"Alright. I'm glad to have both of you on board. I'll tell the others that we have two more party members." Adykon hadn't even taken ten steps when Vespion walked over, having heard the whole thing.

"I'm glad to see the two of you here. I admit that I am no psionic, and I have only known a handful that work in the Great Temple, but I am nevertheless glad to see you both here." The cleric didn't know either of them, but any help against Dememoras was a good thing for sure.

Heril looked at Vespion. - "Dememoras is far too great of a risk, someone who should have never existed, but he is here so it means that this generation must deal with him so the newer generation will have a chance to live in peace." - he then closed his eyes for a moment as he smiled. - "Funny how destiny can plot all of this and play with our lives: Dememoras returns but so does the one who can stop him. Maybe this time there will be a permanent winner."

Kelassa went a few steps closer to Vespion. - "We are happy we can be of any help, I know you are a good Healer, but this is a big group, so I may be able to assist you when a battle comes."

Eriol was looking at the group, he is leaning in a house that is nearby. - "They are far too eager to join us, don't they know they are most certain going to die in this whole Dememoras' business?" - the male Panther thought as he kept staring at the moment.

"We all might die, Eriol. If we don't succeed, everyone we know might die as well. This is the chance we all must take. Running from Dememoras is useless, after all; there will be nowhere left to run. Instead, it is best that we die fighting. If this psionic and that healer wish to join us in this endeavor, I say we let them" Adykon knew that even with a dozen psionics and healers, this was still a long-shot.

Meanwhile...

Aerta rested on a soft red rug. Deep in meditation, the archmage had no spells to cast, nor plans to make. Her defenses were weakening. The shields which surrounded the palace were starting to give way under the daily bombardment by the forces outside. She lacked the strength to keep them up for more than perhaps a fortnight more, possibly three weeks. If no reinforcements came in that time, she would be in dire straits indeed.

Adykon's force was not enough to defeat the army surrounding her palace, nor would it be enough when combined with Aerta's magic. All they would have to do is to reach her, and then fight their way out. When Aerta and the others were far away enough from the palace, they would be out of range of the anti-teleportation field that Dememoras' forces had set up, and they would be able to escape.

Marcus began to move his claws down Rhiga's back, rubbing and massaging it, letting his claws move in circles, as he did, he felt the knots in her back start too release. " You have a lot of stress built up..' He said.
_
Minna grabbed a bucket and went over to to the edge of the village, towards the river bank. She saw Marcus and Rhiga in the water, thinking it was best not to disturb them, she moved a distance away. Throwing off her top and loincloth , she waded into the water, and felt the makeup, which she had spent close to an hour putting on, wash off. She shivered. " Geez this water is cold, but it feels good to clean up nonetheless' She said to herself, dumping bucketfuls of water on her head. After about fidteen minutes. he finished, scooped up a fresh bucket of water, and waded to the shore, where she quickly redressed and headed into the village to find the others. She met Ilsa and Margas first, who were haggling with a village female over the price of food, in particular, grapes. ' Here's some water in case you need to clean up" Minna said, setting the bucket down. ' Margas turned to her,m nodded then turned back to the villager. " Fine, we'll pay your price!' He said reaching into a pouch at his waist and pulling out a number of coins, and tossing them to her.

As the three Dracons turned, several figures dressed in traveling cloaks walked up to them.
"Been a long time, Minna.". The lead figure said, lifting his hood...

Noname · **Reply #8005 on:** May 10, 2010, 05:33:36 PM

Adykon turned to see the figures that were approaching Minna. Drawing his sword and running over to them, the warrior put himself in between the sorceress and traveling figures. Something about them was strangely familiar...

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #8006 on:** May 10, 2010, 05:53:40 PM

Akito pulled his hood back, smiling a little.
"Well, well. If it isn't Adykon. Been a long time, hasn't it?'

Noname · **Reply #8007 on:** May 10, 2010, 07:19:02 PM

The mercenary was at once happy and angry. He was glad to see his old allies again, but...

"Akito, where were you?! And the rest of you, didn't you see that battle we were in? Minbenthac nearly fell, and we were only saved by a few oversights on the part of the enemy! Oh... I shouldn't be mad. You came back, after all. If you could tell me where you have been, that would be enough."

Vespion saw Akito and the others as well, and he ran over to greet them, happy to see more allies.

Nick22 · **Reply #8008 on:** May 11, 2010, 04:01:35 PM

So where have you been Akito? We sure could have udsed you while defending minbenthac' Ilsa said looking at Akito and then the others.. " At any rate it is good to have you back.."
" I'm Margas, Ilsa's husband' " Margas said looking at to the Fauxen.

Lucien came over to the growing crowd that surrounding Akito and his brethren.

"And just who are you, little foxes? I've heard that there were some of your kind helping Adykon out a while back, but I didn't believe it. I guess anything's possible in this world, isn't it? I am Lucien, pleased to meet you." The noble could hardly believe that meeting them here was a coincidence, yet he was not alarmed at this development. Any help against Dememoras was good help, in his view.

Chiletrek · **Reply #8010 on:** May 13, 2010, 01:06:42 PM

Eriol looked at them. - "It is good to see that you are still around Foxes, you sure are all making yourself a reputation of coming and going at the moment notice." - he gave some steps closer to them.

At that same moment, the new members of the party got closer too, the male Dracon made his greeting speech. - "Good day, my name is Heril, I am a member of Minbenthac's Psyonic Guild and with me is Kelassa: a very talented Healer, with both magic and by using herbs." - To that, Kelassa bowed a little in sign of respect to the Foxes.

Noname · **Reply #8011 on:** May 13, 2010, 08:34:24 PM

"We are looking for Aerta, who I think you have seen before, Akito. She's a dracon like myself, and an archmage. Her husband was killed by Dememoras, who also killed... Vaeri. You come and go so often, it is hard to tell what you have and haven't seen. You remember Vaeri, right? The dancer who was set to marry me? Rhiga's mom? Anyway, we are going to find Aerta, who is under siege by Dememoras' forces." Adykon hoped that brought Akito and the others up to speed about what had happened. There was SO much to say...

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #8012 on:** May 14, 2010, 02:02:07 AM

Akito nodded. "Forgive our...sudden disappearance, Adykon. We were going to help you in battle, but...something, or someone, dragged us off into the middle of the desert before we could. We've been tracking you ever since." He nodded to the Heril, Kelassa, Margas, and Lucien.

"My name is Akito, and these are my friends. Touga, Kuja, Juri, Utena, Miki, Ruka, and Saiyonji. It's a pleasure to meet you all."

Noname · **Reply #8013 on:** May 14, 2010, 02:01:52 PM

"Something dragged you off?" Lucien was a bit suspicious that they didn't tell him what this 'something' was. "What could possibly have diverted your attention to the desert? Whatever it is, you obviously survived it, otherwise, you wouldn't be here to tell us."

Chiletrek · **Reply #8014 on:** May 15, 2010, 06:40:36 PM

"Yes, it is very curious, but still very good that you were able to pass whatever test you had to take." - Heril said as he approached. - "And by looking at your faces, I can guess that no one of your group is missing, that is something good."

Kelassa looked at the Foxes. - "If any of you have any kind of injuries, I can treat them with no problems."

But Eriol remained silent, this group of Foxes has been very strange, some used Dark powers, that kind of power is known to him, but he doesn't like how this group come and go. - "Maybe you should try and join us to rescue Aerta, she is a key in the war against Dememoras so we'd really use your help." - he said while frowning a bit as he looked at each and every member of the returning group.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #8015 on:** May 15, 2010, 08:16:53 PM

Akito nodded.
"Of course. We'll do what we can. It's good to see you all again, friends."
He said with a bow.

Noname · **Reply #8016 on:** May 15, 2010, 08:23:23 PM

"We can talk about specifics later. I'll be very interested to find out exactly what distracted all of you in the desert during that battle, but that can be taken care of another time." Adykon was willing to wait a while to determine why many of his allies had just left, only to suddenly and mysteriously return later.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #8017 on:** May 15, 2010, 08:25:43 PM

Akito smirked.
"It wasn't a distraction...it was some sort of teleportation spell. We were in the city, then, the next thing we knew, we were in the desert."
He said, looking at Adykon.

Chiletrek · **Reply #8018 on:** May 15, 2010, 08:39:46 PM

"Teleportation?, then you say that you were taken out of the city in purpose?" - Eriol was surprised to hear that.

To that, Heril replied. - "Mass teleportation can be difficult, unless you have the enough power and experience. So we must be careful as we don't want that to happen again, it is far too risky." - the psyonic Dracon looked at Akito, but he didn't try to get into his mind, he was curious, but he made a promise, specially to Kelassa, to only scan the minds of enemies.

Noname · **Reply #8019 on:** May 15, 2010, 08:50:52 PM

"Hmm. The city of Minbenthac, like all our cities, is shielded against teleportation and many other long-range magical effects. Whoever teleported all of you out of the city must have been doing so from within the city walls. As to who it is... I have no idea." Vespion thought of some mages that he knew that had the ability to do such a thing, only to conclude that none of them were particularly suspicious.

Adykon wasn't sure what to believe, but he accepted the story on face value. If it was false, he would probably find out later. "It's okay, Akito. Are any of you Fauxen in need of rest or supplies? We can get some here."
