Unfortunately I was unable to save the last posts of this RP, but thankfully they're not really neccessary to continue. Here's a synopsis.

DestinsForce let us in in his char's name: Bliss. We finished off the Pirates and are trying to leave the inn without attracting any more trouble. Bliss is perched on my head, Zack has DD in her cat form. The rest of the party is practically non-existant. The last to post was Joe if I'm not mistaken. Take it away!

I think I'm going to drop this.

It's bad enough that I had to change my backstory, but I just can't put Cross in this type of...tone...that the story holds. Unless maybe Sean's character and I had some solo segment.

I have no clue what's going on, I havent read like all the stuff since i screamed HIATUS though I'd like to continue but i have no clue whats going on.

i only got to introduce my character before everything was deleted but i really cant remember anything about it... i guess i'll try and pick up from there

((Well it looks like no ones going to start it, so I'll help you all out. SOMEONE has to pick this thing up off the ground))


::The group was in dissarey, and Zack knew he needed to do something to try and get everyone back on track. He stepped outside of the INN.::
"Come on everyone, let's get moving!" ::He ordered. Hey, if he didn't get them in shape they might fall into another ambush. They seemed to hear him and left the Inn to step outside as well. Zack didn't know where they were suppose to go, but he did know that they couldn't stay were they were. DD was really the leader of the group, but since she was stuck in cat form at least for the time being, Zack took charge, feeling it were his responsibility to take everyone away from the INN which had become a war zone over their newest companion, Bliss.::
:: DD rode in her cat form on Zack's shoulder. He patted her briefly before heading down a hard pakced dirt path that headed out of the city that they had come to on ship. It was time to get out of there.::

DD was content in her spot on Zack's shoulder. It was better then walking. Still it was almost at the point where she could change back, and there were some advantages to having hands and speaking.

((Thanku Natalie! Now we can get going. For now I'd say it's just the four of us trekking here (Heather, Nat, Joe and I) so feel free to pop in somebody to join.))

::Eva paced along after Zack and DD contendedly, humming a folk song (about drinking) to herself. Bliss sat perched on her head after emerging from her kilt. The blue creature seemed to be enjoying the view immensely. Her keen grey eyes watched intently for a safe place to spend the night. They began to pass a wood, and Eva looked for her cue to alert them when they should stop. Soon she found it.::

My comerades, stop! This is where we should spend the night. ::She pointed at the trunk of a very grand, tall tree; an oak.:: This is a sacred oak! See the plant clinging in its braches? It's mistletoe. The druids and ancient Celts believed that a sprig of mistletoe over your door would protect your house and family from sickness and evil spirits. This tree is sacred. We rest here tonight, away from prying eyes and those who would do us harm. When Lady DD comes from her transformation she can counsel us on our next moves.

BLiss let out a weird cry like some one screaming in water and hopped off Eva's head and onto the tree. Bliss coiled around the tree and got to the top branch where a squirl was perched eatting a nut. Bliss observed the squirls and what it was eatting. The squril didn't like it and hissed at Bliss. Bliss made a surprised look and then hissed back. The squirl and Bliss began a hissing contest with eachother. Bliss morphed into a squirl shape and hiss real loudly and stretched it's body to tower over the squirl. The squirl ran away and threw the nut at Bliss. The nut got caught in bliss who was confused as to what happen. The nut desolved inside Bliss (that's Bliss'es form of eatting), but the force of the thrown nut was too much and Bliss fell. Bliss made a weird shriek on the way down...but thankfully...bliss took the form of a flat shape and glided down safly to the ground. Bliss giggled with excitemeny.....untiil a branch came down and landed right on top of Bliss.

::Zack had been very dismal ever since they had gotten on that boat to come to this new world. He hadn't cracked any jokes, attempted to make small talk, and he hadn't even in the slightest bit smiled. But seeing Bliss get in a fight with a squirrel, and then fall out of a tree was too much. A smile cracked his gloomy appearence, and soon the smile grew until he were chuckeling. The chuckle grew into a laugh as Bliss floated down to the ground once more. Finally Zack started to calm and he looked at Eva, the only other human in their group at the moment. He sighed.::

"Guess I needed a good laugh." ::He peered up at the mistletoe that hung from the tree above them, then looked back to Eva, a smile still on his face from Bliss's stunt.:: "You know, where I'm from, if you stand underneath mistletoe with a person of the opposit sex, you're suppose to kiss them." ::He said. Zack glanced at DD, sighing a bit. He wished she would change back soon, he missed her company. After all, the two had been through Hell together, and a different kind of Hell before they had met. Never-the-less they understood one another, and it was nice to talk with someone who had been in similar circumstances as he. Zack could not deny that he was growing quite fond of DD.::

((FYI, for this rp I'm gunna pretend Rose (from my book, not BAC) doesn't exsist, because I see some potential here for some love side stories or something. I figured I'd throw in some spice since there are only four of us all of a sudden))

DD felt her energy peak. She softly snuck off to a secluded spot out of sight from the rest of the group. It was strange enough feeling the change she didn't want bliss to take interest and mimic it. Her form twisted and glowed with blue fire lengthening and shifting back to her Simi human state. Her armor reappeared and then her cloak. She pulled the hood back up then made her way back to the group.
"Hello again."She said as she took a seat leaning on the oak. "now that I can talk lets do what Eva suggested and discuss our plans for our next move. We are at the edge of.. his territory." She couldn't help but hesitate before even referring to him. She still knew so little about him. Yet she remembered too much "At the last town I wanted to purchase a few non magical weapons for myself, but all the fighting left me no time.. In the future we must not rely on our magic, he will find us by it. We must use it sparingly if at all. From this point on i will refrain from taking any other form, and we should not discuss shifting aloud. Except of course when we are reffering to bliss. As powerful as we are he has his master behind him. His power is not from this plane. The things he has done to gain his power.." She closed her eyes and saw him faceless but radiating dark malevolent power. "I would have never escaped him if he had not been concentrating on his next stage." DD looked down at the grass. She didn't want to tell them yet, but ever since she had stepped on to the ground of this land she had felt a pull. It was weak now but soon... She didn't want to think about it. "We just have to be careful that's all."

::Zack listened as DD gave her speach. But he was distracted from her words when he saw her pained eyes when she spoke about "him." She was very good at hiding her pain, just as good at it as Zack was. But never-the-less he saw it as clear as day, just as he was sure DD was able to see his when it came up. Zack had to actually look away from her in order to hear what she was saying once more. When she was done he nodded in agreement.::
"You're absolutly right...we should be careful, those pirates were...well...not a good way for us to start out journy here." ::He glanced up at the setting sun through the branches of the mistletoe tree, then looked back to his group.:: "And we probably should get weapons. But I will be quite honesy with you all...I was never good with one. I've always relied on my magic, and when I didn't have it, I used fists. A weapon I'm no good with. SO if we get one, perhaps somene would like to teach my how to use it." ::He suggested, not the least bit ashamed at his inexperience with a blade.::

::Eva watched Bliss fight and get himself into his curious adventures. She chuckled. She smiled widely as Zack laughed, releasing some of his cares into gaeity. His aura instantly felt lighter. She tossed back her mane of long brown hair, a twinkle in her eye. Zack said::

"You know, where I'm from, if you stand underneath mistletoe with a person of the opposite sex, you're supposed to kiss them." ::Eva chuckled.::

Yes, I know of that tradition, at Christmas. ::Her smile took on a different element, from amusement to a look of dreaming.:: A kiss.. such a thing I have not thought of for a long time. ::She turned her head toward the moon and a pause came over them. But soon it was ended by the reappearance of DD, in her usual form. She stood up straight and listened to DD's plan. They would need some weapons.. Eva had her Claymore of course, but that would only serve her as used as she was to it. Nevertheless she could teach Zack, who wasn't adept with weapons, to shoot and wield a sword.::

Leave the weapons to me, Lady. For the time I have two long knives that will serve you both some protection. ::She removed from her back one knife in a leather sheath and the other from her left thigh. She unsheathed one and showed them the blade, about nine inches long, curved slightly and razorsharp; a Celtic leaf blade. She handed this to DD along with the sheath. The second she gave to Zack.:: You will not need to use it unless in close combat. I shall train you with it. ::She unhitched her bow and quiver, then drew out her Claymore.:: These will take a little more practise. Lord Zack if you would, test yourself with this. If you can wield it then we'll see about getting one for you. Otherwise I shall find you a good broadsword. ::She flipped the blade hilt up and held it out to him.::

((Notes on the Claymore: This is a heavy, two-handed Scottish broadsword that was held by William Wallace, aka Braveheart, and can be almost as tall as the person who wields it. A Claymore is about five feet long from tip to the end of the handle.))

DD unsheathed the blade and smiled at the moonlight glinting off it. It was a good weapon..
"This is a fine start, but there is.. Something else I shall look for when we get to the next town through this forest. I can't tell you what I am looking for but when I find my weapons I know that the way to use them will come to me. There is much I have forgotten from my past. My daemon half was well versed in a certain kind of blade." DD was also hesitant to discuss that she was half daemon as well as half humon, although her apearence made it plain. Yet she knew that it was a part of her and admitted it. She had embraced that half of her but she had not yet unleashed it's full powers. Truth be told she was afraid to.

::Zack took the Claymore in his hands and as Eva let it go he instantly felt it's weight. He frowned unsure of himself.::
"I dunno...seems too cumbersome for me...." ::He admitted. He stared at it, then decided to fess up to his team mates.:: "I never liked weapons, I feel like I'm in more dnager with one then without one. Especially this. I feel like I'd easily get killed trying to lug this thing around...I think I'll be much better with the knife, or a broad sword which you suggested..." ::He said to Eva. Just holding it made him feel awkward ans small. He was 5'11" and he had a nice medium build thanks to hard fighting and living in a woods, but still the weapon felt cumbersome. Maybe it was suppose to? He didn't really know. Either way he felt nervous with it in his palms. He flet more like he were holding a giant axe rather then a sword. Finally Zack handed the weapon back to Eva::
"Hey besides, I'm a beginner...maybe we should start with me using the knife first anyways. I could use some Major tips!" ::He gave a half lopsided smile::

DD grinned back. "Well, we have plenty of time to learn. If you want you can have this dagger for now. After all I do have a set of natural weapons." She put her hand out and extended her set of long sharp claws. She smirked then redrew them.

((yeah, i'm out. I cant make heads nor tails of this.))

((I'm trying to get things moving so if I'm moding a bit don't kill me.))

::The three had discussed their plans for the next day which consisted of practicing with their weapons in the morning, then moving on out toward their destination which was still several days if not weeks away. They discussed maybe seeing if they could stay at another town, but it depended upon how much danger their was. In the end they decided it might just be safer to buy their weapons and leave.::
::Finally the group started to wind down. After all, it WAS late at night. Zack wasn't sure how his new friends Eva and Bliss would be sleeping, but he for one would be sleeping the way he always had. Quickly he hopped up into the misteltow tree's branches, hugging one to help him up. He judged his distance from the groud to himself, thought about it, then went up another level. Zack sat in the mid branches, then decided it would do.::
::He knew that there was probably no purpous to him hiding in trees anymore since 1 he wasn't on Earth, and 2 he had a group of friends with him now so it was unlikely he'd be attacked by surprise, but still old habits died hard. He curled up on his branch findind a posistion so he would not fall out of the tree, then slowly closed his eyes. Before his he could see where his team mates would be sleeping, he fell into the hands of the night.::

::His golden hair was matted to his fourhead, both hair and skin, sweat covered. He was also curled up into the tightest little ball you ever could see. A glimmering drop of something fell to the forest floor below him, and it had most likely been a tear. The teenage boy took in deep shuddering breaths, then exhailed them quickly and loudly. It was impossible to tell if he were awake or not. Finally he his entire body jerked, seeming to convuls. He gasped, then sat up with a start his hands rising to an almost defensive fighting position. Zack blinked looked around, then visabley started to calm. He ran a hand through his tangled sweat covered hair.::
"Damned nightmares!" ::He growled angrily in the dark. Zack had started to look for DD in the tree with him to see if he had awoken her by mistake when he saw the dark figure sitting on the branch next to him. It was too dark to tell, but it could have been either DD or Eva, judging by the famale outline of the shadow. His cheeks turned crimson, someone had heard, and it was ALWAYS embaressing. Even if it was DD who had dealt with this nightly ritual several times, it would never stop to be embaressing.::
"Sorry." ::Zack quickly apologized.::

((I left this open specifically so that any one who wants to jump in can. Joe, it could even be you morohed as one of them or something. I just want to get this thing movin a bit.))

Bliss herd all the commotion and growled while forming spikes on it's gel surface. After retracting the jelly spikes back into itself it lunged at the moving figure. It engulfed it's face.....then relized it was only Zach. Bliss made a sorry look on it's eye and then quickly scooted off higer into the tree all the way into the top to avoid the yelling that zach might do at it. Bliss let out a sigh of relief with a noise that sounded like a flat tire deflating. Maybe in the morning Zach will forget about the blobby attack..and maybe get an acorn or 2..those were good

DD couldn't sleep. She had tried but her dreams were dark and shapeless. She had tossed and turned (as much as her tree branch bed allowed) and finally awakened with a sense of longing. For what she was not sure.
She had sat up and leaned back against the trunk of the tree simply staring out into the night. soon enough the calm was broken by Zacks harshly uttered
Damned nightmares!" He noticed her then quickly said
"Sorry." Bliss had then whacked him in the face. She suppressed a giggle.
"It's okay." She said softly. "I couldn't sleep myself."

::Zack tried to smile, but failed in the most miserable way a person could, because instead of smiling, his eyes watered. He scoffed at himself.::
"Guess both of us can't escape ourselves at night, can we?" ::He asked. It was as if he had already forgotten all about Bliss's blob attack.:: "I know you're demons are just as wicked as mine...so I don't even know why I'm complaining."

::Eva was away from the others, softly counting the stars and playing the pan pipes dreamily. She always slept irratically and didn't need it often. Someone needed to stay awake and watch over the others.. Her melody swept through the trees like wind, sounding like dryads singing. She played lively tunes quick like a fiddle at a square dance and then slipped into tunes soft as moonrays on the steady lake. A commotion sounded from the oak tree. Eva played her last note and went to investigate.::

"Yea well.." DD wanted to shrug it off, but couldn't "We all have demons.. I just happen to be half of one. We can't help being angry at them" She spoke in what she thought was a light tone but knew that it didn't come out that way at all. She paused for a second and silence ruled. "Have you ever.. wanted to hurt someone? Someone who didn't do anything to you? Just because you can't stand the fact that you were hurt? Just because you wanted to drown out your own pain?" She paused again. "Some times.. I get these thoughts.. dark and violent and as much as I want to push them off as his taint.. I know they are my own." She looked up at the stars so she wouldn't have to look at him. "They are my own demons "

::Zack listened to DD as she spoke. Then quietly responded.::
"Yes...there have been times....wher I've been so full of rage, and hate....and pain...that I've wanted to hurt people who had done nothing wrong to me. Sometimes...those typs of feelings can drive you insaine." ::He said. Zack turned to her, making out what he could of her in the darkness.:: "But you know, we're really not doing so bad! I mean...I remember when my insides were dead. I remember...everything about me being dead. I'm not like that anymore, and neither are you! I feel a lot of things now other then hate and pain." ::He said. Zack looked up at Bliss who was seated a few branches above them. Zack smiled.:: "I mean, I can laugh and smile now. And you can too. I've seen you. We're really not as bad off as we think sometimes." ::He leaned back on his branch as if this closed the subject for good. But he knew it would come up time and time again for the rest of their lives. It would simply grow less frequent.::
"Let's try to get some rest...we've got a lot to do tomorrow."

::Eva heard grave voices speaking and knew she should not intrude.. for one thing being grave was not something she could do. And secondly she knew they would not want her to hear their counsel. Eva made her way back under the tree she had settled by and planted herself firmly in the roots. She nestled down and started playing again, sending a sweet lullably-like tune her comerades' way.. it was a song Titania had taught her to put people and animals to sleep.. handy in battle and to tame restless horses. Eva breathed in deeply the crisp night air. The faintest smell of apples hung in it. Eva wondered where Bliss had gotten to. Morning would come soon and Eva would buy a few weapons to train them with. They could hide in the wood as long as they needed and then they'd be on their way.::

Bliss heard the tune of the pan flute and found it quite nice. Bliss formed himself into a pillar shape and began to sway back and forth really slowyly. The eye inside was closed halfway like it was sleep walking. The vibrations of the flute gave a nice feeling in bliss's body and cause the molocules to dance and vibrate. Bliss was in a trance and began to slither down the tree to get a closer look.

DD sighed softly and turned away. As much as Zack understood her there were some things... A soft melody floated upward. It could not comfort her for she just was not in the mood. She didn't want to sleep. Dreams could be worse then reality. Yet soon enough sleep crept up on her.
She was in a maze. Someone was calling her name. Someone needed her. She desperately wanted to find the voice. She had to get to it, but all she could do was get further and further lost in the winding passages..

::Zack had tried to fall back to sleep, but was having much difficulty. After a few long moments of listening to Eva's tune, he did something completely un-Zack like: he climbed out and dwn the tree and to the ground. He walked over to the spot where Eva sat between two roots playing her instrument which he did not know the name of. The sound was nice...and he wanted company. Zack felt lonely a lot lately, and hoping Eva wouldn't ask questions (For Zack would give non) he walked over to her. Then spontaniously sat down, and leaned himself up against her side, cuddeling up. He leaned his head ontop of her's, then closed his eyes. He felt better already, and within an instant drifted off to sleep.::

::Eva blushed like a young maiden on a spring day. Zack had come from nowhere and rested himself on her like she was a pillow. Her tune must've been more potent than she thought.. softly she continued playing and did not move for fear of disturbing him. It was an odd feeling, to have someone cuddle her. She'd never had much contact with those her own age, only elders and young children. How could she get to know young men and ladies when she was off killing all the time, or with the faeries? Suddenly Eva began to wonder if she had missed out on her youth.. she was raised as a changeling and a warrioress. She hadn't known any mother but Titania, and no father but Oberon. The first human she had met was an old man, and she was to young to love. Instead she learned to love the sword and the battlefield. She learned to crave honour and conquest, not company or soft words.. and yet she was still human. She yet had a human heart and it could be bewitched and broken.. Her playing began to waver and a hot tear rolled down her cheek. The things she felt were too much for her.. they overwhelmed her soul and the overflow trickled from her eye. She lowered the pipes to her lap and raised the back of her hand to her cheek... she had never cried a single tear in her life. Eva looked up into the sky and a million eyes twinkled back at her. Gently she lifted Zack's form from where he lay titled on her side.. she laid his head in the soft folds of her kilt. She hoped he'd be more comfortable... she lifted the pipes again and began to play.. the wavering notes poured out her feelings... the sweetest tune that could ever be played haunted the forest around them... she let her overflowing feelings sail away from her pipes into the air.. for the longest time she kept her eyes closed and played a tune that was written at that moment within her own soul. The visions in her eyes were of green fields, galloping horses, soft red roses.. all the things in nature she had ever loved.. faery roundels at midnight, twinkling stars, oceans after storms.. At the last few notes, Eva opened her eyes and beheld Zack's sleeping face, golden in the moonlight across his hair, full of peace.. she was overwhelmed again and fell back against the tree, sound asleep.::

DD Eyes snapped open. Her dream vanished like the mist. The sun had not yet risen, but its rays had already lightened the sky. She was hungry. She silently stood on the branch Then leaped off landing softly with nearly no sound on the forest floor. When she leaped out of trees on purpose she never had a problem with landing on her feet. She looked up and Saw Zack Sleeping on Eva and Eva sleeping against the tree. The sight made her happy but also a little sad. She didn't really know why. Still she was hungry and wanted a little time to herself before she was joined in awareness by the others. She quickly but softy snuck off into the woods to hunt some breakfast. Zack would know what she was up to from past experience.

(*snort* This is great guys!)

::Once the sun had risen above the horizon line Zack moved slightly, then awoke. When the sun's light shimmered across his hair and face, he opened his deep brown eyes in order to see the day. He always woke up right at sunrise. It was sort of an internal alarm clock. He then blinked in confusion. He was not in a tree, and judging by the softness under his head, definatly not on a branch. He sat up alarmed then looked around to find himself on the ground. He looked over and found Eva sleeping leaned up against the base of the mistletoe tree. He blinked, then seeing the ruffles in her ilt blushed. Had he fallen asleep with his head in her lap? He had not even remembered shiting into that posistion. He frowned wondering if it had been the song that had somehow enchanted him. He stood up and shook his head as if trying to shake some sense into himself.::
::He looked up into the tree and smiled broadly when he found Bliss sleeping rapped around a tree branch, hs red eye closed in rest. Zack looked around a bit more for DD, but did not see her. She must have gone hunting. He thought. Now he didn't know WHAT to do. Usually if he were the first one up, he would take it upon himself to get food for the entire group, but it looked like DD was already doing that. His job taken he was at a loss. He ahd to help in some way, or he'd go nuts, so he started wlaking around their little area collecting firewood. They'd ahve to cook whatever DD brought back afterall.

(bite scrath hurt pain) a whole bunch of noises were coming from the tree. The canopy was shaking violenly and chirps and screeched of all kinds can be heard coming from there. Then a huge ball started fall down the tree scraping and hitting the branches on the way down until finally it hit the ground and can now be seen. It was bliss but the eye was looking all angry, reason being he was engaging another squirl in a fight. The squirl looked at Bliss and Bliss looked back, in the squirls hand was another acorn that Bliss hoped to eat. The squirl wasn't going to give up anytime soon. Bliss leaped at the squirl, the squirl dodged and began to run away with the acorn in it's mouth. Bliss recovered from the failed attack and made a gasping noise as the squirl began to ru away. Bliss laid for a moment then began to frizzle it's body and growl. Bliss then made another chase after the squirl off into the woods to retrieve the delisious acorn.

::Zack watched for a few moments before bursting into laughter. His musical laugh filled the forest air as his face conveyed great joy at witnessing such a battle. He dropped his fire wood into a pile, then as Bliss ran into the wood to chase the little squirrel, Zack went acorn hunting. There was still a great grin on his face as he bent over picking up acorns that seemed to be everywhere. Zack had to do something for the little blue creature. Afterall, it seemed that Bliss was the only thing on and out of Earth that could make him laugh, and bring him into a good mood. Finally he had collected a decent amount, and he held onto them waiting for Bliss to come back.::
"Hey Bliss! I found something that the squirrels didn't get yet!" ::He called hoping to attracked his attention::

Bliss was tumbling in a brawl with the squirl when they both stopped fighting. Bliss's eye turned to the vocie., back to the squirl and then to the voice again. Bliss took off like a dart all the way back to the camp site. HE could see zach appear over the bend more and more. He seemed to be glimmering with the acorns in his arms with the angels singing and achs face glimmering. Then ina quick flash Bliss leaped in the air making a squacking noise and pelted zach right in the face.

"ACK!" ::He cried then fell backward onto the forest floor, acorns scattering everywhere.:: "Hey what's the deal!?!" ::He asked, somewhat annoyed but not hurt:: "I got those for you ya know. You didn't have to kill me for them!" ::He said jokingly in a better mood already.::

The hunting was good. It satisfied a deep need in her. Not to mention she was very good at it. She was made to hunt. The poor rabbits did not have a chance. Suddenly she shuddered as the thought of humans screaming like the rabbits did at the moment of death popped into her head. It ruined what had started out as a good mood. She shivered as she licked the blood off her claws. She knew it was her link to him. She wanted to sever it that much more for every impure thought the link gave her. She picked up the rabbits by their ears. She had slashed their throats in death to drain their blood. if the blood was not drained the meat would not be suitable to eat. She carried all three back to camp. They were pleasantly plump, having dined on fall's harvest. They would make a good breakfast.
Slowly camp came in to view Zack was up and had decided to wrestle Bliss it appeared. DD giggled.
"Hey you two save that energy for the bad guy!"

::The commotion with Bliss had woken Eva up. For a few minutes she had no idea where she was or what she was doing and she wondered more why she had been sleeping! She picked herself and straightened out her mussed kilt. Then Zack's voice called out to Bliss and she snapped her head in his direction. She caught Bliss pelting him in the face for a handful of acorns and then watched Bliss greedily chow down on them. But even more captivating was Zack's face full of joy. Eva caught herself staring. She'd never been so shy in her life! Eva had to rub her temples for a moment, and she tore her eyes away from Zack. Her face felt hot.::

What has come over me... ::She turned and hid herself behind the oak until her blush dispelled. DD was nowhere in sight, and she knew she couldn't get away without letting someone know. She gritted her teeth and went for it. She burst from behind the oak tree with her head bowed. Very hastily she called out::

Zack, I'm going to market to fetch some weapons! Please let the Lady know! ::Eva scurried off, doubtlessly leaving Zack very confused. Once she was a good distance from the wood, she slowed to a walk and released her held breath. As she always did when she was alone she began talking to herself.::

What has come over me? I'm just not used to being with others... ::She rubbed her palms over her face like one normally does when stressed.:: I must get a hold of myself.. I'll dispell these feelings in a good fight! That must be it.. I haven't had a good fight since those pirates and they weren't much of a challenge! ::She clenched her fist in the air and a manic glint was back in her eye. She felt much more invigorated now. Her weakness was due to a lack of training.. a few minutes with her sword would straighten her feelings out. With her head up, she strolled into a market and wandered towards the blacksmith's shop.::

Bliss desolved all the acorns in it's membrane like body and make high pitched chirps. Bliss hopped onto Zach's head and began waving back and forth with a happy look in it's eye.

::Zack laughed as Bliss scarfed down his acorns, then turned as Eva walked over to him. He was about to wish her a good mornign when she blurted out that she'd be going to town to buy their weapons, then hurried off intot he woods. Zack blinked, confused as Bliss sat on his head. Zack looked up into his one red eye.::
"Uh...did I say something?" ::He asked the creature. Zack would have normally offered to go with her, accompanying a lady to town seemed the proper thing to do, but she was already long gone. Instead he stood up brushing himself off, Bliss still on his head. He looked to DD who ahd just come into the clearing and commented on his and Bliss's horseplay. He grinned widely.::
"How are we suppose to save that for the enemy? We won't be joking around with Him!" ::Zack said truthfully.:: "Oh, and byt he way, Eva went off to town to get our weapons, she didn't seem to want to wait for us to go with her." ::He said, reaching up and hand and stroking Bliss absent mindedly.::

::Eva hummed softly feeling back to her old self. She'd wandered the blacksmith's shoppe for a little while and already come across a beautifully crafted, lightweight broadsword for Zack. She had picked it because it was the perfect size and weight for him, and the hilt was beautifully crafted. It was inlaid with silver, and a single, brightly gleaming sapphire was set over the leather-bound handle. It looked as if it was made for him... Eva sheathed it in the leather scabbard. The sword was beautifully crafted. Yes, it would suit him well. Eva's eyes were solemn. She looked away from the sword and lowered it. She occupied her mind with looking for a weapon for the Lady. Nothing had attracted her eye yet.. She glanced over the next section of wares and there they were. A pair of glittering sais hung on the wall. Eva snapped one of them up and examined it. It was sturdy and tightly forged, and beautiful. It was patterned with scales and forged into one solid piece, and razor-sharp. Eva wrapped these in soft leather, and paid for both. She also got three longbows and quivers and as many arrows as she could. Luckily she got a good deal from the kind-hearted blacksmith. Eva made her way back towards camp. She had a spring in her step and a glimmer in her eye. In no time she arrived back under the oak and proudly displayed her finds. She handed the sais to DD.::

Saw these and I thought of ye, Lady. Thought they'd make a nice addition to your fight.

DD Grinned at Zack well we can at least get breakfast started. Here you skin these I'll start a fire. After cooing a few words to her hands a small blue fire sprung into being. She gently placed it on to the fire wood were it took on a natural color.
After zack Skinned the rabbits she put them on a stick then place two y shaped sticks over the fire. Next she place the skewered rabbits over the fire resting them on the y sticks. By the time that was done Eva had returned.
She handed DD the sais.
"Saw these and I thought of ye, Lady. Thought they'd make a nice addition to your fight. " DD's eyes grew large. They were perfect. Just what she wanted. The metal in the blades of each sai was made up of fine scales so tiny and well fuzed they appeared perfectly smooth until close examination. She knew that they would be the only weapons for her. "Thank you Eva, they are more then perfect."
