Landen had seen a smaller figure in the fog. He had noticed one almost right next to him also. Then the one infront of him stepped closer and touched his cheek. Landen knew it was noir at that point, and from what he could tell she wasnt hurt. He reached out and placed one hand on her shoulder. Something seemed wrong with her but he couldnt tell what. "Noir are you ok? something seems wrong..." currently he was clueless to the loss of her voice. then he remembered seth-raine was definently hurt. "Buddy you ok too? I can tell your hurt but how bad is it?"

Apon asking if his friends were hurt landen was slightly reminded of the fact that his chest hurt alittle too. He was positive he had a piece of his broken armor stuck in him somewere. Still he wasnt bleeding to bad so he figured he was ok. Landen also reasoned that even if it was broken keeping the armor on would be better then taking it off.

Seth-Raine emerged from the fog. Looking at his 2 friends. A weak smile was on his face. "Its enough to make me think of stopping this insanity." He answered.

In the distance some roars could be heard. Seth-Raine recognized the sound. It was the Black Serpent. He shuddered. Wondering who it got. "I can only expect the worst from that." Seth-Raine said. He looked at Noir. "You seem....Quiet...Is there something wrong?" He asked her.

[Exaltations]

Noir's shaky hands moved to just Seth-Raine's face, she was going to try a terrible, terrible attempt at getting him to know what was wrong, though she was sure it would fail, there wasn't much she could do. She traced her fingers over his lips for a moment, then opened her mouth slightly and pointed to it.
She felt like an idiot while trying to explain. Then she let out a breath of air, trying to indicate that was the only sound she could make.

She never really was good at charades.

[GenjutsuGaara]

Seth-Raine looked at her. "Uh...Now is not the time for games you know Noir." Seth-Raine said seriously. He heard something. The water hitting something. "No....No way." He whispered. "Quick quick...Move away from here." He said as quietly as he could but with having them hear it.

The thick fog was quickly penetrated by the Black Serpents roar. It was very close. Seth-Raines skeleton nearly left his skin. The Black Serpent slithered out of the thick fog. Seth-Raine looked at it wide eyed.

"BACK BEAST! BAAACK!" A deep voice came. From the fog emerged a figure. Tall, lanky with black hair and a long katana. Seth-Raine stared. "NO! YOU'LL GET KILLED!!" Seth-Raine shouted. The figure fought the Black Serpent blow for blow. The figure was hardly touched. After several moments of intense combat the figure drove the snake back into the lake.

He walked by the group. "Leave this place if you value your life." He warned. Long black robes with pale skin and large fangs. The figure quickly ran into the fog and disappeared. Seth-Raine looked at him. Dumb founded.

Landen heard seth say to move but he couldnt get his feet or legs to even twitch. It was like the serpents roar had paralyzed him. He was even more in shock when a figure suddenly lept from the fog and drove the serpent away without hardly a scratch. Seth-raine looked dumbfounded. Then a realization hit landen. Tall, thin, black robes, pale skin, exta long and sharp teeth. All were common traits in the dark mages from what landen could remember.

"Seth-raine...w..was that...Tassadar?" landen stammered. There wasnt so much fear in his voice as there was utter confusion. Then another thought hit him, and temporarily took his mind off of the huge snake that lurked around them. "We should follow him..." landen said voice smoothing out. looking at his friends he asked. "Yall uninjured enough to fallow him? and noir why wont you talk? did you loose your voice or something?" landen asked. He was still alittle worried. Then he realized that if noir had lost her voice she was completly defenseless. In this swamp that wasnt a good thing.

[Exaltations]

Noir felt like an idiot when Seth-Raine thought she was just playing a game with him. This was terrible, she was defenseless for battle and she wasn't able to even communicate in general! Seth-Raine had been saying it was the worst day, and now she agreed with it.
Then it only got worse when the large serpent came back, she took a step back and watched in frozen terror, shaking as she did knowing she couldn't do anything like cast a simply offensive spell.

Once the man who protected them disappeared, Landen asked her if she lost her voice, and her heart felt a lot better, he got the idea, she just needed to nod and silently say yes. And that's what she did, she nodded her head up and down a couple times, pretty sure he'd get the point.

[Naomi]

When noir nodded yes that she had lost her voice landen looked completly dumbfounded again. Today was the worst day of their lives. After a few moments all landen could do was laugh alittle and grin, not an im happy laugh or grin though, more of an im screwed or we are screwed/ive lost my mind type laugh and grin. After a moment he just said "I lost my axe and almost drowned, noir completely lost her voice, and seth your man just dashed right infront of you and there was nothing you could do...plus your hurt...and im hurt...and noir cant defend herself anymore...this is the worse day of our lives!" It was obvious by how he was speaking that landen was getting delirious. His chest wound was small but it hurt terribly so pain was etching its way across his brain, pain coupled with the fact that his senses had been compromised for far to long. Not being able to see and only feeling soft wet ground everywere they went. On top of that he was still winded from almost drowning. Much more and landen would probobly crack and loose his mind. In reality the one thing keeping him slightly sane was the fact that he knew his friends needed him.

Landen started taking deep breaths again. It hurt his chest more but it did work to calm him down a bit. Once he had a bit more of a clam going on landen focused alittle lightning into both of his fists. "Well guys we dont realy have a choice...lets fallow that guy...even if he isnt who were looking for he was able to fend off the damn snake...shen aer and kagaro will be able to handle themselves...and shen is an assasin...even with the fog he should be able to track us." and with that landen led the way taking the direction the man had disappeared into.

ooc: ok hope that works...for now we can just bump gen along like he said too and ichi im putting alot of faith in your characters ability to find us...since I dont see us finding you...

[GenjutsuGaara]

Seth-Raine couldn't process anything properly. He kept trying to play the fight over in his head. But it would stop right as the Black Serpent sank into the water. Instead it should've been eating him. Over...And over...The scene kept playing.

With that he began to walk. Everything seemed warped. That guy...Was always with in inches of being eaten. But....Never got touched. And then HE forced the serpent back into hiding. "W...What just happened?" Seth-Raine finally asked. "H...What.....Why didn't that guy die?" Seth-Raine asked. He was absolutely baffled.

In the distance he could hear voices. "Oi! Shadup will you?!" A voice said. "No! You limey bastard!" Another said. "Why can't we be friends?" another asked. "SHADUP! Or those filthy Mystics will hear us. Seth-Raine stopped. He could actually see them from their voices. They were like 20 feet from them.

He made a weird face. "Uhh...You guys think they're referring to us?" Seth-Raine asked the other 2.

[Naomi]

ooc: good to see you are back! everyone just like disappeared...i was alone!!! lol XP

Landen had heard the voices but he didnt really care, and in answer to seth-raines earlier questions about what happened landen said "He didnt die because obviously he lives here and is use to the thing, like I said he may have been that Tassadar guy your looking for...dont tell me you forgot your reason for being here...and I wouldnt worry about the guys ahead of us. They are obviously just humans...weapons or no weapons we can take them...though noir...without your voice you might should hang back...I dont want you hurt."

Landen had pretty much gone insane at this point. He needed something to take out his mixed up mind on. He had kept a light charge in his fists while they were walking but now he recharged them. Grinning like he was mad again landen said "Its yalls choice though...should we get rid of a few more nasty little humans?"

ooc: I think landen may have gone temporarily insane from being in the swamp to long...lol

[GenjutsuGaara]

Seth-Raine looked up. "Shut up you chunky bastard and lets kill them." Seth-Raine said leaping through the fog with his wounded arm. He already drew his blade and landed on an enemy. Drawing his blade against his neck. He looked up. Regretting his decision already.

"Wooah...Did not see that coming. There was a group of at least 60 enemies in front of him.
Many of them were aiming their arrows at him. "I...Uh....Didn't meant to kill him." Seth-Raine said a bit anxiously.

OoC: Sorry about that then Naomi.
