"Well it's been what, about five years when rumors of that one chick being alive again is about the time people were like 'ah my gawd' about listening to the call to follow her. Kraft had came up with some crazy crap, like soul notes. You know how hard it is to get laid when a women don't wanna have to buy new ones just for a night of fun?" Grabbing the fish Hiro kept talking. "Name's Hiro, was once called the ladies man, but Kraft messed it up. I see them quite a bit, learned what berries to eat and what ones to avoid. But deer is getting blan, rabbit can't even feed the small group I ran into, let alone just one of them. I had bear as a kid and was it good, plus think of all that hide, bad ass outfits can be made.
"Dressing up like a bear would be fun wouldn't it? Also I never caught your name." Hiro could tell by the way he spoke he wasn't from a city. He wasn't able to read his movements due to that, too unpredictable.

Saturos laughed. "You're an interesting person, you know that?" he chuckled, putting a finger to his forehead. "They call me Saturos. I've been traveling the world, living out in the middle of nowhere for, oh, 8 years or something."
Saturos finished his fish, then grabbed a large bag sitting a foot away from him. It was made of leather, old, and weathered. "I've eaten a fair amount of bear, but I prefer the flavor of fish." He pulled out a ivory colored flute. It was polished smooth and carved with markings emblazoning the sides. He showed it to Hiro and twirled it in his fingers. "I carved this from the horn of a Sacaen deer. Those tend to be skittish devils, so catching one with a sword was hard." He put the flute up to his mouth. "Care for a tune?"

"Look, over there" he whispered, as a snow-white blur passed in front of them. Gabriel and Errol were right behind the small bunny. Sure, it was only one, but that was better than nothing at all.
"Let's try a pincer attack" Gabriel said, as he moved over to the left of the animal, hiding low behind the bushes. He raised his hand a bit and started chanting. Don't fail me now...
Fiery gates of the underworld, open thyself and let your flames purge this world... Gabriel looked over at Errol, as the bunny had come to a stop. He gave him a nod, as if saying "whenever you are ready".

Late-morning; 11:15, deep in a forest.
Alphonse looked up at the trees, the sunlight gleaming through the branches. He looked around at the forest, it was dead silence. Alphonse looked back at Shadow, who had been following behind him ever since they entered the forest. Alphonse shot Shadow a bright smile and turned back around looking straight.
Alphonse stopped himself, putting a hand up for Shadow to stop. He used his staff to move some branches in front of him and laid his eyes upon what was a clearing, not just a clearing, one that looked like someone had been in it; there was a smoldering fire in the middle of it, the grass was dry; no dew, and... Alphonse froze looking down at a person that was laying down right in front of him the the clearing. He turned around to Shadow, not knowing what to do.

On Gabriel's cue, Errol had taken position on the animal's right and started conjuring an attack. the moment before the flames would come into existence in his hands he nodded back, signaling the attack's start.
Errol quickly made the gestures to give the Fire spell the shape of a small arc, rather than a simple fireball as he sent it off. Hopefully, this would increase the chance of the blow actually hitting the rather small target.

Shadow was silent the whole time the two were walking. This might have been uncomfortable for Alphonse, but to Shadow, this was normal. He always traveled in silence. In silence, and with his hood on. This made Shadow look intimidating. However, this didn't seem to be the case, as Alphonse flashed him a grin. Once Alphonse had turned around, Shadow drooped his head for one bit, and sighed. In total, Shadow was annoyed.
When Alphonse raised his hand, Shadow stopped. He could see a clearing ahead, but perhaps there was something there. Shadow, standing in place, tried moving his upper torso to the side a bit, to see why Alphonse was taking a precaution. He soon saw an area where there was a fire. Shadow also saw a sleeping girl. He stood back up just in time to see Alphonse's worried face look back at him.
Shadow wanted to play this safe. He knew that if both he and Alphonse went in there, it could go either way (being a bad or good situation). If he alone went in there, it would be bad. However, if Alphonse, being the nice priestly guy he is, went into the clearing alone it would be better. So, Shadow gave notions with his hands to go into the clearing. He ended the notions with one that meant 'I'm watching you', then followed by a thumbs up. Shadow added a light smile, just so it didn't look fake.

Several trees behind Shadow,Morgoth hid behind a tree.Several hours earlier he had been trying not to look so ominous by changing his voice,tone,and appearance but couldn't get the malice out of his voice."He may be good enough to teach me"he whispered to himself as he messed with the folds of his cloak.How am I going to get to him without scaring him to deathMorgoth thought to himself, silently chuckling about the word death.He then came out of his hiding place and slowly walked towards Shadow,making enough sound for him to hear yet not enough for the others to hear.

Papilion was awake when he saw some guy near the clearing. He wasn't sure but he thought there was another guy behind the stranger as well. Papilion didn't hesitate to get up and grab his lance. After gaining his balance he glared at the strangers. "If you mean us no harm you will not advance farther."
"Just my luck. The moment everyone leaves some people come." he thought.
During his stance he inched toward Jya so he could wake her up if need be.

Not quite as skilled as Errol, Gabriel simply hoped that the spell would work. A small flame burned in his hand. Not quite a sphere, like would be normal, but it should do. Seeing the nod, he threw his fireball as well, hoping that it would strike the target. Errol's firewave hit the bunny directly, causing it to move a bit to the left, from Gabriel's position. That was the sole reason Gabriel's fireball hit, as his aim had been terrible.
Seconds later, the bunny lied on the ground, most of it's fur having been burned off. "Poor thing. I still feel bad for them, even after having eaten them for a full week", Gabriel said, approaching their victim.
"It's still not midday. We should see if we can find something else and then go back to the camp"

Alphonse was surprised to see a large figure getting up telling him to turn around. I could I have not seen that thing before. Alphonse walked forward with the most clam face he could. "Please stranger, I mean no harm," he said walking into the clearing. The sunlight shined off of of Alphonse' attire with a sort of gaudiness. Alphonse tried to examine the fat-man but the sun was too much in his eyes, so he raised his arm above his eye's let them adjust to the shade.

"I care to take the flute if anything, those things are worth a pretty penny." Hiro thought. "Not really, but do you have any rope to spare?"
"He's lived with them... low lives. He maybe indeed be one, if he is then his sword skill are too quick for me to avoid. But if I could get him in my debt.... But that's only if it's true what they say about them."

Shadow had heard a voice from the clearing. He took a step back, making sure he wasn't seen by whomever was speaking to Alphonse. Shadow needed to stay out of sight for now. Once his priestly friend could convince the man he was friendly, then he could come out.
There was a quiet rustle of something behind him. It could have been an animal, but what he heard sounded most like steps from a person. Shadow quickly turned around to see a young man with dark hair and strange red eyes. He was shorter than Shadow, and more creepy than intimidating. Shadow furrowed his eyes brows in suspicion, but it wouldn't matter. The man could not see his eyes when he had his hood on.
As Shadow examined the man, he could see there was something different about him. Whether he was dangerous, or he was just some stalker, it was obvious he wanted something. Shadow slowly moved his darkly clothed arm towards his tome in his cloak. Other than that, no words came from Shadow. He was prepared to fight.

Morgoth saw Shadow reach for something,and smiled.Not today he thought."I'm not hear to hurt anyone,I'm looking for someone to teach me" he said in the nicest voice he could muster.He then dug his tome out and said,"Found this in an abandoned house, and did a couple things."Morgoth smiled about the 'things'."I heard about you and thought you could help.Or more like I felt I should come here and here you are."He doesn't look tough,but he's better than me so I'll endure he thought as he took a cautious step towards Shadow.

"I agree. Still, we should hurry back once we've found something. We still need to decide on a plan for the future." Errol said, recalling the aimlessness he started feeling since he left Delphia.
"You know," he suddenly spoke up, "I don't think guilt is a completely bad thing. The only people who can never feel it are either so purely good that it is impossible for them to do anything they could feel bad about, ...or so purely evil that they do not care who or what they harm."

"I guess. Thanks."
The mages wandered around the forest for another half an hour, having caught two other bunnies. "I've been feeding off these things since I came here a week ago. It's a wonder there's still this many" Gabriel said after they had caught the third one.
Ten minutes passed as they kept looking, to no avail. "They must have gone hiding. I think it's time to go back. Let's hope that Hiro had some luck hunting."
