((Don't worry about it! Sometimes I'll have days like yesterday where I won't be able to reply too))
King almost had a heart attack when he spotting two eyes glowing in the darkness, then let out a tiny breath of relief when he realised it was just Latoth. He yelped and gave a little hiss when the hare almost hit him.
He narrowed his eyes at what Latoth said, though he didn't bother to give a reply. Adjusting himself so that he was further away from the dead hare lying on the ground, he curled around his pearl and fell asleep.
The next morning's sun rose surprisingly early, and Emperor was the first to stir as he slowly uncurled his body and gave a huge stretch. It was still a little cold from the remnants of the previous night's air, the sun not yet high enough to drive away the cold. He looked around their little makeshift camp, noting that everyone was still asleep. The campfire they had made had already burnt down, and only the ashes remained, the ground surrounding it slightly charred from the flames. His tummy gave a little grumble, and his eyes fell on the hare lying on the ground from the previous night. He padded over and gave it a little sniff, before deciding it was probably better to wait for the others to wake up first. Curling up again, he waited.

Varkat slowly woke up,looking like an undead,mind still cloudy and soul still asleep.
Still he tried to appear awake as he shook his head a bit and calmly swept his olive gaze around the area,a soft smile curling on his face when he spotted the young dragons.
Soon the silence was broken by the sound of many different voices,scaly bodies dragging on dry gassy soil,hooves drumming and wing flapps.
The voices spoke a strange unknown language that was nothing like any other known on Sornienth yet had a tribal nod to it.
Soon many beasts can be seen in the distance,their leader stopping a meter away from the camp.
He was a Serthis Potions master,two heads taller than Varkat,body more masculine and handsome,covered with various battle scars.
He had a wolf skull for a mask with long brown feathers tied to each side in a manner similar that a harpy's mask.
He glanced at the younger serpent with his fiery crimson gaze then looked back at his group,shouting a stern command.
"Tewareh!"
The others slowly halted,the harpies landing on the ground.
Yes our friend knew them:
There were three centaurs-a Wintermane spearman called Aristote or at least that's his nickname,an archer named Aullerya and finally a Painted centaur named Hrafun.
Next are the serpents-two Opheodrys one on wich named Shercei and the other Herzea.
Finally the harpies: The closest one is a tall and stern looking Masked harpy,known as Avialle-most skilled hunter and a fierce fighter,next to her a much shorter more scrawny one named Fotia and finall,a Condorwing Champion who is roughly Avialle's height only a very subtle inch taller than her.
The leader turned to look at our heroes and nodded in greetings,then suddenly whirled around when Hrafun chriped a cheerful "Hello folks,how's it going?",voice booming.
This caused Latoth to wake up and looked up,ready to hiss something agitatedly then yelped,and fell off his rock.
Varkat frowned puzzled and spoke to the strangers.
"Excuse me? Who..are you and why are you here?"
The girl named Shercei chuckled and asked amused,voice like the song of a nightingale.
"Don't ye remember us Varkat? Ol' Neuma? We came 'cause ye called us for a trip or somethin' like that."
The younger Serthis looked shocked for a moment before nerviously answering.
"Ah o-of course I remember! I didn't r-reckognize you what's with all the outfits and masks."
The older Potions master rolled his eyes then spoke up,voice rough and bit harsh.
"Yeah right.Now what are the plans? Are we going or we're gonna linger for a few days before leavin' for the Waste lands?"

((Wow I honestly do not think I'll be able to remember so many characters haha))
Emperor looked around wide-eyed at all the strangers slowly filing into the area and unconsciously edged closer to King nervously. As much as his blood called for him to hate pearlcatchers, being in the company of a fellow dragon was suddenly a very comforting thought no matter what species they were.
King, on the other hand, was sleeping soundly until the loud sounds startled him awake. He went as wide-eyed as Emperor and huddled closer to the imperial as well, the two hatchlings forming an unspoken truce as they looked at the big group of strangers suddenly surrounding them. King wondered whether it had been a good idea to join the party the previous night. Maybe it would have been better for his heart if he had left and never looked back.
The two of them stood speechless side by side, King trembling slightly as the huge group slowly filled in the empty spaces surrounding their small camp.

Latoth was back on his tail again and laughed at the two hatchlings,falling back from laughter.
"Ahahaha! Oh this is priceless!"The Assasin choked berfore beginning to laugh again,clutching his stomach.
He was clearly having a blast and the group looked at him their expressions varying from unimpressed to frowns.
Varkat was smiling until he noticed the two dragons and spoke up first adressing them,then the group.
"Emp,King,this is the group I've been talking about last night.For better safety they'll be traveling with us.
Oh dear,huge appologies...Folks? Mind if you introduce yourselves?"
The leader smirked amused before rolling his eyes and lifting his mask,revealing his scarred face,the otgers following suit.
Three claw marks on the bridge of his nose stood out most from the rest of his scars.
His expression was bit cheeky and more casual.
"The's Rarszozs,nice to meet ya."He gestured to the other beasts.
Aullerya slowly came up,despite her not very soft and feminine features,she still looked nice and friendly.
"Hello,I'm Aullerya and the grump behind me is Aristote."
After that she remained sitting on the ground,legs tucked underneath her body.
The other Beasts in the group didn't really step forward much,just a small step and said their name-some smiling,others not as much.

The two dragons' eyes followed whoever was introducing themselves and committed their names to memory, difficult considering the number of creatures who surrounded them. Emperor was absolutely certain he could only remember a handful of them. King looked like he was trying his best, but he didn't seem to be doing much better, either.
Once the round of introductions was done, King turned to Varkat. "What's going to happen now?" he asked.

The younger Beastclans member looked at the distance and said: "We're traveling to Dragon home."
Rarszozs nodded and turned to his group,barking a command that caused them to line up in a diamond formation and put their skull masks back on.
Aullerya remained where she is for a moment and took out a herb from ones on the baskets that are strapped on her sides.
She gave it to the Pearlcather.
"You must be fairly hungry,here.The journey will be long."The archer looked at Emperor,silently asking him if he wanted something to eat.
The others patiently waited and their leader made a gesture to Varkat who obliged.
The beasts parted to allow him reach the center before getting to their spots in the formation,the former Potions master now in the center.
Think of a herd of... triceratops.
The young and vulnerable are in the center of the herd while the adults are around them to ensure protection in case a predator attacks-the group is going for the same tactics.

King took the food eagerly. He'd been hungry since the previous night, but hadn't really had the chance to say anything about it. He munched on the food gratefully.
Emperor also accepted the food, tilting his head as he asked, "What's Dragonhome?" He also chewed on the food, though at a slower pace than King, and the two dragons allowed themselves to be shepherded to the middle of the group. Although dragons were still fairly large as hatchlings, they were still small enough to feel like they were being towered over by the other adults.

Rarszozs looked around one last time to make sure everyone is present then called out to Aullerya,causing the centaur to get back to her spot in the group.
Soon the group started moving at a steady pace,not wanting to be slow but also not wanting to squash and trample the hatchlings.
They began heading to Rotrock Rim,Aullerya explaining what Dragon home is.
Varkat quietly talked to one of the Harpies,asking what's happened and the other beast explained how things are while hovering low to the ground.
"Xembrus told the truth and this is how Divina Serpenta came to an end,now we're part of the Umbral Protectors.They all wear animal skull masks,so we also do to show that we're one of them,the language is odd but We're okay-pretty much."
The younger Serthis nodded,humming and looked around.

((Sorry I'm late. Got a bit busy))
King and Emperor followed the group, careful not to accidentally get kicked while listening to the chattering that surrounded them. The two fell into silence, not having anything in particular to talk about to each other. Because of their slow pace, the surroundings moved past slowly and their heads soon stopped turning to look at every tree.

(Hey sorry for being so late myself)
The group was moving slowly,their eyes out for any dangers that can possibly befall them as they trek through the dark shadow forest.
The leader frowned and spoke up,sounding pensive as he looked over his shoulder to look at Varkat,addressing him then turned his attention back to the winding path.
''If we keep this snail pace,then we might not make it to our destination.
We`re speeding up our walk...''-his tone changed to a slightly snappish one as he said his final words-''So ya better keep up unless ya wanna get lost.''
He turned to the others and barked a command in that odd language they speack then sped up,the other beasts nodding curtly and saying something in return then sped up as well.
''Karaha Rarszozs! Jerrea kgeh ulth Lyfes?''-One of the centaurs yelped worried,it was Aullerya.
The Serthis shot her an unimpressed look,face hidden by his mask-only his fiery gaze was visible and that was quite enough.
''Ero khanare,neamh atry gettoth av wealre. Taawah.''
The younger Potions master looked confused as to what the two are talking about then sped up in order not to fall back,he glanced at the hatchlings in hopes that his worries are not right.
The surroundings moved by quickly yet the plague territory was nowhere in sight,however the stench of rott and decay slowly began reaching them.
Within a week-five at worst they should reach the Plague domain.
Currently they were passing through Ghostlight Valley,known to be the border between Dragonhome, The Wastes, and The Tangled Wood.It`s also greatly known to be desnsely populated by Beastkin.
If King and Emperor were to pass through the valley by themselves-they likely wouldn`t make it to the other side without many deadly scars.
Soon they could hear something,whatever it is-the group seemed to tense up.
Every member had their mask on and spear at the ready in case something decides to jump them-grave silence fell upon the guild and the atmosphere was becoming so thick that a dragon can easily cut it with their claws.
The noise started getting louder,more distiguishable-voices,angry and twisted.
What? Varkat gradually grew more distressed as the voices drew closer-not again!
Rarszozs on the other hand had a frown as he listened to the screams,shouts and bellows ahead.
This he knows well enough to make a guess as to what can be happening-eighter dragons had started a ruckus with the locals or a Merge was taking place.
As he and his fellow travelers kept running the source soon revealed itself,his second guess was right.
This made his scowl deepen.Why would a Merge be going on now? Shouldn`t it be the next year?
Well they better move and quickly.
He turned to the group and yelled harshly: ''Code Blood red folks! Don`t stop runnin`!''
Another voice echoed in the distance,it was faint and very raspy.
''Adararnyn!''-someone was approaching from behind and really fast.
Avialle turned her head and scoffed puzzled as she asked confused-''What is Jevudhat doing here?''
The Potions Adept looked startled,despite his agitated frown and cursed in Serthis-rather loudly and colorfully at that.
''Avialle,lead the group to the other side-I`ll catch ya later!''He called out to the feathered figure and slithered by his group,still cursing.
The only thing everyone could understand was ''You idiot!''
The harpy swiftly took the lead and kept flying at top speed,the others following suit with spears on the ready.
