"No!" Tekun shouted and approched. "Don't touch them! It's been too long, you risk disease! Also, you may bring a curse upon us. Leave my clan be......leave them." He pleaded

Tania raised her hankerchief to her mouth and nose area, and covered her face, she was utterly disgusted. The man was actually touching them and carrying them like, sacks of meat. Her stomach gurgled threateningly, chiding her for making such a disgusting analogy. She sighed "Oh joy even more luck befalls us" She thought to herself, but the rude man may have had a point, what if some sort of necromancer was nearby, they would be severely outnumbered. She would not help the man but she was not going to stop him or get in his way, she turned to Tekun. "Tekun, perhaps you could lead me to the armory" she suggested, wanting him to get away from the scene "I can't really fight with a pan forever, and I need to get some lances"

Resisting her stinging back was now too much for Alice, and a second shock came, she could no longer stand up. The best she could do was give in to her body, and kneel down since it was inevitable that she would fall. She had about a split second to turn her body just as she realized she was losing her consciousness, and fell on her right shoulder instead.
After she was unconscious, her body turned to the left since she wasn't perfectly sideways, and it became visually apparent that she needed medical attention, the back of her clothing was stained red in the center.

OOC: Is it too late to join?

YES! DEAR GOD, YES! IT IS TOO LATE, GO AWAY!

THIS LEAVE!

Rana shook. He had spaced out again, nearly entirely. He calmed down and tried to focus. He felt more and more estranged with his reality every moment he spent with these people. Before he had met them the dystopian, macabre scene of the Black Horizon village would have made him sick... But as he looked over the villagers' bodies, feeling the missing piece of them, finding nothing inside their cold, rotting heads, he felt nothing. He ran imaginary fingers over the sharp, denticulate edges of death and he no longer bled. It appalled him, but at the same time he didn't mind.
Rana forced himself to the surface. He glanced over the newcomer carrying the bodies of the villagers and looked at Gabriel. The man was lying on the ground, groaning. Non-responsive. Rana looked to Tania and Tekun. Tania needed a weapon. Tekun would find it. Rana turned around abruptly and began walking towards a gate in a thin alley between huts. He would rest. He would think.


Gabriel groaned again and rolled on his side. He slowly pushed himself up into a sitting position. He moved carefully and delicately, watching Tekun, Nechis and Tana anxiously. His eyes had swollen and he looked strange, his strained expression contrasting with his finely groomed hair and beautiful robes. "I'm... I'm sorry... It's..." He realized that they all were beginning to distract themselves. His regret was replaced with anger, which was replaced with annoyance which was replaced with fright in barely a second. He began to stand, eying everyone, watching for anything. Especially the druid girl.

The pairs of eyes belonging to the orange-haired man ceased to glance at the expensively clothed man. A small, surrendering sigh escaped the man's chapped lips as he had again roused no visible reaction from the heavily garbed fellow, other than the man stroking his pale beard. Air sucked in Nechis' nostrils as he took a deep breath, pushing his fists into the dirt in order to get up from his kneeling position. The grand whiff again brought him to the attention of the heinous odor that filled the area. The sources of the odor had almost completely left his thoughts at this point, and he wasn't ecstatic about their return. The bodies were still scattered around the area, and they would have remained there until their decomposition if it wasn't for the irritating man who Nechis had just been staring holes into. He had appeared to be contemplating something unknown to the orange-haired man for a small lapse of time, but proceeded onto an unexpected activity.

He seemed to be hauling the cadavers of the slain to the clearing near them, but the reason was not clear. Nechis had begun to pose the question, but figured it was of no use; he'd be ignored anyway. While this man irritated him to no end, the expressionless look on the man's face gave the young man the impression he was not doing anything to harm them. Tekun obviously had crossed paths with the man before, and while he was fuming now, he seemed to have a liking for the fellow just a few moments ago. Due to these reasons, Nechis made no effort to stop the hauling man. He just stood off to the side, leaning on what was left of a wall, peering at the progress of what the pale-haired man was up to. As the pile grew, the man's motive became so painfully obvious that the orange-haired man felt the need to palm his forehead at his own stupidity. He was going to dispose of the corpses. It was even more clear that the young man needed a nap, as his mental capacity was not at a peak at this moment. A yawn grew in his throat, and left through the agape mouth of the dreary man. He hadn't felt this tired in a long while. Despite of this, he pushed himself off the wall, and grabbed the damp husk that was the leg of the carcass nearest him. He began dragging it to the pile, but he never reached the destination. He froze in place, as Tekun gave his reasoning against it. Nechis didn't care about running the risk of disease, but when Tekun pleaded to leave his people alone, he felt that his friend had more authority in this situation than "Zaspar". The body fell to the dirt, and the young man returned to the others, after making a gesture towards the pale-haired man to stop the process.

Serene still held onto Eton's arm tightly, she had tears in her eyes, formed, but not yet running down her face. "We need to find Black King." she told him, still worried about him. "If he tries to attack you again, I'll stop him." she looked into his eyes in a way for him to ensure trust in her. "I promise."

Black King circled above the village. His eyes were bloodshot and he was angry. He could see Serene was still hanging around Eton, and he was pissed about this. He was reaching the last straw, he started thinking of ideas of how he could get Serene away from him. Some ideas were more violent than others.

J woke up from his sleep and looked around. He stumbled around as he got up, and he picked up his mallet from the ground, and dusted it off. He now saw the rest of the group he was around. He turned his attention to a girl who looked badly injured, laying on the ground. He saw signs that she was unconscious, and carefully tried to pick her up. He turned to the group he was near. "I'm pretty sure I can help this girl out. My survival skills can be used to help her as well as they can help me." He was obviously seeking consent from the group, not knowing if this girl was with them or not.

"Are you mad?" Julius said looking at an unconscious Alice as he rummaged through his medical supplies, he had some left. Very little, but some. "For god's sake, you just collapsed on Charisma here, what's wrong with you!"

Eton wrapped his arm around Serene. "I'll take your word for it. Look, i'll help find him, despite what he did. But, if I have to, i'll defend myself. I'm sorry to say." He winced in pain a bit as he tried to get up.

Tekun drew his blade and pointed it at Nechis

Tekun saw Nechis join in and then stop, realizing his plea. He hoped Zespar would respect it and stop as well, lest he have to resort to violence to make them stop. "This way Tania, i'll lead you to where we used to store the weapons."

Tania smiled at Tekun, hopefully the tension between the new member would eventually cease, but for now, they were edgy. She pulled the handkerchief closer to her mouth and nose, covering the horrid stench of the rotting bodies. She whistled lightly and Windy trotted behind her though she had an idle look in her eyes and was staring up at the sky. Tania followed behind Tekun while pulling out the braid of her hair shaking her brown hair loose once again. It fell lightly on her shoulders, she was happy that she'd be receiving a regular weapon once again.

Serene smiled at him when he answered. "Thanks Eton." she said, helping him stand up. She saw how he was a little weak from being hit. "Do you need help walking?" she asked him.

Black King had enough of looking, and started to descend to the village. For a strange reason, he felt he would be better off having a conversation with the other pegasus than watching his mistress hang around with trash. He saw the white pegasus easily, and went down in that general direction.

J shook his head, and brought the girl to Julius. He set her on the ground near him and stepped away. Watching the scene, he uttered something under his breath, "just trying to see if I could help...don't have to attack me about it...". J picked up his mallet, turned around, and looked out towards the horizon. "Anyway, do you know where the nearest village is? Need to get some 'stuff' taken care of, and it's kind of important." he asked

Charisma slowly rose to her feet, looking at the man who had fallen on her. "Dragon Fang is right there." She said, pointing to where Barbas had entered. "But, someone who just went in said that it was dangerous." She wasn't sure where any other places where. "Ice Fang is that way, but it's burned down..." She sighed, reliving the moments near the village. "I don't know where any thing else is, sorry." She said to him as she began to dust herself off.

The women was hysterical already, another person alive in this hellhole. He took his arm without question and began to flee with him. Behind them, the mutant began breaking down the door to persue.

Julius began treating the women as best as he could using medicine and bandages. "It's sad but true, we should try and head to the plains, get out of the rough terrain. We might luck out and find a village that's not being attacked.'

"I think he cracked a rib." Eton said. "It wouldn't hurt to have some help." He said giving a slight grin.

Tekun lead Tania to a larger building, the door was broken down and there was a blood trail leading in. He looked around cautiously. "This is it." He said turning his head about. "Hopefully there's something left."
