With the decision made by the group to stay and rest a little, Ayita sat down against the wall for a moment. She was exhausted but there was still so much to do... Even after finding other humans, other people who also wanted to, or at least said they would, fight against Aklenroth, Ayita didn't feel like she could trust them that much. More importantly... She didn't know if they had what it takes to do what needs to be done.

Interrupting her thoughts, Kuroi's voice drew her attention once more as he stated that there was an entrance to the sewers not far from there. It was indeed the best alternative if they didn't want to draw any attention. Maybe not the most pleasant but the one they needed the most.

"It would be wise to... Although we can't sleep... Not yet... Stay awake." she replied, not just to Kuroi but to the rest of the group as well. It wasn't any secret that Ayita was also extremely exhausted and was struggling to keep herself awake as she sat down to rest for a few minutes and she knew how much the others might want to close their eyes and sleep.

"Conserve energy. We are all exhausted and every single bit of energy we can save might be the difference between life and death." she finished, talking in a low, slow voice, almost as if she was trying to move her mouth and vocal chords as little as possible.

Even though she didn't know if she could trust them completely, Ayita could relate to how the rest of the group probably was feeling. Sitting down and trying to relax, trying to rest and not being able to sleep despite how exhausted they were was akin to torture... But they didn't have many alternatives if they wanted to get out of the city and get somewhere safe.

Ada

^{@PaulHaynek@Rezod92@Restalaan@ShwiggityShwah}

Ada was still trying to do her best to not seriously hurt the maid, as she wasn't sure how her friends would react to that but honestly, it wasn't very easy to do so. The maid did move quite quickly, which was surprising for Ada and she also knew how to fight with those weird sticks. The way she moved them was rather weird and Ada kept trying to go in but was kept at bay due to the sticks. Fortunately, the moment she turned around to throw a stick on Freyr, it gave her and Sir Reed an opening to do something against the maid. Since she had only one stick in her hand now, it was going to be way easier for them.

The moment Sir Reed locked the Kikimora maid's arms behind him, he yelled for her to finish the maid off, which made Ada confused, as she looked at the maid and then to Sir Reed. Fortunately, it seemed like Sir Reed did see the confusion on her expression and gave her clearer instructions, telling Ada to knock the maid out. Now knowing what to do, Ada twisted her body and swung her tail, aiming right to the Kikimora maid's stomach, hitting her with a powerful blow. Hopefully, enough to knock her down.

Freyr

^{@PaulHaynek@Rezod92}

Freyr was able to successfully deflect the stick that was thrown towards Ditzy, allowing him to continue towards the cart to take Nero to safety while Freyr continue to provide long range support to the others with his bow. As Ditzy lifted Nero and began carrying him, running back towards Freyr himself, he focused on keeping Ditzy safe form other possible stick throws. Unfortunately for the hobgoblin, he wasn't out of danger just yet. The moment he started running with Nero, the kikimora that was fighting against Kira hesitated and instead of continuing to fight against her, completely ignored Kira, dashing right towards Ditzy to intercept him.

Seeing that, Freyr was ready to fire an arrow at the kikimora's legs in order to prevent from reaching Ditzy. That said, when he was about to let go of the arrow, an arnis stick hit his arms, throwing off his aim and ruining his shot.

"Dammit!" Freyr cursed as he pulled another arrow, nocking it into his bow and aiming at the kikimora maid.

Unfortunately, he was too slow due to the blow on his arms and the second he aimed at her again, she already had Ditzy in her arms. Somehow, she had already tied Nero again with a rope and was using Ditzy as a shield against Freyr's arrows. Maintaining his aim, Freyr awaited for further developments, as it was now a hostage situation. Giving a quick glance around, he would also realize that the other kikimoras had disappeared, apparently turning into mist after being beaten.

As Ozzy began talking with the Kikimora after hearing the reason for all that mess, Freyr kept a cold, piercing gaze as he aimed his bow, ready to fire as soon as he saw any chance to do so without hurting Ditzy. While he could somewhat understand why the Kikimora maid was going to such distances merely because of love, he still couldn't agree with the actions she choose to take. After all, even if Haley didn't want to be with him, that wouldn't be an excuse for him to kidnap her or anything.

The Vanishing Kingdom

Kalla

"That is much better, isn't it? I admire your determination, Lynn. Despite everything you went through, you still stood strong." Maeve said with a smile to both Lynn and Valia as they finished. It did take a while but Lynn was definitely in a much better state than she was when she arrived.

"That is a sublime idea! I think I might do the same. I think we both deserved after everything, right?" Maeve said with a wink and a mischievous smirk to her as she helped her to get Lynn dressed. It was a bit weird even for Maeve, but she felt a connection with Valia, despite how distant the places they lived were from one another. It was almost as if they were already friends despite having met each other only for a day.

With that finished, Valia got Lynn, carrying her on her arms with a surprising ease. As they were heading towards the exit before making their way towards the Oasis though, Valia asked why someone such as Maeve, from Tundral was in Kalla, a place that was certainly miserable for her to visit due to the temperature.

"Hm... Indeed that's an interesting question. To answer that though, I will have to tell you a bit more about myself." Maeve said, looking back to Valia with a smile before continuing walking.

"As you might already know, I am the second child from the Orzhov family, a wealthy and influential family on Tundral. As it is expected from one of the oldest families in Tundral, the Orzhov are very strict in many aspects, insisting in dumb and obsolete traditions such as that the head of the family must be a male and the eldest son. For me, that meant I was going to be fated to merely be married to someone else in a political marriage, merely for the benefit of my family or to serve the royal family." Maeve began.

"Unfortunately for my family, despite them trying to raise me into the perfect housewife, since I was a child I was fascinated with fencing and as I began getting older, displayed a innate talent in fencing. That, coupled with the magic in my family being rather strong and my love for fencing made me into the best duelist in Tundral. To make things even worse for them, when they brought the matter of marriage to me again, I stated that I wouldn't marry anyone who was weaker than me." she continued, with a mischievous smirk as she said the last part. Valia would notice in Maeve's voice that she wasn't boasting at all when she said that she was the best duelist in Tundral. It wasn't mere arrogance. Her voice was the voice of a woman that knew she was the best. Such confidence wasn't born out of lies or exaggerations.

"For most of my life, I was content in merely honing my magic and my fencing skills. But it began getting... dull and boring after some time. Nobody else in Tundral represented a challenge to me anymore. There wasn't anyone else that could beat me. Not even the best instructors on Tundral. Being in the top is honestly... boring. Especially if you're living like a caged bird inside the Orzhov mansion. It was suffocating." she said with a heavy sigh.

"After some time, I simply couldn't handle that anymore. Living in the shadow of my brother, being denied the seat as the head of the family despite being better than him in almost everything, merely because he is a few years older and a male... It was insulting. Not even the family could deny my talents anymore. I grew too big for Tundral... and too big for a family that doesn't give me the value and respect I deserve. Luckily, due to my status as a duelist and the noble balls and events I had to attend, merely as a puppet for the main family and for my brother, who was 'too busy' to attend to such events, I managed to make some interesting connections to other noble families, which gave me enough influence and leverage to openly go against my father's wishes. Having consolidated my position in Tundral as more than just the 'youngest daughter of the Orzhov family', I was free to do whatever I please." Maeve continued, this time her voice had a rather satisfied tone though.

"The first thing I did after being freed from the plans of my family was to leave Tundral. Why Kalla? I don't know. I lived in Isoli for most of my life. Kalla is almost the complete opposite to what Tundral is. Maybe that is one of the reasons I choose to go to Kalla first. Either that or it was just on a whim. Who knows..." she said with an amused chuckle.

"About my goals... I seek to further hone both my magic and my fencing skills, to know the world and enjoy the freedom that was takeb from me so far by my family, to maybe find someone that can give me a worthy challenge in a spar and finally, to make it so not even the Orzhov family can go against me anymore. To show them how much they underestimated me." Maeve finished, turning her head towards Valia now that she was finally done with telling her story.

"So, this is my story, Madam Valia. As an addendum, although I must agree that the climate is dreadful for an Isoli like me, the trip to Kalla was rather interesting and eventful so far. Plus, if I had gone anywhere else, I wouldn't have met such a good friend now, would I?" she said with a kind smile as she looked to Valia.

The Five Senses

Karina Frost

Karina heard to Týfurkh's words carefully as he started speaking. Indeed, they were heavily outnumbered and the second they got discovered, they would be surrounded. Just like the plan they had discussed earlier though, if everything was done correctly, they would have at least some time until the cultists realized what was happening. They had to capitalize and make the best use of that short amount of time.

"We should try to draw as little attention as possible. We will have at least some time until the sightless realize what is happening. We need to make the best use of this short time as we can." Karina said, turning to Týfurkh and the group with a confident expression. She knew that her plan wouldn't fail if everyone did their job or if by any huge stroke of bad luck, something unexpected happened. After all, she was a strategist and was confident in her intelligence.

"They will. Sooner or later they will discover what we are trying to do, Octavio. Our job is to have already done what we need to the second they discover." she said to him.

Unfortunately for them, the time was getting short and the toll of the bell, indicating that the guards had raised the alarm on the eastern gate meant that they had no time left for strategize.

With the guards already alarmed and an added distraction caused by Chres, the clock had began ticking. With the time until the sightless finally discovered what they were trying to do getting shorter, they had to move now and be quick about it.

"Remember, we are running against the clock. Be quick, quiet and efficient." Karina said to the group before they began their plan.

Myra was still a bit worried about Darius and Artemis. Even though Mathis said he would help her to find them she was still a bit worried. After everything that happened, who knows what could have happened to them? She could only hope they were safe since she simply couldn't go running around to try and find them for two reasons: Not only the amount of smells was too much for her to track them down properly but if she got separated from Mathis and her new friends and lost, things might get even harder for Myra. The fact that she would likely have to look for them on the town, a place she wasn't familiar with, was even worse for her. The fact that the yellow haired elf said that he didn't saw them made the idea of Myra going herself looking for them even more unlikely to succeed. Still, she wasn't alone. Mathis would help her to find them as he promised.

With the night getting darker, they needed to find a place for them to rest. When the yellow haired elf mentioned that the city was dangerous and saying he was going to go to the forest with the girl, Myra immediately looked to Mathis, nodding towards him, making it clear she agreed with the elf and that they should go to the forest as well. Not only she was going to be way more comfortable and calmer on the forest, she would also be able to get something for them to eat.

Myra got immediately a bit calmer once she found herself in an environment she knew and was accustomed with. Although she was fine sleeping almost anywhere, she still didn't completely trust the elf nor the girl. Even though they had indeed helped to heal her, they were still strangers for her. Unfortunately, even though her idea was to go to the forest but not together with the elf and the girl, it seemed Mathis had misunderstood her and they ended up going together, which didn't prevent her from keeping her eyes on the two while they looked for a spot to stay for the night. Even though it took some time for Myra to be able to sleep, especially due to being together with two strangers, after she finally fell asleep, Myra had some well deserved rest that night, especially after everything that happened, which definitely had exhausted her both physically and mentally. She did wake up a bit alarmed when she heard some movement around, but after realizing that it was the elf, whom seemed to not have slept that much, Myra laid down again after looking at him for a brief moment to continue resting.

When Myra finally woke up, the elf had already made a campfire and was making some food. After stretching herself, she walked over to Mathis to see if he was already up. If she found him awake, she would point towards her open mouth, in a clear sign meaning "food" and then to the forest. She wanted to go catch something for her to eat but she wanted to at least warn Mathis that she would be out for a moment in case he got worried.

After talking with Mathis, Myra dashed away inside the forest, disappearing in the blink of an eye due to both her speed and the fact that she was already used in moving herself in such places. After only a few minutes, Myra got back to the camp with an adult hare inside her mouth, carrying it to the camp. While it was but a 'bite sized' meal for Myra, it was already good enough for breakfast. Plus, she made sure to get the biggest rabbit she could see. Laying on the ground with her tail around her, Myra started to take off it's skin with her claws. Since she had no use for the fur, she simply shredded them to bits so she could reveal the meat underneath, taking a good bite out of it with her sharp teeth once it was done.

A few moments after she was finished eating though, Myra stood up abruptly, almost as if she had heard something. Looking around her in a rather alarmed manner, sniffing the air and sticking her tongue outside as she did so. To everyone watching, it was a clear sign that something was very wrong. A moment after that, the sounds began echoing through the woods, loud enough so everyone in the camp could hear it regardless if they had their senses as sharp as Myra or not. The terrible scuttling sound, approaching them made Myra look around and assume a threatening posture, hissing. Only a moment after that, spiders began appearing from the forest. Both their colors, how they looked and their dangerous appearance was something Myra never had seen before. She did know the danger that some animals in the forest could pose even to a predator such as her, like poisonous snakes and spiders. That said, it was clear for Myra that those spiders weren't something one would normally see in the forest.

Truth be told, Ylva was already expecting them to not have Akevitt or even Mead and was starting to think about a substitute but when the black haired woman told her that they actually had some, an entire bottle at that, she couldn't help but let out a surprised smile and a chuckle. To make it even more surprising, the particular bottle she had was one Ylva particularly liked.

"Hey, didn't think I would see one of those so far away from home." Ylva said with a chuckle as she looked at the bottle.

"And this one happens to be one of my favorite ones." she said with a satisfied smirk.

When she heard the woman's offer to make her a custom cocktail for her, Ylva raised an eyebrow with a curious expression. She had still some free time until it got dark enough for her to head to the woods. Plus, she was certain that her ancestors wouldn't mind if she took a small sip before the small ceremony and the offering.

"Hm... That would be interesting! Surprise-me." Ylva said with a smile, accepting her offer as she slid the still unopened bottle towards her and sat down in front of the counter.

"Oh and yeah, I arrived just a few weeks ago. You probably noticed by now but I'm Norwegian. Not exactly hard to notice, I know." she said with an amused chuckle.

"Hm... In a certain manner..." she replied when the black haired woman mentioned that it seemed like she was celebrating something.

"It's an old tradition, to share a drink in memory and respect for your ancestors and to those that passed away." she explained.

"Normally, it is a huge feast, with alcohol, food, meat, which is also usually hunted and slaughtered on the spot." she said, reminiscing about the previous feasts that she had with her clan.

"It's honestly great. Totally different from what most people think when they hear the words 'old tradition' or 'ceremony'. Drink and eat all you want, friendly spars and drunken brawls, dancing and singing soon after... The only bad part is the hangover if you're not a local or if it is your first time." she continued with a smile and a chuckle.

"It won't be much of a 'feast' this time though. At least not compared to how they were. Still, even though I am by myself, I still plan to honor my ancestors with a smile on my face and a drink in my hand." Ylva said, gently knocking on the Akevitt bottle with the back of her hand with a half smile.

"That said, It seems I found myself quite a nice place. I feel quite at home here. You guys do have Akevitt and I suppose Mead as well and even the occasional brawl!" She said with a laugh as she saw two guys brawling in the back.

"Might not party as rough as my kin but I certainly will become a regular." Ylva said, looking to the black haired woman once again. If she paid enough attention, Vivian would notice that the way Ylva referred to her people was a bit... different than normal.

"I am Ylva by the way." she said, extending her hand towards the black haired woman with an amicable smile. Should Vivian accept the handshake, she would feel a firm and strong handshake from Ylva. In a certain manner, exactly what one would have expected from her, due to her rather strong physique for a woman.

Blood's Jewels (High Casual Fantasy Revolution)

Winton

With Fatima continuing her act and having decided that they would indeed attend to Queen Alice's invitation, it was but one more situation that they would need to face. Even though, according to Fatima herself, she felt that Sybl was one of her own, Mikhail didn't seem to be the only one who thought it was unwise to trust him just because of that fact. With Denvar and Jandar accompanying Fatima and Sybl, there were enough people to keep Fatima safe, just in case Sybl or someone else had any funny idea. That said, Mikhail couldn't help but agree with Gennar as he approached Dareen, telling her to go with Fatima. Not only her presence might confuse the town as well but it will be another layer of defense for Fatima. While Fatima and the others went to search for a dress, he and Gennar were to work in a much more problematic and dangerous assignment... The 'requirement' the old priestess talked about earlier.

Mikhail simply nodded to Gennar as he nudged him, following him upstairs soon after. Not only they needed to find SaDiablo but more importantly, they needed to find a way to keep him under control, which was going to be very hard...

"The... 'requirement'..." Mikhail said in a low tone, once they were already far enough so Sybl nor any unwanted guest might hear them.

"We need to find a way to keep it under control..." he said to Gennar as they got up the stairs.

Truth be told, Mikhail had no idea on how they could do such thing, but if they didn't, SaDiablo might become a huge threat to the group if he somehow changed his mind or betrayed them.

Other than a simple nod accompanied with a sharp, dangerous stare, Ayita was silent the entire time when Kuroi led them through the slums. In full alert, she made sure to not let a single movement pass unnoticed, whether it was from Kuroi, Torvi and the other man who was with them or any people they might stumble with on their way. The very fact that she was among strangers and that she didn't know the slums as well as Kuroi did already put her in a disadvantageous position in case something happened. That said, even though she didn't trust them that much, she still had no other choice but follow them. Ayita had to get to the docks to try and find Cade and Sakura again.

Even with Kuroi's knowledge of the slums, it was still a long and exhausting way until they got to the docks. Without much time to rest, Ayita was already tired when they arrived on the city walls. Her stamina from hunting and dancing back in earth did help her a lot, although it didn't give her infinite stamina. Stopping both to rest for a bit and hear Kuroi's words, Ayita leaned on the city walls, much like Kuroi, as he spoke.

"Drawing attention might not be the best choice in the state we are right now." she said, opening her mouth to speak something for the first time since she joined the group.

Ylva raised an eyebrow as she heard Luke's words. Since she first time she met him, her instincts told her that there was much more on that man than what he was just showing them. It was almost imperceptible but it was something in his eyes, the way he stared back at her without stepping back or even reacting was a dead giveaway that her instincts were indeed, right. That said... The warning she wanted to give him was already delivered. As long as he minded his own business and didn't make any hostile move towards her, they wouldn't have any problems.

As Ylva, Millie and Luke got out of the diner, Millie asked Ylva and Luke to tell more about themselves. Ylva restricted her stories mostly to the small town she lived in. Ordinary talk to anyone who lived in a small town, nothing suspicious about it on the surface, although it was clear that she didn't say the exact name of the town she lived and didn't talk much about her own past. Unsurprisingly, Luke also didn't give out much about his own past or about what he was hiding. Despite that, Millie didn't seem to catch on the strange atmosphere between Ylva and Luke or if she did, she still managed to maintain an adorably cute smile and cheerful attitude.

After a few minutes of chatting around though, they finally went their own ways. Not before Millie sharing her cellphone number with both of them though. Even though it seemed like Luke had understood her message, Ylva felt like it was still worth giving Millie a small warning about the man in question, which she did so by cellphone, sending her a brief message.

With that brief but interesting meeting over, Ylva was once again on her own, without much to do. Fortunately, she had a very good idea of what she was going to do that evening. She had yet to go exercise or do some hunting since she had arrived on the city and all that time without running freely like she used to do on her hometown was already making her feel a bit stressed. That said, there were a few preparations that needed to be done before she could go to the forest after the camping grounds. She merely had to go home and get a small backpack, the kind that most people would usually take when they went hiking. Small enough to not hinder her movements but spacious enough for her to take a hunting knife and a few things such as a small lighter and another few stuff for an evening 'picnic' that she was planning for her. The first one in quite some time.

With that done, she needed one last thing. No hunt would be complete without some alcohol, of course. Both as a tradition, a way for her to honor her ancestors and to make the lonely evening a bit better. Fortunately, she did heard some people talking about a good place to get some alcohol and that had a good variety too. A place called "Alexei's", Apparently a well known place around the town, something of a hot-spot for the older and younger generations alike. While it might be easier to just go to any small shop and buy a bottle of vodka, she still had some home that the place would have something a bit more... familiar to her, due to the rumors about the variety of drinks it served. That and since there was still some free time before the sun started going down, it was a good opportunity to go to the place and get to know it a bit better. After all, if they indeed had the type of alcohol she was searching for, she would almost certainly become a regular.

Arriving on the place, Ylva could quickly feel that Alexei's was indeed quite a cozy place and the number of patrons inside was a testament to how popular the place was. The rowdy atmosphere, while might be a turnoff for some people, made Ylva feel a bit more at home, as brawls were quite common in fasts and festivities back on her clan. As she made her way to the bar, Ylva approached a black haired woman that had just finished serving a drink to another patron.

"Hey, do you guys have some mead or some akevitt here? Bottle, not just a glass." Ylva said to the woman with an amicable smile as she approached the bar. Her strong accent and the foreign beverages she asked, a clear indication that she wasn't from these parts.

"Figured that I would have better chances of finding them here than in the shelves of a small market or something." she said with a chuckle.

"Other than that, I would also like something to drink. Feel free to recommend me something." she asked, looking to the black haired woman behind the counter.

Really? that's strange... I swear i did change that part too. Hm... Will edit it again. Thanks for the heads up!
