The Striders were worn by the time they approached the gates of the DarkSoul City; the castle loomed, glowing, out of the darkness, and the walls of the city glowed slightly as well.
"This is the DarkSoul city," Elexa said, halting her Strider. "The capital of Nerezza and site of the Queen's Castle."

She slowed her Strider down to a trot, making it go in circles around Elexa.
"This is fun, I oughta do this more often!"

Elexa smiled. "I wish I had a chance to do it more often..."
She dismounted. "We'll let them go, now - they know the way home." She patted the bird.

She dismounted the Strider, smiling but forgetting the distance to the ground.
"Woah, oof!"
She fell off the Strider landing on her back on the ground and knocking the breath out of her lungs.

Elexa held out a hand to help Faey up. "Watch your step. That's the one problem with riding any kind of mount; they're usually high up."

She laughed and accpeted her hand, getting to her feet and struggling to reach her back to dust herself off.
"That hurt, but even I have to admit it was kinda funny..."

She smiled. "I guess it was... come on, it's this way!"
She seemed quite excited about something and, putting her hood up, led the way down the large main street, entering the maze that was the DarkSoul City.

She laughed and winced a bit, her back still hurting, and followed Elexa into the city.

Elexa led her through a maze of streets, but it was evident to Faey that they always travelled toward the castle. At one point, Elexa accidentally bumped into a young boy, and her hood fell off. She looked down at him in surprise. He looked up, and his eyes widened. Hastily, he bowed, then ran off. She put her hood back on.
"COme on, Faey, not much farther!"
And they continued walking.

She noticed the boy bowing an the castle, which they seemed to be headed towards. Hm... This is all gonna add up to something, isn't it?
"Hey, Elexa, you don't happen to be royalty or something like that, are you?"

She looked at Faey.
"Me?" She grinned. "What makes you think that?"
And she turned around and kept on moving, straight back towards the long main street, which took them straight to the gates of the castle. It seemed to be open and welcome, although a little creepy. Elexa led them straight over the drawbridge.
When the guards saw her, they stepped forward.
"Who are you?!" they asked, stern-faced.
"Please... I come only to petition the Court," she said, her voice slightly different than before - younger, more innocent.
"The Court?" the Guards asked.
"Yes, the Court... the Midnight Court."
They relaxed. "We shall open the gate."
And the large, wooden doors swung open. Elexa motioned Faey inside.

Okay, now I'm getting confused...
"Whats the Midnight Court?"

"Oh, I love the midnight court" A voice echoed. "It is the place where Vampires and Dhampir gathers." A man with his cloak over his head. "So, who is this?"

Elexa smiled. "Ludro... just the man I wanted to see." She pushed back her hood. "Ludro, this is Faeylinn... one of the Heroes. Faeylinn, this is Ludro Gamblington, one of the two Captains of Nerezza and a personal friend." Her purple eyes were laughing, and there was something different about her tone of voice.

She nodded at him cautiously. A captain of Nerezza? As in; under the Sumatas?!? Why did she feel the need to mention I'm a hero, I'm barely one anyway... Wait, vampire and dhampir? that could be interesting...
"It's nice to meet you Ludro. Why exactly are we going to the Midnight Court?"
Her voice held suspicion and a bit of distrust for the woman she'd considered her friend.
