Into the Stars

[Ricia]

Leo jolted a bit as well, but sighed lightly.


Eventually they go through the worst of town, which was closest to the castle and they started their way into the lower part of the city.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kasu was a bit more relaxed when they hit the lowercity. "I'm ok Kaishiro," he told the boy who let go of Kasu.


"See Kasu is ok!" KAishiro smiled

 

[Ricia]

Leo smiled, he was glad Kaishrio was the one who stepped up for Kasu. He felt like perhaps he was codling or getting to close to Kasu a lot of times.


It was a while longer before the carriage stopped.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Oh we are here?" Victoria asked looking out the carraige.

 

[Ricia]

There was a forest out, it was a bit too thick to take the carriage through.


"Alright kiddies, rides over." Shougen said from the roof of the carriage. Mika opened up the carriage door for the group.


"Thank you." Taji said, getting out first. Leo waited for the whole group to get out first.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kasu got out after Kaishiro who followed Victoria Kasu looked around "It's beautiful," he comented. "Annoyingly bright but ... beautiful,"

 

[Ricia]

Leo nodded quietly, looking up and shougen whome was on the top of the carriage. His jaw was slightly open and breathing in.


"Where do we even start...?" Taji asked.


Leo looked at kasu, "you think we are far enough to take off your ring safely?"

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Maybe," Kasu said and slid the ring off taking in a deep breath to take in all the surrounding smells. '


"What if the cult is useing blood?" Victoria asked sure Kasu'd find it but he'd loose it maybe

 

[Ricia]

Taji was the strongest smell at the moment. Hard to smell anything past him. Tree. The other fairy and shougen were the remaining smell.


"Mika would be able to help him after that..." leo said confidently.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I don;t smell much past the group," Kasu said after a moment to calm down how wonderful Taji always smelled.

 

[Ricia]

"That's ok. I can't smell much either....herb heavy.... why have they not looked here yet?" Shougen asked.


Mika looked at them, "mika read no records of checking here."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I'm not sure," Kasu said "it seems almost obvious lets get in there,"


"Lets go in stealthy," Kaishiro giggled

 

[Ricia]

"There is a chance that someone has been throwing them off" taji told them, "I mean really.. how do you kidnapped a princesses?"


Leo was not sure, but it did happen. Mika and shougen took the lead into the forest.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Inside operations," Kasu said simply. "Like Victoria said the princess probably knew the person who took her,"

 

[Ricia]

"As much as I want to pin the blame on the bitch..." taji said with a growl.


Leo chuckled lightly, "maybe... but lets just keep looking..."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"yes," Kasu said and began to go into the forest he smelled the herbs Shougen was talking about,

 

[Ricia]

They proubuly wandered for several hours till kasu got a wiff of reath old blood.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kasu coughed "god this smells aweful," he told the group "this way," he pointed the direction,

 

[Ricia]

Taji raised an eye brow at Kasu but followed him.


After a little bit into, "Ugh... your right that smells awful.." Shougen said, not as sensitive to blood as Kasu.


Eventually they made it to a large stone platform. There was quite a bit of blood everywhere.


Leo covered his mouth, he was not sure he he had the stomach for this...

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kasu felt a bit faint "Lets look around,"


Victoria almost faited at the gory mess Kaishiro though wasn't really phased as much as he began to look around

 

[Ricia]

Taji nodded and started to look around.


"Is... someone up there?" There was a voice that called out to them.


Shougen looked around, "What the..?" There was on heart beat, smell or sign of another human.


Leo looked lightly alarmed, "Yes... are.. are you the princess?" Leo asked.


"I am! Who are you?" Was the answer, "Can you help me?"

 

[InsaneTruth]

"We are here to help," Kasu said listening for the heatbeat.


"we found her!" Victoria smiled

 

[Ricia]

There was none. There was no sign that the voice even existed.


"Do... you know where you are.. because we don't see or hear you..." Shougen said, "Or smell..."


"There is a trap! It moves one of the rocks..." She said loudly. "But there is a spell trap on it..."


"Spell trap..?" Leo asked.


"People without magic.. or an item meant to break magic can do nothing about magic traps short of setting them off." Shougen said with a sigh. "The same spell is most likely what is making her invisible to us."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Can you break it Shougen?" Kasu asked


"Or we could ask Buba about it through a mirror..." Victoria said holding Dos or she could destroy it... but that would not work,

 

[Ricia]

"Demon have very specific magic... like.. stealing souls. Only the super duper powerful ones really get the fancy magic." Shougen said.


"pardon... demon?" The princess said.
