Unaware of the eyes that watched them, Lexis only turned to answer Lilith's friendly gesture. "Just a local fisherman town, with a little bit of a twist. The place is run by monsters...mind you they're not all that bad. Friendly, but still an unusual place. It probably has the main necessities you probably need, I'm quite certain of it." She smirked, "...Treset is a place I'm rather familiar with..."

Shade slept while the girl's slept, keeping his energy up. In the morning, he left them to head into town while he hunted for some breakfast. He sniffed around until he picked up a familiar scent. Licking his lupine lips, he found it: a rabbit's den. A large mother rabbit and several babies. After satisfying his hunger, he bathed in a nearby river and dried himself in the sun before assuming his human form, pulling his clothes from the pack he carried on his back. Once dressed, he walked down the road towards the port town, following the scent of the girls. That beautiful, entrancing scent. He could never lose it and, soon, it would belong to him and him alone. He kept a fair distance from the girls. As a human, he would be more easily noticed. Until they were surrounded by the bustling crowds, he had to stay completely out of sight. But sight or not, he still had their scent. He needed nothing else to track them, and this way was much more enjoyable.

An eyebrow raised slightly, Lilith turned to her companion once more. "A twist?" she asked. "Well, as long as it has what I need, that's all that matters." As the village finally came into full view, Lilith realized that she felt unusually tense. This concerned her. She had never felt this before, she felt as though something wasn't right. Perhaps she felt exposed? She had become accustomed to travelling in the shadows, alone. So perhaps now that she had a travelling companion, and stuck to the roads and stopped at Inns, it was causing her to feel this new sense of exposure. As they walked, the storm from the previous day finally hit, full force. Thick, dark clouds rolled over and blanketed the world in sheets of rain. Thunder cracked loudly as lighting sliced through the sky, the wind howling like a pack of wild wolves. Lilith raised an arm against the wind and rain, but it was no use, she couldn't see anything beyond her elbow. "We need to find shelter and wait this out!" she called over the wind. She turned to see that her companion was no longer in sight. This storm was bad, and something told Lilith that is would only get worse. She reached out her staff towards where she hoped Lexis was. "Lexis, if you can hear me through this storm, reach for the red glowing orb! It's the tip of my staff! Lexis?"

The storm hit full force, Lexis covered her face as though shielding it from both rain, hail, and the heavy wind slapping her face. She was blinded and when Lilith called her out, she saw the glowing red flicker just a couple of steps ahead of her. She did as she was told grabbing the end of her staff as form of guidance to the small port town. Unfortunately, due to the savage storm that suddenly hit...it made things a lot more complicated to see. "I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING!" She tried calling out over the heavy blowing of the wind.

Shade was shocked by the storm, but the energy released by it made him tremble. The wind and rain, however, pelted him so hard that he almost grew concerned. This was no natural storm. He knew that much for sure, because he knew exactly what was happening in the world. The thought of this made him grin. His grin widened when he noticed the two girls struggling to simply find each other, let alone find shelter. His impulse kicked in and he ran towards them as fast as he could. He caught up to them and placed his hand on the mage's shoulder. The feeling he got from her was almost orgasmic, but he suppressed it with all his might. He spoke into her ear, almost yelling to be heard over the storm, and placed his hand next to hers. "Listen to me!! I know where there's shelter nearby. We need to get out of this storm before we're killed. Grab my hand if you understand!" He instructed her. He did his best to contain his excitement, but there was some truth to his words. None of them would survive in this storm, especially once the lightning started up.

Suddenly, the slight unease she had been feeling erupted within her, as a hand grasped her shoulder, and a faint voice rang in her ear. Knowing she didn't really have time to think it over, and therefore not much choice, she grabbed the hand. She didn't like the great sense of discomfort this stranger gave her, but she had to find any means to protect her and Lexis from harm; after all, she did promise to be Lexis' guardian. She pulled her staff to her, feeling until she felt Lexis' hand, then grabbed it and pulled her close to her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "There is a person beside me who claims to know where we can seek shelter. Hold onto me. We will follow him!" she said into the woman's ear, hoping she heard her. She turned to the stranger. "Lead the way!"

It was more of the storm that made her nervous. She felt the quench of fear bubble its way into the pit of her stomach as she pulled herself a little closer to Lilith, she was certain that Lilith felt the same way, however; she was brave. Something that made Lexis in a sense admire her. It was then she heard a voice of man speaking, she couldn't see him. The storm was far more greater then anticipated. She turned to look at Lexis before hearing her voice break through the wind to talk to her. "There is a person beside me who claims to know where we can seek shelter. Hold onto me. We Will follow him!" Something like this made Lexis's gut ache with nervousness, she knew there was no other way, this storm was dangerous, and a stranger was the only person she knew that she had no choice but to trust.

Shade grimaced as the girl grasped his hand. He pulled hard, walking against the wind towards an old cabin that sat not far off the road, half hidden by the trees. He grabbed the chain on the door and ripped it away, smashing through the door and pulling the girls inside. "What the hell were you two doing out there, anyway?" He asked once they were inside the shelter, his voice riddled with mock concern, "I could smell this storm coming a mile away." He released the witch's hand and shook the water from his shaggy hair. "Sorry for taking charge like that, but I figured it was do or die. Maybe literally."

"We were simply travelling." replied Lilith curtly. She had sensed the storm in the air, but hadn't paid any mind to it. "We were on our way to the village when the storm hit. We are lucky that you happened to be passing by, though I did not recall seeing anyone near us before the storm hit." Her voice took on an edge, indicating that she did not trust this man. And her face reflected it. "Do not misunderstand me, I appreciate you offering to help us. But it is strange that we did not see you, especially for you to have been near enough to us to have known where we were."

Lexis remained silent. There was certainly something odd about this man, and though she did not say it aloud she thought it. It was to convenient for her own taste that he was there to aid them. She examined the shack occasionally taking glances at him as though in attempt to figure him out, he just screamed bad news. However; she would let Lilith the chance to decide, especially considering that Lexis's track record of trust wasn't the highest when it came to people who didn't save her life. Lilith was right it was strange that they didn't see him especially the convenience it was for them to have met with each other. It seemed almost as if he had been following them for quite sometime.

Shade ran his fingers through his hair, thinking quickly. I guess it couldn't hurt to reveal one secret. "I was actually quite close, just in another form." He spoke, keeping his voice just high enough to be heard over the storm, "I'm a Lycan, you see. I prefer to remain in my Wolf shape and wander the wilds. But since you likely would have panicked at the sight of a werewolf coming towards you, especially in the midst of this storm, I decided to shift and lend you a hand." He explained, deceit dripping from his lips like honey. He kept the charm on high as he spoke. They didn't have to trust him, they just needed to not see him at a threat. "I apologize if I startled you, of course. It was not my intent." He added, giving a low bow of apology.

Lilith was almost appalled by the amount of charm and how polite he was being. She wasn't used to this type of behaviour, and his bow added to her dislike of him. But he had a reasonable explanation, though she wasn't sure she liked it. She had never encountered a 'Lycan', and knew little of what they were capable of, nor what they really were. She had heard of men turning into wolves, but had been told that it was very unlike her ability to shape-change; they had the one form they could change into, while she manipulated her body to take any shape through the art of magick. One thing she knew for sure was that she wasn't going to trust him just because he was kind enough to save them. "I see. You have my thanks. I guess we will wait out the storm, then continue on our separate ways. Hopefully, we won't have to wait all night. In the mean time, I shall prepare a small meal. I hope you like rabbit stew."

"I'm fine with anything thank you" Lexis released a small smile as she turned to look at Lilith before exchanging glances with the stranger. "Lexis" she finally introduced herself, knowing that the little trust that was there was enough to go with. "My friend here is Lilith, I should at least show my form of gratitude" She thanked him however; her face remained dark and serious.
