Out of the bushes stormed six dark elves, three on each side. Considering they were wielding spears and did not look particularly friendly, it didn't seem like they were here to welcome them. With them in particular was a seventh elf, a male which had a family resemblance to Nala. Of the entire bunch, he appeared the most unpleasant of them all. "My apologies, I was told that there were humans in our village, but I did not realize they were with you, Ursula." He said to her. He had little trust in human kind. In fact, he hated them. More so because of recent events. "It's no problem at all." Said Ursula with a smile. She the turned to the others, lowering her hands in front of her to get the others to stand down. "False alarm kids, this is Jetty everyone. He's Nala's brother."

Allison did not have much time to say anything when she heard Ursula's comment of approaching danger. So she took action and stepped back away from the pool of mud in an attempt to hide behind Ursula, Vivyne, or Saya. She was defenseless at the moment in her bathing suit.

Sheathing her scimitar, Vivyne looked at the party of armed dark elves, each still holding their spears, but now more relaxed. Of course their party, mostly human except she, no wonder they had had a problem with their group. "Nala's brother? Well that's good to hear, Its a pleasure to meet you Jetty," she said to everyone, giving the dark elves a eloquent bow, customary between elves of both races.

Saya relaxed, but only after being told to do so by Ursula. She sighed inwardly, glad that it had been a false alarm. She wouldn't willingly challenge a dark elf after her battle with Nala, no sir. Hearing that the seventh dark elf was Nala's brother, she nearly blurted a giant, "HIM?!" However, and very fortunately, Vivyne spoke first and thus reminded her to be polite.
She sorta expected someone more...what was the word? When she met Nala, she had never felt an intense air such as now, she guessed she expected that from her whole family. He couldn't be all the bad, she told herself, it had just been the situation. She wouldn't exactly go skipping about and throwing handfuls of flower petals and rainbows if she thought someone was trespassing on her land. Still, she couldn't shake the feeling that she was disliked, she'd be the last to guess it was because of her being human.

(Oh!? Has this game started moving again!? My bad. sweatdrop )
Jack grabbed at his necklace when the elves suddenly appeared. He had sort of been taking in the sights as they traveled and was a little bored honestly. Maybe now he would get some action. Then a seventh dark elf appeared and his mother seemed to know him well.
He was a bit dissapointed as the group was told to stand down. From the looks of it this elf guy didn't like them here. He probably had a hatred for humans, like most elves usually did.
"It's nice to meet ya Jetty!" Jake said with a grin holding his hand out to shake Jetty's. Becoming his silly and friendly self again he wondered if the elf would even care to shake his hand or if his mother would allow it.

(((Chapter 4 is anyway.))))
He knelt on one knee and bowed his head to the light elf. Truth be told, relations between the two kinds of elves were not as strained as they appeared. It was mostly a feud between cultural differences.
"It's a pleasure to meet you as well. Do not bow for me in your condition, I should be the one giving you such courtesy." Jetty did indeed give Jack a handshake. He knew who he was as an infant, as Ursula would sometimes bring him to play with Nala. He could do without his effervescence. The only people he had not giving his mean looks to were Ursula, Vivyne and surprisingly Allison.
"Mother is expecting you, Ursula." He then eyed Saya, raising an eyebrow to her. If she felt an intense air then, it would only grow intenser for now. He had a hunch that she had to do with his sister's disappearance. "And I'll assume you are Saya? Your father has been waiting for you as well."

Saya wanted to laugh at Jack being as silly as he always was, as if things didn't feel weird. Or had it just been her all along? The whole situation with Nala still loomed over her like a dark cloud, so it could be easy for her to imagine these sorts or things, or be the sole target of hostility because of it. Then again, she wasnt the only one who had been given a less than happy look. Her thoughts were muddled.
Having Jetty's eyes land on her, she stiffened. She couldn't help herself, she felt like a solider under the gaze of her drill Sargent. She nodded shortly when he guessed who she was, expecting the worse in the back on her mind. Could one actually choke on intensity in the air? These thoughts were launched from the orbit of her thoughts when the dark elf mentioned her father. A smile crossed her lips as anticipation shone in her eyes, "Great. Can't wait to see him."

While she was unsure of the situation, Vivyne donned her armour again, preferring it to be atleast protected if anything happened. Saya's father is here, as this is the brother of that dark elf that attacked and captured that Ardy fellow. I'm not really sure what I make of him. she thought to herself, allowing it to convey down to Craig as well.
Mommy, I think we can trust him. he told her.

"Hey, Ursula," Allison whispered in her ear, "Why is that elf bowing before Saya and now staring at all of us, especially me of all people?"
"Yeah, that is weird..." Oria stated from within Allison's womb.
"Without us in your belly you'd just be a regular girl." Chime told her mother with a giggle. "Maybe he can sense us or something, we're really, really noticeable physically and mentally, er, or however magic is used to detect things."
Allison ignored her children and stepped over next to Vivyne for protection. She had seen her pull out a scimitar and unlike the others actually donned the armor that Allison had made her. So she intended to use this, if necessary.

Ursula looked at Jetty and back at Allison. "I'd say he likes you. Don't mind his anger towards us, he just wants his sister safe and sound like any older brother would. The Pandora have a point, you'd be a regular girl without them" Answered the retired Maiden in a whisper.
Ursula began to think of what to do about all of this. "I hope this hasn't ruined anyones plans. I'm alright with Saya and I going by ourselves. Jack, your choice to come along or stay behind."
Jetty crossed his arms. "Mother said I'm not permitted to follow. I can keep watch to those that may stay behind."
"Thank you, Jetty..." Said Ursula with a sigh of relief, that would make things easier for Saya. Speaking of, Ursula wrapped an arm around Saya's shoulder and whispered to her. "Whatever happens, don't let Jetty get you down. He's always been crass and outspoken."

Jack was a bit surprised when Jetty shook his hand, but he smiled kindly at him anyway. Then it sort of hit him, Jack remembered playing with Nala. Maybe it was being in this forest again but there were times when they were little children how much she would play 'hide-and-seek' with him.
Huh? Maybe Jack was tied into this situation more than he realized. After the shake he stood by and watched his mother. Nala was a person he had pushed out of his mind as he grew up, mainly because around a certain age Ursula placed him in school so the visits to this place became fewer and fewer. If memory served he remembered having a small crush on the elf when he was a child, but then again child crushes weren't as serious as adult crushes.
When his mother spoke he looked at her. "I wouldn't mind tagging along, after all you used to bring me here as a child. I wouldn't mind seeing your friend again mother. That is if you don't mind." Jack stated walking up and standing next to her with somewhat pleading eyes. Oddly he felt connected with the whole matter now, surely she could see it in his eyes.

Allison listened to Ursula's words, but suddenly got lost in thought for a long while as she stood near Vivyne and pondered what Ursula had meant. Did Jetty really like her? She could not see that coming from the dark elf as he spoke with Saya and shook Jack's hand. She only smiled from behind her new friend before quickly sneaking off and changing back into her regular sweat clothes. It would not be good to be around people like Jetty who were not regular traveling companions.
"I get the sense he likes you..." Oria stated as she noticed her mother's sense of urgency of running about in the strange village forest to where she had left her clothes before coming back. It was a confusing mess and Oria could not understand why her mother was panicking. She bounced up and down inside Allison's belly and voiced, "Show us off to the dark elf. He'll find us cute." Allison grabbed her jiggling belly and shook her head no.

Imira nodded and looked to Lancelot. "Care to come with me?" She asked, resting her hands on top of her belly. She was planing on looking around to see what was around the area. She had never gone camping before and had a few thing planed out for what she wanted to do but she didn't want to go alone.

-------------------
[ CHAPTER 3 ]
-------------------
Current Quest: Search around Paradigm Town and find Melina before she finds you
Lancelot nodded his head. "Sure, I'll come along." He answered Imira. It would give him something to do, and they really shouldn't go off on their own. Not that he would want to, he was kinda lonely now that Kristina was raising Almy elsewhere. Lancelot couldnt' do a thing without Imira's or Kelanthra's assistance.
Speaking of, it seemed like Kelanthra was preferring to stay behind with Newarva. So it was just the two of them. Well, four of them counting her twin Pandora. "I can't believe you're still willing to walk around, Imira. Considering you're the one carrying the most weight of us all."
-------------------
[ CHAPTER 4 ]
-------------------
Current Quest: Find Mel'Nala & Saya's father at the Dark Elven Tribal Council
Ursula smiled, she was happy her son came along as well. Maybe even more so if what she saw in Jetty and Allison was to be true. Let the two mingle for awhile while they got this sorted out.
Most importantly, she was relieved Jetty would not be accompanying them. Mel'Nala was a smart one there. He would probably try to kill Saya for letting his sister be corrupted like this.
Maybe ther were other pairings to be made? Surely her son was a hard one to read. He had gotten so well connected to everyone through their concerns and own stories. Women were quickly being snatched up these days.
Taking Jack and Saya with her, she began to start her journey to the council. That would be the place to find Mel'Nala. She was the tribe's appointed leader after all.
"It's been a long time since I've last seen your dad, Saya. I wonder how he's looking these days. I wouldn't be surprised if Mel'Nala's been treating him very well..." Said Ursula thoughtfully. She admit, she would be jealous, but totally understood.
---------------
Meanwhile, Jetty called off the men to go back to their daily duties. If anything, he could always call for them with a flute he had on hand. He was now alone with a human and a light elven. The human though, sometimes it was hard to make eye contact. The elven, it was hard to keep eye contact.
This wasn't to well thought out, was it?
"I, didn't quite get your names. I sense three Pandora, yet there are two of you here?"

Imira smiled and made her way through some short grass. "It's not that hard really, I had always been a walking kinda person so when these two came along they didn't really stop me." Imira said. She giggled some and pat her belly. "though I waddle more than walk by now."
They eventually found their way to a stream and after looking up and down Imira pointed up stream. "Lets go check out the water fall." She said, waddling along the edge of the stream.
