Keeping close to her sister Anastasia as they traveled, the pair of fairies stuck out like a sour thumb amidst the group of mostly, monstrous mercenaries. Their iridescent wings sparkling in unison under the kiss of sunlight, gently shifting and fluttering every so often upon their back, adding to their majesty, this was only compounded by the way their bodies seem to almost glow with radiant beauty,and shimmering energy. Truly they where out of place in both this society and the band of mercenaries alike. Alura in particular stood out even above her sister, as her stunning physique is adorned in a most illustrious outfit. Though they both wore clothing made entirely of living plants, the one Alura wore was made extra special by her sister, containing a flare and elegance fit for a princess, and perhaps rightly so as Alura was the eldest surviving member of the Verdant Dawn Clan. Perhaps it was not the most practical attire given her position, but Anastasia took great pride in making her sibling look her very best. The way the green leaves form to Alura's shapely figure, cusp just perfectly over each of her ample breasts, exposing just enough cleavage to leave one wanting more. The cute little dress extending just enough to reach her upper thighs, while forming too, and revealing the lowermost curve of her shapely rear.  Even the shoes she wore where special, masking the sound of her footsteps as she strides through the grass, protecting and complementing her pretty little feat, whose toes where all graciously exposed, oh so perfectly. Why even the flowers she wears in her pink flowing hair are at the pinnacle of bloom, vivid and lively as they gently bounce against the very tips of her pointed ears with each and ever step she takes.<br/><br/>The life of a mercenary was not one she would have chosen for her sister, though given how little she'd known of society when fleeing the forest it was an easy niche to fall into. One that provided everything she and her sister needed, protection being the most important for many where the stomachs that rumbled at the sight of them, the thought of taking advantage of, overpowering and consuming such a cute and innocent pair of girls all alone in an unforgiving world, was too hard to pass up. Many had tried, and during one such encounter, after Alura had surprised the would be predator with a quick introduction to the business end of her pistol, she'd been approached and asked if she would be interested in joining. Tired of always having to watch her back everywhere they went she agreed, and the pair have been traveling with them ever since.In addition to the protection being with such a group offered, the pay wasn't half bad either, and perhaps someday she'd be able to afford a place of her own, a place where she and her sister can rebuild their clan.....though perhaps that was only a childish dream....   She'd learned a lot while traveling with the various races and skill sets housed in the group, and some of the members she'd even go as far as to call friends. Of course Alura still had a lot to learn, and she doesn't always agree with everything they do, While considering some friends, others she doesn't trust as far as she can throw them, especially when it comes to matters of Anastasia. But this was her life now, long departed from the once peaceful days in the forest. Her natural talent for the arcane, and her skill and understanding of all things firearms, being a valuable asset to the group as a whole.<br/><br/>On this particular mission, for much of the trek she chooses to fly a couple of inches off the ground, rather than tire her legs out needlessly walking like the rest of the group is forced too. There was no sense expending unnecessary energy after all, and she certainly didn't want to be all hot and sweaty before they even arrived.  It is then as they arrive and Naji is going over what she sees through the looking glass that Alura silently flutters over to her side. "Only four, that doesn't sound so bad." she says while squinting her sky blue eyes to make out the figures down by the farmhouse. Flowers rustle in her hair as she turns to look in Anastasia's direction, she nodding as the younger fairy raises her hand, nodding to her, silently encouraging her to speak up. "They very well could be, and from what i can see, some of them look quite nice. If we can deal with them in a peaceful manner I am all for it. Better to make nice and conserve our resources, than to make unnecessary enemies." she agrees, shooting a warm smile to her sister before turning her gaze back on the opposition.<br/><br/>Gently landing in the grass, she pulls the large rifle from her back. a finely crafted firearm if there ever was one, it's long double barrels etched with sylvan writing, the name of her mother adorning each one, which where both immaculately polished and well kept. Even the wood stock is done with a certain flare that just oozed fey and fairy. Flowers blooming from the living wood, a look hardly telling of the destructive capability housed in each chamber. The rifle she wore slung over her shoulder, while a twin pair of pistols rest in cute little leafy holsters on her shapely hips. They adorned with just as many floral embellishments, looking more like decorations to her outfit than actual weapons of volatile destruction. "Course if things go south, I've always got Rin to keep us safe." she declares, being known to refer to each of her firearms as an aspect of her departed mother.<br/><br/>Anya's comment would have Alura further weighing in.. "Course we could always scout out the area a bit more before going in. My sister and I are pretty good at sneaking about, especially when it comes to forests,  not sure about the rest of you." she offers, content that she'd given all the input she could at the moment. Casting a quick incantation on herself, that would have the leaves of her clothing shimmer with power and protection, before falling silent to occupy herself with polishing her gun.<br/><br/><br/><br/>[[ casting mage armor on herself so i don't forget it later :3<br/><br/>Prepared spells for the day!<br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">lvl 1:<br/>Reduce Person<br/>Mage Armor ((used ))<br/>Alarm<br/>Jurry Rig<br/>Vanish<br/><br/>Lvl 2:<br/>Molten Orb<br/>Glitter Dust<br/>Glitter Dust</div></div></div>
