Reiga continued to walk towards Abel. He heard Abel talking about him as he approached. Reiga ended up sitting right next to Abel not really paying him much attention as he stared intently at the fire. As he patiently listened to see if they would discuss anything further about him.

Abel heard,"Okay, we can help you find him," [...] "We really need to find him so we can get home." Okay come on lets go and look for Lord Reiga. Abel got up to quicky, slipped on the ice/snow, and fell over onto the man that had just sat down next to him.

Reiga was sitting there minding his own business when Abel fell on top of him knocking him clean over. With his concentration on the glamour broken the glamour faded off of him and on Lyn as well. Reiga was back, dressed in his garb of armor and cloak. "Well this is bad," he thought to himself. "Well I guess there is no better time to introduce myself." Pushing Abel off of him he stood up and said," I heard that you were looking for me. I am Lord Reiga God of the North. How may I be of service?" Looking over at Abel he saw that the man was trying to make himself smaller and smaller to not be noticed. "As for you, I will deal with your punishment later for not only arriving late, unlike Lyn, but also revealing my position." Reiga looked around as the townspeople began gasping, some even pointing. "Well this is awkward," thought Reiga. He was about to continue on speaking and tell them that they probably should be leaving to go and talk in private when an arrow went wizzing through the air striking him in the shoulder. Wincing Reiga pulled it out as he saw that there was a light purple drippinng out of the tip. "T-The p-poison of the sagurina plant." Falling onto one knee he fell onto his side as he began to shake. His last thought was," Sometimes I wish that I hadn't given up my immortality."

Connel walked throughout the garden's of the palace when an errand boy came running up to him as he handed him a letter that seemed pretty grungy. Opening the letter Connel read the contents of the letter, and smiled to himself as he tipped back his head letting loose a bark of laughter that would have put anyone on edge. The letter read," Grim has made contact with the God of the North. Death is imminent."

When the glamour dissipated, the sudden magic change caused Lyn to raise his hands and cough blood. 'Something's not right...' He was light headed and his visioned blurred a little. Despite this, he drew his sword, but before he had, he saw an arrow whiz past him and hit Lord Reiga. Lyn froze up for a moment as his lord removed the arrow and he saw poison on the tip. Then Lyn acted. He knew he was too weak at the moment to pick up lord Reiga, let alone defend him. It would be up to Abel to prevent any followup attacks so Lyn had no choice but to trust the closest people. They would have had the chance to stab the lord already if they were truly enemies. He pointed to two girls. "You two! Carry Lord Reiga, to the doctor's house. He'll have one horse fit for running. Take it and ride as quickly as you can to the castle." Lyn had pointed to both locations to make sure they knew where they were. he then turned to Abel, "Abel, I can't use my powers properly for the next couple of minutes, so plan accordingly." He looked at the blood on his hands. "Also, I'm having trouble thinking clearly, so you'll have to make the field commands from now on." He turned to the two girls, "Hurry!"

Ren was at a loss for words. What in god's name did one say to a god? Let alone, what were they supposed to say to help them? Starting with, "Well, your mother sent us to help you..." seemed like a bad start. For once, she was speechless. Then, the arrow flew through the air and struck the god, leaving her mouth gaping open in shock. Someone yelled orders to her, and for once she jumped into action. "If he dies can we still get home? Um...I have no idea what's going on right now. Better run and be safe," She thought wildly, grabbing the god under one arm. "Gah, he's heavy," she muttered, her words slipping out as she began to run towards the appointed place. "Faith, do you have him okay? She asked, panting slightly. Her throat hurt from the cold but she ran on. "Erm....Lord Reiga, you all right?" She asked, not sure how she should show her concern.

Faith was in shock when the man fell onto a villager and that person changed into Reiga, the god that they were looking for, she was still in shock as Ren tried to talk to him, then things moved quickly once more, he was hurt and they were being told to take him to safty. "I think so...he is really heavy though." she said to Ren as the moved as fast as they could with the heavy man towards the doctor's place, she was personally holdding back tears since she didn't like violence but she could do what she could for the god. She placed a hand on his woound, trying to stop the blood that was comming out even though he was poisoned, she just didn't want him to lose more blood then he needed to. "Ren....do you think this happened because of us.....because those bandits followed us?" Faith asked her, losing her positive out look on things pretty quickly, which basically told her friend that this was harder on her then she was trying to let on. She took a deep breathe to hold back her tears as she tried to keep up with Ren, things just didn't look to good to her at the moment but hopefully she would bounce back.

To say Reiga was intense pain was a huge understatement. The last thing that he had wanted to do was put anyone else in jeparody, especially not his guards or the two girls that needed to speak with him. He barely heard what was going on since he was going in and out of conciousness. However, he did hear," You two! [...] doctor's house. He'll have one horse fit for running. [...] quickly as you can to the castle." Reiga felt himself being lifted by what he assumed were the two girls. He heard one of the girls ask,"Erm....Lord Reiga, you all right?" Reiga wasn't sure how to answer, or even if he had the strength to answer. He then heard the other girl say," he is really heavy though." He tried to muster up what little power he had and tranformed into a medium sizedwhite fox with black markings. "Maybe, they can manage to carry me now," he scoffed to himself. With that done he passed out completely. Hopefully he would live through this. He may be a god, but there was so much in life that he still needed to do, and there were so many things that he needed to accomplish.

Abel felt udderly horrible. It was one thing to fall onto Lord Reiga, but he had even gotten him shot too. If it had not been for him slipping whoever it was would have never had the opportunity to shoot him much less know it was was behind the glamour. Abel was shaken out of his musing when he heard Lyn yell at him saying," Abel, I can't use my powers properly for the next couple of minutes, so plan accordingly. Also, I'm having trouble thinking clearly, so you'll have to make the field commands from now on." Abel nodded his head in acknowldgement. Protecting Lord Reiga was his mission, and with it came great pride. He ran alongside the two girls as they went running to the doctor's. He had his horse reigned in near the doctors. Actually if memory served it was directly adjacent to it. He would protect Lord Reiga at all costs.

Connel was in one of the best moods as he possibly could be. The God of the North was as good as dead, and if he lived through this particular poison he would be severely crippled for a while leaving him completely powerless. He would be easy pickings then. Connel walked back into the palace, and went to his personal coordinator and scheduled a banquet. This was a time for celebration for himself as well as his kindgom. He would expand his kindgom far to the north and conquer anyone who opposed him.

Lyn watched Abel take off alongside the girls. 'Good. He'll protect Lord Reiga.' Lyn turned around and scanned the panicking crowd, but he couldn't see anyone suspicious. 'Who shot that arrow?' Lyn followed after Abel, though he knew that he would have to walk to the castle himself. Lord Reiga's horse was injured so they would have to take his, and Abel would need to mount the horse by himself so his horse could keep up with Lord Reiga. 'I guess I'll take my lord's horse back. He does adore that creature.' Lyn glanced behind him and saw a man with a large bow firing at them. Lyn's reflexes seemed to be extremely heightened and he instantly reacted, reaching out with hand to grab the arrow. However, the moment he grabbed it, the arrow disappeared. Lyn looked at the bowman, also gone. Lyn turned back to Abel and the others but they were all gone as well. 'What the? What's going on?' The world slowly turned black. Lyn felt his heart rate increase dramatically. But suddenly, everyone returned. He could hear the screaming crowd and see Lord Reiga being carried away. Lyn stood for a moment. 'I panicked, didn't I? I just... couldn't let it happen again.' Lyn gripped his head, closed his eyes, breathed deeply, and tried to forget about his personal past. When he opened his eyes again, they possessed determination and rage. He checked once again for the attacker, and then continued running after his lord.

Ren was fazed, to say the least, when he turned into a fox. She nearly bit off her tongue in shock, but she managed to save that particular bit of her body and carried the fox carefully in her arms. "This...is much better," She admitted truthfully. It was true, she could move more freely and faster with the god in this form. She looked over at Faith, fully realizing what she was feeling. "If it was bandits, they fired the shot, not us. And besides, he's a god, he'll be fine!" She said, though the optimism was slightly forced. She bit her lip as they reached the doctor's house, worrying. For once, she didn't voice her thoughts, mostly for Faith's sake. "What if it is our fault? Maybe they didn't want us to speak with him? But wouldn't they aim for us instead? Then again, maybe they were. Maybe we should be thankful they were a lousy shot. God, this isn't good...but then again, maybe the god has enemies? I mean, his brother certainly doesn't like him, from what Ting said... This train of thought continued, and she was so involved with it she didn't see the doctor approaching them.

((thank you all so much for keeping this going! this is something different that i wanted to try! where i'm only a few people here and there filling in spaces as they are needed. like i keep saying, if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask!!!))

{I'm good, thank you :D }

Faith gasped slightly as she almost completely dropped the now fox god, she stopped a moment and gave the part she was holding to Ren since she was carrying most of him in the first place. She pulled Ren to a stop when she saw a guy approaching them quickly, he looked as if he was a doctor so it seemed like a good idea to her to stop so that they would not completely pass each other and have to turn around. "Doctor?" she questioned the man,her eyes turning towards the knight that had come with them, looking towards him for some slight guiddence, after all this was the person he was suppose to be protecting. "Ren, I will hold him while you deal with the people." Faith said to her as she completely took the fox god from her, not wanting to deal with the people but rather the fox. She sighed in relief as she held him, being able to deal with an animal much better then people, she ripped the edge of her cloak with her teeth, using the ripped piece of cloth to hold it to his wound. "He will be fine....it didn't hit anything serious." she said to Ren in a voice that was filled with relief and in a positive additude, feeling better and more comfortable since it was now a situation that she could handle.

((Not at all, it's been fun!!))
I have a question! Do we want the doctor to help or are we just going straight to the castle?))

((up to you guys!!! the more the marrier thought. XD))

{{ <~ is confuzzled }}

((The doctor is taking care of the God of the north who got shot by an arrow from an assassin that was hired by another character of mine. The Ruler of the East, Connel who is in league with the Goddess of the South. As for the Doctor, whatever you guys want to do...you could even kill Reiga off, but then you would sadly never get home. His tiny fox body is within your powers now))

{Alright.... Thanks :D }

Another messanger ran into the room after Amaya drew up cards and whispered into her ear. No emotion flashed across her wonderous eyes or face as she simply layed the cards down. So her brother was wounded... not three hours after her information on the two girls of prophecy coming into the picture. She sure was last to know everything. "Royal Flush. They're here, love. Go find them." she told Raiden as she got up. Amaya debated for all of two seconds on going to visit her wounded brother. But then she had the idea that he might kill her on the spot. Making a face, Amaya walked out of the room to determine what she wanted to do.

((well okay.....))

((aww we don't wanna kill you!!! lol))

Ren saw the doctor and motioned down to the injured god in Faith's hands. "We need you to heal him!" She said firmly, only traces of panic in her voice. "Um...do you have any vet training? Please, don't let him die! I really want to go home!" She said, blabbering more than she planned, as per usual. She looked over at Faith for a brief moment and noted the worry in her eyes. Because of this, she straightened and made her face sober, attempting to calm herself.
"I'll see what I can do," the doctor said soberly, and led them inside. He began patching the wound, muttering to himself as he did. "This...will be tricky," he admitted. "He was poisoned. If he's lucky, he'll survive. If not..." He trailed off, as the rest didn't need to be worded. "Feed him this medicine every three hours until you use it up. Make sure you use all of it, even if he seems better."
"Yes sir," Ren said, sighing with some relief. He had a chance. "Thank you very much. She took the vial of ice blue liquid and went back outside towards the horses. "Can you ride and carry him?" She asked Faith. Then she looked at the horse, rather bewildered. "I don't think I've ever ridden a horse before...big bastard, isn't he?" She said, eying the horse rather wearily.

Raiden got up and walked out of the building. He jumped on a horse that was already prepared and the boy sped away in search of these girls.

Reiga: N.A. since he is still unconcious

Abel was a complete bundle of nerves when the doctor said that he could die. It was all his fault. If he hadn't had fallen on him in the first place. If he hadn't been late to arrive at the festival he wouldn't have made it so obvious that he was a guard of the God of the North in his armor. He could have gotten some of the glamour magic, that he would have used gratefully. Grabbing the reigns of his horse he saw that the two girls were having some problems carrying Lord Reiga even when he was in fox form. Walking over Abel said," It's your job to get to the castle safely with the medicine. It's my job to protect Lord Reiga, let me carry him." He extended his hands, and awaited the girls decision.

Connel: Is at his banquet celebrating the possible death of the God of the North. The ally of his foe the Ruler of the West.

“Yes.” Faith said to her as she basically hugged the fox to her after the doctor was done with what he was doing, she then laughed a little at what Ren had said. “You forgot that I live on a ranch.” she said to her as she laughed a little more, she then stopped in her tracks when she heard Abel speak to them, she held the man/fox closer to her as she thought about what he said. “It is your job to protect him… but if something happens to us and the medicine doesn‘t make it to the castle he will most likely die either way… You just let us take him and the medicine and you keep and eye out for who ever shot him. Besides we don‘t know how to get to the castle and even if we do get there it isn‘t a guarantee that they will let us in.” Faith said straight to the man for the first time, a shyness in her voice as she carefully placed the fox over the horses back like he had been hunted, she then climbed up into the saddle before she held a hand out to Ren to help her get up behind her on the horse. She didn’t say anything else to the man, she couldn’t even tell him that animals was a territory that she was most comfortable in, she adjusted how the fox was until she was sure he was comfortable. She made sure Ren was on the horse behind her before she motioned towards the knight to show them the way, before she had the horse start to walk in the said direction.

Ren held tightly to Faith, not enjoying the feeling of being bumped up and down with every step. "Owww...how do people do this? This is so painful! I want my motorcycle back!" She complained. It was true, her thighs and butt were already feeling the pain of riding. She was incredibly green. "Is this castle far?" She asked, slightly irritated, then regretted her words. She was whining about a horse ride when the god could die. "I'll just shut up now... she muttered, feeling much like an ass.

Lyn grabbed onto the reigns of Lord Reiga's horse and turned toward Abel, still a little flustered from his hallucination. "Lord Reiga's horse was injured on the way here, I'll walk her up to the castle. You go on ahead with them. The danger appears to have passed but, keep a sharp eye out." He followed after them, taking his time. His Majesty would be upset if his horse was injured anymore. Besides, Lyn needed time to clear his head. He had to make sure he would never panic like that again. It was dangerous to himself and those around him. Lyn saw that Abel and the two girls were approaching the castle. 'I'll just be a minute behind you...' He urged Lord Reiga's horse onward. 'By then, I should be able to use my powers again. A lot of good that'll do then though.'

In Reiga's unconciousness he was dreaming. Dreaming of the northern winds, and the tundra. He loved living where he lived, and he thought that it was a blessing that he got chosen by his mother to live here, instead of the sweltering, terrible heat. He felt like he was floating in a never ending sea of calm. As Reiga began to relax more and more he heard a tiny voice in the back of his mind, which he assumed was his conscience. It related to him everything that had happned to him up until he had gotten shot. Reiga couldn't believe it. Someone had outright attacked him. Attacked him on the day of the Wintermeal Festival, when it was a time for celebration. As he was listening to his conscience he was getting increasingly more and more angry, and it manifested itself in Reiga in fox form when he hissed a little and growled as he bared his fangs.

Abel heard one of the girls say," It is your job to protect him… but if something happens to us and the medicine doesn‘t make it to the castle he will most likely die either way [...]" The girl had made a pretty decent point. Thankfully the storm from earlier had dissapated to barely any snow as they went back up the mountain. The weather was still dangerous, but at least they were out of the majority of danger from anymore assasins. The visability was fine. It wasn't too sunny, but there wasn't so much sun that it blinded you when the sunlight hit the snow. Abel changed the position of his horse from time to time to throw off any would be assasins or thieves that were in it for a quick buck. As the trudged up the hill for what seemed like hours, even though it was less than that they could finally see the castle in view. Abel decided that, though not as extravagent, as Lord Reiga's castle, his house would do just fine. He wanted to get Lord Reiga out of the frozen tundra, and into a building where it was warm where they could begin the long process of healing Reiga.

Connel: N.A.

"Now you know how i feel when i am ridding on your motorcycle with you." Faith said to Ren as she laughed a little, Ren always knew how to make her laugh and feel better even if she wasn't trying to. Just then the fox seemed to become ferral in her arms even though he was still unconcious, she automaticlly handed the reins to Ren as she started to calm the fox. "Shh.....your safe now." she whispered into the fox's ear as she stroke his fur, trying to calm him down as she let Ren stir the horse towards Abel's home since that was were he was leading them. "

Hush, child, darkness will rise from the deep,
and carry it out into sleep, child.
Darkness will rise from the deep,
and carry it out into sleep,

child, darkness will rise from the deep,
and carry it out into sleep, child.
Darkness will rise from the deep,
and carry it out into sleep.......

"

She sung to him in a low voice, she knew it was tupid but it was the song that she always sung to every animal that needed to be calmed down, it normally always seemed to calm them, and the sad thing was is that she only knew how to sing lullabies. Soon they came to a stop and she waitted for Ren to get off so that she could slip down and pull the fox into her arms as she began to carry him inside.

((YouTube - Mordred's Lullaby- Lyrics <<<<------they song she is singing sorry i was listening to it and well yea.....lol))
