Thorns

"Uh... welcome." Anden said blankly, in clear confusion from the situation at hand. The man took a few steps forward and stood over Raei, bending a bit to offer her a helping hand.

"are you okay?" he asked with genuine curiosity.

Pema got back up and put his hat back on as he quietly replied "I understand. It will not happen again. I should have thought more carefully before acting and I'm terribly sorry about this. I hope all of you will still accept me as your ally. I wish for nothing more than to help all of you survive against the thorns. I can be of help if you are still willing to give me a chance. I can control sound magic and use my sound magic to force thorns to attack me instead of those around me. My stone body and large sword allows me to defend against thorns for a long period of time, which can help all of you to attack them while I block the damage."

Storm Fly's Eye Light Up As She Heard Nyle Say She Was A Fire Mage " Waaaaa Thats So Cool, What A Wonderful Power. Wait You Can Also Build Houses Too." She Hugs The Unexpected Women " You Are So Cool When I Grow Up I Want To Be Just Like You Nyle!" Still Hugging Nyle But She Looks Up And Stares At Nyle With Wonder Until She Heard,



Storm Fly Scream When She Heard The man Scream And Grab Hold On Nyle Tightly As He Watch The Golem Run Straight Into Raei. After A Few Seconds She Looked Up To Stare At The Scene The Was Unfolding In Front Of Her " I Wonder If They Are Both Ok That Looks Like It Would Hurt" Storm Fly Pondered.

The upside to the situation was the fact the thing had manners. Thank the Gods for that one. Raei simply nodded to the man as acceptance of his apology and then turned to look at the entire group in detail for once.
Ah, up close they all really did look quite... diverse. Not a single one of them looked the same. Not even the children.

 "Speaking of that... What is going on here?" Raei spoke up after Pema had finished speaking. "Why are all of you here together? By the looks of it, you all don't seem completely comfortable with one another, but maybe I'm the only one picking up on that because I'm not comfortable, myself..." Raei pursed her lips, internally scolding herself for rambling. "Anyway, what is it that you all know about these Thorns, and what is the course of action against them? I would assume our summoner-" Raei raised an eyebrow at Anden, "wouldn't get the attention of several random individuals if he did not have some sort of plan... That's, of course, assuming you all came here for the same reason." Raei hoped the 'leader' had thought that far ahead. Really, the woman just wanted to learn a little about what they were dealing with and how to get rid of it. She already was having an indifferent time even after only being here for a short while, so the sooner she learned some things and left was probably for the better. However... if this rock man were to aid them in their fight, perhaps staying beside them wouldn't be a bad idea. 

"Ooooooooh!" Leander breathed, leaning forwards as he watched the magical book. "This is nice, I like this!" He reached forward to touch it, but stopped himself as the tale ended, his look of wonder softening to a slight pout. A part of him wanted to demand that the small creature bring back the story, but he knew that would be rude. His hand fell back to his side and he tried to hang onto the memory of what he'd just witnessed to think of for future entertainment. His large frame stiffened, however, as Nursery Rhyme trailed off at the end of his speech. Leander's eyes watered again and he brought his head low, leaning his elbows on his knees and pretty much encompassing the small being in a tiny chamber of his own body, since the other was too small for him to physically hug without harming him. "Stupid dirt..." He muttered, covering his face with one hand to prevent the tears from falling onto his new found friend. "Keeps getting in my eyes..."

As per usual, he completely ignored any discourse going on around him, preoccupied with his own thoughts and feelings. 

Nursery Rhyme squirmed out from between the giant's figure. He was crying now, and Nursery Rhyme thought it was best that he release the emotions bottled up inside of him. He reached out and patted Leander's shoulder, hoping it would at least provide some comfort for his big friend. "It'll be okay, Lee," he said. "Perhaps when all of this is over, I can travel with you back to the mountains to find your family. I'm sure they'd have many tales for me to record!"

He briefly thought back to Leander's amazement as he saw the words in Nursery Rhyme's book become a fantastical illustration. It made him happy to see such wonderment on his face. Nursery Rhyme wasn't completely sure of where his origins began, nor when it would end for that matter, but he knew that he would never grow tired of seeing the awe on other's faces. "Maybe one day, you'll have your own page in this book, yes?"

Nursery Rhyme had been slightly disconnected from the world around him while he was interacting with Leander, so when he pulled his attention away from the giant to the people around him, he had noticed the size of their party growing ever so larger by the minute. He let out a breathe he hadn't realized he'd been holding. With so many guardians gathered, Nursery Rhyme felt the burden he thought'd he'd be carrying lift off his back like it was never there to begin with. He was certainly aware of the current limitations of his power, which is why he'd avoided fighting the thorns as much as possible by flying higher above the ground. If he found himself tired in the middle of battle, he'd be completely defenseless - not to mention reduced to the size of a house mouse. With this, he'd have a good amount of cover provided by his allies while he recuperated inside of the book. The book. he thought. I should tell them about my connection the book... Taking a quick glance at the people who had gathered and tugging on a strand of his hair, Nursery Rhyme decided he would wait until they moved on to the next step before informing the team. Well... particularly those he trusted.

He spotted Panna off a shorts ways away. Back when there were less people, Nursery Rhyme had taken it upon himself to interject himself in-between the brewing tension between the man and their leader easier, though Nursery Rhyme was positive there was no ill intent behind either of their words. He waved a goodbye at Leander and walked over to Panna. "Hello, Panna! I am called Nursery Rhyme, in case you didn't remember. So," he said, eyes drifting off to the man's missing arm, "what do you think of Anden so far? Do you suspect he has other motives for calling us all here?" Nursery Rhyme wasn't entirely sure how to start a conversation with the man, and he was sure he'd been asked multiple times about his missing arm to the point of where it must've gotten tiring to explain. He thought he had asked some valid questions, though, and perhaps they would lead into further discussion.


((aLSO Evan , I hope you don't mind, but can I add light magic to Nursery Rhyme's list of poems in place of the fire magic? Since we now have two separate users for fire and ice magic, I thought adding this would help reduce repetition and make what the characters can do more unique. He would still be able to cast ice magic, though he would now have a different way of using it slightly beyond just lunging shards like I had planned, BUT I also made it so that he must meet a certain age requirement before being able to utilize the spell, which impacts how often he can use it.))

"Oh Golly Yes I Wouldn't Want To Get Dirty But What About Your Clothes? Wait I Can Help You Clean It Up There Is A River Or Pond What Ever Its Called Just Down There" She Pointed At A Random Direction "We Can Clean Up That Dirty There, Just Like My Mum Said All Dirt Will Move With A Bit Of Elbow Grease" She Smile At Her.


Strom Fly Nodded At What Nyle Said About The Two That Collided "Mmm Should Does Doesn't She" She Giggled A Little. When Nyle Called Out Delphi She Turned To Star At Delphi And The Back At Nyle To See What She Wanted To Do. 


"What A Splendid Idea Nyle." She Smile The Pointed At Delphi Before Started To Walk Towards Her.

She Carried On Walking A Bit Before Stopping And Turning Back To Face Nyle "Are You Coming Too Nyle?" Storm Fly Asked Her As She Stretched Out Her Hand "I Think You Should Come Too." A Wide Grin Appeared On Her Face Waiting For The Women To Grab Hold Of Her Hand.
