Gil was the only one that had slept through the night, Walker had tried to take first watch but was threatened by Remey to sleep first. As much as he tried to resist the second his head hit the pillow he was out cold. Later he was woken up by Midnight who had been raking watch and he realized he would have the last watch of the night. Having the time to watch the sun rise while he walked idly around their camp Walker began to see more and more of the damage he had caused. The crater that had been made…-

Walker's eyes slowly lifted, the sun in the sky had fallen low to the horizon, orange and pink hues seemingly drifting away with the breeze. Feeling the weight in his head accompanied by the fog after using all his mana he was a bit unsteady. He could hear a fire crackling nearby and looked around to find that Gil was asleep nearby. Su and Remey were sitting with Midnight by the fire, Maria was curled up asleep on Su's leg. Lifting his hands to wipe away the sleep from his eyes he found that Onyx was in…

The second the First horned rabbit's foot landed near the first fire flower seed Walker had sent off was the moment it burst in to bloom. The fire flower had been taking its time to incubate as it normally did when used. Walker had tried to plan it perfectly so that when the rabbits would reach them the first spell would burst and capture them. The flaming vines were doing just that, easily twenty horned rabbits were trapped within the expanding vines as buds began to form. The hair on them was burning off…

The question Walker posed was a risky one for sure. The theory was that if they managed to set up a bit of defense and launch some big attacks then they could gain much more experience than they would have otherwise. Or they had the option of retreating, the problem with that though was if even one horned rabbit spotted them they would need to fight too many all at once without any preparation. Remey and Su had crawled up to them and heard the last bit. They shared a nice look with each other debating…

Soon the smell of roasting Horned rabbit legs filled the air, Walker was extra vigilant since he was worried it would attract other predators, however as it cooked he found none had come. Gil and Midnight were sulking since they did not want to be stuck with the watch all by themselves, however Walker refused to budge. Maria was visibly drooling, not a single person had realized just how underfed she must have been while with Vincent, they should have stopped sooner or given her some bread to snack on as…

Midnight had been keeping low to the ground using the shorter grass to camouflage herself while she followed the scent of the horned rabbit. She had yet to come in to contact with any other horned rabbits but had a feeling she was quickly approaching her target. More moments of crouched stalking passed until she saw an up heaved spot of dirt. This was a dig up den the horned rabbit had come from. Prowling around the edges she could find a slightly different smell, one more related to a predator. She saw…

With their new enemy taken down and the party adequately on alert Gil led them slightly out of the way to avoid the larger number of horned rabbit tracks. "The worst thing about the spring in the plains is that the horned rabbits come out in mass. They spent all winter in dens sleeping. Their young should have been born and they will all be coming out too." "Where did you learn that?" Since Gil was acting all know it all Remey felt the need to fight him on his knowledge, "Didn't you ask the warriors in…

With her reasons for coming there completed Scylla seemed like she wanted to say more. Walker almost asked her but instead had realized she was not looking at any member of the party. Instead her eyes were resting on a fairly terrified Maria. She had pushed herself as close to Su's leg as possible almost as if she thought she could blend in. Scylla slowly took the few steps forward while still looking at Maria, her head was looking down a completely deadpan face. Her eyes seemed to share a connection…

Once Maria had fallen asleep again, Remey and Su volunteered to ask around the guild to gather some winter clothing for her. Gil and Walker prepared some food for everyone since Midnight had started to hound them about being hungry, to appease her Walker gave her ten of the darkness crystals he still had stored away. Through the journey she had eaten about half of them. He wasn't sure how much it was influencing her growth but for good measure he pulled out some of the bones he kept for her to eat as well.…

The two made it back to the Tamers guild fairly quick since they were heading away from the crowded streets. Su had been walking funny but this was most likely because she needed to adjust to the new weight of the shield. The iron shield weighed more than her previous one due to the modifications it had undergone by adding the dragon scales. Once she had gone through the lowered fence with Walker she removed the shield, "What's up? Is it not comfortable?" Walker wasn't sure why she had removed it. "Ah…
