Tara woke before anyone else. The uneasy tension in her stomach that came from spending all her money on booze and not food was kicking her ass again, and she let out a belated sigh to object to it.
Her way of fighting back was grabbing the last bottle from the fridge. She was bothered by this on many levels. Once, this was just a sport. Now it was so much worse.
She finished it, and threw it away into the trash. At least nobody was awake yet to see that.
The part of her who missed the others wanted them there, but the part that didn't really wanted them to leave. Seeing her like this wasn't the best reuinion, after all..
Meri and Edan hadn't come back until mid morning. Meri was still asleep, and Tara didn't want to wake her.
But.. she had to go get Sara..
"Alright, kids. Up we go. We got shit to do, today."
------
Nyx was patient right now. She wasn't tired anymore, because she'd slept though them the day before. These large, stupid human men weren't really a trouble when you learned to block them out.
Her odd red eyes scruitinized the room around her. She hadn't said a word since she'd arrived. Nothing worth saying.. many of the slaves were angry with Nyx by this point. Arrogant, they called her. Where was the arrogance when a smile was issued instead of false resolve? She knew she'd die in this place. That Xiel man was crazy.
The elven girl put her fingers around the bars on her cell, and stared, waited.
She didn't know what would happen, but she wanted it to. It was okay when she was quiet, but everyone else was not.
Sara came though the room on several occasions to ask her questions. Most of the other slaves weren't caged. Why was she? Why didn't she speak? Why did she have odd eyes like that?
Nyx knew she was worth a lot of money, as far as slave traders could tell. That was why. She wasn't stupid.
She'd thrown one of the stones at Sara's head. Then she'd left.
This was okay.
Nyx liked quiet.

The young wizard got up and stretched with a big yawn
"Good mornin to you Tara, did you sleep well?"
he stretched around for a little bit and cracked his neck
"Where, perchance, are we going?"

The head of a shadow appeared over a small ridge, followed by the body. A tall silhouette then rose over the hill. The sun behind him, eclipsing his face and his front body. He stood stairing at what was before him. He finaly made it to his destination, but the fun was just about to begin. He shook his head, knocking his hair from over his eyes, and cocked a grin.
He begun to walk, his body slowly showing itself as he made his decent twards the camp. His boots were black, but mud had almost compleatly consumed them. His pants were dirty and full of holes. To his sides he had two swords, one with a long hilt, and the other with a basket hilt. His shirt had the impression that it was once white, but it appeared a yellowish, dirt color now. The sleeves extended to his wrists, reveiling two gloves on his hands. He took a few more steps and he was no longer a silhouette, but a tall, strong, male figure with a shaven, strong looking pale face. The type face that many humans never saw, and very seldom did any at all. He walked with his chin held high and proud. It was obvious he was no normal person. For one, no normal person would walk into a slavers camp with a gaspless look on his face. He smirked and continued his way twards the camp.

Tara pressed her fingers against her forehead. Ugh.. migrane..
She closed the door of her fridge and made a half-hazard attempt to pull back her hair while walking to put on her boots.
"You know.. to get-" she took the elastic from her mouth. "To get that kid back from the camp that Ceal has her in.." she sighed. "You gotta pay attention.."
Meri was waking now. She mumbled her objections, but straightened, yawning loudly. A crown of messy blue hair surrounded her face.
"..I need to have a bath." she said quietly.
Tara sighed. "Don't worry about it. Geeze. More important-"
"I'm a water sprite." she reminded her. "..I..I need it.."
Tara halted. Oh yeah. That..
Shit. She didn't have a working bathtub...
"I don't think I have one that works.. I usually go to the inn and.." she stood "It's closed."
Meri whimpered a little, standing. "..Meri's fine."
-----
OOC: I'm temping Xiel for a while. I think blackwater and I talked about this previously. If not, I'm sorry.
BIC: Xiel wasn't awoken when this happened. He was asleep, in his own tent. Sara was on the other side of it, in her own cot. She was woken by several of the men from outside.
She would deal with this. If she woke him. he might get mad.
The young girl went outside with them, the sun shining in her eyes and shocking them open.
"mmm.." she muttered. It was so early. "Who are you? What do you want?"

overhearing, Kougi suggests lightly
"i may not be as grand as the masters, but i can be of service, It's the least i owe for you all being so kind to me and giving me a place to stay....now meri hold still"
He drops to his knees and pulls out a small black book from his hat with undecipherable symbols and markings on it
"oh great fathers of the supernal realm, grant me thine will..."
A giant sphere of water appears above meri and drops ontop her like a giant water baloon and splashes everywhere
He looks around and slowly puts the book away
"uh...oh..."

He stood, stairing at the girl. He hadn't spoken in so long, he tried to remember how. He let out a low humming noise to work out his vocal cords, that was so dim only he could hear it. He blinked a number times, yet continuing to stare, trying to conjure up the right words.
Atlast, he had them. "My name is Dyrza. I come to infiltrate this camp. Stand aside or die in vane"
He was obviously confident in his abbilities, for by the views of the camp, it didn't look like an easy place to live at. He placed his hand inside his basket hilt, and slowly wrapped his fingers around it. He didn't draw his weapon, he only ment to show that he ment buisness. He didn't want to hurt anybody unrequired, expecialy a small girl. He just wanted to get back what was rightfully his.

Meri was shrieking. She was laughing. It was the funniest thing imaginable.
Tara was livid. Not only was Meri drenched, but so were all her magazines, all her papers, and every inch of her apartment. Edan certainly didn't look pleased.
"You put out my smoke." she said, dropping it. "What the hell is wrong with you?"
Meri covered her hands to hide that she was giggling. ---
Sara, who barely made 4 feet tall, made a very fierce and mean face.
"Nonono!" she answered excitably. "You can't- uh.. uh..." she looked sideways. "We're closed!"
"..closed?" one of the men muttered.

Tara groaned. She was shaking water off of herself. "..yeah, just fix it, okay? Fucking hell.."

he nods softly, taking out the strange little black book once more. Kougi kneels once more and utters softly
"oh great fathers please lend me thine will once more, and to not turn thine wrath upon mine friends..." He then speaks in a tounge that is rather odd and unknown.
Everything in the room dries back up again, people included....except for one thing.
The very tip of kougi's hat is on fire and he does not know it. He gets up and asks
"so did it work?"

Dyrza made a grin, but not happily, it appeared to be an angry type of grin. He soundlessly removed his sword from its sheith, reveiling an almost four footed double sided silver in color, sword.
He vanished from his spot, a soft noise was heard, as if a small bell had been in someones hands, as they attempted to ring it. The blade now shone in crimson, as a man nearly five feet from where he appeared fell to the ground. He vanished again, and two more men fell to the ground before he reapeared in a spot nearly fifteen feet away from where he first was. His speed was incomparible. One saw what was happening and attempted to run away, only to fall to the ground with the upper part of his chest falling a foot ahead of the other part of his body. Three people remained, Sara, another warior, and Dyrza himself. It had only been nearly five seconds, while nearly twoof it he was standing in a new place. He kicked the remaining man in the back, knocking him to the ground. He stuck his sword to the back of his neck.
"Allow me passage, or loose your head."
The man whimpered, as blood from his comrads dripped from his forehead and was splattered all over his clothes and face. He said in a fearful tone "G-g-go.. Just don't kill me!" He had begun to cry. Dyrza his him with the side of his blade, knocking him out. Now, only him and the girl stood there.
"Still closed?"
He didn't want to kill an innocent girl. He attempted and succeded to breach her mind, feeling that she, above all, was a good person.

Meri shrieked gleefully. Using a rather large water spell, she put out the fire on his head.
"Oh for fuck sakes!" Tara shouted a few moments later. "Lets just fucking LEAVE, oh my fucking god- Meri, what the hell is your malfunction?"
Meri was still giggling. She shrugged.
"..ugh. Goddamnit.." Tara said, leaving the room. Meri grabbed Edan's hand and pulled him with them. She looked back to Kougi.
"Lets go, okay?"
---
Sara stepped back two steps. She bit her lip in concentration, and put up her fists. "I- can't let you go by.." she said nervously. "So.. so you'd better be ready.. cause I can fight too."

Dyrza sheithed his blade. Is she serious? He thought to himself. Either way, he didn't want her making a noise. He finished off the others with such haste because he wanted to make sure that him being there was still a secret. He didn't doubt he could probably take on the whole army there.. But he certianly didn't want to have to. He did was was needed of him, nothing more. Killing hundreds, maybe thousands of people, extreamly outmatched for him was less than unfair.
"Child. I don't wish to end your life, expecialy at such a ripe young age. But if it's a fight you want, it's a fight you'll get."
Dyrza had a plan, he was just to knock her out, then take her to a safer place. He didn't feel good about leaving her body there. He once again vanished, and reapeard behind her. His hand quickly forcing its way twards her neck, onto a nerve that if was hit, would knock her out for a few moments.

She yelped. Her teeth bit down on his arm, and her katar drew quickly- the speed at which she moved was fantastic for someone her age- it was twisted back, on his throat, and she was tensing the muscles in objection. "L-let go- Xiel! XIEL!"

Kougi was freaked out a little by his hat being on fire, but calmly put his book away.
He nodded at tara's command.
"y-yeah, sure..that's fine. lets go then."
He follows them out.
"...lets just pray i dont have to dry anything else today"
