[color=6ecff6]"I-I see."[/color] Miren replied. [color=6ecff6]"Really, thank you Katherine." [/color]The rabbit smiled, hopping over to Eith. [color=6ecff6]"See? We might find something!"[/color] She gave Eith an excited pat on the shoulder.[color=6ecff6] "Isn't that great?"[/color] Of course, the mood just had to be ruined by a certain demon of pride.

[b]"Oh?"[/b] Marie smirked, turning to Katherine. How insulting. Marie inwardly grimaced, especially as she was touched by this filth. Blegh, she should be back at Sappho or some other neanderthal place setting herself up as a little queen. Since the jousting tournament, she had easily made herself up as a little celebrity. Being out here - among this...filth was far beyond her. Tsk, if she hadn't had her Arsenal taken from her by her mom she'd just turn this castle into her own little palace where she was the empress. [b]"Aha, I'm so scared of an third-rate human mage."[/b] Her smirk turned into the most infuriating over confident, smug grin that was possible for a human. She positioned herself right in front of Katherine, literally getting 'in her way'. 

[b]"You almost sound like you think someone as [i]weak[/i] and [i]pathetic[/i] as you has a right to tell me to be a 'good little girl'. That would be funny, if it wasn't so sad how delusional you are about your place in this world."[/b] She gave a dismissive shrug. [b]"I wonder how good of a plaything you'll make? You certainly seem to like being that womans pet."[/b]

At that moment, Sorcha had almost done as Katherine said and turned Marie into charcoal. Before she could though, her hand was grabbed by Solana, earning a surprised grunt from the dragon as she was pulled away from the scene. [color=aba000]"Grwuh?"[/color] She made a surprised, somewhat annoyed growl as she was pulled aside by Solana. Right...there was a kid here. She couldn't let herself be controlled by anger so easily...even if ever ounce of it was justified. Marie had threatened something that was [i]hers[/i]. She shouldn't even be breathing any more...but she had managed to contain herself.

[color=aba000]"Ahem...yes."[/color] Sorcha replied to Solana with a soft chuckle, patting the girl on the head. "Luna gave this dragon quite the beating, heh!" She grinned. [color=aba000]"Though, if I was even at half my normal ability Luna would have been a tasty little snack for me...but I'm glad she was able to beat some sense back into this little dragon."[/color]

By now, the group was finally near enough to see the large castle. It rose high above the forest around them, the ruined walls clearly overgrown even from this distance.
