Valik smirked at his brother, only to receive a punch in the nose from the hefty man, sending Valik on his back. He scooted back up to his position and stuck his tongue out at Boothe. Boothe just rolled his eyes.
Sebastian shook his head playfully at the two. "Well, it's the obvious yet brilliant answer," he replied. He stood, as if he was acting as a motivational speaker. "Think about it," he started, talking with his hands.
"Here we go." Boothe huffed, getting comfortable. Sebastian ignored him.
"News travels fast in this realm, we all know. Even if the people aren't effected by the nekos yet, they will rebel when they find out about their homeland being destroyed," he looked between the three with wide eyes. "I'm sure there are already groups building up. They're building up as we speak."
Valik nodded. "Well, yeah. It's natural instinct to rebel against crap like this." he said. "But where are they, and how do we find them?" he raised an eyebrow.
Sebastian dropped his arms, looking stooped. "You see, that's the problem." he sighed as he sat back down.
Valik smiled. "We search for them." he looked at Sebastian, then at Selia. He looked as if he had a new energy in him, like motivation.
Boothe frowned. "Do you know how long that could take?" he looked at them as if they weren't thinking. "We could be searching for years. And by then the whole realm could be done and over with!"
Sebastian shook his head, gaining Valik's smile. "No, no. Don't you see? There are thousands of villages and cities. I bet you ten shillings that there's a village, or, hell, a freaking rebel hide out a few miles outta here." he waved his arm out to express his point, raising a challenging eyebrow at Boothe.Valik nodded enthusiastically in agreement with Sebastian.

Selia was standing as well. "We have five people. Two miles out each, we can reach other easily, and cover so much more ground." The idea was forming. An army of races, all fighting for one thing. This was something worth fighting for. this was a silent war now, but in a matter of days, it could be something closer to the last war the realm had seen over one hundred years ago. She looked at Valik and Sebastian, her eyes wide with ideas and enlightenment of the rebellion possibilty.
Valerie listened in, and sat up. "We have cities on our sides already. Home towns, friends, families. The number may seem small to each individual, but when they all spread the word, it can reach thousands." She shrugged it off like it was the most obvious thing in the whole discussion.
Selia nodded, almost jumping. "Hell, I have a whole kingdom! And Valerie's home town, and towns close to yours!" She pointed at Sebastian when she said this, knowing they must have traveled nearby their former home.

Valik's smile grew wider, his teeth showing. "It's going to happen," he blurted.
Sebastian nodded. "We bring the people we find back to our camp," he added, "or we compromise with them."
"I don't know if traveling alone is the greatest idea, though." Valik said, being the first negative thing out of his mouth.
Sebastian nodded. "True." he said. "I can go alone. Valik will go with Valerie, and Boothe will go with Selia." he said, deciding.
Valik nodded, as well as Boothe. "Sounds good to me." Valik said. Boothe wasn't too sure of the idea of Sebastian being alone, but judging by Sebastian's thoughts, he wouldn't be running away again. So he agreed to the plan.
"We should wake up early." Boothe suggested.

Selia beamed, finally feeling a sense of hope in this attack. "Indeed we should." Selia murmured in agreement, and leaned against the tree behind her. A cold breeze sent shivers down her spine, but didn't bother her. A warm fire was in front of her, and something of a plan was ready to be executed in the morning. A rebellion. Who would have thought? She would have to make a trip back to Scarilive soon and reclaim the crown. Her brother was dead, so there was no male heir, leaving herself. Trained troops, weapons, food, and other supplies would be laying in heaps there, just waiting. It could be a fortress, a base, anything now. Selia dozed off thinking of the possibilities.
Valerie leaned against the same tree as Selia, falling asleep easily. The morning and day would be long, and she was glad of having someones company. Though she would prefer being alone, it would be nice in the long run. Two was better than one, anyway.

Boothe had already fallen asleep, filling the night air with his incessant snoring. Until very late in the night, Sebastian and Valik excitedly talked about how things could end up and how they would avoid certain obstacles. Eventually, they fell asleep.
Valik was the first to wake. He checked on Valerie, then started the fire back up again. He sat down, watching as Sebastian twitched in his sleep. More nightmares. Valik concluded. Then, of all people, Boothe woke. They said their good mornings to each other; Valik having obvious excitement about the day's plans. "You must admit that it's possible." Valik said. Boothe shrugged.
"It's just risky is all. I don't want anybody else hurt. I've already almost lost both you and Sebastian a few times." Boothe explained. Valik nodded, understanding.

Selia woke with a start. Valik and Boothe were both already awake, chatting. She caught Boothe's last sentence, then stood to stretch. "Where are we off to today, Boothe?" She yawned and sat back down, slumping. The night was cold and comforting in her sleep, refilling her with a new energy. It just had to wake up, too.
Valerie woke up soon after Selia, yawning as well. "Hmm?" She looked around for Ryan, forgetting for a moment he was gone. Her eyes and head sank when she remembered he was feet beneath the ground miles away. She scooted closer to the fire, folding her hands in her lap.

Boothe clasped his hands in his lap. "Well, your kingdom has valuable supplies, yes?" he looked at her. "I could teleport there. I've used that power once around you, but that's when you had amnesia," he chuckled, then got serious. "The power takes much of my energy, though, but I'd be able to have enough time to recharge by the time we'd come back." he shrugged. "It's a long s**t, but it'll work." he added with a smile.
Valik looked again at Valerie. "Morning," he said with a smile.

(LONG s**t HMMM?XD)
Selia nodded, waking up more. "Yes, it does. And you could have all day if you needed. There really isn't much of a threat there at the moment." She rolled her shoulders, and saw Sebastian. "Should he be going on his own again?" She asked Boothe in a hushed voice, remembering his last escape plan. It wasn't a trust issue, just a fear of loss.
Valerie gave a half smile to Valik. "Good morning, Valik. How'd you sleep?" She was talking quietly, still tired from just waking. Snow on the branches above was melting slightly in the sun, and a large drop of the slush landed on Valerie. She squealed at the cold as it ran down her back, her arms in front of her face and back arched.
Selia tried to stifle her laugh, but failed incredibly. She leaned back, clutching her sides, laughing like a small child. She had the same laugh as her mother, very high and sweet, like bells.

(YEEEES BOOTHE'S GOTTA DROP ALL DAT WEIGHT)
Boothe smiled. "Perfect!" he cheered. "When should we leave, anyway? Up to you." he asked. Boothe himself was starting to appreciate the idea of this army; of this revolution.
Valik chuckled at Valerie. "Well I slept pretty good." he answered, rubbing Valerie's back quickly to give her warmth, then backing away again. "Are you ready for a new adventure?" he challenged.

Selia caught her breath and regained composure. "Hell, let's just leave once Sebastian wakes up." She shrugged, realizing how odd it will be having everyone split up. Though it hadn't been long, they all have connections to each other, been there for each other. Like family. Selia couldn't help but smile.
Valerie just gave a smile. "Of course." She replied with ease, though she hid her fear. There was nothing left for her out there, why fight for it? She felt the same sense of a family concept with the group around her, and that was it. What happened after? They all go separate ways and hope to run into each other? The idea haunted her, but never showed. There was just a smile on a pale woman's face.

"Okay!" Boothe said. He then turned to Sebastian and punched him in the shoulder, jolting Sebastian awake.
"s**t!" Sebastian yelped, gripping his shoulder. "You little p***k." he squeaked. Valik chuckled. Boothe shrugged.
"Okay, let's go," Boothe stood with ease, as if there had been no wound to his leg. Boothe was filled with adrenaline, ready to go. Valik shook his head at his brother as if Boothe was some circus freak. Boothe then explained to Selia to hold Boothe's wrists, and he'd hold hers, then for her to take a deep breath before he'd teleport. "Ready?" he asked after explaining.

Selia nodded, and gripped Boothe's wrists. Her hands barely covered half of the wrist.
Valerie looked at Valik. "I guess we should be going as well." She said quietly, standing up and brushing off the dirt and leaves that stuck to her small frame.

With that, Boothe and Selia disappeared. Valik then jumped to his feet, turning to a were in mid air. He landed on all fours. "Hop on," he smiled, excited to search for others.
Sebastian waved good bye at them. "Return here at the end of the day at the latest," he reminded, then hopped onto his horse and sped off North.

Selia gasped as the reappeared, standing at the edge of her kingdom. A few kids ran by the enterance, kicking a ball and laughing. Selia felt her body relax and an easy smile cross her face. "Welcome to my home at it's best." She said to Boothe, still looking at the empty street ahead. There was a warm breeze, bringing pleasent chills in the cold air. There was frost everywhere, starting to melt with the rising sun. "Would you like to rest a while and then go in?"
Valerie nodded and climbed onto Valik's back, almost uncomfortable from the heat. She was used to the colder climate, being a cold person already. The sun was on the rise, more snow was dropping from the trees.

Boothe leaned on his thighs, just above his knee caps. "Yes, yes," he answered with a breath. "You can go ahead." he added as he sat on the wet ground. "I'm getting too old for this." he muttered with a smirk.
As soon as Valerie adjusted herself, Valik darted off. "Hope you're not afraid of a little speed," he teased, a grin spreading on his snout as he sprinted even faster. A few moments passed, then he spoke up again. "Let me know if you see anything." he said. Valik was too focused on what was in front of him to pay attention to other things at the moment.
