[@Lmpkio][@Archmage MC][@Gummi Bunnies][@Pirouette][@The_written_John] Arcadia 2, Ryu's Group. Mithias had sensed them approaching, a hodge-podge of different beings, one carrying some sort of large, hungry infant, but each of them had powerful minds, wills, and strong spirits. Not yet revealing himself, he studied them initially, gathering any information he could on their direction, speed, and intent. Were they lost? No... something similar to lost, but not quite. It was enough to spark his curiosity. Perhaps, with any luck, they had seen HER. One of them, a girl, had some kind of teleportation ability as he quickly realized she could blink over dramatic distances in an instant. It seemed safe, so he decided to start walking out into the open. He bore no weapons and wore only clothing made of cloth and leather and carried a satchel. He looked young, but adult, with yellow eyes that were strangely friendly, and long, black straight hair hung freely and uncut behind him. he was a handsome, somewhat knightly young man. Out on the road he intended to meet Light first, but suddenly there came an unexpected boom from the sky, as if the air had just shattered above with a sharp and reverberating crack. Mithias felt his heart jump as his adrenaline released, yet he kept himself still, eyes keenly searching to find that black bird icon on the ships above. The girl seemed to have retreated toward the others, and Mithias realized he was going to have to follow her. He ran, keeping on eye on the ships as they began to release hundreds of smaller units, drones perhaps. Mithias narrowed his eyes. He couldn't sense any intention from soulless machines, but in his experience swarms of drones were never a good thing. He took off down the road, finally coming within sight of the others and coming to a halt some distance in front of them. He stared at them from out in the open while they huddled behind a building. Only then did Mithias realize Light wasn't with them. The hum of a flying drone was getting closer. What was about to happen?
