Trials of Khordom: The Beginning

[kivabunny]

she ruffled her wings a bit "can i fly now? your buildings have low ceilings"

[Cifero Windtail]

Jynx thought for a second. "Well, yeah.... but by yourself. Don't take Vi or Rachel or me or... um, the other guy with you..." He looked around. "I mean, you're not the only one with wings, but those without wings shouldn't be flying... people might get very suspicious." The crat looked at her seriously. "BAD people."

[kivabunny]

"ok!!" she leaped into the air and flapped, going into a dive and spiraling back down lazily, following them from above

[Aldrea945]

Rachel glided silently after them, the thermals helping her out.  She smirked.  "You sure they would this time?  I mean, I've seen your locker..." she said, laughing.  Really, she liked these people, but teasing was just too much fun.

The pavement was hot underfoot, the noon sun beating down on them.  Buildings, tall, thin, and rather ornate, sat so close it was hard to believe there was room to walk on the sidewalk.  People passed them, laughing and talking about any variety of topics in their little groups.

As they moved away from the school, flowers started to bloom in little sidewalk flower boxes.  Little shops, some goods shops, others more personal shops, emerged through the heat, and soldiers milled with the civilians.  The scents of baking bread wafted around them, sweet and delicious and mingling with the smell of blueberries in the market.  Doors sat open to allow people in and out, allowing even more scents and sounds to waft around them.  Bitter liquors from the brewery, sweet perfumes from the flower shop, sawdust from the woodshop...  Ahh, it was a shopper's dream and a wallet's nightmare.

"kiva went into a dive and wandered around, her nose in the air "hmmm that smells good"

[Cifero Windtail]

Jynx flew up next to her and looked over at her. "What smell do you mean? There are tons."

[kivabunny]

she wandered towards a shop, to be more exact a liquor store "that smell"

[Cifero Windtail]

Vi widened her eyes and quickly grabbed Aspen by the arm, dragging her towards her house. "Yeah... not that store," she said, struggling to bring Aspen towards her house.

[Jormungdang]

Suddenly, the door opened and a cowled figure exited the building. Noticing the two, his red eyes passed over both of them pausing momentarily when they reached they reached Aspen (he doesn't know her name yet, I just wrote it so you would know). "Interesting." he remarked, in a whisper so only they could hear. "Perhaps, you should rein her in before trouble starts, hmm." With that, he brushed past them and entered another street.

Aolith stood and walked a few feet away from Jynx, Vi and the rest. He still didn't remember them and it was starting to get to him. He watched as the cowled figure said a few things and left, his ears perked forward. 'Trouble?' He thought, narrowing his grey eyes. He followed the figure with his line of sight until he went down another way, turning back to the others. He would just remain silent for the time being, his head throbbing from his earlier encounter, only talking when talked to. His tail sways above the ground, the barbed wire just barely scraping over the surface, lost deep in thought.

(you don't have your power yet, you can't post... but I'll allow this)




Jynx followed the man's pattern as well. "What an odd man..." He turned to Vi. "So what did he say?"


The kangaroo stood there with a look of slight shock on her face. "I... I think he just threatened us..." She shivered and tugged on Aspen's arm. "Come on, guys... we should really get to my house before something else happens..."

[kivabunny]

"have you guys noticed something odd?" aspen asked as she watched the man walk away

[Cifero Windtail]

Jynx glanced over at Aspen. "Which one? I've noticed tons of oddities about this city."

[kivabunny]

"that man...he was a demon, there are three...in one day...usually the only times we are this abundant are the times you call "war"...possessed men making trouble...why can't i go in that store?"

[Kitane Blackfyre]

He tuned in for a moment and caught bits of what they were saying, especially what Aspen had said. "..War.." He says softly, just above a whisper. He jolts slightly, a sudden memory hitting him. "War." He repeats. "Inter-dimensional war." He says slightly louder, feeling his partially missing ear.
