Enigma (Starting and Always accepting!)

[Forsaken Exodus]

Tulips formed by his sword and began crawling up the blade. He picked on and smeleed it. Smells beautiful. He held out his arm and his shard was dangling on his wrist. "They were after this. They chased me for about a couple miles."

Noah picked up a flower. Sadly, it died in his hands because of the darkness. He lowered his head. "Sorry," he said with his head low throwing the dead flower to the side.  

[Forsaken Exodus]

Exodus touched the plant and sent light magic through it, causing the plants to bloom. "Sorry for what?"  

[Sharkpups24]

Rin sheathed both swords since the shadows were eliminated, the subtle sparks dying off abruptly. The two that now arrived raised her cuirosity of what had just attacked them. It seemed that the shards and the odd gems that she, Noah and Victoria held were their target. The connection was made, but the only question left was why in the first place?  

[Omega Awesome391]

"Killing plant life," he said with his head hung low. He noticed that Rin was looking at him. "Can I ask what you are looking at, miss?" he said eyeing her slightly.  

[Forsaken Exodus]

Exodus walked towards Victoria, "And you might be?..." He held his hand out to her, smiling.  

[Sharkpups24]

"...Those shadows come after either those with crystal shards or the ones with gems like Victoria and you..." Rin's gaze shifted to Exodus, then Azumi and Victoria last. "...I wonder who exactly is controlling them and for what purpose it serves to attack us?"  

[Omega Awesome391]

Noah nodded. "Maybe it's to get the power these things haven given us." he said sternly.  

[Sharkpups24]

"Exactly..." Rin agreed, with a concerned, yet serious expression. Her mind was set on gathering information on this person and conducting a plan to prevent him from making these attacks. The first thing that came to mind was to head towards a village. There were bound to be people there who had something useful about the mystery person.  

[Forsaken Exodus]

Exodus sat down in the grass, "I still would like to know where the rest of mine went. I mean it's only a shard, and that means those shadows will be after the other people who have the other pieces."HE picked another tulip and smelled it.  

[Omega Awesome391]

"So, do we stick together or split up to find this person's identity?" asked Noah calmly.  

[Sharkpups24]

"It would probably make it a lot safer for all of us if we travelled as a group...But it would also make us a bigger target as well." Rin shrugged and looked at the others. "...What do you think?"  

[Omega Awesome391]

Noah shrugged at this. "Well, there were a lot of shadows in this fight. There may be more in the next fight. So, I vote that we move as a group." said Noah sternly.  

[Forsaken Exodus]

"It's true if we move as a group we'll be a bigger target, but we will be able to defeat more easily. On the other side we can move easier and cover more ground, but have no way of communication. Maybe a group would be better for now at least," Exodus stood up and grabbed his blade, placing it on his back.  

[Sharkpups24]

Rin grinned, at least two of the four agreed. Now all they needed to know was whether or not the other girls wanted to go. Hopefully they would join, since it had more benefits then simply going off on their own. Along that same line, the mind reader wondered what Musashi was doing. He had probably been attacked too, but she guessed that he was still okay.
