Andrea sheathes her sword, gesturing for him to go ahead. She swirls her arms in the air, collecting the blood and storing it in a bag, then says “Go ahead. I’m fine with you taking the last kill.”


Lilith smiles at Iteral, comforted by her encouragement. “Thanks…” she mumbled softly, tucking her hair behind her ear. Lena taps Lilith, pointing to her cut and frowning. Lilith takes out a small bandage, covering her wound. “Don’t worry Lena, I’m alright”

---

"Hold on, allow me." Iteral appears right next to Lilith when she blinked and had the bandages in her hand, though at first cleaning the wound with a bit of alcohol she had in her backpack. "I might not have been a nurse when I got to Wildana... but I had my fair share of confrontations enough to know how to tend to wounds." She laughs a bit, thinking back of her own past a little. "Heh... still remember Kendo's head in the compartment... ... you did well, Lilith. And you too, Lena. I'm hoping the shining star at the front will take you in."

"Kill em', I guess. What use would they be alive?" Peter shrugged, rolling his bloody sleeves up. He licked the blood off his lips and petted the large spider. "Good job, Ann. Who's a good girl? Yeah, you are. Good girl."

He keeps using lightniing powers against the guards,leaving them with on the ground with no life. As the number of guards started to shrink,Erik attacked the last ones who are standing in the fight.
"Woah. I never did this before. Seems like my sisters training was really good,she is a master in battles." -Erik starts to smile as a wolf

As the others said that he could kill the last guard, Azazel put his sword away and leaned down towards the helpless, now unarmed soldier. He whispered something to the soldier, which made his eyes wide open. The soldier shook their head a bit, then Azazel snapped his neck with his hands. He stood up and walked away from the body, motioning the others to follow him.

"I suppose you're right. It's really nice having you around, Kendo. I'm glad you decided to stay..." She was still largely unsure why he chose to love her back despite her being a religious figure.

-------------------------

Selaphiel rolled her eyes, but nodded anyway. "Fine. She can be part of the team. But if she tries anything, I'm booting her like I did Iteral."

---

Lean looks genuinely confused at this point. "... you didn't boot me. And the other one left on her own to make sure we didn't break time apart." She looks over to her peers, shrugging a little shy. "Though I'm sure she doesn't mean it like that Lilith. You'll be just fine!"

---

He smiled.

"I know, I'm a wonderful person."

He paused.

"... You know, in the end, I die. I don't know the details, but.... I know it."

---

"What happened to not thinking about anything negative? Please don't remind me... I don't want to cry again." She kissed him chastely, staring at him, deep in thought. "I love you, Kendo."

---

"Mhm..."

He tugged on the necklace around his neck, a four pointed star.

"Hey, can you promise me something? You see this necklace? If someone other than me has it... don't touch them. Okay? Just... leave 'em be."

---

"What a strange thing to say at such a time... It's a beautiful necklace." She moved her hand to feel it. "Why would you tell me this? Is something going to happen? Are you going to be hurt?"

---

As he finished all the guards around him,Erik watches the others in confusion asking himself what to do now.
In the same time Erik was really happy that he could help these people escaping from the evil guards.
He keeps looking at the others and making a few steps back. "It was good helping them. I wonder if they need more help in their journey....".

---

"Promise me. Okay?"

He didn't answer the question.

---

"I'm not going to promise anything until you answer my questions first, Kendo. Why can't I touch them? What's going to happen to me if I do? Who are they?"

---

"that information isn't important right now. Please, just promise."

He tugged lightly at the necklace.

Peter waved goodbye to Ann, who went back up the tree, before following after Azazel. He took a vial of black liquid from his belt and drank it, retying his hair back into a bun. A small widow spider crawled up his shoulder, climbing up his head and waving its little legs around.

Some distance away, a lone figure hastily moves through the wasteland. She had been tracking this target for days. If she focused hard enough, she could hear the increasingly rapid heartbeat of her prey. She wouldn't dare use the full extent of her ability in a crowded area. But here, she could do it without facing many risks.

In order to properly track. She would have to make her sense of hearing and smell incredibly sensitive. In places like this, her target couldn't possibly escape her. But in a crowded kingdom? She would have to mindful of her ability, as to not face a risk of going deaf or catching an unsavory scent. She could already see results. No matter how hard he tried, her target couldn't seem to lose her. She smiles, already anticipating the despair he must feel.

Suddenly, her prey comes to a halt. It didn't take long for her to arrive. She slows her pace, eyeing her target. Despite being in a hot environment, he was wearing a heavy hooded coat. It was difficult to make out his face under the shadows of his hood, but she was able to see a golden false eye from within the shadows. It glinted off the sun and made him look oddly menacing.

"Who are you?" He asks slowly. To his credit, he didn't sound afraid. But his heartbeat told a different story. She doesn't give an answer, it didn't matter, he wouldn't be alive long enough to share this tale.

Time seems to slow down as she unsheathes her katanas. Had it been anyone else, they likely would've perished. Her eyes, when the full extent of her ability was active, could pick up on subtle changes. It's what allowed her to see his movements. He moved with impossible speed and managed to close the distance between them in only a few heartbeats. Had she not drawn her katanas, she wouldn't have been able to block his jagged dagger.

He had been smiling, likely expecting to have landed this hit. His smile vanishes when he meets her iron blade rather than flesh. Dakota finally understood why a target like this was so expensive. He was dangerous and incredibly skilled.

-Yet he was no match for her.

The battle didn't last too long. Dakota slowly moves away from her target. For proof of her kill she had taken his false eye, as well as his dagger. A nice parting gift for her client. The second half of this payment would allow her to live lavishly for a few months. She could hardly wait.

Or could she? She pauses, shuffling her feet in the sand. She pivots to face a new direction. There were people nearby. What were they doing all the way out here? Let's find out, shall we?

"I don't know yet, Aret. My knowledge of the future is limited. If someone has this necklace, it means I gave it to them. If I gave it to them, it means that, no matter what they do, you shouldn't touch, harm or bother them."

he fiddled with the necklace.

Andrea followed after Peter and Azazel, cleaning her sword with a small cloth rag. Once done, she sheathed her sword once more. She took out a small vial from her pocket, the liquid inside being deep red. She uncorked it, and drank it all, the bottle seemingly refilling itself. She crouched over a body, drawing the blood out, and corking it into another bottle

---

Lean wanted to ask a thing first, though then quickly retracts it. "No, you'd have recognized me." She wondered, looking over at Yue on her broom. "... are you all doing alright? I know my broom isn't that spacious."
