Having no clue when the next wave would start Grimsy walked around the base, looking around if she could help with anything since she needed to build up some trust with the people. Her crimson red eyes were always considered a curse. This is why everyone always stayed away from her, some even have tried to kill her because of that. Little did they know these "cursed eyes" possessed a potent ability of creating illusions which has kept her safe so far.

She found her way into the tent where they kept the wounded, there she assisted the healers to cure some of the wounded. i really should be training to make something out of myself... at this rate i wont survive another wave of attacks she thought as she assisted a healer to lessen a pain of a critically injured soldier.i guess best way to gain trust would be training to be a healer....but i dont think i have what it takes.. she continued thinking as she looked sad for a moment.

Orphen saw the arrows for a brief moment, then skidded to a stop, letting the arrows fly past him, then started running again. He continued to stop and start until he reached the next catapult, then repeated the last process he did on the last one. This time, he didn't stop after breaking the beams and continued to run to the next catapult.

At the last catapult he decided to be somewhat more childish. He broke the beams like before, but instead of the catapult hitting the ground, he pushed it up with his hind legs while pushing againt the ground. The force of the catapult sent it up in the air, letting it flip before hitting the ground completely demolished. "Take that Underverse!!" he yelled before running off into the woods with a wide grin on his face.
"From suffering I was born, From misery I was conceived. From the plight of Mortals I thrive, From the pits of Hell I rise, beware...... For I live.........."

"Wait, you're here for my shiny loot? I thought you were here to avenge the cattle and people I've slaughtered..."

"I may not always be a caring person, but even when I am furious, it is mostly at myself for becoming this way"

Feeling quite at odds with the worlds, really truly so, Effie leaped deftly down from the tree, landing next to one of her oldest and dearest Scribe members. Uryuyu. She was about ninety years of age, a silver wolf with hair gradually turning white and a smile that could melt any heart. "Feeling better?" Uryuyu asked.

"Not really," Effie grumbled, and sat next to her on the blanket.

Giving her a sympathetic smile, Uryuyu continued to brush out her ancient hair. In her lap rested a spell book flipped open to a page on disarment. At their feet the fire crackled with a pink-orange intensity. "It'll be alright. You'll see."

"Oh, but these Underlings, and the Light Verse...its like our Verse has been ripped apart at the seams, inviting in a whirlwind of violence."

"Things like this happen. They have to. If you never know war, then you never know peace, am I right?"

Effie nodded, then glanced around at her gaggle of Scribe females. Across the other side of the fire were the younger girls, the youngest of all being Sarah, who was twelve. To either side were the adults, most of which shared the same solemn attitude Effie possesed. Effie a-hemed. The marks on her nose went orange, meaning she was serious. "As you all know, we recently lost one of our own to this war." Everyone murmured in saddened agreement. "She was young. Had barely set foot into life. Barbarians killed her in cold blood, not even letting her finish speaking. And it has hurt us as a whole. It has shown us the 'real world' of battle......" Her eyes narrowed at them. "This is why I have come to the descision that we start practicing the Spells of the Oracles."

That certainly went over like a ton of bricks.

Tyran's eyebrow twitched as he rubbed his temple..

"I hate that guy.... whoever he is..." he mumbled to himself before he summoned his bodyguard Zedonious to his side.

"Yea boss?"
"Take command while i'm gone... i need to light a camp fire."
Zedonious looked confused then quickly saluted
" YES SIR!" he yelled

Tyran marched off to the edge of the woods, his sapphire eyes twinkling in the sunlight, causing people to be blinded. Mumbling a few words of the arcane, a small wisp of fire appeared on his right index finger. Chanting more words and the fire got bigger and bigger, to the size of a Ms. Piggy Ball. Hurling the ball at the woods he set it aflame. Just standing there, he let the light shine off his armor.
Making him look like a demon out of your own nightmares.

"Never hide in the woods.... Unknown Troublemaker..."

(why the crap is one soldier growing grass through himself?)

Lok had followed the armored being into the forest. There he was casting a spell that was horrifying, but not more so than the insane spirits Lok worshiped. He stayed in the tree, his own smaller totem spirits, who looked like little blotches of ink scrawled into the air, floated around him, whispering ideas into his head. Lok knew that the General would notice him soon, or sense the under spirits.
He decided to be patient. He had found a pack of guards who had taken the prisoner back to the base camp.
He was in no hurry.

Orphen had got deep into the woods, and then heard words bieng spoken by someone he was slowly starting to be familiar with. Realization appeared in his eyes and his grin got wider as he got over to her area, and saw a group of females that set up camp there. His eyes scanned for a certain woman, and spotted her as the speaker. He stayed stealthy until he got to her side of the camp, then sneaked up on her he shouted "'Big Sis' Effie!!" as he wrapped his arms around her waist and shook her from side to side. His sudden 'appearance' spooked the other grils, and his eye only made the situation worse. One girl threw a rock at him, and the rest made movements to tackle him off, but Orphen tightened his leg muscles and leaped up onto a tree branch. "No, this is my Big Sis, no throwing rocks!!" he yelled in an unusually childish voice, while holding Effie like a bride carried by her groom. Although, Orphen had no such thoughts, as Effie was the closest thing he could have to a sister.

Zenith couldn't help but take advantage of the scared soldiers surrounding him.  He quickly jumped over their ranks to approach the next catapult, but as he did he saw a heavily armored man talk to what was his obvious subordinate, and then begin to walk away.  Zenith couldn't help but be suspicious, so he abandoned his previous target, and rushed back as quickly as possible to the forest, trying to find Orphen, wherever he had gone.
"ORPHEN!!" he yelled as he entered the woods, his light green eyes flickering everywhere.
The kind of people who take the lead, are the ones who die most famously.
Those who follow, die in peace.
Which one would you prefer?

"Orph-" Effie started to say, before she was so quickly picked up and taken up into a tree, her hair and tail flapping in the resultant breeze. Blushing, she made sure her sarong was straight and even. She looked up, directly at Orphen's face, eyes narrowed, ears back, a gravely snarl forming in the base of her throat.............and then she stuck her tounge out at him and smiled widely. The marks on her nose went an instant green, green for joy. "What the heck do you think you're doing?" she demanded jokingly. "That is no way to treat a lady, now put me down this instant or I'll have to put a spell on you..."

"Throwing rocks is worse, but your friends don't seem to mind having you in the way." Orphen replied before jumping down and standing her back up. By this time some of them had gotten weapons and threw up barriers, thinking that Orphen's eye was some form of demonic curse. "Something is clearly wrong with this... why are you associated with this thing?!" such a reply came from one of her followers, and Orphen wasn't even phased, even though he did not appreciate the insult in the slightest.

Grimsy was for the first time making a good use of her power as she calmed down the patient the healers were healing using illusions. She was enjoying the work so far, being able to be finally some use to people. She got some praise from one of the healers and she responded to this: "If you need my help, just look me up, i'd be glad to help."

She leaves the medic tent, having no clue where to go next. To see if there is a new general perhaps? or to seek out the commander himself and ask him for training.

Effie looked around at her followers with utter disdain. They were acting insanely unusual, and most definatley acting against the ways of The Peaceable Scribes. "Stop!" she growled. "What did Orphen do to you? And where, might I ask, in my teachings, have I ever said that it's okay to react first thing by running for your weapons? You don't know why he's here. Likely you don't even know who he is. There's no reason for this. And, to you..." she looked then at the woman who had spoken up. "He's not a 'thing.' He's my brother in heart. You understand that?" Effie put all of her gathered effort into a serious stare....she meant what she said.

"Its useless to reason with them sis.... my eye threw me into the ranks of the stealth fighters..." he brought his voice to a whisper as he continued on. "But watch what happens if I look at one of them long enough..." Orphen startes directly at the possible 'leader' of the quickly formed mob, and a blush crosses her face as she tries to avert her eyes. She mumbles a few words, and the rest have brief moments of disbelief before disbanding and sitting down. He looked back at Effie, his eye calming her down slowly even though it seemed unnervingly unnatural. "Don't worry sis. I won't do that to you, well... unless you request it..." he said with a calm smile as he sat on all fours next to her.

Zenith stumbled in through some bushes, holding a fruit in his hand.  "Orphen, we may have a serious problem.  I just saw a heavily armored Underling start walking to the forest right now!  And believe me, he didn't look happy!" Zenith said in an excited tone as he ate his fruit.  Afterwards he looked around and realized that these were the Peaceable Scribes. "Oh by the way, I think I finally got my own ability.  I've no idea how to control it though, but i guess there's always room to learn."

"Thank you...for that," Effie said, both reffering to his calming her squad down, and to his promise. She sat next to him, curling up, enjoying the tingling, warm feeling of the fire that was so close by.

She heard Zenith coming before he even arrived and turned to face him as he stumbled onto the campsite. "Welcome," she said, smiling.
