As Bast distracted the mighty ronin, he had little time to react to the massive tail that was racing towards him. The tail struck true to it's mark, hitting the sword-wielding warrior straight in the chest and he was sent flying several feet away before falling limply onto the ground. Titanica snorts as she gets up from crouching, glaring menacingly at the fallen foe. Yet as the titan began to turn and leave the dying warrior, he managed to croak weakly:

"[color=aba000][i]How... much... did he... pay you?[/i][/color]". 

The reptilian beast simply stares him down for a few seconds before eventually turning back towards the others. It looks like the others had already finished their fights as well and the little scampering merchant came out of the barricade to congratulate them on beating these foul men. This missions was all too easy for Titanica and she could've easily taken them all on if she were to be alone. Of course, having more on your trip does also mean that you can finish this job way faster. But still, she was rather disappointed at the battle she had. 

So the group began to surround the merchant as he continues praising their work and skills on the battlefield and was most certainly grateful for their assistance. Still he seemed confused to who they actually were, all until he had the bright idea to say his own conclusion.

"[color=crimson][i]Ah I know! You guys are harem with gentleman as the center. Oh, lucky you! I'd have harem too but wife will kill me.[/i][/color]"

The beast's eye twitches violently at such a lewd and childish response. With little to stop her, she seizes the man's scruff with her clawed hand and lifts him off the ground in a single swoop. She begins uttering an angry growl while scowling at him with her vengeful wrath in tow.

[color=00aeef][b]"Now is not the time for your little jokes, gremlin."[/b][/color] Titanica mutters in a low, yet aggressive tone, [color=00aeef][b]"What do we get for saving your perverted petty ass?"[/b][/color]

A cool breeze sweeps through the peaceful village of Mahigan. It's one of the best places for displaced monsters of almost any species to spend their time in peace, not having to worry about the brutal forces outside, and to ultimately start their lives anew. It's a gorgeous place after all, known for it's vibrant meadows and calm atmosphere, all while being a short trip away from the nearby Valoras Woods. And if one continues to follow the path to the east, they'll eventually come across the Shrine of Eros. Mahigan itself also happens to be a major place where religious followers gather as the last major settlement in the northern hemisphere, where they gather up supplies and rations, and set off on their great annual pilgrimage towards the shrine. Yet other than this yearly event, little really goes on in this village as most of the citizens are often relaxing away or working in the nearby farms, providing food both to the village and it's neighboring towns. Most people ought to simply stay the rest of their lives here until they eventually grow old and die in what many call a sanctuary.

Yet for someone named Morgan, her time here in Mahigan is beginning to run short. Just yesterday her senses had picked up something far to the west, precisely towards Boreal Port. There she senses something, or rather someone, familiar. Someone she hasn't sensed for countless centuries. And if her hunch about who this figure is is correct, she must travel their immediately to meet up with it. But the longer she keeps herself planted here, like a caterpillar still in it's cocoon, the more restless she becomes and who knows when or if the figure is still there. 

[i]"H-hey uh, can you-- can you help me out here?"[/i]

Yet as Morgan continues to ponder in her thoughts alone, she suddenly hears someone ask for her assistance. She flutters her bright blue eyes rapidly before looking down to see a young boy shyly asking her for help. 

[color=f7941d][b]"Oh?"[/b][/color] she wonders intriguingly at him as she issues a friendly smile, [color=f7941d][b]"What seems to be the matter?"[/b][/color]

The boy seemed a little hesitant to respond at first, but alas he continues.

[i]"We've got... we've got an injured friend and we're not... we don't know this place. Do you-- Do you know any doctors or apothecaries or anyone like that around here?"[/i]

Luckily for him, he's standing in the presence of one now. 

[color=f7941d][b]"Well lucky for you,"[/b][/color] she responds cheerfully, [color=f7941d][b]"You've just so happened to bump into one! I can heal your friend, just show me where he is and I'll get him patched up in no time."[/b][/color]
