The snake recoiled as the vapor around her began to increase in density. It pressed on her lungs; made her feel sluggish. Hissing with rage, the snake sprung up into the air, sprouting feathers and wings. She shrunk in size until finally she took the form of a small brown sparrow, who fell pitifully to the ground and stopped moving.
The bird's black eyes had returned to their normal green color; Willow was back.

A slow clap emanated from the shadows as a man wearing a uniform of the Kingdom's upper crust military force came into view. He was a tall, elvish, lean figure with a cat-like gait, hair was black, and his face a bit serious, though it showed a bit of enthusiasm. "Well Done. It seems that fate has brought us all together. Allow me to introduce Myself. I am General Eladriel Seraphim of his majesties army." He knew the oddness of his appearance would likely cause some to doubt his intentions, so he said straight out, "I was sent here to investigate the disappearance of an entire city. But it seems like it is not entirely deserted, as you all are here. Perhaps...Would you know what happened to the rest of this place?"

Willow returned to human form, and wiped the grit from her face. She was covered in dirt, and now that she was human again, her arm continued to bleed where she had attacked herself previously. She looked to the newcomer with disdain, how could he come here and say something like that in a time like this? "What are you, bolloxed?" she called angrily, "Ireland doesn't have a 'majesty'!" taking a moment to spit out some extra dirt, Willow continued, "Oi! And it's a town, not a city!" she shook her head, "Frikkin' buzzies."
She picked herself up and stumbled unsteadily toward the girl again, not willing to give up just yet.

"Hmhm. Silly little woman. You assume things way over your head to comprehend," Eladriel replied. "You see, I did not mention who his majesty was, not the realm in which he lords over. Your assumption is correct, I assure you, but there is no need to be so violently hasty." He looked at the girl she faced and went serious. "I see... A Youkai. Seems the rumors were based on some fact after all. There is likely more to be found, but it seems we have to take care of this right now." He stepped forward, his boots making slight clicking sounds as they scuffed along the ground. "Milady, I would ask you to withdraw with your companions. This is not going to be a sight for your eyes, and above that, you are wounded. It would be in your best interest to regroup elsewhere, and attend to your wounds."

Willow's face pinched up as she snarled; her eyes seemed to darken as she took another step forward, threatening the position in which he stood. "Shut it, buzzie! You've got no right t' search this town if you're not from Ireland! Up the yard!" At his comment to treat her wounds, she covered her arm with her hand and shoved it out of her way, eyes narrowing.

"Buzzie? Now that is a new one that I haven't heard. Hm. Must be some snide comment about the military forces around here. But be that as it may," The calm man stated while emanating a small chuckle, unaffected by the woman's vicious behaviorism. "As for me leaving, I do not intend to do so. As for my rights to search the premise, I have none. But it would be in your best interests to aid me in this. I have vital information about the current situation that might be useful in the times to come but unless I deem it necessary, that information is classified." He watched her take a step forward again and sighed. "At the very least, wrap your wound in SOMETHING. Your more of a hindrance to your companions if you keep suffering of blood loss."

Willow stood up straight again, pondering at what he had said. She couldn't help but chuckle at his inference of what 'buzzie' meant; it was far from the actual meaning. She clenched her fists and held her bleeding arm up for display. "I don't know if your eyes can really see, but I'm a little empty handed at the moment; I don't have anything to wrap it with." she dropped her arm to her side again.
"If you can help us; that would be greatly appreciated. But if you can't, I sugggest you leave and go back to whatever bog you came from."

"Bog? Now, What ever would make you think I came from a bog? You are an odd one," He questioned as he tilted his head to the side and leaned it against an up-raised finger. He reached to his side, opening a small pouch and digging through its contents as he kept his eyes trained on the Youkai. He tossed back at her a wrap of medical tape, stretching his fingers and slipped on a pair of white gloves with the shape of a star within a circle. It was a common sign among elemental bearers. But there was something different about these ones. Around the first circle, there was a second, the sign of a second element he controlled. But it didn't stop there. There was a third, a fourth, and a fifth. According to the gloves, he claimed Mastery of all five elements. He smiled. "Yes, I think I would like to join this little defense. There is more to be learned when traveling in groups such as this."

Willow took the medical tape regretfully, scowling as she wrapped it around her arm. When she was finished, she threw the tape back at him, hoping he would miss it. "Shut up now," Willow said, "Enough blathering." she flexed her arm, disliking how the tape made it feel; but she was now ready to try and save Suwako.
((gotta go now))

Not even bothering to look back, he felt the pomp of the tape striking the back of his head. These people were indeed oddities. Some thanks he got for being about to save their asses. Though after being told that they were saving someone, it caused him to reassess his situation. He would have to be a lot more careful. He raised his hand, as it was poised to snap his finger, but refrained as he looked at the Youkai.

Sayomi seized the moment's detractions Willow had provided and brought her elbow down on Rumia's shoulder; hard. She wrapped her fingers around Suwako's uninjured arm and jerked her back, behind her. Her wings then spread, obscuring the injured girl from view. Sayomi brought her daggers up, standing in a stance that resembled that of a boxer's.
"Ay, leave her alone. Finish what you started." Sayomi flicked her wrist, sending the dagger flying towards Rumia with deadly accuracy.

A black tendril spouted out of the shadows deflecting the daggers
suddenly the towns bell tolled and rang out
"Aww is play time over?" Rumia pouted "Well have to play again real soon, I was just starting to have fun" She stated sinking into the shadows as the town became brighter as if Rumia too the darkness with her as she left

Willow straightened as the girl dissappeared. The whole town seemed to grow lighter; Willow could finally think straight again, although there seemed to be a chunk missing from her thoughts. What was it?
She struggled forward, skidding on her knees as she fell next to Suwako. "We should all get back to the inn," she suggested, "Too many of us are hurt, and I don't want to run in with that girl again."

Watching the Youkai go, He chuckled inwardly, pulling off his gloves and pushed them in his pockets. He dusted his hands off and proceeded in the direction of the Inn. It was likely that they might have questions for him, and his purpose. He would, of coursem tell them as much as he knew, unless it was on a need to know basis. And right now, they did not need to know what he sispected to be the case.
