Tamers (Started/Accepting Via OOC)

[Jake the Sage]

Josh knelt down and helpped Deana to her feet, checking to make sure she hadn't hurt herself, and then looked around the cabin. It was a plain one by any standards. There was only a single bed and a table in the middle of the room, one window that was shut tightly by a curtain made of what looked like stringed together leaves. It was then Josh noticed something particularly odd about the place, "If the door opened from the inside . . . where's the person?"

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Jack and Bane had, before Delano and Kiki, found one of the behemoth bears that roamed around commonly throughout Orai; though their size made them ferocious and well known. Jack had grinned looking up at his 'prey' when the giant bear stood its full height of over twelve feet, easily drawfing both the boy and his hellhound. Giving a low bellow the bear raised it's arms to strike down Jack when Sir Irwin leapt out from the bushes behind him and sent the bear flying into a tree, "You can't just stop to introduce yourselves to these big guys . . . they don't talk much anyways!"

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

"Its not that I'm not satisfied with where I came from," the Lillith said taking a sip of her tea before placing it in her lap, "Its just every so often I have to . . . escape and get some alone time . . ."

 

Not finishing her tea Lillith stood up and gave a polite bow to Sven, Axel and Trago before taking the basket she had brought with her; leaving the food for Sven and company. With a smile on her face she excused herself stating 'I had a lovely time' and left.

 

"She was pretty," Axel said materializing beside Sven, his head resting on his elbows.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

The conversations quieted down after that, with a few attempts quickly being stopped by the howling wind and the atmosphere surrounding the group. It was as if the idea of never returning home had quieted Rift, Crystal and Evelyn; though Crystal had decided that if they had gotten here, there had to be a way back no matter how hard Rift had tried before her. Matsue and Yaming didn't exactly understand why the three had suddenly gotten so reclusive, but they could tell it was better to let it pass before everything returned back to normal.

 

Well it would have returned to normal slower if Eithal hadn't suddenly began shouting, "Man child! Big lizard! Rain waters coming our way! Big rain waters coming our way faster!"

 

"What is he talking about?!" Crystal asked forcing the tiny goblin to stop bouncing up and down. Iceis explained that Eithal had smelt rain up ahead and that it was apparently heading in their direction. No less than a second after she had finished the crackle of lightning in the distance could be heard. Yaming tied her hair into a ponytail and stood shakingly up on her feet, "Sounds like a big storm. I'll try to give us some cover until we can find a spot to land . . ."

[Ultimate Assassin Ninjew]

Sven was surprised by what she said, almost enough that he didn't realize she was getting up and leaving. He quickly got up as she bowed and he said, "Your welcome, anytime." He watched her leave and noticed Axel appear besides him. "Axel," Sven began, "What do you know about her?" He thought that by asking Axel, he could learn more about who she was. Trago flipped over looking confused by all the actions that just took place, though he was still happy he got to play with someone after being with Sven who didn't quite play around.

[encapturer]

"Thanks," Daena said to Josh as he helped her to her feet. She took a deep breath and looked around. Now that she was sheltered inside, there was no reason to rush herself, even though she could hear the storm grow in intensity. For now, she decided to look around for whoever opened the door.

 

The room was not that big, so Daena immediately went for the first thing she spotted, a table in the center of the room. There were two chairs, but the table itself was bare. Josh soon spoke about the very thing she worried about; the person who opened the door. Daena gasped. Do they think we are criminals? Thieves?! Daena shook her head, she didn't want to believe it, but the fact remained, whoever opened the door was not showing themselves.

 

Irenia, meanwhile, was flying all around the house on her own, looking for a way for Ave to get inside. Fortunately she found something akin to a barnhouse door along the left side of the house. It was a large area; was this building a part of a converted barnhouse? "I think you should let your bird in," Irenia called out, motioning Josh towards the large doors held shut by the wooden bar.

 

"Is anyone here?" Daena called out as she entered deeper into the house. She still saw no one, but she was determined to find the one who helped her. "We just want to say thanks..."

[DeathSDelano]

Delano and Kikiania noticed the flying bear and charged straight at it "Now you Die" Delano said Jumping off Kikiania at the beast with his shield infront as he used the momentum smashing into the bears head with his shield. When Delano landed he quickly give a full power thrust at the beast while used her 3 heads to clap down on the bear's shoulders and neck to prevent it from swing its foreclaws at Delano "Kikiania Rip he bear to pieces" Delano ordered

[Jake the Sage]

"Ave is not just some bird," Josh said with a bit of irritation in his voice even if he never meant it. Walking towards the door he hadn't noticed Deana heading up the stairs and out of sight.

 

Now alone in the house with strangers that hadn't shown themselves Deana could feel a chill in the air caused by the storm outside, the wind howling through the trees as every other stepped creaked underfoot. A sudden patter of feet behind her made Deana jump in place and whirl around, only to find that there was no one there. Was she just imagining things? Or had they stumbled on someone, or something, that wanted to be left alone?

 

"Hey Deana! You up there!?" Josh called from downstairs as a door down the hall from Deana swung open only to have it shut and the one closer to her open and repeat the same guesture. And all that time the doors were opening and closing, she hadn't seen a soul.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

"I dunno," Axel said floating out of the table and landing on it with his feet crossed, "I've never seen her before."

 

Well Axel might not have noticed her even if he had known who she was. The problem with being dead, or on some scale having been dead, is that Axel couldn't remember everyone he had met during his life and only remembered very few things about it. But the woman had left an impression on the ghost boy . . . he did note how pretty she was.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

The lance bent and shattered against the giant bears side as Kiki attempted to wrestle it to the ground. But the bear was so enormous and powerful it merely lifted her up and tossed her aside, causing the best to land at Delano's feet. Standing back up the bear bared its massive fangs while blood dripped where it had been stabbed.

[DeathSDelano]

Delano grinned at the excitement as he quickly picked up two pieces of his shattered lance than threw them at the beast's wound. Delano ran at the beast. Delano ran around a tree than quickly jumped on to the low branch placing some of the cloth from his shirt that he torn on into his ears. Meanwhile Kikiania got back up and unleashed a screeching roar that was near deafing. During that moment Delano jumped onto the Bear and held onto its fur as he climbed up its back to its head. "Kikiania get him now" Delano said as Kikiania stopped her roaring to bite the beast.

[encapturer]

*Now* Daena was starting to get nervous. Are they just trying to mess with me? Daena thought to herself as the door behind her shut on its own. She now stood in what she figured to be a second-floor hallway. There's... alot of doors. Shrugging, she just opened the closest door to her.

 

"Aha!" Daena exclaimed as she quickly pushed the door open. As expected, though... no one was in the room. There were things in the room, sure. A few empty wooden boxes for one, and a pile of... *something*... on the other side of the room. She had no idea what it was, because it was all covered by a large gray sheet. Although curious, she could not bring herself to rifle through other people's belongings, even if they were being extremely aloof, at *best*. Daena took a deep breath, and reminded herself that whoever is here just gave them shelter, and they're probably just fearful. And like running around me and messing with the doors. Maybe kids? Daena shook her head; she really had no idea *who* was here.

 

"Are you hiding in here?" Daena called out this time with a playful tone. Who knows, maybe the person would respond to something like that.

 

***

 

"Daena?!" Irenia started to fly in circles around Josh, looking for her partner. Daena then flew up the stairs, only to be greeted with a closed door. She flew back down and circled around the entry room where Josh was standing. "Do you think... she's up there... alone?!"

[The D.M.]

Jack ran up at the beast with Bane taking its flank. Jack saw that Kikiana was keeping the beast busy and Jack wasted no time in swinging his axe hard against the bears belly. "You've got guts bear! Now let's SEE EM!!" He shouted right before the blade made contact. Bane on the other hand with a generous amount of sulfur acit jumped at the bear and bit into his ribs. The way Bane had it figured if his teeth didnt penetrate the acid would.

[Andx]

Eithal seemed to be reacting to some sort of storm that would be coming in. No doubt it would be unwise to continue flying in through it. Yaming claimed she could give them a bit of cover while they attempted to land.

"We just can't seem to get away from getting wet recently." Evelyn thought to herself. More importantly, what Yaming planned to do for cover was what intrigued her. Knowing Yaming, Evelyn figured it was some sort of amazing spell or something of that nature. If Yaming had been able to heal herself almost to perfect condition then Evelyn doubted she would have trouble blocking some rain from falling on them for a bit. Evelyn then wondered what it was she could really do in the situation. Rift would no doubt be the one looking for a spot to land, and it's not like Iceis would land if anyone other than Rift told her to do so. So looking didn't seem to get Evelyn anywhere and she somehow doubted she'd be able to help with whatever Yaming had up her sleeve.

"Being momentarily useless is a really weird feeling." Evelyn thought.

"You get used to it after enough times." Flamme answered.

[Jake the Sage]

As Jack's axe sliced into the giant bear's stomach the massive beasts seemed to have enough conciousness to throw Delano ontop of him. As the bear raised back up Bane sunk it's acidic teeth into it's side, causing the beast to howl in pain before seemingly slapping the hellhound away. The beast stood back up on it's full ten feet and began to snarl, the area which Jack's axe had made contact being nothing more than a normal cut; nothing fatal.

 

"Look at them Master . . . they can't even take out a Nomanian Bear! They just keep blindly running at it with their weapons," Seline said watching from a distance as the bear roared with Sir Irwin. He nodded his head, they were going about it all wrong. Nomanian Bears were known for being tough and stubborn to die, some say they'd continue to fight even after their hearts had given out, "I'll agree with that. Think I should go lend a hand?"

 

"Would it be so wrong to sit here and watch them get killed?" she answered in a playful tone, though she never did wish any harm on them, and Sir Irwin shook his head before getting up, "I'll be right back . . ."

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

"I'm not hiding!" someone's voice called out from within the room. Whoever it was sounded young and was distinctively male by the tone and attitude the voice had. A few seconds after the boy's voice called out Deana could hear another persons voice, this one a young girl, "Be quite you idiot! *ahem* We ARE ghost who haunt this place! Leave NOW or-"

 

"She won't fall for that Susie! This'll scare her, watch!" the boy's voice called out and made the room go quite. At least Deana knew she had to be dealing with two children, she could easily tell by the way they sounded and seemed to 'act', and waited to see what they'd do. Suddenly the closet door beside her swung open- no one was inside. At least that was what she first thought. When the lightning stuck she could see two distinct yellow eyes glowing within the closet coupled with a low hissing. Once the lightning's illumination faded the eyes did too, but whatever had been inside the cloest lashed out at her with it's expendages, wrapping around Deana's waist and covering her mouth so she couldn't call for help.

 

While the creature in the closet attempted to drag Deana inside, Josh and Irenia had been seperated from her and were still downstairs. Looking around Josh opened the cuboards, nothing but a few cans of beans and carrots, and looked in the ice box; again not much to go off of. When he heard Irenia calling for Deana he didn't think of it too much, but realized quickly that Irenia was always with her partner. Turning around he heard the tiny fairy, ""Do you think... she's up there... alone?!"

 

A sudden flash of lightning from outside caused the fairy to shudder and give a small cry and flutter over to Josh, who let the fiary hide in the palm of his hand. Looking around he heard what sounded like a door creaking open upstairs and nodded his head, "She's just probably having a look around. Lets go keep her company, shall we?"

 

Smiling he carried Irenia from the kitchen to the bottom of the stairway and began to climb it. About half way he heard a sudden thud and his eyes grew wide, it had sounded like something heavy falling to the ground, "Deana? Deana!?"

 

When no answer came Josh's eyes grew narrow and he began to climb the stairs as fast he could, Irenia flying quickly behind him, "Lets go Irenia!"

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

As the rain began to pelt the group Yaming began to wave her hands around in a circle, starting out small and growing bigger with each rotation, and Evelyn could see a small film appearing over them. No sooner had she finished making that film as big as it would get did the rain really start pouring. It had been as if they were in a peaceful meadow and were suddenly tossed into a torrent in the middle of the ocean. The wind whipped around so violently that Iceis had to use her tail to hold down the bundles of supplies; though without using her tail the dragon began to lean left and right as if she had become a ship sailing the sky. Eithal held onto Matsue tightly, or was it the other way around, as Yaming's spell kept the worst of the rain from getting to them; though their clothing was still quickly becoming drenched. The lightning flashed around them as Crystal jumped in her place and held onto Evelyn and Flamme, "I didn't think it'd be this bad! What kind of storm is this!?"

 

"I have one thing to say! Welcome to Nomen!" Rift said laughing from his spot at Iceis' head, guiding her through the torrent or rain and wind as best he could, and his voice had nearly been drowned out. His clothing was already as soaked as if he had been thrown into the lake all over again and he would lift occassionaly into the air from the massive gale force winds. Truly he had to be brave or know what he was doing to be standing ontop of a rocking dragon in the middle of a thunder storm such as this one, all the while looking for a place to land and laughing about it. Matsue's head darted to the right and she pointed towards something, "Rift! Down there!!!"

 

Looking to their right everyone could see a small house in the middle of the storm, it's windows were dark and it appeared to have been abandoned. Nodding his head Rift tapped Iceis on her head and pointed towards their temporary living quarters when a violent gale kicked up from underneath them; lightning flashing around them.

[encapturer]

"Yes!" Irenia replied, flying upstairs. The door leading to the second floor hallway would not stop Irenia; an application of Wind Shear tore the wooden door to pieces and cleared the path. Of course, what greeted the two was the hallway of doors Daena stood in just moments ago. Irenia glanced around, using Wind Shear repeatedly would only waste her energy; at least that what she imagined Daena would say. She really wanted to tear the whole house down to search for Daena, but that would expose everyone to the elements.... which would not be good.

 

"Hey!" Irenia called out to Josh. "Which door? Which door is it?!"

[Jake the Sage]

Josh looked at all of the doors and gritted his teeth. How did he know he'd pick the right door? There as at least eight of them and where ever Deana was she might not have enough time. "Wait a mintue! Why am I thinking Deana is in trouble?" he thought to himself as his eyes glanced frantically from door to door. He had no proof that Deana was in trouble, for all he knew that thud noise might've been made from a large vase that Deana had dropped or any number of other things. Why should she had gotten herself into trouble? Yet there was this feeling deep in the back of his mind, that caused his spine to shiver as if he was running out of time.

 

"Leave this place!" a voice called out from down the hallway and once it stopped it felt as if something had shoved Josh from behind him. But that was impossible. He had been standing at the head of the stairs and no one had been behind him. Getting to his knees Josh glared at the hallway, "Irenia use your Wind Shear . . ."

[encapturer]

Irenia hesitated, but did as she was told. Josh was a mage, after all, and he may know what it is they are dealing with. Three more green strands of light gathtered to her finger as she pointed it down the hallway. The light strands all flew down the hallway, followed up by three blades of wind. Irenia held her focus for longer than she usually does when using Wind Shear, to force the magically conjured winds to dissipate before hitting the end of the hallway and welcoming the storm in.

[Jake the Sage]

With Irenia's Wind Shear breaking each door off it's hinges Josh listened closely to the surrounding area. At one moment during the attack he could hear the sound of someone screaming in suprise and nodded his head, "Irenia! Deana is in there!"

 

Josh pointed to the second doorway in the hallway and didn't wait for the fairy to say anything, assuming she would, and began to head towards it. Bursting into the room Josh and Ienia could see Deana on the ground, face first, and had something tangled around her arms and throat; though it was not moving. Crouching down he quickly snapped whatever it was off of her neck and helpped he up, "Are you alright?"

 

Josh was so concerned with Deana that he hadn't noticed that the door which Irenia had blown off it's hinges had landed on something and possibly knocked it out. Whatever it was was begining to groan and moan as the stuff which had grabbed Deana began to slither back underneath the door. The creature then, in a low tone, muttered, "That hurt . . ."

[encapturer]

"Josh... I'm... okay..." Daena said. Truthfully, though, she was starting to feel the wear her body has been subjected to all day. Of course, she couldn't let Josh and Irenia know that, since there was something... *someone* more important in the room.

 

Before she could say anything, however, that person made himself know, complaining that he was in pain. Nodding to Josh, then Irenia, she picked herself off the ground and approached the fallen door frame. "Hold on, we'll get this off, " she said, motioning Josh to come over and help lift the frame upward. Irenia, meanwhile, positioned herself above the door, in case whatever was under it turned violent.

[Jake the Sage]

"Just don't try any~thing funny!" Josh grunted as he helped lift the door off of the person whom had been trying to get at Deana. To both of their suprise the door was heavier than it first looked, but being red oak they should've known it was going to be heavy. Now with the door lifted completely off of the person Josh and Deana gave one last heave to shove the door aside. Once it was moved they both turned to see that the person was, not a man, but a young woman who appeared to be in her early twenties and had long blond hair that went to the small of her back; which is what had been showing out from under the door. The looked up at both of them with 'innocent' blue eyes when the sound of footsteps echoed through the hall, followed by the voice of same boy Deana had heard ealier, "Don't you harm her!"

 

"Wha!?" was all Josh had managed to get out before he was tackled by what looked like a kindergarden student, a butter knife cutting his left cheek, and the kid leapt off him and landed in front of the woman. Though he only stood about three feet seven inches and was covered in dirt he held the butter knife as if it was an actual dagger, keeping it close to himself and never taking his eyes off of Josh or Deana. And what eyes he had! They were a vibrant deep blue as he scowled, as menacingly as a kid his age could.

[encapturer]

Irenia flew down in front of Daena, who now, along with Josh, stood together, opposed by a boy with a knife in his hand, and a woman that Daena and Josh freed from the door. Daena kept her hands at her sides but braced her legs, in case things turned ugly. Well, they seem to care about each other, at least, Daena thought. "Hey, we aren't going to-" Daena was going to say 'hurt you' next, before she was cut off.

 

"You're going to fight us, with *that*?!" It was Irenia speaking, surprised that someone was willing to fight with a butter knife of all things. Daena was shocked; Irenia rarely talks around strangers, even if she does think her opponent is a joke. The green strands of light around Irenia began to gather at her finger, signaling her preparing to cast. "For what you did, I'm going to-"

 

"Irenia!" It was Daena who cut in this time. She wondered what got into her partner, but now she had to stop the situation from escalating. "What are you doing?!"

 

"They hurt you!" Irenia replied, still facing the boy and woman, with her eyes welling up. "I'm going to make them pay!"

 

"If you fight them you'll probably blow the whole house apart," Daena replied, sighing. Her words seem to have gotten through to Irenia, as most of her stocked magic went back to circling around the fairy. "Besides," Daena continued, "These people gave us shelter in the first place, Right?" She looked at the boy and the woman on the other side of the room now. While Irenia still looked furious, Daena's countenance softened considerably, if for no other reason than the fact that she desperately wants to believe that these are good people and they wouldn't have to fight (and destroy the only thing protecting them from the raging storm).

[Jake the Sage]

The boy's eyes had lit up when Irenia asked if he was really going to fight with a butter knife of all things. Sure he had other weapons but when his friend had been discovered he grabbed the closest thing to him; which just happened to be a butter knife of all things. He slowly raised it to his hands and was ready to pounce at teh small fairy, knowing that he'd be able to duck and weave in between the two grown ups with ease, and crouched to get ready as the fairy began speaking again, "Go ahead and tr-"

 

Whoever the coupeling of the fiary's tamer and his friend's hair, which seemed to suddenly animate on it's own, stopped him as he was pulled back; Josh almost had jumped back the moment the woman's hair moved. As Deana and Irenia argued amongst each other the boy and the woman did the exact same thing as he tried to pull his hand free of the hair which had wrapped around his arm. Though Deana had amanged to quite Irenia, however slightly, the two strangers were continuing to argue with each other. Josh began to find it a bit amusing, seeing the difference in age it looked as if the two were mother an child, and he took a step forward, "Look we just came in to get out of the storm. We didn't and never meant to hurt anyon-"

 

"Don't you hurt my little brother you big meanie!" a girl yelled out as she tackled Josh to the floor and began to jump on him, Josh hitting his head on the ground, and both Deana and Irenia were momentarily stunned at this. The girl continued to jump on Josh's back as he tried to explain that they meant no harm, but she was so focused on helping her younger brother that she didn't even hear him.

 

"Oh my my my," yet another person said and a tall man excused himself as he brushed past Deana and lifted the girl off of Josh before placing her beside the boy; who had finally stopped fighting with the woman and now looked as if he was pouting. The man then turned and apologized, "I hope you can forgive those two. You see . . . it's been hard for us for a while. We're not used to . . . . normal house guests."

 

"Oh . . . ok . . . that's nice . . ." Josh murmured as he laid down on the ground, tiny footprints covering his back.

[encapturer]

Irenia held her position for a few moments, which felt like an eternity. Finally, she completely dispelled her charged magic; the strands of light dissipating into the air. Worn out from the previous events, she floated over to Daena's familiar shoulder and rested herself there.

 

Daena herself was a little jealous of Irenia... and Josh as well, even though he was just tackled and beat down by a young girl. She wanted to rest as well, but well, something was obviously *off* about these people, as if the prehensile hair and strange glowing eyes did not give it away. She didn't want to sit down as well, just to find out that the man's friendliness was just a ruse, and he was as capable of flying off the handle as the children.

 

"That... is fine. We're mostly unharmed," Daena said, letting off a light chuckle. "Though as glad as I am that you let us in from the storm... why didn't you meet us at the door?" She would have probably been better off by waiting until later to ask that, her curiosity *must* be satisfied.

[Jake the Sage]

The man gave a sigh and ran his hands through his black hair, "I know you're not going to like this . . . but it's better to tell the truth now than you find out later. We were . . . planning . . . on stealing all of your things and then escaping."

 

"What?" Josh yelled as he jumped to his feet and lifted the man off his feet, not that Josh suddenly got strong, instead it was that the man had been suprisingly light for being so tall. Josh held him there for a minute before the woman's hair wrapped around his wrists and slowly made him put the guy down. Looking over Josh scowled at her, but softned his disposition when he saw how sad she appeared to be, and listened to her speak, "We're sorry its just . . . we're lost and ran out of food a long time ago . . ."

 

"We weren't going to hurt you!"

 

"We just wanted to scare you so you'd run off without your things," the girl, followed by the boy, said as they ran to the woman. It was as if the entire attitude of being tough was nothing more than an act and this was what they were really like; they were even shaking they were so scared. Josh finally released the man and walked over to Deana as he looked back at the strange group; a man, woman, and what appeared to be two twins.

[encapturer]

Daena raised an eyebrow as Josh seemed to effortlessly lift the man with his hand. Adrenaline be damned, he's not that much stronger than me! Daena thought to herself. It may be true that they were planning to steal our things, but something else is still bothers me. Irenia, in contrast was more surprised that they were planning to steal their stuff, and was almost tempted to blast them away for that alone.

 

"Look," Daena said, now adopting a more relaxed stance. They really did look as helpless as they claimed. "We don't have much food, though you're welcome to have what little I have." It really wasn't much; it was just some leftovers from when they ate with Adrian's family. Regardless of how small it was, Irenia glared at Daena like she was insane. Obviously, Daena ignored her and continued speaking. "Of course, you really should probably find your way to civilization, your plan of yours won't really get you food that often... it was pure luck that we even stumbled upon this place! Maybe a job, even begging would be better... Of course..." Daena trailed off, realizing she was about to go off topic again. "Anyway, you'll probably want to move once this storm passes by."

[Jake the Sage]

"Y-You misunderstand us ma'am," the gentleman said as he slumped to the ground, "We have no idea where we are at all."

 

'We're not from around here," the lady said as the two twins tried not to cry. It seemed as if they were more lost than Josh and Deana were. "Maybe . . . . maybe Deana wouldn't mind if they came along with us?" Josh thought as he looked at the group. After all it hadn't been too long ago that they were in the sam perdicament, no food, no idea where they were, and no idea in which direction would get them to civilization. Concerned Josh glanced at Deana and then back at the gentleman, "Well you're in Nomen and-"

 

"You just don't get it!" the girl yelled as she hide her face between her hands, hiccupping as the woman held her in her arms, "We don't know what a Nomen is! We're not from this world . . ."

 

The lightning struck and the windows rattled as Josh's eyes, and probably Deana's, grew wide when they heard this. Not from this world!? Josh could hardly believe he had heard that and, if he had, then they were looking at two people from Earth just like him; the woman and man couldn't possibly be human, one with animated hair and the guy gave of an otherworldly presence. Glancing back at Deana Josh had no idea how to continue.

[encapturer]

"Would you believe me if I said we aren't of this world either?" Daena said, joining everyone else sitting on the ground. She took a small pouch from her belt, which hung next to her housing unit, filled with some of the leftover meat from yesterday's meal. "Eat this," Daena said, handing the other group the pouch. "And when you're done, could you tell us how you got to this world? Maybe together we can figure out what was going on."

 

Daena still had her suspicions about the true nature of the other group. Not about their nature, but about what they *were*; whether or not they were human, or something far removed. The food was to help them get back their energy, yes, but it was also to test a hypothesis she had. She had a million ideas about who these four were running through her head, and hoped her test would eliminate even half of them.

[DeathSDelano]

Delano smirked "This thing needs to learn how to die. However i enjoy a challenge" Delano than looked at Jack and Bane thinking of something "Hey Jack. Bane's fangs are acidic right. So lets try using your acidic bite and my many heads to our advantage" giving a nodd to Kikiania "Kikiania let your voice ring to the heavens" Delano shouted outloud Kikiania inhaled a large amount of air than released a loud screech at the bear aiming to stun it with loudest of the sound. "Jack if this works than bane should be about to get in multiple bites but aim for its legs. If it can't stand it can't fight" Delano said while Kikiania's voice roared

[The D.M.]

Jack put his hand to the blade of his axe and sighed. "I didnt think i would be pushed this much by a damn beast...Kisarigi...CLIMHAZZARD!!" Jack said slicing his palm open on his axe sent him into a bloodlust. He tossed his axe into the air and jumped after it over the bear's shoulder. He caught his axe in midair directly over the beast's collarbone. He then began to drop. Using gravity, his own strength and a touch of sheer adrenaline to swing down on the space where the beast's arm met the rest of its body. "LET'S SEE YOU FIGHT AFTER I SLICE YOUR DAMNED ARM OFF!!!" Bane shook off the blow that the bear dealt him and lunged with Delano's order Bane saw not just the bear's leg but the sinew of his muscle. He lunged directly for the bear's tendons Jack came at the bear from above and Bane going for its leg.
