The red lock of hair twitched slightly. Kendo looked around.

"Can we go? I can get us there in a few secs."

---

Ghost stopped and ran up to the camp out of curiosity, they saw two figures go into their tent and peeked inside, they watched the two talk for a bit then walked over to the side of the tent to see what they had in the camp.

---

He blinked. He turned in the direction of the magic presence.

"That's the saint, innit? Shouldn't we go?"

---

"I'd wait for Angel over here. We probably could use all the powers we can get. Also..." Iteral looks at herself, groaning a bit. "I feel like my powers... they point in the other direction. I don't know why..."

---

"Divine magic..."

He was muttering to himself. He glanced back.

"I don't enjoy playing hero, but I kinda feel like going in that direction.

---

"What is mine though, I only have time powers..." She looks a wristwatch, unsure. "... I'm with you on that front but let's wait the others. I don't want stupid losses because we got impatient."

---

Kendo looked back. He grinned, like the maniac he is.

"Aye, you worried or somethin'? Even if I do run off, since when do I die? I'm the cockroach, remember? I don't get stamped out."

---

"Look, leave the crippling self-doubt to me." Iteral turns Kendo around, holding him on both shoulders. "The Saint Deity is as important to me as it is for you or that feathered acquaintance. But I do not want to give into dumb risks and I don't want you using a life for what might be nothing."

---

Kendo yawned. He looked at his watch.

"Anything else before I inevitably run off?"

---

Ghost came across a few boxes next to the tent and opening and looking through them, making some noise, they kept searching through the boxes in hopes of finding anything useful.

---

Iteral suddenly attaches herself to Kendo, embracing him. "I won't let you unless every single one of us will go. I haven't seen you in a long time, I don't want to watch you perish. You..." She hesitates. "You're the only other time traveler I look forward to seeing..."

---

He nodded, smiling. He put a hand on her head.

"Awh, you bastard. You really had to go straight for the heart..."

---

"Hey..." She could not help but chuckle a bit. "When you travel through time a lot, you don't have the luxury of familiar faces, you know?" Iteral hugs him tighter, smiling. "Let's wait for the others, right?"

---

Kendo sighs.

"Fine... I guess I'll just bully the voices."

He looked up at the sky.

"Stop talking about horror!"

Adrik Volkov

---

People were talking. But all Adrik could see was the face of a young woman. She couldn't be past twenty. Her jaw was lax. Maybe she'd screamed before she died.

Maybe she'd been calling for help.

He stumbled back a few steps, and his back hit a solid chest. He glanced up and it was the old soldier from earlier. The man's face was blank, set in slate. There wasn't an expression on it.

Somehow, that made him feel worse than the dead woman.

Then, the General woman stepped forward. "We thank you for your kindness," she said calmly. "We will gladly accept any honours which you choose to bestow upon us, noble Legion." She gave a deep bow, and the soldiers followed suit.

Adrik stared at them. How easily they chose to kneel before a killer.

His knees were knocking, but he wouldn't go to the ground. He couldn't. He was 16 for god's sake, why was he even here? He should be back home.

Dead, with your family, a voice whispered in the back of his head.

Isla Greer

---

Isla kept her head lowered, but her eyes remained on the Legion's feet. How quickly he could move- how quickly he could slaughter squadrons of soldiers.

Perhaps, she thought. It was not Manecdon who came to attack us today.

But ultimately, did that even matter? Word would spread from her soldier's camps. Word would go back to Legion with her magician.

She had been put in a cage, and she had no choice but to willingly stay there, or flutter right into the palms of the rest of Manecdon, whom would have no choice but to blame her for the death of half a dozen squadrons that had died on her land. Her pitiful unguarded land, devoid of sense or meaning.

A snavian dove fluttered in the edges of her vision.

I'm sorry, friend, she thought. You are caged here, just as we are.

And so she bit her tongue, and she stared at his shoes and wondered who could shine them so finely and whether or not they could smell the blood. She could.

"Collect the prisoner," she muttered to the man kneeling by her.

He hastened to obey.

Setsuna Jun

---

Setsuna opened his mouth to say something else- then felt a creeping feeling run down his spine. He looked behind himself, and saw a pair of soulless black eyes.

He opened and closed his mouth.

"Can we not die?" he finally squeaked out.

---

Ghost heard someone saying something high pitched and peeked back in the tent to check if they were seen, sure enough when they peek in they see the person staring at them.

---

---

Setsuna Jun

---

The eyes vanished, and in a second were back, more intense than ever. He couldn't really see any pupils, but for some reason, he got the sense that the creature was staring directly at him.

He shuddered, but something in him melted a bit. The creature looked kinda lost. Maybe he could help?

"So uh... you wanna come in?" he tried.

---

"Good, good. I'm glad you've accepted." He walked closer to the general. Something about the way he smiled so casually was unsettling, along with the way his minty eyes glared at you despite the smirk across his face. He adjusted the deep real tie on his black suit, the fabric of his gloves wrinkling slightly. "The Saint Deity of this realm has many a power to bestow upon those who wish it." Her turned his head to the girl. "Go ahead, doll. Give them more power."

She looked at the army through the bright light of her halos, raising a shackled hand to them. A warm feeling washed over the area, encompassing everyone within her radius. It was a short moment, but there was an obvious shift in aura. He pulled her back by the chain, placing his hand on her shoulder. "You should be much better equipped to help our cause, now."

---

Iteral felt a shift in powers. "Okay, no time. Kendo, get us there! Yue, Angel, feel free to tag along!" She nods at him, smiling. "Let's make their time run out!"

---

Kendo snapped. They blinked out of appearance. They appeared in the sky above the legion scene thing idk. Kendo levitated the rest. he grinned.

"Ey, what's going on here? A party? Can we join in?"

A bow appeared in his hands, a quiver taking the place of the cane slung over his back. He nocked a arrow.
