Long before the commotion had started, a cloaked figure had exited the hideout. Adeline left just as she appeared before the group of hunters, covered head to toe in a dull grey cloak. It was somewhat cliche, but she preferred not to let any foes she would encounter see her face. Then again, it's hard to forget someone who is blind and still breathing in this day and age.<br/><br/>She wandered the listless landscape for half an hour before her ethereal salamander decided to speak up.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Why are you leaving? I was looking forward to seeing more red today!</span>Tiresias chimed.<br/><br/>"I have a feeling that this haven will end up mirroring our last one," she replied with a hint of melancholy in her voice. "I suppose that makes me a coward, doesn't it?"<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">It sure does! You're a complete and utter pansy if you just walk away like that, especially with the Great Tiresias at your beck and call!</span><br/><br/>"Isn't it just about survival? I'd prefer not to get mixed up into any skirmishes if I can avoid them."<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Avoid!?</span>screamed the lizard.<span style="font-style: italic">This isn't avoiding! This is a pure, all out abscond beyond all recognition! You've absconded so much, that you're practically leaving the atmosphere!</span><br/><br/>The nonsensical blathering of Tiresias confused Adeline, but the message seemed to be delivered, somewhat. It was odd to see her demon trying to tell the woman to go into a battle rather than run away. Perhaps this relates to the conversation from yesterday, in which the demon mentioned that he wished to see more than the dull muddy colors that surround his vision on a constant basis. It seems the reason for his joining was for more than just amusement, but maybe hope that the world could be restored in some way. He must place a lot of trust in the group of hunters if he believes that they can succeed.<br/><br/>"I'm beginning to 'see' it now," Adeline joked, putting a lot of emphasis on the word relating to sight. "Here I thought you would stay below my already low expectations. Maybe there is hope for you yet?"<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">What are you talking about? Stay focused on the road, woman, or else you'll just end up killing another poor defenseless rock!</span>Tiresias exclaimed.<br/><br/>The handicapped woman smiled as she backtracked toward the hideout. Though, she didn't get far before the exhaustion and soreness caused from yesterday's events wore on her heavily. She pressed her back to a building in an alleyway, sliding down until she assumed a relaxed position. She was still about 15 minutes or so from the hideout, but even with Tiresias's urging, she dozed off once again, just as she did yesterday.<br/><br/>***<br/><br/>Screams of the damned faintly echoed through the air, rousing Adeline from her dazed state. Obviously, their cries weren't very faint to her, it was as if someone shouted into her eardrum at point blank range. With the help of her cane, she lifted herself onto her feet. Something did seem to happen at the hideout, if the screams were any indication. Her fears might have come true, however, the result of the battle was not even close to what happened at the other hunter haven.<br/><br/>With her back still pressed against that wall, she could still hear the events transpiring at the hideout. She gathered as much as she could from the events, but obviously none were as shocking as the words that came from what seemed to be the attacker's voice. The name that came from his lips, what seemed to be directed at Ayl... he called him the "Grim Reaper."<br/><br/>This spurred the cloaked woman from her idle state, as she began to press on to the hideout. Tiresias could describe what was actually transpiring, as light can actually enter his eyes... or whatever he uses to see out of. She hoped Ayl's words stayed true, that he really was on their side. Maybe she could still help the ones whose cries she had heard earlier. It took her quite some time to reach the hideout, due to her impairment. Another horrified scream resounded through the empty skies, which forced her to increase her pace. She eventually arrived despite her disability, but by the time she was there...<br/><br/>The battle was already won. Her invisible companion mentioned that a sea of black rose into the air, and all that remained as a large imposing blob and a huddled mass of blobs, along with a red blob somewhere in the background. Obviously, the information wasn't too useful, but it seemed like the other hunters were mostly unharmed considering their numbers. She didn't wish to approach them, considering that her appearance would once again be out of nowhere. A fight just occurred, everyone would be on edge. Maybe, she didn't wish to face the true "Ayl" yet. Either way, she remained apart of the background, hidden as much as possible until something significant happened.
