Outfit:Outfit from the Ball
Inventory:Sword that's sheathed, Bow and quiver of arrows. Then: 2 hankerchiefs, liquid body cleanser, wayfinder, toothbrush, travel-size hair and teeth cleansers, small round of rope, bandaging, and disinfectant spray: all in a fanny pack that's facing behind him, hidden behind his cape.

Malachi was thankful his comrades were listening to him and that some of their attacks had damaged the creature so far. They seemed to have a handle on things thus far, but Valok had been braver with his move than he had anticipated, moving forward to slash directly at the creature. He saw Myra hold up two fingers out of the corner of his eye and stalk off. He had no idea where she was going. It took him a moment in the heat of firing another arrow at the bear to realize what she'd meant. And by then it was too late.

Another owlbear had come out from the trees and had wrapped its arms around Valok in a hug. However, it was no friendly hug. It was a hug that would ultimately end in death if it was not stopped. The owlbear started to peck at his head like a bird and Malachi cringed. He grabbed Belladonna's shoulder and said quickly, "Hold this thing off. Don't get close."

He unsheathed a sword that had been on his belt, not wanting to waste time with either conjuring magic or stringing an arrow. The armpits were easily more accessible in the hugging pose. Malachi ran at the owlbear and then jumped up to gain height as he ran to its side, grabbed the right arm, and used the swinging momentum to drive the sword deep upward into the armpit. The sword went all the way through and came out of the trapezius muscle and slashed its face as it passed through. Malachi then yanked it out as he fell downward. The owlbear let go of Valok with a mighty roar of pain as a mass of amount of blood started pooling out from the deep goring wound.

Malachi rounded back around from behind the owlbear to shove Valok away from its grasp, calling loudly, "Mathis, the arm, cut it off!" Before he could place another attack, the owlbear grabbed Malachi with its good arm, throwing him away towards the ground. He hit the ground with a thud, this sword dropping at his side. The wind was knocked out of him from the impact, so he took a moment to catch his breath. Nothing seemed to be out of order as far as Malachi could tell. He scrambled back on to his feet as soon as he could and moved to Valok's side to assess the damage and defend him if he needed it.

Helio flapped his hand in time with Umber's words as he spoke."Blah, blah, blah." Umber sure liked to complain. So what if Tigerlily wasn't bleeding yet? He had her now and could do what he want when he wanted. However, his eyebrow raised with intrigue as Tigerlily was lifted into the air in front of him and locked in a T-pose. He side-eyed back and forth as the injured fairies were brought in front of them. He listened to Umber's instruction and his grin grew wider with every word. "Now that sounds like a hilarious game."

He had been instructed to go first and his expression turned to that of a cat excitedly pouncing on its prey as he flew up a bit to levitate in front of her. Azriel apparently didn't care about the order and started attacking, which made him pause to watch. He started laughing as she cut the girl's back skin off, along with her wings; It was so funny that she was in agony. Once she had tossed it to Umber, he grinned and turned to Tigerlily, meeting her eyes.

If she thought he was going to hold back, she was wrong. Nothing she did would stop him now.

Helio grinned at her and pinched her cheek, "Smile. You're never fully dressed without one!" He chuckled at his own words and raised his arms up as vines shot out from the ground beneath them, flanking Artemis on each side, rubble, and dirt exploding around them as they did. He went to send them inward to impale her slowly with them when a new voice interrupted. Helio glanced over with an annoyed expression as some undead guy had emerged.

“I told you, Helio, to watch and control this territory... Not kill and torture its citizens. Do not make me come there myself. Umber, Azriel, do you enjoy wasting my time? Do something more useful if you choose to remain here just don’t continue these stupid games you enjoy so much. We do not need more of an uprising that has already been caused.”

"Seriously! Aklenroth when did you become so boring?" He groaned, dropping his arms as the vines began to retract back toward the ground. He gave Tigerlily a ferocious glare that essentially said: I'm not even close to finished with you.

Outfit:What she's wearing
Inventory:Bag for her belongings(It's along her belt behind her cape and not a backpack). Inside that bag: ama pouch, small water flask, plant seed pouch, small bag of berries, small flowery perfume, small knife, thin nightgown, and Risa has transferred some of her hygienic supplies into small, portable bottles: hair and teeth cleansers, hair softener and armpit fragrance.

Risa took note of the types of places they passed as they walked along the road toward the shore in the distance. She locked her arm around Kyran's, trying her best to relax and enjoy the moment, but she could feel that her muscles were still stiffened. So much had happened that trying to ignore it was beginning to feel like trying to close an overstuffed closet that just wouldn't close no matter how she pushed at the doors. Any silent moment gave those doors time to try to swing open and she had to rush to shove at them again.

It had been mostly homes and apartment buildings for the first part of their walk, but she soon spotted a healing center. It was a fairly nice one, not nearly as big as the one in the River Kingdom, but it was quaint and roomy. All the buildings were of the same, simple architecture she had first seen when they arrived. After that, there was a two-story wooden building called "Sailor's Choice." Risa had not been sure what that meant until its purpose became faintly audible for a second. She flushed and quickened her pace.

They finally arrived at the Surfside Cafe. The inside was huge with fireplaces and three firas in the middle up on a stage. The chefs were up there, cooking in front of everyone. There were many guests seated at the four-person tables around the perimeter. While she had been oogling everything, Kyran had been speaking to a waiter to get them a table. To her surprise, the waiter Kyran spoke to had led them through the cafe to the outdoor area.

Risa's eyes lit up as she peered down the wooden boardwalk that seemed to go down for quite some distance. It was slightly busy today with people. Then there was the beautiful view of the shore and Risa did not rush taking that in. Glancing back over at the outdoor area, there were a good handful of tables, some with four seats and others with two seats. There was a trio nearby that looked to be on their way out and a couple seated nearby as well.

The sound of a seat being pulled back against the wooden floor pulled her out of her thoughts and she seated herself, handing a menu to Kyran. She returned the smile and put her hand over his. "This place is so nice, sweetheart. You picked a really good one." Risa then picked up her menu, deciding quite quickly she'd like the vegetable medley soup. "I'm going to have the vegetable medley soup. And you?"

The Wyvern

Interaction: @Helo@HowlsofWinter@Tae

The wyvern was quick. Her size was not nearly as large as a dragon so she was able to maneuver through the sky area with no issue. She was just a bit bigger than a large horse. Slices of light bounded through the air toward her and she managed in her movement to almost dodge it. Still, it burned into her foot as she was sweeping upward and she roared.

Then a bird flew toward and soon her vision reduced to half its size as she went blind in one eye. Enraged from the attack, she quickly moved toward it with an open mouth. She had not expected the bird to have much intelligence and clamped her mouth shut over it, but the tiny bird ended up dragging its talons down her tongue on its descent. The wyvern struggled to cough it or swallow it, blood dripping from her mouth.

In her distraction, she didn’t notice the ice daggers flying right for her wings, or the earthly materials getting packed onto her tail. Just as she finally got rid of the bird problem, ice daggers flew into her wings as they flapped, penetrating the skin and also deeply shredding the skin. Roaring in agony, she struggled to keep up in the air, descending slowly until she crashed into the ground leaving her vulnerable. The sudden weight on her tail had made things more difficult. However, the rage of seeing her baby get stepped on was still fresh and she was not ready to lay down and die.

She roared forward at the group, menacingly beginning to charge toward them. Suddenly, pressure on her tail caused immense pain to radiate through it. It was increasing by the moment and in her agony and anger, she spun around, swinging her rocky tail toward them. The weight and pressure was too much, causing the end of the tail to tear off its body, sending it flying at the group. The wyvern screeched in agonizing pain as blood splattered everywhere from what was left over from her tail.

Clara had quickly maneuvered herself out of the way of the beast’s attack, however it managed to scratch her and rip into her forearm, scratching into her skin. Blood trickled down onto the grass but she ignored it. It didn’t feel like it was too deep. She glanced over at Kenia’s comment as she straightened herself upward to prepare to attack , “Nah. We got this.”

She listened to Kenia’s commands as it was distracted by the light magic. ”Coming right up!” Clara called to her. She wondered what was so bad about the tail, but figured it did not matter as long as she listened. She began to focus on lifting dirt and rocks from the ground to smash on to her tail. Clara spent a decent amount of time doing this before she noticed Boreas flying up toward the creature. ”Boreas! No!! Here, here little bird! Come back!!” Clara tried to call him back, even trying to make bird noises after she spoke. She stared in shock as he clawed at the eye, blinding it in the one. Boreas ended up swooping back around and he went straight into its mouth. The beast began choking, blood spilling from its mouth.

Had he just… killed himself… to help them?

Her gaze slid toward Bowyn and she felt heartbreak for him. He had seemed to have been so fond of the bird, treating it more like a friend than a pet. Her eyes watered but she tried her best not to start crying as it would just make this harder.

Bowyn soon started going insane on the wings, conjuring what looked like really sharp icicles to Clara. With the wyvern distracted, she was sure the attack could possibly make the wyvern fall to the ground, giving them a much better advantage. Then maybe she could ground it in place so it couldn’t charge at them once that happened. For now, she packed on as much dirt and rock onto the center of the tail until it looked like the tail was being weighed down.

An idea popped into her head. Clara could imagine the light bulb over her own head in that moment.

She began to move her hands toward each other in a crushing motion as if she was trying to pop an invisible balloon in her hands. The elves had taught her that using motions she wanted with her hands helped solidify her intent. She attempted for the case around the tail to begin squeezing the tail harder and harder. Clara’s face contorted from the effort but she didn’t stop.

Inside that bag: ama pouch, small water flask, plant seed pouch, small bag of berries, small flowery perfume, small knife, thin nightgown, and Risa has transferred some of her hygienic supplies into small, portable bottles: hair and teeth cleansers, hair softener and armpit fragrance.

The smell of salt and moisture in the air told Risa they were just where they needed to be. She stepped down off the amora to stare down the road, the sound of seagulls filling the air. The buildings that spanned down the road were humble. They seemed to be housing buildings for the civilians here. A cobblestone road was beneath her. All sorts of species of people moved through the road. The town was not too loud and only one or two carriages could be spotted moving down the road in the distance.

”Yeah this place is nice.” Risa replied calmly to Kyran’s words. ”I’ve received word that Elsea is alright yesterday. She’s so strong I’m sure she’ll make it here soon. Oh, how I miss her.” She said with a sad smile. When he asked about where they’d go, she went to tell him she’d like to go scope out the town, but a voice in her head interrupted her.

About time you showed up.

Out of the nearby bushes came the brown-furred wolf, his green eyes fixated on her. Risa beamed and ran over to kneel on the ground in front of him and throw her arms around him. "Hades! I don't think I've ever been more glad to see you!" He leaned his head on her shoulder in return of her hug.

No need to fret, little one. I have been well. However, I have good and bad news, so please pay attention.

Risa let go of him and placed her hands on her lap to listen. She felt her jaw clench as she anticipated already what the bad news was.

I was intercepted on my way to bring Dionaea home safely and it was by your brother, Helio. I was able to locate her, but it was too late. His scent was that of what I remember and it was no demon, but make no mistake, he is not the man we knew. He reeked of dark energy.

Risa was thoughtful of his words, her gaze leaving his as she petted his fur, "I know. I ran into him too... I hope he didn't hurt you. She looked over her shoulder to throw Kyran a glance. Risa had no idea whether he even knew about Dionaea or not, but she still did not have the guts to bring it up.

Hades tilted his head, perhaps having braced himself for a different reaction. No. I got away alright. You seem like you've already begun the grieving process. This means we can move on to business. I have found you a meeting place that can be rented out for tomorrow when the others arrive. Also, I have located my old pack leader and his pack. Risa stared in surprise as eight more wolves emerged from the woods and bowed their heads to her. They are patrolling the woods around this town to keep an eye out for who arrives. They've been introduced to human scent and will come to alert me. I have asked the fairy girl who works at the clothing store to aid me. She is a long time friend. She has written down 'Meeting Hall tomorrow at 2' on bits of paper and given it to the neighborhood dogs to hand to anyone who smells like a human.

"Wow... You've thought of everything. How do they know what human smells like?"Risa asked. Hades had always been wise and had a way of thinking ahead. She was grateful he had done this much. Over the amora ride, she had been trying to brainstorm how to find everyone if she didn't know every rebel by face yet, and had struggled to come up with any solution.

I had saved a piece of that metal human's shirt from the woods, then I introduced the wolves and town mutts to his scent. Now, no time to waste. You and Kyran must follow me to see the hall I want you to rent out. Hades moved past her and began going down the road, expecting them to immediately follow.

Risa climbed back on her feet and then took Kyran's hand to lead him along. They soon found themselves outside a decent sized building. Inside, there were wooden benches and a small stage with a podium for someone to speak out of. "This'll do."She commented as she looked inside through the doorway.

A demihuman man was sitting at a desk inside. He glanced over, "Looking to use this place for an event? It's 10 amas per hour.

"I'll take 8 hours tomorrow starting 2 pm if that's free."Risa wasn't sure they'd be talking for 8 hours, but it was better safe than sorry.

"Hmm." He opened the packet he had and looked over the schedule. "Looks good. If you go a bit over, don't worry. No one else has an event in there tomorrow night. I won't be around as I have things to attend to tomorrow."

Risa paid him then stepped out of the meeting hall. Hades nodded to her and moved back into the woods. She knew he'd be around if she needed him. She came back to take Kyran's hands.
"Wanna get a bite to eat?"

"Aklenroth isn't the only one doing misdeeds in this world. Blaming him solely would make him a scapegoat. It's understandable how your kind feels. There are many problems and the only issue is that Aklenroth needs to either start listening and start sharing his power to make decisions with others, or we need to make him leave his throne and have those more capable and not bias toward treating any race better than another."Malachi spoke to Valok, sharing his thoughts on his statements. He enjoyed his unbiased and intelligent philosophy, finding him comfortable speak to. However, before they could continue their conversation, dreadful noises filled the air.

He turned around, stringing his bow with an arrow as a large owlbear stood up on his hind legs. Mathis spoke first, urging them all to stay close, then inquired of his plan. His gaze fixated on the staff as it turned to a scythe. He pushed his thoughts about that into the back of his mind. "Yes-" He lowly began to speak, intent on rapidly giving them orders but Belladonna spoke to the bear, challenging it with a stupid phrase as if it could understand her. His eyes traveled to her reluctantly when the sound of water moving reached his ears.

Oh you've got to be kidding me you dimwitted little... Do you have any idea what you have just done? He thought, but said nothing aloud.

He watched the droplets of water stretch into shields with a look of pure irritation. With full intent on Belladonna seeing his expression, his head to glare at her as if knives would shoot out of his eyes. It wasn't often too strong a feeling arose, but he felt it rising. The girl started talking to the bear again and he almost threw his arms up in the air when she threw rocks at it.

He grumbled under his breath a few curses before shaking his head. He fired a light imbued arrow and aimed to shoot another one rapidly after, "Belladonna stay back and continue the shielding. I shall keep it busy. Mathis, use that thing and hit it while it's distracted by me. Valok, attack it too. Then, Myra, keep on the lookout in case this vile beast has brought its friends."

The Wyvern

Interaction: @Helo@HowlsofWinter@Tae

---

The Wyvern had taken a moment to recover after Clara's attack, but soon had moved backward. She readied her wings as she began to rise back into the air. Flapping into the sky she made a circle as she then turned back, scouting the area only momentarily as she fixated on the group. Swooping downward at them as soon as she had a good opening, she angled herself to strike her claws toward the four of them. After her attempted attack, she swooped upward to gain back some distance from them, remaining in flight as she hissed at them.
