By the time the giant wolf bumped into the wall, Mirt had already changed sides. He was ready to break the beasts legs with his fist, not once letting up on his offense. But the wolf was very in tune to the old man's position. And with its remaining eye, it was able to spot him. Mirt didn't even have time to punch before the wolf slammed it's body into the opposing wall. Everyone could see a smear of blood trailing after the wolf. [center][b][h1][i][color=black]DEATH COUNT[/color] : [color=RED]10[/color][/i][/h1][/b][/center] But the knights were ready to attack, an went unseen by the wolf. They simultaneously swung at its front legs, severing them from its body. The wolf continued to snarl and snap around itself, even with the front half of it's body forced to the ground. However, It was unable to turn around in the small corridor, its struggles only serving to pump more blood out of its legless shoulders. That was when Mono and his knights appeared. Once the wolf had wiggled its way over to him, he pointed at the creature and snapped. [b][color=royalblue]”Al Huma.”[/color][/b] The effect was not instantaneous on something so big, but already the creature was slowing down. It snorted and groaned, still putting everything it had into trying to devour Mono. [b][color=royalblue]”Al Huma!”[/color][/b] the wolf's head twitched before sinking to the ground. The blood oozing out of its eyes and arms had been frozen solid. The beast had been slain. [b][color=royalblue]”I do not pretend to have perfect memory.”[/color][/b] Mono stepped towards the trio. [b][color=royalblue]”But I don't remember giving you fucking permission to fucking open the fucking door!”[/color][/b] He pointed at Anyon. [b][color=royalblue]”Nor did I tell you to involve a fucking civilian in a fucking fight with a fucking devil beast!”[/color][/b] He pointed at Mirt's body, which was still plastered against the side of the wolf. [b][color=royalblue]”I'm not even going to ask how this happened you fucking degenerates!”[/color][/b] Mono extended his hand over Mirt's body. [b][color=royalblue]”Huma.”[/color][/b] Mono wasn't very proficient when it came to healing magic, but he knew a little bit. He certainly wouldn't be able to heal all of Mirt's wounds, but he was a tough old bastard and he'd at least be able to walk out of here. [center][b][h1][i][color=black]GUESS IT'S STILL JUST[/color] : [color=RED]9[/color][/i][/h1][/b][/center] Mono turned back towards the knights. [b][color=royalblue]”Where the fuck is Sir Walter? Did he put you up to this?”[/color][/b] [hr] Meanwhile, the non-natives ran into the kitchen. It was not the armory they had originally expected it to be. There was a table for the chef to prepare food on, several counters, a bucket for water, a small stove, but most of it was very, very old. There was nothing sharp or metal in sight. What really grabbed everyone's attention was the window with [url=https://78.media.tumblr.com/c5ee26291e7671d2751a12815ec63e08/tumblr_pfk6foEnM41w6599so1_1280.png]a large, friendly looking colored man peeking through it.[/url] [b]”Oh, well hey guys!”[/b] He leaned into the window and placed his hands on either side. [b]”You really shouldn't be walkin' around in there. They say this place smells like the witch. I can hardly believe it myself to be honest.”[/b] He chuckled. [b]”How about you guys come with me? I've got a clinic in the gold quarter. We can talk about life over some tea. There's no reason to hang out in here.”[/b] He stepped away from the window and folded his arms. [b]”Life can be unfair sometimes, but that don't mean you need to hide out in a spooky place like this. I'm serious, let's eat together.”[/b] For some reason, Alistair felt like he could trust this man. He certainly had better odds with this man then waiting for the knights to show up. And since his companions were more or less following him, they all agreed to go.

Not that she had fully uncovered it, but at this point there were few other things it could be. [color=FFDEAD]"That sounds agreeable, Wisp. You'll have to forgive me if I'm a bit skeptical about that being your real identity. You don't quite look like what I've heard. But I'm sure someone can verify it's you."[/color] She turned to face the non-natives behind herself. [color=FFDEAD]"I do not actually believe any of you are cultists or bandits. I'm sorry if I caused you alarm, but it was necessary and, in the long run, will likely be beneficial to you."[/color] She looked back at Wisp, but continued to speak to the teenagers. [color=FFDEAD]"We can vouch for you, but it will be up to you to explain exactly what happened."[/color] Aer started to walk towards the golden quarter. [color=FFDEAD]"One of the captains should be this way. We'll get you papers in no time."[/color] [hr] [center][h3]Center road, The Golden Quarter, Priestella[/h3][/center] Vasilis smiled and shrugged his shoulders. [color=gold]”Up to you Irene. I'm just thinking about all the other damsels that might need saving.”[/color] [color=peachpuff]”I'll definitely remember your names. Tee hee!”[/color] Fritzi would have liked to socialize equally with all of them, but she was a merchant, and serving the customers came before talking to them. Especially since most of them had taken an interest in patting the head of the street performer. As long as everyone's needs were being catered to, there was no reason to interfear. One by one, she took their choices and set them on the counter. Once Hiro thanked them, Vasilis scratched the back of his head. [color=gold]”Ey! I'd want someone to help me out too. Besides, this is the kind of stuff Irene wants to do.”[/color] After a brief pause he added. [color=gold]”And what I wanna do!”[/color] A cart rolled into the golden quarter, and Fritzi immediately took notice. [color=peachpuff]”A doctor's wagon? Was there another fight?”[/color] After it came to a stop, Alistair, Flame, and Father Whiskey all stepped out. Followed by a... [color=peachpuff]”Doctor Donovan?!?”[/color] The large black man placed a hand against the side of his neck. [b]”Everythin's okay. Old man Fumble Foot was excited, so I got to take my wagon with me just to make 'im happy. You know how it is.”[/b] he chuckled to himself. [b]”If you folks want to wear somethin' other than those clothes, I'll gladly pay your way. Fritzi has an eye for fashion. Just look at her. Girl dresses like a slum dog and somehow looks more regal then the noble folk!”[/b] [color=peachpuff]”Please stop! You're going to make me blush!”[/color] She covered her cheeks with her hands. [color=peachpuff]”Oh, Hiro!”[/color] Fritzi leaned across the counter. This caused her suspenders to pull tight against her breasts. [color=peachpuff]”Are you into footwear? I've got something here on clearance, and you're buying so many clothes I don't think boss will mind if I throw something like that in.”[/color] She wasn't really asking. Fritzi was already going for the shoes, Ashton, Aaron, Yuki, wisp, and Aer were walking by just as the medical wagon showed up. [color=FFDEAD]"Mile's emporium looks busy to today."[/color] Her eyes darted among all the people. [color=FFDEAD]"Wait, were they kidnapped too?"[/color]
