Kalkun, Rockhill District
Finishing her part of the rabbit, Kris looked again to the horizon with her telescope, the desert looked calm as always, its dunes big as hills and changing almost everyday, moving clockwise she saw the rocky paths she came from, slowly with time they formed from a flat surface into a great canyon
Yet when the huntress looked at a path, she noticed a group of people, 2 were seeing a fallen one "An ally of them? or maybe" her thought trailed off as the idea came over, they were possibly bandits
Kris then took her bow and went to a close area to the group of people, crawling on the rocky surface with a higher point of view, she noticed one of the men was checking on the unconscious guy, yet she couldn´t identify if he was scavenging or only checking him.
In the end Kris decided for a confrontation, taking an arrow from her quiver the huntress put it on the bow just in case the people would attack her "Hey, what are you doing to him?" she asked coming to the man´s view

Everbloom Forest-1:00AM
Yomi woke up and sat up, his head pounded and he felt a thin trickle of blood drip past his ear. He reached up and winced and he felt the painful head wound he had endured. He looked around and saw that his belongings were scattered in a 10 foot radius around him. He set to collecting his items.
He had lost about half of his books and most of the food was gone, but at least he still had his grimoire and huthvirn. After packing them up, he started foraging for food, all the while thinking:
"I need to find a new place to go... The forest is really getting to crowded, i also need to start working on my magic. I heard that there were steppes to the south-west. That might be a good place to go, there should not be many people there, and the open air would be better for me to practice rather than this undergrowth.
He finally collected enough nuts and fruits to fill his pack,(not berries, those just don't last long....), with that he opened his grimoire and found a certain page. It contained as much of what he could remember the time he accidentally cast the spell. That time he had been ambushed by one of the patrols and the surprise and panic had caused him to accidentally cast this spell. He had been on the edge of the forest when he was ambushed, and when the spell ended, he had found himself on the opposite edge. It seemed that he had turned himself temporarily into light and sped off. He had yet to try it again as that one time he did it, he had collapsed and slept for 3 days, the energy demand had been extreme. But this time he planned to only travel a much shorter distance and hold the spell for a mere 1/2 second rather than the 3 seconds he had done that time.
There was a flash that blinded anyone and anything that might have been looking at him, and he was gone.
residuum steppes
A blinding flash of light materialized and a boy appeared at the source, which happened to be the top of one of the small hills, he toppled over and just lay there. The energy drain had been immense, and all his muscles ached, but at least he was awake. After a while, he took out some food and started eating. And then gratefully fell asleep.
(note: I hope this is ok, I did it this way because if he were to walk, it would take a long time, and the story was progressing in terms of minutes.)

Everbloom Forest - 1:00 AM
"Have you heard about the boy that killed 36 men alone after they killed his father? I don't know if you have as you were most likely out here when it happened.
Anyway, I decided to hunt him. It had been a long time since I had a prey like that. The soldiers that got too the house lent me a hunting dog which led me to the boy.
Then some fighting happened. He's a speed mage, and a creative one too. In the I gave him some sleeping gas before he jumped away. He should be sound asleep by now."
"As for Vox, he helped me locate the boy when the dog got afraid and ran away. Poor dog was killed right after that too." Sidna sent a smile towards Vox.
She didn't want to be any trouble for him. What happened to Hell Master on the other hand she didn't care about at all.
"We learned a lot today. Now, if we can catch him while he is steel asleep I think it would make this much easier".
While talking Sidna ignited a single flame in her hand using some of the branches lying around. She limited the amount of oxygen it had so it didn't burn up at once.
"As for me, I would like to get a medical check, but no broken bones or anything. "

"Alright. Just hold still."
Hell Master began treating any wounds that he found.
"Ya know, is it just me or is it that I'm the nicer of us two?" He said jokingly as he finished off.
"Good. Now then, how did a speed mage manage to raise your temperature like that?"
He spent a while going through all of the knowledge he has obtained about speed mages. It took him a minute or two, but then he finally solved the case.
"Oh, man, that's a bad way to go. Much worse than burning. You need to get home. And as for the boy..."
He thought for a while, then decided, "I'll hunt him down. You said you wanted to see me fight someone like that? Well today is your lucky day, ain't it? And who knows, maybe I'll come out with worse injuries."
Hell Master was not like many. Though he was arrogant, whenever he goes in to battle, he always expects not to come out alive. That is his secret to fighting to his fullest. However, this is also why he doesn't like fighting.
"So, Sidna, are you gonna encourage me to get my ass kicked or are you going to fail at stopping me? Because with an opponent like this, I'll surely be in the hospital for some time, wheras you just need to stay home and relax."
He stood up and walked over to Vox.
"Hey, Vox, it's obvious she likes you more than I, so keep her safe for the mean time. I'm counting on ya."

Everbloom Forest immediately following Jasons shockwave.
In a rage Seki had attempted multiple times to hit an enemy who was simply no longer there, until a sudden shockwave hit her from a distance. It didnt exactly harm her, rather just sent her air-born towards a nearby tree. Seki caught herself, using the back oh her knees to catch heself and continusly flip onwards in the direction she had been traveling. In a instant her mood changed and she was starting to actually have fun. Her flipping turned to rolling once she hit the ground and took off like a ball heading down a gentle slope.
Everbloom Forest around 1:10 AM
After rolling about for several minutes in the woods Seki found her self in a familiar place. She rolled on her side coming to a gentle stop next to what used to be her house. During all the loud fighting that day. Somewhere between when she actually got attack and being sent off by the odd shockwave. A boulder had given way to gravity and traveled the exact same path as Seki, down the slope and over/through her house. Seki stood up covered in both mud and confusion in what could have possibly happened to her house. After giving it a moment of thought she came to a conclusion,
Gahh!! My house ran away from home!
Teary eyed she sat back down in the location where she had stopped rolling. She was not so much crying, as she was pouting, never the less she was upset.
And I was just staring to get really hungry too. Stupid house . Huh?
Seki reached into her dirty pants pocket extracting from it her little doll whom seemed to be her only companion in the world.
I know Anna Im sad too .. What should we do now?
She spoke to her doll Anna as it it could understand and even answer her. After a moment at staring at her doll, an answer came to her from one of the many voices inside her head.
Ok well go find something to eat at Kalkun.
Seki smiled for a brief moment and hugged Anna before placing her back inside her pocket. The girl rested her blade on her shoulder as she began making her way north/northwest towards the mountain area.

Bob the mule grunted in surprise as Eric halted his investigation. What a shame, he thought as he lifted his hands away from the fallen knight of a man. When he needed to find a buyer, it seemed like every person disappeared within a ten-mile radius of him. But when he wasn't actively searching, people flocked into view. The problem with this was that not everyone was looking to buy from him.
Eric looked over at the newcomer and immediately changed his tune. Long, black hair. Unnatural purple eyes. An outfit only an eccentric would love. It seemed customary for players/users to pick appearances that they could never get in real-life. Eric didn't think any less of them for it, seeing as his imagination came up lacking. But the most glaring aspect was that the newcomer was a woman, and a rather interesting one if not for the notched bow that showed that she meant business.
Raising his hands into view, the lone merchant decided he would use his charm and good looks (beg for mercy) in an attempt to explain himself. Just about every person in Aeterna existed in the real world, so if Eric drove his dagger into this woman's heart, he would essentially be driving it into a dessicated vegetable somewhere else, and that was bad karma.
"Hoy there... This isn't what it looks like. You see... I found him on the ground just now and was hoping to find that he's alright. If he's not alive, then... well..."
His words ran off. Probably for the best, he thought as he looked up at the woman.

At the idea of Hell Master going after the boy she was pleased. She couldn't think of any reasons why he'd win and not she.
("In reality he's weaker than me anyway. I just held back during those battles. I couldn't bring myself to kill him strangely enough.")
"I like the idea off you going after him. Don't expect me to just sit home in my chair and do nothing. If i have to sit home in a chair, it will be a chair of studying.
Do you have any idea of where he was headed anyway? It would probably be more clever to alert all off Tyruss's soilders, just like they already know about Seki."
She made another ball of twigs and branches, but this time she added some stearin to it so that it would retain the flame for longer. She then added some epsom salt from one of her pouches.
When she igntited the ball it glowed a bright white color color. She then threw the ball and led it to where the battle had occurred where it exploded violently.
"Next time we get him. Just like that. We just have to find him sound asleep as he should be by now. Then we can do whatever we want with him"

He stopped in his tracks. She was right. How could he know?
"... Gee, you sure are acting a lot more dark than usual. Almost as if you wanted to kill me. Well then, if you say so. I'll post the new wanted list. You and Vox here will tend to the description of appearance. Oh, and just so you know, I'm not that bad of an idiot to not know that you will still tend to your duties in any way. Still, you're in a bad condition as it is. You can tend to your job, but stress yourself and you will become a baked potato. Oh, and see a medic. God knows what will happen when you do this and that while you're in your condition. Well, I'll be off. Hopefully, you won't summon another giant sleep-depriving fire tornado."
HM walked over to Vox.
"Oh, and Vox, if you're not doing anything tomorrow night, you and I should grab a drink, on me. Ya know, for doing such a good job." He began walking home until...
"Uh, Sidna... Mind giving me that famous 'shortcut' throw? I don't wanna walk home, and it'll be much easier if ya just wind threw me."

Kris looked at the fallen knight, he had bruises and cuts on him, but still breathing, ("Hm.. he looks more travel damaged than battle, probably got lost in the wilderness") she thought while calmly walking to the group´s direction
Then she examined the man, he looked quite clean, so the possibility of being a bandit can be taken off, yet there are outlaws who take advantage of travelers. Taking a calm breath she saw the man was clean of any trace of blood and the large backpack on his persona "how is his state if I may ask?" the huntress asked touching the unconscious guy´s wrist to check his pulse.
"I suppose you are a traveling merchant, not many can be seen since the empire appeared, if you need shelter or a drink, I suggest you to go to the town´s inn"" Kris said lifting up the unconscious guy and preparing to walk towards the town, yet ready to draw her sword just in case

Residuum Steppes - 1:00 AM
Phenom's gaze was yanked from the horizon as a large flash of light could be seen a few mounds away. While many of the hills in the steppes were not large enough to actually be called hills, they were large enough to hide the source. He immediately rose to his feet, hands on their respective swords in case this was some new foe from Regius. He cautiously approached the location, peaking his head over the nearest hump in the ground.
"The hell happened here..." Phenom whispered to himself. That was when he saw the source of the flash. Another boy, significantly younger than him, laying in the grass.
"He doesn't look Regiusian..." he added. He didn't see any Regiusian crests on him, but then... many of the Regiusian commanders lacked crests as they preferred to dress their own way. "The hell is he eating? Looks like fruit!"
YES, FRUIT! I'M SO HUNGRY!
Phenom silently lurked in the shadows until the boy fell asleep, when he would steal, and hopefully get away with, some of the food in the boy's bag.
It was a few minutes before he went to sleep, but it would definitely be worth the wait. Phenom crept up to the boy slowly, using his speed magic to slow his body whenever he felt he was moving too fast.
