Welcome to Gaia! ::

The figure didn't slow down. There was no flinching at the knives whizing nearby him. His had a death grip on the hilt of his sword. "It depends. Are you friend or foe?" Emphasising the last word with deadly intent. The wind blew softly, adding whispers to the creak and groan of his full plated armor, which should have slowed him down.
In the moments of following silence, a musical hum rose from behind him, with the echo of the pitter-patter of feet. The girl was skipping along far behind without a care in the world.

"Our buisness is our own. As for trespassing. . ." He turned his head to the pale girl slowly catching up to the two. She was maybe ten, if not younger "We have as much reason to be here as you do." Gripping his sword, the soldier watched every which way, expecting an ambush from all sides, whether it was there or not. He payed little attention to the wolves, instead he seemed to measure their combined force and shrugged it off as manageable. A wariness that few could match. Even the wolves would be hard pressed to be that dangerous.

The girl skipped up behind the armored man, oblivious to the palpable tension in the air. "Hi!" She waved to rayne and the wolves from behind the soldier.

(slight edit.)

The man didn't lower his guard in the slightest at the freindship Rayne showed. He hovered protectively near the girl. "We've been traveling non-stop, looking for the castle." He told rayne gruffly.

The girl, on the other hand, seemed to see no danger. "Oh, Wolfy wanted to come here, and it was boring being in bed all day." She replied happily, spinning around in place. She fell down, and coughed a little, her complexion pailing to dead white for a moment, before the coughing stopped.

The man glanced warily in the direction she pointed. "Serenity. It's time to go." He commanded.

The girl ignored the soldier. She got up and walked up to Rayne. "Wolfy's just cranky. He hasn't showered for-ever!" She whispered to Rayne, smiling the whole time.

Serenity put a finger to her lips, thinking. After a few seconds, she smiled again, showing a row of white teeth. "I'm Lady Serenity." She rolled her eyes at the lady part, glancing back at her bodyguard who was silently nodding his head to the proper title. All he really did was dip it, a little, but for him, it was nodding like a madman. "Wolfy not only reeks, but makes me wash when I get my dress even a little dirty." She added in, scowling at the armored man, though he appeared not to notice. Her dress was spotless, despite the harsh travel through the woods.

(gotta go. See you later.)

This forest.. having kept himself away, for the most part, from the castle lest he do something even he does not wish to do. This figure is within that forest. From the thick fog that ray of blue light is visible, shining from the single eye. Blue smoke momentarily escapes the other. This dark form is no more than sixty feet away, the fingers upon his left hand twitching, from the smallest to the thumb those fingers moved one at a time. One at a time their knuckles popped over and over again, and this being would remain silent for now, just watching, and very visible. People were always in this forest, or that is what it felt like to him, that emotionless demeanor visible otherwise. Too many people.. this land had potential to be merciless now.. it is no longer the land it once was.

Serenity beamed at Rayne's freindliness, and turned to her bodyguard too, looking expectant. The man stood their and crossed his arms, until their stares got to him.
Reluctantly, he sighed. "My name is Caliver Wolf, but you will address me as Wolf or Sir Wolf as formality dictates." He spoke roughly, but the accent was highly civilized, unlike his usual rough talking. It didn't last long though. He motioned for Rayne to lead the way. "The castle is our destination." He said gruffly.
Serenity smile widened ever further. They were going to have a ton of fun this time.
