Edythe
*She felt herself being carried she laid on the bed moaning softly in pain, as she felt like garbage like she was going to die as she felt like an elephant was sitting on her head*

`"I feel sick..."`

*She leaned over like she was going to vomit as her hair fell across her face*
Nina
*He smirked to himself, kneeling onto the floor and placing his hand on her side midsection.*
**"That's what happens when you drink that stuff."**
*He noted, feeling completely fine himself. He closed his eyes, opening the Eye of Restoration. Green healing energy gathered around his palm, snaking out into her body. This would help with the nausea and general woozy feeling.*
Edythe
*She groans softly in pain as she begins to vomit some of the food and liquor in her system on the floor as he placed his hand on her stomach he would feel a few abs as she had a well defined stomach but not to the point it would be unattractive. She felt herself feeling a little better she wiped her mouth softly casting magic and cleaning the mess she gently hugs seigi after he was finished and tries to cuddle him*
Nina
*He blinked, astonished at what happened. Shrugging, he sighed and shook his head. It eez what it eez, as they say. He was a bit shocked to feel her toned musculature under her soft stomach, but in a world like that he shouldn't be. He was more shocked, however, when the now completely sober Orestis began to wrap her arms around him. He slowly stood, kicking off his worn shoes and sliding down next to her, closing his eyes as he slid an arm beneath her, putting the other gently on the top of her head.*
Edythe
*She began to drift off the sleep not letting go of seigi as she breathes softly her hair splayed all across her face and bed she rested her cheek on his arm as slid it under her head she slept peacefully*

*After some time she woke up slowly a few hours had passed she felt arms around her she yawns softly and nuzzles into his chest gently moved strands of his hair away from his face with her hand as she red ruby eyes looked upon his peaceful sleeping face she slowly slipped out of the bed moving her pillow into his arms so he wouldn't wake as she planned to return back into bed in a few, she walked over to Isaac, gently hugging his head with her arms as he was asleep she was happy to see him looking much better then when he was at the city, she took a soft breath and pets his head softly before going to find a bathroom she stumbled a bit as she left the room still just beyond tipsy a little drunk is all*
Bill
*In the cover of night a group of 20 cultists including the one they had met prior surrounded the now drunk and asleep establishment. One of the cracked open the door into the HQ and observed what the situation was inside.*
Edythe
*She walked to the door of the establishment seeing it opened she hiccuped softly her vision still slightly blurry she tilts her head softly and speaks very politely as and her posture very submissive*

`"Do you happen to know where the bathroom is?"`

*She placed her hands together and rested them by her waist as she looked at them her words still slurring a bit.*
Nina
*When Orestis got up, it woke him up too. He didn't get up until she did, too. He sat up, sliding off the bed and slipping on his shoes. He picked up the sword he had leaning on the bedside table and looped it into his belt. He stood there, looking over at the door which had opened slightly. He narrowed his eyes. Nobody should be visiting...*

*He laid his hand on the pommel of his sword, slowly inching toward the door.*
Bill
*The cultist who was standing at the door quickly grabbed Orestis by the horns and covered her mouth at the same time before dragging her outside where the other cultists lay in wait.*
Edythe
*She was to drunk to understand what was going on everything happened so quickly she went to scream as her horns were grabbed it hurt like they were trying to rip them off they were extremely sensitive she began to cry from the pain as they covered her mouth and dragged her outside she wiggles and tries to get away from them unable to do anything.*
Nina
*You see, Seigi has a tendency to rush headlong into situations he should most definitely...*

***Not fucking be in.***

*He drew the sword, rushing out as soon as the man grabbed Orestis. He activated the Eye of Strength, his skin phasing black and red lines coursing strong energy throughout his muscles, he took a leaping step forward, throwing a powerful right fist directly toward the Cultist's cloaked and/or armored face, jumping over Orestis and him.*

*He landed behind the man, holding his sword in his left hand and crouching on the ground with one arm in front of him, an angry grimace covering his face.*
Bill
*The cultist was sent flying backwards letting Orestis go. He landed on his back with a solid thud as the his helm cracked from the punch. However, when he landed behind the cultist, he found himself surrounded by the other 19 cultists. However, one was different and was standing about 6ft behind him.*
Heather
*Aside from appearances this particular cultists conjured a stable black fireball with a reddish outlining to it. Indicating whatever power these cultists worshipped this one in particular is using probably the closest they can to the original. They spoke toward Segi in almost a hiss.* "Well done, but before you do anything else. I have a proposition for you." *They threw the black fireball at the inn setting it ablaze.* "The girl or the people you call comrades inside that building? Make your choice."
Edythe
*Looked at him her beautiful white hair getting coated in blood from her horn being held so violently she bit the mans hand hard sinking her teeth into it, she struggled violently tears streaming down her pretty white face now full of terror*
Todd
*Isshi appeared in a cloud, coating the area in thick, obscuring black smoke. The cultists would be plunged into darkness as several of the soldiers would feel the sharp blade of a dagger being driven into their necks, between their armor. He formed his body just behind the cult noble, his hand on his wrist, behind his back. He spoke calmly, very diplomatically to the noble.*
**"I do not have interest in whatever affairs are transpiring here. I, from one noble to another, politely ask you to take your duel elsewhere. Any further damage would not be very good for my business.**
Nina
*He held a hand over his face as the land around him was covered in the dark, opaque fog. He felt along the ground, inching forward and sweeping until he found orestis' prone body. He put a hand on her stomach, shushing her quietly.*
**"It's me."**
Heather
*The apostles that were suddenly struck in the neck with the dagger would collapse choking on their own blood. The cultist noble sighed.* "From that display, you're obviously an ancient vampire. It's impressive that you assumed that I am of nobility. If you wish to talk business." *The cultist points toward Orestis.* "She belongs to us as she has received The Dark One's blessing."
Edythe
*She felt his hand on her stomach, she gasps softly as he shushes her she goes quiet as he said tears rolling down her cheeks she was frozen in fear*
Paul
*Was standing beside Isaac she was tasked with watching over him her eyes gently focused on his skin color she was sitting there in awe at this handsome man.*
Stephen
*He would wake up, sitting up as if he had a nightmare. He places a hand on his face before running it up through his hair to get it out of his face. He looks over to see a woman he hasnt seen before and lifts up his cane.*

"Who are you? Where is Orestis?"
Paul
*She smiles softly at him her feminine voice rang out as she gently stopped his hand and used her free one to move the hair out of his face for him*

`"She has some trouble going on outside. I am her top commander here entrusted to watch over you..."`


*She says slightly nervously as her small face looks down hoping she didn't be to much of a bother. To him her horns were prevalent along with her purple like tail, she was half elf half tiefling she curls her tail around her leg scared and worried as she wasn't use to talking to others.*
Stephen
*He would smile as he was indebted to Orestis once again. He pats this girls head before standing up with his cane.*

"Thank you for keeping me safe, it is nice to be watched over by someone like me."

*His tail would wag at the sight of another tiefling. He would then plan on his way of helping his friends as they were in trouble. He would ask for her help.*

"Can you get something from my pack? Theres a way i can help. It looks like a sleeve of sorts. Also is there a way i can overlook what is going on to them? Some sort of high ground?" 

*He would point to his backpack.*
Paul
*Sees his tail wag it caused her tail to wag as she was casting ice magic around the room as the building was burning around them, as he patted her head she blushes deeply waving her hand swatting at his*

`"Don't do that!"`

*She grumbles as she goes over to grab his backpack and brings it over to the bed her tail wagging happily as she opens it.*

`"Yes there is there is a building across from the inn that overlooks the entire street. But I can't let you help when your hurt."`

*She says as she looks at his cane and as he stood up she gently moved to help hold him up shaking her head trying to get rid of the pink blush on her cheeks no one ever patted her head before.*
Stephen
"I must help. It is my duty as her friend, you can choose to help me or stop me. I have to do it since i owe her so much."

*He turns his head to her with sorrow. He couldnt let his friend get hurt just like she did for him. He needed to return the favour. He moves to the backpack and uses her help to take out a sleeve. The sleeve was his personal invention. A crossbow fitted onto a sleeve. He slides his right arm into the sleeve and places his first three fingers into the three rings that acted as triggers. He takes out a set of three different kinds of bolts and clicks the crossbow into activation.*

"Its time dad."

*He said to himself, smiling. He then grabbed the cane and looked at her.*

"Let me do this."
Paul
*Moves with him as she goes into his backpack, to take out a crossbow fitted to a sleeve, she blinks softly and shook her head she knew she couldn't stop him*

`"I can't stop you... So I guess I can help you..."`

*She sighs softly her soft feminine voice and light purple hue eyes going to the ground*

`"Promise me you won't do anything stupid..."`

*She says as she casts a spell and breaks the ceiling to the building by freezing it and shattering the now brittle material she created an ice pillar the two would be standing on and propelled them above the inn then created an ice slide making the two slide to the building across from the inn, before she did this she casted a spell making snowy ice clouds form and a blizzard below them to conceal there approach and to help orestis and seigi*
Stephen
"I promise."

*He would say before they were launched and moved. He would slide across it while he looked down to see the concealment. He would see that they were heading for the building across. He would begin breathing in and out as he was getting closer, a feeling in his legs permeating as he then jumps from the slide and lands on the roof. He would smile before wobbling and catching himself with his cane. He would use his cane to kneel down and begin to see the situation.*
Glenn
*They wouldn't be able to see much of anything anyway... The entire area was covered by a thick black fog.*
Stephen
*He would see the fog, not being able to see into it. He needed to help. He would then hear a voice. One that would aid him for this moment.*

***Master. You require my help. I will be your legs.***

*His first phantom would speak within him, taking the role of his legs. He would stand up straight as he looks at Iferia. His eyes would let out green glows. He smiles as he hands her his cane.*

"Bring this back when im done. It is very important to me. I never introduced myself, I am Isaac Creed." 

*With his newly possessed legs, he would climb down the building and run into the fog, trying to find them in its deepness or a clearing.*
Todd
*The vampire slinked closer. The cultist would be able to make out the vague details of a red mask which covered his face. He hummed softly, seemingly floating over to the man's outstretched hand, tracing a finger along his arm and looking at the potent brimstone fireball.*
**"Mmm... I can smell it in your blood."**

*He said, moving back behind him. It was obvious he wasn't going to attack, he merely wanted the cultist and his men to leave him.*
Stephen
*There was one other item he took from his pack. He would don the wooden mask he was given by Orestis. It was do or die. He would begin to slowly walk ahead, hoping that anyone would see him approach. The green energy flowed out from his mask as he continued his slow and menacing walk. He had his bolts ready incase of a fight.*
Paul
*She had stuck the landing she held the cane the man gave her, her tail sways left to right, seeing him now walking she was confused, as he jumped down she reached her arm out trying to stop him but she failed*

`"No is safer up her..."`

*She sighs then pouts puffing her cheeks out upset why did he have to be so stubborn?! All she wanted to do was make sure he was safe, she looked at his cane and decided she would make this a temporary staff to channel her magic into as she watches the cultist from below, mainly keeping her soft eyes on Isaac, until he disappeared into the smog, her snow that was falling into the smog allowed her to sense everyone and everything the snow touched, she was very worried for Isaac even though they had just met.*
Heather
*The cultist gave the order to the surviving apostles to retreat and exited the town, not leaving their guard down all the while.*
Stephen
*He would wonder through the fog and not see anything. He would scratch his chin before looking around. He decides to try and find Orestis and Seigi.*

"Oresits! Seigi!"

*He would shout, not caring if he was found.*
Edythe
*She was still being held by seigi she had painful tears falling from her eyes as the cultist retreated she fell to her knees to hold her bleeding horn*

`"It hurts!"`
Paul
*Senses all the cultists have fled she created a slide of ice and slid down it attempting to land beside orestis but she miscalculated and crashed into Isaac landing directly ontop of him her chest in his face she groans softly*
Stephen
*He couldnt foresee this miscalculation and he falls backwards onto his back. Her hitting him caused his mask to fly off and his demon to suddenly vanish from shock so his legs stopped working again. He groans before not being able to breath.*
Todd
*He retracted most of his cloud, concentrating it around him. The sun was still around.. It was still dangerous for him. He walked over to the group, appearing as a small flurry of black, shifting fog. He moved toward them, stepping past. From the cloud a soothing voice called.*
**"Please, all of you, come inside with me."**
*Isshi offered as he continued into the inn.*
Nina
*He sighed deeply as the cloud disappeared, seeing that the cultists were gone. He deactivated the First Eye, his skin softening and returning to its normal hue. He placed a hand on her chin, using his other hand to gently wipe away the blood seeping from her horns. He didn't have enough mana to transfer into the Restoration Eye, so it would have to go the slow way. He wiped the blood with his hands, looking into her blood-red eyes.*
**"Itll be fine..."**
*He reassured gently.*
Paul
*She takes a softly breath and sits up on Isaac's waist collecting herself once more, she saw what she did she panicked as she moved off and gently lifted his back off the ground and then lifted his arms up to let air fill his lungs*

`"I'm so sorry please be ok!"`

*She said gently rubbing his back*
Edythe
*She holds her head around the horn as she looked up at him her red hues filled with agony, she felt him gently wipe the blood from her horns she winces closing her eyes slightly before standing up shakily, as she was shaken up by almost being kidnapped she trembles her legs shaking alot*
Stephen
*He breathes and coughs, laughing at how she smashed into him. He sits up to be sat down. He was all happy until he looked straight ahead. He saw the state that Orestis was in. The look on his face drooped down into a look of shock. His heart began to pound. Hr failed in returning the favor. He failed his job as a friend.*

"No..."

*He tries to stand, angry with himself that he was so weak. He wobbles before leaning against a wall. He hasnt eaten for a few days now, he could feel his stomach aching for his need for food. He hits the wall, his hair drooping down as he looks at the ground.*
Paul
*Looks at him and sees him laughing then his happy face turned sour just as fast she shakes her head as she sees him struggling she moves beside him and under his arm she was shorter then him but she was also very strong! She moved a hand gently to move his hair out of his face*

`"I know what your thinking... It's ok, to feel this way I promise you'll be able to help her but first you have to help yourself. Please let me help you now and get some food in your tummy."`

*She giggles and gently nuzzles into his chest trying to comfort him*
Stephen
*He wants to answer but all he could do is start crying before he would pass out from malnutrition. At this rate, he wont survive since he keeps neglecting food and water.*
Paul
*Catches him and holds him in her arms she began to take him to an inn away from Orestis and seigi so she could help him without him being so stubborn as she gets to the room she had began to heat up the beef stew she was previously cooking but was tasked to look over Isaac she got a bowl and propped his head up on three pillows taking a wooden spoon and scooping some beef stew up with a soft smile and gently opened his mouth blowing on it so it wasn't to hot but also not get to cold then slow began to help him eat ensuring he didn't choke*
Nina
*He placed his hands on both of Orestis' shoulders.*
**"Hey, calm down. It's fine now."**
*He brought her in, softly wrapping his arms around her. He rested his Chin on the top of her head, between her ivory horns. He wasn't exactly sure what to do from this point... He doesn't have much experience in this field.*
Edythe
*She nuzzles into his chest as he placed his chin in-between her horns she sniffles softly and felt safe in his arms she slowly began to calm down feeling his warmth her cheeks began to feel hot and flush red as she hears his soft heartbeat.*

`"Thank you for saving me... I'm sorry for ruining the beautiful dress you got me..."`

*She says with a soft smile followed by a sniffle.*
Nina
*He slowly released her, stepping back and turning toward the Interlopers Tavern. He waited next to her, hands at his sides.*
**"Lets go, they're inside."**
Edythe
*She holds her head softly where the bleeding was she began to wobble before gaining her footing she began to head inside hiding her pain the best she could*
Nina
*He begins to walk toward the door, slipping his hands into his pockets.*
Edythe
*She walks inside holding her head still looking around slowly her tail swishing on the ground* 

`"What's going on..?'`
