October looked at the girl. She is nothing but a mear child. She though as Chi picked her up. "Umm, I'm not lost, I was just taking a bath." October said looking at the Chi. "This is where I live, in this clearing."

"You live here?", she opened her mouth and giggled. "Its so beautiful here. The waterfall and...and the trees. He, do you live here alone? Or are there more pixies? See, even Nel is bigger than you. She picked Nel up and let the pixie sit on her shoulder. Hey, miss pixie? What is your name actually?" she paused and looked up. Oh the sun...I...dont have much time left. Why dont we meet here at nioght again?"

"Umm, its October and okays, and no im not the only one." She said answering every question Chi asked. Why is she running away from the sun, inless... She thought to herself as she looked at the child confusingly.

Shojiro watched the man carefully, with friendly but wary blue eyes. So the man before them was a master thief, Sho thought to himself. He's one they would have to watch. Shojiro relaxed a bit, his wings dipping a little, relaxing away from his body. Shojiro smiled at the man as he joked about his brother, not many people did. Most were charmed by him or hated him because he could charm women so easily, an art that Sho had not learned. Sho glanced at his brother for a second. "Quite right you are. Safety is a must." Shojiro said, waving a hand carelessly. "Allow me to introduce myself, I am Shojiro Dragonmists." He said. He waved his hand at his brother. "And this is my twin brother Kojiro." Sho added, moving towards his brother. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Prygus." Shojiro said, his gentle voice filled with sincerity.

Kojiro merely listened as his brother and the other man talked. Ko wasn't all that impressed with him calling himself a master thief. Anyone could claim that titled. Ko acted bored, but he was watching Prygus, not able to trust him. He knew his brother was acting nice, giving the man a chance. Ko was a bit disappointed in Prygus not knowing where they were, but he perked up when he heard about the camp. "Oh, a camp? With other people? Hmm.. I wonder if there are any women there." He ponder aloud, mischief in his voice.

Octobers ears twiched and she looked in the opposite direction from the Chi. More poeple?! Man how many people get lost? October thought as she turned back and saw nothing. "Hey where did you go?" She said out loud. October shrugged and flew down to her cloths and got dressed. Hmm I wonder who is in the forest now? She thought as she as she flew to the barrie patch she knew and went into hiding.

Afanassii finished his song and pulled his bow to the side, slowly turning to look and see Ari's reaction to his playing.

Ari sat somewhat stunned with a small smile on her face. "That was beautiful." Ari said in a near whisper. "You are quite talented."

"Eh," he shrugged. "Sometimes...." He began to put his instrument away. "It comes and it goes."

Nassii tossed his hair back over his shoulder and grabbed one of the last apples to nosh upon.

Ari watched curiously as Nassii munched on the apple. "I can't imagine that a talent like that comes and goes." Ari smiled and dusted off her backside. "But it was beautiful. I would love to hear you play again sometime."

"Sure," he nodded. "Any time."

He glanced over by the tree. "Good to know I didn't wake him." he smiled. "However, I hate to say it, but I am getting the tiniest bit stir crazy. My pixie friend has disappeared and Whispers is still missing.... My mind spins at the possibility of danger." He tapped a foot anxiously on the ground.

Ari glanced back at Del. "He apparently sleeps soundly." Ari listened as something whispered through the trees and suddenly a bird approached her with a message from Whipsers. "It appears that Whipsers is safe and has headed to the camp with a new compainon." Ari debated and sent the bird off to Whispers saying that they would head to the camp as well. "Maybe we should just drag him to the camp." Ari thought out loud.

Delimant slowly opened his eyes, hearing conversations around him. "Mmm.... I feel like I've been asleep for days. What has happened Ari?" He slowly crawled up from his sleeping position and stood up. He dusted off his robes and glanced around a bit, trying to establish a good heading. "Did we ever meet up with the other camp goers?"

Nassii raised his eyebrows at Ari's exchange with the bird. "Well, that's good to hear." He responded.

At her suggestion to drag her friend along, he chuckled. "I could likely carry him... " he suggested, coming towards the man and cocking his head to the side. "Or I could levitate him .... provided we wouldn't be walking for too long. But I think I remember the direction of the camp so that wouldn't be too bad. Provided they... Er...."

He was clearly startled to see Ari's friend suddenly awake. "Pardon me... " He addressed him. "I'm afraid I've gotten too ahead of myself." He blushed and scratched the back of his head.

"Well Good morning Sleepy head." Ari said with a smile. "You have been asleep for a while. We haven't gone off to the camp yet but Whispers should be there now with another person she as found in the woods." Ari felt something strange as the wind shifted and tensed up slightly as a shiver ran down her back. "I think it might be a good idea for us to head to this camp." With a small smile Ari waited to hear what Del thought.

Ari smiled at Nassii and his offer. "Thanks. But it seems that he is up now."

"As I see.." Nassii responded, blushing. He felt more than a bit silly at the moment.

Delimant looked over at the man staring him in the face and then back at Ari. That's right, he had met this person right before falling asleep the other day. "Okay... but what do you mean by back to camp? Have we already been there once before?" Delimant was a bit confused now. He knew he had slept a while... for some reason. Maybe it had something to do with the nature of the woods?

"We haven't been to the camp yet, but I think it might be a wise idea to head there now." Ari said as this feeling of darkness seemed to be growing. "I am thinking that there is safety in numbers." Ari smiled as brightly as she could manage at Nassii. "You are coming with us to the camp right?"

Turning back to Del for a moment she thought of another thing. "You have been asleep for a while and haven't eatten, they have food at the camp as well so it might be the best option to go there. It does not seem like they are hostile."

"Of course I shall accompany you. I'm anxious to see how our other friends are doing since it seems that so many are actually lost at the moment." He turned to Delimant. "Last I heard, they had a boar on the fire. Though, this was earlier so I don't know how much meat they might have left, we can always hunt again if necessary. I do agree with the young miss here, it will be safer to be in a group."

Delimant nodded in agreement. He was still a bit hesitant due to the demons and dark elves possibly lurking in the camp, but at this point, there wasn't much else they could do. "Boar is sounding kind of good right now." He looked at Ari and gave a nod that signaled that he would follow her to the camp.

Ari couldn't help but giggle at Nassii's Young Miss comment and smiled at him fondly. "The boar does sound good right about now." Ari nodded but noted Del's slight hesitation. "What other choice do we have?" She asked with a smile. "We will still be cautious but I don't think we have anything to fear." Ari turned back to Nassii. "Would you be so kind as to lead the way?"

Afanassii grinned and gave a bow, holding a hand in the general direction of the camp. After Del and Ari began to walk, he joined them, keeping one step ahead so as to point out any change in direction, but also keeping to the side so they could easily converse.

"The camp isn't too far from here." he nodded. "It shouldn't take more than 15 minutes - probably no more than 10. Are you anxious to meet up with Whispers Darkness again?"

"Yeah, it has been a bit since I have seen Whispers. Who did you guys say she left with?" Delimant asked. It could have been one of the other people they met the other day, such as the hyper pixie. "And how long have you been here Afanassii?"

Ari smiled at Nassii and followed as he lead the way back to camp. "It will be good to see that she is actually alright. She went to camp with the person she found in the woods." she answered both Nassii and Del. Drifting off into some thoughts she listened while Del and Nassii conversed.

"Some time after I met you three, she sensed something and went off to investigate. I assume this person is what she had found." he nodded, "As for me, I actually have not been here long, only a few days. How about yourself?"
