Papa created Hive, remember... He made one for Hyo too, me thinks. She replied before sitting on the grass, playing with the dew. Hyo snuggled into her lap So what about you? And what are you doing?

Periditus Plains
Yomi ignored her question, and instead concentrated on manipulating the grass underneath them. It started off slowly, but soon they built up first to running speed, then sprinting speed and finally to the speed of a horse galloping as he slowly got used to the type of grass and how they moved. The grass were lifting and shifting them in short concerted bursts from that patch of grass to another, at first it was like they were hopping from patch to patch, until yomi, managed to smooth it out so they were travelling at a constant speed. Basically the grass was carrying them, they looked like they were just sliding across the land, it also felt like that to them.
Eastern Edge of Everbloom Forest
Matomo stopped the grass the moment they reached the treeline. He collapsed onto his bag from the strain of manipulating so much grass, he had had to rely on Matomo's slightly superior strength to continue all this way. He felt a small twinge of regret when he looked back and saw that the path they had taken were dotted with occasional spots of brown, some of the grass had not had enough energy to move them and still maintain life processes.
"okay...we are here...the place where...the fight..was should be...towards the south-west...and I told you...my past...is personal..."Matomo gasped. Even though he was so tired, he felt the urge to move around, he sighed and sat up and thought, "this hyperactivity thing can be annoying and uncontollable...come to think of it, it is like Panda here"

"Yeah, I remember seeing a guy in a dark suit with red hair. What of it?" Eric remained silent for a moment before sighing. "Eh... Anyway, thanks for patching me up sir. If I had a hat, I'd tip it just for ya."

Time was a wastin'. While Eric had half a mind to stay with this commander and get more treatment, he longed for the roads ahead of him. A merchant wasn't of much use when they weren't buying or selling. On the other hand, there wasn't much to sell when Eric had nothing to his name anymore. Without his pack, he was nothing but a heavily bandaged man down on his luck. Joining up with a caravan company would give him his edge again, and with an edge came payment. It would be back to the roads with him with nothing but the wind as his master.

"If you've got anymore questions, ask 'em. If not, can I get what's left of my pack and a set of directions to the nearest caravan company?"

Tribal village

Taking the now sleeping girl to a safe room without any other villager, the huntress put Seki on the bed and started the small chimney. Soon she started counting her arrows and sheapened their tips with a small knife

("After this, we can go to the closest city that is somewhat safe, ironically we are too odd that people would avoid us because of our group type, so we got some advantage atleast") Kris thought and then looked at Sekiīs weapon, such an incredible design coming from a teenagerīs mind. Kris then started sharpening the teeth of the chain saw part and polished the weapon with a piece of cloth

Jason handed the box of gems to the shaman, then stood back up. There probably wasn't much for him to do in the village, so he thought he'd just stick with his group. At least then, he could pass the time by talking to them. After standing up, Jason left the room and walked over to Kris and Seki's location.

He saw that they were in another room, and that Seki was sleeping, so he quietly entered.

"Is it okay if I enter?", Jason quietly asked Kris.

[Tewi_Inaba]

Tribal village

Once Seki was placed on the bed by the huntress, she throws her arm over her pillow and bit down on the corner of it. She chewed on her pillow a few times and mumbled to herself as she slept.

The blade and its teeth seemed to have been stained by blood rather than painted red. It wasn’t something you should be putting in your mouth. Whatever its original color was before, it would never be that color again.

"You can come in Jason" the huntress answered to the miner boy while finishing with the chain-sawīs polishing and chuckled seeing that the red markings stood there (Memories of many battles) she thought and put the weapon near Seki while being careful to not touch the doll she had.

Taking of her arm bracers, Kris started working on their quality by stitching any loose part and tightening the straps on them, she worked on her boots, belt, quiver and bow's strings with peace. the huntress was enjoying her time polishing her sword and dagger and also strapping the grips of the blades

Jason nodded at Kris's welcome and walked over to a nearby chair and sat in it. He then took off his safety harness, Chainsword, then his super-compressed Titanium Alloy chestplate, quietly laying the 100 pound chunk of metal on the ground. After that, Jason laid his Chainsword on the table next to him, just within arm's reach. He then stretched his shoulders and bent his back, causing a faint cracking sound. Once Jason was fully adapted to not wearing the chestplate, he then leaned back in the chair.

"So, what do we do after this?", Jason asked Kris.

[Kristia]

Tribal village

Hearing Jasonīs question, Kris thought about it and answered "After we get some air from getting up here and Seki getting better, we can go to the nearest town close to the mountain" she said while drinking some water and eating an apple

"Honestly I donīt know what to do next, I just travel to the unreachable places where no one has reached to find a way to show that almost, if not all the people in this world are alive and being taken with care in the outside world, I have only made a small contact with someone from the outside thanks to a crystal I found, but it was a one use only, Im sure there are more hidden around" the huntress explained

[S121]

Tribal village

Jason leaned forward to look at the crystal, then looked at Kris. A crystal like that was important, very important. They could use it to ask the outside world which one of them was still alive or dead. In fact, they could try and give information to the outside world so they could track Tyruss in the real world.

"How rare are those?", Jason asked Kris as he leaned back into the chair.

[Katrix]

Regius Prison

Sidna was waiting for Otori to make a move to show himself. After some time a small shockwave wasa released rom a part of the city.
She immideatly had one of the birds check it, but she could't see anything.

Instead she went to get updates on what had happened in Everbloom forest. Appareantly a mule was found near a cave entrance.
That must mean that they are in the mountais. To dangerous to attak them there. She would have to wait.

She then went into the room where Eric and HM were talking in. "Hey HM, anything new here. Apprantly Otori does not like being held prisoner.
Meanwhile we also found a mule near a cave entrance. I think they are going over the mountain so we have to wait a little on going after them"

She then tough of something that might be of use in this battle. Something far away.

"How rare are those?", Jason asked Kris as he leaned back into the chair.

Taking the crystal back at her backpack, the huntress lifted her shirt enough to show a deep stab on her left part of the stomach and said "They are this rare, enough to put death traps, poison darts and an almost lightspeed naga with a sharp dagger" she said putting her shirt back on position

"I donīt know who, how or why this things were placed there in the start, but for how the temple looked, this crystal was placed possibly at the beginnings of Aetherna itself" Kris said relaxing on the chair while waiting for Seki to wake up

Jason thought about it, about the many dangers of traps, monsters, and even other explorers. No doubt it was dangerous, but it would help them reach out to the real world, give them information and the status of each member of the group. All this talk about traps and monsters reminded him of the many video games he played. Most of them were RPGs and Action/Adventure games, something he always enjoyed. The games were lifelike virtual reality, so it would make sense that he would have gotten some skill when it came to these kinds of things, right? It was a long-shot, but perhaps his video game experience would help with the traps and exploration.

"You're probably going to think I'm crazy, but I think we should look for more of those crystals. We could use them to talk to the outside world, perhaps even get information that we normally wouldn't be allowed to know. We could also ask about our condition in the real world.", Jason said to Kris.

((Sorry for leaving you two hanging. Forgot to tell you that I'll be out for a good week. Katrix, I did say that Otori silently but swiftly flew a wind bomb in the opposite direction in order to distract the birds as he flew away))

HM thought on this. He knew now that Otori had a say in this. He looked back at the merchant.

"... Huh? Oh, no, you may go on as you please! Oh, and here. For all of your troubles and for cooperating."

HM hended him 100 gold coins as part of his personal 'witness rewards' sistema used to create small ties with people. That way, if he were ever in a pinch, he might have someone to back him up. It's what is left of his former self from Neo Vegas.

HM stood up and headed to the door until Sidna opened the door on him, knocking him back.

"Ow! Sidna, please knock before you-"

"Hey HM, anything new here. Apparently Otori does not like being held prisoner. Meanwhile we also found a mule near a cave entrance. I think they are going over the mountain so we have to wait a little on going after them"

"I see... well, Otori does indeed know something valuable. It was about time that his claustrophobia kicked in. He's never been imprisoned before. Alright. I'll go after him. You deal with the runaways. Would you like me to lend you squad 4? They consist of four assassins and one heavy. The assassins are all sound mages while the heavy is an earth mage."

Hearing Jasonīs words did sound of hope, but the huntress had to rain his party "Sorry, but comunication to the outside world is out of our grasp, I searched for other crystals and they had almost exact properties to this one, but now they are used to buff an ability or cure illness, like if they were reprogramed, this one for example has no effect at all, but I keep it as a token of hope to survive here" she said drinking some water.

Moving on to the next part of Jasonīs idea, Kris said "Dungeon crawling and related arenīt bad ideas, thats how I got this guys" she gestured her weapons and continued "What can await us in them is sure anything to avoid anyone to get what is hidden from swords, maces to robes and scrolls, even an elemental, but those things can be tainted to kill their user, but right now we will need to know what rebel boy wants"
