Ok, nobody is posting, so I guess I'll double post.

Peleto~

One creature jumps towards Nellethiel, bounding like a dog. She sends a water torrent at it, propelling into the air. Then she wets the ground and catches the falling creature in mud. Emmeria and Aragarien draw their swords. Emmeria whispers a spell, and her blade ignites. She sends it into the creature, killing it. Aragarien catapults off the creature, turns into a jet black wolf, and bites down on its leg.

Ferlin and I are teaming up against the rest of the group, me sheilding us and Ferlin sending dark magic flying at the beasts. But the more we tire, the more they keep coming…

Bop to the top.

Um, Admin? I posted a comment, but it didn't go through. Do you know why that is?

No. I'm just posting now.

As the last of them disappear, we sheathe our weapons. The air mage is just waking up, probably very confused. But that was the least of our worries, as we were being hunted by dark creatures.

"You are all probably confused as to why we were attacked," Ferlin starts.

"Attacked?" asked the air mage groggily.

"Yes, attacked. By dark creatures," Ferlin explains.

"The reason is, we are the group of 6 the legendary prophecy speaks of," I interject. "Here, let's sit down, and we will explain. Ferlin and I tell of the Grandmaster council and the prophecy and all that, while the expressions of the group turn from confusion to intrigue. Finally, Nellethiel speaks up.

"So how do we exactly, you know, save the world and all?" she questions.

"We figure out what it means," Ferlin answers. "I'm sure there are some brains here."

"And we find the last verse," I add, "which is hidden somewhere in the ruins of the council dungeon. Only then can we save the world." There is a long moment of silence as we all take in what was just said.

"Well, we can't work on empty stomachs," Emmeria finally suggests. "Who wants breakfast?" 

bop bop bop to the top!

Everyone,

I am sooo sorry for that prophecy mix-up thing!  I didn't have very much time when I posted that so I didn't spend a lot of time seeing how long ago people had posted.

Emmeria-

After a quick breakfast of eggs and toast we whipped up, me Nellethiel and I patch everyone up.  No serious injuries, just a few cuts and scrapes, but we don't want to take any chances.  Whatever those things were, we don't want to find out if they're poisonus.  As we set off again, I can tell that Miffy's scared so I ride over to her.

"Are you ok?" I ask, "I'll be fine," she says. "Those things just reminded me of my home. Well, my home before it was destroyed."  "I know what you mean."  Miffy's startled expression reminds me of something, or someone else.  "Where did you grow up at?" I ask.  "A little village right on the banks of the Sarengetto river."  "I did too!  Who were your parents?"  "I don't really know there names," she explained. "I was only a year old when the village was destroyed."  "I know!  You're the Flosians daughter!  You were an onery kid, always sneaking out of the house when your mother wasn't looking."

"Really?" Miffy laughed, "I don't really remember any of it.  My mum almost died getting me out of our house and I fell down into the river.  I nearly drowned.  At least, that's what mum told me." "I really don't remember anything either," I said. "But my brother was 11 when we left so he told me all he could remember.  He said that one time, our mums found us playing down by the creek and we were covered in mud!"

As we bothed laughed I saw Peleto smiling warmly at us.  I think he enjoys our fun reunion after all that we've been through today. Ferlin on the other hand is glaring at us.  I stick my tomgue out at him and he almost falls off his horse!  Even though his eyes glow like that, he really is less creepy without his hood.

As we enter a deep wood, Aragaien starts shifting awkwardly.  "What is it?" I ask him. "Those things," he growls. "They're back." 

Peleto~

Ferlin and Emmeria break out their stash of food that they had luckily packed before we embarked, and we ate a pleasant breakfast. We then hopped on the horses, I riding with Ferlin, and Miffy riding with Nellethiel. 

"So, what is the plan from here?" Ferlin asked me, not turning his head from the road.

"Well, our only definite destination is the ruins of the council, so to save time and supplies, we will head there, and figure out the rest on the way. The ruins would be north, towards the Opal Mountains, so we're going in the right direction," I explain.

"So let's start now, on the first verse: A kingdom gone, a family lost. Preparing to pay the ultimate cost. What does it mean?" Ferlin mumurs to me. But before I can answer,  I here him grumbling.

"What's wrong?" I ask him.

"Them. They're wrong," says Ferlin, gesturing at Miffy and Emmeria. "How can they be so happy? This is serious, not a game, like they're probably used to."

"They're just trying to stay positive. It's a hard time for all of us. Try to lighten up, ok?" I explain. I turn towards the girls, and smile warmly. It's always nice to have a quiet conversation in the backround of a journey. I look to Ferlin, and he is still glaring at them, as if they were doing everything wrong. Emmeria sticks her tounge out at him, and he nearly falls of the horse! We all laugh a little. Suddenly, we all notice Aragarien's uncomfortable position.

"What is it?" asks Emmeria.

"Those things," he replies, "They're back." A dark creature the size of a small house suddenly bounds around a corner behind us, chasing- wait, could it be? Canuel! I'm a bit rusty, but I form a quick plan in my head. I hope this works. I flip off of Ferlin's horse, and land roughly on Canuel. Not bad, for an 80 year old.

"Do we fight it?" suggests Emmeria.

"No!" I answer. "Ride on!"

Emmeria-

As we charge away from the Things, I notice Aragerien lagging behind the others.  Suddenly, his hourse bolts forward, a Thing on its heels.  Peleto is shouting for us all to keep on, but after a few frantic minutes our horses are begining to tire.

After a narrow escape from falling off Silvia, I realize that we've almost run out of road!  We're all going to fall off a cliff!  Screaming, I try to turn all the horses at once, but I just make them run faster!  At the last minute Peleto yells out somethig like "Varasashi emesio cruble!" A bridge appears in front of us, barely stretching far enough to let the horses run on, and ending right after Silvia's back hooves, for I am now in the rear.

Gasping for breath, we watch the Things trying to follow us across the chasm.  Immediately, Peleto collapses, and I rush over to him.  "He'll be alright." I say, "He used a lot of energy creating that bridge.  Let's make camp."  

That night when we've all laid out on the ground, I remember.  I remmber all the things I've seen over the years and I finally know.  When we find that verse, we'll find the Enchantress.
