~Theon~
Theon tensed and whipped around to face Ase. "A ryori just snuck into the tunnels, I think she's looking for Altair." Theon had no Idea how he knew this but he did.

Perhaps it was his strong magical blood that allowed him to connect with the ryori. After all elves were to humans as sylesti were to animals, the only thing that truly set them apart was magic.

Wisp~
She felt lost in the tunnels, small even. She wanted to go home, back to her mother though she knew it was not that simple. Carefully she creeped along until something grabbed her by the back of her neck. Clawing and hissing she fought back though lost as the morkko carried her in the light.

Maria~
"Look what I found." She said prancing towards her companion. He lifted his head and gazed at the little animal. "It's a ryori." Afraid to let the little animal down she held it tightly in her jaws.

Altair-
He felt he knew this kit from somewhere though he was unsure. "I hope you don't plan on eating it." He said simply laying his head back down with a yawn.

Ase~
"How do you know that?" She questioned. She was cross suddenly and she didn't know why, had Mother Nature stopped for a visit again? She hated mood swings, they killed more than blades did.

~Theon~
Theon shook his head, "I have no idea but, it seems your other morkko friend found her first. We should probably get back as fast as we can."

Ryori were rare so it was hard to know but, as far as he could remember Theon had always had this connection to the shadow creatures. Keeping his mind connected to hers Theon hurried along next to Ase, in fact he was one pace in front of her as they made their way back.

Maria~
"Why would I do that?" She snorted placing the little animal on the ground. The little animal lashed out hitting her on the nose before turning to the male. It ran circles before dashing off down the tunnel. "Great it got away." Though as she turned the male took off after it with unnatural speed. Seeing nothing wrong wth it she followed.

Ase~
She sighed and followed reluctantly.

~Theon~
Theon hesitated in his step for a moment then rushed forward with unnatural speed. Stopping suddenly he felt the cool breeze around him as the ryori attempted to evade him. He held out a hand and spoke with his mind rather than his voice. Stop, I don't want to hurt you

Wisp~
She disappeared into the shadows appearing ten feet in front of him, of of his grasp. Altair growled and bumped the man out of the way as he follows the kit. She needed help and knew the mother would not have liked a human coming to help.

~Theon~
He didn't even stumble as Altair pushed him out of the way. Swivelling around he focused completely on the little ryori, he could see her so clearly in his mind. Without half realizing what he was doing Theon slipped completely into the ryori's mind.

His body went completely still and swayed on the spot as he leaned his back against the tunnel wall. He saw everything she saw, felt everything she felt. Little did Theon know that, for the very first time in his life he had just used magic.

Maria~
She bolted ahead of them all thinking it was mostly just a game as the small kit led them towards the outside world. She busted into the light of outside the first thing she saw was the hunter as she crashed into them.

Wisp~
She squealed as the hunter tried to grab her. She darted passed them not wanting to end up like her father.

~Theon~
Theon snapped back into himself and gasped aloud, he hadn't been breathing the entire time he had been inside the ryori's mind. This was bad, very very bad.
"Ase! Your morkko friend just exited the tunnels and a hunter saw her do it!"

Ase~
What?! "We have to help them!" She shouted running forward. What was she talking about she wasn't a fighter but they needed help!

Altair-
He rushed from the tunnel attacking one of the hunters as he did. "Maria!" He shouted seeing that she was down and under attack from the hunter she had knocked over. Her cries filled the air as she was stabbed by the hunters knife. This caused the male to go berserk as he rushed to her side knocking men down as he did. He had no clue how many there was or how many he had already killed his only goal was to make sure Maria was safe.

Ase~
She joined him using the sword at her side to hit one of the hunters. The blow didn't kill him though for he turned and hit her back. The blow wasn't much, just a tap really but it was enough to hurt. She lashed out again taking off his helmet before taking his head off. She charged forward after this feeling good about the fight.
