[color=violet]If they were supposed to be here waiting for us to lead us back to Ispar, as you call it, then it sounds like as long as we play nice, then we'll be safe.[/color] It put her a bit at ease to hear that. Jasper sounds like they've done this a few times before so if he says they'll lead us then that should be good enough. Still, best to stay on guard, every group can have its radicals. If Kedvin is the type to not like us, there can be people in his group who think we shouldn't even get the chance to try. As she looked around she spotted... something. She couldn't tell what it was but it was big, to say the least. Then, without warning, it let out this bellowing roar, smoke coming out from it. The smoke could mean it's not an animal or beast but instead a construct of sorts. [color=violet]Is that a war horn? Are we about to be attacked?[/color] She'd continue to watch as that thing made its way back into the woods. [color=darkviolet]It might be going to get the people that signal was meant for. This could be bad...[/color] Jasper would continue and describe what she'd just saw. Apparently, that sound was 'good' so that's... 'good' to hear? But if Jasper's next words were to be taken at face value, Kaath sounds like she's in an uncontrollable state. If she wanted Violet's newly formed team to be dead, sounds like no one would be able to stop her. Kite's only stopped her attacks but he didn't try to attack her. In addition, Kite's been rather docile since leaving the cave. [color=darkviolet]Kite seemed rather exhausted since the last time he... revived I guess. Hopefully, that doesn't have any lingering effects on him. He's our only 'ace' so to speak. Without him we're dead but with him... I can only hope he can, at the very least, hold her off.[/color] Slowly they got closer to the end of the bridge and Violet could make some things out. There appeared to be a fight of some kind. Blood and slash marks everywhere, there appeared to be some struggle but no sign of a winner or loser. Getting closer she saw... more... [color=violet]What... the... hell happened here???[/color] It looked like a tornado blew through here... a very violent and angry tornado. The state of the camp, however, was the least of her concerns. There was a... person. Sadly that statement was more apt than she wanted it to be. There WAS a person. What was before her now was.. something broken. Violet realized she couldn't have been more wrong, whatever happened here wasn't a battle, this was just fun for one person. Whoever did this, had time to make this one person's life miserable and not even kill them after. Violet was beyond horrified to see this scene. She could barely look but she'd promised she'd be better for her team, so she had to face this head-on. This person weakly called out for, what she could assume were his friends, but upon realizing they weren't who he was looking for, long any will they may have had left. [color=darkviolet]She? Was this... Kaath's doing? Why? Is this what she does when she'd in a bad mood? Take it out on people who can't defend themselves from her? For what purpose? To feel better? To vent? What could possibly justify this???[/color] She approached the defeated man and knelt down to him. [color=violet]I wish I could promise I could fix you but I can't do such a thing. I've never even seen this before. If you so choose, I can offer you a swift death should you find that to be a better alternative. Before you make your decision, I have only a few questions if you want to answer. If you want to skip them I'd completely understand. If you will answer, however, then what happened here, and where did she go?[/color] The promise of a mercy killing might be good for this person. Violet had no idea if whatever did this to him was permanent or not. If it was, then there was nothing left for him past this. Basic things became undoable from what Kaath had done. She'd have to take initiative to gather information and determine if this is Kaath's doing or someone else. It's easy to assume Kaath but she has no proof yet if she's even capable of this.
