(I agree on that)

Aisen sat down near her, setting his scythe down. “So now we wait?” He asked Adara.

She grinned at him. "Yup. Until nightfall. That way, we can burn the villages we pass without anyone seeing us." She lay back, soaking in the grass, closing her eyes. "So, when did you get here?"

“A couple of days ago. I’m just here ‘cause my brother went to another dimension without me. Of course…a crazy guy like me obviously has a crazier brother.” He answered and added to Adara’s question. “Well if you don’t mind—“ he laid down his whole body on the grass near Adara “—I will lay down for a while.”

Adara smirked, eyes still closed. "Well, he can't be as crazy as me." She rolled over and lay her head on her arms. "I'mma sleep now, so keep quiet or I will attempt to fry you to a crisp."

Aisen smiled calmly “Fine, have a good sleep then, I’ll wake you up if the guards decide to end their lives quicker than expected.”

Adara laughed. "Alright then." She fell asleep quickly.
"Adara," a voice, smooth and musical said. A figure of a woman appeared. Adara glared at her.
"Why are you in my dreams, Lybiran?"
"Because," the woman said calmly, "I have information you need in order to survive."

The sun started to set as the dusk arrives. Aisen looked for any soldiers that could be coming this way. Without waking Adara up, he turned his scythe into a bow and shot some of the guards on patrol.

Elm spotted the pair in the grass. There's that mage and creepy fox guy He thought to himself. Elm looked back at Aza, she was still out cold. Elm was more of a healer than a fighter, so his best option was to parley, and hopefully come to a peaceful conclusion, or even better, join them in the fight against the King.

Adara woke as she heard fighting noises. She rolled her eyes and blew up one, not bothering to get up from the ground.

(Right?)

As Aisen was aiming at another guard, he spotted Elm and fired at the guard. He blankly stared at Elm and Aza while his head was tilting in confusion.

Elm raised his hands in surrender. He looked down and fumbled with something momentarily, and then he started waving a white cloth frantically.

Adara followed his gaze and groaned when she saw the others. She stood gracefully and glared at them. "Great, the Faerie and her boyfriend." She whipped around as a soldier crept up behind her and kicked him in the face with so much force that she snapped his neck.

Aisen looked at the soldier “—Poor him” before he looked back at Elm. “You wanna go to them, wait for them to come to us or…you know, ‘take care’ of them…?”

Elm put Aza's arm around his shoulder again and walked through the grass. He rolled a cube on the floor, and nodded when he saw the results his hands took on a reddish glow and he put his pointer fingers and thumbs together and began shooting red rays into the grass, where some soldiers were going to attempt an ambush.

Adara shrugged. "We should probably go to them, but I want to end the Faerie. She annoys me." She nudged the body with her toe. "I love kicking things."

Aisen stood up and offered Adara a hand. “Well, let’s go then.” He smiled as he said it. “But don’t kill that Faerie yet, I might find some other use for her body”

Elm approached the pair, clearly straining to keep up the red glow around his hands. "Actually, I'd rather we work together," He replied to Adara's comment.

She sent him a grin and excepted Aisen's hand, allowing him to pull her up. She brushed her clothes off and walked towards the elf and asshole.

"Nice to see you both, you're looking great." Elm started. "I see we all share a common goal, right?"

(Sorry XD)

(Oof, is it wrong that I put a stress on ‘that word’)

Aisen raised a brow. “You’re also planning on killing the king?” He asked doubtfully.

Adara looked at him for a moment, then glanced to Aisen, her expression asking if she should tell him.

Noticing Adara's glance, Elm tried to hurry. "Yes, we are. I, for one, am done with his antics. It's just not right, killing off innocent people just becuase they're not human." Elm looked at the dead bodies. "Well, not that you two are innocent, but you know, the others."

Aisen seemed surprised. “Same goal but different reasoning for me” he said to Elm before turning to Adara and seeing her expression. “Is there anything wrong Ada?”

Adara looked at Elm. "Well, I'll work with you as long as you give me space, keep the Faerie away from me and let me kill things every once in a while."

Adara glanced at Aisen. "No." But she remembered what her ancestor had told her in her dream and her hands shook.
