As you turned the corner, the source of the fighting came into view. A mass of the strange goblin-looking yokai swarmed around a group of three people. Two wore armor standing between the horde and a familiar red head, who was clutching one arm, blood welling between her fingers. The two soldiers looked worse for wear as they used all of their strength to fend off their attackers. At the back of the group of small yokai stood a slightly larger one, humanoid in shape with red skin and small horns protruding from the temples of its ugly face. Seeming to hear your approach, it turned its gaze toward you and grinned.
An unspoken command and four of the goblins likewise turned toward you, brandishing rusted weapons.

As Kira took in the view of what was before him his first flash of emotion was rage, something that could be felt but was later suppressed by a void of emotion. Kira had to collect himself before charging into this kind of situation. His Lightning spell he had stored on his left hand started to spike eratically with a deep red color. As he stood his ground Kira mumbled under his breath,
Go... Swarming Hummibirds With that a series of lightning shocks started to erupt from Kira's hand and headed start towards the goblins. Using the extra mana stored in his hand Kira casted the Hummibirds a second time, making for two waves of Lightning hummingbirds heading straight for the group of goblins surrounding Karin's Party.
Kira looked at the goblins infront of him and glared letting his mana spew out of him to take the form of a black dragon like shape. Channeling his aggression and lightning mana into his sword Kira held the blade forward to aim at the four goblins in front of him and said, "...I do not have time for you small fry, So lets makes you vanish with the thunder clap!" With that Kira glared through the eyes of his helmet as he casted one of the new spells he learned from the lodge. A flash of lightning spewed forth from the blade draining Kira's mana supply incredibly to try and turn the four goblins into goo's of ichor and plasma. Though he hoped they wouldn't be able to dodge the Lightning spell he casted he didn't want to take a chance.
The last thing he did before starting to charge ahead to meet up with Karin and her party was using a little bit more mana to cast two lightning clones to help back him up.
Mana Bar: 290/420 -Swarm of humming birds x2 Earth Flash [casted as a A-rank] Lightning Clone x2
There wasn't much the goblins could do against the swarm of immaterial birds as the mana creatures crashed into them, delivering a lethal dose of electricity to a few, and driving off others. But the remaining creatures hardly seemed to notice, their desires set on the humans before them. As for the group facing you, they made no move to dodge the electricity that hit them in a wave dropping all of them temporarily.
Displeased by the course of events, the larger yokai's grin dropped into a scowl and it drew the blade from its side. Unlike the goblins, its was well maintained, showing perhaps it was of a higher rank than the simple fools around it. "You humans are starting to be a problem," it said, spitting each word as if the language was distasteful. Likely to your surprise, it shifted into a stance, legs apart and slightly bent at the knee, its weapon poised defensively before it. However, it did not move to attack.
Meanwhile, the remaining goblins converged on the scouting party again, but despite their exhaustion Karin's two guards seemed able to hold them off for the time being.

As Kira and his clones swooped in around Karin and her guards He looked around to see the situation around him. The little goblin horde around him seemed less to worry about but he didn't want to let his guard down. one...two..three... at least eleven goblins around him and the party and five small black icor patches made 16. Five down eleven- no twelve to go. Looking to Karin for a moment he smiled under his mask and said,
"Seems like you got yourself in a hot mess, eh Karin?... The little one was concerned you wouldn't make it back. So I came looking for yea. Glad I did" With that Kira looked on to the Big one with intensity. His Mana still spewing forth slightly but now it was more concentrated on his left eye in a ethereal blue green color.
As The Big one spoke and drew out its sword Kira Tilted his helmet covered head which made for a odd, and hopefully unsettling sight to the goblins around him. Kira figured he couldn't scare the big one, but it didn't hurt to try. As he sheathed his blade Kira focused on the Big Yokai before saying to his clones,
"Guys... Protect the others. Try the Horse Plan see if it will get these bastards to step away..." With that done and hoping his Clones would be able to protect the group from much more attacks Kira original step about three feet forward before charging storm based mana into his left hand. With the lightning clicking and chirping like a thousand birds Kira hoped a little it would make the Yokai either think twice about going in close combat or make him think Kira was going in for a melee attack.
As the charge was done Kira smiled under his mask and threw the storm based Mana towards the direction of the Yokai leader, Whether it hit the leader or not didnt matter to Kira so much as to get it within distance of him. When the Lightning projectile hit the next solid object, flesh, dirt, or stone, a sudden explosion that encompassed five meters within the point of impact. Using the explosion as his mark to go Kira Charged himself up and started to spew forth storm mana to create a field of electricity around him before running toward his target as fast as his legs would let him. As soon as he closed within his swords range Kira took one step more and then made his attack on the brute, "Cloud Style.." with a sudden flash like the lightning based spells he used before Kira quickly drew and slashed the target infront of him, "...Omotegiri"
Mana Bar: 180/420 Stamina Bar: 445/445 BP Bar: 450/450
[Actions Taken:
Used lightning grenade at A rank
Rank: X | Strength: X-1 | Speed: X+1 Description: A ball of lightning forms between the user's hands. With a simple throwing motion, the lightning ball is launched at an opponent. Upon contact, the ball will explode in a [1] meter radius per rank blast. The blast can cause up to second degree burns if struck directly, and cause stun or even paralysis to anyone within an addition [1] meter per rank beyond.
Charges Lightning Barrier
Rank: D | Strength: D | Speed: -- Description: While this spell only requires a single motion to cast, its rather taxing for the user. By quite literally venting Storm mana from the body the user creates an aura around them which, while no more then four inches in size, is filled with lightning. This forms an emergency shield of sorts to protect the user. Given its nature its ill advised to strike the user with hand to hand combat, as it will deliver a nasty shock, which can result in first degree burns and stun, which reduces the number of activations the opponent can make by one [1]. Can be maintained for half the original cost per post, and is dismissed by the seal.
around himself ,
attacks with Cloud style Front Slash
Rank: C Strength: C Speed: C Official Description: Quickly drawing a weapon, the user will unleash a cutting slash attack against the targets directly in front of her. Channels Chakra to increase the next weapon attack Strength moderately. The attack is capable of breaking light armor. Requires no hand signs
Chain Lightning- Passive |Chain Lightning
Rank: Passive | Strength: -- | Speed: -- Description: As the user grows stronger, they gain more control of their lightning. Once this training is complete, the user is able to chain their Storm and Lightning spells to [1] additional opponent within [5] meters, [1] time per post at no extra cost or activation. The chained technique functions as [1] rank lower in strength and speed against the additional opponent. Training takes [3] parts of a paragraph to learn. It can be retrained again when the user reaches B-rank to chain to [1] additional opponent at [2] ranks weaker. This second training takes [5] parts of a paragraph to learn. • Requires C-rank experience to learn, and then B-rank to upgrade.
Electric Resistance- Passive |
Rank: Passive | Strength: -- | Speed: -- Description: A passive skill that prevents the user from being harmed inadvertently from the creation of the lightning used in his or her own spells. A person who doesn't learn this skill will generally feel pain when performing their own lightning spells, whereas one who learns this ability tends to notice that minor shocks generally do not hurt them. Provides a half [.5] rank resistance to all lightning spells as well. • Must be trained up to the rank of the spell being used for immunity. • Does not take up a spell slot, but requires the Lightning element to learn.
Mist Vision- Passive |
Rank: Passive | Strength: -- | Speed: -- Description: The Mist Vision spell allows the user to see through heavy mist, steam, or any other condition caused by water in the air. This does not give the ability to see through smoke. The spell is passive and activates when the user's vision would otherwise be obstructed by mist. Does not work on smoke, or other non-water obstructive clouds.
Recovered from their initial shock the four downed goblins that you had skirted past got back to their feet and followed after you, joining the throng of yokai wanting to take a chunk out of the humans before them. If they were fazed by your intimidation attempt, it didn't show.
Karin smirked a bit, though it was more of a grimace thanks to her injury. "'Little one'? That kid was older than you and I combined before he woke up in this world." Her gaze dropped to the ground in front of her, where a body was visible now that you were close enough to see it.
Thanks to your electric shield, none of the small creatures could get close without delivering an intense shock to themselves, and all were caught off-guard by the grenade, including the larger yokai. But whereas several of the small fries fell to it, the leader still stood. And didn't look the least bit pleased. Eyes widening slightly in surprise, it dodged backward with incredible speed, putting it perhaps five meters away once more. Then, a crazed, sick grin spread across its face and it raised a hand skyward. From its palm, a ball of flame rocketed into the air, looking not unlike a flare. As it reached perhaps a hundred feet, it exploded.
Numerous fist-sized spheres of fire rained from the sky in the explosion's wake with no care for hitting friend or foe. They struck other goblins, causing those that remained to panic and flee, rolling in snow in an attempt to put out flames. One of the guards narrowly avoided serious harm, but an orb struck his back. He cried in pain, and then likewise panicked as his tunic was set ablaze. The other guard tried to help his friend.
Using the opening to its advantage, the leader shot forward, aiming a mighty slash at the second guard--or your clone, should it instead get in the way.

As Kira's slash was about to make contact he scowled as the lumbering yokai used some sort of technique to get away from the steel. Kira was thankful that at least his little barrier was working and that he thought he saw some damage dealt via his grenade. But that didn't seem to stop the Yokai in charge. Kira saw his crazy grin and a moment later him and the others in the area where they began being rain down upon by fire. Kira took his eyes off of the larger Yokai to look towards Karin and while he was a 'bit' concerned for the other two guards his focus was Karin. While Kira prime forgot about the Lumbering yokai and the raining fireballs it had created and who now was charging forth behind Kira Prime, Kira 1 looked on and was about to say something to Kira Prime before noticing the yokai wasn't targeting him but one of the guards.
Without much thinking Kira 1 Quickly side stepped into the path of the yokai charging to block its slash. This Kira would block the slash of the yokai with the side of his own weapon. However this was in vain as a small fireball landed on the clone which left Kira 2 barely enough time to spring board off of him before dispersing in a field of static that was once a human looking being..
Kira 2 looked on as the yokai charged his counterpart Kira 2 loked on and decided to attack the Yokai face to face. Quickly hurdling through the other party members, and narrowly missing three fireballs, Kira 2 jumped on Kira 1's back to jump barely in time and loosing much more of a footing to get onto the back of the yokai. Removing his helmet Kira's pale visage and red hair shined dully in the mountain air. Rearing his head back Kira 2 with his large canines bit into the yokai's neck to drain it of its mana reservoir. Whether he'd be able to do so with success was all in the manner of how much luck this clone could get as he tiried to bite down long enough for two fireballs to hit him making him electrically disperse like his counterpart.
Kira muscled through as a few fireballs landed on his front singeing his clothes slighting and directly on his back singeing the clothes and skin beneath it "Karin are you alright? You didn't get burned did you!?" Kira would look over her exposed body first before sighing and looked to the guards where Kira 1 and two where going at the yokai. Fearing what might happen at this point Kira Prime took a deep breath before removing his helmet and moved it infront of him before weaving a few signs and cried out, "Surround us with your glory and make a cage around my allies and repel my enemy GO, Lightning Cage!" Kira would then press his hands onto the hard ground and summoned forth a cage of red and blue shaded lightning surrounding the Kira Prime, Karin, and the two guards. Kira couldn't afford to extend it further than that.
Mana Bar: 160/420 Stamina Bar: 405/445 BP Bar: 450/450
[Actions Taken: Kira Prime runs to Karin's party and makes a Lightning Cage via Lightning Manipulation at c rank
Lightning Manipulation Rank: c | Strength: c | Speed: c Description: This control allows the user to create varied amounts of electricity. Electricity created by this spell can cause temporary numbness or even paralysis on contact. Not only can it take any form the user desires, but it can also be shifted around as if it were a part of their own body. It should be noted that one can only manipulate the electricity they themselves have made. Additionally, any electricity that is being freely manipulated is not very strong, and can be broken or blown away as if it were completely natural. Should be noted that spells can be made smaller while retaining their rank.
○ Rank E: Very small amount of electricity [static shock]. Can cause tingling and discomfort at contact point. Effects lasts one [1] post. ○ Rank D: Small amounts of electricity. Can cause pain and numbness at contact point. Effects last one [1] post. ○ Rank C: Medium amounts of electricity [a series of arcing bolts]. Can cause pain and numbness throughout body. Effects last one [1] post.]

The fireballs fell fairly quickly, and soon no more rained from the sky, but much of the area had been scorched
Struck by not one but two lightning clone dispersals, the leader was caught off-guard by the clone that landed on it. However, the bite itself did little, and in fact, in its brief moment of life, the clone would taste something foul and acrid rather than the metallic flavor of blood. Black liquid oozed from the wound.
With the clone gone, the yokai took a few steps back and watched in mild amusement as the group before it hid behind a lightning cage. In the distance, a mighty roar resounded, and the creature's ugly grin grew. "Ah, your foolishness will soon cost you your lives. And then? Your little village will be next."
Still holding up his companion, the guard that had managed to avoid catching fire, grunted. "We need to get out of here. With that flare, more will come." He glanced at Karin with a grimace. "I'm sorry we couldn't get what you were after."
She shook her head in response. "It's fine. This was a fool's endeavor anyway." She turned to you. "Thank you, I'll be fine. It's just a scratch." Her voice remained confident as ever, despite the blood dripping down her arm.
From seemingly nowhere, a jagged spike of some sort of black material slammed into the yokai piercing through its chest and, more specifically, a strange beaded necklace it wore around its throat. The spike retreated, tearing itself free from the creature's body, which crumbled away into nothing. At the other end of the spike was a young male with tanned skin and pale blonde hair that peeked out from beneath the hood he wore. He wore a tattered robe, into the sleeve of which the spike disappeared. He leapt down from the roof he stood upon, landing lightly--and unshod upon closer inspection--in the snow next to the splatter of hissing ichor that was all that remained of the yokai.
The boy turned to face the group, revealing faintly glowing yellow eyes in the shadow of his hood. "I would follow your companion's suggestion. More are on their way."

Kira looked on as the Yokai taunted them from across the electrical bars of his cage. He pondered what to do and hwo to acheive it. He briefly looked at the guardsmen with a bit of desperation and for a fleeting moment weighed the option of possibly draining the weaker one to refuel on his mana strength. However He quickly discarded the idea as it would condemn him not only in the villages eyes, but in Karin's as well. Then like some form of weird aroma Kira began to smell something.. delicious. His head turned slowly to Karin whose blood was dripping along her arm and his pulse began to beat with excitement.
If ever he was glad that he wore the helmet to cover his face it was now. His green eyes turned red for a moment and his two canines on the top of his skull slowly started to descend like stalactite's in a cave. He regained his composure swiftly when he heard the Yokai's flesh being torn at which point Kira turned his head back in front of him to see a younger man with a hood and tanned skin. As the yokai dispersed in black ichor Kira only looked on in disbelief. As the young man spoke about leaving the area Kira thought about for at least five seconds before nodding to the young man
"Thank you.. sir. Hopefully we will meet again in less... straining circumstances" With that he looked to Karin and dispelled his Lightning cage as he said to her, "I.. know you probably could do this on your own But it be better for us to move swiftly... so forgive me" Not a moment later Kira picked up the smith and laid her across his back. holding onto her legs he looked to the Guards and said "Keep up as best you can..I wont be able to stop to help you if you lag behind.. we have to make it back and get you all to a hospital." Kira didn't bother much in saying anything further. He knew that if he spoke his mind now he would get slapped. His priority was himself and the girl he was carrying, everything and every ONE else was no more than extra cargo that could be expended at anytime.. if it was his old self anyway.
As he held Karin tight to him he didn't say much more as he began to sprint towards the village making sure to give the guards a good pace to follow behind as they exit the outskirts

It took some time, but Liliya eventually made it to the outskirts of Tsukihara Hana. The travel time could have been decreased if she had used her mechs but the fact this was a stealthy type mission sorta forbade such a thing. Stealth was not a strong suit of the mighty ironblooded woman to put it simply, so as much as she would have like to snake around in the shadows to get this done it wasn't possible. What was possible though, was to play it in the incognito mode, to be there but not be there, to blend in. That, she should be able to do, at least it was what she was confident in. How would she achieve this you ask? Simple! Pulling the hood of her wolf fur cloak over her head and shoveling her hands into the clothing's pockets, Liliya would walk the snow-fallen trails looking like someone who was down and out, and lost while wandering on the fickle road of life. Sure she may have seemed humanoid even while covered up, but it was a universal instinct to avoid those not so well off looking, and hopefully this would be enough.

xxxxx Apparently somewhere in the explanation of the mission, Masako had missed the part about it being a stealthy operation as she came charging down the road after Liliya screaming out her name and waving her arms wildly in an attempt to get her attention. "LILIYA-KUN" Huffing and puffing rather heavily, Masako eventually reached Liliya and started to catch her breath. She wouldn't normally be this worn out but without their human pack-mule Lupus, Masako was actually forced to carry more than she usually did. Stashed safely under her lion's pelt was a small satchel stuffed to the brim with supplies and little knick-knacks.
"So where are we going? I tried to get Lupus to come but he is doing that thing where he doesn't move and just stands in the middle of the room like he died."
Chakra: 805/805 Stamina: 145/145 C Rank - Physician
Techniques Used: • •
Passive: • Saintly Presence: This ability borrows from Masako's ability to heal simply by touching. Combining her ability to heal on touch and the passive aura that she naturally radiates at all times, Masako emits a healing mist within the radius of her aura. This healing mist is relatively weak at E rank, only numbing small bruises and taking the sting off cuts. At every rank the healing power of the aura slowly increases. By B Rank, the aura can close cuts and heal minor sprains. This is not an instant heal but takes time and exposure to the aura to heal. This ability also enhances the feeling of safety and peace created by the aura, reducing the effect that techniques that cause fear or terror by 1/2 rank. • Forest Princess: Everywhere Masako goes, she passively creates small amounts of plant life, even on surfaces that would normally not support it, such as metal or stone. This cannot be used to grow plant matter on objects created by an opponents own mana. This skill in essence allows Masako to have a source of natural materials at all time. This only creates small amounts of flora such as a patch of grass or a few flowers. • Forest Princess II: Masako's ability to speak with sprites and other friendly spirits is partially expanded to animals. While she cannot directly communicate with animals, she can convey thoughts and feelings to them. This makes animals and other similar creatures less likely to attack her. This can also be used to limited effect to communicate with An Teaghlach with varying degrees of success. • Inexplicable Luck: Once per battle or once every 4 posts outside of combat, Masako experiences a brief moment of inexplicable luck where whatever she attempts has a greater chance to succeed or increases the yield of an action. This action can also manifest in the form of actions, such as being able to dodge an attack that would normally land, etc. This also grants Masako a guaranteed chance to always gather at least 1 item per attempt even at a 0 skill level. • Human Potential: Masako gains an additional Discipline Point at C Rank. • Truth is Stranger Than Fiction: Often times in the pursuit of the truth, Inquisitors find themselves in the wackiest of places. It has often been said that truth can be stranger than fiction and this is no exception. At any time during any encounter, there is a chance for the encounter to become a "Wacky Encounter" which drastically changes the environment or NPCs in the area, often with hilarious results. This is randomly triggered by the DM as they see fit. Wacky Encounters generally include loot or items that would otherwise be unobtainable and always give at least one [1] item to the party, whether or not the item is useful is another matter. Wacky Encounters can be anything from discovering a random traveling circus in a dungeon to fighting a horde of cannibal dwarfs wearing dresses. The sky is the limit. • Divine Innocence: At all times, Masako radiates an aura of pure innocence and peace. This aura makes it all but impossible to want to attack her. Even if an individual were able to overcome the effects of the aura, all of their abilities used against Masako would be reduced in strength by one rank. The aura comes with a catch however. As with all medical professionals, Masako is sworn to do no harm and as such, she cannot attack while the aura is up unless an attack of C-Rank or higher is targeted against her, and only within 2 posts of the offending attack. After this two post timer, the aura is once again at full power and must be re-triggered. • Saint: The Saint path grants the ability to heal with a touch, something relatively rare in the Path of the Medic. No handsigns, no magic circles, no rituals, just a touch to activate. The Saint is granted one [1] spell per Experience Rank, beginning at E - rank, that can be used without paying a cost. This is specific to Healing spells that have a positive effect. If, instead, the effect is Negative in nature, these Spells can be used at only half cost [1/2] without any weakening in strength or viability. The Saint gains an automatic aura that generates feelings of peace and safety (for those who favor positive, beneficial effects) or unease and danger (in those who favor negative, destructive effects). This aura can be suppressed and is not a technique in and of itself, instead merely being an outward manifestation of their dispositions. In other words it cannot force reactions, but can definitely influence them. • Researcher: Knowledge is power, and the Researcher represents the Path of those who truly understand that. A specialist in finding information in the most difficult of places, the Researcher is a master of the written word, able to crack codes and written/drawn riddles with equal ease. Some items defy knowledge and require a Decryption score to learn their secrets, ranging in scale from zero [0] to five [5], with the former representing anything that doesn’t currently have a score. Through research that takes one [1] post for every two [2] Encryption ratings, the Researcher is able to crack these secrets. Alternatively, they may use their own knowledge to Encrypt things, making it near impossible to break. The Researcher is able to Encrypt/Decrypt up to Level One [1] at D – rank, and the level increases for every experience Rank they possess. Furthermore, depending on the Researcher’s original choice, Illusions, Arcanist Spells, or other abilities that hide the truth of the written or artistic form will be one [1] rank less in strength when viewed by a researcher, with any spell they know gaining one [1] rank in strength if used to obscure. In favor of this, the Inquisitor gains four [4] Arcanist and Illusion spells per Experience Rank, though it must deal with either obscuring or revealing things.

[ T ]he southern side of the town led out into a forest broken only by the cracked blacktop of an ancient walk way. To each side beautiful evergreens stretched, their canopies beginning nearly twenty feet up that stood over very little in the way of underbrush. Yet that did not mean there was barren earth below, no! In fact there was a strange, otherworldy grass that grew in waves, with a dark, blue color at the base that bore a gradient up it's step and to the tip where it became a bright red. These blades of grass wagged from side to side in the breeze, and darting here and there an observer might see even odder colored animals that seemed quite close to being cousins for animals from the older world. tab The sound of hooves on ancient tar left quite a loud report to the silence brought on by the cold weather. There were still natural sounds of animals, but it was muted, as if a whisper could cause a landslide that all naturally avoided. Yet Zuu kept her eyes turned to everything, and her nose turned to the wind to catch even the barest hint of anything foul. All she'd caught so far were dear, or whatever passed for them here, and something that smelled ursine, though she could tell it was placid at best, annoyed at worst, and definitively outside of their current reach. Turning her eyes to Kaileer who led the way she considered best what to do in their travels. Singing was a passtime, but going into the unknown wasn't exactly something to grace the theaters over at the moment. So instead she watched the blue girl, who hovered beside Kaileer as they rose, her expression bemused as she toyed with his hair to keep herself busy.

Pulling up the rear, Meissa found she had a wonderful opportunity to organize her thoughts without any of her fellows watching her. Not that she was going to; there was no point in organizing something that hadn't settled yet. That would be like trying to stack a house of cards on a swaying ship. She'd leave that for whenever she had started settling into her new life.
This area was very different from the sand dunes she was used to. In fact, she couldn't place any time she'd seen this particular range of colors occurring naturally in one place. She sent a few mana beads out and embedded them in the plants to analyze them. Mostly, she was curious about what information they'd yield on living things. While she was at it, she sent one up to Nok, though she didn't immediately embed it.
"Nok, may I?" she whispered at the snakelike being floating just above her head.
Very well. For the time being, I shall accept all of you. May it grant you insight and inspiration in equal measure. Compared to back in the city, the sprite's tone was much more subdued. It almost seemed agitated, Meissa noted as she sunk the bead into it.
As they continued to ride, Meissa called back the beads she'd stowed in the plants and immersed herself in observing her surroundings. Aside from the occasional odd animal, there wasn't much to keep track of. Still, her shinobi training kept her vigilant. She pushed her senses out further, trying to take in more of her surroundings in the hopes that some of her old training would come back. It didn't, but she did experience something rather odd: her sensory input multiplied more than a dozen times over. What was more, it felt like the area was spinning. She had half a mind to call out, but stopped. She could see her hands in some of the additional sources of input. As calmly as she could, she reached over and grabbed one of the beads orbiting her head. One of the sources went dark.
Sensory extension was by no means novel, so she wasn't particularly surprised that was what was happening. More so than that, she was curious as to how and why she had gained this ability. She was never a sensor in her previous life and she didn't recall ever learning a technique that would allow this. For now, she decided to cut off input from all but a few, which she would keep pointed in the cardinal directions around her.
There was a disparity in the amount of input coming in from the various beads. Switching them off made it all the more obvious that one of them was sending back vastly different sensations than the others. It didn't take her long to track down which bead it was, at which point she reached up and put a hand on Nok's chin. She felt the warmth of her hand from that bead, which clinched it.
This is a first, the young lady thought to herself, tucking her hand into her robe to warm it up.
For me, as well, Nok responded, its voice washing through her mind. This is quite preferable to your usual manner of communication. Much more natural than tormenting the air as your kind seem to enjoy.
I'm not entirely sure what's going on here, to be honest. I'll have to meditate on this later. What are all these... flavors, as they're coming across? Something smells terrible, too. Are you picking up the smell of dead animals? Meissa found conversing silently to be an incredibly useful ability, but she wasn't sure it was worth all of the sensory input coming from her companion. Chewing on old shoe leather was more pleasant than some of what was coming across.
The "flavors" would be emotions. Of you, your fellow humans, that youngling up front, the animals, and so on. The serpent turned to face everything it mentioned, causing the emotional flavor profile of each to briefly flare up. After that, it swiveled to face a "smell" from somewhere off to the right. That, and the others like it, is a being of violence.
Evidently done with its explanation, Nok swiveled again to face forward, its tail drifting off into the clouds overhead. Meissa drew her lips taut and started silently running calculations. Based on how quickly the foul "odors" were moving relative to her group, they had to be quite a distance off. Some were a few kilometers away, in fact. Should she speak up? They didn't seem to be actively drawing closer.
"Nok's detected a few Fades. Closest is about half a kilometer out, 3-o'clock. None is moving toward us." she reported aloud.
Current Goal: Riding through a picturesque forest on an hoat.
Clothing: Reinforced Clothing (D-Rank, Scale 5/5), Weather Clothing (includes a white cloak) Weaponry: Senbon x30 (in a bundle on her belt, below her backpack) Backpack:
As they rode onward within the outskirts Kira kept his guard up more so than usual. Keeping his head on a swivel He couldn't help but wonder where the next ambush might occur. He knew that this area was more agitated, especially in his mind where he had just been here the day before hand helping a group of scouts. As they marched on there... It was then and there Kira looked at the steed below him and turned his head to the right side like a curious bird or dog. His attention was divided for the split second to think of a name for these creatures. He knew that everyone else was calling them 'Horses' but to Kira horses didn't seem to match. The rich brown curled horns and shaggy fur reminded him of a mountain ram but the stature and physical build reminded him of the large set horses of the previous times past. Ram and horse... ram and horse... Well to him a ram was just a large goat So the question was what would be a good mix of that?
It was soon then of the name that was perfect that Meissa heading up the rear did she alert them to some fades at the 3 oclock position. Kira's gaze turned toward that way as he tried to listen to any noises from the direction in question.
"Well if thats the case we should hurry the Hoats along quickly to try and outpace them. I dont feel like getting bucked off and die by hoat... Generations of storytellers would never let me live it down" Kira soon after started to push the Hoat a bit faster but still maintaining a healthy distance from The person in front of him so as to keep together.

❝ Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house, but I put it out of my mind... ❞
[Location:] Tsukihara Region - City Outskirts
The stallion was testy at best but more or less went in the direction I wanted him to go. I imagine breaking him wasn't an easy task. But still, he didn't throw me off and seemed to hold a reluctant respect for me. So we plodded our way up the mountainside in to the forest north of town that held the outer remnants of Tsukihara's outskirts. I remained quiet as the others spoke softly behind me, doing my best to ignore Fiorzia messing with my hair. When she wasn't directly playing with it, she would send puffs of air through it to make it fall into my face.
It wasn't until Meissa spoke up enough to get my attention that I paused and looked back, taking the distraction to sweep my hood up over my head, and then turned in the direction she'd mentioned. Kira responded by suggesting we hurry the 'hoats' along so that the likely patrolling yokai wouldn't cross our path. Hoats? The hell? I suppressed a scowl, although I was fairly certain the swordsman couldn't see my expression. "I agree. We shouldn't be too far from the site." I nodded up the mountainside to where a small bundle of ruined, overgrown houses sat.
---------
It was then that Nok would pick up a change in the aforementioned Fades--in the form of that closest one vanishing, and something that dripped with corruption but still felt strangely human, took its place. Whatever it was then dashed northward/

[ N ]ose turned to the wind as Nok shifted and twirled above Zuu barely caught the edge of a scent trail about the same point Meiassa spoke up. Closing her eyes she leaned forward towards the main of her own horse, pressing her forehead against the mare's neck as she calmed her thoughts, ignoring the heat of her blood and the creak of bones as her internal clock wound day after day towards its next calling. Pushing the phase of the Moon and its current phase out of mind, she delved deeper, focusing upon her nostrils, focusing on her senses as she traced the scent trail. How she could do this was a mystery, yet it appeared less so to the part of her that registered it as it moved by instinct, processing the input and creating an output of vivid colors and scents, painting an image in her mind's eyes that wound backwards, tracing the scent to its origin. tab Back towards a nearby creek, where it had rested on its laurels, washing its mouth of the filth it had tasted from its previous hunt, the fetid scent of Corruption staining its existence. Yet another scent, similar but different, stained the waters that fell from its jaws and defined its teeth, defined the mandibles that lay there and the origin of its emotional state: tabGluttony. tab The clicking of its jaws were almost audible, as were the nervous way it shifted as it moved backwards, wandering back the way it came, regaining the limp it had lost as its prey rose in an inversed scream to meet it in battle. Rage, white hot gave way to an angry red, large in size and scope. An Oni, battling what amounted to a mix between a hound and a preying mantis. Nearby, maybe six hundred yards, twisting and turning as it fought across a field torn by their passing and their violence. tab Stopping, Zuu dismissed the past from her search, severing its current playback. The history mattered not, but the future? Aye, there lie the prize! Reaching into that selfsame part of her being that did this for her she inched along its present, winding to and fro and is searched for prey. For kilometers it skittered, taking moments to bury...something within the grass and snow, the scent of which was a mix of dung and corruption that made her believe it was what remained of the Oni from before. Forward it walked, marking its trail, scratching at trees to mark a territory that, until then, she hadn't suspected they'd have. It paced at times, lingering, before it perked up and ran, fleeting, running towards...? tabDeath. tab Inhaling sharply Zuu's head jerked back as she rose from her crouch, her hands snatching at her saddle to steady herself as she came free of her trance. What was this inhuman power she'd gained? Her nose and eyes, sharp as they'd been from her previous life, paled in comparison to what she could do now. It was almost a sixth sense, though specifics such as surroundings fell away from her, yet that in and of itself was eerie at best, terrifying at worst. For it was quite obvious that if she could do it than so could others, which made this entire world a more alien place than the one she'd grown up in. tab Reaching behind her she took the bow she'd clipped there from its spot and tested the string as she nervously cast her gaze about, lest she become too wary of the distant threat that she lose sight of the here and now. "A Fade o' the Glut marked its path cross 'ere," she began, some level of nerves touching her voice as she explained. "Ah can track it fer a bit, but...it met an end. I know nah wat be killin' the beasty, but it reeked o' death, an' end, and tha Glut not be long fer tha world if'n it nah be dead ahready!" Turning to Kaileer she pointed towards the distance, likely the same place Nok had also just registered a change. "It be tha' way fer certain, a few kilometers at best." That same nervous energy caused her fingers to tremor just the slightest before the tips of those digits graced the fletching of an arrow, stilling instantly as she drew the arrow from its quiver and left her silvered sword with its canine-paw pommel and red leather grip where it lay at her back. Notching, she gripped the bow with the head of the arrow above her knuckles, leaving one hand to control the horse by reins until they drew near the monstrosity, and the danger that likely followed it.
