As much as he didn't want to, going into the city was their best bet for survival, more people means they're more likely to be overlooked. " Alright," Zu said softly "I know my way through this place so I can lead, we're going to have to move fast though. He added motioning to the people around him. Ereshkigal was being surprisingly quiet considering the anger he felt the moment beardy approached. Zu couldn't tell why that was, nor did he really care, but he didn't need the shade acting on impulse like that. He's already hard enough to reign in.

there wasn't much time left, as soon as he got confirmation; or even before it should the need arise, they were going to have to make a break for it. To think, my first time back here in four years and I'm already running from them, Zu thought to himself.

"Alright, it's settled then. Angry-man-who-knows-the-place, you'll lead us through the town into its less conspicuous areas. I'll be following you closely."

The parrot on Murphy's shoulder chirped a bit.

"Also, Fayez, I swear to GOD I will cook your ass if you blow our cover."

I JUST SAW THE ANNOUNCEMENT I'M SORRY

"Yes, 'Angry-man-who-knows-the-place', lead the way." His voice clearly had a mocking tone to it as he let out a small smile, apparently finding the nickname funny. The fact Zu agreed to go was good enough for strength is in numbers, but he also knowing the location is almost too good to be true. If everything goes well, they just might sneak into the city without getting into a single fight, but that might be asking a bit too much. Reisy was never an optimistic person, but he hope everything would go well this time.




Most important though, was how the Knights were handling this. Having already trained to be one, although having his training cut short for a few reasons, he knew exactly how powerful a Knight had to be to at least enter the ranks, let alone achieve a high one. Reisy wondered for a second whether it was truly the best idea to stop his training and start living as a hunter to those that made a pact, but quickly changed his focus back to the situation at hand. 'What ifs' are not important, just reality is. He had 2 reliable partners with him, And even though one of them was someone that made a pact, he didn't gave the aura of someone that would do it to kill others. He would have to ask about Zu's background after all of this was done.

"Right then" Zu said as he turned around "We're going to stick to the forest until we get as close as possible, then make a dash for the gate." Zu didn't wait for confirmation before he started running, no time to. Every bone in his body was telling him to run faster, but for the sake of his companions he kept it as slow as possible, he was still however a good ways in front of the other two.


"Keep up you two." Zu couldn't help but think the raccoon finally got it's way with lil' reddie's head, so he cast another glance backwards just incase. Seeing that he was still following and beardy not far behind him, he kept going.

after about 20 minutes the group finally reached their destination, however there was a slight hindrance within sight. Three human-like creatures stood in front of the gate, weapons at the ready. Normally this would be a welcoming sight, however, these had many additions to them that made them not quite human. All three had a tail, small horns protruding from the head on two of them though the other lacked this. It appears they are almost as varied in physical appearance as humans.

As his traveling partners approached him he put a finger up to his mouth and made a noise telling the other two to be as quiet as possible before motioning towards the occupants standing guard.

"There's no other way in as far as I know." Zu whispered, " You guys ready for this?"
