[ALL YALL SO READY TO MURDER.

The shadow wolves are instantly distracted by the smell of the lilies, snapping at Perci and following his trail, only to go slippin' cartoonishly when Aides creates the sheet of ice under them. woowoowoowoo there they go

Though, in the brief instance Perci has to let go of the leash before returning, something happens. First, Perci, while brief, experience EXACTLY why he should never let go of his tether. He's close enough to poof back to the group and rejoin, but as soon as he does--]

I see prey. Is it you?

[where did this massive floating shadowy skeleton like wolf come from. Well, it's over head now. It raises a massive paw. . .

and strikes the ground.

There's a rumbling of earth as they seem to be suddenly falling downward. Like down a hill or a cliff, it's hard to tell. On the plus side, the lilies are still sprouting! Hooray, you're falling to uncertain doom in the right direction!

On the other hand there's a giant skeletal wolf flying down after you, maybe do something about that before you hit the ground.]

[TIME NO JUTSU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He divine pulses the earth so it's back to normal and they're no longer falling into the earth. Does the skele-wolf get no-clipped.]

[I

WELL, THE EARTH BEGINS TO REFORM ITSELF, WHILE ALSO CONVENIENTLY BRINGING THEM TO SAFETY AND STEADIER GROUND

THE SKELETAL WOLF HOWEVER, WAS DIVING DOWN SO,

THERE'S NOW HALF A WOLF STICKING OUT??? OF THE EARTH?? it does not seem to know what to do in this situation and kicks its massive feet.

Good. good job.

. . .

Okay that happened we are LEAVING THE WOLVES ALONE NOW GOODBYE

[BACK DOWN THE HILL THE LILIES WERE SPROUTING?? I GUESS

tugging at everyone's leashes MOVE BEFORE THE OTHER WOLVES ARE LIKE ??? WHY IS HALF OF A WOLF IN THE GROUND]

[ YEP LET'S GO LET'S GO ]

[ HEY

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT

LILY WHAT ABILITIES ARE YOU HIDING IN THIS FLOCK???? ]

[ YEAH THIS SEEMS LIKE A GREAT TIME TO LEAVE

taking up the rear again!! ]

[YEP OKAY WE'RE GOING that was a great way to save on time good job team]

[damn. SMACKING CHRONOS ON THE BACK AS HE GOES. GJ.]

[ uwu hehe]

[SO THAT HAPPENED

ANYWAY

They continue on for a while, at least an hour or more, trying to be as stealthy as possible, when finally. FINALLY. The lilies stop sprouting.

The mist is strangely thinner in this area. It looks to be something like a garden, full of rosebushes, and overgrown vines and foliage. It might be quite beautiful if it wasn't, y'know. All ashen and grey and dead.

Well, not all of it is completely dead. In the center of the garden is a defunct fountain, overrun with brittle vines, and dead leaves decorating its dry basins. Most interesting is what sits atop the fountain though. A brilliant, sparkling, golden statue. . .of Charon.]

Lovely, isn't it?

[a voice rings out. Some sort of demon sits a bit away on her patio, sipping at some tea.

What's up.]

[ girl demon ]

[ VIBRATES OUT OF HIS SKIN SO FAST NO ONE CAN SEE IT ]

. . . I dunno, your taste seems a little off.

[not the demon they expected, but it is a demon. activates his Teacher skill for Lily + Minuet so everyone can now SENSE EACH OTHER'S MOVEMENTS AND INTENTIONS so there is no alarm if someone suddenly decides to do a thing]

Excuse me, ma'am, but you have something that belongs to us.

( staying quiet, but his wings are fluffing up and bristling. )

[ No one can see the color draining from Ananke's face when he spots Charon

His posture shifts as soon as he notices the demon, straightening up and pointing his staff at her ]

We're taking him back.

... didn't know there was a trade in golden statued shepherds.

[fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK]

[ picks her up just in case they need to fuckin bolt after grabbing charon cuz his legs are longer ]

[tilts her head at blossom]

Priestess. . .? It's been so long, I nearly didn't recognize you. You look well.

[she takes a sip of her 'tea'. It appears to be blood. It pours through her skull and comes out at the end of her incorporeal tendrils. Then, she rests her chin on her skeletal palm.]

It's also been so long since I've seen such healthy sheep. My my, how are you all? Aside from insulting my taste in decor. . .

But, 'take him back'? You mean to steal this gift? Granted, I did think it was a bit tacky, but how could I say no to such a desperate attempt to win me back? Men truly are so pathetic. It's cute.

Still. . .I've gotten quite used to him. I would be up for a trade though.

[she points at Minuet and Ananke specifically.]

( ... alright. bows at his waist. )

Pardon us, madam, for intruding into your private space. We mean no harm, the journey has worn our souls.

Your gift was taken under false pretenses, I'm afraid. I don't think we can part with a trade, but would there be something else you would like? After all, you must be busy - suitor and all.

[ Moves to the front of the group, planting himself between them and the demon ]

A gift? He was stolen from us. There's no trade to make when we're recovering what's ours.

No deal.

He ain't even a shepherd right now. That's not equivalent at all.

[ Letting Perci talk while mentally physically spiritually fighting the urge to just immediately self-sacrifice and solve this problem ]
