Ronan and Tessa hunted through the forest, climbing over trees and sniffing the air for any sign of people. One group Ronan found was of children, all huddled together in a hidden cave. Air and water users, one each, a shapeshifter, a dragon-related one, a noble, a hunter, and an ordinary human.
Tessa found the remains of a similar group, air and fire users instead of Air and water. The human seemed to be the one to die first, killed by the dragon.
"I wonder when Ronan and Tessa will come back?" Lacie wondered. "We don't know what else is in here."
Back with the others, they'd started a small fire and were all sitting around it's warmth, staying close to Endie for little sparks of fire.
"Hopefully soon. We need them back here to figure all this out, and since they're two of our strongest fighters.
"Not only that but I don't want anyone getting hurt." Lacie sighed
"Right." Anna looked around at everyone. They needed Tessa and Ronan.
Lacie hugged her knees to shield herself from the cold.

Ronan and Tess quickly found a pattern–some combo of the the four elements, a shapeshifter, a dragon-related entity, some kind of higher class human, a hunter, and just a simple human. Some were missing a few, but the pattern was still there. Most what the found, however, were remains. Old remains. Some were new, but not many. The siblings regrouped, then raced each other back to the others–they were clearly enjoying the hunt more than they should.
“Not originally, no. I’m not from Earth. My mom never told me the name of where I was born.”
"Tessa? Ronan?" Anna heard rustling, like something was coming towards them.
"I don't remember where I'm from," Lacie set her head on her knees
Lacie looked up at the rustling.

Tess and Ronan burst from the forest, once again wrestling with each other. It had been a while since they had an opponent of equal skills.
"Yeah." Anna said, giving Lacie an awkward pat on the back.
Lacie let out a sigh of relief seeing Tess and Ronan.
"Did you find anything?" Anna asked eagerly
Tristan smiled, “Hey guys! Everything go okay?”

The siblings paused in the scuffle long enough for them to recap what they found, then went right back at it.
Anna started pacing yet again, avoiding the area the two of them were pushing each other in, and started mumbling under breath. "Diagrams… I need diagrams…"
Lacie chuckled then her face turned grim.

Tess shoved Ronan off and paused, holding up a hand to halt his charge. "Wait. Do you guys feel that?"
Anna noticed. "what is it, Lacie?"
“What is that?” Tristan questioned
group
Tess tilted her head up. "Sunlight." She sniffed the air. "He opened the ceiling. That's why it's snowing." She opened her wings and shot up into the sky, checking to see if her guess was correct.
Anna craned her head up. "That… can't be right?"
group
Ronan sniffed the air too. "Air's cleaner," he noted.
Lacie look up
“It does smell nice,” Tristan the cat stretched and took the scent in
Anna still looked up. "But… what's stopping us from just leaving now?"
group
The ceiling was covered by a thick mist, but they heard a surprised yelp and Tessa quickly shot back down to the ground, dragon legs denting the ground. "Well. I made a few discoveries." A small bolt of electricity sizzled between her horns.
