Estrik walked into the dark forest, feeling the life all around him, with his hood completely pulled over his face, down to his mouth. He was still wearing his usual attire, his Seer Armor, his gloves, and lest we not forget his staff. There was a cool breeze in the air, and accompanied by calls of birds and other animals.
He found a nice rooted tree, although he could not tell what kind it was, he knew it had plenty of life, and stuck the sharp end of his staff in the trunk, jumped up on to it, and sat down, waiting for Angelus to show up to start this mission while chowing down on a pickle, one of nature's greatest creations.

((Pickles are cucumbers.... that have been soaking in vinegar... pickled cucumbers. So a pickle would be mankind's greatest alteration of one of nature's creation. just saying...))
Insects crawled along the trunk of the tree, looking somewhat like centipedes with several rows of clear wings as well, they were large, about the length of Estrik's forearm, thier antennae moving this way and that as they winded about, poisonous pincers on thier mouths.
The screeching of some bird sounded above in the canopy, the flapping of wings heavy through the foliage as it took off into flight, light trickled down to the floor, the insects on the tree darted away from where the direct sunlight lay and leaves tumbled through the air to the forest floor like faeries dancing through descent from the heavens.

Crow walked into the Dark forest, not having an Idea where to look... until he saw Estrik. He walked over to him and tapped him on the shoulder with his sword, hoping not to startle him. "I guess your in the forest the same reason I am, to find the boy?" Crow said to Estrik as he re-sheathed his sword. "It seems easy enough, but I don't expect it to be."

((Well, man is created by nature so indirectly nature created pickles!))
"Yeah, I am. Things aren't always as easy as they seem though," he said, his butt still firmly planted on his staff, continuing to eat his pickle. After he had swallowed a huge bite he began to talk again, "But I'm waiting for Angelus, and I suggest you do the same, things would be much easier with three than two." He ate the last bite of his pickle and wiped his hands off with each other, and then hopped off his staff and removed it from the trunk and then leaned against the large tree still waiting for Angelus to arrive.

Angelus walked slowly through the forest. His frayed cloak drifted inches off the ground. He quickly peered in every direction, looking for the boy he was hoping to find. Soon, he came to meet Estrik and Crow.
"Hey guys," he said in a chipper tone, "you haven't seen a young boy running around have you?"

"Well, we were waiting for you to start!" he said, with his own eager tone. He got off the tree and began to head into the forest, pushing away tree branches, bushes, etc.," So, let's get a move on!" he yelled, already beginning his trek into the forest where light from the sky seldom falls, and where it did, it was scarce. His staff was now strapped to the holder on his back, seeing as this forest was brimming with life and not just a desolate wasteland, he wouldn't really be needing it, unless he was attacked.

((uhh...how does Estrik know Angelus was coming? They never talked about it before))
Angelus gave a distinguished "hmm" and began to follow Estrik through the dark forest. He felt a little uncomfortable with a blind boy leading him through the forest. Angelus quickly sprinted ahead of Estrik and took the lead.

A creature darted past Angelus, looking almost to have a canine's body, but it's snout was certainly more like that of a boar's, tusks coming from the sides of it's mouth. Long claws gouged holes in the dirt at it's feet and it looked at the group from the corner of it's vision before dissapearing again, gone for all the group knew.
Another rustle came from the forest, in the same direction where the first creature came, only it was spread out- several animals. They burst from the undergrowth, several lizard-like creatures with hooked, beaked mouths that were perhaps no taller than a housecat. They stood on thier hindlegs and thier tails were ended with an array of brown feathers, one though was slightly larger with deep azure feathers. The turned, changing thier path as they saw the students, seeing them as easier prey than the obviously quick pig-dog thing they were chasing earlier.

(( Dan, you wouldn't want us leaving without you would you? I know, you were gonna make Angelus sneak up on us to look cool, well It was a job given to us, so we know you were coming. Not to mention, Crow and Estrik are seers, they would know even if they weren't told XD ))
Crow followed in back, keeping the rear if the line. Crow enjoyed being in the back, he always seemed to care for his friends more then himself. This was a good way to keep an eye on them. He noticed Angelus's Expression when he saw Estrik leading, and Crow watched him sprint to the head. Angelus was cocky, and gave Estrik no credit. "Estrik can sense more then we can Angelus, I suggest you let him lead the way. I'll watch the back, you just stay on your guard." He said drawing out his sword.
He noticed and heard Creatures running around and behind them... It was a good Idea to be ready for anything. He reached out and found Estrik's mind with his own. He sent a message telepathically.
Estrik, I know you notice the creatures around us, but don't make any sudden movements. We could hunt them if anything, and there probably is no need for alarm. Just go on about our business.

Angelus quickly pulled out his staff when the creatures turned their direction towards them. He glanced over his shoulder when he heard Crow. "Hey Crow, I might be able to sense less, but it doesn't take much to sense that these creatures are going to attack us."
Angelus charged forward with his staff in his left hand. As he ran forward, he shot multiple blasts of air at the creatures with his right hand. Hopefully, Estrik and Crow would aid him.

Crow walked up to Estrik, who had not moved from his normal pace yet. Crow placed a hand on his shoulder, and said softly, "Why do we even bother?" He asked, then watched Angelus fire wild shots into the pack of Animals.

The blue feathered one lowered itself to the ground, tiny claws gripped the earth to keep from getting whisked away and it croaked angrily, revealing it's rows of sharp teeth as it snarled, making it's way towards Angelus and all the creatures focused thier efforts on the one who seemed the most violent- that being Angelus. A few of them shook slightly, standing on one place and then the sound of a rattle of sorts came into the air and the screeching of more creatures sounded in the forest. Yeah, umm... not so much of a safe place to be right now if you happened to be fighting. Some of the creatures opened thier mouths slightly as if panting before they looked up at Angelus, a thin stream of liquid shot from glands at the side of it's mouth, spattering out in all directions, blown away by the wind at the trees as well as Estrik and Crow, a drop of the liquid landed on one of the insects and it screeched from the pain as it dropped from the tree, a decent sized hole where the liquid- apparently an acid -had dropped. Estrik and Crow better find somewhere to get away from the acidic poison and it'd be best if Angelus stoped using wind magic so much. (disable everyone one power at a time, thankee very much! Angelus just indirectly put everyone in danger! Just like how nature indirectly made pickles! Have fun, everyone!)

Crow watched as the acid came flying toward them. Although Crow was not sure if the substance was harmful for not, he raised his hand and controlled the liquid. It stopped in mid air, and started to form together. Crow closed his fist, and made the shape of a small ball, then flattened out into the shape of a small arrow-head. Crow aimed at the largest creature, and shot the acid directly back at him. He gave Angelus a quick glare, and then looked at Estrik. "Looks like it's time Esrtik, show us some of that blind power!" Crow said, not meaning for the untimely pun...
(( Got to get More Creative Liz XD ))

((I'll do just that, Crow! Lol))
More of the little creatures came through the forest, darting through the lush undergrowth and weaving between various other creatures as they reached the group, there was almost a carpet of them now over the ground and they snarled at Crow. The blue feathered one flashed it's eyes wide and several more ones identical to itself formed on the crowded forest floor, each one giving off an equal life signature, used for evading larger predators in the forest... speaking of larger predators- the smaller creatures made an error in thier attack, by summoning thier numbers to one place they likely attracted more unwanted attention. The acid arrow which had been shot at the blue feathered creature hit another one instead but didn't seem to do any damage, beading and rolling off it's hide which was apparently tougher than expected.

(( Aww It's on Now! ))
"Angelus, We're gonna need to find a way to kill these things, they wont do much damage alone, but if they keep multiplying like Mexicans, we'll be over run soon enough!" Crow shouted as he ran forward pulling out his hunting knife. He threw his sword down upon one, hoping to Perice it's skin, and hurled his knife at the larger one.
