THE FORBIDDEN WOODS

[xZechsx]

He saw the portal in the distance, and walked through it

Atrocity

The portal gave a light-less flash, and Tyr is tossed roughly out of it. The moment of re-apearing, Ryler released the demons arm and leapt into the sky, managing to stay up, circling jsut under the tree line. The kestrel couldn't help but let out a few distressed screetches as he watched Tyr tumble in a heep on teh ground.

The hybrid groaned, pain coursing through his entire body, making it almost impossible to move. His nerves were flaring with agony, and everytime he managed to think about moving, it seemed to get worse. There was obviously no physical indications of injury, and aside from the demons clentched and grinding teeth and the furr on his tails standing on end, there was no way of telling he was in pain.

it took a few extra minutes, but Sy and K'Tathi were shot out of the portal after the hybrid and the hawk. Sy tumbled head over heels on teh ground, landing in a heep just ahead of Tyr, and K'Tathi had copied Ryler's actions of leaping into the air as soon as they'd re-appeared.

After groaning at the impact of face-on-ground, Sy sat up, shaking his head and rubbing his sore spot lightly. he mumbled a slew of cuss words under his breath and glanced around, checking where he'd landed. He notted the two birds, and then the hybrid.

"..Hey, are you alive?"

K'Tathi had perched in a tree above the Counts head and was in teh process of watching Tyr. She chirped lightly, and answered Sy's question. ::He is, but that portal did a good job on him. dont expect a co-herent responce for a few more minutes, Young Master.::  

[Atrocity]

(( nngh... so i'm suposed to be going to the health unit to update some stuff of mine buut here i am. <3 ))

The kestrel hawk was still circling the small clearing infront of the portal, glad that Sy had found his way here, but worried enormously about the hybrid. It wasn't often when Ryler couldn't mindtouch Tyr, and to him, that was something almost like death.

it took just about as much time as K'Tathi had predicted before Tyr could manage to actually be coherent enough to notice anything around him, much less move. Now that his sences weren't flaming in agony, he heaved himself up slowly and just sat, very still. ".......... Never, ever, again."

::Kitty!!!:: screamed Ryler from above, and the hybrid physicaly drew back at the sudden intrusion of high pitched words in his throbbing head.  

[Cartography]

Sy winced away from Rylers shout to, but he didn't do so as much as Tyr had. ::Ryler, calm down a little. Tyr has head-hurt. be gentle.:: he mind sent to the kestrel gently, in a way to show him what he ment. He turned his attention away from the bird, and to the hybrid. "Sorry about that, i forgot what magic did to you. Do you need anything?"  

[Atrocity]

"Need anything." the hybrid repeated with an obviouse chuckle, althought, laughing made his head throb all the more. "What i need is a replacement... everything! Gods. I'm going to make a little cabin here, and never leave this place... i'll eat off the land and make friends with the animals..."

Okay, so Tyr was ranting about insane things that really had no meaning, but his body was throbbing in ways that only magic could cause. You knew you were in pain when you tried to think, and your brain was electrified.

Ryler had gone and perched himself near K'Tathi, and was currently keeping quiet. Sy's warning had apparently hit home, and he understood enough to keep whatever words he had to himself.  

[Cartography]

Well, Sy was satisfied now, knowing that the hybrid was fine, at least mentaly. Physicaly, he was probably still hurt, or hurting. When they were done in this place, it was going to be really hard to drag Tyr back through the portal. "Right. i can just see you living in a shack with little animal friends."

K'Tathi bobbed her head a little and mindsent a chuckle as she watched the two. ::He gets along well enough with Ryler; making friends with other simple minded creatures shouldn't be too difficult for him...::

And the count couldn't help but chuckle at a comment like that, but he didn't put in his two cents. " anyways... Can you stand up, or what?"  

[Atrocity]

K'tathi's mind voice echoed in his head, causing it to numb a little, and sting in places. he wanted to yell at the stupid bird for making fun of him, again, but yelling would probably hurt to much. So instead he grumbled a reply to Sy's question. "Yeah... i supose i can." as if to solidify that account, he climbed slowly to his feet, woobling just a little before re-gaining his balance. both his tails were level with teh ground; without them, he would have fallen flat on his face.  

[Cartography]

Sy watched Tyr stand from where he was sitting, then hauled himself up to, dusting himself off, and action purely done out of habit. "Alright, you can stand up, how about walking?" he held out one arm and K'Tathi swooped down carefully from her branch and grabbed the leather bracer, steadying herself with her wings until she was sitting, well balanced, on Sys forearm.

K'Tathi cooned a little, nipping at some feathers in her wings, all the while chuckling ::If he falls, i'm sure you'll be there to catch him, young master.:: Just the implication the the owl was making were enough to make Sy give his arm a good shake. By the way she spread her wings at the movement, she hadn't been expecting that, and understood the actions meaning.  

[Atrocity]

Tyr rolled his eye (( LMFAO that always gets me. )) and shook his head at teh Owl. If anything, K'Tathi was more of an irritance than anything else. Stupid bird... Super Inteligent or otherwise. "Shut up, You brainless bird." and in responce to the guestion possed by Sy, he took a few steps then stoped. He crossed his arms and made a cocky sounding "Hmph." as if to say 'No magic portal can incapasitate me.'

"Are you happy? can we start looking around here now?"  

[Cartography]

Sy couldn't help but snort at that. "Yes, the very idea that you will retain your mobility for years to come makes me tingle with joy." He rolled his eyes and shook his head, turning his attention to the owl perched on his arm. ::Now, K'Tathi, dear, would you mind doing some distance scouting for us? Check and see if we'll be lucky enough to meet some locals?::

The Owl clicked her beak a few times, stretching out her wings. Her talons flexed against the leather covering the Counts arm, but never peircing it. ::I supose i can; but from the feel of this place, i highly doubt we'll run into any savages.::

He kept his responce to himself and gave the owl a boost, launching her into the air where she circled a few times under the branches of the trees, then k'Tathi disapeared above.  

[Crimsonknight13]

The portal activated as Feame walked out. It was a good day in the woods, but something was off. He soon found out what when he took a few steps from the portal, and was tackled by a cat-race child, looking over to see what it was, "Kaharizan?!"

The little cub child jumped up and down in joy, "Its you! I told you, though...call me Tumble! Whatcha doin, here, anyway?"  

[Atrocity]

Tyr watched the wretched owl fly off to do something along the lines of a scout, and he couldn't help himself but mumble a reply akin to "Savages aside from yourself..." He sighed and gave both his arms a stretch; each cracking just a little as he did so.

"Well, on with our little trek through the woods. It wouldn't hurt the Fates to throw us into a populated city, would it? I mean. rolling in a desert for a few days, then tumbling into a dark and dank tree filled area; i'm starting to feel dirty. Lets find a big pool. A hot pool, is that to much to ask for? I'd like a nice, warm place to bathe; a little waterfall would add to the relaxation part i'm trying to get at too... You think we can find something like that? With soap? i can feel grim and all that good stuff making a home, and layering on my skin. Its an unplea-"  

[Cartography]

"-For the love of the Gods; Tyr, shut the hell up."

Sylvain had stoped his walking and turned around compeltly, staring at the hybrid a ffew steps away.It was usually difficvult to force a few continuouse sentences out of him, but apparently not today. "One; a tree filled area is a forest. Two; you're blabbing. three; You + Blabbing = irritating. Stop it." He narrowed his eyes a little in a curiouse manner and shook his head as if not understanding.

"Whats wrong with you?"  

[Atrocity]

Tyr stoped in his tracks as soon as he was interupted, ears drooping low and his tails thudding as they dropped against the ground. "...Blabbing?" he asked somehweres in teh middle of Sy's little counter-rant. He didn't like getting interupted, especially when it was getting interupted by the words 'shut up'. He wasn't entirely emotionaly stable, either, so words hurt.

He half stuck his tongue out and bit it while muttering "Nothings wrong with me. Just... dirty.... and the whole idea of in pain doesn't phase you, does it?" He glared, a little to dramaticly for it to be convincing, then he started walking again. "I just happen to be more aware of my needs when i come through terrible, and tragic torture scenario's like... like magic portals."  

[Cartography]

it took a moment before Sy would actually pay the energy that it took to give a reply. "... Tragic Torture...scenario... Sorry for mis-understanding the entire thing. Had i known someone was giving you lashings, i would have sent for help." he rolled his eyes and shook his head "Give up the sympathy crying. You're fine, and you know it, Because you've been through worse and survived without much complaining."

::Thats the spirit Young Master! strik him with your verbal whip!::

The mind sent reply from K'Tathi was almsot startling. Sy hadn't expected teh Owl to be listening in on them ::Shut your beak. Did you see anything?::
