(Sorry the internet is very spotty where I am. I just have three more to write.)

Eric
Eric didn't pull back on Schatten's reins until the girl stopped by a river. He confidently nods to Aria, motioning that he was okay as far as injuries were concerned. Sliding out of the war horse's saddle Eric joins Aria and the other girl by the river to let the horses drink and rest. Before pressing onwards away from the enemies occupying the Ferden Castle. He gave no outward sign that his dark gem was bothering him. It pulsated angrily and made the right side of his head throb in pain. Eric turns to Serena as she introduced herself and asked what they were doing at the castle." A reconnaissance mission. My name is Eric Orcslayer a warrior for the Royal Advisors, and this is Aria Wick she's also a warrior working for the Royal Advisors. While I am grateful for you helping us escape, but why were you already so close to castle that's full of orcs and demons?" He answered with a monotone voice and inquires warily about her actions. His ice cold gaze locked on Serena just in case she was working for the enemy. Eric was about to answer Aria's question, then she dismissed it, and stated that she wanted to talk to him. Assuming she meant in private he nods and moves away from Serena to stand near the trees. He angled his body so he could keep Serena in his good peripheral vision and look at Aria at the same time. Yet a sinking weight dropped into his stomach. What did she wish to discuss with him. Was it about how he held the right side of his head when the dark gem pained him? Could it be the situation they had witness inside the castle walls? Either way he had a good hunch that this wasn't going to be a pleasant conversation.

Errtu & Tenna
Errtu actually flinched at her threat and hung his horned head. That feat in of it's self was a rare accomplish for a mortal. Errtu respected Tenna highly and had no intentions of betraying or disappointing her. Alas he had disappointed her twice now. A disgrace to any demon lord. Now Kale was a whole other snake nest that Errtu wanted to burn to ashes." I apologize Mistress. These trespassers are highly trained warriors and I was caught off guard when one of them used the powers of a light gem to blind me." Errtu's voice trailed off once he took in Tenna's anger twisted face and the tips of her pointy ears were bright red." That is no excuse Errtu! You are supposed to be this powerful demon lord? Yes!? So how in the nine rings of hell did you let these warrior miscreant escape!? Tenna said only growing more angry with the demon lord. She shakes her head as Errtu goes to open his mouth and tries to speak." No Errtu I don't want to hear what you have to say for yourself." Tenna held her staff up and the tip began glowing red and black." Errtu Sonoreahzal! The contract between use is over return to your domain." A circle with ancient writing appeared below the demon's feet taking him back to hell. Errtu straighten his posture and looked at Kale with a fleeting grin on his face before his was gone in a flash of black smoke that smelled like brimstone and sulfur. Tenna takes a few deep breaths to calm down her temper and begins walking back into the passageway." Don't worry Kale I have a plan do get things done around here and stretch our rein over Ferden." She said softly and a smile fit for a villain graces her lips.

Lekunai & Tanno
Tanno raised an eyebrow at Cole's comment. He didn't know how to respond to it...at first." Well lad if I were you I'd keep those wayward eyes of your's starring at something else. Or you just might wake up tied to a tree." Tanno said joking with the young man and scoots closer to the fire to enjoy it's warmth and the smell of cooking quails. He nods thoughtfully at Jay's and Alorn's suggests that Arnen Hills was a good spot to settle down for his old and creaky bones." I may have to check it out when we past by there to go to the castle. It sounds good to me so far." He said looking up at the starry night sky daydreaming about the warmer weather and peaceful town of Arnen Hills. Lekunai also knew that Cole was only joking around and just playfully scolds him. She turns to Jay and smiles sweetly at him happy that he was sitting by her instead of sitting by himself like a loner. After that she cuts into one of the quails to check if they were done. Seeing only juicy white bird meat she gestures to the roasted birds." Dinners ready, there's enough for everyone to have their own quail." She states and moves the skewered bird away from the fire. Tanno wasted no time grabbing one of the shish kabob quails, tearing off a leg, and biting off the meat." Mmmm this is good. Nothing beats fire roasted meat." He said chewing methodically then swallows and continues eating. Tanno didn't mind eating a little messier out in the wild than in a house or tavern. After all there was a river behind them to wash up in. Lekunai grins and hands everyone a quail, except for Talia and Bane. The two had moved away from the group and she thought it was best to leave them alone. Yet that didn't stop her from offering a fresh hot meal to them." Talia? Bane? There's two quails over here if you want to eat them." She politely calls out to them and nods to the golden brown birds by the fire. Kilala finished one of the deer in three bites, licking her whiskers she looks down at the last deer, then at the large talking wolf resting his head on the strange new girl's lap. Glancing back down at the deer the tilynxess huffs and stands up on her huge white and silver stripped paws. Gently picking up the deer by the neck with her jaws she cautiously walks over to the strange pair. She heard a little bit of the song the girl was sing and thought that she had a pretty singing voice. Kilala stops about a foot and a half away and slowly drops the deer to the ground. Watching the wolf's reaction she chuffs once and takes a couple steps back to sit down on her haunches. Questioningly tilting her head the giant feline was giving Bane a peace offering and an apology for snarling at him earlier. Other than the crushed neck the deer was untouched. Lekunai witnessed Kilala do this and could help but smile at her companion's kind action.

Faren
Faren couldn't look away from Winston as Isis placed her hand on his arm. He was scared that if he did glance away from him that he'd try to hurt his mom or maybe even Isis. It did help calm him down a little until Winston noticed Isis putting her hand on his son's arm. He grins showing his black teeth while leering at her." My what a pretty girlfriend you have Faren. I'm coming in and once I'm done with beating my lessons back into you, your brothers, and Grace. I'm going to have a little chat with her about the rules." He said with a smug look on his face and boldly took a step forward. Faren was seeing red at that point not only was Winston intending on harming his mother and brothers. He was also going to lay his hands on Isis! Faren quickly shoves Winston back with one arm while Isis's hand was gently resting on the other. Winston stumbled back not only unbalanced by Faren's shove but also from the alcoholic drinks he drank heavily beforehand." If you lay a hand on any of them! I'll kick your tail to the dirt, bury you in the ground with just your head exposed, and hand you over to the authorities! This isn't your house anymore and you are trespassing on private property." He shouted at Winston. Yet he didn't moved forward in order to keep his body in between Winston, his mom, and Isis. Winston regained his balanced and composure all the while glaring at Faren." We'll see about that boy. Don't forget that I have a magic gem too." Winston said still glaring daggers at Faren. Grace whimpered in fear having faced his terrible magic before she hoped that she'd never have to see it again. Faren heard his mother's fearful cry and reaches behind with his free hand to grasp her's." Mom...go into the other room please. Don't worry I can handle this. I don't want you to see what happens Faren said softly trying to sooth Grace's fears so she could walk into the other room. Grace meekly nods once, backing away from the door she looks at Isis then bolts for the kitchen. Except she didn't go in there to hide. Grace was going to get help. Faren's brothers. Winston leered past Faren enjoying the sight of Grace running away from him. Faren took this chance to talk too Isis." Isis if Winston comes at me or tries to get in the house. Please let go of my arm when that happens. I don't want you accidentally getting hurt if I have to fight him." He whispered to her, his voice was soft and concern for her safety was evident. Winston brought his venomous gaze back to Faren and electricity appeared on his left hand slowly climbing up his arm. Winston had a light gem that he transformed into an electricity gem.

((That's fine. We've been having bad weather on and off where I'm at and its been slow computer hasn't been working with the internet just my phone so far and my tablets completely crashed.))

~Kale~
Kale was casually standing by Tenna watching the exchange between the two. Oh yea Errtu had it coming now. Things seemed slow pace between they're reign over Ferden. It was agony waiting for things to grow dark over Ferden. He watched as the Demon lord was sent back to hell, not missing the demons grin. Hmm..he may have to be careful for awhile watching his back. Kale turned to Tenna when the commotion wad over and she began to speak. I can't wait...im going to send word to my brother Cain. I think its time he joins us.(Cain is just going to be a 'who cares' character he can be killed off.) He's been an apprentice for some time learning some spells, potions, and a fee other tricks." Kale explained with a satisfied grin. Luckily for the two brothers they had a connection that was mainly embedded in an amulet that hung around both of their necks all they had to do was grasp the necklace and the other would glow and give a message that the sender was thinking. Which is exactly what Kale did.

~Serena~
Serena looked over both of them. "Royal Advisors huh? Aren't they supposed to oh I don't know protect the castle and kingdom not let it fall?" She said mainly because he was eyeing her as if she was one of the demon creatures that spilled into the castle. "If I was one of them, I would have already killed you. I was tracking with two other people I ran into. Something about looking for one of the royal survivors or something. I guess we got separated." She managed to say before he walked off. "Yea no more working in groups..."she mumbled as the two walked off to talk alone. Serena looked back towards the path they ran from, trying to spot Hawk, Dererh, and the other strange creature. She assumed with everyone running all around they either fell behind or made a wrong turn. They're tracks were still fresh so she didn't worry about them not finding they're way back to the group.


~Lilly~
Lilly smiled more when she saw Luke give a real smile for once. It was rare, but she was beyond happy. Lilly's heart gave a little jump, when Luke placed the scarf around her shoulders, giving him a nod in thanks. "Yea...or how fast they run." She mumbled though hoping they didn't have to worry about another run in with those things. Lilly walked to her horse, leading him away from the water to get on. 'Lucky' for Luke she didn't see him give Thunder a treat, since she was busy hoping on her horse. "So I was thinking.." she began, but she herself wasn't quite sure about it. " I have an older distant cousin... actually I'm not sure if we are really cousins at all...but anyway he rules over a neighboring kingdom. Even though my family and I have had no contact with them for several years..and they aren't the friendliest people..but maybe he will let us borrow his army." It did sound outrageous to just storm in somewhere and ask for an army. " I'm sure he will want something In return, but still it would be an army and give Ferden a fighting chance." She said throwing that idea out.

~Jay/Alorn~
Cole guessed right, it did get under Jays skin with what he said. Jay gave Cole an annoyed look, slightly tilting his head at him. "I agree with Tanno." he replied after Tanno suggested he keep his eyes away from Lekunai. Jay mentally let out a 'huff' before thanking Lekunai for handing him a bird. He gently elbowed Lekunais arm right before she was going to take a bite earning a little smudge rubbing off on her nose. Jay smirked looking up innocently like he didn't do anything, almost with a boyish look . Jay occasionally glanced at the new comers, not wanting his guard to fall down. Alorn applauded hearing Talias song. "That was lovely, now come join us for a meal and sing here." Alorn said just being his genuine kind self. Alorn then kindly accepted the bird handed from Lekunai. "Mmhm smells good, i feel like i haven't eaten in ages." He said taking a slow savoring bite. "Im still a better cook though!" He teased with a little chuckle. Alorn turned to Arabella, offering Jax a little bite. "So what are your plans after all of this trouble is over with?" He asked curiously, before taking another bite of the perfectly cooked bird.


~Isis~
Isis kept her breathing as evenly as she could, but no doubt she was worried about what could happen. This drunk man infront of them was unpredictable. She had anger bubbling through her just looking at him from the stories Faren had told her about. When Winton opened his mouth to speak, isis flinched at how horrible his teeth were, the smell was strong and hovering in the air. Cessnas fur stood up, still standing by isis, her body pressed into Isis for comfort and a fierce protectivness of her. The anger that stirred in earlier threatened to go over as Winston threatened not only her, but Faren and his family. She felt a need to protect them, even though her small frame would easily lose against Winstons strength. Guess it's a good thing she more agile and quick. She would stand with this family and wouldn't back down if it came to it. Cessna barred her teeth hearing what the man had to say, she took a step closer ready to go at command or if he laid his hands on anyone. Isis jumped out of suprise, when Faren shoved Winston back. Winston stumbled back not only from Farens strength but because of the amount he drank. It would be easy to end this quickly...so she thought. When Grace lwt out a yelp, Isis shot her head back to look at her. Farens gentle voice and way seemed to help put her at ease atleast for a little bit. Good she's getting the boys. Isis thought relieved that Winston would be outnumbered. Isis looked up to Faren when he told her to let go if something were to start. She reluctantly nodded, realizing her hand had been on his arm the whole time. A crackling noise brought isis and Cessnas attention back to Winstons hand as his gem began to come to life. Isis let go of Farens mainly out of being shocked (pun not intended) it was very rare to have such an ability. Espicially when Winston seemed so uneducated. Cessnas ears pinned back , and her head lowered slighty not liking the noise one bit and the atmosphere seemed to change drastically. A shiver ran down Cessnas spine in fear, but she kept her loyal position near isis. Isis quickly took out her set of throwing knives, and making sure her dagger was strapped on her belt line. This was going to get ugly...

(Is this rp dead? )

[Dracowolf]

((Hi guys. Miss me?))

[Okami<3]

( That answer would be a yes! Welcome back Draco! We didn't go that far without you. So you can pop your characters back anywhere you want them to be. I'm almost finished with editing my post.)

Dereth Wolfheart, Damion "Hawk" Raynor

Dereth was ready to fight to the death, this was what he was trained for, he'd give everyone the time they needed to escape. That was what he did. Then everything just seemed to happen so fast. Next thing he seemed to know was he was out of the fight and away. It was a flurry of fire, arms and horses. Eventually his feet were off the ground and he found himself being carried by Hawk. The idiot never knew when to stay out of trouble.

"This does not count as you saving my life," Dereth couldn't help but tease. There was something important he had learned a long time ago, when you face death every day of your life you learn to joke to keep yourself stable. That was how he lived.

"I'm sure it doesn't," Hawk knew the exact same, possibly better than Dereth did.

"Where'd we lose the others?" Dereth questioned only once they landed near their horses, Valor ready to fight still.

"Their horses ran for it and I grabbed you before you did anything stupid. The demon gave up once he lost sight of us it seems," Hawk explained as he mounted his own, wings folding up against his black again. "I can catch up to them but I'm not sure if you can." Dereth's horse was certainly slower than Hawk's, made form sprints really and heavy combat.

"We try anyways," Dereth pulled on Valor's reigns to get his attention. "We need to know what they know about who survived and where they went."

"What about that creature with them?" Hawk questioned as he followed Dereth's lead, they were already bringing their horses to a canter.

"We'll figure that out later," Dereth yelled over the flurry of hooves that came as they rode.

Torquil

It had been an accident when he separated from the others after what had happened. His body was still weak from trying to heal itself. He could keep up with the others on foot but in the dust that was kicked up and the roars that caused him to look away, he had taken a brief wrong turn. He spent his time back tracking and trying to find them. He had come across them again, but he stayed back in the shadows, looking like a statue. He wasn't sure what the proper response to everything was. He supposed he had to thank them for saving him from the demon but he didn't know what else to do. So, he stood there and watched, not exactly hidden very well considering his size and the fact he didn't try to conceal himself. He only stood back looking confused.

Natalia "Talia" Svear and Bruce "Bane" Swiftstride

Talia and Bane had found their way to the edge of the camp. They might have agreed to travel with the group but the simple fact was Talia had no interest in socializing and Bane's nerves always wanted Talia beside him. Bane nuzzled against Talia, as if trying to comfort and get her attention. It was an attempt to get her to lighten up about everything. Talia responded by humming at first, thinking no one could hear her. She sang softly as she ran her hands through Bane's thick brown fur, causing her wolfish friend to relax and flop down, head in her lap. She almost seemed like there was nothing wrong in the world, that things hadn't been getting steadily worse everywhere. That attacks in places like this were less frequent than they were. It was like it was a normal day, and she had just stopped to rest with her friend. Bane sighed and softly as he listened, giant body laying on the ground like an overgrown dog. He may be humanoid in many aspects but he still had several characteristics of a canine that he couldn't deny. Having Talia run her hands through his fur and scratch behind his ears certainly was pleasant.

"Fear not this night, you will not go astray. Though shadows fall, still the stars find their way. Awaken form quiet sleep, hear the whispering of the wind. Awaken as the silence grows in the solitude of the night." She kept her voice soft, hoping no one would dare to get close to her. She was basically a knife wielding maniac after all with a giant wolf friend.


((I think that should work as a general thing on posting without trying to figure out how to interject them randomly back into conversations. The song is Fear Not This Night, which was part of Guild Wars 2 but I know the Malukah version.))
