Ivy stays on the ground, shaking. Looking at the ground she says, "I'm so sorry, oh god I'm so sorry." A few tears role down her face when she looks over to Aza, "Did she…. are you…." A few more tears role down and Ivy looks back at the ground. "Did she take the darkness from you…?"
"Hmph. No. I'm fine. It's not your fault. Believe me, I should know." Aza offered her a hand.
Ivy slowly took Aza's hand, lifting her up. Still looking at the ground Ivy quietly says, "I'm so stupid. I should've never come here." She then slowly starts walking away, still a little weary.
"No. Please don't leave. I could-" Aza cleared her throat. "I could use your help. If you're willing to give it."
"So it would seem."
He lifted his hands towards his head, settling his hands on either side of the helm. He then slowly lifted the armor off of his head. Once the helmet was removed, appeared a man. His hair was deep black, his skin a darker tone. The male's golden eyes were now clearly seen. Twined in his hair was a long, black feather, one of his own.
"There are always new things in this world. Things I need to catch up on," he chuckled softly.
Ivy stops. After a moment of thinking she turns around. "Okay… I'll help you. Even though I might not be that much help"
"Thank you!" Aza smiled and held out her arm, Dezaley alighting on it.
Walking over to a tree Ivy sits down and leans on it. "So, how exactly do you want me to help you?"
Aza rolled her eyes. "First, we gotta get outta here. Then, I have to go find my-" Aza paused. "-my brother."
"Well, of course we gotta get out of this forest," Ivy stands and starts walking a little bit, motioning Aza to follow so they can find a way out. "Wait, your brother…?" She says, stopping again to look at Aza. She has family…
"No. I mean, yeah but." Aza frowned.
"That's understandable; catching up on things can be tiring and long process; or sometimes exciting; but in the end, it is needed." Locket seemed to get up and approach the side of Mos.
"What brings you to this forest, if I may ask?"
(Sorry that I'm not around. I have finals and such right now.)
(It's fine and totally understandable. good luck.)
Also frowning Ivy says, "I'm sorry… I didn't mean to…"
"No, no. I mentioned him; it's my fault." Aza smiled ruefully. "He's not really my brother. I loved him very much, but he got taken by the Griffin Wyverns in my town. I tried to save him, but he didn't want to be saved. The Wyverns had taken control of his mind, so I have to find a way to get his mind back."
"Oh, that's horrible," Ivy said. "Well, first things first, lets get out of this forest." She starts walking, hoping to find a way to get out
"That it can be. Then I spend most of my time simply observing and listening to try and learn what I can."
He watched as the female's mount stood, approaching and coming to rest beside its owner. Seemed the bond between them was extremely strong. Razorik's golden eyes shifted back to Mos.
The male gave a slight shrug, wings shifting with his movements, "I was just passing through. Paused to rest my wings."
Which was only partially true. He still preferred to keep the more grisly details to a minimum. Meaning he had honestly stopped when he caught the scent of a decaying carcass and stopped to take a bite.
"We must thank you." Ancro said quietly, looking gratefully at Stella. "We would have died without your care."
Stella gave a small smile, “It’s the least I can do…” she answered quietly, clenching her fist when she thought of Solstice. “I have to find her…” she muttered under her breath
"Who?"
“H-huh? Oh, my friend…that’s all.”
"We can help." Ancro offered.
We are not going off with her in repayment of a morsel. Chion's eyes flicked at him.
He gazed at her steadily. We go with her and get protection. Not to mention more food. We need this.
She huffed. Must I pretend to approve her?
You know.
Chion crept closer to Stella, her hair still partially concealing her face. She nodded.
She looked at Chion and Ancro, “Are you sure? You don’t have to…I could easily be on my way and leave you some food?”
"We will go with you," Ancro insisted. "Chion gave her consent."
