"Maybe you'll find out how I feel about you later on in this story of ours. As for relationships, not every couple gets together, simply so they can raise a child. Whilst child bearing is the most commonly accepted reason, sometimes, people just want to spend the rest of their lives with the one they love the most. Is it really that much to ask? Some go into relationships, purely because of love. So there isn't a new person in the world, would that really effect a couple's love for each other that much? Another reason why someone would go into a same sex relationship, is that they may have lost faith in the opposite gender, due to some incident in their past. Then again, that's just an opinion I have. Maybe it would mean different in another place, in another time." Vergil stated, giving reason to his opinion earlier.

Vergil then noticed Velen and Itsuka leaving.

"Sorry if we're not being part of your plans for the moment you two, we're just discussing some private business between the three of us." Vergil mentioned to the pair, he then returned to Vessel and Scarlett. "Come on, we don't waste any more of their time." He then remarked. Vergil then proceeded to start walking.

Scarlett Verneer - Northern Mountain Pass

Scarlett kept her mouth shut and let the Vessel and Vergil talk. She didn?t want to encourage any conversation about the sigil and was pleased when the topic moved on. When Vergil called out to Itsuka and Velen she decided to chime in.

?Are you going to for Lorel.?

Vergil responded as quickly as Scarlett had asked.

"Out of total curiosity, why do you care about Lorel?"

Scarlett looked at Vergil and seemed a little confused about the feeling.

?Well? It?s just? I don?t think we should leave him alone.?

"Your right Scarlett, he must be underneath us or something. Sorry if I sounded harsh just now, it was just out of character for you to care about someone, at least from what I've seen of you, no offence." Vergil replied with sounding apologetic. He then overheard the Vessel.

Vincent - The Streets of Ivore, Coach - Ivore

"They fear us Lucian. They fear our order. We've done nothing to place suspicion on ourselves and yet here they flee into their homes as if we are the plague in flesh form." Vincent said, his voice barely more than a whisper as he gazed out the grayed windows into the forlorn streets. Vincent slid his sword back into it's sheath and placed it at his side near his other weapons, instead taking up a book and flipping through the pages aimlessly.

"A path through the mountain you say Lucian? Will our coach take us that far?" Vincent asked, his eyes flicking to the window that separated them and the driver.

"The only logical place where Lorel could of gone is underneath us, but there is nothing but caves down there, from what I've read at least."

Vergil then overheard the Vessel.

"What's wrong Vessel, something the matter?"

Lorel Ion ? Underground

Downwards he went the noise of the water above getting less and less. The cave had been clearly cut with some sort of magic as it was extremely precise, more so than from natural erosion. He reached a wooden door which was in contrast of all of the stone buildings. But it made sense; you couldn?t make a simple door out of stone. The wood was eroded and almost all gone and was broken off its hinges, and when he touched it, the wooden door simply broke down.

Stepping through he found himself to what he believed was the main center of the town. There was an actual working water fountain in the center, still functioning even after thousands of years. Magic? Most likely, but he had never seen such magic, possibly God Magic? Also he noticed it was already brightly lit, he looked above and noticed the ceiling was much higher and there was a continuous ball of light emitting all over the area.

There was a good amount of stone streets and houses that were built into the walls of the cave. In the streets there was even tree?s still alive and somewhere breaking through the stone and stretching out through houses and streets. The area was also large and seemed to continue on for a while. He began to go down the stairs to the area below and down into the streets when suddenly he heard a noise. It sounded like a beeping noise and then everything went dark.

Looking back up, the light had dwindled to the point where only the small area around it was lit. He attempted to use his magic but nothing was working. Lorel?s stomach began to twist and turn; it was like his magic was being suppressed. Was it the ball of light?s fault?
His eyes began to adjust but everything was still pitch black and then he suddenly without control began to breathe a lot faster. Pain where the wounds were began throbbing and feeling worse than before and the blood out of them began to flow faster and faster. Then his body began to feel weak.

?Gr?.? He heard the noise of growling and then footsteps clashing against the stone ground. Something was coming.

Velen ? Northern Mountain Pass.

It was interesting to see Scarlett somewhat interested in Lorel. Despite his somewhat Royal past, he had been sort of the loner in the group. Sure he talked but he was almost like a side-line person. Nashia walked up the group apparently hearing the chatter. ?You?re right Vergil. There are underground caves. It is very well possible that the ground broke and he fell into one. Being a mage he may have used magic to sustain his fall. Granted our maps of the caves is small so exactly. Anyway were moving out. I hope if Lorel does get out, he meets us in the North.?

"I believe that the correct word your looking for Vessel, is Lesbian, it is used to describe the sexual, and/or romantic desires between two or more women. There is a similar term used for men, which is known as Gay. It is no mutation, but simply the physical and psychological desires of someone who loves another of the same sex, just as it would be if they loved someone of the opposite sex."

"Whilst it is reasonably okay to be considered one of these two, there is however, a group who outright opposes it, I think you may have heard of them Vessel. The Champions of The Tempest. They see something as homosexuality, as a sin of the poor, and to them, it would only create weaklings, and as you know, The Champions favour the strong over all others, maybe this is another reason why the **** wanted them removed, and picked you do it, so it would discover who you are."

Scarlett Verneer - Northern Mountain Pass

Scarlett was feeling a little unsettled at the prospect of leaving Lorel behind, it was something she couldn?t quite understand, the feeling was just there. Scarlett understood and a year ago would have had no such problem with the idea. Here in the harsh cold of the mountains supplies, especially for a group this size, where scarce and the cave network bellow their feet could be extensive, and not mention dangerous. It could take days to find Lorel, dead or alive. That was if the bandits didn?t kill them all before. Pushing the thought of Lorel to the back of her mind she took in a deep breath of the icy air and took the first step forward.

The Vessel called. Scarlett looked back.?What??

Lorel ? Underground

Without a second thought he began to run away from the sounds but as he went sounds in other directions echoed. Barely able to see he had to recall what he had saw and go based on that. His magic feeling was getting weaker, and a strange feeling like he was being forced away. Now he was directly underneath the ball of light and he began to feel worse than anywhere else.

It was the ball of light, but why? He was starting to lose a lot of blood but he kept pushing on. But then he began to notice something, he began to feel stronger as he got away from the light. Slowly but surely his magic energy was being restored.

Lorel leapt over a stone column that was on the ground and continued on. He still had no idea what was cashing him but they were getting closer but he was getting stronger. Maybe the Ball of light was used to put down any mages?

Then as he was far enough away the lights came back on in full force almost blinding him. He crouched behind a column and grabbed his right hands wrist. His magic was back, he could feel it, but he lost too much blood and needed both hands to stabilize his attacks or they would be inaccurate. Just as the noise turned the corner Lorel jumped out and saw them.

Standing at 10?? they were hulking over him they stood on all fours but they could bring their two front ones and use them as hands. Their bodies were furry but had scales that overlapped their fur in some places. They were ape-like and their tusks weren?t large but sharp, and stuck at forward rather than downwards. And then there eyes, they were deep blazing red, almost as if they were on fire.

They shrieked a noise like he hadn?t heard before and he covered his ears. Would he be able to win?

"Hmm, I suppose I agree with the **** to a certain extent. The fact that you haven't been physically or sexually attracted to any of the men in the group so far, not that we have seen publicly, although you may have such thoughts going on in your head; and you did become fast friends with Scarlett when we was at the safehouse back in Grim, all of this would be considered proof enough for some, but not for you it would seem. You would want to study this some more, to try and find a reasonable explanation to all this."

Scarlett turned around and looked at the Vessel.

?What idea??

She had to admit to not listening to the conversion between Vergil and the Vessel.

Lorel ? Underground

Lorel turned the ground all around him into ice, hoping it would trip the monsters. It didn?t they ran on the ice and it simply cracked and broke before they could slip. He charged up a fire attack and ripped it out and sent it flying at the hulking beings in extreme speed. It struck one on their arm and set it on fire for a moment but with one pat, the fire was out.
They were close now, mere steps away from him. So he turned and began to run, looking at his surroundings. But he was getting faint; the blood was falling onto the ground and was leaving a trial. Where was he to go? He ran around a corner on the street and ran into a house before they could see. Inside he was still and went into a dark corner. Through one of the stone windows he saw them come by.

Did I allude them?

Suddenly they turned their heads and both of their eyes met and the beast roared and pounded their feats against their chests. With one sweep the stone house was destroyed and Lorel was caught in its rubble. Caught under a piece of stone he threw it over and it fell next to him. More pain. But before he could get up, one of the beasts were on him.
One of them picked him up like paper, their clutch was immensely powerful. They brought back their arm and chucked him across the street and he slammed into one of the cave?s wall. Blood flew from his mouth as he fell. Multiple bones were now broken. The ground was cold, and he could barely get himself to get back up.

His eyes closed?

Suddenly he awoke, but he wasn?t in pain anymore, he soon came to and he found himself standing. ?What..?? He spoke confused. He looked around and behind him he saw the two creature?s dead. But not just dead, brutally dead, bones sticking out, blood stained over their fur, heads gone.

His eyes widened and didn?t know what to say.

What just happened?

Scarlett looked at the Vessel and thought for a moment.

?Vessel, this is something you need to work out for yourself. Give it time and you will figure it out.?

She didn?t need to say more than that.
