Hunter glanced at him. "You need to sleep if you have to save this fucking place."

Kye sighed. "Yeah, you're right, but if you're going to help me, you do to. So where are we going to set up camp?"

@PrettyLittlePyro

Hunter pointed to a strand of trees a few yards away. "There."

"Right, let's go," Kye gestured for her to take the lead remembering that at night was when all the weird things came out.

@PrettyLittlePyro

Hunter walked over to the trees and walked around carefully, testing the ground before giving him thumbs up.

He followed slowly, also testing the ground for anything that felt wrong, and being careful to step where Hunter stepped. They reached the trees that Hunter had pointed to, after a bit over maneuvering around things.

@PrettyLittlePyro

Magma lay down on the ground. Hunter clambered up and tree and into the highest branch she could manage before laying down on it, staring up at the stars. She loved to be high up when she slept. It gave her a sense of security.

Kye climbed up after her, situating himself onto a branch a bit lower then hers. He looked up at the stars and noticed Hunter looking at them as well. That was something they had in common, stargazing.

@PrettyLittlePyro

Hunter fell asleep, thinking about Lina. She had almost told her secret, she knew. She should never have trusted that old hag.

For Kye it was less sleep and more a power nap. He kept hearing strange sounds around them, it wasn't until a branched cracked underneath them that Kye realized something was climbing the tree. He jumped up and looked down into the darkness. "Hunter," he whispered.

@PrettyLittlePyro

Hunter awoke immediately. "What?"

@Echo_6 group

Kye didn't respond, he climbed up higher, hearing whatever it was climbing higher. His dagger was in his hand, and he was searching around him. Something sounded from above Hunter. A low, menacing growl.

@PrettyLittlePyro

Hunter snapped her head up. Why hadn't she heard it earlier. She peered through the branches, trying to see, her hand reaching for the dagger in her boot.

From the tree next to them Kye heard another growl. And the sounds from below him seemed to have doubled. "Something doesn't want us here. Also why aren't the dragons making noise? They would have known about these what ever they are, before us." He jumped up to the branch Hunter was on and pulled her down a branch. Something landing in the spot where she had been.

@PrettyLittlePyro

Hunter looked closely at it, then cursed. She pulled Kye down and pressed him to the trunk. "Dilmars!" She hissed.

"Again, something doesn't want us here," he whispered. "Question is what do we do about them?"

@PrettyLittlePyro

"They fear fire, which is why they knocked the dragons out," Hunter said quietly. "They are deaf, but have really good eyesight."

"Fire…" Kye reached back into his backpack and pulled out his torch. "Would this work?" he asked, though it looked like he had nothing to light it with.

@PrettyLittlePyro

Hunter tilted her head. "It might…"

@Echo_6 group

"Good, let me see your dagger," he glanced up at the creatures, as he reached into his backpack again. Pulling out a bottle of something.

@PrettyLittlePyro

She handed it to him, eyes wary. She glanced towards the ground, though she could see no sign of the dragons.

Kye took the dagger and poured some sort of liquid on it. He then spun his torch and in a second it was lit. He held her dagger in the flames and it caught. Just the blade of her dagger was on fire now.

@PrettyLittlePyro

The Dilmars all shrieked. A creature like a monkey with tentacles fell from the tree.

@Echo_6 group

Kye chose to ignore the sounds that were just made. He handed Hunter her dagger, and lit his dagger. "What just fell?" he asked looking at the thing that fell.

@PrettyLittlePyro

Hunter winced. "A Dilmar. They're ugly." She stood on the branch. "We need to leave. Dilmars only serve one master, and never do things by themselves. You were right. Something did want us to leave."

group
@Echo_6 group

"Well, if they attack use your dagger, it'll burn for twenty minutes straight before the dilgo oil will burn out. Let's make our way too the dragons and get out of here," Kye said. He turned sharply when he heard one behind him. It shrieked and jumped away. "Let's move."

@PrettyLittlePyro

Hunter lept from the tree. She landed hard, twisting her ankle, but ignored the pain. She darted over to Magma and cut the ropes that bound her.

@Echo_6 group

Kye leap after Hunter, landing in a roll, and cutting Cobalt loose. He mounted and took off.

@PrettyLittlePyro

Magma took off and flew in the direction of the tree in a burst of speed. Hunter winced, her ankle throbbing. She should have been more careful, but it was too late for that now.

Kye glanced back at the creatures climbing around the trees. He took out a rag and smothered the flame on his dagger. Then he turned so that he was facing back towards Hunter. Tossing the rag to her he called. "Use it to put out your dagger."
