Welcome to Gaia! ::

"You have such a wonderful way of making everything seem cheerful..." he said in a mock exasperated voice. He rested a hand on the hilt of his flamberge and too his first step into the forest of death, hoping the warriors were up to there reputation.

Kerrigan was beginning to wonder why they let him go first, besides the fact he went first, when he saw something pop up a few feet in front of him and to the side. It looked like a plant, but it had elongated spikes all down its stem and they seemed to pusle into...its mouth?! He pulled back and Kerrigan knew what it was going to do, and it was a good thing he was fully armored in his country's finest made armor. It shot three large spikes at him and he put his arms in front of his face and kneck. One hit his abdomen, the other hit his left breastplate and the last one hit his gauntlet where his neck was. All of them would've led to death...and he gained a higher respect for this place. He ran forward, before it could 'load' more spikes into its mouth and dashed past it, pulling his sword out in one fluid motion. He slid to a stop and re-sheathed his weapon and turned to the rest, giving them a thumbs up...and then the plant fell in half. "Come on guys, this place ain't so bad"

"Kerrigan, this is but the start of the forest. The creatures and puzzles get stronger the deeper you go. As we approach the center, there will be a thick mist. That mist holds the strongest of all creatures that our people know of. But, these creatures feed on the mist, so they cannot leave it, which is why you only find them in the mist." Aiden said, getting closer to Kerrigan. The other three warriors seemed shocked to see what the forest could offer just at the edge alone and traveled closer to Kerrigan and Aiden.
As they traveled about a quarter mile, Aiden started to sense something amise about this forest, as if someone had already blazed through it twice. But he couldn't find any burns on this specific path, so it was just a hunch to him.

(So...Cal...you're using your exact character design for your real Caldoren it seems. Just a different name, and maybe a different appearance, but overall the exact same.))
"If you stay arrogant like that it may very well beat us. An overly large ego is this forest's best friend. Makes it easier to kill those who think they can take it without a sweat." Aiden didn't really care about his own advice he was giving to Kerrigan. With his knowlege of this forest and the combined power of Kerrigan and himself, with the slight help of the other three, was more than enough in his eyes.

"That itself is true. But if you haven't the time to measure even once, then it is better to overestimate your opponent than to underestimate. By overestimating, you expect more, even if your opponent can not do it. But by underestimating, your body automatically holds back and you won't be expecting what your opponent is going to do. In times of doubt, the best offense is a good defense. Wait for opponent to mess up, then use their own power against them." This here is one of the things that Aiden and Kerrigan had in common. Even though they speak in such a manner, deep and serious, they still have a calmness and a slight disregard of their own words. They know their own strength, as well as the strength of the other, and they both seem to know exactly what they can and cannot do. "But, regardless of the situation, you must always retain your honor and respect the code of chivalry."

"Kerrigan, promise me two things before we enter. First, don't kill off too many creatures in here. Second, don't die." Aiden took his place in front as he said these words. The three warriors following quickly. Two of these warriors carefully noting everything about all of their companions. As soon as the entered the mist, burns in the trees and earth became highly evident. Screeches and howls filled the ears while they did not while outside this evil mist. The creatures that both heaven and hell shunned confined to this very location of this very forest.

"There is a slim possibility that they are spies of some sort. There's always that possibility." Aiden whispered back. "So it would be wise for the both of us to make sure that, if they are spies, to make sure that their information on us is highly inaccurate. You always have to be careful when you live in one of the most powerful areas in this continent." Aiden gripped the sword in his off-hand and proceded into the mist.

"You know you're the only person outside the castle walls that's close to me, Kerrigan. It'll be too much of a hassle if anyone else finds out I'm a prince." He drew one of his two blades and held it in his off hand, acting as though it was his stronger one.
