Welcome to Gaia! ::

Issildia glanced at Kishoku briefly with a look of shared irritance towards the stranger, the returned her eyes to Sin.
"To be frank...I don't think a 'massive fight' of any sort would be required to evade you." she uttered dryly.

"I have fought and escaped Reinsen before, your aid was not necessary, and as my friend here stated; it could have been something arranged between you and the enemy." Issildia intoned with a flat expression.

"But such things do not matter...be on your way and we shall go along on ours. We need to return to the forge and warn the others of what has transpired." said Issildia, the last part of her statement directed at Kishoku.

"Are you threatening us?" Issildia demanded in a low tone. "Would you be so willing to spite us that you would give up such information to that b*****d!?" she said as her hand came to rest on the hilt of her scimitar, just incase he tried anything foolish.

"You have nothing." Kishoku said dully in a low tone. "If you are captured, with that small piece of information, I doubt your life will be traded back to you, for it reveals nothing of great importance and seems quite useless. If you are a spy, as I suspect you are, you are merely bluffing to have us take you and you will later Inform Reinsen of the location of the forge."
He returned his gaze to Issilda briefly, " Either way, it would be in our best intrest to leave him. Our destination is not the only hidden residence on these lands, and he has no exact location of it either, so I can only assume that we'll most likely have no trouble."

Sin stood up and quickly walked over to Issildia, he reached fowards and grabbed her arm gently.

"oh comeon, is it really that bad to take me along? I mean what about this guy? I'm sure you two didn't start off friends... Besides I could even help you. All I want to do is find out about how the world works outside my home, you two see to be at least somewhat worldly..."

He squeezed he arm gently.

"please?"

Sin similed and backed away with his rune coverd hands raised. He shrugged and took his gloves out of his back pocket and put them back on. Looking back at both of them he kept smileing.

"well let me ask you this... is there anyway you can actully stop me from following you?"

Marley and Khastur turned to Archer, Khastur going to his side as Marley turned back to his workdesk.

"I dragged him in a while ago, it was getting dark and he was still conked out-- didn't move or breath much, I thought he'd be dead soon..."

Khastur looked back "Well, he's alive-- I'm not sure if he's well but he's fully cognescant at this point." Khastur looked down to Archer, helping him onto his feet he moved him to a cushioned rocking chair to sit down in and brought a heated rag for Archer to put to his neck. "We've been here a few days Archer, if you don't remember we're here to get new weapons from Marley that can kill Nevar-- last night Issildia and I went to Meradea to drop off Sylph, but in the night the city was attacked by Nevar's forces. We've brought Sylph back with us-- the Valtera and Issildia are off drawing attention away from this place so Reinsen doesn't find out about our plan." Khastur drew up a chair "The weapons will be ready tomorrow morning, I hope Issildia gets back soon...We don't have any way to contact her right now.." He looked up to Archer "So there's your briefing..You've been out for awhile now...Are you hungry?"

Issildia's eyes narrowed at the stranger's question but this expression was soon replaced with a sly expression. "We can evade you well enough traveler, now be on your way...it would be in your best interests to do so."

She then discreetly placed her hand on Kishoku's shoulder, "Lema ed' templa" she whispered under her breath. As soon as the phrase escaped her lips Issildia felt as her energy faded and as her knees gave way beneath her from the strain of the spell, but she fought to keep her hand on Kishoku's shoulder as both their forms were then outlined in a pale white light, the light then sank in on itself consuming the both of them before flickering out, leaving the stranger alone in the dark of the forest.

Issildia and Kishoku reappeared at the eastern edge of the forest within sight of Marley's home. As soon as the materialization process was complete Issildia fell to her knees in exhaustion.
"Remind me, never to do that again." she said halfheartedly as her form shuddered from the loss of the energy required to invoke the teleportation spell.

It was a matter of minutes before she found the strength to stand again, though her normally olive toned skin was now pale in comparison to its normal color, and the previously half healed cuts and bruises that she had gained from evading the larovians in the forest, had decided to return, since the energy needed for her accelerated healing attributes had been taken by the spell.
Even so she slowly started off towards the forge which was now in view. "At least we managed to turn the larovians away from this place." she muttered to herself, knowing good and well that the mission had been greatly compromised by that stranger.
