Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kaki glared at stonewall for his pessimistic remark, "No, I don't suppose we will. That is why at dawn we must make haste for the nearest town. I'm guessing that these creatures can't travel in the day light. This would be good news but for the guards that will be staked out to watch us. I don't know why they haven't attacked again."

"I'm rarely scared, lady of the dark. However, I have only seen one other like you. The reason for you dead I'm uncertain, but it must be of past evil doings. I, however, trust you. You have nothing surrounding you telling me to do otherwise," he said as if to make her slightly mad, as punishment for stocking them. Kaki was slightly startled, but elves rarely show it.

Breth crept in the far shadows, shuffling amongs the fallen leaves on crooked legs. He listened in on the group at the checkpoint. He was too far for any of them to notice, which was well for him. The hunchbacked little figure put a hand to his misshapen ear, cupped it to better hear through the pouring rain.

A darkly clad individual stepped up silently behind the hunchbacked vampire. "Lady Marie would like an update, worm!".

Breth turned around to look up into the veiled face of one of the Crypter's Hand's agents. "er, uhh...the group has only been on the road a short time. Already their guide has been attacked by the creatures of the wood..."he paused, then asked. "Why do you not attack them now?"

A stiff backhand slap was the response to Breth's question. "It is not your place to question, you wretch!", the agent looked into the darkness, as if imaginng the estate in the far, far distance. "Is that all?", he asked.

"No..."Breth rubbed at his stinging cheek. "a woman just joined them, an odd woman...one that has been re-turned.", he spoke of Lilith.

"Fine.", the agent responded. "Keep watch over them till I next arrive." He receded into the darkness, leaving Breth to shadow the group.

Lilith sent a glare, but it soon faded, to the woman who claimed not to trust her. "Did you not hear me dear, you have only just met me, you cannot know enough to trust or distrust me." Looking directly at Dana now she spoke, matter-of-factly. "Well, I have been from many places, and by that I have come from many also. If you must know I have been wondering... Searching rather, for some closure to a certain stage in my life. Also, my name is Lilith.... not her." Lilith was not one for making friends, she just stayed neutral most of the time to her own cause.

No reaction from the younger brother at the glare. He had gotten that look before so why should he get worked up about it...It was at that point that this woman appeared to the group. Instead of talking the two simply listened to what was being said.

The two brothers exchange a glance at Kaki's statement before shaking it off. To them it sounded like an arrogant boast, but whatever. They had heard the like before, but never expected it from anyone besides the big shots who sent them on these missions. Still he didn't seem to be the arrogant one and that is what enabled them to ignore the comment.

The rain had begun to subside a bit, but the air was still fridgidly cold. The morning was more than a few hour away, and the dirt roadways would be muddy. Travel was possible, but would prove difficult after the sudden rainstorm.

An eerie howl resounded in the distance, followed by accompanying yelps and yips of the vicious canines that lived in the area. With the weather letting up, they had decided to come out for their nightly hunt.

Lilith looked out to where the howls had come from howls had come from in the distance. She wondered if they just belonged to dogs or wolves or if it was something for worse.
