Quest of the Magi (Accepting Last Character/Starting))

Wrayth Oleander
I bought 6 gallons of water and waited while Ken bought 3 other gallons. "Well let's start heading back." I said after he came up beside me. He nodded and we headed out of the store and made our way to the forest. I noticed a group of boys up ahead then I froze terrified. They were the boys that had raped me and a few of their friends. "Wrayth you ok?" Ken asked at the sound of my name the group turned around and smirked when they saw me. "Shit." I whispered my legs shaking.

As Ash laid there and Siris healed her i look up at the starts and just stared at them "Your not much help" I heard my brother say. "I miss you..." I whispered quietly. i got down and helped Siris heal Ash up and i just stayed quiet with tears in my eyes. After awhile i got up, something was up Wrath wasn't here i hop she was doing okay.

Veeren

I kept on running. I had no idea where I was going anymore, but I didn't stop. The wolves were still yapping and panting behind me, motivating me to move forward. I almost wanted to keep going forever.
Almost.

I froze when I noticed something through the corner of my eye. A town. And there were people there that I knew. It was Ken and Wrayth, with bags in their hands, and a group of boys approaching them.

By the look on Wrayths face, I could tell they weren't friendly.

Spoiler

My posts will be here as soon as possible...

Ken

"You okay?" I ask Wrayth, who had went pale. I glance back to see the boys. They gave off an aura that they were about to do something.

"D-Don't bother," Wrayth stuttered.

"Lets...knock them out at least and flee," I mutter.

Ash

I lie there, on the forest floor, for what seems like hours before suddenly Siris and Koitsuki appear at my line of vision. I shake my head slightly, feeling as there powers touch me, healing me quickly as possible. “Guys,” I try to say rationally but it comes out a croak, “There’s something really bad here. You have to get back to the campsite.”

"I know Ash, I can sense it too," I say, "But we needed to get you and now we need to get Wrayth before we go back to the safety of the treehouse. A quick training exercise will be done and then we need to get going to save that other girl. I think things will only get worse if we don't."

Ash


I nod at Siris, wishing that my head didn’t still hurt so badly. Siris and Koitsuki are healing but me something about this place…
I swear out powers don’t work so well. I couldn’t even stay in my other form for more than a few seconds…
Shaking the thoughts from my head and focusing on the people around me I sit up and feel all my bones pop back into place.
Then I look back up to the others, feeling the darkness at the edges of the area, coming closer again.

“It’s coming back again,” I whisper, not sure if either of them actually hear me. Not sure why I’m so scared all of a sudden.
I try again, keeping my voice calm as I can at the moment, “Alright. But… lets get out of here first.”

I nodded and helped her up and let her support herself on me. "She's right, lets move. If anyone that can fly knows were the rest went they should go and get them stat." I said alittle bossy, i didnt want to be but i wanted to make sure everyone was alright i was tired of seeing people hurting already.

Wrayth Oleander
I set the bags down and heard Ken do the same behind me. "So how's it going Wrayth?" Jacob one of the group called. "None of your business." I said bluntly. "Don't be like that hunny." He said. I flinched back. "Leave her alone." Veeren's voice said coldly. "Don't want to won't." Jacob replied. "Look walk away now." Ken said his voice deadly. "No." Jacob said and stepped forward he grabbed a piece of my hair between his fingers. Something inside me snapped and I punched him as hard as I could in the face. He was out cold. I grabbed my staff and whacked two others at the base of their necks.

Veeren

I was ready to jump the guys if I had to, but it seemed like Wrayth had it under control. She knocked three guys out like it was nothing, but there were still more. I didn't want to draw any attention to our group, so along with the pack of wolves, I decided to jump out the bushes.

While the wolves growled and surrounded the remaining group of boys, I went up to Ken and Wrayth.
"Let's get out of here. I think something's up with the others."
Putting my personal feelings behind me, I decided that I needed to be at the camp with everyone else right now. I just knew something was wrong.

-Ash-

As we walk out of the area the feeling of foreboding drifts away making me start to wonder if it was ever really there.

“So… What are we doing now?” I ask, looking up at the moon, which has recently risen. It isn’t really dark yet but it’s getting there. I look around, feeling so much better now. I stretch my arms out, looking at Siris and then at Koitsuki. “I can go and find the others if you want. I feel so much better now.”

Somebody nods and I launch forward a few steps, forcing the change through me and launching myself into the sky. Somebody takes a deep breathe behind me, shocked, but I don’t dwell on it. Flying feels so good, especially at night. I can see better than I ever could in my human form.
I push myself in the opposite direction, flying in the direction of what I can imagine that the others are. Then unexpectedly, I hear voices below me. They are grating and completely unfamiliar… unexpectedly dangerous in all of that.

Moving closer my head starts to throb but I do catch a glimpse of two people, dressed in dark clothing walking towards our campsite.
There is something unearthly about them… but I can’t tell what exactly. I shake my head, flying away from them… I’d rather not… almost kill myself again.

But now I have to warn the others. I fly in the direction of people until I hear more familiar voices.

Veeren

Walking back to the campsite was harder than I thought it would be. I made a mental to note to pay attention to where I was running next time.

I was about to make a turn onto what I believed was a familiar pathway when I tripped over something hard.

I stumbled but caught my balance and turned around to see what it was the wolves were yelping and sniffing at. I shuffled my way through them and found a sturdy looking hilt fixed onto the ground. I fixed my fingers around it and yanked up with all my might.

The next moment, I was staring at well built iron sword. It wasn't the most impressive looking thing, in fact it looked pretty basic, but it was something.

Unfortunately I couldn't celebrate for too long, there were voices nearby.

Holly

I look around one I hear a yelp that sounded like one of the wolfs then I hear a shuffle behind one of the bushes. I start to walk towards the sounds slowly not knowing what to expect was going to be there. So I shift into my snow leopard form just incase i have to attack anyone or thing that was in the brush. As I get closer someone comes out of the bush walking backwards then looking closer I see it was Veeren but before I changed back I smelled something different then I catch Veerens eyes. He mouths " There are people close by" and he shows my a sword that i didn't see earlier. So I nod and go into the brush to spy on the people and see if they where friend or enemy.

Wrayth Oleander
I touched Holly shoulder gently. "Edgar and the others don't think that they are friendly but they can't tell from the air. He thinks they've been watching us." I said my voice barely audible.

(Wow. It's been a while.)

Ash

I swoop to the ground quietly behind the others, trying to make as little sound as possible as I land.

"He thinks they've been watching us."
I step up quietly behind them, "He's right. They've been at the campsite since we got here. Maybe even before that..."

A few of them look startled and I back away, holding up my hands, "Sorry. I was just flying up there."

I point at the sky, "They're all over the campsite..."
I pause, feeling unsure, "What do we do?"
