Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aku turned to Kent smiling. It was as if speaking in this way had unlocked a certain door in her personality, allowing her to speak more freely, without fear of being heard out by unwanted ears. "Amin cael-wanwa e' um-quen-edhel..." she added with a small laugh of embarrassment. "Amin deloth-raika en' amin..." Aku stroked Maku's head as she spoke, her eyes glimmering with a certain kindness. "Amin gwaith cael-dai-omenta yassen Tel'Quessir..." she continued in a level tone. "Ten' mainka ar' raika rangwa..."

(( I know the dashes shouldn't be there, but they show when the words split. Did I make sense? sweatdrop ))

((Ummm, the ctrl f thing isn't working. I type in amin and it says it isn't found.))

(( Finally I am able to post razz ))

Before they had begun their journey, Ryoto had turned at once to face Anima who stood before him with some flowers. Intrigued, he bowed down and lifted her up onto his shoulder while patting Ein on the head. As he began tp speak with her, the band began to move on away from the darkness and the bridge. His eyes at once eyed the flowers which she held in her delicate hands, smelling a fragrance that he was not familiar with. "I see you have picked some flowers. And I am guess that they are not ordinary or have some spell cast on them." He smiled as he said these words, knowing full well that there was a reason why she had gathered the flowers which now unleashed a sweet scent that seemed to linger over the group. Before she even had a chance to answer, Jenya spoke at once, speaking to everyone in the group. It seemed, from her explanation, that they were going to go through the caves which would hopefully loose whatever was now following them. At once he agreed, only nodding his head which, in turn, continued the hike towards the cave. As they walked down the slope which led them to their destination, Ryoto was suddenly amazed by the fact that he was no longer in pain. Could it have been from the flowers. At once he turned once again to face the pixie, amazed by the powers that she possessed.

As he waited for her answer, Ryoto listened to both Kent and Aku as they exchanged words in elvish. It was actually the first time he heard the language spoken in his presence. He had heard of its beauty but words could not describe the tones which left each of their lips. It left him stupified as he stared at both of them, not believing what he was hearing. By this time the group had walked by the first cave and were now making their way past the second. Immediately, afraid they were being followed, the knight turned back to see if they were. But there was no one there. "Strange. I thought someone would have been on our heels by now...."

Anima rested against the knights neck, resting a bit under his hair. To her, the flowers were meant to be her lunch, but lucky for the group, she had found a very old flower, one she had once spotted in the elder woman's garden, a flower of healing and illsions. The scent would spread far and wide after being picked, creating an awareness to the bearer of the flower. While it also protected ones allies by creating fake illusions of them to the enemies.
Anima slowly moved up, gently placing one of the three flowers behind Ryoto's ear, "Do not pull this flower out..." Her voice of soft, obviously still a little weak. She gently laid back to rest against the warrior's neck. Part of her wings had unfolded, ahowing she was getting stronger as her faint blue glow began tp appear behind her.

Aku continued to walk beside the elf, taking in the fragrance of the flowers Anima had picked. When she had entered the cave, following the centaur, she gave out a small shudder. These places were of the sort which housed monsters that weren't to her liking. Such as various undead, monstous spiders, and creatures of the dark that remained forever hidden to the unaided eye. Upon hearing Jeyna's words, Aku came to an abrupt stop. Did the centaur know exactly what she was asking of her elvish friend? Aku herself, as well as the majority of her people, knew the customs of the elves rather well, being as they often share the same forests under normal circumstances. "I'm not sure that would be very wise..." she breathed in reply, looking from Kent to the centaur. "We could very easily lead the darkness to the city... Who knows if those creatures have something that counteracts elvish magic? Such a thing won't be forgiven..." Aku then looked to Kent with unsure eyes, knowing that elvish grudges could be held for centuries, if not longer, and that hatred would not only be placed upon all of their heads, but upon the heads of each of their races, descendants, and ancestors.

Giving a snort as she back tracked through the cave and headed down the trail to the next "I understand it's a risky proposal, but if anyone has any better ideas of how to throw the forces mustering against us off our track, I've yet to hear it."
Stopping mid track and turning to face the others with her arms crossed she tapped a hoof expectantly looking from one to the next. "Anyone? Please speak up. There's no point saving something for a rainy day that we all may never live to see."
The centaur was just a little disgruntled. She didn't want to die and their time was short. Jeyna didn't know how long it would be before the dark wraith reported in, or how long before something else was sent against them. The were scarce ready to handle more and she didn't know how often that little creature could pull of it's transformation. What if they sent a flight of dragons after them. What if the wizards just cast at them from afar. There were so many dark if's hovering over their future that she longed for some ray of hope to illuminate a path through them all.

Kent shrugged,"That shouldn't be a problem. What human would willingly travel with this sort of group? That could keep them from trying to kill you" Kent emphasized could slightly. He also avoided saying the location of the elves and if he would take them there. Maybe he could delay. Then he saw the liquid falling onto Ryoto's armor and unconsciously looked up. "What the..." He said as his hands reached for his dirks.

((I'm assuming it's either blood or spittle biggrin How cheerful I am about impending doom))

It heartened Jeyna to hear that Ryoto and Kent thought the plan was sound. She was about to turn away and continue when everyone began to strain their eyes looking upward toward the high ceiling of the cave. Her eyes were dazzled from just being outside so the could make out nothing. Shutting her eyes for a handful of heartbeats she waited so that her eyes would adjust and she would be able to see what was causing the hold up.
When she opened her eyes and scanned the roof nothing really stood out. It was dark and shadowy so she couldn't be sure. Taking a few more steps back in she tried to get a better angle to see around behind a hanging rock formation. Before the centaur could do this, a mass of jelly-like weight dropped to the cavern floor with a plopping splatter. It was an ooze!
