*Flew towards her in and landed carrying Orestis once she entered her inn she casted a spell an ice barrier around the entire inn the only way in would be through Iferia or destroy the barrier. She rested Orestis on a bed and moved seigi to a bed that was on the other side of the room. She gently runs her fingers along seigis body as the ice would heal any if he received any wounds. She would move back to Orestis removing the bloody robe from her body and her now soft eyes looked at her masters hurt body*

`"I'm sorry master."`

*She didn't know if she could heal her master she was still being healed by the qi pill but it only did so much it hurt her to see her master this hurt, this weak.*
Anthony
*Eventually after following them back to the inner colonist republic inn, he was stopped by the ice barrier placed by Iferia outside. Along with seeing the ice barrier on fire basically. Well... This couldn't get any more problematic couldn't it? But he awaited patiently waving towards Marionette, smiling gently. Inside, he hoped that the condition of Orestis was normal or somewhat stable... Though he would like to go inside and check it himself*

```"Excuse... Misses, I am here"```
Stephen
*As the flames coated the barrier it began to melt rather quickly just behind it were 10 guards with crossbows that were automatic and can fire them in rapid secession, there bows glowed of red aura as there eyes also had a red glow behind them, there arrows had different language inscribed on the side of the wood of each arrow all there's crossbows we're aimed at the opening that was created behind them was there captain.*
Clarence
*Yelled in a completely different tongue at the man that was undoing the barrier*

`"Back away or be fired upon, intrusion by any being will be met with deadly force."`

*He nocked an arrow on his bow as it was infused with holy magic*
Anthony
*Cheong Myeong's immediate response to seeing the crossbows being pointed was the raising of both hands into the air. He did not want to fight, he did not want to get put into more trouble. A man like him did not wish to go through more hell just to live... The fight with the dragon was already enough for him... If they were to fire... Oh how chaotic it would become...*

```"I wish not to fight, I only seek to speak with dragon girl inside and the woman accompanied with her"```
Arlette
*Heard the commotion and casted a barrier on the room of Orestis and seigi she walked out to see the swordsman she placed her hand on Yenio's shoulder*

`"Excuse me for there haste they don't speak the tongue of this world neither do I. But translation spells work wonders. You may enter swordsman. You however may not until master says otherwise. Once you pass this barrier your magic, Qi will be nullified fair warning to you two attack you surely will perish like a dog."|
Anthony
*Cheong Myeong nodded as he took the warning into his heart. He bowed once more before walking inside the barrier. To at which was looked all around the area, examining it as this place was unfamiliar to him*

```"Thank you Miss for allowing me to enter"```
Arlette
*Waves her hand as the ice barrier reformed she made sure she was outside the range of the nullification crystals then walked back inside. Once cheong was inside the range he would feel that his Qi would be chained up like he would be unable to channel it to use it but it was still within him. She lead him inside the inn which had pearly white marble floors the pillars made of golden lining the roof of the inn was covered in a back mist which has stars and galaxies on the roof like they would stare into space, the bar has a variety of drinks far as the eye can see the foods smell would make anyone's mouth water. She lead him to the finest red leather seats and marble like tables waving for him to sit with her as she took a seat*
Anthony
*The man was in awe to see such a beautiful setting, one being that of some sort of galaxy. Though the feeling of being unable to channel his qi made him feel off, in a sense of something that's always been there isn't there anymore? This simply didn't make him comfortable. However, he powered on with it as this wasn't for something dangerous, this meeting was just a simple meeting.*

```"Why thank you"```

*He said as he sat down in the seat, placing both hands on his lap as he awaited for further instruction and direction*
Arlette
*Smiles softly she was much shorter then the man being only 5'3 close to 5'4 but not enough her tail sways close to the ground before she sighs softly and speaks once more*

`"What do you want with my master?"`
Anthony
```"I wish for your master to join me and Warrior Saber, become adventurers. You may come as well, the more the merrier. I also promise to take care of the young miss as well. She will be safe. I then also ask for a sword, a good sword.```

*He asked this as he bowed his head once more, he was in no position to be acting all high and mighty despite having beat Orestis previously. Especially since his qi is locked in this current moment. He wanted to show his sincerity in this matter, to show his humility when in need of help from another.*
Danny
*Followed that strange women and mainly Cheong over here. Spotting the girl with candles and black fire from earlier. Along with the that large ice dome that was covering something he couldn't really see inside it do to the thickness. Before walking up to the strange lady? He hadn't had the pleasure of meeting yet.*
"Ah, do wish to speak to the dragon as well. Along with the other imposing individual?"
*Not much appearance wise has changed on saber other than the small dragon around his neck and shoulders.*
Arlette
`"This is quite the coincidence see my master wants people to join her on her endeavor's like I have, on the path to enlightenment. This world is cruel and she wishes to change that... Her goals are beyond small time adventures, we came from a world where master had made an entire nation toppings royals nobles and kings to allow peace to thrive. Sadly her ambitions we're halted when we fell into centuries of darkness like a void, if there was a hell... That would be it... I have lost my sense of morality and what people say humanity and sanity... She wants to embark on her quest to free those who are looked down upon with help if you would like to join us."`

*She spoke a counter offer*

`"If you do there is much we can gain from one another my master isn't even at the fraction of her true power that I know naught why... May be something of this world that has to do with it..."`

*Her eyes had lost all life as they locked with his when she mentioned centuries of darkeness then they slowly came back to a normal and happy expression.*
Anthony
```"I am but a Taoist Swordsman who seeks the path of enlightenment and strength to revive the Mount Hua Sect. If young Miss to grant such power and use my sword to do good. I will become her sword, I ask that me and young miss swear and other to siblinghood. That is my cost, I wish not to be of such plans to eradicate beings for the sake of ease nor committing evil acts."```

*He said this firmly, although joining someone else's party and not necessarily recruiting members to join the Mount Hua sect wasn't the plan. However, he felt some kind of need to look after her and to take care of her like a younger a sibling. He knew that with the right guidance and care, she would become a great leader. Though he was hesitant with as he wasn't sure what kind of business that they would do once joining hands with her*
Arlette
*Shakes her head slowly as she sighs softly feeling that he missed some of her points, but then again she was still learning this world's language so it would be a hurdle she would have to tackle*

`"We have no plans for hurting anyone in the sake of making the world a better place that thought process is flawed. My master won't swear into sibling hood but we do something different. Bound by a blood pact, it is the same as being family. On a side note committing grave acts of violence to stop acts of violence is just as bad as what my master wants to stop. I believe in trying are best and not to attack unless attacked first, her out burst occurred because the previous city she changed in immediately resorted to violence but this is human nature."`
Anthony
*The man sighed as yet again things he imagined to have gone weren't exactly going as planned. But if they were to do a blood pact, then it is a sure thing they cannot go against as such. Therefore, he had to give in it would've seemed*

```"Then I agree to such, though in Martial Tradition, swearing upon siblinghood shows that one another respect each other to the utmost. That is to show my loyalty to the Young Miss, that I would ask for her to decide upon. If she chooses not to, then I shall have to settle with just the blood pact"```

*He shrugged as there's not much he could really try to offer*
Arlette
*Could see his fustration she placed her finger on her lip confused then apologized*

`"I am very sorry if I have offended you. When she wakes up you may ask her I am not an extension of her will so what I say may differ from what my master may say."`

*She says truthfully as she sees his shrug it makes her frown feeling that she is failing at being a hospitable host.*
Anthony
*He chuckled lightly, not to mock or to find that they were disrespectful not trying to be disrespectful in return. He found it wonderful to see such manners and politeness. Was he offended? As a person no, as a warrior yes, but this wasn't something to blow a fuse over. Just a minor misunderstanding that is all, something forgivable.*

```"Miss, hold your head up high, there is no harm done, no ill intent thus far. I will simply await for the Young Miss' response, what matters most for this is whether she is willing to follow the same that I've done as respective warriors"```
Danny
*Saber would shift a little the wounds from the previous battle making themselves known to him now.*
"Ah I see, may I implore what that question is, oh and may I implore you about your magic?"
Arlette
*Slowly lightens up with a soft smile before getting up and walking over to the bar*

`"I see I apologise again, our customs are different we are from an old kingdom named ebbfell that is very honorable and respectable. Would you like a drink? Then you can go see Orestis... I don't know how to take care of someone's wounds... So please help my master I will forever be indebted to you."`

*As she says this she slowly goes down on one knee bowing her head to him as if he was her master but this was her way of showing respect and need for help*
Anthony
*He smiled brightly as he didn't wish for this to become so intense and serious. He would rather be in a setting where it would be light hearted and casual, like friends just conversing, as even if Orestis had become a dragon and were forced to fight, there wasn't any ill will nor hate carried with him.*

```"Just Jasmine Tea is fine, and I also came to check on Young Miss' condition, how is she currently?"```

*As Iferia seemed to not be so confident with Orestis' current condition, he only hoped that she wasn't in grave danger*
Danny
*Would just stare at her candles dumbfounded, he didn't really understand how magic really worked or how you can apply it to things so this was very foriegn to him. Reaching out with one of his large metallic hands to try and grab it.*
"Thats so werid and interesting, how do you do it, if you're fine with enlightening me?"

*Would stare off into the nothingness for a solid twenty seconds before coming back to reality. As his left hand reached behind his head scratching the back of his head, being careful to avoid a now well rested Bahamut.*
"Uh im not sure really, I know I have it and ive utilized it before but I cant really tell what it is. Its mainly instinctual thats why im trying to learn all forms myself so I can get a better grasp on really who I am."
Arlette
*Smiles softly as she placed her fist across her chest where her heart was and a fist behind her back as she stayed on one knee*

`"Her condition is bad her cuts and bruises have yet to heal but the internal injuries have healed. She is in that room over there please go check on her while I get you, your tea."`

*She slowly stood back up and went to get his tea as her hair bounced as she walked with a soft smile to get his tea*
Danny
*Arms fell limply to his side his face falling as well, as he huffed. He would take notice of her staring though, before straightening up and stating.*
"Im sure I'll figure out who I am in no time, it cant be that hard right? Oh and I would suggest not antagonizing these people any further."
*Saber would suddenly become strict and serious.*
"Unless you want to suffer their wrath, I fouvt were even out of the woods from what we did to their friend."
Anthony
```"I see, I'll see what I can do..."```

*He sighed deeply as he stood up and went into the room to check on her condition. He wondered how she looked after all the fighting from earlier. His outer robe was also still with her as well, though it wasn't important, he had seemed to have forgotten that he wrapped her within it.*

```"Young Miss, are you awake?"```
Danny
"Well yes that is true, but we canr possibly know the whole situation which is why I stated that. We at least minimized the damage thats whats important, or atleast as best we could. Ah and terribly sorry if I upset you, it was not my intention."

*Sa abers thoughts though were more focused on who he was, as the statement that he could possibly never figure out who he was greatly upset him, even if he couldn't show it.*
Matthew
*She had clutched the robe tightly in her sleep if he moved the robe off her bare body it was would disgusting with black and blue bruises dried bloods and cuts her wings were torn to shreds along with her tail and back badly charred and burned her eyes were closed tightly her breathing shakey as she was mumbling scared in her sleep*

`"Stop... Please stop... Stop hurting me... I'm not a monster..."`
Anthony
*He walked in, both hands behind his back hoping that her condition was much better than implied to be. Cheong Myeong saw her still in his robe, holding onto it tightly. He felt saddened by this, although he was the one who inflict most of her injuries, he felt guilty about such. Though had he not, perhaps him and this entire city would be rendered to ash... When he finally got to her, he leaned close to her ear*

```"Young Miss, I apologize for disturbing you, but please awake I am here to treat your injuries"```

*He whispered into her ear, hoping that he wouldn't need to try to shake her awake*
Matthew
*As he leaned close to her ear she didn't wake as she was having a deep rooted nightmare as she clutches the robe tighter as she was shaking violently as her fists knuckles clenches white as she seemed terrified in her sleep*
Anthony
*He raised a brow as he watched her shake violently, what could she be dreaming of currently? What is causing her to be in such distress? He whisered trying once more*

```"Young Miss, your are safe... It is ok... Wake up... Let me help you, I am not your enemy"```
Sherry
*He was laid in the corner... Though, he didn't seem asleep. His eyes were open, his arms spread out beside him and his legs straightened out. The strangest thing- his eyes were opened. Those luminescent, burning yellow eyes stared blankly up at the ceiling. The held a different energy, as though someone who wasn't Seigi was looking through them. His body tensed, some unknown force trying to move his body, trying to force its way to the surface...*

*But, whether conscious or unconscious, something was fighting it. Seigi's iron will was forcing the demon back into the pits of his soul, re-chaining it, re-caging it.*

*They all could feel it, though, the oppressive, overwhelming force of demonic energy pouring out and covering them like a tsunami, a deep-seated dread washing over them, though they couldn't tell from where.*

*__Thats only a portion of how much mana this beast controls...__*
Shantel
Please take questions to to
Arlette
*Came back with the tea as she smiles weakly seeing her master sleeping she speaks softly*

`"Is everything alright with master?"`
Matthew
*Slowly went quiet once more as he whispered to her she scoots over and hides under the robe subconsciously trying to hide from whatever it was she was scared of*
Anthony
*The events happening outside flooded in with its demonic aura, his hand shake uncontrollably. He didn't understand what was happening, using his free hand he gripped the other tightly trying to keep his hand steady... What could that have possibly been... What kind of force could do this? This wasn't ordinary... Nor was it a sign of a demonic cultivator... What being was this... For a moment he was shaken, until Iferia took his attentiuon away from such thoughts*

```"O-oh, well... The Young Miss is asleep, I haven't seen her wounds though... But based off of how bloody my robe is, she was surely bleeding a lot... Thankfully I gave her some medicine pills and also stopped the bleeding. I might need you to wake her up, in order for me to really do what I need to do. I ask as I would not want for the last time to happen once more"```
Arlette
*She feels the demonic aura she sinks into it feeling at home like it was a warm blanket on a cold night, ironic since her magic was ice, she would see the swordsman shaking and tilted her head softly, then walked over to a counter set down the cup of tea on the counter and removed the robe from Orestis body, she had no shame at all about doing this. She also had no inclination of privacy for a lady as she was never taught that, as to why she just removed the robe or at least tried to. Orestis had clutched the robe like her life depended on it so Iferia removed it from her entire body rolled it up into a ball around Orestis hands, then all her wounds began to show*
Anthony
*Cheong Myeong looked away as the robe was taken away from her. He waited for a moment for her to at least cover herself partially before looking. What he saw was all the sword wounds and other damage she had along her body. He shook his head as he walked over to her looking closely*

```"Miss, please wake her up, I don't want to touch her and inject qi, then suddenly awakening her"```
Danny
*Saber knew she was partly right yes. But he knew more than anything looks can be deceiving. Esspecially since we technically attacked first.*
"I of course acknowledged that what happened was wrong, but we still dont have the full story so until we do we cant be pointing fingers. We also dont know if she was even consciously doing tha- oh your leaving, well goodbye and safe travels.*
Clarence
*The guard looked at saber he was the captain of his team of ten men they looked at him. He took a deep breath then spoke as he walked up to the ice barrier looking at saber speaking I'm a foreign tongue however it was translated into regular tongue*

`"Excuse me what do you have business here for?"`

*It was broken and distorted as they were just barely in the range of the crystals like radio static*
Arlette
*Nods slowly as she gently places her hand on Orestis cheek she saw cheong turn his head away she titled her head confused*

`"Why are you looking away?"`

*She gently very gently shook Orestis awake as she woke she began to choke Iferia screaming in terror and in agony as all the pain washed over like thousands upon thousands of needles piercing every part of her skin and flesh it felt like she was broken from her injuries.

Iferia gripped her wrist gasping for air but unable to break Orestis grip*
Anthony
```"Miss... Typically one shouldn't willy nilly be able to see other naked. If are you to remove her clothing, let me know... Bu-"```

*Seeing as Iferia had woken up Orestis that was great, however the strangulation of Iferia raised major concern as he rushed over to Orestis. He grabbed both arms and looked at her directly in the eyes*

```"Young Misss, let her go, please... You are safe and out of harm... There will be no harm done to you... Please..."```
Matthew
*She felt her wrists grabbed she was still very weak so her arms folded in his grip as she whimpers at the grip the man had she takes deep breaths calming down slowly as she couldn't do anything her blood red eyes looked upon the man then Iferia who was now coughing and taking breaths to breathe.*

`"I thought you... We're trying to hurt me..?"`

*She said softly as she winces hoping he would let go of her arms now that she was back to her senses*
Anthony
*Cheong Myeong sighed in relief as he let her go scratching his head. He looked over to Iferia and patted her back as hoped that would help her*

```"Miss are you alright? And Young Miss, do not worry, just relax. I will try to heal your wounds in a moment"```
Arlette
*She rubs her own throat as the pats did help her she smiles softly*

`"I'm ok just worried about my master it's better then her turning into a dragon again..."`

*She says with relief in her voice*
Matthew
*She leans back down slowly onto the bed deciding not to move as moving caused to much pain to her body*

`"Why are you helping me...? Weren't you trying to kill me?"` 

*She asked softly with a pained voice the cold air of the room brushing against her bruised, battered skin*
Danny
*Saber would turn his head to look down upon the man. Simply staring at him for a moment before coming back to his senses.*
"Ah terribly sorry but im not only waiting on a friend or a person I would consider a friend, and well the dragon girl we just fought I would like to at least see if she is okay."
Anthony
```"Why am I helping? Because I have to right my wrongs, harming you is one of them. I also came to talk to you about some stuff like me joining you in your good endeavors. As well as asking you to swear to siblinghood, as I am going to act as your sword. I just ask you show me the same sincerity to me"```

*Cheong Myeong said casually, but he carried a bright and warm smile. He was already committed to joining Orestis' party, he simply wanted to follow an age old tradition of his heritage*
Matthew
`"I... I can't think I'm in to much pain everything hurts where are my clothes..?"`

*She was seemingly still a little out of it as she had just woken up after a long fight that she lost she was also shaken to her core as her memories were fuzzy and vague*

`"I don't know what's going on."`

*She says in a soft voice her innocent eyes looking at him*
Clarence
*Sees him staring at him quietly before speaking once more*

`"You attacked master, why would you care if master is ok?"`

*He replied in return the man was confused why did people that hurt his master want to see his master to him at least he was very confused*
Anthony
```"Yea... We need to cover you up..."```

*There the man grabbed the robe and covered Orestis with it once more for the time being. Though he wondered what she could remember. Cheong Myeong understood that primal instincts will take over and even the most humane can turn into as such and go wild. But what could she have felt during that?*

```"What's goin on is that you are going to be healed alright? I just need you to relax and allow for it to do whatever it needs to, do not resist. I promise you, with my life, you will be safe"```
