Fantasy Journey

Freya squinted in an attempt to peer through the fog, much against her avail, and gave a half-sigh half-yawn. Now feeling the consequences of staying up all night, she removed a hand from the map to rub the wary from her eyes, and when she opened them once more, she halted, finding herself halfway in the entrance of a cave. She glanced at the map, smiling lightly. Well, that's... convenient. She carried on inside, throwing the map an occasional look or two to make sure she was following it correctly, glad the fog hadn't drifted its way into the cave too severely. However, considering how dark it was, she could still hardly see. With vision nearly knocked out, she relied on her other senses to navigate.


Skimming a hand along the cave's mossy, damp walls, Freya heard the distant murmur of what sounded like voices somewhere within the cave, and became curious. She, equipped with a new sense of determination on finding the noises' source, followed after the sounds to the best of her ability with a focus so intent it was her downfall. The blunt contact of her and someone else's shoulder made her stumble, muttering a quick apology before springing back to see who she'd managed to run into. Why she didn't see the bright flames of the torch beforehand was unknown to her, and she mentally cursed herself for not being more aware. The light of the torch gleamed on the object she held in her other hand, and Freya studied it for a moment before her brows furrowed, and she drew a sword of her own. "Who are you?"
 
As the Elan and Silver progress through the cave, they start to hear a sound like embers sparking in the distance. Little did they know it was actually a mystical barrier blocking off the exit to the cave. But something was off about this cave as it actually DID change, leading to others being lost.
 
Without speaking a word to the angel again Silver followed after him on a ‘safe’ distance. Silver’s ears moved to all sides as she could hear different sounds inside the cave, it was making her restless and she didn’t like it, how she wished she could get out of this cave. Silver gazed around her as she inspected the walls they passed carefully with her sharp eyes, that were able to see really well in the darkness of the cave. They had been walking around for a while inside the cave, and not much chanced no matter how much they walked. Something was off, she just know, but she couldn’t place her finger on it. Silver suddenly stopped in her tracks as she raised her head up at the pointy rocks on the sides of the cave wall, her eyes widened as she gazed at the tips of this rocks before she let out a angry growl, she knew it!


“Hold up white guy!” Silver roared at the angel. “Something is off.”
 
Elan slowly stopped dancing, landing gracefully on his left foot and holding that position before slowly bringing his other foot next to it. Then he began giggling.


"Sorry about that, it's how I relax. I go by Elan by the way. And what's wrong?" He followed the beast's gaze upwards. On the ceiling of the cave he only saw the stalagmites, or was it stalactites?, he could never remember. They were sharp and menacing, Elan's thoughts filled with images of one going straight through his skull. Other than the gut wrenching thoughts he couldn't tell that anything was wrong with them.


Then he heard something, a crackling, like the dying flames in his grandmother's hearth.


"Do you hear that?"
 
Silver perked her ears as she listened to the sound, but it was no different than the sound she already heard way before him, seems like he only noticed the sound now.


“Yeah I heard that, you didn’t notice? The sounds has been around for a little while now.” Silver huffed ignoring the things he said before as she turned back her attention to the large pointy rocks.


“But we have bigger things to worry about.” Silver then growled as she signed him to look at the sharp points of the rocks, some of the points had small traced of blood on it.


“That is my blood.” Silver then said gazing at the angel with an serious expression. “We are walking in circles.”
 
Fear shot through Elan. Walking in circles? But the tunnel had only been one long continuous passage, he never sensed that his movement was going around, it had always felt as though he was going straight ahead.


"But...but that's impossible! We've been walking a straight line this entire time! How could this happen? Do you think it's magic? Maybe we should just leave now. What if we're trapped forever? I don't have enough food for eternity!" Elan slumped to his knees in despair. "We're doomed."
 
Something snapped inside of Silver as she saw the angel guy despaired, kneeled on the ground before her, what was wrong with that guy?! Without thinking Silver stomped up to the angel while shifting to her human form, she grabbed hold of his white hair as she lifted him up, back on his feet. Silver shot him an deadly glare with her light grey eyes as she raised her other hand and slapped him into his face.


“Could you please shut up! Be a man! Get a hold of yourself!” Silver shouted angry as she released his hair while giving him a little push, she turned back into her beast form and walked away from him. She really was pissed off right now! Of course she felt a little scared too, but that isn’t a reason to just give in to it. If they did, they would never get out. “Panicking isn’t going to solve anything! So help me find a way out! or just keep whining over there and die.”
 
((I'm back!!))


Romi had been going for a while before stopping for a quick look at her map, to make sure she was going in the right direction. She hadn't run into any issues so far, but she did keep hearing the murmur of voices in the distance. Suddenly, someone ran into her, causing her to jump and drop the map. She picked it up and sized up the new person, noting that she looked like a warrior, as she had a large sword and a shield. When the person drew her sword, Romi tensed up, expecting a fight.


"Who are you?" The person asked.


Romi narrowed her eyes, becoming cautious and said, "Who is asking?"
 
Elan blinked after the shapeshifter yelled at him. He knew she was right. He had to do something to help, sitting here wallowing was not the right thing to do. He stood up.


"Okay." And he began dancing gently, just enough to focus his thoughts. "That's better. Alright, I believe we have a couple of options. One, we could backtrack and see if anything changes, two, we could sit here and wait for someone, or something, to appear, or three, follow the voices up ahead." He turned around facing the direction that the voices were coming from, wondering who else could be in this cave, and why.
 
Silver let out a deep sign as she saw the angel guy dancing again, it was distracting her because the sounds of his steps kept pestering her sensitive ears. There were already a lot of sounds inside the cave, and it was making her restless. But as she saw him calm down as he did his little dance, she didn’t say anything. She would let it slide for now, she liked him better dancing than being all whiny and scared.


"That's better. Alright, I believe we have a couple of options. One, we could backtrack and see if anything changes, two, we could sit here and wait for someone, or something, to appear, or three, follow the voices up ahead." Silver sat down as she heard the angel give her the options, he sure was right, more options than those three they didn’t had. Option two was definitely the worse of all, so that one she wasn’t even going to consider. Then what was left was one or three, Silver sat lost in thoughts as she considered the options she had left. And no matter how much she hated it, three sounded like the best. How lucky she was, more people! Silver let out a annoyed growl before she sighed in defeat.


“We will take option three.” Silver then said soft and unwilling as she began to walk up to the angel. “But if we find someone in here, I’m not going to socialize with them you hear.” Silver said with an dark expression in her eyes as she locked eyes with him. “You on the other hand can do what you want, but speak to them and I’m gone. Now get moving, I want to get out of here.” And with that Silver walked past him in the direction of where the sounds of the voices where coming from. How she wished she was sleeping into a nice big tree right now.
 
Well to ignore whomever was up ahead seemed rather rude. But, Elan had already gotten to know this girl, even if she was a bit hostile. He watched as she strode past him towards the voices up ahead.


If they were friendly then he certainly didn't want to just ignore them to satisfy this girl. But if they were evil then they'd be fighting as soon as they got there, and Elan wouldn't have the choice of fainting again. Elan decided right then that if whatever was up ahead talked to him first he would have to talk back to them, even if that meant losing his...partner?
 
Freya frowned, her grip on her sword unconsciously tightening as the woman questioned Freya's identity, mentally debating if she should answer her or not. "Freya Ravencrone," she replied with some reluctance, then, after a moment, added, "I'm not looking for trouble." Allowing her gaze to fall back down to the woman's hands, she noticed she held a map, one that looked incredibly similar to the one she'd been given along with the letter. Is it a coincidence? Her expression contorted with something akin to concentration as she delved in thought, but, remembering the situation she was in, quickly ripped herself from it. "And you are? Did the one from the letter send you?"
 
Romi thought about whether she should give her name or not and decided sense this 'Freya' gave her her name, she would return the courtesy. "The name's Romi Mildmourn, and I would hope that you're not looking for trouble." She thought about the weird second question for a moment before realizing what Freya was talking about. "Yes, I received a letter from a mysterious man, along with this map, directing me to some ruins. Why? Come to think of it, why are you even in here?"
 
Adriana ditched the angel and the shapeshifter when she realized they were walking in circles. She heard some voices the other way and decided to find out what these people were up to. Couldn't make a difference since the ones she was following were going the wrong way.


When the faerie got to the scene, she narrowed her eyes. Two other women, one with a sword who introduced herself as Freya and the other who introduced herself as Romi, and they all were in this same trip. Could it be? She sighed and stepped forward while sheathing her dagger so the two of them could see her. "Unless it's Journey season, I think I'm in the same thing as you guys are in. Got a letter and a map too. Do any of you know who this person is and why she or he called us? Because I'm missing out on my job and let me tell you I hate losing money."

Freya sheathed her sword as the woman, who became known to her as Romi, spoke. She opened her mouth to reply, but quickly found the words hitched in her throat as another woman made her appearance seemingly out of nowhere. Instinctively, her hand flew to the hilt of her sword. The words she spoke, however, caused Freya to allow her hand to slip back to her side, throwing a glance at Romi before her gaze cut back to the other woman. That makes three of us... Are there others? "Looks like we're all headed the same way, then," she said. "I'm not sure who this mystery person is, either, but whatever their reason is to drag us to these ruins, I'd say it's worth knowing."
 
Silver had been walking for a little while now together with the angel as they followed the voices they heard. Silver suddenly halted her steps as she hid herself inside the shadows, seems like they found the sources of the voices faster then she had thought. Silver warned the angel with her tail as she gazed ahead, she saw three women further up ahead, all armed with weapons and all with serious expressions on there faces, the mood seemed tense around them. Silver looked behind her as she gazed at the angel from the corner of her eyes, waiting for him to make his move. Silver lowered her ears a little into her neck as she remembered well enough what she said herself. She knew that the angel wasn’t going to stay quiet like she was planning to, he wasn’t that kind of person, he wasn’t like her. He was way to kind to just ignore someone, she was almost certain that he would go if he was sure they weren’t dangerous. That was the kind of image she had of him at least. She knew, but why did she feel a little disappointed somehow, that she was going to be left behind. Silver shook her head as she forced away her conflicted feelings as she focused on what she was doing, she needed to get out, that was all, so why did she worry about this.
 
Elan saw the group of women up ahead, and he thought about his options. All of the women up ahead had weapons and were complete strangers. His, friend?, at least he had been traveling with for a little while. Unfortunately, Elan didn't do well with making decisions like this, he preferred everything to be decided for him, perhaps this is why his grandmother was so happy for him to go on this journey. He had to make a decision and now.


He decided to keep quiet and crouch down next to his giant beast of a partner.
 
Silver’s eyes widened in surprise a little as she notice the angel crouch down next to her, she didn’t see that one coming, she had expected him to try and start a conversation with the women at least. But on the other hand it wasn’t really smart to walk up to armed people without thinking twice, and she was sure he was smart enough to think that to. That was probably the reason for him to stay by her side. But deep down she had to amid, that she was a little happy, just a little!. Silver turned back her attention to the three women as she carefully moved forwards little by little as she tried to get closer to the three women, she wanted to find out what they were going to do now, and what they were doing here in the first place. Silver perked her ears and focused her eyes as she stepped forwards. But as she placed down her paw she froze on her spot, a small pebble she stepped on caused a soft sound to make his way from underneath her paw as soon as she stepped on it. this wasn’t good, this wasn’t good at all.
 
Romi narrowed her eyes at the woman who came out of the shadows. She gripped her right handed dagger tighter and, unlike Freya, decided to keep it out. It wasn't one of her instincts to trust someone enough to put her weapon away. The newcomer seemed to have been there for at least a little, probably enough to have heard their names.


"Unless it's Journey season, I think I'm in the same thing as you guys are in. Got a letter and a map too. Do any of you know who this person is and why she or he called us? Because I'm missing out on my job and let me tell you I hate losing money," the woman said, leaving Romi slightly astonished. There is another person on this quest? Something strange is going on, she thought.


Freya glanced at Romi, then back at the woman, before saying that we were all headed the same way, and that she didn't know who the mystery person was.


"My guess is that he - or she - wants us to meet for some reason," Romi added. "And I agree with Freya; it's definitely worth finding out more about these ruins." She turned to the new person. "You already know who we are, since you knew about what we were talking about. What's your n-" She stopped at the small sound coming from the shadows. She whirled around, waving her dagger, and said, "Who's there? Come out, now!"
 
Silver cursed to herself as she heard one of the women speak as she had her head turned their way, Silver took a step back deeper into the shadows, just her luck, they heard her! Silver searched her minds for options, but she couldn’t find any at all. She couldn’t run away, with those chancing halls she could be lost forever. But revealing herself was not an option either! She didn’t trust any of the women out there, this was looking bad. Silver took a deep breath in as she tried to get a hold of herself, in her state even the very existents from the angel was slipping from her mind, she couldn’t stand being cornered! Silver began to wheeze softly as her head became fuzzy, her mind went blank as her instinct took over, causing Silver to go into protection mode. She bared her fangs as the fur on her back raised up, she let out warning growls as she walked out of the shadows with a stalking movement.
 
Elan's heart was racing. His partner was being threatened, one of the women had pulled knife on her. But more than that, she was looking kind of strange. She began walking with a more calculated and cautious step. He really didn't like any of this. He began warming up his body in case he needed to use any magic. Slowly, Elan began stretching his legs and sides. If he had to he could use his shield magic to surround the woman, or his partner, one or the other. Or he could summon a ghost warrior to restrain someone. He wasn't looking forward to either option.
 
((Okay I found something to post with))


Not only was the cave conspicuous towards circling, the two groups were stuck until they had joined together as one until the curse of the cave was revealed and the magic barrier would show.
