Gritting his teeth at the comments made Akribos looked at the small man who damn near fell over from his pat on his shoulder. He laughed at the sight before he lowered his hand from the elf containing he want to laugh again, the elf would be shockingly surprised how much he could endure, but he knew this mission was observation only for now. That is when he felt the power of the node again this time without the dilution of the elf, it was power he could only compare to the titans, and even then it was not near the low. This Angnhil being, it was far beyond anything he had known, and he was far too old to believe what he currently felt, though something was distorting the full power of the animal below, Akribos inwardly shook. The being would not serve anyone, the Sarien's were wrong, and this time the Olympians were right, kill it before it gets loose. Thought Turael rarely was considered a fool, she would not send him here unless this being could be contained or controlled in some way. The distortion he still felt he noticed was the cat-o-nines under his shield leather cover.<br/><br/>Though the gift was not enough, since most Olympians would never be able to sense a gift from the Sariens, the were far to paranoid for that. The ones he felt this time were of the three in front of him. They were there, but not. The elf he could sense a bow, Athena was known for that, no doubt the thing would never miss, but he doubted that it was an easy tool to use. The Olympians always had a catch to everything. The other one, Zedd as he called himself, carried what seemed to be nothing, but the gift was there, since Artemis' stench laid all over the small man, it was obvious that the gift was internal. The goddess was always the hunter, watching the battlefield for a day before using it. Although Akribos still could not place it, it bugged him. Though the Dyrad was obvious, her food. Some kind of fruit amongst her belongings, since the wife of Hades always did enjoy bringing life to his underworld of the dead, it was something powerful, she would be a healer of sorts no doubt. Though the way the Elf and the smaller human moved towards her and smelled, they hoped she would serve ALL of their aches. It was humorous to see the two move from him and towards the food.<br/><br/>As the small man dove into his food Akribos cursed under his breath in a language long forgotten by the mortals of this world. Looking at the others he noticed the Dyrad look his way for a moment, her curiosity soaking about her mind.  Nodding to her he stepped forward and stopped just between Feldor and Zedd, his large body casting a shadow over the group. "I am not exactly sure of why we were all gathered here m'lady, but I assure you the last time I was revived......well let us put it this way they didn't exactly do it to babysit a clearing in the woods. So how about we all assume that this place will soon be red with alot of our blood, and others." Looking to the right and left scanning the edge of the clearing Akribos nodded and sighed walking over and grabbing his spear again. Standing for a moment he looked down at the elf to speak to him again after he noted his comments towards Akribos. "Well Elf, I would love to taste the foul ash taste in my mouth again, but I will pass. Food falls to ash, water to acid with those of us around long past our time. Thanks anyways but it would only irritate me. You kiddos enjoy your dinner, the night is coming, might want to start building up some defense around these woods. Trees the size of mountain would serve a good purpose when it comes to keeping those who could harm...our mission."<br/><br/>Walking from the group and standing a few feet from them with his back to them, his ruck sack on his back still the thing looked small on him, but none the less it mostly contained in their eyes the last of what he owned, if they only knew. Akribos smirked as he scanned the clearings edge, reaching out for another Sarien, not being so obvious as to use his powers to reach them and contact them, that would just tip the others, rather he just sent out a feeler or two seeing if any of the Sariens stink was out there. "Got any ideas there Elf? You obviously have been here the longest, I can smell you from the clearing to the creek. So why don't you tell us, anywhere to put our backs against rather than each other?" The whole time Akribos stared away from them as he spoke.
