Maybe if we stylize our armor to look more like a Dragon, people and monsters will be more deterred?

Though it would be kind of cool if we took part of a pagan Magic Ritual that turned us into a Red Dragon covered in armor plates.

You nod to Morgan, agreeing with her course of action.

"Hmph, see? We should be a little more cautious about this." Morgan puts her hands on her hips smugly, not knowing it just made her look really cute instead of commanding. The wagging tail wasn't helping matters either.

"I suppose I have little choice." Elias shrugs. "If my own escorts are adamant about it, then it shall be so."

"Good." Morgan nods as she looks ahead of the caravan. "We're going to be reaching the foot of the mountain soon, which means the terrain is going to open up and leave us vulnerable to ambush. I'll take a small group ahead to scout the forest for any threats."

You nod as Morgan starts picking out who will be scouting ahead. It would be a small group, just Morgan, Niko, and Artya.

"If we run into any trouble, well... you'll know." Morgan smiles as she pats your arm. "We'll wait for you to catch up once we've cleared the forest!"

And just like that, your three scouts dash ahead, sliding down the mountain slope and into the trees below.

That just left you with Nino and the Mages, as well as Naru, Valentia, and Janice. Elias and the Twins were staying securely in the center of the caravan, where all of their valuable research materials and the dragon parts and trophies were being transported. Valentia, being who she is, was taking the lead with Janice while Naru and Nino were bringing up the rear.

You head to the back of the caravan where Naru and Nino were, both of them sitting on the back of the last wagon, legs swishing back and forth in the air.

"Sheesh, is that a new book?" Naru frowns as she looks over to her young charge. "I swear, you keep picking up more every time I'm not looking!"

"Mhm!" Nino nods. "I found it in the big cave where that crystal dwarf was! It's really fascinating!"

"So, what's it about?" Naru asks as she leans over.

"I have no idea!" Nino smiles. "It's written in Dwarvish and I haven't learned how to read that yet! But the runes are really pretty!"

"Of course." Naru sighs.

You look to Naru and point over to Janice at the head of the caravan, wondering just what exactly she thought about the demihumans.

"Oh, what Morgan's people are like?" Naru pauses as she thinks on it. "Terrifying as hell, that's for sure, especially if they're anything like Morgan."

You give her a curious stare.

"I mean it in a good way!" Naru says quickly. "But yeah, just seeing how well adapted they are to their abilities is just really damn scary. Sol, how fast they can run and the way they can sense stuff before they even see it, and the way they just tear up anything in their path... I'm glad they're on our side."

You nod at that. They would be valuable allies against the Elves, that was for sure. But you and the Templars would have to keep a close eye on them in the future, in case they got any "ideas."

"But damn, we left so fast I never even got a chance to try out this." Naru takes out a bottle of clear liquid.

"Special stuff they call 'moonshine'. All homemade in the valley. Pretty powerful stuff, I hear." Naru explains as she tries to pop the cork. "Makes me really damn curious, you know?"

"Uh oh, we're doing this again?" Nino sighs.

"Come ooooooon, just one sip!" Naru pleads.

You remain adamant and instead keep the bottle. Looks like you'll have to play the role of the babysitter right now.

"You're no fun." Naru grumbles. "Even Sol likes to have a drink from time to time. Why do you think alcohol is flammable?"

However, just a slight change in the lighting, a brief shadow flashing across your vision, alerts you to something in the air. You immediately crane your head upwards and see three giant eagles circling in the sky.

Now, eagles were not an uncommon sight in these high mountain peaks, but there was something that you also knew. They happened to be the favored aerial mount for Elven forces. Sure enough, you could see three vaguely humanoid shapes riding the eagles.

Thankfully, though, they don't seem to have noticed your presence, having just flown in over the peak, you were directly under them in their blind spot.

"Do you think you can hit 'em from here?" Naru whispers to Nino.

"Pretty sure, yeah. If I use the right spell." Nino nods.

"Of course, I'll set up a glamour. Hopefully at this distance they won't be able to tell." Elias nods as he raises his arms, his hands glowing blue with energy.

And just like that, a net of blue energy forms over the caravan like a tent, presumably shielding it from sight on the outside. The trio of eagles circle around for a minute or two, but ultimately don't linger for too long, flying off down towards the forest.

The forest where Morgan and the others were.

Romulus gives a worried whine.

What if those eagles were zeroing in their position?

You run up to Janice, patting her on the shoulder to grab her attention. You then point to the eagles and then to the forest.

"You want me to warn Morgan?" Janice blinks. "All right, consider it done!"

Janice then bends down into a low, feral stance before dashing away with blinding speed, Romulus only barely being able to keep up with her as they bound for the forest.

"And what should we be doing in the meantime?" Elias wonders.

"All right, but are defenses are dangerously thin now." Elias warns.

You nod at the ramifications. The Twins weren't going to be leaving Elias' side, leaving just you, Nino, Naru, and Valentia to watch over the rest of the caravan. You weren't sure if Valentia could take point by herself, but you didn't like the idea of leaving the relatively vulnerable Nino and Naru by themselves, either.

"We're being attacked from behind!" Caroline yells as she waves her baton, sending a line of fire shooting up into the cliffs above.

Sure enough, you could see a trio of treants securely rooted in the cliff face above, using their mighty arms to pull up rocks and boulders from the mountain itself and tossing or rolling them down the mountain towards you.

Nino takes position as the next set of rocks comes tumbling down the mountainside. She begins to glow as she channels mana through her body but... something's wrong.

You feel your armor tingle, like an electric current is running through it when you hear Nino scream. Your gaze snaps back to her, and you see her lying on the ground twitching, blood pooling underneath her body.

"Nino!" Naru yells, already rushing over to tend to the fallen Mage.

"Shit!" Caroline seethes as she sees what happens, but can't afford to stop to help. "Justine, we gotta pick up the slack!'

"Understood." Justin nods and the two Mage Knights interpose themselves between the rocks and Naru and Nino. In one smooth, synchronized motion, they sweep their batons in a horizontal slash, creating a wall of thick ice in front them. The boulders smash into the wall, but fail to break it, giving your caravan the critical time it needed to get clear of the mountain trail and into the forest.

As much as you wanted, you didn't have time to check on Nino. You'd just have to trust that Naru could handle things from here. Without any further thought or hesitation, you charge forward to the front of the caravan, intent on finding the rest of your party. The Twins should be able to bring up the rear now.

Now, you needed to find Morgan, more than ever.

I just knew that Nino was actually a hell portal in human form. Could also explain why she never mentioned her parents...

You trudge through the forest when you see Janice emerge. She puts a finger up to warn you to be quiet and motions for you to follow her.

She leads you to a small clearing where you could see a contingent of Elven cavalry circling around a small copse of trees on large, might stags. Directly above, the three eagle riders flew in a tight circle as well. Obviously, they had trapped something in the copse of trees, and judging from the occasional arrow that flew out at the Elves, you could safely guess who it was in there.

"They're really pulling out all the stops now." Janice grimaces. "We need to give them an opening to break out."

You nod.

I mean Belzebub is an alright guy once she introduced us to him.

We gotta ask about her parents sometime though, preferably when she isn't lying in a pool of her own blood.

How close are we to the Storm Drake's territory? Can we decide to summon it by screaming insults and challenging it?

>>2559562
>>No time, you have to make the opening now.

Time to make our debut. I suggest some psychological warfare by making dragon noises, drinking (fake) dragon blood before the fight, and playing up that we are a Dragon Reborn in the form of a man.

There was no time to wait for the rest of the caravan to catch up. You would have to make that opening now. As you observe, you see that there were six Elven riders and their stags, while three eagle riders soared above. The cavalry were preventing Morgan's group from escaping on the ground, and the eagles up above were preventing any attempt to escape through the tops of the trees, as they could simply swoop down on anybody caught in the open.

If that doesn't work our pousoned spear on the stags should do the trick. After wall spearmen wins against cavalary everyone knows that.

You immediately break cover and head for the Elven cavalry galloping around the copse of trees, intent on breaking their formation and giving Morgan an opening to slip out. Shouldn't be too difficult...

You burst out of the trees, your armor now flaming and spilling embers, a reflection of your current mood as you stand in the path of the approaching Elven cavalry. The sight of you alone is enough to cause their formation to scatter, the stags put into a state of fright by your appearance.

And that's when Janice makes her move leaping out like a massive wolf and tackling the closest stag, tearing into its throat with tooth and claw. The shocked rider is sent tumbling to the ground, where Romulus finishes him off with a bite to the throat.

It was at this point you could see Morgan, Niko, and Artya make a dash across the clearing. You could also hear eagles shrieking as they dove down, wings flapping and claws extended.

At the same time, the cavalry was attempting to rally.

You immediately switch track and pivot to face down the eagles, who were already swooping down at Morgan. Morgan herself was getting her bow ready to shoot them as they came down, but she could only fire so many arrows at once...

However, before you can do anything, Morgan is already on the move. She fires her first arrow, landing it cleaning through the eye of the first eagle, causing it to flinch and slam into the ground. Morgan doesn't even waste a second, grabbing one of the eagle's wings and with inhuman strength, swings the entire creature around like a makeshift club and slams it into the second eagle with a sickening CRUNCH.

And finally, Morgan leaps up onto the third eagle, kicking its Elven rider off and grabbing the back of its neck. Panicking, the eagle takes off into the sky, with Morgan still on it.

Meanwhile, having witnessed Morgan's pure savagery, as well as realizing that you were the Ashwalker in the flesh, the remaining Elves begin to flee into the trees.

"Is it... over?" Niko pants, wiping the blood off of her daggers.

Artya just shrugs, wiping some spattered blood off of her mask.

Short pursuit, and then reform. Pursuing too far into the forest is asking to be ambushed in turn.

You decide to stop for now. Trying to chase them now was counterproductive, especially since you still had the caravan to protect. You do a quick check of everybody present. With the exception of Morgan, everybody was accounted for, with no serious injuries, thankfully.

"Shit, those Elves are really stepping up their game now, aren't they?" Niko grimaces. "You think they have any idea of why we're out here? Or do they just not like us that much?"

You just shrug grimly. It could be either, but it didn't really matter in the end, anyways.

That's when Artya pats your shoulder rapidly and points up.

You tense up when you see the third eagle land, but instead of an Elf, Morgan casually leaps off, the eagle apparently having been tamed.

"Um..." Morgan pauses bashfully. "So what do we do with this thing...?"

>And that's it for tonight! As always, next thread is next week, and don't forget Macross on Friday!
