The Oni and the Bats

new encounter

After leaving the palace the group was walking through the lush forest on the boarders of the palace. It was awfully quiet around them with only the clanking and clicking of drake and dukes bones to at least pierce the silence around them, Demic was Infront leading the way as he tracked the scent of onyx through the overgrowth of the forest. If he tracked it by flight it would have been a more complicated process to track her but thanks to the small pieces of her ripped gi it could lead them to her location, Demic was well experienced in tracking since the last time he did it was to track down his son and his friends including his brother who got themselves lost in the middle of nowhere of a bamboo forest. Just thinking about it made him chuckle remembering his sons reaction when he finally showed up to save them, the gods were following behind Demic while a few had small conversations with one another "I don't think it's a good idea to trust this guy, I mean, look at him!" Cabrikan whisper shouted to his wife and gestured to the tall oni Infront of them, she did have to admit she didn't trust this guy either but he was the only other option and was possibly more powerful than onyx but not knowing what he would do gave her a hint he has done some of this before. Zatz was a little concerned for onyx wondering what they were going to do to her, wait hold on. He stopped his thoughts right there and looked deeper into it, he was worried sick. Nearly loosing his mind thinking about her, and it seemed like nothing else mattered to him except his papa and onyx. Was it possible he thought of her as a sister figure? Maybe but he did have to admit he did enjoy his time around her like he did with Maya but he'd have to focus on the subject later- "mijo? Are you listening?" He was pulled out his thoughts and looked over at his father "I apologize, I was lost in deep thought" he admitted and looked over at Demic who looked around the green scenery of the forest, he felt a new presence around them, something odd, large, fishy. He then mumbled something under his breath before spotting something or someone looming in the shadows of the overgrowth, then a tall male jumped out of the shadows holding a narwal ended spear pointing at them with a long shark tail, the stranger stopped and looked over at Demic before lowering his spear

"Demic?"

"Benthlamaari?"
