The Outbreak! (Job/Lynn)

Every wound will shape me,

Ardere watched as two dogs bolts out of the building, one went straight for Tane and leaped onto her. The fire mage went to help, but the other dog was charging him. Sliding against the wall, he put his blade out to stop the dog. In a power struggle with it for a few moments, he sliced through the dog. Kicking it backwards, he plunged his blade right into it's back to finish it off. Wiping a bit of sweat off of his forehead, he went to check on his partner. You alright? Offering to help her along, he looked around to see if anything was in the area, and nothing was. The two dead dog bodies were left rotting in the streets, as if they already weren't. Sheathing his sword, he took a slightly deep breath. It was already late and night, and it was only getting later. Let's head back to the camp, see if anything turned up. Walking back the way he came, the sabertooth mage was under the assumption that there will still more to be investigated. They had dealt with the enemies that had taken out the Rune Knights, but whatever plague or magic this was wouldn't stop just by having minions killed. The city was vast, and it would take a little while to get back to the camp at the edge of the ruins. Stretching his arms, he looked around the city, none of his senses told him an enemy was coming. It seemed they had dealt with the brunt of this seemingly endless force, but he was still unsure of the cause. They would have to report back, and perhaps get some reinforcements. As strong as they were, they needed more intel. Two Sabertooth mages were not enough for this mission, and even if they were they would have to discuss it with their superiors. If there was a cure for this thing, someone back home would know. Perhaps there was a magic that could stop this, but either way he made his way back towards the camp.

Every wound will shape me,

Walking through the town, Ardere grimaced slightly at the bodies and the blood. Sighing slightly, he unhooked the straps on his back, and took it off. After wearing the sword on his back for so long, it was beginning to be a bit of a pain. After a while they would reach the camp to find it as they left it, still covered in blood and weapons. Looking around a bit, he still saw nothing. We've beaten what we can, but we need to head back for reinforcements or some more info. There's too much going on here we don't know, but I appreciate your help so far. Now let's go home. Nodding to his partner, he clutched his sword while in it's straps still and made his way out of the ruins. Looking back for a few moments, he stared into the abyss of the once great city. Darkness was in that city, and he planned to get rid of it when he came back. Whatever plague, sickness, or dark magic was here he would get rid of it. Twirling the sword a bit, he huffed slightly. There was a bit of disappointment even after this, he wished he could have gotten down to the bottom of it and saved those people, but he couldn't. He had to get stronger before he came back, and do some studying. I'll be back, I swear it. He whispered into the night, as he ventured back into the woods. He wondered what Hika would think of this story when he got back and told it to her, she would probably want to come along and make everything go boom. It almost made him smirk a bit, the thought of that. But he was too serious about this mission, it was no joke. Being a fun guy, he tried to see the bright side, but people were killed for no reason and he couldn't stand by that. Perhaps it was some sort of habit he kept from his time in the Rune Knights, but whatever it was he would keep it.
