Brutus looked from Erim and to the statue as he approached it and he felt his heart sink and flip.. It certainly was her; he'd be able to spot it from a mile away had he actually been looking. As others began to surround her, a deep growl issued from his throat and he quickly pushed his way to her and he gently gripped her hand. He could see and sense the fear that she was feeling, and he grew all the more protective. He pulled her in to his chest, and seemed to shield her from everyone. "let's get out of this crowd... This is clearly part of your missing memories... we should forget what we had planned, and we should perhaps see if there is a library or something that we can look up what all this is..." He whispered in to her ear, his eyes shooting glares at everyone around them.

"Raven Queen, Goddess of death and Fate please answer our cries of worship" the preacher continued his hand extended to her and people surrounded both Brutus and the girl most in poverty, face sunked in and hunger strickened. She hung to Brutus who began dragging her out of the crowd of people, she felt her pants being pawed at feeling the fabric of the goddess they made out of her. She only held onto Brutus tighter, why was she someone now. All she wanted was to be with Brutus they had an entire day planned. "Goddess please tell me where my husband is, bring him back to me" a woman pleaded, child in a hand as she cried out to her her hand firmly on her loose shirt, Erim was held at a stand still her shirt in the hands of this woman who believed Erim could do something. Erim didn't know if she could do something she turned to Brutus her eyes pleading to him to do something about this, they were now surrounded little to no way of escaping.
The preacher approached them hands in the air, "you have returned her to us" he began his voice contempt as though resolve of all sin. "Now please give her to us so we may place her at her rightful place at the tower" he turned to a circle tower that over looked the city of Redwood. His hand extended towards the 'goddess "It's been over a thousand years my queen and we would like you to return to us" Erim clung closer to Brutus, her words Not coming out, she didn't look a day over 25, let alone she was no God to them she hung Brutus tightly the preacher's face turned into a sickly twisted sense of anger. "Capture her and kill the man" worshippers began to surround the couple, sword drawn out. They needed to find an escape from this heretics and fast.

Brutus' eyes shifted to a dark amber color as part of his werewolf side came out. He let out a low growl and he pulled her in to his chest more. "Hold on Erim." He whispered and completely shifted to be a werewolf. Like he had done before, he put her in to his back and started snapping and snarling his way through the crowd. It was clear they wouldn't be safe in the city. He ran as fast and hard as he could to get away from the crowd.

She hung around his neck, her eyes tightly closed as they were being chased by a mob of heretics calling out to their goddess that was being 'kidnapped' by the savage beast. Erim hung around him her eyes tightly closed, she felt more useless then ever before. Why couldn't she fight back, any other traveling companion wouldn't put their partner in this much danger. He rushed pass the crowded streets, most of them unknowing of the events unfolding, it wasn't until he arrived by the gates they came in from that they were sealed. They were trapped. "...Brutus, I think were trapped we need to hide" she spoke her voice carrying a tremble.

Brutus slipped out from under her and shifted back. "We won't remain trapped. There's no need to worry." He whispered to her and looked around. "We have to get you something new to wear, you can't show your face.... I'm worried that word has spread about you." He stated as his eyes darted around. He needed to get a cloak for her. "Come on." He stated and drug her down an alley. "Don't worry or panic, Erim... I'm with you." He stated and ducked around a corner. He walked down to a shop, full of hunting gear.
He quickly spoke with the owner, bought two cloaks and left. Outside the shop, he put the cloak on her and himself, pulled the hood up and slipped his hand in hers. "We need to find a part of the city where the wall is low and weak. We can get out, don't worry."

"Excuse me...but I do know of a good place of hiding." A gentle voice of a girl spoke submerging out of the darkness, "don't worry I'm not apart of this chaotic commotion" she gestered to what seemed to a hole on the ground, "I know you might not trust me but its fine, down here is where most people hide mind you that most of them are criminals hiding from the law, but I can assure you that it will be a wonderful place to hide from what you're running from for at least the time being, I can also help you escape come night fall" she wore a leather tunic, and tight leather pants that almost showcased everything on this woman, her upper half had chain mail clearly depicting that she was an expert fighter, in her hand a firm bow and several daggers along her waist. The cries of men began to fast approach "I can help you I can assure you this" She offered her hand to the now open secret under ground entrance "...I'll give you my name later we don't have much time"

Brutus looked at the woman and licked his lips. He looked at Erim. The underground was a good idea, after another second of hesitation, and the cries of the men, he grabbed Erim's hand and quickly lead her in to the tunnel. He held Erim tight to his side, his arm around her as the entrance closed behind them. "Now your name?" Brutus stated and looked at the woman, his eyes glowing slightly in the dim lighting.

"Faye" she replied it seemed like they were in an underground town. Bustling with black market venders "I'm a silent hero in these parts she bragged her hand firmly connected to her hips as her other hand was risen and she air bowed before them. "And this is Redwood underground market...the slums if you'd prefer to call it"

Brutus' eyes scanned all the vendors carefully. He didn't let his guard down. He seemed to be giving off a particular vibe from him. He was definitely standoffish to everyone except to Erim. "Faye, hm?" He repeated finally and held Erim close to him. "I go by Brutus..." He replied and started to walk hesitantly around the underground. "There is no other way out? No other exit to this place?" He asked. He didn't want to remain there until night. They had to keep going.

"As much as I would like to say there is by now the towns guard have all gates blocked off by Now looks like you're stuck with us" she answered and approached the man and his companion. She had her hands to her hips and leaned towards Erim "so you're that goddess carved into a statue on the surface" she leaned forward as to examine her face fully aware that Brutus would not approve of this upfront behaviour Erim nuzzled her face into his side in attempt to hide it. "Not really special besides the real story goes that the Raven Queen herself abandoned humanity and left to another plain, you don't look a day over 25...I call bluff" she erected her stature and looked at Brutus, "many heretics in this city you'd best to lay low, I'm not your enemy but I'm also not going to be your friend just because I help you I'm only doing it because the last thing I want gnawing at the back of my mind is guilt for getting you killed for saving your girlfriend" she turned her back to them as she began to head to the underground alums. "Are you coming or no?"

"Oh, I don't trust you one bit." Brutus growled as he draped his cloak over Erim and continued to walk, although he trailed a little behind Faye. "You mean to tell me there is no other entrance connected to the outside of the city from the underground?" He asked, a little skeptical. "That is hard to believe. There use to be another entrance in to the city that was found out in the wilderness..."

"You're talking about the under water pathway found deeper in this slum...now it's riddled with weed and vines most people that traverse those terrains tend to not find their way back" faye replied, "unless you're me that is I found my way there in and out on the run from Forelockians..." "So does that mean you can help us then" replied Erim eagerly awaiting for her answer. Faye smirked "oh but I could for a fair price" she twirled pacing the couple finger risen in the air. "What price is that? We don't have much but I can assure you I'm willing to pay" eagerly Erim edged, "very well goddess look a like I require a kiss" she turned to Brutus her smile still edging the side of her lips. "From that guy" her finger pointed to Brutus then folded over her chest awaiting for their reaction.

Brutus merely stared at the other woman, unphased by her question. "This is not very amusing, child." He stated, his voice monotone. Who did she think she was? "I don't need your help. After night has fallen we will leave this place, and you won't have to worry about us again." Brutus stated in a finalizing tone. "My body belongs to her." He added and pressed his lips to Erim's temple. "as does my heart." He added and licked his lips.

"I don't do things for free Here! Besides It's harmless kiss! It's how I form contracts here" Faye looked rather insulted, Erim on the other hand was blushing at what Brutus thought about this situation, in fact hearing her speaking the way she was made Erim slightly jealous and annoyed at her "if youre really convinced you can make it out alive and on your own then I'm off"

"We just require to stay here until night fall, and I can get us out. What you are asking is uncalled for." Brutus said in a finalizing home, and he looked back at Erim. "Let's find us something to eat down here. We can discuss what we're going to do." He added and rubbed her side gently.
