Autumn's Beginning, Autumn's Breeze

Nathaniel

Nathaniel fished around in the pouches he had tied to his belt, looking for the right herbs.

"Gerard." Nat glanced up. "Go fetch water."

"Where?"

"There's a stream nearby, just over there." Cyan said, pointing off into the woods. Gerard shrugged and trudged off, water skin in hand. When Nathaniel told Gerard to do something, he did not question it.

Silvin continued coughing, occasionally spitting out blood. Alise, Ara, Bella, and Cyan all crouched around him, doing what they could. Which was now much.

Gerard returned a few minutes later carrying a full water skin. Nathaniel took it and poured some into a small cup he found in one of the packs, casting a quick, simple spell over it to make it hot. He poured the necessary herbs in it and handed it to Silvin.

"Drink it." he commanded.

Drinking the medicine he realized it tasted like an old boot. Toughening up he drank the whole thing as fast as possible coughing when he was finished. "That was disgusting."

"It worked didn't it," said Nate patting him on the back. "So Cyan, lead us on then."

"What? Oh! Yeah. Of course." Cyan looked around to make sure everyone was there and walked over to where the kids were running around. There was a large stone pillar with some ancient language and Cyan stopped right there.

"It's burried right here." She said, tapping her foot on the earth. "So you're going to need some shovels."


*Sorry it's short*

Nathaniel

Nathaniel snorted. "Shovels? Who needs shovels when you're a magician?"

He spread his arms out in front of him, muttered a word, and instantly the dirt began to move. Slowly at first, but more quickly as time passed. Soon a rotting wood coffin was visible. The next moment it was completely uncovered.


*That's all i've got.*

***Sorry i've missed so much; I kinda crashed our computer...and then i got grounded, and i'm just now allowed online. Can someone fill me in on what I missed so I can post, please? Thanks a bunch!***

I'll PM Bella. Someone please post.

Silvin looked under the pillar to see a stair way, "Probably to make it harder to find the stone."

Nate nodded, and looked at his brother, "You first."

Alice took Gernard's arm and the started down the steps. Bella and Cyan went next and Ara and Silvin brought up the rear with Nate. reaching the bottom the came to a long corridor with two torches lite. Gernard took one and took the lead with his brother while Silvin took the other walking in the back.

(It's a little short, but I hope this helps.)

Ara

Ara was hesitant to walk into the tunnel but she followed the others keeping her hand close to her knife. She kept an eye on the person in front of her so she didn't get lost. She wouldn't have to worry about being completely covered in darkness because Silvin had a tourch behind her.



*Sorry, its really short, but I couldnt' think of much else.*

Bella slipped back, around the others, so that she was walking next to Nat. They handed talked much lately, and she was still unsure of how he felt about her. She glanced up at his face, and noticed that he was looking down at her. She quickly averted her eyes, turned a bright shade of red. He smiled down at her, still not speaking. She jumped at the feeling of his hand in hers, but didn't say anything.

***Sorry, don't know what else to post. I hope this was ok DM; if not just let me know and I'll fix it!***

*Of course it's alright, Bella. Woot, you're back! yay! And i now have something to do, so you have my undivided gratitude.*

Gerard

Gerard glanced back at his brother and smiled smugly when he saw Nat holding hands with Bella. It was good his brother was getting more social. Usually he never let anyone get close to him. Gerard made a mental note to thank Bella later.

They rounded a sharp corner in the underground grave, and came face-to-face with a heavy-looking, tall, bronze double door.

"Great." Gerard muttered.

Ara

Ara looked at the door. It didn't look like a good thing. Silvin stopped right behind her and she could hear him sigh. He didn't like it either.

"So, how are we getting past that?" She asked,

"Don't know, they'll find a way." He mumbled.

Alise looked up at the double doors and smiled, "I can't believe this is still here." Without another word she grabbed Gerard's arm and dragged him up to it. They slowly stepped through.

"Whoa!" Gerard said once they were on the other side, "what was that?"

"It was an Illusion, we just had to go slow so we didn't trip over something."

Character: Kyte Starfriend (AElfwyn,don't have the accent)
Race: Half-High Elf
Looks: dark hair, green eyes. He wears the symbol of a heart and a silver arrow on his shoulder. Fair skin, if a little dusky.

A Quote: "Stars be funny things. They live, but don't."

"Are you sure we're not lost?" Bella murmured sleepily, looking around at all the different turn offs that they weren't taking.

"Yes," Alise answered from up in the front.

"We should stop," Nat said quietly. "It's nearly nightfall, and we all seem pretty tired." Everyone muttered in agreement, and Nat started a magical fire. Bella zoned out for a moment, taking in everything around her in moderation. When she realized what was going on around her, everyone had already sat down around the fire, and were talking quietly. She noticed Nat sitting off a ways, against the wall, and walked to him. His eyes were closed, and Bella considered walking away for a moment.

"May I sit here?" she asked hesitantly.

"Of course," he answered quietly, not opening his eyes. She sat down, trying not to get too close, in case he took her to be "eager"; she knew that would bother him. She was tired, and desperately wished for a pillow. Suddenly, as unexpectedly as him holding her hand, Nat had pulled her over so that she was leaning against his shoulder, his arm around her protectively. "You should sleep," he muttered. She nodded her agreement, closing her eyes.

Ara

Ara sat next to the fire and yawned. She looked around, there was nothing around she could lay on she she just pulled her legs up to her chest and rested her chin on them looking at the fire. Bella and Nat were sat against the wall Bella resting her head on him slowly going to sleep. She sighed, she was to tired to just sit there. She walked a little away from the group and leaned her head against a wall. She felt something nibbling at her hand and she looked down. A small chipmunk was sitting on her hand.

'What?' She asked tiredly.

'I thought you might want someone to stay close and warn you if someone comes close.' it replied happily,

'Suit yourself, I'm going to sleep.' She sighed leaning her head back down.


*Sorry, cant' think of anything else.*
