Khalida was trotting up the mountain on Kuchi when she came across the end of a trail. One she hadn't seen before. "Odd", she said outloud... to no one in particular. "Didn't know this was here".
Cautiously she looked down it... it was covered in mist... with an eerie feel to it. Khalida didn't mind eerie... but this didn't feel right.
She was about to investigate when...

Out of the mist stepped a figure, which saw her, then turned back into the mistand started to walk.

Khalida saw the figure look at her... then turn around. "Even more odd", she thought outloud. She nudged Kuchi to a walk, and followed. "Hey..." she called out. "Wait up". Kuchi broke into a trot and she started to gain on them. "Who are you?"

The person seemed indistinguishable from the fog, only able to be followed by the disturbances left behind. suddenly, his trail stopped, and the area was completely surroundd by fog.

Khalida kept Kuchi moving towards him. She stopped a few paces away from him. "I asked you who you are", she said boldly. "Now speak thy name". Khalida didn't like the looks of this. She rested her hand on Atlantis' hilt. Just incase... she thought. Just incase this turns wrong

Suddenly, William dropped from among the trees abovem landing on the horse behind Khalida, pulling her sword and backflipping off, embedding it hilt deep in a huge rock. "I do not take kindly to threats, milady. as I am Unjarmed, I should hope you will live without your sword for a time." he said, pointing to a multitude of bladed weapons buried in the stone.

Khalida smirked and held out a hand. Atlantis moved about and suddenly flew into her hand. "Atlantis and I can not be parted... it is the magic of the blade that binds me to it.. and it to me", she said returning it to it;s sheath. "And it was only a precaution. Now... what is thy name?"

"My name is something know to me, and not to thee, until thou doth lay down thine weapon, as I have mine.

Khalida untied the the strings that kept the sheath attached to her belt. With some hesitation she threw it to him with a cold stare. "Now... you have my weapon".

He again pulled it from the sheath, and sstabbed it hilt deep in the stone. he set the sheath beside it, then stepped away from the weapons, so as to be further from them than Khalida. "My name is William." he said.

"William who?" Khalida asked. She always got the full name of someone before she gave hers. She was an ex-assassin afterall... it was her precaution in every meeting.

"Just William, milady Khalida, Just William. now its my turn to ask a question, Why are you here?" he said, levitating in a sitting position to be at eye level.

Khalida starred at him cooly. "How do you know my name?" she asked. She had been keeping her mind blocked the whole time... there was no way for anyone to enter her mind without damaging their own. "And why I am here is none of your concern", she snapped. "Cant someone go for a ride with ones horse?"

'There are much more efficient ways, milady, to breach a mind than battering on the front gate.' he said in her mind, from within her shielding. "And the very fact that you did not answer 'I was taking a ride with my horse' shows it is not your main reason and that you are hiding something." he said out loud, smiling slightly.

Khalida summoned Atlantis and it's sheath back to her before turning Kuchi around to head back up the trail. It was none of his concern to know the business of this bounty-hunter.
