Isabeau was halfway on her way to leaving when the screaming started. Dark shadows in the form of bats flooded a street corner not too far from them. She grumbled quietly and thought to herself [color=darkcyan][i] dammit, I don't have time for this [/i][/color] Genevieve must have read her mind though, as the next words out of her mouth were instructing the group to split. [I]"The rest of you, hurry now! Get up that mountain and retrieve that stone!"[/i] You didn't have to tell her that twice. One battle with a demon was enough. She knew the fight wasn't over, but she couldn't be distracted by that now. She had to figure out how to get past a greedy, possessive dragon. She nodded to Genevieve, then looked to those who had not yet responded to the commotion. "Time to move!". With swift movement, she pulled the coat over her shoulders and made her way down the path to the north entrance of town. She didn't look back, didn't give two thoughts to who would be going up or not. The group was right, any who was interested would be on that path regardless. At least she knew the half orc was already on her way up the mountain. [I]"Princess of darkness... will lead a group of unlikely heroes"[/i] She didn't like Genevieve very much, and certainly didn't like being referred to as 'The Princess of Darkness'. [Color=darkcyan][i] "I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul"[/i][/color] [Color=darkcyan]"damn her and her words... I'll show her"[/color]
