Celeste dug her heels into Hope's pure white sides. The Rapidash responded immediatly, speeding from a light trot to a loping canter. The Pokemon had soon rushed to Exodus's side, then surpassed him. She pulled the reins and allowed the Pokemon to fall back into the group.

"We don't have to worry about Hope, she's doing fine," Celeste said calmly, the blush in her cheeks remaining as she felt Donnavon's hands around her hips.

Celeste then noticed Suicine loping along the path as well. "Well, Eclipse. You have certainly made a lucky friend!" Celeste had been in the Pokemon world long enough to know about all the legendaries, and was in awe to be in the presence of one.
 
Suicune came to a full stop as I hopped off, and helping Johann off the ground, got him on Suicune's back. then, getting on suicune myself, I had Suicune break into a full run, quickly catching up with Exodus, then under my orders, staying a set distance behind him.
 
"That's teh pokemon I saw earlier." I said in awe. "well , sister." I said just to tease her. "Looks like you're friend senses some good in you. Maybe your not as evil as you want us all to think." I insinuated.
 
Crystal jumped on Sora and quickly followed the rest of her friends.

"I'm really sorry, I've been tiring you, huh?" Crystal whispered, holding on her tighter for Sora was flying faster and faster.

Sora cooed and shook her head. She would do anything for her, nothing would tire her if it's for her little sister. Crystal then noticed Johann and began to get worried. But all her worry was erased when she saw the girl Eclipse, she assumed, ran towards him with a Suicune.

"Cool Suicune!" She exclaimed as she tried not to fall.
 
Exodus jumped back to Donnovan and Celeste. He gave Skye to him and yelled "keeping going straight no matter what! I have to deal with something!" Exodus took out both of his Scimitars and jumping into the high branches were agonizing screams from demons waiting to strike at the weak.

With all my strength depleted I, reluctantly, rested my body against Eclipse back, keeping my hands dangling at the side of my body, I then fell into a tired sleep with the rythmic sound of Suicunes footsteps.
 
I didn't bother saying anythign to donnovan, though I made a mental note to yell several threats at him when we stopped. With the lack of a pace keeper, Suicune increased his pace, knowing the Rapidash would eisaly be able to keep up, and with Altaria above, there was little to worry about.
 
Slightly shocked, Celeste extended the lightness charm onto Skye, three riders was getting to be a bit much for Hope, who slowed a bit. Celeste patted her friend's mane, cooing.

"Not much longer, love."

Celeste bagan to tire, her grip on the reins loosening. Keeping up the charm was a lot of work, especially on three people.
 
Being weapons master for the drow colony for 10 centries, Exodus found all the demons to be painfully easy, even though they ganged up on him, it just made it easier for him to wipe out more with one solid blow.

Soon after taking care of the demons Exodus found his way to the village, hoping everyone would make it there safetly. He then waited for they're arrival.
 
Exodus looked scornfully over at the group, but I had my eyes on his blades, which were completely drenched in blood. I weakly slid off suicunes back and sat on the floor trying to regain my strength. "We were too slow!" Exodus said harshly at the whole group once they arrived. "The demons caught up with us! I had to take care of them, since they were too close to this village! If you would have been faster then we would have got here without trouble." He said throwing the scimitars on the ground for everyone to see how bloodstained his blades were.

That wasn't even the worst of it, one look at him and you'd think he was bathing in Demon blood. His hair stunk with the aroma and his clothes were also drenched in the blood. "Luckily they were all weak. Now let's check into the inn, and get cleaned up, this will be the last stop in about a two tendays." He said heading to the inn to get checked in.
 
I pretty much chose to ignore Exodus, as i was mostly used to it, and besides, I was pretty comfortable on Suicune's back. "I'm going to wander for a bit, at least until Exodus cools off" I said darkly
 
"We were too slow!?" Celeste burst out angrilly, her strength fading quickly. "Perhaps we would have been able to get here quicker had you not left Hope with three riders!" she continued to rave. The angel had suffered enough emotional stress from this journey and was getting ready to call it quits.

"Any one of us could have taken care of those demons! Donnavon, Johann, Eclipse, or even I could have!"
 
I picked up one of the blades, I gasped as I saw they were completely destroyed, the edge was beyond repair. "Wow, he must be taking this hard. He must have used these all his life, to have them be useless just from one demon attack..." I said finding sympathy. I turned to Celeste and snapped, "You don't understand! We couldn't have handled the demons! None of us!"

I turned to Eclipse and said, "Thank you, I would have been dead if it wasn't for you, again. And it would be a good idea not to talk to him right now, he's kind of mad." I then took a look around, all the elves seemed different from Exodus, they're skin wasn't as dark, it was really quite pale to Exodus', hinting at Exodus being a more than half drow...something was wrong about what he claimed to be.

I then went into they're weapon shop to see if they had any scimitars like Exodus'.
 
I stroked Suicune, and quickly we took off back into the firest, heading for the mountains. Once I got to the mountain that Suicune tended to reside on, I got into a fight with a bunch of demons that had apparently driven Suicune off the mountian. I burned most of the fathers in my pockets, but they were defeated quickly. I rested on a ledge, admiring the view, as Suicune laid down next to me.
 
I found two Scimitars, but they weren't as skillfully crafted as his old ones, and they were way too expensive for me to afford so I went to the inn hoping to calm him down and seek the truth.

I found him in one of the rooms he rented. "You aren't half drow." I said knowing I wanted the truth first.

"I see you know the truth then." Exodus said chuckling, I noticed he changed his clothes and his head wasn't bloodstained.

"You're full drow aren't you! You had the same skin tone as the other drow we met!" I said.

"That's right." He sighed.

"And what else are you hiding." I said scared of the answer.

"I was weapons master for the drow colony I lived in for 10 centeries. I'm a master at every weapon, none can equal my strength and wisdom when it comes to weaponry." He said not boasting but telling me.

"What else are you hiding." I demanded.

"I'm Drizzt Do'urdens son. Which means I'm an incredibly gifted drow, and one of good nature." He finished.

"And about your daughter?" I said getting more nervous.

"That my friend is true, except she is half drow and half angel. Quite a mix, one evil and one good." He said laughing.

"And about your scimitars!?" I asked handing him the blades that I washed off for him.

"These, will have to be fixed by Drizzt. We will cross his path in the moutains far to the north, there we will head next." He said. "It is also the mouth of the underdark, home to the drow. So it is very dangerous and you all must be mentally ready for the trip ahead, so that's why I need you all to be mentally beaten so when you rebound you're strong. It is the way of the Drow, the only way I know." He said honestly.

I nodded and he dismissed me to go get food since I was starving from my adventure.
 
I stayed on the ledge in peaceful meditation for quite a while, before Suicune got to his feet and informed me that it was time to return to the village. Reluctant to leave, I hesitated before leaping astride Suicune, as he started his rapid decent down the mountain.. I no longer felt the presence of demons, which ment that between me and Exodus, we had destroyed most of the demons in the area...
 
Once Sora and Crystal arrived the village, a minute after Suicune did, Sora landed and Crystal jumped off her afterwards. She kissed Sora's beak as a thank you and headed to the weapon shop where she bought a few arrows. She went outside again and gazed at the village for a while.

"It's nice seeing a peaceful village for a change." She said softly.

"Al...taria." Sora answered she then fell asleep afterwards, sound a sleep.

"Sleep well, Sora." Crystal whispered as she recalled Sora back it her Pokeball.
 
Suicune reached the ground, and shifting into his top speed, rushed straight to the village, coming to a stop at more or less the exact area that we had left.I stayed on Suicune though, and waited for Johann and Exodus...
 
I saw Crystal and her pokemon, it was a sight I was glad to see after my talk with Exodus. Finding out that Exodus was one of those vile drow, it had taken the respect I had for him and turned it into fear. Making me question everything I've been through and everything we were about to go through.

I walked over to Crystal and said, trying my hardest to turn back into the carefree person I was before this adventure started, "Hey, Crystal. You...um...uh...want to go for a walk?" I then stood there and waited for her answer.

Exodus put his scimitars away and made sure all the rooms were perfect, Exodus had decided to stay there for all of tomorrow, since it was the only friendly anything they would see in along time. Hopefully everyone could enjoy themselves and boost their morale. Cause this would be the last trip to any type of civitation in about a month.

He then exited the inn and took a look around, the villagers not being too happy with a drow in their fair village. They wouldn't even tell Exodus where he could go to get a decent meal, none of the resturants would let him in. Although he tryed to explain his heritage, he had no possessions that could prove him right, only his medallion in his neck pouch, but he didn't want to rishk showing it to anybody.
