*Koe and his group follow Ryan Ignis towards Ray’s camp to meet with the others*

ZF-Uh, it’ll be nice to get back to the others

TR-I don’t think you mean that, you hate all of them too

KO-Ya you just seem to be unhappy

ZF-Well… uh… I guess I just like having more people around for me to hate, you know, have some variety to my hatred

SW-You realize all you achieve by pushing your allies away is being the first of them to be abandoned in a fight if things get rough

ZF-You guys wouldn’t do that

TR/KO/SW-...

ZF-Wow, that’s… cold

TR-All you achieve by making ice puns is being closer to one of your allies killing you

ZF-Hey, it’s all I have don’t take that from me

KO-So Ryan, how did you know where to find us?

RyI-Ray is working with the Coalition on this one, directly with the general, He was actually the one that decided to send a request of help to your father

SW-So, what does he wish of us now?

RyI-Well there’s two big things happening that you’ll need to help with

TR-Why do people keep giving us jobs two at a time

SW-It’s as if someone is trying to split us up into groups of four a lot

KO-Well with all of us around things get a bit crowded, and we don’t get as much actual conversation, or improvement in combat

TR-I guess that’s fair

RyI-Well these jobs may require your full attention, they are pretty intense

TR-How intense?

RyI-Well I don’t know all the details, but Ray wants your help with a war, and he said something about the fate’s errand, but it sounded serious

KO-Well we can discuss the jobs more when we get there, and then we’ll have our friends around too

ZF(Shivers)-ugh, I have a bad feeling

TR-Really?  What kind?

KO-What do you mean?

TR-He’s really good at predicting bad things, usually stuff like ambushes, animals nearby, or some other potential threat to him specifically

ZF-It’s really bad this time, it hasn’t been this bad for a long time

KO-Do we have to be worried?  Or does it only affect him?

TR-Just take a couple steps away from him, he may get struck by lightning for all we know

SW-Zytonyx, you should walk over there

ZF-You’re kicking me off the road

SW-We cannot endanger the group for your selfishness Zytonyx

ZF-Fine, I’ll walk in the mud

*Zytonyx starts walking in the mud*

KO-Why don’t you just freeze the mud?

ZF-What? And drain my magic connection? No way!

KO-Oh, there’s a limit to your magic?

ZF-Ya, did you not know that?

KO-I don’t use magic, and never really knew anyone that does
