Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sparrow hovered a bit away from the group, worried by a lack of reaction. They didn't see her as a threat, at least, but now she was at a standstill. She couldn't just join the group, but she didn't want to simply walk away after seeing that someone was hurt.

"After a fashion, yes." Sparrow said, greatful that the person had noticed her. "It's not magical healing, though." She warned, walking slightly closer.

"I can only do some minor elven healing on Chii. Can you help?" Alendys asked Sparrow, sure that another elf would come in handy. Turning to Chii and knelt down beside him. Alendys started encircling her hands around the air above where the kunia pierced Chii. Blue wafting smoke started forming where her hands were. "Try to be as still as possible."

Chii did as the two women asked him and soon enough he had enough strength to at least be able to walk. He then led the group down into the valley to the home of his master, a vast temple filled with thousands of monks and other martial arts experts and fighters. There seemed to be a very warm breeze and air that only seemed to be in the temple, almost like standing next to a fire. The people began to clear out as a tall man walked out of the temples main doors and began to approach the group.

The man approached the group " Welcome to our temple. I trust Chii got you all here safely?" He asks, his voice very arrogant and making it obvious he was the one in charge at the temple.

"Actually, Chii has been hurt. He was poisoned by the thief when he attacked us on our way here". Victor says, holding Chii up over his shoulder and presenting him to the master. The master hovered over with a grace that wasn't seen very often. He examined the wound and motioned for two monks to come over and take him inside the temple. " We have prepared rooms for you all". He says simply, With just a hint of worry for their guide in his voice. He looks over at Sandrin and noticed the knife wound. " you best get that wound checked with Sandrin, before it gets infected. Poison is not something to be underestimated". he says, turning his back. He then simply turns around and heads back toward the temple.

later that night....


" It just doesn't make much sense Sandrin, does it?" Victor asks, Finally taking his armor and hanging it up on a stand. " How did he know we were coming?" He asks, looking over at Sandrin, continuing their conversation about the master of the temple. Victor and Sandrin had been paired together in a room, as all the hero's did.

Victor began to pace the room. " I don't know..." he says uneasily. " Something about this just doesn't seem right. " I caught a glance at the way the master was looking at me. It just didn't feel right. And as old as I am, These tired eyes were able to catch something when you fought Nathan. he hesitated. ". Victor says, rubbing he temples. " I don't know. I just...I almost feel like..." Victor walks over to a window that out looked over the temple grounds then turns around. " It's almost like we are working for the wrong person". He says. Victor begins to pace the room again when suddenly a loud crash is heard right outside the room.

Alendys paced back a forth, wondering how they knew just who was coming to get the item back. She didn't want to think about being watched, for if she didn't realize it, that would mean that she is an unskilled night elf. Hearing the loud crash also, she followed Sparrow, having shared a room with her.

Sandrin rushed out. His eyes perfectly adjusting to even this dense darkness, magical or not, Sandrin could always see in the dark. He passed Victor, the Headhunter out of its case as he moved past.
