Murphy was a bit startled at the woman who began to question the ensuing fight. He regained some of his composure, and turned to her.

"Sorry, ma'am, I don't know anything about this fight here. In fact, I'm starting to get more concerned..."

His hook pointed to the sky.

"...at how dark everything's getting. It's mid-day, and darkening skies are usually a sign for storms. These skies seem much different than the skies I've seen in my travels, so I suggest you know where you're gonna run."

He paused to watch the fight a bit more. There had been a pause, and one man in particular reacted heavily to the darkness, screaming in agony almost in response to the skies.

Something was wrong.

"I suggest that you try to stay alongside me. I've made up my mind, I'm running straight to those two if something big's coming."

[Aelthain]

He barely gave the newcomer a look before his focus was taken by the darkening sky. He could barely contain his excitement, pulling his cloak tighter. He'd be damned if this wasn't the doing of Watchers, and though the thought of an attack closing in on the area he was in, Aelthain was excited. He'd never been this close!

[Theios]

Theios came around the corner and at the end of the hallway, he spotted a girl dressed in black. He had a feeling it was the one he had seen in the window earlier, and he had a peculiar feeling of curiosity rising in him.
He began walking towards her, not keeping in mind that his current stride was reminiscent of a shark - Theios had a frightful focus in his eyes, though he was more curious and intrigued than anything.

"Hello," he called out, "are you alright?"
It wasn't very usual for him to ask this of complete strangers - but he knew it tended to be usual for humans, and so he did what any good kill-for-hire would do - he blended in.

[Henri]

Henri scratched his head as he looked up at the sky, worry in his eyes. He was currently standing guard atop one of the outer towers, his longbow stationed and ready for use in case of an enemy attack.
Judging by the darkening sky, it wouldn't be an attack they would easily be able to defend themselves from.

He gave the soldiers patroling beneath his station atop the tower a quick glance as he waited for the eventual information he might receive about what actions would be taken in the event of yet another attack.

"A Tourist?"

It was obviously a lie... but he had no reason to state he believed so. People coming and going had their reasons, and as long as they didn't bring too much attention to themselves, he need not bother looking too deep. Although it was interesting enough for so many outsiders to appear. He sighed as the sky only grew darker around them. Like all those who had once experienced a Watcher encounter, he knew they were the cause. Most of the Villagers, save some stragglers and a few Knights, were probably locking themselves in their houses.

"The Watchers are the cause of this night sky... if any of you need a place to stay, you are welcome within the Knight's barracks," He shrugged. "We have food, water, and rooms for Foreign Interests in the kingdom.

Adele stretched a little and spoke again. "... Or, theres an Inn within the village... or you can rest out here for the night. As a Knight for this village, I'm expected to accompany Foreigners whichever route you all choose."

[Azura and Levi]
She ran her gloved finger up to the tip of the cutlass in her hand. She then pushes her finger onto it, causing it to bleed. But Azura didn't really care. She's seen enough bloodshed in her life. She was so young too.

They saw her as a psychopath. But she wasn't. She was gentle and hated killing. But she was made to. Her father no longer loved her.

Well, I guess you could call her kind. Her monotone expression didn't help anything. Or her voice.

She looked up and saw the sky. The clouds were tipped with orange and pink, mixing together into a beautiful painting. Behind it trailed navy blue and black, white dots of stars starting to appear. Azura sighed. No action for tonight. Retreating back into the castle, she bumped into Levi. She looked as if she just saw a zombie. Or bell peppers. "What is it?" She said. Levi was actually three ranks below the girl, even though she was younger. Levi shook her head.

"Nothing, Sir." She ran away with that. Azura shrugged. Then she heard voices. Walking around, she sees a girl, Sophie.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

[Reisy Magus]


"Just what the hell is going on?"



Reisy was confused by the sudden change of events. How did this went from a fight that should be something normal on his career to the target suddenly showing signs of pain, probably mental? More important, why did the weather changed like this? No mere human should be capable of doing such a thing, specially on such a large scale. Indeed, is it really a human causing all of this? or is it something else?



Reisy was scared. He trained himself to fight against powerful creatures and he knew very well he was stronger than the average peon, but whatever is causing this is probably above Reisy's level. More important, the risk of a surprise attack in the current conditions is high, specially because his field of vision was extremely limited right now.



Reisy took a while to notice the man he was fighting against just a while ago had got up. This error could have costed Reisy his life. He must not stop paying attention to potential enemies in the future. The present is more important than the future, however. Just what is going to happen now? all Reisy can do is stare back at the man in front of him. Nothing more, nothing less.

Poppy smirked to herself at the knight's overreaction. Just a stupid mortal girl, after all. They can fight sometimes, but they were still tiny, easily addled things that could be distracted by something beautiful or fluffy. Then there was the offer... tempting, but these knights didn't look as though they were rich, so might as well do the smart thing. "I'm afraid I'll have to pass you up. I've got my own methods for keeping safe. Be seeing you." She ever so cheerfully waved as she nudged herself with her foot towards a nearby group of trees.

~*~*~*~

"Ahh.. I se- Oh dear." The woman looked up with a frown, tail swishing. "I think I saw a cave back my way, if you wanna come. Seems a bit safer than just banding up with those two." It didn't seem like he'd mind, since he was one of the few people that didn't go on the defensive over a woman with axes that towered over humans. Then something else occured to her. "Hey, is your bird friendly? Can I pet him?"

~*~*~*~

"... Fine. I'm fine." She looked less pained, and was straightening up. She still looked ill and about read to flop over. "I'm better now than I was." She'd pressed back into a corner, watching the elf warily, though at the same time she was almost relieved. She didn't know what this person was like, but at least the redhead wasn't going to pop up while he was here.

[Aelthain]
Aelthain waved back at Poppy as he watched her go towards the group of trees before he directed his attention at the clouds again, wondering where he should go to if he wanted to see it all at a closer range than he had before.

[Theios]

He looked at her like he didn't really believe her - and that was the truth too. She didn't look very healthy at all, despite her claims.
It was then that he picked up on it. It was probably not the cause of her seeming unhealthiness - hopefully not - but it was bound to be a factor.
He'd been too busy on the visual level to notice what was going on as a druid.

She was, quite frankly, obviously involved with demons.
Any existing thoughts he'd had on being nice and human about stuff went out of the window, instead replaced with curiosity and his generally blunt self.

"So, where do you keep your demon? Unless he's out and about.. Where is he now?"

"A cave? Lady, caves cut down on visibility, something which is very precious for survival. Not to mention that there's too many walls, and too many chances to run into dead ends if something -- God forbid -- chases us in there. I know about your kind and all that, being accustomed to caves and whatnot, but the openness here provides more of an advantage. Sure, this means that the enemy can come at us from more angles, but this means you can also move along more angles and not get trapped against a wall. Besides, those two seem pretty strong, so it would be a much safer bet making sure we're tagged up with them if something huge is coming this way."

He paused for a moment.

"And yes, Fayez is a friendly little bugger, quiet for a parrot but very friendly. Unfortunately, I have him stowed away in case this gets ugly."

I JUST SAW THE ANNOUNCEMENT I'M SORRY

[Cyril]

He wanted to intervene the fight, but... somehow, he felt it wasn't his place. All he could do was watch. Then suddenly, he was spoken to. Cyril had hardly noticed her approach.

"Excuse me, sir. Would you like to have your fortune told?"

He looked at the woman raising her crystal ball and blinked. It wasn't often that he was approached, because people found him intimidating. Still, since she appeared to be a fortune teller, he wasn't all that surprised. He waved his hand at her as if to brush her off, then looked back to the two who had been fighting.

"No, thank you."

He hadn't meant to act so rudely about it. It was almost a natural habit. Something he was so used to doing. He immediately felt bad about it, and turned back to the woman. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to blow you off like that. it's just that, it looks like I'm going to be busy soon."

He had noticed the sky darkening. The clouds were gathering and then clearing, oddly enough, and he knew what was coming. As soon as the darkening sky began to colour a deadly looking shade of crimson and violet, he knew exactly what it was. All right, first... don't panick.

"Actually, ma'am. Why not. We should head into the castle. We'll be safe if there. I'll walk you." He quickly looked around at the people outside and called out. "If anyone can hear me, quickly gather inside the barracks or get inside somewhere safe. I'll take all the blame for the people inside where they're not supposed to be, but it's not safe here!" He sounded almost desperate. He didn't wanted to fight them, but he knew he might have to. The thought actually terrified the young Knight. He had seen people fall to the attacks. People that he knew. Last time The Watchers had attacked, he was killing his own people. They played with your head and your emotions. It was worse than a bad dream.

-`-`-`-`-`-`
[Alya]

This was it. Alya knew this moment. She looked up to the sky in awe, all the changes in the weather and the swirling colours. She smirked a bit. She always loved being right in the middle of it. Seeing people attack each other and the world looking so currupted just plain excited her. At this point, the sky itself almost looked like it was falling. Literally. Malus nestled himself close to her and watched from the corner of his eyes as people started to change. They turned into monsters. Not literally, but the "weak minded" were suddenly acting... different. He readily prepared himself, and Alya brought her rod up, ready to either worship or fight. She didn't care which.

_________________

{Tiara}
"No, thank you."

This made her twitch a bit. The apology that came afterwards made Tiara feel a bit better, but still. This can either go two ways for her:

a) She will get incredulously pissed, begin barking out names to this rude and lonely looking man until she left in a huff leaving him humiliated

b) She can make her breasts seem more...desirable by fixing her top and ask more politely, perhaps making it free.

Fortunately for the knight, something else caught her attention; the sky. It grew dark and cloudy. Not the kind that you see with storms either. There was gravity in these clouds. Almost crushing power coming from this ominous spell in the wind.

'They're here...' she whispered under her breath.

"Actually, ma'am. Why not. We should head into the castle. We'll be safe in there. I'll walk you." The knight said as he directed other people to try and get into safe places in the barracks. After a little realization of what was happening, the townspeople started to flee to the instructed area.
Holy crap. Did she just get a ticket into the castle? Did she just get the perfect chance to get some good info on the watchers from MANY other knights and maybe even a royal? Did she just get a chance to see what the watchers can do?
This was too good to be true. She was sure there was a holiday people used to describe moments like this, and she wishes she celebrated that holiday. Not to mention; this guy is technically asking her on a date. He was cute, a bit too nice, but his face was cute. Something to look at at the very least.
'Thank you very much my sir knight. I'm am grateful.' She said as she stayed behind him, waiting for her to be walked into the castle by her 'Knight in Shining Armor'.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

{Jayven}
There was a commotion. He could tell. A knight started saying something about getting to safety. It looked like maybe the watchers were coming. He wasn't sure what they were, but Jayven didn't want to be stuck looking one face to face if they managed to waste villages whole.
Not to mention, he got a free pass into the place closest to the knights area. He knows he will find the pact user there. He wasn't too sure what he would do, but he knows that when he gets the chance, he would strike. And he would kill.
He ran past the helpful knight, rubbing his cut a bit.
'Thanks.' He managed to say to him as he continued by. He didn't want to admit it to himself, but that knight was somewhat tolerable. It infuriated him that he was grateful to one of these men.
