Welcome to Gaia! ::

The prisoner, a young, somewhat androgynous-looking elf with straight, medium-length black hair, pale skin and reddish-brown eyes, also started. "Bryce?" it exclaimed, in a voice which also left its gender rather in question. At the moment, the elf was looking a little roughed-up, as you'd expect from a prisoner; manacles bound his wrists. These manacles had a variety of mystical-looking runes upon them. "Wh... what are you doing here?!"

Throngar ambled over and inspected the elf. "Friend of yours, Blondey?" he assumed, glancing at the Champion.

"Dear me..." Alcharius murmured from Jinx's head.

Bryce hed out his hand to Felix, and gently pulled him out of the cage "Hm... Gorum, can you break these shackles?" Asked Bryce, holding out Felix's arms to the dwarf, who took a step back, and brought his axe back behind his head. With all his Might, Gorum smashed through the shackles.

"Nothing," Alcharius answered Jinx... a little too quickly. Clearly it was something.

Felix meanwhile, the shackles broken, placed a hand on either manacle. In but a couple of seconds, each one snapped and he was able to prise them off with more ease than he should have had considering how strong the metal had looked.

Throngar raised an eyebrow. "Ah. An alchemist I see," he surmised.

Felix gave a nod. "Felix Marigold," he introduced himself, glancing round at each face. His eyes seemed to linger on Jinx a few seconds longer than the others... before long, though, he turned back to Bryce and smiled. It was a slightly tired-looking but sincere expression. "Hey Bryce," he greeted his old friend. "What's up? Going to introduce me to your new friends?"

"Oh, right. This is Gorum. His twin brother Throngar. My fellow Champions LaCroix and Illidan. And that's Jinx and Lilium. Oh, and of course Alcharius." Bryce pointed to each companion as he mentioned thie respective names.

Jinx walked over to introduce herself.

Lilium wrinkled her nose a bit at her being included in the list of companions. "Remember Bryce, I am here as a temporary travelling companion, not part of your party." She wasnt going to stop her way of life for what, killing a few Blecks? They had made it this far on their own. On the other hand, the forest had been rather dull lately other then the bleck, perhaps it would be a nice change. She knelt down by some of the Blecks (And some of their ashes), collecting the arrows from them. She twirled one or two as she did so, then stood up and brushed the ash from her boots with an almost casual look. A leathered glove stuck out at Felix, "Lilium." Her voice was a smooth one, but had a habit of words coming out with a harsh tone.

Bryce chuckled to himself at Jinx's dropping of her knives. Then looked over at Lilium for a moment. "Yes yes, leave when you wish to." He agreed nonchalantly. He turned his attention back to Felix. "Ruffed you up a bit, huh? Why'd they capture you?"

Felix gave Jinx an amused look as she dropped her knives, but he then heard Bryce's question. "Ah, well... they wanted my... research. You know what I mean, right?" He seemed a little uncomfortable saying it out loud.

"Oh? What's this?" Throngar pressed all the same as heard what Felix said.
