All that had transpired had become a hazy blur and darkness. The guardian wolf's last memory being Phia's blurry face then blank that went on for an unforseen amount of time as whatever smidgeon of consciousness he was able to maintain felt as if trapped in a bubble within a void.

None of his senses seemed willing to cooperate save for one and the one sensation the badly injured wolf would prefer be rid of. For all Menzai felt was pain; there wasn't a single part or bone in his body not screaming in pain, aches or any other form of discomfort with the only bit of relief afforded him was the loss of his left arm. (Which he was still not wholly privy to yet) 

To make matters worse was the intense rumbling coursing through the ground beneath them and with Menzai essentially blind, he could only fret and worry on what was going on. Was Phia ok? The brothers? Did it get to them or...

A thought Menzai refused to let go any further for fear of losing what shreds of sanity left held him together in this moment. And yet, even through all the pain it was frustration and concern that burned through him and it was through such strong feelings that kept alive long enough for his dear sister to find his mangled though a small part of him preferred to spare the sweet fairy such a grisly sight.

Then, from nowhere and without warning, a sensation on his head; something warm and gentle moving him causing him to let out pained grunts and cough sending out small sprays of blood as dried droplets caked the corner of his lips, better to stay there was hardly an orifice blood hadn't trickled out from his face. The movement had been excruciating; a level of pain sure to have any other screaming and hollering in a way that could be far and wide, but Menzai allowed nothing more than the paint grunts and low pants for as much pain he was in, it was he accepted willingly to spare Phia and the others this fate. 

A very faint and dull warmth could soon be felt by the barely conscious wolf and at first it made the aches flare leaving him shifting in discomfort. Then a trickle of relief streamed through his body; flowing and soothing him with its medicinal doping powers of healing. A sensation all too familiar and easily recognizable and merely feeling these healing powers got his shaky erratic breathing to settle back to normal.

[color=92278f]" P-Phi..Dan...Dar...are...ok...all?"[/color] He tried to ask, wanting to make sure everyone was ok and to find out what the situation was. A pointless thing to do at the moment with his ears still deaf and ringing. Even trying to speak had put him through immense pain leaving him unable to do anything else but lie there in darkness both figuratively and literally. How humiliating this was for the newly named guardian, who did nothing more than shame the title and himself. 


Just then, something loud could be heard slamming down (albeit nowhere near the level of what the roc produced) as the small dust cloud formed by the huge double-sided battle axed slowly dispersed. Before long, Ulyses was revealed, his right hand resting atop the bottom base of his axe which was nearly as big as he was, though a serious, grim expression overtook the usual bearded grin the huge battle scarred wolf normally wore.

"[color=fff200] Hmph, looks like we arrived a tad too late.[/color]" The man scoffed, a hint of disappointment at missing an opportunity to scrap with a Roc, whom he could seeing lifeless in the background, but his attention was kept on the small group before him; anger flashing in his eyes upon catching a glimpse of Menzai of Phia who were a bit off to the side so they weren't in clear view, but enough for him to tell he was in a perilous state. The strong smell of blood a major indicator especially.

Turning his gaze away, fearing any longer and he would lose himself and attack the first thing to give him excuse to lash out. His powerfully built body trembled gently beneath his clothes as those sharp predatorial eyes turned to the unkown traveler's; taking note the lack of visual on Dante and Darius."[color=fff200] I can tell this is very difficult situation all around, but until we can properly figure out this whole situation, I will have to ask everyone here to stay where they are.[/color]" Ulyses stated this, a demand that was followed by another heavy thump of his axe as a warning, particularly to Cyrus and Viola who gave off some very unsettling vibe and scent that nearly had the experienced wolf heckled and on alert. 

Remaining quiet to let his words and warning to linger on the air, adding to the tension in doing so. Then his lips pursed where he let loose a long, shrill whistle; following the signal, numerous figures robed in black appeared standing in the trees all around the clearing where pairs of canine eyes glinted within the shadows. 

Studying the area a bit more before using his left hand to make a beckoning motion and seconds later a robed wolf appeared at his side on his knee in a bowed position."[color=fff200] Jin, do me a kindness and gather up a group to find those raucous brats and bring them to sweet Phi quickly as possible.[/color]" 

Jin lowered his head with a nod and single curt." [color=ed1c24]Sir![/color]" Jumping away and vanishing as if never there.

A wary sigh left his frowning lips as he looked towards Phia." [color=fff200]Apologies sweet Phi. You already got your hands full as it is.[/color]" And it pained him that she had to see Menzai like this, a broken mess. He could only hope this would not break him like the last cruel incident nearly had.

The aged wolf wanted nothing more than to de-escalate the situation and comfort, but it was his job to get to the bottom of this and find out how things led to this. 

As such, his attention turned back to the two who were an unknown variable." [color=fff200]Quite the unfortunate timing. Just as we get visitors only for it to be followed by such an attack. One can't help but wonder and be suspicious of these unknown travlers.[/color]"

A faint grunt as the huge, burly wolf lifted the axe up with one arm and lifted it to rest across his right shoulder with ease as he stood, ready to fight."[color=fff200] I will give our guests one chance. Explain the reason for your presence here and I do advise you speak honestly. Lie...[/color]" With a strained grunt he gave a quick swing of the axe with a single swipe of his right arm in the direction to the right of him as several trees collapsed shortly after, giving a visual example of what will happen to those that try to play around.
