Welcome to Gaia! ::

He looked to the human asking questions about the relationship between the Mystics and the Order of shadows. He shrugged following the tracks. "They were allowed to be taken. Some time ago our people were attacked left and right for our gifts. We are along the lines of Elves, but while our magic is linked to this world it is not of it. Weaker and fewer in numbers then elves made us easy targets. The Order being one of the main hitters. They went to our council of elders and made an agreement. Some protection and no attacks from the Order in return for using our people for their own needs. The council found the offer un-refuse-able and allowed the Order to lay siege on some of our territories. Most were killed trying to fight back, others were eventually taken. Since then when others have escaped, if they have, our people sadly forsake them and report them when found only to return them back to the Order." He stated matter of factly. He looked ahead seeing the sky darkening and knew they would need to find cover soon. He took note of the scent in the air and wondered what may be ahead of them. "Use caution, there's something in the wind."

He didn't stop him though would consider the oddity of it. He knew more about the man who had taken her and wasn't sure a transmutation gift would cut it for him. He would wait till the other was out of sight before looking towards the one near him. "I'll be right back, Got to take care of business if you know what I mean." He said making his way from the makeshift shelter as if he were going another way. When he thought he was clear he would change his course and follow along the first man at a distance to let him do what he felt needed, yet close enough that if he needed help he could be there to help.

He stepped out from the shadows with a smirk. "Just here to back you up if it was needed. That is all." He said after a moment. He walked closer towards him noting the tracks. He could smell smoke in the air and tried to be optimistic that Jarell had stopped for a camp. "Look, I know Jarell. There's a reason the Order drafted him as a lackey. You could need help getting your friend back."

He shook his hand and nodded about the comment of the other. "Yes, well cowards do tend to survive longer, but are typically not known or well liked by others." He followed along the tracks pausing after some time. "You smell smoke?" He wasn't sure from the changing winds which direction it was coming from but didn't like the idea. He would keep going soon seeing a faint light ahead. "This can't be good." He said more to himself and started sprinting, but staying low just in case. As they would come to the source they would see what was left of a burning carriage, and also what was left of a human still burning to one side. "Your friend has to be near, this was the carriage they took her in." He paused looking to the burning bones. "I really hope this is Jarell."

Drake nodded and looked about the road not seeing any tracks beyond the wreckage. "Well If she did escape, she didn't use the road. I can't find any tracks." He said after a moment. He looked over the carriage seeing broken glass and wondered. He followed the patterns with a sigh knowing the girl could most likely be hurt. "It seems the tube she was in exploded. Check the shrubs along the area." He said after more inspection, then stood from where he was looking and started searching bushes.

He turned hearing the other and went by his side to see the girl. He nodded removing his cloak and wrapping her up in it. He would allow the other to carry her knowing they were friends, or so it seemed. He was glad a moment that this human wasn't the typical that ran from his kind, or worse. They would soon make their ways back to the camp as he noted the other still there sleeping. He simply shook his head and made a mental note to never count on that one. The other he was still undecided. He would watch him with the girl though just in case before deciding to keep guard of the area and give them time and space.

Drake would nod hearing the other but would continue in his watch. He wasn't sure if the girl would wake anytime soon given the wreck they found her near and what they could have done to her. Though he would look over her later if her condition didn't change.

It would be well into the following day before she would stir. She opened her eyes sitting up and rubbing the back of her hear feeling the bump or bruises. She looked around seeing Locke beside her sleeping and smiled, then noticed two others, one looking towards her awake.

"Was wondering if you were going to join us." He said in a whisper as he watched her wake. He motioned for them to take a short walk and waited till they were still in sight but could talk normally without fear of waking the other two. "The one beside you was worried. Odd for a human. In any case how are you feeling?"

Andy followed the other a bit then shrugged to his questions. "Why is that strange. He is like a friend to me. He keeps managing to get me out of trouble. I worry for him." She said looking back. She felt more awake then she had ever been but wondered now on things to come.
