*A lone figure walks up to the deserted shell of a once great place for all travelers. The sign hangs ragged yet it still hangs. With a fluid motion, the young man slips inside the doors and stands in the center of the lobby.*
"Once upon a time..."
*The traveler's body begins to illuminate a soft blue accent and magic pours from his veins as it fills the entire building. Cracked floorboards begin to mend, the tattered sign becomes whole, and the entire place looks as if it had just finished construction.*
"Once upon a time a lost soul found a place to stay and now I have returned. Hopefully some old and new friends will once again join me again to start unbelievable adventures."
*Vyn Fyre strides over to the kitchen and begins preparing for any visitors that might stop by and need something for refreshment.*

Unknown walks into the recently repaired house, and heard sounds coming from the kitchen, he slipped into some shadows and watched as someone made a meal, it seemed to large for the lone man, so Unknown guessed that he was expecting someone.
Having watched the man for some time, Unknown guesses that he doesn't exactly know who might be coming, or when. Or that he might have even been waiting for Unknown himself! He instantly thought against that, how would he have known that he was coming?
After a little bit more watching, Unknown could see that this man was friendly, at least until someone popped out of the shadows, that is.
After thinking it over, Unknown comes out of the shadows, and walks into the kitchen.
"Hello! Are you expecting someone?"

*As the voice enters Vyn's ears, he turns his head slightly to see who it might be then turns back.*
"I was expecting you, although I'm not sure who you are," Vyn laughs as he continues to talk, "I was expecting anyone who happened to venture into these forgotten woods and stride into this little town that is no longer on any maps save for a few. I also expect that you would enjoy a hot meal after traveling through the Woods of Glory, since it is a long walk and tiring to many." Vyn sticks a pot onto the hotplate. "Welcome to the Parlor of Glory in the town of Melanie, this was once a great post for many travelers. I once belonged to a group that helped me out a great bit, however we grew distant and after I returned to my own time, many of them have yet to be heard from again. But who wants to hear me complain? The food will be ready in about an hour, I wasn't, however, expecting anyone to come so soon, it is a simple stew but I am sure that you will enjoy it and I hope that you will stay. If you want you can stay here with me and help get this place return to its former glory, no pun intended."
*Vyn stirs the stew a few times and adds some seasoning. Then walks towards the direction of the man and stops as he surveys the darkness.*
"I see you like your privacy, you can have the farthest room on the left upstairs, it doesn't have a lantern in it because I ran out of supplies but I'm sure you don't want one, right?" Vyn tosses the key to the stranger as he asks, "By the way, What's your name?"

Unknown was shocked at how trusting this man was, he could have easily slipped a knife into his back. The man seemed so friendly, that Unknown almost told him his name.
"I call myself Unknown, I would like to have a rest, the Woods of Glory were quite a bit too bright for me. Can you tell me when the stew is ready?"
Without waiting for an answer, Unknown walked up the stairs, unlocked his room, and laid in the bed, facing towards the door. He remained alert for awhile, because, although the man seemed trustworthy, he wasn't about to take any chances, not when he was so close to his goal...

*Distraught that no one had come in the time that he had waited save for a lone soul, Vyn began to ascend the staircase to the second floor. Many things had happened over time and too much of Vyn's surprise he felt almost unnerved by it all.
After his own world had been lost in the river time to protect it from impending danger. Vyn had felt an overwhelming sense of loneliness, he hadn't felt this alone since he had first appeared in this past world and didn't know anything about it. But know he has several lifetimes of wisdom and heartache. The last kiss he shared with the love of his life lasted a lifetime, but he felt that it wasn't long enough. How could someone not restricted by the restraints of time feel as if he never had enough of it?
By this time Vyn had reached the end of the hallway and knocked on Unknown's door. "The stew is ready, my friend." He called through the door and then began to turn back towards the entrance to the lower level. Of all that had happened... why did he have to understand it? Why couldn't he just be as naive as he was before he blew those candles out...*

Unknown heard a knock on the door, and the man said that the soup was ready, Unknown slowly got up, and went downstairs.
He saw the man getting bowls out, he looked sad, but that wasn't for Unknown to know.
"What's your name?" He asked. While he waited for a reply, Unknown looked around the room, finding all the darkest spots, so that he could quickly hide, if he needed too. The man obviously hadn't heard him, so he asked again, "What's your name?"

The court-like tune which often plays in Ignac's head as he travels is brought to a halt by a birds squall.
*Ignac's eyes dart up into the thick branches overhead. Ignac glances over his shoulder and slowly scansthe deep wood. *
"Something isn't right about this place."
*Ignac lowers his attention down towards his feet. *
When his instincts fail him, his boots do not. They look common, worn yet still sturdy. These boots are far from common.
*Ignac reaches into his cloak and withdraws a map.*
Ignac has been trying to mark his whereabouts for several days. Ignac had planned to travel through the forest in a mere 3 days but had been wandering far from his path for almost two weeks. He is lost.
*Ignac looks over the map as he walks and traces over the mountain and back to the swamp where he acquired the map with his finger*
*Ignac folds the worn cloth map back into his cloak, and notices another clearing ahead.*
There are many like it here, it seems.
*Ignac approaches the edge of the clearing and sees something unexpected.*
A small town is in the distance.
*Ignac breaks into a run. The weight of his heavy backpack shifts with each step. Something jabbs into his back but Ignac ignores it until he reaches a cluster of buildings.*
"Someone here must be able to point me back towards my path"
*Ignac immediately heads towards the largest of the building which stands out not because of its size but because it looks brand new.*
*Ignac peeres through a window near what looks to be the main door. He sees two figures inside.*
Normally more cautious, he is too surprised and curious to consider his options.
*Ignac raises his gloved fist to the door and bangs twice.*

*Vyn looks up with a start as Unknown's question enters his mind. He wonders why he hadn't before told him his name so he looks up and as he is about to say he is interrupted by another noise that disrupts his thoughts.
A man is standing at the window closest to the entrance and had tapped the upper panel. Vyn's heart was leaping as he motions for the man to come in. Perhaps there was hope for a new adventure after all.
As he walks over to the front of the building to open the door for the stranger, he looks behind his shoulder and answers the question of the man in the shadows. "Vynce Fyre is my name but you can just call me Vyn, and if you don't tell me your name soon, I'm going to make one up for you." Vyn reaches for the handle to open the door and wait for the traveler to enter.*

Unknown looked at the figure standing outside, wondering if he should hide, or stay out in the open. Before he could decide what to do, the man was moving to open the door. Unknown decided it would be safer to hide. Just before he melted into the shadows, the man looked back and said, "Vynce Fyre is my name but you can just call me Vyn, and if you don't tell me your name soon, I'm going to make one up for you."
Unknown didn't like the idea of having Vynce Fyre make up a name for him, so, in the shadows he looked safely at what was happening, while thinking up a fake name for himself.

*Ignac enters the doorway*
Immediately, a delicous smell overwhelms his senses. Ignac hadn't eaten a hot meal since he caught a rabbit days ago. Ignac knew how to survive with food from the wilderness but the smell of perfectly mixed spices made him feel starving.
"Smells like something good is cooking"
More then ready to have his pack off, Ignac undoes a few straps, swings to the side, and lets it fall to the floor. Ignac pulls off his right glove and extends his hand.
"Hi, the names Ignac"

*Vyn watches as the stranger comes in and takes his pack off, smiling when he heard him say "Smells like something good is cooking." As the traveler is introducing himself as Ignac, Vyn is getting another bowl from the kitchen to set at a small table he had made ready for him and Unknown.
"My name is Vyn, its nice to meet you, if you don't mind me asking, where do you come from?"
Vyn sits down and asks them both to join him. He gives an encouraging look to Unknown which basically said "It's okay he's won't bite you."
Vyn used a large wooden sthingy to scoop some soup out for the himself and the other two and then waited for them to join him as he said a prayer.*

Unknown was watch from the shadows, when Vyn looked to where he was with a face that said, "It's ok, he won't bite you."
This new person, Ignac, didn't seem untrustworthy. But those were the ones you had to look out for.
Unknown watched as Vyn sat down and said a prayer. Unknown joined him and said his own prayer. Then attacked the stew.

*Ignac pauses a moment to think before answering*
"I come from Everdread Swamp in the west. My home is across a great ocean in the city of Seavale."
As Ignac replied, he noticed a fellow he didn't see before.
*Ignac follows him to the table and begins to eat.*
As he chews he decides what his first question will be. Ignac realizes that his bowl is nearly empty despite the generous portion he relieved.
*Ignac picks up his bowl and slurps down the broth.*
"What is this place?"
Ignac reaches up to wipe some broth from the side of his mouth and decides it would be ok to explain his question.
"I have been traveling all my life. My map doesn't have this town on it anywhere near the forest. I was expecting to travel southeast towards a vast desert but I became lost which shouldn't even be possible."
*Ignac wiggles his toes in his boots, still curious how they failed to help him find his way to the desert.*
*Ignac eyes his empty bowl and looked over towards the kitchen hoping there was more to eat.*

Unknown finished his stew long before Ignac and Vyn, and he sat, wondering what he should do while he waited for the other two to finish. He had a lot of questions to ask Vyn, and he wasn't leaving until he was answered.
Ignac had said that he came from Everdread Swamp, Unknown himself had passed that way, searching for something that would help in his revenge...
Unknown looked at Ignac, who was looking at his bowl, then at the kitchen, Unknown figured that he was still hungry. But he would let Vyn take care of that, he still needed that fake name...

*As Unknown and Ignac joins him at the table Vyn starts eating his soup as he listens to Ignac talk. His mouth is full as he sees the other two finish so he is unable to tell them to help themselves, but when he swallows the remnants of spices and vegetables he says, "If you would like some more, you don't need to gain my permission.
"This is called the Parlor of Glory, it is an old parlor thats been around for decades, it might look brand new though, but thats thanks to my... um... carpentry skills."
Vyn had some more of his stew and then said, "It's not on a map because when an adventure starts here, it finds the travelers, the travelers don't find it. That might explain why you were brought here."*
