((OK, lets hope this one doesn't Die.))
Morning arose within the outskirts of the Kingdom.The sky was filled with hues of orange and pink with stray clouds silhouetted infront of the sun.
A gentle breeze blew through the dew-kissed fields causing the tall grass look like rippling waves of an ocean.
a rather large caravan galloped their way down the moist beaten path that spring morn.
The large group of travelers carried along large carts and carriages full of supplies, cages, and small buildings behind them. There were right many people along for the ride. All of which were lugging around a respectable amount of baggage themselves. Everyone had a worn look about them as if they have been doing it for some time. Others looked bright eyes and gazed around the landscapes with a gleam of innocence in their eyes. Mostlikly new to their life on the road.
"Doma is just a few miles ahead, SIR" Called out one of the trawlers leaning back using the reigns on his chocobo to keep balance as he to the back of the caravan.
An elderly figure leaned out from a one of the back carriages His face long and very grey looking with obvious signs of aging. Without a word he waved his hand onward and went back into his carriage.
Taking a deep breath the man adjusted his black robes and leaned back against his seat taking in a deep breath.
"Doma? You think they have what we are looking for?" he exhaled in a non-enthusiastic tone towards the right of himself.
There sitting next to him in a very uncomfortable way(which he doesn't seem to mind) a jester donned in black and blue sits there grinning wickedly and nodding his head.
He sat like a frog swayed his head from side to side letting the one bell on his hat jingle and jangle.
The old man sighed in annoyance and rubbed his forehand.
"We will see.."

Half a day later that following day. The citizens of the kingdom were more energetic then usual. Everyone seems to be crowing around a specific area this time.
Much of the population were crowded around the caravan setting up their business. Which surprisingly they were just about finished. just a few more booths to set up as well as the main tent.
The sound of people talking among themselves in half confusion and half curiosity.
"What do you suppose they are here for?" one person muttered.
"I have no idea, but I think it has something to do with those flyers around the square." the other replied.
"Well, whatever this is. it looks interesting to say the least."
"Right you are"
