She met him through the traveling merchant Gaud whom she had came to know ever since she had the questionable fortune of buying a solar sect book off him. The man had approached her seeking help with the protection of his caravan that was threatened to be stolen. Since he needed his mercenaries around him to protect him from some high risk mission of his own, he had been looking for a capable mage to help him. In the end, the man had asked around and found her through Gaud who told him off some exceptional mage that had helped him with some shady transactions the other day. She wondered if the either of them even knew she was a Rune Knight.
Surely, she didn’t put the proud symbol out on display all the time and Eva realized while she was talking pleasantly with the merchant that they truly don’t have a clue that she was a Seated Knight. But that all worked fine for her and while they were engaged in a bit of shady dealings, the two were generally good natured people trying to make a living, which suited fine for her.
Now she was there in the middle of the night in what is known as Era’s famous caravan parking space and she had nothing else to stare at besides caravans for hours. Honestly enough, it was starting to bore her which, in the end, led her to take a walk around the area. It was big enough, from what she heard, to fit about fifty caravans at a time and boasted of its large area that sprawled across the land. Eva couldn’t care less, of course since the big space meant nothing to her if she was just going to sit there in front of Augustus’ caravan and do nothing.
She spun around, slowly humming a tune and dancing to it. It was night and the pale moonlight cast a glimmering glow around her. The cold wind and the gentle caress of some owl’s cooing was making her want to dance into the peaceful night. She rarely got such time to herself so while it may bore her, she decided to make the best use of it by swinging her legs around, spinning and rounding the large space, but never letting the caravan in question out of sight. As playful as she felt that night, Eva also knew that she had a mission to be bothered about first. Thus the night slowly rolled on with Eva’s graceful steps and humming of an old song.
