Alright, I got some posts up! (Finally.)
Note: Sorry in advance to Mytt that Brandt is acting a bit hostile. I couldn't really help it. :/
Anymore posting will have to wait till the morning though.

Luna furrowed her brow. "Mark of your training? Whatever that means." She looked around, mostly at the other Shepherds, before quickly turning her attention back to Rachel. "Rachel? Oh, what a pretty name." She smiled as she remarked the last bit. "Hm, oh well that's..." She trailed off, how long ago had she joined the Shepherds. Her years of living alone, coupled with the fact she was a Manakete, made her a terrible tell of time. "I can't quite remember how long ago it was I joined, probably less than a year. No more than two I wanna say." She shook her head. "And let's see. Why I joined huh?" She sat silent a moment before finally remembering. "Oh right. It was because at some point I was getting attacked by a whole bunch of guys for no reason at all. And then these Shepherds came in and were all like, "Stay back you fowl vagabonds!". And then they rescued me, so I decided to join them to show my thanks!" She explained the entire situation making various animated hand gestures as she went. "So that about sums it up, how 'bout you?" She tilted her head slightly, Rachel had raised an amount of curiosity from the young Manakete.
Brandt had simply trudged along with Kalina. That is, until the town came into sight. "By the gods! Thank you dearest Naga!" He shouted gleefully. As they entered into the town he looked to Kalina and smiled. "Guess we're not gonna shrivel up after all huh? And it's all thanks to you!" He scratched the back of his head. "Y-yeah, it really is..." He mumbled to himself. This young girl had truly just saved his life, he shuddered to think what might have happened with out her. In any case, his mind somewhat went blank at the smell of food. His stomach rumbled loudly. He then also remembered how terribly thirsty he was, and made no complaints when she dragged him towards the tavern.
Before the sweet satisfaction of water was to be his. A young man ran straight into Kalina, in turn shoving Brandt as well. "Watch where you're going!" He barked at the man instinctively. Very swiftly, Brandt had dawned a harsher looking face. He began carrying himself more menacingly. He immediately noticed the glint of gold, coupled with the fact eh was being run down by guards. This man, was a thief. He silently allowed the young man to lead them into the tavern, not wanting to make a scene out in the open. After they had entered the inn he immediately turned to the young man and grabbed his collar. "Alright, what did you steal? And you're answer will effect the outcome of this conversation." He needed to figure out what it was quickly, lest himself and Kalina get stuck in a storm of trouble.

Hey, guys, mind if you post longer posts? This is high casual, after all~
Umm... okay...I'm pretty sure you're not referring to me. But I'm gonna go ahead and say this now. I'm probably not going to be able to do anything more than 4 paragraphs, and that's on a really good day. I can only reliably get two, maybe three paragraphs out normally. Hope that's not gonna be an issue.

Oh noeesss! So scawwy D: But it's ok, she won't hack you to pieces like Brandt probably would haha. Working on post...now!
At this point Brandt would try to hack Mytt to pieces no matter which one he tackles. XD But don't worry, he's not bold enough to start hacking up people in the middle of the street.
Myyt said
Yay! Who wants me to tackle them as I make my great escape? ;D
Probably should make that Kalina after Veiledrose's next post. I mean, you could tackle Brandt. But I wouldn't really advise it. XD
Brandt's face became stern as Kalina became fidgety and nervous. He nodded to her at the point she mentioned needing water. They were in unanimous agreement. He then began scanning the horizons checking for anything new. Still nothing but sand. "Well, I guess we bet-" Just as soon as he began to stand up Kalina started acting very odd. Moments later she fell to her knees and changed from a girl to a white beast in seconds. He stared at her silently, deciding his next move. He smiled, and faintly chuckled. He was actually incredibly happy at this revelation. He looked at the snowy beast, looked like something he'd see back in Ferox. And truer still, this information proved how much she truly trusted him. "Actions son, always ring truer than words!" He could hear his father's voice in the back of his head. One thing him and his old man agreed on. Beast, human, or both, this girl was one who trusted him. And he trusted her in return. He looked at Kalina and nodded. "Alright, I'm counting on you. We're in this together, so we have to get out of this together. I hope you find something of aught. I'll be here, when you return." And with that, she bounded off.
After some time had past Brandt had stuck his axe in the ground and tied his coat to it. It looked rather ridiculous, a poor makeshift flag. He really didn't know if it would help find him or not. Regardless he had to do something, lest his weariness overcome him. It seemed his lack of sleep the past week was finally catching up to him. The only thing staving it off before was his constant motion. He thought about moving on, looking for something himself. But then he thought otherwise. What if Kalina came back and couldn't find him, she might end up searching the entire desert for him. He shook his head, sending away those thoughts. After a little more time had passed, he found himself sitting against the shaft of his axe. His thoughts becoming muddled and blurry. His vision became darker and darker, and finally, it went dark.
It felt as if only seconds had passed before Brandt was awoken by a blast of sand, a sudden jerk, and shouting. It was rather confusing all at the same time. "Wha- I'm up, I'm up!" He barked in retaliation. It took him a moment to realize it was Kalina. She seemed to be telling- no, ordering him not to die. Whether it was the heat, his exhaustion, or both. He simply laughed at the thought. "Ha! Me, die? Trust me Kalina, It'll take a whole lot more than some sand and sun to take this warrior down." He said confidently as he rose. Truthfully he was very thankful she had returned. At some point he had considered she either left him, shriveled up, or got taken down by bandits. He frowned and shook his head. "Alright, so did you find anything?" It seemed she was very exhausted, as she only nodded and pointed in a single direction. "Great! So if we go that way we'll find something? Onward ahead then!" He shouted triumphantly, even though he had no idea what they were heading towards. But at this point, it didn't matter to him. Anything was better than blank desert. He helped the now exhausted Kalina to stand and began trudging along in the direction she pointed.

I figured Kalina and Brandt can head to the town where Myyt is lingering, so that Myyt can have some RP time with other characters and not have to wait too long for the rest of the group to get there. If that's not ok just let me know
I have no problems with that. So, after my next post you can go ahead and do the opening post for the town. If that's alright?
Edit: Alright, so it seems I've decided that heat and exhaustion make Brandt very jovial. If he spends much more time in the sun he'll probably start singing! XD
Luna had simply been following along the rest of the group, lost in her thoughts. She was confused by the whole situation. They were saying that Ylissean soldiers attacked them, weren't the Shepherds Ylissean too? It didn't make any sense to her at all. She looked around, weary from all the walking, and the weather. For her, the heat and sun wasn't as bad. But nevertheless she still didn't like it. She was more used to cool windy areas, the desert was the exact opposite. Eerily silent, save for their "merry" band. She quickly located a tree, walked over to it and plopped down. Her legs were screaming at her to rest.
Luna continued lost in her own thoughts, until someone sat next to her. The fully robed girl offered her water. Truth be told, Luna hadn't really gotten too thirsty. But she smiled and accepted it anyway. After taking a small sip of the canteen she handed it back to the robed girl. "You know, you'd be a whole lot cooler if you took that robe off. " She said mimicking the action of taking it off. And maybe I would be too if I turned into a dragon. She thought to herself, before quickly dismissing the thought. They'd be a lot easier to spot with a dragon among them. That wouldn't be good. She shook her head, breaking herself free from her thoughts once more she looked back to the woman beside her. "Oh yeah, what's your name miss? I'm Luna, nice to meet you." She smiled as she introduced herself. She wasn't sure why, but the woman seemed rather trusworthy.
Brandt let out a sigh when the girl agreed to a short rest. He frowned when she mentioned the heat killing them. He wasn't going to object, after all he wasn't fond of sleeping out here. He just needed to stop moving for a minute. He was about to sit when suddenly the girl got down on her hands and knees and began digging. "W-what?" He furrowed his brow trying to figure it out. Moments later it finally hit him. "Ah, I get it. The underlying sand will be cooler than the sand at the top. That's very clever." Before Brandt followed her into the newly dug holes he quickly scanned the horizon in every direction. "Nothing, just sand, sand, and more sand. Same as it was last time I checked." He said the last bit letting out a bitter sigh. He shed his coat and tied the sleeves around his waist, as to keep it out of the way. He walked over and unceremoniously dropped into the nearby hole.
Brandt sat silent for a moment. Then looking over to Kalina he nodded. "Thanks for the digging, grand idea." He sat up in a slightly less relaxed position, deciding he should be a little cautious. "Alright, next up is finding something in this Gods awful place." He mumbled to himself. He sat thinking of what they needed, a town, food, water, and many more things would be nice. The more he thought the less he wanted to rest. If they didn't hurry they could get stuck in the desert at night. That wouldn't be good. But regardless, he let his exhaustion get the better of him. He decided to rest a little longer yet. Fearing he might drift to sleep he tried to get some kind of conversation started. "So, how's it going?" It was a weak attempt at best, but it was all he could manage aside from discussing how dire their situation was.

Alright, finally got Brandt's post up! Luna is going to have to wait until the morning because it's terribly late and I'm tired. :/
Brandt was breathing heavily, his mind a blur. He heard the sounds of shouting and clashing blades behind him. He had taken a few wounds, but he shrugged it off. I have to keep fighting! He thought to himself, over and over again. Slumping against a nearby tree, it seemed he had escaped the chaos. After hacking his way through a couple dozen Ylisse soldiers, watching comrade after comrade get cut down, he sighed heavily. "Gotta...keep...going..." He muttered to himself as he stood.
Brandt stopped dead in his tracks, and instinctively raised his axe when he saw a person. He squinted, his vision already becoming terribly blurry with his amount of exhaustion. "Bones! That's no soldier." He said staggering towards the young girl. He stopped as soon as he realized she was covered head to toe in blood. Was it hers? Was she wounded? He quickly ran to her and fell to one knee. After examining her, he figured that she was not critically wounded. "That's good..." He trailed off. He had already figured she was a survivor. He tried to ask her a few questions, but she was silent. "Alright, no matter. We need to get out of here. Can you walk?" It seemed the girl nodded in response. He halted a moment, hearing shouting not too far behind them. "Blast! Well, guess we'll have to make a run for it." He then grabbed the girl's hand and broke out into a full on run. The wind brushing against his face, everything a blur as he dashed madly away from their pursuers.
Brandt squinted up at the sun, then looked back to the girl behind him. Oh dearest Naga, why did it have to be a desert. My own personal hell. He thought grimly, he was already fed up with the sweating, and the heat. After they had escaped the Ylissean soldiers, they had a small chance to rest. And then, they made for Plegia. He had heard somewhere along the way that a small group of surviving Shepherds had headed into Plegia. So, he had decided to see if he couldn't track them down. Perhaps they had information on the mass assault against the Shepherds.
Brandt trudged along for a bit, occasionally glancing back at the girl. They hadn't spoke much. And from when they had, all he learned was that her name was Karina. And the fact that she was indeed a Shepherd. Frowning, he looked back at her. "How you holding up back there? Need to take a break?" He asked, hoping she'd say yes. He wanted to rest, more than anything.
