[color=teal]"T-Two mansions? That wasn't on the job board."[/color] Miranda said in alarm, her head whirling back and forth to try, and fail, to discern which was the objective they were searching for. [color=teal]"I suppose if no one ever survived these mansions we couldn't expect an accurate accounting of the facts. That is what we are here f- Eep! What are those!?"[/color]

The tome wielding woman thrust her finger out towards the eastern sky to trace the flight of a black mass approaching with great haste towards the motley band of Chasers. They approached with chattering and screeches that developed in clarity with each passing moment till the dwindling distance shattered their cohesion and revealed the mass to be a swarm of bats. It was safe to assume that, given their origin and the path they flew, that they weren't simply scavenging for fruit from the trees this evening.

[color=teal]"Umm, should we be running towards the mansion without the bats or the one that they roost at?"[/color] Miranda queried in a hurried manner, fidgeting in place with clammy hands prying open the Tome of Companions to her most familiar page. Depicted upon it was a creature strikingly similar to an azure colored rabbit, with ears long and floppy sweeped back over its body and legs well suited for hopping. However, it's tail was as long as its ears and pressed into its forehead was a striking ruby. Miranda pressed her palm against the page and released the sealed Youkai within. 

Jeffers the Carbuncle came into the Crimson Sky stooped upon Miranda's shoulder, his cold, rabbit eyes fixated on the approaching threat. Those inside the book had varying degrees of awareness of the world around them, depending on how much or little Miranda allowed, so it needn't be appraised of the situation. Knowing that the source of its food was inclined towards flight then fight, it glowed a pale light that seeped from the Carbuncle and into Miranda. Scattered leaves upon the ground were repelled in all directions by a whoosh of wind emanating from Miranda as Jeffer's wind magic coursed through her, lightening her frame and giving the normally lanky woman a speed fitting an Olympic athlete. 

Perfect for running from her life, assuming Avalanche and the others didn't want to fight a swarm bats.
