Torvi had found it quite pathetic how their foe had pleaded for his life. Dying in battle was an honor and should die proudly, not sniveling and begging for their life. She had almost wanted to crush him just to shut him up, but at the same time she knew learning any information was beneficial so she refrained. Unfortunately it seemed someone else had been watching him and didn’t want him revealing any secrets. What Torvi did pick up on, however, was the fact that the spy was a woman. This was definitely something to keep in mind.

Baraian was right, they needed out of the sewer and needed rest as soon as possible. She also needed to bandage her arm before rot set in and she needed to lose the arm. So out of the sewer they went, embracing the fresh air and heading for the treeline. Torvi paused for a brief moment, however, as the earth seemed to speak to her in a way she’d felt once before. The same way when she first met Bowyn. She closed her eyes and connected with the vibrations, briefly seeing that undead army that had caused the pair to head to Roshmi in the first place. Her heart broke a little as she remembered the undead vision of Siiri and the woman Bowyn knew. Part of her longed to turn around and find her sister, to put her to rest, but the reasonable part of her won out as she moved again with the group.

They made it into the forest and were looking for a place to rest when she stopped everyone. She felt someone approaching and she’d readied herself to protect her exhausted companions. What approached, however, was a man driving a cart. He’d stopped and greeted them, being a little wary of the group, but friendly nonetheless. Because of his friendliness Torvi had an idea cross her mind. While it likely wasn’t the safest of plans, at least it would keep them moving while they rested. She’d glanced at her weary companions before turning back to the man and offering a large sum of amas she’d swiped from some of the wealthy at the ball in exchange for him taking them up the coast on his cart. At the sight of the money the man eagerly accepted the offer and Torvi reassured her companions that she’d remain awake as they rested to ensure that the man didn’t betray them. While she, too, was exhausted, she knew she could keep herself awake for at least a little longer. Too many times back home did she endure sleepless nights filled with plenty of commotion. She would take her turn to rest once the others rested first.

It was now afternoon of the next day and after some talk with the man driving the cart, a lion demi-human by the name of Koto, Torvi had discovered that this man was actually heading to the port to join the rebellion. He’d been finding out what he could about the rebellion for a while now, but it was Risa’s words that moved him into action. He couldn’t sit by idly any longer, he just had to do something. This made Torvi feel a little more comfortable with him, but to say she truly trusted anyone in the group would be a lie. Trust was not an easy thing when you were in a world that wanted humans dead.

”Do any of you think that what the creature in the sewer said was true or do you think he was full of lies?” She finally asked the group once everyone seemed well rested and fed. She was rebandaging her would with some clean cloth Koto had given her, trying her best to keep it clean. She was curious on what the others thought about the potential of there being a spy.

Kenia had kept the group going until the evening, however she did take a moment at one point to hunt a couple rabbits they’d seen along the way. She was swift with her daggers, hitting her mark with no issues whatsoever. At least they’d have something for supper other than jerky and the apples Elthrael seemed to like to produce, not that he seemed keen on giving any to Kenia or Bowyn anyways. That didn’t really bother Kenia anyways, though, since apples really weren’t good for long term sustenance.

She’d stopped to make camp just before the sunlight disappeared and cooked up the rabbit she’d caught for the group to eat. She still wasn’t fond of Zephyrin and didn’t trust her in the least, but there was another she trusted even less than her and he’d gone off to his own little fortress again like the night before. That was perfectly fine by her as she assigned people to watch again, allowing Arwen to take first watch. She took two watches herself once again, also opting to take the last watch. During one of her watches she took the time to snoop and confirm what she had already been suspicious about. There on one of Arwen’s elf ears was the small symbol Malachi had discovered that indicated the rebels. Just to be sure she silently wiggled the ear just enough, confirming it was fake. She’d made sure no one else was snooping before doing so, however, as she didn’t want to reveal the girl’s secret to the wrong people.

Long before the sun had come up, Kenia went out hunting once more. She’d once more come back with some rabbits and prepared them for the group. She managed to get it all done right before the sun started lightening the sky and doused the fire before waking all in the grouped camp up, telling all to be extremely quiet. Elthrael had gone off on his own and so Kenia had decided to use this opportunity to leave without him. She’d altered the path they’d been taking from yesterday ever so slightly and covered their initial tracks. She even went as far as to stay downwind from the moth man to make finding their scent even harder. She didn’t trust the man, especially now knowing there was a new human in the group, and was incredibly wary of leading him to the port. So while some may think her actions cruel, she was doing what she thought was necessary to protect those she cared about and to protect the rebellion.

Arwen had seemed a little hesitant to leave the moth fairy behind, but she’d complied and Kenia was thankful. She made sure to explain later her actions when the girl had asked. She also had seemed to make the whole group flower crowns and Kenia couldn’t help but find this quite adorable. She gladly wore the crown to make the young girl happy. The only downside, or perhaps it was an upside if you were looking to judge character, to this human was the fact that she seemed to talk a LOT and also hum strange little songs. While it was all cute at first, Kenia had a feeling that by the end of the day it might become quite exhausting.

Afternoon was now upon them and she took a moment to pass out the last of the food she’d made to everyone, especially to Zephyrin since she seemed to be the one most likely to complain when she was hungry. As people were distracted with food, she leaned over to Bowyn. ”I confirmed what I was suspicious of and what I believe you may have been suspicious of last night with our little newcomer. I apologize if my actions in accepting her into our group may have seemed...biased. We now just need to determine where her allegiance lies.” She whispered so only he could hear her while giving him an apologetic look.

After a moment of silence, Kenia glanced to Arwen and put on a friendly face. ”So Arwen, if you don’t mind me asking, where are you traveling from?” Time to see how well the girl knew Avalia and how good of a liar she could be.

The touch of the dark fairy now in front of her sent ice through Azriel’s veins, but she ignored the warning and smirked up at Helio. Any sane person would be trying to get away from the man immediately, but Azriel wasn’t entirely sane. Even she could see that about herself and admit it, though she didn’t see this as a problem. Some insanity could be good at times, especially when it helped minimize fear.

”So you did see that.” She giggled and bit her bottom lip as she gave him an impish grin, playing into the dangerous flirtatious game he’d started. She then took on a worried expression. ”Oh please don’t tell on me, Helio. I’ll be a good girl from now on, I promise...” She said in an overly exaggerated pouty voice as she placed a hand on his chest suggestively, but then giggled as she pushed him back and continued, ”or maybe that’s what I want. Either way I think you should do whatever tickles your fancy.” She winked at him and turned to start walking away as she’d gotten the answer to her question, but then she stopped and turned back around to look at him. ”Oh and perhaps I helped your sister out because now she owes me a life debt. Think of all the fun things I can do with that, it’s just thrilling!” She flung her arms out wide for dramatic effect and giggled again.

”Be a doll and tell Umber I said hello, would ya?” She blew him a kiss before spreading her wings and taking off into the night sky.

Elsea. It had been one of the fire users then and he just let her go. Kenia narrowed her eyes at Elthrael for a moment as more alarm bells rang in her head. Elsea was a kind girl and from what she knew she wouldn’t burn a bridge with an ally unless they really pissed her off and proved dangerous. From how Elthrael spoke it sounded as if the potential bridge between them had been burned and that was concerning for Kenia. This made her trust the moth even less and he was beginning to tread on dangerous ground. For now, however, she had to let it be and would deal with things later.

She hadn’t missed the look Bowyn gave her and she knew he deserved an explanation, but she needed more facts before she could explain everything. ”I know how it looks, but I’m begging you to just trust me on this one.” She leaned in and spoke quietly so only he could hear, praying that he’d be able to discern what she meant. Things weren’t all as they appeared with this newcomer, but she needed time to cement her suspicions.

”It’s a pleasure to meet you, Arwen. I’m the sour elf that Elthrael speaks of. You can call me Kenia.” She told the woman with a grin before adding, ”Just try to keep up because as I told the others, I stop for no one.” Even if she was a human and Kenia would do what she could to keep her with them until she knew her intentions, she was still adamant on not stopping. She didn’t doubt the girl could keep up, but if for some reason she couldn’t then Kenia would have to accept it and keep going. She had to make sure the others were safe.

Azriel had left Risa where she’d been directed and now she was heading back out into the woods. Truly she was curious on whether or not Helio was still around. If he was, would she even be able to find him? She figured she’d merely have to look out for some gruesome trail of destruction. With that thought she caught the scent of blood in the air and decided that was probably a good place to start. Silently she soared through the air, scanning the trees below her until she caught sight of three figures heading in the same direction as her. She flew in lower and silently perched herself in a tree as she watched the scene unfold in front of her.

Sure enough, there was Helio collecting...arms? Well that was rather intriguing for sure, but the dark and twisted side of her could understand it. Trophies were something she enjoyed as well. She listened to the conversation that ensued, soon realizing that these three were meant to be Helio’s handlers, but the one seemed a little frightened of the fairy. How pathetic. Though Azriel would bet that the fairy could easily dispose of all three of these miserable excuses of life.

Azriel couldn’t keep from rolling her eyes as Helio made quite a few terrible puns, though she’d be lying if she said there wasn’t a small part of her that found humor in it. She watched as the trio left and then she heard Helio call out to her. Of course he knew she was there the entire time. Silently she glided down to the ground near Helio. ”Good evening, Helio. Up to all sorts of mischief I see.” She gave him a smirk before moving over to one of the dark elf bodies and nudging it with her foot. ”Those dark elf handlers of yours are such a bore. You need more companions that appreciate art when they see it.” Her tone was playful as she watched him. There was a part of her that was curious if he knew what she’d done and she had a feeling she was soon going to find out.

Slowly it seemed like the group was dispersing on its own and it actually had Kenia a bit relieved. The only one that had stuck around that she didn’t trust was Zephyrin, but having one person she didn’t trust was better than four. For now she’d deal with it as the girl really just seemed more selfish than having ill intent, but Kenia wasn’t about to let her guard down there.

As morning turned into afternoon, Kenia showed no sign of slowing for lunch. She’d rather keep moving until the lost light and then they could stop for a meal. She was willing to skip out on food in order to get them closer to where they needed, but she also was taking the time to do what she could to lessen the chances of them being tracked. She’d considered briefly checking out the fire, in case it was Cora or Elsea, but she decided against it even though her heart ached to be reunited with Cora and Malachi. She needed to stick to the plan and hope that they ended up at the port as well.

A semi-familiar scent struck her nose and she sighed as she looked up to see Elthrael as he landed on a branch. ”What a pity indeed.” She said in response, not stopping from her path until she heard another approaching. Her hand had gone to one of her daggers as this scent wasn’t familiar. She watched as the girl emerged and slowly eyed her as she spoke. She appeared to have elven ears, but there was something in her stance that seemed...off. Perhaps to an untrained eye it wouldn’t appear so, but Kenia had trained to watch for subtleties like this. Then the girl spoke and Kenia had a feeling she knew what was going on here.

The girl was quite obviously young and she spoke of making some trades in the port town, but there was one problem, people in the profession of trading traveled with a lot more than she had. Kenia debated only for a moment on what to do, did she really want to be responsible for another tagalong? Well if this new one was a human then her answer would be absolutely, at least until she knew for sure where her loyalties lie. That information could be drawn out of her as they traveled. ”Well it so happens we’re heading in that general direction. If you’d like you can join us and we can make sure you make it to that port town safely? It’s definitely better to travel these woods with a group, especially if you’re not familiar with them.” She was curious to see if the girl could find some hidden meaning within her words and if she did that would tell Kenia quite a bit about her. For now she’d just wait and see her response.

They didn’t make it very far when some imp like creature bumped into Cade. Shortly after followed a red devil woman and...some kind of chicken? Elsea wasn’t entirely sure what the beast was, but either way she eyed the trio with alarm, especially as the woman unsheathed her sword. Cora reacted as expected, but Elsea knew they needed to not use their magic again unless absolutely necessary. ”It’s okay, we’re going to be alright.” She said softly to her friend as she reached out to Cora’s magic with her own, trying to calm it some. Earlier she’d felt some sort of connection between their magics, almost as if the magics were living things and were happy to be around each other. Almost as if they were sisters. Perhaps it was because they kind of were sisters, what with it being the same type of magic.

Elsea took a moment to glance back at Cade and the trio as he spoke. There was no hiding the fact that her and Cora were human, she only hoped this woman would be an ally. So she remained quiet as it seemed Cade had things under control, but Elsea remained incredibly cautious.

Torvi’s take down of the clone was far too easy for her liking. Battle should be much more of a challenge if you asked her. How it had disappeared, though, had her quite curious as to what was going on. Was all this merely an illusion? She glanced around at the other clones as her companions attacked them, but something else quickly caught her attention as Ayita sent a gust of air through the blue mist. She silently took note of the other humans' magic as her eyes locked on to Maneru. He seemingly had the pink haired fairy girl, but Torvi wasn’t too quick to believe it was real. If she were right on her theory of things being an illusion then this could also be an illusion. They needed to find out for sure, however, and she quickly tried to take note of where the two were as the blue mist closed once more.

Torvi closed her eyes for a moment and took a deep breath as she reached out with her magic. She could feel particles of earth all around them, especially within the water, and she began to call them to her. Once she had a sufficient amount under her control, she glanced back at the other human woman. “Ayita can you do that again with clearing the mist?” She asked the woman, but as she asked she sent her gathered earth heading towards the direction of Maneru, keeping it hidden underneath the water. She had confidence she remembered where the man and the fairy were, but she awaited visual on them again and that’s when she would strike. She’d send her earth to wrap around the man and then yank him swiftly back in the group's direction, thus bringing the fight to them.

Elsea hugged Cora back tightly, her heart aching for her friend as she’d seen tears streaming down her face. Whatever the girl had seen had been rough on her, that was quite evident. She was relieved the fire was completely out now, but knew there had been some damage done as she glanced at the injured deer. She would have to consult the gods later and ask for a speedy recovery to the forest.

Cora began asking questions quickly and Elsea had almost forgotten how she’d looked, but at the question if she were okay it was like it triggered the pain of the cut on her hand. ”Oh aye, I’m alright. I just had to make a blood offering to the gods to help me through my illusion.” How she said this was as if this was something normal to do, not even thinking twice about how it could be abnormal as she tore part of her dress and wrapped it around her injury. ”Cade is quite alright too. Come.” She said as she glanced back at the large cat man and began heading towards him, but not before she noted the sparks crackling around Cora’s wrists and the flames from her footsteps. What had truly happened to the girl? She’d have to ask her later about it.

Cade then asked her about Ayita and Elsea tried to give him a reassuring smile. ”I believe that was likely an illusion too. When you were calling for us to follow I didn’t see anyone there and so that leads me to believe that it was all part of the illusion the creature was feeding you. There is a chance that Ayita is fine and you will see her again at the port. Don’t lose hope, my friend.” She said as she gently patted him on the back before glancing at the campfire and making sure that was completely out. ”I believe we’re all ready to go, lead the way and we’ll follow.” She said as they began moving, motioning for Cora to go ahead of her. Elsea brought up the rear, but stuck close to the woman just to make sure she was going to be alright. She’d seemed really shaken and it was concerning to Elsea.

The conversation between Bowyn and Elthrael spoke enough volumes to the idea that he felt the same distrust of the fairy that Kenia was feeling. Bowyn voiced Kenia’s very concerns about not knowing where Elthrael’s intentions lied. Vaeril was ahead of them, voicing that he’d like to be left behind. Considering Kenia did not trust him much either, this was positive news. Darius seemed aligned with the drunken man, so she supposed he’d join him. She didn't even acknowledge the elven man any more than a wave to show she had no qualms leaving him behind. She decided remaining with the two fairies of grey intentions would be a waste of time.


Bowyn’s words of revenge against Aklenroth seemed to come out of sincerity and Kenia trusted him. She turned to him, whispering to him to suggest a plan and hoped he'd be okay going along with her. She knew others would likely be suspicious, but she truly didn't care. This group was a disaster and it was time to fix that.

Elsea had to keep her wits about her. Whoever was messing with them could easily turn them on each other and she surely didn't want that. It seemed like that's what he was trying to do too, as Cade appeared once more with that gleeful grin. She didn't attack, though, as she had to be sure it wasn't a trick. Before she could say anything, however, the gleeful grin vanished and she soon realized they were surrounded by fire. This wasn't her doing, she thought as she quickly looked at her small bit of flames and extinguished them. She then looked back at Cade as he spoke. Was this still an illusion or was this real? She debated for a moment on what to do, but then made a decision. "I believe you Cade." Was this the truth? Not entirely, no. As Umber had pointed out, Elsea didn't truly trust anyone, but until she knew whether or not this was an illusion she'd at very least go along with helping those she'd allied herself with and that required her believing her allies words for now. She'd keep alert, however, just to be safe.

She then turned back to the flames as Cade asked if it was in her powers to help get the fire under control. She saw Cora still fighting whatever demon she saw and sighed before reaching out with her power. She could feel the difference between Cora's flames, something she could not control, and the flames that had spread from the woman's magic and weren't being controlled by anyone. Those were the ones she reached out to and tried to get under control. They were like a bunch of toddlers running around, not wanting to take their naps. It took some focus and quite a bit of energy, but Elsea did eventually wrangle in the flames and put them out. "I've put out what I could take control of and I'm doing my best to keep them at bay, but we need to snap her out of this and get her to put out the rest of the flames." She said as she glanced back at Cade briefly, but then she began to move. She headed straight for Corvina, walking through her fire and tymrying to focus on keeping her clothes from burning. Some still got singed, but at least she still was clothed.

"Cora! You need to snap out of it! Something is playing with your mind, there's nothing there! You need to put your fire out otherwise you're going to burn down the whole forest and alert others to our location!" She slowly moved closer and closer to the girl until she was close enough to touch her. "Please Cora. Whatever it is can't hurt you anymore. I'm here with you and so is Cade, we'll help protect you." Her words were gentle and kind as she slowly reached out and touched Cora's shoulder, preparing for the worst.

As blackness enveloped her, Elsea couldn't stop the sudden sense of panic. Her heart pounded in her chest as she tried to work out what was happening. She tried to keep a brave face, however, and stand tall. As the townsfolk appeared she was shocked at first, but then stared back in defiance. She began shaking her head as Umber spoke, but she knew he was right. She didn't trust anyone, not fully at least. People were selfish, this she knew because she was selfish herself. She'd used people since she got here to Avalia. She had used Elthrael that first night in order to feel good about herself. She spun some sob story about how she owed him for saving her, but the truth was she didn't really care about that. She hadn't known if she was going to live to see the next day so she slept with him to take her mind off things.

She used Risa and Kyran too. It had seemed more likely that she would survive with them and so she joined them purely out of selfish desire to live. While a friendship had formed, yes, initially she hadn't planned for that. She merely wishes to use them in order to get herself somewhere safe.

She looked at Elthrael and then to Risa and Kyran as she listened to Umber continue. Rage continued to bubble in her, but was it because what he now spoke was also true? Why was she treated as worthless by others? Angry tears filled her eyes and it became a struggle to keep the flames under her skin at bay. She glanced to the elderly looking elf beside her now. She wanted to burn him, to burn them, to set everything ablaze. Before that could happen, however, the pitch black was gone and she stood one her pyre. Panic rose in her once again as she watched the elf toss a torch onto the pyre. She let out a horrified scream as she shut her eyes and shook her head. "No, no, no! This isn't real! It's not real!" She yelled, her eyes still shut tight. Why was this happening? Were the gods angry with her? She hadn't made a sacrifice to them since arriving to Avalia, she'd been too preoccupied. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please forgive me!" She muttered as she began to rock a bit. "This isn't real. It can't be real!" She began saying over and over again, but then suddenly something washed over her, a calmness. Whether it was the gods answering her or her mind was finally realizing the truth of things, she didn't know. Instead she slowly opened her eyes and looked to Umber, a horrifying smirk crossing her face now.

"Funny that you think I'd trust you to help me. You said it yourself, I don't trust anyone so why would you think I'd accept your help?" She asked him as she reached under her dress and grabbed a dagger she had hidden there before going to the ball. She looked at the dagger briefly before placing the blade on her palm and slicing it open. She began chanting a prayer in Gaelic as she let the blood drip to the ground, offering a blood sacrifice to her gods. She then dipped two fingers into the blood and began drawing symbols across her face as she continued to chant. Finally she looked to Umber once more. "Enough of these mind games. Next time why don't you actually face me. I'll prove my worth to everyone and I bloody don't need anyone's help doing it." She said as she walked through the flames before snapping her fingers and lighting the place Umber stood on fire.

After leaving the ball, Azriel had a lot of time to herself to think. She had no destination, no one to talk to, for the first time since she was a child she was all alone. As she flew over the trees of the forest, she first asked herself why she was so upset with Umber? Was it really just because she was jealous? That was definitely part of it, she decided. It was what started everything and her thinking. As she thought more on it, however, she began to realize there was much more to it. All her life, Umber had caused her to believe that the other races were the problem. They were the cruel ones who would never accept her. That they would treat her like a monster because she was broken, but then she danced with that winter fairy. He didn't treat her like she was any monster, in fact he even was kind to her. Darius also didn't treat her like a monster and he even knew more of her true nature. If the other races would truly hate her, then why did these two treat her with such kindness? Just how much did Umber warp her thinking?

Her thoughts then moved on to who she would have been if Umber never took her in and her parents never died. Her parents. Those were two people she hadn't thought of in a very long time. She was so little when they died, she couldn't even recall their faces. Or was that just something else Umber took from her? It took a lot of thinking, but what she could vaguely remember was a song her mother would sing to her. She'd felt a warmth at the memory and something else. A foreign emotion to her, but the emotion involuntarily made her tear up. Love? Is that what this emotion was? How could she not understand what love felt like? This was the question that brought her aimless flying to a halt and she had to land. She knew she was somewhere in the River Kingdom now, but where she was at wasn't clear. She sat herself against a tree as her mind wandered. Would her parents have been a part of the rebellion or would they have been loyal to Aklenroth? Was she truly loyal to Aklenroth or was that loyalty merely something that stemmed from her loyalty to Umber? There were so many questions whirling through her mind that the next day went by in a blur.

At some point she had fallen asleep, but now she was being awoken by the sound of voices. Azriel opened her eyes and glanced around, trying to get her bearings. It was quite obviously evening again and she still sat against a tree. Slowly she stood and made the decision to head towards the commotion, but kept completely silent and out of sight as she approached. She soon came upon the scene of a male fairy brutally beating a female fairy. Upon closer inspection she realized she recognized both fairies. The male was the first dark fairy that Aklenroth had created along with the help of Umber. Helio viciously beat the pink haired fairy whom Azriel recognized as the rebel leader. Risa looked to be in quite poor shape, but Azriel did nothing for now and let the scene play out. She wasn't entirely surprised when Helio left her alive, yet trapped within a grave. The man was cruel and twisted, Umber would be so proud. Perhaps it was this thought that caused Azriel to do what she did next.

She waited till Helio was long gone before moving to the grave and glancing down at the barely visible Risa. "It seems you're in quite the predicament, little princess...or should I say little queen?" She said as she flew down into the grave and began inspecting the vines. She pulled at a few, attempting to break them and soon realized she would need some assistance. She plucked a mithril covered feather from her wings and got to work cutting and pulling the vines away. It took some time, but she was finally able to free the lid of the casket. Her hands were bloodied and raw, but she ignored that as she pulled the lid off. "Now it won't do if you die here slowly tonight so how about you tell me where I need to take you so you can be healed?" Azriel asked the girl as she lifted her out of the casket.

The blue mist that stood before the group immediately put Torvi on high alert as her eyes scanned the mist. As she did this, however, she missed the feral look of Kuroi. She attempted to reach out with her earth magic, trying to feel the vibrations in the ground below them like she had before. She could sense the clones as they approached and possibly one other further into the mist, but the water made it hard to determine where this person was as it caused for a mix of vibrations.

She was pulled from her focus, however, as sharp pain shot up her arm and she gasped. She looked swiftly to the source and saw it was Kuroi. A rage filled her as the pain caused adrenaline to course through her body. At first her mind urged her to attack Kuroi, but she still had enough sense to know now wasn't the time. Instead she decided to harness this rage and put it to good use elsewhere. She turned her focus to the clones that approached, gaze finally landing on the Kuroi clone. If she couldn't punish the real Kuroi for harming her then this clone would do nicely in his place. A bloodthirsty grin crossed over Torvi's face as she now gripped the sword she'd taken from a guard earlier. Before anyone could stop her, she shoved past the real Kuroi and let out a battle cry as she went for the Kuroi clone. The ground began to rumble some as her magic responded to her emotions. The sword came crashing down towards the clone with barbaric strength and brutality, yet surprisingly quite a bit of skill.
