"Bae's gonna kill me." He said with a smile. He pressed his lips firmyl agains Chyenne and scooped her up, limping slowly, and quite happily, into the house, shortly after a stream of worries flowing freely from Bae'fryn's mouth.

Riki nodded. "Vincent...can you get us from here to the house?"
"Yes Master Rikimaru." He said with a bow as he summoned the dark energies to create a portal to the house.
"Good...I'm hungry." Ihyo said as he held his stomach.
"Yer always hungry lad." Khorg muttered as he waddled through the gate.
Rikimaru said laughed as he jogged in, Ihyo on his heels. "But I am..."

The elf cringed a little when he saw the portal... He didn't have a rather large liking for magic, or being exposed to it.. despite the fact he ran a magic arms and equipment store... He walked slowly to the portal, peering into it. He could see the tavern, and the people materializing on the other end of it... First he stuck the tip of his sword through, looking at it.. no damage. He touched a toe through, then his hand, when suddenly he was violently jerked by his hand through the darn thing. It was either the jaunt of the portal's power, or someone on the other side who got tired of his antics and yanked him through.

Khorg shook his head. "Don't be such a worm lad. It's plenty safe." The dwarf said as he turned and waddled into the house

Raiku had followed after the ents, destroying as many as he could find with Erobos. As the others walked off, the constant roar of the dragon echoed throughout the forest, as the flashes of light from Raiku's magic filled the sky like a lighting storm.

Zephyr leered at the dwarf, brushing his jacket off... "I just don't like magic is all..." he mumbled, walking into the tavern again.

Dark's head came up with worry as everyone came in looking tired and worn. She had not had the heart to ask Tesshu and Chyenne what had happened. "What on earth happened? Why is everyone so scarred?" Dark, always the mother, got up and immediately started to check everyone for major wounds, babying them with her words the entire time.

Riki limped slightly through the gate, Vincent sealing it behind them as they escorted everyone through. He shook his head as he took his wife by the hand, dragging her away. "They're not boys love...they can tend." He said as he explained everything, as best as he could read from Tesshu, to her in a soft quiet voice.
"What perplexes me..." Vincent said as he paced amidst the group of fighters. "Such a mass of Ents...and not one of us sensed it. Why would they line the woods like that? Almost as if there was another plan. Chyenne may very well have saved us from a horrible disaster."
Khorg stroked his beard and nodded. "Aye lad...I was thinkin' along tha' same lines. Looked like they would try to overwhelm us with numbers!" The dwarven warrior shook his head. "We may be lucky now...but we couldn't sense them then, we won't sense them again. But we know why." Khorg said slowly, his normal jocular mood gone.
"Yes.." Vincent said with a sigh. "Though I wish it weren't so. This are most displeasing in that situation. The Shadowkind were far from beings I wished to see again in this life."
Khorg nodded as he hoisted himself from the ground by his axe. "But that's anotha' day. For now I'm gonnah get some rest. You all should too." He said as he wadled into the home.

"Are ents a danger?" Zephyr asked, relieved that his phobia of magic was no longer the topic. He knew little about nature and natural creatures. They weren't as interesting as the abberations and magical monsters of the world.

Vincent shook his head. "Normal Ents, no. But these...distortions..." He paced slowly as he tapped a long finger against his chin. "...They're very souls seemed corrupted by something darker than I've ever felt before."
Khorg shrugged. "Why don't we asked Djinn? He's good with tha' darkness and such nonsense."
Vincent nodded quickly in agreement. "Quick thinking Dwarf. Let's seek his counsel." He said as he caught the handle of Khor'g axe, dragging the plump dwarf inside.

"Do we have to..? That guy creeps me out..." complained the elf, uncapping a canteen of his, a sweet smelling aroma coming from the wine inside.

Vincent nodded. "Unless you know of one more in touch with darkness than even he, yes we have to." The vampire said with a shrug. "And though I agree, he hasn't done anything to earn such distaste in your eyes. Aside from being different."

"Doesn't make him any less creepy..." Zephyr muttered under his breath, taking a swig of the canteen he opened, then recapping it and putting it away. He moved over to a wall and sat with his back against it on the floor, patiently.

Dark made a pouty face at her husband after all of the explanation was done. "An you won't let me help them feel better... after all of that fighting?" She suddenly gets a thought, and a smile creeps across her face. "Or would you rather all my attention were focused on helping YOU feel better?"

Riki blinked, a sparkle in shi eye as he grinned. "The first one. But the latter one I like more." He said as he kissed her, vanishing in a burst of smoke.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Djinn sat in his room, candles lit about it. "Greetings my comrades. What brings you to me this evening?"
"I need to know more about the Darkness in the heart of the woods." Vincent said in a quiet voice as he knelt on the floor.
"Mmmm...the heart of shadow penetrating nature itself. What would bring such darkness?" Djinn's well known smile crept wide in the darkness. "A force of darkness like no other darkness."

"Oh for gracious sakes, get on with it, you creepy man." Obviously, Shivelle was not in a happy mood. "We just wanna know what is going on." She leans up against the doorframe, waiting.
