 Like a gift from the heavens it was easy to tell. It was love from above that could save me from hell.
She had fire in her soul, it was easy to see, how the devil himself could be pulled out of me.
There were drums in the air as she started to dance,
Every soul in the room keeping time with their hands.
And we danced on into the night! ━━☽Ɍυɼ'Дɖɩқą Дɖɖąɧąɼɼą☾━━
They looked to have been standing and staring off into no where, so at Claudia's response the gypsy raised a brow. "Adjusting the sheets..." she droned, her tone quiet skeptical but she said nothing either as they both went to their spots.
No point in arguing or complaining, she needed her own rest and with her mind running wild Adi didn't get much. Even as she laid down near the fire she had created on a bed of furs and blankets she used when traveling, she didn't sleep for a while. Questions going unanswered by the strange man and being she had seen moments ago. Just who was he and what did he want? He said one thing, but he was clearly a mystery and motives could have been anything.
Prince of Crows wanted her victorious...how and why? What sort of Gypsy was he thinking she was, she wasn't made to be victorious. Sighing, Adi rolled to her side, and just when she thought sleep would never come it came with a soft soothing voice in her head telling her to sleep.
- - - - - - - - -
Adi woke with the dawn per her usual when traveling. Blocking a noisy yawn with her hand as she sat up, she looked around. Isabelle would be back in her area, Nyru was still sleeping and Claudia....Claudia's bed was empty. Rubbing her eyes, Adi still saw her stuff so she couldn't have left. Maybe woke up earlier and went out for a walk.
Believing that, Adi began to prepare breakfast. Porridge was a simple meal however hardy for the most part but plan never the less. Which then it came to mind, the Gypsy had seen some berries coming in the other night and with that got up and headed out of the Inkwelll the way she had gone and ended up meeting the strange Prince.
The air was fresh and warm, filled with moisture and a sign if it continued into the day, Adi would have to change her state of dress. Th heavy material and layers was meant for cooler weather, not this level of warmth and moisture. Distracting herself with that, Adi began to pick some eatable berries. The Gypsy at a point began to hum and sing quietly to herself as she gathered.
☽━━☆━━☾ Like a piece to the puzzle that falls into place, you could tell how we felt from the look on our faces.
We were spinning in circles with the moon in our eyes. No room left to move in between you and I.
Our voices rang like the angels sing. We forgot where we were and we lost track of time,
And we sang to the wind as we danced through the night.
And we danced on into the night!

 Isabelle Statem `•.¸ ¸.•´`•.¸ ¸.•´`•.¸ ¸.•´`•.¸ ¸.•´`•.¸ ¸.•´
Opening his eyes, he saw the cracks of light, the glisten of dust particles floating in the air like sea plankton. Nyru took in a deep and well-waited breath before yawning, it felt like his body was forcing his lungs to squash tighter than they should. Looking to Claudia's bed however he noticed how she was already up, he gathered he must have slept in or something. With the bed sheets pushed down and feet placed firmly on the floor he shoved on his metal-clad boots. Noticing the chair his sister usually slept on he mentally noted how she often slept elsewhere than anyone else, ever. With that thought through, Nyru also noticed how Adi's bed was empty too, but well neatened up too.
"So, everyone's up except us" came a familiar, strong and very heavily British accent. With a glance up over towards a doorway Isabelle stood,she was still in the same clothes as before, her draping red and black arm cloths, her thorny black bracelets clinging to her forearms and her almost demonic-looking outfit. She was mid-way brushing through her hair, where she got the brush from he didn't know. "I thought i was the last" he said, forcing his body to stand, feeling better than he did the day before. "How are you feeling?" she asked, a tone of concern coming across. "Better, thank you. Hey, i need to contact someone, do you have any Occult thing that can disguise my phone signal?". She struck him an inquisitive pose before saying "Who is it you want to speak to?"
"a friend, i don't want them to worry. It's rare we don't speak for a long time" he said, being firm about the subject. "A friend huh?" she said, placing her hand out to let him hand over the mobile. Placing his mobile in her palm he said "Yes. "
"Okay, but don't start using me as a tool to keep your affairs safe" she added, he wasn't sure if she was teasing or not, a faint blush and slight expression of surprise wiped across his cheeks as he tried to keep himself calm and non-readable. "here" she said, her tone half-happy to have done it by the sounds of things. She made it so he wasn't traceable through the network, not that the Land of Crows is all up into that stuff, but knowing Darris, he might get the Arcaz involved, especially since they're one of the nearest guilds. "Thank you" he said, taking the mobile and proceeded to dial a number. Isabelle made her way to the dorway and said "I'll go find the others" with high heels stepping across the stone flooring. Moving past the rusty metal railings that sprawled the walls and floor she found the ladder and made her way up into the outside area where the sun was unusually golden and the air was... moist as always in the Land of Crows. Atleast it didn't have that thick, heavy, grey-blue fog like usual. It was just a fine mist for now.

Claudia Vesslia The blonde only had limited time to enjoy herself before she returned to the underground prison. To be honest, it felt no different from the place they were in; ready to accept their death in the eradicated society. Nyru should have aroused by now considered the streams of light that penetrate the cracks. No one could possibly sleep through the heated beams that demanded attention. Claudia wondered how much longer the two would obscure their images from the citizens of the city that use to praise their efforts. The queen fueled their ego's with all the delicacies that only nobles of her status could imagine. Closing her emerald eyes, the female figured she should head back. After all, she was on an uncharted trail, but whether that trail was completely abandoned or not remains to be unseen.
Suddenly, she remembered the branded crow claw symbol on her wrist. Does it function similarly in this world like in the fabricated the Prince secluded them too? It had to work or else this gift would be a worthless infliction forever visible on her perfect complexion. Inhaling then exhaling deeply, she visualized inside the Inkwell in the room dank room where her and Nyru slept. Her body disappeared and she traveled at light speed possibly breaking the spectrum. Blurred scenery passed by her and before she had time to react, she fell into a berry bush. The thorns on the bush stabbed and poked her body continuously.
Adi was just outside the prickly barrier and with a pained tone Claudia pleaded, "Help me...please...ouch..." The strong archer sounded like she was ready to cry as she lifted her scratched and a little bit bloodied arms. Did the Gyspy hear her or was her humming to delightful to stop? Seriously, if Claudia didn't know better the woman was a natural born Disney princess.

Picking the berries as she hummed, Adi let the stress of the last few days flow away. At least for a little while, as the stress would return as they continued on their way. The Gypsy never cared for stress, her life style relatively laid back was built around a community that handled such things as a community. Here she was handling a lot more then she would care for, however, it was for friends and she would do anything for them....including breaking them out of prison.
Thinking she had had enough in her cloth pouch gathered, Rur'Adika was just about to leave when she heard a loud ruffle of leaves and snapping branches as something fell on the pushes behind her. Humming having stopped she stared at the wall of leaves and sweet berries thinking potentially an any or rogue hunter when she heard a very familiar and distressed voice.
"Clauida," exclaimed Adi in amused laughter. Pushing past the thorn covered branches and ignoring the p***k of pain she found the archer laying there. "What on Magic Earth are you doing in there?!"
Shaking her head, Adi offered a hand to the blond civilized archer while pushing back the pushes further. Using her booted feet and covered arms she managed to make an escape route with minimal pain from thorns. Adi could feel them though through her sleeve s and skirt, had she been wearing her heavier dress they wouldn't have been an issue.
_-_-_-_-_
OOC: Disney Princess?! hahaha

(("what in Magic Earth..." oh i love it! And now you say it Nemo, i'm certainly getting that vibe too! ^_^))
Left alone now within the walls of the Inkwell, Nyru was impatiently waiting for the phone to be picked up. From the moment the device was placed against his ear and those familiar ringing tones began to repeat themselves he felt his heart and lungs suddenly feeling smaller and less capable of functioning. What was he going to say? 'I'm going to be killed on sight if seen, but don't worry i'll be fine'? And it wasn't only Laxion he was worried about speaking to, it was having Ruby find out the same information. The girls had only just started learning their relationship again, and now the sisters were going to be torn apart by laws they couldn't change.
"Sorry I can't accept your call right now. Leave your message after the tone and I will reply when I can". It was Laxion's voice, at first Nyru forgot to take in a breath but then he was almost filled with relief when the answer phone had kicked in, Laxion's recorded voice asking him for a message. Nyru wasn't sure whether this was going to be the best idea or not, leaving him a message about things. But when else would he be able to speak to him and let Claudia's sister know their situation?. When the beep sounded he left his messaged.
"-But please... Don't get involved, okay Laxion? I'm only telling you this so you don't come searching for us blindly, or so that you know if someone says we're d-... dead. They're lying." he swallowed before taking in a deep breath. his voice became quieter as he said "I'll call you again after nightfall... don't call me or you'll get tracked and - just don't. We'll sort everything out okay, i promise. Oh" he said "And... don't tell Ruby... i don't think Claudia will want her to know....See you soon..."
((P.S. this cal is happening after what LAxion and Ruby are currently dong in Entei. So this is the morning after the night that is currently happening in Entei, if you get me? So when it coems to theright time in Laxion's RP I'll write him recieving the message, the first part of it since this is the last part of it razz ))
"Bl*ody hell" came the distinctively British accent. Isabelle had managed to make her way up through the tunnel and ladders, remarkably without getting a single scrape of dirt on her skin, her hair was even still freshly brushed. "What happened here? Heels so short they refused to walk?" she asked, jokingly referring to her 'no-less than six inches' rule about high heels.

Claudia Vesslia Adi was a saint for pulling the agitated Claudia from the thorns of unforgiveness. Once she was free, she wiped lose stem appendages hanging off her dress. It didn't matter now since parts of her wardrobe were torn and she couldn't reveal her anger onto the bush. The blonde was defensive against the fiend since her arrows have been stolen. Of course, she could always use shadowmancy to summon her own archery set, but why waste the energy on something so insignificant. Besides, it was her fault for trying to abuse the gift she was generously given; serves her right! However, she scoffed at her inanimate opponent before turning to her savior to thank her properly.
"Adi, thank you for freeing me from...my predicament." Trying to sound sophisticated didn't make the situation any brighter. She had attempted a vacuous stud and she would be surprised if Adi burst into spontaneous laughter. Brushing her straggly blonde hair aside, she erected her posture and walked towards the Inkwell. She assumed the gypsy wanted to be secluded for the time being. Traveling down the rigorous ladder once more, Claudia strolled down the corridor until she got to Nyru. He sounded livid about something, but what. Their current notoriety around town didn't relieve the stress upon the group and being out of contact probably made certain friends and family members worried. Ruby and Laxion.
"What's wrong? Be honest, you can tell me anything." The companion stated as Isabelle's heels clicked down the hall. The woman was unmistakable, but the sound of her heels was like music. It was literally the only sound that echoed through the empty halls. The shadowmancer shook her head and leaned against the wall. "Never mind, keep it to yourself." When Isabelle entered, Claudia changed the subject to advert the focus off of Nyru. "Hello, Isabelle, where have you been?"

Freeing the archer from the clutches of the thorn bush at last, seeing Claudia attempt to correct her image as much as possible was amusing. Smiling Adi knew her dress was in a similiar condition as the blonde's. Her's being of a cream shade allowing the blood stains from the scratches from the thorns to show up easily. Not minding that that, Adi waved Clauida's apology aside.
"No worries...I'm sure if I were the clutches of a particularly nasty thorn bush you would help me as well," she said with a smile.
The cloth filled with berries in her hand, Adi was not long in arriving back in the Inkwell behind the archer. Seeing the sight of Nyru rather riled up as he was got her curious, but attention was drawn back to Isabelle as she made her glamorous entrance. The gypsy found both woman rather surprising, in the oddest of situations they still chose to hold themselves to sophisticated standards.
Kneeling by the fire and pot, Adi stirred it a bit and found their breakfast ready. "Any one up for a bit to eat before heading out. I found some berries outside to add a little something to them...and don't worry they're just wild blackberries; nothing that will kill you."

Isabelle Statem `•.¸ ¸.•´`•.¸ ¸.•´`•.¸ ¸.•´`•.¸ ¸.•´`•.¸ ¸.•´
Isabelle didn't seem to get the answer she wanted, instead the blonde shook of her joky remark and asked where the Caster had been. Shortly after the gypsy had followed in all her regal style, both women here besides Isabelle were both very different to her and to each other, yet at the same time they were each similar to each other. Isabelle could be quite happy working alone and shoving others away to accomplish it, Claudia would rather be bossy to keep a team together, sometimes keeping it just herself and Nyru so she wouldn't have to rely on anyone else. Adi meanwhile was all for the team, she was like the standing column keeping them up. But at the same time all three of them fought for what they loved, and would overcome any differences. Getting back to the situation in hand, Isabelle said "i found my own room for the night." quite simply, looking around and noticing Nyru was done on his phone, and Adi was offering food out.
Nyru meanwhile was almost calm again, refusing to give anything away. It wasn't worth mentioning at the moment. "I'll take some" Nyru said in reply to the gypsie, "your cooking is better than what we sometimes had at the palace", he was sure to say 'sometimes' so that Claudia wouldn't get the wrong idea, she would sometimes cook and so would he, but he wasn't the best at it. "I'm okay for now, thank you" said Isabelle, who was paying particular attention to the doorways and down the bottom of the inkwell. "I'm going to start preparing out next journey, where ever that may be" she then added, making her way into the corridor and standing in the middle, half in and half out of the darkness as she examined the walls. Nyru gathered she was going to be doing more of her Occult trickery or something, they're all for the secrets. Nyru, taking his first meal of the day with an empty stomach, suggested " we need to work out what we're going to do... we can't just run for the rest of our lives."
"You need to get proof of your innocence, and last time i checked Daris had no proof of your guilt except his own word" replied his sister from the nearby corridor, embers whispering from her palm to the wall as if she were planting some sort of curse. "oh, and i've already contacted Mother and Father. They're trying to convince the Occult to make the High Court intervene."
"Where they okay?!" Nyru suddenly asked, wodering how they must have felt finding out their son was going to be killed for killing the queen, but is now being hunted for escaping prison. The list just gets worse the more he thought about it. "They're a little panicked. And they don't think the Occult will bother much since it is not their jurisdiction"
"so what are we to do then..." he murmured, giving a glance over to Adi and Claudia. Nothing seemed possible, Darris had them in his dirty little trap, and even the with Prince's powers they couldn't do anything to prove their innocence.

Claudia Vesslia The gypsy ostensibly couldn't resist taunting Caudia, but the female took it as a compliment. Berry bushes were now her number one opponent in this world. The blonde seemed distracted and tried to think of other thoughts to amuse her as Isabelle interrupted with her answer. Of course, she wondered away and made herself comfortable but who could blame her. The female would have done the same if she didn't have so much concern for Nyru's health. He sure took the food Adi slaved over rather briskly, however, she wasn't complaining because he needed his nutrients. Isabelle refused the handmade meal, but Claudia didn't and took a bowl from Adi. She smiled at the girl as payment in return for everything she had done. At least the two could enjoy the pleasure of a delicacy instead of suffering the food they made themselves.
Her partner mentioned what they should do next on their agenda. A criminal life wasn't the life for her, but at least it was solitary. The sibling once again to prove their innocents, but all they had to go off of was there word as well. No amount of evidence or technology would save them now. The dark Occult female left the room and investigated the corridor thoroughly to set up a device to conceal them for a longer duration. She told Nyru about their parent's negotiated with the High Court and the male nearly lost his composure.
At least his parents realize the mess they had gotten themselves into. Claudia finished he plate and set it aside as she crossed her arms. "This may sound stupid, but the criminal life isn't so bad, we can work in the shadows."

Food offered and taken, it made her happy to see others appreciating her efforts to keep everyone well feed. As this task would take a lot of work and energy making sure everyone was well feed was important. Already after their situation of being framed, poisoned and then fleeing the city, Claudia and Nyru were already in better shape.
Taking a bowl for herself and sprinkling on the berries she had gathered began her morning meal.
Adi was content to just sit there and listen to the other conversations going on around her, so rare was it these days she had company on the road. The talk of parents making her think of her own, Adi's thoughts wondered off. But then the blonde's words made her smile a little and the gypsy spoke up.
"It may be biased but the life of travel isn't so bad either. It'll take some getting used to, but its enjoyable to see new places and meet new people...even making friends with some."
Smiling up at them, it was proof enough that she had made friends in the Land of Crows. And perhaps she may pay for it in the end she never would regret it, the memories she's made with them fighting an evil the world no longer knew and the oncoming storm of darkness. It was an adventure she never dreamed of having.

Isabelle Statem `•.¸ ¸.•´`•.¸ ¸.•´`•.¸ ¸.•´`•.¸ ¸.•´`•.¸ ¸.•´
Eeating his food, Nyru finally regained his calm sense of stature within the group. The food was nice, better than he had expected actually, the berries teasing his sweet tooth with each mouthful. Then Claudia mentioned the criminal life, how they could reside in the shadows. Exhalign cheaply he almost chuckled. "It's not like we're not used to that" he said, hopefully. "The land of crows has been living in shadows for years. it should be easy" he said, then listening to Adi talk about the travelling life. Isabelle took a casual glance in towards the room as the conversation went on but chose not to speak up, the thought of travelling around everywhere sounded eventful, but when would she be able to wear her best dresses?
"I like it" said Nyru "It shouldn't be difficult. I mean... some of our guardsmen even managed to infiltrate the cities didn't they? Albeit they got caught in the end, but they still did it". It make him think of when the Scarred attacked the cities, but eventually moved all their forced to The Shard instead after their plan was ruined by the Conclave. For that... the Guildeam has some kind of debt to pay to the Conclave after so many years of prejudice. Further more he wondered if the Conclave would ever see justice from what was thrust upon them in the Jewel War.
"Hey!" quickly shouted Isabelle. "Sh! Guys! Be quiet!" she hissed, holding her finger up as she slowly stared upwards towards the entrance in the ceiling. Nyru was suddenly filled with a nervous pit growing in his stomach, thankfully, yet somewhat regrettably all the breakfast was in his gut. There were footsteps, some mumbled voices too. "Sh*t" cursed Isabelle under her breath. i should have known she thought to herself, staring at the markings she made dead on before her on the brick wall. The ember symbols were already fading due to the unnatural and unstable energies in the Inkwell, it made her curse the very existence of the lands' power source. It's another reason why cars and other engines aren't used in the Land of Crows, the Inkwells mess up some things for unknown reasons.
"Perhaps we should try down there" came one of the voices. "I don't know, i'm not really getting any sense of life down their, who would want to go down their anyway, there might not even be anything left!-"
" What are you two doing? I want every crevice searched for the traitors, Lord Regent Darris is not a patient one!"
So... Nyru stared at Claudia. Darris had not only killed the queen, but become Regent in her absence. Brilliant. "Yes sir, Lucan, Sir". Who was Lucan? Some emissary that Darris called in? Then the heavy wooden slab over the entrance was being heavily hit, Isabelle not giving them a moment to find her as she ran over to the others. Nyru's helmet then unfolded and covered all his face as he grasped his blade in one hand and touched the shadowy wall behind him, instantly his body seemed to blend in expertly, something him and Claudia were very good at doing as Royal Guards. Isabelle had dismissed Claudia and Nyru, knowing their skills, and immediately went to protect Adi as she whispered "Excuse my hands" with a forceful tone. The Occult woman then placed a firm hold on Adi's arm so that she could conceal the both of them for a short amount of time, they were both completely invisible. It was all an illusion, however, as long as the intruders didn't know what they were looking for, they won't be able to see them.
The wood crashed through to the floor of the corridor, dust and debris brushing upwards and outwards as several figures jumped down and began moving through the corridor. Nyru watched silently as he kept a firm grasp a hold of the wall, keeping his body as close in the shadows as possible. These first few men seemed to walk in as if expecting some sort of find, they weren't anyone that Nyru recognised, but they definitely had some weird tattoos on their skin. "Search party B i want you to tavel due east towards the Vale, A, follow those two nitwits down the hole. I'll be waiting up here".
Great, there were more to come inside, they couldn't just pretend to not be here all this time, they would surely be caught at some point. The men wore dark clothing too, Darris was obviously supplying the city's equipment to them as if they were part of the official military now or something. They mainly had daggers at the ready or swords. One or two having very, very tall shields made out of cursed black metal. Darris was really going all out, wasn't he, but these men had an unknown presence about them, and he didn't like it. There had to be at least 15 men coming down that hole now, completely dismissing the ladder and coming in to fluidly surround the gaping abyss in the middle of the circular room, if it weren't for the half-high walls, they'd be falling down into.. well.. even Nyru couldn't tell where that hole led down to. The Underworld?
((i thought it was about time for some action. Besides, we're in the land of crows, my hack & slash area! xD))

Claudia Vesslia Adi was the expert on being practically invisible and traveling from town to town. This wasn't necessary a bad thing, but its a very soulless life and at some point you become desperate for companionship. However, the raven haired female wasn't really alone because she had to horse but Claudia could image the emptiness of talking to a creature that will never respond. The blonde sympathized as Nyru voiced an agreement to her far fetched opinion. It's true, unfortunately. They had been concealed from the outside world by residing in the Land of Crows and even were told unorthodox tales so they would never depart. Of course, their proposition changed dramatically when the queen required their assistance. The purple skinned woman is their savior in a way for pulling them out of the trenches of darkness.
Her partner continued on and brought up the time were their lands were besieged by some guardsmen and the Scarred. Although, the brainless Underworld dwellers didn't stand a chance against their advanced military unit. The assailants were able to penetrate the front gates to every city so they weren't a force to underestimate. "Your right, how hard could it be? After all, all of us are highly qualified to overthrow anyone who tries to incarcerate us." Smirking delightfully, she combed her fingers through her knotted hair until Isabelle commanded them to be quiet. The mumbling of unfamiliar vocals collaborated above them. Darris' henchmen had already catch up to them apparently, and were instructed to seize the so called "traitors".
Sir Lucan sounded like the captain of the newly formed squadron. The man wasted no breath as he ordered two soldiers to perforate the wooden seal into small fragments. Each strike sent a shiver up Claudia's stiffened spine as she slipped discreetly into a secluded corner of the room. Nyru's maniacal armored helmet activated shortly afterword and he gripped his hands around his sword. His sibling must have rescued it from of one the guard's grimy clutches during their escape from prison. He made himself basically camouflage into the shadows near him. Isabelle rushed out of the corridor in a black flurry and decided to shield her and the gypsy with some invisibility spell. The archer whispered to herself and a shadowy bow surfaced from nothing into her pale shaking hands.
The wooden barrier was infiltrated and dusted flowed out of the corridor and settled in the room. Unit A was send to Vale in the east and the rest of the arbitrary soldiers were sent down the hole with the other two. The group entered and the emerald eyed female could see that their armor, weaponry, and defenses were nothing to snicker at. The metal wasn't iron, but steel and a high caliber of it too. The "criminals" didn't have enough time to cover their evidence such as the beds and the roam of the cooked meal. The enemies wouldn't notice those key facts, Claudia said mentally in a sarcastic tone.
Out of the fifteen, several of them started becoming suspicious as they examined the room, no surprise there. The talked among themselves and she was sure one of them was ready to report their recent discoveries. The blonde couldn't take the suspense any longer and glanced to Nyru wondering what to do.

Like a gift from the heavens it was easy to tell. It was love from above that could save me from hell.
She had fire in her soul, it was easy to see, how the devil himself could be pulled out of me.
There were drums in the air as she started to dance,
Every soul in the room keeping time with their hands.
And we danced on into the night! ━━☽Ɍυɼ'Дɖɩқą Дɖɖąɧąɼɼą☾━━
The other seemed not agreeable or put off by her feedback. Mostly likely not the most agreeable to them, life of travel wasn't the worst sort of life style. If anything Isabelle would have the most issue with her fancy dresses getting road dust on them everyday. Adi was just thinking of that and imagining how put out she would be and smiled when that very woman tell them to hush.
Smile dropping to a frown instantly, Rur'Adika went rigid just as quickly. It wasn't long after being hushed that the voices came. Beginning to bite her lip in nervousness and panic growing in her chest, Adi stared up at the ceiling as a man named Lucan barked orders that made her flinch slightly.
'Oh this isn't good...' came her panicked mental thought as rapid things went through her mind to try and turn the situation to better odds.
Adi didn't have much luck before Nyru was blending into the shadows as well as Clauida. Isabelle pulling the gypsy to her feet and cowering against the wall now invisible.
"I could distract them..." she said in a soft whisper of an offer. Not that Adi thought that would be the best of options it was one of few. She couldn't protest further though as the boards were pulled away.
First it was a few and then more came in and the panic driving her heartbeat only picked up at the sight of them. Adi not recognizing them as any City of Crows guard she had seen she glanced at the rest of her party and didn't find any signs if any of them were confused as her or if they did recognize them. Either way they were not to be taken lightly. Something had to be done though, and Adi could see them growing suspicious of the way the beds were unkept, the cooking fire still burning with bowls of porridge and berries scattered across the floor.
With small gestures even though invisible, Adi signed to the three of them to gain their focus on her. Pointing to herself, she then used two of her fingers on one had to make the gesture of walking forward out into the main room that the soldiers were in. Mouthing words like "I distract them" or "we may fight any way". Which was the truth if her plan didn't go as planned, then they fight because they would have to fight in their present position any way.
Then a huff and nay came from a corridor off to the side that she recognized filled the silence.
Her panic grew because Croix had just drawn attention to himself.
☽━━☆━━☾ Like a piece to the puzzle that falls into place, you could tell how we felt from the look on our faces.
We were spinning in circles with the moon in our eyes. No room left to move in between you and I.
Our voices rang like the angels sing. We forgot where we were and we lost track of time,
And we sang to the wind as we danced through the night.
And we danced on into the night!

Isabelle Statem `•.¸ ¸.•´`•.¸ ¸.•´`•.¸ ¸.•´`•.¸ ¸.•´`•.¸ ¸.•´ Whilst the oncoming storm made it's way into the abandoned inkwell, everyone was silent, everyone had their own plans. But the arousing suspicion that the criminals were residing here made everyone go on edge, Lucan coming down the hole to walk in and make his authority clear. He had brushed back hair that was only long enough to reach the tip of his neck, it was clean and well kept like a 'posh' English hairstyle with a neat parting. He also had a moustache that thickly covered his top lip. From the shoulder down he wore upper-class Victorian military gear, but instead of the typically British red, it was all black. On his waist he had two weapons of identical shape. They were circular chakrams that seemingly could be placed together to form a complete circle with what could be described as the ying & yang symbol inside. "Well well well, what have we here" he said, looking over the bed, his foot kicking the sheets off. Meanwhile Nyru and Claudia were watching the gypsy, Adi certainly had a plan up her sleeve, and Isabelle caught on too and shook the girl's shoulder, mouthing "No way are you going out there alone" with an expression of shock. Then after a pause she mouthed and gestured with her spare hand "We distract them together", ending with a nod. Releasing her gasp on Adi, the two of them were suddenly in full sight of the soldiers. Lucan was standing in the middle of them all, well protected. "Hey! " she shouted, dropping one of her bracelets in her right hand to let it unfurl into a semi-flaming and shadowy whip that hovered along the ground as if it weren't allowed to touch the floor. "keep your feet off our beds!" she retaliated, bringing her arm up high to fling down witht he flick of her wrist as the whip magically grasped hold of one of the soldiers and sent him flying into the ceiling feet first. With the plan in action, surprise seemed to be there best tactic as Nyru jumped from the shadows into the fray, his first attack being a thrust to the neck of one of them from his sword's hilt, a blunt, but shocking blow. As the other soldier that Isabelle was taking care of fell back tot he floor, she grabbed his leg with her whip and flung him over the edge of the wall, his screams could be heard as he plummeted down an endless hole into a dark abyss.

Claudia Vesslia The soldiers, especially their manicured leader Lucan, didn't take long to exploit their discovers. The recent occupied bed were only the first mistakes to catch their recon skills. The slick black armored chakram wielder made his teasing loud enough to frighten the group that concealed themselves in the shadows. However, Adi decided to take the opportunity to create a diversion for the others to escape. Not only that, but her horse was startled by the collaboration of noise to the point where it drew attention to itself. What could the gypsy expect from her loyal companion...subtly? Highly unlike for a small minded quadruped, although her and Nyru owned the farm animal their lives for transporting them to the Inkwell. Even though, Adi was invisible and could easily conjure a distraction Isabelle insisted that she needed her aid.
Lucan's beautiful groomed mustached paled skinned complexion must have been stricken with fear at the moment. The siblings voice echoed through the room as if a ghost had been haunting it for centuries, at least it would seem that way in the eyes of all the men. Apparently, Isabelle didn't appreciate the fact that their leader was defiling their sleeping quarters. Releasing a flammable whip one of the guards was propelled into a thick concrete wall, the other wasn't deemed so luckily.
Nyru eagerly divulged himself from the shadows and rendered a man unconscious with the hilt of his blade. Claudia wasn't to far behind on the action either at she left a shadow arrow stab a random victim in the back. The solider felt all the pain he could muster surge in that area until he fell to the ground limply, not dead though. Summoning another arrow, she into the sea of bodies and lunged the bow with the arrow still strung on it forward. The tip of the arrowhead punctured a male's forehead, drawing no blood, and he fell to the ground instantly. Another came up and tried to stab her, but she ducked and knocked him to the floor with one swift motion of her leg. Of course, she kicked him hard across the face to immobilize him long enough for her to maneuver her way over to the captain.
Rolling off an opponent's back, and deflecting another's attack the blonde was drawing closer to her true target. Another projectile was released and penetrated a man right in the chest. One less obstacle the them of supposed criminals had to confront. Lucan was not far from her sights and soon he would be in submission by her shadowmancy.
