The horse stomped and snorted as it restlessly waited in the cool autumn night, the rider upon it remained still save for a hand that stroked the animal. This was it...the stronghold where he had made camp. So far he himself was the only Dovah Born here, but that was soon to change. He had found the others. They were all in one spot thankfully, though it was a hard journey nonetheless. He would have to be careful even if he flew as it would only draw attention to himself, more so than walking would, but it would save time. Sliding from the horse the man let the hood of the cloak fall as a swirl of fiery red smoke engulfed him. In a panic the horse reared back and fled the scene as the dragon stood where it's master had once been. His scales glowed with the heat of the sun, even at night. Sure it would lead to being found but as long as he flew above the clouds it would be alright. The large drake flicked his tail some before taking a hop forward and shooting into the sky with a flap of his wings. There was a storm brewing, and by the way his scales rattled it would be devastating.

The flight had taken all night into the next day. Not once did he stop, even for rest thus when he finally landed on the outside of town he crumpled into an exhausted heap. Maybe...maybe a few moments rest would do well though not here, no here was not safe. Wincing some with the weight of his now human body, the man made his way to the road. The rest of the day was spent walking towards the town, even then he only stopped once he reached the inn. As the door opened a familiar warmth came up to meet him, cutting the chill that seemed to have over taken him during his walk. A child or two ran about the place as a bard sang a song of despair and the lose of life. All in all the fire was the only warm thing in the entire place. With a heavy sigh he took a seat in a chair that was set close to the fire, holding his hands out to the flames which danced before them. Perhaps these children were some which he was seeking though it was doubtful, they all seemed to have brown eyes not the colorful ones they should have if they were indeed like himself. Waiting for morning seemed to be his only option for now with the dark come shadows, and with shadows...death. The only thing in his near future seemed to be a warm meal and a night's sleep. A bowl of stew did well to finish warming him, and a bed to rest his aching body. Tomorrow was another day...a day of hope for this dying world.
A mist filled the room...a dark mist like a gas form of the shadows undertoe. It seeped under the door, covering everything living and nonliving until they were no more. He was unable to move as this happened, all he could do was watch as the mist overtook himself. A burning sensation filled his lungs and nose as the shadows seeped into his mouth and nostrils. Try as he might he couldn't stand, breath, even see as the shadow devoted him. 'We are waiting Geralt...' A female voice whispered before all went black.
Gasping the man shot up from the bed grasping his chest and coughing a bit. Another night terror...great. A bit of grey light shone through the window signaling to the man that it was indeed morning. Like always he felt tired still yet it was better than he had felt the night before. Yawning and rubbing his eyes, Geralt made his way out of the inn, and into the street. Now he just had to find the children. The red orange of his eyes took on a sharper color suddenly, the shapes of each child glowing lightly about the town. Only those of Dovah Blood took on a slightly colored outline. Maybe this wouldn't be as hard as he thought....

Asha walked over to a little girl looking at a puppy. You look like someone who would take very good care of her. Ill give her to you for half the original price. Sound good? she asked the little girl. The little girl nodded and ran out of the shop to tell her parents. Asha smiled. She picked up the puppy. Good luck in your new home... she said and kissed the little puppys forehead. When the girl came back with her parents in tow, she handed the puppy over and took the money the parents handed her. She thanked them as they left.

Hato walks around town aimlessly looking around corners before finding a dark alley way were he can sit. As he sits he unravels a piece of cloth that he had been clutching. Inside the cloth was berries collected from the near by forest. Slowly Hato ate them one by one, some were bitter, some were sweet, after he finishes he starts to think about the recent events.

Slowly his vision shifted back to normal and he pulled the cloak about himself, hiding his features from the crowd. The less people saw of him the better, let alone his eyes. Carefully he made his way towards the square, watching the people as they passed. They all looked the same, all had the same uncolored outlines. Upon entering the square though he saw her, with the purple outline. At least the trip hadn't been in vain. Now with haste he made his way towards her, stepping into the shop as if just another customer. "I'm here looking for something, I was wondering if you could help." He asked after a moment. Sure it was suspicious, but he didn't have the time to beat around the bush.

The girls dark hair whipped over her shoulder as the wind shot past her. She walked through the market, her cloak wrapped around her tightly around her as she took careful steps. Where she stepped, it was difficult to notice, but the shadows curled away slightly. Jatara's steel colored eyes darted around.
Some people avoided her in town. She was used to it- her eyes were strange to most people who had eyes that were a more common color than the silvery grey her irises were. Jatara headed towards the inn for a meal.

Hato see a man in a cloak entering the near by shop. He stares at him with his unusually light blue eyes from the dark alley way watching if he comes out.

Asha turned towards the man Looking for a pet? We have dogs, cats, birds, rabbits and a few mice, and if you come back in a few months, I may have a field to keep horses and the occasional abandoned baby animal. A few weeks ago I found a whole litter of wolf pups abandoned on my front door! I raised the pups till they were ready to be released. Except for one, his leg was permanently damaged, Im looking for a proper home for him. I doubt anyone will take him though, poor little guy. Wolves arent exactly common pets and few know how to care for them she said. She tapped her foot twice on the ground and a small wolf limped out from behind the counter. This is Cloud! she said excitedly.
