Outskirts

[Yunni]

Yunni was now curled up into a tight ball, her pony tail pulled under her arms, the women hugging it like a teddy bear almost. It was a safety mesure really, however - she had been taught never to let it hang loose, just incase enemies dragged her away by it. The snorring had calmed down now, and were simple, soft breathing - her eyelids flickering slightly as she began to dream.



She was back in her homeland, that night when her chief had sent her with a group of other warriors to investigate the flash of light that had struck the land just outside her clan's village boundry. They made quick pace in silent understanding, very much the trained pack of warriors. Just as it had happened, Yunni was the one to investigate the large, metal monster that was in the creator, closely.

As she stepped closer however, it suddenly roared into life - lights that burned the flesh and noise that burst eardrums suddenly exploding into the quite night. Mechanical arms grabed her in its clamp-like claws, and a monsterous mouth swollowed her up, the screams of her clan-mates the last thing she heard.

"NO!!!"

Yunni sat up, wide-eyes and angry. Heavy breathing and bared teeth, Yunni was on her toes in a croached, ready-position for attack. Shaking with the nightmare, she sat back down as she realised it was not real.

[Azurel]

Jernai had been inside by the time Yunni started dreaming. She heard the scream, but it was all too often that people had nightmares after getting treated for gashes. Jernai walked over to a shelf of books and pulled out a thin notebook. A pencil was between the pages so she could get to the last page. She opened it to view the custom spreadsheet. She wrote down the ingredients of the mixture she had used to heal Yunni's wounds in one cell. To the right of it, she wrote down the aftereffect of a nightmare. The book was filled with combinations of herbs, oils, gels, and spices as well as the effects of each. She was searching for a combination that had no complications.

Azurel had shown the dragon the way to the roof and walked in carrying his plate and waving the lamb in the air.

"Jernai, what the hell is th-"
"Shh," she interrupted, "Yunni's sleeping."

Azzy shut up fast. He certainly didn't want to wake her. He took a big bite out of the lamb in his hand before he noticed the treatement log in her hands. He raised his eyebrows and talked, muffled by the meat in his mouth.

"Waf if it?"

"Just a nightmare," she said relieved.

She was thinking too much to yell at him for talking with his mouth full. It seemed that she gave the same speeches everytime the duo was over her house. They talked for a while, catching up on events past, before going to bed.

[Kothar_Isk]

"Thank you roof will be fine thank you. I will be good"
Trenton looked over to the roof of the building. Then he flew over and just laid there looking around.
After a while Trenton saw the food set out for Azurel and began to drool, but now was no time for food even though he was very hungery he stayed where he was told.

[Azurel]

Azurel awoke as Rayne, like always. Even if it was Azurel that entered the bed, it was always Rayne to get up from it. The true reason was something that was never discovered due to Rayne's psychotic nature. The two minds simply thought that during the course of dreaming, they reverted back into Rayne's body. Rayne had promised he wouldn't come out during the visit. He walked out of the house in the early morning. Rayne was going to transform and Azurel had begged him to not wake the girls with the screams of pain. It was still early and Azurel wasn't quiet enough to go back in the house without waking at least Jernai. Azurel spent the morning exercising and stretching in the front yard, preparing for the hunting he was about to do. He was also just waiting for the girls to get up.

[Kothar_Isk]

Trenton slept well through the night but his stomach work him up in the early hours of the morning. Lookinf around he saw Azurel stretching in he yard, and after a good strech him self leapt from the roof and went over to see what the creature that had offered him help was doing.

[Yunni]

Yunni had not really gotten back to sleep after the nightmare, it was almost a reminder to her - of why she was here. She had thought on the matter of the metal beast, of how its evil magic had brought her to this world and she had concluded it was all apart of a greater quest she had to complete. The Elders had spoken of quests such as these before, which the ancestors had taken part in - travelling to strange worlds and doing what was needed of them. With no guide or instructions however, it was certainly going to be harder to do Klak's bidding. It was clear to her however, it had something to do with the great umbalance she felt. She could not put her finger on it, she was no shamen - and of course she never expected to find the answer right away, this sort of thing was never easy.

She got out of bed as soon as the dawn began to break into the sky and decided to take this safe oppotunity to groom her hair - unraveling it from its long braid, before brushing and untangling it with her fingers before braiding it back up once again. It was a good idea to look after you hair and keep it healthy, as it needed to be strong - as her type of fighting style needed it to be. Slapping her own cheeks a few times wake herself up, she gathered her mask, boots and gloves and wondered outside to stretch.

[Diablo]

Diablo was walking in the forest, the wind causing the treetops to sway back and forth. It was a very harmonious walk until the scent of angelic blood filled the area, it was or at least to Diablo a foul smell. Diablo searched the area, no signs of the 'Holy Ones' but then again they loved to ambush demons.

Diablo grew weary, he remembered the last time he fought an angelic creature, a splash of holy water was more dangerous than anything even more dangerous than the half-breed Azurel. Diablo picked up his pace running as fast and as hard as he could, he ran for until he became winded and by the time that happened he was in a town and if the angels were fallowing him they wouldn't start a fight in a place filled with so many innocents.

Diablo took flight, just so he could cover more ground and it took less effort to glide and it did to walk or that was what he told himself. He soared over the few people who pointed but oddly didn’t run in fear. The cool morning air blew into his face carrying with it the scents of the town and then he smelled it, the halfer, that damnable but very powerful abomination, Azurel. Diablo thought about the angel stench he ran into earlier and decided that if they were still around they would eventually go for Azurel and that demon though he hated to admit it he cared for just because he was one of the few that carried demon blood.

"Half-demon or not you are still a relative, a demon."

Diablo redirected his glide towards the spot where the scent seemed to be coming from. The full, living, demon finally reached where Azurel was, he was but there was a dragon there.

"Why is a wyrmling dragon here?"

Diablo landed on the ground and made his way to Azzy, watching the wyrmling.

[Azurel]

Well this was certainly a lot for Azurel. The scents of three people he knew coming at around the same time. Diablo, he was further off, and hadn't been seen by the half-breed duo in some time. Weak as he may be, Trenton was a dragon and he was close to a pet. Now that he was taken care of, he should be able to get to his master. So Yunni was Azurel's conversational priority. He looked her over. The wounds were still healing, but they wouldn't reopen. Jernai's mixtures were getting better.

"How are you feeling?"

[Yunni]

The prehistoric women rubbed her own neck and rolled her arms around to loosen the sockets before replying, testing herself. The healer was very skilled, the pain had gone, only slight discomfort remained.

"Yunni well." She nodded before she froze, a frown on her face suddenly.

"More smelly demon near..." she grumbled, although from the poor constrution of the sentence you couldn't really tell if she meant 'another smelly demon was near by', or that 'another demon was nearby and he smelt worse'. That wasn't all it seemed, as she reckognised the scent of that dragon near by too. It was getting too crowded for her liking. With a sigh, she placed her mask over her face and began to put her boots on.

[Azurel]

He smiled at her response, if only briefly. He glanced off to the side and twisted his head a bit to get bearings on the other two. He turned back to see her back in her mask.

"Yea, we'll get rid of him and get on our way"

Azurel was not going to get caught up in the dramatics of everyone else. He was going to earn some money and he was going to help Yunni. He didn't have time for anyone else.
