((WAAGH!!! What...?! What...?! WHAT...?! You're both leaving at the same time?! Bah! Well, Z, we're stuck now. I can at least do this...))
Regond decided that it was time to descend, and he did. As the wind brushed through his feathers, the owl pondered about how three Spirit Guardians could possibly be together in the same location; it was truly amazing, but also very troubling. If the Shadows came, and they could not defend themselves... He shuddered at the thought.
The owl had descended fully now, and with a few more flaps, perched himself on the top of Shef's head.

Since Shef was lying on the ground, face up, this was a very unpleasant and uncomfortable position.
"Nghh-frrkal-dghfbleu."
Which actually meant,
"Owl has ow sharp ow claws."
This was very foolish to say, because everyone knows that owls have talons, and that snakes are not poisonous--they're venomous.
As for the question as to receiving help standing up, Shef replied,
"Bbnbgl. Prvty."
Which meant,
"Ow. Yes, please."

(( rofl ))
Regond looked down and laughed.
"You're mumbling, boy!" he chuckled, "You shouldn't mumble in front of two lovely young women! It's bad form, and-"
He noticed that he was standing on the boy's mouth.
"...Oh, dear." he said, "I'm terribly sorry..."
He then lifted himself off of Shef's mouth and landed on the ground instead.

Shef wiped blood off of his face. Just a few scratches... miraculously, his eyes, nose, lips, and other frail parts weren't punctured. Just scratched.
"This is crazy," Shef said after a moment. He had now received the time necessary to take everything in. "Talking wolf, talking owl, talking snake." Shef shuddered. "I have the heebie-jeebies."
Shef then slowly shifted to his knees, then stood--taking time to make sure he was perfectly balanced, or as close to it as a klutz could come. Which meant not falling for three or four minutes.
Shef's eyes focused on Regond. "You. You said someone took my Dad. Who? Who is he?"
But inside of his mind, Shef was going over the ways to get away from all these talking animals. As far as he was concerned, the stories his Dad would tell him about Regond and other Spirit Guardians were overrated.
Come to think of it, Shef had never seen Regond before today. Now, why would that be....

"I think I love you even more now than I did when you were alive." ((Sorry. sad I had rehearsals.)) Falian looked from Shef to Reign and back again. "Reign..." she breathed, looking at the great wolf. "Did you scare this guy?" The wolf blinked and then looked over to Shef before snorting and turning her nose up into the air. "Hmph. He's just a chicken.""And a klutz, apparently," Falian replied dryly, looking over at Shef, studying him for a moment before walking forward and pulling something out of her tiny backpack. "I'm sorry," she stated simply before walking up to Shef and pointing to herself. "Falian. Nice to meet you." She lifted what she had taken out. "Anti-septic wipes. You're bleeding." And that's all the explanation she gave before she moved to clean the cuts on his face. We are a people that are obsessed with Death.
Killing each other without regret.

((Oh, thanks a LOT fatal... *rolls eyes* Are you really that OCD? Although I really can't say anything since I went back to edit...)) Holly watched with curiosity plain on her face while Narissa traveled to coil on her head. She briefly lifted her head off her hands at the mention of a missing father.
Without a word, she got back up and went to her bag, pulling out a sketch book and a pencil. She set to work on drawing the owl, which actually started to turn out pretty well, considering he kept moving. It was how she concentrated, really. She put her hands to work while her mind took in what was going on.
I've never seen any other Guardians except for my own, and now there are three. Wonder what that means... Holly wasn't overly worried about it, but it was troubling. Something must've happened, she thought, tracing and retracing the feathers in his wing.

Shef opened his mouth to say something, twice, but nothing came to mind as he was gently dabbed (or was it 'brutally cleaned?') with antiseptic wipes. They stung, of course... but strangely, Shef wasn't minding. His thoughts were calmer... he needed to find his father. Dad. And the fact that a wolf bigger than he was standing so close and not attempting to eat his intestines... well, that made everything all the better.
Shef didn't realize that his face tended to show, by expression, the manner of his exact thoughts. The relief and hysteric fear that he had felt would be plainly apparent for all to see.
"Th-thank you."

Calentine himself was not far away... the dual-sword wielding, white-haired, bloodthirsty killer. Was being driven by taxi toward an old farm-ranch, where he had been told there would be people of importance.

((Would that farm ranch just happen to be Shef's relatives' house? lol)) Holly raised her eyebrows in amusement at his expression.
"You should include that in one of your paintings some time," Narissa hissed delightedly. "At the very least, it would draw some attention."
Holly barely managed to suppress a grin, unconsciouly putting the pressure on her pencil instead. The graphite snapped rather loudly, and she put her tools on the grass beside her, forgotten for the moment.
"What's this about your dad?" she questioned, gazing skyward. Clear blue skies, not a cloud in sight. Yet, anyway. The weather was always subject to change. At least for now, her equipment wasn't going to get rained on.

"I think I love you even more now than I did when you were alive." Reign snorted and shook her head at Shef's facial expression. "You surely have your work cut out for you," she told Regond simply as Falian nodded proudly at her work and balled up the wipes, putting them in a plastic baggy before putting them back in her tiny black backpack. "It's no problem," she replied as she did before looking back at him. "So what's your name, Sir Klutz?" Reign sniggered from where she stood merely a foot behind Falian to the girl's left side, grinning wolfishly. "Proper name for a proper boy with two left feet," she commented good-naturedly as she chuckled. We are a people that are obsessed with Death.

Regond cleared his throat to speak, and then turned to Shef.
"Your father was captured," he said, "by a man in dark who calls himself Malis. His guardian gives him the power to drain the Sacred Gaia from his enemy and absorb it into himself, becoming stronger..."
He looked at his marked wing.
"When he captured us, he drained your father as punishment for fighting back... he then began to drain me. Your father gathered all of his strength to summon his swords and cut Malis away from me... he then told me to make my escape. I tried to save him, but I was too weak from the draining..."
He looked away again. A tear fell from his sharp owl eyes and dripped onto the floor.
"Your father is still there, his soul bound to that of the Lumah, Malis's Spirit Guardian. I would take you to the Ether myself, but I am too weak..."
At that second, the all-too-familiar rifts cracked open in space and time, and out shot the Shadows of Lumah. After they swiftly shaped themselves into a physical form, they searched among the three teenagers and then lunged at Shef, their long, sharp fingers like lances.

"I think I love you even more now than I did when you were alive." ((Oh. Totally missed that last part.)) Letting out an exclamation of surprise, Falian grabbed Shef and yanked him away, sending him stumbling backwards. Reign was instantly there, standing in front of Shef. Protecting him. "Stay behind me!" She ordered, fangs bare. We are a people that are obsessed with Death.

Shef tilted his head to the side. Now his expression would show how incredibly irked he was at the presumptuous, contempt wolf. He felt like saying, "I can hear you, you know."
But the wolf knew.
"Thanks," Shef said numbly to Falian. "It's Shef."
Said boy turned back to Regond. "How come I've never seen you before in my life? You were never with Dad. Oh-"
and at this, Shef turned to Holly.
"-my father is... well, missing," Shef replied. "I know he's in Ether... and then here comes golden owl dude. Says he's been kidnapped. I don't know what to believe."

The Shadows hissed at the wolf and quickly surrounded her, trembling with anticipation for yet another satisfying kill. They attacked, all at once.
Regond picked up in flight, retreating from a pursuing Shadow. The Shadow slashed away at Regond, missing him barely... until the owl spun around and vanquished the demon with a blast of light from his open mouth.
"These beasts are persistent!" he scowled, dodging another swipe.
