((that part where it says sliver should be silver hair...sorry bout that. I'm very prone to typos ^^))
"Hello," Kith replied, bowing his head to the dragon.
~Hello, wing-sister.~ Wheryn replied, ears pricked forward. ~She's right, you should listen to me.~ she added smugly, flipping her tail at Kith.
Rubbing his cheek where her tail had hit him, he replied defensively,~I do listen to you...I just don't always act upon your words.~ He watched the other two, rather apprehensively as he had spent much time away from people, and the prospect of being around women was daunting. Though one of the two whom he had not met did seem to be a male.

Arilyne was closing the vial, glad at least that Harabi didn't sem to be too awfully panicked about her nightmare. Though, grabbing her things and yelling at them to run for their lives wasn't necessarily calm, either. She sighed, and glanced over at the stranger and his mare who had emerged from the trees. Barlin stood up as well, bowing his antlered head. ~Welcome, sister of the hoof.~ he said amusedly. It wasn't formal... it wasn't even all that correct, since they were on separate sides of that family. But it made him laugh to himself, which would suffice. Arilyne didn't say much, only knelt to pick up her quiver and toss it over her shoulder. She picked up the shortbow, and snapping a finger across the string with a sharp twang. Good, she thought. It's still tight. She honestly didn't see the point of Harabi's panic, though. if somethign evil was going to come fo them, would running away at the first sign of trouble even do any good?

Sora nodded. "Right, first question then. Are we going to stay, or are we going to go and hide?" She asked, glancing with a sharp gaze to her companions. "Personally, Sapphire and I would rather stand and fight here, close to the lake." she added, a feirce smile upon her lips. She held her bow easily in her hand, the other placed on Sapphire's side.
Sapphire had layed down once more, though it was more of a crouch. She was ready and waiting now, her wings clasped to her sides. ~We stay, if they wish to run we can stall for them.~ she replied.
Sora nodded. "Fine." she said, then grabbed her pack off of Sapphire's spine, as the dragon stood once more, then dove into the lake without making the slightest splash. Sora set her pack down at her feet, sitting down and leaning against it. Her bow now lay over her lap, her arms crossed over her chest as she waited for the others to male their decision. The newcomers probably had no idea what they were talking about. Well they could fill them in if they asked.

"Well if your going to stay I will too" Harabi said quietly, "there's no saftey in splitting up"
She then turned to glare at Kith as if daring him to tell her she was crazy and that her fear was nonesense. She dropped her pack but did not release her staff she had realized the reason that the evil voice had come to her was to terrify her, Sora and Liam/Arilyne so that they would not be prepared to stand up to him. Harabi apoligized for her hysterics even though they were well grounded. Then she began to chant the battle call of her mountian tribe, the sylables wound themselves through the trees and up up to the ears of the eagles on the wind. By the time the prince of hate arrived she would be ready.

Sora nodded to Harabi. "That does make sense." she said with a smile. She listened as the other chanted, the wind ruffling her long, brown hair, once more revealing her pointed ears. She sighed, running her hands up and down the wood of her bow. She appeared completly relaxed, and she mostly was, but for the fact that her musceles were tense beneath her skin.
Sapphire lurked beneath the water, and a rumble of laughter released a column of bubbles. ~Yes, you speak sense.~ she thought to Harabi.

Kith took half a step back at the woman's unexpected hostility. "What exactly are you preparing to fight?" he asked, turning to face Sora, the only one he knew to some degree.
Wheryn pricked her ears toward the stag, ~Hello.~ she replied.
((Meh..couldn't think of anything X.x...))

Sora looked to Kith, shrugging. "From what Harabi told us, we are going to fight a Prince of Hatred or Evil, something along those lines." she explained. "Apparantly he is hunting us at the moment." she added, and the smiled again. "That was why I might have appeared rude to you when we first met. I thought you might be him, but Sapphire told me otherwise. She was right, again." she said with a soft chuckle.
Sapphire laughed in the lake once more, bubbles floating to the surface. ~As I most always am.~ she said, a draconic grin upon her features as she surfaced above the water.

"Ahh, well then I can hardly blame you for your behavior," he replied, "But, forgive me for asking this, why would he be after you?" He found his hands straying towards his bow, and he toyed with it, turning the smooth wood over in his hands.
~I am most curious about that myself.~ Wheryn chimed in, trotting to his side and hooking her head over his shoulder, letting her interest be know to all.
He strung his bow, pulling it back experimentally, he listened to the sharp twang, satisfied. ~Assuming they're telling the truth, should we stay and help?~ he asked Wheryn.
She snorted and tossed her head, ~Of course! They trusted you, prove to them that hteir trust is well placed! Humans.....~

Sora shrugged with a sigh. "I wish I knew.....though Sapphire and I do end up being in this sort of trouble quite a lot." she said, though she didnt go into detail. She still didnt truely wish to reveal them, though she would have to soon.
Sapphire laughed as she glanced to Wheryn. ~Oh, not only humans can be slightly...slow. Elves are susceptible too.~ she thought, amusement clear in her mindvoice. She hadn't sheilded the thought, so anyone nearby could hear what she said if they wished.

~Sometimes I think males are more susceptible to such stupidity.~ she said, ignoring Kith's glare.
~Sometimes I think that you are bent on making my life miserable.~ he said in a miffed tone.
~Be that as it may, you wouldn't last a second without me, I know more about humans than you and you know it.~ she said smugly, switching her tail from side to side.
Gathering his dignity, he managed a glare beofre turning away, placing his back to her in a rather childish manner.

Sapphire seemed to grin even more. ~I cannot argue at all with that.~ she thought, rumbling loudly with laughter.
Sora watched Kith turn, acting childishly. She laughed softly. "I find I must agree also, but that might be because I am female." she said with a grin. "By the way, I am Sora, and that is Sapphire." she said, pointing her chin in her bonded's direction. "What may we call you both by?" she asked.

"I am Kith, the Jewel of Wisdom is Wheryn," he said the last part sarcastically. He switched his gaze between Sora and Saphire, curiosity evident in his face.
Wheryn nickered with amusement at Sora's answer even as Kith introduced them both. ~I think,~ she said to Saphire,~that this is the beginning of a wonderful friendship.~
~Beginning of a life of torture for me then.~ Kith said good-naturedly.

Sapphire continued to rumble. ~I do believe so, this shall be fun.~ she replied, grinning. She flicked her tail in the water, causing droplets to fly out, she was hoping to splash them all. If a fight was iminent, neither Sora nor Sapphire showed it at the moment.
Sora laughed. "Pleasure to meet you both." she said, and then glared at Sapphire as she was splattered with water. She sighed, and then suddenly was dry. "I've figured out that one." she said with soft laugh.

Slowly Harabi's chanting stopped but her concentration did not she began to climb the tree so she could be closer to the spirits of the great warriors to have their strength and wisdom passed down to her. After fifteen minutes she came down because her concentration had been interrupted by Sapphire's thought about slow humans and elves. The very air tense bracing itself against the approaching evil, Harab guessed the prince would be coming from the west because there was a dark cloud of carrion birds gathering in that direction. Harabi hurried to alert others about the positition of the enemy.
"Sora, the prince is coming from the west we should position a sentry, I'll take first watch if you don't mind, and Sapphire if you could maybe fly up later and see what's going on I think that would be wise. And you over there I'm Harabi, who are you?"
While waiting for Kith's answer Harabi out out the fire to hide their location from the prince. If he already had an idea where they were she didn't want to help him out even more. Thinking about rumors she had heard recently Harabi began to guess who the prince really was and what he wanted.

Drops rained down on His face and shoulders for a few seconds, making him look as if he had stepped out into a light spring shower. Wiping a few drops off his face, he grinned at the dragon a low laugh working it's way out of his mouth.
Wheryn snorted and danced away, managing to avoid the water. She kicked out her hind legs exuberantly.
~Energy coming back, is it?~ he asked with a smile, watching as she continued her cavorting about. "She gets like this sometimes," he explained,"when she's feeling particularly energetic."
