While Sylira is by far the most civilized region of Mizahar, countless surprises and encounters await the traveler in its rural wilderness. Called the Wildlands, Syliran's wilderness is comprised of gradual rolling hills in the south that become deep wilderness in the north. Ruins abound throughout the wildlands, and only the well-marked roads are safe.

A mad struggled insured between Kreig and the Benshira, and one that Fallon barely had time to react to. For despite the break out of the combat, her somewhat sluggish nature made it difficult to move. Or more over when she did try to take a step forward the world seemed to shift onto its side. She was forced to stay back and watch, before taking slow shaken steps forward. Her mind swum again, her tired and injured head now beginning to play havoc. Unlike the other two, she was not use to combat or throwing herself into the fray of battle. For she was no knight or squire, she was untrained and little more than a liability.

She watched the Benshira struggle, his head now being held under the liquid, a scream of pain before the body went limp. For a while Fallon simply stared, her mind now realising the horror that had happened. She had seen both of them kill now, both with a cold heart and an iron mind, all without mercy. For a moment she went pale, her lips trembling as she tried to comprehend what was going on. She suggested knocking the Benshira out, not killing him out right. Her stomach twisted, the screams ringing in her ears.
You’ve killed too Fallon. But that was an animal! Not a… human.
Her nostrils flared, as she tried to calm her mind. She had to keep telling herself it was either us or them, but still that nagging panic gripped her. She was not a killer.

Orvin, now free dashed towards her, frightened and startled, a yelp escaping him as he coward next to her. If the cub had hands, he would have no doubt clung to her with fear. But all the while Fallon simply stared, her mind blank of thought, the words of the others having now been lost to her. She felt Orvin tug at her trouser leg, an attempt for attention and to animate her. The sparks from the fire hit the tent; the embers of the wood for a moment dying down before it found a new source of fuel and promptly burst into flames. Silently she made herself walk, the cub following shortly behind. It would not be long now before the bandits would return, if not for the screams of the now dead Benshira, but because of the fire that flickered upon the canvas of the tent. She turned briefly to Natasha, her hand outstretched before she took her Kukri from the Knight. She checked the cold steel edge, before attaching it to her belt.

She heard Kreig’s words, but she remained silent, unable to summon words and speak to him. Her mind currently was too much of a mess for communication, before she turned her attention to the horse that Natasha spoke of. Gently she scooped up the whining Orvin, and slipped slipped him into her coat, fortunate that his size was still small enough to carry him in such a fashion. In honesty, Fallon had never ridden a horse, and nor did she ever expect to ride one. Especially in this situation. For a moment she blinked, trying to work out how to mount the creature. Yet there was now little time for thought. The shout of a bandit echoed through the air and Fallon did not waste any time after that. She scrambled up onto the back of the horse, leaving enough space for Kreig to clamber up on front, a frightened look at a bandit as it came into sight weapon drawn and charging. Escape was now the top priority. She stretched out a hand to Kreig, a despite all her fears and worries, he was still an ally.

Quite a Pickle

Postby Kreig Messer on February 8th, 2013, 12:25 pm

He made his way to the horse slowly, turning only to see Natasha now on horseback facing down a number of bandits, her longsword raised as if it were a weapon given to her by the gods and about to strike down against those who defied their will. He turned back to Fallon and took her outstretched hand and climbed to horse hastily....then promptly fell over and on his back "Owwwww.....Why?!" He asked no one in particular as he lied on his back, part of him musing that there may as well be some unseen force enjoying the fact he gets wounded so easily as he sat up and slowly attempted to climb back on the horse, his hand tightly grabbing the reigns of the horse tightly, then he heard a sound for a breif tick, a sort of whistling or whizzing sound passing by their heads followed by a thud from the direction of the tree's.


Giving a quick glance at the tree's, he saw what was the cause of the sound.... there was an arrowhead sticking into one of the tree's and he quickly turned his head he saw a bandit preparing, but fumbling with, another arrow. One of his cohorts rushing forward and trying to attack them with a shortsword "This just gets better and better, Fallon, hold on VERY VERY tightyly" Kreig said as he leaned forward, hands still on the reign but also had his arms slightly wrapped around the horses neck and shouted very loudly. The hose neighed very loudly at the startling sound that was Kreig's voice, raising up slighlty as it took off quickly. Kreig held on tightly as he could. its rapid speed making holding on to it for dear life ever the difficult task.


The density of the forest was only the honey in the mead as the lowhanging branches and the rough terrain threatened to knock them off or cause the horse to trip and fall. They were basically on a death trap that neither to control and as Kreig raised his head up slightly to get a glimpse of what was a head, the last thing he saw was low-hanging form of a branch and for him...all turned to darkness.

Quite a Pickle

For a moment Fallon glanced back at the belongings on the saddle, and hoisted up her backpack onto her back. She reached for him a second time, whilst ensuring that Orvin was safely tucked away in her coat. She glanced back for a second at the approaching bandits, of the arrows whistling through the air, before the horse bolted forward, a scream escaping from its lungs.

Hooves thundered through the air, beating against the earth in a steady rhythm. Fallon was petrified, and in her fear she clung to Kreig as the world raced past. She could barely get a firm grip on him, her head burrowed into his back. On too many occasions she could have been flinged off, to fall to the ground in a heap of pain and bruises. Yet as they charged away, the shouts and cries of battle growing fainter drowning out into the silence of the trees. But the horse showed no sign of slowing, and if anything it seemed to gain speed.

But then the world changed. With speed she felt herself being thrown back, the weight of Kreig matched with her bag throwing her off the horse. For a moment she was simply suspended in the air, her arms open before she slammed into the ground. An instant after she felt the weight of Kreig land on her. She gave a gasp, matched with a cry of pain into the silent forest, her mind growing faint as the skeletal trees circled above. Gently she forced herself to move, stretching out her legs and arms, flexing her fingers in an attempt to move. She felt her feet move, a brief flash of pain coming from her sides as she did. She tried to rise, a weak attempt to push herself back up, a grunt escaping her lips. But it was not enough, and so Fallon Skylar simply buckled under her dizzy mind and weakness, before letting her own mind spin away to nothing.
