"I [b]am[/b] the tracker. Without me you'd never find them...."
Artemis stated as she turned to leave, Lyn following her closely.
"I guess you're not wrong." Lyn commented.

"And I'd never get my reward! The whole trip would be a bust, a shame! But alas! You are here!" He followed the pair with the same grin, this time showing his teeth. Along they went, and he hummed a strange tune, one of highs and lows. The tune of a snake charmer, found once upon the old earth. He seemed to skip along with the group, giddy with excitement.
-
~~~~~~Sometime later~~~~~~~ The trio had arrived at the forests and were already a good distance in before Artemis jumped up onto a branch randomly. "Alright, we should start climbing. Some of the beasts out here aren't exactly friendly and it'll be easier to spot the hounds from up here."
-
"Hm..." Tyrian thought for a moment, before deciding that trying to climb the tree while holding his staff was useless. So instead, he pointed it at the ground, and a gust of wind launched him fourth feet in the air to the fight branch he could reach. "Alright, though don't expect me to be too fast with this stuff..."

-
"Take your time." Artemis leaped up the whole tree in a single bound somehow. Lyn however had to climb branch by branch.
-
Deciding that wasting his magical ability now would be a bad move, he chose to follow the sword woman's example, scaling the tree with little effort. Climbing the mountains was harder. With his staff on his back, there was little to deter him from acting monkey-like, and soon reaching the top. "C'mon, Lady! That wolf is gonna beat us!"
-
Artemis was already at the top, sitting impatiently when Lyn and the mage finally got all the way up. "Took you two long enough, slowpokes." Artemis said, laughing.
-
"Hey! For a normal human, I did [i]good![/i]" Tyrian crossed his arms and looked across the dense forest, frowning for once at its sheer size and darkness. "Say, you got that scent? We're gonna need it... Well, that and a way [i]out[/i] too."
-
Artemis sighed and nodded. "Just because I'm a wolf girl doesn't mean I have a scent....But I do have the scent. I also know the way out because I live in this forest."
-
"Ah! Then that works out perfect. Just... Don't leave us behind, yeah?" He pulled the staff off of his back, and out of the robes that he tied it up in so it wouldn't fall. It might be a useful glancing tool on the smaller branches.
-
"Fiiine! Let's go." Artemis started heading out, jumpiiing tree to tree. Lyn attempted to follow.
-
"Tch. Dang Wolf gonna leave us behind. Lyn! Keep up if you can!" Tyrian began jumping as well, though there was an obvious lack of speed and power behind them compared to Artemis. What he did have was balance, landing on every branch and stabilizing himself in seconds.
-
Lyn kept right behind Tyrian, easily keeping up with his speed. Artemis stopped running ahead after already almost being out of sight. "Why so slow?!" "Because not all of us are wolf girls!"
-
"Maybe you should slow yourself down a bit, yeah? I'm working up a sweat, and I haven't seen a monster anywhere..." It was true, too much excessive and jumping around would tire anyone out. That said, he also needed to save his energy for the fight ahead.
-
Artemis sighed and nodded. "Sorry, I forget not everyone can run around like I can." "Have to try and be more considerate, Arty." Lyn wasn't tiring much, despite the fact she couldn't move as fast as Artemis she had the endurance.
-
"Mhm... The real question is when those monsters are coming out. I have time, but I'd hope to get hope before dark. Take a nap." Tyrian shrugged, and leap from beach to beach to catch up to the now stopped Artemis.
-
Artemis observed her surroundings before turning back to the man. "Shouldn't be much further. No worries, you'll be home in time for dinner, my friend."
-
"Let's hope monster meat tastes good..." Tyrian grumbled to himself, most of the trip had been climbing and jumping. Nothing fun enough for his taste. [quote]1500/1500 mana, 200 restored. [/quote]
-
~~~[i]Sometime later...[/i]~~~ The group stood before a large clearing in the woods. Hundreds of hell hounds were gathered below them, an extra large alpha at the center. "Well, that's more than expected."
-
"Hm... Well you're lucky you have me! I give those small ones a good 10, the Alpha might be a 25..." Tyrian raised his staff in the air, the green ball on top glowing slightly. "If you can kill the Alpha and protect me, I might be able to clear this area out."
-
Artemis shrugged and walked to the very edge. "I've got this, you kill'em all after I take down the alpha...." She jumped off the ledge, falling towards the alpha.
-
Willing to comply, he shouted after her, with concern. "They won't die right away! It'll take awhile!" Being so gung-ho might get Artemis killed. Such a shame, considering that she didn't seem like a bad person.
-
Lyn sighed. "She's dead." Artemis slammed her knee into the top dog's face. This ony angered the creature as it snarled at the far smaller girl. The beast lunged forward with its jaws open to bite only for Arty to sprint towards it and slide underneath at the last second, kicking the creature in the stomach.
-
Deciding he couldn't wait any longer, considering the smaller dogs were no paying attention to Artemis, he spoke to Lyn. "I know we are up in trees, but I need you here, with me. Make sure nothing gets past." Tyrian raised his staff, and the orb glowed with a bright green light. Suddenly, hundreds of magical tendons shot out at the dogs, connecting them to the crystal. [quote]Dog Venom Resistance: 1/10[/quote] It was soon clear that they were getting tired and exhausted, as if they had been running for days.
-
Artemis continued to punch and kick the alpha, fighting it one on one in the middle. Meanwhile; dozens of the hounds snarled up at the duo still in the tree. The dogs began attempting to run up the trunk, not making much progress at first. "Oh, fun...." Lyn sighed, pulling out her sword.
-
[i]Sayero[/i] He whispered something, and the dogs would find themselves in excruciating pain as more of the magical venom seeped into the their blood. [quote]Venom counter: 7/10 1400/1500 mana[/quote] It seemed that the man had a knack for taking out large groups of weaker enemies. Soon, he whispered something else under his breath, as the dogs began climbing up. His body caused an updraft of wind, blowing the robes all around for a second and dying down.
