" odd place" Fate states as she continues to fallow the group infront of her...keeping to the back of the group her mind begins to wander over her surroundings and those within in...ranging from the boy with odd blue hair to Hara, who seems to have a bit of a clean freak streak if one where to ask her. Her eyes then wander to the tall priestess with a strangely calm attitude.
Looking over the group she lets out a sigh*
" we are so screwed"

Kiro sighed. It is one thing to try to comfort him, but he did not appreciate being told about his Goddess' intentions by someone who did not 'believe' in her as she said. However, he knew she had no ill intentions and chose to remain silent on the matter.
"I am going to find Nikki," he said and walked away.
Nikki, in the meantime, arrived back at her little cabin. She frowned when she saw her stuff sitting outside of the door. The most they could have done was throw them in the garden to feed the plants.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
She seemed to have guests.
Throwing open the door, she looked around to see who was there. Hara, Jace, and the new girl...Kiro was not there. She groaned.
"Hello everyone!" A chipper voice perked up behind her and a blond teenager poked his face out from behind Nikki's side.
There was a very tall man behind her as well. Nikki was already very tall, standing at almost six feet, so this man was extremely tall. Compared to the short blond boy, there seemed to be almost a whole foot between them.
"Wow, there's three of you! We'll be able to save the old lady for sure!"
"Shut up." Nikki sighed and brought them into the cabin, "Where's Kiro?"
"I am going to find Nikki," he said and walked away.

Jace yawned longly while turnig on his back, opening an eye to see who owned this annoying voice.
"Ngah..? Oh, the cat's back..."
He raised slowly and walked outside, pushig the newcomer aside. The mage then snapped his fingers and a sudden 'splash' was to hear as he created himself a shower. As soon as the cloud disapeared Jace shook himself off, throwing countless drops of water on Nikki and her guests, before going back in.
"Dunno, 'was asleep... He said something about a temple.."
As he talked he was trying to comb his air but gave up almost immediatly "Erf, it'll dry off.."
He sat on his bag and closed his eyes.

" Rude." Hara huffed about Jace and decided to give Nikki a proper answer,
" He didn't really say. But I do think Adalwofla is with him. Maybe..." So much for a proper answer... Not like Hara could have given a better answer though. He shrugged and continued to sweep, less frantically now that the owner of the cabin had arrived.
(( I love my son omg ))

A little distance away, a man had just awoken in an unknown place. All he could tell for the moment was that he was among the trees and disoriented. This looked nothing like his current home. Just where was he?
Sitting up, the man shook his head and attempted to climb to his feet. "Ugh, my head...."He mumbled, pressing a hand to the side of his head. Had he had too much wine the night before? No, he didn't remember having that much. Maybe a glass or two but that wasn't nearly enough to intoxicate him.
Hearing the bustle of a town from nearby, the man decided it best to try to head there and figure out just what was going on. If this was one of his father's little traps, he had to be careful. Pushing long black strands of hair from his face, the man made his way to the town, intent on discovering just where he was and how he arrived there.

Nikki scowled. The tall man didn't seem too pleased either, but the blond laughed as he was sprayed with water.
"Why would he go to the temple? But the priestess is with him so he wouldn't dare..." she figured he was at the ceremony grounds.
She wandered to the bed relaxed, "We'll just have to wait for him here."
Seeing Nikki motion them to come inside, the two other men entered. The blond boy was grinning, "So cozy!"
The tall one nudged him and he seemed to have an epiphany, "Oh! OH! My name is Elliot! Elliot VanWulf! My Mama's the Shadow Guardian!"
"Guardian of the Swamp." The tall one corrected him, "The name's Kai Hebihara. I'm helping this'n out."
He gestured with his foot to Elliot, and then to Nikki, "We came here on our way to find the Prince and we ran into her. She said if we help you guys get that old lady out of the temple, then you'd all help the little one get his aunt back. That sound right?"
Kiro, on his way to the cabin, ran into something solid. The force was strong enough to knock him over, and he fell on his backside.
"Oh, I apologize," he said as he stood back up and brushed himself off, "I was not looking where I was walking. Are you okay?"
The stranger he'd bumped into had long black hair and tan skin, but his clothes weren't familiar at all.

Walking along towards town, the man finally made it. It seemed like a nice little place, but nothing like he had ever seen before. Was he still dreaming? Certainly his world didn't have anything like this.
While walking, he wasn't paying much attention. It wasn't long till there was a force that knocked him forward. He didn't fall, but someone else did. The person in front of him began to apologize to him.
The man shook his head. "No, don't apologize. I wasn't paying attention where I was going,"He explained. But hey! A person was here! Maybe they could help him? "I don't suppose you'd be able to tell me just exactly where I am?" It would probably sound like an odd question, but how else could he word it? 'Hey, I just woke up in the forest with no idea how I got there and this place looks nothing like my home so where the hell am I?'

Kiro tried not to sigh. Slowly, so as not to frighten him more than he knew he would be, he explained who he was, the situation, and what the man would have to do from here.
"It is quite a happy coincidence that we would run into each other here," Kiro laughed, clinging to his cape to try and cope with all of the sudden appearances and disappearances. Just what was the Goddess doing?
He shook his head, "I am sorry you had to get mixed up in all this. The others are waiting at a cabin by that large house over there, if you'd come with me."

Jace was snoozing with as much discretion as a sleeping bear, but once again there was a voice exchangethat woke him up.
"Owwh... What now ?.." he looked at the to silouette "gods, you came in too ? we need to open a tavern here, there's so many people we could be rich..."
he sighed and then turned toward the bed, thinking of going back to it, when he sees the body of the tigress laying there.
"Aaah !" he jumps in surprise and falls to the side. "When did she get here ?!"
The blue mage puts a hand to his chest and sighs again before raising up to his feet, shaking himself off a second time, but without showering the all place this time.
"And I suppose the prince isn't back yet ? *long sigh* I trully hope he had a good reason to let us wait here..."
Jace finally sits down, putting his bag on the table and playing with tiny icecubes.

" 'E didn't say that we had to stay in here. I just came to check Nikki's little 'ome out and you f'llowed." Hara turned to Jace to correct him briefly before turning to the group before him. " It's nice to make your aquaeintences. Kai, Elliot. I'm Hara, and this is Jahce." They motioned to the loud and boisterous mage at the table. God, he was dramatic.
" I guess just get comfy 'cause we have no oidea when that prince will be back."
(( Im gonna start putting apostrophes and letters to help emphasis and point out where his accent is at. ))

Soren himself held back a sigh as the person in front of him began to speak. This was quite a bit to take in all at once. One moment he had been back at home, and the next he was in this other world with the prince no less! Not that it was exactly something strange for his life. It was known to happen.
Sighing, Sorren nodded,"Please....lead the way then your highness." He didn't really know if this person was telling the truth, but he seemed honest enough. He'd just be careful around these others that were mentioned. If anything seemed off, he'd have to fight his way out. Not that he knew how to get home from here. Not if Kiro's tale was anything to go by. If all this turned out to be true, he'd have to do his best to help this prince so he could get home.

Kirio departure, the priestess felt that she may have hit a nerve on him. She sighs and says in her prayer "Please, my lord, may this child find peace" as she continues to pray, but curiosity was getting the best of her and so she decides to slowly get closer to the alter. Once only a few steps away, she prays and says "Lord Ramos, I pray to you and always to to you, so out of your gracious glow allow me to hear this Goddess so I may help the young prince" hoping her God would permit her to approach the altar. For a few moments, she smiles and approaches the alter of the Goddess and kneels and says in a prayer "Of Goddess of this land, please speak to me a herald of a God from a different land, so I may bring more comfort to the young prince and the group in general" as she looks down in her prayer as she kneels in front of the altar, hoping to hear the Goddess's voice
Kiro was glad that Soren believed him, and he brought him back to Nikki's cottage.
The door was already open when they arrived, but he remembered that he told the others they could wait there. He saw them when they entered, but he also saw two more strangers. They were definitely Oran though. Especially the serpant.
Nikki sighed but made no effort to sit up, "There you are. But that's not the priestess."
On Adalwolfa's side, as she had done since the day she had abandoned the world, Ora remained silent. Anyone in Oraclos could tell you it was foolish to try to communicate with her directly. She would NEVER answer. Not to mention this area was meant for ceremonies and not actual worship. The connection would be weaker. However, it was admirable to try.

Jace raises his eyes towards the prince and the ... newcomer ?
"Aaaaah, Fina...-"
He stopped and hhis expression darkens in disapointment
"-lly.... "
The blue-clothed mage facepalms and sighs at the same time.
"By the Sacred Mana, WHY is there another person here ?!"
He then looks at Nikki who seems to be as tired as he is with this whole situation, and goes back to Kiro, trying his best not to be rude this time. Jace take a long breath then opens his eyes and puts on his best merchant smile, while the icecubes in his hands start to crack.
"Say , your Majesty, you know ... If you, and our dear Nikolette, keeps bringing knew people every passing hour, , I won't be able to keep it together, you know ? It's already really hard for me to get your names right, if I have to learn a new one every time we get separated, I just going to ... "
He sighs longly, loosing his fake expression for a second, crushing the ice in his hands, and puts back on his patient smile.
"pfff... You know what fine, it's fine, everythings is fine, it's perfect, no need to panic... "
Jace get up, walk to the newest stranger, grabs firmly his hand and shakes it, almost freezing them, and speaks :
"Hello, I don't know you, I don't want to, and you're welcome to the clown house : BYE."
Realising he just embarassed himself even more, he opens the door wider and leaves, talking aloud his grumbling :
"I'll just take a break outside for ... some time, and if I find someone that doesn't drive me crazy in this town, then I'll bring them here. RAAAH !"
He slams the door shut and goes into the town.

Soren was about to reply to the woman who had said he wasn't the priestess when a young man came up to him and began to speak while shaking his hand rather hard. His hand was cold as ice but Soren wasn't letting that bother him. He pulled his hand away from the strange youth and watched as he left. Clown house. Well this certainly wasn't what he was expecting at all.
That must have been one of the others that had been summoned here as he had. This wouldn't be good if he had to work with that one. He seemed to have some issues that needed to be addressed. Soren turned his attention from him to the others in the room. There were a few of them, but they were apparently missing some.

Fate still felt estranged by the group of people around her. And now with the addition of the newcomer she felt even farther from the group. She decided to keep away from the majority and look up at the sky.
" a curios place this is" she mutters to herself wondering if perhaps the group had forgotten her.

The priestess continue to pray and pray, adjusting herself to express her faith to her God and the Goddess she wishes to commune with. From kneeling to prostrating for at least a whisper from the goddess. She can hear a little from people around her questioning in what she was doing and blowing her off as crazy, sense there prayers where never answered why would hers be answered and at that one of a different faith! For Adalwofla, she's experienced this before and in the way she interprets it, is that the God's and Goddess tend to test mortal faith by not answering, but with constant devotion they will answer eventually. So she was determine to at least hear the Goddess, even it may be just a single word...for her it would it prove that the Goddess of this Kingdom has not abandon the people.
She will continue to pray to the Goddess until someone from the group comes for her and if by that time nothing is heard, she vows to every shrine they pass to the goddess she will pray until she hears the voice.
Of course to the more secular ones in society, they would just see a crazy blind woman who suffers an acute case of schizophrenia on the floor next to a pseudo altar even though this place wasn't a place for worship.

" Ah... Alright -- um.. I guess I'll just head out for a bit as well." Hara sighed and headed for the door. Before he headed out, Hara stopped parallel to Soren and mentioned softly," It's noice to make your acquaintance." The man nodded and stepped out and closed the door gently.
Once outside away from the home, he put his hands on his hips and glanced around," Now where to look... I can't do this all the time... Comforting him or whatever..." Hara continued to mutter to himself while he walked. He took in all the sights, the town was very quaint.. Almost comfortingly so.. Soon enough, he came upon a small open space with statues and ivy and whatnot.. Cute.. Something else caught Hara's attention, forcing them to squint..
" Ada?" The man sauntered over and tilted his head," So this is where you've been? Everyone's back at Nikki's place kinda worried about you. You should come with me... I don't want you to be alone out here." He gazed about, suddenly getting an odd feeling about being out there.

Kiro had decided fully to just ignore Jace for awhile. He acknowledged him but said nothing as he walked out. Soon, Hara was gone as well. He told them to be back by sundown, though. When they were all gathered, they'd make full acquaintance.
"Well. Fate, Nikki, and new friends, this is Soren. Soren, this is Nikolette Tora. She is guiding us to our first destination. The girl over there, like you, has been brought here from another world." He smiled at the other two, "I have yet to make your acquaintances."
The blond one grinned, "I'm Elliot. My mama's the Shadow Guardian."
"Nice to meet you, Elliot. Alina is a very strong and loyal Guardian. I can only imagine..." Kiro frowned for only a moment before smiling, "I can only imagine she is doing just fine."
The tall one nodded, "I'm Kai Hebihara. We came because that'n said you could help us. We're lookin' to go to the Temple Umbrum. After we help you here."
"Yes, of course. Of course, we'll go there right away when we're done here."
Kai stared at him for a moment, looking like he wanted to say more, but he stayed quiet.

Soren gave a nod in greeting as he was introduced to the others. At least the one boy who had just left seemed to have some form of manners. Now to focus on the ones still here. He didn't know just what to make of any of them yet, but it seemed they had something else to do once they were done in this area. Soren still wasn't 100% on board with everything that was happening, but not knowing where he was and at least being around those that did know would be the best idea for the time being.
"So... What exactly is the plan from here?" He asked, wanting to see what they had done so far and what they planned to do now. They didn't seem to be prepared for much at the moment.
