Callista, having never been here before, remained mounted upon her black stallion, ready to flee from any sudden attacks. She had only heard that this place is where the rebels go, but she had to make sure what was really here. She was ready to establish her own guild, but she needed to round up some people who wanted to be part of it first. She had to make sure that there would be people wanting to serve her fight for freedom.
She was certain the authorities would have a problem with her guild, so she had to keep it away from public knowledge. If she could just find a way, she'd be good to go.
She wore a black cloak which covered her face as well as the rest of her body, which also flowed really well with her black dress. She lead her stallion through the entrance to this old place, keeping her eyes wide open and alert as she looked around, surprised at the number of people here.

Her exploration and wandering has led Sakura to the Ruins Of Aesir. It was a rather interesting place. Though whatever it was now lay in ruins, there was some sort of interesting beautiful of it. She studied the pieces that still stood and got out a sketch pad and pencil. She examined and began to draw what she was seeing. What an excellent place of inspiration! She thought.
Sakura had a feeling she was not alone, but she didn't see anyone. Perhaps other people hang out here, but the area she was standing she was by herself.....for the moment.
"Is anyone there?" she called out. That was stupid! What if some maniac killer lives here?
Sakura remained on guard. Perhaps yelling out 'is anyone there?' is not the brightest idea yet, however, she is a rather curious girl. With no answer, she began to sketch more of the ruins.

She jumped at the sudden sound, stopping in her tracks. Callista turned around, Lupercus following her, and headed back out to where she heard the voice. When she walked around the last corner, she placed her hood further up so that her face was shadowed, and walked out to the girl with her sketch pad out.
She really had no intention of startling her, but the girl seemed very... concentrated... on her drawing. "Hello?" Callista greeted once she was just a few feet away, her large horse calmly standing behind her.

As Sakura concentrated on her drawing, she heard a noise. Then a voice, it sounded female, said "Hello?"
Sakura jumped and gasped, quickly turning her head. There she saw a woman in front of a horse. Her face was hidden by a hooded cloak.
"Uh...hi...." she responded. "What are you doing here?"
She'll probably ask you the same thing! I mean, what am I doing here?

(ooc: lol she isnt on her horse. she is walking infront of the horse, and he's following her)
"That depends on who's asking..." Callista responded, obviously not trusting anyone who crosses her path, or rather, whoever's path she crosses. "Nothing all that interesting, anyway. What are you drawing a picture of this place for?" she slowly stepped a little closer, wanting to see the progress she made, pulling her hood back so her face could be seen a little bit.

[OOC: Ack! Sorry. Fixed! ^_^ ]
"Something about ruins is beautiful to me..." she replied. Probably an odd answer, but it was true. The idea of a history lost or forgotten, or perhaps even if you knew what happened, the thought of what was once there, and what was lost to cause the place to be in such wreck. Sakura often likes to imagine what a place looked like before it's destruction. What did it felt for the people when it had crumbled? Or was it just abandoned and time tore it to pieces?

Callista raised an eyebrow at this, but didn't question it. She slid the hood of her cloak back so that her face was no longer shadowed, "When you're done sketching, want to walk through the ruins with us?" she asked, looking her in the eye as she spoke. "Oh, and my name is Callista, by the way." she told her, hoping she'd retrieve a name in return.

"My drawing in almost finished. I wouldn't mind walking through the ruins with you" she said with a closed-eyes smile. "Oh, and my name is Sakura Torisha, daughter of Akinori and Chihiro"
With the pencil, she examined the ruins carefully. So much about these old blocks tell a story. What happened here? she wondered. I'd love to study the history of these ruins!
About 20 minutes passed before her drawing was finished. She had to make every detail close to perfect - shading, shadows, shapes, everything!
"I am finished with my drawing now," she said, standing up. "Now I can go on a walk with you through the ruins. I can already tell there is lots to see" she said this with a closed-eyes smile.
"I'm glad to have met you, Callista" she said this with a bow.
Perhaps this could be the start of a friendship! Maybe, somehow, we'll become allies!

"You too." she bowed at the same time as Sakura did. Callista grinned, Wow, she's really good at drawing. she thought to herself as she saw the finished work. "Excellent, then let's get going, shall we?"
She lead the way, walking with her horse beside them. "I've never been here before," she said, just for conversation's sake. "but it does look very interesting." then she added in a horror-movie narrating voice, "Maybe we'll find somebody inside." she laughed at the idea, but then again, it was possible that somebody else was here too.

Sakura laughed at what Callista said. "Yeah, maybe"
But I sure hope we don't.... she thought. This place is the perfect hideout for creeps
"It's okay if you don't know the way," said Sakura. "Because I've never been here either, so....I understand"
Sakura analyzed every piece of ruin they passed through. The aging concrete and cobblestone, it has a story to tell. Maybe one day, Sakura could study it's history, like some sort of scholar.
"So, Callista, what brings you here anyway?" she asked, trying to make conversation. "I'm here for inspiration. It helps me think, places like these"
Yes, it does, a place of deep thought. Especially when looking back at her most cherished memories, especially of Akiyo.
