Matthew
*She followed his words and said them exactly, as he said them with a smile before shoving her mouth filled with food munching down hungrily, she was eating fast almost like a vacuum half way inhaling her food. She made sure she wasn't eating when she repeated the oath however.*

`"Can you help me drink lift the cup..?"`

*She asked softly with her soft eyes looking at it as she placed her hand underneath it struggling to lift it*
Anthony
*Cheong Myeong nodded, pushing his hands towards the cup, then from the thinner part of the cup, he gripped it and lifted up slowly for Orestis*

```"Careful Young Miss, don't gulp the entire thing"```
Matthew
*As he lifted it she drank it slowly closing her eyes as she drank it. But she did the exact opposite of what he said she finished the cup in a few gulps and it was a big cup... It was 🍺 mug where the wine was poured into and she had drank it all or at least attempted to.*
Anthony
*The man saw how she drank the entire cup and shook his head as he knew she was doing this on purpose. He shook his head as he slowly lowered the cup from her hand then took out a smile bile and popped the top off, then shot the small medicine ball directly into her mouth, then into her throat. This pill was to allow for her to sober up and to help her deal with the potential hangover in the morning. He simply couldn't have his new sister to be black out drunk already could he?*

```"Young Miss, you can't willy nilly drink the whole thing like that especially when there's so much"```

*He said this practically scalding her as if he was scalding his younger sister, the firm tone and words. His body language looking as if he was putting down the foot*
Matthew
*She looked at the small vile tilted her head then began coughing as she wasn't ready for it, she held her throat softly as she coughed when it went down her eyes looked at him as she squints them at him*

`"What was that! I wasn't going to be drunk! That was only a little bit!!!"`

*She protests as he put his foot down chastising her she pouts In defeat as she decided to eat the food and listen*
Anthony
*Cheong Myeong had his arms crossed, though he then smiled and reached his hand over patting her head*

```"Let's not accidentally go turn crazy eh? Especially after what's happened recently. Also, would you mind accompanying me to go to get the scales. I fear Miss won't let me back in... Heh... Heh..."```

*He said that as he chuckled nervously, unsure whether Iferia would allow him back in after leaving the place. Why is that? As of right now, he didn't want him to be here anymore. But would that change later when he came back? It's not necessarily worth the risk*
Matthew
*As he pats her head she chuffs puffing her cheeks out upset, like a child*

`"I had no control over that. I'll go with you but I don't want to see what I caused it will make me sad."`

*She said truthfully as she looked up at him*
Anthony
*He chuckled as he nodded, understanding her words*

```"I understand, that's alright. How about we go, then you stay far away enough on a rooftop, facing the other way? Would that be ok?"```

*He asked suggesting this for a way for her to come along*
Matthew
`"Alright let's go then!"`

*She says excitedly as she stands up and grabs his hand pulling him out of the seat the best she could as she was heading towards the ice dome around the inn it opened up and made a pathway for them she stopped once they were out*

`"Onward and yanward!"`
Anthony
*He laughed loudly as this was truly amusing, while also being quite fun. Cheong Myeong smiled brightly allowing himself to be dragged as he quickly began moving with her*

```"Yes indeed, let's go little sis!"```
Sherry
*He remained sitting cross-legged in front of the bed, his arms resting on his knees and his eyes closed. He was in deep thought, still contemplating that presence he felt.*
Joan
*Walks towards Seigi and gently places his hand on his shoulder not taking it well that he was blatantly ignored*

`"Hey sir...? Are you ok? Maybe you have gone deaf?"`
Danny
*Saber would wake up all groggy and still tired, he must have dosed of while laying on the floor. Sitting up he would grab the side of one of the near by tables to help him stand up. Where was he again, scanning around the room did he come to the conclusion that he was still in the inn. God was he tired which was werid since he almost never got tired so why now? This had him stumped, and where did Bahamut go?*
Arlette
*Looked at the massive steel man and looked up to him with a smile*

`"Hello there! How did you get in here? Did my guards let you in??"`

*She asked in a happy expression and tone as her tail thumbs against the ground excitedly wanting to know more about the man.*
Danny
*Sa abers head would slowly turn, similar in speed to a sloth. And it quite slowly dawned on him that the lady with the tail that he only fleetingly met was talking to him.*

"Aaaa, yes I believe so... Excuse my sleepiness, this building seems to be messing with my brain."
*Stumbling slightly after he finshed speaking being forced to use the table next to him to stable himself, said table creaking under his weight.*
Elisha
*Sees her return with two empty plates he smiles*

`"Wecome bac!"`

*He tried to express his happiness as he was learning as they interactions together increased. He pointed to the kitchen and tilted his head trying to ask where did the food go.*
Anthony
*Cheong Myeong eventually arrived with Orestis and the scales in his arms. He let her down gently, making sure she was standing properly before he let her go. The man yawned as this was considered a light jog for him, granted his body has been refined because of qi and the use of qi allowed for him to go greater distances*
Sherry
*Ngl Seigi was just tuning everyone else out because he was so deep into his own consciousness*
Arlette
*She watches and sees himself being really sleepy she tilted her head and slowly walked over with a crystal to him showing it directly to his chest height to see if this could be a cause*

`"Maybe this is what is making you so sleepy?"`
Joan
*Sighed again moving his hand off of seigi he decided to draw a mustache on the mans face*
Karl
**Ephemera took a while to understand what he was ask but then it clicked.**

"I wanted to eat with the moon."

**A lie, she was feeding her siblings but had noticed her magic didn't work in the inn so she stepped outside to the forest to feed them.**
Elisha
*Looks at her fave and tilted his head he seemingly knew she was lying, because he didn't see any mess on her cheeks or lips, but he didn't understand what she meant.*

`"Outside?"`

*His words would seem that of a child trying to learn as he pointed outside the inn*
Karl
**Ephemera held his hand and brought him outside to the steps of the inn and pointed to the moon. She loved the moon and he could tell by the way she gazed at it lovely.**

"Moon."
Danny
*Saber would cease up as Iferia did that similar to a heart attack as he would instinctively try to push her away his arm going limp before it reached he though, instead opting to back up away from her to protect himself.*
"Yes that may just be it."
Matthew
*Both her feet pressed against the inn floor she had seen a young girl with one of her servants she gently took his hand and lead him back outside*

`"Excuse me miss... Who let you in the inn?"`

*She asked holding onto cheongs hand softly she sniffed the air smelling the scent of a dragon her blood red eyes changed to slits as her primal instincts were clawing at her insides trying to be forced out as her wings sprouted from her back but she did her best to fight it and her wings folded back away as her dragon eyes looked upon t he girl*
Sherry
*If you go feral again, i __will__ pull out the demon mana form*
Arlette
Moved the crystal 25 feet away from the man and into the other room he feel like a weight was lifted off his shoulders instantly and his mana return to normal*

`"Does it feel better?"`
Joan
*Is coloring a beard onto seigi while he is meditating*
Elisha
*Turns to look at Orestis and sees her dragon slits as his hand was held onto the girls he noticed her fascination for the moon he smiles softly*

`"Pretty?"`

*Before speaking in his foreign Germanic-Russoo accent and language to Orestis.*

`"Master, master! Is everything alright? Why has your eyes changed? What's wrong?"`

*He asked with a gentle tone*
Anthony
*Cheong Myeong watched Orestis unfold her wings as his eyes widened. He immediately wrapped his arms around her and tried to comfort her as best as possible*

```"Shhhh... Suppress it... It's ok... Big brother is here... Shhh..."```
Karl
**Ephemera nods with a giggled, looking up at him.**

"Yep."

**During her time with Akinsi, she had forgotten about the dragon nearby. When Orestis asked the question she broke free of Akinsi grip and began to back away slowly. Terror filled in her eyes as she held her hands out in front of her.**

"The guards let me in... Please don't hurt me. I didn't know this was your den..."
Elisha
*Felt her break away and he slowly moved back to Ephemera and wrapped his arms around her to comfort her holding her close to his chest*

`"It's ok master won't hurt you promise."`
Matthew
*She felt cheong wrap his arms around her she took a soft breath her eyes slowly returning to normal as a guard moved a crystal closer to them, and the comforting was helping a lot, she frowns softly and her posture turns submissive*

`"Im sorry I couldn't control it... Please your welcome to stay as long as you like forgive me."`

*She leans into cheong hiding her face in his chest embarrassed at her reaction to this situation*
Anthony
*Cheong sighed and patted her head gently as he began walking with her towards the entrance of the ice barrier*

```"You can control it, it'll be ok. Self control ok? Let's go"```
Danny
*Saber would very visibly seem to sober up. As he straightened up a little bit his fist clenching and unclenching to test its grip strength, even his voice noticeably cleared up.*

"I think so, thank youuuuu. Whats your name?"

*Sabers head would turn, as well to watch as a soldier brought another one of those abysmal crystals to their master?*
Karl
"I know. Thank you."

**Ephemera said bluntly with no emotion. While she held Akinsi shirt on each side. Shaking profusely but kept one eye on Oresitis. As they began to walk away she shouted.**

"My siblings! Can they stay too... It's just the three of us."
Matthew
*She was pulled along with cheong she spoke softly*

`"Yes they can, just give me some time with my brother."`

*She took a few breaths as they left the ice barrier*

`"I got it... Can you go to the back of the inn with me? There is a forge there, with tools I need to make the blade... Did you also get the metal bars I asked for?"`
Arlette
*Comes back with a soft smile seeing him getting better by the minute as it made her happy*

`"My name is Iferia the commander of Orestis faction."`

*She said softly as she looked at him*

`"What brings you here?"`
Elisha
*Continues to hold ephemera not understanding what she was saying but he just held her trying to comfort her.*
Anthony
```"Oh oh oh where do I get hte Mythril and the other ore from?"```

*He asked as that completely slipped his mind, once given the instruction, he would rush over there immediatel*
Danny
"Ah so you are a commander, and for as why I am here. Well I simply wish to make sure the dragon girl we had injured is okay. We had inflicted heavy injuries in the spur of the moment so doing nothing to atleast attempt to make sure she is alright would be folly on my part. Ah and the swordmaster had wanted me to go on a quest/journey with him."

*In truth he mainly wanted the company but the prospect of learning new skills greatly excited him in this new world. Esspecially with his lack of sword skills.*
Karl
"Thank you... I'll be right back."

**Ephemera slipped out of his arms again and took a deep breath. Then began to walk to the forest edge, where the ice barrier wasn't active.**
Elisha
*Decided to follow her not letting he slip out of his arms and decided to follow her whilst holding on he wondered what was going on.*

`"Where are we going?"`
Matthew
`"The mithril is inside the inn just in the storage room along with the titanium ore I'll head to the back forge and meet you there."`

*She began to walk to the back and towards the forge.*
Arlette
`"Yes I am! I would also like to offer you to join our group! We actually got the swordman to join us under our banner, we would like to have you join us like he and we can all be in a company together."`
Danny
*He would stare for but a moment, contemplating wether he should or not. Maybe he should ask a few questions first never know what you might get yourself i to.*

"Uh sure, I just got a few questions first to make sure im not joining some cult. First question is this some military group, what is your goal as a group, and will you willingly commit evil acts if its for the betterment of others?"
Anthony
*The man nodded and dashed off inside towards the storage room. After about 30 minutes he found it and grabbed the ores as they shined under the lights. What magnificent ores these are... Truly impeccable... When he finished admiring how pretty the ores were, he rushed towards the forge, where he would meet with Orestis once more*
Arlette
`"Well we aren't a cult and we aren't a military group. We are simply just a group of a people that want to make the world a better place. Committing acts of evil, to prevent evil is also just a s bad so if that is what your asking then the answer is no. We don't do that."`

*She smiles again.*
Matthew
*She was sitting beside the forge she had breathes dragon fire into the forge she had changed out of the dress into more loose attire as she held a hammer infused with runes as she waited for the metal to be brought to her.*

`"Over here over here!"`

*She waves for him to put the bars into the forge cup holder to smelt the metals*
Anthony
*Cheong Myeong nodded as he zoomed into the placed, skidding as he stopped himself with all the momentum carried behind him. He held out both ores and smiled as he had them ready to be used*

"Here lil sis, I have a request. Allow me to assist you in making this. I promise my muscle and potential swordsmanship can be taken advantage of for this"

*He said as he handed both ores to her and cupped his hands together bowing his head slightly*
Danny
*Putting his metal hand on his chin in a mocking way did he make an audbile hmmmmmm. B before reaching out and attempting to pick up Iferia up and lift her up above him.*

"It seems absolutely perfect for me, miss Iferia!"

*Saber would say boisterously. A knocking from his inner chest cavity would startle him though. Stopping him from continuing.*
Matthew
*She twirls the hammer excitedly*

`"Alright... Then you will swing the hammer the runes on it will guide your hand, it can channel Qi or Mana to guide your hand where exactly the hammer needs to hit just trust in the flow of your Qi."`

*She offers the hammer to him as she slowly funnels her dragon fire to her hands as she dropped both ores into the cup and began to breathe and release her dragon fire into the ore's they would slowly begin to smelt, it would take at least 30 minutes to begin to smelt it to liquid she grabbed the cup holder with her hands as her dragon scales protected her but it was still burning her hands as she began to pour the metal into the guide she had made for his blade she took the dragon scales and began to break them with her strength and all her mana but struggled greatly as she would need cheongs help to smelt the scales and make them apart of the blade*
Arlette
*Gasps softly before she was picked up and her tail sways she looks at him her face turning red*

`"Hey...! I am small! Be careful!"`
Anthony
*He chuckled and grabbed the hammer as he inhaled and exhale he felt the hammer in his hands, beginning to infuse qi into the hammer. It flowed a bright pink, grinning widely. He placed it down, then walked to the forge and sat into the lotus position. He put both hands out as his qi began to release from his hands. However it wasn't like his usual pink qi, it was black and white. The sign of Yin and Yang, the balance of heaven and earth. This, unlike the usual qi, is denser and more powerful. Thus the flames in the forge were amplified greatly, further increasing the heat within the forge*
Danny
"I am the pinnacle of safety, errrrrr we wont talk about that one time. But I assure you I am perfectly safe to handle smaller than myself beings."

*Setting Iferia back onto the ground mainly so he could check what was making that racket in his chest cavity. With a pop the two panels on his chest would open up, and a little black dragon head, with one glowing golden eye would pop out. Before turning in batting Saber in the head like a cat being mindful of the claws of course.*

"You dare jostle me around like that, esspecially when its so warm inside your chest!"
Matthew
*With each swing of the hammer a blast a mana blew up and it sent her flying away from the forge her skin steaming she was temporarily blinded from the amount of mana and qi being forged into the sword it would rock the very foundation of the inn causing the ground and earth to shake around them like an earthquake she wants and crawls around the floor getting back to the forge as she began to use her mana to guide her hands to add the dragon scales apart of the handle, and into the blade as well*

`"It's almost done..."`

*She began to speak a spell as ancient runes and words began to get inscribed into the blade as she breathes dragon fire into the forge to keep the flames steady and the blade hot*
Arlette
*As she was set down she took a soft breath and sees the two panels open in his chest t she was very confused*

`"Are you hollow on the inside?"`

*She would look towards the chest panels and try to see past the tiny dragon very intrigued by this*
Anthony
*He nodded as he had hammer in hand and began to swing it heavily... He breathed along with it, following a rhythm as he infused more and more qi into it. Each time the hammer hit the blade, it sparked wildly and flamboyantly. The qi clashed against the metal causing small explosions of qi to erupt from the point of striking the blade. He was in a trance, captured by the rhythm, breathing, and qi method with this hammer*
Danny
"Hmmmm, ah yes I am otherwise I would be a lot heavier than I am now, you can have a closer look if ya like just dont touch any glowy bits otherwise you might well, lets not think of that."

*Saber would reach into his chest cavity to pick up the small dragon and drag her out of the small sleeve that rested agaisnt the inside of his chest on his right opposite of his glowing core. Setting Bahamut back on his shoulder said dragon stretching out like a cat. He would take a knee as she did do allowing for a better look inside if she so wished.*
Matthew
*She extended one of her hands as small magical strings connected with the sword, as she began to infuse every ounce of her mana into the sword she began to pant and break into a sweat, a loud explosion of Qi and Mana came out the blade would let out an eruption like a volcano of power that would knock cheong out of his position and blow up the hammer into pieces burn his hand. She lowered her head and covered herself up into a the fetal position as the flames of the forge burned all around her and cheong then it would slowly subside*
Anthony
*Cheong Myeong tried his best to stand his ground, but in the end was blown away from the massive amount of this fusing itself into the sword. He couldn't have imagined that this would've happened in the process of making this blade. His hand scorched because of the explosion of the hammer. He would quickly coat his hand with qi for the time being as a way to subside the pain for now. But hid behind something from the large wolf spitting flames, as it subsided he walked out and wanted to investigate the result of such*

"Little Sister! Are you unharmed?"

*He asked, checking to see if she sustained an injury from the large outburst*
Matthew
*She slowly lifted her head as her eyes looked around seeing cheong standing over her she took a soft breath*

`"I'm ok... Is the sword complete..? Did I do it...?"`
Karl
**Ephemera lead him by his hand, outside of the ice barrier and because she couldn't understand him she couldn't answer him.**

"Let go please."

**She asked, wiggling her hand.**
Elisha
*Let go of her as she wiggles her hand he knew that she wanted to be free he stopped just outside the ice barrier. With a soft look in his eyes he could not follow any further unless she invited him to go outside the inn to follow her.*

`"I can't follow you, I am bound by the inn unless your request me to follow."`

*He bows his head with a soft expression clasping his hands together*
Anthony
*As the man walked closer to the sword, he noticed as the sword reverberated... Qi pulsing from the sword as if it were alive, carrying some kind of sentience. It would've appeared that they had unknowingly forged a Xuan Sword, a Xuan sword that carries a will. The man was enchanted by the sword's edge and the engravings on the blade. The hand guard and the pummel shining brightly, in its golden exterior. Cheong Myeong immediately knew what to do and cut his own hand, dripping blood onto the sword toe recognize itself as its owner*

```"This... Blade... It is truly... Magnificent..."```

*The man looked at the blade, his face filled with awe gesturing for Orestis to come witness this for herself*
Matthew
*Walked over to see the blade and saw the power that came from it, she was now worried that she may have created a sword that was to powerful... Placed it into the hands for someone that could have beliefs change into the future. She seemed happy at the sword she had created with him*

`"Do you like the sword?"`

*She asked as she began to think and shook her head with a soft smile and stumbled over to her knees exhausted she shouldn't have been using this much strength as she was just now recovering from the fight and had expended all her mana once again*
Karl
**Ephemera titled her head confused and walk off into the forest. Just out of view she pulled her siblings out of her shadow. They were sleeping so she wrapping on around the back of her neck while the other laid in her arms. Then she walk back into the suffocating barrier, uneasy that they might attack her. So she stood by the edge of the field of ice.**
Anthony
*The man grabbed forward and grabbed the hilt of the sword. Despite its size and length, this sword wasn't terribly heavy. In fact it was light in his hand, as he swung a single time, the blade cut through the air seamlessly as he examined the blade carefully. He chuckled as he already figured out how this sword works... It is simply a work of art. He twirled the sword as it seem weightless in his hand. Then he performed the forms of the Mount Hua Sect Swordsmanship as he swung the sword... Moving gracefully and swiftly... The blade having no trouble whatsoever when swung or giving difficulty for him to wield... This sword was truly monstrous with what it can do. He walked over to an anvil and swung down as hard as he could... It went through no problem, however there was no cut made on the anvil. He raised a brow as he wondered why the sword didn't cut the anvil. Once more he tried... Eventually having tried dozens of times, having yet to cut the anvil. Though on his next swing, he willed for it to cut, willed for it to be split in half. As this time, he swung downwards onto the anvil. As the sword cut the anvil, it was like cutting through butter... Smooth and effortless, however the extent of the cut extend to even cutting the ground under the anvil after splitting it. There his eyes widened and his jaw dropped feeling somewhat guilty because of this small mishap*

```"Emmmm... Uh... Sis... There's no problem if there's a cut... Like on the floor right?"```

*He asked nervously as he himself would hope he wouldn't get scalded for playing around with his new toy. After asking the question, he carefully held the blade and grabbed the sheathe. Then sheathing the blade and placing it on his back.*
Elisha
*Smiles as she came back he extended his hand out to her to offer her a hand with the sleeping dragons he was very happy to help*

`"I help?"`

*He speaks in her language softly*
Matthew
*Grimaced towards him narrowing her eyes as she sees the cut on the floor and the destruction of her anvil she had spent money on to get she also dodged where ever he twirled the sword as it was massive and was close to cutting her*

`"Watch where you swing that thing! It's sharp! You trying to kill me???! I thought I was your sister!"`

*As he sheathes the sword she gently smacked the back of his head*

`"Baka!"`
Karl
**Ephemera shock her head from side to side. Pulling Regula closer into her chest.**

"No."
Elisha
*Bows his head seeing that she felt uncomfortable he finally frowned, not being able to speak her language began to take a toll once more he felt as if she didn't feel safe around him anymore. Did he do something wrong was he being an inhospitable host?*

`"I sowy I sowy!"`

*He said as tears welled in his eyes as he lowered his head to her*
Anthony
*He chuckled nervously as he sincerely didn't intend on doing such damage like that. He turned towards her and bowed apologizing deeply as he simply didn't mean to do such thing... Heh... Sometimes playing with toys can cause some trouble hm?*

```"Sorry... Sorry... I had fun with it though"```

*He chuckled smiling brightly*
Matthew
*Jumped ontop of his back and tried to pull him down her tail swaying as she wrapped her arms around him as she giggles happily*

`"Im glad you did but I am strong dragon! Rawr!"`
Karl
**Ephemera shifted Regula too one side of her arm and held out her hand for him to hold. When her other siblings were sad they would want to be held or go on a walk around their home. She was trying to do the same for him.**

"Moon."

**She said with a bright grin.**
Anthony
*The man was pounced on as he was knocked off balancing swerving all over the place to try to regain his balance. After a few seconds he found himself stable and capable of holding her, he laughed loudly with her as this girl was truly a child as heart, it was quite obvious. Even if this woman was over a few centuries old, his still thought of her as his younger sister, this is because of her resemblance to his younger Junior Disciple sister*

```"Hahaha, the dragon couldn't take the might swordsman down! Now... Next thing is, where do I get myself a spear?"```

*He asked as he had some kind of plan, something that could possibly bring him up to the next level in martial arts*
Elisha
*Looks up to her as his tears sparkle in the moonlight he held out his hand for her to take as he saw her bright smile he sniffles softly, as he take a few breaths trying to calm down.*
Matthew
*She giggles as she holds onto him as he regained his footing she pouts as he holds onto her piggy back style she speaks*

`"No fun! Oh spear you can find in the weapons room! Just inside the inn! Let's go!!"`

*She laughs as she holds onto him as if she was his backpack*
Anthony
*He chuckled as he nodded holding onto her legs like a piggy back ride. Then propelled himself out of the place, zooming down the halls at high speeds all the way to the storage room*

```"Hold on tight!!!! Weeeeee!!!!!"```
Karl
**When Akinsi calmed himself down, she trotted off to find Orestis via her smell. Dragging him along with her by his hand.**

"Too dragon lady!"

**She chuckled nervously.**
Matthew
*Held on tight as she watched him go zoom she giggles as her hair sways behind her as the made it to the storage room she slowly slid off his back and flopped down crisscross on the floor her tail thumping on the ground happily*

`"There are many spears to choose from!"`
Elisha
*Was dragged along and stumbled over his feet as she pulled him he smiles softly.*

`"Dragon lady!"`

*He mimicked her words looking at her to see if he got it right his eyes focused on the storage room to see Orestis and cheong inside.*
Anthony
*The man looked around and walked around examining the spears. The quality of the spears here weren't bad don't get me wrong. However they weren't to his liking... They were seomthing... Something was missing from finding the right spear for him. In the corner of his eye, he saw a gleam... He walked over to it and picked it out under a large pile of spears. Then low and behold, it was a staff? It appeared to be an ordinary wooden staff, but Cheong Myeong knew something was different about this weapon. He held it with both hands and wanted to test it out, as such he swung it fiercely, dancing around with the staff, twirling it wildly as he was just a simple beginner with the staff. Suddenly images appeared in his head as he began seeing techniques and movements with the staff being used...*
Karl
**Ephemera looks back at him with a smile and nods her head. Then pokes her head inside the room, but didn't enter.**

"Hello...?"

**She chirped, letting go of Akinsi hand and holding onto Regula.**
Matthew
*Her gaze shifted as she spooked slightly and her eyes came out with an aura that would make anyone feel small*
Elisha
*Eyes narrowed as he didn't know why his master was always this intimidating he took a breath behind ephemera worried.*
Anthony
*Cheong Myeong paused upon being under the gaze. He stood there as his hands shook uncontrollably as he knew something was about to spark. He immediately placed the staff on the back of his waist with his sword. The immediately wrapped his arms around Orestis, standing in front of her to block her view. Once more he tried to comfort her*

"Shhh... Little sister... Focus... Me and you... Focus on me and breathe... Breathe and suppress, it's alright... You are safe... Big brother is here standing with you. I am your sword and I will protect you as such..."

*He said this in a soothing and calming voice, trying to to get her to calm herself and to be able to get herself more level hesded*
Karl
**Ephemera back away into Akinsi. She wanted to run far away but if she left Akinsi, would he die too when she came back?**

"W-why is she mad at me..."

**Her voice was slightly broken as she stroked Regula head with shaking hands.**
Matthew
*Closed her eyes as she felt his warm embrace she leaned into his arms as her aura died out why was another person making her lose control of her emotions?? She slowly began to calm down she gently placed her hand on cheongs shoulder and smiles softly*

`"I'm ok... Im.. Ok just tell her to come in I would like to see why she is seeking me out... It might help my nerves."`
Elisha
*Felt her back away into him he gently held her shoulder and shook his head*

`"Master worried. No mad."`
Anthony
*Cheong Myeong nodded as he patted her head gently and turned walking towards the door and opening. He gestured forward to welcome them in*

"My Younger Sister said to come in, please don't be shy"

*The man smiled, his presence was warm and calming. He tried to be welcoming towards the people at the door as he knew they didn't hold an I'll intent*
Karl
**Ephemera entered slowly revealing the two baby dragon around her neck and arms. The reason she was here was to confirm that it was alright for her and her siblings to stay here.**

"Um... This is Regula and the one on my neck is Signy." **She said quietly, pointing to each of them.** "Is it really ok for us to stay here? It will only be for a few days until I figure out where to go from here."
Matthew
*Smiles softly as she was sitting crisscross on the floor she would see the 2 baby dragons around her neck she took a small breath seeing Akinsi beside her she tilted her head slightly*

`"You can stay as long as you need... Are you like me can you also turn into a dragon? Also how are you communicating with Akinsi? He doesn't speak your tongue?"`
Anthony
*As the man saw the two baby dragons, he instantly went into "It's a baby mode" Where he began to gush, filled with baby fever... How adorable that is!!!! And they're two of them, truly cute. Though perhaps was this what was driving his younger sister go mad at brief periods of time?*
Karl
"I can... But I'm a little bigger than them so I can't show you in here..."

**Ephemera said sheepishly with her head hung low, but never taking her eyes off of them. When she mentioned Akinsi she seemed to smile softly.**

"He understand simple words but I have been dragging him around. Hehe. He gave me these clothes and took care of me."
Matthew
*Stands slowly up as she walked towards her her expression void of all emotion as she smiles softly at Akinsi, she sighs softly.*

`"Has he been very hospitable? If not I can send him away. The clothes you wear fit you nicely brings out your figure."`

*She looks at the dress before looking towards her servant*

`"Why have you been dragging around my friend?"`
Karl
**With the sudden attitude change she quickly take action to guard Akinsi. Stepping forward protectively while her black eyes turn to slitted ones and meet Orestis gaze with the same emotionless eyes. The back of her spine vibrating rapidly, filling the room with the sound of rattling bones. A warning that she was to close for comfort.**

"Because he doesn't understand me. So I have to drag him and point too things."

**Regula and Signy had waken up and jumped out of her arms and behind Ephemera.**
Matthew
*Eyes suddenly turned to her own blood red dragon slits as she let out a soft hiss, as her dragon teeth came out, she dare challenge her in her own house? She however was impressed that she would stand up for a stranger so her eyes slowly turned softer as she remembers that cheong said to control herself her fangs disappeared as she gently placed her hand gently on the girls cheek softly before speaking in a kinder tone.*

`"Just don't hurt him, he is my family... I don't want him to be injured oh! Maybe you can teach him your language?"`

*She said before speaking once more.*

`"I won't harm you or my family... Unless you try to kill me or things I care about my word is my bond."`

*She steps back to give her some space. However this was brought upon trying to make cheong proud that she was able to control herself.*
Anthony
*Cheong raised a brow as he walked over to Orestis' side, patting her head gently. He chuckled and was happy to see that Orestis had controlled her instincts. However the way she portrays herself is another thing*

"Little Sis, try being nicer to them would you? They're guests of this inn"

*He said smacking the back of her head as he shook his head. Then also forced her to bow along with him*

"I apologize for my Younger Sister's rudeness, please pay no mind for the random sudden hostility"
Karl
**Ready to pounce at Orestis, she was surprised that she had only placed a gently hand on her cheek. She flicked her face away and picked Regula and Signy up. Her eyes shifted back to black and she back away beside Akinsi.**

"Hmm." **She grunted as she nodded in agreement.** "You should be carful, if the hunters find out your a dragon. They will come for you and your family, strip you of your armor and bone... Then again... You probably have lived longer in human society."

**She inched behind Akinsi, burying her face in his sleeve to hide her face.**
Matthew
*She felt the smack behind her head and grumbled tried to playfully bite his hand as she did so she missed as she was pushed down into a bowing position her face turned red embarssed, she would definitely get him back for this! She began plotting for his demise in this very moment, not literally though.*

`"I'm sorry... For my behavior please forgive me.. I won't be worried about hunters coming for me... I have lived with society my whole life and been in an eternity of darkness I fear nothing... But that darkness."`

*She stated as she sees her hide in Akinsi sleeve she slowly smiles softly*

`"I promise to protect you if you join me and my friend... In return all is ask is for you to help teach me to control my instincts... And you can have akinsi as a friend to help you with whatever you need."`

*She tried to be more nicer like cheong mentioned*

`"After all we are bothe dragon kin.."`
Elisha
*Gently held her close to his chest and patted her head with the softest smile*
Anthony
"Ah to sweeten the deal, if you join us and specifically under my peerage, I guess you could say peerage, you can learn swordsmanship under me"

*He smiled brightly as he wished to help this woman as he knew that perhaps learning some self defense would help her in the process*
Karl
**Ephemera looks at both of them suspicious. The two baby dragon wrap around her neck and stare at Orestis with worry filled eyes.**

"But we are not kin. We were not born from my mother. How could you offer help so easily?" **Tears build up in her eyes as the memories of Silas began to fill her mind. She peaks her head over Akinsi arms to checks the Conner of the room.**

"What's a friends? And I don't understand your words."

**She said pointing to Cheong but continued to look too the Conner of the room.**
Gene
*This time it wasn't the corner of the room but in place of Akinsi*

`"A friend is someone who offers help for nothing in return like this man that Is holding you."`

*He says she could feel as if a hand was on her shoulder if she would look back she would see Silas for a brief moment before he would phase through her and disappear with a whisper in the wind only something she could hear*

`"What's my name."`
Matthew
*Tilts her head at cheong before speaking.*

`"Hey! I want her to be under my care... We are both dragons... What I meant by kin is race not blood kin. So we are both kin by race or was you taught differently? I could offer help because I know what pain is what sadness is... What having no emotions or senses is. No one will understand but me."`

*She said her voice very serious, seeing her look to the corner of the room it was confusing.*
Anthony
"Ah ah ah little Sis, I asked first, big brother has the priority ha ha ha ha. But please take my younger sister's words, I promise you that you'll be safe under our care."

*He smiled warmly as he could, he welcome any and all*
Karl
**Ephemera looked up at Akinsi in pain, her lip's quivering and when she saw Silas for only a moment she hurried her face into his chest. 'I broke my vow! I broke it!' Repeated in her mind as she shock profusely. She didn't have the strength to answer them.**
Elisha
*Sees her shaking as she held onto him tightly he looked down at the girl feeling bad for her not knowing what she was going through he gently put his hand behind her head and held her softly*

`"Shhh Shhh..."`

*He gently rubs her back with his soft hands looking at them he speaks to Orestis in his foreign language.*

`"I'll try to get her to accept just give me some time ok?"`
Matthew
`"Alright fine you won this one.."`

*She sees the girl shaking as she looked terrified she didn't know what was going on with her, she spoke in her foreign tongue back to Akinsi they would be impossible to understand.*

`"I see take care of her when she is feeling a little better I'll send cheong in to speak to her he is more versed in compassion and caring then me. These people don't understand our tongue it is strange and there customs are different to but I trust this man and seigi"`
Anthony
*Cheong smiled as he blew a raspberry at Orestis playfully, but seeing as Ephemera suddenly freak out almost he was rather concerned. First that came to thought was that did they do something wrong? The second one is, it would appear she doesn't have a good past, as per her reference to the hunters. She sighed as he heard them speak in strange and peculiar tongues.*

```"Hey little Sis... There seems to be something that troubles this woman. Do not worry about responding to me, just nod if you understand. I'm not sure what it is, but I can say for sure, we must make sure she does not leave our sight"```

*He said this not out loud but a transmission of a message through her heard. His words and voice were loud and clear coming from inside her head.*
Karl
**Ephemera looked up at Akinsi, tugging at the collar of his shirt.**

"Are these people good? The lady won't hurt me right?"

**She was panicked, here eyes shooting across the room for Silas again. Maybe he could answer her question again.**
Gene
*Appeared just Infront of her once more as he stares at her bloodied up like he was when he was killed with the note in his hand*

`"I don't know I'm only in your head. Trust your instincts even though you couldn't save me maybe you could save your next friend? Isn't your oath your bond? You made an oath to be my friend?"`

*He said softly as blood dripped from his hair tips as he walked behind Orestis staring at her softly and quietly as a sword formed into his chest and he began to eat the note as he did when he was dying to protect her*
Elisha
Held onto her looking at her lips he held her tightly lifting her off her feet into his arms like a child as he smiles softly nuzzling her head softly with his soft lips then his forehead not knowing what she was asking.*

`"I will take my leave with her now I like the man who is with you he is good for you. Help change your ways..."`

*He began to walk away holding her.*
Matthew
`"Thank you very much."`

*She returns to the language they could all understand.*

`"Akinsi said he will take care of her. He won't let her leave his sight if anything he will tell us."`

*She goes over to his side and rests her head under his arm*
Karl
"My instinct, but I told me to run. I'm sorry..."

**She muttered to herself, reach out a hand for Silas but then Akinsi had picked her up so she only watched in horror as the bloodily image of Silas formed behind her. She crumbled into Akinsi arms, squeezing her eyes shut as she pounded the side of her head with a fist.**

"I don't know your name."

**She cried, pounding the side of her head harder and harder.**
Anthony
*As Aksinsi began to leave with Ephemera, he waved goodbye to the two, smiling brightly. When Orestis assured him that she will not leave their sight made him feel relieved. However when Ephemera began pounding at the side of her head, he rushed over to grab her arm to prevent her from continuing to do so*

```"Ma'am... You are safe here... Do not worry, you are under good care. I promise you, you are safe here"```

*He said trying to calm the woman down, seeing as she freaked out once more. There is something wrong and he simply didn't know what, he didn't know what plagued her seeing that these past few moments she seemed to be not fully engaged into the conversation. Something was distracting her*
Elisha
*He held her tightly he would see her first pounding the side of her head his eyes widened as he exhales time felt like it slowed as he activated his unique ability to move as fast as the wind and the wind guided his hand almost in multiple after images but still even moving this fast he seen the man cheong best him to her arm and his eyes stared in utter pure shock, that he was beaten to helping her. He was by far flabbergasted indeed but he decided to moved his hand to cradle her head like a child so if she tried again to hit herself it would hit his hand.*

`"U ok? U safe?"`

*He speaks like a child as he was still learning the words he mimicked off of cheong as he nuzzles her head into his warm clothing.*
Michael
Ep"Lies!"

**Ephemera shouts, trying to pull her arms away from them. Tears streaming down her face but seem to be fixated on Oresitis now. Upon look closer she was looking beside Oresitis, where Silas was standing.**
Gene
`"I tried my best to protect you..."`

*He coughed up blood as he fell to his knees and then looked at her as tears rolled down his cheeks but were made up of blood*

`"Can I still teach you your next lesson?"`

*He held a bloody paper of her next lesson in her hand then the next image that flashed in her head was him on the pole tied up dead then another flash of the person who did it, was Silas trying to show her his murderer? But I was only a brief moment where she would see his murder the women turned to look at empherma with a mishevious smile*

`"He died for you and you weren't there."`

*Her voice rang out in her head before the vision faded away.*
Anthony
*Cheong Myeong let go of her hand for the time being seeing as she had stopped for the time being and turned walking back to Orestis' side. Once he stood next to Orestis, he waved good bye seeing as this woman needs to rest and also needs some time to rest*
Matthew
*Looked at her eyes then behind her to see nothing there she felt uneasy that the women was staring at her she gently tugged cheongs robe*

`"Maybe she is seeing an illusion of sorts? She is dead set on something someone... Being here that isn't here..."`

*She says quietly.*
Elisha
*Shook his head as he moved quickly to the room she was to be staying at and set her gently in the bed and kneeled beside it holding her hand tightly in his soft one with a soft smile he moved slowly close and wiped her tears with his hankerchief gently*

`"It ok... I'm here..."`
Anthony
*The man shrugged as he simply didn't know. But from here he just awaited for further instructions on how to proceed*&
Matthew
*Looked at his behavior it was strange so she spoke once more*

`"Now look who is being the cold one."`

*She nudged his arm softly*
Karl
**Ephemera inaudible cry subsided as the bridge of her nose crinkled and carnal gaze, imprint onto the image of the women. She lowered her head softly onto his shoulder, her ruby eyes glaring at her as until she left the room.**

"Thank you..."

**She chirped, wiping the last of her tears away as she gently placed the two baby dragons into the bed.**
Elisha
`"U Wecome!"`

*He says joyfully as he remembers the words she was asking over and over to him.*

`"Nae? Tank u? Lie?"`

*His words were broken but he was trying his hardest as she set the baby dragons on the bed he gently pulled a blanket over them to tuck them in*
Karl
**Ephemera flops to her side and they nuzzle under her arms. Nibbling at her hair as they spin around a few times before laying down. She softly rubs her sore throat and griped Akinsi's hand a little tighter. Lost in her thoughts of what she needed to do in order to find that women. 'First, I need to get stronger.'**
Elisha
*Smiles happily seeing her turn over and hold his hand tighter he gently leaned up moving the hair from her forehead and kissing her head softly before sitting down on a chair beside the bed to make sure she was ok as he pulled out the book to learn more of language holding onto her hand as he did this*
Anthony
*Cheong Myeong smacked teh back of Orestis' head once more as that was a funny remark she made there.*

```"To be honest, she has some major chains dragging her behind from moving forward."```

*He said as he gripped his fist tightly seeing that currently it wasn't up to him whether he helped or not*
Karl
**Ephemera didn't understand why he had pressed his lips on her head but thought it was another weird things humans did. No long after she quietly drifts off to sleep but Regula was still awake. Licking Akinsi hand gently. It tasted good to her.**
Elisha
*Giggles softly as the dragon licked his hand he gently played with it with his finger poking at it's belly very very softly.*
Delbert
**The tiny dragon gently mobbed at his fingers. It's black scales blended in nicely with her older sisters black hair. As she kicked her legs up in the air, getting tangled.**
