+Beg your pardon?+ [Leon]

[Elena Stark]

For a girl of what 20 years of age, Elena has certainly experienced a bit more than the average growing child. She's watched more death than anyone should endure from a young age and onward. Her life had been turned upside on more than one occasion. How many life changing experiences can a girl go through? Well a few, but these weren't the ones. What happened to the whole boyfriends, heartbreaks, prom, love, marriage, kids stuff? Oh wait the world went to hell that's what happened. Even before that she lost her parents. Then she lost her adoptive family sorta. Elena originally had believed them to be dead from the attack on the home, that only her and Arina had survived as told to her by Kilik. In her anger and despair she learned from Kilik how to fight. How to take a life. How to essentially survive on her own if need be. She was almost a natural yet her skill level was still slightly below that of Eurydice. But Kilik could've sworn she was almost a carbon copy.

With all that aside she had left Kilik some time ago practically not even leaving a trail to follow. Sounded like a certain someone no? There was a point where she stumbled upon a fight with some rather large beings. It was then she discovered Leon was still alive. He certainly didn't notice her saving him with her bow at one point but who expects to be recognized in the heat of battle. Never did she get the chance to get to approach him as once she entered the field she was almost killed and then suddenly shooting fire from her hands. Then finding herself being dragged to a gang after passing out. Then finding herself staying with her savior named Katsuri whom happened to steal her first kiss. And once again hell broke loose and she was separated from him. That guy Strike had apparently attacked once more and there was something about a ship but being weary and just concerned with surviving she was nowhere near to hop on.

It hadn't been long since it happened and the brunette found herself alone again. A bow and quiver on her back and a spear from one of those titan things in her hand. Her hair was tied in a slightly messy ponytail. Her clothes a bit torn and her right arm wrapped. Clearly she had been through a small ordeal but that didn't stop her from keeping on the move. She slinked about city trying her best to keep to the alleyways for the most parts. It was early into the night and yet it seemed relatively quiet. It was so odd. But she didn't feel comfortable enough to stay put and make 'camp' there.

[Mr. Kaar]

Yun had assembled his squad as ordered. Yun was in charge of Squad 2, which consisted of himself, and the three youngest members of Leons original 3 core squads. Yun apparently was most fit to make them into real good Dragon Men.

However Yun hadn't seen hide nor hair of any kind of Aura signature of Eury, but one close enough. Maybe residual contact aura? Yun had just the luck however and would move out to track this new aura... yun recognized it the closer he got, but that's all he could tell.

[Elena Stark]

Moving about so much was actually pretty tiring especially when hunger starts sneaking up. She felt her stomach grumble slightly and sighed mentally.

~You are picking the wrong time to start talking ya know~

In truest stubborn fashion she kept pushing onward. She wouldn't let it stop her. Not exactly smart that's how fatigue truly settled in and took down the mightiest. She hadn't had the chance of packing food considering the mess that had gone down. And she wasn't really in a woodland area where she could hunt. But she needed to find some food and water if anything. Still she slinked about almost effortlessly. Trying to be ever so careful. Until she opted for finding her way into what appeared to be a currently abandoned shop. Aside from the fact she couldn't deny her thirst for much longer her natural senses were ringing all over the place. Maybe it was just paranoia but the silence made her feel heavily uneasy. Something in her was whispering to stop and hide for a moment or two. If anything Eurydice had ever told her was to listen to her instincts. So she did once inside the shop, ducking behind the cashiers countertop. The spear placed down next to her as she removed the bow from her back with an arrow. If there was anything she didn't want to take the chance at them getting too close.

But maybe she was just being paranoid right? There really wasn't any real sign of anything or anyone close so..

[Mr. Kaar]

Yun would have the others move to get a good vantage. While he himself approached the abandoned.shop. entering slowly he would call out.

"I know your here, I am not an enemy. Please come out."

[Elena Stark]

Quietly she remained in a crouched position as someone entered the shop. Each breath was as steady as the next as she kept her calmness. Why anyone would follow her was open to many interpretations. She didn't like to think about the possibility of their intentions. Last guy ended up taking her to his group and if it wasn't for his own behemoth bodyguard betraying and helping her maybe she would've been in a bad position. Though at the time she protested she could handle to her somewhat savior Katsuri. Nevertheless she became even more cautious than she already was to begin with. At the announcement declaring he was not an enemy there was no sensation of relief felt.

Of course he knew he followed her after all. But she would not; could not openly give him the benefit of being a friendly without knowing who he was. Ideally someone would remain hidden due to the capture of fear, however, Elena could not see this stranger from her place. Better to keep him in sight. Quickly she flicked on her hood and stood up with the bow drawn towards the male figure. It was rather dark considering the time of day though most of his silhouette was fairly lit by some peeking moonlight. Still her bow stood fixated upon him with her face just a little covered due to the poor lightning and hood. Her English accent broke through the momentary silence.

"That is a likely statement is it not? We all say we're not each's enemy till the truth presents itself."

[Mr. Kaar]

Yun would slowly raise his hands and quirk an eye brow to the sound of the voice. It was familier, but the accent was different.

"That's true enough. I have three other men gaining position around the building. My name is Yun Oguri and I am looking for some people. I only wish to ask if you have seen them, and if you need any help."

One of Yun's standing orders is to find strong and interesting people and help them find stability.

[Elena Stark]

At least he was honest. He didn't have to tell her about the others though some enemies were pretty cocky. Yet there was something about his tone that seemed to exude he just might be telling the truth. On the slightly paranoid side of things he could've been just a real sweet talker. But all that was blown aside at the mention of his name.

~Yun?!~

There was a slight twitch from her head showing a peak in interest. Yun wasn't the most uncommon of names but she had only known of one in lifetime. Since he had given his last name it wasn't hard to place but still she held a small reserve about it nonetheless. Her mind was always plagued with potential 'what if' scenarios. Cautiously she started to walk sideways towards the end of the counter all the while keeping her arrow drawn on him. Her goal was to come a little more into the light to see him just to truly confirm. She got a little closer and rounded to his side where there was more light. There in the small cascade of moonlight that shined on them both now her eyes widened just a bit before she lowered her bow and flicked her hood off and gave a small smile.

"You know I was half tempted to shoot first. Glad I didn't."

It wouldn't be like her anyways. Elena wasn't a killer by any means. Though she had a hand in downing a few of those big guys but it doesn't mean that sat well with her necessarily. You have to do what you need to survive sometimes don't you? But she wasn't heartless or stone cold about it. Now to the task at hand, Elena probably wasn't someone Yun had expected to see at all. After all she was believed to be dead, but if Eurydice wasn't couldn't it be possible Elena had survived as well? Hopefully he didn't think she was some clone or something.

[Mr. Kaar]

It took a little bit, but when she finally showed herself and spoke to him that close he knew immediately. One of the people he was on constant lookout for.

"Elana?! Thank god. Where have you been? We've been looking for you everywhere."

-One down. Geeze if I can bring back Elana AND Eury. Leon will be so excited.-

[Elena Stark]

She smiled and chuckled at his surprisement until it turned into a puzzled blink.

~They were looking for me? I thought Leon wasn't. That's what Kilik said.~

It was what she had believed for the past few years since their separation. She believed Eury was dead and that Leon had just saved Spike and forgotten about her and Lana. That he didn't bother to search if they were still alive this whole time.

"You were looking for me? I didn't think he was or would. I've been with Kilik, rather Lana and I have been actually."

Kilik was an old and very close friend of Eury's. He was like her older brother, Yun probably would've remembered him as Kilik made his presence known especially to Leon. There was a promise he wanted to make sure was kept. The fact that Lana was alive as well would probably cause a great relief but possibly pose questions. If Kilik had them why had he never said anything?

Currently Elena looked a mess with the right sleeve of her right hoodie completely torn off showing the bandage arm. Her hair still a mess which she tried to realize and tried patting it down a bit. Kinda embarrassing to have him of all people see her all messy. XD

[Mr. Kaar]

Yun was surprised, relieved, confused. Mostly all at the same time, however he had to prioritize right now.

"Elana I need to get your help in tracking down Eurydice. She went off I imagine looking for you and your sister."

He would sigh.

"Leon went on a rather majestic blood rage since you all vanished. One of the standing orders he gave everyone was to always keep a look out for you."

[Elena Stark]

Elena certainly shared the feelings. If she ever found anyone she knew she was certain there was plenty she would've had to be filled in on, but she didn't expect such heavy news.

"Sh-she's alive?"

Momentarily she felt a lump in her throat as she glanced off to the side. Elena had believed all this time that she had once again lost practically everything. But that was far from the truth. If was evident that she was lied to; lied to by Kilik no less. Someone she trusted with her life. Eurydice trusted him the same. Why did he lie to her and Lana? A growing anger started to build, though she repressed it as much as she could only allowing it to show at the clenching of the bow in her grasp at her side. With his sigh she slowly looked back to him as he explained the rage Leon went in once they 'vanished'. He used the word 'vanished'. Doing a quick analysis she deduced that Leon, her 'father', never believed they were dead. But he went on a 'majestic blood rage'? She could only imagine. Maybe she was wrong. But there was something she was certain about.

"I need to speak to him Yun. I saw him that day when those big towering figures attacked that wall. I tried providing cover fire from a building till I pissed one off and he blew it up. I didn't get a chance to find him due to....unexpected circumstances."

She paused thinking on it briefly. The fire that started spewing from her hands without warning. Mentally shaking off she refocused on Yun.

"Yun, something I learned from Kilik about her was if she doesn't want to be found she more than likely won't be. If you're having a problem I might be little help but that doesn't mean I won't help. I'm not trying to sound hopeless, I'm being realistic. How long has she been gone for?"

(OOC: I believe it's been a day or two)

[Mr. Kaar]

Yun would nod he knew of some of her training.

"Yes we will see Leon once we finish looking. We are to prepare for the coming assault on the Titans behind the wall. Leon had to go see if we had any other allies. He is doing everything he can to make a safe place for his people while looking for his family."

Yun had to try and explain at least a little.

"Eurydice has been missing for about twenty seven hours."

[Elena Stark]

Hold the phone. Redial. What did he just say?

"Che cazzo è un titano?"

Her Italian roots slipped from her tongue. About 95% of the time when she was going to curse it was usually done in a different dialect. 'What the fuck is a Titan?' was her question. Through history she knew about Titans and gods but did they really exist that would be really really weird. But then again she's seen some weird things. But Titan's that would be a bit much. And they were behind some wall? What in the world was Yun talking about? She knew a few languages but whatever he was speaking was more foreign than them all. He had to notice her clear sense of lost by the blinking expression she held. Shaking herself a little out of it but not by much she managed to formulate some kind of sentence.

"I'm sorry, I'm not sure I heard you right.. Titans beyond a wall? Umm, ok ok."

She waved her free hand like she was trying to push the thoughts away.

"Bloody hell, you need to fill me in on this stuff."

For some reason so many thought it was cute when she cursed even if it wasn't explicit. It was more than likely the accent coupled with her appearance.

"But first, she's got a really good head start. Considering the fact I know she's a runner I'm sure she could run for a fair amount of time which would put her further away. You said she probably went looking for me and Lana. Maybe she'd try Kilik's old business establishment. It was pretty heavily destroyed but there were lower levels maybe she'd think about that. I've learned a hell of a lot about her over the past few years."

[Mr. Kaar]

"The titans, the big people in that battle protecting the crows territory wall. They apparently are some form of old expirament... but they are a lot stronger than the expiraments we have battled in the past, some even stronger than your father. In fact one has killed him once already."

Yun would nod.

"You lead the way then. I brought my squad with me, if you'd join for the time being. If you are hungry or thirsty we have some travel provisions, water, sandwhiches, protein bars."

[Elena Stark]

~Who are the Crows? Sounds familiar I'm sure. The Titans are experiments? Like those people who believe themselves to be gods? Who has been doing the experimentations? Wait.. did he say one killed Leon? How is he alive then? Hm, possibly someone with a very special ability then. This is a lot of information to think about~

Elena thought to herself. Pondering deeply in thought before the mention of food broke her process and her head tilted up towards him. Her eyes brightened at the thought of food. Originally she was trying to push on without but this resting period was bringing the hunger back on in full stride. Didn't help that her tummy grumbled rather loudly. A rather deep shade of red entered her cheeks as she felt rather embarrassed by it.

"Heh is it that obvious?"

She chuckled nervously. Almost sheepishly she walked away from him and back around the counter where she was previously hiding. The bow was back on her back and the arrow back in the quiver. She bent down and picked up her bag and the Titan spear. The spear had come in handy lately so she kept the thing. She wasn't really a spear girl but didn't mean she didn't know how to use it. But it was a bit of an odd weapon of choice for at least her. Anyone that knew her would've picked up on it. Walking back over erasing her embarrassment she nodded and spoke up again.

"Time is limited. Just a water and protein bar will do. I'll be fine."

They part maybe a little less true than intended but she refused to be a determent.

"Umm, heh yeah where are we exactly? Honestly I was just roaming at this point, trying to stay out of sight. And I'm assuming a map is out of the question considering heh."

She wouldn't be able to lead them without that knowledge.
