Two sisters walked, side-by-side, their shoes scuffing the dust, lifting it up into the air where it was quickly blow away by the gusty weather. A shadowy form flitted behind them, darting in and out of the treeline to the left of the path. The younger girl rubbed her hands together.
"Kapu! We're almost there; come out and make yourself presentable."
Jeez... It's so much warmer here, though... A disgruntled-looking lupine stalked out of the cover of the forest, falling into step behind his sisters.
A slightly haggard looking teenaged boy clothed in black, an older girl, more composed and wearing white, and a young woman, in white and green, walked through the city gates together five minutes later. It wasn't really much of a city, per se, than it was what was left of city. A number of the buildings had fallen into disrepair, doors and windows were missing, and cobblestones were present in only about one out of three spaces where they should have been. There was a crowd of maybe thirty people waiting in the former town square, who broke into cheering upon their entrance.
"Wow. I guess we're the first ones here...?" Serene looked a little uneasy.
"I guess..." Aleu shyed away as a skinny, haunted looking man approached them.
"Are you here to save us?" he asked, almost demanded. Aleu backed up another step.
"Maybe?"
((Argh out of time. Make your entrances xD)

Omio was actually beind Aleu and Kapu, but too far to be seen or heard easily when he saw this shadow dancing about. It was among his path to the rubbage and smoke ahead. He assumed the worst. He drew his sword and walked slowly towards the town again.
Whoever that shadow may be, it'll be dead if it attacks.
Omio loved his Kaiser Sword. Not only because of the poison contained within the blade, but also the abhorrent weight. There was more to it than what met the eye, and only Omio knew this.
((I might let Miryu jump in as a bit-part character for about a week at the most. Nothing to really change the plot... -_-'))

Ceileuse drifted above them in the air with his leathery black wings. His ruffled auburn hair persistently poked at his eyes, making it hard for him to see. He shook his head violently to make the strands move. I desperately need a haircut... The boy sighed as he landed next to the others. Upon touching the ground, his hair flopped down in front of his eyes again. "...I better get that haircut soon," he muttered to himself as he pushed the hair back with his hand.

Ashrial and Whisp wanted to avoid the crowd and ran over the roofs of the houses and then Ashrial saw 2 girls and a boy down him and jumped from the roof, Whisp growled and jumped after him.
"Hello, I ain't late it seems..." Ashrial said.

A slender figure had made its way through the streets, cloaked in a brown hood. Her turquoise eyes scanned her surroundings, hungrily drinking in whatever she could see. Now this was odd, she had thought when she took a quick scan of the city. Everything is completely destroyed. I didn't think it'd be this bad. She wrinkled her nose a bit of dust reached her nostrils. "Achoo! ...agg. Bless me."
Her cloth shoes padded softly against the cobblestone ground, as she quickly walked toward the town square. A rather large number of people had already gathered there, waiting for something. When her pace slowed to a plod, she removed the hood hiding her facial features. A pair of pointy ears revealed that she was of Elven decent. "Hello..?"

Following not to far behind the brown cloaked figure came a dark looking teenage man. He wore all black, namely a long black coat, and had a pale face. The only car that could be seen was his shining blue eyes. He walked quietly on the scattered cobblestone path, the spears in his sling clicking together. He stopped at the back of the crowd, looking at the destruction of the city...

"Hah~ That was such a confusing map..." sighed a teenage girl with firey red hair, as she reached the city. She was wearing a dark green shirt and a navy blue skirt, and carried a rather large pole-axe on her back. "Not the nicest looking place, huh? I hope I can help out..." She started down the cobblestone road, and upon noticing the crowd, began a quick jog down the remaining path. Upon reaching the town square, she called out with a smile, "Hello, my name is Fai, and I hope I can be of some help!"

((Silly Omio, that shadow was Kapu xP It's okay, I can work around it no problem. I wasn't planning on introducing him just yet, but nooooo problem Remember, you're all hired to help. *rubs fingers together in a money gesture* >:3)) Aleu looked around; a crowd was gathering. Most faces she recognized, from a number of inter-school competitions and tourneys, and the rest had either never attended or had been forgotten. She had a hard time putting faces to names, but the one with wings looked like Ceileuse; she had met him on a couple occassions back at the academy. Aleu hadn't known him well, but props for remembering the name. "Is everyone here?" The man asked, looking around. "Shall I begin?" He was interrupted by a high pitched keening sound, which made everyone jump. "Guess not?" Serene said, looking off towards direction where the sound had come from; the woods where the trio had come from. "Want to check it out?" ----------------------- Willow stopped her trek through the woods; the group had entered the town. She bit her lip; making her presence known wouldn't be a wise move, besides, she had other places to be. Tracking Serene wasn't her only mission. Willow turned halfway around before the sound of quiet footsteps made her freeze. Willow was often praised as the best tracker in her academy; her senses were sharper than those of most students, which made her ideal for tailing the trio. Her heightened ability to hear had also saved her hide on more than one occassion. The pack of sharpened steel rods, slung in a quiver over her back, jingled as she began to magically lift one out, letting it rest a little over her shoulder, bobbing gently up and down in the air. Willow crouched, sighted, and magically shot the metal pole towards Omio, making the air whistle loudly. She winced and stuck a finger in her, trying to get rid of the ringing.

Omio heard a metal bar abeing launched, and he jumped off to thew side. He grunted in a rush of adrenaline, then literally ran up the tree and grabbed a branch. He saw Willow. He swung on to the branch and walked towards Willow. "Why did you launch a pole at me?" Omio was looking for an answer. He didn't really want to kill, but need it be, he would. "I don't intend on killing you if the versa is true for you."

Ceileuse heard the piercing noise and turned to see Omio speaking to a girl near the edge of the woods. "...Commotion already?" The manakete spread his wings out and flapped them once, hovering slightly in the air. He slowly flapped over to the other two. Don't want to miss a fight if it happens...

Jukka, who had been in the front of the pack, listening to the man intently until the high pitched noise. "ugh...interruptions." Jukka turned around, seeing a manakete flying over to a pair of people. He walked a little closer from curiousity, but figured he should stay and listen to the man.

Fai simply stared at the manakete, as it flew away. She had all but forgotten that there was ever a distracting sound to begin with. Her attention was now completely on Ceileuse as he flew into the distance. ~~Pretty...~~

Ashrial staid looking at the man and ignored all the interruptions. Whisp looked at all the people to find anything about personalities and such. Through their minds they communicated with each other.

Omio, after a little while of silence, spotted Ceiluse to the left. "If you're looking for a fight, that person..." He pointed his sword at Willow. It let out a good whistle because of the lack of weight of the sword. "...will let both me and you know. Until then, things are good."

"Mmmkay then...," Ceileuse murmered quietly, yawning. He turned back to the others and headed back, catching Fai's stare. "Oh... Uh... Hello..." He scratched the back of his head awkwardly and glanced around. "...Why are you staring at me like that?"
