"See this is what I'm afraid of..." she mumbled with a frightened face. She pulled out her short sword strapped to her back and held it firmly in both hands. She hesitantly looked to Sophie who nodded at her. Avalon gulped down her fears and put on a brave face as she heard the screeching approaching them. "I trust you," she replied to Sophie's nod. Her hand went up swiftly and Avalon blindly sliced through the air feeling the thud of the blade hitting an unseen target. She heard the squeal of the monkey and felt warm blood running down her blade. Avalon got chills running through her skin as she realized that Sophie was more powerful than she had thought.
Ace looks at the monkey fall behind Ava as it lay there dead barely being able to make out its appearance, its fur was jet black covering every inch of its body and the only way he could tell that was from the green glow coming from its teeth as it shined on its eyeless face just before the glow faded. Bring his head back in focuse Ace kept his eyes on Sophie as she turns pointing behind her giving Ace the OK to shoot as he took down a monkey, Sophie continues to point in almost every direction using on hand for Ace and the other for Ava giving them plenty of time to take them down before they strike.
After a couple of minutes of fighting Ace puts his bow around his chest once he was out of arrows and takes out his sword, the monkeys had stopped attacking for the time being but they were still screaming trying to get there attention almost as if they were confusing them "These monkeys aren't normal....why wont they just charge at us its like there trying to figure us out" he said glancing over at Ava.

"I don't know," she said eyeing the trees. Her bloodied sword rested in her hands naturally as she was now much less tense knowing that Sophie could help them. She looked down at the ground but saw nothing but darkness below her because of the pure blackness around them. The light was suffocated through the thick trees above them making her feel trapped. She sighed and turned to Sophie patting her back soothingly.
"For a kid you are pretty amazing," she chuckled trying to lighten the mood. Avalon turned back and resumed her defensive position in case they decided to attack them again.

Ace Smirked watching Ava pat Sophie on the head think she really needed to know her timing but soon after turned back as the screeching got louder and closer. Sophie had taken another deep breath immediately tugging on Aces shirt bring his attention to her showing him her hand opening and closing repeatedly, for a second Ace was confused then he thought back to there hand signals they taught each other and that one meant a lot of bad guys coming there way.
Aces looks around for anything seeing nothing but darkness and what little light creeping through the tress then he heard what sound like a river not to far, if it was one then that was definitely there way out. "Ava follow me" Ace said picking up Sophie he cuts down the monkeys blocking the path where the river sound was coming from with Ava by his side Ace looks back to the the dozens of glowing green teeth right on their tail. All Ace had was river sound to go on that was getting louder the closer they got, once the sound got the loudest it could get Ace saw a bright light into a clearing but no river which made him think the river was there but not they way he wanted it to be "Ava remember the last time you said if I don anything like jump of a cliff to tell you beforehand....well I'm telling you" he said grabbing her hand tight along with Sophie in his arms and leaping into a rushing river.

Avalon prepared herself and met the freezing water with wide eyes and immediate chills. Her hand reached out to grasp whatever she could but found only fistfuls of water. Her eyes opened slightly to still see the blackness surrounding them and grew terrified. She thought she might die in the river's current but found Ace's hand. She broke through the surface of the water spitting out the water she had practically inhaled when jumping in.
"What's your plan exactly?" Avalon asked trying to stay above water as her weapons were weighing her down. She kicked furiously with her legs to keep her face above the surface and tried to block out the screams of monkeys close by.

Ace held Sophie in his arms as he used all his strength to make sure her head stayed above water, the river was rough pushing them around as if they were rag dolls pulling them back and fourth. Hearing Ava Ace looks around to see a little cluster of rocks connected to the riverside he swims hard and fast in the hopes of catching it before they washed pass it, stretching his arm he grads one of the rocks pulling Sophie to it as she grabs a hold of it also. Ace looks around to find Ava as saw her about to pass by them he takes his sword off his belt and stretches it to her as she grabs it pulling herself Ace then to the rocks.
Sophie was the first to get out of the river Ace followed watching Ava pull herself out as well "Alright, that may have been a bad plan but when I I heard the river I thought monkeys....rivers....they don't go together" he said smiling at Ava hoping she wasn't pissed.

Avalon coughed and wrung out her hair as she steadily stood up on the ground. She gave him a small glare before checking to see if she had all of her knives. She sighed in relief when she counted them all and turned back to Ace. "Well at least the monies are gone," she said. "I hope," she added under her breath. She straightened herself up and put her arms across her chest. "Where to now Ace?" The impatient tone in her voice warned him that she wasn't happy about the swimming she just had to go through.
Ace sits Sophie down to see if she had been hurt from river she pushed his hand away with a annoyed look on her face hating when Ace babied her "You don't look hurt" he said smiling at Sophie, turning his head to see Ava Ace chuckles seeing her soaking wet "We just have to follow the river down a couple of miles then head north into the forest again". Looking up at the sky by the river side Ace could see the colors appearing in it meaning that the sun was setting and heading into forest would just be stupid and dangerous "Alright, I'm going to grab some wood near the forest start a fire one of the draw backs of not having our dragons around"
"You should probably throw on some fresh clothes unless you wan to catch a cold" Ace said walking towards Ava "And help Sophie out with hers please....you hate me right now but I know you lover her". Ace walks pass Ava down river to grab some wood.

Avalon angrily huffed and grabbed we leather bag off of her back. Because of the material, basically everything was dry and so she grabbed a new shirt and pants and ducked behind a tree to change. Sophie appeared out of no where in front of her startling Avalon slightly.
"Did you need help?" She asked. Sophie shook her head and grabbed a stick to write in the dirt. Avalon read it outloud. "Don't be mad at him, he's is doing his best?" Avalon sighed and rubbed her hands over her face. "Yea yea I know. I guess the nervous tension in me just all got poured out on him. Thanks Soph," she replied messing up her hair playfully. Sophie and Avalon returned to the clearing to find Ace with a pile of wood.
