((Alright, well I'd say 5 votes in favor of its good enough))
The leaves rustled through the tree's as the wind blew onto a new day. Though the world was bathed forever in twilight, that still didn't change that fact that the sun would rise. As the dawn began Ramiel awakened, his eyes opened slowly, closing again immediately. Ramiel was certainly not a morning person, thus, for those that thought him irritable before...
This day promised to be an eventful one, they were almost at the forest, and it was almost sure that the group would get a flying start....or perhaps a splashing one as Ramiel fell out of the tree he'd chosen to sleep in and went face first into the lake.
As the ripples of the lake began to calm, still did Ramiel not surface. It seemed as though his faint was sealed...who would of guessed he couldn't swim? However, appearances can be deceiving, for minutes later the fin of a truly monstrous fish began to slowly raise above the waterline, moving faster and faster, until...it was revealed to be Ramiel, carrying the behemoth fish to shore.
Reaching the others he tossed the fish near the fire "Cook it, eat it raw, whatever you choose to do, just eat quickly, we've got a long walk ahead of us once we get to the forest." With that Ramiel was gone dragging another fish into the bushes with him.

Jason had been unable to sleep that night, continually thinking that something was going to attack, much like the dragon that had been slain when he was young. His eyes quickly went towards Ramiel whom fell but he didn't move to help him since he wanted to know a little more about the man. As his eyes observed Ramiel under the water, he chuckled softly to himself. He stood up and walked else where there was a brush he had spotted berries.
Taking a handful and eating it, Jason took the rest back towards the group in a large armful. He didn't really require any more than that and a small portion of meat so he felt ready to go after pulling a bit of fish with an arrow and eating it.
Jason would then put the arrow onto the string of the bow again and wait for the rest to be finished as he leaned against a tree, feeling satiated with the adequate meal he eaten.

When Sari awoke she was laying on a bed of Spanish moss and it was pitch black. At first she was confused, but then she remembered she had put a dome of dark matter over herself before she went to bed. “Dimitto.” She commanded. The shroud disappeared and she was left under a tree. By this time Ramiel had already brought the fish ashore. She held out one hand and then spoke. “Umbra novacula.” A black knife the appeared in her hand and she then went over to the large fish and cut off a good sized chunk. After she peeled off the scale she popped the raw fish into her mouth. She continued to eat in this manner until she was satisfied. “Abeo.” The knife disappeared and she was left empty handed. She went and sat at the edge of the lake, looking out over the water.

Gia had eaten the fish provided but wondered about Ramiel. She found it weird how he didn't come up then walked out to her, but she couldn't place it. Gia herself would come up to the lake as she looked at the lake and figured it best she got used to having her wings truly present. Gia could only hope the moon was high enough in the sky to help with the calling as she concentrated upon her back. She would pull her cape back while clasping both her hands together as if praying, but it would eventually come about that her wings would begin to sprout from her wings like lights lashing out from the wings. The symbol on her forehead had begun to glow brightly till finally it had stopped allowing the silvery wings to take form and nestle upon her back leaving the feathers to glistle in the light.
"Guess it's time to practice...", Her voice was calm as she looked out over the water. Gia looked back over the group, but she hoped no one would be alarmed by her wish to pratice her magic here to keep herself trained and in shape. "Burst!", Gia spoke the name of the spell she wished to have active as she would fly straight towards the active spell itself weaving her body in and out between the small bursts that wouldn't be enough to alert any enemies to where the group was at. She was using this bursts of fire to help give her an edge in defense and a better shot at dodging things. The spell would hold a clear mark as being her own, as the symbol on her forehead would appear to be glowing bright red while the spell remained active.

Zen stayed asleep until the smell of fish reached his noes. He quickly got up. "Ugh! What's that smell!" he said before seeing the fish that Ramiel had brought. "Oh." he said as he walked up to it. Then he used his sword to cut off some fish, which he took and started to eat farther away from the group. He liked to eat it raw.

Sintariun turned over in her sleep, nuzzled against the crook of a tree branch. Opening her amethyst eyes, the elf sighed at the unrestful sleep, nightmares plagued her once more. Dreams of her forest going up in flames and beasts running wild killing all in their path, her friends, her family, everyone.
Sitting up, she stretched and glanced down as she smelled and saw smoke. Panic gripped her throat but then she smelled another odor and found it to be fish. Shaking her head, the elf didn't want to eat the fish, others needed it more then her. Glancing around, she spotted a bush and recognized the berries on it. Smiling, the elf hopped down and began to strip the fruit off the branches delicately.
Whispering something in elven to the plant life, Sintariun took another handful and placed it in a cloth in her bag for later in case she needed some energy for the trip. Glancing around the elf looked to the sky and then at the lake wondering if it'd be a good idea to take a quick bath.

Alwyn ate very little of the fish and some berries. She wasnt a morning person. She perfered the night, the moon and the endless sky of stars. The night before had been spent in what she called waking dreams. She was asleep but awake to the world around her. Her body had moved as though she were awake. She had even awoke that morning in a place other then where she had fallen asleep to begin with.
She had had the same dreams over and over but she could not remember anything about them the memory of them faded as the day grew larger. She wasnt one for big breakfasts. She too packed away a bit of berries and such for the journey. She was just waiting for them to get started again. And she hoped that the little moments of vision hadnt made people think she was strange or something. That and she felt that the reason she was not being talked to was because she hwas a theif and therefore she wasnt trusted. Alwyn shruged, yawned and looked toward the lake.

After she had been sitting there for a few minutes she decided to prepare for the journey. She got her rucksack that she had left by where she had slept. She went a little ways away from the lake and began to gather leaves and roots that she knew were edible. After awhile she returned to the lake and washed all the dirt off the roots before putting them in her rucksack.

Tori stretched her arms above her head and let out a yawn. Adjusting her eyes to the faint light, she looked around at the others in the group. They all seemed to be quietly doing their own thing. The halfling let out a small sigh and got to her feet. She walked over to the fish and got her reasonable amount.
After eating the small bit of fish, she walked over to where she had laid her pack and axe. Tori grabbed the axe and plopped down onto the grassy floor. She reached into her bag and pulled out a small piece of white cloth. Still feeling a little tired, she began to polish the blade of the axe. It was a pretty simple looking weapon but was big in size. Tori always liked to keep it shining though. As she rubbed the cloth against the blade, her mind began to drift into memories of her home. She hadn't had contact with any of her family in years, which always got her worried.

Screams. Fire. Blood. Images flashed through her mind in quick succession. Everything was in chaos, panic struck the hearts of the villagers as they ran for their lives. Silence.
Liah woke with a muffled yell, not audible to anyone but Damon who was acting as her overgrown pillow. Sighing, she realized that it was just a dream. One she wished would stop. Stretching briefly, the smell of cooking fish reached her nose which caused her to sit up and look past Damon's large form.
'The irritated one caught a fish.' Damon said with a bit of amusement in his voice. 'He used a very interesting method.' He didn't say anything more.
Liah sighed once again and looked at the large fish which seemed to be more than halfway gone. "That looks pretty fresh." she said, but she planned on cooking some for herself so that she would have more reserves for later. 'Damon, make sure you eat. I'm not sure how much food you're going to get while we're traveling.' Damon nodded his large head and sped off into the forest so that he could fill himself. Asteria was already ahead of the game. She saw her friend diving straight toward the water and coming back up with a rather large fish in her talons. Flying swiftly over with the wriggling fish, she dropped it lightly on the ground with three others about the same size. "Good work." she said aloud, "Are those for me?"
Asteria nodded. 'I have already eaten.'
She smiled and headed over to the fish with her leather knapsack full of her supplies. She reached her hand in and pulled out a medium sized filleting knife. With quick movements, she killed the still flopping fish and prepared it for the fire. Doing the same to the other two, she brought the slices to the fire and cooked them using an old fashioned method her brother had taught her. Standing back to admire her work, she noticed Sinatariun looking up at the sky by the edge of the lake. She waved to her and hurried over after she had quickly wrapped the freshly cooked meat in leaves and stored them in a special leather bag with the rest of her food supplies. One of her canteens was also running low, so she brought that along as well.
"You look like you're thinking about something." She said rather cheerily, allowing Asteria to translate.

The bushes Ramiel had retreated too rustled slightly as everyone ate. The sound of crunching bones was just audible over the morning fire. Moments later Ramiel emerged, looking know different then when he'd left, accept perhaps a little drier.
Looking over the group he brought his fingers to his mouth, seconds later a sharp whistle emitted, meant to get everyones attention as well as wake anyone still sleeping "Finish getting ready, those of you who haven't eaten or aren't done can eat on the way. Our time is short, the creatures tend to get a little....feisty as the day passes, so the sooner we get there the faster we can get out" Ramiel said gruffly before walking over to an old oak to wait for the others.
A small growl came from the middle of his throat as he starred off into the distance After all these years, I'm finally going back...

Sintariun glanced at the female and offered a soft smile to Liah. Jaat iui, E hoz dwemcemj opayd wah ramj E herr pi jami flan nu falizd omt ef nu foneru herr zimt zaniami ofdil ni pikoyzi E himd ojoemzd dwiel hezwiz. Dwod omt ef dwez ez dwi rozd deni hi'rr zii kriom hodil, E hoz dwemcemj af docemj o xyekc hozw.
(Good eye, I was thinking about how long I will be gone from my forest and if my family will send someone after me because I went against their wishes. That and if this is the last time we'll see clean water.)

Liah nodded with an understanding look. "I have a feeling a search party won't find you where we're going..." she said morbidly, kneeling down to the water and filling the canteen. She stood up once more and sighed. "A bath sounds like a good idea, but with all these people around... Plus, that guys...Ramiel? Seem to want to leave soon..." She trailed off and glanced over at the solitary figure at the edge of the forest.
