In Character

Baldur's head bolted up and looked around, smelling the air. His eyes narrowed, and reached for his sword, which was now in his scabbard.


"Whoever is out there, show yourself."

Thorn stepped out from a thick tree, peaking her head around at the man, she looked young, she looked 16, which gave her a rather harmless appearance. Thorn silently stared at the man, waiting for him to speak. 
 
Animal had stumbled several times as he moved through the trees. he was distracted. otherwise he would have already made it to the cave. so many scents, so many sounds. this was one of the few times he was glad he couldn't see. it would only make this worse.


 as he hurried he came to the cave the group had hidden in. humans and dragons. both were here and that wasn't normal. a hunter maybe? no...there were two...humans? no one wasn't human. but he wasn't a scent he recognized.


 landing silently, he took a breath, listening. the light clicking of metal told him exactly where the man was. 


 his scent had probably shifted to the group. he was upwind of them. stupid mistake. he was so distracted he didn't think of a stealthy approach...
 
Asura turned surprised mostly because he hadn't realized he'd blacked out for a minute. The other half of surprise was because Kage looked amazing in her new clothes. Words bubbled up his throat but he forced them back down before he made Kage think he was creepy. "hey... you look just as beautiful as i thought you are." His face held a smile be mentally he was slamming his head into a wall repeatedly. "uh... sorry, that sounded creepy didn't it?"


Suo sat off to the side against the cave wall alone.


Angelina was still staring at Alistair both curiously and with another unreadable emotion. Her curiosity shifted to the necklace he was now holding.


@FireMaiden @Emperor Of Embers
 
"I uh.....to be honest, that wasn't the creepiest thing I've heard," Kage said. She brushed a strand of hair out of her face, before lookin off into the woods, "I wanted to thank you again...for saving me. And wanted to know if I could stay with your group," She hoped he'd say yes. She didn't want to be alone, and these people seemed nice enough.


@Shiro kurogane
 
Alas manages to make it to the front of the cave, he takes a deep breath and tells himself


"You can do this, you been trained to do it." Alas grabs onto the sword handle holstered to his side, he gets up and starts to walk slowly, yet, with a less impatient paste. 


The first thing Alas notices will be the temperature, it's pretty cold vibe being produced from that cave. Which is odd...


Then the next thing he notices is the people from before, Alas hopes they're actually people. He can't just sneak past them, he's no ninja. Maybe he can start it with a friendly conversation and hope he won't get jumped. He starts to walk casually until he can be obviously visible to the nearest creature he stops. Gripping tightly onto the handle with his right hand, he raises his left to greet the people. 


"Greetings! I am...." Alas stops, he must play it safe, he lowers his left hand and scratches his chin before he speaks again with an idea.


"I am Yorvik! Traveler of the many lands! I have noticed that you and a group of your adventures have stumbled into this cave." 


(I would tag if I wasn't confused on who's at the front of the cave. Apologies)
 
"i think you staying with us is a given. i wouldn't just free you just to toss out on your own." Asura answered with a stern voice that suggested he wouldn't allow her to be left alone. 


@FireMaiden
 
(Imma ve nice and NPC the hunters for you, if that's ok of course)


The hunters sneered from a distance, happy they finally  manage to at least injury the dragon they've been trackin for quiet some time.

The female turned and hissed in the direction of the hunters. "Don't shift. Don't shift." She kept repeating to herself as if it were a mantra as she picked up Lucian and ran like hell, only succeeding in making her leg bleed more. 


Ducking into  to an alleyway, she took a risk to heal herself faster. She shifted into her half-dragon form. With large wings and a tail, she was easy to identify. But it would help. 


She let out a roar, asking any dragon nearby for help. The hunters were far enough away. If it was heard by a dragon, she could possibly get away. 


@Baku @Emperor Of Embers @FireMaiden@Flareshield @Safety Hammer


{*just trying to get in here somewhere. Ka literally out of ideas on how* }
 
She felt relived when he said she could stay, but then it was over shadowed by a bit of fear form the man who had just shown up out of nowhere and introduced himself. She subconsciously hid herself behind Asura.


@Shiro kurogane @Dutchmann

The hunters did they're best to follow, but since they weren't very good at what they did, (they were new) they quickly lost sight of Keres. Though they were still looking because of the roar. But it echoed so it nm are a bit harder to pinpoint.


@AllTheFangirlThings
 
Violet caught a scent she recognized. "It's my neighbor he's nearby! Sorry guys he's very shy and this time he will say hello to me!" Violet charged out following the scent.

Angelina was still staring at Alistair both curiously and with another unreadable emotion. Her curiosity shifted to the necklace he was now holding.


@FireMaiden @Emperor Of Embers

Alistair walked over to Angelina, staring deep into her eyes as he got closer, his horse following behind him. Proxi then flew into his pouch at lightning speed. Once he was close enough, he extended his hand out to her, the necklace still glowing in her presence. He was giving the necklace to her, since he believes that she is destined to be his, by the whim of both dragon and elven gods. @Shiro kurogane
 
he had been so close. he was right there! all He has to do is jump down and...and...


 oi...everything was spinning. why what now...?


suddenly the stomps of rapid foot steps bled through the sea of sounds. someone was running? why was someone...


after a moment realization hit him. She caught his scent! he had crossed into her territory and she found him! 


"bad...bad bad..." 


he turned, already moving. if she caught him there was no telling what she would do. last time he did was caught by something territorial he nearly lost an arm...


 jumping from branch to branch he moved. maybe if he put enough distance she would leave him be..? He hoped...


@Baku
 
Asura's gaze hardened on the newcomer. "traveler my ass. this cave isn't so easily found that a random person in the woods could just happen across it. and thats leaving out that we've made no loud noises or have any kind of light source to alert you to the cave. so what are you really doing here?"


Suo Stood and was walking over to his friend and Kage. He took a position to the new guy's right. "and the footsteps i heard following us here stopped exactly the same as when your did."


@FireMaiden @Dutchmann





Angelina although fearful of people was oddly unafraid of Alistair. She reached out her hand to his, not fully sure what he wanted. "why is your necklace glowing?"


@Emperor Of Embers
 
"He was following us?" She asked a bit fearful. She didn't like the sound of that. Maybe he was a hunter, or some other bad person. She really didn't want to have any confrontations at the moment. She slightly peeked out from behind Asura to watch the newcomer and Suo.

@Emperor Of Embers

"It glows when a pure spirit is in his presence, it's never glowed like that... Except for now. In Elven belief, this necklace is like a matchmaker, and is to be worn by the significant other...... Meaning that he thinks you are the one because the necklace told him so...." Proxi said after flying out of the pouch, and floating next to the boy's head. He blushes as red as a tomato, and cannot help but nervously chuckle. "Oh.... And also, he does not talk." she added. 

(im off to sleep for the night.)

(same.)
 
 Phaius walked out of the cave, going to the lake nearby to get some water and rested out in the sun. He saw no use of being in the cave at the moment, nor anywhere else, so he just stayed by the lake he was resting at. 
 
(I guess I can also call it a night, good night to you all)


Well, that plan didn't work. Speaking the truth might work, but it has a high risk. However you must always take risks to gain glory. Right? Alas looks at the man, still gripping onto the sword handle,


"Alright, fine, I followed you guys, but don't get me wrong. I'm no bandit. I'm just a man who thought you were going to take that girl back in the village for yourself or something" his eyes drifts to the girl besides the man.


"You do know the laws of the land on slavery. I'm no authority,  just a man who wants to know if what you did was a good thing, or you were some bandits or something like that, something evil., I was also curious of that." Alas stated as he pointed to the cave with his left hand. 


"Now, I'm no man who knows their criminals or heroes well, but that... place is no common place for either to live in."


"I am an adventure, so how about we make a deal. I'll trade my tales and information, for information on you and that cave. I know it sounds a little odd, but I'm not going t-" Alas stopped, knowing he might be speaking too much and spill a little too much information. 


"So how about it, deal?" he says keeping his eyes on the man.


@FireMaiden @Shiro kurogane
 
if she was right one tail in a great position for what happened next. her sudden shift made him waver, and he lost focus. 


 he jumped straight into a branch, and he was forced to a dead stop. he hit the dirt with a groan, coughing up blood and he held his jaw. for a moment he forgot everything he was doing. then realized what he was doing. his head was spinning and he couldn't focus. he couldn't see anything...


@Baku
 
Violet dropped down worried "Oh dear I am so sorry! Uh here I'll take you back to my home so I can help you!" Violet slowly picked the dragon up. Hoping to not startle him so she could bring him back to where he was safe.


@Mistory
 
he snarled, Imidiatly pushing away. he stumbled to the ground, trying to back away. he put a hand over his head, his eyes shifting wildly. he didn't know where she was now. her scent gave him a general direction but at this point he was useless. he snarled, trying to seem intimidating. to make her back off...


@Baku
 
"Hey it's OK I'm not going to hurt you. You are injured and you need medical attention. Just calm down for your sake." Violet had a calming serene sound to her voice like a mother talking to her child after they went through something bad. "I'm here to help.. Just come with me and you will have no problems. I promise that much."
