Welcome to Vradia

@Ti I figured Gus would make an entertaining new target. 😆

Welcome to Vradia

Faline gazed up as Torsten took a protective stance in front of her. She quickly glanced at Dorothea before she nodded at Torsten when he suggested covering his right side. Together, the two of them had taken down at least six bandits. Amandine seemed to be bouncing from tree to tree, taking out enemies effortlessly.

Faline heard more cries of pain coming from the woods as half the bandits appeared to split up. Some still charged at them while others ran back into the forest. She quirked an eyebrow. That was an odd move for a bandit group. She kept on slinging arrows to keep bandits from flanking Torsten. Now that Faline was warmed up with her bow, her arrows hit almost precisely her targets. She moved away from Dorothea to get a better angle to cover Amandine as well.

The redheaded woman dodged and rolled away from an attacker. She gasped as she didn't have time to reload her bow. Faline bent backward as Torsten's sword sliced the man just in time. Blood from the attacker sprayed the two, but Faline sighed in relief. "Thank you, Torsten," she spoke a bit breathless.

Suddenly, a man with his hands held up came running out of the treeline towards them. Faline quickly disabled the bandits in the treeline that shot the arrows at the man. She blew a few pieces of her bangs out of her face and rolled her grass-green eyes at the flirting smile this man sent her way. Faline arched an eyebrow as the newcomer was shot. His image faded away and then reemerged from behind her. It was a typical illusion spell.

" And here I thought we were going to avoid pretty boys today," Faline spoke sarcastically as a wave of energy washed over them. "Who are you talking about? What old man?" She questioned the newcomer and then sharply inhaled as the pain from her wounds (thanks to arrows that nicked her) dissolved away. Who blessed us? she thought as the bandits weren't on their onslaught. Those bandits that weren't unconscious or dead in the meadow retreated from the fight.

Faline peered over the treeline and realized she lost sight of Amandine. She quickly glanced over the bodies and didn't see her lying on the ground. "Amandine, are you alright?!" Faline called out.

@jasbraq Great post! I’ll have a post up soon!

The Dark Beyond

Yes, it’s my turn! I’ll post hopefully later today.

The Dark Beyond

@Lexisheeps Stella will just tell Nick that Thierry went out for the milk. 🤣

The Dark Beyond

@DaysI agree with @Lexisheeps. You go ahead. ☺️

The Dark Beyond

@DaysSure! I’m willing to work together. :)

The Dark Beyond

@Days Pretty much! But that is what makes it fun! @Estylwen leads us in the right direction when needed. :)

The Dark Beyond

@DaysVoidlight is a resistance force against HiveMind. In the shadows, they specialize in acquiring information on dark energy and other various power sources. They also develop new weapons and technology like HiveMind, sort of like a market competitor. Voidlight's CEO used to work for HiveMind when HiveMind was just starting. In the public eye, Voidlight is a hiring agency for a variety of career fields.

Dragon is smooth but is a bit oblivious to actual attraction towards him. So, he's a constant flirt. Lol

Also, @Lexisheeps, don't think that Stella won't joke with Thierry soon about the custody agreement for Nick. XD

The Dark Beyond

Stella held her glare at Von Galloes while he threatened #3's life. She ignored the burning sensation that she melted through her leather jacket. The hell he would touch her. Stella would see to it personally that he would eat his own words. Her icy eyes turned even colder when Von Galloes mentioned her mother. What did he know about her mother? He was never around. He had someone else take his place as her father. Stella was convinced of it.

Stella stood until the hologram was discontinued. She turned her gaze back to #3, her eyes softened while her lips curled into a gentle smile. Stella knelt and tilted #3's chin to peer into her eyes. "You don't need to bow, 3. Your life is just as important as anyone else's. It is why we didn't leave Nick behind. His life matters too," she murmured as her thumb wiped away a couple of stray tears from #3's cheeks.

The white-haired young woman stood back up, dusted off her knees, and studied the band of four men. She exhaled in slight exhaustion but ultimately knew that they had to keep going. "Well, shall we continue, gentlemen?" Stella asked as she gestured towards the blown-up wall. "This is where my expertise is restricted, I'm afraid. I do not know this facility outside of being captured within that simulation," she explained as it seemed that Thierry, Aaron, and Ramses, maybe even Nick, had further knowledge about this facility.
