[h2][color=aqua]Arkadian Elesir[/color] is looking for trouble![/h2] For the time being Arkadian was glad the Forest Witch was content with not cursing Arkadian and his familiar for generations to come, so he took the cue and bowed out, squeaking out a half-hearted thanks. Krampus caught the spare cube of meat easily as he whisked him away. [color=aqua]"Never do that again, Krampus,"[/color] Arkadian muttered. He was stressed, but nevertheless managed to let out a sigh of relief. [b][color=black]"Hey, it didn't turn out that bad, right?"[/color][/b] Krampus said, licking his paw. [color=aqua]"You almost gave me a heart attack,"[/color] Arkadian said. [color=aqua]"Maybe even a re-"[/color] He didn't finish that statement out of consideration for Nettle. She seemed nice enough. It was probably unhealthy to assume the worst about people he'd never… well, only just met. [b][color=black]"Maybe even a real one, eh? Heh, you probably didn't even rate the attention she actually gave you, don't get ahead of yours-"[/color][/b] Arkadian didn't let Krampus finish before he smacked him on the back of the head. [b][color=black]"Hahaha, maybe you should be paying attention to what's behind you, over there."[/color][/b] The Black Cat chuckled. Arkadian turned just in time to see Grarves, the land dragon barrel into the cafeteria, straight towards someone he didn't know. But then someone else he didn't know stepped up. Arkadian was worried for a second, the other person seemed to know what they were doing so the girl(?) was probably ok. Then he saw the look on his face, and he knew exactly what kind of person he was up against. [color=aqua]"Tohi! Lohi!"[/color] He shouted. They came bounding to his side. There was a little trick to controlling both Tohi and Lohi. Normally they did whatever they wanted to, but Tohi generally wanted to help Arkadian, and Lohi only wanted to protect Arkadian. If Arkadian needed neither help nor protection, they didn't act. Arkadian's life, despite the shape that it was now, was one shaped by the stories of Gods of old. No one knows who them now, but they know of their tales. They know of their cunning, their strength, their courage, and their bravery. And of all those tales, and even before those, Arkadian favoured the tales of Bravery. Tohi and Lohi were well aware of who their master was. Tohi plucked him up from the ground by her teeth as Lohi vanished in a twinkle of light. They crossed the distance at lightning speed. As Tohi let Arkadian down, Lohi had already appeared. [color=aqua]"Barrier!"[/color] Arkadian shouted. An invisible wall appeared and braced the land dragon, preventing it from falling onto Albus. It was slightly angled, letting Grarves fall to the side. When the dust cleared, Arkadian glared at the new presence. [@Pyromania99][@Rune_Alchemist][@Crazy Scion]
