Nerves stretched tight, she tenses even more as he takes another step towards the elf. This could go bad at any moment. She stayed alert for signs of danger from the stranger.
|
Watching him carefully as he stepped forward Ari replaced her arrow to it's quiver and strapped her bow back into place glancing down quickly to the camp below. "I woke up here not to long ago myself and have been watching the camp." Croutching down slightly Ari pointed towards the few campers. "So far I have seen these three, the demon, an angel and a pixie. They don't seem harmful, at least to each other. Tho it is strange for demons and angels to keep company. And from the looks of the camp I am guessing there are a few more here as well." Standing straight she glances towards the woods again her eyes narrowed slightly. "How is it that you heard of the camp Sir...I am sorry I did not catch your name." Ari smiled before looking back down towards the camp.
|
Delimant slowly moved up and kneeled beside her. "My name is Delimant. I am from the Felwithe kingdom in the land of Faydwer." He glanced back over at the woods and then back towards the elf. "The reason I knew of the camp is because I met someone else on the way here. She is watching us right now."
Delimant wouldn't point out her exact location. Only that she was somewhere nearby. It was a way to both secure his own safety and hers just in case she was bluffing. |
Ari looked carefully at the elf and smiled believing that he was telling the truth for the most part. " Pleasure to meet you Delimant. I am glad you could confirm I wasn't losing my mind when I thought I heard someone else in the woods." Ari watched the camp again. "Seems as if even more people are gathered here than I thought." Ari rested her chin in her hand and thought quietly for a moment. Why are so many people gathered here? What is the purpose of everyone being lost in a strange wood? Snapping out of it after only a second or so Ari smiled again at Delimant. "Your friend doesn't have to stay hiding. I won't cause you any harm. Seems like we are all in this together somehow." Sitting crossed legged on the ground Ari smiled at the woods before looking back to the camp.

Cautiously she reduced her cloaking to her wings and stepped out into view. I don't trust her as far as I can throw her, well maybe not as far as i could throw her Still on the alert for danger she looked over the elf. Her posture was non-threatening but that could all be an act. Still on her guard she moves closer to Delimant, a wary look on her face.
|
Delimant looked over at her and saw that she was concealing her wings, so he made a mental note not to bring up anything about that.
"The fact that there are demons down there still bothers me. Even if they are getting along with an angel. And that elf... is that a dark elf? If so, this could be a lot worse than I feared." He rubbed his chin a bit, and waited to see what everyone else around him thought. (This is my last post for tonight guys, xD, I gotta sleep soon) |
Ari smiled and nodded towards the girl that walked towards her taking in her apperance and noting her slight hesitation. "Greetings." Ari calmly said to her. "Pleasure to meet you." Glancing back towards the camp Ari considered Delimant's words. "I am not so worried about what they are, more of how they are going to act." Resting her chin in her hand again she glanced at her two new...compainions. "We already have a tactical advantage if we stay here. It wouldn't hurt to observe them for another day, see if others come back to this camp or if these are the only ones here." Ari tapped her chin lightly with her fingers. "If we don't like what we see there are always other options to going down to this camp." Setting out on my own is more my style. But these two don't seem to bad. Tho the girl is hiding something... Suddenly feeling rude Ari turned to the girl. "I am sorry. I didn't catch your name."
(Lixxi's last post too...she needs a nap) |
Relaxing slightly, she sinks to the ground gracefully, facing her companions. "Greetings to you as well. My name is Whispers Darkness. I happen to agree with both of you and it would probably be in our best interests to observe the camp for another day as well. However, I suggest we seek shelter for the night and see what happens tomorrow." Frowning slightly, she looks around for a safe place to rest. Spying an opening in the rock wall behind them she gets up and goes over to investigate.
Moving aside some branches that had fallen in the entrance, she finds a large cave. Peering in she sniffs the air. Finding nothing but the smell of dust and disuse she ventures in. Once in she finds it large enough to hold a large hunting party. Emerging from the cave she goes back to her companions and tells them what she has found. In agreement they all go inside the cave after first making safety precautions with a protective shield and an illusion spell. Keeping a close eye on the new elf, she whispers a protective spell surrounding herself, ari and delimant, ensuring that they will stay safe from anything outside as well as each other. Laying down towards the front of the cave she drifts off to sleep slowly as the others make themselves comfortable and doze off as well. |
Strangely aroused from his mid-day sleeping, Afanassii rubbed his sapphire eyes and looked around. Daylight trickled in through the canopy, but he was safely shaded in the tree perch he had procured the night before.
He slunk town the trunk of the tree, seeming more like a snake or a passing shadow than someone with two legs and two arms. Upon reaching the ground, he turned about the tree's trunk, holding close to it and taking a careful inspection on the area around him. He chose a tree far enough away from where most settled down that he wouldn't usually be noticed - he tended to not particularly enjoy the company of others unless he was in the one to instigate it. Being unusually untrusting, he did always like to sleep alone. However, being that his travels were over and he was back in one of his "homes" again, he thought it best to scout about to see whatever happenings were about. It was a sorry excuse to go about snooping, to be sure, but that was Nassi's way. Telling himself that satisfying his curiosity was somehow helping the others in the area was just one of the ways he justified his habits. He shrugged back his unusually long red hair and made a game out of avoiding the patches of sunlight on the ground as he wandered. |
As Danae woke up she felt dizzy and everything hurt. Her wing burned and her eyes became tearful and black tears rolled down her cheek. She stood up slowly and hold her head. "Ahh...what just happened? This world isnt good for me. I have to go soon. BUt I must find him." She shaked her head to bcome clear and walked over to the hut to see if there is someone from the others. I have to find Keith. Maybe he can heal my wound. BUt would he do that?

"A GENERAL IN AN ARMY?!" October shrieked and fell down onto the ground. She fell on her wings and hurt them. "Yeow!!!" She said as she started to cry. She sat up and looked at her wing. Oh I hope they are not broken. She thought as she looked at her wing.
|
Afannassii's ears perked up at the sudden outburst and he turned in the direction he believed it to come from. A few moments later, he was on his way, picking through the shady parts of the forest floor towards the unsuspecting October.
|
October looked twards an area where the stange man cem threw, tilt her head and looked at him. "And you are?" She asked looking at him confusingly.
|
Lin looked at the man with red hair and said "There is more people who are lost in the woods? This is just weird...". Lin was starting to wounder if there was much more people in the woods. She gulped and said "I wounder how many more people there are in the woods....".
|
Afanassii tossed his long red hair over his right shoulder, tilting his head at the sight of the two winged ladies. He narrowed his eyes a bit while he inspected the two of them and gave them a slight smile.
"I take it my reputation does not precede me, then?" He asked. "While I'm not certain if that is a good or bad thing, I am pleased to meet you both, I am sure." He swept into a low bow. "Ladies, I am Afanassii Abez'iana, you're humble servant." |
Lin giggled and said "I'm Linea, but call me Lin, all my friends call me that.".
((I have a little bit of writers bloc)) |
October raised an eyebrow. "I dont need a searvant." She said bitterly as she stood up and brushed the dirt off and started to examin her wing. "Whew, its not broken, just brused." She mummbled to herself.
|
(Apologies, I had to restart the computer)
"Oh, well, I ..." Afanassii withdrew himself a bit, temporarily taken aback by what the the little one had said. "Mind if I ask what trouble befell you?" He motioned towards her injuries. |
October looked at him. "I fell off his shoulder." She said pointing to Bard.
|
Nassii took a quick look at the man in question and then furrowed his brow in confusion. He couldn't help feel like he were being baited into embarrassing himself, but still he shook the thought away and grinned at the little Pixie. "But... why didn't you fly instead of fall?"
|
October looked at him and then at her wings. "I got the wet this moring, it takes them a day to dry off. And its recomended that we pixies dont fly." SHe said with a smile. "Hey why dont you come sit with us?" She asked patting the ground. "We have food."
|
Lin smiled and said "Yeah, why don't you sit with us Afansii.". Lin patted the ground as a gesture for Afansii to sit down.
|
As untrusting as his nature was, he found it difficult to refuse such a request by two innocent-looking ladies. "Why, certainly. I would be delighted. If this is also agreeable with your other companion." He took a quick look to Bard and then back at the two he had been speaking with.
|
"I don't think Bard will mind. Do ya Bard?" Lin said as she looked at Bard.
((Okay I have mega writers bloc..X_X)) |
October looked at Afanassii and the Bard. "I dont think he will mind." She got up and ran towards Afanassii and stopped at the ground near her feet. She looked up. "Hey down here bud!"
