculous statement. "If that's so then you should know who I am." She slid out of bed and stood up. "I am the Queen's personal attendant, and you demand me to hand over my possessions! I could have you arrested and tried as traitors for harming me."
She made her way over to where her knives rested hoping he wouldn't notice what she had planned. He seems like an idiot, but that doesn't mean his men are... She crossed her arms and spoke as arrogant as possible lacing her words with charm to make her bluff seem more convincing, "As the Queen's attendant, I am the most powerful fighter in the land." She turned her back and picked up her belt of knives. She glanced over her shoulder at them and quirked an eyebrow. "So do you still plan on robbing me?" She slowly drew some knives from the belt preparing to throw them if necessary.
The leader of the bandits took a small step back, taken by surprise. "B-bullshit!" he eventually said, as he glared at Zoe, "Storm ze place!" His men started to wreck the room, while their leader kept Zoe in check. He then noticed the "sack of potatoes" lying on the couch. "What is zhis." he said, as he grabbed "it," holding it a short distance away from his face, "What are yar keepin' in zer?"

She would have attacked when they had started wrecking the place if it wasn't for the fact she was shaking from overuse of magic and exhaustion. She was leaning against the wall for support, complete concentration on keeping Lucian disguised. When the leader went to grab the illusion, she put what little energy left into moving the form into his hands and creating some type of texture.
She heard his question in a very distant part of her mind, "Th-that's my breakfast...I love potatoes..." No charm was woven into her words. Her voice was weaker compared to earlier when she had spoken. "I-i will report you to the Queen!" She tried one last bargain, but unfortunately, it failed. Her illusion fell apart as she slumped against the wall seeing spots drained off all energy and magic.
"HARHARHAR, the best fighter in the kingdom can only do this much? So weak-" Before he could finish his sentence, the leader of the bandits was slammed into the wall, his body now stuck in a huge gaping hole in the concrete. "Silence." Lucian towered over him, his eyes bloody-red and his scythe positioned at the bandit's throat. "We don't need trash like you in the kingdom." Slightly bloody imagery ahead.
Without warning, he sliced off the head of the bandit leader. His gang looked on in horror as the wall became painted in blood, like vines crawling down the dusty surface, pooling at the ground.
Seeing that their leader was defeated, the gang of bandits scattered in panic, their eyes wide in horror.

At his mocking laughter, Zoë had managed to stand up to fight back even if it was a little. It seems Lucian will abandon me here unless I do something... However, she was shocked to see the opposite of what she had assumed would happen. There Lucian stood with his scythe as he beheaded the bandit leader. The others soon scattered in fear for their lives. She sighed as the tension and stress that had built up released from her body.
She looked at Lucian as he wiped off the blood from his summoned scythe. After her bold words earlier, she was ashamed that she couldn't even stop some bandits from robbing her blind. She fell into a deep bow before him, pained at the fact she had to apologize and her lack of action. "I'm sorry my King, for my incompetence in protecting you."
Lucian finished polishing his scythe, swinging it to the side, now a habit of his, as it disappeared from sight. When Zoe bowed in apology before him, he gazed down at her form in silence, his eyes cold and calculating. "Stand up." he commanded, as she did so. "Put this on." He gave her his hood from yesterday, the one that still had some lingering disguise magic on it. "Don't do anything unnecessary. You are out of magic, aren't you." He gazed at her from the corner of his eye, in his Death God form (hooded).

She stood up at hhis command and took the cloak from him. "You plan on leaving now?" She originally would have gone straight to the castle if she didn't have to finish escorting the merchants. Well, if there are any bandits, they've been taken care of now... "Yes...I am." I need to train once more once we get back to the palace. I cannot disappoint the Queen. She put on the cloak and secured it in place pulling the hood over her face triggering the disguise. She gathered up her items and prepared to go. She finally approached him ready to go.
Lucian gave her one final look to check that her disguise was properly in place, before turning around, heading out toward the castle, unnoticed in his Death God form.

OCC: You can quote me and Katja there, not sure if she's in though.
Leon arrived with Sal at the Main Inn, in the Forkana Village. They both took a seat in the tavern area on the first floor, near the shadows so that they won't be seen.
Sal quietly followed the fae into a tavern before walking in she quickly retracted her wings that left two circle spots on the back of her dress. There was not much people around to begin with but she should be careful... she did not know how angels were treated in this day and age. Quietly following behind the fae she was about to sit beside him but stopped herself and quickly sat on the other side of the table. She was feeling nervous for some odd reason but tried too keep smiling.
Sal looked at Leon then at the waiter a bit frazzled as she sat straight and still. She didn't know what to order for she hasn't been there and she did not have money either. "Umm... water?" that was free right? she meekly smiled and then slumped back onto the seat as the waiter left. "Umm... sorry"... she must have looked ridiculous and may have even embarrassed her companion. If only she could hide behind her wings now.... Sal rubbed her arm as she just smiled awkwardly at the table.
"......." When the waiter came back with Leon's order and her water, Leon moved the plates toward her. "...Do you like sweets." he said, his eyes slightly curious.
Sal looked at the dessert and it looked scrumptious but she just picked up the glass of water and took a sip instead. As she was putting the glass down gently she gently spoke. "I do like sweets but you need it more than I do". Which was true since he still looked tired. "May I ask what you were doing at the ruined church?" Sal looked at him curiously.
