Serene turned her head to the door as she heard Eton's voice. "Eton, I'm awake." she said softly. She turned back to the window again, and saw Black King looking into the room. He was staring coldly into her eyes. Freaked out, she stumbled backwards and fell over the edge of the bed, falling to the floor head first and hitting the ground with a loud thump.

J calmly strolled to the rest of the group, noticing one member missing, the one he fell on the day before. "Well, what's going on?" he began asking "Where's the rest of your group? If you want to continue onto the next town, I need all of you with me. No one gets left behind."
Once explaining, he muttered something else under his breath "...unless you're willing to pay..."
He pulled out his novel and began reading it once more.

Tania chuckled as well, Tekun was right she did need to put on some of the spare clothes that she had, though she was disappointed that she no longer had her armour, she was overall happy just to be back in the land of the living. She walked over to a covered area at the side of the inn, she couldn't believe she was going to change outdoors but she had no room to go to. Windy walked over to Tania's side and raised her wings creating a feathered barrier that she could change behind. She took out one of her more refined dresses it was a sky blue, and not too long a bit passed her knees, but not too glamorous. She took off the cloak and put on the dress, and put on the extra leather boots she had in the saddle bag as well. She missed her special cloak with the hood but wearing something was better than nothing. "Ok Windy" she said, and Windy lowered her wings. "Let's go give this cloak back to Tekun"

Anna saw the man receive the water, after doing his humorous charades act. She felt sorry for the poor man, though she couldn't resist a quiet shuffle. She withdrew into her room, stacks of books were everywhere, she thought it was about time she began to return the books the the library within the inn. She took one of the piles and slid open the door with her toe and went down the hall towards the library. She placed the books back into their rightful places then saw a book that caught her eye, she took it from the shelf and sat down in an armchair beside a window, where she could see a woman dressed in blue with the white pegasus she had seen earlier, though she was more interested in the black one.

---

Violet's eyes widened "oh sweet muse protect us" she said in a shocked voice. She was prepared to ditch these curses in human bodies and jump for the trees. The minotaur looked vicious and not one for tea parties. Though she knew he probably belonged to a majestic race she still mainly thought of minotaurs as talking cows. Though those thoughts weren't necessary at the moment she looked at Leon and Lex "What do we do?" she asked getting ready to spring like a rabbit.

Upon hearing Serene fall, Eton opened the door worried.

"Serene? I hear a loud bang, everything ok?" He asked.

Tekun approached Tania and took his cloak back and put it on. Everything seemed right now, they could actually relax and catch some breath now. So much fighting and conflict in the unsettled lands, they were now in a safe place, Tekun decided he would get the latest news.

"Tania, i'm going to catch up world events. Maybe you should come with me. Re introduce yourself to everyone again, i'm sure there not used to seeing the dead come back to life."

Serene, still upside down, saw Eton in the doorway. She smiled to him. "Eh, I'm fine, you don't need to worry." she assured him, pulling herself right-side up. "Is there something you wanted to talk about?" she asked him, puzzled, turning back to the window. Black King was gone. "Damn that Pegasus..."

Black King brought himself around the inn, to the front area. He stayed outside rather than going in, feeling better in the open air. He went to the windows around the front of the inn, and looked inside. He was feeling curious, and wished to see who was inside.

Tania nodded and followed Tekun, though she was extremely nervous what everyone would think of her, being dead and then coming back, what if they thought of her as some sort of demon or maybe even a zombie. What if they tried to harm her? She shuddered, she would never tell her father about her encounter with death, she just hoped her friends would be accepting of her. "Tekun, I'll come with you though" she paused for lack of finding any words to express her feelings.

---

Anna was surprised when she saw the head of the pegasus she was just thinking about. "Why hello there, Mr. Pegasus" she said calmly, she looked around the room, and stopped at the low table there was a fruit basket on it. She ran over to the table and took an apple she held it out in front of herself shyly, offering it to the magnificent creature.

Tekun and Tania entered the inn, when they entered, Tekun approached the inn keeper.

"What's the word going about?" He asked him.

"I havn't paid much attention to what's been going on. Last I heard war was on the way. Conflict has been going on between two of the nations. Forget what it's about. Ask around the bar." He said and pointed. "Plenty of people, just don't start s***."

"You just seemed a bit quite is all. Im just seeing if your alright." Eton said. "Let me know if you need anything, i'm gonna go get breakfast."

Eton headed down the stairs, and to his disbelief, was Tania in a bluedress. There was no mistake of it, she was with Tekun, his jaw dropped and he began to approach slowly.

"Ta...tania." He said studdering slightly.

Serene stood up, and walked towards the door. When she turned down the hall, she saw Tania and paused. "You...you...you...you..." she kept stammering uncontrollably. "It's...not...possible..."
Her legs gave out, and she fell to the floor, dragging herself away. "This is just a illusion, haunting me...right?!"

Black King looked at the woman holding to apple to him with a hint of doubt. He looked her straight in the eye and hesitated for a moment. "Should I take it or not?" he wondered.

"What do we do? I say we talk to him!" Lex snatched his book and sprung up, waving to the minotaur. He glanced down at it for a second and spoke "Um... hello, there. Are you angry at something? Perhaps we could help?" He smiled calmly and stared only at the creature's nose, being careful not to make full eye contact. Such people could be easily angered by the challenge.

Tania whirled around after hearing her name called. Eton stood there, as if he had seen a ghost, she wasn't surprised, it was something she'd do if she saw someone who was supposed to be dead. She curtsied politely "Hello" she said shyly.

---

Anna tentatively walked towards the window where the black pegasus watched her. It seemed to her that it was watching her every move, she placed the apple on the windowsill then stepped away from it slowly. Making sure not to make any sudden movements or loud sounds that would make the black pegasus nervous or maybe even angry.

---
Violet stepped back so that the men stood in front of her acting as a sort of wall. "It was only fair" she concluded "Even though it was kinda her fault the minotaur found them, but she was possessed by some strange magic...so it was really her fault" she tried to reassure herself, though kept her hand on her lute ready to play or even whack the beast on the noggin if things got aggressive.

Leon stood up and watched as LEx approached the creature, he was about ready to run off without his armor, but Violet and Lex were here yet. The minotaur approached angrily, in it's right hand a large axe. It made a odd snorting like sound and made it's way towards Lex.

"You...you took it didn't you!" He yelled angrily at Lex. "Give it back and we won't have any problems."


--------------------

Tekun looked over at Eton who's jaw was dropped and Serene who was backign away in fear.

"It's a looong story." Tekun said walking next to Tania. Eton approached her and put his hand on her face and then pulled it back.

"I can't believe it, but...." He let out a sigh and then walked over to Serene who was crawling away. "Serne, get your wits together. She's...alive."

Tania drew back from his touch as well, she wanted to slap it away, how rude of him to reach out and touch her like she was some sort of specimen. Though she knew that was what anyone in his position would probably do. She was actually slightly amused by Serene's reaction to her coming back though. Serene always acted so tough, it was good to see that she too was human. "Yup" said Tania after he made his comment about her being alive.

OOC: Approached? Since when did I move from my spot? Oh well.


"Took what?" Lex rummaged through his chest piece, but found only the usual things. "You mean my book? Well, I'll have you know this is a first edition... um... book. You need not know the author." He clipped the leather back and turned to the bovine beast of the barrens and quickly questioned his quarrel with the group. "So... are you missing something? I assure you, none of us have anything you'd want. Although I'm quite skilled with a grinding stone, would you like me to sharpen your axe? It seems rather dull, to me." He made sure to stay a good distance away, thinking some elder god may force him to oddly walk forward again.

"Alright." Julius said and walked off. "I'll find her myself."

With that he left camp with his sword sheathed, heading in the direction he saw her head last. It wouldn't be long before he found her. When he did it was not pleasent.

"AHHHHHH!!" Julius screamed in fear and distress. "Nooo! Noo! Nooo!" Charisma!"

There was a creature ontop of a corpse draped in blood. Half of it in it's mouth as it held up the rest with it's two scaley hands as it chewed and gnawed away at it. When it heard Julius scream, it picked up the body, still clutching the corpse of Julius's friend in it's jaws. Her lower body and arms dangled like a rag doll as the rest was in it's jaws. The creature was a young Snie, scavaging for food. It turned around and jumped back. Julius stood there in disbelief nearly in tears as the creature stoodback and watched Julius, pulling out the mage from it's mouth and began to chew on her arm.
-----------------------------------

"Don't play dumb with me huumman!" It roared. "Give me back the statue and i won't smash your skull into pieces." It stood tall, making itself look intimidating. Leon stood completely still next to Violet. "What should we do?" He asked her.

"Hey, hey. Calm down, my friend. I can assure you that I have not taken your statue, but if you describe it to me, I may be able to help you find it. I know you're reasonable, as well as I. There is no need for violence." He continued to smile calmly.

Tara wandered by to her room, passing by the chatter and surprise of Tania's return. Her door left wide open, what things she had left behind were still settled about where she had put them. Gathering them together, preparing to leave when need be, she stepped back into the hall. "I could use a bite to eat.. wonder if there is anything around" she stated to no one but herself as she casually continued throughout the corridor.
