Arcane Tales

"Super"

*Derek casts Haste on himself and begins searching for a safe exit.*

Derek: <We gotta get outta here.>

*Kentaro takes Kari's hand and the two stand up a look of fear on her face.*

"I hope I'm wrong."

*Jade draws her blade*

"Mist is never good..."

*Nothing actually happens and the mist keeps filling the room, slowly blocking their vision*

Ari: <We must get out of here!>

Allina: <Oh, roger that!>

*They run through the tunnel towards the exit*

*Derek takes rear in case anyone falls and needs help.*

Derek: <Go, go, go!>

Creed and Alto follow with their guard up.

*Jade follows*

"I can barely see anything."

*Kentaro still holding Kari's hand runs down the hallway, Kari beside him.*

*James rushes to find a way out.*

Ari: <I wish I knew, Lady Soul.>

Allina: <We're almost there!>

*They find their way outside, where the mist is just as dense. It keeps closing in around them. They hear a loud sound and see a small fleet of Sephiran airships cross the sky towards the west. The mist just keeps growing and, after a few seconds, they stop being able to see or hear each other, and even themselves. Derek's Haste wears off*

=====

*Lucien is in a small dark room with a plain bed, a cabinet and a small window with the shades half shut. The walls and ceiling are made of wood, except for the one with the window, which is made of metal. Through the window he can see two other Aldanian airships flying next to the one he is in.*

Derek: <Dammit....>

*He tries cutting through the mist, to no avail.*

"War?" Creed asks Alto before the mist totally envelopes them.

Alto says something in reply but it is lost upon the mist. Alto whispers out, "Luna, guide me" and holds up his hand which glows with elemental light.

---

Lucien paces back and forth before he finally kicks open the door with a bang and goes stalking off, "Fucking hungry" his hands in his pockets.

*Kentaro feels Kari's grip on his hand tighten and he lets out a sigh in relief.*

*Jade closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. She opens them to still see the mist.*

"Great, its not my imagination..."

*Kari suddendly stops feeling Kentaro's hand and the mist around her fades. She's in a clearing in the middle of a forest, next to Alto and Allina. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and there's a nice fresh breeze running*

Allina: <...Okay, what the hell?>

=====

*Kentaro, James and Jade are released from the mist as well, in a similar area*

=====

*Soul, Derek and Creed are released in yet another similar area*

=====

*He arrives at the deck, where an armored man is steering the ship, a young teenaged girl with shoulder-lenght dark blue hair, a long light blue dress and a silver tiara standing next to him*

Princess Kelphy: <...Sounds interesting. Can I try it?>

Soldier: <Errrr... I don't think that's a good idea.>

"W-what the hell?!"

*Kentaro looks around with a paniced look on his face.*

=====================================================

"Ke-Kentaro?"

*Kari stares at the ground.*

"We're in the other world again" Alto says. "It has the same feeling as before."

====

"We're lost... again" Creed facepalms.

---

Lucien walks over and blows in the princess's ear, "Let this soldier do his job..." besides I don't trust you to steer a ship anyway "...m'lady" he was grinning by the way he said m'lady was dripping with sarcasm.

Derek: <You've been here before?>

*He sheathes his sword and looks around.*

Alto and Creed speak at the same time by some force of fate.

"Yes, I've been here before. This world is called 'Mysteria' "

Allina: <Kenny, I said that first. Wait. I smell food. I haven't eaten anything in hooours. Food!>

*They all feel the scent of yummy grilled fish*

=====

*A small black ball rolls to Kentaro's feet and explodes in a cloud of smoke, this cat girl dashing through the smoke and punching at his face out of nowhere*

=====

*They feel the scent of yummy grilled fish nearby*

=====

*She pinches his cheek and walks out*

Princess Kelphy: <I'm hungry.>

*Kentaro holds up an arm to shield his face and draws his gun with his other hand, pointing it at the ass-random catgirl.*

"Who the hell are you?!"

=====================================================

*Kari slowly follows the smell still staring at the ground.*
