Despite Jandar and Dareen being together, something somehow still happened. Knowing Fatima, he somehow had a suspicion that she willingly put herself in a situation that made it easy for Sybl to take her away. Mikhail could relate to how Jandar was feeling. If only their situation wasn't already complicated enough, it was incredibly frustrating that things kept getting wrong... Especially when Fatima was involved. She was too naive and kind for her own good... So much it was almost foolish. To trust some random stranger just because someone was wounded... [color=6ecff6]"That woman is too kind and naive for her own good... She needs to understand the situation we're in and think more about her own safety."[/color] Mikhail said with a somewhat annoyed tone. [color=6ecff6]"Somehow I'm not surprised she left of her own volition..."[/color] he finished with a cold expression. As he continued following them, his hand was already on one of his daggers, hidden beneath his clothes. Hopefully, Fatima's luck didn't run out yet but if it did and the situation showed itself to be exactly what both Jandar and Mikhail were fearing it was... Blood would probably have to be spilled. The moment Jandar expressed his surprise upon hearing SaDiablo's name, Mikhail couldn't help but raise an eyebrow as he looked at him. [color=6ecff6]"Fatima and Faeril... Didn't tell you about him yet, did they?"[/color] he said with a sigh. He knew very well that such news would make Jandar even more worried than he already was. [color=6ecff6]"To keep it short, one of the conditions for the old priestess to open the portal to Kaeeler was for us to take the black jeweled prince with us... and Fatima is probably the only one that could convince him and keep him under control."[/color] he said in a low tone to Jandar, explaining what was discussed back when they met with the old priestess and what he talked about with Faeril. The moment he finished explaining it, the group saw themselves near a cliff side, following the track Dunny had picked up. According to Dunny, the trail led further down the cliff side. As he went on, explaining that he shouldn't get himself dirty, due to how steep the cliff side was, he almost slipped, ending up being grabbed by Jandar, who explained that he didn't need to go down, only tell them where exactly the track lead. Before Dunny or Jandar could say anything though, Dareen picked up the small sceltie, putting him over her shoulder as she started going down the cliff side after commenting that there was only one way to find out what was happening. [color=6ecff6]"Be careful, Dareen! We have no idea of what is happening. This could be a trap."[/color] Mikhail said, although to no avail as Dareen had already started going down. [color=6ecff6]"I just hope that somehow, my instincts are wrong about all this..."[/color] he said with a sigh, nodding towards Jandar as he unsheathed one of his curved daggers, assuming a combat stance and putting up a sight shield as he began following Dareen down the cliff side, ready to react in case anything happened.
