Markal tried pouncing on it, but it avoided it as easily as it had avoided Narita. Almost like it was playing with them. He was careful to keep from jostling Elra on his back too much as he jumped.

Rita canted her head as the group continued after the dull gray orb. She drew nearer and jumped up. As it was dodging Markal, it luckily went backward and straight into Rita's grasp. "GOTCHA!" she exclaimed.

She could hear a faint muttering from the orb now that they were close. "Hey, listen, guys..." She knelt and held it between all three of them. It seemed if they drew closer, they'd understand its voice.

It was a broken voice that came from the orb. It seemed more like the ramblings of someone whom had broken under pressure.

"It's too much. I can't take it. I can't take it. I'm tired of this. Ju-Just one cut. One cut. That's all it'll take. It'll-It'll be over now. One cut, one slash. B-Blood. It'll be over now..."

There was the sound of a slash and a running liquid. The orb was turning a bloody red in Rita's hands. ((Let me know if this is too dark for anyone, heh.))

Elra tensed as Markal jumped up, but managed to stay on. "Phew." he said as they landed. He noticed Rita jumped up at the orb and caught it in her grasp. "Good job Rita!" He said with a big smile. He'd then listen to the voices and his face would turn pale. "I... I don't like that, get that away from me!" He shouted as he looked away from the orb.

Markal's ears flattened against his head and his hair stood up. He was ready to bat the orb away from Narita and attack it if it decided to turn his self harm into hurting others. He growled at the strange broken spirited orb, warning it.

Rita's eyes widened at the thing's distorted words. It was melting away now, in a puddle of red. She wanted to throw it, but she couldn't seem to get it off of her.

Suddenly, however, it was gone as quickly as it had appeared before them.

Rita's hands dropped to her sides. "Wh-What was that thing? It turned into...Th-That was blood...wasn't it? What was it talking about?!"

Elra gulped. "Bl-blood!? From that thing, what happened!?" He asked with his face looking terrified, he didn't get a very good look at the orb, since he was so scared, it reminded him so much of that terrible nightmare he had not too long ago.

Xiana watched the whole incident, emotionless. A thought ran across Xiana's mind. She opened her mouth to share it but instead kept her thought to herself. "Just where the hell are we..."

Markal could feel the tension of the elf on his back. He shifted back into his human form, moving a hand to support Elra onto the ground as soon as he had a hand. "Are you alright?" The question was both for Elra and Narita. That bleeding orb had been creepy.

So sorry. Internet died.))

Rita nodded to them, though she was scared. "I-I-I don't know what happened at all..." she said, shuddering. "I'm o-okay, but...why...why did that happen? Who's voice was that? Di-Did they...die?" she asked, looking up at the others. Horror filled her expression.

Elra found himself being put to the ground and looked up at Markal, then to Rita. "I... I think they did, but they did it to themself." He said with horror visible in his expression. "What kind of place is this?" He said looking around as nightfall seemed to bathe the land in darkness.

((are you guys on RPN?)) Since Xiana basically lived alone her whole life, she doesn't know what to do when someone is scared. She tries to comfort Rita and Elra by patting them on the head. "Hey don't worry" She tries her best to comfort them but isn't that good at it.

Markal looked in the direction of the town. "We should probably head over to the town. The people there might have answers and it'll be safer once we're there. We," He nodded his head in Elemeno's direction at this point, "will be able to protect you guys if something more dangerous pops out."

Rita nodded to Elra, trying to shake the horrific image from her mind as Xiana patted her hand. "Th-Thank you. I-It's okay, Xiana..." She turned to Markal. "Y-Yeah. I think we...better get away from here..." she said. She reached to take Elra's hand.

What's RPN? ))

Elra looks up at Xiana and gulps before nodding his head. "I... I'll try." He said in response to her attempt to comfort them.

Elra looked to Markal and nodded his head. "Yeah, maybe I can find my parents there too, that orb makes me really worried." He said before shaking his head, they couldn't be dead, he hoped they weren't.

Elra looked to his hand as Narita took it and he'd look to her face, his ears wiggling as he did so. "yeah, let's get out of this scary place." He said as he awaited Rita's next move.

"Then it's settled. Let's hurry to town" She looks up to the sky "It's getting dark"

Markal shifts back to his tiger form, where his hearing and sight is better. He goes to take the lead, walking towards the town and swiveling his ears to catch sound. He makes sure not to get too far ahead of them though.

((Think I'm gonna go to bed guys))

Rita nodded to the group and smiled. She looked to Elra. "Yeah. Maybe we can find our families there..." She only hoped nothing had happened to them already. For now, she formed tiny balls of flame around herself and her newfound companions. If nothing else, it could serve as a light to guide them.

(It seems I've been left behind... Where is everyone?)

heading to town, just started heading there, so same place ))
