Elias

---

The Grimm followed Alexis silently, trusting in Hundar's training to keep them undetected. Despite his immense size, he was able to walk silently, stepping around any conspicuous objects that would cause noise. The forest was quiet, any sounds of wildlife muted by the dense surrounding foliage.

As the two dismounted and slowly prowled through the woods, Elias sniffed softly, catching the fleeting scent of a creature near them. He was unable to properly identify it, but the Wesen presence was unmistakable.

"I know you are here. Come out come out wherever you are." Alexis voice was soft and deadly, the predatory note clearly showing through. Elias' face became like stone, his jaw clenching tightly as he pulled out his scythe, the chain clinking softly as he readied himself, preparing for the fight.

As Alexis prowled forward, Elias silently slipped away, plunging sideways into the forest to loop around. As he went, the faint smell of honeysuckle and alluring aromas reached the Grimm's nostrils, detectable only due to his enhanced senses. The color of the forest shifted slightly, turning the greens to browns and the yellows to reds. Whether the forest was physically changing appearance or the bloodlust was altering his vision, Elias was unsure. But the change was evident, and very real.

A soft trill resounded through the forest, floating towards the pair on the gentle breeze. Elias' muscles tightened as he felt a deep unease in the pit of his stomach. There was hardly a creature that scared Elias throughout all of Wesenkind, however the magical presence of the creatures was one that Elias had felt rarely, and it always signified trouble.

Elias opened his mouth to shout a warning to Alexis, however the wind immediately tore through the trees, ripping the voice from his throat and tossing it aside. Elias sank his scythe into a tree beside him and clung onto it for dear life, barely able to keep his footing in the harsh gales billowing through the trees. The soft trill that had been echoing through the forest became a piercing shriek, combining with the scream of the wind to produce an unearthly wail that ran chills down Elias spine.

A primal growl tore its way out of the hunter's chest, however it was barely audible over the noise. The shrieks of the creatures increased tendfold as the first of the woodlands sprites appeared.

Spriggan

Elias ears began to ache at the piercing noises, however he ignored it, searching for the nearest moving thing. A vague flick of motion out of the corner of his eye signaled that Alexis was still on her feet and fighting against the wind, however he ignored it as he ripped his scythe from the tree and charged the Spriggan, his blade slashing out in an arc against the creature.

The sprite raised its arm, summoning leaves, branches, and roots to its aid as the forest itself lashed out against Elias, ensnaring his blade mid-air and attempting to yank it from his grasp. Leaping forward with the scythe, the Grimm kept his grasp on his weapon, sailing over the knot of wood and plants that held his scythe and kicking the Spriggan in the chest.

With a single, fluid motion, Elias sliced through the bonds that held his weapon and cleaved a good chunk of bark off of the Spriggan, shouting over his shoulder to Alexis in a brutal scream as more trills began resounding from the woods around them.

"Spriggan pod! They have magic!"

Elias

As Alexis went to get ready, Elias quickly climbed the side of the house and slid through his open window, changing clothes and grabbing his weapons. He unlocked his bedroom door and quickly went back out to the stables where he led Hundar out of his pen and saddled him.

Once Alexis arrived, the pair took off across the plain and into the woods, on the hunt. Elias' senses were highly sharpened as he kept an eye out for any kind of creature that would be a Wesen.

The forest wasn't too dense, however the winding paths, rolling hills, and heavy foliage obstructed their view for more than about twenty feet. The wildlife darted through the underbrush around the pair, fleeing from the sudden disruptance in the quiet forest. From foxes to frogs, the diverse creatures were noted carefully by Elias. While most of the creatures he saw were rather useless to him aside from basic food purposes, there were a few that had ties to Wesen and that made them valuable.

After almost an hour of travelling, the pair paused in a clearing. Elias guided Hundar into turning around to face Alexis and Merle, raising an eyebrow at her. "Where to?"

Elias gave a knowing smile. "Isn't there some saying about how a magician never reveals all his tricks?"

Her next question gave him pause. Her heritage did bring a certain amount of doubt to his mind. Regardless of her talents, having a Grimm's powers were invaluable, and without them she would always be at a disadvantage.

A small smile broke across his face as she proposed her challenge. "I don't think you know exactly what you're getting yourself into, Alexis. I would advise caution." Elias rose to his feet, stretching briefly before turning back to Alexis. "Thirty days, most kills? It's a deal. May the best hunter win."

Sorry about the delay on the Seb post. I had a bunch of school related things come up that I thought I had handled and I had to really devote myself to them to make sure I got good grades.

Sebastian pulled his attention away from the others, his gaze drifting over towards the door. As a Siren, he was more in tune with sounds and vibrations than other supernatural creatures. Werewolves had super hearing, that was a given, but they couldn't feel the vibrations in the air, detect the minute fluctuations and differences between the patterns that revealed many things to him.

Xerxes voice filtered through the cracks in the doorway into the room, his shouting reaching quite a distance away. His words were muffled through the wall, but it didn't take super senses to figure out that he was pissed.

Sebastian's chest emanated a soft, deep hum that permeated through the room and into the nearby hallways. Sebastian had been able to use echolocation his entire life, but he hadn't really found many uses for it since he was a little kid; he was rarely in situations where he was completely without light, and when he was, it was usually in his house, where he had memorized every detail and could navigate with a blindfold and earplugs. The night before had forced Sebastian to employ echolocation for the first time in years, and it had served as a reminder to him about just how useful it could be.

The vibrations from his chest reflected off of the walls of the room and bounced back, revealing the texture of every surface in the room, but the hallways outside were hidden from him.

The Siren sighed, disappointed but not surprised. The attack and sudden revelation of supernaturals in Klamath falls had left Sebastian on edge, nervous that something was going to go wrong at any moment.

”How are you doing, Seb?” Cassandra's voice snapped him out of his thoughts, bringing him back to the real world. The girl stood next to his bed, looking down at his with soft, innocent eyes. ”Did you need anything?”

Sebastian met her eyes and smiled softly, glad to have someone to talk to. "Aside from a new leg? Maybe a sprite?"

He forced out a soft chuckle the moment the words left his mouth, trying to mask his discontent. While he was in a fair amount of pain, he knew Cassie would be in more. If past experiences were anything to judge by, she would feel guilty that she had healed much faster than her friends. That, and her dad coming out as an angel? The way she had reacted, it was obvious Cassie didn't know. She probably felt betrayed in some way, how her father had lied to her all those years.

Just like you, Seb. Sebastian's face flushed with shame and he realized he was guilty of the exact same thing. He had hidden who he really was for years, but no one seemed to hold it against him. It was odd.

Elias

Elias leaned back into the hay, interlacing his fingers behind his head and looking up at the barn's ceiling. He felt utterly exhausted, but he knew it wasn't from any physical ailment. He had been forced to maintain social interaction and pleasantries every single day since he had arrived at the manor. The months leading up to his arrival had been filled with violence, brutality, and bloodshed. The sudden transition from primal beast to respectable gentleman was taxing on Elias, and he wasn't positive how much longer he could sustain the image.

Elias pushed the thoughts aside, not letting the darkness taint the happiness of the morning. Inhaling deeply, he released a long sigh as his body slowly woke up. "There's a reason that my bloodline chose to be Reapers. We Grimms have possessed a wide variety of skills and abilities related to Wesen that we obtain through our inheritance. Some Grimms don't get the gift; We don't know why or how the gift chooses who obtains it, but we know that you have to have Grimm blood in your veins to get it."

Elias rolled onto his side, looking at Alexis with a sleepy expression. "We can sometimes see Wesen through their disguises; we call it a Woge (voh-GAY). When they get agitated or emotional, their disguises slip, and we can see them for what they really are. There are a few other things we can do, but that's the most important one."

Elias frowned and titled his head slightly, his brows furrowing close together. "Why do you ask?"

@Wick Hey love, I'm so sorry for the delay. I was crazy busy studying for a test I took today and then I got called into work to help close the store and got stuck there training a bunch of new people. I promise I'll get a post up tomorrow morning, but I have gotten roughly four hours of sleep over the past 36 hours and I need to rest. I'm so sorry!

Elias

The night held haunting dreams and restless sleep; each time the creatures of the night made noises outside of the stables, Elias awoke, hand on blade in case of an attack. It wasn't until the sun was coloring the sky a dark blue that he finally fell into slumber.

The sudden, rude awakening of a bucket of water being poured on his head brought him about with a start. He was disoriented and confused, not to mention grump enough to make a gnome seem amiable.

The Grimm bolted to his feet, glowering at the girl near him, reaching for his blade to strike her down. After a moment, her laughing form slumped against the wall as she gasped in pain. Alexis...Elias' expression softened as he identified her, smiling faintly as she groaned at her leg.

The events of the previous night returned to him while Alexis slowly regained her balance. The banquet, the dancing, the fighting... Alexis display of superior combat abilities the night before demanded that Elias stop treating her with such contempt; he wasn't going to be the happiest towards her, but he would show her due respect.

The dreams that he had woken from were of him and Taric, but instead of the horrific nightmares, they were pleasant reminders of successful hunts and dangerous adventures. Elias smiled, his spirits lifted from the night's reminders of his partner.

The Grimm walked over towards Alexis and bent down, throwing her over his shoulder in a single, fluid motion and spinning around, chuckling lightly as he did. The happiness he felt within his bubbled over as he played with her, continuing to spin about the stables. Hundar whinnied in slight alarm, but he ignored it, gently bending over and placing Alexis on a bale of hay.

He plopped down beside her and let loose an easy laugh, surprised at his own amiability. "Well, that was quite a rude awakening."
