After having managed to get through the gate West stopped to catch his breath and take in the surrounding area, the two human’s he’d seen not to long ago were nowhere to be seen likely didn’t waste any time getting clear of the gate since they had clearly were done with whatever they had been doing before. Once West caught his breathe, he looked at his shadow and spoke up “well lass we’re safe, welcome to the island and the village, we’ll stay here while I check on any possible work, and if need be we’ll head to the castle in the north and check for work there, this town is quite safe and are a friendly lot” West started walking down the street towards the Tavern his pace was casual at this point his sword returned to its sheathe. West laughed boisterously as he walked “ahh, this town is quite a place, there are few places in the world that can compare to this town, the mainland for the human’s can be quite a dangerous place for our kind of people so it is always nice when human’s do show some kindness” West stopped when he heard someone “HEY WEST!” West looked in the direction of the voice a man walking towards them “Well hello Ron, what can I do for you?” the man stopped by them and replied “nothing much more surprised to see you back so soon, we didn’t expect you for at least another week or two” West nodded and replied “ah yes, well work dried up sooner than expected and a bit of trouble ensued when my companion here and myself were leaving” Ron seemed concerned and replied “everything alright?” West nodded “oh yes we’re fine but seems the village over there is under new management but outside of that it is the same as usual loud, rowdy and full of death around every corner” Ron sighed and relief and replied “well that’s true but hopefully it doesn’t spill over to here” West shook his head and replied “not likely lad as you know that spell over the island seems to keep them lot over there and everyone here safe so I wouldn’t worry” Ron nodded and smiled “alright well I’ll let you go on your way, stop by the market later tomorrow might have some work that needs doing” West nodded and replied “of course I’ll stop by first thing tomorrow morning, you take care lad” at that Ron left and West continued on walking towards the tavern.

╀ ╁ ╂M o c h i ۞ S a v a g e╀ ╁ ╂ Once they were in the clear and away from the village that seemed to be under siege by a new order, The Shadowling couldn't help but remain quiet within her friends shadow. it's for the best, and while the sun remained out, probably the safest bet to remain in his shadow until she can hide under a different cover. When her friend spoke to her, she peered her head out from the shadow, from her nose down- remained hidden, while her forehead and eyes were exposed, well, she did have her cowl up to block out the sun. His words were optimistic which gave Mochi some hope that it isn't all bad, that it does get better. This was words of encouragement she needed to hear. Hopefully they do find work to help them along the way, at least until they reach their final destination. When a different voice shouted out her friends name, the Shadowling quickly sunk bank in his shadow, and only listened to the conversation. But when West addressed her, she went back to peering out from his shadows, with her glowing eyes. She was a bit shy, but also had spoke to much in the last town, with her rotten luck, other Shadowling's or demons might have heard her tone, and would soon be on the hunt. It's best to remain silent for now.
As West continued onward toward the tavern, Mochi wondered if West knew everyone from this town, as he knew the person from earlier. She also wondered who he was, or if he might be famous? A renowned adventurer? I made her curiosity grow, but it also made her concerned as to what if he was leading her back to her old pack? What if this kindness was a front and he's really evil? Then again...If he was as bad as her anxiety is making her think, wouldn't he have turned her in in the last town? And why would he also be running from them if he was a bad guy? Thinking this reassured Mochi that West was indeed a good guy. Mochi smiled warmly to herself, as excitement grew, wondering what's in store for them next.
As they got closer to the tavern, or at least as she thinks is the tavern, Mochi hopped her long and slender frame from out of West's shadow, and to the establishments shadow, standing by a closed window. Mochi placed her hand on the wooden frame, feeling it's texture. " Los humanos son muy interesantes, pensar que construyeron tal cosa, la artesanía ..." which translats to: Humans are an interesting lot, to think that they built such a thing, the craftmanship... She looked to her friend with a soft smile. Not wanting to risk anymore exposure, she began to sign with her hands, moving them in such swift motion. "Shall we enter? Who are we looking for if we are looking? What questions do we ask? How do we find work?"
xxxWE are made of all xxxxxxthose who have xxxxxxxxxxxxBUILT and b r o k e n us

Three war demons come through the gate to the demon realm, Veresia and her comrades donning their legion armor as both agents of the realm but as also members of the legion the crest of the 12th S.O.T.R.D. in plain sight on each of their armored shoulders and across the back of the cloaks they each wore. Alkac and Garthel each donned specialized equipment, Alkac carrying traditional equipment of an agent within Lady Zosne’s legion, a pair of short swords and a pair of pistols along with a couple of leg holsters carrying to capacity throwing knives, while Garthel was utilizing the traditional shock legion equipment, a combat shield and a halberd, along with pair of pistols and knives. Veresia much like Alkac also donned equipment akin to an agent of the realm with one exception, she utilizes two wrist mounted retractable swords on her primary arms while still having the pair of pistols and slew of throwing knives she prefers to always have on her person.
Alkac and Garthel followed Veresia as they moved through the streets it was quickly obvious that they had attracted attention of some of the locals which wasn’t at all unusual since war demons rarely had any reason to leave the realm, and regardless of the attention they were getting they kept going heading straight to the forest path. Along the way someone approached them a man donning armor and a weapon lowered he raised his hand and approached “who are you?” Titus was straight faced as he stood there ready to react should the need arise, Alkac and Garthel looked at each other before they looked at Veresia who simply approached and replied, “I am an envoy from the demon realm on our way to the castle to speak to our liaison and Sebastet who are you?” Titus simply nodded and replied, “Titus a warden hired by Sebastet to watch the village and keep it from harm” Alkac approached them and placed a hand on Veresia’s shoulder who looked at her and nodded before looking at Titus again and continued “understood we’re no trouble for you and will be on our way” Titus nodded and simply stepped aside watching them as they resumed their walk to the castle. Once out of earshot Alkac spoke up “what’s going on here at the island?” Veresia shook her head and replied, “don’t know but it isn’t any business of ours as long as it doesn’t interfere with out assignment” Garthel spoke up immediately “and if it does?” Veresia sighed and replied “well, we’re war demons, and members of the 12th legion, we’ll just do what we were created to resolve” Alkac and Garthel grinned as they moved through the streets eyes seemingly following them as they moved.

Griz gave a nod to who he was then raised an eyebrow when the female pulled him into an alleyway, "If you wanted to be any more obvious, demon, you could have just used a megaphone..." he said simply then held up a hand for her to wait.
Sure enough, the kids came running into the alleyway after him. He gave them all a mock-growl that sent them running away laughing then looked back at her, "Now then... We have maybe five minutes before they come back. However, if you really want to talk, you could walk with me to the docks. And if you want to introduce yourself and tell me what you want on the way, peachy," he told her simply.
In just a few sentences, he'd identified her as a demon and and showed her that he wasn't intimidated by her at all. He also let her know that the kids in the village were particularly curious about him, something he was used to back home. He blamed it on his size.
Females were a different matter. They usually ran the other way. Especially after seeing...
He gave a soft sigh and moved his mind on to the important matters at hand, "Could you hurry up? I have to go check on a boat," he added, clearly doing his best to maintain his patience.
But being injured, and hungry again, was making him a bit... grumpy....

Griz gave a heavy sigh as they walked, really wanting to put some distance between himself and the kids. He knew they wouldn't go to the docks so he led the way there.
"Not entirely certain, but I've picked up a few details. First that I knew of it, I was in the forest and 'ran' into a group of humans with suicidal tendencies that they exhibited when they tried to shoot me. Fighting happened, dying happened... Blood, guts... You get the idea... Anyway, one of the others showed up... Best as I can scent, they're a unique hybrid of Demon and Were with the Were being prominent. Not a Demonicus. This is different. But there was something wrong with her... I caught the scent of a flower when she was breathing... I've seen something similar before. It's a type of conditioning to gain complete control over someone. Anyway, I knocked her out and we took her back to the castle. Got me patched up, I ate a bit, took a nap, then came to the village to set things up for my family when they show up," he paused there and looked around the village to check on where the kids were.
He'd noticed the looks and decided to do something about some of it. He caught the scent of another demon and zeroed in on him easily, as well as the three kids he was happily toting around. He caught his eye and motioned to the pointers with a nod of his head and a pointed look. He got a nod then noticed the position of the group of kids and started walking again, "Come on. Let's finish this at the docks," he said simply, somehow knowing that she'd follow him.
