Zerah giggled at the pale man's response and looked around at the group, seeming to have gotten the attention of a few individuals, which was enough for him. He sighed once more, acting like he was worried. "I used to hear lots of people go on about their religions and their Gods over the years, but rarely hear about the darker parts of their religion. Seeing as the predominate religion in Ignis is Pandorian, I've heard all the stories of Yakoshi, Archex and Sandor. In fact, even us imps worship them, although we refer to them by different names. But, there is another God that the imps have. Or....a former god, before he was banished to roam the world, due to his thirst for the blood of the innocents. It's said that on a night like this, this 'God' went on a rampage so intense it painted the moon with the blood of all its victims. On that night, Yakoshi and Archex banished the God to roam this world, for he would not be accepted amongst them any longer." Zerah stated, not really sure how to recount the tale in english. "Imp mothers would tell their children a little nursery rhyme to keep them inside on nights like these. Now, there's no direct translation from Imp to English, but I believe it would be something like this." Zerah formed one of his claws into a needle point and began drawing in the dirt while he tried to recount the tale. "Those who travel the woods at night
May you travel fast, and travel light.
For in the woods, a creature lies
Patiently waiting, with hungry eyes.
Be very wary crooks and thieves
For if by chance, you start to sneeze.
The monster's dust has already been cast
And this night will surely be your last
It's teeth are gnarled, it's claws are fine
And on your flesh, this beast will dine
Its hair is matted with dirt and mud
It will chew your bones, and drink your blood
Tonight your life will surely cease,
At the hands of the Algarees" Zerah said, trying to make his voice as deep and menacing as possible. "Now, I've seen this beast first hand, and he looked something like this." Zerah finished his sketch and waited to see if the others would gather to see it. {Spoiler - Click to View}  |

Oxy giggled as Galystris followed after. He sat down directly beside Enoch, not even realizing others might have problems if they realized who he was the son of, and patted his other side with a smile. "Come, sit!" He demanded. He then turned to Enoch and pointed at Galy. "This is my friend, Galy!" He said proudly, like she was the coolest person in the world. He didn't even realize they'd probably already swapped names at some point. "She can do ice things!" He made gestures of shooting something from his hands, making 'pew! pew!' sound effects and then looking between the two of them to see how they reacted to his performance. "Enoch can do the time-wam-pow!" He laughed and then froze in place, falling onto his back as though he were stuck in time for a moment before giggling again and sitting back up. "And now you're friends, too!" He said, completely satisfied that he had just made their relationship everlasting through his small speech. Galystris laughed softly at his enthusiasm, being admired made her feel good. Hell, she got a nickname now, nice. She turned her attention to Enoch and smiled lightly. "Pleasure to meet you, Enoch. Your performance today was admirable." She said politely. |

Enoch sat down next to Daryn, nodding gratefully as she offered some food. "Just a little bit, thank you," he accepted, taking some of the cured meat and berries. Quietly, he relaxed as he started to eat, listening with mild interest to the imp's ghost story. That's when a small voice piped up next to him. "This is my friend, Galy!" "She can do ice things!" He made gestures of shooting something from his hands, making 'pew! pew!' sound effects and then looking between the two of them to see how they reacted to his performance. "Enoch can do the time-wam-pow!" He laughed and then froze in place, falling onto his back as though he were stuck in time for a moment before giggling again and sitting back up. "And now you're friends, too!" Enoch looked at the toddler, listening to him introduce Galystris. He'd never really had many interactions with the frost mage in the past. Honestly, he didn't really know anyone that had extensively spoken with her or gotten to know her. But as this one train of thought rolled on in his head, another one began to creep up as he examined Oxy's features. Looks like he's swimming in his mother's gene pool at least he thought somewhat bitterly, nodding along with feigned attentiveness. From what he'd seen of the child, he was nothing like his father. Celty promised him that he wouldn't be a threat. She promised.
"Pleasure to meet you, Enoch. Your performance today was admirable." She said politely. He smiled cordially before nodding to Galystris once Oxy's amusing introduction was over. "Nice to meet you too. You did a great job out there today. Keep up the good work," he commented, eating another berry he was holding. "Are you hungry?" |

Tonight your life will surely cease, At the hands of the Algarees" Altheron's eyes widened in horror as the imp finished drawing the monster in the dirt, its image flickering in the fire's light. He let out an ear-piercing scream as he dropped Zerah's arm and stumbled over to Daryn, gripping her arm with all the strength he could muster. He shook, his words rushing out of his mouth as he sat there next to the warrior in panic. " Daryn, I know you told me that I could not hold you anymore, but pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease do not let Algarees get me. PLEASE!" |

Keep up the good work," he commented, eating another berry he was holding. "Are you hungry?" "Ah, that means quite a bit to hear, thank you." She replied. She was rather proud of herself, but hearing confirmation from others boosted her confidence quite a bit. "And to answer you question, a little bit ,yes." God, it was more than a little bit. She was tired out and the battle hadn't exactly coordinated with her eating schedule. The only thing she had eaten that day was breakfast before tairaga messed everything up, and some ice, which she made my accidentally freezing a cup of water. Not just the water, the cup too. This was not an uncommon occurrence. |

She said, attempting to free herself from his too-tight grip just a bit. She looked over at what Zerah had drawn in the dirt, not really wanting to face the fact that with Fearos, Vastebon and Necrosis, this guy was probably real too. "Hey now, if he comes looking for us, you know what will happen, right? You've got everyone here to protect you. No Algarees will be ceasing life around here any time soon!" She said loudly, if not with pride, then determination. "Ya got nothin' to worry about." She flashed a weak smile at him to perhaps convince him he didn't need to cling to her so badly. |

Oxy seemed a little disheartened that he hadn't been praised by Enoch for his great performance, but his mind was taken elsewhere when he looked at the berry. His stomach growled and he let out a surprised gasp before blushing and pulling his cloak closely around himself, clearly embarrassed. Zerah said, trying to make his voice as deep and menacing as possible. "Now, I've seen this beast first hand, and he looked something like this." A small dribble of purple escaped Celty's lips as Zerah spoke, and she swiped it away nonchalantly, propping her face up with a gloved hand and smirking at the imp, although her eyes were focused on the mask on his head. "My, you're almost as good as me with the rhymes~" She chuckled, eyes still not leaving the mask. So, we meet again old friend, her smirk grew a bit more sinister, seems we've both got ourselves new playthings this time around.

The priest chuckled softly as he heard Oxy's stomach growl. "You hungry too, kid?" Enoch handed Galystris a piece of cured meat he was holding before reaching over to grab another handful of the berries near Daryn, bodily jumping in surprise as she suddenly shouted out of nowhere. In his reaction, he nearly lost his grip on the berries but hastily recovered, offering them to Galystris and Oxy before rubbing his ear. "I've never heard of any creature like this, Altheron. I wouldn't worry too much," he reassured, smirking a bit as he watched Daryn's display of bravery before glancing over at the picture in the dirt. |

Zerah chuckled at Daryn's attempt to reassure Altheron he was safe. He opened his mouth to say something when his mask's eyes began glowing even more than before, along with the voice popping into his head. Seems I'm not the only body stealer here.. A pleasure to see you again, although, you've chosen a rather weak looking body..Zerah turned his attention towards Celty, her entire character seeming extremely different. Zerah raised an eyebrow at her, wanting to say something but chuckled instead. Now wouldn't be the best time to make a scene. Instead, Zerah turned his attention back to Daryn, Enoch and Altheron. "Of course you've never heard of him, Enoch. No one wants to talk about the devils of the story. And I assure you. Algarees is much worse than any of the fearen we've encountered thus far. The only thing you can do when he's on the hunt is run. Run as fast as your legs will carry you. Otherwise, if he gets you, he becomes even stronger. Luckily, he can't eat right now. Legend has it that his face was torn off by a legendary warrior and sealed away in a tomb. The beast can still SEE through it's eyes, however, and it's body continues to move closer and closer to it's face with every passing moon." Zerah chuckled. Zerah looked towards the woods and smiled. "I think I hear the beast! Anyone wanna go and find it? Heheheh, well, more like let HIM find US." Zerah stated, wickedly. He was having too much fun with this guild. |

Galystris said with a smile, accepting the food. She could feel her mouth watering, woaj she was ready to eat this. She jumped slightly at Altheron's yells as well. "By god, what are they doing?" She muttered under her breath. It seemed as if they were telling some ghost stories, typical for campfires she thought, but Altheron's reaction seemed to imply that Zerah was telling more than a ghost story. ((Sorry if my posts are too short, I really suck at writing :,( )) |

Oxy let out an barely audible 'ahh!' as the berries plopped into his hands. He ate them in only a few moments, licking his fingers afterwards and gazing into the fire. He heard Zerah's story, but didn't seem too impressed by it surprisingly. However, when he noticed the look on his mother's face, he frowned, lowering his head and scooting towards Enoch as though for protection. "I hate it when she's like this." He whispered, refusing to look at her. "I think I hear the beast! Anyone wanna go and find it? Heheheh, well, more like let HIM find US." Zerah stated, wickedly. He was having too much fun with this guild. Celty yawned and stretched a bit, leaning back on her hands and staring up at the sky, her demeanor completely carefree and laid back in comparison to her usual stressed-self. "This old tale? Please. Like something like that actually exists~." She laughed a bit, her hair shaking from her shoulders and falling to her back. She snapped her head up suddenly and leaned forward. "How could such a mighty foe be restrained so easily? Surely he'd have figured out a way to become whole again by now. There's no need for anyone to be afraid, this story is as ridiculous as those old tales of Snatcher Witches." She cackled for a moment, clearly enjoying herself. |

Zerah snarled audibly, but suddenly shook his head. He hadn't intended to do that. He wasn't even upset with Celty's response. You're pushing your luck, witch. Watch yourself.Zerah laughed and had his eyes glued on Celty. "Oh trust me, those Snatcher Witch tales are even more ridiculous. A person with the ability to possess someone's body, albiet with side effects. Although, for whatever reason, the exact side effect isn't coming to me..It's on the tip of my tongue..hmmmmm. Care to remind me, Celty?" Zerah said, not quite himself. Zerah had an overconfident smirk on his face, seeing how far this body snatcher really wanted to play this game. Zerah stood up so that his voice would carry more, seeing how much attention he could bring to the conversation. " I can prove Algarees is real. All we'd have to do is go into the woods. Snatcher Witches, however, are absolutely absurd." Zerah laughed, a bit harder than he should. |

Don't criticize my choice is vessels next time, then. It was all in good fun, my friend. Remember, I can out you just as easily. Don't you want to keep our alliance on good terms? She cackled a bit out loud, although this part of the conversation was unheard to the rest. We're both much too old to be fighting. Let's just forget it, shall we~?"Let's go in the woods then," She was on her feet in an instant, one of her hands on her hips. "I'm curious to see this creature of yours." |

Luair had plodded her way to the fire, and found a place to sit down. The events today had certainly worn her quite down, and she was losing energy quite quickly. However the warmth had knocked this a tad down. She looked at Galystris who was conversing with others around here. She didn't think it'd be good to approach her once again so she refrained to do so. She then looked at Osseus who appeared to be fidgety. She knew it. He must have been upset that she went off without him. She had reason to, for she was embarrassed enough to not want Osseus to see. One that has inherited such a high title should not be priotising one's thoughts. She took a minute to wonder why she had gotten so worked up, yet no answer could be found. She felt more blood stains on her; probably from the hug earlier. She had brought with her a change of clothes, and needlework. Maybe she could offer to fix a thing or two.

But of coooooooooourse i want to keep our alliance on good terms. Because I absoluuuutely need you. But yes, we can stop fighting for the time being.And with that, the mask's eyes dimmed. Zerah knew the mask had no intention of continuing this conversation, for it had other things planned for those who challenged his existence. Zerah looked around at the group and decided he'd have more fun involving the entire guild. Zerah cupped his hands around his mouth. "TONIGHT, I PROVE THE ALGAREES IS REAL FOR ANYONE WHO'D LIKE TO SEE IT! FOR THOSE WHO WANNA SEE THIS FALLEN GOD, FOLLOW CELTY AND I INTO THE WOODS AT YOUR OWN RISK! I CAN'T ENSURE YOUR SAFETY, OR MINE FOR THAT MATTER!" Zerah shouted with all his might, hoping to get everyone's attention, ending it with a maniacal cackle. Some incredibly different things would be happening in the woods, should only be Celty and himself so he hoped that more would follow. |
