Its movements were slow, with several seconds passed between each step. There was no doubt about it, this thing was hunting them. The wolf's growling got louder with every word the group spoke. Even at their distance, they could see black saliva drip out of the beast's mouth. It had circled around the side of the table that was closest to the kitchen, but furthest away from the hallway. It's eyes were locked with theirs. A single movement could send the beast into a sprint. [hr] [center][h3]Center road, The Golden Quarter, Priestella[/h3][/center] The ride was fairly quiet, as everyone was still a bit shaken up over what happened. Of course, that didn't stop Vasilis from speaking. [color=gold]”So Yea, magic is...”[/color] He rubbed his chin. [color=gold]”Really hard to explain. It actually took me a long time to get to the point where I could make explosions. But with fire as your element, do you need any other spells?”[/color] He sighed. [color=gold]”I wonder if there's someone out there, in any world, who feels the same way I do about explosions...”[/color] It did not take long for everyone to get to the Golden Quarter. Vasilis stepped out of the cab first, and helped Irene, Chieko, Aerith, and Hiro down in that order. [color=peachpuff]”Whoa! Foreigners!”[/color] A wolf girl [url=https://78.media.tumblr.com/ed4c1c858d6ff288b2b4f87de780f314/tumblr_pafo7yNGwZ1wt7ek9o1_1280.png] who looked strangely familiar[/url] was standing behind a vendor 's counter. To her left were several fruits and vegetables, and to her right were some modest clothes. [color=peachpuff]”Woops! That slipped out! Let me try that again.”[/color] She puffed out her chest and placed her hands on her hips. [color=peachpuff]”Welcome to Miles' Emporium, where we sell everything you need to enrich your life!”[/color] She gestured to the items to either side of her. [color=peachpuff]”And what's more important than a full stomach and the clothes on your back?”[/color] The wolf girl's chest deflated with a cough. [color=peachpuff]”You guys mind if we aren't so formal with each other?”[/color] She folded her hands behind her head. [color=peachpuff]”I'm Fritzi. if you need anything, I can get it for you. Even if it's just directions.[/color] Eiko and Aki Came out of the dead end ally not too far away from Miles' Emporium. There was no sign of Helga or the guard.

The three cultists/bandits/foreigners in front of her were all reacting differently, which confused her greatly. One seemed to be eager to get taken to the authorities, while another begged to remain, and the third one (their leader?) was conversing with a demi human who invited himself into this gathering. He was by no means a tall person, but it didn't take much to stand above Aer's head. She shifted side to side to try and look past the feline demi-human. [color=FFDEAD]"Um."[/color] Aer flicked her eyebrows up before leaning to her left. [color=FFDEAD]"Sir?"[/color] She leaned to her right. [color=FFDEAD]"Wisp?"[/color] She waved her hand in an attempt to get his attention. [color=FFDEAD]"We do not have proof at the time that the magical device he holds is even his."[/color] Aer leaned to her left once again. Her brow furrowed once more. [color=FFDEAD]"You could be in danger. Cultists or not, this could turn into a hostage situation very quickly. I need to ask you to stand back."[/color] At the mention of hostages, the crowd forming around the group seemed to recede a bit.
