There was no way out of the demon blight, Azrael was sure of it. There were too many and even if all humans worked together, they wouldn't achieve much. Both of their domains weren't free for the other to enter at will. Demons had certain rules to uphold and humans couldn't travel to their realm. In his mind running, hiding and defending would never stop them, but attacking them wasn't possible. They were doomed, there was nothing they could do, much as they couldn't stop the seasons or the sun.…

"Not all demons look like them and not all humans are saints. They are scared of people they don't know, not that a demon couldn't take the form of a loved one. That's why they rely on priests to identify them, but anyone can really..." He stopped himself. Fighting with Ignatius over religion was senseless. Azrael was angry the churches kept those spells and the knowledge how to achieve the same without it to themselves. Anyone could go out and find the right ingredients to make something that w…

"I believe it.", Azrael was quick to answer. Ignatius didn't seem to know a lot about anything but church affairs and even in that apartment h seemed lacking. He didn't know much about the monasteries or where exactly they were, he just followed his magic trick, not even god, it was just magic. Azrael didn't believe in gods, he only believed in what he saw and he was yet to meet someone like that. If there was any, they couldn't be that almighty, why else would their world look like this? Would …

"You didn't?", Azrael asked although he got his answer. "Well this is one smart horse then." He sighed a little. He didn't often ride horses himself, but he knew how to and how to care for one. "I'd teach it to you, but I suppose there is no time for that. Well, maybe we can make time for it on the way." Azrael could only walk so fast, if Ignatius wanted to test out how to control the horse and ride faster than walking tempo, he could. "Why is it you, who has never ridden a horse or walked so fa…

Azrael kept walking ahead, leading the horse and he was quick about it, there was no reason to take it slow, not when Ignatius was sitting on a horse. He didn't look back when Ignatius started talking again. "You can hold onto it for now." He wasn't going to betray him and he trusted him for now. Azrael wouldn't abandon him and he'd try his best to keep the priest save. He couldn't and wouldn't promise a save passage though, this was nothing anyone could guarantee. He looked up anyway when Ignat…

Azrael waited for quite some time and the guards did not grow tired of staring at him. He paid them no mind and looked in the direction of the forest they had come from. He still wondered if they'd been followed by any demons, if they picked up their scent and where they'd even go. He also questioned himself. There was no reason to help this priest, no reason to take on this dangerous task he knew neither the goal nor the purpose of and yet he was here waiting for him, seeing if he even still wa…

Azrael nodded. He didn't expect to get everything, but he rather asked about all the things he could think of and got a selection instead of being modest. It wasn't a demand, he asked for it as upfront payment or maybe payment fro bringing Ignatius at least here. They went out together still, there was no need not to. The inns dining room was totally empty and still dirty from the day before. This was definitely more of a night establishment than anything else. Outside the air was a tad bit cold…

Ignatius was quick on his feet an Azrael waited for him to wash up and finish his prayers. All the while he looked out the window, scanning all the people that walked along the dirt roads. The priests in particular he looked at and he felt a shiver run down his spine which he attributed to stupid memories from his childhood rather than an actual threat. He was so focused he only looked up when Ignatius asked him something, already standing by the door. "Given that a lot of money all at once won'…

Azrael hated the fact that he almost started to believe that this man meant what he preached, but it was not of much concern to him. "Not every member of the church has good intentions...", he simply commented. He knew, he knew very well and he wasn't fool enough to just trust them, only because they wore white clothes and humble faces. That was all he wanted to add. They both had much to say, but they needed to rest and they had a long journey ahead, they would have plenty of time to discuss an…

"Well as far as I know there aren't any other towns close enough to reach in a days travel by foot, not in your condition anyway. There is no point in exhausting you either, if we'd have to run, you'd not be able to and we don't want that, right? That means we have to travel at your pace, which isn't that fast. You could invest in a sleeping bag, I'm fine without and on some paths there are resting huts for the public to use, but they are somewhat of a doubled edged sword. Humans seek shelter an…

"If we're walking you won't even get to the next inn.", Azrael pointed out with a smirk. This journey had been hard enough on the priest and he'd not be able to keep up the pace, even if he rested for a night. He followed him inside the inn and let him talk, staying away from the two but listening. This was rather funny and it seemed like Ignatius never had to deal with anything like it. He had to give up and once he was tossed the key to their shared room, Azrael caught it and together they cli…

"I didn't want to scare you.", Richard answered, trying to figure out what Yujin really thought. It was impossible and maybe Yujin was totally fine with all this, but for some time he was awfully quiet too and that was unlike him. "Help me more?", he eventually asked and shook his head. "You're helping me more than you could imagine... you should have seen me back home and when I arrived here I didn't even talk for weeks..." Richard would have never admitted it to himself, but he did make progre…

Yujin jumped a bit when Richard touched him, before he even saw him. He turned around laughing and Richard looked at him apologetically. "Sorry...", he mumbled, kind of waiting for the verdict when Yujin looked him up and down. The touch, the pinch, he received was sudden and surprising. Of course Yujin wouldn't say or even think anything bad, but still, Richard wasn't so sure about this, but he also wouldn't just show everything else and rub it under his nose. "Are you sure...?" Yujin didn't re…

Yujin was happy and loud as ever and while Richard wanted to be pulled into all of that joy, he didn't quite manage to be, but he was still determined to follow him with a smile. They walked through the hallways and Richard wondered if he'd get cold feet, but he didn't, only literally, because this castle was way too cold outside of his room. The baths were the only other place he didn't shiver in and when they entered he enjoyed the humid air around them. Yujin closed the door, Richard apprecia…

"I think it's too late for salve...", Richard mumbled, hugging Yujin. He said to many nice things, but in a way Richard wondered if he did that just because he didn't want Richard to cry. "I don't want to be alone... I just want you to live." He was fine on his own for a bit, he had plenty things to do after all and he'd been fine today too when Yujin went out with his friends. "I always liked you..." Richard was the one who changed so much. How could Yujin fall for the Richard of the past and a…

"I don't want to be this weak.", Richard answered. He wanted to be normal, even if there wasn't much to go to here in Silesse. But he was scared of leaving this castle, he was even scared of walking the hallways alone. He knew most people didn't survive the climate here or at least lost the ability to fight, but those rats from Ollette found their ways, they might just pay someone who wasn't scared of Shuren. Richard clung to Yujin a bit more, as if that was enough to protect him here. Richard w…

"I... I know...", Richard mumbled, but still, he used to be daring and got Yujin to defy his fathers stupid rules. They did so many silly things together and even when Richard frowned, he enjoyed all of it. Yujin was the reason he started to feel alive again, the sole reason and now all of it was gone again. Yujin fixed him once, kind of, but this time? This time it seemed impossible to get normal again. The scars on his body would never heal, he'd have to live with them and see them all the tim…

"I know... but I can't even go to that place with you anymore... not that you took it well last time anyway." Did Yujin even remember? Probably not. Richard probably knew more about what happened to Yujin than Yujin himself right now. Either way though, Shuren didn't want them to look into it and Richard shouldn't test his hospitality. He didn't want to go back to Adrestia, he wanted to stay here, with Yujin. Richard couldn't deal with Dayan and he certainly didn't have the strength to fight aga…

Caelan chuckled. "I'm not jealous. I'm just saying that most others don't even care about mentioning the wolves." Ronan was like a hedgehog. Prickly and easily triggered - then he puffed up. But under all those stingers he was cute and soft. It was funny how he took every compliment as an insult, but maybe Caelan should start and try to get rid of that behavior. Ronan was amazing, but he himself was the last person to want to admit or see that. He constantly put himself down and although he had …

Ignatius didn't have to tell Azrael that he wasn't prepared for a journey like this, it was clear as day. He didn't ask why he was the one having to go on this journey to begin with, probably some weird church reason, Azrael didn't really care. He kept the pace and every now and then had them cut trough bushes and trees to make up time. When the sun slowly started to sink and vanish behind the treetops Azrael picked up the pace. He didn't mind sleeping outside, but they were close and even if th…
