Peter Parker- MCU

Peter looked over at Darius and then at the others. " I'm Peter Parker. Also, I'm just not a fan of killing. There are much more peaceful resolutions to get things done. Nobody deserves to die, not even your worst enemy," he said, crossing his arms. He had no plans to follow this man and he really didn't think he was too nice, but he could be friendly if he had to be. He still refused to believe the goblins were dead, denial was not just a river in Egypt and he was holding onto that belief. " We should get to the village before it gets dark..." he said, heading in that direction.

Peter Parker- Amazing

" I guess it is good to know the names of the man escorting us. I'm Peter Parker," he said, looking over at him and heading over to the Apple Tree to get some apples or whoever he talked to get apples. He planned to get a lot since it would be better since they were going to the village.

"Hmm..."

Wakaba Nogi held her chin in her hand. She had been a little slow to get a move on. She thought long and hard about which direction to go in, weighing possible pros and cons while thinking about each individual's possible strong points based on how they looked, but while lost in her own thoughts everyone had already moved out. Sighing, Wakaba silently berated herself for being so slow. She sure wishy-washy for someone who was supposed to be a leader.

Well, not that her team was here. Or anywhere anymore.

Standing around would do her no good, so she decided to go catch up with a random group.

"...I suppose as one who lives in the East, I should head East."

With that she ran off, various strange equipment in her hands. After all, without her phone those weapons were her only form of protection in a foreign land. Soon enough she would catch up with the group, though by now they didn't seem to be doing all too much other than introductions. A very nice time to join in, it seemed. How fortuitous.

At least, that's what Wakaba would have thought if it wasn't for the tension between what looked like a ronin and a western soldier. It seemed a little hard to step in at first and she hesitated to make herself known, but as the more soft sounding boy who called himself Peter Parker spoke up she managed to get herself to suddenly step in.

"And I'm Wakaba Nogi. Pardon my tardiness, I was just..." she wore a hard look for a fourteen year old, despite her earlier hesitation, as she thought about what to say. "...thinking."

And then decided on the truth.

"Oh, Master would appreciate all of these!"

Kokkoro collects the loot and turns to the others.​

"Of course, I coudn't have done it without you all, so let's split it. I will take two."

Yuuki horded all the loot save for the guts as Kaito introduced himself.

"..."

As he bowed his head in response to the greeting, his arms were overflowing with goblin keratin.

@Otto @Takumi @Crow @Lucky @Minerva @Hida Tomonatsu @Siege @Yun Lee @East​
Surprisingly, as Kokkoro shot her arrows at the slime beasts, they jolted, and turned yellow, the attacks from the others destroying them. All that was left of the beasts was ten pieces of yellow jelly.

The onslaught of attacks brought the goblin down, and he vanished in a puff of black smog, leaving behind a horn, tooth, and its...guts? They're pulsing...ew.

The last red goblin runs to attack, but a sudden shield smash sends it flying into the water, where it dissolves. If you want, a horn floats in the water.

"Ha! That'll show him!" The young man watches the monster vanish triumphantly, then cracks his knuckles. "You guys were great! Real men, am I right? Oh yeah, how could I forget my introduction? The name's Kaito Momota, Luminary of the Stars! Nice to meet ya!"

@Otto @Takumi @Crow @Lucky @Minerva @Hida Tomonatsu @Siege @East

As Ken arrived, Dell merely shrugged. "I mean, considering I know that you guys were coming, was waiting for you, and knew a voice would maybe tell you I was here, I think I'm more than just someone. The name's Dell. And these folks right here are Hylians. Some of them are merchants, others are adventurers...Hino here is actually a scientist."

"Eeesh. How can you pick up that stuff in your hand so easily?" Guy commented, sheathing his sword and looking on as Kokkoro collected the now (hopefully) inanimate pieces of discolored slime. He also had to wonder what use they could be, but then again, never hurt to hoard. He imagined between all of them, they all at least had enough space to hold whatever they might find interesting.

With that, he lowered his arms to his hips, letting out a satisfied breath. "In any case, is everyone alright? I'd certainly hope those little slimes weren't able to hurt anyone at least," Guy continued, looking onward at the road to see if there were any more unexpected surprises.

@CrunchyCHEEZIT @Crow @Yun Lee @Raynar Saassin @Gummi Bunnies

"Japan? I don't think I know what that is either..." Lyn stated, scratching her head at the concept. Was that a undiscovered country in Elibe or something? "It sounds nice, I might want to go there someday."





"I currently reside in the open plainsland of Sacae, neighbouring the countries of Illia, Bern, Lycia and Etruria. I was in the middle of a ceremony that was to crown one of my friends, Hector, as the new ruler of a city known as Ostia." Lyn exclaimed. In her tone of voice was the truth and nothing but the truth. "I just... felt like I was just knocked out and then I arrived in some odd place... And now, here we are."

"Yes, it seems slimes are the connecting factor between us, my blonde-haired friend,"
Shovel Knight responded to Guy, rubbing the gooey residue off the blunt end of his sword before sheathing it along his back. He seemed to hesitate when Kokkoro provided a clump of the yellow jelly, however. "Ahah, I don't think I'll need any, madam. Thank you for the offer, though!"

The knight joined Guy in quickly surverying the landscape to ensure there weren't any more surprises down the path. Once the coast seemed clear, Shovel Knight would triumphantly continue on with the rest of the group towards Kakariko village. "It seems as if the coast is clear. Away we go, th--"

"Woah!"


The tiny knight was almost thrown off his boastful groove as a tall, young man suddenly shouted directly behind him. Turning to face Superboy, Shovel Knight seemed hesitant to approach, but made some attempt at diplomacy with the stranger. "Are you okay, sir? You seem distressed."

"If that is what you wish to believe, Peter-san, though remember that some beasts might think otherwise."

Despite his own proclivity for using bloodshed as the means to solve confrontations that words could not soothe, Jin could understand the younger man's distaste for the acts. It would be hypocritical not to, given the reasons for why he first set out on his life as a ronin; the dishonor and depravity involved in serving as an assassin for a government that claimed to be just yet sought to corrupt his master's school...

It didn't matter now. They had a path to walk together at the moment, one that they could not wait to explore. With a nod of acknowledgement sent the way of the girl who had introduced herself finally, the ronin followed after Peter, not waiting for the others as he expected them to be able to follow along without a reminder.

"I am Darius, Hand of Noxus. I assume you are also one of the displaced? If so, join us. There is strength in numbers," Darius replied in a much less enthusiastic voice.​


J7KzKEiEdhswDINI1VrV81XFiQgIN_TjGLChltTeweltXAkWwNIsNKvWPiD5Pk_NLcc_wOY6SBPbNhJTiaaVKffENkALH6BA5YqqE5sD-47M-Oj5oTPu2lwfYcB9PneG4Z-wkXVC


He continued the earlier conversation with Azel and Jin, a faint glimmer of respect in his eyes. “All of you appear to be worthy fighters,” he began, referring to the majority of the group, “but there must be a leader in every company. A disorganized army is a dead army. I’ve fought and lead in countless wars and have seen Noxus rise with my own eyes; I’ve more than proven myself capable of leadership. You can choose not to believe that, I don’t care, but I do want to make something very clear.”

“Noxus is about unity, loyalty, and strength. If we are to become allies, I will not tolerate cowardice or weakness in this quest. Additionally, any attempt at desertion, betrayal, or treason will be punished accordingly,” the general continued, pausing to let it sink in.

b2efrdKA3BWyTQHjbahFYpnhPfo2R454afOyGx3_X9x6U9bgX8CT9h-Bcc92xAQ6D6vp8wR9OtJiAiEG6EqD_4yCfv2_ubIPWgvEwnGNMLRfSOibFilWWcaCt-KdHCLED54d7zWT


“However, make no mistake, I am no tyrant. I do not act based on personal wishes, only the greater good. The guiding voice intends to return us home, and I intend to make that happen. Everyone needs to put in the effort required to achieve this, though.”


Sensing a large amount of emotional fragility emanating from Peter, Darius responded sternly, "They did die, and it's only going to get worse from now on. Keep your guard up and don't hesitate to kill. The last thing we need is to give the enemy mercy. They won't hesitate to take advantage of weakness. Remember that."

"Anyway, we need to move out," he declared, addressing the group once more, "We have to reach our destination before sundown."
With a quick flourish, the blood of the goblin was slung across the lifeless dirt as Jin listened to Kaito's explanation. Pulling out a piece of cloth that he kept on hand for moments such as this, he carefully collected the last bits of body fluid on it with a wipe-down before sheathing his blade. "You may call me Jin, Momota-san," That was his reply to the boy they had saved before picking up the guts of the goblin with his cloth, tying it off to keep them safe and away from his skin while storing them away. His eyes glanced then to the quiet young man who only seemed to nod; no name, no true response besides brief acknowledgement...

"And that is Yasu-san."

That would be the name the ronin would use for the young man, approaching him to stand by his side with the guts and a soft if bored expression. He and Azel both seemed to be men he could respect for their brief words and silent wisdom, and thus he would prefer to take a place at their side over Darius.

"No."

A soft yet curt tone echoed out the negative sentiment that rung in the ronin's mind, his eyes holding down Darius's form from beneath the straw hat he had managed to keep affixed upon his head. Almost as if it was his way of remaining resolute against any assault proposal made by the larger man, "Perhaps in martial skill, you deserve leadership, but not in values shared by us. I will accompany this group as a comrade, not as a subordinate to you."

Something about Darius's words seemed to set the swordsman on edge as he then nodded to Azel and the silent boy he had dubbed Yasu, then pushed forth, hand hanging close to his blade's grip as he made to move on towards the village they were to be guided to. Despite his own attempts at self-control... the idea at one could shout about his homeland's loyalty and unity and expect to be given command annoyed Jin. He recalled a similar land with similar values, demanding that everyone follow for its edicts and decrees for the greater good; commands that had led him to strike down his master to preserve the purity of their school.

Jin would not accept a power above himself; no lord was honorable enough to hold his loyalty, not after the journey he had experienced through life. Only an equal comrade could, and if Darius did not accept such an idea? Then he could expect no assistance from the ronin.

Like a short while prior, Yuuki chose to stay silent, looking at Jin for a while as the ronin objected to Darius claiming leadership over this small group. Yuuki, knowing that all would unite in the Kakariko village soon, decided to let the group go about their arguings and quarrels until they got there. Once that happened, this small ragtag team would be assimilated into a bigger one.

He had a light, slow nod in response to that, agreeing with such.

Looking at Peter feeling a bit demotivated, Yuuki gives the neighbourhood superhero a few pats on the back to snap him back.

As Nogi Wakaba walked into the scene to introduce himself, Yuuki saw it appropriate to wave and bow in response and respect.

"I will keep it for my Master then, Master Shovel. He might find use in these items," Kokkoro adds as she keeps the two jelly fragments she initially offered Shovel Knight.

Shovel Knight seemed to have picked up on a brooding man with an alien symbol of hope on his chest.

"Azel Halgal." Azel greeted curtly to Kaito. Turning to Darius, Azel simply crossed his arms.

"We don't know this land, and once we reach our destination there is no telling what we'll have to do next. Before we go deciding leaders and such, we should simply work together on keeping each other alive until we have a better grasp on this Hyrule the voice spoke of, Honoured Brother." Azel suggested calmly, almost as a form of compromise. Despite the Noxian's words he still wouldn't follow under Darius as a leader, his own Father was doing no doubt damaging leadership back home in his absence and he wouldn't risk it in a man he did not know nor completely trust.

Looking to Wakaba, he gave a small nod of greeting, before putting away his weapons and heading to the Village with the rest, possible guide in tow. That is, if Kaito was supposed to be their guide. Either way there was a chance the boy would join their numbers to the village, other than staying alone Azel was sure.

@Yun Lee @Otto @Minerva @Siege @Crow @East

"Lead the way, I'm sure that there is a lot of explaining that will be done once we get to the Village." Silque nodded, taking this all in stride. She had faith that Mila would guide her on the path she needed to take to return to her original goal.

@Yun Lee @Minerva @Siege @South​
 
"Yeah, sorry Darius, but I don't follow 'leaders'. In life, every man makes his own destiny himself, not with someone telling him what to do! What Jin said, I'll work with you, but not under you!" Kaito looked around the Promenade, then opened up his Sheikah Slate. "Okay, looks like we need to head...this way! Let's get a move on, we're wasting daylight here! It's already noon, judging by the Sun!"

As they walked along, the group would notice they were on the right side of the Promenade-in more ways than one. This road was unified and would take them right to Kakariko. "So, where do you guys come from?" Kaito asked the group. "Clearly we're not all from the same place."

"Well, let's get a move on, then." Dell started walking. Peter would find he could grab four apples, and would learn that apparently stable owners provided them for travelers. "Don't worry about the village eating, bud. Kakariko is famous for its pumpkins and carrots." Dell began smoking his pipe, leading his little group down the road. "I gotta admit, I expected more folks in this group than others. A leisurely stroll to Kakariko...way better than fighting monsters, if you ask me."

As long as everyone followed the path, they were now free to walk without worrying over Magda's flowers. Glancing around, it was clear the way to go involved a brief swim across a river, or, if they didn't want to get wet, there was a raft nearby they could use.

Peter Parker- MCU

Peter had zoned out and he thought he had heard something from his memory... but how could that be if he just got here? It did answer one of his worries though, but he decided to be quiet about it until he found someone he trusted. " I'm from Queens, New York. Basically, it's a part of a much bigger city. Also, we were in that weird temple," he said to the other man.

@Yun Lee @Otto @Hida Tomonatsu @Crow @Takumi @Minerva @Siege @Kaykay @East

Peter Parker- Amazing

" Well, this should be good to share at least one person or two,"
he said, taking the apples with him for now. He wasn't really hungry and he paused to think about it. " Maybe more people have a spirit for adventure than others in all honesty," he said, as he walked with him, not finding a real reason besides that.

"We don't know this land, and once we reach our destination there is no telling what we'll have to do next. Before we go deciding leaders and such, we should simply work together on keeping each other alive until we have a better grasp on this Hyrule the voice spoke of, Honoured Brother." Azel suggested calmly, almost as a form of compromise. Despite the Noxian's words he still wouldn't follow under Darius as a leader, his own Father was doing no doubt damaging leadership back home in his absence and he wouldn't risk it in a man he did not know nor completely trust.

Looking to Wakaba, he gave a small nod of greeting, before putting away his weapons and heading to the Village with the rest, possible guide in tow. That is, if Kaito was supposed to be their guide. Either way there was a chance the boy would join their numbers to the village, other than staying alone Azel was sure.

"Lead the way, I'm sure that there is a lot of explaining that will be done once we get to the Village." Silque nodded, taking this all in stride. She had faith that Mila would guide her on the path she needed to take to return to her original goal.

More and more, Azel was proving a voice that the ronin could agree near whole-heartedly with. He was a cautious rationalist just as Jin was, and he seemed intent on understanding the situation before making proclamations of grand positions and such. Yes, certainly an individual that he could work with, and the most likely to receive acceptance as a leader if need be, much as it might begrudge him to accept.

But he wouldn't voice that opinion for now. Better to hold his tongue until his voice was truly needed, because otherwise, saying too much might spark an argument or, worse, an open confrontation. Thus, as the young man they had rescued voiced his own opinion, he shot him a slight smile, approving of his belief that destiny was something of their craftmanship and not in the hands of another. Responsibility for one's own course in life, a good mentality to hold, even if he was rather energetic in proclaiming it. As for his question regarding their homelands?

"Japan. Somehow, I feel as though our homeland's distance is not physical in separation, Kaito-san, but rather in time. Something about you simply reminds me of those who travel in my homeland, yet you hold a strange difference from those of my home..." Jin mused with a hum, drawing parallels between the young man and the duo of Mugen and Fuu in his mind. Warm-hearted as the girl was, tenacious as the arrogrant former pirate was; yes, almost certainly from the same homeland, especially with a name such as his.

"Yeah, I'm from Japan too! If anything, Pete and I probably come from closer to the same time than you and I." Kaito looked around at their group, taking everyone in. "And I woke up at one of those weird temple things too. I decided to ignore the voice and went through that tube thing...but I ended up at a volcano! And the second I got outside, I started burning up! So I went over here and figured I was late to the party, but looks like I was really a little early!"

Kaito took a minute to think about his situation. A whole group of people from different places, brought into some random world for seemingly no reason...this couldn't be what he thought it was, could it? No way! The Arch Demon was dead, remember? And he couldn't remember much about the mission he'd been on, but-

Oh, shit! The mission!!

As they walked along, the group would notice they were on the right side of the Promenade-in more ways than one. This road was unified and would take them right to Kakariko. "So, where do you guys come from?" Kaito asked the group. "Clearly we're not all from the same place."

Peter Parker- MCU

Peter had zoned out and he thought he had heard something from his memory... but how could that be if he just got here? It did answer one of his worries though, but he decided to be quiet about it until he found someone he trusted. " I'm from Queens, New York. Basically, it's a part of a much bigger city. Also, we were in that weird temple," he said to the other man.

Yuuki looks at the others, shrugging his shoulders and shaking his head to imply that he has not heard of any of their homelands before. He decides to stay silent during this.

As long as everyone followed the path, they were now free to walk without worrying over Magda's flowers. Glancing around, it was clear the way to go involved a brief swim across a river, or, if they didn't want to get wet, there was a raft nearby they could use.

Enu: Prologue - The King

@GoingWest

7ZTDL7r.png


Many years ago, a King and his faithfull Queen gave birth to a beautifull young boy. It was a time for celebration, a moment of great happiness for the family, but alas... Things rarely stay this way forever.

As time went on, the boy began to grow up, full of energy and life, but the same couldn't be said about his mother.

8KLKXyZ.png


It was only a matter of time before she fell ill, and left this world... His son too young to fully comprehend what had happened.

The King on the other hand, was never the completely same after his Queen left him, but he tried his best to live on with his son, taking care of him as his mother once did.

As the boy began to grow up, his tastes for adventure grew and grew, and soon, the boy wanted to see what lay beyond the King's domain; he wanted to see the ocean.

Not wanting to disappoint his son, the King decided to set sail with him, on a sight-seeing trip.

wCx47OS.png


But in the end... Only one of them ever made it home.

...

A distant storm... A desperate attempt to cling to something... Coldness... Threatening to snatch him down into the sea... Enu could only remember bits and pieces of what happened leading up to this point.

Someone was holding onto his arm, desperately trying to pull him back out of the water, but he couldn't make out their face.

Their grip was already beginning to loosen, no thanks to the wind and rain... From the overhead storm.

It was then that he felt his vision begin to blurr... As his determination to hold on turned into anger... Frustration, but not all of it felt like his own. At what? He wasn't sure, but more and more, the situation was beginning to feel like a memory... A distant, memory.

Blinded by his own feelings of anger, he could only barely register his grip on what he was holding onto loosening... As the waves below him began to pull him under.

Something tore on one of his arms... Before he was surrounded by coldness... A foul smell invading his nostrils... Before suddenly... His vision went dark.

...

When Enu awoke, he was alone. Well, sort of.

Like the others, he was guided by a mysterious voice, but even if he wanted to... He realized he could not talk to it. In fact, he could hardly talk at all.

Carefully following the instruction he was given, opening the chest as he combed through the items.

There was a bow, some strange yellowish arrows... A standard looking sword, and a strange wooden shield. In addition, there was a kite-like item... A glider, and a tablet, which he wouldn't have been able to figure out had it not been for the strange voice in his head.

A sense of deja vu suddenly swept over him as the image of a small... Red Fox, yipping towards him... Guiding him towards the right direction suddenly crossed his mind.

Had he... Done something like this before?

Shaking his head a little, he focused on what the voice in his head was telling him, fumbling with the tablet a little before opening up a map, and poring over the locations available.

It felt a little odd for him to have a choice of where to go, rather than to be guided eventually in one, concrete direction, but in the end... He chose the most familiar path, to the West, although... Despite what the voice in the head was saying, he had not seen anyone outside the place he had exited, after grabbing the items from the strange treasure chest.

They had already split off in their respective destinations, but Enu didn't know that; for the time being, he thought that aside from the voice that had spoken to him... He was alone, but... Part of him didn't want to accept that, and so... He began his trek west, hoping to find at least someone.

The voice in his head did mention something about someone named "Magda" who he would meet, and sure enough... There was, but there was no sign of any others.

Seeing her expression when he eyed a spot where a flower seemed to be uprooted, he put two and two together and carefully began to step around the flowers... Even managing to give her a small wave before he carried on.

As he began to climb the hill, as the voice in his head had instructed back when he had been looking at the map, he noticed multiple weird... Sticky puddles on the ground, that were already beginning to fade away. Poking at one tentatively, it was some weird... Slimey substance, though the few indentations in the ground, not unlike what arrows would make clued him on in the fact that others may have been here.

Excitedly, he ran the rest of the way up the hill, noticing that there were others there already, in the distance... With what looked like some kind of river beyond, but nonetheless, it was company.

"Heeey!" He called out, projecting his voice as far as he possibly could.

Enu didn't even take time to properly assess his surroundings, but he managed to keep along the path, away from the flowers as he ran towards the group of people that had headed to the west. He was just ecstatic that aside from Magda (and possibly that strange voice that had spoke to him), he wasn't completely alone here...​
 
"Yeah, sorry Darius, but I don't follow 'leaders'. In life, every man makes his own destiny himself, not with someone telling him what to do! What Jin said, I'll work with you, but not under you!" Kaito looked around the Promenade, then opened up his Sheikah Slate. "Okay, looks like we need to head...this way! Let's get a move on, we're wasting daylight here! It's already noon, judging by the Sun!"

As they walked along, the group would notice they were on the right side of the Promenade-in more ways than one. This road was unified and would take them right to Kakariko. "So, where do you guys come from?" Kaito asked the group. "Clearly we're not all from the same place."

"Well, let's get a move on, then." Dell started walking. Peter would find he could grab four apples, and would learn that apparently stable owners provided them for travelers. "Don't worry about the village eating, bud. Kakariko is famous for its pumpkins and carrots." Dell began smoking his pipe, leading his little group down the road. "I gotta admit, I expected more folks in this group than others. A leisurely stroll to Kakariko...way better than fighting monsters, if you ask me."

"Well, that's pretty." Fred said looking over to the waterfall. "At least there's food if er need it. Got to be quick with your hands though so they don't escape," Seemed like Fred had other priorities, or his stomach at least.

As the group looked over the area they could hear a girls voice coming from in front of them. "Oh there you slowpokes are!" A girl with blond hair and dressed in green came into view. "Or I figure you guys are the guys the voice was talking about."

Fred inspected the girl for a moment before responding. She seemed to be about Pebbles age, a few years give or take. "Yeah...you lost from home too?"

"Sure am!" She responded quite cheerfully.

"Huh? What's Japan?"
Guy also pondered when Reimu appeared, scratching the back of his head quizzically, though it seemed to be of little consequence. He said nothing as the others around him namedropped places that they were from, places that he'd never even heard of before. One could easily assume they weren't even from Auldrant, but... If that was certainly so, then that'd certainly say something about this situation in general. That was all he could really think about it...

Once the group reached the river, he nodded silently as Kokkoro advised taking the raft, ready to get on and help her sail, before they ended up bumping into yet even more colorful characters. A dark-skinned boy, and... an eccentric looking guy missing a shirt. One of them definitely looked friendlier than the other, but then, Guy figured he shouldn't be making assumptions. He gave a wave to Enu to signify that he and the rest of the group saw him, an easy-going smile returning to his features. "Ah, good. More friends to travel with. Indeed, the more, the merrier," he said to Enu, before turning toward Clark (who seemed to be more reserved to himself at the moment, for better or for worse) alongside Shovel Knight, against Kokkoro's advisement.

"Yo! You don't look so hot there, mister. Need some help getting along?"

"Perhaps following the voice's lead would be best, as otherwise, it seems our situation will become quite heated..." Jin suggested with something akin to amusement at Kaito's story. At his questioning though, the amusement disappeared as he shook his head with a scowl, "No. All of us seemed to have awoken in private chambers and united here, so we've had few chances to meet such a person. However, she may be at the village as well?"

"My family are nomads, and in the summer months we travel across Central Asia." Azel answered. In truth, they had no specific place of residence other than the plains, so that answer would suffice he was sure.

"Someone else may have seen the girl you're looking for, hopefully you can reunite soon." Azel responded to Kaito when he asked about the girl he may have been with before waking up here, adding to what Jin said with a nod as he walked with the group.

The Drifter wordlessly moved past Linkle, cringing slightly as she uttered the word 'hero'. That word didn't conjure any unpleasant or pleasant memories for the lonesome wanderer, but it's meaning has been long forgotten in the antique world he hails from. That land is a hostile paradise, filled to the brim with strugglers, rulers, saints, sinners, and drifters alike, whose intents vary from good, repugnant or simply ambiguous in their boundless ambition to survive and preserver despite the tides of despair that befall them each and every day.

The Drifter pays no need to 'heroes'. There are those who 'get it', and those who do not. That's just how it is.

cough, cough, cough.

227cc33dee50757bdb2ca2e18f2844c8.png


Another short sputter of coughs escaped the Drifter. Though he tried to hide it, the ground beneath him was tinted crimson by the few drops of plagued blood that dribbled from his scarf. He shook his head and continued walking down the path, smearing the blood into the grass with his footsteps.

". . ."

The Drifter halted upon the group's arrival at the pond. The reflection of his own tattered form was visible in the surface of the water, staring back up at him with a mocking glare. The Drifter turned his head slightly to look at the small 'party' that had formed the Western group. He seemed to look confused when he noted that someone he 'knew' was missing.

". . .?"

He stepped forward, looking around the group for somebody. He looked downwards at the grass, expecting to see someone very short, presumably, but there were unfortunately no gnomes among their party. Once that was clear to him, the Drifter looked to the rocky cliffs ahead and abruptly moved on, expertly clambering over them with his thin physique and paying no heed to the complaints of the rest of the group.

The group heading north heard someone shouting after them. "Heeeeey!" Fred had made a mad dash from where he started figuring that he'd had a lot of catching up. Finally he was among the group wheezing for breath. "Darn, ain't as young as I used to be I could outrun a dino like no one's business!" Looking up at the group he'd notice that he'd missed a scuffle. "Sorry I wasn't around to help." Fred handed out his hand for anyone to shake. "Name's Fred Flintstone, hope we can do our best to get back home." Most of these people looked very odd and had very strange clothing, do none of them have the rocks to get themselves some decent animal skin? Instead of saying it out loud though he'd just give them all an awkward grin.
47 turned around and looked at the man. Nodding silently in agreement before motioning to him to follow.


Like the voice said, up ahead was a waterfall, with a small pond filled with fish. There were cliffs that seemed easy enough to climb, and a few mushrooms growing off the ledges here and there.
"Well, that's pretty." Fred said looking over to the waterfall. "At least there's food if er need it. Got to be quick with your hands though so they don't escape," Seemed like Fred had other priorities, or his stomach at least.

As the group looked over the area they could hear a girls voice coming from in front of them. "Oh there you slowpokes are!" A girl with blond hair and dressed in green came into view. "Or I figure you guys are the guys the voice was talking about."

Fred inspected the girl for a moment before responding. She seemed to be about Pebbles age, a few years give or take. "Yeah...you lost from home too?"

"Sure am!" She responded quite cheerfully.

"Name's Linkle! I'm a hero so you're lucky you ended up with me!"

47 looks up at the waterfall before noticing the little girl joining them. This was certainly an unusual group, even for him. "You can call me Tobias Rieper." 47 said to Linkle. His tone remained calm and relaxed.
 
"Eeeeaaaagh!!"

A male short in stature came running into the area, holding just a shield out in front of him. He was small enough that the object protected a majority of his body.

"Hey!" he yelled, stopping before the group. Tears streamed down his face as he peered over his shield. "I'm too delectable a treat for the beasts of these lands! You gotta protect me!"

If this truly was the 'safe' area, that fact was completely lost on the weepy male.

"You lot as lost as I am?"

A male approached the group, his array of weaponry giving him away as one of the many bound to this place as they were. He carried himself casually, looking at ease with the weapons he wielded and with the situation at hand.

"The name's Asher," he said, giving the group a pleasant smile. "Good thinking on the raft. Wouldn't want to get lost downstream."

Though he tried to look hapless and innocent, in truth, Asher was broiling inside. As far as he knew, he'd been shipped back to Essos against his knowledge, but that did not make a lick of sense. If this was some final Whitehill plot, they would have sooner seen him dead than part of some overcomplicated scheme. No explanation he could make inside his head was a satisfactory one, so all Asher was left with unease and a fire in his stomach.

The people before Asher could be either allies or enemies, but even after observing them for a time, he had been unable to come to the conclusion which they were. The only important question now was if any of them would recognize him as a Forrester.
