(happy to be here! and finally get a break from life stuffs, but ugh, so much work i still have to do!)

(haha feel free to write one! lol)

(Sounds great to me! haha now we just need to wait for the others)

(ah that's cool with me, I can check with my laptop. Also hello @Raksha! :D)

(ahhyyy hey people!)

(Sorry for lateness! Haha, I forgot Artifact was going to be posted earlier than normal. 'XD)

( @Blood: HEY NOW
DON'T YOU INSULT THE TURTLE BUTT)

(Fading: haha xD)

(hey! glad to see people on!)

(I've forgotten what happened in the last session, at least in Raven's case. I ought to be catching up during this waiting time... 'XD)

(Best of luck @Raksha, hope you can join!)

( @Kole: It's fine, we've been like this for some time. Think of us as equivalents to Kai and Raven. XD)

( @Blood: Lol! XD Although Raven and I are both introverted and logically-minded, Raven is overwhelmingly blunt and apathetic compared to myself.)

(Torens.... not really like me at all lol, Corvell is more like me haha)

( @Kjumoper: Lol XD)

(Meant *Kjumper XDD
@Blood: I do the teasing and insult thing too, but I burn out quickly around people. 'XD)

(I like face to face interactions, talking on the phone makes me want to hang up after 10s)

(And geez, I use the XD face way too often.)

(I AM NOW KJUMOPER! RULER OF ALL)

(also are we just missind pedro?)

(and Whaley)

( @Blood: I get the phone part, but if I'm not good friends with the people I am talking to, I want to hide away after 10 seconds...)

(AhHHH Whaley!! IMA SORRY I FORGOT! my akwardness at its max apperently today)

(*makes whale sounds to summon the Whaley*)

(I'll betcha pedro won't arrive until the original meeting time, and Whaley hasn't been showing up at all recently, so I agree that we start.)

(Alrighty, lets start then (ill just try and message pedro))

( @Blood: True that..... but Whaley has not been in good health lately, so it's probably for her own good that she chooses to not show up.)

(Alright, I vote Kj starts >:))

(Yea thats true, she can join us again when shes ready, :) )

(AhhhhhNOOOO hmmmmmm need to think)

(Sorry KJ, but your character is in the best position to start us off.)

(hahaha)

(hnnngggg)

Toren raced through the forest nearing the edge of town in search of help for the motionless Malakai that he carried. /cra.p he needs help/ "Adara! where are you guys!"

(uhg, i dont do intros lol)

(Hmm... to properly sail, you need the wind and the water. With Fiacail as the swimmer and Adara as the wings, this ship should never sink.
*dies from pathetic puns*)

"Adara where are you?" Toren shouted out again as he continued through the underbrush. /Great hes probably going to need medical attention. at least i got my sword back.../

(Agh, I gotta read up on the last RP - I cannot remember what Raven was doing...)

(Raven: noooooooooo *scuttles away*)

Toren heared adara call his name in reply and quickly changed direction. "Adara!" he ran through the brush, slowing up as he neared adara. "Adara, Malakai needs help" he layed Malakai down on the forest flow.

When Raven came to a rise in the path, he paused to turn back and view the field in which Toren and Malakai had been. He could make out the traders' makeshift camp from where he stood, a transparent cloud of smoke rising from it, but neither shapeshifters could be seen. The centaur idly pondered what had become of them.

"Me? I didn't do anything! He got himself into trouble this time. I think its his shoulder that got the worst of it, though imcould be wrong."

Malakai winced as he opened his eyes, "I'm fine" he growled in barely a whisper.

"oh, uhh.... nothing..." Toren looked away, knowing Adara would be upset if she knew they were out fighting the traders. "Sounds good" he said picking up Malakai again. "lets get him there"

Malakai felt his insides twist in pain as Toren picked him up again, he closed his eyes. //Damn it, I've never felt so pathetic//

(haha yeah)

After carying Malakai into the medics Toren left him in the care of the doctor and sat down on one of the waiting chairs.

Malakai glared at the doctor the whole time as he treated his injuries and gave him pain killers. "It stinks in here, I don't like it" he muttered to himself.

(Gosh darnit im getting called in for work, im sorry guys but im going to have leave! hnngg, feel free to take over Toren again while im gone. Also im thinking we can definitly add the extra charas we were talking about awhile ago.)

(Aww, is that so? Unfortunately, the plot does not move forwards very well with only three people...)

(Raven: I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS!)

(*stalks quietly from corner*)

(True that, unfortunately...)

(I'd have loved to have joined this RP when it began, apart from the small problem of it being hosted at like midnight.

OK, I'll stop stalking your RP-with-only-3-people now. XD)

(because someone's centaur ran off...*clears throat*)

Malakai frowned and reached an arm out, "Can we atleast get out of here?" he looked at the floor, but knew he couldn't walk on his own yet, "The smell of this place will keep me up all night"

( @Blood: What else is Raven supposed to do? Sit around and wait to get eaten by a dragon?? XD)

( @Fading: Fight! Fight! Fight!)

(Unfortunately, fights won't last long in this RP... not with Adara around.)

(That is an incredibly morbid suggestion... let's do it. XDD)

Malakai would have laughed, but even that seemed good to him. He sighed as they exited the building, Toren behind them, he could see the exhaustion on all their faces and feel it to his core.

(Geez, you guys are making me sleepy... I can't think of how to get Raven back to the group like this.)

Malakai reached the forest with their small group, //I don't even care where the others are, I just want to sleep// he yawned, his eyes barely open.

Raven paused to look up at the evening sky, the sun quickly diminishing behind the horizon. //I shouldn't travel at night - who knows what creatures lurk in these lands?// He turned and glanced at Porthouse behind him. //Would it be safe to spend the night there? I wonder if a sudden detour like that might shake the dragon off my tail.//

(My 3ds hates me)

(haha)

(Okay, it's working for now. Are we going to keep going or no?)

Malakai rolled onto his side, resting his head on his arm as he fell asleep.

(I was thinking Kole could finish it off? Or you could?)

(I vote Kole. XD)

(I'm trying to think of a good way to end this, but if Kole comes back before I have one then it's all up to her. XD)

(haha xD)

(Imma give it a go)

Raven wheeled himself around until he was fully facing the direction he had come. //It wouldn't hurt to return to Porthouse to stay the night... even if I do run into that dragon again, it's not like he's gonna kill me. After all, he got his sword back and his friends are no longer in danger - he needn't be angry at me still. Unless...// Raven whipped his spear around and rested it over his shoulder before setting out towards the beachfront city. //Nah, he wouldn't think that vainly. Even the most wicked of species still have hearts... although, a dragon's heart 'is' in the shape of the thing they love most. I wouldn't doubt it if that was his intention the entire time.//

(GOSH DARNIT THAT WAS LONG
AT LEAST IT HAD SUSPENSE THOUGH)

(Haha, thanks @Blood. See you guys later then!)

(see ya! :D)
