(Ok.)
Next to Haskel, the man turned and brought out a sickle with a dark, antler-carved and writing inscribed handle, and a wickedly hooked Damascus blade. He waved it slightly, and it pulsed neon.
"This sickle can increase the size of the wounds it makes, or heal others." He said, as the sickle stopped pulsing.
"Then donate my daggers." Haskel said, handing them over.
"They are good weapons but they are just normal." He finished, taking the sickle and stowing it away.
"They were used during the Dragon battle, for this town's future popularity they will be great for the town and probably worth more if publicitised" Paige suggested.
"Exactly." Haskel said. The old man took them and walked off. Haskel approached Riverpaw.
"You've got yourself quite the arsenal now." He said. "Between the arrows of light and the four I gave you."
Riverpaw strapped the quiver to her back and nodded. "Though, I-I don't usually use material arrows." She said.
"Is that so?" Haskel said. "What do you use?"
Silently Magnus walked away from the group after receiving the boot's and equipped them before starting to try a bit of practice.
Riverpaw glanced at Tsunami, who gave a small nod. Riverpaw shifted a bit on the wolf's back and held out her hand, which glowed dimly for a moment before materializing a brown, dark green tipped arrow with small dark green feathers on the end.
As soon as the sorcerer left Paige became invisible. She did not move away from the group but simply walked around blissfully knowing that she could do whatever she wanted without having to worry about anyone seeing. Letting out a heavy sigh, she played with her hair while thinking over today's sudden events and the company she now had.
"Ah." The Demon Lord said, walking away. He went to the guard barracks to train, using a dummy of straw and cloth with wooden limbs to perfect his technique.
While still under the cover of invisibility, Paige willed her wings to appear and in one great she was high in the air. She lazily flipped over in circles at first, playing around with the cloaks power. Soon after she unsheathed her longsword and began practising the aerial combat techniques her father had taught her a long time ago.
(I'm thinking that our characters should settle down so we can leave as soon as possible.)
Haskel left the barracks, in time to see a coach pulled by several workhorses. It was large, with a driver bench large enough for two, and the cart was large, with a door leading to a compartment in the middle for storing valuables, and bedding for those seated to sleep on two benches in the back enough for several.
"What's this?" Haskel asked.
"It'll be the instrument of your travels." Answered one of the villagers drawing it up.
Paige noticed the huge cart stop before Haskel and out of curiousity she flew towards then. She landed gently near Haskel and the villager before asking, "What is this huge cart for?" Only realising after she spoke that she was still invisible.
"Don't mind that?" Haskel said.
"It will be the thing you travel in." The villager answered.
Tsunami huffed, then swiftly turned to the forest, surprising Riverpaw a bit. "What?" She questioned, quickly regaining her balance. Tsunami shook her head, keeping her eyes forward as she started jogging through the forest. "Oh, right, our friends. Tsuna, h-how can you be so excited about this? We're leaving the forest, a-and with a bunch of creatures and magic users we just met!"
Tsunami glanced back at her, and Riverpaw groaned under her breath. "Yes, yes, I know, 'the Ancestors said so', I got it. But still! Th-they never exactly give us any details about our missions, a-and we've been lucky up until now that we've been given tasks in no place other than the forest - familiar territory. B-but now they want us to go with these people a-all the way out to the mountains? Why!?" Riverpaw took a deep breath as Tsunami made an annoyed sound in her throat. "No, I don't feel better. Let's j-just hurry up and be back." Riverpaw huffed.
"That's right." Haskel said. He walked into the Eyeless Boar, approaching the counter, and paying for a goblet of wine and some cheese and bread.
Paige sat at a table in the back, finally back at the inn again after the whole day, she ordered no food as her appetite has died out but she did order a drink to wash away the faint aftertaste of the meat that refused to leave.
Haskel finished the wine, and dug into the bread and cheese devouring it all. He'd had enough alcohol, and so he walked out, and cast his sleeping bag in the bedding of the cart, not bothering to pay for a room.
Paige flew back to the cart and lay across the bedding of the cart, not bothering to return home to get something to make her sleep more comfortable. She preferred avoiding it as much as possible. It didn't take long as she fell asleep with her sword resting between her arms.
Haskel examined his sickle, before stowing it and drifting off.
Riverpaw slid off of Tsunami's back once they had reached their home. She climbed up the giant tree and entered her rather large tree fort, taking her bow and new quiver and arrows and setting them on a shelf growing out of one of the walls. She stretched for a minute, then hurried back down to Tsunami, who was getting comfortable in a pile of leaves, since she refused to make a permanent sleeping spot. Riverpaw shifted into her wolf form and stepped onto the pile, curling up between Tsunami's large paws and laying down. Tsunami huffed and rested her head next to her paws, easily drifting off with Riverpaw.
(Our other friends can join us later.)
Haskel woke up, getting out of the cart, and waited. Someone would see them off.
Paige had kept waking up through the night and now that it was morning she didn't quite feel like getting up. She felt movement around her but lay there unmoving for a few more minutes. This was going to be a long journey.
He pulled out a silver necklace with a pearl pendant that had some writing on it.
"This can turn into a whip." He said. Immediately it elongated, morphing into a long whip. The end was serrated, and it seemed to be oddly furry.
"Careful of the barbs." He said, turning it back and handing it to the young man.
“This is amazing! Let me guess, press the pearl to retract the barbs?”
The captain of the City Guard came to visit, seeing them off, as did the old Sorcerer.
"Alright. We'll be back after this journey." Haskel said, waiting for the group.
“Of course.” Axel said and put on the necklace
