"Yes, bandits." Sorael started studying the facial expressions of his squad mates. "The bandits have been raiding some of the settlements and have caused enough damage that they finally have to send us in to take them out." Sorael continued. "The bandits are located in a cave at Razorback mountain but we don't know where it is located. We'll have to find out where once we get there but we are to kill every bandit we see." Sorael said.
Halgon looked at Sorael doubtful, "Alright Sorael, I'll bite, I want it to be clear, I will skip the formalities, I'm not interested in rank and such things, I will be treated as your equal and their equal," he said pointing at the rest of the team "or I will leave this squad. Let's roll."
"And there's no way I'm staying behind if you send Malyc to scout," Henry huffed, looking agitated. "I'm a Northerner. I know the terrain here much better than any Aquean will ever..." he trailed off after seeing the angry look on Sorael's face after his unintentional jab at the Aqueans.
Henry fidgeted, shifting his weight slightly as Felix gave a scolding squeak.
"Oops, sorry," he muttered, looking down and shuffling his feet in embarrassment.

Drogon closed his book and stared at Halgon.
"No, that is no good idea. We are a group of induviduals recruted to do a task for someone. That someone then also posesses the right to lead. We would be bettter off letting Sorael command."
Reopening the book, he added:
"And I think we should lay some strategies when the other members arrive. And find out what we should do in certain situations. For example, I seem to be the only mage yet. Therefore we should plan accordingly."

Aaron was engrossed in a leather bound spell tome when he heard the commotion. There was shouting which finally settled down to loud conversation. Unable to concentrate any longer, Aaron decided to see what was going on. He pulled the hood of his Vulcan robe up and went over to see what was going on.
As he turned the corner what he found was a ragtag group of adventurers sitting under a tree, intrigued Aaron decided he wanted to join the fun. He closed the distance between them quickly and asked "What's going on here?" eagerness clear in his voice.

Henry walked over and extended a hand, grinning goofily.
"Well, that's not something you see every day: a guy masquerading as a Vulcan. Nice to meet you, I'm Henry! And boy am I glad I'm not the only youngster on the team."
Felix poked out from Henry's sleeve and squealed a hello.
"I guess Felix says hi too, don'tcha pal?"

Aaron's eyes lit up at the sight of the creature in Henry's sleeve. "I've heard of these before but I've never actually seen one up close." He exclaimed "I thought they were all extinct!" Aaron excitedly produced his spellbook again and takes out a page, clearly ripped out from another book. It was a sketch that bore a striking similarity to Felix.
A shadow crossed over the group as the young Rena flew overhead. Giggling happily, she went into a dive and flew straight at them before breaking her descent by quickly flapping her wings towards the ground. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she said. "Hi there! Is this everyone in the group that's going on the Great Bandit Adventure?" She had officially named the mission herself, and since she thought it was catchy she stuck with it. Looking up to everyone, as she was the smallest here, she giggled and said. "Wow, everyone's so tall."
Felix scampered over to Aaron, looking curiously at the page, his ears flopping around excitedly.
"Really?" Henry asked, rushing over to glance at the page. "I thought Felix was a one-of-a-kind deal, since I've never seen anything like him. Do you know anything about Felix's kind? You'd think he'd tell me, since he never shuts up about anything, but most of the time he's just reminding me about finding my destiny."
Felix stared up, giving Henry a half-reproachful, half-playful scowl before resuming climbing onto Aaron's shoulder.
"You're a lucky guy, Aaron," Henry joked. "Felix doesn't usually take well to strangers."
Henry glanced toward the sky, hearing a faint melodic giggling resounding in the air. Shielding his eyes from the sun, he saw what looked to be a small girl with wings. Bewildered, he came up with a snappy one-liner to introduce himself to the stranger.
"And what fairy tale did you fall out of?" Henry asked.

Aaron took Felix off his shoulder and gave him a pat, smiling as he did so. Aaron always loved animals. He pulled his hood off from his face and Felix cuddled up in the cowl. Aaron heard Henry and the newcomer talking to each other when he heard her say "Is this the group for the Great Bandit Adventure?" Aaron's eyes shone with new found interest. It would be an excellent chance for him to test his spells in combat again.
"Wow everyone's so tall" The Fae said finally with a giggle.
Aaron decided to interject before they decided to leave "Excuse me," Aaron said, "Did I hear something about an adventure?"

Rena giggled happily as the others took notice of her. She had learned of the group on the way to the mountains and quickly decided that being in a group would be infinitely better than going it alone. Smiling to the one who asked her what fairy tale she came from, she replied. "No fairy tale! I'm from the forest! My name's Rena and I'm going on an adventure to the mountains to beat the bandits and get their treasures! I think I'm a little in over my head though, so when I heard about your group, I decided to fly over here!" She looked to the other person, Aaron, and said. "That's the Great Bandit Adventure in a nutshell!"
Henry sighed, walking with Aaron back to the rest of the group as Rena fluttered above energetically.
"You know, I used to think the forests were quiet. And then you came along. But it's good to have you around, you know?" Henry said. "It's a good thing you found us, Rena. A small one like you wouldn't last 5 minutes against a troupe of bandits."
The trio meandered back to Sorael, who shot an agitated look at them for straying off. Henry shrugged it off apologetically, grabbing an apple from his pack and taking a bite out of it with a satisfying crunch and handing a small sliver to Felix.

"You know, Henry, that depends on if they ever saw her or not" Malyc said with a grin. "Back in the war, we used to ambush much larger groups of enemies than our own." He gets a far off look in his eye, as if remembering days long past.
"Of course, doing that did end up killing my men off in the final days of the battles, so it may not have been the best idea." He says, sighing.

Halgon looked over his shoulder and examined Rena. The fae was a cheerful creature, too cheerful and happy for his own liking. "You're a cheerie one... Halgon is the name."
"Drogon LaArel, Cryomancer of sorts. Pleased to meat you."
Drogon put his book back in his pocket, and viewed the rest of the squad.
"Is there anyone still missing?"

"Is there anyone still missing?"
Rena thought about it before nodding her head and saying. "I guess you're right. I'm a great hunter and all but I've never tried to hurt any humans or sentient races like that before." She shrugged it off before saying. "I think I could take them on at a good range though. Not only am I a great archer, but I'm also the bestest wind Fae in the forest so my wind magic is strong!" She was putting herself on a pedestal, since she knew that Fae didn't leave the forest. What they didn't know wouldn't hurt them right? Looking to the others that introduced themselves, she said with a smile. "Nice to meet all of you! And what about me reminds you of a bug, besides my size Mr. Athgar? Us Fae are definitely different from fairies! It's like comparing an ant to a scorpion! We're definitely the better ones." She nodded her head proudly.
