Ari glanced up from where she was playing with the water as Keith took off alone. Some people need to be alone to find comfort. Why didn't I think of that before? Ari nearly sighed at her failed attempt to comfort and almost went back to playing with the water when she heard one of the boys say hello. "Hello." Ari said in return and smiled brightly. "My name is Ari. Nice to meet you." Ari stood and brushed off her backside before sitting on the rock that Keith had left facing the two boys. "What are your names?" They seem friendly enough. Ari thought with a smile.

Panting she tripped and fell to the ground. She was running and she couldn't remember why. Her breath was jagged as she stood and looked around, these woods were unfamiliar to her and she couldn't remember how she got there in the first place. Sitting down under a tree Railyn took a moment and stretched her wings as she sensed others in these woods. "I should stay away from them." She said outloud to herself. "If they are like the others..." She let her thoughts trail off as she looked around finally standing and spreading her wings out in what appeared to be an attempt to fly, which left her face down in the dirt. "Not healed enough yet." Rai said with a sigh. Sure that she wasn't being followed she began walking in the direction of where the largest gathering of people seemed to be. "I can at least check it out and see who is around here. Maybe they will know a way out."

After spending the night in a tree, Garrick decides to scout out the area a little. Moving stealthily from tree to tree, he eventually comes across what looks like an encampment. Voices can be heard, but what they are saying is too muffled to hear. After spending some time studying those in the camp, Garrick comes to the conclusion that these people are not hostile. Walking slowly towards the camp, he approaches with caution, just in case. Standing on the edge of the camp, Garrick is at first unnoticed.

"New person? How many people are here and are new?" Prygus frowned slightly as he considered the new information. More people could equal safety or trouble. Hopefully he wouldn't need to steal anything while he was here. Although he was a master of his skill, he didn't like to use it if unnecessary.
He grinned as he saw the elf pull the demon woman to him protectively. She was quite stunning but he made it a point not to go after another mans woman, beautiful or not. "My name is Prygus." He gave a mocking bow as he introduced himself, with a mischievious glint in his eyes.

She saw Dream nod at her and relaxed just a bit. It was wonderful to know he was backing her up. She went up to the girl and hesitantly pulled a glowing amber stone from seemingly nowhere. "This is a healing stone. It is only good for one use but contains immense power. All I have to do is place it against your heart and it should erase the pain." She hesitated. "I can't promise anything but it could give you your wings back as well. I don't want to get your hopes up but I wanted to let you know." She took the stone and placed it on the girls chest at her heart. It began to pulse with her heartbeat and suddenly gave out a blinding flash of light and disappeared. Whispers moved back towards Dream, watching the girl and waiting.

Garrick noticed the purple hair human and the frown upon his face. He approached the human. "I am of no threat to you or any others here" he proclaimed quietly. "I am simply...lost and came upon this camp. I suppose I don't look all that trustworthy, but I am in fact an honorable man". He looked around the camp and then proceeded to walk to the other side and lean against a tree.

Shojiro smiled at the elf as she played with the water. She was lovely, so he should keep his brother away. Sho could already tell that his brother has seen her, his lust filling his head as well as Sho's. He sighed inwardly at his brother. "Pleasure to meet you, My name is Shojiro and that man over there is my twin brother Kojiro." Sho said, pointing at his brother who brooded a few feet away as he leaned against a tree.

Kojiro heard his name and looked over at his brother and the pretty elven girl. It was his time to make his move. He moved over to the two, somewhat strutting towards them. He leaned against the cloest tree to the elf and smiled at her. "Hey there beautiful. Pleasure to meet you." He said in his smooth bartone voice.

Bard held onto Kiako as she gripped him in pain. He worried for her greatly. He smiled as she agreed to the fae's help. He could only hope that she could help ease Kiako's pain. He couldn't bare for her to be hurting, his wings had lowered slightly, his feather's tips breating the ground. They had began to ache at the thought of being ripped from his body. "Please, if you can help. Maybe you and the elf girl, Ari could help her." Bard said, looking at the fae woman with dresprate eyes.

Andre smiled at the man, seeing that he caught the hint. He gave Tzip a slight squeeze as she welcomed the other man. "Pleasure to meet you. I'm Andre Vilde." He said after the Prygus introduced himself. "There's a lot of new people here. Mainly everyone. Tzipporah is the only one who has been here for a great deal of time." Andre explained. He was about to go one when a great pain seared through him. He grunted in pain as he leaned against Tzip for support. His chest burned with such firece pain it could only mean one thing. "Izaradas..." He spat out the name like it was a rotten piece of food.

Izaradas had found herself lost in an incredibly retched forest. Her powers had been limited, which was making her quite angry. Her red eyes had started to glow even more intense than normal. Her hands were emitting a dark greenish glow about them, her fury rising. All she wanted was to find her beloved prince. "Dammit! Lolth have you forsaken me?!" She called out to the leafy skyline. She stompped on, as she neared a clearing that had the emcampment she was unaware of, she felt something. She stopped and closed her eyes, a very wicked smiled spreading across her tainted lips. "Brother...there you are." She was beyond happy. She had found her prince and was about to make him hers.

Ari smiled at Shojiro and Kojiro. Blushing slightly at Kojiro's greeting. "Pleasure to meet you both." Ari glanced around the camp and realized that it seemed to be packed with people. "Have you two been here long?" Ari asked. Both of them are cute. It seems actually that all the men here are good looking. Ari smiled to herself. "How did you two get here?"

Rai quietly approached the camp, it seemed to be bustling with many people. Keeping her wings tucked in as much as she could she observed the camp from the edges to see how these people reacted with each other. "I have never seen so many creatures." Rai said to herself as she noticed demons, fae, pixies and elves all gathered in one place together without fighting. "How strange." Sitting against a tree on the edge of the camp Rai continued to watch.

Garrick once again approached the purple haired human. "I apologize for startling you earlier" he said.
"I am Garrick, pleased to meet you".

Startled by the sudden kiss on her cheek, she blushed bright red. She smiled at his words as once again his touch set her skin on fire. She leaned back against him, his presence comforting her as she watched the stone disappear.

She looked at the girl with sorrow in her eyes. She had hoped her wings would grow back but the stone's power must not have been enough but at least the gaping holes in her back had closed and healed. "I'm truly sorry. My name is Whispers Darkness and this is my companion Dream. May I inquire to your names?"

Prygus looked back to Garrick, "My name is Prygus but now doesn't seem like the time for introductions. Will you help me carry him towards the camp?" Prygus rushed over to Andre and got underneath one of the mans arms. He grunted as he started to take his weight. wow he's heavy! Looking at Tzip, "Don't worry we'll get him back to camp."

"Very well" he said. Heading over to help Prygus carry this man named Andre.
Saying not a word, Garrick carried Andre back to the camp.

((oops ignore that))

Shojiro smiled, somewhat grimly at the apporach of his brother. Another girl may fall victim to his charms. He'd hate that his brother could seduce women so easily. "We were looking for our father. And we have found him." Shojiro explained, waving a hand towards Bard. He stood, not wanting be near Kojiro as he hit on the poor girl. "We've only been here a few hours." He said, looking aorund. He thought he noticed someone watching them from outside the emcampment. He found it curious, but he made no move to inicate he noticed the being. Shojiro focused on feeling out the being who watched them all, he felt nothing but curiousity from the being. He smiled in the direction of the person watching, aware of them more now. "If you'll excuse me, I have something I need to check out." He excused himself from the two and went to find out more about the watchful being. He walked around and slipped into the woods from where he couldn't be seen. He crept closer to the person, seeing it was a winged woman. He stopped a few feet back, a gentle look on his face. "Hello there. Why are you watching us instead of greeting us?" He asked quietly to the winged woman.

Kojiro smiled as his brother left them alone. "So, how long have you been here?" He asked smoothly. He stayed focused on her, hoping that he'd get somewhere with her. She hadnt started swooning over him yet, but he wasn't the one to deny a changelle.

Bard was relived to see that she seemed to feel better. He reached out and touched her cheek without thinking about it as she seemed to be sadden about her wings. When he realized what he did, he blushed and pulled his hand back quickly. He turned to Whisper and Dream and bowed to them. "Thank you so much for your help." He said. He was truly glad that she was able to help Kiako.

Andre recovered somewhat quickly. He moved away from the two men. "Thanks, but I'm fine.." He said, his head spinning at the thought his sister finally found him. He looked at Tzip, his eyes full of worry. He had to lead Izaradas away from the camp and away from Tzip. He went to her, kissing her deeply, as if it were to be the last time he would ever kiss her again. "Sorry, love, but I have to go." He said holding on to her.

Izaradas could feel Andre as she neared as well as quite a few other beings. It was interesting. She paused, knowing that bursting into the camp and demanding Andre wouldn't be easy. She could sense a couple of powerful demons tilling around the area. She stopped and leaned against a tree, she had to form a plan, she couldn't let Andre escape. He was king now and he needed to make her his Queen.

Garrick quickly scanned over Andre. He didn't see any apparent wounds on the man and proceeded to leave.
Needing some rest, Garrick retired for the night.

Ari smiled after Shojiro as he went to check something out and took in the information. So more people are coming to the forest. Does that mean there is a way out? Ari turned her smile onto Kojiro as she answered his question. "It has been about 3 or 4 days now I think." Ari blushed a little as she thought about how much she had slept recently. "I have been very tired tho and sleeping a lot so it could have been a while longer." Ari curled up more comfortably on the rock and stretched. "So you are Bard's children?" She asked now.

She had never heard anyone approaching cause she was so involved with watching the camp. When the voice came from behind her Railyn nearly jumped out of her skin tripping and falling face first into the dirt as she moved to see who had snuck up on her. She tried to keep her wings folded in as close to her body as she could to keep the black of her feathers hidden. Pushing herself up slightly and brushing a little of the dust off of her face Rai looked at the boy and managed to smile a little. "Wow. Has anyone told you that you are very handsome?" Rai asked as she watched him then realized that she should answer his question. "I am kinda new here so I figured I would watch and see what everyone was like and how things worked around here." Ari pulled herself up and started dusting off the front of her clothing. "I have never seen so many creatures gathered together in one place before."

Shojiro was caught off guard by the girl's comment. He held his wings close to his back, feeling very embarassed. "I-I.. No, that comment is usually held for my brother.." He said, looking rather surprised. His black feather had ruffled a bit, but had smoothed out now. He looked at her, seeing how beautiful she was. It was a curious thing, how many pretty women there was in the encampment. "Oh well.. I am new here too. Everyone here seems to be in the same boat, so we all seem to get along well." He said, taking a step closer and watching her. He hoped he wouldn't scare her by closing the distance between them. "Would you like to come along with me?" He asked gently, holding out his hand.

Kojiro smiled at her. "Ah yes. In a way. He adopted us when he was a very young man." He said, smiling at the memories of those younger days. When they all were happier. It seemed like a long time ago, he and Shojiro had become warriors for the heavely spirits. They had been in many deadly battles with the worlds. He shook his thought from his blonde head.


Bard was shocked to see Kiako wander off. He turned to the two who had helped them. "Um.. Thank you again. If you'll excuse me..." He said as he followed Kiako towards Andre and Tzipporah.


Andre smiled at her, he had a feeling that she wasn't going to let him go so easily. He watched as her features changed, he cocked his head to the side. He hadn't known she could change like that, it was almost like the way Keith had transformed. "It's alright, love. I don't want to run the risk of Izaradas hurting you." He said, holding her still.

Izaradas felt a spike in power. Someone had become a little more powerful than before. She decided to enter the camp and act nicely. It would be hard for her, but she needed Andre without a lot of fuss. Her powers were at their peak, so she had to be careful. She walked into the camp, looking around. "Andre?!" She cried, like a long lost sister who hadn't seen her baby brother in a long time. When she saw him embraced in the arms of a female demon, her blood boiled. Her red eyes began glowing even more so, like flaming rubies. "Andre...who is this woman?" She said, unable to keep control any longer.

She shivered as chills ran up and down her spin as he kissed her neck and wrapped his arms around her. It felt as though she had known him for years. "Yes it does look that way. I'm glad I could help her." She turned in his arms and looked up at him, a troubled look on her face. She needed to tell him about her assignment but would he turn away from her after she told him? Part of her ached at the thought of it. The other part screamed at her to tell him whether it meant he would stay or go.

Startled, he let go of the man's arm. "Oh good, glad to see your ok." He could see the anger radiating off of Tzip as she starting going off on him for taking off without her. Not wanting to get in the crossfire he backed away and leaned against a tree, watching the commotion.

Ari smiled watching as a smile spread across Ko's lips as he seemed to think about the past before shaking his head a bit. Ari did her best to surpress a yawn and smiled towards were Bard was now following Kiako towards others. "Bard seems like a kind and decent man. Taking in two children must have been a lot of work." Ari smiled tilting her head a little as she studied Ko. "But you seem to have been happy together." Ari yawned again and mentally cursed whatever it was that was making her so tired recently.

Rai studied the outstretched hand in front of her. No one ever wanted to touch her, let alone be near her. Rai was smiling brightly as she took his hand. "Well people should tell you it more often then. My name is Railyn. What is yours?" Rai was confused that anyone would offer a hand to her but she thought that maybe he hadn't seen her wings yet. "Everyone here is new? How did everyone get here?" Rai was curious and always full of questions because she had not seen much in her life. "How did you know I was here?" Rai asked suddenly wondering how she was spoted from her spot sitting next to the tree.

She looked up at him, worry written plainly all over her face. "I-i need to tell you something but I don't know how you will react. It seems as though I've known you forever even though we just met." She started to look away and then pulled her courage together. "Do you mind if we go somewhere a little more private?" She pulled away from him and started towards the other side of the camp in the opposite direction the demon girl had gone. It seemed that everyone had gone over that way so this side should be quite empty. She started to walk that way, looking back to see if he would follow.


Glad he had backed away as he watched Tzip transform. As the other dark elf burst into the clearing he went on high alert. No wonder that name seemed so familiar, he was sure he had stolen something from her, he just couldn't remember what. He did remember running for his life when she had caught sight of him the last time. This time didn't look to be any different if she recognized him but it looked as though she was focused on Andre and Tzip at the moment. Oh wonderful, now if I could just remember what the hell I took from her besides her dignity He waited to see what would happen with all the tension in this clearing.
