Sali's feet parted, the curved toes of his gutals pushing aside snow. Such an action brought him back to his surroundings, which he relied on as a shaman. His ability was to call to the earth and wind for aid and answers. That why people sought him out to begin with. However, in this case, he had to seek out Ser Blaccat. The 'aether' of this land was far too foreign for him, far too. . . alien, as he'd heard a Westerner say before.
It was then he realized he couldn't call out to the land. He couldn't ask of it. He had to use his own magic reserves. With a sudden odd calmness, he gave a forceful sigh. A strange sense of brief mental 'respite' that many Xaela were familiar with.
"I don't think a beast is doing this!" At this point, he was less argumentative and more annoyed. This time, it didn't seem to be with Mori, given how his voice was toned down.
Until there was a child.
A stifled yelp tried to escape him as the same shield was placed around the girl - an invisible barrier that occasionally flickered a pictograph.
"Hide! Get to safety!"
These words were spoken with much more confidence, yet carried a sense of anxiety. One too familiar for him.

Watching as Randle proceeded to unfold a crossbow from his jacket and bolts from his overcoat, she seen he had brought his attention not far from where they were. He groans and says'" Easy there Kiddo..." Mori Glances around "Kiddo?" her eyes lock onto to a girl. What was a child doing in this part of the forest in the snow? Before long her father showed himself as well. A sense of relief came to her, " Well At least she isn't alone.." she says to Randle.
"Be careful we're under attack by a.. uhhh.." She trailed off remembering she has still not been able to identify who the attacker was. Sali the says, " I don't think a beast is doing this!" Sali's protective shield now surrounded the girl and he told her to hide.
She glanced around to see if the attacker had brought itself into view. Still nothing. " Do any of you see where it went?" calling out to the rest of them. She had limited ammo and did not want to shoot aimlessly into an area that she wasn't even sure if it still remained at.
She also wasn't sure if the bullets would do any damage to it. "Any ideas?" she says to Randle and Sali while still crouched down trying to hide her position from any other attacks. She then looks at Adam "Is there anyway you could conjure another spell to make them visible or detect where they are positioned for all of us?"
Adam's eyes darted all around him, sweating bullets.
What should he do? He needs to protect all these people somehow. It's what he was trained to do. But what should he do? Go on a wild goose chase after an invisible enemy and risk their lives? Or stand around and deflect sorceries until he's too tired to move?
That was until he heard a soft, familiar voice from behind him. Fumizuki.
He cursed underneath his breath and turned to face the rest of the group.
"Sali, Mori, Randle, Kiyo!" He shouted in an authoritative voice. "Defend the girl at all costs. I don't know what this enemy is, and the ones I have made would be willing to do a lot more than mere physical harm to a child. We are currently surrounded by two people. Don't fire at either, unless they reach melee range, as there is no telling what kind of tricks these foes can have, or what might happen if you miss or get distracted."
He tightened his grip on his sword and sighed.
"If any of us is to die here, let it be me. Put the others first and take no risks." He said. "I am the only one of this world here tonight, and as a knight, I am sworn to protect."
He turned away and began to scan the area for any sign of footprints or disturbances, but the dark of the night made it hard to see, even with his natural night vision. He slowly began to think over what he could do that wouldn't lock him into the vulnerability of his other spell. He's low on focus, and so it needs to be a cheap and easy option.
That's when he got an idea, his eyes widening as he did.
As quickly as he could, he raised his staff in the air, summoning a small ball of magical aura that lit up the area with a bright blue light, the snow on the floor shining from the illumination.
Slowly, he shone the light over the surrounding area, moving the orb around the area. Suddenly, he stopped, noticing an area where the snow shone incorrectly.
"That's one." He said. Then, he charged forth, blade extended before him. He summoned three magical blades around him, which shot forth towards the one he is charging at. However, a similar shield to the one that Adam summoned appeared around the invisible figure, knocking them away. Then, Adam leapt in the air and descended down onto the figure in a pounce.
... But his blade was caught.
Adam's eyes went wide as he fell to the ground. Then, slowly, mist began to fall from the invisible figure, revealing a sphynx man in red robes and golden jewelry. He looked down at Adam with hateful, half lidded eyes before smiling cruelly.
"Hello to you too, Adam Blaccat." The man said.
"You..." Adam said, his eyes widening in fear.

Fumizuki nods as she takes cover behind Drael, watching curiously as to what was going on.
He extended his hand and his blade, Armageddon's Call, flew into his hand. He positioned himself in front of Fumizuki.
*Slightly Panicking from her inability to summon her elemental abilities*
Adam instructed us to protect the girl at all cost, "Got it." Mori said as she rushes over to the area where Fumizuki was hiding behind her Father Drael. As she is approaching them he lifts his hand and a blade flys into it seemingly from nowhere. She puts her guns away and grabs her sword by the hilt at her side after being told to only attack if there was anyone in melee range. " The name's Mori," she says now standing next to Drael and Fumizuki. "It's nice to meet you both."
She focused her attention on Adam as he scanned the area with his staff. He then pounced into action attacking an invisible creature with his sword and was knocked to the ground. Mori draws one of the guns from her holsters as a figure appeared in front of him. She points the gun towards the figure and then aims few feet away from him, he had deflected the weapons that Adam had tried to use to defend himself. Maybe if she fires into the ground it can at least distract him long enough for Adam to regain a position of defense. With the figure standing above him scowling, she sees him say something to Adam but can't quite make it out. She could hear as Adam starts to respond back to the him "You..." she takes her chance. She fires two rounds into the ground near where he was standing and dives behind the nearest trees cover to protect herself from any attack. "Hopefully that works." She says with her heart racing inside of her.

The soft sound of leafs crunching underfoot echoed slightly off in the shaded trees, a small flash of silverly blue before silence falls again, but yet at the edge of the clearing stands a familiar woman holding herself with grace, but worn with travel and tired beyond the physical form, her eyes lock onto Dreal
Fumizuki suddenly perked up at the sound of the leaves crunching. When she peeked out from behind Drael and saw Thyra, she waved excitedly. "Hi Momma!"
((Hey chat. I apologize, but due to the lack of active people who seem to be genuinely interested in the plot of this rp or reading the previous messages in the chat, I will not be continuing this.
While this is a public rp, this is not Trixie's Bar, and I expected people to follow with the plot of the setting and not just throw characters down in the middle of a fight sequence acting like nothing was going on. I understand that you want to show off your characters and their personalities, and maybe not write long paragraphs, but I at the very least expected some interest in the goings on of the rp itself.
See y'all next time,

Her eyes shifted to her daughter, smiling warmly and striding forward towards her
