Zareal did not know what was going on, he did not who any of these people were, or where he was, all he knew was that it was "Tellius"

He then heard one of them shout something about reinforcements.
He started to run...

[Mankut]

Mankut ran into the trees, but this time he didn't stop. He could hear arrows whizzing around him, but he didn't stop until he got out of range of the archers. Mankut leaned against a tree trunk to catch his breath, then looked around. He was so deep in the forest, the others wouldn't be able to find him. Mankut pulled out his backup knife and carved arrows on the trees pointing to where he was going. He then walked towards the nearest town.

Zorn strolled along through the forest, pondering the words the person had spoken to him. "Zion...? Ehh... What the hell, I just want the money. Bet the side that that guy was on would pay a lot for a decent fighter." As Kraan thought, a couple of archers burst through the trees. "Hm. Wouldn't want my money to fly away because that guy got killed. Let's see..." Kraan plucked two knives out of his brace, and flung them at the archers, one of the knives plunging into a back, the other lodging itself in the back of one's neck.

[Seraphinox]

Zareal did not know where he was going, he just kept running.
He burst through the trees and ran straight into someone, he fell to the ground. He looked around and saw that this guy had killed two of the archers from the army....

He looked up at the man...

[Rennac]

Zorn looked down, seeing a man he'd not seen before. Zorn held his dagger to the man's throat and asked " Who're you? Are you with that... Rebel guy, or are you with... uh, Zion?"

[Seraphinox]

"My name is Z-Zareal, I don't know where I am or who anyone is!" Zareal said hurriedly eyeing uneasily the knife at his throat "I was thrown overboard off a ship and woke up on the beach"

[Rennac]

"Thrown off a ship, huh? Looks like you're in the same situation as me." Zorn sheathed the dagger, then extended a hand to Zareal. "I'm going to find some rebel guy so I can make some money. Want to come along?" As he was speaking Zorn noticed a carved arrow on a tree. "Another question: Think we should follow that arrow?" Zorn asked, motioning his head at the arrow.

[Seraphinox]

"I don't care as long as i can get out of these wet clothes" Zareal said. He didn't fully trust this guy but he must make allies or else he would not survive.

"You decide" I said "Who left those marking there is the question"

[Rennac]

"Well, let's follow it. I can tell if it leads to a trap. Can you use a blade?" Zorn asked, wondering how useful his new comrade would be. "You can get some clothes from the dead guys, if you don't mind the bloodstains."

[Seraphinox]

"hmmm, Bloody clothes will be okay for the moment, but the minute I get the chance I'm getting some proper clothes" Said Zareal wondering why he had not though of it before.

"I can't use a blade but I can use an axe, all pirates learn to wield one"
Zareal changed into dead-man clothes and then said "Okay, we'll follow the arrows then"

He started to walk in the direction it pointed...

[Rennac]

"An axe, huh? Well, we'll have to look for one." Zorn also walked in the direction of the arrow, after a while coming to a denser part of the forest. Zorn chopped off a limb of a tree, and gave it to Zareal, as a crude club. "It's not an axe, but will it work?" Zorn asked, feeling that they were going to come upon something soon.

[Seraphinox]

"I guess so, Iw won't kill anything but will knock them unconscious" Zareal said.
He felt uneasy as if something else was in the area. He looked in the shadows...


(laguz?)

[Rennac]

Zorn saw Zareal look briefly into the shadows, then jumped as something looking like a Mauth Doog from back home jumped out at Zareal. "Zareal! Monster!" Zorn yelled as he threw a knife at it, hitting it in its flank.

[Mankut]

Mankut heard a scuffle and turned around. As he ran through the forest, he encountered a tiger laguz, and the two soldiers from before fighting it. Mankut ran to the laguz and quickly sliced at it.

[Seraphinox]

Zareal jumped backwards as some sort of tiger jumped out of the trees at them, he readied his, um "club". But suddenly the man who had saved his life came running through the trees and sliced at the laguz.

Zareal ran towards it and gave it an almighty "Thud" on the head. It did nothing...

[Rennac]

Zorn saw the guy who he'd talked to run up and attack the... thing." Thanks for... urk... the help." Zorn muttered as he was narrowly missed by one of the thing's claws.

[Dath]

Ash ran and tackled Zareal out of the way of the dead hounds snapping jaws. He brought his spear up, and stabbed the animal through the jaws and up continuing past the roof of it's mouth, and through the brain. The animal dropped to the ground, dead.

"What the hell...is that?" Ash muttered, but began to hurry about again. "More soldiers, come! We have a safe haven, about a mile down the road. If we can make it there, we're saved!" He yelled to the others, before leading the way.

[Seraphinox]

Zareal got had a lucky escape, This person "Ash" had now saved his life twice.

He heard something about shelter and so started to run in the same direction as Ash

[Mankut]

Mankut followed Ash, breaking into a run as he heard soldiers following them. "Hurry Up!" Mankut yells at no one in particular.

[Dath]

Ash nodded in agreement, and began to run even faster.
