The Witchers

Kaladore sat against a tree, his head bowed almost in prayer. Prin and Ren, there's something about those two. It's clear Prin was lying the whole time, and in all honesty I could care less as to why, but some thing's coming. I'm restless. Why am I so restless? These and many more thoughts crowded Kaladore's head as he sat.

"Um, Kaladore, I brought you a cup of tea."

Looking up he saw Lila standing above him, a cup in her hand, "Thank you," she handed him the cup and began to walk away but Kaldore stopped her, "Please, take a seat." She smiled and sat down.

"You know Kaladore..." but she was interrupted.

"Kal," said Kaladore.

"What?"

"You can call me Kal for short." Looking up Kal starred blankly into the orange sky. "My father used to call me that before I left."

"Oh," Lila smiled again.

Kal turned away for a moment, then moved his gaze back at the sky.

"Kal, are you alright? You seem, tense?" Asked Lila.

"Do I?" Kaldore continued to stare at the sky half lost in thought.

"Ssshhh...." She wrapped her arms around the young dragon. She had felt the dragons loss of her mother, but could only physically talk to her. She could not hear this dragons voice.

"Do not worry young one, we will find her." Amy used her powers to soothe the dragon, and she could feel the emotional change almost as if the dragon had sighed in relief.

"What? You didn't ask me first!" The boy jumped up, and started throwing a fit. "You don't even know my name!"

"What does that matter?" She shot him an angry glare, "This poor creature has come to you for help, yet you try to ignore her for your own selfish reasons. How would you feel if someone took that friend of yours from you, and you had no idea where she was?" Amy let go of the dragon, and raised her tattooed arm into the arm.

"I'll call you back when we find her. Stay hidden and safe until then." The dragon whimpered, but obediently flew away.

(*facedesk* I'm gone again. *cries* Oh, well, time for Tobias to do something outrageous and lonely.)

Tobias

Tobi let out a heavy sigh, it seemed like just when he was going to strike up a conversation the person was called off. He rolled his eyes and stuck on one of his more bitter smiles. He hated sitting in silence, it always reminded him too much of the quiet ride from his old life.

Tobi smiled tainted into a frown and he shook his head, his curls bobbing along. He had to do something to take his mind of this boring silence. Magic. He could practice magic! Even when he was finished he would be so exhausted that the silence wouldn't even matter.

He nodded to himself and crept away from the camp. Once had had put a fair distance between himself and the camp he pulled his favourite dagger from his hip scabbard and aimed at a tree at least 2 kilometres away. He closed his right eye, aimed and then forced the symbol upon his dagger to activate.

It floated off the hilt and embodied itself into a floating glowing symbol directly in Tobi's eye-line. He grinned, pulled his arm back and then with a sudden lightning fast movement he threw.

The dagger, proceeded by the symbol, flew all the way to the tree in a matter of seconds. As the blade thudded sharply into the bark, Tobi already had other daggers out to follow. Tobi sprinted forward throwing more daggers, each aimed at something specific, each following the symbol by millimetres.

By the time Tobi was only three metres away from the tree he had run out of daggers. He grinned at his handiwork, sweat streaming down his face. Each dagger had all caught a falling leaf and together they all formed the shape of the symbol Tobi was so familiar with. The leaves formed a circle with a triangle in the middle touching each side to the circumference. And in the middle of the triangle rested a single dagger the tip just slicing the very, very end of the leaf.

Tobi grimaced, "I'm getting rusty with my multiple-continuous-magic-dagger-draw-sprinting."

As he picked out each dagger he carefully placed them back into their concealed places. His body felt heavy, and his eyes felt like lead. He had put off his exhaustion from catching up so fast with the others and now after using all his magic he felt like collapsing on the spot.

Tobias did just that. His eyelids clamped shut and just as he placed his favourite dagger into its scabbard he fell to the ground. Before he even hit it he was out. Tobi was right. In sleep the silence meant nothing.

Ren~

I watched as Samra flew up into the trees, losing herself in the thick vines her shadow vanishing from sight. The thought of loosing Prin made my heart skip a beat, I guess I hadn't noticed how selfish I was being. Shaking my head I stared up at the rogue witcher.
"I will help her find her mother" I said through gritted teeth. I saw her smile slightly
"Though not with you" I turend on my heel.
"What!" She shouted outraged "I am helping to"
"You'll only weigh me down" I began to walk away taking the track I had plotted through.
"Oh I will weigh you down" she said sarcastically following after me "I think you are doing a perfectly good job of that yourself"
"You know nothing about me so how can you judge" I pouted my lips at her
"You were judging me before" she shrieked into the heavans her loud voice pentrating my ears drums.
"Look" I twirled around stopping her in her tracks "You seem nice and all, but I don't need your help. Go annoy someone else" I sounded so arrogant and cocky, I wanted to say sorry but right now I didn't need someone following me.
"You think you are so good" she snapped "I doubt you'll even make a day out there alone"
"Trust me" I smirked "I have lasted many all by myself, you don't know anything about life till you see it through my eyes"
I turned and walked off cursing myself for sounding so stupid. I heard her begin to follow me reluctinly "I am not doing this for you, I am doing it for her the dragon". She walked in front of me leading the way back to camp.

Prin~

They were watching me, all of them judging why I was here. I turned around trying to find Ren. I saw the rogue witcher step out of the bushes shaking her head mechanically, Ren followed after her trying to reason something with her. I grinned as he looked up to see me. Runnign towards him I threw myself on him sending us both crashing on tot eh floor.
"You idiot you left me to tlak to them while you went off in to the bushes" I tried to look serious but failed.
He rolled to his feet brushing hte dirt from his hair "Lemme guess you made up some really bad lie and everyone knows you wre lying and now everyone is suspcious of us". I giggled and nodded childishly.
"How did oyu know?" I muttered, Ren looked around the camp and smiled.
"Lucky hunch or maybe it's because everyone is watching us. I don't know what do you think?" We both began to laugh, just like old times.
"So what did you say?" He asked. I watched the girl Sam form under my eye lashes. She was looking at us from the cover of her horse.Maybe I coudl trust her, I shook my head quickly turnign back to Ren.
"I said my sister got kidnapped" I bit my lip nervously seeing his face drop at my horrible horrible lie.
"Of course you did"


@ Light_Devil I can place your charater in my next one if you want.

*Uhhh, well, he's . . . unconscious. On the ground. I figured someone would eventually step on him. By all means include him. *

( I didn't mean to walk away from Tobi, but it just kinda happened. Sorry, Light!)

*Lol, its ok, thank you for the effort though. Hopefully someone will step on Tobi sooner or later.*

Samantha~~

Sam smiled back at the other girl, "It's okay, your secret being a secret is totally safe with me!"

This Prin blinked rapidly and stuttered, "Gosh darn it!"

"Hey whatever, if you make the wrong move I'll simply," Samantha made a cutting motion across her neck while smiling as sweetly as can be, "I'm just protective team mate is all and I can tell we will be the best of friends."

The girl looked flustered, "Really?"

"Duh, I'm not that mean," Samantha motioned a goodbye to Prin and headed back to the others.

Samantha skipped a bit and hummed, smiling to herself.

THUD

Samantha fell to the ground rolling, "Why hello there, I didn't know this region was known to sprout human bodies in all."

*Tobi is kind of unconscious but . . *

Tobias

A light brightened in his head and Tobi moaned at the words that blurred into his subconsciousness then muttered forth, "Mum?"

Before an answer came forth everything went black again.

Sorry mate!!1 I really am...*

Samantha~~

"Mates?!" Sam yelled, "I found a body!!"

Sam heard footsteps running toward her.

"I found him with my amazing ability to find objects," Commented Sam.


*there that should get a few people involved with Tobi and just an awesome fact is that everytime I see that name I thing "Yo name is Tobeh boy!" *thwack* "Kunta-kinte!" anyone seen that movie? You know.... with Toby...that's Kuntakinte?

*I've never seen the movie/show/book, but I have heard about it. *

Tobias

Tobi moaned. His head was filled of blackness, but deep inside that an image concealed itself. He wondered what it could be. With a bitter inner laugh he thought it was probably just something to trick him.

He, metaphorically speaking, turned his back to the hidden image and soaked into the darkness. The silence wasn't ever that bad when you were unconscious.


*He is still unconscious, but . . . he's kind of dreaming a bit.*

*can we wrap up the dragon thing? I don't want to get sidetracked much. and can everyone tell me who they're with? I think I got it right.*

Tristin~~

I took the saddle off the horse and tied it in a place where it could feed. I removed most of my weapons except for the gladius and left them in a pile with the saddle, hoping that there weren't any other hostiles in the area waiting to take their stuff.

The town was deserted. That was pretty obvious after five minutes of searching. There were no bodies, no corpses, and no other signs of life. Everyone was just gone, except for the soldiers that had been left behind. As for them, there was no unifying symbol on them. They seemed to just be casual mercenaries which wasn't all that odd. What was odd was that they had a dragon with them. There were dragons on the Dragon Coast, and they were fairly common, a mountain dragon was different entirely. A live one hadn't been seen in several decades, so a baby suggested a mother and father. If the dragons were coming out of hiding, something was definitely about to happen; and it would not be good.

I gathered all of the mercenaries bodies in a burning building on the edge of town and let them burn. It wasn't a fitting funeral, but it would have to do. I washed my hands in the river that flowed outside of town and ran back to camp, watching the ground for any sign of passage but there was none. It was empty.

The camp was exactly how I had left it, but only Lila and Kaladore were still there.

"Where'd all the others go?"

"Dunno."

"Kaladore, think you can watch camp?" He looked tired. Something was wrong.

"Sure."

"Lila, lets go get them. I wanna get dinner going and then get on the road early tomorrow. We have a lot of ground to cover and I dont want to be caught in another fight unless its absolutely necessary."

We found Sam and some others rather quickly, and after figuring that Toby was in a spell induced sleep we took him back to camp with one of the new witchers, and Sam came with us.

"Alright, any idea where they are?"

If this ever dies just give me a shout. I will gladly put it to rest with an ending.

haha I'll let you know.

*I would post, but Tobi is in a magic induced sleep.*
