Out Of The Pan And Into The Fire

The gang were still running through the forest, though they didn't know if they were being chased or not, they were running, they just needed to get out of this forest before they ran in to trouble, the forest would aid a magic user like the one they saw before, Ricardo knew how these type of people fought, trickery and Agility, quick witted and strategic, just like what happened to vargo, they'll try to anger you, provoke you in to doing something stupid, so they had to run before those people started instigating problems, agitating the members and making the gang fall apart, that's why they needed to run, they couldn't fight them here, somebody would break, somebody fall, somebody would be manipulated

Ricardo at the head of the group, moved stray roots and potential tripping hazards out of the way with his magic, his hands were starting to get tired, he was starting to get tired over all, his legs were aching, he was sweating bullets, so we're the others, but Ricardo was using magic doing this, he just hoped that they got out of the forest quickly, before he collapsed

The gang soon saw light, a small stream of light, streaming through the thick forest, they knew that the light was their best bet so they ran towards it, not stopping for a second, a few minutes later, they were out, finally out, at the edge of the forest, base of a large mountain, Marlum groaned, more walking, hiking, that was even worse, none of them had enough stamina to go on any longer

Ricardo fell to his knees and keeled over, the gang ran over to him and started checking on him, Lola checking his pulse, he was alive, just unconscious, one would think that using that much magic would have taken him out earlier but looked like he clung onto consciousness until they were out

"he's... Just... Exhausted"

Said Lola in between breaths, trying to catch her breath and calm her heart down

Vargo nods but Marlum looked frightened, scared

"that was our best magic user, were going to die"

That was true, without vargo, they wouldn't fair too well, especially facing off against multiple people, Ricardo was mostly what they relied on, but rich was also useful with his dagger

"oh shush, we're more than capable yo handle ourselves"

Said rich as he flipped his dagger in the air, catching it be the blade safely, and then flipping it back, holding it by the handle

"you have the best weapon here, it's easy for you, not for us"

Replied Marlum, annoyed that rich got the best weapon, but then he smiled

"actually, if you're so confident that we can fight off everybody, if we get attacked, you're going to engage first, you're capable of taking out an army, what's a few magic users to you?"

Said Marlum, the worry being washed away from his face, he knew that they could take out some people if they jumped them, especially with vargo here, rich did a good job on reminding him about that, but he had to just have a little fun with him and seemed like he got a good reaction out of rich

Rich went wide eyed with surprise, he started steuutering over his words

"I-I didn't m-mean that I could take them a-all out, I meant that if we worked as a team we could take them o-out"

He said as he looked down at his feet

Marlum laughed a little at his reaction

"oh, so you're a chicken now?"

He asked as rich shook his head no, violently, he was no chicken, but he wasn't stupid either

"I AM NOT A CHICKEN"
