Flynn was following closely behind Yuri. It appeared as though there was a problem with Raven. The poor old man was hurt, badly. This group just could not catch a break it seemed, and even worse was the lack of a regular medic on site(Nila, it seemed, had vanished).
"Come on, Captain. You need to rest at camp. Take my shoulder and I'll take you back."
It wasn't too complicated. Flynn would help raven into camp, while Yuri kept an eye out for monsters.
Vera was growing bored of the duty she had though. So bored in fact, that she started attacking trees and rocks around them to practice. She was so impatient sometimes.
Iris, on the other hand, was very much busy.
"Hey, guy from another world." she gave him a moment to realize that meant Tohru. "Do they have magic to give people new limbs in your world? I could use one right about now. And on top of that, I could always use a chest enhancement." She laughed lightly and shivered. "Kidding, but the arm would be nice. Is that something you guys do over in whereveritisland?"

Repede barked, allowing his tail to move just the slightest bit before he turned, nodding his head in the general direction of the camp, hoping this stranger would follow him. Sure, he didn't know who he was, but not even Repede would leave someone injured in the forest, as evident earlier with his encounter with Raven. Still, because this human wouldn't understand him, Repede could only hope that he would follow him back to the campsite. ------------------------- "You got him, Flynn?" Yuri asked, watching the two carefully as he stood up, ready to act just in case. A sudden weight on his leg caught his attention, however, as he once again glanced down at the child, who was... clinging to him. He sighed softly, reaching out and patting him on the head. Seriously, if this was the same kid that had tried to kill Flynn earlier, then this was one hell of a personality change. "Hey... just follow him, okay?" Almost as if on cue, he heard a shuffle in the bushes, clearly able to spot some hungry eyes peering through. Monsters. "Come on," he said a bit testily, unsheathing his sword in case of an attack, already leading the way back to camp (slowly, though, so they wouldn't hurt Raven anymore than he was now). "Let's get out of here." ---------------------------------- It took Tohru a moment to register that Iris was talking to him, looking to her as she asked her questions, said her things. Honestly, she was truly a strange one. He smiled slightly, almost apologetically. "Healers in my world could reattach a limb within a certain time span," he answered. "However, I'm not skilled in that kind of magic. And it's likely already passed the recovery time." He took a deep breath, shifting slightly so he could place his left hand flat on the ground, focusing a moment until his boomerang came out. "I'm more focused on magic dealing with metal. Earth is just my secondary specialty."As if to demonstrate, he placed his hand flat on his boomerang, once again focusing for a mere moment before lifting his hand. Following it was a drop of metal, taken from the boomerang itself, though it still retained its perfect shape. "Theoretically, I could make you an arm," he said, closing his hand around the 'metal droplet.' "However, I'd need enough to do so. It doesn't just appear out of thin air." Unclenching his hand revealed the 'metal drop' to be in a different shape, the form of a four-petaled flower.

Raven sighed, it hurt to even move the littlest bit. But ignoring that fact, he grabbed onto Flynn's shoulder as he had told him to. Looking back at Yuri, Raven saw that he now had his sword out, and he could see monsters eyes peeking out at everyone. Now, an even bigger sigh came from the old man as he looked at them, they looked as if they would attack any moment now, and they didn't look weak either. Obviously they would need to hurry.

Vera had no idea that monsters lay in waiting just beyond the other side from where she was. She blissfully swung away at her imaginary enemies, their imaginary screams of pain filling her with not-so-imaginary joy.
Flynn knew there would be a problem. He would probably need to get moving, very quickly. But he couldn't leave Yuri and this kid alone, that would just be awful. He grabbed Raven's arm lightly, ensuring he wouldn't get hurt, and began to head back to camp.
"Yuri, I'll be right back. Can you fend them off?" He asked, the monsters hadn't attacked yet making it a very bad idea to shout.
Iris, smiling, decided to stand up and move over to him. With a kiss on the cheek, she backed away from Tohru, and kneeled down.
"So if I found you a giant hunk of metal, you could make me an arm? That's just adorably sweet of you." she said, contemplating what marvels a bionic arm could do for her. Would it increase her strength? Would it be cold to the touch? How would it work?
[[Make her stop thinking, it's taking up post space]] :;Hush you, we need the space to explain her train of thought.:: "You mean the train of thought you just ruined?!" She shouted at the sky.
[[Jerk.]]
Embarrassed, she blushed a little.
"Er... Sorry, my friends like to ramble in the background."

Karol looked around, and got tired of waiting for Yuri to get back, beginning to run towards where Yuri had ran off to earlier. He finally made it to Yuri. His eyes widened when seeing Raven was bleeding and that his bones were obviously broken. " Raven! " He said, looking at him. So he was right, all of that worrying must have jinxed it or something. " Yuri, what ha-- " He cut himself off as he looked around, eyes glaring at them. He quickly pulled out his axe and looked at Yuri. " What happened to Raven? " He finished his sentence off, holding out his axe when realizing the monsters were about to attack him and Yuri.

What other leads did he have? He was not of this world, he knew nothing about its whereabouts, he knew nothing of his culture- and he was weak and tired. Following the dog would be the only type of chance he had at finding a safe haven of sorts; after all, it may have a master, and if it didnt... Well, he would leave, and keep walking. His legs seemed to drag, and given all his efforts, he couldnt hide his exhaustion and could not walk with correct posture. 'This is going to be a long day', he mused in thought. He tripped over a branch, but managed to not fall, and composed himself. " Oh my... " he sighed at his own weakness; luckily there was no one to see him this pathetic, right? Jade and Repede approached where Repede's group was.

He had to think about that one for a second. Make her an arm? Well, it was possible. "I could try," he finally said, taking the metal back and putting it back into his boomerang, allowing the thing to vanish entirely for the time being. "I'll make no promises, though."Tohru smiled a little sadly, not really sure... what to say as Iris began talking to herself again. He remembered once a soldier who once had gone mad after far too much bloodshed, and how they had just... snapped. His only consolation was that Iris hadn't reached that point... not yet, anyway. She was strong. "It's fine, really," he answered, shaking his head a little. Repede was careful to choose an easy path, sensing his new-found companion's exhaustion. It was easy enough, especially since most of the monsters appeared to be distracted for one reason or another (probably because they could smell Raven from a mile away, but he wasn't going to think about that). Sure enough, they soon came up to the campsite, and Repede jumped out in the open first so that they could see him. It appeared only Tohru, Iris, and Vera were there. The foreigner looked slightly confused, the Krityan was god-knows-where, and Iris? Well... Iris was just... insane. He huffed, looking back at Jade. He would be safe here, and he hoped the human knew it. Repede approached scanned around, finding Yuri's bag and ruffling through it. "H-Hey!" Tohru started, already going over to try and stop the dog, but a simple look had him stopping in his tracks. Curious, confused, and admittedly a little frightened, he watched as Repede pulled out a blanket, dragging it over and laying it out next to the fire before looking back at the forest, barking once, indicating that Jade should come. ------------------------------- "Heh." Yuri shouldered Second Star, getting into his familiar battle stance as the monsters just kept approaching, closer and closer, determined for that one taste of blood. "Who the hell do you think you're talking to? Last I checked, I was the stronger one now. Remember Aurnion?" One of the monsters - a wolf, it seemed - suddenly leaped out. He heard a cry, not even thinking before he effectively swung his sword and batted the wolf away, getting himself between the monsters and his friends... "Karol," he called, looking down at the boy-in-question, "take this kid and get him outta here." He couldn't fight with a child clinging to his leg. And these wolves would catch up to them in no time if they just ran.

Karol looked at Yuri, hoping his question would be answered, but instead he was given an order. " Mmm.... Alright! " He nodded at him as he walked over to the kid, yanking him away from Yuri. " Come on, we have to get out of here. " He told Alex, staring at him, hoping that he would listen to him and follow him, because if he didn't.... Oh god, there came the force of carrying.

This did not feel entirely right to him, since he had never met these people before, but he didn't have any other choice. He proceeded into the clearing, and grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around himself before laying down- Noting this animal's kindness, and very grateful for it. " Thank you" he mumbled- - mumbling because he was too tired to speak clearly- - and closed his eyes. It did not feel right to do this before introducing himself to the others... He thought, but as he was going to introduce himself, he already fell asleep. He had pretty much passed out the moment he had closed his eyes.

Flynn dropped Raven off, and grabbed Torrent, then hurried back. it was much heavier than he anticipated. How was Yuri lifting this thing?! Thankfully the fight wasn't too far away, as Flynn returned with Torrent in hand.
"Yuri, use this!" he shouted, seeing the fight had already begun, and dropped it where he was. He then returned to the fight, taking his own blade in hand and preparing for the approaching monsters. There were thankfully not many, and they seemed considerably weaker than most monsters could be.
Vera had by this point found the commotion and joined the fight from behind, ambushing and flanking the wolves.
Iris passed out from exhaustion. The stresses of the day finally got to her.
[[Lazy. She better wake up next post.]]
Her head landed in Tohru's lap, and she smiled in her state of unconsciousness.

"E-Eh?" The kid was startled when he was suddenly grabbed, almost tempted to run back to Yuri, but he eventually went off with Karol back to camp. Yuri, meanwhile, was having a fairly easy time deflecting the wolves, but because of their numbers, he wasn't actually able to land any killing blows. Gritting his teeth and tightening his grip on his sword, he did his best to keep them at bay, at least until Flynn arrived. And, sure enough, Flynn came after a short time, along with Vera and... Torrent? It looked to him that his childhood friend was having trouble carrying it. "And how the hell am I supposed to fight with two weapons?" he sighed, slightly irritated, but he figured he'd give it a show anyway. He grabbed Torrent in his free hand, wondering how he was going to do this. He was ambidextrous, sure, but he'd never really fought with two weapons before. This would be interesting. --------------------------------------------------- Tohru was slightly surprised when Iris passed out, naturally catching her before she got hurt, only to have her resting in his lap now. Sighing softly, he looked to Repede and his... newest visitor, who had also passed out almost instantly upon arrival. Still, the foreigner figured that if the dog had led him, he must be an okay person. Their group just seemed to be getting stranger and stranger people. Shortly after, he saw Karol come out, and Vera had seemingly vanished. What shocked him most, however, was the blue-haired child following the young guild member. "A-Alex... ?" he whispered. All he received was a confused glance, and it was with a painful pang that he had a stroke of realization. Alex didn't remember him. How had he turned into a child, anyway?

Karol lead Alex back to where Raven was, and at that same place was Repede and.... someone else. He ignored Tohru coming, slightly, looking to the side seeing that the man with Repede seemed to be completely exhausted, giving it away that he was asleep. And next to him was Raven, bleeding and also asleep. What was this place, an outside hospital? Karol then looked back at Alex and Tohru. " You two stay here, okay? We need to stop those monsters from hurting anyone. " He told them, taking out his ax and running back to Yuri.

Iris moved a bit in her sleep, before waking again very quickly. She was going to get a sleep disorder at this rate. Her eyes narrowed to see that she wasn't seeing any boxes. no word bubbles, no thought bubbles... nothing. While scared at first, she started to rationalize it... This was the real world, wasn't it? This was what everyone else saw, right?
"The voices... They're gone. What? How?"
She blinked rapidly, seeing that her inner monologue hadn't started, and that her two 'friends' had vanished. What was this? Was it because of the magic from the foreigner?
"You... What are you? Just being around you, I'm cured of aer sickness. Srop me if I'm gushing."
There was a child present, though, and she realized she should withhold her commentary until things were settled here. My, what a difference in how she acted.
It wouldn't last though. The moment she left this man's side for even half a minute, she would snap back to crazy Iris.
Flynn knew Yuri could handle it. His artes would work again so long as he held Torrent, of this he knew. He had intuition about it. They would not lose. Vera, on the other hand, could give two damns less about artes. She spun and danced and hacked away at the monsters from behind, giving Yuri and Flynn a great distraction.

Everything was getting rather confusing all at once. Alex was here yet had appeared as a child. Flynn and Karol had brought him and an injured Raven back to camp then left. Iris was awake and appeared to be cured of aer sickness. Yuri's dog had come in with a stranger who was now currently sleeping, exhausted, and now Repede was acting the guard because Vera had also gone off into the forest. What should he be addressing first? "I... "He grit his teeth, unable to think of a proper answer to her questions. How could he? He didn't even understand anything himself. He was human. And he was damn sure he was human. Mentally sighing, Tohru carefully lifted Iris into a sitting position. "I'm going to help him," he said, indicating Raven with small hand gesture as he got up and moved (thank god he had enough energy to move again). It was easy enough to find some bandages and what could only be assumed as this world's medicine, frowning slightly before he went back to Raven and set to work healing the obvious cuts and the like. The broken bones, however, would be— "He was... attacked by a demon... "At this, Tohru halted his work, frozen almost. Had he heard correctly? "He... was protecting me... !"The foreign Knight slowly turned and faced the child that was his brother. "A... demon... ?""Y... Yeah... "By now, Alex had almost retreated behind Iris, shaking head-to-toe. Tohru knew Alex had always been timid as a child, but he'd outgrown this phase. Unless it hadn't just been his physical body that had been altered, but his mind, too. Either way, Skade was not going to be their only problem for long. ----------------------------------- It was easy enough to get into the feel of battle, despite being forced to deal with using two weapons. It was also effortless, Yuri noted, how easily he could was using them both, despite having never fought with two before. This has to be Torrent's power... His grip on said claymore tightened for a split second before he flipped it up, taking the chance to land a punch at a wolf that had gotten just a bit too close for comfort before hitting it with the weapon he'd caught again. Then there was the power that was swelling up inside him, beckoning, calling for him to act upon it. He had to smirk at its familiarity, recognizing it almost instantly. Oh, boy, was Flynn going to be pissed. He took Torrent, shifting his grip on it before slashing upwards in the air, clearly calling out the name of his arte as a ball of energy struck not one, but two wolves: "Azure Edge!"

Karol stood by Yuri's side, holding his axe up as two wolves ran by, being attacked by an Azure Edge from Yuri. " Ultra punishing swing! " His axe swung down at the two wolves, hitting them on the back, causing them to fall down; dead. Karol looked around, seeing monsters were surrounding them. If they didn't watch their backs, a monster might attack from the back. -----
Raven opened his eyes, now awake as he turned to look at Alex, who Karol had earlier directed to that spot. " Kid, that demon said ya were a Engill Vindur, what is that? " He asked him, laying on the floor, turning to Repede who was next to him and Jade.
