Unfortunately, the day seemed to linger on and on and on to the elf. The dark was not coming fast enough for her patience. She looked over to Vincent before pulling her knees to her chest, yawning lightly. A nap would be great right now, but I can't sleep. I truly can't sleep. And those thoughts were true, Aeris couldn't sleep, not only for fear of being caught, but because her mind wouldn't let her. So she sat and stared at the sun as he it slowly made it way down to sleep.
As soon as night arrived, the elf grinned, take a quick look around. It seemed as if no one patrolled the grounds at night, leaving her and Vincent a good amount of time to search for her sister. "Let's go. Hopefully, the littlest elf back there didn't tell of what we're doing." She smirked and winked at the blue-haired demon before making her way out into the grounds.

Vincent had begun to drift off just waiting there for night to fall. When it did he was in a light sleep that Aeris awoke him from. He smirked and nodded to her before following her out into the grounds.
His tail twitched in anticipation as they neared the oracles whereabouts. And as they got closer the place grew more beautiful. "It is wonderful in here. I could live here and be happy as hell." Vincent whispered to himself.

((Randomly intrudes...xD ))
FlashBANG! Seemingly out of nowhere a storm appeared, and from it a spinning vortex that split the heavens in two. The sky lit up with a burst of gold. The beam created lurched from cloud to earth, striking the mountain where the group currently resided--while it was nowhere close enough to their location to be fatal, it did leave a good-sized crater in the forest. Immediately following was a figure, body blending in with the night, falling with a yowl as it approached the crater.
Splat.
Ghost Perkins groaned but remained motionless. Rest assured he would be confused in the minutes passing.

"That makes one of us. Though...if I could live with my sister, I might stay." She snickered a bit, cocking her head to the side. A familiar scent floated about on the light breeze that ruffled the flowers. It seemed to come from every direction, confusing her senses. "I can't get a lock on her scent. Meh...having the senses of a feline sucks sometimes..." Aeris glanced back at him, a slightly annoyed look on her face.

"...Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore."
Ghost scratched his scalp, sitting upright in the fresh miniature crater. He felt like every one of his molecules had been mixed up, rearranged, then put back together again—which, knowing Dustin's inventions, could have very well happened. Ghost certainly had no idea how it worked.
The important thing was, it did work. Ghost made it a point to see that every bit of him had made it through the teleporter unscathed. So far that search was successful.
On the other hand, where was Dustin?
Ghost had to remember, though—his wayward comrade had disappeared several days earlier. He probably wasn't around here anymore.
But hey, it was worth a shot. Ghost got to his feet, making his way through the dark forest on unsteady legs. He could not help but feel on guard. The smells here were like nothing he had ever experienced before.
"Dustin?" Ghost called into the night, "Dustin, are you here?..."

Vincents tail twitched when he felt another presence, or two enter the elven lands with a less than stealthy. In fact it was hap hazard at best and Vincent didnt know what to make of it so he dismissed it for now.
"Doesnt being a cat mean you can track her?" Vincent said as he looked to Aeris. "Alright lets see. We could just pick a direction and go with it." Vincent said gently.
"I cant pick up on her either, usually im drawn to darker forces and repelled by lighter ones, but theres too much elven magic floating around. I cant pin point her." Vincent said with a sigh. "Id say she's in that direction but i could be wrong entirely." Vincent said as he pointed slightly to the side of them.

Ghost continued onward, spooking slightly as an owl hooted from overhead. By now he had gone completely stealth, even so much as to head downwind so that his scent wouldn't carry. However, this did not deter him from calling for his friend.
"Dustin..." Ghost repeated, almost in a whisper, "Dustin?..."
No answer.
Ghost sighed and stopped, shoving his paws into his pockets. "Well, I guess he's not here," he inhaled deeply, "So much for—"
The katt froze, snapping into a defensive stance. Without realizing it, he'd wandered right into a clearing with many individuals; his sharp eyes noticed their elegant, pointed figures, ones that he'd never really encountered before. If he hadn't scented the air then he would've been so oblivious as to walk right into them. They had a funny smell to them that made his nose itch terribly.
Instincts took over at this point, telling Ghost to keep stock still. His wide blue eyes glinted, pupils dilated to an extreme in the night light. His black fur blended in perfectly with his surroundings.
But there was no doubt he had already been seen.

((Cheeta-katt: if your referring to Vincent and Aeris and possibly Razen in your post about whom Ghost spotted. Vincent and Aeris are in a cave, heading to a elven oracle. While Razen and elfen guards are wandering the forest outside.))

((Well just the guards then. xDD
Buuuuut...))
It took several long minutes of staring at the mass of creatures before Ghost got a hold of himself. When neither side shifted, he flipped around and bolted, headed further up the mountainside. He wasn't worried about leaving a trail now, taking the most elaborate path through the foliage.
Eventually Ghost came upon a small cave. Still frantic, he ducked in just enough to hide himself behind the rocks at the entrance. Ghost pressed himself against the wall and waited, breathing heavily to calm himself.
But in the stale air, a new scent appeared...
((How about that? x3 ))

Razen was just more than a little bit alarmed when he sensed the new presense and the very fact that it disappeared into the cavern. The elf moved even closer to the cavern entrance now, trying to determine just what the person was up to, without venturing close enough to enter it. That wouldn't be permitted.

It took a minute or two before Ghost could even slightly relax; his senses were going haywire, still on alert from his scare. His instinctive flight response still wanted him running, especially since he knew he wasn't safe. There were definitely others in this cave—scents carried easily through the stale air—but there was that overpowering smell of something...
Whatever it was it made Ghost feel really uncomfortable. He could feel his nose itch, inevitably leading to a sneeze within the near future. At current, however, Ghost heard something outside.
He took a deep, gasping draw of air to still his breathing once and for all. His bat-like ears swerved to the side, trying to pick out further noise.
The other must've been cautious, because it wasn't entering the cave. What if it was waiting for Ghost instead? Perhaps he could sneak out and investigate?
He'd only gone a few inches before that sneeze refused to be held in anymore. Ghost feared the worst.
"...chew!" the tiny cat sneeze echoed in the cavern. For something so small it was surprisingly resonant.

Aeris shook her head, the amount of scents floating around her causing her to be dizzy. "Too many scents. I'm just going to follow you. We should have the night to search." She smiled and grabbed his hand, her heart now racing from the excitement of it all.

Vincent heard the echo of a sneeze, but whomever it was seemed to far away to be a threat. Plus the presence didnt feel like a elven guard did, so Vincent didnt worry to much. He did keep his guard up, after all he could sense Razen again, close near the cavern but he didnt seem to want to come inside.
When Aeris grabbed his hand Vincent focused on the now and smiled to her. "Alright sounds good." He whispered to her, before choosing his path and heading down it. The further they went into the cavern the more beautiful it became. The aura of a powerful being hung all around them but as they traveled it began to intensify, something Vincent took as a sign to follow that path.
They got spun around once or twice, and Vincent thought they were utterly lost at least once. But after another hour or few, since the Demon had lost track of time- not being able to see the moon and all- they had found their destination or so Vince thought. The path they were on suddenly opened up into a large cavern beautiful as could be.
"Wow...." Vincent siad as he looked around in awe. "Tell me where in the right place?"
