Chapter 1 part 2

=hands it to xazhi=

guess it up to you

I lower my voice and sigh a little as i keep walking.

We'll see in 6 hours.

=He takes the map with a nod and looks it over=

Hmm....

I'm no great navigator, but it looks to me like the nearest town is near the banks of the Great Irthan River, North and just a little East of here.

=He looked up and tried to determine exactly which direction that was, when suddenly a distinct Pop rang out and dirt was kicked up right in the center of the group. Xazhi dove to the side and looked around=

Damnit, not this again!

=draws his bow and arms an arrow while looking for the source of the noise=

where the fuck is it

=i crouch down=
Anyone hear where it came from?

=Xazhi spied what looked to be... Some sort of Stone hole with a metal grate over it. There were wooden plates outside it, almost as if they were barricades. He saw the flashes of light from their rifles as they went off, but he couldnt make out the figures. They were shrouded in some kind of... green smoke=

There!

=He pointed to what he saw=

(Visual Referance)

=see's and fires an arrow where xazhi was pointing=

they may not be as accurate as my bow but they got longer range

=i look where he is pointing and see the barricade type thing. I call up my magic, the air around me getting charged with electricity=
Watch yourselves!

=i pointed Arma in the direction of the shooters and let out a surge of lightning=

=For a moment, the firing stops, before quickly resuming. Xazhi tosses a fireball up at them, but it does not seem to do very much=

=gets an idea as he strings up another arrow=

xaz light my arrow on fire that way we can make use of it's arc

=i call up more magic, feeling the headache inducing pressure, but keep on sending lightning at the spot where they are. Thunder rips through the air, and I stand up to get a better shot at the enemy=

=Xazhi uses a quick flash of Fire magic to light Aeris' arrow. Though, the gunfire seems to shift to the Rohgedyn, and concentrate there=

What do they want!? And how did they get out here!?

=i scowl at the shooters and blast more and more magic at them. The scent of ozone fills the air as thunder continues to echo throughout the area, bouncing off the hills. I didn't realize it, but I took a step forward, and another one. I was filled with a sudden anger I had not felt for a long time=

= aims and fires the arrow as accurate as he can=

=Suddenly, another figure appeared behind the green smokescrean. It seemed to peer out, before turning to the other shapes and shouting in some strange language=

?- H'kii! H'kii! K's n'k ts nt dsst bdii!

=Suddenly, the firing stopped, but the figures remained. They seemed to form two lines on either side of the stone hole with the grate over it, with one standing in the middle. It looked to be... beckoning?=

X- What the hell is going on now!?

=i kept flinging magic, uncaring, not noticing the lack in gunfire. I kept sending deadly arcs of lightning at them, taking steps forward=

=Xazhi lept forward and grabbed the Romanii's arm, yanking him back=

Oi, are you off your nut!? You're gonna get filled with holes if you just rush in like that!

Tensions rising....

It was quietly, and to myself. I didn't care if they died. They had a map now, and i was sure i'd be able to find my way if they died. It was just easier if they were alive. This new group were interesting however, but i couldn't afford to show that.

=i kept my magic charged for a second, before I realized what was happening. I dropped my magic, the charge in the air vanishing. I shook my head=
Yeah, yeah...sorry.

=Xazhi poked his head up and looked over at the smoke cloud. The figure in the middle continued to beckon. It called out=

?- Comecome! No harm meant, orders not followed simply!

=i looked at the others, wincing slightly from the massive headache now forming=
Well?

We're really going to trust that, after it chased us from the house and shot at us?

I raise an eyebrow behind everything covering my face.
