Enizo gave a deep sign of annoyance, he knew these guys had to do their job, but dammit it was slowing down theirs. He reached into his pack that was hanging on his belt and pulled out his headband, which carried the colors of an Allorum Guardian.
"Here!" He gave it a heavy toss right towards them, "That should be good enough."

Seishin calmly caught the band with one hand, before holding it in both as he looked down at the material, his expression not changing as he did so, betraying no sign of his thoughts, as he casually tossed it across to Kiba, his hands returning behind his back.
"What do you think, Captain..?" He asked, his gaze lingering on the group. "Does it seem genuine to you?"

"Hmmm." He inspected it, shrugged, and leaped out of the tree, landing gently on his feet with a smile.
"Seems legit to me," he told Enizo, handing it back. "Come on down, Sei, looks like these people are telling the truth."

"Wonderful." Seishin said with the faintest trace of a smile as he took a casual step from the tree and plummeted downwards, landing on the ground with a surprising amount of grace. He straightened up and then did the same for his tie, tugging it slightly tighter after it had shifted in the fall. He coughed lightly into his fist and raised his right hand up to his forehead in a salute.
"My name is Captain Seishin Kogeki II, of Alberisato Palace, in service of King Lamuria and future head of the Kogeki forest clan tribe." Another ghost of a smile. "A lot to swallow, I know. It is a pleasure to meet you all."

"Enizo..." Enizo took his hand away from the blade, "Can I expect to meet his majesty as well? Because as fun as that sounds, there is somewhere we've gotta be..."
He'd leave out the fact that there were two rulers from two different nations with him. That alone may raise the alarm.

"He might be along later; depends on if he feels like it or not." He grinned. "For now, since you're friendlies, that means you get to be escorted by yours truly and yours truly-er. Don'tcha feel lucky?"

"I feel pressed for time..." Enizo remarked before turning back at Andy, "We'll walk and talk, okay?"
He grabbed Andy's arm and motioned him to follow as well as the two entire groups. They had some distance to make and Enizo was growing more nervous by the moment. He glanced back at the group Andy was with before giving a grin as he recognized Andy's various allies, "Oh, I see Jasmine and...and is that 'SIR OTHER' sitting over there, what's up, bro!?" His voice was both filled with surprise and sarcasm before quickly looking back at Andy and whispering, "Two things: What are you doing here and is Other holding you guys hostage?"

Seishin kept pace with Kiba as they walked. His hands moved into his pockets where they remained as he watched the others talk amongst themselves. What an odd group... They claimed to be allies with one another and yet he could sense so much hostility in the air. He scanned the group lightly and found that they were also rather diverse. There was this young man not much younger than himself before them, the orange-haired one, the large dark creature whom fit the description of Ariadelventio's King, a giant of a man wielding an equally large sword, a smaller young man wielding a weapon far too big for him, an armoured juggernaut near the back, a scarred, long-haired man, a young blonde lady and many more.
"I hope they work together better than they look together..." He murmured to Captain Kiba, his stony face slowly scanning the group again. "Because some of these guys look more like sworn enemies than friends..."

Andy placed a hand to his head, "Other is not holding us hostage...though I am sure he'd argue so."
He frowned, "And as we are doing here...well, we found out some things. After the wedding I found the person in bandages, I tracked him to Ghiaccio where we found Duo was excavating the village looking for something. It was..." he paused recalling the orb he saw, "circular, fits in your palm, kind of gold colored - whatever it was it was apparently valuable enough for two magic guarded doors to keep it shut."

"Well, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it, Sei. His Royalness did tellmethe Heroes were a prettymotleycrew, even more than theSumata were, so, I'll betcha we'll all be just fine. I mean... what's more accurate to old Traditions than a ragtag band of adventurers, huh? Most of 'em only getting along barely because of a shared and common goal.... leaving fast friends. ANd hte ones who don't get along die off anyway so if they survived the Sumata War, they've gotta be good. Especially this unlikely-looking bunch."

As Andy described the orb it suddenly brought Enizo back to Vuoto, when he saw one of those creatures holding something very similar. Not to mention Bartholomew's forces were digging up the entire city resembling exactly what Andy had seen.
"I saw something very similar to it in Vuoto, I think..." Enizo said while trying to think as far back as he could. But there was one more important question that hadn't been answered "So what led you HERE though?"
There was no way they just so happened to run into each other here. Enizo was sure something was about to go down now and he gradually picked up the pace.

Andy blinked, it wasn't just some random object...there was another? Andy thought back to the bandaged figure and found himself saying, with reluctance.
"...because the bandaged person said one word, 'Alberisato'. I didn't get it at first, but I found it the moment I got here." he said, "Your base is here isn't it, Heaven's Last."

Not another word was needed to be said, he knew now for sure what was going on. And as if he needed any more confirmation, there was now a light breeze of smoke in the air...
Enizo looked over at Andy and back at the group with eyes of complete horror. He looked straight ahead before suddenly bursting into a run, "Pick up the pace!"
He yelled as he darted through the jungle, ducking, sliding or leaping past any obstacles in his way. At the rate Enizo was going, the others would need to start running if they didn't want to loose sight of him.

I hated the feeling of soft earth. It always left my right steps feeling odd and unsure as I wasn't really used to walking on shifting dirt, nor feeling the odd sensation of my right hip sink with every step as the soil compressed more then on my left foot. It sucked, but I suppose I shouldn't be bitching given what's been happening; more important things to worry about, y'know.
I had spent most of our journey keeping to the back and out of sight, making the odd comment to Serafina and not much else in term of conversation. Upon seeing my group suddenly grow paranoid, some mumbling something about "power signatures" or something of the like; perhaps something to look into, I quickly cocked my leg up to reveal the hidden howitzer I kept in my knee, hoping that perhaps I'd get a chance to get some field data on the new edits I made to my cannon's power output...but no...no, it was just more people we apparently knew.
But suddenly, from the trees! Aha! This time I was totally gonna...no...just more people, kinda snarky dicks too. But that was aside the point. Seeing as how they were apparently Captains from Alberisato, I felt quite relieved that they didn't notice me...I mean, it wasn't like I didn't want them to notice me, and I figured it would be pretty hard not to notice the weird girl with the metal limbs...but hey, I'm sure they've seen weirder crap out here in the forests and some chick with scars and stuff was of little interest. Besides, it was probably for the best anyway...yeah, what with being kinda sorta Queen and all, it was probably best to stay on the down low for now.
Bringing myself out of my stint of introspective thought, I suddenly saw the young guy, Enizo I think was his name, take off, and suspected that I had missed something important. Wanting to stick with the kid, as he seemed to know what was happening, I shot Serafina my usual, "Be careful" look before I dashed on ahead to keep pace with the young guy in case things got dicey.

"How wonderful, it appears that we're now picking up the pace somewhat..." He brought his hands from his pockets and took in a deep breath. "It's been a while since I've used foot techniques..." Seishin took in a deep breath, focusing his mind on the energies that flowed through his blood stream, pinpointing their exact location and channeling them down towards his feet, increasing the strength in his ankles and legs. In the past, using any techniques would require a meditative state to properly use the energy that he was controlling, but now it was a second nature to him.
"Jeonjin!"
With that he was gone. The rapid tapping of his foot steps bounding around the group being the only thing to give any signal of his location. He seemingly reappeared next to Enizo, his hands back in his pockets, keeping pace easily, hopping over and around obstacles without the use of his hands. The only sign of any kind of fatigue was slightly heavier breathing which came with using his Ki in such a sudden burst without any real preparation. He didn't fear, though, his stamina would soon catch up with him...
