He rubbed his face unaware that the wolf was asking questions, he stood up as he began walking off a little further from the fire. It was than he noticed the ground part as hands surface from the ground her stood, the one thing he hated most about the world of Forelock the undead ran rapid. He rolled his eyes, how I hate Forelock He unsheathed his swords exposing its oddly shaped; the blade was two blades that swirled into a point, on its hilt a large red stone, he witnessed the undead now surface and just as quickly he swung his blade dicing the skull that wobbled as it neared them. He backed up avoiding the blood from touching his clothing, "...you undead folk disgust me" he grimaced as the dead began to approach him he began to run back towards Lilith who was also surrounded by the dead "we got to hurry and get out of here, it seems that we're not welcomed here by the dead" he called out to her.

Lilith snapped and snarled at the undead around her. She had heard stories of the undead, but she had never ventured far enough to witness it first-hand. She raised her head to the sky and let out a loud howl, to which several howls seemed to echo in response. The howling got closer as wolves began to surround the undead. As the wolves approached, however, Lilith noticed that their coats were matted and dirty, patches of fur were missing to expose rotting flesh beneath. Instantly regretting her call for help, Lilith shoved Mathius onto her back and darted passed the shambling corpses, and was followed by the sounds of undead wolves fighting undead corpses. She felt slightly relieved, but didn't stop as she wanted to put as much distance between them and the undead forest as possible.

She caught him off guard but as she charged onward he noticed a light at the end of the forest...the sun was rising and that only meant that at the end of the forest the port town of Siantao was only a matters away. He looked over his shoulder as a small horde followed on, and held on to her further slightly tighter. Nothing he hated more was the decaying flesh on a rotting corpse. "Thanks" he thanked the wolf relieved he was finally out of the evil at least temporarily.

Don't thank me yet. Lilith thought as she noticed the light ahead of them slowly darken. The undead blocked their path, and Lilith growled as she came to a halt just a few feet from them. With a howl, she slowly returned to her human form and stood beside Mathius. Fire would easily take care of this horde of undead, but it would signal to the one looking for her where she is. She had no choice, she closed her eyes and began to concentrate. Before Lilith could do anything, a sudden war-like cry echoed all around, and a woman with long silvery white hair jumped down from a tree swinging a halberd. She fought off the creatures and cleared a path. Glancing over her shoulder, she shouted to the duo. "Go, NOW!" Not needing to be told twice, Lilith darted passed the woman, dragging Mathius with her. "Keep running!" she heard from behind her, until she heard the woman cry out. She turned to see an undead gnawing on their saviour's shoulder, and Lilith instinctively shot a ball of flame at it. It let out a screech and toppled back. The woman fought off the ones around her and jumped back up into the trees, her voice echoing around them. "I said to keep running!"

The voice echoed and Mathius took more momentum until eventually he was ahead and took her arm and began to drag Lilith to run along side wit him. "We need to hurry the port town isn't far from here" *** The town was calm, poverty surfaced and the boats by the docks rocked from the gentle wave. He eventually let go of Lilith's hand his eyes shifting to the woman as he now stood by her side his finger pointing to the large boat "there's my ship. Well not mine a few of my friends are helping me out with this expedition they'll be more than willing to help out"

Lilith looked up at the ship and felt her gut clench; she wasn't fond of traveling by sea. But at this point, she'd accept any means of escape from Forelock. She looked over at Mathius and gestured for him to lead the way, then glanced over her shoulder to see the woman with long silvery hair walking towards the pier with her halberd on her shoulder. The woman's eyes were closed, but something about her countenance made Lilith examine her for a moment; she looked oddly familiar.
As though sensing a gaze upon her, Kairi opened her eyes to see the woman from earlier watching her as she approached. And somehow knew why the woman was watching her. Kairi's brow furrowed as she too tried to think of why she might feel as though she knew this stranger. It wasn't until that she was a feet away that she recognized the violet gaze. Her eyes widened in surprise. "Lil?"
Lilith blinked at the woman, then glanced around. "Who are you?" she demanded, when the woman suddenly rushed over to her and pulled her in an embrace. "Lil!! I thought you were dead! No one's seen you in so long!" Lilith was confused by the joy and relief on the stranger's face, but even more so by the fact that she welcomed the hug. The woman blinked at her. "Lil, it's Ri. Kairi? Remember me?" Slowly, memories of a small girl with fangs and silver hair danced into the corners of her memory, and her eyes lit up slowly. "Kairi! I've heard the same of you. I heard that D--Well, that you were not longer among the living." Lilith now examined her old friend, and Kairi grinned to expose fangs. "Nah." she said "I'm still half alive." Her grin never faded as her eyes shifted to Mathius. She felt her cheeks redden slightly at her own rudeness. "Forgive me! I didn't mean to be so rude! I'm Kairi. I mean no harm, I swear."

Mathius watched the two convers and as Kairi introduced herself, she nodded in acceptance "Mathius" he bowed gently, "I'm sorry for ending this small reunion Lilith but I believe we need to hurry on ahead, its not safe for any of us to stay here and talk away" he hushed towards Lilith, a small worry buried itself in his gut. He didn't trust many people at this time, and it was a realistic way of viewing this considering. the adventure they went through prior to getting to Siantao. He glanced at Kairi again "...sorry we've kind of got a place to go, you know people to talk, adventures to be had and stuff like that" he smirked trying to expose of the distress they're currently enduring. If the people Lilith was running from were as bad as she made them out to be it wasn't time to stand around and converse.

Something in Mathius' tone caused Kairi's gaze to harden. "Did--" She didn't have a chance to ask, Lilith's curt nod answered for her, and Kairi's face paled in response. "Shit, then I need to get out of here. I'll see you around Lil." Kairi started to turn, but Lilith grabbed her shoulder. "Nonsense, we're running from the same people. Perhaps," she now turned to Mathius. "she can come with us? I know Kairi to be a skilled fighter, and her abilities could help you on your quest. Did you not say that you were searching for worthy allies?" Kairi raised her hands and shook her head. "No, Lil, it's fine. I don't want to be a burden." She feigned a smile, but both her face and Lilith's paled at the same time. The sound of someone whistling a melodic tune danced on the light breeze, and the two women stared hard at one another. "Eli." they both hissed.

"Whatever lets go!" Mathius grabbed her hand again this time dragging both Kairi and Lilith his momentum picked up, and it was only a matter of time before they were now standing in front of a ship that had a bunch of men loading it. In front of it was a woman who had her arms crossed and watched the men load up. Her ocean blue eyes looked over her shoulder as she saw the three of them standing, and Mathius released her hand. "AZURE!" he called out to her both arms outstretched as he neared her with a wide smile across his face. The woman smiled as she neared him brushing a gloved hand through her long blonde hair, now adjusting her belt, exposing her bust as she did so. The woman was slightly taller than he was, her skin slightly tan "Relic Hunter, I was wondering when you'll be showing up" her voice carried a thick accent, she smiled widely as she looked over his shoulder to the two woman that stood behind him, "friends?" "yes this is uh--" he looked at Lilith realising it wasn't the brightest thing to expose these two's names, in fact considering they were on the run he'd hope they'd introduce themselves "friends" his smile was wide, slightly embarrassed at the fact that he couldn't properly answer her questions. She snickered, "friends? Now where's that gold you promised me Mathius Chambers" he looked to the side shuffling his hands through his pockets, "I swear I had it..." he continued...and than he realized...he left it back in Forelock. "...well about that"

Nodding to Azure, Lilith introduced herself as Lil, and gestured to Kairi who simply said "Kai." Then she produced the bag of coins that Mathius tried to give her earlier. "You may have this, I have no use for it." "If it isn't enough payment, I can cover what's missing." Kairi said as she dug a hand into a pouch tied at her hip.

"I like your friends already Mathius" with a smile she bounced the bag of coins in her hands as she walked away "we set sail in an hour wrap up whatever you have left Mat" She shouted, he shifted his attention to the two girls "...you heard her...and I gave you that coin Lil...you really didn't need to"

Lilith shrugged. "As I said before, I will not accept charity." Kairi grinned. "Typical Lil. She doesn't like to have valuables on her, makes her apprehensive. She fears someone might try and pick her pockets." With a roll of her eyes, Lilith started for the ship. "I have no further business here. I will wait on the ship." Kairi watched Lilith for a moment then glanced back at Mathius. "Adventure ahoy!" She cried, then rushed after Lilith to throw an arm around her shoulder and laugh. Lilith glanced back at Mathius, a light in her eyes. "Are you coming?"

"Your charity is unnecessary Mathius" her words flowed like honey, as the red headed woman smiled at the man who offered her his hand, she held a spear in her hand firmly and with a stern look she smiled, walking passed him ignoring his hand as she allowed her cape to drag on the ground. This memory struck a cord and he couldn't help but watch Lilith walk on, with a nod he began to follow her closely behind. His hand brushing against his eye as he shook the ghost pain off, this was the beginning of an adventure that would answer all the mysteries of their pass. He smiled allowing his hair to fall over his shoulders as he pondered the route they were going, he knew he needed to find a safe place for his two new companions, but with Lilith offering Kaira into this adventure he knew it was what exactly he wanted. **** "This is Captain Azure Lupis Lavonn The Third, and her two mates Hush and Buckles" Hush was a tall man who wore a mask, he wore a shirt, and torn shirts in his hand he dragged a large sword, the other one was a scrawny man who's hair was long enough to hide his eyes, the woman on the other hand was one of the busty sorts whom barely wore clothing perhaps due to the heat of the oceans, her hair was long, blonde, and pushed back by a purple head band, and her pants carried various accessories along with a scimitar and blunderbust that hung loosely on the belt that held her pants up, her eyes were bright aquatic in color almost something out of this world, and skin was dark. "They've helped me for quite something, I feel like i'm indebted to them--""are" Azure interrupted, "the boy promised a fair share of gold he gets from the relics he find" she was speaking as though she was alot older than he was though the two of them seemed almost the same in age. "We have a deal...I'm not doing it because I'm indebt to you, I use your ship I pay my fee...""Speaking of which Nami's been hiding sense she found out you've found two new com-padres to join up, she's insulted you haven't asked her about it" Mathius's expression looked annoyed, "she'll get over it," he looked over his shoulders to the two girls "you can tour the place, any questions Azure's the captain, anything about the adventure you're curious about I'll be by the end of the ship" he walked away leaving the two girls, he seemed to be deep in thought.

Lilith nodded feebly at Mathius as he walked away. She tried her best to keep her face blank, as to avoid showing her great discomfort on the ship. Kairi, however, looked pleased as punch; a grin from ear to ear as she surveyed her surroundings. "This is a fantastic ship! I haven't seen many mind you, but it definitely is nicer than the one Lo--I mean, mine." She glanced over at Lilith, hoping she caught herself in time, but Lilith seemed too focused on something else to care. "Hey, are you alright?" Lilith glanced at Kairi, and nodded. "Yes." she answered shortly. "I just don't travel the sea very often. I prefer to keep my feet on solid ground." Kairi placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "I forgot about that. Guess your dad was wrong; you didn't grow out of it." A weak smile pulled at the corners of Lilith's mouth. "That's possibly the only thing he was wrong about." "Hey! I have an idea!! Why don't you change in to something and just sleep the whole time?" Kairi whispered, a little excited to have thought of such a good idea. Lilith didn't respond, she simply grabbed Kairi's hand and began to pull her towards what seemed like an empty spot on the ship away from everyone else. "Let us explore, as Mathius suggested." she said aloud as they walked away. They found an unattended cabin, and Kairi waited outside. She inhaled the salty sea air and felt her head clear. She loved the open sea. As Kairi enjoyed the air, a delicate looking black cat jumped on to her shoulder and curled itself around her neck, purring lightly. Kairi let out a laugh as the fur tickled her cheek. "A cat, huh? Alright then."

The tapping of footsteps were heard running down the deck and as it came closer to eye range the silvery fur of a cat woman could be seen. Her hair was long, black and tied back. As she got closer she saw the cat and looked up at the two new woman. "You must be the new recruit I figured considering the master didn't know how to introduce himself I'd do it for him..." her voice carried a purr between her words. She glanced at them "you don't seem like a big deal" She stood on one paw like foot crossing the other one behind it, all while she leaned semi back and crossed her arms as though observing the girl. ***** "Any trace of Nikki?" Azure questioned Mathius who was leaning over the railing, "nope its been almost 3 years now...and I'm not giving up..." She smiled at the man's determination. "You know, you'll have to give up eventually it comes a time when looking for more questions become exhausting""but they all have answers" he looked from the corner of his eye as he watched the captain. "I'm starting to grow confident with one the allies I'm collecting, I kmow this time I'll find the grimoire and during the process find Nikki, there's no way I'm ending my fun now"
