He nodded his head softly in response to his question, looking down with a frown. "Yes...I think...I think I'm just afraid for what is to come...It's a lot of responsibility that has been placed on us..." He said softly, wringing his hands nervously at the thought. "I mean...the fate of the world is depending on us..." He said softly with a frown, looking to him once more. The stress of it all was visible in his face, but he let out a soft sigh. "I guess though there's nothing we can do about it, we will just have to take each day as it comes. I just hope that when the times comes to...fulfill this prophecy, that we are up to the task..." He said grimly, leaning his head against the wall quietly, definitely seeming disturbed by all of this. He did however feel some comfort in knowing that he wasn't doing this alone, at least there were others, even if he didnt know them well.

“I understand how overwhelming this must feel,” Sebastian began gently, placing a reassuring hand on his shoulder before quickly pulling away and continuing. “The weight of responsibility can be incredibly daunting, especially when so much is at stake. It’s natural to feel anxious about the future and the challenges ahead. I mean hell, I certainly do. I take some comfort in knowing we aren't alone in this though." He paused realizing how much he sounded like something out of an inspirational quote book. He chuckled lowly to himself, or rather at himself. He looked over at Ellisar not knowing how to continue so he resorted to picking at his nails.

He nodded his head as he listened to his words, seeming to agree with them, feeling somewhat comforted by them at least. He thought for a moment and decided to steer the conversation away from their quest, after all, worrying about it wasn't going to do them any good. A small smirk sprang to his lips as he thought of what he wanted to say next. He pushed his elbow out, gently nudging Sebastian with it before he started to speak. "What do you think of Theodis?" He teased, referencing the encounter he had with the soldier earlier, remembering their little confrontation. "He's a fiery one, isn't he?" He asked quietly, glancing towards the sleeping soldier, remembering how worked up he had gotten when Sebastian had bumped into him.

At the feel of the nudge Sebastian had brought his attention back to Ellisar. He grimaced at the thought and spoke softly while glancing at Theodis, "Yes he certainly is. I worry his temper may serve as a problem but I don't want to judge too harshly. Everyone has their own reasons for everything right? Not only that but fiery-ness can come in handy in some situations..." He tried to be hopeful but after their last encounter he felt wary of the soldier and would steer clear for now. "I do think his reaction to me bumping into him was unwarranted... It was an honest mistake but I think once he noticed that he chilled out a bit but still very unwarranted." He paused before continuing. "How do you feel about the fairy, Solaris? I feel like he may know things we don't about this all. But that could be me speaking out of a bit of spite from being burned by the being. Though I do believe it was a mistake." He chuckled softly to himself.

He nodded in agreement as he listened to Sebastian speak, taking in his words before he spoke. "Yes, it definitely seemed unwarranted, but who knows, maybe he will calm down the longer we are together. We are all on edge, we haven't had restful sleep, we are in an abandoned temple. Who know, maybe you startled him." He reasoned, trying to give Theodis the benefit of the doubt. "Either way, I definitely won't be crossing him anytime soon." He said with a nervous chuckle, knowing that Theodis could kill him easily. Ellisar was more of a lover, not a fighter. "As for the Fairy....I'm not really sure what to think of him...It sounds mean to say, but I've never trusted fairies much, and something about him...It just seems like he knows more than he is letting on. He didn't even seem that surprised by that goddess appearing in front of us." He pointed out, picking at a loose thread on his blanket as he thought. "No only that, but...isn't it a bit, I don't know, nerve-racking to have a magical being among us and not know what he is capable of? Especially when it seems that his powers are exactly you and your sister's weakness?" He mentioned, not wanting to make an accusation, just pointing out that if the fairy turned on them for some reason, he could possibly kill them all with ease.

"Yes it is very nerve-racking, I keep trying to stay as far as possible from him. I don't trust him but thats not really saying much I don't think anyone trust anyone yet..." he sighed and rested his head in a hand. "I worry that if Solaris were to be upset with me or my sister he would simply 'poof' us out of existence. To be fair he doesn't seem the type but its just a constant nagging feeling." He glances at Ellisar. "So who's your least favorite so far?" He quirked a small smile. "Be honest, no hard feelings over here."

He chuckled softly at the question and looked around the room, scratching his head in thought. "Hm...well..." He hummed thoughtfully, his eyes landing on Theodis. "I would have to say...Theodis. Something about his aura just makes me wary, he has a...hot energy." He explained, deciding the word hot was the best way to describe it. "Not only that, but his people and mine have never really gotten along." He said softly, not giving much explanations to this. "But I don't necessarily dislike anyone here, not yet at least." He grinned softly and looked over at him. "I like you so far." He said with a soft chuckle. "Then again, I think you're the only one I've really talked to so far."

Sebastian smiled, nodding slightly as he listened. "I get that," he said, glancing over at Theodis. "There's definitely something...intense about him. I can see why you'd be cautious." His gaze returned to Ellisar, curious about the history he hinted at as there was nothing about that in the books he had read about Cuthos. "As for not disliking anyone yet, that’s always a good start," he teased lightly. "But hey, I'm glad I made a good impression so far. Hopefully, it stays that way." Sebastian added with a grin his sharp teeth showing. "I like you too, to be fair you’re also the only one I’ve talked to besides my sister but she doesn’t count. I guess we'll have to see how things unfold.”

His gaze returned to Ellisar, curiosity flickering in his eyes at the mention of their people's history. He had never seen any mention of history between the Cuthos people in the books he has read.
"As for not disliking anyone yet, that’s always a good start," he added with a light tease. "But hey, I’m glad I made a good impression so far. Hopefully, it stays that way." A grin tugged at his lips. "I like to too but same as you I haven’t spoken to anyone other than you and my sister but she doesn’t count. I guess we’ll have to see how things unfold."

He nodded his head with a smile and let out a soft yawn, starting to feel sleepy again. "Well, I guess I should try to sleep. We have a lot of travelling ahead of us, even on the wing it will take several days for us to reach Mount Dorvista." He said, slowly standing now and giving a deep stretch. "Goodnight Sebastian, I wish you peaceful sleep." He said sweetly, giving Nyx a scratch on the head before making his way back towards his bedroll. He laid back down on it, wrapping himself up in his blanket and closing his eyes in an attempt to drift back off to sleep. His mind was busy, so it was difficult, but eventually his face relaxed and his breathing slowed as he drifted into slumber once more.

Sebastian nodded and told Ellisar goodnight and also wished him peaceful sleep. He thought about how their travels would go and hoped they would be okay. He knew realistically there would be trouble but hoped it would things they could easily handle. Before he worried himself to death he pet Nyx for comfort and slept. He slept peacefully the rest of the ‘night’.

The group would sleep through the day, and once night fell, Theodis was ready to go. He clapped his hands a couple times to wake up everyone that was still asleep. "Alright, the sun has gone down. Everyone pack up and let's meet outside." He commanded and turned, leaving the temple while everyone woke up. He began to pack his things onto Ithorris in silence.

Ellisar yawned and groaned as he sat up, rubbing his eyes as he woke from his deep slumber, roused by Theodis. He huffed softly at the rude awakening but slowly got up and began to pack.

Sebastian groaned at the loud clapping as it rung in his ears. He slowly got up and packed his and Isolde’s stuff on Nyx. She was being as playful as a puppy and Sebastian understood her excitement but could hardly keep up with her. He looked over to his sister and chuckled. Her hair had been thrown around in her sleep and was a messy mop on her head now. She glared at him, “What are you laughing at right now?” He pointed to her head and told her to go look in the moon pool. Once she did she gasped and threw a bit of the water at him in response. “Don’t make fun of my hair, you know it’s my best trait,” she flicked her hair and combed it out. Sebastian rolled his eyes and walked outside with Nyx following behind him. (I am adding some pictures on the doc as to what Nyx would look like with her gear on)

Ellisar could help but giggle at the interaction between the two siblings, finding it pretty funny. "I think it looks beautiful, messy or not." The elf said playfully as he rolled up his bedroll and tied it shut tightly. He slipped off his night clothes and slipped into his day clothes and continued to pack all the rest of his gear into bags. He felt his stomach rumble, he wondered if Theodis intended to start their day without having anything to eat. This wouldn't do for him, as an elf he had a fast metabolism and enjoyed his many meals a day.

Theodis was outside, packing making sure that the saddle on Ithorris was secure and that all that all the saddle bags were closed and such. He glanced at Sebastian quietly as he watched him leave the temple with his wolf following behind him. He didn't know what to think of all these people, he had never met a vampire or fairy before, and already knew he wouldn't get along with the Lower scum. He told himself to focus on the mission, that's what was important right now. He wasn't here to make friends, he was here to save the world so that he could hurry back home.

Solaris was sitting on the temple, swinging his feet boredly as he watched everyone slowly starting to emerge. He had been awake for some time, waiting on them. He knew no one liked him yet, but that was alright. He was used to that as a fairy. He hadn't decided yet if he cared to make friends with them or not, after all, he figured at least the human would probably die. He hummed to himself as he thought this over.
(Also uuuuum? I just saw your post about the mod message and what?! XD I dont know what that means at all, maybe message back for clarification? idk :/ )

Isolde thanked Ellisar for the compliment with a wide grin and followed her brother making remarks like, “See Ellisar thinks my hair is pretty no matter what.” And “Why aren’t you as nice as him?” He ignored her with a playful eye roll and stretched once he was out in the open. Normally he would do a run through the forest neighboring his house but he wouldn’t be able to do that today.
He seen Theodis glance at him with distrust, he understood the man’s behavior to a certain extent. He was then quick to realize he would have to ride on one of the dragons. Among his powers he did not have the ability to fly unfortunately and neither did his sister. He hoped Ellisar would let him ride with him, there was way too much tension for him to ride with Theodis. His thoughts were filled with riding arrangements and how Nyx would be carried as well.
He supposed one of the dragons could carry her but went to ask Ellisar what he thought. Before he spoke he noticed the man had looked a bit famished and titled his head. “Do you need food? I don’t necessarily have any on my person but I can always take a quick trip around the forest and look for some fruit or nuts of some sort?”
(I messaged asking for a bit more clarification and hope I fixed it now cause I would hate to lose all that)
