The water splashing onto his face, Silar was roused back to consciousness, waking with a groan he heard Kayoko calling for him and slowly opened his eyes. While being unconscious Silar understood what happened and why, it was as if the information was downloaded to his mind from somewhere, as he held the blade tighter. Sitting up with some difficulty he turned to Kayoko, "hey Kayoko, aren't you usually suppose to wake a sleeping prince or princess with a magical kiss, not a wave of water?" Silar said teasingly, he couldn't pass on this perfect opportunity to do so. "Honestly though i really need to rest, it seems my energy was consumed just now from some kind of ability awakening in my blade. But I'll explain more after i wake up." Shifting around Silar nudged against a tree and began to slowly close his eyes to rest awhile.

Nyx feeling relived at her partner waking up, listened to what he said and satisfied, moved back to Drake and Dakota. I'm glad he is ok. Now Drake you mentioned something about writing or drawing in the sand right, do you think you would be able to pull it off?

Kayoko made a kissy-face and tilted her head to the right "No refunds, store policy. And, you looked pretty thirsty to me." she said, her goofy face remaining. She then stopped and added "Would you want a slap to the face instead of a mouthful of water?" she asked him. Maybe I shouldn't mention me falling on top of Silar.. she thought to herself. "Well, goodnight, sleep tight, don't let the short people fall on you tonight.." she added the last part to herself quietly. She then looked at Aurora "So, what's up?" she asked casually, she hoped the girl wasn't still scared of her. She looked fun to be around.

---

Dakota sighed at Kayoko and Silar's antics. He caught the mentioning of short people due to his "dog" hearing. She didn't look too short, maybe 4'5"? He didn't know he then turned to face Nyx and Drake "Maybe, but what should we write? Or maybe draw?" he asked the two. "Maybe.. maybe we can write the word "Ancient".." he suggested.

Khaalida grinned as he handed sticks of meat to her and Zmaj. She bites into the meat and consumes it hungrily and chuckles as Zmaj ate his in one gulp. She stopped and watched Erin make some interesting gestures then fall to the ground. "H-hey, you okay?" She asked as she got up and walked around the fire towards him and kneels nearby.

---

Zmaj removed the meat from the stick and swallowed it whole. He followed Khaalida's gaze to Erin who was acting oddly. "I don't think he did... But there is the chance..."

"Yeah, I'm cool." Erin stood up and sat down on the lush green grass, he grabbed one more stick and ate the meat on the stick. He then laid down on the ground, sprawled on the earth below him. It was surprisingly windy today, his hair fell onto his face, he huffed trying to get it out of his view. Then moved it away, "Got any bright ideas Khaalida?" he asked. His tension span was not very high, therefore.. he got bored easily. "Wanna go find the other people you keep talking about?" he asked again.

---

"Who knows.." Fawkes chirped, listening to the conversation. He decided to relax too, at least until some action began. He curled himself into a ball, folding his wings, Other humans? I'll have to keep a look out then. he thought to himself. Fawkes watched over the two humans, he knew Zmaj could take care of himself, he looked intimidating to the other creatures. The humans would make a tasty snack to a Liger.

So, our weapons possibly have powers that we need to somehow awaken? I wonder what mine will be, and how will I awaken mine? She thought to herself, half paying attention to what Kayoko and Silar were talking about. She was busy wondering what all of their abilities would be, and how they would get them. She came back to reality as Silar fell back asleep, his body slumped against a tree. Kayoko asked her what was up, and she had no real way to reply to what without being boring.

"Oh you know, just thinking." She told her honestly, unafraid of the once scary girl. "Haha, what about you?"
-----
Drake looked between the two creatures, he himself unsure how they were to communicate with their humans. "But would they understand what an Ancient is? They aren't from this land afterall..." He trailed off, hoping the others knew what he meant. They would have to somehow explain what an Ancient was if their humans were to understand their predicament. "But, an Ancient is a great place for us to start. With my beak and talons, I may be able to copy down human writing, as I have seen it many a times through this land."

Kayoko raised an eyebrow "About what? We're a team now, you can tell us stuff y'know." she grinned. "But, I have a question. Why were you scared of me?" she asked Aurora out of curiousity, she wanted to know. Since she seemed to be warming up. Kayoko sighed, and relaxed near Silar and Aurora "I wonder what my mom and dad are doing right about know, who knows.." she kicked a nearby stone. She hoped her parents weren't too worried, and that they missed her. Her memory was fuzzy, and she couldn't remember anything for reassurance. Just like when she first came here, to Eldemore. She wondered what this place was, a parallel universe, or an entirely different planet from another dimension. Who knows? At this point, she wasn't really fazed by much. As far as the creatures go.

Paws was now sitting up silently, listening to their conversation, she'd also been trying to make out a sense or a feeling when they metioned an ancient. "Are we supposed to have a destiny on why we are here?" She mumbled to herself, hoping that nobody heard her. She tried to clear the fogginess from her eyes. And we can awaken powers from our weapons? she thought. The more she thought about it the more stronger her headache was.

Khaalida nodded and sat back down and finished her meat stick. As a cool breeze went by she pulled a bang out of her face as her black hair was swept around by the wind. "Find the other people? W-why would you want to?" Her voice was somewhat confused. "I mean, they didn't seem hostile, but again, why would you want to?" She looked over to Zmaj who had climbed a nearby tree. He blended in near perfectly. "Safety in numbers I guess right?" I'd rather not go find those people... Why is trusting so difficult? "Yeah, you're probably right. We probably should..." She stood up and grabbed one of the apples that she had set near the fire. It was warm, but not too hot when she bit into it. "That's not bad..." It was soft and very sweet. She picked up another one and tossed it to Zmaj who ate it like a cherry.

---

Zmaj clicked as he climbed a nearby tree. "Would you want to find other humans Fawkes friend?" He turns his head and watches Khaalida eat one of the heated apples and catches the one she tosses him. "That is good, very sweet." Zmaj rumbles happily as he watches the group from his perch.

"Yeah. Safety in numbers, and.. is it really that hard for you to make friends?" Erin asked Khaalida with a grin "I mean.. you need to be more open. But that's just my opinion, no offense." he added. "Well, if you're going to be that way I'll just go myself." he said sitting up and stretching. "Come on Fawkes." he said, his Rune Drake padding over. He climbed onto his back "I'll give you a chance, take it or leave it." he told Khaalida, resting on Fawkes's warm body. It felt good, he probably would've fallen asleep if it wasn't for having a goal in motion.

---

Fawkes replied "Yes." then walked over to Erin, he let him hop on his back as he unfolded his wings. He flapped the eagerly, wanting to take off, but waited patiently for Khaalida to decide. He didn't mind waiting, he was only stretching his wings after all, but he did want to go fly. He didn't know how many more humans there were, or if they were friendly.

Khaalida sighed and tossed the rest of her apple in the fire. "I guess having people around is better than being alone..." She turned to Zmaj who was already behind her and crouched down so she could climb up. Once she got onto his shoulders she took a deep breath. "Do you have any idea where they are because I don't." She chuckled as she pat Zmaj's neck. (She is talking to Erin with this question.)

---

"If you're going then I'd like to too..." Zmaj climbed down the tree and waited behind Khaalida while she made her choice. When she climbed on his back he chirped happily. "I think we're coming along friend Fawkes!" His tail thumped the ground in anticipation of flying, but he rumbled at the thought of the humans not being nice and hurting their humans.

"No. But that's what makes it more fun, and more rewarding!" Erin replied "Besides, you don't have to worry. You have a friend that has you're back." he pointed to himself. "Well, Fawkes looks eager to fly so let's get started." he said, and Fawkes took off. He kept accelerating until he was high enough then stopped and began to fly more slowly. Woah.. this is cool! he thought looking down, the trees looked like bugs in the sky. He knew why Fawkes liked flying so much, he probably felt like he could do anything at this height. But that's what Erin felt.

---

Fawkes flew off the ground, flying up at surprising speed. He then stopped and began to fly more slowly, he turned his head to check on Erin. It appeared that he was enjoying himself, having a good time. Fawkes chirped happily, he wondered if his Drake friend was following.

Khaalida shut her eyes as Zmaj took off right behind Fawkes. It's not that she didn't like flying, it's that taking off was startling. Once he seemed to have slowed down a little she opened her eyes and smiled at the feeling of the wind racing through her black hair. Flying can be so amazing... Taking off is the hard part... She glanced down at the ground her mind racing as fast as they were flying.

---

Zmaj needn't be told to come along as he took off right after Fawkes did. His large wings propelled him upwards until he leveled off just a bit behind Fawkes. He rumbled in a calm soothing way, very much like humans hum. He just hoped that the humans they'd find wouldn't attack them.

While asleep, Silar had a dream in this dream he was face to face with his sword, glowing slightly as if saying take hold of me, complying he took up his blade when he did so his blade shone brightly and a slim pillar of light rose from it. Feeling that knew knowledge was entering his mind he understood what it was so i can give this light a new form, then i already know what i want, concentrating on the shape the light slowly shrunk and spread solidifying into a shield barrier 20 meters in diameter. Unbeknownst to Silar this scene in his dream also took place for real, as the light shone high into the sky from his blade and then condensed forming the shield barrier enshrouding his friends. It gave off a comfortable and protective feeling before finally disappearing a few minutes later.

---

This... what is this? It's so comfortable, Nyx thought to herself, then turned to ask Drake and Dakota do either of you get what's going on? The feeling vanishing as the shield disappeared back into Silar's blade.

{OOC; Warning, long post. xD}

"Could you fly a bit lower Fawkes?" Erin asked him, Fawkes them swooped downwards, going lower. He looked down, hoping to spot someone, or something. But he didn't see anything "Let's keep searching." he told his Rune Drake. He turned, looking behind him, just making sure Khaalida was following. He then turned back around, looking forward. He wondered how long it would take to find the other people Khaalida spoke so highly of, he was also wondering why Khaalida didn't want to meet them. Maybe she was shy? He didn't know for sure, but he won't ask. Not now at least. He continued to look around until he spotted something in the distance, his heart raced as he saw people gathered around. He then patted Fawkes "We did it, let's land." he ordered. Fawkes did as he was told and dove down landing gracefully, but causing a lot of racket. Erin rolled his eyes, then grinned as he jumped off Fawkes and landed on his feet. He was finally going to make some friends!

---

Fawkes preformed a brief nod and glided closer to the ground, so his human could see what was below them. They flew about for a bit, not noticing abnormal. They continued for about ten more minutes before it caught multiple scents ahead of them, he rumbled, which sounded like a low growl. Erin ordered Fawkes to land, which he did obediently. He landed, but he almost knocked down a tree, and caused a lot of ruckus in the making. He noticed Erin roll his eyes at his own antics and jumped off of his back, landing on his own two feet. Fawkes chirped then his pupils narrowed, and his throat rumbled as he turned his head like an owl seeing behind him. He heard a twig snap, but his human either didn't care or didn't hear it. He was about to spew fire when a girl with black hair and intimidating green eyes appeared, her sword at hand looking at them fiercely. Fawkes roared, opening his mouth revealing thousands of sharp teeth, he closed his mouth smoke coming out of his nostrils. Erin calmed him down, Fawkes calmed down, but was wary about the new stranger before him.

Kayoko was falling asleep before she heard a loud crash, and rumbling noises. She stood up quickly, she was still tired from the whole possessing incident, but she didn't want the others to look down on her. She ran off before anyone could stop her, she unsheathed her sword following the noise. She then came to a stop when she noticed a Rune Drake, with feathers. And a boy older then her beside the beast. So there's more? Man.. we'll never leave at this point, waiting for who knows HOW many. she thought to herself, holding her sword. The Rune Drake saw her as a threat and snapped and showed his weaponry. She was scared, but she didn't like that side of her show. The boy tried to calm down the Drake, calling him Fawkes. A good name for the dragon, he calmed down. But she had a feeling it was still thinking of her as a threat. Kayoko ignored the dragon and spoke "My name is Kayoko, yours?"

---

Erin stayed silent then noticed the girl was talking to him. He also noticed the girl was short, for one and that she would've killed him already if it wasn't for something important. "Name's Erin. Nice to meet you too." he replied, that seemed to calm Kayoko as she sheathed her sword and held out a hand. Erin shook it, Fawkes calming down as well. They both let go, "Sorry about the mess.." he said gesturing to the landing Fawkes made. The girl, who called herself Kayoko didn't seem to mind much "It's fine." she said once more. Erin felt glad he found someone else to talk to, he felt good when he was with other people.

---

Dakota tilted his head to the right "Feel what?" he asked, before he heard a loud crash and noticed Kayoko running off. "Ugh.. I have a bad feeling about this." he said to Nyx. "I think she wants to make up for all the incidents she's been in. To prove she's still strong." he added "I'm going to follow her. I'll be back!" he then ran off after Kayoko, he stopped himself as he noticed a Rune Drake, another male human, and Kayoko. She was chatting with the boy, so he decided not to engage, he stayed hiding in the shadows, which was Nyx's thing, he was listening and hoping nothing bad happens to Kayoko. The Rune Drake seemed to notice him, but ignored him. He didn't mind, the less trouble the better.

Paws woken up with a startle, she heard a loud crashed. As paws barely had her eyes open, she saw Kayoko running towards the loud crash. Paws sat grabbing her bows and arrows in case of something happening, she didn't want to think about it. "Kayoko?" Paws said as she looked from a tree in the direction of the crash. But she was surpise to see another human boy there with a creature. It looked as curios as Paws did. Returning to her spot, she sat on the log waiting for Kayoko to came back.

SouthernSun woke up with a little sneezed. She had fallen asleep under a big tree. She got up and wandered about. She felt something uneasy and looked up seeing a ancient creature flying high up and disappeared behind tree tops. That thing, hopes it not looking for prey she thought, before shaking her head ignoring her thought, she focused on exploring for a bit and a nice patched of green grass and maybe a stream to drink from. She started to follow the path again.

---

Christie watched from a distances. She really didn't know them, but he mind struggle with her feelings, Christie really want to know them or did she, all she knees that there were a few people she wanted to gain trust with. But her wolf seemed eager to meet them. Christie watched as a boy and a creature landed with a bang that sent chills through her body.

---

Eagle bolted to a tree almost where he can clearly see the ancient creature another human and a girl running to see if the human was dangerous. He poked his head out to see closer. Eagle could see fine and saw that one was a guy another was a girl.

Khaalida watched Erin glance back at her then seem to get excited about something he spotted on the ground. He found them! She thought to herself as he dived. She patted Zmaj's neck and he dove after Fawkes and Erin. As they were behind the other two, she and Zmaj landed a bit behind them, but they landed silently as Zmaj had caught the limbs of a tree and climbed to the ground. She leapt off his back and her staff was held tightly in her hands as she stepped forwards through the brush hearing voices after Fawkes roared loudly. She crouched low and waited for either an invitation to greet this person, or an invitation to attack. She made a downwards motion with her hand to Zmaj who obeyed and lowered himself silently behind her waiting for a signal.

---

Zmaj watched Fawkes dive and upon the pat from Khaalida he too dove down. He didn't want to make to much noise so he caught some branches and climbed down the tree to the ground. What is this? These are the humans from before... Why is Fawkes angry at this one though? He mused to himself as he mimicked Khaalida in front of him and got low to the ground anticipating and waiting for the moment to strike, or the moment to reveal themselves to make friends. Having more friends would be good. It would be better than having enemies.

{OOC; I didn't see you post! Pokeheroes is being a butt. >.<}

"We were looking for you, I mean Khaalida mentioned other people." Erin said, which Kayoko seemed to have found amusing. "Interesting." she mused, he looked at Fawkes. He seemed on high alert What's wrong with him? he thought to himself before noticing Kayoko talking "We wondered if there were more people around. So we waited, I spotted a girl once when I was talking with Silar. Does she have brown hair and amber eyes?" she asked. "Yeah. You get the description spot-on did you talk to her?" Erin asked. "No, she was hiding in the bushes when I was talking to Silar." Kayoko replied, mentioning someone called Silar again. "You keep mentioning this guy named Silar, so there's more?"

---

Kayoko raised an eyebrow Looking for us? she wondered. "Interesting.." she mused, "We wondered if there was more people around. So we waited, I spotted a girl once when I was talking with Silar." she added. He noticed Erin already meet the bush-girl "No, she was hiding in the bushes when I was talking to Silar." she said, it was true though. He asked who Silar was and if there's more people "Silar's a friend of mine." she said, which was true but wasn't true either. She had deep regards for him, which she felt was silly. Because she didn't even know if he felt the same way. Erin seemed to get the idea, but he didn't say anything. She thanked him silently for that "Yes there's more." she said. "You can meet them. You can tell your friend Khaalida too."

Waking up with a jump at the loud crash noise, Silar feeling better but still somewhat weak, struggled to his feet as he watched Kayoko and Dakota run off. This girl always rushing in head first, so cute. Once on his feet, he steadied himself then moved around a bit as he felt stiff, after feeling back to normal Silar rushed after her, "Nyx come on were going aswell". The little sea serval moving as a shadow quickly caught up to him, Getting closer to Kayoko's voice he stopped and listened to the conversation a bit, a friend huh, guess maybe i should be just a bit more direct about what i feel for her. "Nyx go into stealth mode and keep watch from a high point, if you could please stay in stealth mode as long as possible....if you see any definite threats, shoot at them with a shadowball. I'm going out to meet this fellow aswell." Saying this, Silar slowly stepped out of the woodline as if he had just gotten there, "ahh Kayoko there you are....oh who might they be?" he said while slightly tilting his head in a curious manner. "I'm Silar nice to meet you.... i hope."

---

Nyx, hearing her name called rushed to Silar's side, moving at high speed until they heard voices, one she recognized the she did not and it sounded male. Looking around them she spotted Dakota on a side slightly further away from them lurking in the shadows, this Dakota, whats he trying to pull hiding in the shadows, that's my thing. if not for this situation i would go scare him real quick. After awhile Silar gave her some instructions, understanding his hidden meaning, she went into stealth mode and moved into the nearby tree to one of it's higher branches, just before Silar stepped out. Silar really knows how to play a part, this fool. she thought to herself upon hearing Silar speak. From within the shadows She surveyed the surrounding area, she noticed the girl crouching in the brush, only because from her angle her hair stood out slightly more than her surroundings. That must be a friend of that boy, most likely waiting in case were happen to be dangerous, good thought, caution is better in this place. Continuing to scan the area Nyx caught the glimpse of a shadow and lost it just as quick from the corner of her eyes. What was that?

Kayoko yelped when Silar came "Hey!" she said acting skittish, Erin was confused then snapped his fingers "Alright." he told Kayoko. Then looked over to Silar "Nice to meet you, I'm Erin." he said. Kayoko realized what Erin mean't he wanted to help her, she wanted to curl up and die somewhere, this was so embarrassing. Erin's creature companion seemed to only think Kayoko as a threat, which seemed to get her wondering. Wait.. what if when I got possessed.. she thought. Kayoko looked at Fawkes, he must know. Kayoko then snapped back to reality, and looked over at the two boys. Erin seemed to loose interest by the time she looked over there, she sighed. "Wanna head back?" she asked Silar. "You can come out too bush-girl.." she added, referring to Khaalida.

---

Dakota then decided to head back too, he walked back to the camp. Returning to everyone back there he wondered how many humans there were still out there, and if we have to wait for all of them. Hopefully not, Kayoko thought the same. We might leave some people behind, or lose someone.. he thought to himself, he forced the negative thoughts out of his head and thought about something else. Kayoko's cooking.

---

Erin then decided I'm going to help Kayoko. he noticed Kayoko got the idea, she looked embarrassed, he laughed. Then looked over to Silar and said "Nice to meet you, I'm Erin." he then noticed Kayoko looking in Fawkes's direction, she looked wary. What's going on between those two? he thought, then noticed Kayoko turned in their direction. He suddenly got bored, when Kayoko mentioned heading back, he suddenly wasn't bored anymore.
