'A plague?' Morcan nervously said, before rubbing the bridge of his nose. He chewed his bottom lip, glancing out of the window again, deep in thought. After a long while of thinking, he finally turned back to them. 'Alright. I'm going to head further inland, see if I can find anything.' He said, turning and heading for the doors.

Kafzel waited quietly for Lucifer to speak and when he finally did and Vituna responded, he huffed lightly and nodded. Before Kafzel had the chance to say anything to Lucifer though, Jin took Lucifer's arm and turned him to face her. Her gaze sharp and pointed as she looked at him, "You are a leader Lucifer, just speak up about it." she told him simply before going to help assist some of the ladies. She glanced to him over her shoulder though and nodded simply before continuing to go help pack.
Kafzel blinked in surprise before smacking Lucifer's shin with his staff lightly, "Hey, listen to her." he added lightly as he 'looked' down at Lucifer, "What happened?" he asked lightly as he arched a brow, referring to the moments where Lucifer seemed aghast and unable to muster any words at all. Usually he was quick to speak and talking all the time.

No!" She ran after him and stood in front of him, knowing full well he wouldn't dare go through her. "You are not going further inland. Th-the things that live there...wights, monsters...the fairfolk." She shuddered visibly, obviously terrified by the thought. "They scare me even more than the wights do."

The twins both reacted nearly as violently as their sister. Ceyer yelling out a complaint immediately and Ceres giving him a look akin to saying 'are you really that stupid?'. "You'll lose your way in the storm without any proper sort of direction." Ceyer added lightly. His eyes flicking to Tonija as she spoke of the other creatures that lay far beyond their city walls. Ceres actually rolled her eyes then as well before looking at Morcan and nodding, "Really, going out there on your own is a pretty...." she paused to catch herself before insulting him, "It would more than likely lead to your death." she finished simply as she squeezed Ceyer's arm lightly.

Usually he was quick to speak and talking all the time. Lucifer simply looked very, very uncomfortable at Jin's reaction, and backed up from her nervously, before jumping as Kafzel hit him, glowering at him, disgruntled. 'I dunno. Tongue tied.' He replied, shrugging. 'She's tough. Didn't know what to say.'

Morcan, as Tonjia expected, came to a nervous halt as she moved in front of him, not daring to try and budge past. He glanced between the siblings as they spoke, looking a little irritated. 'What, you call me here to help then won't let me investigate? I can't do anything if I don't go to the source. I'll be fine- I came prepared. Not to mention I have Thorn, and I'm an Elemental. I'll call on Potentia to keep an eye on me when I go out- I'll be fine.' He then looked at tonjia, examining her seriously. 'And the fairfolk wont have any effect on me at all.' He calmly said.

Kafzel actually chuckled then at his response, "Alright." he nodded simply as he teasingly prodded Lucifer with his staff again before leaning on it and waiting for the ladies to be ready to leave once again. His mind flicking to Lucifer once more and wondering if he would be alright. He sighed lightly and then his stomach growled loudly one more, "After this, can we take a break and eat?" he inquired at the loud rumble from his stomach.

Tonjia examined him closely, her eyes fixing on his. "Two days." She warned. "Two days, and you come back, else those things out there will be the least of your problems. But..." She smirked slightly. "You leave tomorrow. It would be rude of me not to offer you food and rest after your journey here. And some extra provisions."

Lucifer replied, blinking at him with a warm smile. 'I packed some dried meat that I set out yesterday afternoon, and a few pouches of berries.' He watched as the girls began to come over, then smiled at them and led the way, tucking his hands into his pockets. He considered telling Kafzel about the connection he'd made, but wasn't entirely sure he wanted the Diviner to worry about the path that was clear in Lucifer's eyes.

She smirked slightly. "You leave tomorrow. It would be rude of me not to offer you food and rest after your journey here. And some extra provisions." Morcan examined her for a moment, then sighed and nodded. 'Alright then. It'll give my wound time to heal, at least.' He glanced down at it, watching as it very slowly knitted itself together. Perks of Potentia. The next morning, Morcan dressed himself at Tonjia's bedside, clearing his throat slightly. He glanced over his shoulder at her form beneath the sheets, and his lips twitched upwards with warmth. 'Hey, Ton? You've got a few, ah, bite marks... on your neck. You might wanna leave your hair down today.' He gave her a cheeky grin, starting to tug on his armour.

"You're a little sh*t." She mumbled from under the sheets, obviously not bothered about the marks. "And its not just my neck." She yawned, then rolled over and examined him. "Please try and not die." She said, watching as he got dressed.

(OH MY GOSH TONIJA AND MORCAN ARE SO GREAT!! XD)
Kafzel heard a few whispers about Lucifer and his looks, maybe a few about himself, from the girls but ignored them and scoffed lightly before turning and head off next to Lucifer's side. Jin had fallen back to walk next to Vituna, enjoying her company over Lucifer and Kafzel's, most just Kafzel. She had something against him for some reason. Kafzel's stomach gave another small groan and he rolled his foggy eyes once more before continuing onward at Lucifer's side.

He then glanced back at her and reached out a hand, gently touching her cheek and stroking it with his thumb, watching as the frost melted at his touch, brightening her cheek with warmth. 'I won't die, Tonjia.' He murmured, before grinning. 'I've got five days before I need to go home and kick my new recruits a**es.' He got to his feet, slinging his bag over his shoulder. 'I'm not leaving you alone again. I promise.' He added, knowing her fear for him stemmed from his kidnapping.

Kafzel's stomach gave another small groan and he rolled his foggy eyes once more before continuing onward at Lucifer's side. Lucifer heard it and rummaged in his sack. 'Walk and eat.' He said, handing the Diviner a pouch of meat and berries. 'Sorry it's not much, but we're a little limited out here.' He grinned. Vituna eyed up Jin. 'What's your problem with the blind guy?' She asked, adjusting her grip on her staff, using it a little as a walking stick.

Kafzel blinked as Lucifer shoved the pouch at him but nodded and took it, eating a few strips of the meat and then a handful of berries before tying it back together and giving it back to Lucifer.
Jin rolled her eyes lightly, "He's pompous, sarcastic, dotes over Lucifer like he's a child, and doesn't even belong here. We all are here before we train and worked hard to be here." she muttered. Jin knew what Kafzel was and understood the powers and the importance he held but, still it ate at her a bit. She was bitter and hard-headed to say the least. "I just don't particularly like him." she finished off simply.

"You better not, else I'll find you." She stared at him, before she stood, pulling the sheets with her, and walked to the mirror and examining her neck "Also...you better hope my mother doesn't see these." Tonjia laughed. "She'd hang you by your...well, I don't need to finish that sentence, do I?"

He explained, before moving a little closer so his shoulder was touching one of Kafzel's wings, glancing about the forest. He had a weird feeling, but he wasnt sure what. Vituna raised her eyebrows at Jin, glancing over at Kafzel to examine him. 'Seems alright to me. He feels like a higher power.' She then curiously said. 'He has a strong aura.'

'I'll be back before you even know I'm gone.' He said, now speaking in his Varezian drawl. He winked at her, before letting her go and pressing a prickly kiss to her forehead, finally heading out of the door, and downstairs. He left the castle and climbed onto Thorn, who huffed a sigh and took off.

Kafzel nodded quietly and then felt Lucifer's mood shift a bit, "What's wrong?" he inquired as he ate a few more of the sweet berries, his stomach finally settling a bit and seeming to relax as he ate while they strolled through the forest.
Jin rolled her eyes once more, "That's another thing I don't like." she added lightly. It wasn't that she didn't like higher powers, heck he mother was an Ancient, it was the fact that he was here and Lucifer had something to do with it all. A son of Legion with a demonae on his back and the power to control shadows too? Jin huffed and shook her head, "Nevermind, I just don't like him." she muttered. Ever the one to be irrational.

'I'm not sure...' he curiously replied, stopping and sniffing at the air. He recognised the scent, it just wasn't hitting him at the moment. 'Nothing... I'm sure it's... fine.' He murmured, trailing off as he continued to lead. Vituna snickered at Jin's opinions, shaking her head. 'Maybe he's here to protect him from something.' She said, grinning teasingly at the other woman, before shaking her head and glancing back at her group. 'I'm sure it's nothing to be concerned about.' A few hours later, they'd arrived back at the camp, and were starting to head towards the gate; but then the scent hit him again, and he finally recognised it, coming to a halt. 'Sulphur,' he announced, sounding very confused. 'I can smell sulphur.'

Jin sighed lightly and shrugged, then glanced to Vituna as she assured her women. They continued on behind the two men silently until they reached the gates and Jin let out a light sigh once more, wanting to get something to eat and then settle at the wall-top to just observe and look-out.
Kafzel arched his brow then, "Sulfur?" he questioned as they all stopped behind him. Why would there be the smell of sulfur around here? He let himself examine the fortress ahead of them and then the surrounding area, searching for any signs of demons. They usually accompanied the terrible smell and a demon run-in was something Lucifer did no need another one of.

They usually accompanied the terrible smell and a demon run-in was something Lucifer did no need another one of. Lucifer frowned, finally spotting the prints in the sand- the wildcat prints from the night before. He approached and crouched down, seeing the sulphur inside of the prints. 'The damn thing was a demon.' He gasped, getting to his feet. 'We need to track it down- it could be dangerous.' He headed quickly inside, ready to get together a team. He'd take the leaders, first and foremost- everyone knew their jobs. 'Everan, Aerith!' The two Blond males' heads shot upwards as they were called, the son of Draco blinking at him pleasantly. 'Yes?' He asked, walking over. 'We're demon hunting.' Lucifer replied, turning to look at Vituna. 'Alright- the rest of the girls, go inside!' He called. 'Jin, Kafzel, with me. Vituna, please oversee the fort.' He politely added, and the woman nodded, heading inside. Lucifer then led the way, clutching the daggerat his side tightly with nerves, following the prints.

Kafzel blinked then, connecting and nodding, "We should have taken it out last night." he muttered simply. His wings ruffled a bit and then he glanced towards the auras of Everan and Aerith, recognizing the feeling of Aerith's now that he and Jin were in close proximity. Siblings. He then turned back ahead, "Let's get going before it gets too far." he nodded to Lucifer, ready when he was.
Finally something exciting, Jin nodded lightly and brushed back some of her wild brunette hair. It was in a long ponytail today and her eyes sparked with anticipation. Then they flicked towards Aerith and she nodded lightly to her 'sibling' of sorts. She adjusted her arm guards and nodded to Lucifer, signalling she was prepared to go when he gave the order.

Lucifer led the way, Everan helping him track, Aerith's chin tilted upwards and his nose twitching as he tried to catch a scent. He wrinkled it slightly. 'I can smell cat.' He said. 'That's the demon. Follow it.' Lucifer said, and Aerith and Everan took over, the two trackers now leading the mission with permission from Lucifer. It took a few hours, before they entered a clearing and came to a halt, Aerith frowning at a sleek black tabby-striped wildcat laying on a rock, bathing in the sun. Their claws were ridiculously huge, and they had two bobbed tails, with ram horns curving around their ears. They blinked open Amber eyes, and their head shot up, baring sabre fangs and hissing a warning, getting to its feet. Lucifer narrowed his eyes on it, unsheathing his knife. 'What're you doing on the island, puss puss?' He murmured, slowly advancing, Everan and Aerith circling around. The wildcat released a rumbling growl, arching its back and hissing again- gaze focused not on Lucifer, but totally on Kafzel.

Kafzel and Jin followed in suit, the Draco-daughter scenting the smell as well and following near to Everan and Aerith quickly. Though her eyes shot to the cat and narrowed a bit, her hand reaching for the hilt of her sword, drawing it slowly and taking to circle the cat as well. Watching close to it.
Kafzel stopped at the clearing's each and tensed a bit as his 'gaze' fell upon the burning red aura of the devil-cat. Clenching his jaw he began forward, his hand holding tight to his staff and his wings adjusting beneath the robe. "What are you doing here demon?" he muttered in a low, dangerous tone, something none of them had yet to hear from him, especially not Lucifer. His features were changed from the normal stoic to that of hate towards this animal.

His features were changed from the normal stoic to that of hate towards this animal. Well, would you look at that- it's mommy's favourite little boy. the demon hissed- the words were violent, but his voice was enthrallingly beautiful, and Vituna found herself wavering in her intent. Everan hesitated too, nervously examining the creature. Dont get your wings all ruffled, mommy might have to fix them for you. it then spat, slowly coming down from its rock. 'What's your name?' Lucifer demanded, staring at him. As if I'd answer that question. How rude. the demon replied, moving so quickly it was hard to follow, before suddenly it was slowly rubbing itself against Lucifer's leg. A mommy's boy and a daddy's boy. What a perfect pairing. You two should hold hands and skip into the sunset. he sneered. Lucifer found that he really, REALLY wanted to pet it, and awkwardly reached down, running his fingers through silky-smooth fur, unable to resist whatever aura this thing had around it. 'You got a problem with our parents?' Aerith asked, glaring at the wildcat. Only two of them. Draco is quite lovely, actually... she understands demons. And Magia? She's fellow feline. I'd never touch a hair on her pretty little head. he murmured, circling the group now, one delicate paw after another, making no sound at all. 'What's your problem with my father?' Lucifer questioned, staring at the beast. Oh, nothing, really... but a little word of warning. Don't rely on him too much. Eventually he'll run away and leave you for dead. it snarled, digging claws into the earth as it mounted its rock again, glaring at them all.
