"So, he doesn't remember anything about his past life?"
"No. nothing"
"Do you even know his name?"
"no. he says even that was lost in the arena"
"the poor thing. will he ever remember any of it?"
"Unless a miracle happens, then no"
As Blair and Knight's voices wake you, you turn over on your mat, slightly disgruntled. "You know, I can hear everything you're saying" you say, alerting the two of them to your presence in the room.
Blair jumped, while Knight just nods, acknowledging that you're awake. "Sorry Thorne" Blair said, a tinge of guilt in her voice, "I though you were asleep"
"It's ok" you grumble, "I'm used to it"
Knight simply nods as he stands up. "We should get to the top deck. the boat is possibly close to the port by now" this was followed by a slight commotion above them, followed by water flowing down the steps. Knight sighed, "Arthur" he muttered as the three of you head for the deck, finding Arthur dripping wet and Emily trying to hold back her laughter. "What happened up here?" Knight asked, smirking at Arthur's state
out of the two of them, Arthur was the first to speak. "I ... er... was trying to practice my magic"

"Maybe" said Knight, "but the capitol is a three day ride from here, and that includes us resting"
you speak up. "also we don't know exactly what's out there"
Blair then speaks up. "well why don't we see what's out there?" all of you look at her with a look. "what i'm saying is there's a forest outside of here. we could explore there and see what we have to deal with out in the wilderness"
Arthur this time voiced his opinion. "What if it's something that could easily overpower us?"
"Well" Blair said, "That's a risk that we'll have to take.
"Ok" Knight said, after hearing out all of these ideas, "I think we should go for..."
