Harryd nodded. "I'll have to tell my friends to break all alliance with Lazarus' group; Contrary to the old saying, an enemy of my enemy is not always my friend."

Moira stared at Nigel and Luster.
"So... What are you?" she asked bluntly, perhaps being rather rude. She felt slightly uncomfortable not knowing who or what these people were--and what they were capable of.

"We're still human." Nigel scowled. "Just born with a delicate balance of emotions. The most unfortunate part of this condition is most of us will slaughter our entire families and not even realize it before we are discovered. What we do now is listen for rumors like that and try and find children that might--"
Luster cut him off with a loud muffled cry under the hand she covered over her mouth. She collapsed on her side and seemed to be straining back some fierce spasm. Nigel's eyes widened and fell on his knees next to her and wrapped his arms around her gently and soothingly, trying to coax away the sorrow. "I...I guess I reminded her..."

Moira gasped a little.
"Did she... Did she..." She was having trouble saying the words. "...Kill her family?" The last words came out in a tiny whisper.

Nigel nodded silently and after a few tense moments Luster's spasms ceased. Still breathing heavy with strain she sat back up and sighed "Sorry...I let my guard down too easily."
"Don't be sorry it's my fault...." Nigel murmured as he leaned back on the ground and dusted himself off. "Of course I usually don't have to bring...that up...Anywho, avoiding the transformation like that takes the caliber of effort that uses mind, will and body so we'll be resting here for awhile till she's better. You'd best be on your ways..."

Moira felt quite guilty after Luster's ordeal, and she felt she could not leave the duo here. She shook her head.
"No," she said awkwardly. "Harryd and I can stay. I... I won't leave you here."
She sat down immediately on the hard ground, crossing her arms. "Does Luster need anything?" she asked matter-of-factly.

The fact that Harryd stayed was more than enough to say that he agreed with Moira, but he remained standing.

Luster shook her head bitterly and rested her head on a rock. "Nothing that you could provide me with. All I ever need or want is to be able to hate without it becoming bloodshed, or grieve and not have it become agony, or love without it becoming uncontrollable lust." She scoffed and closed her eyes stoically. "I appreciate the gesture but we've been searching for ages and have found no remedy. At least Lazarus can protect us from those who see us as monsters...

Moira nodded. "Some are simply afraid of different races... I'm afraid this is vastly due to the king and his evil ways. He has caused humans to fear anyone or anything different from them, and I think this is humanity's biggest weakness."

Nigel scoffed and stabbed a tree stump nearby. "Yes but humanity's far too stubborn to give us a chance. Even without our condition it'd be the same." He sighed and felt the pointed tip of his ear.
Luster suddenly bolted upright and froze listening carefully into their surroundings. "Something's not right...." she muttered.

Moira glanced around hurriedly but sensed nothing.
"What is it?" she asked frantically, her voice in a whisper. She was horribly afraid of being snuck up upon by the captain and his men.

Suddenly something sprang from the surrounding bushes and pounced ontop of Nigel. and grasped fast around his neck. In the poor light all that could be seen was something of a scrawny hunched boy. Nigel choked violently and Luster screamed as she whipped out her staff and smacked it clean into a tree stump. It yelped and scrambled off into the woods as fast as it came.
"Rijit." Nigel spat clawing up to his feet. "Lazarus' little hitman, one of them I should say, not the best I might add. We've got to get out of here fast..."

"Strange as it may seem," Harryd said quickly, "I think we should continue North. I have some friends there, and if Lazarus' hitman has been watching us the entire time... They could be in danger." Harryd quickly began walking north, but then stopped and looked back. "You don't have to come; I can understand if you want to get as far from Lazarus as possible."

Luster sighed as she sat back on the ground and packed along her few possesions. "We might as well. We have no idea how long Rijit was listening in..."
Nigel rubbed his neck a bit and helped her up once she was ready. "We leave immediatly. We trust you'll get us there as soon as possible...I'm sorry I don't recal your names well..."

"Harryd. This is Moira."
