Kin Chronicles Realm: Betrayal of the Guardians

[White Wolf Guardian]

*White looked fairly unemotionally towards the funeral and felt bad for doing so* "I didn't really ever know her... but I appreciate this diamond she gave me. Though the sentimentality is neither here nor there, I think it's because of all that has been going on it's kind of hard to have feelings for even the strongest of our allies falling to the dark forces." *The wolf remained silent and looked upon his comrades, trying to stay with the dreary mood*

Talin sat and listened to Korius' farewell to Soria, then pulled out Elistra's wedding gauntlet as Korius went into the grave. He inspected the damage done on the gauntlet, and made an estimate of how much it would take to restore the memento, hiding it away as Korius returned to ground level and collapsed the grave. "So, do we need to break for extra training... or just enough for White to be able to walk again?"

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Korius was sullen for a minute before responding to Talin. "We'll rest for tonight and leave in the morning. We're just on time for moving forward. Soria has given us a time restraint, and it seems that Kyzen's not waiting much longer, either. He's planning something very big, and we don't have much time left." He left first, setting up a room within the Inn at the town within the outer wall. The whole town was still deserted, and it seemed quite desolate since the breeze that he had felt earlier when he was atop the wall wasn't reaching them nor making a sound due to the height and size of the outer wall.

[White Wolf Guardian]

*White watched Talin and Korius speak of him for a moment, then Korius moved off into the distance* "He's probably going to that town that hasn't been destroyed.... yet. Ohh maybe we're going to get to sleep in real beds tonight." *The blood rushing around his body for his moment of excitement left him in pain soon and he stopped short of getting his hopes up more* "I guess I should try to dull the pain by being depressed or something, that should work... but first I have to stop getting excited about getting depressed to fix it... a vicious cycle."

Talin followed Korius, stopping at various buildings to check for anything that could substitute for the needles in his leg pouch. He found some splinters from the explosion, but their crude shape would make it less than useful for anything beyond the small dark magic he could safely discharge. He then realized his own appraisal of the needles, and shuddered at the thought of how at peace he was with Chronin's magic. I still can't control a third of his power, and I'm already thinking of using what I naturally give off. Elistra was right, I can be really hard-headed...

Drevo was stuck with carrying White as he followed along with Korius, though much behind him. When they got to the town he noticed it was pretty void of life. When he got to a room he set White down on the bed. "You need to lose some weight..." he said, leaning back to stretch his back. He was teasing him, but it might have been hard to tell.

[KittKat chunky~]

Kitt followed along with the rest of the group, Evellyn returned gratefully to his arm from where she watched everyone with a beady golden eye. Kitt shot several glances across at Kiana as they walked, wanting to help but knowing that she preferred not to allow help from others.


What he did notice as they walked however was the way Kiana held a hand tight to her side as she walked. Kitt frowned slightly, watching closely, then turned his thoughts away to that of a proper Inn bed and food.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Korius searched throughout the entire inn, and barely found any food, and of course absolutely no money. It took a while, but he managed to at least make enough hobo stew to last them all through the night and even for breakfast. Korius brought the large, 1.5-meter pot and placed it on the largest table. He also put down several bowls that he was able to find and wash and wasn't too chipped to spill. "This was all I was able to find throughout town." Korius took the first bowl and filled it before handing over to Kiana, and then to the others. His eyes were particularly filled with sorrow for a split second when he handed Kiana her's before getting himself composed.

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

Kiana finally deemed it necessary to force herself up off the ground when everyone was walking off back toward the town. She unconsciously held her side as she walked back with the others and was concentrating too much on moving her feet to see that Kitt had noticed her holding her side. Once she was inside the inn and Korius had brought out the large pot and placed it on the table, she stood by and waited for her portion. When she was given her bowl of stew, she looked up at his face and caught the sorrow in his eyes before his expression went back to normal. She looked away as if she was embarrassed or ashamed or something. She moved off and found a seat, setting her bowl down on the table before sitting down. As she sat down, she gasped slightly then gritted her teeth as she sat there for a minute. Once she had dealt with the pan, she blew on her stew then started to eat it.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Talin made his way through the village, following the scent of stew towards the inn. His mouth began to drool, while his stomach made note of his own starvation. He waited in anticipation for Korius to finish filling the bowls, cutting ahead of the other three members of their party in order to get a bowl and immediately start eating while ignoring the initial burn of the hot stew.

[Srgntcuddles]

After setting White down on his bed Drevo decided to head downstairs since White didn't respond to his joke. He assumed he was just a little irritable from the pain and wasn't in the mood for a joke. He walked around a bit, up until the stew was made up and being passed out. He grabbed his and took a seat at a table in the corner alone. He put his feet up on the table and leaned back in the chair to wait for his food to cool a bit.

[KittKat chunky~]

Kitt waited silently, making no fuss over being last in line to get the stew. He stood gently stroking the soft plumage of Evellyn with one gloved finger until he finally got his bowl and sat down on his own at another of the tables.


Once the stew had cooled and he had started to eat, Evellyn opened one beady eye and gave a click of her beak. She repeated the gesture again, moving closer to the steaming stew until Kitt finally dropped his spoon down with a sigh. "Fine... Fine, here you go then..." He picked out the few strips of meat and held them out for the bird to snap up hungrily.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Korius ate his meal apart from the others, still lost in meditation and thought as he ate. His attitude was nothing like what anyone's ever seen. He was neither violent, irritated, nor even bossy. Instead, Korius was just quiet, sullen and only partially detached. When he finished, he put down the old bowl and looked at Drevo, "White's majicka level is still dangerously low. Bring him up to get more rest when you're done. I'm going to head out for a bit.

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

As Kiana sat there eating her stew, she thought she saw something across the table from her and shook her head slightly. She could swear she was seeing a transparent Kamau sitting in the seat across from her. "You're going to have to tell them you're hurt, Kiana." Kamau said, his mouth moving but the words only sounding in her head. "Why? It's not like they can do anything about the injury anyway." She said out loud to Kamau, forgetting the fact that the others were around and would be able to hear her. "They could bandage it at least." He said, sounding a little frustrated. "I could bandage it myself. I don't need their help." She responded, sounding stubborn but a little twinge of being unsure. "Just like I didn't need your help?" He questioned and then disappeared. Kiana was left with a wide-eyed expression of shock and disbelief from what her brother said to her, leaving her speechless.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono stopped eating his stew and looked at Kiana, then at his hands. He was tempted to offer his help, then remembered his healing magic was less than spectacular due to his lack of ability to put out more than just an aura of said magic that only went out as far as a centimeter. "Kiana, do you think White could teach me to heal others?"
