In due time

[Ranger]

Samuel sat on a rocky out cropping with over looked the castle from a distance. With his keen eyes Samuel could just barely spot movement behind the windows of the palace. He sighed softly, he seemed to be missing something or someone. His cat ears perked forward as he strained to hear anything from within the castle walls.

When he heard nothing Samuel sighed again, his scarred and nearly hairless tail twitching behind him. Samuel stood and turned, making his way down the mossy rock out-cropping. Once back on level ground at the base of the trees he made his way back to his small camp. It had few people in it, most were from the raid on the castle Samuel had done months ago. He still didn't know how he and Moon had pulled it off.

[Fenrier]

Hide deep within the forest a small camp composed of few hide tends around a small bonfire grant some refuge for a small fugitives group. It was starting to get dark an Ashina the wolf Akravios pleased some dry branches an locks inside the rocks circle in the middle of the camp, these were for the bonfire they only dare to make at night because the smoke were less visible at that time, because his experience living alone in the forest Ashina has become the in charge of the hunting trips and the bonfire since he joined the group a few months ago when Samuel take him out of the jail, place were he had been tossed for nothing , at the start he didn’t understand why the panther guy has help him, not even knowing who he was, but once he hear his story an all the injustices the Arkavious were suffering an have suffer some of those injustices in the jail, Ashina understand an thou it was more for gratitude he pledge his loyalty to Samuel and his cause.
Being bery carful the wolf man ignited the bonfire making sure to do it in a way that won’t let go to many smoke, he knew well how to do this.
Ashina was still busy whit the fire when he saw Samuel coming back to the camp -Something new? – he asked as Samuel approached.

[Ranger]

Samuel looked up at Ashina's words, he shrugged. Samuel seemed a bit despondent "just worrying about someone" he muttered, moving to help him with the fire. Samuel knew something of forest living as well, his father Rothgar taught him well. His tail twitched behind him as he stoked the flames a bit "unfortunately we cant rescue her yet.... " he said softly.

Moon walked up, finally out from his rock that was his tent. He seemed to never come out anymore, at least to everyone's knowledge except Samuel's. "Samuel, i need to speak with you when your ready" He called, it seemed he had news. News that may or may not be important to Samuel.

[Fenrier]

-umm.. a woman e?- Ashina commented in an indifferent tone, introducing the tinder stone he used to ignite the bonfire inside he’s leather pants pocket, “ that will be nice “ he think looking at the fire dancing, he didn’t know a lot of woman’s.
Samuel, i need to speak with you when your ready" he hear Moons voice an turns he’s head to see the guy out of his tend, - Should be something important – he say to Samuel, Moon didn’t come out so often.

[Ranger]

Samuel smiled softly "yea... shes some woman" he said. Samuel then turned when he heard Moon, standing he stretched lightly "Ashina, you can join us if you like" He said. Samuel had grown to trust the wolf Arkavious, though he was still getting to know him and the other refugees.

Moon nodded and sat on a nearby rock, waiting for them to be finished with the fire. This wolf Arkavious despite being rude and unkept, was a patient person. He cleaned dirt out from under his claws while he waited.

[Faola]

Rith walked through the forest humming quietly to herself. She brushed the bushes with her hands now and then just to feel the leaves and shifted her bag now and then when she felt it strain her shoulder. "Thing is useful though...",she muttered to herself when she finished the tune she had been humming.
It was full of her belongings:Herbs,two blankekt one for sleeping on and the other to warm herself with. Some stones to start a fire and food for the next week or two depending if she hunted or not.
Looking up she tried to see how high the sun was up in the sky through the leaves above her. Giving up not really thinking it was that important she shrugged and skipped on humming another tune her mother had taught her.
The tune was one to to calm a child and get it to take a nap. It was calming even to the one humming it.
She stopped after a while and munched on some dried meat she had. She sat down and litened with her eyes closed and pricked her ears when she heard some voices somewhere to her left. Getting up quietly she headed towards the sound hiding where she could. Rith knew she wasn't a good hider or stalker, but it was worth a try. When she stepped on a twig she froze and instead of being caught like a fool she straightened and walked forward making a little noise on purpose.
Rith didn't expect to see three other Arkavious and stopped stunned and surprised at the sight.

[Ranger]

Samuel's ears twitched as he heard someone behind them, he turned quickly to see an Arkavious female. He blinked in mild surprise, which soon faded as it seemed they might have another willing to help their cause. "it seems we have a visitor" he said, then to the female "your welcome to join us, we were just talking" he called to her, beckoning.

Moon looked to see the Arkavoius female as well, being the philanderer that he was Moon was instantly interested. He always was a lady's man, but he never had a long lasting relationship. This was because Moon could not have children of his own, an incident had occurred while in the Dungeon with Samuel. After their escape attempt, that was Moon's punishment.

[Fenrier]

Ashina nodded at Samuel words an follow him were Moon was waiting, not like he matter to much what the guy had to say, but he didn’t have anything better to do either, also should be good idea to hear what’s going on, since he join, Ashina will usually just do anything Saumuel asked him for without many questions, but recently he has started to wonder one or two things about the plans an the general situation, so he figure it was better to pay more attention to Samuel am Moon words “ what pain in the ass” he think taking sit near Moon an Samuel , he really didn’t like that socialize thing, being an hermit all his life the wolf man just wasn’t good at that.
Ashina waiting for Moon to start the chat, suddenly he’s hears pricked at a broken twig noise an then more noise, he stand up an turned toward the sound – WHOS THERE! SHOW UP! – he demand staring at the place were the sound come.
But then he’s expression changed when he saw the intruder, it was a woman, " speaking of devils" he tink folding hes muscular arms, an look away trying not to stare at the female as Samuel talked to her, he wasn’t good at socialize but at least he knew it wasn’t good to stare at females, last time he get an slap all over his face for "beig so rude" , that was the first time he realize he stare at people without even knowing.

[Faola]

Rith blinked when the panther Arkavious beckoned her closer welcoming her. Nervously she glanced at the other two noticing they were wolf Arkaviouses like her and relaxed slightly.
Walking closer she stopped at a certain point where she could include all of them in the conversation and said: "My name is Rith Uisce and I thank you for welcoming me."
She dipped her head in a little bow and then forgetting a bit of her nervousness smiled warmly at all three of them asking: "May I ask what your names are?"
Her silver tail was wagging slightly and her ears pricked forward expectantly waiting for the answer to her question.
Rith watched all of them not being obvious about it. She was curious how or why they came to be here without any provisions. At first glance Rith would have thought they were a hunting group, but where were their weapons? Rith could see no obvious ones. They couldn't be a small tribe since every tribe had to include a female or else there would be no future for the tribe.

[Ranger]

"Mine is Samuel Kil`to, kind of the leader i guess" he said, not sure if their little refugee party even had a leader. His ears flicked as some of the other refugees wandered up the small hill to see who this new Arkavious was.

Moon stood, preparing to introduce himself. "I'm Moon Shining" he murmured, seeming to take on a much more relaxed and easy going nature once she had arrived. Yet, Samuel who had known him long enough knew that Moon was mentally undressing this female before them.

[Fenrier]

Ashina turned to se the female again when she spoke intruding herself an asking for their names, he then waited for Samuel an Moon to introduce first an when this last one did it in a really easy going an relaxing tone Ashina stare at him, that was way to different of how he hear the guy talk usually, probably Moon has an eye on the female already he figures . - Ashina - the wolf man finally look back at the female an introduce himself whit the same indifferent tone has always

[Faola]

Rith nodded quietly her acceptance of the names, but glanced nervously to the other Arkavious coming towards them. She relaxed a little when Samuel said he was the leader. If he was their leader how bad could the rest be? Moon and Ashina seemed rather nice as well. Remembering her mental questions from earlier she asked:"IÄm guessing you are a pretty new tribe if at all. You don't seem to have any real place to stay or any thing with you so I'm guessing you are running from someone or something. Am I right?"
She grinned happy about her own logic and raised her tail a little to show a little dominance or superiority.

[Ranger]

Samuel smirked "yea, your pretty dead on there. Though were not really a tribe or a pack... more of a refugee camp. Most of us have escaped from the Kings Dungeon" he replied, looking to all the Arkavious who were around them now. "at the moment were not really running.... more of waiting for an oppurtunity to rescue anyone else still there"

Moon nodded comfirming Samuel's explaination. He gussed now was a good as any to tell Samuel the information he'd wanted to tell him. "Samuel, speaking of rescueing people, Bree is in the Dungeon now. I'm guessing her Brother Ethanial threw her down there" he muttered "the King seems even more unstable"

[Fenrier]

Ashina fixed his eyes on the female ones when she speak an raised her tail , finding a little pretentious that attitude he also rise he’s tail a little, Ashina wasn’t the boss there but it was the woman the one intruding in they territory , then nodded at Samuels words whit his arms still folded across he’s nude chest an relaxed he’s tail, though wasn’t sure if was good idea to give all that information to a estranger Arkavious or not.
-Who’s Bree?- he asked when Moon finished scratching he’s chin an looking at the tree ceiling.

( OOC: XD yea I know Bree is the princes but Ashina don’t )

[Ranger]

(thats a good thing :D)

Samuel stood rigid at Moon's words, his hair standing up a bit "Bree is the woman i mentioned earlier" he murmured, suddenly on edge. He looked at Moon once more, unrelaxed "how long ago was this" he growled.

Moon didn't even flinch at Samuel's sudden mood swing "a few days ago, i asked Nurse Burcham and she has been sneaking food. Seems old Ethanial's been starving her" Moon said, watching as Samuel struggled to remain composed.

[Faola]

Rith frowned at the mention of a Prnicess Bree. How could run aways like them know a princess? Or the king or prince for that matter..."Allright now I'm confused.",Rith said frowning trying to understand,"For starters who is Princess Bree or Prince Ethanial? Or wait...how about you guys tell me your story and then I'll be able to understand."
She was absolutly confused. She had been taught to avoid humans at all costs, but these Arkavious seemed to have been living and interacting with them. Samuel must have had a high rank for how else could he have known this apparent Princess Bree.
Then remembering Samuel having said that they had escaped the kings dungeon she remembered her duties as a healer and suggested:"Well I don't know if you trust me that well yet, but I think since you escaped out of a dungeon you might be hurt. I was trained to be a healer and have some medecines with me. Why don't you tell me your story after I heal you guys?"
Rith grinned knowing they might not trust her yet, but she had to ask. It was her duty as a healer and she thought she might want to stay with this group.

[Fenrier]

“Bree is the woman i mentioned earlier" Samuiel explain – oo.. I see- Ashiuna muttered for himself looking back at the group, Samuel seem to start getting a little worked up, look like this woman Bree was someone important to him “ his girlfriend maybe?” he think but keep his question for now, that wasn’t seem like a good moment to ask.
"Allright now I'm confused.", Ashinas attention get back to Rith when he her voice, the wolf man has forget about their visitant for a second “For starters who is Princess Bree or Prince Ethanial? Or wait...how about you guys tell me your story and then I'll be able to understand." She asked taking Ashina by surprise – WAA? PRINCESS? – he exclaimed looking back at Samuel – Are we gona rescue a human? – he ask a little incredulous, why to rescue a human? An further more why to recue “the princess”? , sure the fact that her brother has tossed her in the jail was hood, but that only prove that humans were indeed a mischievous creatures, so what kind of good will come to rescue one?, an one that was closely related whit the king that threw them all in the jail. Ashina trusted Samule but didn’t understand why he could want to do such a thing
The wolf thugs were then interrupted by Rith "Well I don't know if you trust me that well yet, but I think since you escaped out of a dungeon you might be hurt. I was trained to be a healer and have some medicines with me. Why don't you tell me your story after I heal you guys?" she say, Ashina shacked he’s head an stare unconsciously at the female -Wait a sec miss, why don’t you first tell us what are you doing here before we start telling tales? - he say to the female, they had given her a bunch of important information but they didn’t know a thing about her yet.

[Ranger]

Samuel was still having trouble holding composer, he was sitting on a rock, trying his best not to shake. He was loosing that battle, but it was obvious he cared for Bree greatly.

"since Samuel is incapable of responding, i will" Moon said, stepping foreward. "i agree with Ashina, explain yourself first before we explain ourselves, and thanks for the offer" he paused "but our escape was months ago, were not in need of a healer" Moon then stopped to listen to Rith. He glanced at Samuel every now and then, not realizing untill now how much his friend cared for the Princess.

[Faola]

Rith nodded understandingly at their request and said:"Yes, you're right. Allright now where to beginn..." Thinking for a moment Rith tried to decide where and when she should start with her tale. Then with a flick with her tail she started:"I was born in a valley to the west and grew up there with my parents. I was trained as a healer by my mother who was very acomplished at it and passed down all her skill to me. I left at the age of 18 to travel. I met a few tribes and learned their healing ways to expand my knowledge. I met a few humans as well..."Rith narrowed her eyes a bit angry now remembering. She had stopped talking for a moment and then continued:"I had once accidently blundered into a village. They attacked me, but I escaped though not without an arrow in my thigh!" Crossing her arms she grinned saying:"Now that I have told you my story how about yours?"

[Ranger]

Moon glanced at Samuel as her tale ended. Samuel appeared to be recovering, he still shook a bit. "sorry about that.... i was still listening" he appoligized. Samuel then stood and sighed, running a hand through his bangs. "Moon and myself were kept in the dungeon, both for unjust reasons. So were the others in our group. Bree and Ethanial are brother and sister, though Ethanial is more of a demon than he thinks us to be". Samuel paused "Bree is a long time friend, we care deeply for each other, though our bond is frowned upon by most. Especially by her living family, her father and brother". Samuel turned to Ashina "yes, we are going to rescue her at some point, sometime soon..... it is because she is a part of our cause. She and the Nurse Burcham are some of the few humans who would bring us food while in the Dungeon. Though they were found out many months before Moon and I's escape." Samuel finished.

[Fenrier]

Ashina folded his harms again an listens to Rith story “ so she’s a traveler” he think when the female finish then turned to Samuel who talk next, Ashina was a little surprised whit he’s relation whit the princess, he didn’t know that part of the history, “ so there is good humans after all?” he think, he’s experience whit them was limited since he live most of childhood an youth deep in the mountains, for the wolf man the humans become much more stranger every time he learn something new about them – If you say so ..- he answer to Samuel affirmation that they will rescue the princess, he didn’t trust any human yet, friend of Samuel or not but if he say she was good then she was good, an if she wasn’t then the only thing Ashina had to do was kick the air out of her an show who was the boss, it doesn’t matter if she was a woman.
-I lived in the mountains until these armored guys come an take me to the dungeon for nothing but being there in my home, then Samuel rescue me - he correspond to Rith an explain he’s situation making the long story short.

[Faola]

Rith listened intersested and her eyes widened in surprise at the explenation to Ashina about Bree. It was beyond her how any human could be kind to any Arkavious. When they revealed their plans to free Bree she forgot her shock and they had her rapt attention. A little adventure would do her good. Nothing very exiting usually happened to her when she was in the wilderness so a little excitment would be a change. Especially if it involved danger.
Rith stare at the ground thinking. Should she join this little band of rebles to free a princess and most likely overthrow the king? It could lead to problems. The remaining humans would hunt them even more thinking them a threat, but if they didn't start fighting back they would still be hunted no matter what.
Looking up again after a long moment she grinned and declared:"Well I was planning to visit my parents soon, but I think I could delay a while and join your little band. You'll be needing a healer anyway if you plan to get the princess out and something might go wrong or the Bree could be sick so she'd need a healer. Oh and I should probably ask you this:",Rith chuckled at how she was acting and added:"May I actually join? I totally forgot to ask!" Rith grinned at the group before her hoping they actually would accept her.

[Ranger]

Samuel shrugged "if you like, but unless you can fight you cant come with us to rescue bree.... we'll only be taking a few of us" Samuel muttered. He then stretched lightly, looking to Moon "the guards been heightened hasnt it?" he asked, Moon nodded.

(sorry its so short )

[Fenrier]

Ashina nodded at Samuel affirmations they weren’t playing , the situation was dangerous despite if they went or not to rescue the princes, they were “Wanted Arkavious” whit high recompenses over their heads and that wasn’t funny at all – You must be crazy to join us- he say to Rith, they sure need a lot of people if want to take that little revolution somewhere , but that didn’t mean to recruit Arkavious who don’t now how to fight or don’t have the need for it.

[Faola]

Rith snorted at their comments and grinning exclaimed:"Of course I can fight! How else would I have survived out there with all those humans hunting us? I never was taught, but I taught myself a few tricks." Then turning her gaze to Ashina she chuckled:"If I'm so crazy what are you doing here?" Rith flicked her ears towards the egde of the clearing having heard some noise. Frowning she turned her head to look out there. She didn't see anything at first at the ground, but when she looked up to the branches she gasped in surprise and stepped back.

Scàth sneezed and sniffed angrily. She was getting a cold. If she didn't find any Arkavious with healing skills she'd be in trouble. She stopped for a moment exhausted. Then she morphed into her jaguar form and climbed up a tree with her bag clinging to her back. She wanted to see where she was by looking for landmarks outside of the forest or in the forest. Poking her head above the leaves and fear struck inside her when she saw a castle in one direction. She climbed down a little still on one of the lower branches. Thinking she jumped from tree to tree. Then when she saw the trees clearing up a bit she headed for there. Scàth sneezed a secodn time in mid jump and flailing with her claws she barley was able to grasp the branch. Clawing the bark she pulled herself up gasping in exertion. She sat for a while to catch her breath and looking onto her back she chekced if nothing fell out. Turning to the next tree Scàth braced herself for the jump feeling another sneeze coming on and feeling very dizzy. When she jumped she held her breath and landed on the branch sneezing again. That was when she noticed the Arkavious in the clearing. A wolf femal had heard her sneeze and had turned to look for the source, but only when she looked up did she see Scàth. Scàth stepped back, but didn't find the branch. She was still dizzy from her jumps an with a shocked yowl she fell off of the tree into the clearing. Another sneeze came on and Scàth just lay there limp. "I hate colds...", she muttered miserably. She was embarassed of falling out a tree in front of so many people.
