The stars aren't right!(Helena/Courage Wolf)


Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

There's no sign of Aqua or the spiders on the roof, but Helena can feel Strike getting closer from a direction marked by distant screams.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena groaned and looked down. Saying fuck it, She lowered her weight and began to tumble down the building, dropping from ledge to ledge quickly because it was faster then the stairs. Jasmine had said she could fly without wings, but this wasn't flying, just controlled falling, and since she could control her weight, it was far less complicated then it was for anyone else. Factor in her natural agility and acrobatic nature, and you had a fairly impressive and rapid decent.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena makes her way down quickly, and Jasmine comes to look from the window. The screams are definitely getting closer, and Helena can see several beggars running alongside guards away from something.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena stands in the center of the street, knowing what was coming, her anger straining against the compacted bounds she had put it under, but not breaking, her rage staying dormant. Still, she stood and waited, the beggars parting around her as she lashed out with her mind at the three. *STOP NOW.*
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Suddenly the spiders come to view. Somehow they've grown to twice their normal size and they're pulling a cart with Aqua in it with impressive turn of speed. Strike and Flame both slow down and stop in front of Helena, but the cart keeps rolling and bumps to Flame, tipping over and pouring giggling Aqua out of it. "Good morning Helena."
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena stands there, looking cross and folding her arms. "Get Inside Now.... NOW!" She says, pointing like an angry mother and scolding the Spiders. *FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY!* Fuming, Helena unhooked them from whatever had them harnessed to the wagon and shoo'ed them all inside and back upstairs. *Jasmine, pack up, we need to get out of here while everyone is in too much shock to charge us for any damages...*
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

The spiders appear confused and stare Helena, embarrassedly shrinking to their normal sizes before rushing up the wall and in through the window. Aqua, still giggling, follows the spiders at slower pace after handing Helena a neatly tied scroll.

Jasmine seems more amused than anything else. *You haven't even finished your breakfast yet.*
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena shakes her head and apologizes to everyone in the streets. "I am so sorry, and embarrassed, we're leaving today, that will NEVER happen AGAIN you have my word" Zipping back inside before anyone could answer, Helena rushed up the stairs and destroyed her breakfast as she glared at the three.

Grumbling, she took the scroll she had been handed and opened it, wondering what Aqua had brought her rather then dwelling on the sheer Idiocy of the slime and spiders.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Jasmine and Cindy quickly finish their breakfast and start packing what hasn't been packed already. The two pillories would take a lot of room ,but everything else fits neatly into four sets of saddlebags.

The scroll seems to contain a some sort of spell, though it's too complex for Helena to be able to tell more at a quick glance.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Rolling the scroll back up and tucking it into her armor, Helena helped pack everything up and checked everything else over, remembering to grab the key to her collar out of the bedside table. Slinging her bow and arrows over her shoulder, she put the saddlebags on Strike and Flame as punishment. "We ready? Lets go" She said quickly marching the Spiders out like naughty children and heading for the stables.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

The spiders and the now dressed Aqua obediently fall in line and Cindy and the two succubi walk to the stables, quickly getting on their mounts and heading through the streets of the city to north.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Saddlebags on the horses, Everyone in line, everything packed, course plotted, check check check check. Finishing her mental check list, Helena took the time to once again appreciate her mount, whispering into its ear and stroking his neck gently as they moved through, and then Finally out of the city. "And with this we say goodbye to you, you miserable fucking hellhole." She muttered loud enough for the others to hear. "Aqua, Where did you get that Scroll.... " She said, pulling it out and reading it as they rode at a good and relaxed pace.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"From the same old man who caused Strike and Flame to grow and borrowed his cart. He was nice, and didn't even ask much money for it. I thought you'd like the spell." Aqua answers, sounding a little more sober as they ride through the gates of the city a short while later, heading towards the river.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"Old man!?" Helena asked incredulously. "He wasn't a dwarf was he?" She said pulling the scroll back out and trying to figure out the basic gist of the spell... If she couldn't then she would hand it off to Jasmine to see if she could figure it out.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"No, he wasn't. He claimed to be a professor or something like that."

The scroll seems to have something to do with growth and speed, but that's about all Helena can make out of it. Jasmine takes a look at the scroll and starts reading it, muttering to herself.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"A professor..... God damnit. Really!? Now he shows up!? Aqua, please don't tell me he looked like this and his name was Heritage" Helena said rubbing her temples and showing the slime a mental image of the university professor.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Aqua frowns. "No, he didn't look like that. At least, I don't think so. He had a beard covering most of his face and he didn't say his name."
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"Okay, Thank the stars above. I don't have it in me to deal with Heritage's special brand of bullshit this time around" Helena said glancing at Jasmine. "Still, Who the hell would just sell magic to a slime on the street, grow two spiders to rediculous size, and then happily send them on a rampage. Jasmine. You have any idea what that spell is yet?" Helena asked the redhead suddenly, shaking herself from her own musings.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"It's a spell to grow an animal or a magical creature to twice the normal size and it also increases their speed. Never seen one like this before." Jasmine answers absentmindedly, studying the scroll further. "Could be useful."
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"If you say so" Helena said, not really knowing what to make of the situation or the strange professor carrying a magical scroll in a city where Magic was illegal... Regardless, she spent most of her time doting on the magnificent horse she was riding.
