"I HATE STORMS" paige screeched digging her claws into her palm so deep there was soon a puddle of blood on the floor and she suddenly collapsed.

Dom had trembled a bit as the tavern shaked a bit ,but he kept his ground so he wouldnt fall to the ground.Dom began to pat Ariettas back with his free hand ,as he held her close.He than walked them over to Paige."Paige!!Paige ,wake up!!!"Dom had said in a way where a collapsed could hear him.

Arietta goes with him still clinging to him she lets go after a moment though still wanting to cling to him, but she knew he needed to check on Paige. Another flash of lighting and large clap of booming thunder streaked and racked the sky. "Ah!" Arietta squeaks again and clings to her doll. She quickly dashes under a nearby table and huddles there trembling uncontrollably.

Paige wakes up disoriented and she struggles to get up her palms still bleeding freely.

Dom than acted on his feet ,He found bandages ,and began to treat her wound..He than walked over to Arietta ,as the storm passed over."Are you ok now Arietta?"

Arietta looks up at him from where she was under the table clutching her doll. Tears had started to gather at the corner of her eyes, she wipes at the small tear and continues to look up at him. "I...I think so..." She mutters and wanders out from under the table. She continues to stick close to him even thought the storm was subsiding.

Starting to feel better she looked about and then looked at the pool of blood, then to her bandaged hand. "what happened?"

Dom had walked over to Paige ,while holding Arietta close too him."Well Paige ,you kinda collapsed from all the blood loss ,but no worries I fixed ya up."Dom had told Piage..

Arietta looks up at him and follows him silently and smiles a bit. She was feeling a little better now that the rain had let up. Once she had stopped spazing over the storm she would go and visit her friends. Looking at Paige she wished she had a healing spell or two to help heal her wounds, but she didn't sadly.

Looking at her bandaged hands again she smiled, "thanks"

"Hey ,it's no problem Paige."Dom had said to Paige.He than looked out of the window ,and saw the liger ,and looked down to Arietta."Hey Arietta theres your liger friend."Dom had said..

Arietta blinks and looks out the window she smiles and unlatches from him for the time being. Running out to her liger friend her long dark pink hair swishing back and forth as she runs outside. The ground was wet and she slid a little, but didn't fall. Smiling she hugs the large liger and nuzzles into its fur. The liger purrs and rubs its large head against her lovingly. She looks up at the large cat and smiles, then it licks her face and she giggles slightly. Talking with the liger through a series of growls and meows she gathers that neither it nor her large avian friend had found any sight of any of the six god generals as of yet. Sighing softly she nods and rubs her friends large furry head. The large cat closes its eyes and purrs softly from deep within its throat.

Dom than had joined the two outside..He walked through the slippery ground with ease ,and handle.As he was infront of them ,he looked into the sky.As little rain fell ,some ploped onto his face..

The liger eyes Dom curiously for a moment and huffs at him. Arietta looks up at a little bit of rain drops onto her head. She frowns and looks up at the sky, it was becoming cloudy again. She looks over at Dom and frowns. "You think its going to rain again she asks?" Stroking her friends soft and fluffy fur.

"I'm fine, I'm fine," Nyura yelped, trying her best to clean the food out of her hair. Lightning struck again, and she hissed, digging her claws into the wooden chair in front of her. She disliked storms, disliked loud sounds. She just wanted a warm, quiet, dark place to curl up and go to sleep.

She watched from the doorway as Arietta and Dom went outside, to the liger. She wished she could come too, but that would entail getting wet. "That must be her pet," she murmured. "Wish I had one..."

Dom had looked at Arietta."No its not going to rain...Just a little cloudy ,a little rain."Dom had said to Arietta...He than heard a loud voice..The voice of Asch."Asch?"Dom had said under his breath..He than walked over to the east side of the woods ,but not clutching his sword.

Arietta perks up immideately and looks around. "Asch is here?!" She squeaks out and follows Dom over to the trees. The liger watches them for a moment then walks over to the entrance of the tavern it had caught Nyura's scent and was curious. Walking up to the entrance and sitting just in front of the door it looks at her and swishes it tail a little, its ear flicks as it stares her down curiosity mirrored in its eyes.

Asch had appeare in front of Dom ,and kneed him."The call wasnt meant for you ,foolish brother.."Asch had said in a cold way to Dom...Dom than fell to the ground ,holding his stomache..

Arietta rushes up to Asch and jumps toward him she end up grabbing him around the waist clinging to him. "Asch! I'm so glad you found me I was kind of lonely without you and the others. Your brother kept me safe and sound though." She smiles up at him and continues to cling to him, holding her doll close to her and smiling.

"So you've met my weaklin brother eh."Asch smirked ,as he saw Dom had a hard time geting up..Dom finally gotten up ,but still held his stomach ,from Asch punching him..

"Yes I have." she answers him and continues to cling to his waist happy to see him. Looking over at Dom she tilts her head and frowns hoping that he was ok. That had been a weak blow from Asch she knew and she looks at the both of them. They hadn't been on good terms for a while now it seemed.

I see my brother is the same ,I guess."So ,brother ,I see your fear for the woods ,have passed over.."I guess you can say that."Dom had said ,now letting go of his stomach ,since the pain subsided..

Arietta releases him and just as she does the liger sniffs the air. Noticing Asch's scent it stands and lumbers over to them. Rubbing up against Arietta first it then licks the side of Asch's head and purrs softly. Her liger friend had missed him too. The large avian bird soared overhead and squawked out indicating it had seen him too, then it flies off as well.

Asch had pat the liger."Well the liger seems to miss me too..So how did you meet my brother?"Asch had asked Arietta.

Arietta looks up at him. "Well as you know I got seperated from Largo after my fight with Anise I'm not sure how, but I wound up here in this forest. I woke up and wandered around then ended up in that inn over there. Apparently he was passing though and decided to stop here so that's how I met him here at this inn." she explains to Asch quickly and quietly now pausing to take a breath inhaling sharply and exhaling slowly. The liger purrs and nuzzles up against his hand.
