Helios/Elder Tree forest:
“The plan is simple,” David affirmed. “We find the source of this...poison...and return to Norcaster.” the boy fidgeted self consciously “Agreed?”
"We already knew that Skippy." Helios said walking up the riverbank- eyes darting about, something was very off, you didn't need special abilities to know that... something foul was going on, he wrinkled his nose. "Oh god I just love the smell of rotting flesh in the mornings." He shouldered his pack and looked back at the others, "Okay kids- be on your guard, I'd suggest making sure your weapons are loosened in their sheaths."
"Wait why?"
"Because most likely somethings going to attack us and I've seen enough people get ripped in half because they weren't ready for an attack- always be on your guard."
Helios didn't like this set up- yes all these kids had impressive abilities- or so the queen had said but as for warriors? Every single one was wet behind the ears and not seasoned fighters- they knew how to fight, that was clear but they had no real experience at it.
"Come on everyone." David their self appointed leader squared his shoulders and started into the forest, thankfully he looked ready for a fight. The others fell into step behind him- Helios himself taking the rear place, if they were attacked, whatever was attacking would go for the person in the back, and Helios intended to make sure these kids got home in reasonably good shape- they had reasons to go home.
