the break of morning commenced, and the sun envelloped the Forest and grass around the camp. Most men were still asleep, even Lyre and Lethe still remained asleep. Not for long though, as the sun struck its light into their faces they slowly opened their eyes.

"Its morning..."
"I know... they will wake up soon." lyre looked around, worry on her face. How would the men react on them, they obviously were witches, and they might figure out about the spiked food.
They remained on their places, searching for their 'guard' that was keeping them from fleeing. Even though he had disapeared for quite a while.

Inu was staring at the sunset still keeping an eye on everything "I should give mistress some extra time to rest she has had a tough few days." Inu flashed from the tree back to the two who just woke up "Good morning"He smiled and made a gracefull landing. "It seems as though you rested well, you should prepare for the journey ahead we will be heading for East as soon as the others awaken from their sleep" Inu grabbed some bread and ate it throwing others on the fire that he had kept burning. "This seems safe" Inu threw a few loafs towards the witches.

"We have no need for your pity." Lyre said, but picked up the food anyway. "anwth your phake shmile ephen leph." She spoke while chewing.
"Miss, um, booby-lady?" lethe had picked up her sisters nickname for lycan. "If you say east you surely mean eastern Witchhunter Headquaters. In that case we are prisoners, wouldn't you have to chain us down or put us in a cage?" Lethe asked, lyre began caughing up her food.
They looked intently at Inu/lycan.

"GAAAAH, how much purcent did dat stuff ha-a-a-a-ve~ Me head be spinnin." shady whined while woke up. he walked through the camp, kicking everyone as he walked past.
"Wak'up, who 'n drink that much can too walk dat much drunk. getya lazey ass's up." he walked past Lyre and Lethe.
"Goodmornin ladies." he walked on then suddenly stopped, looking at the young witches, then at lycan/Inu.
"Can ye explain me wut deese two be doin here?" he asked in suspicious tone.

Inu saw the workers wake up and starting to move around "Well let's just say these two are some aquintances they will be traveling with us till east. Just see it as some extra protection" Inu smiled and turned to the two talking quitely so only the two could here. "Not prisoners, its just....how you say a sort of protective feeling. To keep you save till a better situation arises, and i do not beleive in chains. Why would i, i love a good hunt" Inu put on a shady smile and turned around, "it seems Mistress is ready"
A bright crimson aura and her eyes turned red again *YAWN* "That wash a nice nap"

"I am not too fond've takin two witch's wit me, but if dey're under ya surveillance, fine. AND YOU LAZY BUMS GO PACK TOGETHA YA STUFF!" the last part was directed at the workers.

While the camping ground was being stored away into backpacks again with lots of groans and sleepy faces, lethe and lyre tried their best to keep as much distance between them and the crowd as possible. Lyre was forced to be around lycan, since lethe had somehow decided rather being around a girl than several grown up men. At some point lethe raised her voice.

"Um... miss booby lady? Why are you switching your behavior so often?" she asked innocently. Lyre disapproved of going into any kind of contact with Lycan.
"Its her play, get used to it." lyre murmured.

[/std end]

[Crimson Moon]

The workers started packig up and it seemed the two witches where staying close to lycan "Do i knows you two?" Lycan stared at the two these are going with us mistress
"If you say so Inu" she smiled and turned to the workers that started moving again do not let them get away though
"Fine" Lycan opened her dimensional hole and a scarf fell out it moved on its own it seemed. It curled around her arm and moved to her neck and it wrapped around it a few times. "LETSH GO" she followed the workers and made certain the witches also followed.

"Woah, a metal bender? She can do magic too!" Lethe was Rather amazed.
"you can bend metal by heating it, nothing special." Lyre pouted. "And you stop pretending you just had a change of mind, i won't buy that from you."
They moved along nevertheless - from that threat Inu had posed earlier lyre was convinced that just running away wouldnt work out, they would have to wait for a good chance.

The train of people moved on, thanks to Shady's 'efforts' the whole lot moved rather fast, despite quite a lot of moaning and whining. ("for every slightest hint of resting each of you get 100 slaps with whatever i get my hands on!")
It was a just a few kilometers away from the eastern Headquaters that they made their first rest, especialy since lyre and Lethe were fully outpowered - shady didn't realy say much as they suddenly fell to their knees and collapsed, but was nice enough to allow everyone a little rest.
It was around a small village - not realy mentionable on a map - they took their luggage along with them to the market place.
Some of the villagers supplied them with a share of food and drinks (the wine had been abolished earlier.) It was then that a woman with a big strawhat and in a long white dress came up to lycan, her golden hair was waving in the wind as she approached, smiling gently.

"Excuse me? You look very much alike to a Witchhunter, may i ask where you are heading with this group? You must know, i am besearching a central even though i'm not entirely acquired to where they are positioned. I have something that lies in conection with witches, if your group where to have such a place as their destination, would you mind taking me with you?" the woman acted very gentle and friendly, but was obviously not from the village. Her presence was Rather unusual, but she neither had traces of Mana on her, neither was her image itself in any kind of misfitting.

they had jus moved out and Lycan turned around "Inu says i hash to keep an eye on you" She looked at the two girls "So i wash wondering where'd ya come from from" As she said that a figure appeared, the figure asked if she could come with them. "Hmm i don know if that's a good idea, Inu said to protect those guysh."She pointed at the gaurds "Well you can follow but when we get attacked you defend yourself" As Lycan judged her as weak she opened her dimensional hole and a cude of metal fell out, she grabbed it with one hand. Like drawing a sword from her hand she made a sword. "Here jusht in case"She grinned and started moving again.

The lady bowed before lycan. she held the sword lycan made akwardly in her hand, trying to hold it stable.
"I am gracious, though i must admit that the sword is not something i am acquainted with." she put the sword with the tip on the ground. It was then that she had noticed lyre and Lethe in the crowd of workers.

"oh my, two girls following such a group? I must truly wonder about this matter, as they seem barely of age to travel along at such risky times." the woman bend down to the two girls. "how are you my dears?"
While lethe nodded while hiding behind her sister, Lyre just stared at the woman.

"I don't know you, you have no right to answer us question, just like she has no right to keep us from going where we want." Lyre suddenly bursted out, making the lady look at them surprised.
"What confusing story, but never to mind that." the lady answered and descendet towards Shady, who was suddenly trying to be a gentleman.

"hey lethe..."
"yes sister?"
"This woman smells like grass."
"its the countrysidem isn't that normal?"
"I know... i just wanted to mention it..."

The group slowly packed up their stuff and took off.

"Inu said to take them with me sho im doing that"She explained to the lady, however she probly wouldn't know who inu was. "And that one sheem to be grumpy" She pointed at Lyre. They where still moving and Lycan wondered how long it would take to reach East it shouldn't be more then like a kilometer away. The train station would be the only way to enter or maybe there was a special entrance. Anyway Lycan was moving along and getting kinda bored, she noticed Lethe who had been very shy. A smirk was on Lycan's face, one end of her scarf grew and in one quike movement twisted around Lethe and pulled her in the air. The scarf bended back and put Lethe on Lycan's shoulder. "You'll have a better view"She grinned and with one push she jumped a couple of meters in the air to loosen Lethe up abit.

[Areos]

[STD]

Lethe had turned beet red, she was like a stature after lycan had grabbed her and jumped with her into the air. Lyre was ... she was somewhat at loss of words or actions.
Up to the highest point the younger sister had not moved an inch, but as it suddenly went down again she let off a screech and grabbed tightly onto lycan's head. A few of the men snickered as they saw the poor girl being teased by lycan in some way or the other.


"l-let her down, she doesn't like that." Lyre had grabbed lycan by her waist as she had returned to the ground.
"I saw a big bubble way over there..." Lethe whispered. She was still shaking slightly.
"Ya should let that poor gal down." a worker said, walking up to lycan. "she realy looks frightened."

From Farther away the blonde rearanged her hat, she had watched lycans jump and feared for the girls safety for a moment. She had however restrained herself from doing anything, continuing to talk to the leader of the group, Shady.


[/End]

[Crimson Moon]

"Alrighty" She grinned and put the two witch on the ground. "Just have a little fun shome times"She grinned and walked forward but she had grabbed Lethe's hand and dragged her along. "Now ash you shaw Kiddy the dome like thingy? it sheems ash the have lifted the HQ up for repairs" That solves the 'How to get in' dilema

Lycan was walking hapely, yet she had felt the uneasiness the woman had, after Lycan had jumped, She decided to keep an eye on her.

[Areos]

[STD]

The builder stared after lycan, so did Lyre who was turning red from anger - lycan was fooling around with her sister.
"That gal realy is a jumpy one. Ya should go 'n follow ya sister, girly." the builder comented. He pattet her head, which made Lyre jump, instead of complaining however she decided to follow up lycan.

Shady who had caught up lycans words started to explain to her how the Headquaters had been lifter above the water surface and would be reinstalled later. The explanation took the whole way to the destinationpoint.
from the big bubble in the middle a wooden path had ben made across the water, it wasnt thick, only around 2-3 meters in width. Shady walked right on it, most of the builders joined right up. The guy who had spoken to lycan earlier appeared next to her again.

"It's safe, don worry, we can see 't when sumthins done properly.You two aswell, 'n dont be scared, those Witchhunter peoplesare nice fellas usualy." he gave lyre a little push forwards. the lady with her strawhat eyed the four of them suspiciously, as if she was disapproving of the whole action taking place. Lethe who was clinging to her sister,pulled lycan right along with her.


[/End]

[Crimson Moon]

As Lycan managed to get everyone on the platform, she turned to shady "Alrighty then, so now what? do i need to follow you till the reception or do i get a paper?" She stared at him, then she turned to the two witches as she still waited for the answer of Shady. Can you tell them something from me mistress
"OWKE~, Inu shays he brought you guys here so you can make a choice. One: You stay here at east, if ya help with rebuilding and with a word from me they'll take good care of you OR two: you turn back into the wild and try to survive on your own. I don mind either but Inu wanted to give ya a choice" She grinned and waited for their response

"wait, what do you mena with that boobielady?" Lyre asked in confusion. The offer hit her in the wrong foot, but Lethe aswell looked at lycan in surprise.
"Wait, does that mean you are putting up a trap for us, or are you for real?" Lyre asked.
"Thank you miss boobylady, and thank you too mister Inu." Lethe bowed before lycan.
"Hey, wait, um..." Lyre began, as a cute laughing arose.

"fufufufu~" the soldier next to lycan began, it was a womanly laugh and sounded pretty much off to what he should be laughing like. then he began speaking, free of any accent.
"You are a remarkeable person, young lady. It would have cost you reputation among witchhunters to just integrate two witches or let them roam free as they wish. This is realy unusual."
The man grabbed behind himself, getting out a small flask and drinking it in one go, and within a few seconds the well-build man turned into a beatiful woman with long blue hair. She looked a little off in the long baggy clothes of the worker. She had also shrunken a few cm's and was about half a head bigger than lycan. The two girls stared at the woman.

"I excuse this little mascerade, but it originally intended of freeing those two girls. That 'woman' over there was supposed to be a distraction i set up, he actually is that person whom i had represented moments ago. As for your offer to those two girls, i'd like to take care of them myself, i... know the two of them, I aswell worked for the same Witch."

"Master, Hama... what are you doing here?" Lyre was in Awe, she suddenly behaved akwardly friendly. Lethe aswell looked towards her. "W-Why did you flee from Master Lavenga?"
"Because she's a slavedriver and murderer. I still wonder how you could think she picked you two up because she wanted to save you, she was the one to destroy the village after all. And by the way, i should scold you for just stealing my stuff off my desk, those were dangerous chemicals." she rose her right arm to the air.

The two sisters guarded themselfs with raising their arms in x-position, but all that happened was that on each of their heads a hand had gently fell down upon.
"At least your escape gave me reason and determination to get away from that place. There is just one thing that remains, your answer."

there wasn't realy a pause, as Lethe had just pounced at Lady Hama and hugged her. Lyre turned towards lycan, gave a nod and then joined her sister.
"good i see." Hama smiled. "Miss lycan, I have to leave now, i'm taking cover at a colleagues place, a famouse Shaman and Alchemist, but i foresee that we will meet again some time. When that time comes i will repay you for what you've done for sure. thank you." she bowed.


".... Um, sorry to butt in or sumthin, but here's ya pay, misses 300 kyi right on the hand." pressed the money into lycans hand. "Nice doin buisness with ya. And now ta ya misses, is dat girl dere realy my worker?"
Mis Hama began giggling again, with the voice and appearance it seemed far better than before, she took out another flask and handed it to Shadey before turning away still giggling, the girls followed right after.

the scene of forcing the woman to drink the flask, and the follow up laughing fit of the whole group as the grown up man was standing there in full girl garment went over the whole lake.

[Crimson Moon]

Lycan watched as the girls left with the mysterious Hama-person, Shady came and gave her the money for the mission "I gets mony for this?" She threw it in her dimensional hole while muttering to herself about useless low-grade metal. As it seemed the mission was over and she had yet again gained a possible favor, she decided to go and see about the Fenrir guy.

While waving to the workers Lycan walked into the newly build Reception hall. Though it was not even a little ready, only a wooden frame covered the insides. A small mahogeny desk was placed in the middle of the hall and as workers passed around the desk she noticed a person sitting at the desk. She was small and strict looking a woman that would snap at the slightest of ill-mannerism. Lycan flashed up to the desk, the woman didn't seem suprised "Lycan ish looking for a mishter"
"Take a number" the woman pointed at a strange device that seemed to dispend numbers
Lycan walked up to it and took a number *Click* "Hehe" She took another one *Click* "WHAHAHAHAHA" She kept pulling till the thing exploded and numbers twirled down. Lycan went back to the desk with all the numbers "I hash number" she grinned
a small twitch could be seen on the womans face "T-Thank you, now what is it you want to know"
"Mister Fenrir person"
"Mister Fenrir? we have no person with that name in our records"
"No he keepsh saying that, Fenrir" She seemed to look stuff up n a computer and then handed a paper over to Lycan
"Here it is now please go and leave" She seemed irritated for some reason
Lycan walked away with a discription to the temporary hospital.
