Mikel shrugged, a wicked grin on his face, "Yeah, yeah. I understand. But you don't know this kind of darkness, prince." Mikel nudged Matthias' side and moved forward, glancing back at him, "Follow me, then, prince!" He chuckled, sticking his tongue out, before swiftly striking his tail up to propel himself downwards, moving closer to the darker parts of the ocean, close to the bottom. Mikel was excited about finally exploring the Abyss, as he liked to call it, but he was also relieved. He was mainly just happy to have someone coming with him. He was too...anxious, thinking about going alone before. What if something was down there and tried to eat him or something? At least now he had someone to help him. Unless Matthias left him to get eaten. Which wasn't ruled out, either.
Oakley smiled and nodded, rubbing at her shoulder. It was beginning to ache again. Holding up wings like she did wasn't always easy, especially when they had the wingspan size of thirteen feet. It was exhausting, sometimes. "Sounds alright with me, as long as we're careful." She sighed, "I trust you to make sure nothing comes up...don't spoil that, alright?"

IC :: The blonde paused watching as Mikel started off. He almost regretted this, but after a minute of thinking over whether he would keep to what he said, he moved his tail violently to catch up to the other. Down, down, down. Towards the bottom of the very deep ocean, where nobody bothered to venture due to the absolute darkness. So why was Matthias following Mikel down there? The prince could not recall, but continued down anyways until he was barely behind Mikel.
--
"I will do my best, and if something does happen you can trust me to take care of it madam." Nicholas purred out letting her hand be free with a small kiss to it. The ark haired male gave the girl a sweet grin before turning away from the angel- or rather the bird person. "Ready to follow, my lady?"

Mikel wasn't really fond of darkness, but there was no point in turning back now. Plus, he didn't want to appear scared in front of the prince. After all, if all else failed, he'd have to watch the prince's back too. The prince was, well, important. So the prince needed to get out if something happened. Or it would be Mikel's tail if he lost him. Or worse. "You still back there, Matty?" Mikel asked, trying to sound amused, though a nervous quip cracked his voice. He hoped the other didn't hear him. He wondered what they would find while down here. Maybe something scary and fun. Or something dangerous. All were plausible answers. Actually, it was probably something more scary and dangerous than fun, but Mikel digressed. At least he wasn't alone. But, he realized he was putting Matthias in danger as well, and that wasn't the best idea. He grimaced, hoping nothing happened and turned his head, getting a small glance of what he could see of Matthias behind him, "I heard there's treasure down here...like pirate treasure! Cool, right? We could get some gold and bring it back to the castle." He laughed, hiding his insecurities.
Oakley moved closer and decided to place a hand on his shoulder, acknowledging her trust in him. He may be a stranger, but he seemed like a knight more than a rebel, and she trusted him to get her there safely. After that, she was sure she could handle herself greatly. She didn't like to appear weak. But with her wings the way they were, she had to act accordingly. And right now, going with him to see what this rebellion was about so he could find her proper clothing to cover herself up and to show her about the rebellion was the best option. "Yes, of course. Show me the way..."

OoC :: Ack, sorry for disappearing. Doing fine, been a little busy, you?
IC :: Matthias answered with a nod to the head a slight hum in the sound of a yes. He had realized that Mikel was correct, he hadn't exactly been anywhere this dark. He had been to dark places, but those places were at least illuminated slightly due to the guards that followed. But there was no guards here, nor was there any form of light but the light from the surface that only reached so far through these thick waters. "That would be an interesting find, so deep down here. I have heard vague rumors of what lies down here as well, though none sounding as pleasant as finding pirate treasure."He barely saw Mikel's face looking at him right in front of him so he moved quicker to see him better. "If anything, I've heard about creatures down here that hoard treasures like that. But most assume them to be sleeping, dead, hidden due to the lack of deaths recently- nothing coming out from the abyss to get food. Hopefully that is the case,"
--
Nicolas smiled gently as she touched him. He was glad of the luck he had, he had managed to meet such a pretty girl with wings. And now he was bringing her to the rebellion camp to hide those beautiful wings, though he still was unsure what exactly she was- all he could do was call her an angel. And then he would show her what they were doing with the rebellion. He was very glad with this turnout, who knew going on a walk out here would prove useful. (Skip to the rebellion camp?)

Mikel could feel a shiver go down his spine at Matthias' words, "Heh, yeah. I hope so too..." He continued downward, not even really sure where they were going, when a small pinprick of light started to glow a little ways away at the bottom, or close to the bottom. It moved a bit, then dimmed, then moved again. Mikel tilted his head in curiosity, eyebrow raised as he watched the glowing light move slowly. "What is that...?" He asked, softly, so whatever it was didn't attack them, if it could attack.
(yeah sure ^^) Oakley breathed in deeply, hiding all insecurities and fears as she followed the man in front of her. She had to trust him. After all, she wasn't too sure of humans, but with this guy, he didn't seem too bad. He hadn't lied yet, so she assumed. Everything he'd told her sounded believable. However, she could remember something her older sister had said about human males like Nicholas, so she also held her ground and barricaded her heart. She would not get hurt if something bad happened. She would still leave and move on with her boring life. But first, she wanted to see what this rebellion was all about.

OoC :: Keep! Don't worry Smore, since I've been awful at being on here.
IC :: Matthias was confused at first, unknowing to what Mikel was talking. He scanned the surroundings before his eyes were brought to the partially glowing.... thing. "Whatever it is, I do hope it is peaceful." He observed as the lights moved gently and slowly, it was mesmerizing to watch. "It is... wow." Matthias knew it wouldn't be a smart choice to get any closer to the thing, the blonde was unsure of what it really was after all. But the urge to get near was driving him to move the slightest bit before it.
--
Nicholas was glad to see the place bustling with noise just like ever, however it made more of an obstacle as he looked at it. He knew where spare clothes were at least, not too far from the edge of camp. Though, keeping her from the sight of any before they reached there- or rather her wings, otherwise he would just eed to fear another trying to flirt a storm with her. Which was silly since he never had that worry before. "Why, this way my lady," he hummed out to Oakley moving towards the camp in an area he saw had the least amount of people.

Skyler thought about it for a while. "I don't know. Most of my ideas are pretty crappy. Which is why I had asked you. I'll just choose the one I think best out of mine. Ummm... What if I hang upside down on a branch, so that way I would have to find a way to carefully find my way down if I wanted to attack you? Though I could slip and fall down. Or the branch could break..." She thought out loud. She shook her head, drifting away from her thoughts and looking at the other girl again. "Anyways, did you manage to come up with any other ideas?"

Mikel's eyes widened as he noticed Matthias getting closer, and reached out to grab his wrist to hold him back. "Wait...that might not be a...good..." He looked over at the glowing light and could feel a sense of calm. He wanted to get closer. He had to get closer. Instead of releasing Matthias' hand, he moved along with the prince, eyes on the light. "This is probably not a good idea..." He muttered, though he didn't act upon leaving. The glowing light was moving closer, dimming and then resurfacing. Mikel was trying to think of what it could possibly be, but something was dragging his mind, messing with his thoughts. He wanted to see the glowing light.
Oakley had her arms across her chest, her wings closed in and pressed against her back as far as she could. She knew the shirt could cover them slightly, but they still stuck out if someone was looking at her from behind. She stayed close to Nicholas, making sure he was always close so no one would see her. She also watched at the bustle of humans around her. It was thrilling...and scary. But the noise filled her with excitement and she was eager to get to the other side of the camp, wherever he was taking her. "Is this place always busy?" she asked him softly, eyes looking around in wonder.

OoC :: Okay, so I badly failed at responding. So sorry.
IC :: Reina pursued her lips, momentarily forgetting she was talking to a thing of nightmares. The warriors of the sky- and the sirens of the sea, two very scary beings in the world. "Hmm. Well that might work. Ooh- can you show me your teeth and nails? To make sure you're harmless! Right? I can fight off somebody without teeth or claws I think. So how bout it? Uh... what was your name again?"
--
Matthias wanted to respond, but the light was so compelling. There was something wrong, he knew that there was something wrong- you didn't just go towards the glowing light for no reason. Not when this was a dangerous area of the ocean. "This is bad, we shouldn't keep moving forward," but his body rejected his mind and still followed forward. He saw whatever the thing was shift slightly and Matthias wanted to freeze. Because shifting was not a good sign. "It might eat us." He said in a whisper, unsure if he was really talking aloud to Mikel. "We might die if we get closer."
--
"Why yes it is, pretty angel. Lucky thing too, lots of supporters for our cause. And still, not even a fraction of the king's army. Which is why we've chosen to sneak in with our rebellion rather than get into one of those huge dramatic fights." Nicholas answered gleefully. "Well, better start down, right?" He said with a small chuckle offering his hand for her to hold as they would navigate their way to the extra storage.

(It's fine, I'm pretty poofy on here too) Skyler nodded, before giving a wide smile, aiming to show most of her teeth, which weren't sharp. Except for the canines, of course, but those were just average sharpness. Then, she first showed her fingernails, which were slightly long, but not triangular or that sharp. Finally, she pointed at her toes, moving a few as she did so. Her toe nails were not sharp, either. They, too, were a bit long, but looked human enough. She then realized she forgot to answer her last question,"Also, my name's Skyler"

She moved her hand across the ground feeling the grass under her fingertips. Ooh! Soft grass. "My, Skyler- you must sit down on this grass! It's by far the softest grass I've ever felt! Feel it!"

(hey there! i could have sworn i responded but i guess i didn't ;.; oops sorry)
Mikel's grip on Matthias' wrist tightened as the thing shifted. He breathed in, more like a hiss, but his eyes were still on the growing light. "...we need to stop..." He muttered, compelling himself, or at least trying to, in believing his own words. They needed to stop. Stop... Mikel was just barely able to make his body close his eyes when things shifted. He couldn't see anything, but maybe that was the best. The light was gone now. He could breathe... He tried to halt his body, even though it was difficult, but he was eventually able to do so. He tried to keep his grip on the prince's arm firm, trying to stop him too. "We have to go!" He cried, tugging on Matthias' arm.
Oakley hummed in response, stilling looking around the area. She placed her arm with his and let him guide her towards the other room. Her mind was reeling with all the new information, and she had so many question. She just wasn't sure what she wanted to ask, though. Who even came up with the idea to start a rebellion like this? Are they genius? She tried to think about what would happen if the avian society had a rebellion. It wouldn't be a large one. They hardly knew one another. Well, at least she didn't. She wasn't a social butterfly or anything. It was hard for her to have friends.

OoC :: I understand that, it has happened to me once or twice.
IC :: Matthias eyes snapped open, "F**k," The strange thing was constantly shifting now and Matthias feared as though it was shifting towards them. He started to force his body backwards, trying to keep Mikel with him. He was glad he did so. He was very glad he had pit even the small distance between where they had been and where they were, still moving backwards.
He saw large teeth, larger than his own body, snap together alongside another set of teeth. It continued to move though, Matthias believed the thing had realized it hadn't gotten them. It helped Matthias realize that it was out to kill based o the look in it's eye. A large, golden eye who stopped to stare at the two, there was a bloodlust in those eyes. It was frightening. "What is that thing, Mikel?"
--
Nicholas looked at her, to see how she was reacting to this place. "There is a medical tent, we have a few scattered across the place. Though, it isn't all that likely for anyone to get harmed here. Out and about on a current if anything, the occasional patrol as well. We have horses as well, but that is across camp." He said as he led her through the crowd carefully. He was glad the hadn't been stopped her-
Nicholas jinxed himself. "Nic!" Fabian Riles just had to show up. "Hello friend, how are you doing? Oh, and my friend's friend, who may you be miss?" Fabian looked straight to Oakley.

Mikel had to grab a hold of Matthias' shoulders to steel himself as the prince pushed them backwards. His eyes finally opened to land on that beast, and he nearly cried out in fear. The gold eye must have been the light, or maybe it came from the glowing particle along it's head, now hidden as it's true form was released. The sight made Mikel's stomach drop. It was HUGE. And it looked ready to kill. It was hungry. Very hungry... "I don't know, but I don't wanna stick around to find out..." He murmured, trying to stay quiet. He moved his hand to grasp Matthias' again, "Let's go before we become it's lunch!"
Oakley, who had been listening to Nicholas' little tour and looking around intently, was nearly startled out of her skin when the new stranger addressed her. She turned her head to look towards the new person, eyes wide in curiosity and also nervousness. "Oh...um, my name is Oakley. W-what is your name...?" She asked, stepping closer to Nicholas' side. She was now used to his presence and the presence of the many people around her, but she was not used to the new presence in front of her, addressing her and having their eyes on her and making her known. She was used to the crowd moving around her and Nic, but this was different.

IC :: "Oh hell," Matthias whispered. He had never heard about anything like this. Not once ever in his life. He had never seen a similar creature- nothing remotely on this scale. This thing was larger that a whale- It's head seemed bigger than one for sake! He squeezed Mikel's hand slightly before moving around immediately, possibly dragging Mikel and twisting to get them out- and he swam. He had fought and practiced against others at the palace, but.... nothing like this, ever.
Dare Matthias admit, he was truly afraid of this beast. Was this the reason that there were no survivors of the Abyss? Because there was a monster living under it? Living in it, ready to kill an intruder by luring it with those strange lights? Was that thing the cause of so many deaths and disappearances of friends and family to others?
--
"Oakley, nice to meet you. My name is Fabian Riles and-" The brunet had given a wink after his first sentence. Until he was interrupted and looked darkly to the person who had interrupted him, obviously not amused with Nicholas.
In which the raven-haired male had spoke midway through Fabian's speech with an annoyed voice. "And he is a douchebag who doesn't deserve my sister, the end. Speaking of which, Fabian is taken and really shouldn't be winking at people who obviously are not my sister- remember Fabian? Jacqueline, my older sister by a few months? Great, glad you remember- bye bye."
"Woah woah woah," Fabian interrupted. "Now, let's not get hasty Nicholas, I was simply being friendly. In fact, I was curious why you brought in another girl into camp, after last time. But do I know?"

Mikel grunted in shock as Matthias began to drag them away from the beast, a loud growling sound coming from behind them. He tried to keep up with Matthias' pace, trying to get a bit ahead as he could feel the darkness behind them thickening, the beast following them upwards. So, yes. This was a bad idea. This was hella bad. Very bad. He'd probably get exiled for this. Taking the prince to the abyss and nearly getting them both killed, especially the prince, by an unknown beast? Yup. He better live these last few hours while he could. "Ya know, I'm supposed to be protecting you!" He said, panting as he made his way closer to Matthias. Their hands were still linked, but he was now head to head with the other merman. He wanted to chance a look behind them, but he decided against it. That would only slow them down, and probably get them killed. Not a good idea. "You're the prince, remember?"
---
"Uh..." Oakley glanced a look between the two, her eyes wide in confusion. Was this how normal humans interacted? Surely not. Were all males as flirtatious and outgoing as these? She hoped not. It seemed a bit wild, in her opinion. "Well, it's nice to meet you, Fabian." Oakley said as she glanced back at the other dark haired human, "Um, Nic here was just showing me around. I'm sure it's probably a normal routine, but I was curious of the camp and wanted to see what, uh, what this was about." She nodded, "Also, I think I could be helpful in this endeavor, if the people here would have me..." She hoped he didn't see her grimace as her wings began to cramp up. She was having them folded for far too long...she hoped nobody behind them could see them. It was starting to be painful... She took a step closer to Nicholas, nudging him slightly.

IC :: "I may be the prince, and you may be a temporary bodyguard, but you can't exactly guard me if your dead, can you?" Matthias replied. Under circumstances that did not have a possibility of them dying, he would have given a smirk and his voice would be more of a teasing. Of course, this was no time for something like that. Not when there was a creature going to kill them right in their tail.
Matthias wondered how large it was, considering its eye- it's head was way larger than the two of them, its body must stretch rather far, it had to be huge as well. Matthias wondered briefly whether it be better to die than lead the beast to the surface, to others outside the Abyss. Well, their options were to die, to run somewhere away from the kingdom for a while until it left them qlone, or lead them to an entire civilization. Matthias figured which one the best option was.
--
Nicholas looked to her and nodded. "Exactly, now Fabian, if you do not mind I have more to show her. Meanwhile, you can go -" die in the fiery pits of hell. He didn't finish it as Oakley was still there and it wasn't something to say in front of a lady. The dark haired male sighed lightly before turning away and making sure Oakley followed behind him as he left Fabian standing their, the male rather suspicious.
"Of course Nicholas, don't mind me," the other said with a small Bob to his head before he left, suspicions ledt alone for time being.
As Nicholas and Oakley reached the tent, he had her go inside first. "I am sorry about him, he likes to put me in as much suffering as he can I've seen. Whatever he says, don't pay mind to it for it is stupid and foolish for him to say anything."

Mikel gave a sharp laugh at Matthias' response, sounding more like a pant and less like a laugh. This was starting to get exhausting. Stealing a look over at the prince, Mikel noticed the worry and fear in his eyes. He grit his teeth. He was the bodyguard here...and this was his fault. He needed to do something... He heard a soft sound from the side of him, and he glanced over while quickly flexing his tail to propel them upwards. It was a collection of rocks tumbling down the side of the abyss, and it's when Mikel noticed the small cave like place along the side of the rocky wall. It was small, but big enough to hold him and Matthias, it appeared... "Follow me!" He cried, tugging at Matthias' arm as he moved him to the side, just nearly letting them dodge the oncoming attack of the large beast. He began to swim towards the cave, hoping the creature was too distracted and slow to follow.
--
Oakley chuckled softly, looking around the tent curiously. "Sounds like he's just a nuisance to you, in my opinion. And he's with...did you say your sister?" She tilted her head as she looked back at him, "Have you told her how much of a flirt he is?" Also, she caught the suspicious glint in Fabian's eyes and she was starting to get just slightly nervous. If he tried to find out more about why she was actually here or about who she was and her wings, they'd have to do something. And she really didn't want to have to do something so drastic. She wanted to keep to herself with her problems, more than anything. But she also wanted to help Nicholas greatly and that was the problem. She was terrified that this was too selfish of her. She wanted the adventure, the excitement from her boring life as an avian-being, but...at what cost? She didn't want anyone to get hurt. Especially this new man who was happy to show her around his home and the rebellion.
