Gurrin and Mellit jumped out of the way and landed next to Kray. "Hmm, dark magic, interesting. Come with us, we'll give you a decent meal, some water, and a bed for tonight." Gurrin and Mellit showed them to the house and went out for a second. Mellit came back with a hue basket of vegetables and Gurrin had a huge jug of water. Gurrin took the vegetbles and cooked them up, making enough for all of them. He brought out the platea and the jug of water and placed them in front of Kray's units. "Eat up!" he said with a smile.

((OOC: @Sivler: We'll try, but there are so many of us that it might be tough.))
Aura watched the storm with growing fascination. Distantly, so far away, she thought she heard a voice.
"Sweetie?"
Who was it?
"You okay?"
Sure. Sure she was. Never better than now, when she felt something beginning to heat just beneath her skin in response to the coming storm. The voice commanded her sternly.
(ignore it Aura)
But she couldn't quite stop listening.
"Aura?"
She turned towards it, despite the voice's anger.
(ignore it)
Then there was something almost like a click and the feeling of heat - the connection to the storm - faded. Aura looked around, a little confused. "Yeah, Dad," she called back, coming to open the door. "I'm fine. What's wrong?"
Engela had been about ready to just go in when Aura opened the door. The girl's bewildered eyes went from her father to her brother, finally settling on her mother. Engela felt their usual connection back in place, like nothing had happened.
She looked briefly over at Mathias. She was convinced now.
Something was wrong with Aura.

"You should try it sometime," replied Alexa absently. "It needs to be fresh, and you can't use much since it's so strong, but it's pretty good as a meat spice."
She sat back and watched, not really sure what else could be done.
((OOC: This seriously needs to go somewhere before the characters start molding...u.u))

"Aura." Feeling the slight bond between her that he felt as her father, Mathias hugged her. "While your mom and I were meditating, something happened to you. We were no longer able to sense you sweety. We were very worried about you." Hugging her again, Mathias did something he hadn't done in a long time, he kissed her cheek. Not being able to sense her for even those few moments felt like an eternity.

Aura frowned. "Why would that hap...?" Her voice trailed off as she realized that questions weren't important now. Maybe later she could find out why her parents would lose sense of her. Had the storm interfered? That was ridiculous, but...
Later. Later.
She smiled up at her father. "Well, I'm okay," she said reassuringly. "Everything's fine." Stealing a quick look at her twin, she wondered if they'd lost track of him, too.
Engela stepped forward at last. Resting a hand lightly on her daughter's shoulder, she said, "If you're sure, then you two should probably go back to bed. It's late."
She flicked another look at Mathias. We need to talk about this.

"I see..." Naomi murmured. She shrugged, unsure of what they could be doing. Of course, it didn't help she didn't know them well at all. She simply nodded and continued forward.
---
Michael frowned. "Are you alright?" he asked softly, as though he had no idea she was a crazy murderer.
((It's okay Umi!))

{Indeed, lol}
Kirra nodded, thinking that she should try it. Then she saw a glint of sunlight off of metal and she cried, "Look out!" Knocking Lexi out of the way and diving as an arrow hit the ground where Kirra used to be. She drew her scythe and snarled, looking at the motionless foliage, trying to find her assailants.

"my name is Balon," he said "nice to meet you." everyone down the line introduced themselves to the 2 brothers. "sence our captain isn't here at the moment, ill introduce him. his name is Kray."
Kray followed the bandits throught the desert. he was use to traveling in the desert but everyone had there limits. he had not brought water with him but was sure the bandits must have some so he continued to follow and soon saw an oassis appeared in the distance. Kray smiled to himself. this was his first step toward his domonation of the area.

The little girl whimpered a bit as she hugged her knees. "...st..st..staff..i..it...bbbb...uuu...rrnn...burns..." Not looking at him as she stuttered.

"Nice to meet you, Balon, please eat, these are some of the finest vegetables you will ever eat," said Mellit. GUrrin then walked back out with a huge beef leg and began to carve it up and pass it out to everyone. "Thanks to Mellit's powers, we can grow all types of livestock and crops, and I have a bit of cooking skill. If any of you need weapons repaired as well, let me know." After Gurrin finished his statement and gave everyone their meat, he took the leg and began to munch on it. "Anyone have any idea when Kray's getting back?" said Mellit, nibbling on an ear of corn.

Vix looked back at her steadily, her gaze blank. A slight, bitter smile touched her lips. "I don't think you do," she replied calmly.
What had they done wrong? she wondered. How was it that Alex had turned out fine, but Alexa...?
No. She had no time to think of that. She had to find Alexa, bring her home. Then she could wonder how her daughter had turned out so wrong.
~
Alexa sprang to her feet, her eyes narrowed. She drew her knife - one of her particular favourites, the best of the few she'd brought - and watched the foliage. Being in the open when attacked meant that they were already at a disadvantage.

Kirra growled and she saw another glint of metal, she swung her scythe at it and cut through the foliage, but the cause of the glint was gone from there already.

Alexa cut low and went to the side. Taking the simple route, she went in among the leaves herself. It would be easier to catch up that way, she thought viciously. And when she found them in here among the foliage, they'd be sincerely sorry.

Naomi said nothing as she stopped, waiting for the other two to go in front of her. She had no idea where she was going, after all. She preferred to follow, when it came to traveling to an unknown place, not to lead.
---
Michael frowned and realized what was frightening the girl. He put it down close to him, but kept the dagger on him. "Better?"

Kirra swung her scythe, catching the neck of the assailant, but an arrow hit flew from the other direction and hit the back of her shoulder, she spun and was struck by another arrow, this one glancing off her hip, cutting a deep gash in it. She snarled and charged the area that the arrow had come from, ignoring the pain as a third arrow grazed a breast. She swung her scythe and cut down the assailant, but knew that there were probably more.

"thank you for the food." Balon said as the group sat down to eat. "you don't need to worry about Kray, he can take care of himself. he was born here and have traveled here for some time so he should know the land well enough."
Kray walked into the oassis as there was nobody on watch. most likely they didn't expect anyone to follow them. as he reached he center, he saw the light of fires and voices. "...be. last time we reached the walls of the village and this time you come ba..." the man broke off as Kray walked into the clearing. he walked up to the pond and began to drink deeply. "who the...how did...who are you!?" the man who seemed to be the leader asked. Kray didn't reply until he had drinked his fill. then he turned to face the group. "i'm here to take this group over." he said with a simle.
