The old courtesan closed her eyes remembering her home on the Emerald Isle spoke in gaelic, "Aimsir Bean an tí Éire." She moved over to the shade of the cliff to get out of the rays of suns. Her fair skin was prone to sunburn a lot which is one of the reasons she preferred working in the late afternoon and evening hours. "I'll be heading back into the city soon. The suns beating down on me like this makes me a bit uncomfortable and I could use a strong drink at the Neverending Story tavern."

"I will join you," Willow walked over to Madame Mabel, "Irzen, mayhap you would like to join us? A drink would take your mind off of Ethelion's treachery."

"Yeah! Sure, why not," Irzen replied in a distracted tone of voice.

Madame Mabel whistled to her daughter, "Seri, Aimsir!"

From the alcove, Seri popped into view, "Okay, mum! We're headed back into the city too."

"Caliaphy are you staying 'ere with Serna? Or coming back with us?" Madame Mabel glanced over to the kurori.

"Don't know, let me ask her, Serna want to stay here or go with them?" Caliaphy brushed the sand off herself.

"What would you like to do, Caliaphy?" Serna smiled, "I'm willing to go with them or stay here. It makes no difference to me as long as we can hang out together."

Caliaphy sat up finally now covered in sand, "I'd like to go but the normal people don't really like us kurori much. They say we're nothing but trouble, which is true. I'll just turn into the fairy again and not cause too much trouble."

"Okay," Serna smiled, "Then I guess we'll be going into the city with you, Madame Mabel."

"Right then, I'll wait for Seri and the boy to get here and dry off." The old courtesan remained in the shade of the cliffs. "Everyone's dry we'll head back to the city for a bite to eat and a hearty drink."

"Sounds like a winner to me," Irzen heard a rumble from his stomach, "Besides, I'm getting hungry again."

The teenager walked past Serna and Caliaphy and grabbed her clothes to dry off a bit, "Great swim with some great people and good times. Right Neven?"

"I agree," Neven gathered his own clothing and began to dry off as well.

Serna walked over to Willow and took his hand, "Care to walk with us, Willow?"

"It would be a pleasure," The Ranger replied to The Shield Maiden's request.

Madame Mabel looked over at the kurori, "Caliaphy, could you teleport us up top?"

"You mean cliff tops outside the gate to the Mages guild?" Caliaphy countered with her own question.

"That would be fine, little one."

"Sure. That I can do and I'll have a little magic left to change into a fairy before we head back into the city." The kurori got up and brushed off the sand, "Everyone needs to hold hands. Its so much easier to do it that way."

Seri got dressed fairly quickly and took one of Caliaphy's hands and waited for Neven to join them.

Neven joined them quickly and took both Seri's hand and Madame Mabel's hand. Serna took Caliaphy's hand while Willow took Irzen's hand who in turn took Neven's hand.

"I think we are ready to go, Caliaphy," Willow turned to the Kurori, "Whenever you're ready."
