Neru glanced at the tied up farmer family in the house and the evil looking looking statue. He clenched his jaw, this was tricky to figure out. He needed to act fast but also needed to pick out correctly which was the tanuki and which one was real. The family could be real and the statue is one...
"Nah you can go do that I'd much rather attack." He said to Katsuyoshi before disappearing. It was around this point in time that the ambushers revealed themselves. It was pretty impressive watching all sorts of mundane and unobtrusive objects from nature transform into tanukis. More amusing...
Neru simply stood in silence as he observed Kastuyoshi doing his work. He anticipated the obvious, that an attack was rearing to go on them. The moment Katsu dropped the smoke bomb was the signal that it was time to go into action. He drew out and extended his spear while effortlessly...
The long trek had finally come to an end, it was an uneventful trip into the boonies and sure enough they were at a farm. "Hey Katsuyoshi, let's poke around the farm and maybe head towards those rice fields before we bother the locals." He said as he began inspecting the damaged crops. Just...
Neru moved through the wilderness as swiftly and stealthily as possible. His eyes watered, but not from the speed drying his eyes out, or allergies, or anything mundane. The answer was food. A large red fried chicken thigh was being firmly clamped down with his teeth, and boy was it spicy! From...
Lance couldn't help but be pleased at Trinity's recognition of the vineyard, despite being rather disassociated with the family business as he pursed the life of a swordsmen/adventurer. "Yup that's my family," he said to Trinity, " We've been in business for while, but I say 'we' loosely as I've...
"The names Lance, Lance Goodthrust," The man said with certain pride then adding, "Perhaps you've heard of the family name by way of Goodthrust Vineyards? "
He then took a sour gaze at the path of the now disappeared storm devil. It was a bitter moment as its demise was imminent but it managed...
Following the failure in cleanly mutilating the giant cloud demon's leg, Lance was busy making short work of the hordes of its mini-me's. One by one they fell to his blade which made them no more, but harmless balls of mist as they faded. Such was his concentration on the task that he lost...
Lance listened to the others speak out of deference from being the new guy onboard. Mickey's attitude and enthusiasm for kicking that giant thundercloud's ass was both endearing and invigorating. "Well that takes care of one part of the problem." He said in response to the sleep magic employed...
"I'll keep that in mind. Anyway, night." was all Lance said to her. He then left Erina, Rinzler, and Kai to do whatever they'd do and gonfind a place to sleep and get up early for work. Something big happening? All the better to get some shut eye.
Lance's sleep was interrupted by a strong...
The reunion between the two friends while surprising, did not hold any particular value to him. He merely just let Erina speak to this woman that appeared. He also watched this man, who turned out to be a knight act jealously over the attention of the Erina was getting at the moment from...
"Now why'd you do that for? No point in that when I'm here trying to wake him up " Lance said chidingly to Erina. Still, Lance reckoned he could always destroy the spell which would also contribute to jostling him awake by virtue of being touched again. It was then the man awoke with his...
Lance immediately wandered around the camp after his arrival. He didn't know where to go and it was already late and he needed to get ready for whatever happens tomorrow. As he walked, he noticed the rather bad condition of the encampment. The entire place was bombed out and had the stench of...
Lance stood up quickly as he was confident there were no threats around them. He then turned to face the woman again. "Yeah you can come along with me, but I got no plans on hiring you." He then continued leading them northward through the wilderness. While the day was already somewhat dark and...
Lance continued to move without much care forward towards the destination. It was only until the sound of a chant and seeing the magic accumulating over him to form the spell, that he stopped his movement. Finally, it seemed the situation regarding the girl and the others has revealed and...
Lance's relaxed himself the moment they didn't seem to go openly hostile. He had no idea what was going on with the demons and the redhead woman. He couldn't tell if she was their hired healer or if they were the muscle to accompany her to who knows where. It was odd but not exactly his...
Lance traveled through this new land looking for his destination. Having only been hired some weeks ago by some representative of Sumaru to add foreign fighters to the war effort. It was a boring and lonely journey through a rather bland landscape. He examined his compass to check he was going...
Unnamed Village - Outskirts
Khulan had already mounted her titanic horse and began riding alongside these strangers. "You're an idiot if you think I will work for peasant wages. Still I have chosen to follow you as you seem useful. Word of warning though, you cross me and I have...
Finally after finishing the meal and being dragged out of tavern by an overly anxious worker, Khulan had finally risen and exited to see what the big deal is. A most stupid look formed across her face as she still gnawed on a piece of bone with pork meat attached. There were soldiers and way...
"WHAT IS THIS A JOKE? THIS TASTES LIKE WATER!" The woman yelled angrily as a the flagon was hurtled into the wall. They said this "beer" was their finest and it tasted like water with the foam of milk and oddly bubbly. The wall was currently dribbling with bits of foam and liquid. Needless to...
