The Highlands: Deepwood Forest.

Luthier sighed.

"You're more important to me than some dwarf. I'm going with you."

He smiled.

"And you might just turn me gay, you know that?"

He turned to Revin.

"Hey, I need you to lead that dwarf south to the encampment there, understand? There will be a guy that meets you deep in the forest, his name's Wulf. Tell him that the son of Svulkaine, the Reaver sent you. He'll understand."

Blake walked back to the group. "I am going ALONE." said Blake glaring at Luthier. "If any of you tell my secret . . . if I heard that it came out I will come back and kill the one who let it out. Do you understand?" Blake looked them each in the eye with the same firey eyes he had a moment before.
I can never go home now. But . . . maybe they all can keep his secret . . . no, people can not be trusted with something of this magnitude.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. Listen I'm not doing anything until I get at least some kind of damned explanation as to where the hell the I am and what the hell yer talking about. I mean the whole spectacle you two put on was enough to confuse even an archmage but seriously. You need me to lead a dwarf somewhere? Did that rock hit you harder then I thought it did? And to think I just threw it normally. Without my powers behind it. And besides I don't even know what yer damn name is. Let's start with introducing ourselves. I'm Revin Villiers. And you are?"

"Luthier Locke." He smiled.

"And it seems like I'm goin' with ya, for the moment at least."

Blake didn't have to know that he'd keep tabs on her.

"This is Blake. He's my best friend. He's going on a little trip, it seems."

Blake yelled in frustration and had to hold back as hard as he could not to slam Revin into a tree. "You, Revin, are in the land of Dilusion. And that spectacle will not be mentioned again. Not that it matters anymore but I'm Blake."

"Listen kid settle the fuck down you really think I'm going to go around blabbing about what the hell just happened. No, no one here freaking knows me here so just calm down. And I don't care either way. I came here because I'm looking for something. Don't know what but I'll know it when I find it. Anyway... Now, what the hell do you need my help for.?"

Luthier couldn't resist.

"It was a nice kiss, if that helps."

He grinned.

Walking away Blake blushed and shot a death glare at Luthier. He gathered his pack and collected a few of his blades that had been scattered from the ogres. Without letting Kariti heal his wounds he told her goodbye and to watch them all. He gave her a kiss in the forhead and walked to his horse which he mounted. Blake then rode away from the group in a different direction from where the others were headed.

Revin just sighed. He really didn't know what was going on. He was so confused and frustrated he Punched the nearest tree to him and the poor thing just shattered into tiny splinters from the kitnetic force he put behind his punch. He looked at Luthier and sighed."Alright I'll help you and yer dwarf. And if you want to go and get yer friend back. Mainly because I'm so terribly confused and you guys actually seem alright."

Luthier smiled briefly at her. He hoped she'd be okay in the time it took him to find Wulf.

He turned to Kariti.

"How far away is Wulf's house? I can travel there myself if you want to go with Blake."

it's actually

^_^'

Revin just kind of stood there and sighed."What have I gotten myself into?" He was thinking out loud.

(Fuck, deleted Chelsea's actual post. -.- It was good, something about a heart-wrenching departure from the group and looking back with disdain and confusion on the last time she'd ever see her friends again.)

(lame shit. I had a post just vanish on me after sending it. I just thought it was my browser. Maybe it's a server thing?)

possible. Moral of the story: Save posts in notepad first.

(indeed s'what I started doing lulz

Kariti had stayed silent, angry Luthier had so recklessly flirted with Blake. No one knew of her love for him, but she could not resist feeling jealous. She turned toward Luthier, an ice cold glare in her eyes.
"Travel north for three miles, then turn west. You'll find his house near a ravine."
She stood. "And for the record, he only kissed you to distract you. He doesn't love you. And I can see he'd never mean anything to you." Silently she cursed herself for her viciousness, knowing she didnt mean it, but she could not help it. Blake was hers, no matter what gender he was.
Kariti turned, and left.

Luthier shook his head.

"Poor girl. Nymphs are so fickle."

He continued walking, beckoning Revin to come with him.

"We have a lot of ground to cover very quickly."

Kariti rolled her eyes, but paused. She could not follow Blake. He had always forbid her from following him somewhere she could not protect herself. She quietly made her way back.
"I'm... sorry. I was angry earlier. May I travel with you guys? You'll need me." Kariti smirked.
Might as well have a little fun.

Luthier nodded.

"I doubt we'll need you, but you'll be useful. I'm glad you apologized, and it's alright."

He smiled.

As long as we can find Wulf, that is...

Kariti walked beside Luthier, debating whether or not to ask him if he had a plan if Wulf was not home or refused to see him. She wondered who Wulf even was, and why he seemed so important to Luthier.

Luthier smiled. He was thinking about Blake. He assumed she would be alright, hell, he hadn't taken her along for nothing, but it still worried him a little bit, what she'd run into. This world was, apparently, a dangerous one to go into alone.

Kariti froze, her thoughts having drifted to Blake.
"Do you think he's ok?" She didn't look up, but knew she should explain her seemingly random question.
"Blake tends to get himself hurt."

"I have faith, honestly. She knows what she's doing."

He grinned.

"And I've got other things to worry about right now."

Shaking the thoughts of her from his head, he chuckled a little bit. He knew that when she thought it was right, she'd return. They'd had fights when they were younger, and this just had to be a bigger version of that.

I don't think we could really survive without ever seeing each other again, we'd go batshit...

He looked on ahead.

"How the hell long does it take to get to this guy's house, anyways? We've been walking for a goddamn long time."
