(Slipped and said Arwyn again goddamit)
Jord
Jord nods silently in agreement with Gwen. He shuffles out of the door, followed by Gwen, Rowena, and Quill. Ma'Tonzi flutters onto Arwyn's head, and Faber follows close behind the group. Just as everyone is heading downstairs, the second floor begins shaking violently and before their very eyes it starts glimmering and sparkling before fading away and disappearing, like there was never a second floor in the first place. -
Ma'Tonzi
Ma'Tonzi watches silently as everyone goes down the steps, and Rita is waiting on them impatiently like it took them ages.
"Everyone make their way to the door, please. I wasn't prepared to be a babysitter tonight, and I'm behind on so many things now. Usually I'd give wizard seekers a map, but Quail can take you most of the way," Rita says, motioning to the elf. -
Quill
Quill looks at Rita inquisitively. "I've never been to the wizard before.." he says.
"Yeah, but if you go back to the Moon Elf Clan I'll meet you there and show you the rest of the way," Rita explains.
For the first time, Quill looks unhinged. "Wouldn't it be easier to give us a map?" He asks, slightly pale in the face.
Rita smirks. "Consider this payback for bothering me and making me house your team. If I gave you a map you'd just find a way around them, and we can't have that now can we?" Rita turns away, and twirls into a puff of smoke before disappearing in a misty haze. -
Faber
It's silent for a moment, but eventually Faber turns and heads toward the door. "Well. We don't have all day. Let's go wish hunting," they say. Everyone begins to follow Faber and leave the house. "Lead the way, little man." Faber says to Quill. Quill walks to the front and takes the group by the nearby forest. -
Rowena
Rowena follows silently. Everyone was thinking it; what was the Moon Elf Clan? What did Quill have to do with it? But no one wanted to ask it out loud. As they reached the forest entrance, she is suddenly grabbed on the arm by an old man. Rowena stifles a surprised scream.
"Don't go there, travellers. That forest is a dark forest, full of curses and mystery. People only pass through there when they wanna see the wizard, and even then they don't usually make it out," the man warns.
Rowena smiles awkwardly and pulls her arm away. "We'll be fine," she assures him. She returns to the group, who had slowed down for the imteraction but were ahead of her now.
"Say hi to Death for me!" The man shouts after them, which chills Rowena to her core. -
Gwen
Gwen puts a protective arm around Rowena's shoulders when they enter the forest and the creepy old man is no longer in sight. Quill leads them in stoic silence, and it makes starting a conversation hard. The path was rugged and thin, not nearly large enough to fit a carriage. This was probably why most adventurers died trying to reach the wizard; it forced you to travel on foot. "This forest is dangerous," Gwen said under her breath. -
Quill
Quill was shaking. He couldn't believe he used to live so close the wizard. He couldn't believe that he was returning to the clan.. he couldn't believe a lot of things. Quill leads the team for a few hours, and eventually it becomes midday. "We can take a break," he says finally. They still hadn't encountered anything bad yet. The forest was apparently not as deadly as the old man had made it out to be. -
Faber
Faber stops walking once the elf says they can take a break. "Good. Need to stretch my wings," Faber says. Without another word, they unfurl their wings and jump into the air. The trees make it a bit difficult, but eventually Faber makes it up to the sky without any branches in the way. -
Rowena
"That's a great idea!" Rowena says once Faber is in the air. She slides off her bookbag and begins to unbutton her shirt. Quill and Jord cover their eyes quickly. Rowena rolls her eyes. "I have a cami on underneath! The cami has holes cut out for my wings, my regular shirt doesn't!" Rowena explains to the boys. She tosses her regular shirt on top of her bag and lets her fae wings unearth themselves. They were significantly smaller than Faber's dragon wings, but impressive nonetheless.
Rowena hops up and takes flight. She doesn't have as much difficulty navigating her way through the tree branches and easily catches up to Faber. -
Gwen
Gwen facepalms. "Rowena you can't just fly with a random dragon that we barely know!" Gwen says. She takes a few steps back and then runs and leaps up after her, and Gwen's fae wings easily catch the wind and lifts her up after her sister. -
(Messed up the order at some point, oops)
Jord
Jord looks in fascination at three of his teammates deciding to take flight. He didn't feel envious for them, since Jord was afraid of heights, but he hoped they were having fun. Him and Quill were the only ones unable to fly, now that he thought about it. He looked at the elf, who was pacing around in a circle and murmuring to himself. Jord smiled. Quill was cool, Jord enjoyed having a similarity to him. -
Ma'Tonzi
Ma'Tonzi felt bad leaving the boys alone, but she was sure they could handle themselves. She flew up after Gwen to join the rest of her flying teammates. She was much smaller than them, so she made sure to fly around not as close. If she got hurt from this height the fall would surely kill her. -
Quill
(THAT'S RIGHT BABY, I'M BACK)
Quill looked around at the forest and inspected some of the plants. "Poisonous. Edible. Edible. Poisonous. Weed. Edible. Poisonous," he murmured to himself, listing off their usefulness. No wonder so many adventurers died on this journey; half of the plantlife that looked edible were actually just poison.
Quill also observed the forest they were in. The tracks, the scratches on trees, the smells in the air, the bugs. "Jord," Quill called, ever so quietly. -
Faber
Faber growled when the others followed them into the sky. They were all dainty little things, did they really think their teeny wings could compare to the strong dragon wings that Faber possessed?
"So you're fae? I almost mistook you for elves. Weaker than I thought," Faber hmphed. They didn't know why that witch wanted Faber to join with a team this weak. Faber only stuck around because Quill seemed to be the only one who knew where they were going (Okay, and maybe Faber thought Quill was kind of cool). If Rita had given the group a map, Faber would've stolen it and snuck off on their own. -
Rowena
"We are fae! And unlike you we're strong magically and not brutally... Well, we're also strong a little brutally," Rowena said with a proud smile. Her and her sister Gwen had been trained by multiple fighting tutors. They were Vanshires, after all. Their family owned enough weaponry businesses to start and end a war.
To make her case, Rowena casts a haste spell on herself and zooms around Faber till they're dizzy.
