"Well that was interestin', least we got to see a li'l o' what it could do and how ta defeat it," Taron said as he flashed back into view and reassumed his usual form. They weren't far from the shack now. He once again led the way as they continued their trek.

Vera shrugged and followed.
Sarah sighed too and sat down next to her.

Micky leaned on her and sighed. "When we get back... everything is going to be okay."

The trio soon arrived at the shack. Ravos immediately went to putting away the various supplies they had stolen.

"Yeah..." Sarah looked up when the other got in. "Oh... hi..."
"Well... That was interesting. And at least we got something to do." Vera said, going in.

"Hey, Sarah, we picked up some more blood," said Ravos, digging through the pack and tossing a bottle to her. "You haven't drank any in awhile, so you'd better take some."

Sarah blinked and stared at the bottle. "..... Um.... actually I have." She mumbled, blushing slightly.

"Huh? But I didn't lend you my bottle, and I would noticed if some had- ohhh..." Ravos said as he looked at Micky, realizing what Sarah had meant. "I am sorry I could not have gotten it to you sooner," he said flatly, picking up the bottle and storing it with the rest. He began to fill the cooler with ice, popping open a small stopper on the bottom and letting the melted water within sink into the ground.

"I just went for a bit of a walk," Eyadar called from outside, slowly lumbering in. His voice sounded a bit off, as if he was having a cold... Taron didn't think much of it. Probably wasn't anything important...
"Well, it would appear you were right, Elder, seventy-two reported deaths at the hands of those shadow-creatures in various parts of the world," said Ravos as he thumbed through the pages of a newspaper. "The humans are officially in a state of panic, and of course blame Samrick for everything." He sighed, placing the newspaper down with the rest.

"Fun..." Vera shrugged and sat down, leaning back against the wall.
Sarah didn't say anything else and just kept hugging.

"I see... they're definitely growing in numbers..." grumbled Eyadar, almost under his breath as he went and sat down by the wall. "What do you think they will do about this?"
"You're asking me?" chuckled Ravos, sounding a tad amused. "You're the human, not to mention the 'all-knowledgeable-mage.' But I presume they'll mobilize their armies not against the creatures, but against the demons. It is unlikely they'd ever consider that these creatures weren't aligned with us. Samrick is most likely too proud to ask the humans for help, though if we explained to him the severity of the situation he may try to get them to understand... But screw that, we don't have enough time for such a trek anyway. Unless you'd teleport us, Eyadar...?"
"...No, I am afraid I cannot," replied Eyadar, glancing at Ravos.
Ravos raised an eyebrow, now staring at Eyadar with a contemplating look on his face. "Alright then..."

"You all shouldn't try to be heroes or anything," said Eyadar, forcing a sigh. "It would probably be best just to wait and hope they get things together before those monstrous beasts destroy everything."
"While I disagree with that sentiment, I have no ideas either. Anybody have any suggestions on what we should do? As a couple of civilians, we don't have much we can do, or so it would seem..." said Ravos, pondering their situation with a hand on his chin.

"Well, couldn't ya tell Samrick yerself, he'd believe a planar mage wouldn't he?" Taron suggested to Eyadar.
"Nay," replied Eyadar, waving a hand dismissively. "We'd all be dead by the time it took to make the trip. I do not know why I am having trouble with my magics, but I cannot instantaneously go too far, it would seem..."

"Great. So there's nothing we can do then?" Vera looked around, then shrugged. "Whatever. Works for me."

Ravos shrugged. "Well, I suppose all we can do is hope things work themselves out. I don't see us as having any other options. Perhaps the humans and the demons will come together in this time of crisis, perhaps not. Live or die, we're all in for an awesome ride." He smirked, laying his back against the wall.
Taron smacked the palm of his hand against his forehead. Ravos didn't give the best pep talks. ------ General Myles West looked over his reports with silence. Inside the papers on his desk, that seemed so innocent, were the records of several human deaths at the hand of mysterious monsters. He had no idea that the demon armies possessed such things, such grand power to be able to instantaneously place those beasts anywhere in human territory. Nobody knew how they got in, no one was sure how to stop more from coming either. He couldn't afford to set troops in every single town of the nation, it just couldn't be done with their current resources. But he couldn't do nothing, could he? Did the demons expect him and the humans to just stand by as they were torn apart from the inside? Should he just give up and beg the demons for mercy?
Nay, that was not his plan. "The best defense is a good offense," the aged man muttered under his breath. Myles did not plan to just let the demons have their way. If he couldn't defend his nation from those beasts, then he would have to destroy the place from which they came. Scouts had reported where evidence of the demon kingdom was, where the devilish Lord Samrick reigned. Now was the time to strike. He would mobilize the military, and he would have the demons wiped off from the face of the earth. For the good of mankind.

Sarah whimpered. "I'm scared..."
((That's okay. And yes, I'm aware that my posts are boring.))

"Why? What's so great about living anyway? It's a dog-eat-dog world," replied Ravos with a shrug. "You die, you live, doesn't really matter. You live for as long as you can, try to have as much fun as you can, then you die. Not really a big deal."

"Come on, answer me. What about 'living' is so damn swell? Why do you fear death?" said Ravos, getting up and taking a bottle of beer from the cooler.

"See? You don't have an answer!" Ravos smirked, tipping back the bottle of beer and letting the cool liquid wash down his throat. He wiped his both with his sleeve, continuing to say, "It's really not so bad. Life is a constant struggle. You are almost constantly either hungry, thirsty, tired, or otherwise ill. When death finally overtakes you, all of that goes away. Death shouldn't be feared, it happens to us all. It's not an evil thing to be avoided, nay, it is sweet relief."
