Vika watched the girl with concern. "If you're sure...I only wish I could be of more assistance, though..."
A wing twitched anxiously. "What do we do now?"

Blossom shook her head. "No, no. It's fine. I'll be fine. Really!" Blossom stepped towards her, pausing, then turned back to where that purple light had come. "I was... going to go help, but now I'm not sure... are you going to fight?" Blossom turned her eyes to her feet. Was it best to get involved? Everyone else had already gone on, she wasn't quite sure now.

Moving back a bit, Ziaram noticed a particular Wyvern Knight that most people knew here, yet this one was unfamiliar to him. "Hoi. What are ye going to do? Go and help those who went...to help the others that are in trouble, or stay here witht he others stayin behind?"

"Do what you think is best" Ephraim butted in, not meaning to intrude since they were still a bit down the pathway. He for one couldn't even if he wanted to. "I'm staying for many reasons...one main one because I'd only get in the way" which was true and from the looks of the battle either way, he wouldn't be able pick up a decent spear there anyways.
He stood there for a few seconds more before turning his heel and returning to a large rock that sat a good foot away from the fire where the meat Leon left was still cooking.

Valter had no idea what was going on. He had just started coming back, carrying a few small animals, when he saw somebody he had never met before. apparently. the stranger noticed him as well, as he strarted speaking to the Wyvern Knight.
Wait, who's in danger?, Valter wondered, perplexed.
"I guess I'll come and help..." he replied to the man.

"If you heard the explosion a bit ago, then you know the direction to go in. Lets go...by the way the name is Ziaram." Heading back towards the direction of the battle.

"Ziaram? Well, I'm Valter. You go ahead, I'll catch up in a second," the warrior replied. He started walking back toward where he had been before, where Kain was still lying. The wyvern had woken up by now, but he was still lying and waiting for his rider to return. When Valter got fairly close, he let out a whistle. A few moments later, he was climbing onto his mount and the two were flying off in the direction Ziaram had walked off in.

Something was happening, and he hadn't time to waste.
Soren turned his head toward a point of chaos far away, immediately abandoning his position. Following Nils and the Fire Dragon was no longer his concern. He had understood immediately that he was needed elsewhere, and thus he would go elsewhere. Tugging the reins, Soren turned his mount toward the source of what had disturbed his concentration and spurred the rouncey forward, leaning forward to avoid falling off.

Roy was tossing and turning in his sleep, unaware of the events that were occuring in the present. It was pretty clear that he was having another nightmare of sorts...they were starting to be pretty common for him.
It was dark, but there were just enough sun left to be able to see a few feet around him. There were sounds of combat all around. It was difficult to tell who was friend, and who was foe. There were countless bodies on the ground, drowning in a pool of blood. How many had fallen? How many injured?
The young lord found himself in the middle of the fray. But it seemed that no one was noticing he was there. It was as if he were...invisible. He watched purple petals fall all around him, probably someone's use of dark magic. He wandered around, avoiding charging figures one way, blasts of magic from the other.
Was everyone from the camp here...or were they still resting, preparing for a good meal to regain their strength? If everyone was here...that meant Mother and Uncle had come along. He searched frantically, but there was no sign of either of the siblings. Had they perished? He began checking the bodies, but there was so much blood spilled that it seemed that all the slain had red hair now. All looked like him...or his father...or his grandfather.
He turned, and he saw a woman next to a monster. He didn't recognize her fighting style, but it seemed as if she could control monsters. Was she a...beastmaster, like the woman Ganon mentioned in his tale during the festival? She looked rather annoyed. Was the fight not going her way? Was she an ally...or an enemy? Or was she some third party?
Roy opened his eyes slowly and sat up. He then glanced around. Except for a few people, such as his mother and a small girl, literally everyone else was gone. He got up slowly and walked over to Ninian.
"Mother...? Where did everyone go?" he asked softly.

Uncle Canas Canas walked over to where Ninian stood. They had not quite finished their conversation from before. "Miss Ninian," He said softly and smiled genuinely. "I beleive we haven't finished our conversation from before." He noticed that they were conversing over Amara. Alihi must have needed to go somewhere. "Yes," he said. "Me and Ninian can take care of Amara, if you don't mind me butting into the conversation. Uncle Canas will be here to keep everyone safe." He kneeled down to Amara's hieght and smiled softly as he turned back to Ninian for her answer.

She turned, hearing someone approach her--Roy, and Canas, too. She hesitated, not wanting to answer Roy, if only to protect him.
"I . . . Roy, there was an explosion of some sort," she said, neglecting to mention what she'd sensed, what she'd dreamed. "The others went to see what it was, if it was our allies in trouble, or. . . ."
She didn't really know what to tell him. She wanted to protect her son from the fighting she sensed was going on, but he was more than capable of choosing his own path. She had the feeling that, like Eliwood, he would rush off to help his friends the moment he knew they were in danger, he was that kind of person. And yet, she couldn't lie to him.
"Something has happened, but I'm not sure what. I think . . . I think our friends are in danger. That's the feeling I get."
She knelt, hugging Amara close. "Don't worry, Amara," she said soothingly, "I'm sure your mother will be alright. She's a brilliant tactician after all."
Over the girl's shoulder, the dancer smiled up at Canas, apologetic. "Canas, can we talk later? I do not think now is the time."

Alihi sighed in relief, a small smile coming to her face. She really had no reason to fear, knowing that there would be at least some people staying behind. "Thank you guys... I'll be back, I promise." With a small nod, she turned around and went after the group.
(( Pfft that was a bit delayed plus I don't feel like making another Alihi post so... Moving to the rest of the post! ))
Amara, even after Alihi left, continued to draw in the dirt with one finger, humming a tune to herself. She didn't want to look at mommy... she knew that mommy felt like she had to go and help but didn't want to leave her alone. The least the small girl could do was not complain or get involved so that Alihi could feel a bit more at ease. By appearing happy and oblivious, Alihi could relax and not feel as terrible for helping out everyone else by going off and risking her life and combat.
That, and her focus really was completely on the dirt drawing she was creating. The drawing was getting rather big and complicated, actually... It was of a house, about the size of a cottage, with a huge front door and two windows. A big, smiling sun was drawn above the house. In the front of the cottage was a lawn with some huge flowers (she couldn't draw them small; that would ruin them!).
In front of the lawn were three stick figures, two big and one small. A smile came to her face as she stared at her creation, now complete. She wiped her finger clean with the cloak with satisfaction.
It was then she felt a pair of arms wrap around her. Amara remained in her position, blinking for a few moments, trying to figure out who was hugging her. Once she realized it was Ninian, she returned the hug silently, hiding her face and the tears that had just appeared in the corners of her eyes.
She understood that her mommy had to go, but she never wanted her to leave.

(( Ephy's still here btw XD! ))
Ephraim turned his head to the boy that was now awake. Even with the people staying behind the tension wasn't a calm one..it only got worse. He let out a heavy sigh and leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees, staring into the burning fire.
He didn't say anything, nothing anybody said could calm anybody here..the only thing keeping them from talking about the situation was Amara and even with her around, the poor girl was crying by the fact that Alihi had left to go off to where the explosion had occured. Obviously he couldn't sit still due to the fact that his leg wouldn't stop shaking. There was probably a total of four people, 6 if Blossom and Vika had gone too but not that many left to protect anybody else here.
Ephraim got up from where he sat and started to pace around the area, keeping himself occupied and mind away from the event.

Roy listened to Ninian speak. She mentioned explosions, which probably explained why the others were gone. Probably to check it out. But...was that many people really needed to check it out? Wouldn't it have been wiser, safer to send two or three people to find out what it was?
She also mentioned that the others were in danger, but it was a feeling she had. And he had come to learn to rely on these feelings of hers. He wondered now...if this fight was the very same one occuring in his dream? If it was...
Either way, he had to know. He had to find out what was going on, if the others were ok. Sue...everyone...you better not die on us... he thought to himself, knowing that the Nomadic Trooper was capable of looking after herself, but what if there were foes with horseslayers? And what of the others? Each had some weapon that would put them in a disadvantage if forced into a one-on-one match.
He glanced over at his Mother, who was hugging Amara close. Canas was near them now. He knelt down in front of her.
"Mother...I know what you're thinking. You don't want me to get hurt. But I have to find out what's going on...if it's exactly what I saw in my nightmare, then it's slightly in our favor. They're still horribly outnumbered, and the enemy commander hasn't revealed herself yet..." he said softly. "I'll stick to the shadows, and I'll use long-range attacks from my swords to support out allies. So please..."
Roy was a specialist of the magic swords. Besides his Sword of Seals, he also carried a Wind Blade, a Runesword, and a Light Brand.
He then closed his eyes. "I understand if you don't want me to go help..."
