Reaching Darromar wasnt a problem, and hiding among the sands was easy enough, but in reaching the port city, it was closed off with guards patrolling the sorroundings, apparently a disease had started spreading inside and citizens were instructed to stay in their homes at all times "I dont like the fact that i cant help them, but at least i'm satisfied with how they are handling this situation."
The guards had orders to distribute food daily, leaving it at the doorstep to prevent further spreading "Still, we will have to find another way to cross the river, id say lets follow it down, if nothing else we will reach Myratma and could use the bridge there."

"Is... is it a plague?" Blossom asked, looking quite concerned. "Who is to say we can't help? Although.. I really don't want to get sick either. Maybe it can't transmit to a fey and.. um. a dragon-angel person?" She smiled, not exactly caring what An'Drye was.

An'Drye considers it for a moment, "I probably could cure one of them, but my power in that sense is still limited, i dont think i can cure an entire city, still, its something." she goes to speak to one of the guards, asking to see one of the patients, the guards seem to trust her and lead her, then An'Drye in fact removes the disease of the patient, apoligizing that she cant do more and promising to get back to help as soon as she can, she waves good bye to the guards back outside of town, "I remember now, i helped these folk when it was being raided by bandits a few years ago, seriously is it the position or just bad luck?" she continues to explain what is going on in the city and some of the travels she had before "Anyway, i asked them to investigate the water system since they still werent sure how the disease was spreading, and to make sure that all guards were healthy every day, i hope they can sort this out themselves, after all, not even i will live forever, and i hope for a world that can in fact sustain itself."

Blossom shrugged. "Well, I guess things just keep happening in the world. With civilization comes greater numbers and almost constant problems... at least you could help one person, I guess!" The pixie did seem happy that An'Drye could help, but somehow not too concerned for the plights of the cityfolk. Just wasn't any point dwelling on it, she supposed...
"A world that can sustain itself is idea. I believe that's its natural state, even. These cities on the other hand.. I don't know.." It was probably the first time Blossom ever seemed that preachy. "So, to Myratma? I can fly across the river, but I guess you'll need a bridge or a boat until you can fly too."

An'Drye seems happy to help as well, but decides to quickly resume the trip towards memnon, which now wasnt so distant anymore "The city we are going isnt so far now, but we still should hurry up, if the guys up there commanded me to go there, then i really shouldn't be too late." the duo continues to follow along the river.

The pair make it to Myratma by following the river without much of any problems. But then as they go to cross the bridge they are stopped by a pair of guards. "Halt! If you wish to cross this bridge, first you must pay a toll!" Blossom looks to the guards with a somewhat strange look, then looks over to An'Drye. "Well, um, I guess I could just fly across the river..."Sorry I'm so late on this. Hopefully this is some plot for you?

An'Drye looks at the guards with a reprimending look "Boys, i know its been a while but have you really forgotten about aunt Annie? I believe i taught you not to expect gain without effort." adopting a kind of mathernal personality she had clearly seen past the guards plot to get extra money from the bridge crossing.

"Aunt Annie? Who in the blazes is that?" one young guard says to the other, who looks like perhaps he's from another region. "Now look here, Lass," he starts, sounding kind of like a Dwarf. "This here bridge took plenty o effort to build an maintain, and we're here ta keep an eye on tha comings and goings o this town, lest unsavory folk waltz right in." He looks over to Blossom a bit wondering if she's one of those people he just talked about before continuing, "Now it'll be three silver for ye, and I suppose yer friend can go for free if she really can fly across the river..." I'm thinking maybe a commanding officer can see you and recognize you and come on over if you want to RP that... OR... you can just cough up 3 silver. But it's a vignette so no real charge. Ironically just making one post gets you 50 gold anyway. >.>

An'Drye looks amused at the guards, so theyre from elsewhere, no wonder they didnt recognize her "Looking out for unsavory people, is that what you tell yourselves to sleep at night? How can you tell the difference if you just let pass anybody that pays you?"
She lets out a sigh, looking at the thin and hungry men in front of her "But well, i suppose these are tough times for most people, here have a gold piece each, you clearly need them more than i do, just try getting money by honest means next time, im sure ehlona would understand if you decided to fish or hunt for food." she finishes, glowing with her aura of peace and understanding.

The guard rolls his eyes. "I dun know what yer on about, what with na making money by honest means and na sleepin' well. This is our post, and the toll goes to maintainin' tha bridge and payin' guards' wages." It really does! Feel free to take it up with the mayor or lords who run the town The other guard speaks up, "Hey, who says we just let anyone pass? I bet I know a seedy looking bloke when I see one! So what are you anyway? Some kind of angel and some forest fairy? What's your business together anyway?" Blossom looks back and forth at the arguing and says, "Annie, maybe we should just go and stop bothering them? Seems maybe it's their job to judge others but we shouldn't judge them..."

An'Drye rolls her eyes and moves on, not so much bothered by the guards but by the city's organization in general "I already paid them anyway, sorry Blossom, sometimes i forget that there are cities with such a bad organization that they need to resort to this, its really been a while since i have been charged for walking."
A bit later An'Drye chuckles faintly, "I guess im also not used to being treated like that, this aura of mine pretty much tells everyone around me im an agent of good, id often think that the only down side of it would be becoming an easy target for evil beings, but i now realize that ive gotten used to pleasant and respectful conversations, i really should apologize to those guards for my behaviour next time im around."
