[Lioness075]

Luness wasn't sure how to react when Ward seemingly didn't notice her apology or her for that matter. Huffing at this, Luness wandered off to the side of the group and then sat down in her hind legs, such like a real lynx would do. She then began licking at one of her front paws, patently waiting for the group to get themselves under control and to decide on their next move. Amidst the small chaos among the group, Luness carefully watched Ward, already being able to tell that he was the leader of this group.

The others had gone through the portal but princess Briar turned to Nyr with a concern expression.


"I heard there was a flock of dread ravens approaching the castle. What did they want?" She asked, waving for the servants to fetch cloaks for Nyr and the phoenix.


((Edit @Lioness075 ))


Ward looked back at Luness with a sly expression. He scooped up a ball of snow and tossed it at her.


"I'll get you back then!" He called playfully. After he threw it he transformed into his gryphon form, the size of a horse and bounded away.

 

[chamomile]

Lexi giggled. The group now was just basically waiting for someone smart enough to navigate this land to stand up and stop their horseplay but who doesn't like to be a child every once in a while, right? She watched as the newer members that entered through the portal been ambushed by her unsuspecting shots but due to the slight wind, she couldn't actually see if they hit their mark. She threw one in Elena's direction, making a small fort to hide behind.


Lexi hadn't had this much fun since earlier in the year, grinning and having fun were mere sacrifices to live with her mother but with her new friends, she shouldn't worry that much. Seeing Ward entering the scene, she tried to act casual on the snow, snickering to herself why kids pretend to do something else when the responsible people is around.

Without the snow to break her fall, Ashley would have for sure lost her baby, but thankfully she didn't. Even though she dressed warm, the Snow felt relentless. Seeing Leia and Zel laughing, it made her happy to be within a group of such enthusiastic people. A few moments later, she walked up next to Ward. "So what's next? You chose quite the destination for our next adventure." She tried to show enthusiasm, despite sense the dark energy and strong evil.


@SilverFlight

 

[Naeg1]

After a while, Zelnite finally stood up. "So, where do we go from here?" He asked, he was still confused with the place and waited for his allies to make a move.


(EDIT: Last post for today, got busy =3)

 

[Bea Delaine]

Elena sobered up after her memory, and decided to dust herself off. She moved her hands to her hood when she realized that clumps of her curls were heavy with water and snow. Shaking her head didn't seem to help and it proved annoying to fix the clumps up in some way, so instead she decided to yank her hood further over her head and approach the entirety of the group. She smiled warmly at the sight of a snow covered Ward. She took a snow ball and threw it at the back of his head.


"Hey. Should we stay and have some fun or go?" She asked, giggling slightly and awaiting the snowball to make contact.

 

[SilverFlight]

Ward took the hit at the back of his head and it was enough to sober him. He grinned at Elena, looking out beyond the bottom of the hill.


"The lake is in that direction, we have a bit of a walk before we reach it however. The village at its edge will give us shelter before our trip onto the ice."


Leia looked out and whistled. That looks far."

 

[Flutterby]

Quincy turned to looked for Alexander, finding him face first in the snow. Carrying her handful with her, she offered the other hand to help him up. "Not a fan of water?" She asked softly, having noted his discomfort about the portal. "Can you tell me what this is?" She asked, showing the handful of snow despite the fact that it was literally everywhere around them. The kelpie tugged her hood up, already feeling the chill; the enchantment must keep them warm enough, but even it couldnt completely ward off the icy elements.

 

[Lioness075]

Luness heard Ward shout at her and turned in time to get whacked by a snowball in the face. She let out a yelp and jumped five feet into the air before landing in a tangled mess on her own. Shaking her head, Luness leapt to her paws and glared at Ward, who was now a gryphon and bounding away. Before she could make any moves, Ward was struck by another snowball and then stopped his play. Huffing, Luness walked up to Ward and silently listened in on the plan.


Looking in the direction that Ward gestured towards, Luness didn't feel like it'd be that long of a journey. Being a lynx, Luness' paws were natural snowshoes and she had no problem walking over snow or traveling through it. If she wanted to leave the group behind, she probably would have no problem getting to the mentioned village ahead of them. Yet, she needed to get somewhat acquainted with the members so that she could better understand who she was working with.

"The lake is in that direction, we have a bit of a walk before we reach it however. The village at its edge will give us shelter before our trip onto the ice."


Leia looked out and whistled. That looks far."

"Well, a rest stop would be nice actually. I'm sure my little one would appreciate that." She mused when Ward said that they'd be heading to a Village for a bit. "You would appreciate that, wouldn't you, sweetie?" She asked, cradling her stomach and practically talking to her unborn child. Hopefully she didn't make herself look too awkward by doing that.

 

[DawnAntalios]

Nyr bowed before her respectfully.


" With all due respect your highness they brought a warning with themselves. " she said uneasily. " They have joined the gathering darkness and now they intend to strike at us. They told us to surrender or they will devastate everything in their path. "


Ashamed that one of her kin threatened the princess she blushed heavily.


" I will stand against them, your highness, worry not. " she said " I will stop my father... even if that means me slaying him. "

 

[Bea Delaine]

Elena nodded, immediately running off in the direction of the village they needed to reach. For the first time on this trip, she truly believed she could sleep a full night or even longer, and she probably didn't even have time to do that. Her speed held somewhere around a jog. Walking seemed too slow in this weather, and they had a mission to accomplish. She also felt the need to talk to Ward about something once they got to a shelter.


"Sounds nice." She said simply, mind now occupied.

 

[Sleipnir]

Ethan stumbled, Suddenly feeling very lost and very cold. He looked around, realizing this was not his home, and frowned, confused. What was this place? Why was there snow this time of year, and how did he get there? Surely he couldn't have teleported?


He stood there alone for several minutes, looking around at the landscape. Finally, Ethan decided he might as well start walking and, after another look around, he picked a direction and started going, tripping in the snow. He took a breath, pulling his jacket closer.

 

[Lioness075]

Shifting her gaze from Ward, Luness frowned at the human near her. Her stomach was larger than the others and after listening for a moment, Luness realized with a start that the human was pregnant. Flickering her ears towards the female, Luness took a tentative step towards her and then paused, cocking her head in curiosity. From what Luness knew, she hadn't met many animals, or humans, that were pregnant and lived long enough to give birth to their children. At least, not from where Luness had come from. Luness could only wonder how the female had lasted so long with such a burden to bear.

 

[Aelin]

She tilted her head well looking at Nyr, completely forgetting she was supposed to bow " Want me to find the others and see if they can help? it may be needed." she said as her eyes glowed a little brighter "I'm sort of worried.." she whispered to Nyr.

 

[zCrookedz]

The snow was a beautiful bleach white. It covered the land like a blanket, only interrupted where the rest of his group had been. He saw Ward at the front with some of the others gesturing off in a direction. He began to make his we towards him until he spied Banba. A smile stretched across his face wide as he scooped up a large ball of snow in his giant paws. As he walked by the scalely girl, he dropped the ball of snow upon her head with a thump. He began to laugh good and hard at the sight of the little green shifter covered in snow.

[DawnAntalios]

Nyr shook her head.


" No, we must follow the others to the ice kingdom. We - especially you - will need winter clothes so we wont freeze. "


She bowed her head.


" Even though my father is strong he would not dare to attack us alone... no he was just threatening. If something will come it will be something big. Very big. But that will not happen just yet. "

 

[Sleipnir]

In the landscape, it suddenly occurred to Ethan that he heard something on the wind. Laughter or some sort of talking — but definitely speech. He started climbing the nearest hill in order to see them, and as he reached the crest, he yelled out, "Hey! Anyone out here?"


He looked around, straining to see the others. "I could really use some help!"

 

[Aelin]

She crossed her arms the idea of a ice kingdom was not very appealing "okay." she said then remembered she was supposed to bow or curtsy. She Curtsied then talked to Nyr "Let me guess this is not going to be very pleasant for me?" she asked.

 

[Bea Delaine]

When Elena ran ahead, she felt a little triumphant to lose the sounds of some of her traveling companions through the distance, but there were sounds of someone walking nearby. Leaving her path a little bit, she came upon a very cold looking boy, who began to yell out(Ethan).


"Hey, here." Having wool under her coat, she took off the magic coat and gave it to him, feeling the chill.


"Take this or you'll freeze to death.. And hold on."


She yelled out to the group.


"There's a boy out here!!"

 

[Lioness075]

Suddenly, Luness could hear distant shouting. Distracted from the pregnant female, Luness began bounding towards the shouting, curious who or what it was. Skidding to a halt on a snowbank, Luness looked down to see a man about twenty feet away from her. Looking just like a wild lynx, Luness huffed at the human and narrowed her eyes at him, watching him carefully. Was he friend or foe? Luness had absolutely no idea, but he didn't smell of any kind of danger and seemed harmless enough to her. If he was dangerous, Luness felt more than confident with taking care of him.


Watching one of the group members approaching the man, Luness still stayed where she was. There was no way that she was just going to randomly approach a stranger in such a manner. That member was going to get herself killed if she approached every stranger that way.

 

[Jecklyn]

Banba's eyes flew open as a load of snow was dropped on her head, covering her. She looked around, perplexed at the new development before she spotted Leo, laughing. The shifter grinned, her mind sluggishly thinking of a comeback when it was distracted by a noise. She shot up, dashing to the newcomer whom just received a coat. Despite that, she flung herself at him, becoming much like a blanket and wrapped herself around him. She grinned, squeezing a bit as the werecat approached.

 

[Sleipnir]

He turned to his new companion, startled but not objecting. He took the coat gratefully then turned in the direction she was yelling. "My name's Ethan," he said. He looked around once more, still disoriented. "Ahh... Where am I?"


As the others approached, re recoiled at Banba's "attack," shocked. Ethan staggered, unsure what to do or what exactly was happening. "What—?"

 

[Hel]

Alexander accepted the help, and brushed himself off, "I've heard a lot of words for it, but I think the most common one is snow," he said, wiping the melted snow from his face. He had severely underestimated the cold here, and was reconsidering not having gotten a cloak or something to cover his bare shoulders. "And I hate swimming, but I suppose that could have been worse." He smiled, and noticed the girls running off, "We should follow," he motioned towards them, and headed that way, motioning for Quincy to come too.


Anya smiled and watched the snowball fight. She had been dodging snowballs thrown at her and successfully managed to stay out of the way. "Hey, slow down!" She called, with a laugh in her voice as she followed after Lexi and the others.

 

[Bea Delaine]

Elena's teeth chattered, now starting to figure out how cold this place is. She looked grateful though when more people arrived to aid him. He looked very confused and was wearing clothes from her time. A key hint that he was a human as well.


"N-nice to meet you Ethan. Call me Elena.." She paused and looked back for help answering his question.


"You're in a place called Fablewood.. It's like um.. Take every old story or fable or myth you've ever read and combine it in a world. That is where you are. Did that help?" She asked with some amount of shy anxiety.
