Austyn waves to the crabs and goes past them. Churrio seems less than pleased with the whole water thing, but she gets past too.

Azrail finally couldn't wait longer. 'I'm going. I think something happened.' He explains as he goes the direction Riley had pointed.
"If that happened than he's long gone and I can leave without feeling too guilty." Riley says, getting up and testing his wings, turning all dragon and preparing to fly off. Azrail shakes his head and sighs.
'Fine. You can go. I'll look for Will.' Azrail says, and starts his lonely journey to try and find Will. When he sees blood, he fears the worst. He sighs and looks around, trying to find any sign of where Will went. He tried to find any clue of which direction Will - or what had Will - went. He figured there would be some broken branches or disturbed floor or some sign. He finds some clue, and dashes after, hoping he could catch up to Will before he died. Or worse. Or better. Who knew.

The crabs wave back, watching them go. There was air now, so they didn't need to swim anymore. Sitting on the ground was North. She had crocodile skill, her body made of ice. She was skinner then West, lacking the bone tail they had. She did have claws though. She turned to look at them, clicking her teeth together.

Will realized he was leaving a trail of blood and quickly wiped his wrist again, now regretting what he had done moments before. He tripped over a root, falling. He caught himself, quickly getting up and running. He yelped and skidded to a stop as a creature landed in front of him. It looked like a walking red feathered cat. It's fur crackled with heat, which Will didn't mind. It hissed at him, showing him long sharp claws.
"No pass. Die," It hissed at him as it lunged at him, Will rolling away from it.
He let himself shift into his ice demon, lunging at the cat. He grabbed it, freezing it. It fought back, giving him some nasty scratched on his arm, chest and one on his cheek. It finally froze though, much to his relief. He punched it, shattering it to a million pieces before shifting back to his human form, continuing to walk on.

Austyn waves cheerfully to North. "Hi!" Churrio tries to dry her wings off. "Gah, water can be annoying."

Azrail couldn't help but worry for Will. Blood was not a good sign. And the shattered beast wasn't either. He pauses to catch his breath, leaning against a tree, hissing as he exhaled. Running to catch up wasn't helping his injury, in fact he was pretty positive it was making it worse. He rests his head on the bark of the tree and catches his breath. He sure hoped Will hadn't made his curse worse.

"Hi," She growled in West's language before pausing a moment and speaking english, "Hello there. What brings you here," She stood up, revealing her leg, which was chained to the floor.

Will kept going on. Finally stopping. The cold was getting worse and he started shivering, realizing it was getting worse. He still had a long ways to go so he walked on, even though he felt like someone had chucked him over to the Artic. He was bleeding a bit worse, but he ignored it, not minding the blood that was soaking his clothing. He would make it, he had to.

(Gtg)

"We are here because... Eh, not quite sure. I forgot. But it has been fun searching for you! You're West's sibling, I assume, and we need you for... Something, I forget." Austyn says. " Something about pillars, right?"

Azrail chides himself for taking a break and continues, though every step seemed to be pressing a spike further into his side. His leg gave out once, but he regained control and kept on going.
Wind whistled above him, and he glanced up, fearing the worst. A dragon swoops down and catches him in his talons. "Azrail, don't panic. I'm just bringing you over to Will." Riley says, gliding over the forest until he had reached Will. "And here is where I leave you for now. Call me if you need anything." Riley says before going lower and letting Azrail go. The dragon didn't land, rather, turning himself around and heading back. He wasn't too eager to keep getting dragged into this mess.
Azrail yelps as he hits the ground. But there was Will. He was ok! He races over and gives him a big hug, pouring his whole heart and strength into trying to heal him. 'Don't do that again.' He signs before calming himself down, now that he knew Will was ok. He gives Will another hug, seeming really reluctant to let him go, like if he did he would disappear in thin air.

"Pillars of peace," West growled sitting down.
"Ah yes, the pillars! I am their sister, North, commander of the water and ice! Sadly I had go hide so people wouldn't be after me," She froze the chain, watching it shatter to pieces, "Shall we head? Who next, I assume either East or South?"

Will sighed, "So long," He said with a sigh, his movements slowing a bit.
Then he heard wing beats and yelped in surprise as he got hugged attacked by Azrail. He felt instantly better, the feeling of coldness disappearing. He also wasn't bleeding anymore, which was good. He felt kinda bad so he didn't hug him back until the second hug.
"I'm sorry," He whispered feeling tears run down his face even though he hadn't asked them to, stupid tears.

"Let's go East! That way we can meet up with Azrail, Riley, and Will, see how theyre doing, find East, and then move on to South and the pillars!" Austyn suggests.
Churrio had finally gotten some of the feathers dry and wasn't too eager to go back in the water.

With Will ok and hugging back, Azrail felt a little reluctant to break up the hug, so he didn't yet. He continued to heal Will, wishing he could just heal him and turn out the curse for forever. Azrail heard Will say sorry and didn't know how to respond. Maybe he should be feeling angry that Will had left him. Sad? Perhaps annoyed. But Azrail was only glad that Will wasn't dead. He doesn't let go of Will, rather holding Will's hand. He was still afraid that Will would disappear or face away if he didn't keep contact with him. After a while he accepts that his tears were real but he was overreacting a bit. He lets go of Will's hand and apologized himself.

"Hm, who are this people," North asked walking into the water, easily walking through it, "We should head out then. You know what East is like, he always complains and tries to set everything on fire. I hope he's in a chill mood, if he can even be chill."

Will wiped away the tears, annoyed that his emotions had done that without his permission. He didn't mind the hug, happy Azrail was back. It was an odd feeling and made him feel really happy. He didn't mind it for once, finally feeling happy was a win for him.
"It's not your fault," He admitted turning away so he wasn't looking at him, so he wouldn't see the fear in his eyes, "I just don't want you to s-see that... plac-ce."
He could tell he was on the verge of crying again so he angrily wiped his tears away. He hated how complex feeling where, it was so confusing and upsetting.

(Me: *Peaks over* Just need to write a long post for a rp no one will join *Pulls out tranquilizer gun* except probably you and Foxy. Hm... or no one... my ideas are... interesting xD)

(I love your interesting ideas. Fun, creative, exciting.)

Austyn starts telling North what their friends were like - or at least his friends. He tried to keep from chatting everyone's ears off, but he can't help himself if he does it on accident even a little bit.

'What place?' Azrail asks, before shaking his head, 'Doesn't matter.' He amends, not wanting to have Will explain something he didn't want to. He wanted to comfort him more. He wanted to wipe Will's tears away and then get rid of anything that was causing him grief. Azrail, however, was unable to, more accustomed to healing outside hurts than inside ones.

(Me? Creative? Maybe xD, but not as creative as others... like the pineapples OoO)

North listens, seeming perfectly chill with his talking. She finally walks out of the water, turning to look at Churrio.
"You need help," She asks poking her wing, "I can dry to if you want."
Zio walks up with West, who seems pretty fine with the events that are unfolding. West sits down once out of the water, shaking water off themselves.

'Evil place, place my mother died' He signed, his trembling hands the only thing that revealed how much it bothered him. It was a place he had never been, but had lots many to. His mother had died going there and now he knew why, for him. It was so unfair and it tore his heart to pieces. She didn't deserve that, but it happened. He had to keep going though, as much as he didn't want to, he had to.
