"What is that? Leave the talking to you? No offense but you tend to keep that grumbling dour look on your face." Himeko said as she sped her way around Charlotte, somehow keeping up nicely with her shoes on. "Despite how I'm acting to you now..." The Tengu took a breath and her look changed fairly drastically. Instead of the confidence and mightiness she tended to keep prior to now, she had a graceful and peaceful look. "My apologies if you thought otherwise, but I can also be quite charming I think. My apologies if my legs are distracting to you, though I don't quite understand how. Perhaps you would like to tell me in detail, dear?"

"Well done then." Yumeko commented. See? She was right! Rachel could figure it out. With that, group took a left. As they walked forward, they'd notice a slight pulse of sorts around them. Something akin to a ripple in the water. Soon enough, they came to something very familiar. Another giant rock. In fact, the area looked like it did around the first rock. "Wait, what? Did we... Take a wrong turn?"

Tinkermon cut in, confused as well. "Nononononono. We just walked straight, there's no way." She commented, looking behind. For a distance it just looked like a corridor of bamboo with a fog in the distance. "Hey, uhh, when did that fog get here? I don't remember that?"

In the meantime, Yumeko stepped towards the rock.



"I'm not sure about the code, but... There are more of them this time right?" The Japanese girl asked the others. "Rachel?" She said questioningly, hoping the girl would illuminate on the word.

"You don't know where it is? Hmmm. If it's not one problem it's another." Himeko muttered as she looked around. Well, now would be a good time to put her wings away. They just disappeared into her back and she walked forward a bit, past Charlotte. "Where now would we learn this? I know nothing about human nations. Were this the Tengu Mountain, I would know where to go, alas Human society is almost a world away. For example, who sells food on the street side? Food should only be sold inside the most lavish of buildings." She said confidently, nodding her head as if it were only common sense.

Himeko looked to Charlotte as if she had the upmost faith in the girl, "So it's decided, you will take the lead. I trust you can find something of use." Her arms crossed and a smile appeared on her face as she shifted the heavy weight of finding Harena's location to the young human.

Everyone

Eith just looked at Khira, confused. Mate? Why was that Eith's business? "Mate with who you want?" She said, curious as to why that even needed asking. Of course, Eith never really thought much about that sort of thing. She left that to the underlings in the past. That said though... She looked over to Miren. She walked over to the bunny and grabbed her possessively. "Except Miren. That rule doesn't go for her." She wasn't quite sure as to why she even thought that.

Katherine caught Khira's look at her and gave a wink, though around the same time she felt a ping of jealousy or possession from Meowka. "Anyways Meowka, you went a little far with the teasing. You have to pick your targets well and limit it when it comes to friends. I'd suggest apologizing to Miren cause she might forgive you. Didn't it feel bad looking at her? There's a line between being a tease and being a bully." She just hoped the cat understood.

Avaline looked entirely heartbroken. And Sol felt a bit bad, but she needed to learn in order to fit in to human society. Though, the fact she looked entirely renewed was shadowed by the words she said afterward. "Wait, they're going to Sappho?" Luna questioned, looking first to Marie, then over to the teacher... Who looked at her immediately and waved at her as she lectured her cat... That wasn't surprising. The teacher likely heard then, which was good. "Thank you Avaline."

After that was over, Sol walked up to Avaline. "You know, Avaline, I don't mind letting you see these. It's just not polite to snatch something out of someone's hands like that. I mean, if you just said, 'I'm sorry for being rude,' I'd just hand them back to you." The girl said, holding the spoon and mug behind her back.

"Contribute nothing? You dare imply a Tengu would not carry her weight?" Himeko stated, astonished. How dare this girl! She had to be taught a lesson. Drawing her blade, Himeko did not swing it, merely point it to the ground. Soon, Charlotte would find a strong wind knock into the back of her knees, likely catching her off guard. Another wind from there pushed her into the ground so she found herself in a kneeling pose before long. The Tengu merely laughed, "Kneeling already?" She almost cackled as she sheathed her blade. "Your path is fraught with danger young human. And a Tengu is one of the fastest and strongest in the world. Some say the eldest among us are on level with dragons. You should be begging me to join you."

That was out of the way now. Of course that human could see her worth now! "As for my interest in it, I suppose I could tell you..." Since Charlotte was, if nothing else, her traveling companion from now on. "The Tengu mountain has a great amount of wind storms protecting it's borders from outsiders. One day, however, the storms disappeared without reason and an attack was launched on the city. In the meantime, someone snuck in and stole an ancient artifact that could cause no end of trouble. Not that we care, but we want what is ours."

Everyone including Luna

Luna gave an awkward smile as Sorcha came over and asked if the "wyrm" was causing trouble. Sol still looked a little miffed, but she wasn't really angry, Luna could tell with a glance. "She's just a little excited. It's a bit cute, you know? Give her a chance, I think she'll grow on you a bit Sorcha. I know you have your doubts but, for me?" The Knightess said with a soft smile. She then turned to Avaline. "Now, Avaline, you shouldn't just snatch things out of peoples hands." She said, poking at the creature's forehead. "I think she'll forgive you if you apologize though. Just tell her you're sorry."

Katherine had to giggle a bit at Meowka's enthusiasm in joining on teasing Miren. "Now, now, Meowka. Seems I must teach you the ways to give just the right amount of teasing." Katherine said putting a finger up to her chin. "Well, once we're back in Sappho we'll do that. I'm going to be a bit busy with these different texts."

Eith smiled at being called "Alpha." It was odd. She was actually pretty happy at that. Like it was something she used to be called a long time ago. "Yes, we are the rebirth of the Shellagh pack, though we are missing Shellagh." Eith said, stating the sad truth of it. "I place my faith in you two."

"Demon!? Don't conflate our race with that backwards civilization of lust! I am a proud Tengu. Said to have been born from Crows and the Divine in the mountain!" The girl boasted. She was obviously quite proud of what she was. That said, she seemed amused that the human was afraid.

"Still though, you think I'd waste the swing of my blade to end your life? I still have use for you anyway. As much as I hate to admit, I've had none that thought they might even have an idea as to what this sigil was. None but you that is. You should be honored that the great Tengu of the Mountain have asked you for your assistance." She sounded pretty pretentious about it too. Not that she didn't sound appreciative of Charlotte's knowledge. "Oh, but where are my manners. My name is Himeko Kagekoro. We Tengu mean no ill will to you humans. Though, I won't say I like your race as a whole."

Himeko looked over this girl again, studying her. "I shall even deign to use your name, Charlotte. So, where is Harena from here? Do you not know?"

Legacy of Harena

"Do I look a scholar?" The tall girl asked before giving a quick sigh and taking the sigil back. "Harena though? It sounds familiar. That was the desert nation I was to believe. Either way, it's related to that? Perhaps I'll have to visit the sands then." That's further than she wanted to go, definitely. She'd tired her wings out looking for it too. She didn't have a big idea where it was either. "Tell me, human who's name I've yet to learn. Where is Harena. I need to know for the Divine." Of course, she didn't specify which Divine, though she obviously meant a specific one.

There was no one around now, she supposed she'd reveal herself to this human and use her knowledge if she didn't flat out run away. "Behold, human, the form of the Great Tengu Tribe." Behind her, a pair of wings sprouted from her back spreading out to show off their splendor. "You stand in front of Himeko Kagekoro. I propose we... Work together. Loath I am to say it."

Everyone including Luna

Luna watched as Marie went to her spot and sighed. Well, that went about as well as could be hoped at least. The Knightess moved towards the table when she was suddenly accousted by her new familiar. Sol... Had taught her about utensils... Right? She didn't accidentally just shown them off as divine items right? Well, it was a good way to get her spirits back up after having an intense moment with Marie. With a smile, Luna spoke gently and put a hand on Avaline's shoulder. "They are quite useful aren't they? They help you eat and drink without getting all messy. I'm glad you're amused with those."

She looked over to Sorcha as Sol finally made her way over. The dragon was taking care of her cat servant it seemed. Well, it was good that they were having a moment. "Ahh! Luna! Welcome back! Food's ready. Avaline, it's rude to swipe things from people's hands like that." Sol said before putting her hands on her hips and tapping her foot like an angry mother.

Meanwhile, Katherine sat down at the table to eat, slowly going at the stew that her dolls brought over for her. It was a nice delicacy. She always enjoyed a good stew after all. "It's a nice aroma. It's good to have someone cook for you." She mentioned aloud happily. Soon enough, she found a cat's head laying on her lap. "Oh, Meowka. I'd recommend not laying there right now. I'm still eating. And don't worry about patrolling tonight, I've set up a perimeter with my little partners. Rest, save up your strength. You're walking tomorrow. Miren and I are going to do a little work with those documents and book...s..." She turned to Miren noticing...

Eith returned with Chimaera and was quite hungry so she happily nodded when Miren said she saved food. Her eyes went wide after that though as she forgot an introduction. "Right. Miren, we fought so she would accept entrance into pack. There's three now. Me, Miren and C-- Chim... That's not a name. Chi...Chimera... Kira. Unless you already have a name, you're Kira now." Eith decided herself. She seemed as proud of herself as she could seem.

From behind Miren a voice called out. "Miren, you're still holding on to that Thesis on the Elasticity... What was that of again?" It was Katherine, deciding to pester the little group. She gave a wink to... Kira as she turned to Eith who spoke up.

"Thesis on the Elasticity of the Female Chest"

"Ahhh, thank you Eith. It seems it'll be worth fixing you soul after all." Katherine added, petting her kitten's head so she didn't feel like she was being ignored. She looked down towards Meowka while minimalizing the turning of her head, "It was worth coming all the way out here just for that."

Legacy of Harena

Nearby at a nearby market stall, a fairly tall girl with outlandish clothing (for the area at least) held a symbol up to the stall-owner. "Do you know where this is from?" She asked, curiosity coating her voice. She seemed nice enough though. She held a sigil or something of the sort on a scrap of cloth.

Sigil

"I don't. Never seen it. Don't want to tell one of your kind either." The man she was talking to replied rather curtly. His eyes looked a bit sunken like he was quite tired. "You can hide your wings, but I've seen those clothes before. You're all so... Conceited."

The girl's face dropped from a nice smile to a look as if she was tired of doing so. "Kami be praised, I was tired of this act anyhow. You must be from the village at the foot of the mountain. Hmph. You humans are creatures that should be doubted anyway. I'll be gone from your shop. If you do know anything and you refuse to tell me... So help you if I find out." It was an idle threat anyhow. Not like she would waste her blade on such a pathetic being anyways. She turned around and bumped into a human girl that seemed out of place in this town for some reason.

The not-so-human girl eyed the other for a couple of seconds and put on a smile. "My apologies! I didn't mean to run into you!" She quickly muttered. This girl was probably quite cute as far as human girls went.

"Hardly, she don't care one lick." The man from the stall said, leaning forward a bit resting on his workplace.

The girl's eyes narrowed and the corner of her mouth curled down into a frown, "Quiet you! I've finished with this conversation." She was a bit irritated with him and his... Rudeness. Soon though, she realized she just blew up in front of him like that. She quickly turned back to the human girl and stuttered a bit. "I mean, uhh, that is to say... Ummm, let's talk over here. Away from eavesdroppers." She added before dragging the girl away to a small out of the way place.

"My apologies, how rude of me to... Complain in front of you like that. Speaking of..." She gripped the piece of cloth she had in her hands before opening it toward the girl in front of her, showing the sigil inside. "Would you know what this is? I've yet to find anyone that knows in the few village I've been to."
