Elliot walked along the edge of the forest, examing it. It was obvious that several animals lurked inside nearby, eager to find Elliot alone in their territory. He looked down at the bag of Animal-Repellant orbs. There was enough of them to ensure a pretty long trip around the forest. But if there was a higher-leveled monster out there.... Elliot shook his head. If there was a monster that could withstand the Repellant, he'd just have to run away.

Darishan was outside once again, and surprisingly enough approaching the forest. Some people might think it was extraordinarily stupid to go back into a forest that only luck got you out of the day before, but he wasn't particularly worried about it. He was always pushing his luck, and he wasn't dead yet. (Or was he? *weird finger waving* lol) But he was surprised to see Elliot walking around the edge. "What are you doing here?" he asked curiously.

Elliot looked back at Darishan, seemingly not surprised to see his roommate there, "I'm planning on exploring the Woods. There clearly is something in there us students aren't supposed to know of, and I want to know what it is."

Darishan looked into the murky depths of the woods. Something they weren't supposed to know? More than likely they just didn't want the students to get mauled. Still, it was worth a try. Just about anything was worth a try. Elliot would die if he went in there alone, no doubt, and then he'd probably be paired with an even more annoying roommate. "I'll go with you," he said.

Elliot nodded wordlessly, and talked into straight nothingness, "I know. Just send another bag of repellant to the Dark Forest." Then took a step back. A large bird materialized infront of him, handing him a purple bag. Elliot handed the bag out fo Darishan, "It's extremely strong beast repellant. You better take it- it cost me 60 sp."

Darishan took the bag. "You can take the points out of my score," he said. Placing the bag in his pocket, he looked at the forest again. "Let's go."

Putting the bag in the palm of his hand, he shouted something that came out quite muffled in the sudden wind. Nevertheless, the orb sunk into his hand, his success in activating it apparant. Elliot looked back at Darishan, "I'd say start your first orb." He nodded towards the burning eyes in the forest.

"Got it," Darishan murmured, activating his as well. They were in all readiness not to die.

Elliot took the first step into the Forest, enveloped by the neverending darkness instantly. As the low growls of the beasts of the woods surrounded him, he nervously turned back to see if Darishan was comming.

Darishan followed Elliot, his almost white eyes lighting up almost like a flashlight automatically in the darkness. He couldn't help it, that just happened. "Do you have any destination in mind?"

Elliot nodded, "Around the center. I found a map of the woods earlier, and I saw that the center of the woods was burned out. Pretty cleché, huh? Er, can I assume you see perfectly in the dark? We'd move a lot faster. I can see due to being part wolf."

Darishan shrugged. "I can see enough." And so they continued into the dark trees.

A snarling beast entered their path, but stayed away at what seemed to be a ten foot radius. Feeling safer, Elliot walked farther into the woods, the intense black only seeming to get darker.

Darius saw two go in, then he decided to also, though it was mainly for hunting purposes. He killed a wolf earlier on and cut out it's pituitary gland, so he'd smell like any other wolf to any other animal, a secret he'd learned from a good friend back in Tekken'tal. He walked into the woods silently, turning invisible as he did, for it helped. He crouched low and started walking, avoiding twigs and leaves to make no sound, his mark was some sort of big beast. Mainly a minotaur or forest dragon. The bow he had packed in his sack was firmly gripped in his hand, the quiver of scale arrows strapped to his back. He looked ahead and wondered how the two were avoiding the beasts by walking like that, straight up and erect, thier eyes showing no respect for the beasts. They're going to get eaten one of these days. You need to get low and level with them, otherwise they don't like you.
He continued walking on, keeping pace with the other two.

The forest started trembling, as trees were suddenly ripped out of the earth and flung away, replaced by an enormous, black jagged-tooth creature. It resembled a Dragon, yet something about it seemed off. Snarling, it walked over to Elliot and Darishan, but stopped short. elliot nodded to Darishan, "The repellant is extremely strong since we put it on. Lucky for us... That thing's the Forest guardian, one of the several around that protect that lands. It's invulnerable. Let's get out of here before he becomes immune to the Repellant." As Elliot ran through the trees away, the creature made a move as if to follow him, then stopped and turned back. Noticing Darius, he stepped in front of him and spoke, "Get out of My Forest unless you want to die a horribly painful death."
