Phantom: *eventually the light of dawn approached. The wolf was back to staring at the east towards the rising sun*
Callie:*the squid woke up after not sleeping much and went to sit next to Phantom and watched the sunrise*
Phantom: *her fur was flowing around as gusts of wind swept around the landscape. She didn't notice Callie*
Azure: *the tiger moved in her sleep. She wasn't used to waking up early as Phantom does. So she rolled over and put a paw over her face to block out the light*
Phantom: *After about five minutes she noticed Callie. She shifted her weight before speaking* Good Morning.
Callie:Morning.
Phantom: Are the others awake? *She said, her tone Getting abruptly strict.*
Callie:not yet.
Phantom: *she didn't say anything, her ears just veered backwards*
Callie:should they get up?
Azure: *the tiger groggily peeked her head above the hole. She looked like a kitten peeking out of a basket*
Azure: Oh good morn-
Phantom: *the she abruptly walked over and grabbed the 2-3000 pound tiger by the scruff and picked her up outta the hole, swinging her head she threw the tiger to the left*
Azure: EEEEE. *She hissed as she was thrown* WHAT WAS THAT FOR?! *She meowed while landing on her paws*
Phantom: Get up. It's dawn. We travel now. *The she said, giving Azure a death glare as she padded over to the tents* *she padded towards the tent Pearl was in, she abruptly grabbed the corner of the tent, Getting ready to jerk it down*
Azure: Quit being a grumpy grandma. *She said rubbing her scruff and using her tongue to fix the ruffled fur*
Phantom: WAKE UP SLEEPY HEADS *she barked loudly* GET YOUR SQUIB/OCTO BUTTS OUT HERE. ITS TIME TO MOVE.
Azure: *the tiger covered her ears* DO YA HAVE TO BE LOUD? *She hollered over Phantoms voice*
Phantom: *gives azure a death glare*
Azure: Okay okay... *Backs outta the conversation*
OTH+Marie:*they all jolted awake and teleported out thinking something bad was happening*
Callie:welp. That went great! *it was obvious she was sarcastic*
Phantom: *she grumbled as she had heaved her bag onto her back. The two pouches swayed as they evened themselves out. One side made a clanking noise as it settled into an even position* Hurry up and pack your bags. We gotta move.
Azure: *she quickly went over to Rina and the others* Don't worry. She's just in a bad mood for some reason. Everything's fine.
Marie:i hope...*the girls head hurt from everything the previous day*
Rina:come on. Let's get going before we get left behind.
Phantom: *the wolf was already pulling out her map. Starting to chart the way they went*
Azure: *as if on instinct the tiger zoomed around camp in a flash of light blue mist. All the tents were taken down and fires embers were put out. All the supplies mysteriously disappeared?*
Callie:*she was walking silently up with Phantom, her mind still racing on how to talk to M. She wanted to talk to someone about it but knew Phantom wasn't up to talk and the others probably thought she was a jerk now.*
Phantom: *she finished mapping out their journey. A few X's lay on the right side of the map in an area marked in dark red. It's read, If you enter...Be prepared to dieloose...* I have our course. Is EveryOne ready?
Azure: *she readjusted the red bandana on her tail, she moved the spikes bands up her wrists a bit more then headed over to Phantom*
Idols:*they all nodded*
Phantom: Then we move. *The wolf started to walk. Her pace brisk and firm.*
Azure: *the tiger followed next to Rina. She Clearly liked the Octoling*
Phantom: *she grumbled, checking the map again. Her eyes glanced at the X's but she quickly put the map away.* Were closer than I had thought. We should be there at Sun high.
Callie:*she looked back at Azure and Rina feeling nostalgic and a little jealous. Remembering when the tiger never left her side. She wanted to talk but still was afraid*
Phantom: *she started to walk faster. It soon turning into a trot*
Azure: *the tiger watched Callie and Phantom, her concern growing*
Callie:*the girl had nightmares the night before of her and M fighting and Marie breaking down screaming her name. She didn't see herself in the second one. And they didn't feel like nightmares but almost....visions?*
Phantom: *the she kept up her pace, going faster than a brisk walk.*
Azure: Phantom Slow down. The others most likely won't be able to keep up! *She said, starting to pant as the desert temperature rose*
Phantom: *she ignored the tiger but her pace slowed a tiny bit* *she pulled out the map . After a few seconds she put it away. Soon they were passing by a small town. The wolf paid no attention to it for some reason and kept going. *
Azure: Phantom aren't we going to restock at that Village? *The tiger said, looking more concerned than ever*
Phantom: No. *She kept walking. Her pace was slightly slower*
Azure: *she grumbled. Clearly not buying Phantoms act*
Pearl:is something wrong with that place?
Phantom: *the wolf came to an abrupt halt* What? *She said, turning her deathly look towards pearl*
Pearl:you seem to REALLY be avoiding it.
Azure: *at the sight of Phantoms glare, the tiger hid behind Rina*
Phantom: *she lowered her head, her death glare not moving from pearls eyes* What.Did.You.Just.Say? *She said again. A slight growl rising in her throat*
Azure: Pearl no ... *She whispered to Pearl, giving her a warning glance*
Pearl:you can tell us if something is wrong about it then we know you have a legit version to avoid it!
Callie:*the squid was ready to teleport and protect Pearl*
Pearl:Just give us a real reason to avoid it!
Phantom: *a snarl escaped her throat* You Question my Judgement? You want to go through that town??! IT BRINGS NOTHING BUT SORROW!! *The last part was half shouted as the snarl went from warning to aggressive, she then turned back around and continued walking. As if pearl didn't say a thing*
Azure: *the tiger realized which town this was, instantly she was mortified. A slight scared mew escaped her mouth as she bent backwards outta fear*
Pearl:IF YOU DON'T GIVE ME A REASON IM GOING IN!! IM A GODDESS WHATS SO BAD ABOUT A TOWN!!
Phantom: *a glow emitted form the right bag* if you want to get torn apart by monsters that cannot be stopped then so be it. I'm not entering that town. It's the last place I saw them.... *Her voice instantly went soft at the last sentence, she Slowly turned around and it's as if her anger evaporated. She slowly walked forward, her head hanging low*
Azure: Pearl No... *She whispered again... This time standing to full height and Following the she wolf slowly*
Pearl:*the girl became terrified and sad and just stood still*
Callie:*the girl went back and particularly shoved Pearl forward like a captive to get her moving. She knew what "them" meant*
Pearl:*she walked forward as her eyes flooded with tears. She was the chaos goddess. This behavior was in her nature....but she hated it*
AP: *both walked slowly, there heads hung low*
Azure: *she gave pearl one last look of sorrow, before continuing slowly behind Phantom*
Phantom: *the she wolfs ears were down and her eyes showed fear, sorrow and despair. As if memories were playing through her head. Her eyes Though we're barely visible as her head was hung low*
Azure: *after a few minutes of walking the tiger dropped to the back of the group for an unknown reason*
