Zen began to follow Ivory. Rei fumbled with her spear for a second, trying to hold it like she did before, and ran to catch up with everyone. Vulutail, however, dashed ahead of everyone, pausing to let them catch up before starting the process over again.

Takumi looks over at Nagei. She didn't seem upset that the crows were killed. "Do you think our answers are at the castle?" Nagei asks. "Even though the librarian said they would be, how are we certain?"

"Well, it's not around anymore, but the world I was in before I came here was this big school. It had a festival going on all the time!" Rei explained, taking the book from Zen again to show a picture. "There were also these labrynths Zen and I had to go through. They were full of scary Shadows, but we had a bunch of friends with us to fight them." She pointed to a picture of a masked, shadowy blob, which was apparently one of the many types of Shadows.
'Castles are the stuff of legends. They're full of secrets! Kinda like the shrine I was trapped in once!' Vulutail said, nodding to nobody in particular. 'Who knows what's there?'

Takumi looks at a broken structure near a giant path. That must be...! "It's a town, but something-" Nagei starts, but Takumi pulls her down. "Get down, beast!" Takumi says.

Rei opened her mouth to reply, but hid behind Zen when she heard Takumi. Zen drew his crossbows, trying to see where the beast was. What would it be? A bird? A sharp-toothed beast?
Surprisingly, Vulutail didn't seem very rattled. Or concerned. 'A beast? Sounds fun! Let's see... yeah, Metronome sounds fun!' He hopped off to the side, waiting for the beast to show itself.

"In the sky! They are circling..." Takumi says, keeping his voice to a whisper. Nagei looks to see three large black birds circling over the ruined town.

"Rei, if you don't want to-" Zen began, but Rei shushed him.
"I'll be fine. I can always hide if I need to," she insisted. Zen sighed, but didn't argue, running after Link. At this range, taking a shot wouldn't turn out well. He'd have to wait for the birds to descend.
Vulutail, meanwhile, was swaying from side to side again, covered in a blue aura. 'Here, birdies...'

Takumi rushed out as Nagei took cover in the underbrush. Takumi fired a shot from Fujin Yumi. "Come down and fight!" He yells. The three beast came down. However, one didn't look like a bird. It looked like a mix of a dragon and a bird.

Three enemies. No time to waste. "Frozen Spear!" Zen shouted, firing an icy shot at one of the birds. If all went well, it would pierce through to the bird behind it as well.
'Metronome, Metronome... Hydro Cannon!' Vulutail's flame went out. He pointed his tail at one of the birds, sending out a powerful blast of water. After the attack was done, he fell back, panting. That had taken a lot out of him...

One of the birds vanished as if it... "It's using some sort of illusion... Or." Takumi heard a scream as one of the birds was pecking the underbrush. "Why you little!" Nagei used the dagger to harm the bird.

Zen grit his teeth and fired twice at the bird. How did it do that? Magic, most likely. Beside him, Rei tightly gripped her spear, preparing to run over to Nagei the second she got the chance.

Nagei screamed as the bird continued to attack, biting her arm. Takumi fired again at the bird.

"Soul Slice!" Zen fired a dark arrow at the bird, trying to make it let go. If it continued to attack Nagei, then...
Vulutail stood up, although he was still tired. 'Whew... better than exploding, at least. Now where are all those birds?' Bird Number 1 was attacking Crow Girl, but he wasn't sure where the others were.

"Help!" Nagei screams, pulling her arm away, but the bird kept a tight grip. Takumi shot an arrow at it. It still won't let go.

"Soul Slice!" Zen fired again, but the bird seemed intent on keeping its grip. How persistent was that thing?
Rei hesitated, taking a shaky breath, before suddenly charging forward. Despite Zen shouting for her to stay back, she stabbed at the bird. "L-let her go!"

The bird let out a staggered cry as it let go of Nagei's arm. Nagei held her arm in pain. "Ahh.." Nagei says, clutching her arm. "I-it hurts!"

Rei got down on one knee next to Nagei. Her hands were still shaking from adrenaline, but she managed to focus enough to cast her spell. "Life Goblet," she muttered, sending out light to heal Nagei's arm.
Zen stepped between Rei and the bird, firing at it to give her some protection. Thankfully, being this close meant that he was affected by the spell as well.

Nagei felt the pain in her arms go away. She looks to see Takumi charging towards the bird. Speckles caws, looking at Nagei's arm.

"Are you alright?" Rei asked, looking at Nagei's arm. It seemed to be healed, although she wasn't sure how deeply the bird had bitten.
Vulutail finally decided to do something. He couldn't let everyone else have all the fun, after all! Waiting until Zen had fired, the flame-tailed fox took a running leap towards the bird, trying to kick it with his strong legs.
