After the long day, Caelyn had a restful night. He was awoken by the sun beaming through the slit in his curtains. What a fitting day after such a successful haul yesterday. Caelyn was awake early enough to get breakfast as well. He rewarded himself with a calorie-rich croissant that was a lot better than he thought it would be. The croissant was not greasy like he had imagined. “Hmm, looks like the saturated fats won’t be killing me today!” He said to himself quietly. He giggled as he cracked himself up. He noticed an attendant looking at him and immediately stopped. His face started to get warm as he felt it go flush. It was a good time to excuse himself. The delicious breakfast was just what he needed to kick off his hunt for new companions. After leaving the inn, Caelyn decided to check out the forest for his search. It was dark as the canopy blocked out the sun, so he thought it would be a good time to get acquainted with his new Kyonshi. “Kyonshi come on out, and stretch your wings.” The key glowed and soon the bat shot out like a rocket eager for release. The shade really brought out the violet hue on his fur. Caelyn was always looking for beauty in weird places, that is until he got to the teeth. “Holy shit Kyonshi, look at your fangs! They are huge, dear God. Hey a fitting name. Fang.” The Kyonshi let out a screech to let Caelyn know he approved of the name. After wandering in the forest for about an hour, Caelyn thought he had heard some kind of barking noise. “What the…” He said as he scanned the canopy. Thats when he saw it. A nest of Xiao and they were attacking some kind of other Natrelmon he had never seen. It was about a foot tall and had prismatic wings. “Fang get up there and see if you can spook those Xiao away from that creature.” The Kyonshi flew up into the tree and dived suddenly as the Xiao flung venom at it. “Easy Fang, don’t get too close.” “I have to help Kyonshi somehow, but how…” Caelyn pondered for a minute and then it hit him. “Fang lead him to that branch right here.” Caelyn pointed to the appropriate branch he was targeting. Then he fell into casting. The spell was impressive, Pillar of Winter it was 9 feet in height. But that was not the reason he casted the spell, he had other plans. Arctic assault was inserted and placed to release from the tip of the pillar enabling it as close to the Xiao as he could get. Caelyn may not be able to fly, but that did not mean his battle couldn’t be aerial. “Now Fang!” The Kyonshi let out a deafening screech, and it knocked the Xiao off-balance, at that moment Caelyn released Arctic assault and it struck it solidly in the chest. The Xiao fell from the tree, and Caelyn knew that if it hit the ground it would likely die, and he could not let that happen. “Quickly relic, capture the Xiao.” The key glowed faintly, the Xiao was in bad shape. The moment pulled him back when Fang screeched at him to let him know the strange Natrelmon was in danger. The other Xiao in the nest had it cornered and was about to impale it. “Fang build speed and use Gale Wind III to knock the Xiao off of the branch.” It was truly impressive to watch the Natrelmon swoop in like it did. Flying so fast that Caelyn had to squint to see it, and just as was about to make contact, it pulled up some 15 feet away. The shockwave from the move shook the tree, knocking both Natrelmon out of it. The winged creature started to fly off and that is when Caelyn noticed the Faeron. “Oh no you don’t Faeron!” He said as he released the Assault from the pillar. He thought it would be the appropriate time to use his relic, and he activated it. While the Faeron was inside the key however, it heated up so immensely it burned Caelyn forcing him to drop the relic. The key dissipated instantly. “Damn an easy 1k N gone.” He cringed at the realization. The creature was still paralyzed from being released so Caelyn immediately tried it again. This time it worked. Caelyn was still in udder disbelief as the events unfolded in his mind. That was until the remaining Xiao dropped onto his head from the tree. Caelyn panicked and threw the creature off of him, and did what any seasoned warrior what have done. He ran. He ran a solid fifteen minutes until he saw the edge of the forest in sight and the light peeking through. “Alright Fang, come back.” He returned the Natrelmon to his relic, because he knew the light would hurt him. Caelyn decided after lunch to go explore Toran and see what interesting things there were to behold.
