"Well, I doubt you were reborn as a human just to ride trains. It might have had something to do with Alistair and the war, or those other two dragons.... Your mate and his brother. But have you ever seen London? It makes quite the impression. That's one advantage to being human."

She looks away at the mention of her mate. The pain of it was still fresh and it made the fact that he killed Alastair all the worse.
She smiles a bit and nods at the mention of seeing London. "I saw the area long ago before it became the city it is now." She says.

"Oh, it's very different now. You might not even recognize it. You've probably noticed that times have changed."

She nods softly. "Yes, a lot has changed. Time does that though. "

"Well, we don't know exactly where Alistair's son is, so sightseeing it is."

She nods softly. "Will be nice." She falls quiet for a moment then asks. "Why did he never mention his son before...?"

"It's.... Complicated. I never knew about him before, either. But from what I understand, he and the mother didn't exactly part on good terms. I don't know the details."

She makes a face a little and sighs. "That may make this worse...we'll find out I'm sure once we locate him."

"This all happened long before the war, you know. Long even before he met you. He's changed since then. Become a king, a leader, the harbinger of peace and equal rights between races and all. No telling what the woman will think of him now. Especially after he sacrificed himself for us."

She nods a bit at his words. "I understand and do hope that is the case. This entire thing needs to go smoothly. I've been hearing rumors of some beings becoming uneasy. Things are staying calm."

This clearly interested Hunter. "These rumors certainly haven't reached the rest of the royal circle. Do you have more details? This should have gone straight to the castle."

She nods. "Most of the rumors pertain to the fear of if the new king won't be like him." She shakes her head. "So far nothing has come of this fear. I let the general know of the concern before I left."
She smiles a little. "Unfortantly as guardian, I do not sleep like most would with normal dreams. I see what goes on instead. I see what the gods want me to see."
Looking out the window then looking back at Hunter. "Change can scare people. So far though, so many still believe in his world and way of life that the rumors are just that so far."

"Good. We can't have an uprising on our hands. Rebellion at the start of the new king's reign would be bad, to say the least."

She nods softly. "Indeed." She truly hoped that the peace could be kept. So much good had come from it.

"We should get some rest before reaching the dock. It's going to be a long day."

She nods a bit. "Agreed. " she got to her feet and heads to her room so she could lay down.

Later, at the English coast....
"Hey," Hunter shook Sapphire awake. "Get up. We're here." He stood up and led her to the deck. "Welcome.... to Penzance, England, on the southwest coast of the country."

She tenses when she was shaken awake but relaxes when she saw it was Hunter. She nods and moves to her feet and follows him to the deck. Her eyes widen at the sight of the shore. The area was different than it had been before. Much had indeed changed.

"It's not far to the train station. We can walk. But from here on, we stay under cover. Being recognized will only slow us down.... And warn the prince's mom, if she really does still hate Alistair."

"Sounds like a fun challenge." She comments before covering up both her wrists so that the dragon mark on her left wrist was hidden from sight. The long sleeves of her dress aiding in this. She had worn the dress with splits in it where she worn matching pants underneath it. A style of dress she often used when out and needing to look presentable but able to fight if the need arised.

Hunter was wearing dirty jeans and a black tank top that showed his muscles, but he now pulled a long-sleeved black shirt on and hid his face with a black baseball cap. Then he stepped off the boat, making sure no one saw him, and moved off, keeping his head low.

Sapphire followed in a similar fashion but allowed herself to blend with the crowds as she walked at Hunter's side. "You look suspicious that way you know. " she comments as they walk. She had found that acting normal had helped her blend in more than trying to hide herself.

"Suspicious is better than the alternative. I'm too easy to recognize; everyone knows what the general of the Hunters looks like. You too, by the way. If someone catches a glimpse of my face, it's over. Let the cops watch; there aren't many anyway, not since the war. They're still recovering. I'm doing nothing wrong."

She smiles softly. "I'm not saying you are doing anything wrong. Just something I've learned over the years." She glances around as they keep going.
The idea of riding the train was exciting and she couldn't wait. She was curious. Her mind was focused on the task of finding the Prince still as well.

At the train station, they were asked to show their ID, and Hunter slid over a file labeled Classified. The security guard flipped it open and nodded. "Have a nice trip, sir,"

Once they got on the train she was looking at everything curiously but kept her composure as though she had been on a train before. Once they got their seats she still kept from showing her excitement. She felt like a kid again.

Once the train had set off, Hunter looked cautiously at Sapphire. "So, is it all you'd dreamed of? Riding a train, I mean? As special as you'd hoped?"

She smiles warmly as she watched out the window then looked to Hunter as he spoke. "It is. It's so different. In a way it reminds me of flying." It also reminded her of the fact that she hasn't changed to her dragon form since the death of her mate and the king.

Hunter appeared bewildered. "Of flying? I can't imagine why. But we reach London in five hours, if all goes well. Then comes the hard part: Actually finding the guy. All I know is that he's in the London area. He might not even be in London. I get the feeling our inability to find him is no accident."

She smiles a little to him. "One day I will take you flying. The way a dragon flies. You know what I mean. "
She nods at his words. "That's what I was figuring. We need to make sure not to stir attention as we search. This is going to make things interesting. Do we know his full name? May be able to check with the local protector of the land and see if they are familiar with him."
