--- Adventure 1 ---

"Meow , I don't like it" said Angy nervously. "It's far too big and , scary.... and it's a feline...disgusting , felines are supposed to be gorgeus , attractive creatures. I can hardly wait to get over this...erm.. thing".

"Well, then... if there isn't anything else", said Thorn, looking at Ias "we should move on. Talking about it won't make it go away."

"You're forgeting that this is an undead felix'kasha picture, I have here. I can asure you, the she-cat we're actually dealing is simply gorgeous. Just to see her eyes! And... unfortunatly... I don't think that reflection tricks would do... erm... we don't really have such wizards, as to be effective." Ias replied, closing his book.

"Wasn't reflexion part of Water as well?" Rissa asked.

"Exactly, but not of the secondary - or sub - elements, merelly one of the quasi. This means that withouth an appropriate spellcaster, it is useless. Fortunatly, it is useless for the felix'kasha as well. Not Reflexion-elemental is her base magic."

"Oh... then we should get going. We still have enough blades to kill it", finished Rissa.

"You should see the undead were..." grinned Ias.

She was sure he was bound to have a detailed story about those, too, but Rissa just shiver at the thought and never answered anything, sighing relieved when he chained away the book. Of course she knew all... atleast about her own kin... and this was a thought that actually frightened her so much, that others could see a strong will not to think about it, almost like an involuntary refuse. The horse realised he made a great gag and forgot all about it in a moment.

Thorn has started moving, threading carefully besinde the tracks the felix'kasha had left. He was still holding both the sword and the dagger ready. No Elven reverie for today. He was tense with anticipation.

Drogo inched unnoticed close to Duro'than. "Errrrrrm. Ok. Let's go then." He sighed heavily, a sure sign that he much rather prefered going in quite the opposite direction...

"These icy tracks we'll get us right where the creature went, regardless if they were left on snow or open ground. However, we should be carefull not to get lost from our path to the lost city... right, Thorn?" Ias was anxious to get to their place, rather than hunt a felix'kasha.

"They're headed straight for Shilmista". Thorn mumbled over his shoulders. Something was definitely troubling him, and it wasn't the creature itself.

"Come on little one, said Duro'than to Drogo. It is adventure time" He lifted the deer on his shoulders and began walking with a steady step behind Thorn.

"I bet your magic comes real handy during summer time, he adressed the gnome. By the looks of things we're bound for a very long road through different regions and seasons. We may just need you to cool us down. You might be a life saver. Think about it, said the barbarian with a smile"

Drogo gave a brave smile. If the guy can haul a deer on his back and set off in marching step... Well, he might just make it out alive from an encounter with a felix'kasha if he stayed close. He fondly stroke a tiny pocket of his belt, feeling the little thing within and smiled again, warm and friendly.

"Well... you know... I thought I'd start practising. Soon as I get the time. Maybe in our next camp even. Somewhere..." he blushed. "Somewhere away from..." He paused, thinking of a non-offensive ways to explain himself. "Please don't tell anyone", he then said in a hushed voice. "But... Rissa knows her magics. And Ias... he knows much more than we can guess. Thorn would just mock me till I'm reduced to tears... and Angy... I don't want to fail in front of her." He sighed heavily. "I never do anything right". He brushed his sleeve across his eyes several times.

"Well, we'll have to camp soon enough to butcher this deer. Duro'than winked and said: I'm sure we can find a way to be free from prying eyes so you can do your stuff. Don't worry about the others. I'm sure that even Thorn isn't saying all those nasty things just out pure wickedness. He has the interest of the group in mind (because it's the same interest he has he added in his mind) and wants you to be at your best"

*Here we go again.... I'm still tired..... myeah , darn my feline part. I tend to be lazy sometimes.*

Angy walked towards Duro'than and Drogo. She enjoyed their company the most.

"So , ready for some adventure?" she said to them , smiling.
