Welcome to Gaia! ::

Atrum bit the inside of his cheek, embarrassed for freaking out so badly. "S-sorry." Putting his weapon back, the dirty blonde swiped a loose strand of hair behind his ear. "Though throwing rocks isn't a good way to make yourself known." The blonde smiled, now knowing the other male was trying to calm him down by making conversation. "I could have shot you." In reality Atrum knew he wouldn't have shot unless he was attacked first, but the kid thought he might as well play along.

Rayne didn't say anything to the boy that was spying on them. She remained quiet. She was more worried if he had heard what the group had been talking about. She had the urge to run. She didn't know if he was a hunter. Rayne had been moving from town to town every few months just so that the hunters wouldn't find her. She made sure of that. She made a new hut in the forest somewhere next to every town she'd stayed in. Rayne started to play with her dark hair. Her gray eyes going from one person to the next. She soon realized that she was getting thirsty. 'I should go hunt soon' Rayne thought.

"Hey, anybody that's an enemy of our enemy is our friend," James welcomed Erik with a nod, James still wasn't smiling, but he was never a smiley cheery kind of guy. "You an elemental or some freak?" he asked curious of why Erik was being hunted.

Erik stood there, until a question from one of the others brought him to his senses."Sorry, my mind was elsewhere. My name is Erik. I'm not an elemental or some kind of freak, but the hunters had been pursuing me. For the last week or so, they had been leaving me alone, but I didn't expect that peace to last. In fact, when I heard the scream, I hoped it was the hunters so I could take them out in one shot." he turned to the one who asked him if he was an elemental. "Do you mind if I ask what an elemental is? The hunters mentioned that a few times." Erik couldn't believe these people were making his job so easy. They already trusted him due to the fact that the hunters hated him, and if he was lucky, then he wouldn't have to reveal how much of their conversation he heard.

James saw the worry in Atrum's eyes, apparently he had reason to believe she was trouble. James looked her up and down, she seemed innocent, but of course looks can be deiciving. He nodded to Atrum and kept a hawkeye on her for the next few minutes, if she did anything funny she'd age 20 years right before their eyes, that was a promise.

Valencia blinked when Erik put a hand on his sword. "Unsheilthing your weapon on a girl you've never met? What an uptight group." It was obvious she wasn't trusted. Things got way too tense way to fast for them not to know who she was. Looks like I'm much popular to put on an act for you all," The half demon frowned, a slight pout on her features. "It's too bad, I think I'm pretty good."
Now switching into fight mode, the huntress knew this was a risk, but decided on it anyways. "If you want the details, I'm Valencia, I'm a hunter, and you have now given me a reason to think you are the elementals." Valencia unsheilthed her sword, it was made of reinforced steel, not very strong on its own, but when tweaked a bit with magic, it was the finest metal to use. Darkess formed with it very well.
The huntress grinned. "Come out babies! Prove you're worth and you get your pay." Four men landed around her, they had been put on watch of Atrum earlier.
"Maam, we wern't payed to fi-"
"Silence! Fight or I'll kill you myself." Valencia sighed. Her help was so wimpy. "I'll start with you first."
Valencia mentally took aim at Erik. With a jump, she sent a streak of darkness toward his heart, and lunged for his side.

Zack didn't feel like having a big brawl, so he quickly paused her in mid-time leaving her helplessly stranded in the air as he touched each of the elementals and brought them to his speed, "Okay, if we're gonna fight we need a plan, if not let's get out of here," he said confidently. The drain from having this many people in his timestream was immense, but he knew it would be okay for at least awhile, he'd done greater than this before. One day in highschool, he'd been bored so he froze every teacher and allowed students free reign... it wasn't a pretty sight when time resumed, it was a fun day though. Zack stared at each of their faces hope to find an answer to his question, to run or fight, was their decision.
