Riley shook her head. Not likely, she responded to Jericho's question. Experience taught her that they were in for more battles as long as they stayed on this island. This only made her grip on both Malodore and Jericho tighten. That familiar rush of excitement she would usually have at such a thought was gone. Ripped away, and stolen.
But perhaps not forever.
Aksaja's yell had her full attention, and and she stared at him with one cocked brow. He wasn't being attacked, and yet he was acting like something was really wrong. What can't you do, Aksaja? Riley asked in lieu of a greeting as they caught up with him.

Looking at Riley with concern again, Jericho could swear her fighting spirit was just.... not there. Hopefully all she needed was some time to clear her head or something along those lines. He then turned his attention to Aksaja and raised an eyebrow as the guy suddenly had an outburst. It didn't take too long for him to guess it had something to do with the fact that he was missing his wings and tail.
"What happened to your wings man?" he asked. Seeing how it didn't look like they had been physically torn off, there had to be another explanation for it.
Before he received his response, he heard a familiarly annoying voice from somewhere behind. A quick glance behind told him it was indeed a certain fairy that he didn't want to have to deal with.
"Dammit it's Astra," he grumbled under his breath and picked up his pace a little. Sure, they were all on the same side here, but that didn't mean he necessarily wanted to deal with her. THough, he suppose she could make an excellent decoy for the cloaked reapers.

Jericho's question served to answer Riley's, as she realized Aksaja's dragon appendages were still missing. One could only guess he was being repressed while on the island.. ouch. That had to be frustrating.
She turned around when she heard the higher pitched voice, and her eyes sparkled mischievously when she saw Astra trying to run up to them. Watching the fairy struggle and huff was endearing, and as soon as the ghoul made it to them Riley offered a hand. Then, in a stroke of insanity, she offered something she would never have offered before.
Need a ride?
Did a girl with wings really need to ride on someone elses back? Of course not, there was no logistics to the offer. But Riley offered nonetheless. She caught a glimpse of Jericho's unhappiness, and nudged him softly with her elbow. Her voice was teasing, but gentle. Oh, she's not so bad. Just don't let her get under your skin.

As she drew closer to the group, she was able to hear better the curses that Aksaja was now shouting out to the world, and had a brief sense of unease at this. Wouldn't his screaming attract the cloaked figures? She soon forgot about this, as Jericho's grumble seemed to annoy her. Hey, it wasn't like she wanted to be near him either. Since he was a stupid jerk and all. But Riley was here too, and she even offered her a ride!
wait...A ride?
Once she had caught up with the group, standing there a moment to catch her breath, she had to consider the odd offer. Whie it would be easier if she did sit on Rileys head...She couldn't think but feel it would be a little undignified for Riley. Plus, she could still remember Rileys outburst at anyone even going near her tentacles. She...didn't want to offend the demon that much. In doing so she feared Rileys anger would be ten times worse then jericho's
"I- I should be okay, I just wanted to catch up with everyone. But thank you!" She smiled, then quickly moved on, casting a quick glare at Jericho in the process

A ride? Jericho gave Riley an odd look as she offered the faerie a ride. The short girl had wings so she didn't need such a thing as far as he was concerned. He also didn't really believe the 'she's not so bad' bit. Only time would tell if he'd be able to tolerate her on this trip.
The dragon returned the glare right back at the little lady before jumping back as he saw a Reaper appear and let out a low growl. He was ready to pounce on this guy, but it seemed that the cloaked one had another idea.
He went after Astra instead.
Well.
That was fine with Jericho.
((edit - isn't it supposed to be 2d8 for this area?))

Riley's eyes, which had been resting on Astra calmly, widening when the fog began to roll in around her. She saw the familiar black of a reapers coat, and her hand shot out to try and grab Astra - but it was too late. She had been pulled away, and disappeared from their sight. Her hand closed in defeat, fisting tightly.
She didn't turn around, nor did she consider it proper to keep walking. She glared at the fog, and waited. Patiently.
She was not about to leave the ghoul alone. If she came out of there alive, they would be waiting.

Sheridan had stopped in his steps, looking back to the voice that had called out to him. Right, he guessed Aksaja had a point, there was an advantage in staying together, strength in numbers.
"Sheridan."
He'd have offered his hand, but it didn't seem entirely appropriate right now, there would be time for more formal greetings later (hopefully). Right now they needed to get to the lighthouse, find the signal, and get the hell out of here.
Waiting for the others to catch up, Sheridan caught sight of at least one familiar face, perhaps two. He was at least glad to see Riley, at least he knew she had survived thusfar. And Jericho, he remembered briefly meeting the red dragon, though he could not claim to really know him.
Walking again as the others had caught up, he shook his head at the question.
"Unlikely, I would not be surprised if those creatures were lurking only a few feet ahead of us."
Or behind. OR RIGHT THERE!
Sheridan growled, jumping back from the creature. His tail lashed, eyes scanning the fog, searching for any sign of the girl or the creature. His grip tightened on his 'weapon', every sense searching in the stifling quiet of the fog. Where was it? Where had it gone?

Aksaja slowly came out of his spate of cursing, looking from Riley to Jericho and back again. "I can't Shift," he snarled, eyes narrowed. If he'd had a tail at the moment, it would be lashing back and forth in irritation. "Not at all."
Before he could explain any further (or do any more cursing of the island or whatever), the fairy-ghoul he kind of remembered from Spin the Bottle showed up. Along with one of the cloaked things. Oh GREAT.

Again, she was able to dodge the others blade, but how long could she keep up her dodges? She flew behind the reaper and tried for another slash ((HP: 25 Damage: 9 - 6 = 3 ))

Since Riley was sticking around, Jericho stood by and crossed his arms, waiting for this fight to finish up. She wasn't doing too badly from what he could tell.. or perhaps this reaper guy was just doing that poorly. Perhaps it was more of the latter than anything else.
Looking between the other two dragons, he nodded slowly.
"You have a point there..." he grumbled lowly, "Doesn't help when they could just poof in like that too."
His golden eyes shifted over towards Aksaja and frowned at what he had said. Then again, he shouldn't have been surprised to hear that. Earlier he couldn't feel much of his FEAR and was unable to tap into his natural abilities at all. While he could feel it a little more here, it still wasn't like when they were back at home.
"I feel like my FEAR isn't as restricted here... maybe as we keep moving, we'll be able to tap into our FEAR more as well."
At least he hoped so. If these reapers were so keen on sapping their FEAR, they might as well try to do that with said FEAR being turned against them. Not to mention he had to imagine being without wings had to suck majorly.
