"You are fine." Luneth said to Hikaru, eyes not leaving his blade. "You have wounded, so I'll let you stay. What attacked you, if I may ask?"

[Charlie]

"I believe that's a good idea." Axle says, "Staying in one area, in a forest that have the creatures you spoke of in, is just poor strategy." Axle analyzes the animals around him. Hikaru seems healthy enough.

"A wolf- with metal claws- by the name of Ash." Hikaru replied, looking worried for everyone's safety right about now. "We'd better get out of here before he sends Shades."

[User]

"so lets go, onwards to the promised lands of over the brow"

[MangaArtist15]

Hikaru looked at the fox, his eye twitching involuntarily. "You think this is funny?" His eyes narrowed, becoming extremely serious. Hikaru's voice became darker in tone as well. "Those Shades are going to murder us."

[Opposition]

Himeko quickly reaches a hand out to gently touch Hikaru's fur in an attempt to calm him down and get his attention.
"Hikaru, not now, ignore your anger. You are in no shape to fight, especially when your 'friend' could come back any minute."

[Kafka Komedy]

"Hmm. Well, let's democratically vote this out. We either stay here and defend this place, or we leave, and attempt to find a safer place to rest our heads." Luneth pitched in. "I, personally would like to challenge this 'Ash', but you are not in top condition." Luneth paused, as if he were thinking something over "I will follow you, seeing as you attract danger, and are not ready to face it."

[MangaArtist15]

"No, Himeko. He wouldn't come back like that. He knows there's too many of us for him to handle." Hikaru shook his head, scratching his neck with rapid movements of his hind leg. "He's going to send some Shades after us, no doubt about it."

[Kafka Komedy]

"I have not heard of these 'Shades', what are they?" Luneth asked, putting away Judgement and walking closer to the group congregated at the entrance to the cave.

[MangaArtist15]

"Um.. Shades are horrible monsters that were given birth to about fourteen years ago, during the..." Hikaru gulped nervously. "..Incident."

[User]

"yes lets usn ride as ive said before over the mountain"

[MangaArtist15]

Hikaru looked at the fox, amused. "And how do you propose we do that, your fiery-ness?

[Kafka Komedy]

"Yes." Luneth said to Hikaru. "Even I can not jump that high. Only the bat would be able to get there." he stared bemused at Charles

[User]

"we will, get a cart there." he looked out "and we will achieve great heights." he then looked a bit sad "that or we just walk"

[MangaArtist15]

"Give me a break," Hikaru groaned. "Anyone have any bright ideas?"

[Minarawr]

Mina looked up. 'I say we move up stream, most likely it will lead somewhere up hills and will grant us better access to any mountain passes. If we get to higher ground we can better prepare for whatever can happen and can keep a lookout.' she said.

[MangaArtist15]

Hikaru nodded. "Yeah, I agree with that." A loud roar broke out deep in the forest. "There's a Shade. Let's move out before it smells us."

[Kafka Komedy]

Luneth shook his head. "You go upstream, I will deal with this monstrosity. If I do not meet up with you in an hour, send your bat friend to look for me." Luneth then hopped out of the cave to the base of the mountain, blade at the ready. "He will meet Judgement."

[MangaArtist15]

Hikaru was already ten steps ahead of everybody. "Let's go!"

[Opposition]

Himeko puta on a signature smile and follows her friend.
"Lead the way, Hikaru."
