[quote=Donovan MacConaill][color=lightgreen]"We're here tah save this place from a god gone mad. Aye shoulda told ye th' details on the way-- but aye think weh just found our first lead. Aye'll explain when we get a quiet minute and ain't in the open-- c'mon lad."[/color][/quote]

"[color=skyblue]A god gone mad, huh?[/color]" Nick was already intimidated. "[color=skyblue]I'm sure this'll be easy...[/color]"

[u]Donovan[/u] then met with a beautiful and effeminate, fair-skinned man with long and flowing hair. Apparently, he and [u]Donovan[/u] knew each other. From what Nick could infer, it appeared they had been together not too long ago and were in trouble of some kind. The beautiful man's name was not revealed to Nick and he appeared to be in a hurry, offering [u]Donovan[/u] and Nick rest with rather flamboyant language. He then took off and Nick noticed he had a bow in his hands.

"[color=skyblue]I take it you know that Fabio-looking dude back there?[/color]" Nick asked [u]Donovan[/u]. "[color=skyblue]He looks giddy with that bow of his.[/color]"

Nick was following [u]Donovan[/u] the entire time and it appeared they were following the girl they saw earlier, but then they were stopped when a voice spoke to them from behind.

[quote]“...Dawn. T-the name of the village, that is. Forgive my impudence for speaking out of turn, but you seemed curious so I thought to be of help. And if I have not offended then perhaps I can be of service in some manner?”[/quote]

It was the horned woman and now that she was up close, Nick could discern the details of her appearance. She wore what appeared to be feminized samurai armor complete with a pair of those Japanese katanas on her hips. She also had one of those Japanese demon masks, completely hiding her face. But not her very noticeable reddish horns that protruded from her forehead. "[color=skyblue]Thanks. Dawn, huh? That's a nice name. Although, this village might not be seeing one very soon.[/color]"

"[color=skyblue]I'm Nick, and this is Donovan.[/color]" He introduced the two of them before explainig anything. "[color=skyblue]We heard from a deer that this place is about to go belly up. Know anything about that?[/color]"

"[color=skyblue]Nice horns, by the way. My little sister has them too, although only I could see it.[/color]" Nick could not take his eyes off the woman's horns. It was enchanting for him, to say the least. They looked so natural, and Nick knew they were. But at the same time, he was not used to seeing horns on humanoids since there were none back in Earth.
