Through Darkest Knight

[Masamune 5.0]

'An Etzale... a shadow demon... a demon... but I don't feel anything...' Mirado thought to himself, rubbing the silver ring on his finger. His train of thought was broken by Alpheus's question.

"You're heading for the village. The one that was attacked. That's why I'm following you." Mirado's eyes narrowed, focusing on the Etzale.

Constance had hugged the tree to avoid the flame. Interesting... she thought. Not often I see an Etzale, though I have known them before. But that fire, I can place..." She smiled. I have one worthy little victim...

"Well, always good to have a companion I supposse. And what business might you have at the attacked village might I ask?" Alpheus said.  

[Masamune 5.0]

"Like you need to ask?" Mirado smirked. "The Knights of Exemplar, of course..."  

[Demonix13]

"Ah yes, the legendary crusaders. Trust me friend, they're about as holy as a Naga. Which is to say, not very. Not that I have anything against Nagas of course, they're wonderful people but you get the idea." said the young Etzale.
"What business do you have with the Knights? You wouldn't happen to know them, would you?" Alpheus asked.  

[demonofwhite]

How interesting... Constance was amused. She liked seeing people talk. It gave her insight on their lives, their quests, their fears... "Well," she said out loud, "They are by far more holy than me." She hung upside down from her branch and looked down at them.

"What?" Mirado was taken aback by the sudden appearance. And what's more is that Mirado began to sense a strange feeling. It was unpleasant, but tolerable.

Mirado glared up at the newcomer. "And who are you supposed to be?"  

[demonofwhite]

"Your best dream or your worst nightmare." She giggled. "But, if you wanted a name, I go by Constance. Pleasure to make your aquantance." She laughed.  

[Demonix13]

"Constance, hmm?" The Etzale pondered. "I feel bad for you. I'd hate to be so consistent that my very name was constance. Although they say never to judge a book by it's cover."

"Now, why don't you come down from that tree, so we can get organized." And with that, Alpheus focused on the limb Constance was hanging from. He then transmogrified the branch, rearranging it into a brittle, rotten twig.  

[demonofwhite]

Constance smiled and jumped down from the tree, doing three flips in mid air and landing gracefully on her feet. "Now, young ones, what game shall we play first?"  

[Masamune 5.0]

Mirado's glare did not move from Constance. His eyes followed her from the treetops down to where she now stood. Mirado slowly curled his hands into fists. He was silent and his gaze was unbroken. "Make a move."  

[demonofwhite]

Constance gave him a sideways glance. "Oh? My little toy chooses to chalenge me? I don't like fighting. It's not a game, is it? If you want to chanlenge me, it will have to be in a game." She giggled. "I am undefeated. Wanna play?"  

[Masamune 5.0]

"First off, don't call me your toy. Second, I don't have time for games... Following this Etzale here already wasted enough of my time." Mirado turned his back to Constance and the Etzale. "The Knights are on the move."

Mirado then continued walking the northern path towards the village.  

[Demonix13]

"And how would you know that, hot-hands?" asked Alpheus tauntingly. "Well, I'm going that way anyway, so you're stuck with me. At least until we reach the village."  

[Gredar]

Marten watched the group from his place along the path. Though he was not hiding, he knew the assorted humanoids could not see him through the veil of magic around him. It was a curious group, Mirado he recognized (I'm assuming this takes place after the main rp), and then an Etazle and a... something. It definitely wasn't human, but beyond that he wasn't sure. He stepped out from under his magical blind, following the group for a few seconds before speaking. "He's right though. I just came from the village and they're already gone."
