The man in the church raised his hands up as if to give up whatever he was planning; assuming he had been planning something to begin with. [color=8882be]“Whoah, whoah, there’s no need to start getting violence involved kiddo! I wouldn’t wanna mess with a Cadet who’s way too knife-happy with the stabby, stabby!”[/color] he said as Natus left him alone with Clean. [color=8882be]“Good luck with that one pal. He’s got a real nice head on his shoulders,”[/color] he said to Clean, chuckling to himself and wasting rest of the night away in the church.

In any case, the next day came by quicker than anyone would have perhaps liked or expected. Or at least, that was the case for Gradon, though he had to be honest that the early sleep had done wonders for him. Rejuvenated and back in action, he waited with the other Cadets for this mission to go underway, the contents and details of which were informed to him by Viola. Before leaving the inn however, he was approached by Althea.

[color=ed1c24]“Feeling much better, thanks,”[/color] he said, rubbing his head with a smile just to show it was no longer ringing. [color=ed1c24]“But I guess I should be thanking Leblanc for dragging me out of there.”[/color] With that said he followed her outside to the meeting spot. It was a few minutes later when the Captain gave her final farewells and the Princess herself marched them onward-which of course he made quick order to salute to her-it wasn’t long before they reached their first destination.

The ruins their group found themselves made for the perfect opportunity for them to rest and set up a temporary camp. While some of them began to gather up supplies or just prepare for their temporary stay here, others were beginning that vote Ires had mentioned for team leader. Gradon perked up whenever his name was mentioned, not sure if that was the smartest choice to be making. Before he could comment on it though, Althea made her piece known.

[color=ed1c24]“I have to agree with Althea. If we want a leader, they should at least have a deputy for a backup. You know, someone to keep them on track in case they lose their way? Stuff like that,”[/color] he added to the conversation before pausing. [color=ed1c24]“That being said, I really think Ires should be leader…and I guess I can be deputy?”[/color] Well, it was as good a plan as any. Like hell someone like Clean or Leblanc should be leader; not with their creepy behaviors.

Yet all conversation would be intruded on by a loud screeching that pierced the air. Startled, Gradon looked up to the source of it, only to make out several festering, swarming shapes above them. Where had they come from? Had they disturbed a nest nearby with their activities? Or…had something else spooked them into a blind instinct? Whatever was the case, Gradon held his sword at the ready as the flock of [url=http://i.imgur.com/NviEi6W.jpg]Rocs[/url] descended upon them. The campsite would have to wait.
