Zen was suprised at the elves. Just like everyone else though, he didn't know what was happening until he realized that the elves were giving them all hugs. He just shrugged his shoulders and waited for them to let go. A hug was the least the group deserved for saving this forest. Then Zen followed the others. He couldn't wait for the celebration that he had heard.

Asteria, who was gliding over head, noticed that of the members of the group had climbed into a nearby tree. Thinking it odd, she lowered her altitude slightly, hoping to find out why. Her hawk eyes saw a glint of metal in the boy's hands which made her watch more closely. The boy hadn't said anything, but she could tell by his body language that he was frustrated. She wondered what was so frustrating to the boy, but decided to let it go. In the mean time, she would continue to soar over the group, noticing that the elf village was not very far off in the distance.
Damon noticed Sinatriun coming up to his side, Liah was on his other side and his bulk had hid her from view. He noticed that she was quiet, seeming a little solemn. 'The other elves.' His thoughts wandered to what he knew about them. Not many could shape shift, that he knew, but he wondered why one would just enter an adventure out of the blue. There had to be something more than that to it. Blinking, he nodded to her. "Good work." He said under his breath. "You fought well." He guessed already that she wouldn't respond. Something about her posture told him there was a reason she wasn't talking.
Liah sighed, her happiness still showing clearly on her face and through her actions. "It's so glorious!" Her beaming face showing nothing but joy. "Everything is so...so...alive." Dead things had surrounded her for so long, that she couldn't get over the sight of the living. Noticing movment on the other side of her wolf companion, she realized that it was Sintariun. "Oh, hello Sin--" Damon gave a low grunt, silencing her. "Damon, wha-"
'It would be better if you didn't mention her name aloud.' Damon said using their mind connection. "She doesn't want it to be heard at the moment."
Liah nodded her understanding, realizing that she had been careless not to think of it. These were other elves, it was obvious Sintariun was worried about being taken back to her kingdom. "I'm glad you're ok." She said finally while Damon translated. Suddenly, remembering that she hadn't checked if everyone was here, she looked around. After counting the members, she noticed that there weren't enough people walking. Recounting just to be sure, she tried to figure out who wasn't among the travelers. "Seirei!" She gasped, her heart dropping. "And..where's Jason?" Looking around with worry, she tried to locate them. 'Asteria!' She called in her head. 'Do you know where Seirei and Jason are?'
Asteria responded overhead. 'Jason is a bit farther back. But I am not sure of Seirei's whereabouts.'
Liah's heart continued to drop as she realized Seirei was missing. "Oh no." She muttered. "I hope he's alright." 'Keep looking for him...maybe he'll turn up.' She listened to Asteria's reply, and hoped he would show up soon. Losing a member of the group was not an option.

((Hope no one minds, but we're doing a little time skip to the celebration))
The sun dropped lazily passed the western horizon, the leaves rustled in the wind, seeming to create their own brand of music, but the forests natural beauty was not the most interesting sight.
Back in the clearing, near the base of the giant oak was a grand celebration. magical lights and decorations were everywhere. Tables stood at either end of the clearing laded with food and drink. Music played as Elves danced, laughing and singing. It was amazing what they could do in just a few hours!
Ramiel grumbled slightly off in a corner by the oak. The grumble wasn't due to a lack of wanting to be there, or even his distaste for large crowds, but because of the swarm of young elven girls that surrounded him with their ceaseless chattering and questions, would they ever shut up!? He sighed slightly, his eyes combed over them slowly How quickly they forget... he thought to himself before adjusting his head band, an ornate gold trim showed vibrantly on all his cloths, it was what he referred to his formal wear.
The girls giggled slightly as they continued to swarm around him. Ramiel simply sighed as he looked for a way to escape these girls. His eyes combed the party, spotting all the elves in their party wear, he wondered if the others in the group had been dragged around by elven seamstresses as well.
Ramiel however wasn't the only one with Fan girls this evening. Off in another corner of the celebration stood a very distraught looking elven male. Several females swarmed around him, looking at him with pleading eye's. He seemed to be backing away from them slowly, his eyes often flicking to an open book in his hands. It would seem he came to the wrong place if he wanted to read.
Out in the tree's a deep blue-gray eye watched the celebration, the lone eye scanning the contents of the party from the darkness. A flash of white teeth showed for an instant. It would seem whoever this watcher was, was rather pleased with his find since the rebirth of the forest.

As soon as they had arrived at the Elven village, she was immediately swept away by two seamstresses who were already thinking up ideas for a brand new dress. "Damon!" She called as they two dragged her away. "Damon, help me!" Although cautious, Damon only chuckled.
They arrived at a small little hut which smelled of earth inside. Ordering Liah to stand in the center, they got to work choosing various dresses they believed would work.
"What a pretty girl." One of the elves said with a slight accent.
"Yes." The other agreed. "It's a shame such an attractive young woman is wearing these pitiful clothes." Liah was a little hurt. She looked down at her hand stitched leather pants and her light cotton top. "They're not that bad." She said defensively. Her voice was timid all the same. The elves only laughed, the sound echoing like bells against the walls of the hut.
"We've got to hurry." One said as they both deftly began undressing her. Liah looked flustered, trying to shield herself from them. "Stop fussing or you'll be late." Sighing, Liah gave in and let them finish.
When she came out of the hut, she seemed to radiate with light. The dress they had picked out for her was maroon. It seemed to flow like water with her movements which made it appear as if she were gliding across the ground. They had even supplied her with comfortable heeled shoes which matched the dress.
At the party, she was very timid and shy. She stood on the outskirts with a glass of purple liquid in her hand. Sipping it, she wondered why she had let herself come here. Crowds did not suit her.

Gia had been adorned in clothing different from what she was wearing. She was still injured from the battle, but spent her time during the party away from those that celebrated just sitting against the wall. Her left hand was set against her stomach casting a healing spell. She had to heal the damage done and not sure if anyone would dare to heal her. Gia knew of fear of those with wings, but said nothing when her wings began to slowly come back. She purposely asked for a dress that had no back when finally her silvery wings came back.
Gia just decided it best she didn’t join the festivities this night, not while she was tending to injuries. It might cause issues, so she would stand up and walk away to stand outside. She preferred it least this time. Her mind stayed with wondering about the dragons back home. Her voice would be humming though a song that she remembered from her home that sounded just like a lullaby, it helped her concentrate on healing the wounds inside her body. This night would be for the others of the group to enjoy.

Sari was garbed in clothes very similar to the clothes she had worn, since she had insisted the seamstress made them that way, save the fact that the dress was slightly longer and everything had been decorated with beads and intricate designs had been sewn into them. She was talking to a few other elves when she noticed the elven man being pestered by girls. “Mysia sai ailaeser, sher air maes saesi ei taraes Ai ter sael sai.” She said leaving the group.
Once she was a little ways from everyone else and she had made sure no one was looking her way at the moment, she used the same spell she had used twice that day. The first time was to find the building with the red roof; the second time was to antagonize the undead elf. A dark blob appeared on the ground and it broke up into about three dozen darklings. She told them to make the girls around the elf get away from him. They left and began to bounce towards the elven girls. Once they got there bounce onto them and began to antagonize them in anyway they could. Sari I couldn’t help but laugh; if the elves reacted like most human girls did, than it would be quite fun to watch.
(Sorry to interrupt, but it seems there a matter I must tend to.)

Sintariun looked around at the elven city and watched as the elves danced and sang their songs yearning to join them but not willing to possibly ruin her plan. Watching as the others were whisked away, Sintariun sneaked her way past and went towards a forlorn ivy engulfed building. The place overlooked the celebration and Sintariun itched to get out of this form even for a short while.
Stretching as her body returned to an elven state, Sintariun looked at herself, no one would think that she was royalty, hopefully. Spinning as she heard something, a little elf girl came forward sheepishly. Smiling, Sintariun knelt to be eye-level with the girl as she scurried forward and handed the older female a pristine white rose. Accepting it, Sintariun said, Dwomc uay reddri ami. Hwu olim'd uay tahm od dwi kiriplodeam?
Sensing something, the elf turned and went to the window, something was here. Turning back to apologize to the girl, Sintariun saw no one. Glancing around not a trace of the girl was there. Looking down the rose remained within her hand. Sighing, Sintariun put it in her hair, transformed back into a panther and rejoined the crew with a rose behind her ear just as Liah came out. Purring, Sintariun stayed close to her side.
(Thank you little one. Why aren't you down at the celebration?)
A solemn figure stood underneath a tree breathing heavily. He'd just arrived at the elven city to see them celebrating, "No surprise," he muttered. Straightening and dusting himself off, the elven man moved towards the party when he saw a completely different party within the one occurring. "Humans...animals, what's happened here..."
The elf continued to move towards the celebration when suddenly was approached by numerous females. Raising a silver eyebrow to all of them the girls squealed and tugged at his arms for him to come join them. Instead of fighting it, the elf allowed them to lead him to a table and sit him down close to the other party that seemed to have been invited. Remaining silent, the elf watched everything wondering if he could possibly find out information from these new beings.

Jason heard the festival being played and looked back towards the elven settlement. There were bright lights there signaling that they were probably having a feast. Jason on the other hand was not hungry at all. In fact, he felt disgusted for some odd reason. Looking down, he noticed a large bundle of arrows, probably from one of the elves and then climbed down the tree. Jason sighed as he picked them up and looked around, not seeing anyone so he decided that they had left long before. Jason placed the arrows back into the quiver he held and then started to think. Ripping a rather flat piece of bark from a nearby tree, Jason slipped it into the quiver making a new pouch separating the two sets of arrows. Taking the two cracked pendants, he placed it upon the outside of the quiver and observed as the magic from the pendants started to be absorbed by the arrows, infusing them with new powers.
Jason, surprised by this, quickly climbed to the very top of the tree which was very high up. Jason drew out one of the arrows, having absorbed the magic from the Dragon's pendant, and drew it on the string. Suddenly, a name formed in his mind as he prepared to let the arrow loose. "Huelga Llameante," said Jason as the arrow left the bow. Soon right after, the arrow was engulfed in flame flying through the air but what was surprising was that it had taken the form of a dragon's head. Jason was taken aback by this and then looked at his other set of arrows, absorbing the magic that had come from the elf and picked it up. His eyes watched as the magic started to engulf him and he started to think how would this be used. Jason quickly took the arrow and then thrust it's pointed end at his chest almost suddenly whispering, "Reflexiones de la Sombra." As the arrow struck, he also whispered, "Dos." Opening his eyes after feeling no pain, he looked around and there were two more of him and he was surprised.
Jason touched one and it was solid and smiled. He pulled the arrow out and found that the clones disappeared. He felt his chest and found that it too, had no wound and smiled even more... It seems that with more magical items, he may be able to craft powerful techniques as well an he was liking this. Jason then slipped the arrow back into his quiver and descended down upon the tree branch and stared at the two pendants, still in awe from their abilities.

Liah sighed, absently twirling a lock of hair between her fingers. The fact that Seirei hadn't shown up yet which worried her immensely. "I hope Seirei's okay." She muttered to no one in particular, though Sintariun was right next to her in her panther form. Before she arrived, Liah had checked with Asteria who said she still hadn't seen him. The purple liquid in her glass was rich and sweet, the feeling of warmth traveled down to her stomach when she swallowed. Briefly, she wondered what was in the glass, deciding it would be better not to think about it. She watched all the people who were dancing and having a good time, wishing the energy she had before was still with her.

Deciding to play like one of Liah's animals, she gave a soft mew to get her attention. Putting her paw on the girl's dress, the elf's eyes were trained on the glass she held. Licking her lips, Sintariun nearly drooled recognizing what it was.
Hearing the female but not understanding, the elf could tell she was worried about something. Nuzzling against her side to try and comfort her but not sure if she could, Sintariun purred softly for Liah's benefit.

Liah smiled down at the beautiful panther, petting her head. She noticed the longing expression the cat had on her face and glanced at the drink in her hand. "Want some?" She questioned, placing the cup on the ground for her friend. "There you are." She smiled down at the cat, stroking her fur once more. "How long do you plan on staying like that, I wonder." It was more to herself than to Sintariun.

Sintariun eagerly lapped up the juice and purred happily up at Liah with some of the juice still on her lips but quickly licked it away. Feeling her get petted, Sintariun leaned into her hand then looked around and gave a quizzical meow wondering where the others were, Damon and Asteria.
Looking to the elves, Sintariun had a sense of longing, she missed her homeland but if she didn't come she had the feeling that she wouldn't have one once she returned at least here she could help. Sniffing something, the elf paused and looked around almost frantically.
The male elf's gaze narrowed as he watched the others and one person in particular caught his attention, the one with the regal feline beside her. Something about that cat, wasn't normal it didn't act feral yet seemed to be out of place somehow. Seeing the flower in the panther's hair, the elf remained silent waiting for something to happen it seemed.
To tame a panther, took alot of skill and that was very rare to even find a panther. Sighing, the elf wondered something and stood to approach the female.

Jason sighed as he let the quiver he held rest itself sideways upon the tree branch, the pendants power still filling him with magic. Jason then gazed up into the night sky and observed the moon. It was large and full, blinding out the other stars in it's brilliant light. Jason merely looked at it and muttered, "Beautiful." The light from the moon would shine off the pendant given to him from Gia towards Liah, possibly catching her attention if she, too, looked into the sky.

Liah sense what Sintariun was asking. "I'm not sure." She said, shrugging to indicate she didn't know. Glancing up at the sky, she noticed a brilliant flash of light which glinted noticeably against the darkness. Curious as to where it came from, she was about to turn around when she noticed out of the corner of her eye that there was an elf approaching them. Not knowing what to do, she turned to him, a questioning look on her face. "Hello." She said finally, petting Sintariun out of habit as she usually did with Damon.

Sintariun froze as she caught sight of the elf coming close to her and Liah. Feeling the pet, the elf quickly turned and ran away. Not him! Not him! Sintariun knew the one that had come towards the two, a guard from her homeland, she mustn't be seen.
The elf noticed the feline run and he watched as the feline ran, he had a feeling in his gut he'd come onto something. Glancing down at the female, the elf flashed a smile and bowed. "Greetings, I don't mean to offend but might I ask you a few questions about your panther," it would be a shock to Liah to find that the elf could speak perfect English. "It's very rare to see one so far from home."
