Aerilyn nodded to Core, Beau, and Phil as they decided that it would be the best to start making their way to Riverdale. With a lighter feeling in her heart, Aerilyn started down the path with the others, making sure that she was spaced a little ways away from the group so that they could spread easily without being out of each other's sights. So far, everything seemed like it was going to turn out alright--at least the journey there. But that lovely thought was quickly ripped and thrown into the air like party confetti when a scouting party had spotted the group of Hygrons. [i]Well, this is going to be just peachy, like a short vacation...[/i] She thought miserably as she dove the opposite way of Cora. It would be best if they noticed only Beau, who thought that it would be best to take them on headfirst.

[i]If this scouting party doesn't return within their regular time limit, the Vygorns are going to note that and assume that there's more of a threat than the monstrosities of the wild... They're going to assume that there would be at least one survivor to make it back and alert headquarters that there was an attack. They may even have locators on them now, which would lead them to this direct spot...[/i] Aerilyn thought within the blink of an eye. That's when it hit her... they would have to make it seem as if these scouts had made it back all in one piece. Luckily for them, there were five scouts. [i]If there's four of us, then that would make for the perfect one to do all of the talking if we can convince him, with or without force, to take us to their headquarters... then we could proceed with the plan sooner rather than later...[/i] She knew that this would be the best plan if they didn't want the Haven to be located so soon. [i]Somehow, I'm going to have to tell this to Cora and the others...[/i]

Just then, she leaped from her hiding place and attacked the other two that Beau had not gotten to yet, her form lithe and swift as a shadow. Then she blocked a kick from Beau to the last of the Vygorn scouts and put the man in a headlock that would choke him if he struggled more than he was. [b]"We can use these guys. They are the key to getting to their base of operations."[/b] She quickly shouted at them. [b]"We just need to make sure that handsome here understands how painful it would be to defy us."[/b] She tightened her grip on the man's throat as she grinned, almost looking as if she were enjoying seeing his struggle. [b]"Isn't that right, bud? You may just end up like your friends there, only I'll hang you with your own intestines."[/b]
