Poor Ari.
After Beiloune's demise, everyone went their separate directions for a while. Soon though darkness had started to cover the lands and many blamed Stan for this. Turns out the guy was innocent and the group has gathered back together to find the true culprit. That's how it's been for the past three weeks.
And Ari can't take much more of this.
They had set up camp for the night and were eating dinner around the fire as Stan and Linda fight with Marlene and Rosalyn, Epros gets in a fight with both Rosalyn and Stan, Big Bull gets in the fight with anyone (just so he can throw a punch), and Kisling tries to calm things down. Ari had already crawled into his sleeping bag for the night as he listens to the arguments. Going on. He laid there for ten minutes as a fight finally erupts in the group. "And they're off again." Ari silently mumbles.
Ari lays in silence for a second as he listens to the fight before a sound catches his ears. He sits up straight to listen for it again. A sound of rustling leaves. Ari grabs his sword only to find that it's not there. He turns to see his sword lying near the bushes. He rushes over and grabs just as a hand grabs him. This hand was white with black claw like nails. Ari looks up to see a man with white skin, long, black hair, and red snake-like eyes giving him a fanged grin. The group was still fighting and did not notice a thing as the man drags Ari into the bushes and covers his mouth to keep him from screaming. He pulls back into the shadows as he motions to a nearby ghost.
By now, Kisling has noticed that Ari was gone. "Stop it! All of you! Ari is missing!"
Rosalyn drops her sword A Linda and Marlene stop trying to scratch each other's eyes out. Stan glares at the empty sleeping bag before growling out. "Slave! Where are you? Get back here!"
Stan stops. He then send an orb of darkness at one direction, hitting a ghost in the process. More ghosts approach as Stan and Rosalyn make quick work of them. Stan then grabs one ghost that was still in one piece and growls at it. "Where is my slave!"
