The history between the lands


When the lands were created eight people ruled one land, Sirgud, Hemun, Kiath, Jone, Lais, Tiah, Zene, and Ferris. Each one would try to cooperate with each other and for 60 years it succeeded until ruler Kiath died from old age. Kiath was one of the rulers that kept the peace on the land; reducing taxes, creating events and festivals, and keeping the other rulers from fighting. As days continued, more aggression within the walls grew. One evening, Sirgud, the first emperor of Magnil, thought he would be better making a new empire in a much more suitable environment for him. After the decision came he asked for any civilians and workers the join him. The six others had the same idea when Sirgud came through and once again they asked for civilians to join them as well. Lais, the first queen of Altics, stayed and changed what the mistakes of the past rulers created. Hemun, the first king of Lerwyr, created a haven for all who are elves. Jone, the first ruler of Echits, lived in poverty after a storm hit his city wiping away most of the buildings. Ferris, the first king of Skelix, created his city in the high mountains to monitor each land. Tiah, the first ruler of Cloud City, claimed her land and with the help of other angels, enchanted the land to float above land to avoid be attacked and claimed her land as being a resort to the good and rich. Zene, the first emperor of Talismer, created a small city within his land and made a large board in the middle of the city with available contracts and targets that the emperor needs "Taken care of" for a reward. Which made it a safe haven for any bounty hunters, marauders, sellswords, and criminals.


The Three Nation War


A couple years later (1687), Zene has died from an unknown cause and his half-son Toim has taken the crown. Toim has always hated his land and how small it was, so with no doubt he wanted more. On the board he put up a contract; "The King or Queen to Lerwyr --- 200,000 coins". The coin thirsty criminals took this into action and assembled an army with words of the coins being split with fingers crossed behind their backs. The army crossed the lands to Lerwyr where they burnt down more than 20 homes and killed nearly 1,150 elves in the process. As the army of bloodthirsty marauders sprinted towards the long house to the Hemun, they were ambushed by 15 guards. They army barely had a scratch and the guards only killed 32 of the marauders. A word was soon retaliated back to the new king of Skelix, Gure, by a messenger saying that Hemun has been assassinated by an army sent by Toim. With word Gure sent half of his army to deal with them and help protect Lerwyr. When Gure's army secured Lerwyr, a survivor, Kyger, was then crowned king. Kyger focus on retaliation and sent all of his army to attack Talismer. Gure considered not retaliating to keep peace but Kyger refused to understand and tried to. When Kyger's army was half way towards Talismer, the army was intercepted with Gure's army showing hostile reaction and wiping off a fourth of his army before Gure's army retreated. A bloody war between all nations continued for over 40 years until Gure and Kyer made another treaty with each other to monitor the borders of there lands and intercept armies by Toim.


The New Rulers


Over the next 60 years, Lais was replaced by her daughter Saim. Gure still owns Skelix. Kyger still owns Lerwyr. Jone was replaced with Jone the II. Tiah was dethroned after raising the taxes too high and then replaced with Jui (Female). Also, Sirgud still rules Magnil.

[ScoutNoProblemo]

On a dark night, ruin arose mysteriously from the ground. With the site of fog and swampy water to its right, the lights of a grateful city in front, the picture of fire and volcanic ash in the back, and a long trail slithering towards uncharted territory. As in which 6 letters floated in the lands and it seems to have picked favorites. All the letters entail are an invitation to the ruin as well as the location of it. The notes were specifically past down to Elan Illumer, a kind angel supporting others, Romi Mildmourn, the mercenary archer, Silver Whiteblood, a rare shapeshifter, Alphaba, the "theif" referred to by the rich, Freya Ravencrone, a heavily armed bounty hunter, and Adriana Doyle, the faerie called "The Huntress" to her comrades. Each one of these letters said something very personal to them. (Find your name and the letter should be under.)

Élan stood and gaped at the piece if paper in his hands. He couldn't believe it. He reread the letter, then read it again, and again. He showed it to his grandmother who took one glance and began chuckling.


"I told you this day would come, Elan. It's a good thing I always kept prepared." She stood elegantly from her backless armchair and strode over to her locked cupboard. She withdrew a single key from a chain around her neck and inserted it into the lock.


Inside was a vast array of weapons, some that Elan had never seen before, each more terrifying than the last. His grandmother laughed at him.


"Don't worry, i know you all too well, I won't give you any of these, take this." She handed him a small dagger and a satchel, specially prepared to make room for his wings. Looking inside he found food, a container for water, and some medical aids. He looked up at her confused. She sighed.


"It's time for your adventure young Elan, now go."

Silver laid down on a large tree branch as she threw a bottle up in the air and then caught it again. She found it when she was drinking water from a river somewhere. The shiny bottle floated on the river stream as she sipped down the water, and as curious as she was, she couldn’t leave it be. Silver let out a sigh as she caught the bottle yet again, she gazed at the letter that was inside as she drifted off in her thoughts. She was kind of curious what was written on the letter, she really was, but something was holding her back from opening it. it felt like she would have to do something if she did, and that was reason enough for her not to open it.


“Stupid bottle, don’t stare at me like I have to open you.” Silver growled to the bottle as she turned it around in her hand. She raised up her hand as she threw the bottle down on the ground, a sound of breaking glass could be heard as the bottle scattered to pieces. Silver gazed down at the scattered bottle before she rested her head against the tree trunk again, she wasn’t going to read that paper. As Silver began to slowly doze off again a strong wind almost blew her out of the tree, she bolded up as she grabbed hold of the tree branch she laid on as she was wide awake. The wind began to settle down as she released the branch and looked around her, when she was about to lay back down again she notice something on her lap.


“You can’t be serious!” Silver hissed as she reached out her arm and grabbed the piece of paper that laid on her lap, she looked down beside her at the shattered bottle as she notice the letter was gone.


“Fine! Then we will do it your way!” Silver said defeated as she unfolded the paper she was now holding and began to read…


“What is this?” Silver gasped as she was done reading the letter while she was staring at it with widened eyes, who wrote this letter? And how did they know her name? was this some kind of joke?! Silver inspected the letter closer as she saw a map attracted to it. She inspected the map for a while before she let out a annoyed sound as she crumpled the paper and shoved it into her bag. No matter what this was or why she got it, she wasn’t going to do it, she had better things to do. Like nothing for example. With that Silver turned around as she went to sleep. She wasn’t scared of the fact that she was being watched, nor was she afraid of those hunters that would come after her, she would deal with it somehow.

 

[dragonslayr]

Romi laughed and downed another ale, relishing the burn of her throat as she swallowed. One man gaped at her and leaned back in his chair, surrendering. "All right, you win," he said, begrudgingly handing her a small pouch of coins.


She snatched it and counted it out, making sure she hadn't been swindled, and clapped him on the back. "No hard feelings, right?" She chuckled a little before standing up to go. The man grunted and ordered another drink from the bartender, avoiding eye contact with the men around him who were laughing. She entered the room at the top of the stairs and slumped into a chair in the corner, sighing. Then, she pried off her boots, her extra travelling stuff, and her coin purse and placed them all in a set of drawers. A piece of paper on the window caught her attention.


After scanning through it a couple of times, she huffed and began collecting her supplies. Though I have really no one important to me, this guy sounds interesting, she thought as she pulled her boots back on and threw her cloak over her shoulders. Finally, she grabbed her daggers, put them in a belt around her waist, and slung her bow over her torso, along with the quiver full of arrows that she just restocked. Down in the bar, she nodded at the innkeeper and said, "I guess I won't be needing the room for tonight. However, I expect you to pay me back for it!" At that, she went out into the dark street, covered her head with her hood, and followed the map to these 'ruins'.

 

[ScoutNoProblemo]

With the refusal of Silver, a small high pitched noise fled through the air. Intensely getting louder and louder until the noise became an object. The sound was very high pitched like a whistle of sorts. The sound tuned to the shape of an arrow with a special gap in the head and with a loud thunk, it stuck on the side of the tree, a few centimeters from Silver. A note seemed to be attached to it as it unroll upon impact of the arrow noting, "I won't miss next time."

 

[Lanadjury]

Silver shot up in shock as something crashed in the tree, Silver fell out of the tree as she landed on the ground. She let out a loud curse as she painfully wiped the sour spot she fell on. She looked up at the tree to see what had hit it. her eyes went wide as she saw an arrow stuck into the tree not an inch away from where she was sleeping.


“That was close.” She gasped as she climbed back into the tree and inspected the arrow, there was a note attached to it.


"I won't miss next time." Was written on it, Silver shivered as she gazed at the text, what kind of sick joke was this! That could have killed her! Silver pulled the arrow out of the tree as she began to inspect the area around her, but she didn’t see anyone, nor did she smell or hear something. She didn’t like this, not one bit. She laid the arrow down on her lap as she searched her back and grabbed hold of the paper she found inside the bottle. She unfolded the paper as she laid it next to the note that was attached to the arrow, the writing was the same.


“So we are going to play it this way huh?” Silver mumbled to herself as she gazed at the two notes on her lap.


“Very well then, challenge accepted!” Silver hissed as she cramped the arrow and the notes inside her small bag, jumped out of the tree while she shifted to her beast form. “I’m going to make you regret shooting that arrow at me!” She then roared as he dashed off in the dark night.

 

[Dovahkiin]

"So, let me repeat this so maybe you can understand how ridiculous this sounds," Freya said, rubbing the bone between her eyes with her index finger and thumb, eyes closed. "You want me to kill your brother because he supposedly stole your horse, even though you've never found any evidence to prove it. And for a measly 100 coins." She opened her eyes to look at the orc, who looked like he was one second away from passing out drunk as he blinked slowly, wobbled from side to side, and nodded. Sighing, she stood and allowed her hand to fall back down to her side. "Tell ya what. Put to use some of those coins and get yourself a room. Sleep all those ales off."


She gave a nod of parting and started off towards the pub's exit, but not before having her elbow caught by the orc. Half-turning to flash him a glance, she snaked her arm from his grasp. "I mean it." She continued on towards the door and soon slipped outside, gladly embracing the coolness the night had brought along with its arrival... until it happened to smack something on her face.


Reaching up, she gripped the object hastily to see it was at first a piece of paper, but then, upon closer inspection, came to find it as a letter. Her eyes skimmed over its words, and a single suspicious brow raised. "For something so simple, it seems awfully important," she muttered, reading over the letter once more before stuffing it into her satchel. "All right, mystery letter. I'm intrigued." And with that, she started off towards the ruins, mind all the while popping ideas of what could possibly happen upon arrival.

 

[Mademoiselle]

Heads turned and then knotted together as Adriana entered the room. Her garments were of a harlot and if not were for the circumstances of her target, she would’ve covered herself more appropriately. “Scandalous” and “Who does she think she is walking in like that, in a party like this?” were heard in loud whispers as the faerie strode forward. Adriana rolled her eyes; humans were the only downside of their events. The food was delicious and the entertainment was quite grand, if only their mouths were smaller. She reached the beverage table and felt a hand at her lower waist. The Adriana turned around and smiled when she saw who the hand touching her belonged to. Bingo.


William Kershaw was a wealthy human merchant and Adriana’s current target. Kershaw stood around 5’8’’ with a slight belly, chestnut hair and dark brown eyes that seemed black. He had apparently crossed some line with the wrong person, which is why by the end of the end of the night he would be dead. He was ruthless, treated his workers horribly and liked flirting with women (sometimes he did more than flirt) even though he was married. Judging by the merchant’s history, the faerie wouldn’t feel very guilty of what she was going to cause.


As the merchants hand slid lower Adriana fought the grimace crawling to her face with a fake smile. “Good Evening m’lady. My name’s William Kershaw, I saw you and couldn’t help but notice you looked quite lonely. So I decided to come to keep you some company.” He grabbed one of her hands and kissed it. “Good evening, sir. I’m Ana Truscott. What a gentleman, my companion was supposed to be at the entrance but didn’t show. I’m new here, so I don’t really know anyone.” Faeries couldn’t lie so what she was saying was technically true. Darcy, her “boss” was supposed to meet her but had to travel to Skellix since someone’s mission was going bad. Adriana could be shortened to Ana and the man who raised her had the surname of Truscott, so she could be called that. Plus, she had just arrived to Cloud City and she didn’t know any humans here. Loopholes were such fun at times. “Oh, well lucky for you, and me, that he couldn’t make it” said Kershaw with a glint in his eyes.


After some time of flirting, Adriana left with the merchant to his home. His wife was in a trip to Altics, the faerie had made sure of that. It was late already and the staff probably wouldn’t bother their boss. Adriana had already paid the few staff people that had seen her leave the party and would be around Kershaw’s house. When the merchant showed her around his house and up to his room, she had a fake look of awe. His room was spacious with posh decorations, a king sized canopy bed and a chandelier. Perfect. As soon as the bedroom door was closed and securely locked, just in case, Adriana began taking her cloak and scarf off. Kershaw sat on his bed with a smug look on his face. She let the cloak fall to the floor but still held on to her scarf as she walked seductively towards him. He didn’t notice the dagger on her hand until it was too late.


The faerie quickly and skillfully tied the merchant’s hands before he could react. He stared at her with wide eyes that then narrowed with anger, he started to speak but she cut him off. “If you move, you will regret it. And don’t bother screaming, I bought everyone off.” She raised the knife to his throat and drew some blood so he understood; the pained sound coming from his throat told her that he did. “You’re the huntress, aren’t you? I heard about you but never believed the rumors. I think you misunderstood me for some other man” Adriana shook her head as she tugged at the canopy curtain. “You confirmed your name was William Kershaw at the party and you fit into the description, so I don’t think so.” The curtain fell and she walked back to the man. “What are you going to do with that?” he asked while watching her tie the rope into a knot. “Well, it seems like you’re a pain in the ass to someone, so they sent me to deal with you.” He widened his eyes and started to sprint towards the door when Adriana grabbed him. She pressed the spot on his neck and he fainted. She attached the curtain to the chandelier and arranged a lightweight ottoman bellow the hanging curtain with a loop at the end. She slapped the merchants face until he woke up.


Kershaw had the loop around his neck and Adriana tightened it when she saw him wake up. She jumped off the ottoman and pushed it. The human was left hanging. He struggled for a bit then abruptly stopped. Adriana checked on his pulse and nodded when she felt that he was dead. She grabbed her things and left a note on his bed. When someone opened it, they would believe Kershaw had committed suicide. Now just whats left to do was write a letter to Darcy and collect her money.


Adriana arrived back at the inn she was staying and when she walked in, someone bumped into her. She was about to tell him something when she felt something on her hand. She walked normally back to her room and locked the door behind her. She opened the paper and read the message written on it. When she finished, she sighed. The faerie would’ve not cared if someone threatened to kill her. But she cared for her group; they were like a family to her. Adriana changed into her normal/traveling clothes and set off at once to the location of the ruins.

ScoutNoProblemo updated Journey with a new update entry:


Update #1

Teresa or "Alphaba" is kicked for idling.


With that said the show must go on!

​

Read the rest of this update entry... 
The black night soon was replaced with a foggy morning for the travelers. Their own hands, not to be seen in front of their face. Though it would get worse as the progressed to the ruins. Each would have to go through a gnarly cave. Filled with unexplored animals. As they couldn't see, the travelers that came from Talismer happened to bump into each other, quite literally

 

[TGrape]

Elan was shaking visibly, both from fear and from the chilly atmosphere that the fog had brought. He had only brought his dancing skirt and a light jacket as clothing as he never wore much else in the warm forests of Cloud City. He was beginning to regret that decision now. Every few steps he was forced to come to a standstill to hold the map to his face so that he could read it.


Why do I even bother? It isn't like I can even see any noticeable landmarks in this fog. I could perform my sun dance! But that would only last so long in a fog as thick as this and I would just be wasting energy. Besides, it's too early in the morning for the sun to be completely risen anyway.





Elan continued to carefully shuffle along, praying to any god above that he didn't run in to anything. He eventually gave up on the map completely and simply trusted that he was headed the right way. As soon as he finished his first general prayer to all the gods above, he ran into a wall made of rock. He stumbled back and wiped any dirt off his face. He reached out and touched the wall. His heart lightened. The gods have heard my prayer!





Carefully, Elan began feeling his way around the all, following it for as long as it would go. About thirty angel wings away, for this was the way angels measured anything, he found a small opening in the wall, an entrance to a cave. It was dark. Elan checked his map and sure enough there was a cave marked for him to enter. Closing his eyes and praying yet again for safety, Elan took a deep breath and ducked into the cave.


Inside, Elan heard many frightening and curious sounds. In the darkness Elan tried to remain composed and worked to get out of the cave as quickly as possible. The farther he went the lighter it became, although there was no end in sight as of yet. He bit his tongue to not scream when his foot sunk into something wet and squishy. He quickly pulled it out and a sickening squish followed. Elan fought to not throw up and hurried farther along. Finally he reached a cavern with a large opening in the roof to let in fresh sunlight. Elan decided to sit down and rest in the middle of the room. As he sat he heard a sharp growl behind him.


Frightened near to death, Elan slowly turned his head around to see what the source of the sound was. Behind him in a pose ready to attack was what looked like a panther, but with scales instead of fur, and large black bat-like wings. Elan's eyes opened wide, he felt all of his insides pressing their way up his throat and he abruptly fainted with one last thought. I hope my death is quick.

 

[Lanadjury]

Silver gazed down at the map into her hands, she narrowed her eyes as she tried to see what was on it, but she almost couldn’t make something out of it. The thick fog that had been around since she had awoken from her small power nap on the way here at least, made it hard for her to see even her own hand, so let alone what was written on the map. Silver growled softly as she put the map away and looked up at the cliff before her, the black stone made it at least a little visible in this fog. But where was she supposed to go now? As far as she remembered the map she had to go here, right through the cliff. Which smartass made this map? Was the thought that went through Silver’s mind as she walked up to the black colored cliff and placed her hands on the cold rock to feel if there was some way to either get in or to climb over it. If she was honest, she was so done with this already, she didn’t wanted to go all the way here and do all this. It already was way to troublesome, and a lot of work.


“There we go.” Silver then smiled to herself as she found a small gap inside the black cliff, she inspected the gap to see if she could work with it. The narrow and jagged cave entrance was small, but just big enough for her to fit in. She had to watch her steps, but it would work out somehow, she just had to be careful. Silver grabbed hold of the rocky wall as she placed one feet inside the gap, she turned her head around as she gazed outside one last time. Silver took a deep breath in before she made her way into the dark cave, If she was honest with herself, she was curious where this cave would lead her. It had been a long time since she felt like this.


As Silver made her way further and further inside the cave she took back her words, she wasn’t curious anymore, she just wanted to get out! this cave was driving her insane! The path she was walking didn’t make any sense at all, it felt like the path was somehow… changing. She raised her head as she sniffed in the air around her, if she wanted to get out of this cave she would need to rely on all her senses, especial her beast one. She closed her eyes as she let the scents around her in. She haled her steps, totally focusing on her sense of smell. When she, after a while, finally found a trail she followed it without hesitation, she would see what it was later. She crawled and bended her way through the cave, the sharp parts of rock drilled into her skin as she walked forwards. Blood dripped out as they made scars on her body, but she didn’t care, she just wanted to get out, she would lick the wounds later. The scent got stronger as she kept moving forwards, she moved on and on until a overjoyed smile made its way on her face. she saw light! It was faint but it was light! She dashed up to it as she didn’t paid any attention to her surroundings. But she was quickly snapped out of it as she heard a loud terrifying sound, she halted her steps as she hid herself behind a part of the wall. Her eyes widened as she saw two bright white wings underneath the sunlight, they were attached to a boy with white hair as he was only wearing a skirt as clothing. Looking at his skirt she began doubting her statement, it was a boy right?. Silver was about to walk up to him carefully, but she froze as she notice a second being, this one was black with bat-like wings. She placed herself back behind the wall as she waited for what would happen, she wasn’t stupid enough to go there with that beast around. She saw the winged boy eyes widened as he began to wobble on his spot, before she know it the boy fell backwards, to the hard ground. Did he faint?! Silver watched the beast let out a roar as it headed to the boy, she bit her lip as she saw the beast close in on him. How she was going to regret her decision! Silver came out of her hiding spot as she ran towards the beast, she changed to her beast form as she bared her fangs and launched herself at the beast. The beats let out a pained cry as she drilled her fangs into his neck and locked her jaws, the beast began to move randomly as he tried to shake her off. Silver was slammed against the wall a few times before she let go of the beast and landed on the ground on her feet, she wheezed in pain as blood dripped form her fangs. She readied herself for the next action of the beast as she raised her lip and bared her fangs while growling, but the beast didn’t come. It let out a cry as it fled in one of the dark halls of the cave, a quite filled the room as Silver didn’t dare to gaze away from the hall. But as time passed and nothing happened Silver let down her guard and let out a deep breath.


“Thank the gods.” Silver huffed relieved as she began to shiver on her spot, she hadn’t been this scared in a long time, what was she even thinking going against it?! Silvers ears perked up as she hear a sound from behind her, what was it this time?!

 

[TGrape]

Elan came to, perhaps reluctantly as he was sure he had moved on into the after life. Opening his eyes, however, revealed that he was still very much a part of this realm and that the terrifying creature had left...to be replaced with another large cat of some kind, wonderful.


Since there wasn't really enough room to fly away from the beast, Elan quickly backed up against a wall and, once again, began praying feverishly. He even began yelling at the cat.


"Don't eat me! Please, angels are known for being stringy and awful to eat. Plus, you might risk eternal damnation." Because a murderous leopard is going to be worried about its afterlife, wonderful thinking, Elan.


Elan froze against the wall and stared at the animal across from him, they locked eyes. Elan gulped.

 

[Lanadjury]

Silver raised a brow as she heard the angel beg for his life while he sat frozen against the wall of the cave. Silver locked her eyes with that of the angel as she didn’t move or say anything, he was shaking on his spot in fear as he gazed back into her eyes.


“Pfff!” Silver snorted before she broke out into a uncontrollable laughter, she couldn’t hold it anymore! his reaction was so funny!


“You really think I’m going to eat you?!” Silver laughed as she sat down on her butt on the rocky ground, she raised her paw before her mouth, she just couldn’t stop laughing.


“Sorry to bring it to you, but I don’t eat human like beings.” Silver chuckled as she began to get a hold of herself again and raised to her feet. As she did she let out a pained growl as she felt a sharp pain into her head which caused her paws to sag in. The pain from the hits she received from fighting that beast just now began to kick in. Silver let herself slide down on the ground as she let out a pained growl, she was dizzy, this wasn’t good.

The laughter did nothing to alleviate Elan's fears. However, when the great animal slid to the ground his care for others took control. He quickly ran over to the creature and carefully examined its body. There were several embedded rocks and scratches, both deep and shallow, most likely from being slammed against the wall, he began to realize that this creature must have fought off the bat-cat-dragon thing from earlier.


"Did you save me? It doesn't really matter now, but thank you. If you can hear me, you took a lot of damage, but I have some medical supplies in my bag." He quickly reached into his satchel and grabbed the medical paste and gauze his grandmother had placed inside.


"Now this paste is going to sting, that'll be the alcohol, but I need you to not fight me on this, you could get an infection otherwise. Okay? I'm going to apply it on the count of 3, 1..2..3!" With a small prayer, he quickly slathered the paste on the deepest scratch that ran from the neck to the shoulder, and pressed the gauze down on it tight.

Silver laid down, unable to move at the moment as she heard the angel talk to her. His words made some sense to her but not everything he said was getting to her, her head wasn’t that clear anymore. Silver’s sight was blurry but she could see him move around her, he was close to her, and she didn’t like that, but there was nothing she could do about it. Silver closed her eyes for a moment as she tried to rest, she needed to safe her energy until she was strong enough to lick her wounds. The boy seemed harmless enough at least so that was good. She didn’t trust him, but she hadn’t much options now than to do a little. The angel began to speak again, Silver perked her ears, she still didn’t get much of what he was saying but a few words made sense. Going to sting, alcohol, fight and infection, that where the words she understood. What was going to sting? What was he talking abo-? Silver’s eyes widened from the painful stinging she felt, she shock and began to struggle, she jumped up from the pain on her neck and shoulder as she threw the boy’s hand of her body as she stumbled a few steps away from him with one paw lifted. But her body didn’t last long as it directly sagged in again and fell to the ground, Silver let out squeaking sounds as she raised her lips so her fangs would show, she was in pain, and to make it worse, her mind began to slip away. She couldn’t get away.

Elan had expected her to fight, but he didn't expect to be thrown near across the cavern. The beast had thrashed wildly after he had applied the paste, it had even tried to get up and walk away, but had sadly slumped into the ground once again. It made a few painful sounds as its eyes closed. As Elan cautiously made his way towards the great cat he noticed its large fangs protruding from its lips. He froze, but unfortunately his need to help overrode his self-preservation.


Elan sighed and kneeled next to the beast and carefully placed some gauze across the great animal's scratch. Perhaps I put too much paste in that wound. He continued to dress the other major scratches across the animal's body and applied small amounts of the paste that may not be as effective but would still be more help than harm.


Finally, he rummaged through his bag and found a rabbit his grandmother had killed and preserved for him, even though he rarely touched meat. He placed the rabbit near the cat's mouth and backed away. Finally finished, Elan sat across the cavern from the great animal and began to dance, no dance in particular, just a small jig to get his mind off of the dangerous creature that he had just helped heal.

 

[Lanadjury]

Silver began to slowly open her eyes again, she took a few deep breaths in and out without moving her body. The wounds didn’t hurt that much as they did before, how long did she pass out? she didn’t know, but it must have been a while. Silver was snapped out of her thoughts as her nose picked up a delicious sent, Silver began sniffed around, she moved her head a little to the direction of where the sent came from. Her eyes locked on a dead rabbit that laid on the ground close to her. She stared at it for a while, a loud grumbling sound escaped her stomach as the smell of the dead rabbit hung around her, she didn’t notice she was this hungry. Silver grabbed hold of the rabbit with her paws as she gluttonous began to rip off the pieces of meat of the bones, totally forgetting anything that was happening beside her. As she had almost completely devoured the carcass she finally notice the small tapping sounds that echoed through this part of the cave, she perked her ears as she looked up as she saw the angel boy, he was on the other side from the space then she was, he was making small dance like moves. He was totally lost into his little dance. Silver tilted her head to the side before she began to speak. “What are you doing?”

 

[TGrape]

Without missing a beat Elan responded, "Dancing." For while he danced, nothing could distract Elan, not fear, not wild monsters, there was only the rhythm of his steps as he moved. He gracefully swayed towards the great cat, eyes wide open and friendly.


"Would you like to join me? I can always use a partner."

 

[Lanadjury]

Silver gazed up at the now fearless angel, she didn’t expect him to be so open all of a sudden. It was like she was gazing at another person then before, even his aura was calm and composed.


“Neh, I will pass.” Silver then huffed as she turned away her gaze while she raised to her feet and took a step back, she didn’t like him coming closer to her, it was uncomfortable.


“But thanks, I mean for treating my wounds. That was your doing right?” Silver then said as she looked up at him and locked her eyes with that of his.

 

[TGrape]

"Sure was! And you're very welcome, it's my pleasure to help another living being." He continued to sway and weave as he stared at the animal. "You're obviously not any normal animal. Well, if you won't be my dance partner, would you mind accompanying me on my journey?" And he promptly turned towards the exit of the cavern and began waltzing down the passageway without waiting for a reply.

 

[Lanadjury]

Silvers eyes followed every movement of the angel as he said is sentence while dancing around, she let out a loud growl as she stopped following him with her gaze and looked at the ground. His dancing was giving her an headache, but on his question she already knew the answer, she know that it wasn’t wise to travel alone in this cave so tagging along for a little while won’t hurt her. Especially in the state she was now.


“Fine, I will accom-” Silver began but when she looked up she saw him dance away into one of the halls. “HEY YOU! You’re not even going to wait?!” Silver shouted angry at him as she raised to her paws and dashed after him, that was just rude! He could at least way for an answer!

As Romi walked down the winding path that seemed to be leading far away from any civilization and pulled out a torch she took from the inn. The fog was a dense wall, rearing up on all sides of her like a cage, not helping the fact that t was already so dark. Her torch barely lit up the ground in front of her and if it weren't for her elven side, she'd be tripping on everything that passed under her feet. In her other hand, she was gripping one of her daggers and holding it in front of her, wary of anything that might jump out at her.


Finally, a tall cliff broke the fog and, near the base, was a small hole that must have been a cave, as the map said to keep going. She approached it carefully and shone the torch inside, revealing a rather large, rocky cavern. Some rather loud noises were coming from farther in and she saw condensation covering the walls. Taking a deep breath, she made her way inside and tried to follow the course of the map to the best of her abilities.

Adriana rubbed her eyes as she cursed at the spirits. She had a short power nap and then sent a letter to Darcy on the last town she passed informing him of what had happened (with the merchant and the letter). The faerie grinned as she could see Darcy's expression when he read her letter. The elf and the faerie had bonded over the time he had started training her, they both had crazy families so they came close. Now, they were like brother and sister, and when Adriana sometimes went and did things her way (usually recklessly), Darcy became mad and insanely annoyed. Now her telling him that she was going to some ruins and that she'd see him soon, she had a thought cross her mind that made her grin widen. Who said sisters weren't made to annoy?





The faerie entered the cave to find it dark. She tried to look at the map for info, but there were sounds near and they seemed easier to follow. Her ears might be pointy but that didn't make her hearing bad. The faerie was satisfied that when she arrived, sure enough there was the way out. She catched the last part of the conversation between the angel and the animal to find they were on a journey. Huh. She waited until they were out to silently leave as well.
