Stuck

"At least she's competent."

Arcturius stood next to Setsuna. "Alright then. So, fly or run?"

"Run, I'm faster that way, and I don't think you would like crashing into tree branches if you flew." She replied.

"Most likely slower than me."

Arcturius shrugged. "After you," he said to Almira.

She ignored Setsuna and took off running on all fours because it was much quicker than on two.

Setsuna speed up his own time and sped himself up to near the speed of light. He was waiting for them at te destination

Arcturius glided next to Almira, only putting his foot on the ground to dodge things.

Almira looked at Setsuna, who was waiting at her clan's camp. "How did you know this was here?"

Most of them had things to do and didn't question the newcomers, they just looked curious.

"I've been here for many years.....longer than you have been alive."

"You've been asleep, though," Arc pointed out.

"Um, okay then." She found Greater Grandfather sitting near a pond. He had a pair of black wings due to being a hybrid, which made him easy to spot.

Greater looked at her then at the newcomers. "What is this?"

"I'm here to enslave you all." Said Setsuna with very dry humor

"Yeah," Arcturius said, "He is. And I'm... here..." he struggled for a role to play, "Oh!" He pulled out a bunch of brochures, "I'm here to spread the good word of our lord and saviour, Gesu Christo." He shrugged, "So, basicallly, enslave you."

Greater snarled and unsheathed his claws, which were hooked.

Almira patted his hand nervously. "Haha, they're only joking, don't worry about it." She glared at them. "Think there's a reason we don't have a king?"

Setsuna paused time and walked over to Almira. He moved her arm to point it to the old man. He then made her give him the middle finger and then turned the old mans face to look at it. With his job done he returned to his original posturing and unfroze time

Arcturius ipaced around, seemingly oblivious to the hilarious thing that just haplened. He sniffed around the are, licking things. "Something's not right," he muttered.

Greater didn't know what that meant and simply smacked her hand away. "Don't point if you're not going to use the right finger." He paused. "So what did you do this time?"

Almira looked sheepish. "We made two giant craters in the ground."

"That village that mysteriously disappeared a few decades back. That was me."

Arcturius was too busy inspecting the area around them to hear anything they said.

Greater seized her by both ears and made her fall on her knees. He sighed and half-heartedly cuffed her over the head. "Almira.....I've never had an apprentice as idiotic as you. You're almost grown, so when are you going to stop acting like you have cloudfluff in your head?"

"I know I'm very sorry, Grandfather." She said, very used to this treatment.

Setsuna was clearly on his guard and has a hand on the katana at his side. It was very obvious that he expected a fight to break out.

"Almira," Arcturius said, finally looling at them. He was calm, and spoke softly, "How old qre you?"

Almira actually had to think about that. "Ummmmm........." She looked at Greater for help.

"She's sixteen." He answered for her, letting her stand up again.

"Great. A child."
