Sari sighed. It didn’t seem like these people were going to be very fun to travel with. She began to listen to the conversaion between the bird and the Elven girl. She wanted to tell the girl she’d be happy to help her, although she knew she it was unlikely she be needed. She no longer spoke fluent elven since she barely spoke it, so she had t think for a minute before speaking. “Tajju maj elkijjohkedym, syk E gaynb neti uay ka tlag E gaynb di xohhiu ka xinh em litivvoju.” She said to the girl (Sintariun), hoping she had said everything correctly.
(Sorry for interrupting, but I would like for you to know I would also be happy to help if necessary.)

Alwyn looked around before she spoke. "My name is Alwyn I am 16 years of age and i am a half elf, half human half elf. I am also a Thief" She added as an after thought if she was going to be traveling with these people then she might as well not hide anything that could be used against her later on. Though she figured it better to leave her abilities with the wind and premonition to herself for the time being. She didnt want to lay all information at their feet.

Sintariun laughed light-heartedly as people began to talk to her but kept her gaze on the hawk and owner. Dwomc uay Ozdileo, dwod hayrt pi o jliod wirb. Hearing Ramiel again give his snort, the elf wanted to say something and saw that he seemed to be in deep thought. Letting it go, she knew that eventually if he kept this attitude up that they'd butt heads sooner or later.
Glancing up at the next man who spoke (Zen) Sintariun nodded to him in greeting although she couldn't understand him. Blinking as she heard another speak elven, Sintariun turned to the female (Sari) and smiled. Dwomc uay vilu nykw, dwi nali biabri dwi piddil jyzd da pi zofi. Ed ez o briozyli da niid uay...yn E tam'd pireivi E koyjwd uayl moni, nemi ez Sintariun. As she spoke, the elf gave a bow to the female.
Sintariun felt it rather interesting that where she'd come from she was considered the next to the throne and soon alot of respect from all in the village, but here it's like she was just another person, different race, but nothing special; she kind of liked it. Suddenly a name caught her attention (Alwyn). Glancing at the female, Sintariun gazed at her trying to place where she'd seen her before or even if she had but something was familiar about her.
(Thank you Asteria, that would be a great help.)
(Thank you very much, the more people the better just to be safe. It is a pleasure to meet you...um I don't believe I caught your name, mine is Sintariun.)

Liah turned her head as the other's started to introduce themselves. She realized once Zen has spoken that she hadn't told the other's her age. "I'm glad I'm not the only younger one of the group. I'm 16 like he is." She looked rather shy about it, being young wasn't something she was proud of. In fact, her youth always made people judge her abilities.
Asteria shifted position on Liah's shoulder and nodded. Being around her companion for so long had taught her certain human gestures. All of a sudden, she heard Damon speak in her head. Because of Liah, all three shared the same ability to hear each other in that way.
'Are you almost finished?' The deep voice of the large wolf asked. He was getting impatient. 'Finish up the introductions and come out here.'
Liah smiled at the protectiveness of her friend. 'Alright Damon. We'll be out as soon as we can.' She heard him snort which made her smile even wider. It was then that she realized that smiling in front of people randomly like that would make her look foolish. It didn't take much effort to hide it again and look down with embarrassment. "Well...I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm wondering where we'll have to go first." Asteria automatically translated to Sintariun, trying to make a habit of it so that she would do it for her benefit.

Sari had to think a moment bfore replying. “E oh Sari, ek et o jniotyji ka fiik uay, Sintariun.” She said, bowing just as Sintariun had. After that she made the disk go about two feet higher and sat down on the disk, letting her leg dangle over the edge. She waited for the owner of the cabin’s response to the question that had been asked because she was eager to find out where they were supposed to go.
(I am Sari, it is a pleasure to meet you, Sintariun)

Watching as the others introduced themselves, Rain had no intention to. If people wanted to speak with her fine but this was supposed to be something to cure her boredom not a socialite party and much to her disdain she was already starting to loose interest once more just standing there. The only half way amusing one was Ramiel and only because he was a mystery. Sadly though history had taught her not all mysteries were interesting and sometimes just over played.
Izrail stood there like a shy child unsure of what to say and mostly feeling invisible. Her home was far away and it was all she ever knew though she kept trying to tell herself she wanted to be here. To get away from death and the time that seemed to fly faster than she as all those she knew died and she never aged. Looking to Ramiel as he stood by the window she asked in a small voice, "Do you really think that any of us can find it?"

"AH yes, well, although I have little information on the rest of the orbs, I've discovered almost the exact location of one" Ovan said, making sure his voice would be heard above anyone else that was still talking. "The orb you'll be going to find first is the Orb of Wind. Its location is in a forest west of here, or should I say it was a forest, however now its...."
"Oh HEEEELL NO!" Ramiel suddenly said standing up from the wall as he cut off Ovan; turning to the Angel he continued "You don't seriously mean I have to lead them there!? Why!? Why of all the places in this god forsaken planet did it have to be there!?" Ramiel said, his voice loud, and his tone not exactly one of being pleased.
Ovan nodded a second then raised his hand as if to silence Ramiel for the time being "Yes, I understand why you wouldn't want to return there, but for the sake of every living being you must, and you will lead them , no one still alive knows the place like you do. Now, if your done interrupting me I shall continue" He said calmly before turning to the others
"As I was saying you must travel west of here to what was once a forest. At one time it was a beautiful haven of nature, ruled by a large population of elves, it was said amongst them were some of the elves greatest sorcerers. Alas, thgat is no longer true. Ling ago something happened, it causes the forest and all that remained within it to wither and die. All that is left are the rotten remains....however, that isn't to say the forest doesn't contain life...or should I say Un-life. The forest is now home to a great many undead, their corpses tainted and brought back from death by the magical residue left behind by the forests destruction. There are also other creatures, there simply to feed and devour the rotten flesh of those once living. It is a place of great peril, and if you get lost, you may never return..." Ovan then placed his hand gently on Ramiel's shoulder and continued to speak "That is why Ramiel shall guide you through the forest. You'll have to follow his leadership precisely while in there, I know you may not want to, but he's the only thing alive or dead thats left that forest in 3000 years" His words finished Ovan sat down, waiting for the others responses.
Ramiel sighed slightly, placing his hand near his face as he leaned back against the wall "By the four great dragons, I am cursed aren't I" He said, almost seeming amused by this fact, as if it was some morbid joke.

Rain raised a hand to suppress a laugh at the mans outburst before she stopped leaning against the wall a hungrier look in her eyes at the mention of the undead. Reanimating a corpse was possible and she could keep one walking for several days if she tried but a place where the energy was so concentrated. Though they sounded mindless, the dead were her business and she could find a way to control them. Thankful for the deep black goggles that covered her eyes her eager look tamed for the moment, "Well that is the first interesting thing I have heard all day." she said in an almost bored voice though her posture said otherwise. Rain looked around the crowd all at once anxious to leave.
Izrail jumped when the man yelled so suddenly. Enclosed spaces bothered her beyond all belief and she wished they could have spoken outside. Listening to what was being said she smiled at the prospect of traveling and being out in the open again though she did hope they wouldn't expect her to walk. Making her wonder if anyone had actually seen her land in the tree before climbing down earlier, "When are we leaving?" she asked in another small voice.

Liah's eyes widened as Ovan spoke. Asteria ruffled her feathers nervously and she could hear Damon's audible growl from outside the cabin walls.
'I've heard of that place.' Damon said morbidly. 'It's not a place for a young girl such as yourself. I forbid you from going any farther with this quest.' His voice was firm.
Liah sighed. 'I'll deal with you later.' She said curtly through their mind connection. She looked around at the others, wondering if they would continue with the quest regardless of the dangers set before them. She knew they would, and she would as well. It had already crossed her mind that it would be dangerous, she was willing to accept that. Damon, on the other hand, wasn't. She wondered how Ramiel has survived such a place, it seemed so morbid and forlorn. He certainly didn't seem like he wanted to return there by any means.

Sintariun listened as the two spoke this time not surprised at Ramiel's outburst. Hearing about the forest, the elf went stark still. Her people told ghost stories about that place and the cursed within it. They had relied solely on magic and in the end it consumed them literally.
Shivering, the elf was reluctant to go there but knew she needed to to save her forest from the same fate, and her people. All she wanted to do now was just to get in and get out that was all.

Sari wasn’t the least bit scared by Ovan’s description, in fact it almost sounded familiar. No I couldn’t have ever been there, the angel said no one had ever come out alive in three thousand years, and I doubt I’ that old. She told herself. She was exited that she was going in the forest; a few zombies weren’t going to scare her. “It’s time for you to go.” She murmured to the darkling, plucking him off her shoulder and dropping it into her other hand. She leaned in close to it and whispered something as if she was speaking to it and then it disappeared. She was now ready to go.

Jason chuckled and then stood up. "Alright, then. I'll be outside waiting for the rest of you all to finish what you have to do here. I never really liked being cramped in a small place. Makes me a bit nervous," said Jason as he then walked to the door. His hood quickly flying back over his head, hiding his facial features other than his mouth. As he emerged from the cabin, Jason pulled off his bow and just as quickly drew an arrow, holding the bow with his left hand. Placing the arrow into the string of the bow, Jason pulled the arrow back and took aim at a rather small target about 60 yards away. Using the ability given to him through his dragon eyes, he let the arrow loose, piercing his target almost perfectly. His shot was off by nearly a degree when it hit. "I'm getting rusty," muttered Jason as he placed his bow back within the cloak.

Sari hopped off the disk of dark mate and it disappeared. She then left the cabin and stood by Jason. “So you were here for the quest.” She said looking up at him. She examined him thoroughly; trying to figure out what was different about him than other humans. It was clear he wasn’t normal but she couldn’t put her finger on it.

"I'm only here so I can gain the love of my family again and live a normal life... It's been nearly 11 years now when that day happened... Go figure... So, your here for the rewards or what," asked Jason as he turned his head towards Sari, his hood still covering the features of his upper face in darkness. He could see everything about her and his eyes could make out every faint feature upon her figure.

"To tell you the truth I was bored. I woke up in the forest and I couldn't remember anything about my past. I've just wondered around since then, and when I found out about this quest I just decided to go. I really don't care about the money or any of that." Sari said. She grabbed her wolf tail and began to delicately stroke it, examining it.
