"I've....been sped." Julius said feeling himself grow numb. He closed his eyes. "Alice. I'm sorry. I don't have an anti venom. I....I don't want to die yet....especially in front of a friend." He said finding no strength to get up. He noticed he was crying. He felt lower then the dirt beneath his feet. "I couldn't protect my steed, Charisma, and now myself." He said closing his eyes and looking up at Alice's. They were radiant red, odd, yet, they had something about them.

OOC: *cough* Check Charisma's supplies *Cough*

The poison was much more lethal than Alice had suspected, and suddenly she felt awfully depressed. His chances of surviving with only bandages was extremely slim, and she couldn't take much chances. She started thinking very deeply, hoping for the tiniest idea of what to do.

"No, you're not leaving yet, not without fulfillment" she quickly replied, even pitying him, she thought low of him to think he would die so easily, without even a fight.

A miracle struck, right there in her mind. Alice recalled Charisma having a few supplies with her, but the thought of rummaging through the bloody remains made her shiver a bit, and her eyes started tearing again. She wanted to get it over with, and went to where the beast threw the body to find anything that could help, at all.
Alice was surprised at her hopefulness, feeling like something good was bound to happen, but quickly forgot about it when she had to see Charisma again. She ignored the gore, and tried to see if there was anything left in her clothes. She found a blood tattered spell book, and after a few more moments, the exact thing Julius needed. She gave a thanks to her in heaven for even bringing anti-venom.

"Julius! Don't you dare fall asleep yet!" Alice yelled from a distance away.

She came back, holding the antivenom in her hand for Julius to see, hoping it would give him enough hope to apply it before he would go just yet.

Julius felt himself slipping away. He knew he was done for due to the wound and how fast the poison was spreading. There was not much a fight to put up as he lacked strength.

"No, you're not leaving yet, not without fulfillment" He heard Alice say just as she left. Then she came back, an anti venom in her hand.

"Julius! Don't you dare fall asleep yet!"

She held it and then began to administer it. Though he was weak, he knew enough the anti venom was administered fast enough. He gave a weak grin.

"Alice.....you know....your eyes.....they're not that bad." He said as he closed his eyes, half out of it. "I...think i'll make it."

A moment of relief finally came for Alice, Julius would make it, as he assured.

"Alice.. you know.. your eyes.. they're not that bad" she heard.

Alice's face quickly flushed red, and immediately turned away from Julius to look for her blindfold. When she found it, it was slightly starched with her tears, and stuck with a few bits of dirt. She rubbed the dirt off her shirt thoroughly until it looked clean as before.
.. He probably went stupid from all that loss of blood..

Nevertheless, Alice was holding back a smile at the mere thought. She just noticed that it was daytime when she looked up through the tree leaves, and felt cheerful, a rare feeling for her. Resting for a while before she and Julius could go back again seemed like a nice idea for her, and went to sit on her legs next to Julius, where she tied her blindfold back on.

Julius lay there half awake. Tired and exausted. He knew he would have to bury the body. He looked voer to Alice who was sitting on her legs, putting the blindfold on. He decided not to question it. It was odd to him, having to hide her eyes.

"I'm....sorry....scarying you like that." Julius siad to her. He felt feeling in his body slowly returning, but not his strength, not yet. He closed hsi eyes again. "If not for...." He stopped. Thinkign about Charisma again. He blamed himself for her death.

Serene followed after the man into the other door, having no idea what it would be like on the other side. As she entered, she looked around. It looked like a private office, complete with every object needed to make it look the part. She found a chair and sat down, to not anger the man there.

Black King stared at the apple left by the woman. He stopped caring about if it was poisoned or not, but now about how hungry he was. He moved his head towards the apple, and grasped the entire thing in his mouth, crushing it with his teeth. He enjoyed it very much, and it didn't seem harmful.

J put his book down when he heard the commotion, and walked over to where the body of the woman was. He saw how Julius was injured, but didn't think anything of it. He wasn't in the position to care about the matters of those people. "This is taking too long..." he began to mutter to himself "...I need to send this package right away..."

The oversized man again. Alice immediately lost her positive feelings. She heard him say something, but it was too far away and too covered in his breath for her to make it out. She assumed it was something alone the lines of 'how troublesome'.

"Oy, if you're gonna still go on about that delivery, wait a few moments, the man went through a lot" Alice told him.

That buffoon better get what karma owes him, if he weren't vital for Julius's safety..

OoC: Not much here.

The man was sitting in a chair at a desk, his feet propped up on it.

"Well?" He questioned, waiting for Serene to speak up about what her sinister plan was.

Julius heard Jay clear enough.

"Your a bastard." Julius muttered as furiously as he could considering his condition.

Anna watched the majestic black pegasus chomp down on the apple with its pearly white teeth and powerful jaws. She wished she could see the rider fly the creature into the sky. She imagined the pegasus soaring into the air its wings flapping powerfully, its mane flowing freely. She set aside her book and watched the pegasus while sitting in the arm chair.

Tania stood there, not shocked by the outburst of Serene, she knew that her attitude would return to normal, it was only a matter of time. She didn't respond though she remembered the time before she died, when she had slapped her with her lace gloves, the one inside the dragon. She shuddered, being eaten brought back horrible memories. She smiled at Tekun, he had said something to her but she didn't hear it, she walked over to an empty table and sat on the chair, her eyes staring blankly and her face void of expression. She sat there wondering about Rana, Tekun, her father, Tara, even Odinas who had temporarily saved her as well as Windy's life. She saw him in the netherworld as well, he didn't seem bitter or sad like Serene, he didn't hate her, he understood that it was accident why couldn't Serene let it go. She wanted to pound her fist onto the table or run into the arms of her father....or Rana. She felt so confused, did she really deserve to live?

Windy who did not want to go into the tavern trotted around outside with a happy gait. She saw Black King munching on something and she watched him "What are you doing?" she asked with her head c*** slightly

---

Violet's eyes widened to the point that they looked like they were going to pop out of her head. "Wow. You are really persuasive" she said. "Hmm...maybe I should write that down" she whipped out her notebook from her back pocket and wrote the phrase down while humming a few accompanying notes and writing them in the margin. "So can we leave...before something else happens?" she suggested. She would have prefered if they could run along the tree limbs but knew that Leon wouldn't be able to manage though she knew that walking on the ground would have its benefits because she could "stop and smell the violets" according to her.

Serene looked to the man. "I need you to kill someone for me." she told him calmly. "I would do it myself, but I'm not a good fighter, and if I ever tried, her 'guard' would kill me first."

Black King turned his head to see the other Pegasus move towards him. She was happy, which of course ruined his mood. Now she'll annoy him with conversation. "Why does it matter to you?" he retorted back with a snarl. "Go be with your dammed mistress."

After hearing Julius' remark, J became pissed. He had enough with this kid, and he had an ache in the back of his head that told him to just finish the job, kill them both, and send the package. "Look here. I need to deliver this package soon. This sword is too valuable to be out in a place like this. I need to send it to a friend of mine right away. If she doesn't get this, she'll be pissed, and when she's pissed, she'll kill you fast." He stopped, realizing he just gave away confidential information, Solis is supposed to be a secret to everyone else. "I would like to keep my life intact, and I suggest you get ready now, or I'm leaving you here to die."

"You're probably thinking about Violets, aren't you Miss Violet?" Lex laughed knelt down beside her, smiling. He whisked his hand behind his back and brought it around in one quick motion. A single violet was nestled between his fingers. "I stumbled upon this when conversing with our steer-like visitor." He blinked once and handed her the flower, smiling warmly.

Leon hastily put on his armor despite how much he ached. He got up only to stumble and have difficulty moving overall. He gave a big heavy breath as he held himself up on a nearby tree.

"Lets...... Get going." He said with a breathe inbetween.


"5,000 gold." the man said simply. "Up front. Also, about this guard? Him too?"

Eton and Tekun followed Tania who appeared to be in heavy thought. Tekun was worried about how she was feeling, after Serene's comment and Eton only felt it right to make sure she was alright. Tekun put his hand on Tania's shoulder.

"Tania, you going to be alright?" He asked her with concern.



Julius made an attempt to get to his feet. As he did, he fell back to the ground, making an umph sound as he did. He made another attempt and then one more. As he stood up, his legs shook, nearly falling over as he barely stood.

"I....need to bury her first." Julius said simply. "Wait....that long."

Serene pulled out a pouch of money. She threw out the bag on the man's desk. "Kill the guard if it's necessary, but you don't have to. I'll leave him in if you want to have a little fun." She stood up from the chair. "All the money you want, plus more, is in that bag. I don't really have any need for it, so you can keep it."

J nodded to Julius and walked off to the campfire perimeter. He overdid he bluff, but he smirked nonetheless. "Serene...Lefia...you wouldn't hurt anyone...you'd always have someone else do it for you..." He sat back down next to his trusted mallet and pulled out Lovely Day again, hopefully getting some reading in during the time he had to kill.

The man's eye brow rose as he grabbed the bag and felt it's weight throwing it up in the air and catching it. It felt like a good 5,000 to him.

"The person's name and description of them. Also of this guard. Any particular manner I should do it in?"
