Slick lit up at the mention of Avalia actually having firearms. He wished he had a rifle or hell even just one of his pistols, but the magical portal went and messed that up. Rather expensive, huh? Slick was already trying to game plan on a way to acquire funds, but the mention of snapping necks drew his attention.

“Snappin’ necks? Easier?” He gave Kuroi a look of perplexity before nodding some. “You gotta show me what that looks like. Not here though ‘cus the folk are already eyeing us. I don’t mind a good tussle, but I ain’t tryin’ to start trouble like we did in the previous town.” Slick to a swig of the rich tasting beer before answering Kuroi. The fox-man seemed to still be curious about his world, and Slick could relate to him being that he just arrived in Avalia. Slick had initially thought he wouldn’t like Kuroi but the man seemed to be alright by his standards. He hadn’t tried to cross him or threaten him yet, so there was that.

“Well, I noticed you use those strange coins to buy stuff. You guys even use it for the heftier items.” Slick was digging into his bag with his free hand before pulling out a worn folded up one dollar bill. “Sure, we still use coin, but this baby here is what you want. Light, foldable, and easy to hide too.” He let go of his beer to unfold the dollar to display the front showing the United States heading with President George Washington looking his finest. He quickly crumpled the dollar up and placed it back into his bag “But your people got some things right. You all got bathing and grooming down. I mean I haven’t got a whiff of an ounce of must since being here. I figure the big green fellas like that one would smell something fierce, but they’re alright.” He had briefly pointed at Uzul who was seated by himself. “Where I’m from ain't so clean. Sleeping outside, not bathing for days, and then there was the sun. It beat down so hard. I reckon just as hard as this place… What else… It’s kind of hard not to get into the details. Just think, you and I are speakin’ one on one without some middle man trying to decipher what each of us are sayin’ to one another. Now I find that to be a grand thing to think about. There’s a lot of differences, but what really freaks me out are the similarities.” Slick then chugged the rest of his first beer. He set it down hard on the counter and looked Kuroi in the eyes. “So what’s the next move in this adventure of ours. I figure you’d know better than I with you and the lady being an item and all.”

Eris had been following Kaleb since she allowed him to take the lead, however she cloaked herself in her magic, becoming invisible to all around. She didn't need people realizing she was following him, especially if he got to talking to some and revealing useful information. This seemed to be the case as he came across a wingless fairy, something that was discovered later in the conversation. She saw and heard everything Kaleb did and had a few moments where she felt like facepalming and laughing at the humans' ignorance. He was quite good at spinning stories, but he wasn't too keen on picking up small details. Like the fact that they had seen the companions of Bowyn earlier. It was all quite humorous to her.

She knew she would need to make an appearance soon so Kaleb didn't think she'd abandoned him. She still needed this little puppet. A newcomer joined the group, the one called Rue and her wolf, Mooney, but where was the dwarf? Perhaps it was pure luck that the dwarf wasn't with her, otherwise the little ruse Kaleb was playing might have come to an end, though Eris was curious how he would have handled the situation. Likely played off being offended that the dwarf didn't "recognize" him.

Commotion caught her attention right as she was planning on strolling up to the group and she decided to hold off a moment longer. She even moved over quickly just to see what was happening and was quite pleased she did. There, in the middle of it all, was Princess Annya. She'd made sure she knew what the woman and her family had looked like long ago and recognized her in an instant. With her were a small group which Eris could only assume some of them to be humans wearing disguise rings, something she was well acquainted with as her mother was among the first to create some. If Eris were to guess by the reaction to the situation, the two females were human. So when one of them decided to storm off, Eris had no qualms sending some magic her way to help her blend into the crowd and make it much more difficult for the little princess to follow. She also noted the dwarf that had approached Annya, knowing just who he was.

Satisfied with the small bit of meddling, Eris swiped two pieces of honey toast from a stall before dropping the invisibility on herself and making her way back to Kaleb, Bowyn, and Rue. She placed an excited and cheery smile on her face as she took on one of her many personas. "Oh Kaleb, I'm so glad I finally found you! I found that sweet treat I wanted and I grabbed one for you too!" She linked her arm in his and held out the toast for him. "It was quite the adventure too, there was quite the commotion at one of the stalls. A red haired elven girl seemed to have attacked the owner of the stall, perhaps not agreeing with prices though to go to that extreme is a little scary, and it seemed another elven woman was in agreement as she held a club in her hands. Then the demi-human girl with them, such a cute little thing, seemed quite upset with the whole situation. Started yelling at them about being sick and tired of their violence before storming off. Poor dear, I do hope she hadn't been a victim of their violence as well." She looked between everyone in the group as she spun her tale with great animation. "Then this dwarf approached one of the elven women, but couldn't do much other than stare at her! He seemed quite enamored with her, I would have sworn I watched his eyes wander to certain parts of her body. It was really quite the scene, though it seems that authorities may be showing up soon to sort it all out." She said the last bit with almost a sign of relief as her eyes fell on Bowyn and Rue once more.

"Oh how rude of me for not making proper introductions! I'm Eris, I do hope you both can forgive impudence. Sometimes I get overly excited and forget my manners." She gave them a sheepish grin and an embarrassed laugh.

Myra was visibly satisfied and way more comfortable after Astra took her dress off. Stretching herself, Myra was ready to jump on the bed again when Astra asked if they cleaned themselves. Looking at Astra with a thoughtful expression, Myra looked at her hands, then her sides and bringing the tip of her tail in front of her. After a quick analysis, Myra nodded her head to Astra. While it wasn't really that dirty, she could certainly use some water to clean herself. That said, no matter how much she looked around the room, she couldn't see any water she could use. After spending a few seconds searching, she walked back to Astra, looking at her with a confused expression as she made a gesture of wiping her arms and tail. She didn't particularly care about the bed getting dirty, but Myra herself always had a habit of remaining clean, so it was better for her to clean herself before sleeping than having to do it later.

Rue remained silent while the group spoke. She didn’t confirm or deny Bowyn’s comments about taming wild beasts. Truth to be told, she had befriended many of the animals in the village. The light elf, Kaleb, seemingly knew Arn and they spent time discussing it. She didn’t interject, as the prospect of speaking more in front of him was causing her to blanche. Moony kept close to her side as she fell into place next to Bowyn. Her wolf suddenly tensed and gave her a stern look, which Rue returned questioningly. She didn't have to wait too long to figure out why; there was commotion up ahead which she couldn’t see.

A red-haired light elf joined, linking her arm with Kaleb’s and offering food. Her explanation caused Rue to furrow her brows. Sighing, she turned away and remained quiet. The unknown was making her nervous. What did she believe? Her temple began to throb as she contemplated everything. She bit her lip as a wave of dizziness swept over her and felt her forehead which was clammy. Knowing the inevitable had happened, she turned from the group and paused, trying to collect herself to no avail. ”I do apologize, but I don’t feel well and must return to the Inn. It was lovely meeting you all. I hope to talk to you soon.” Rue shot Bowyn an apologetic look as she quickly moved ahead and was lost to the crowd. Within a few minutes she made it back to her room, shut and locked the door, then collapsed on the bed, with Moonlight standing guard.

The wound was dressed, but there was no immediate result. Not that she expected it. "And we'll just dress her back up before she has a fit..." No need to agitate the apparently wounded and slightly prudish dark elf. "Poor dear, should have said something." But, with tensions as high as they are now, not garnering attention may have been best. Still, though, just gonna sit there, poisoned?

"The shape shifting?" Right, she slipped up earlier. "No, not very common. I shift about to suit my mood. You both still recognized me immediately, so maybe maybe the mask is better for a disguise, after all? It does comes in handy, though." Had he caught on? What would his reaction be, to a demon? Would it be like the other's reaction to a dark elf? It didn't seem like he was overly suspicious of her, but that could mean anything.

"So, how did the two of you meet? Quite the odd pair, I must say. You might even call it two ends of a spectrum, the two of you. What kind of dreams brought you to this place and company?" Aiko found herself gently curling a lock of Nabarra's hair around her finger and stopped, settling their companion into the bed and letting her be, now that she was dressed and dressed and they were waiting on Yuka.

Kharne let Ismael take the lead this time and just meandered behind him. Possibly the laziest the human had ever seen the giant reptilian man. Almost as if he felt nothing nearby was a threat, or a threat so small it didn't warrant him being wary. A commotion drew the now equipped human, which got an inward sigh from him. Curiosity was not always something one should give into after all. Still it paid off...kind of. There was the rest of their party, except Little Red looked to be trying to kill a drunken crying shopkeeper, Annya was not looking pleased, and Raven looked pissed.

Words were exchanged and Raven tromped off, giving him a hi/bye kind of look. "Be mindful of your surroundings." He rumbled to her as she went past him. He was no ladies man, but even he understood 'I need space/time to cool off, lemme alone'. So he let her be, although he wished he had a smaller blade he could have handed off to her. He didn't smell any weaponry on her, but women tended to be crafty. More people began to crowd while Annya addressed a dwarf, the giants eyebrow began to twitch. He had charges to watch and this crowd wasn't helping right now.

"Alright you lot, get going the show is over!" He stated, his voice booming over the crowd and he started to move people away. He could have launched them, but instead he ushered them away forcefully. Well forcefully to them, to him it was like pushing children along. With his attention partially moved he addressed Ismael. "We'll be returning to the inn for now, the girls can regroup themselves. But I want to get you used to that armor. So...your exercises get to begin when we return." Kharne said with a rather large and toothy grin. Said teeth gleamed in the lamp lights, startlingly white and looked like if he bit someone they would die of shock.

With that the giant picked Ismael up like a sack of potatoes, up onto his shoulder, and off he went. That stride carrying the pair unsurprisingly fast. Although him weaving through the people lining the streets with animal grace helped propel them along.

884 Amas.

Fate was a fickle friend. Often, one was not even acquainted with the lady but still suffered the consequences of her whims. The young dwarf had already been caught in the chaotic winds like a leaf in a maelstrom. First the revelation of his parentage and subsequent responsibilities none had prepared him for. Next the sudden broken ties of failed new friendships. Now, the highly unlikely meeting with the very person he was ordered to aid accompanied by the fore told humans that were the only hope of Avalia against the twins and as of yet unknown dark demonic forces.

It had taken gargantuan conviction from Arn to even muster the courage to approach a stunning beauty such as Annya. A strong sense of duty and a hint of magnetic attraction had helped. However, the fateful meeting was not to be easy or uneventful no matter how much the medic would have liked it to be. The unfortunate meeting between fiery red head knee and the testicles of penitent elvish man had brought a crow. Apparently more companions of the princess showed up. A man, who looked like another elf but was much less good looking that even the grimacing stall owner that had harassed the ladies, stepped up to save prevent any further damage to the man’s pride and family jewels.

Behind him, a hulking brute of a lizard followed. Crowds were beginning to gather too but to Arn and his captivated eyes, only Annya mattered. That was until the white haired beauty that had been near the elven princess began to scream in frustration. Not even the young soldier escaped her verbal assault. ”Congratulations dude, you found her.” Arn opened his mouth to try and explain or excuse himself but was not given the chance. Apparently, she was upset at the turn of events and the actions of her companion and stormed off.

So much commotion, so many voices that the young soldier felt he may be back on the battle field. Thankfully, thanks to his experience in battle fields, he was able to keep as calm and controlled as he possibly could taking note of the things around him. The white haired girl seemed to him to be as emotionally charged as the winter fairy lad. She also had white hair, could she perhaps be a winter fairy too? The comment regarding wanting alcohol and fresh air did seem to be parallel to that of Bowyn’s comment before he left their room.

The fiery headed girl who had delivered such a devastating blow to the Elven man radiated anger so palpable that Arn could swear he could feel its heat. There was something in her eyes that should have warned the man against antagonizing her. Even a fool should have been able to see that the young woman was not to be messed with. Unfortunately, it seemed the stall owner had found out the hard way. The young dwarf made a mental note.

The male who had approached her and taken control of the situation had an air bout him that could only be possessed by a skilled fighter. The scar on the man’s face could hardly be explained by any other profession. But it was the man’s voice that made Arn assume that the man was some sort of warrior and possibly a soldier or adventurer. There was a commanding tone in it that had been tailored to make troops obey in the din of battle.

Lastly, the huge lizard. Even a blind man could guess that one’s profession. Strong arms, body like that could not belong to anything short of a warrior, a blacksmith, or some sort of pit fighter. His bellows began to disperse the onlookers who had taken interested and bebang to crowd in search of free entertainment. Arn felt very small compared to the big creature.

Finally, Princess Annya seemed to notice he was there. Her big eyes turned to him and the young dwarf stiffened. Her melodic voiced ask her simple question yet, the dwarf could not muster any sort of intelligible response. Instead, he gave her the barest of nods, his eyes wide and staring. Perhaps it was this, or perhaps it was the storming of the white haired lass that drew those lovely eyes away from him and her sweet voice to address her companions.

”Young dwarf, let us meet for breakfast at Surfside Cafe tomorrow morning at nine. I have a responsibility to these girls. Please enjoy the company of my friends Ismael and Kharne. “

The young medic again could only nod at her request unable to deny her but not lucid enough to offer any sort of argument if he had wanted to. He watched the elven princess follow behind the white haired lass who had disappeared into the crowd. Turnign towards those of her companions that were left he shifted his head between the man and the lizard. He felt his voice returning but before anything could come from his lips, the lizard man cleanly hefted the man on his shoulders and walked off.

Arn had been so low under his field of vision that the big lizard mand probably did not see him. Either way, the young soldier was suddenly left there alone after the majority of the people had been forcefully dispersed by the dragon kin and others left on their own after the free show had ended. Only he and the whimpering elven man who was groaning and holdin onto the endge of his stall for support. The young dwarf huffed not aware he had been holding his breath.

“Well shit…” he said under his breath. But not all had been in vain. He had found the princess and gotten an audience. Now he needed to see if Rue had better luck than him at finding Bowyn. His boots felt heavy, or it could just have been his heart as he made his way back towards the river front inn they were staying at.

Yuka handed Aiko the rest of the potion with a grin, tilting her head at the strange offer the being gave her. She was seemingly thoughtful for a moment before shaking her head. "A romp!"She repeated and clapped her hands together. "Well, we'll see about that hm? Can't fault you for yearning for so as I am enchanting." She turned on her heels and made her way for the door. Later that night, Yuka did return with the antidote and had given it to the others to administer, among other new possessions she had acquired in a mysterious small sack. She winked at the others, before disappearing again, "I will return in the morning."

The Twin-Headed Dragon

Time: 1 pm and onward
Location: Roshmi



Once the Amora had landed, guards surrounded the ship as the twins prepared to exit and make their way to the king. ”Make way,” Basilian commanded the soldiers. “If anyone has anything to say on our way there, they will be dealt with swiftly.” Amarantha followed closely behind her brother as she exited, a smirk on her face as she caught some confused and concerned looks from her brother’s words. Had they all become so used to a ruler who was so cowardly and relied on others for protection that the thought of a strong ruler that could defend themselves confused them so much? That was very amusing to the woman as she glanced over at Basilian.

”Oh come now brother, they’re only trying to do their job.” She said with a small laugh. ”Though I do suppose they would just get in the way if we did have to deal with someone. I wouldn’t want to have to accidentally kill someone who’s on our side.” She said with a sigh as she noticed some startled looks. Oh what poor fools.

The angered glances of demi-humans were plentiful as they continued up the main street. Faces emerged from windows and doors while mothers pulled their children in closer. A collective of incomprehensible whispering rushed through the air.“Fuck you! Roshmi should only have demi-human rulers!” shouted a male cow demi-human from the side of the street. "They are alone, let's kill them now!" The cow demi-human continued trying to gather an uprising to kill the twins.

”Yeah! That feline girl from earlier was right! The King did side with the dark elves! We can stop them here and now!” Some voices of agreement joined and some of the demi-humans began to band together with weapons while others did not hesitate to run from the scene in order to avoid the escalating tension.

Basilian glanced at his sister “Deal with the others if you like, but that cattle is mine.” He said, giving her a grim smile. Amarantha merely sighed as she nodded, looking to the group determined to kill them.

"Let's see...one, two, three….four of you and only one of me. What's a girl to do?" She counted, pointing at each one as she did so before tapping her lips with her finger. "I suppose I have no other choice…" Darkness erupted from her, quickly engulfing the four, blocking them from view. At first there were confused noises coming from within the darkness, but those noises quickly turned into screams of pain and horror. In moments the darkness dissipated and where had once stood four armed men now lay four horribly mutilated bodies.

Basilian looked at the bodies with a twisted smile. He turned to the wide-eyed and now silent crowd, gesturing toward them, “Anyone else care to try us?” He said, only to have the bull demi-human charge towards him a moment later with an axe. Basilian drew his sword drawing in shadows along the blade side stepping seconds before the horns gored him. He raised his sword bringing it down on the demi-human’s neck beheading him on the spot. The body bubbled with dark energy before bursting, spraying the area with organs and blood.

The others who were once ready to fight stared in shock at the scene before them backed down running or turning their heads to avoid making things worse. ”Well, it would seem they have lost interest in us, sister. I suppose we should continue on our way, we shouldn’t make this false king wait too long.” With that they proceeded to the Roshmi palace.

The twins met with the yellow-bellied king of the demi-human who was incredibly timid and wouldn’t barely look them in the eye. He was quick to turn everything over to them and scurry out of there, off to hide with his wife out of the way of the dark elves. Amarantha ordered for the princess to be brought before them only to discover she was missing. Enraged by this, she sent a small team to locate and bring her back. They were also informed of some in the city speaking out against them and encouraging others to put their faith in the humans the light elves had summoned, rumors of the princess even being one of them. The twins ordered that anyone heard speaking out against them to be arrested and brought before them immediately. Within hours there were three brought before them and they were swiftly executed. Their bodies were strung up in the most public areas and a decree placed that anyone who committed the same act as them would suffer the same fate. Anyone who tried to remove the bodies would also be executed. A reign of terror had begun in Roshmi and many fearfully retreated to their homes, leaving the streets rather bare with the exception of those brave enough to venture out.

What the twins once considered a minor threat was now becoming a nuisance they could not ignore for much longer. These humans needed to be dealt with and so another decree was placed. Anyone who captured and brought them a human would be rewarded handsomely. Amarantha requested them to be brought to her alive as she wished to do experiments on them, wanting to know more about their magic. Of course if the human proved to be difficult for the person to capture and died in the process they would accept that, but the reward would be significantly less. They broadcast this message in every city they could in hopes to get as many people hunting humans as possible.

Roshmi held the highest amount of helius and amoras and the twins weren’t about to let that go to waste. They ordered for these transport ships to be used in order to bring more of the dark elf army to the mainland quickly. The threat of the dark elves was growing rapidly.

The odd deadly trio set out to traverse the open sea aboard their hippocampi-drawn watercraft. They had started bright and early, and that very brightness caused Vrexen to curse the sun rays that stung against his body. His calls for violence against the bright pink orb in the sky were both humorous and scary to all who had the chance to witness it. At the moment, the red-faced demon sat with narrowed eyes while wrapped in a thick white blanket acquired from their stay at the Yenworth Inn.

Myra, being a demon more acquainted with the sunrays, instead found her own kind of misery on the voyage. Seasickness and boredom had colluded in making Myra greatly desire the end to the journey across the giant wavy pond. Curiosity occasionally drew her to the hippocampi and almost every time she was shooed away from them by Astra.

“Myra, they’re nice huh? Hey! Get back!”

. . . .

“Myra, hold it RIGHT there!”

. . . .

“Myra!”

. . . .

“No!”

. . . .

“Myra… MYRA NOOO!

---

With three out of the four hippocampi reined to the watercraft, the trio were eventually met with the sight of the Malthemoor Naval fleet tasked with occupying Aldrakh’s port. Astra took point as planned, but the Malthemoor military officers were more interested in addressing Vrexen as he was identified as being a member of an “eight-member Demon special purpose force supporting Malthemoor.” And like that, the trio had freedom of movement within the stone, wood, and metal built Aldrakh. Astra was just glad things were looking up after what happened with the hippocampus that didn’t make it with the rest. They didn’t need the smelly old equestrians anyway, so the group would have to find a buyer soon.



Aldrakh was booming with the presence of both Malthemoor’s Dark Elven troops and members of the Aldrakh Orc Clan. These two groups of Avalians meshed well as the elves provided revenue while the orcs provided goods and services. Aldrakh served as a forward base that the Dark Elves could deploy their units from by both land and sea. The troops seemed to be in higher spirits than normal, holding an air of confidence while commenting on their occupation of Roshmi and the attack on the Sun Elf Kingdom supply cache. Astra was initially surprised Malthemoor was dominating in the offensive since they were meant to be strangers to this side of the world. Then she remembered her travels and her encounters with many of her kind. Dark Elves were unwanted on the mainland, sure, but the mainland had more of a permissive environment than that of Daka. Permissive environments were always the playing field for spies and the like.

“I smell no demons, yet these creatures… These are the orcs?” Vrexen took a whiff of the air as the group walked towards town. He recalled Astra mentioning these people during their travels. I want to kill one… I must kill one!

“Yeah. They're the tough ones here in Avalia. Strong, fast, and they're good at killing all sorts of things.” Astra looked towards two Orcs showing off their newly forged swords to each other. “A lot of old elves say the only thing stopping these big hunks from conquering everything is their high mortality rate. They don’t live as long as us, but the thing that really does them in is how they’re constantly throwing themselves into some kind of fight. Even when no one wants to fight ‘em, they just fight each other… or they do this thing where a chief fuckin’ howls at the moon or some shit, and then they just get so battle crazed, no one has a choice but to fight ‘em.” Astra shrugged. “Different cultures just have their own weird thing going on.”

The never-ending water, the constant rocking of the boat and the strong sun above their head were definitely helping to make the trip even more miserable to the poor Myra. While the tricks and hints Astra gave her did help with the seasickness, there wasn't much she could do to run away from the sun. Even if she was a bit more used to it than Vrexen, whose reaction was really amusing to watch, it still wasn't exactly comfortable for her to be exposed to the sun like that, which made even sleeping hard for Myra.

Incredibly bored, Myra kept trying to find things to do to help relieve her boredom and end the trip faster. From walking around the ship, to using her tail to make waves in the water as the ship moved, she did everything she could at least once and after she got bored of everything else, she turned her attention to the hippocampi.

Much to the poor creatures' dismay and to Astra's misfortune, Myra soon found the distraction she needed from the trip by poking the hippocampi with the tip of her tail, provoking them or investigating them, curious by what exactly they were. Every time she poked or approached the hippocampi, it made the boat give a small jump forward as they tried to swim away, scared of her. While Astra did shoo her away again and again, Myra had quite literally, nothing better to do so she kept going back to the hippocampi after Astra got distracted and took her eyes off her.

Her constant poking and harrassing of the hippocampi soon gave Myra an idea though. If every time she touched them, they swan a bit faster, if she scared them a little bit, they would swim even faster and Myra would be free from that annoying trip sooner. With Astra getting distracted once again, Myra found the perfect opportunity to put her plan into motion as she sneaked nearby the hippocampi, before faking a lunge at them while showing her teeth and claws.

Her plan went wonderfully well at the first moments, despite Astra's shouts. Terrified as they saw her, the hippocampi immediately tried to swim for their lives, the sudden acceleration making Myra fall to the ground. For a few seconds, the boat almost doubled it's speed as Myra, amused, looked at Astra and Vrexen, proud of her plan. That was, before she heard the loud snapping noise and the boat began to slow down. One of the hippocampi, due to how terrified it was, had struggled so much that ended up breaking the restraints, setting him free.

Myra only had enough time to give a single glance at the hippocampi before it quickly disappeared under the waters before she looked at Astra with a guilty expression.

---

Unsurprisingly, Myra was harshly scolded for her little 'stunt' back in the boat. Fortunately, the atmosphere soon got better once they arrived into Aldrakh. While Myra was a bit wary about the green-skins, having already seen a few of them back in Daka's forests and knowing how easily they turned violent, she was happy that she and Vrexen could move around much more comfortably than they did before in Yenworth.
With a mix of waryness and curiosity, Myra moved around Aldrakh carefully, trying to hold herself back from wandering away from Vrexen and Astra.
