The Eternal Wilderness ~ Overflowing Forest

[Enigma]

The forest covers all but the edges of the continent. The elves reside all throughout this forest, small villages able to be found. Along with it so too does the path to the Cage be discovered. Deep within as the elves only know, can they find the primary village with the chief and elders of the elves residing.

[Greg]

The eternal wilderness of Sylva... it was a place of plenty. Be they people, secrets, life, or other things. So the sorcerer chose here of all places to take his time, not on his usual business for once. Many people as one, many histories come together, nothing truly defined the sorcerer here. But it was because of such things that he could continue as he had now. Maybe the elves would be able to sense his true intentions? Maybe not. But for now he walked, knowing that the walk would probably need to nothing fruitful outside of stretching one's legs and exercising his mind on something else for once in a while.

[Zane]

"Mission complete."

The Hunting Evil returned. He finished up his work elsewhere, so of course he came back. While it had been some time since his last return, he knew it was time to return now. With all of the news about the Dark Knights making their move, it was better to come back and try to aid the defense of the land against them. Whether that was futile or not would be discovered, but no evil would go unpunished on his watch. Not forever in any event.

[Enigma]

As the Hunting Evil and the Chaos Sorcerer made their way through the forest, they could hear the sounds of magic and conflict taking place further in. If they were to follow the noise, they would find a clearing where elves were engaging the dark beasts that roamed about the world now. It looked like they had even sought to come down upon the forest of Sylva, though they had more protections from them than the others.

[Zane]

"Battle?"[/color]

He moved with all the swiftness of the wind, aiming to make it further and aid in the battle. Reaching the clearing, it was clear that these beasts were sent by the sorcerer. Even if they were, he would decimate them all and show them the errors of their ways! No evil would escape from him, especially those that aimed to harm his own. Taking his bow and arrow in hand, he joined the battle immediately.

[Greg]

"Hm..."

He kept going forward, reaching the clearing to see the elves engaged in battle. The Hunting Evil of all people were here too, closing his eyes with a smirk. Either way, the creatures of darkness were after all of them. None of them were safe, so engaging them now didn't seem like a bad idea. Tugging on his gloves to make certain of their security, he walked into the battle as well, ready to take part immediately.

[Enigma]

And so the two joined the fray, being met by six of the beasts that were in the mess of it. With this many here, were they to defeat them, they could thin out the numbers enough for the rest to be dealt with accordingly. But victory would have to be earned first.

[Zane]

"Are you alright, everyone?"

Zane looked over his elven brethren, hoping that they had gotten out of this better than for worse. It would be good if so, but it was also not thanks to himself this eve. He looked over to the sorcerer, not offering thanks of course, not yet anyway. Something was off with this way outside of his travel and his magic. The very air just seemed twisted about him and yet he couldn't place his finger on what it was right now.

"While I give you my thanks for your aid, why are you here, sorcerer? Who are you?"

[Greg]

"That went better than anticipated. I suppose that means that they were apparitions of darkness, but grunts at the same time..."[/size]

He was muttering to himself when he noticed that the Hunting Evil was addressing him. Guess there was nothing to it given he was a human wandering the forest of the elves of Sylva. That alone was suspicious, but then he came to their aid. And furthermore he had been successful when coming to their aid rather than being unsuccessful like many others would have been had they tried such a thing just now.

"Rex Arxen. I was just wandering Sylva this time at least and happened upon this encounter. Given that they were our mutual enemy, I saw no reason to not get involved in the battle."

[Enigma]

"Zane? Is that you?!"

One of the Elven mages rushed up to meet her brethren and looked him in the eyes. Things had started to become hectic even here. Seeing that he was talking to the sorcerer, though still a bit leery given what one was doing, they left that matter aside for now.

"Your help was just in time. But we must hurry or the Elder will..."

[Zane]

While Zane was leery of the sorcerer now known as Rex Arxen, he supposed if nothing else the odds were that the human had just happened upon the encounter. Now why he was wandering Sylva was still the mystery, but he could let that go for now given from what his elven comrade had just said. Wasting anymore time wasn't an option anymore.

"It is I. Nothing will happen to the Elder so long as we make haste. Let's go."

[Greg]

"My aid requires no thanks. I figure blowing up more of whatever these things are isn't bad, so as the Hunting Evil said."

He figured they wouldn't mind him offering his help for a time longer. After all, they might need it if their elder was in trouble. It was that or the guy was old enough where fighting just wasn't his thing anymore. Which would be amusing, but he figured laughing at that would probably not help his already shaky relationship with the cautious elves.

[Enigma]

As they continued forward, they would find their way at the cage once sealed off by great magic. The seal was broken, allowing them to access it without problem. That was likely the more troubling part of things right now, given it meant that the Elder was in dire straits. Time was of the essence...
