Firiko sighed, it was well past dark. "Time to go" he said quietly to Reed,

“Right.” Reed whispered back.

Firiko nodded to himself and moved, wincing as his previously numb muscles, suddenly felt like fire as pins and needles shot through his body. he carefully began to climb down not waiting for Reed to follow..

Reed jumped down, because poor impulse control was basically his middle name. But luckily, he was virtually silent when he landed.

"Please don't do that!" Hissed Firiko worriedly, digging through his bag.

“It’s fine.” Reed whispered dismissively.

Firiko gave him an odd look, before pulling out a pouch of powder, sprinkling it thoroughly over both his wings his feathers turned black as he did so. Firiko stowed it and pulled up his hood, motioning for Reed to follow asd he led the way soundlessly into the underbrush.

“What was that?!” Reed asked, having made himself invisible.

"It's a staining powder," said Firiko quietly. "I use it to camoflauge my wings,"

“Awesome!”

"Yeah," said Firiko wryly, "It'll take days to get out though.." he said as he led Reed further into the bush.

“As long as we get out at all, we’re good.”

"Right" replied Firiko, moving sliently up onto a ridge/

Reed suddenly stopped. He had just enough time to mutter a curse word and get on his knees before his hearing faded and he suddenly was seeing extremely disturbing images. Unbeknownst to him, he was making a lot of noise.

Firiko froze as Reed began getting very loud, Swearing himself he summoned an unfortunately bright aura ball and created a shield, around Reed that muffled his noise a little.

Reed gasped for breath, once the vision was over. “I- we- He knows where we are.”

Firiko immediately let his shield drop, "Ya'think?!" he said, "You were making so much noise you could've woken the spirits!"

“He knew-he knew before that.” Reed said, angrily wiping at his face. “And sorry.”

"Cool it" said Firiko shifting to wolf form, "Let's just get out of here while we can," he said it with his teeth clenched cause he was holding the powder pouch from before, "Sprinkle this over my fur so we don't get spotted" he said with a sigh.

Reed shook his head, saying, “I don’t think you understand.” As he spoke, several people dropped from surrounding trees, heavily armed. “We aren’t getting away.”

Firiko shifted again drawing his blade, summoning silver aura as he did so. "Yes we are" He growled.

“Stop!” Reed cried. “I saw us both getting hurt because we fought back, just let them take us and we won’t get killed.”

"I Don't back down Reed…" said Firiko softly, "I never have, and I won't start now!!" He let loose a whirlwind of aura, blasting most of the men back before grabbing Reed's arm and running top speed through the underbrush.

(Keyword here being most)
Reed planted his feet, refusing to move any farther. Not like last time. Not like last time. he repeated in his head. “Stop.”

Firiko paused giving Reed a confused stare, "why?!" He asked before turning to stab one guy in the gut and take on two more.

Before Reed could say anything, he felt an odd pressure in his shoulder. He looked, noticed an arrow, raised his eyebrows, and said, “That’s why.” Two men came up behind Reed and Firiko, grabbing Firiko’s arms and Reed’s good shoulder.
