“Ahah, but don’t worry about it. The Apostles of Rheane vow to save humanity so I’ma do just that!”

Elisette

Nick resisted a sigh. Looks like he was heading back into danger, not that danger was uncommon in this world. Heck, he was even inserted into this world in some ruins filled with those scary, black, gooey things. Well, at least he had Elisette as company - A woman who fought off three giants. Surely she could handle a couple of skeletons.

The subtle meditation Nick did for guidance yielded results at least. He was granted another form of vision, clouds parting in the east with a ray of sunlight shining down upon the land some distance away in this vast expanse of snow. It was a direction, and that was all Nick needed. When they were ready to go, Nick subtly shifted their walk towards east. He trusted the guidance given to him, even if it lead to his possible doom.

The trek was fairly long, Nick and Elisette trudged through the snow with the latter making chatter about where this place was and where she came from. Nick thanked God she took the initiative, not only did the chat help pass the time but it also filled Nick in about some things in this world. Elisette herself was part of the 'Apostles of Rheane', a group of humans who protected the humanity of this world since the Moonless Era.

Then she spoke about the other races. There were the Elves and fey of Tamaln Forest. Not the friendliest bunch to the humans. Then there were the Bastelians, cat people who attacked humans for plunder and loot. They had a sun goddess named Auset-Kythet and were apparently building a temple. Bottom line, they weren't people Nick would want to meet. Hopefully, they would not have anything that Nick would need in the future. The Giants were creatures Nick had encountered. Apparently they had a four-armed king with traits straight out of an Earth myth. Not very mythical here, Nick guessed.

It was Nick's turn to talk after, with Elisette asking about where he came from and what was life north of the mountains. "Well, I already told you about Dawn. But I didn't come from there, I..." He scratched the back of his head. It was not that he didn't trust Elisette, but he felt now was not the time for the truth. "...came from somewhere else. Somewhere... far away. I'm trying to get back, you see."

The midday sun was in the sky when Elisette and Nick found their destination. It was still a bit far away, though, but Nick was glad that they made it without any trouble on the way. However, a silent dread fell over the atmosphere as they approached.

“Ah~! We’re here! Ahaha, you really came through huh. Not that I doubted ya. C’mon, its getting late and my feet are freezing. We’ll see if we can find anyone...and keep an eye out for anything bad, huh?”

Elisette

Elisette strode over confidently but Nick trailed slowly behind her. He was feeling it again, that anxiousness, that he was in danger. He had decided to call this power his 'spidey-senses' because really, that was what it was.

It was then Nick realized that he had seen this sight before. In that dream...! His heart fell as he quickly grabbed hold of Elisette's hand to stop her. "Elisette, we're not alone here." He told her before his gaze turned to the still snow around them.

“Wah! Yea! Undead! That place! Rheane asked me to come look into it. Something about undead and stuff!”

The warrior woman lit up at the mention. She ran over in order to exclaim herself, almost knocking Nick down from all that energy. He found it quite amusing, but it looked the village in his vision was the place she was looking for.

“Uh...I should have already been there but uh, there was a snowstorm and I got turned around...Oh! Right my name! Elisette. So uh, if you’ve been there before that’d be great if you could help me. Don’t worry, I’ll keep that cute little face of yours safe from any other scary giants. Or wolves. Or Bears. Or a giant flying snow scorpion.”

Elisette

Nick suppressed a laugh. "Nice to meet you, Elisette." The warrior woman was a bit awkward but he was more than glad that he had someone powerful looking out for him for now in this dangerous world. But at the same time, it felt shameful to be needing a bodyguard in the first place. Well it wasn't his fault, Nick thought. He was just a normal human thrust into a world of magic and mythology. Although, his fellow Earthlings seemed to be also normal but were doing quite well for themselves.

His objective to reach the mountain folk and inquire more about their Sage would be put on hold, he had a debt to repay to the warrior woman named Elisette. Besides, he might find even more leads in this venture. Hopefully more friendlier leads if what Elisette said about the mountain folk was true.

If Nick remembered his power correctly, he can only find the things he was looking for every night. He wondered if his vision earlier already spent his daily chance, which meant he and Elisette will have to look the hard way for the undead-plagued village until the next nightfall. "Alright, then. Let me try to remember where the village was. In the meantime, do you know what this village is called? Any landmarks that are notable?"

He then looked upward and saw the morning light. Yeah, his power was specific about this but maybe it was still early morning that it counted as night? After Elisette's reply, Nick would close his eyes and attempt to medidate to the now-invisible stars. Where was this village in his vision?

I'll give time for @AzureKnight to post before I wrap up the warrior monster fight.

It was fortunate that the lasagna the Altissima sisters had made was enough for both their uninvited guests and their fellow guild members. Of course, none of the guild members knew that the cheesy dish was made specifically for the verminous monsters but that was up to the Liliraune to reveal that if they wish so. At least, Haley didn't seem to notice the lower quality of the meal.

The unexpected banquet ended not long after and the Devil Bugs and Giant Mice were satisfied with the meal prepared specifically for them. "Your lasa-- Lasan-- Your cheese food was really good, plant lady! We'll definitely remember it and tell everyone we meet about it!" That... might not bode well for the Guild considering the company these monsters kept. "We'll keep our word and will be going now. Bye bye!"

"Aww man, I really wanted to take at least one man from this place." One Devil Bug complained, which made Haley's brow raise. "I haven't had a man for a long time now."

"It's fine, it's fine!" A Giant Mouse assured her. "Look at that guy." She pointed to Freyr. "He's practically covered by the bird girl's scent. I bet they already had lots and lots of sex." The comment left the Siren a red mess and an annoyed look on her face, but she said nothing.

-

In a matter of moments, the Giant Mice and the Devil Bugs evacuated the Guild HQ. Hopefully never to return. When they were all gone, a still-embarrassed Haley turned to the Liliraune. "Were they also here looking for men?! Thank the gods I've already taken Freyr while Neil, Bart and Reed still aren't here. We would've had a real problem on our hands if that wasn't so! How'd they find this place anyway?"

It was also then that the stomps of hooves and the neighs of horses was heard outside. Bart had apparently arrived... but then the Guild heard armored boots land on soil.

Nick gasped as he woke. He was panting as he stared at the white snow, yet his mind was elsewhere. He saw something when he was unconscious. Dreams? No, they seemed too... mystical to be dreams. Visions borne from his power? The likeliest reason. He saw a snow-covered village in the vision, but it wasn't Dawn. There was also that French maid dress, which Nick found quite out of place but then skeletons rose from the snow and came at him. What did it all mean?

“Wah! You’re awake! Jeez, I thought you were a goner! You had a bit of hypothermia and you look like you had been walking forever! You northern folk are crazy! Anyways, carried ya down the mountain. Should be pretty safe here. Ya should probably eat something. Them scrawny arms of yours probably aren’t gonna help ya a lot if ya don’t.”

Nick looked all around him. He just saw snow, really, but it appeared he was indeed down from the mountain and on the other side it seemed. The warrior woman's shouting rang Nick's ears, but he didn't mind. It was like an angel screaming at him in concern. She then handed him a bowl of cooked bits of meat. Nick didn't care what it was and immediately dug in, savoring the feeling of simply having prepared food in his mouth.

It hasn't even been a week into this world and Nick found himself already down in the dumps and barely surviving. He couldn't wait to get back home.

“So what’s your name anyways? And why ya traveling them mountains? Don’t suppose you’re from that village I’m supposed to be looking for, do ya?”

Nick swallowed the food in his mouth before answering. "Uh, my name's Nick. Nicholas Gallagher, but just call me Nick for short." He answered the first question. "I was looking for the people who live in the mountains. Got something I have to ask them about." Nick showed off his black, diamond-shaped artifact to the warrior woman without hesitation. "I heard they might know a lot about it."

She then asked about a village she was looking for. "Well, I did come from a village. A fishing village called 'Dawn'. It's a nice little town and it has a god, an Elder Beast, sorta friendly with them. A deer deity named Kyrnith." Nick replied earnestly. Nothing but the best for his savior. "There's trouble afoot there, though. But... it's got people already on it. Capable people, I would think."

"Then there's this village that had a... skeleton problem." Nick decided to also reveal his vision. Albeit, in digestible terms. "I... only caught a brief glance at the place before I... ran off. Not exactly sure where it is, either."

"A-Anyway, you have my deepest gratitude for saving me, Miss--" He indirectly asked for the warrior woman's name. "If there's anything I can do in return, let me know. If you'd like, I can help you look for this village."

Hey all! I'm having a hard time writing so the update may not come until Friday.

Really sorry. Ol' Paul's got a lot on his plate right now.

The warrior woman reacted too late to the first attack, she barely blocked the spear thrust from the giant and was sent spiralling across the snow. Nick's heart fell at the sight but she was not out yet. In fact, she retaliated before the giants' could even follow up on their assault. With inhuman speed, she slashed at a giant's tendons and joints and rendered it practically paralyzed. She finished it off by cleaving her sword upon its neck.

The last, combat-effective giant saw the writing on the wall and began to run away. But the warrior woman had no intention of letting it get away, she hurled her blade at the fleeing giant, spinning as it rode the air, before finding its target and the giant's head was split by the large sword and fell to the snow dead. The two giants that were still alive, the ones that pursued Nick earlier, succeeded in getting away and the small(?) skirmish was over.

“...oh hey, almost forgot about you. Eh~ What’s a cute guy like you doing all the way out here by yourself? You get lost or something? Out hunting? You’re not very well dressed, but you don’t look like the cold bothers you at all, huh! You must be pretty powerful or somethin’ heheh!”

Nick opened his mouth to speak but as soon as the situation relaxed, his fatigue instantly caught up with him and his sight began blacking out. "You... thank you... for the save." Nick forced out his gratitude as he panted. "I'm Nick and I... really screwed up... Goodnight."

Nick then collapsed in front of the warrior woman. Hopefully not for the last time.

"Sir Gillian, your advice is appreciated. However, I am captain of this order. While I will take your words into account, it is my position to dispense the orders. I shall take your advice on dividing our numbers, but remember that it is my decision."

Fanilly Danbalion

Jarde was relieved and glad that Captain Fanilly stood her ground and asserted her authority, stopping Sir Gillian from hauling them off. They were still splitting up, though, but now on the Captain's terms.

However, Lady Tyaethe then claimed with confidence that the artifact might already be gone from the fort. Spirited away by a thief who slipped away during all the commotion. Lady Maritza challenged the claim, but still offered to track the thief down should the vampire paladin's claim be true. Jarde stayed quiet during all this, having little knowledge on the matter, and looked to the Captain for the Iron Roses' next course of action.
