Aedion watched as Ana continued fighting. He didn't like it at all. He wanted her to go with the civilians to a safe place because she was hurt, but he wouldn't say that to her face. He knew better than that. Still it bothered him to see her still fighting like that when she was obviously in pain.That just meant however that he had to fight harder. The quicker he took it down the better. If it died it couldn't hurt anyone. Aedion gave Yu a thumbs up to tell him to keep doing his good work, meanwhile Aedion prepared. He sprinted forward and jumped from the ground to the monsters arm, and from there launched himself towards it's face where he delivered numerous quick jabs with his sword, before descending to the ground once again.
"Yeah I have some extra food. Give me a minute." Adelina said as she walked to the kitchen and found some extra lunch and brought it out. "It might be a little cold but it is still edible." Adelina said as she set it down on a clean table. "Perhaps this would make a good dinner, the Hunters haven't come back yet and I could really use getting started on it." Adelina said, "And I don't know where everyone is. I mean outside of meal times everyone goes to their own jobs and do their own things. This area is usually closed during this time." Adelina explained. "As far as I have heard no one is injured but I mean I am just the cook worker. Though someone did die... Issac, my kitchen helper..... Anyways I have to go start on dinner. Thanks for the kill." Adelina said as she lifted it up and brought it to the kitchen for preparation. Flame sat kneeling on the building knowing it was too late now. "They have them... I failed. Four people died and two were captured on my watch. I can't do this. I can't be a leader. I failed them..." Flame stammered as she looked down at the ground. "They recognized me... but not by my ears... how... they talked of another I looked like. Do you think..... Do you think it wasn't a titan that killed my mom. Dad always said I looked like her.... I can't..." Flame looked like she was about to cry. Turning around she shot off her Manouver gear and got herself outside the walls of the city before transforming into a leopard. She looked back once to make sure that Gale was following and she wasn't going to lose him too before taking off towards the city, she had to see her father. She couldn't let Drake be taken and not lead an assult to get him back, and she needed to know the truth on her mother. Then there was Veera. She didn't really know the woman all too well but she had done her best to try to protect her, Flame needed to return the favour. "Take both of them in the walls now. Before they cause more trouble. Help those injured get inside too if you can. We won't leave them out here as food for the Titan's, they have already destroyed enough." The leader commanded glaring at Veera who tried to spit on him, but he just stepped out of the way. He lead the group inside the second wall and from there went to a government controlled building and tied the two prisoners up in a dark room. "Now tell me, where does that Fae girl hide?" The man asked as he picked up a knife and held it to Veera's neck. hopefully a threat like this in a situation they had no hope of fighting back would convince them
"Yes your greatness." Annabelle responded with the expected response. But it wasn't going to be fun at all. She didn't like the idea of more training, she just wanted to sleep. She wanted to get clothes, be warm, and sleep, was that really too much to ask for? It seemed like it with Yana as her teacher. Annabelle scurried to follow behind Yana through the portal, only to find them outside the cave. Was that really the best use of the portals? She couldn't use them herself but she was sure she would use it to travel further when she eventually was able to use them as most mages were able to. Annabelle just hoped that Yana would make her to potion soon so she wouldn't be as sick. "Oh, sir! Sorry sir! I didn't know this was a problem sir. I didn't think the library was fully out of bounds and this was just a cool corner I found. We haven't touched any of the books sir, I swear." Aaron went on trying to apologize, forgetting about the fact he was not wearing a shirt once more. Probably not the most presentable he could be. "This was all my fault sir, I take full responsibility." Aaron then told the man, hoping not to get Olivia in trouble because of his mistake. Aaron then started to make his way back to the front entrance signalling Olivia to follow. Aaron had a feeling that this was not the end. He was not off the hook yet. He just hoped it wouldn't take too long before he could get back on the road. He needed to make money and more importantly make it back to Tatiana. He wondered what she would think of him now that he was all grown up. He had to have been twelve when he left, and now nineteen he had grown quite a bit.He imagined Tatiana had too, but he didn't dwell on that too much. He preferred to think of the sweet fifteen year old from hen she hadn't started work at a brothel. Though Seth was in pain a smirk appeared across his face. "You must be Michael. I also heard they can fight better then any other angel." Seth added a wink at the end. She was asking for it after all but he wouldn't say that to her face. Who just walked up to a stranger and wraps their arms around him without asking for something. He was just giving her what she seems to be asking for. Seth was just giving her what she wanted, and who didn't want him after all? He was smooth and did he mention good in bed. After all that whore from before could attest to that. That was before he hurt her that was. Seth let out a big sigh as Bryce called him away. He wanted to stay and talk with Tessa longer but he was trying so hard to get into Bryce's good books after all the danger he just put them all in, that he reluctantly followed. "Hey I will see you later, right? I would love to get to know you a little better." Seth said to Tessa, tipping his hat before turning to follow behind Bryce.
"Are you sure it is okay if I use that one? I won't be in anyways way or anything? I don't want to intrude or anything. I don't have to make us food if it isn't a good place for it." Silvia said looking down in a slightly shy manner. She felt like going behind the bar might have been off limits for them, and that made her slightly nervous. But she did suppose that Leo was S-class so he would know what he was talking about. So perhaps she should just believe him and let him lead the way. Thea nodded and Vances suggestion. A drink and some rest sounded very good indeed. "That sounds like it would be very nice father." Thea said as she leaned on him slightly too keep herself from stumbling too much. She could see that they were approaching the guild. They were almost there, that was good, she needed to get there so she could rest. Her head spun too much to be walking too much farther. She hated when she used all her magic, but it was the only way to guarantee not exploding again right away while her emotions were still on the edge. She wouldn't know if something would set her off as soon as she was around people again and not have time to find a place that would be safe for them. It was better this, being dizzy like this, than hurting others. After a while of just sitting there, Trevor realized that he couldn't do that much more, he had to go back to the guild and show his face. He was an S-class damn it, and disorder or not he had to act like one. Trevor held his head high as he walked back to the guild hall trying not to think too much on what he had done. He noticed in the distance, smoke that was dying down. He had a feeling it was from one of them, perhaps the new girl he had been told about, the unstable child. Trevor just hoped it wouldn't cause too much of a mess for him to clean up later. Arriving at the guild he decided the best thing for him to do was help at the bar. For some reason neither Johanna or Mikasa was there. He didn't read into it too much, just figured they were busy, so he found an apron for around his waist and went to work on cleaning up the bar area, organizing it, and getting ready for anyone that might come along.
It seemed that everyone was gone and Yana was now tapping on the shell that she created. She slowly lowered the shell and looked up at Yana, fear and confusion still apparent in her eyes. Annabelle looked away as she began to cough from Yana being near. She hoped that Yana would make whatever she needed to make soon so she could hopefully feel at least slightly better. Always being sick was getting a bit annoying and hard to concentrate and hard to sleep. Sleep actually sounded really good to the girl given she hadn't properly slept through the night in a while. "Do I get clothing after?" Annabelle hesitated to ask, but she was cold without any and she didn't want anyone else to see her, not like that. It was more than a little embarrassing and people assumed the worst about her situation, though it was bad. "I'm nineteen." Aaron responded. Then Olivia seemed to take his comment too seriously. Aaron made a point of paying no mind to it. He shoved his hands in his pocket as he entered the library. "There is a lot of interesting things about a library, I love them, but there is one area in particular that I love." Aaron explained as he lead Olivia through rows of book cases and around various corners, heading into deeper and darker area's of the library. Finally he came out at a back wall after going through a labyrinth of books. The back wall was covered in tapestry. Above it was a stain glass window casting a colourful glow on old intricately designed books. "This was always my favourite place to come to get away from people. Not many people venture this far into the library, and it isn't easy to get and easy to get lost in here." Aaron explained as he ran his fingers over the intricately designed tapestry. "You know what she deserved." Seth said making a humping motion. "Don't worry, I paid enough in the first session for the second one which I took advantage of later. She will get plenty of money for the entertainment she provided me. Unfortunately for our greedy witcher friend, I might have spent too much on her and can't afford to give him more, but if he is with us he can't tell her where I am." Seth stated not batting an eye at the annoyed voice of Bryce, or Callums sad attempt at getting more money out of him. When the arrived at the sanctuary it didn't feel like a punishment being brought there. A really pretty girl approached him, wrapping her arms around him as she spoke. "I am Seth, and you must be Michael because I have never seen an angel that could top you." Seth said as he wrapped his arms around Tessa's waist and gave her butt a squeeze. Hey she was asking for such things by coming so close to him. Seth was not afraid of flirting in public, and if the girl didn't like it, well he had been through a lot worse than a slap on the face.
The boss was dead, that was good, but that left Lucas without a team or anything to focus on. He was usually a solo player but the feeling of having someone care to work with him and try, it felt good. However that was what he feared most. He would befriend someone then soon after die, leaving them alone. However that was always the risk in a death game like this, but in his case it was more so than normal. Death games, life threatening illness, depression induced suicide thoughts, he had had enough of it. He was sick of fearing death but also wanting it. And more so he was sick of fearing who he might leave behind. He hated being so lonely, it only fed the depression. But he couldn't be with too many people either because he might die. In the end his life was simply horrible and there was nothing he could do about it. Grumpy Lucas started back to town with the rest. Buying some supplies and resting a bit would be good before he moved on. He knew that he had to pace himself if he was going to survive. This wasn't his first time playing one of these games, he knew how to do it. He wouldn't let the game kill him, is step mother might, but not this game. He refused. So back to town he went. "Can we please rest a bit? I am still confused and so much is being thrown at me at once. I just need a rest." Samantha told the two boys. They might have been fine but they were more experienced. Samantha barely knew what she was doing so she was tiring out a bit quicker. Plus the amount of orcs that were coming after them at once just in this area scared her, if there was more... Well she didn't know what she would do about that. If they moved on the enemies would be harder, could she survive that? Samantha doubted it. Perhaps teaming up with these two wasn't such a great idea, they seemed too ambitious for her skill level.
"I asked to skip the whole plan part you damn musical b*stard. It is super annoying. I hope you know that." Karina growled as she eyed the mad doctor. She thought through the skills she knew how to use and was more than a little tempted to use Zantetsuken on the man. However he mentioned one way to get out that made Karina curious. If people remember their deeds. So basically if the people they helped remembered them, they would have a chance at getting out? Karina ignored all the looks and comments from the others from when she first spoke, and focused fully on the Mad Doctor. "I pity you. Trying to be so threatening in desperation of getting out of here because no one ever cared for you enough to think about you once and a while, where you went. So you are stuck here. The world is probably better off without you anyways. Why would anyone care or think about a scumbag like you?" Karina insulted. She then backed down a slight bit and lowered her keyblade. "You need us to try to get you out, but it won't work. I don't know how you plan to do it, but it won't work. There is nothing you can do to us to grant yourself freedom from this place. And I hope you aren't looking for pure hearts here. Mine is as black as coal. Don't even know why I have this damn thing, but I warn you, you cannot take it from me, but I invite you to try." If Karina could keep the mad doctor occupied on her, even if he tried to hurt her, it would give the others time to find a solution and save them, that was her plan but she wouldn't tell anyone else that. After all she needed them to act normal and not give away that she was doing this for the purpose of pissing him off. Her keyblade now lay next to her in the cage but she didn't worry about it, instead staring down the mad doctor to see what he would do. She seemed defenseless and out of luck in the cage but the bars looked far enough apart she could get her hands through. That was all she needed if he would go over towards her.
Adelina watched the boy she asked to help with dishes run through and leave. Adelina just looked down slightly sad, again feeling like no one actually cared to be around her, except Zack apparently. Adelina went back to chopping her vegetables for dinner that night, the hunters still hadn't come back with meat for that night yet, though that was fine they still had time before they had to be back, that was when she heard the cafeteria door open. No one should be there, it was between meals, nothing was being served and it was too close to after lunch for anyone to be searching for a midday snack. Adelina heard her name being called, so washing off her hands she walked out into the dining area to see a carcass on one of the tables, causing blood to be on her nicely cleaned dinning area. Adelina sighed, not looking forward to the extra work that cleaning up the mess would cause. "Karen good to see you back safe, we were all worried." Adelina said as she approached the girl, hiding perfectly the slight annoyance for the extra mess and distraction from her work when she was short handed as it was. Adelina looked perfectly happy and perfectly fine to Karen. "I am rather busy with dinner preparations, but whats up?" Adelina asked, trying to indicate to be fairly fast with the conversation. The king almost rolled his eyes when someone else showed up. He was not giving them something to do as well. He had set up a training session to keep the two newest graduates out of trouble, expecting everyone else to either be working or know what to do themselves. He let Griffin come just because he was talking to Tessa and it seemed rude to pull her away without saying something to him. But then he followed and only caused trouble making King Rhysand regret inviting him. Everything was just getting to be a bit annoying and a bit much for the king to deal with right now, but he would because he was the king and that was his job. He didn't however say anything to the boy that joined them in the training arena. If he wanted to train he could do it on his own. Flame heard Veera order to get her out. "No, you have to escape. I am healthy enough to fight. It will be fine! Just get yourself out!" Flame ordered, but it was too late, Gale had listened to Veera and grabbed her as he flew off with his 3DMG. "No, as an order from your princess we must go back and save them!" Flame tried to order Gale as blood from the cut over her eye dripped onto him. "I am your princess and have more authority than either of them." It was clear that Flame wasn't thinking logically but instead letting her emotions control her. She knew that they were outnumbered and she had to live for the sake of her people. But still they were leaving Veera behind, and more importantly Drake. She couldn't stand the thought of leaving Drake. Tears formed in Flames eyes as she stopped struggling against Gale so much, this was mostly for the sake of her head hurt from the attack and constant shifting and struggling would only make it worse. As much as they tried the people were not fast enough to stop Gale and the Fae from escaping their graps. However they were still left with two and the echoing of the fae girl yelling to let her go back. With their entire team to focus on two people they could easily capture them now. When the two were finally captured the leader turned to the rest. "Keep them alive for now. Perhaps our fae friend will return for them and then we can rid the world of another of her kind, hopefully the last. Or perhaps we will be able to convince our friends here to tell us where they have been hiding out, right Veera?" The man asked as he walked over, ripped off Veera's makeshift bandage and stuck his finger in her wound to cause her as much pain as possible.
The banging on the door made Tatiana more than a little worried, and that was clear from her expression. Tatiana was almost holding her breath when the door burst down. Verra made quick work of undoing her restrains and wrapping her naked, body that was still covered in now drying blood. Tatiana pulled the blankets in closer to her, trying to warm herself, though her brow was covered in sweat. Tatiana only nodded when Verra instructed her to hide under the bed if she didn't return in five minutes. Everything was going so damn wrong today. Could it just be at least quiet while she was healing, or dying, depending how she made it through the rest of the healing process with the potion. Tatiana's eyes were drooping as she lay curled up in bed, but she wouldn't let them close. Her fear never faded, the fear of if she fell asleep that she would not wake up again. Instead she turned her focus to moving her arms and legs slightly, get the blood flowing through them properly again. It hurt to be sure, not just because of the injuries but also from being held in one place too long, but she could manage, or she thought she could. The more she moved them around the closer the the edge of her eyes tears came. Damn it was all so painful. But she was going to be okay. She was going to be okay for Aarons sake, like she always had been. She would stay strong for Aaron. She did when her mom died and when her dad left, she could do it so she wouldn't too leave. Aaron would still have someone care for him. "Tatiana is older, by four years." Aaron informed Olivia. That was why she thought she had to take care of him so much, That was why she had to go to work, not him, that was why she was in the place she was in now. If only he had been born the oldest, then maybe he could have done something for her. Olivia then asked about the people staring at them. "Well there could be a couple reasons for that. First, most people here knew how eager I was to leave when most stick around to get a little help finding their first few jobs. If not that then there is always the fact that there is a guy without a shirt walking around with a pretty girl." He suggested, not seeming to care what they thought. "Anyways lets get moving, there is a really cool spot in the corner of the library here that I could show you. Follow me." Aaron said as he walked off not seeming to care too much about what the other people thought of him. "I didn't do anything too back. Just gave a whore what she was asking for in front of a Witcher. Don't worry about it. I made sure she would be kept busy for quite a while in Novigrad. She has no clue where I went so it will be fine. She won't follow us." Seth told Bryce, brushing off the seriousness of the situation. He wasn't going to tell them exactly what he did or how he kept the witcher busy, it might get him in a little too much trouble. "She won't find us, I promise. Now stop being so serious it is such a downer you know that." Seth told Bryce. "Here have a drink." He handed Bryce a bottle of alcohol he had lifted from one of the taverns. "Just try not to get as drunk as him, I don't want to be carrying both of you back." Seth told them, obviously not happy that Zack managed to be drunk enough that he needed help getting back.

"Conrad once told me that in the guild we are all comrades and that title doesn't matter here. Why can't anyone else see that? Was he lying or does no one else get that? They make judgments based on something that doesn't matter here and it is not right." Thea stated before settling into the comfort that was Vance. He was going to take her home but asked her to not burn anything else down, making it sound like something really bad would happen if she did. "Am I in trouble? Are the police going to come for me cause I burnt down this old barn?" Thea asked in a tired voice as she stared at the flames. She didn't want to get in more trouble and she didn't want Vance to have to deal with a big problem cause she couldn't control her powers. On the way back to the guild, Vance had to stop to set her on the ground, asking her to walk. She was still really light headed and tired from using so much magic, but her father needed her to walk, so she guessed that she could try to walk. Thea nodded before Vance put her down. As she stood at first her vision went black for a second then soon went back to normal. With that dealt with she went to step forward, follow behind Vance, but she stumbled a little, catching herself on Vance's arm. "Sorry, I am a but dizzy." She explained as she continued trying to walk, gripping onto Vance's arm to keep herself steady. "Okay, that's fine." Silvia responded to Leo as she looked down at her hand in his. Standing in the guild and not walking around away from the guild, holding hands started to feel a little weird for Silvia, so she soon removed her hand from his. Silvia looked around the guild hall for something to do, but nothing came to mind. Perhaps cook? Food was always good. Silvia looked back at Leo. "Is there a kitchen somewhere here I can use? I can cook us some good food. I am hungry after all." Silvia said as she thought about cooking something. It had been quite since she had last cooked. It would be a fun change. Thomas uses fire Trevor ended up not drinking much, realizing that his lack of control over the other personalities was getting him in a lot of trouble. He was S-class damn it, he couldn't be doing this. He couldn't let the others get into his head and cause trouble. He wanted to be a good example for the guild, not some weirdo that can't control himself. Trevor soon left the tavern. He needed somewhere quiet to meditate, get himself put back together. Be okay once more. He could do that then maybe he could keep George at bay, and out of trouble. Trouble, that is all he had caused that day and it wasn't good. Then there was the fact he left Boreal unattended. It was too late to change that, so he wouldn't try. Instead he found a nice quiet sunny spot to close his eyes and rest. He thought about things that George did to put him in a dark place in order to come to terms with it. Once he did that, everything was more fine. If he could keep his cool despite the dark places then he might be able to control the other personalities. Although he was getting that sorted he didn't want to go back to the guild yet. He didn't want to face the pain that George, and therefor him had caused.
Flame gripped her sword tight as Veera got stabbed. It looked like it was up to her in order to protect them, which was hard due to the cash over her eye taking away vision in one eye temporarily. Luck for her however she didn't have to deal with it just yet as Drake arrived to finish off the man who had attacked her. Shortly after Gale arrived finishing off the girl. "Come Veera lets get you out of here." Flame said as she helped fix up the belt Veera was trying to put on her upper arm. She then took her sword and cut a clean chunk of her shirt off, tying that around Veera's arm as well. "Okay now lets go." "Murderer!" The voice of the old man called out. "And they have a fae with them. They are no scouts. They are not from inside the wall at all!" The woman who had shown her breasts before commented, her arms crossed. That was until she saw her friends dead body on the ground. "You b*tch!" She cried out at Veera trying to charge forward before the older man stopped her. "Arrest them all." He ordered, thirty other men and woman appearing around them ready to attack, and capture small group. "We can't fight this many, not in our current state." Flame said trying to keep her breath steady, not be scared. Flame lowered her one hand from her face, holding her sword with both hands. "But we are not going to let them take us." Flame finished, staring down the leader. "Leave no one behind." With that Flame stepped in front of Veera. "If you guys can get her to safety then I will hold them off long enough for you to follow." Flame ordered as someone dove for her, yelling something about her heritage. Flame bared her teeth at him, she hated people judging her based on her race. Flame ignored the blood dripping from her face and pooling on the ground for the time being, charging forward and hitting the man in the arm, forcing him to fight with his left hand. Turning around she noticed that someone else was going after Veera. Flame shifted into a leopard and pounced on him, though the shift hurt more than normal, the leopards eye also bleeding and cut. Flame mauled the man but again didn't have time to kill him before she had to defend herself from someone else, this time shifting back to fae form and slicing at him, receiving a cut herself but not a deep one. She wasn't going to die here, despite how unlikely the odds seemed. She needed to sort out some words that the lady said and she needed to protect her people. "Hurry." Flame urged as she began to be overwhelmed. "I want them all alive, her especially. We will reestablish the cities fear and belief of these creatures. If she is here there is probably more out there. We hunt at morning." The leader demanded but Flame was not going to be captured so easily. She transformed and shook her leopard head and got blood in one persons eye before running off. gaining some distance. Meanwhile a good portion of the people surrounding them went after Drake, after seeing what he had done to the man trying to kill Flame, they registered him as one of the greatest threats. The least amount of people went for Veera, but that was partly because there was a fae warrior jumping around protecting her, mildly injuring a good amount of men, but nothing they couldn't deal with and still fight. That left about a quarter of the group after Gale who they were struggling to assess. The priorities however were clear. The two seemingly strongest. The Fae, and the man who seemed to be their leader.
"Well that is not very nice. But hey, you never know I might like sucking my own dick." Seth complained in reply to Callum's comment. However with the deal with the witcher dealt with he could finally relax a bit, well enough to warn about his witcher problem in more extent... That was after they left. Seth helped Zack to his feet, supporting Zack as he was getting ready to move away from the witcher. "Come on man, you are so heavy. Can't you walk by yourself." Seth complained as he shot a look at Bryce. "Or at the very least you could give me a hand here." Seth told him. As they took a few steps away Seth decided he should tell them a little more of the person he was running from. "Yeah so I kinda pissed off this witcher chick. She has some wicked scars on her face. She was kinda hot but yeah she is a little angry at me . So as I said before if you see her, I am not here, okay. Don't worry she hasn't seen this form. Though she may just kill every doppler she sees.... yeah, sorry about that. But hey at least I pay well for your silence right?" Seth said in a manor that didn't really convey the real urgency of the situation. Tatiana listened as Veera spoke. "Yes... Veera. I should have known that. The memory of you telling me is there, it is just jumbled up a bit. I can't figure out what I am thinking." Tatiana tried her best to explain what was going on in her mind, but it wasn't working very well. Pain shot through her body for no reason besides her wounds just decided to hurt more then. Tatiana jerked as she yelled out in pain, her eyes watering as her arms tugged against their restraints. "Please..." She said, not specifying what. It just seemed like a cry for help from a very tired girl who was in a lot of pain. Tatiana let out a few wheezing coughs before looking back at Veera. "Everything is black and white.... is that supposed to happen?" She asked as she closed her eyes for a moment trying to make her head stop spinning. "Oh yeah. At home in Novigrad." Tatiana said, seemingly out of nowhere. She had just remembered the last question that Veera had asked her a few minutes before. "How did I forget that?" She wondered though she knew that Veera had just explained her short term memory had been affected. She wondered if it would always be like this or a side effect of the fever or the potion. Goodness if it was always like that She wouldn't know what to do with herself and it would be more scary going into work. People might take advantage of that, many customers surely would. "Witchers only do things if they get paid.... I don't know... I can't afford to pay you." Tatiana then tried to explain to Veera, remembering part of what it was to be a witcher. "I don't see it as wasting time. Besides my sister doesn't expect me home for a long while. I was going to try to pick up a few jobs on my way home anyhow. I don't mind helping people, I like it in fact. Of course my sister comes first, but at the same time It has been years since I have seen her, what is a couple more days going to hurt. She would want me to help other people cause that is the kind of person she is. She raised me to put others first and not just think of yourself." Aaron explained to Olivia. Of course getting paid would be nice but he would not ask payment of someone that he willingly offered to help. "Ah here we are. The academy for witchers." Aaron said as they approached the place. He nodded at numerous faculty as they gave him strange looks, wondering why he was back already. "If you want something interesting to see in Kaer Morhem, it is here. That being said I will give you the choice. Do you want me to show you around or would you like to explore the area yourself. I mean it is sometimes more fun to discover new things for yourself rather than just have someone show them all to you." Aaron explain. The sounds around her was muffled by the sand that protected Annabelle's frail body. She heard talking between the boy and Yana but didn't fully make out what they boy was saying, nor could she tell when he was talking to her. She could hear Yana fine though, claiming her as her own. That was followed by a comment on torching a village. It would be another village like hers gone. More people left without a family and without a home. Annabelle doubted anyone else would be as lucky as she was, if you called the life she lived lucky. She was alive, but there were times she thought that maybe it would have been better for her to die. She was almost always injured, and she was always sick. It was not fun. But perhaps she would grow up, defeat Yana and help people instead of watching Yana hurt so many. From within her sand barrier Annabelle whimpered at the thought of hurting more people. She wouldn't say anything about it though, because that could be considering disobeying Yana, and she knew how brutal the punishments for that could be.
"Stop. Both of you." The king ordered Akari and Griffin. "This is getting us no where." He added not mentioning anything about what Griffin was saying again that could be directed at him and his daughter, both fae. Griffin also kept talking like he wasn't wanted or accepted. The king never had to accept him into the city. Provide him with work and shelter and everything that he needed, but he did cause it didn't matter what type of creature they were, they were all the same in the sense that they were not accepted behind the walls of the big city. Griffin seemed to think far to low of himself and everyone else for that matter. "That is enough with the 3dmg. We will move onto Akari's new invention. Go to her for instructions." The king called out to Tessa and Zack. He himself seeming a little annoyed at the time. He turned to walk more to the side of the training field, on the way he passed griffon. "Few of us can fly and we are far from free." He told him before moving to the side away from everyone else. The woman deflected Veera's attacks and jumped back, her eyes still on Flame, her true target. "Let me put this... this thing down then you are free to go Veera. I won't kill you." The woman said trying to get around Veera. Flame was prepared to fight the woman off when Veera got in the way, but the fight wasn't going to end that quickly. Flame was preparing to go on the offense when she heard something moving. At first she though it was Drake, which she caught in the distance flying towards them, but too late she found it wasn't, instead it was someone else. The woman that was fighting Veera launched herself forward at Veera, attacking her instead of Flame... a distraction. A distraction that seemed to have worked as she listened to the fae woman cry out in pain. While they were occupied with her, it seemed that one of her male friends had gotten away from the group at some point and had snuck around to attack the fae, launching himself at her, he had clearly hit. When the man leaped out at Flame, the young woman didn't have time to block or move fully out of the way. The end of the man's blade caught her over her left eye. "F*ck." Flame cursed as she held one hand over her eye. The other hand still wielded a sword in which she was using to fend off the man till Veera finished off her opponent and helped or Drake got there. Flame was more than a capable fighter but with one eye out of commission and having to hold it, it made things a bit difficult. She would kill him if she had to, but she would rather not. Flame just wanted to get out of there and quick.
Alexis tried to do one good thing. She tried to help in one simple way and the girl wouldn't even allow that, pulling her out of the way instead. Alexis clenched her teeth trying not to think of it. She would fight and make herself worth something, anything. She was more than just the local whore. She was more than the sex slave that she was sold into at a young age. She was going to be her own person and be useful. Tessa turned to pat her, which was really awkward since she patted her on one of the only clothed parts of her, her boob. Alexis didn't look Tessa in the eye as the girl seemed to try to encourage her. Alexis instead focused on her abilities, what she could do. On the last floor she rested on she had learned a new ability, one that she would use now. Alexis used pyrokinetic combat
Aedion was not fast enough to protect the mother as Neoph ran to the aid of the child. "Damn... " said as he winced in pain due to the attack with the thorns. Though turning and looking at Ana he knew he had gotten lucky. "My apologies Taliana. I couldn't protect you as well as I liked. What do you say about us kicking this things butt before more people get hurt." He said to her, having a feeling she wouldn't like him asking her to hang back much. Instead he would just defeat the creature before it could hurt anyone else. He refused to watch another innocent die. Neoph was shouting instructions but Aedion assumed that was to his group. He was not going to direct citizens to a hall, not when this creature burst in on them and attacked. He was already involved in this fight and wasn't going to back down. The others could help the civilians. Nearing the twilight thorn, Aedion jumped off it's arm that was lowered and started with a barrage of attacks on it's head, the entire time keeping half an eye on Ana. If he had the ability he would block any hits for the girl before she got injured more than she already was, given she was not in the best of shapes after the last attack. His side still hurt from the thorns he took but he would walk it off.
Sven continued trying to tell her that her comfort was more important, but Cierra didn't like the idea of Sven not sleeping at all. However instead of trying to argue this with him she supposed that she would help Sven in whatever way she could. Cierra began to open up cupboards and pull out a couple different food items, one of which was in a blue box. Cierra opened it to find hard yellow things inside and another package. She pulled out one of the yellow things and put it in her mouth. "It is too hard to eat and doesn't taste good at all." Cierra commented as she put the box on the counter. "What do they eat here? I don't get it." She then opened up the package that was also inside the box and found a bright orange powder. "This isn't food, I am pretty sure. Maybe they keep it somewhere else." Cierra suggested as she through the other packet of dried noodles in her hand on the table. She was not going to like it here, was she? "But she was going to draw attention and they were going to drink all my coffee." Isabella complained with a huff. She thought her reason was a fine reason. No one wanted to hear an eighteen year old scream like a baby over something as silly as her approaching them. This girl was messed up, it was almost funny really. Isabella couldn't help but wonder what was going on inside the head of the girl who called herself Analise. "Well now that the deed is done can I-" Isabella was cut off by Lucas assigning her a baby sitter then leaving. "Geez how old do you think I am? I don't need someone to watch over me. I am plenty old enough. And I wouldn't burn down the building anyways, I would just cut her head open so I can examine her brain." Isabella complained as she crossed her arms. "No need to give me those looks." Isabella commented, walking back to the kitchen. "I am not some kind of monster, I am a scientist who focus' on abnormalities. It usually has to do with powers people possess, but I find this one quite interesting. Is it so wrong to want to run some test? Besides she was going to disturb the entire building with her screaming. People here just don't appreciate my genius." Isabella complained as she began drinking a cup of now lukewarm coffee. She would temperately forget about the girl. For now she had to think of how she might get herself and Lukey home. The voice in her dreams be damned. She had telepath's and telekinetic's to capture and run tests on, she couldn't afford to be here at a school type thing. @Takeru Tenkuji @Glen @Magick
Adelina was about to walk away when Zack did something that she did not expect. Turning back to her, he planned a kiss right on her cheek then ran before she could say anything. Adelina simply watched as the young man ran from her, her face becoming warm as she blushed. She couldn't help but let out a small giggle,i it seemed that he was more embarrassed at the kiss than she was, it just took her by surprise. A smile crossed her face as she turned back to the kitchen, she still had a lot of cleaning up to do, unless she could get rope someone into helping. Adelina then noticed Henry hiding in a corner not really doing anything, she supposed if he was willing, he would do. Adelina approached Henry, her arms still full of dishes. "Hey... Um if you are willing I could use some help cleaning up the kitchen. That is if there is nothing else you are supposed to be doing. You just looked like you were not up to much so help would be greatly appreciated, but it isn't required." Adelina ended up rambling still blushing a bit from Zack's kiss. "It wouldn't be much, just dishes." She then added, turning around to head to the kitchen, wondering if the young man would follow or not. She wanted to get everything done on time tonight, she was looking forward to her evening with Zack, and evening out. "Glad you could join us at last Zack. Go get the last 3dmg on then we will begin with just shooting off the hooks at targets, make sure that they still hit where they are supposed to and the alignment didn't get thrown off. After that you can go ahead and do a balance test. When that is all over then swing from them, try not to go too high up just in case something goes wrong. I don't want any of you getting seriously injured. Once we are certain they are safe you can remove them, it will be good enough to go store for missions. From there I will hand things over to Akari." The king explained expecting the rest to be able to follow and execute his instructions without him having to walk them through it again. Of course he would go over again if he needed to but he would rather not. "Fear is a powerful thing in humans. My great, great grandfather barely made it out with his life when he went to seek refuge from humans. He was the founder of Kaynta, the first king. It was when the titans started attacking and taking over. They nearly killed him and threw him out to the titans, and he did nothing wrong. So no offense but I have never felt the most comfortable around most humans, no matter how many have my back. If I die... I don't know what would happen to Kaynta. I'm it's only heir and as much as I don't want to be, it was his wishes. That the city he created stayed close to his heart, in his blood line. With the blood of a fae running through it, to remind all what the fae used to be, magnificent, immortal creatures." Flame explained seeming a little down. "But who am I to complain, after all it was you who used to live here and you who got recognized. I shouldn't be wallowing in the past. Lets just get out of here, and on top of the wall before we find trouble." "It's too late for that!" A female voice said as she jumped from hidden shadows, straight at Flame, knife in hand. "Thanks for a full confession of what you are. I thought you looked familiar to one we had here, what nine years ago now. We had fun with her. I bet you all are the reason the titans came." The woman sneered as she tried to attack flame, only for the fae woman to move out of the way, her fae body allowing faster movements. "And Veera don't tell me you left to join this b*tch. we all thought that you died to the titans, not that it would have been a huge loss either way. What would you do if I killed this fae b*tch in front of you? What is she your princess?" The woman asked as she circled around Flame who had now drawn a sword, and in a defensive position to defend as the woman launched herself again at her. Flame hoped that Veera would step in before she was forced to kill the woman. Killing people was never something she wanted to do. Titans and food were fine but others, human or not, was not as fine. "Y-yeah it is safe. I am so sorry about that sir. I didn't mean to." The girl said to Drake again as she received a glare from the man who seemed to be leading the group out. "You must excuse her for her behviour, she doesn't always seem to understand the importance of manners around people of your stature. She never grew up in area's you were seen a lot. Now then if you don't mind we really must start our search." The old man told Drake, looking down as he got ready to move forward. He had noticed someone missing and hoped Drake didn't. Now they had to move forward and split up to look before Drake got too suspicious. He had no idea what the two young woman in his group were up to, but knowing the girl who just flashed her breasts, they planned something for some reason and as unpridictable as the two girls could be he had known them since they were children and knew that they would have reasons, good ones too. He would cover for them in whatever way he could. Perhaps it was to do with the girl that had been with Drake earlier and called away. She seemed familiar but he couldn't put his finger on it. Someone else seemed to though, calling out a name, right before the other woman showed up, called the girl by a different name, and walked away, taking the girl with her. Something wasn't quite right with these scouts. He could tell.
"I can't die! Not so soon!" Silvia cried out before forcing herself back into character. She let out a scream of terror as the young girl attempted to use one of her only spells she knew that wouldn't help the person trying to hurt her. "Aero!" She said as she closed her eyes and blindly cast the spell. "Why are you doing this? I have don't nothing wrong. I swear. I don't understand. Why must there be so much fighting." Silvia complained as she waited for the possible death that waited her if her aero spell didn't work.
Alexis looked down as no one really addressed her or responded to her, it was like they didn't care she was there, invisible unless they needed something from her, as always. Not even Tessa seemed to acknowledge her apology. It was all so hopeless. Alexis looked at her new weapon, something that seemed to fit a whore like her, or at least Operator seemed to think so, or why else give it to her. Reluctantly she took the bullwhip in her hand hesitated for a moment before finally stepping forward to use it. She cringed at the sound it made but accepted it. She remembered one of her owners had a fetish for pain... at least it wasn't that he liked to cause pain on her, just receive it. It would have been horrible to have to explain the scars on top of everything else. But she had used a whip before, on that particular owner, making it so much harder for her to bare using. When her attack was finished Alexis stepped back and in front of Tessa. The least she could do for the girl after making her so uncomfortable was block a hit or two for her.
