Trickster's Champion

[Ricia]

"Hmm that is a shame. Mind if we join you for dinner? This forest is not safe to be alone, special with a child." Gato said.


"We have supplies we can share." Lina said politely.


Sage didn't know how much of that was a good idea.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"we arent alone... we can call Kai and big brother Kat will be home soon," she signed not that anyone but Sage could understand her.

 

[Ricia]

Sage signed back to Fae that she doesn't want to give Kat away, so that was why she didn't bother saying he was about. Also that Kai didn't need to get involved yet.


"What.. are you two doing?" Lina asked. She sounded more curious then demanding. Which didn't make Sage prickle any.


"My sister here is mute... so we have a language we can speak in with each other." Sage told the women.


"Fascinating... that is amazing really." Lina said rubbing her chin lightly.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"So you talk with your hands?" Jorge asked he was a tight person and he just looked unfriendly but he was still annoyed at their bird.


Fae looked at the hunters and then Jorge to whom she stuck out her tongue.

 

[Ricia]

Sage chuckled a bit, "Ah. Yeah. It's a language with our hands."


"Where did you learn it? What is it called?" Lina asked interested.


"Ah.. it's called sign language... and uh.. it's ancient forgotten knowledge." Sage said nodding her head. Nailed it.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Ancient knowlage? how would you learn that?" Jorge asked.

 

[Ricia]

"My god." Sage said crossing her arms at Jorge's demand for an answer.


"I see... I don't like getting involve in religious manners." Gato said, trying to stop anything from happening.


"You really don't want to get into religious manners with me." Sage told them.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Are you making a chalange kid?" Jorge asked with a growl in his voice

 

[Ricia]

"Oh? You want me to challenge you?" Sage asked putting her hand on her hip, giving him a condescending look. "Who do you worship then?"


"Look.. we just want to get a long." Gato said, waving his hands a bit.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Why does it matter who I worship?" his eyes darkened and he stared at Sage trying to star her down. He was ignoring his teammate

 

[Ricia]

"Because I don't like... certain gods... or the people who worship them." Sage said crossing her arms and glaring at man.


"Did we stumble onto an a cult member?" Lina whispered.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Rectin the god of death," he said crossing his arms.

 

[Ricia]

"Huh... I heard he was an ass like the rest of them." Sage said with a grin, she even seemed to grow less tense. Which meant to Lina and Gato that man wasn't going to pick a fight because of him.


"Geez... Can we put this behind us now?" Lina asked.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"you speak low of gods... I'm shocked you stand," Jorge was less then happy with her responce.

 

[Ricia]

"Hahaha! Gods don't scare me!" Sage said with a grin. If Sage was afraid of gods.. her life would be a constant fear. Since most were out to kill her all the time... it was best just to be brave. With Kai... Kat and Rick.. Gods were no problem.


"I see....." Lina said a bit loss for words. "May.. I ask your god? Since you are so verse in Religioun."


"Kai, chaos and tricks. And yes, I did just say his name." Sage said, arms still crossed.


Gato kind of flinched a bit and looked around, "Geez... I can't tell if you are brave or stupid."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Stupid... nobody invokes his name." Jorge said "The child god who causes problems all the time,"

 

[Ricia]

"Wait... you said your name was Death?" Lina said shocked a moment. She cupped her fist in her hand, "You're Death! Chaos's champion!" Lina said, putting two and two together.


"Whoa.. that makes a lot of sense actually." Gato said with a blink.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Cocky little brat," Jorge said "a champion,"

 

[Ricia]

Sage grinned at Jorge, "Aha. Jealous much?" Sage said with a grin.


"Right then...." Gato said with a sigh, "Anyway.. you don't mind if we stay about do you?"


"I don't know, what do you think Shadow?" Sage asked out loud.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"If they behave," the elf said he had yarrow on his shoulder he was wearing his assassin gear so his neck was covered for now.


"A companion death?" Jorge asked

 

[Ricia]

"I never said I was alone out here. I'm not a moron." Sage said glaring at Jorge.


Lina was a bit on edge when Kat suddenly appeared. She wondered how long he was there. She was usually sharp, but he was dress like an assassin and was proububly approaching like they were a threat.


"Wow.. impressive skills. My name is Gato. We didn't mean to alarm you guys. We are hunting were wolves around this forest. They were terrorizing the elven town a few miles that way." He pointed out a direction. Gato was human, rather burly, however Lina actually looked like an elf herself.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Jorge was mostlikely a half elf judging by his ears.


"Ah, I just finished my hunt," Kat said with his normal cheer however it was only more frightening now since not but a few moments ago he was quiet as death.

 

[Ricia]

"Awesome, well i'll start the fire and get ready to cook, so you start to skin." Sage told Kat before turning and pulling out equipment from their bags, including a few spice bags Kai let her have.


"Alright then guys, lets set up camp." Gato told the two. Lina nodded before taking off her own backpack and starting to set up. "We have some dried candies if you would like to share those with the little girl. Does.. she have a name?"


"We call her Princess." Sage said, obviously not giving the little girl's real name either. Gato chuckled a bit, but he really understood the no name thing now. Scrying was not hard for a god. Without a name, scrying was impossible.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Fae ran to Kat to hug him. "Hey there princess," he said and hugged her "its ok, no big bad stranger will hurt you," he kissed her head and slung the rabbits he had caught over to get out his skinning knife. "Why don't you be a helper and get some more sticks for the fire...Yarrow, go with her please,"


The bird whisteled and hopped on the ground following Fae he was big enough to pick her up and fly her away from danger.

 

[Ricia]

Smore's yawned and then followed Kat, meowing a him. "Don't be a pain, go hunt for food now." Sage told the fat cat. Smores blinked before turning to follow Fae and Yarrow into the woods.


"Anyway, nice catch." Sage told Kat with a smirk. Though she signed a moment, 'they are hunters... so hush hush on the vampire.'


"Wow you three are quite the team... been traveling together long?" Gato asked.


"Hmm 2-3 years about." Sage told him.


"We've been a team for about the same." Gato mentioned. "We all worked one job together and just kind of grew on each other."
