[IC] In the Land of Heartstone

[Laggia]

Bazgulub Runs after them but also picking op the ax, then went to run at his full strenght with the ax rosen into the air with one hand ready to kill anything " Yo dirty thief i will take out your insides and eart your heart ! " Bazgulub smiled under his helment the rage taht was fouling him was great and he loved the sencation it gave him

Dunmur punches his way through a wooden wall, rushing to catch up to Angel.

[NoahFire]

Angel keeps running before realising running is stupid (I comletely forgot about some stuff xD) Angel spreads her wings while she runs and takes off into the air flying pretty high. She watches what happens down below her.

[Laggia]

Bazgulub ran extra fast but saw that it flew op into the air. Running back he took the one axe that the other orc dropped and runned back to where the orc was Smiling he took the one handed axe back and threw it into the air towards the thing" By the three gods i hope you die ! "

Angel swiftly dodges the axe her being an archangel she can dodge many things while flying. Angel quickly flew very high up and was prepared to dodge anything else.

Raphion sighed then said "Under the circumstances I understand why you missed my introduction." He then leaned back slightly letting more wind hit him. He enjoyed flying it was a good way to feel nature with your whole body.

[SomeoneSomewere]

After the gentle flight he slowly landed in the clearing, folding in his wings. He then crouched and said," we walk from now on." He waited for them to get off of him, looking back at them.

Ryu clamored off the dragon, landing softly onto the grass. He took a look around the clearing, wondering what he got himself into. Ryu had known about the resistance, but he never thought he would actually blindly stumble upon them. Ryu just hoped they wouldn't figure out what he really was. Ryu waited for Raphion to climb down from the dragon.

[jorthon]

Raphion jumped off of Favnir landing a few feet away. He looked around their landing place. He then turned to face Favnir then asked "Which way do head off to now?" He started thinking of the woman he saw earlier. He was mainly thinking about the things that she said to him.

[SomeoneSomewere]

He said, his voice rumbling," the only way that would fit a dragon my size." He walked down the cleared away area, the trees high enough to still have leaves blocking sight of the trail from above. He tried to keep his tail still, so he didn't trip them, but he generally wasn't use to that.

[catmint]

Ryu followed the two through the clearing, keeping several feet between him and Favnir to avoid his large body. Ryu tried to memorized which way they came from in case he needed a quick escape. But so far everything seemed okay, and Ryu decided it would best to not think too much at this point.

[jorthon]

Raphion followed behind Favnir. Just out of reach of his tail. He wanted to let Favnir room to walk normally and It let him learn the area while not getting off the right trail to walk. He looked back a Ryu who was behind him. He was curious about this man and the mysteries behind his appearance.

[SomeoneSomewere]

It didn't take long for Favnir to reach the clearly, having walked slower then normal to let to two keep up. He looked back and said," Raphion, follow me. I have to introduce you to the leader." He looked at Ryu," feel free to return to your duties." He was still under the impression that Ryu was part of the resistance. He began to walk, heading for the largest building for the second time of the day, glancing up at the sky to find out what the time of day was. He would like a little shut eye before he had to leave again.

[jorthon]

Raphion looked around the clearing for a minute. As he heard Favnir he turned and listened to what he had to say then followed him. He gave a wave of goodbye to Ryu as he walked away. He studied everything he could as he followed Favnir to the leader of the resistance. He thought to himself as they walked 'I hope they let me join.'

[catmint]

Ryu smiled and nodded a goodbye to Favnir and Raphion. As they walked away from him Ryu allowed himself to breath a sigh of relief. He glanced around himself and walked in the general direction from where they came from. He went further into the trees, everything quiet except for the sounds of wildlife. Ryu glanced around, making sure there was no one else into earshot. His pleasant expression dissipated, and realized how anxious he was. Lost, confused, and tired, Ryu took a seat by the roots of a large tree. He leaned his head back against the tree trunk, taking deep breaths. Perhaps he should find his way to the resistance base, but he was afraid he wouldn't be able to keep up his ruse.

Favnir is greeted into the camp with the usual mix of friendliness and distrust. There were some elves who made a point of turning away when the large dragon came near, although he was officially a member of the resistance. There was a faction that believed that as Favnir was not an elf, he should not be a part of the Resistance. However, a far more practical group, including Lurias, was quite happy to have the massive flying monster on their side as opposed to any other side. Dragons are a great weapons simply because of the legends that surround them, and even the most hardened warrior may flee in the face of their fury.
As Favnir and Raphion approach the center of the camp, Lurias can be seen in the ornate armor he reserves for meetings with the dragon. He's surrounded on both sides by guards. An honorary guard, as their spears would most likely break if ever used in actual combat instead of just sitting there and looking pretty, but then again in this camp no real guard was needed for Lurias's safety. As Favnir approaches, Lurias can be seen going through the usual greetings, beginning by starting to enquire about Raphion's presence. However, as his eyes rest on Raphion's forehead, he freezes, and his eyes widen. His hands instinctively grip his sword hilt, and it becomes clear from the shine that this blade is quite practical, and Lurias is trained to use it.
After a tense moment of silence, Lurias realizes the threatening pose he's taken, and releases the weapon without drawing it. He walks towards Raphion with an urgency in his step as he quite rudely grabs the elf, inspecting the mark on his forehead. "Shira's Staff, it's real." He steps back, staring at you in disbelief. "Tell me, how did you come by this mark. You must have seen her, then, if you carry the mark." He paces, obviously agitated, too impatient even to wait for an answer.

In the forest, Ryu spots a small mark. It's not particularly noticeable, and one might easily pass this area a hundred times without spotting it. However, Ryu had been trained since birth to spot marks like this very one. It's a small pawmark, embedded in the tree. It means there's a village nearby. However, if this is the case, then they're all in danger. Lord Allen will undoubtedly have heard of the massacre that occured in the town, and he'd be searching the area. Even such a secretive race cannot hide forever, and Lord Allen has hired several very skilled hunters to track down your kind.

[Laggia]

Bazgulub Sighed and looked over to the orc leader. * Maybe i can win now he has only one axe and the other i threw to god knows where* He then walked closer towards the other orc, now with Morgathar in his hands Again he could fight him Again and win.

[catmint]

Ryu ran his finger over the mark in the tree, taking a few seconds to register it's significance. As soon as he did Ryu scrambled up from his seat. Breath quickening as if hunters were just around the corner. Ryu's first instinct was to start running in a random direction. But Ryu maintained a grip on himself, trying to slow his racing heart and think with a clear head. The first step would find the village. Ryu looked back at the tree with the mark before taking glance around the forest. Ryu went further into the trees, listening for any abnormal sights or sounds.

[jorthon]

Raphion backed up some when man who he guessed was the leader reached for his sword. He didn't reach for his knife, which was his first instinct. Raphion felt his forehead after the man started pacing thinking 'That's the reason the lady showed him those images. She was putting a symbol that referred to her.' After he finished thinking he said "Shira, so that was that lady's name. I was just entering the forest when she appeared before me. This was just a few........uh hours ago maybe." He thought about it for a bit then continued, "I'm not sure after I meet her she told me some information then showed me some images then I woke up with Favnir standing over me while surrounded by roses." Raphion pointed to the dragon that was still near by them. After this he said "Now I think I owe you an introduction about myself. I am Raphion and I came to join you in your fight against the Alderian Alliance."

Dunmur looked sideways at Bazglub. It seemed he would fight him right now. "Very well. If this is the way it shall be. However, I request that I may retrieve my axe." Dunmur stood ready to dodge any strike if necessary, although his stance was not an offensive one. Whereas Dunmur truly did believe himself worthy of the axe Morgathar, he was not fool enough to face the wielder with only half of his weapons. Even without the might of the axe himself, any Wielder would have to have endured great trials to reach the Axe, and many must have come before him, making the Wielder a formidable opponent.

There's the usual forest sounds of insects and small animals bustling about in the undergrowth. However, you do notice a mark similar to the first one you encountered a bit further along. A trail of marks. This is one of the ways that a trail to a village can be marked, allowing those who know of these marks to find the village. However, you're not sure how well you would be recieved by your kin, seeing how you've already caused the deaths of many by rousing Lord Allen. Kumiho are by nature inquisitive creatures, keeping an ear out for rumors of danger, and there is no doubt they will be fully aware of your involvement in the matter. Unlike the last few chaotic hours of your life, you face a choice now. And it's unclear which choice is the right one.

"No no no, not Shira." Lurias sighs, shaking his head as he paces. He looks worried and slightly confused. When he eventually speaks again, he's calmed down slightly, making an attempt to explain. "That mark is the Mark of the Forest." He gestures at the mark on your forehead. "It's a legendary thing. I've never seen it in person, only in an old book I inherited from my grandfather. That is the mark that was carried by Warlord Gundar, master of the Horde, more than 800 years ago. You must know the story. The Earth Mother asked a champion to slay a demon, and the orc failed. Because of this, the Earth Mother turned the orc's homeland to a barren wasteland." The elf turns to you, his eyes filled with an odd excitement. "The fact that you carry that mark means you were chosen for some task by the Earth Mother."
