Celalil cleared her throat and began in a clear voice, "It is very nice to be meeting all of you for this Grand and Grave adventure. My name is Cel'alil'ar'avel Elianaranea, Priestess of the Tree of Life and daughter of Bael'ae'aro Elianaranea High Priest of the Tree of Life and Adventurer against Evil with the party known as 'Company of the Blessed Spear'. To the right of me is my sister and twin El'isi'el'Syl'avel Elianaranea Warlock of Fire and Air and the daughter of Bael'ae'aro Elianaranea High Priest of the Tree of Life and Adventurer against Evil with the party known as 'Company of the Blessed Spear. And then, to the Left of me is, Lorchier of the Veilheill Forest and most trusted and loyal friend of the Elianaranea family. You may call my sister and I by our simple names which are Celalil and Elisiel."
Celalil did not shake hands, for that was not her preferred way of first impressions, she and her sister just bowed slightlyto each individual person during their portion of Celalil's introduction.
She was surprised at the fact that she was feeling a little nervous.

One of the group (a tall southern human male) stood forward and bowed at the waist gracefully till his head nearly touched the ground. He had average looking features for a human, though he had an unusually pleasant, auburn hair coloring with matching vandyk style beard. He was athletically muscular, had golden brown skin and piercing blue eyes that sparkled in the sun. Upon rising he began to introduce the retainers and henchman that were to work for and accompany the twins and Lorchier on their quest. He spoke not in the southern human dialect but, in high elven. His accent was noticeable but, his grammar was impeccable and enunciations almost flawless.
"Dear ladies Cel'alil'ar'avel and El'isi'el'Syl'avel of the Elianaranea clan, please let me introduce your humble and faithful servants. The smallish man to my left is none other then Tang-zu the wandering monk of Light. He hails from the exotic Eastern Territories and wishes to continue his good works here in the South." The monk was an ugly man by elven standards though probably only minor disfigured in their own eyes. He was indeed short, perhaps five seven, but he was also stocky and muscular not unlike a dwarf though the dark haired man was beardless. He was dressed in a simple corded brown robe as was common to monks the world over.
"To his left is Tull the Oath Keeper. This young, tall-fellow halfling is a local hero in Garrotten. His deeds are many and his cooking is famous. Master Tull will be our teamster for the journey as he has provided a four person cart with work horse." Tull bowed to the ladies with a great grin upon his face.
"To my far right," the man continued, "is Silavente Miiattee the magnificent. A high elfin lady such as yourselves she hails from the Miiattee clan far to the north. She was a professional knife thrower for an acting troop, but they were waylaid by bandits and she is down on her luck. High Priest Bael'ae'aro Elianaranea found it in his kind hart to employ her for this quest." The elf bowed low before the twins and didn't make eye contact, obviously ashamed of her plight.
"Just behind me there is Mandrid the Torch Bearer. He comes highly recommended, and Milisha Purebreeze my squire." Mandrid was a nondescript human man and Milisha was yet another high elven woman with blond locks and blue eyes as was so common among their kind.
"I am Lord Alex Gold, Paladin of the Realm of Timiro and Knight of the Order of the People. We are at your service."

Celalil bowed once again, just to finalize the introduction and restated, "As I prevously stated, it is very, very nice to meet all of you. As you very well know we have a dangerous journey ahead of us and I would hope that we shall leave as prepared as possible. Your help in this is Greatly appreciated and we hope to show you that more in the days to come. Shall we be help to each other." She paused for a moment before finally saying, "I would think we should be starting as soon as possible, let us discuss when to leave."
Elisiel then through in, "Yes, I agree with my sister, it is nice to meet all of you and I am extremely excited to get to know each and every one of you as well. But first lets get the situation situated, shall we?" She flashed a smile to try to help break any ice that comes with such formalities.
Celalil had a tendency to be a little bit too formal until she got to know someone and Elisiel knew all too well how that could make everone else feel inferior.

The Paladin Alex flashed a grin. "We have been waiting for you to arrive. We are as ready as ever. Do you need to rest yourselves or your mounts? A bite to eat perhaps? Eating in the saddle is so uncivilized."

Elisiel was the first one to answer here, "Oh goodness. Thank you for mentioning food. A bite to eat sounds lovely and a perfect way for all of us to get a little more comfortable with each other before leaving, sister?" She looked at her sister, and while waiting for a reply, noticed that Celalil's cheecks had a small pink tinge to them. Elisiel had full intention to ask her about that.
Celalil just simply stated, "Oh, yes. A bite to eat sounds nice." She felt her cheeks flush a little, was she really that tired already? She didn't feel exhausted or famished. She hoped no one would notice. It couldn't possibly be the people, she was not unused to being around people. Then she stated, "A little rest, too, would be nice. Let us go eat and enjoy ourselves for the time being."

"Well then, follow me to the Inn." Alex replied.
The whole group sat at the Inn for a good meal before the long journey. Lorchier payed for the whole thing to everyones delight. He was fast making friends with Tull, Milisha and Mandrid with tales of adventures past. Elisiel noted that while her father was mentioned his roles seemed either diminished or maybe just skipped over. They were Lorchier's stories however so who was she to contradict him. Especially since she herself had not been there to know what truly happened. She also noticed that Alex seemed far more interested in the twins then Lorchier's story telling.
"So, I understand the two of you are twins." He commented after a finishing a bite of duck (a specialty of the Inn), "Quite rare isn't it?" He seemed to be asking both women at once as he made eye contact with both of them, not lingering overmuch on either for to long.

Celalil was the one to answer this question first, due to the fact that this was something that really hit home to her being that she is the one so close to her father, "Ummm, well, yes. We are twins, exactly 1 and half minutes apart in age. We have never known our mother because of it, though. She died due to complications during our birth. As you probably know most elves have trouble having one, let alone two at the same time." She gave a sad smile at the fact and continued with, "It has been, and still is, very nice to have a sister, though. I would not trade anything for the relationship I have with both her and my father. The Goddess has her reasons and I do not question." She gave a serene smile at that and then took her last bite of food as a way to let Elisiel know she was done with the subject.
Elisiel spoke at this point, "Yes, I agree. But I do wish we could have had Mother, even if just for a little while. Do you have any siblings Lord Alex? What of your family?" She smiled, but just a little.

Lord Alex Gold smiled as if she had asked just the right question. "Well I'm a Minor land owner and from an old, respected military family with a history and long line of knights and warriors. It was natural that I become a knight. I was honored when the king dubbed me a Paladin f Timiro. I've been a Paladin for the Timiro Kingdom for two years now. My squire Milisha and I came to Garrotten in search of adventurers who would aid us in our quest against an ogre king, yet when I heard of your families dire need I offered our services. I helped recruit the others with Lorchier."

"Thank you for taking time away from your quest to aid us in ours. But please, tell us of your problem or 'quest' with the Ogre king. It sounds intrigueing." Celalil said, "If we survive the quest we are about to go on, My sister and I can aide you? As to show our appreciation."
Elisiel just listened. She was actually quite interested in what Lord Alex had to say, she, for one, thought it was funny that her sister was already throwing herself into another adventure, when they hadn't really started the first.

"Ah well, you may have heard that the Ogres have been building an army recently. Timiro may come under attack sometime soon. I wish to avoid a war by defeating the Ogre king responsible for uniting the tribes. Without him the tribes will fall apart and war with eachother instead of us. A noble cause to be sure."

Both the sisters nodded at this. "Definitely a noble cause." Celalil said.
"Yes, most definitely, I agree with Celalil. I believe we should help, if we servive this, of course. A sure fire way to show our appreciation and help the people and creatures of this kingdom."

Celalil nodded once more and then smiled and Then looked over to Lorchier and stated, "Thank you Lorchier for this wonderful meal." The she nodded to her sister and Lord Alex, "I don't know about you sir, or you dear sister, but I shall retire. We have a long journey ahead of us." She stood up and stated to everyone seated, " Thank you everone for a wonderful evening, once again, it was wonderful to meet you all and now I shall retire, for tomorrow we will be moving on as soon as possible and I shall pray for a safe and absolute journey."

The group bid goodnight to the priestess. Lord Alex stood as she did. "The help with my quest would be much appreciated, thank you and goodnight."

Elisiel then stood up and nodded to her sister, "Dear sister, do you mind if I pray with you for a safe and accomplished journey?" Then she looked to the group and said, " Yes, dear Lorchier, thank you for this wonderful meal, and to everyone else, once again I really enjoyed this evening as well as hopefully many others. Good Night."
Celalil had already bid good night to everyone and was heading away when Elisiel joined her and she said, "Yes Elisiel, I would love to have you pray with me. May the Goddess answer our prayers. But after, I am afraid I am feeling very tired and I would wish to go straight to sleep, if that is alright."
"Oh yes, sister, I do not wish to be a bother, I agree with you, we have a long journey ahead of us and a good nights rest is in order." Elisiel answered her sister.
The Twins headed into Celalil's room.

The sisters prayed the night away. It was a nice bonding time for the two women as it brought back old times. Hours later they talked until they fell asleep.
The next day everyone was busy with the hustle and bustle of preparing for the journey. Lorchier haggled with the Inn keeper over prices for foodstuffs while Tang-Zu helped Tull pack it into his cart and strapped it down for travel. All the while the halfling muttered that the group could get better prices at his uncles shoppe, but Lorchier wouldn't listen.
ooc: there is more in a second post on the next page.
