While the streets and wilderness of Anthenia was his home, Taengea was his hunting grounds. Whenever the season came around and the markets were busy Belen would normally travel up to the forests of Taengea in order to hunt and sell of the rewards of labours to the highest bidder. Taengea could perhaps be called his second one, an area were he spent many summer days and nights, he had even spent a few weeks there during his long recovery. Yet summer was ending, and the hunting season was gone. No Belen was travelling for more important reasons.
Ever since the attack after the king's death, the entirety of Athenia had seemed of turned on itself, no one of common practice knew who to trust and trade had momentarily fallen, throwing the market places into a tide of panic. Even the Princess was nowhere to be seen, and despite Belen’s views upon the royal blood, he could see the loss of faith within the common people of Athenia. It had been a sober time within the kingdom he called home.
Therefore his interest only peaked when he came in contact with the lord of Argyris himself. There conversation was short and to the point, the lord did not waste words in his task, and his coin spoke volumes of the emergency of the situation. It was rather strange that a lord would hire a hunter to deliver a letter to Taengea out of all places. Yet Belen was no idiot, he knew something had to be amiss for the lord not to take one of his usual couriers. Discretion was advised within his task to deliver the letter, and the order to burn the letter was anything but comforting, but Belen could handle himself and his talents meant it wouldn't be too hard to find Lord Iason.
The journey to Taengea wasn't difficult by any means, however he had taken caution as not to be followed, veering off from the normal roads towards the kingdom, and marching through the wilderness. Only down side was it added about another day to his journey, but Belen wasn't one to get lost and easily made it to the kingdom within the week.
Although travelling was the easy part, the difficult task was actually locating the lord. He had been in Athenia during the attack, so there was always a chance that he could of fallen during the attack or died during his escape. However there was just as good of a chance he had survived and was lurking within the higher grounds of Taengea, and if Belen knew one thing it was patience, he was deterred by a few days of gathering no information, he knew how to stake out the area in order to gain information. It was only through long hours of wandering through markets or lurking through the higher echelons did he gather faint whispers about lord Iason residing within the Archontiko Dimitrou.
Yet that did appear to be a slightly harder task than he had anticipated, Belen didn’t look like the friendliest of people nowadays due to unfortunate events, and due to the recents events involving Iason security was bound to be high. He knew his hot temper wouldn't help him when accused and questioned by the guards, so Belen would have to stay on his best behaviour if he didn’t want to be turned away by the guards instantly. Compliance wasn't his thing.
When he eventually was confronted by guards, he was met with unwavering stares, with a few odd glances thrown in. Although by now he was use to that. Explaining the situations the odd glances didn't exactly disappear, instead growing in numbers. Despite this he was eventually allowed entry after showing the seal of the letter and relinquishing all of his weapons, he wasn’t entirely happy to do so, however he was not going to forget all the progress he had made to get to this point, and with a healthy grumble he let his bow from his grip. When brought into the manor, accompanied by a guard, he was told someone a servant perhaps had been sent off to either find Lord Iason or alert the people of the home. All Belen could hope for now was not to be turned away.

The whisper of the servant who had come to find him was a welcome one, the news hopeful as Demetrius nodded and gestured for them to lead the way back to the hall. He had been gathering information in the capitol city for the Dimitrou family and the queen of Athenia and now to have someone with a letter show up at the door asking to speak with the family could mean any number of things. A spy sent to try to find the location of the queen, a potential assassin, or someone willing to speak and share what they knew of the situation in the far off land and the safety of the people there.
Dressed simply in a sturdy tunic and breeches with a himation thrown over his shoulder to hide the bandaging that rested there in the event there was someone meant to do them harm, Dima carried one of his swords at his hip, just in case. He tried to carry himself with some sort of authority, anything that would convince the messenger to trust him so he could ascertain exactly how much of this information was true, how much was false, and what he should report back to the queen and her entourage. In the time since they'd fled, he'd grown fond of Persephone and Iason, they seemed the sort of nobility that actually cared about their people and they had been nothing but kind to him even after he had explained how he'd come to be in their company.
A dark haired man stood in the hall and Dima gave him a nod of greeting and one to the guard who had stood by the visitor as well. He didn't look familiar, but then he didn't look dangerous either, though there was no guarantee of that. Any man with skill would be able to hide exactly how dangerous he could be.
"Fetch him something to drink and eat. We will speak alone." The guard gave a nod before disappearing silently into the depths of the house and the foreign man rested one hand on the hilt of his sword casually, just in case.
"What news do you bring?"

"What news do you bring?"
The awful feeling of miscalculation crawled up his back as two men stepped into the room, one seemed to be a guard of sorts, much like the one by Belen’s side already, although he quickly left, whilst the other, from what Belen could tell, seemed to be a fighter himself. However one thing was for certain neither of them seemed to be the man he was looking for. Thinking back on it, the capitol wasn't the only place he would of gone, many lords had their own land in which they resided on, Belen merely came searching here because he had heard whispers of the Dimitrou’s never using this place, and therefore perhaps a perfect place to hide, right in plain sight. Yet that didn't seem to be the case and a sense of dread had crawled over the hunter’s imagination. What if Iason hadn't even made it out of Athenia in the first place? This entire job was a gamble, and against all feelings of relaxation Belen would have to stay on his guard even here with the manor.
The blue eyed man gave him a nod and Belen did so as well in return. “Good news I would hope.” Belen said as he reached into a pouch attached on the inside of his leather armour. Although Belen didn't appear to be the wealthiest of commoner’s he surely appeared to be ready for battle, dressed in browns and greens with a leather chest piece and bracers. Although he didn't seem part of military, perhaps the look of a hunter of mercenary. With the letter in his hand, he hesitated to reach out with it, he could already see eyes on him when he reached into his armour. What was worse was Belen truly didn't know if he could trust the man in front of him, yet he had no choice now, not with so many eyes on him.
“I assume you’re here in Lord Iason’s place? Aimias sends word.” Belen said as his eye swiftly glazed throughout the room as he held out the letter. Eventually his eyes drifted down to the blade as a nervous feeling overtook him, if something did break out, with tensions as high as they where, Belen truly had no way to defend himself. In this his he took on a more stern look, his one eye staring into the man’s in front of him.
“Although I don’t even know if I should be handing this over to you, with the events currently unfolding in Athenia, trust is a virtue. However, Belen of Aetaea.” Despite the deep tone of mistrust, Belen still attempted to leaviate it by giving his name, just hoping to establish some form of trust before going any further with discussion.

”Good news is always welcome.”
Dima let his hand move from the hilt of his sword as the dark haired man untied a pouch and pulled free a paper, a letter that made the foreign man’s heart jump a bit. If this was news from Athenia, it meant he could finally take Olena away from the capitol and keep her safe at the country estate of the Dimitrous where no one would be searching for her. Holding his hand out for it eagerly, he took a step forward before the question stopped him in his tracks.
Nodding, he gestured to the stag head pin that was the crest of the family he was now serving.
”Lord Iason sent me to seek news of Athenia.”
The stare of the one eyed man was disturbing, but Dima held his gaze with a solemn expression of his own. It was difficult he knew, being the messenger between one place and another without being sure that the person was one of trust. The name rang familiar to a province in Athenia, and he nodded before introducing himself in return. He needed to get that letter, needed to get it back to the country.
”Demetrius, I fought in the arena of Athenia before I came into the service of Lord Iason. I fled with him when our lives were threatened at the palace.”
Omitting the presence and connection to the queen, Dima hoped that the knowledge that he had left with the Taengean lord and betrothed of the queen would give some sort of trust and clout to his claims. He’d heard Aimias’ name, though he’d never interacted with the man, he knew from what he’d gathered that he was an advisor of sorts. Anything from Aimias then, especially if it was touted as good news, would be something to bring peace to the queen.
”What is your news?”
