"What the hell are you doing here?!" Rowan pointed towards the girl, his hand going to the hilt of his sword.
"Hm? Do you know her, Rowan?" Sylvia tilted her head slightly, eyes flicking between them.
"Yeah! That's the brat that stole from me." Rowan stepped to Sylvia side, his glare fixated on Myra.
"She does look familiar." Jinx floated towards the girl, rubbing her chin while analyzing Myra like she was some rare insect.
"Uh–I don't know what you're talking about!" Myra put her hands up, she gulped. Saliva going down her throat and taking a step back.
"Kid, i know its you." Rowan sighed, rubbing the forehead of his helm and releasing his grip on the hilt.
"Anyways, this is Myra Linelle. The brat who stole from me" He softly hit myra on her head with his scabbard, earning a small ow and grumble from her.
"Since shes the pick pocket girl, let's just kill her." Kael eyes stayed on myra, filled with pent up bloodlust and thirst.
Jinx and Sylvia just watched as kael stomped towards Myra, a grin deserving of a demon slowly appearing on his face, his right arm transforming into that of a werewolf before Rowan stepped infront.
"No, we aren't gonna kill our employer daughter." Rowan rested his hand on kael shoulder, but his eyes stayed on myra.
"Correct. Now let's escort our little pickpocket here" Sylvia played with her dagger, twirling it between her fingers infront of myra face.
"Please go easy on me?" Clearly intimidated by Sylvia, Kael, Rowan, and Jinx. She flinched when Sylvia dagger spun just a tad bit too close near her cheek. She finally put her trembling hands down. Still fearing for her life.

Meanwhile...
"Mimi! Miro! Get back here!" Caelum shouted at the twins running off to get pets.
"Mimi and Miro wants pets! No!" Mimi glanced back, still slipping through the crowd in the marketplace.
"You gotta be–" Caelum stopped himself.midsentence, clicking his tongue annoyedly. "We came here to get potions, not pets." Caelum muttered under his breath, clearly tired of everything as he strode through the crowd of people to an alchemy shop.
Caelum entered, some were chatting while some impatient. The smell of potions filled the air mixed with the smell of other stalls sales. Alchemist scrambled behind the reception as customers waited, caelum scoffed at the amount of people. Just wanting to get this over with.
Caelum walked up to a shy-looking receptionist wearing glasses.
"Hell–hello! Welcome to Velka's Alchemy! What can i get you?" She fixed her glasses, looking up at caelum while fidgeting with the hem of her uniform.
"Can you get me–" Caelum reached into his bag, taking out a paper and sliding it towards her. "These potions?"
The girl grabbed the paper with clumsy movements. A newbie, annoying. Caelum thought.
"Okay–! Alright, you want a–" she took a look at the paper, setting it aside and looking back up at caelum. "You want three healing potion, and two mana potion?
"Yes. How much is that?" His eyes went to his bag again, reaching in to grab his wallet. Eyes flicking to the girl and his wallet.
"That–! It would come to nineteen silver coins sir." She stammered out, eyes going back and forth from caelum to the other patrons.
"Here then." Caelum slid nineteen silver coins to her, tossing another piece as a tip. "Do it fast."
"Tha– Thank you sir!" Her eyes lit up at the tip, she scrambled out of her seat. Stumbling as she jogged to the back.
"Way too clumsy." Caelum muttered under his breath, watching the receptionist return with the potions, one nearly falling out of her arms.
"Here's your potions sir, please come back next time!" She watched caelum nod at her, grabbing the potions and stuffing it inside his bag. He strode towards the exit.
"Now where are those two brats." Caelum looked around, a horse taking a dump, a merchant barking prices, people chatting, guards patrolling. He saw a pair of cat ears perking up.
"There they are." He shoved past a broad shouldered man, caelum ignored his confused stare while walking towards the twins and he saw... Veyrah with them too?
"Miro wants more fish!" Miro raised his arms in excitement, fish dangling from his mouth and so was his sister.
"Mimi wants more fish too grandma!" She copied her brother movements, an older lady just chuckled at them. Reaching into her basket. she took out two fishes and gave it to the twins. Petting the twins one last time before walking away.
"Your greed disgusts me brats." Veyrah crossed her arms, leaning againts a merchant stall ignoring the merchant stare as she grabbed a single piece of Apple and bit into it.
"There you are, leaving me to do the work alone should get you no pets you brats." Caelum softly hitted the two on the head, earning a ow from the two.
"But–" Caelum turned his attention towards Veyrah "Why are you here? Aren't your supposed to be searching for knightbane base?"
"I did. I was able to pinpoint the general location of his base. But Im following his men." Veyrah pulled her hood down, a mask covering her mouth and nose.
"And where are those men?" He grabbed Mimi and Miro by the collar, planning to drag them back to the inn.
"Awh, Mimi and Miro was having fun!" Mimi crossed her arms in annoyance, kicking a flower pot.
"Having fun my ass–" Caelum glanced back at the two, he felt the wind whooshing past him as two men in leather armor ran past him. Pushing a grandma out of the way.
"Are those–?" Caelum released the twins, he looked closer towards the two men. "The two you were talking about?" Caelum pointed a single hand at the two men, glancing back at Veyrah who nodded in agreement.
"They'll lead me to their boss base." Veyrah pulled her hood back up, she took out both of her daggers and stepped into the shadows. "Unless you three want to help."
Veyrah was swallowed by darkness as she entered the void, a realm few can enter. And even fewer leaving with their sanity intact
"I wanted to a full eight hour sleep." Caelum sighed, his staff glowed slightly as a mana cloud started to form under his feet.
"Really! Is Mimi and Miro able to have fun now?" The two stood up, already unsheathing their sword with a disturbing enthuiasm for two thirteen year olds.
"Yes... Go after them." Caelum muttered, the mana cloud fully formed under his feet while pointing at the two men who was now on the roofs.
"Yes! Mimi says Miro follow her!" Her eyes lit up, she ran ahead of her brother with a grin as Miro followed.
"I really wanted to sleep tonight..." Caelum grip on his staff tightened, he slowly floated into the sky. Ignoring others gazes while the mana cloud sped towards the men. His mind filled with why his babysitting these brats rather than being in bed.

Meanwhile...
"Still, i gotta say why did you even steal from me? Your a noble daughter Myra!" Rowan Walked at myra rear, his red hood fell back because of the wind.
"I was bored! You don't know how boring and exhausting it is to be treated as some fragile little thing." Myra softly kicked Rowan boot, stepping back she gritted her teeth from kicking steel.
"Some bullshit you said there brat, you've got everything and you're complaining about that?" Kael spitted, as he walked by Myra right he growled at a stray dog, scaring it away.
Myra muttered something under her breath, she looked down at her own feet. Refusing to meet anyone gaze.
"Welllll! I think that has to do with her always having to be guarded like some vase! Im right aint i?" Jinx floated on top of myra upside down infront of her face, she started poking her cheek.
Myra clenched his hands into a fist because of jinx, but she kept looking down and refused to meet anyone gaze.
The twang of a bowstring echoed, Sylvia saw it first. A hooded man was on the rooftop of a house, the Arrow whistled through the air heading towards Myra.
"Oh no~ Jinx move aside." Sylvia purred, Jinx quickly floated to the side. Finally Sylvia grabbed the Arrow midair, stopping inches away from Myra eye.
"Wha- what was that?!" Myra stepped back in a panic, Rowan dragged her aside as another arrow whooshed past her face.
"An ambush, Myra." Sylvia eyes flicked from the archer on the roof and the Arrow, she smirked. Throwing the Arrow into the air she spun and kicked it towards the archer with power and precision hitting it's target.
"Muscles doesn't equal to being suprised easily big guy!" Jinx watched a massive man grab a barrel and hurling it towards her, she crouched with unnatural flexibility but the man used this as a chance and brought his war Axe over his head and swung it down hard towards Jinx
It was no use as Jinx body started to shift, she turned into... A white gooey, sticky liquid? Nevertheless her new form captured the Axe, trapping it.
"Are you serious? Why are we getting ambushed now!" Rowan complained, his hand went to his sword, unsheating it as he lifted his leg and it shot out. Kicking away an attacker.
"Finally! It was getting boring." A sadistic smile appeared on his face, Kael grabbed myra. Pushing him away from the heat of battle.
Myra watched Kael be surrounded by five armed people, he didn't seem to care on the fact they were slashing and stabbing him. His eyes... Twitched? His breathing shifted, then came the painful sounds of bones cracking. Slowly Kael rose to nine feet tall his clothes ripping apart, gray fur grew and his teeth became that of a wolf.
"There goes his body again, i can never get used to the sounds of his body breaking..." Rowan muttered under his breath, bringing his sword up to block an Axe.
Kael breathed heavily from the transformation. grabbing one of the attackers and lifting him up, he stared him down before howling into the air.
"Wait! Have mercy–!" The plead echoed through the empty street, interrupted by kael ripping the person head off.
"Shut your mouth." Kael who now stood at nine feet tall, his eyes bloodshot and his body covered in fur. His mouth, now like that of a wolf was covered in blood.
"You didnt have to rip out his head, Kael." Rowan sword thrusted forward, it pierced a man chest directly hitting his heart. Rowan brought his arm up, blocking a sword before Sylvia Arrow pierced the man head.
"Well~ they did attack us first, Rowan. Theyre just getting the consequences!" Sylvia took out another arrow, she placed it on her bow and aimed at the man running away, she released bowstring.
The Arrow cut through the air, flying towards the man it pierced the back of his knee, he slammed onto the ground. A Scream deserving of an award echoed before another hissed through the air hitting his head, finishing him off.
"Hehehe~! That guy scream is good!" Jinx commented on Sylvia kill, watching a person fight her clones, she clapped and cheered as they swung their sword wildly like a mindless bwast. Before being kicked down by one of the clones, stabbing them multiple Times.
In the midst of it all, Myra stood terrified, and confused on how they were able to talk like this is a normal Tuesday while killing.
"Wha–?! Help!" Myra mouth was covered by a hand, a moment passed and there was... None?
Myra, confused. Turned and saw two men in leather armor laying on the ground passed out with two similar catkin standing over them arguing.
Miro eyes Lit up suddenly, he pointed at the air. "Miro says Caelum is gonna cast fireball!"
Myra tilted her head slightly, she followed Miro hand and saw a man standing on a mana cloud he wore a mage robe and a a wide rimmed hat with a pointy top.
"Be gone." That's all he said before a ball of fire formed and it shot towards five people, turning them into burnt crisp instantly.
Myra watched in awe at the ball of fire forming but flinched the moment it hit the five.
"Veyrah~ Darling did you come here for me?" Sylvia watched a pair of arms reach out from the shadows, dragging two into the void before Veyrah stepped out.
"No." But Veyrah body betrayed her, the moment Sylvia got closer one arm grabbed her hips and dragged her closer.
"Is everything–" Rowan kicked someone onto a wall, aiming for the heart again he thrusted the sword, hitting it. "Finished?"
"All of them are dead," Caelum stepped down the mana cloud, with every step downwards a miniature mana cloud appeared, turning into mist everytime he stepped off. "Expect for those two Miro and Mimi knocked out."
Everyone glanced where caelum was looking except Veyrah, they saw the two catkin now playing with Myra, and nuzzling into her. while the two passed out men started to stir awake.
"Mimi says your comfy!" Mimi nuzzled alongside Miro into Myra who sat on a create frozen, her eyes darting everywhere but the twins.
She felt cold steel touch her shoulder making her startled and shiver.
"Don't worry, its me, Rowan." Myra looked up, and saw Rowan. She finally sighed, her shoulders relaxing.
"Rare to see these two troublemakers like someone." Rowan glanced back and saw Kael transforming back, And... He was naked, a convenient mana cloud covered his sausage as Sylvia casually gave him pants. They were used to this expect Myra.
"Anyways, These two should give you company while we go interrogate the twins knocked out." Rowan gave Myra a small Pat on the head as he saw the others walking to the men, Myra grumbled at being treated like a kid.
"Ughh... My head..." The bald one slowly woke up, rubbing his head from dizziness. He nudged the bearded one beside him. "Hey, wake up."
"Agh... What happened–" a massive shadow came over them.
The two saw a Jinx crouching infront of them with a devilish smile, behind him stood Kael wearing only pants but they could feel the bloodlust emitting from him, at the other side stood two elves, an Veyrah and a Sylvia with the high elf clinging onto the dark elf, but they could feel their attention was on them. Another stood beside them and it was Caelum, he was drinking coffee but his staff glowed and the light terrified them. Their eyes finally landed on the knight, Rowan. Who... Stood there casually, and waiting for something.
"Aren't all of you-? Oh... We're fucked."
