The mist became thinner and thinner as they moved forward, before finally giving way to the dimly lit jungle. Ahead through the trees was a long wall, constructed hastily from fallen trees. Men and women holding impressively large crossbows stood atop; a few here and there sat with their legs...

The mist curled around the group as Shiro pushed and pulled the air, rendering them unseen as they circled around the unknown figures. Prometheus placed each step with the utmost care, fully awware that he was the least light-footed, save for perhaps Hymir. The trees grew thicker on one side...

As the group trudged higher, the rain thinned out to a damp mist; obscuring the thick jungle both in front and behind them. The slow rumbling of thunder above could still faintly be heard, but now the Titan slowed, moving warily. Coming to a complete stop, he focused his thoughts, glancing back...

Prometheus stood frozen as the group defied him, setting Mixcoatl free. The God looked quickly at his saviours, eyes flicking between each of them. Swallowing hard, he spoke briefly. "Thank you. I'll seek Freya, or her daughters. Thank you." Looking back at Prometheus, he seized his...

Mixcoatl rubbed his neck slowly, eyes darting between Hymir, Keshi, and Andrew. Fearful for his life, he now looked to Hymir, considering him the leader of the group. Shaking his head slowly, he tried to offer what help he could. "His demeanor? I don't know...his form is short and ugly - a...

Nicole emerged from the glade's sparse canopy muted against the now swirling, grey sky. She began to feel the first splashes of rain on her shoulders, a sign of weather to come. At first she saw only the waving branches of the jungle, shimmering like a brown and green sea. The odd dark shaped or...

The injured God, unable to answer amidst the hail of questions, received Andrew's help gladly, tempered though it was. Whether or not he trusted Apollo's son could not be discerned; covered in black paint, blood, and dust, his face seemed expressionless. Seeming to resist the paralysis for a...

There was no struggle as Keshi - or whatever fragment of her inheritance was now in control - hauled the injured man up. His breathing was quite ragged, and he began to speak. "I was hired...Loki...wants the traitors killed...and their children. This is my home...he was going to burn it down...

Rias tore her way through the upper-half of the assailant, loosing a near torrent of blood onto herself. Thoroughly dead, the gored corpse crumpled to the ground. The soft thump was followed by several more, as Hymir cleaved his way deftly through the creatures; showing a grace and style...

Keshi confronted the beast with the power of a daughter of Kali. Disheartened by the shimmering wall of steel, the creature quickly shrunk back into the shadows and resumed the fast-paced circling of the group. Prometheus was moments away from bringing flame to the battle, before his...

The injured figure looked to Keshi and Rias as he limped further forward, pleading his case. His words were ragged and short; urgent. "Please...I only do what I need to survive. I have information! Don't let me...die..." The emphasis on the last word provoked an uncharacteristic expression...

Prometheus folded his lips as Andrew called him out. Feeling foolish was not something the Titan enjoyed. Still, he felt quite uncomfortable with Hymir's Northern Magic, and was slow to project his thoughts back out, with a slight grin at Andrew. "Right, the Thought Cloud. Alright, the hill...

Prometheus raised his eyebrows at Rias, and have her a brief grin. "I used to be very patient, you know. But now it seems we have no time for patience..." As they left the hotel, they were graced with early sunlight - yet an unnatural storm still hung low over the forest; the clouds...

Sunrise Prometheus had drifted into strange dreams and old memories, seemingly motionless from the moment he lay down. As rays of sunlight crept through the small, high windows, his eyes eased open. Hurriedly dressing himself in dry but crumpled clothes, he roused the others. "We had best...

Prometheus nodded silently and motioned for Keshi to lead the way. Picking their way through the scattered, industrial buildings, the noise of a small but vibrant city began to grow. People could be seen flicking in and out of the poorly lighted alleys as they approached the small oasis of...
