Noctimus laid there terrified of what was to come. The terrifying monster known to most as "Gyx" that had damaged Noctimus' frail little body the most in his small pathetic life lurked close by. He hoped whatever Ma was doing wouldn't take long. . .

(Yoo-hoo, Syndir~! Your goddess is peril~!

...Syndir?

SYNDIR!

*sigh* It's so hard to find good, mindlessly devout lackeys these days...)

The shadows weren't done playing with their prey yet. Randomly, a member of the pack would suddenly break off and snap at Kate, making the others send up a chorus of cackling when she flinched. They were having so much fun; relishing in the thought of seeing the unripe puppets' faces when one of their members was ripped apart before their very eyes by an unseen force. One broke off and charged, snapping it's jaws mere inches from her face. She flinched and whimpered. They erupted in laughter. One, singular thought started circling through the girl's mind.

I'm going to die. 

I'm going to die.

I'm going to die.

I'm going to die.

"Going to die... Going to die..." Kade started echoing her thoughts in the same, empty tone. "Going to die..."

~~~~~~~~

The dragon suddenly froze, sniffing the air. Her head slowly started turning in the direction of the small flamey humans person and the orange thingy. She could swear she faintly smelled large quantities of nightmare fuel coming in that direction, but she couldn't see anything.

Famen suddenly felt a presence he had remembered quite well. Nightmare fuel. He would practically bleed the stuff when he was...not himself. He couldn't see what Kate was seeing, but got up, and yelled "Leave her alone!" As he swung at seemingly nothing, but still managed to whack one of the monsters snapping at Kate with his left, scarred-up arm.

Syndir's spidey senses start tingling

Syndir noticed the dragon's change of pace and followed its gaze. Something seemed off—he hadn't noticed it until now. There seemed to be a significant amount of nightmares gathering—gathering there.

So, being the logical person he was, Syndir dashed (the best he could with a limp) straight towards the problem.

(Famen and Wiffle, nightmare buddies.)

Wiffleball swatted at the shadows with his paws, ineffectively trying to hold them back. There was no possible way he could take them all, not even with Famen's help...

The boat. They had to get Kate to the boat. He began pulling at her arms, trying to move her with little success.

Famen got the message almost immediately. He wiped off the nightmare fuel from his arm, picked up Kate and Wiffleball and made a B-line straight for the boat. Placing them down gently. "Wiffleball, do you know what's wrong with her?"

Wiffleball initially payed no attention to Famen's question, and instead looked back out at the beach. There, the shadows were closing the distance, angered that their prey had been taken from them. Kate's life was in peril, and as he looked out at the mob of black creatures screeching and howling in fury, Wiffleball realized that he couldn't afford to stay silent any longer. He turned to Famen.

"THƎ ƧHADOWƧ AЯE AFTEЯ HEЯ." A voice, oddly childlike, echoed directly in Famen's head. "WƎ HAVƎ TO LƎAVƎ. GƎT THƎ OTHƎRƧ."

Holy sh-now he talks...Wasn't the first time hearing voices in his head. Famen just nodded. "Everyone! We gotta go! Now!" Famen screamed, not having a bell or anything to ring. He ran down alerting everyone.

(Someone wanna put a pirate hat on an insane girl?)

Noctimus felt like he should probably do something. He stumbled around for a while until he saw it. THE PIRATE HAT! Noctimus tried to find out what was inside this strange object, but accidentally got trapped inside. He ran around blindly inside the pirate hat, somehow managing to make it to Kate without seeing anything.

(Oh, that explains a lot. I thought it was you.

:p )

Mark noticed the commotion, and could barely see some shadowy figures surrounding the fire girl.

Fire attracts pain. Fire brings destruction.

Ugh, whatever, conscience. Whatever.

He heard Famen calling everyone to the boat and didn't waste any time on entering the vessel. He was starting to heavily dislike that island.

The shadow hissed at the boy who hit it, and the others joined in. Playtime was over. One of them made a pass at Famen and the girl he was carrying as he ran out of their circle and managed to tear his sleeve and graze her leg. They scuttled after them towards the wooden vessel.

Kate, who had been limp and unmoving, slowly moved her had to stroke Noctimus as he nuzzled her, letting it fall limply to the floor when he moved to get the pirate hat. Kade was standing on the boat now. He hadn't ran or followed after them, he was just there. "Going to die... Going to die..."

~~~~~~~~

The dragon could see that the humans peoples were distressed, figuring that it had something to do with the nightmare fuel she smelled, and limped onto the boat without question.

Angelle was finally snapped out of her bonetrousle trance when she caught the scent of...the fuel. Famen must be in danger! She hopped aboard and let out a menacing bark to see Famen down on the island completely fine. Where was this scent coming from then?

(Chris wanted me to, so here's a map documenting the group's adventures so far.)

(If anyone can point me in the direction of some good custom map/image viewing software, I'd appreciate it.  As is, you'll probably want to download it or click on it to see the full size.)
