Kai grinned, nodding. "Hang on!" she called, knowing what Ri was going to do. Not five seconds after Kai's warning Ri went up and looped around, having fun. Loops, corkscrews, and just flighing very fast as she made her way to the village. If anyone fell she caught them again when she went past, though she never slowed in her aerobatics. Five minutes later she landed smoothly and Kai slid down to land lightly on her feet, not even pretending to be annoyed at her dragon. She'd enjoyed it.

The sun was just beginning to rise when Amaya woke Gwen up, shaking her lightly. "You can keep sleeping on the road, but it's time for us to move on." She said quietly, Tuin's head looking at the ranger from over Amaya's shoulder.

Again, if Dais was surprised, he didn't show it.
In his mind, however, he was indeed surprised that Leena practiced necromancy. It was a form of magic, and he was in Mereth. However, he had really seen it practiced more affluently in Gannel.
Aldon, for sure, did not expected Ri to spin around so quickly and made a low "squeee" noise and popped out of Kai's arms. Ri caught him conveniently ... on Dais's head.
On second thought, it had occurred to Dais that the presence of his weapons hidden under his robes would throw suspicion on himself...not that he could do anything if they found it. Running away from shadows. Should be harder for the shadows to track traveling through the air.
Following Kai's example, Dais quickly jumped off the dragon.. almost too quickly. The spy would rather have flow himself.

Leena did hold on a bit tighter, the sleeves flapping rapidly in the wind as the dragon decided that it was time to do tricks before coming down to land. It took her a moment to adjust, sliding off while glancing around, glad to see that for the moment, everything seemed to be fine in terms of Tarha. She let Vadasz come out, stroking his feathers before she sighed. Humming a few notes, her eyes seemed to flash, a spirit suddenly forming up in front of her.
"Kuulustella kohta ja erottaa we tokko paikalla on jokin kotona kohta. Ja tokko se on uhkaileminen minun ihmiset , hävittää heidät. Tokko sinun apu on tarvittaessa , I-KIRJAIN ehtoa herättää te." She told it in a deadpan voice, watching him nod and then disappear from view.
"Alright, shall we lie low in town?" She asked them softly, seeming to have a distant look in her eyes. Though, that was due to her trying to listen to other spirits talking to her all at once about what had happened at the palace. She gave some quick responses to them, blinking before her eyes focused on Kai and then Dais.

Kai was paying no attention to Leena, instead watching Ri shrink down to the form she had taken earlier: a pale red cat-sized dragon, with wings and four legs this time. She crouched down and scooped her up, holding the dragon in her arms much like she would a cat. She looked up when she heard Leeana speaking english, tilting her head. "Perhaps. Though our entrance wasn't terrible stealthy. Ri's a bit noticeable when she's that big." she said, shrugging. It didn't make a difference to her where they went.
Gwen woke as soon as Amaya touched her, blinking herself awake. "Alright. Give me two minutes and I'll be ready." she said, fully awake. She quickly repacked what few things she'd left out, replacing them in the packs Tyri would carry. She saddled the horse then cleaned up the campsite, making it look as though no one had stayed there the night before. She didn't want to be followed, or to leave an obvious trail at any rate.
((Raven, can you start including translations pretty please? Just as ooc or right with the text?))

(( Right, I forget about those. She's just ordering the spirit around. Thats all. ))
Leena sighed, she did have a point. Oh well, at least they were relatively safe for now. "True. Well, at least I can check in on how they have been doing. There are more reports on raiders attacking." She murmured, brushing her hair out of her eyes as she took a step towards the village, not sure what Dais may wish to do. Now that he was a part of their group, his input did matter after a sorts. She was still trying to think of how to make it up to him for removing him from the life that he had.

The elven princess nodded and walked back over to her dragon companion, waiting patiently for Gwen to finish up her last few things. Once everything looked clean, she smiled. "Ready then?" The princess asked with a yawn. "Tuin scouted early this morning. He says there's a village close by. Stopping in would be a good idea." She told her. "If we leave now, we may get there by lunch."

Gwen nodded. "Lets go then." she said, sorely tempted to just ride Tyri. It would make life so much easier, but Amaya was horse-less and she didn't want to make Tuin do a thing if he didn't want to. Not that he would, but that was beside the point.
Kai nodded before reguarding Dais curiously. "You're only a librarian's assistant?" Kai asked, sounding mildly surprised.

Tuin nudged Amaya lightly, making her smile a little and look over to Gwen. "You can ride Tyri. Sorry, it just doesn't cross my mind because I've got Tuin instead of a horse." She laughed. "I don't mind walking, but I don't want you to get tired from walking."

Gwen smiled, shaking her head. "I'll let her rest for now. I'll be fine, anyway. I can still go as far as I need to on foot. And she can use the rest of not having to carry me too." she said, shrugging.

"If you're sure." Amaya said with a shrug, continuing on. "She said she didn't want to! No! We don't need to bug her about it! Will you just shut up?!" She whispered harshly to Tuin. The two were having another little fight. But it was sort of normal between themselves.

Dais mentally scoffed at Leena's question on lying low in town. With the dragon's numerous circles, there was no way that no one noticed them. If the dragon had simply gone down or looped once, there was more of a chance that less people saw them.. but alas, that was not the case.
He remained silent when Leena looked at him, waiting for a response. Who was he to say anything? Technically, they would know more than he did about what the situation was, and they were the ones that had dragged him on the dragon. And from the looks of it, they wouldn't be returning to the capital any time soon.
Dais gave a short sigh at Kai's question. He was the elderly librarian's only assistant, but... "Not anymore." Since they wouldn't be returning soon, he'd probably be fired. Now, he was just a former assistant who was physically fit and very skilled in swordsplay. However, it worked for him. The shadows had hit "too close to home," and he wasn't prepared to reveal himself as a person from Gannel. Not only was it unwise, but it could turn into a sticky situation. "But I don't suppose that would help you in whatever you're doing." He chuckled slightly.

"Tuin, if it will make you feel better I can find a litter of some sort and you can carry me, as my feet are unable to touch the ground for an extended period of time." Gwen suggested with a smile, the teasing and sarcasm apparent in her tone.
Kai watched him for another moment, almost catlike in how she could watch him without blinking, seeing far more than most would. "But whatever else you are might." she said with a shrug, deciding it wasn't important at the moment. She turned and started towards the village, speaking softly. "Hmm, I wonder if we should be waiting for them. Or should they find us. But they get awfully touchy when you decorate their town without permission..." she was either talking to herself, the dragon, or Leena or Dais, though which one was unclear.

Leena felt more pressured at this point, realizing that those shadows probably weren't from some simple rebels. No, they was probably from Gannel if anything. Ugh, come on, pull it together! Furrowing her brows, she paused, suddenly drawing her sword and knocking away an arrow that came towards her, hearing cries coming from up ahead. And then there was the smoke. "Oh hell no they aren't." She muttered, suddenly breaking off into a run, two spirits suddenly forming up next to her, another one remaining behind with Kai and Dais. True, they would most likely follow, but she was more focused on the fact of the attack. "Hyökkäys heidät!" She commanded the two undead creatures next to her, knocking away two more arrows with her sword before drawing a second, thoroughly not happy.
She brought her sword down unmercifully upon the poor archer that had been firing at her, his bow doing nothing in his defense. She ducked to the side as a swordsman came up on her side on a horse, parrying his blow while striking upwards to at least cut his chest. The man did let out a yelp and fell off of his horse. She could see some men running away at the sight of the three spirits that were now chasing them, or simply reappearing in front of them. "Erota ainoa eloisa , I-KIRJAIN haluta jotta kuulustella heidät." She shouted, refocusing upon the man who was struggling to get up. She pointed her sword to his neck, promptly bringing the hilt down on his head while uttering a small spell that would alleviate the wound she had given him, then another that would bind him. Now she was refocusing upon the fire in town, biting her lower lip as she tried to focus on the water in the air, condensing it so that it became a stream of water that poured onto the houses.
(( Translation: 1. Attack them
2. Leave one alive, I want to interrogate them. ))

Kai watched as Ri flew off to perch on the head of the unconscious man, striking a pose as though she'd vanquished a great foe. Kai laughed before going to Leena, grasping her hand and chaneling her own magic through Leena, strengthening the spell and magic so that the fires would be put out. At the same time she watched the flames, encouraging them to die down. "There we go. They're gone, and everything should look normal." she said, not having to watch as the village put itself back together. It took a bit of effort, but she wouldn't need it for a while. The only thing she couldn't fix was returning life to the bodies, but she wouldn't want to do that anyway. There was a reason to everything, and she wouldn't interfere with the decisions mad by Death or the Fates.
