"You were wa-wandering...like Kishen..?" he meekly comes out of the bushes and happens to be face to face with the young man. He sees the berries, lets out a scream, and swats them away. "Bad berries!" and then he returns back to his shy state. His eyes scan the human with interest, taking note that he seems to be some sort of adventurer, alright. "It's okay, Kishen gets scared easily. Kishen is okay now."
He tries to mimic the sitting position of the other person, and with some difficulty is successful. Wide-eyed and curious, he asks, "What's your name?"

"Kishen...is that your name?" He asks, jumping when he swats away the berries. Xephras smiles as he says he's alright already, he looks a bit at him. "My name is Xephras"

"Oh, you're a cute one, aren't you?" Luca said rather flirtatiously. He always liked the somehow serious, confident type. But then, he realized that Druren at night wasn't the time for this kind of discourse. "I would definitely allow you passage--if I could, but it's the forest himself that ultimately decides. I may guide you through it, if you desire." He made a small sweep of his arm, and at that, the tiny grasses of the forest swayed rather gracefully.

"If you may, then we shall follow, sire," Valandil nodded, looking somewhat defeated- or maybe that's just me.
Fiorex looked at the man leading them curiously, then he looked at Valandil questioningly. The elf just rolled his eyes. I don't think Fiorex can understand sign language that well either, though. Shifting Collete into a better position on his back, he followed them both.

The Lumin nods. "Yes, Kishen is Kishen's name." he says with a toothy grin. He then points to the berries with a serious face. "Those berries are bad, they killed other people before, so Kishen doesn't want you to eat them."
He tilts his head when the young man told him his name. "Xe...Xe...pha...Xephra..." he pouts for a moment and tries again. "Xe...phra-s..?" the Wiken then shakes his head, seemingly frustrated. "Kishen not good with pro-pru-prunun...pro-noun-cing..." he utters the last word slowly as if struggling to say it properly. "So, so Xe...Xephras is lost too?"

"Haha alright, Kishen..thank you for informing me about the berries.." He says, with a smile. He chuckles at Kishen's attempt at pronouncing his name, but he understands, not many people can pronounce his name. "Yes I guess I am lost as well.." he says, looking up, trying to see what time it is. "How about you Kishen? Are you lost?" he asks, looking back at him.

As the Druren Wiken unleashed the aperture of the Dark land to guide the Feline Wiken, a stranger approached them. "Hello!" The stranger's voice purred. It was quite dark but she emerged from the shady groves, slowly revealing a woman's body wearing what it seems to be a mage's attire. "Is there room for one more? I really need to pass through, please Mr. Wiken?" The woman pleaded to the Guiding Wiken.

[Random Event]
Loud noises, specifically horns are being blown from all areas. All of the Wiken Territory started shouting an unusual countdown.
"DIXZEHN! NEUFN! HUIACT! SEPBEN! SISECHS! CINF! QUVIER! TREI! DEUREI! UNIN!"
A large stream of fireworks are blown in all areas. Explosions of many colors jolt out to the skies as they light up every single firework they have.
It's New Year. Soon after the fireworks, the Druren will be completely foggy.

[The mysterious stranger's view]The fireworks illuminated the dark night sky, not as much as how constant the stars brighten the dark plane. "Oh it's new years already?" The Woman whispered to herself. "How fast time flies..." Suddenly she coughed for a bit. She covered her mouth swiftly with her hand. After she's better she glanced at the palm; there was a small speck of blood. "hrm, I must get through here, fast..." She awaits the Wiken's response.

"Well then, please come with me." Started Luca. He waved his hand and the trees bowed to him, an arch seemingly produced over a clearing. He did not note the fireworks, they seemed to be part of Verde's festivities.
He turned around to assess the odd group of people he was accompanying. "And where are you going, if I may ask? At this time of the night...." Well, it was always night in Druren, what just mattered was whether or not it was True Night.

"My companion and I are taking a boat to Lenaria, as we have business there," he took a glance at Fiorex and Collete. "...As well as to bring this young lady home."
Bright lights in the sky sparked in delight as cheers could be heard in a far away distance. It was Verde's annual new year celebration. Who knew time flew so fast? Fiorex gazed at the woman in front of him. She was dressed in something similar to a sorceress' robe, and at first sight, Fiorex instantly found her suspicious. Now look here, Fiorex is a really friendly guy, talking to everyone and stuff, but at times like these... Well, he doubts too, you know. She asked if she could come with them. Fiorex contemplated on the question, wondering whether to trust the girl or not. Before he could say anything, Valandil called for him.
"Fiorex, move your feet, we must move quickly," he said in his usual serious, low tone of voice.
Fiorex hadn't a clue whether to oblige the lady to come or just follow like he did before. Valandil glared at him with cold eyes.
"Do you wish to speak to strangers, Fiorex?" a voice rang into the feline's head, "Do you wish to bathe in this darkness forever?"
Fiorex directed his attention to the elf walking in front of him, silver hair illuminating underneath the twinkling lights and booming noises, and furrowed his brows.
"Move."
Fiorex did not accept the woman's request. However, he did not reject it, either, and allowed her to follow at her will if she desired to.

Collete wakes up in her childhood room; everything is where it should be. She grabs her favorite bow and walks out of her room quietly, so her parents wont wake up. As soon as she's out of the house, she runs to the nearby forests of Lenaria to play around. She tumbles and twirls around, shooting arrows at the targets her father placed for her. She stops and sees a small rabbit, thinking she could hunt it, she chases after it, straying from the path entirely. She soon finds herself deep within Wiken Territory, but she doesn't know this. Completely oblivious to her surroundings, she tries, in vain, to find the rabbit. Giving up, after a few moments, she begins shooting at random areas. She hears a cry of pain; thinking it was the rabbit, she rushes towards the sound and finds, not the rabbit, but the corpses of her parents. The sky turns to an eerie dark, as the winds whisper to her ears.
"Murderer..."
The cold takes over, as the winds encircle her, its whispers, getting louder, and louder. Collete doesn't know what to do, she doesn't know what she can do. The only thing that processed in her mind was to scream. And scream she did.
Collete screams, she doesn't know why she's screaming, or what is happening. She just gives a piercing scream that echoes through the dark forest.
"NO! NO! I'M NO MURDERER!!"
She pushes at Fiorex, her eyes closed, but filled with tears. She falls on the floor, sobbing and shaking. You can hear her murmuring to herself the words 'no'. As if to reassure her that it wasn't real.

"Wow... Calm down, missy." Luca comments. "I may have some calming chamomile tea here, would you want some?" Luca takes a wooden bowl from the inside of a tree. It is surprisingly filled up with some fragrant tea. He offers it to the Lenarian woman.

"Oi, Collete!" Fiorex cried before he held his back. He didn't realize how long he'd been carrying her. God, his back was aching.
He looked at the girl lying on the floor, sobbing uncontrollably. Valandil stopped abruptly, looking behind him.
"So, the young Lenarian finally woke up, hm?" Valandil eyed Collete as she whimpered on the muddy, yet grassy surface of the forest floor, "I suppose that means it is time for a quick rest."
"Aw' dear god, please," Fiorex replied, plopping himself on the ground beside Collete, his back aching in pain.

She could hear other voices. Voices she recognized, and a voice she didnt. It didnt matter to her though, that nightmare was over, and the cruel whispers are gone. With shaking hands, she uncovers her eyes and sees a portion of her nightmare come true. She finds herself in a dark forest, with very little to no light. She gasps at the vision before her. She looks around and sees Fiorex, slumped near her; some other Wiken Female(?), offering her a cup of tea, she assumes; and Valandil, staring at her with that look that stabs her heart with fear.
"What... What happened? Where are we?" She whispers to Fiorex.
