Mar's eyes shot to Gwen, "I will accompany her." Drawing his great blade, he walked over to Gwen. "Where ever about it may be."

Zul'saka, before getting down from the tree, he caught a small glint of light from the corner of his eyes. He looked to where it originated from. He focused tightly and was able to (barely) see a body of a man in the bushes.

Zul'saka drew out Head-splitter and with a great leap he let out an invigorating shout in his trollish dialect. He landed on the ground and dashed towards the hidden man.

"Who be spyin' on us?!" He cried.

Obviously the short commotion Zul'saka made alerted the hiding man and his comrades in the area.....

Mar's ears twitched at the commotion from the woods, "It seems Zul'saka might be after something in the woods." Becoming annoyed with the lack of action Mar linked his mind with Zul'saka, Want to share some of the fun, friend?

Want to share some of the fun, friend?

The voice of mar passed through his mind. This broke his charge.

"huh?! Mar?...agh! Foget-it. Da spy be here, in front o' me" He replied. "When you hear da screamin' dat means you'll be close"

"This be like da time I hunted me' first jaguar" Zul'saka said to himself

Wait ,what?. It seemed Mar was still linked to his mind...

Huh? You still be in ma' head? Git outta dere!

by **Ketsueki Tenshu** on Sat Feb 02, 2008 8:19 pm

Mar smiled, Very well than. Bowing to his party, he opens his wings wide. "I will be back momentarily." With that he lifted into the sky, circling the spot Zal'saka was standing.

by **Gwen** on Sat Feb 02, 2008 11:54 pm

Gwen looked at Mar, pleased to be joined by the dragoon.
"Apparently we're looking for something that resembles a "special" carriage," she said to the others. Gwen laughed. The thought of riding in a carriage was rather humorous. She tried to imagine the whole group fitting into it. She preferred to stay outside with Renmith.
She glanced up at the skies where Mar had flown and once again wondered about his past.

Gwen had gone, accompanied by Mar, Zul'saka, and, of course, Renmith. This left Jade with Wolf and Lars. And Xuphratacus. But he was silent and, in Jade's opinion, rather dull. He also lacked the odd glitter that seemed to accompany the Gods' heroes....a silent watcher, nothing more.
"Very well. Let's see about this carriage." She started off in a direction different enough from Gwen's that it seemed likely they would find something of interest. A good deal of walking, many leaves kicked over and trees woven around, and it appeared that they were going to find nothing but more forest. Just as Jade was preparing to kick something and turn around, however, her eyes caught a faint glimmer. Almost unnoticeable, but it was a glimmer, and her deep love for all things of a shiny nature had taught her never to under appreciate even the tiniest of glimmers. Without a word to her companions, she took several wide strides forward, pushing away limbs of trees and bits of moss until there, in a small, humble clearing, stood a carriage. And quite the carriage it was. Made of what appeared to be fine gold, glimmering in the dim light, with tall, sturdy wheels. Every bit and piece was lovingly crafted into an almost fragile looking device, looking quite small from the outside. But looking through the small windows, one could clearly see that there was plenty of room for passengers to be seated inside. The cushions appeared soft and inviting, just the thing for a long journey. Resting inside was a small silvery box, likely full of more helpful gifts from the Siblings. The driver's seat had room for two, and fine golden reigns that almost seemed to glow.
At the helm of the carriage were four remarkable beasts, horses that appeared to be made of nothing but youthful, ready muscle, with manes that nearly shone in the dark and bright, eager eyes. The creatures made no move or sound, simply watching the small group that had finally found them. On each beast's reign was a small symbol...
On one, a raven, clutching a broken stick. Hotay's mark. On the second, a fiery phoenix, resting on an egg. Relna's mark. The third sported a dove, with an olive branch in its beak. Myra. The fourth featured a hawk, carrying and ax in its claws. Zaeken.
Jade strode forward, against her better judgement, and pressed a hand almost reverently to the side of the fine vehicle. It was smooth, sturdy. A grin lit upon her face. She made her way over to inspect the horses...and to her great surprise, they did not startle in her presence as horses generally did. The diluted dragon in her simply never seemed to agree with the animals. But these were calm, and even pressed their noses out for her to touch.
Of course, to any whose eyes had not been opened by the Gods, the carriage would have looked far less than impressive. Pulled by four bony nags, with sunken eyes and badly unkempt mans. A thing of splintery and rotting wood, miraculously held together by rusty nails and frayed ropes.
With a slight chuckle, the cloaked woman tossed her belongings under the carriage into the baggage hold, and clambered up into the driver's seat. "Let's go find the others."
And with a flick of the reigns, the God-given cart rumbled off towards the other half of the group.

Mar kept his eyes in the woods, but his mind wondered to Gwen. Doing the same as he did with Zal'saka, he spoke to her, What is on your mind young one?

by **Gwen** on Sun Feb 03, 2008 10:59 am

If Gwen's brain could jump, it would have broken through her skull and gone thirty feet in the air. The sudden prod of her mind from Mar startled her. She spoke to Renmith telepathically but she wasn't used to communicating to anyone else in that manner.
She glanced at Mar, who was waiting for her response.
Well, she said, First off, I'm wondering about this transport we're supposed to find.
Did he just call me young? Gwen thought to herself. She smiled at the thought. Little did Mar know, she was far superior to him when it came to age in years. The rebirth cycle was a part of the price for being a halfling Blue Phoenix. Because of it, Gwen had lived many lives under many different names. Gwen pulled back out of her thoughts, and went back to speaking with Mar.
Also, I've been wondering about you. I've always been a curious person. What's your story?

by **Ketsueki Tenshu** on Sun Feb 03, 2008 11:08 am

Mar let out a low hiss, It is a long story, but I'm sure your feathered self.... His eyes sought Gwen in the distance, letting his words take effect, will have plenty of time to listen to it on our journey. As for the transportation....something about a wagon of some sorts.

by **Gwen** on Sun Feb 03, 2008 11:19 am

Gwen froze. How did Mar know? The she remembered. ...Child of the feather...

Mar. You know what I am?
She hung her head, avoiding his eyes.
Please, don't reveal it to anyone else.

Renmith, who had been listening in on the whole conversation spoke to Gwen only, If he does, I will kill him.

by **Ketsueki Tenshu** on Sun Feb 03, 2008 11:28 am

Mar smiled, his fangs bared, Perhaps I do, perhaps I don't. Worry not though, I will not reveal it to anyone. Though you need to keep better track of them, Lars stumbled upon a feather at the inn.

by **Gwen** on Sun Feb 03, 2008 11:38 am

Worry creased her forehead. Gwen tried to keep track of the feathers that fell from her, but she was bound to miss one. Renmith had taught her how to enter and leave an area without a trace, but it became increasingly difficult when it came time for her to change form. The shedding feathers had caused her a lot of trouble.

It's going to happen soon, Mar. Renmith has been able to postpone it for a few more days, but I will have to change eventually. Gwen trembled at the thought if the searing pain in her shoulder blades again. After a thousand years, it was still a hard process to bear. Mar, may I ask you a favor? She paused for a moment. If you happen to find anymore feathers on our journey, would you mind picking them up and burning them? The less the others know, the better.

by **Jadeling Hawkins** on Sun Feb 03, 2008 11:51 am

Looking to the skies, Jade saw what appeared to be a great circling bird. She recognized it as a dragoon in flight. Adjusting the carriage's direction a bit, she gave the reigns another light flick, heading in the direction that the dragoon (either Tien or Mar, she couldn't quite tell) was gliding over. In a matter of moments, she could see her young student and the troll. Tugging the carriage to a halt, she placed her fingers to her mouth and whistled.
"Oi! In ye get, lazy bones!"

by **Fade** on Sun Feb 03, 2008 11:58 am

Fade's ears perked to the sound of others drawing closer, a light sleeper the result of a previous life. Closer and closer until he knew they had stumbled upon him. He listened intently to their every motion, to their every move. He was drawing with that a clear vision in his mind of where each was positioned within the vicinity, eyes remaining clothes to present the look of ever present slumber. The reason maintained for the false slumber? To take in the different scents, pinning each scent to a position. He was memorizing the scents so that should they come within his range again, he could know how to respond in kind.

He lay silently, waiting for an opportune time to make his escape. The gentle breeze of the forest hung over the night, mixing in with the gentle hoot of owls and other creatures of the eve. One taking to flight, a carriage drawing closer from the distance seamed to only further provoke a roaring of more sounds to those with inept ears. Attentions all drawn to different things from the halt of movement, of action he sprung up from his position with only a slight rustle of the bushes.

His pack was slung over his shoulder in the midsts of it all, his left gripping tightly the quivers end along with the bow. His body landed lithely and silently on a branch above, his toes the only skin touching as he gave a quick glance over everybody to now pin faces to the scents. A devious smirk crossed his cupid bow lips, the night in the forest would be practically black. He sprung forth from the tree branch, clearing across the troll above head silently before jumping into the shadows of the tree and the night.

His legs moved feverishly, the slender well toned form providing a constant quiet sprint as he ran deeper and deeper into the forest, where travel would become more and more dangerous. He knew some might be intent on following him, the one flying above in the air would prove a trouble if he could relay Fade's position back towards the others. So Fade kept himself beneath the shade and shadows of the trees, springing back and forth a hundred yards each way to gently brush his skin and scent across every tree that he passed.

He smirked in the wildness of the run, spending those few moments to take into account of everything. The sounds of the night, the limited vision from above as well as below the trees. They were but a few aspects to throw into the midsts of the moment. The true stroke of Fade's genius was by pinning his scent in every which direction across the trees. The dog Renmith could have tracked him easily. But by masking his scent across trees over a hundred yards back and forth, if they followed the wrong path by even an inch, it would lead to them being off course of his trail by miles and miles.

by **Ketsueki Tenshu** on Sun Feb 03, 2008 12:02 pm

I will, phoenix kin. Mar dropped from the sky, landing heavily next to the carriage. "Our journey begins."

by **GreyFox** on Sun Feb 03, 2008 2:14 pm

Zul'saka heard the sound of horse neighs and galloping. He turned to see where it was coming from, but turned his attention to his current target...where ever it was now. He stopped his charge and sheathed Head-splitter; this one was impossible to track, for him anyways.

He quickly remembered the first time he hunted his first jaguar in the jungles of South Lellen and his mentor. This was almost like it...

You see, Zul'saka. Da ghost Jaguar be da top predatoh o' da jungle. When you be huntin' it, it be hunting you. When you see him, he be seein' you. If you try to escape him, you be as good as dead. Try to fight him..and you be as good as dead. You get what I'm sayin', mon?

"Hm, Whatevah you are, I be waitin' Zul'saka turned back to where the galloping was coming from....

by **Feleon** on Mon Feb 04, 2008 8:59 am

Xuphratacus started for the carriage, only to be stopped in its tracks by an unknown force. It turned it's head to find the beginnings of a black orb, swirling and twisting into nothingness.

It is not my time, fowl chaos!

Xuphratacus went wide-eyed as the orb began to pull it in, sucking the creature back into the Void. Within the minute, Xuphratacus was gone.

---------

Wolf watched the incident as the robed thing was drawn into the black. He was then wisped away, not by his will, from the party. Landing on a small island in what appeared to be in the middle of nowhere. Wolf first whipped around, wondering what had happened.

"What the hell? How did I get here?"

He then started to contemplate on what needed to be done.

"Okay, small island on the open sea in the middle of nowhere. How to get back?"

After several more minutes, he found a quick and simple solution.

"Okay, let's start swimming in the most plausible direction!"

by **Jadeling Hawkins** on Mon Feb 04, 2008 5:53 pm

Jade blinked as she saw some movement just behind Gwen....some glittery movement. Another Chosen? And a fleeing one, at that.
"Gwen!" She jumped to her feet in the driver's seat, pointing in the direction of the running man in the loin cloth. "Gwen, follow him!"
She might have run after the quite nearly naked creature herself, but Gwen was closer...and she had Renmith.

by **Ketsueki Tenshu** on Tue Feb 05, 2008 10:08 am

Mar looked to Gwen, then the fleeting figure. He gave a vampiric hiss, "My eyes are ranged, I still see it, I shall follow Gwen in persuit of this creature." His red eyes looked to Gwen, waiting for her to move.
