Lethe hated Spies. He could never understand his sister's love for the shadow games. He considered this girl child's words as he eyed her. Leena would never appoint someone less than capable but she didn't look like much, underfed, poverty stricken, and obviously too young to venture this close to the mountains. They may only be at the base of the mountain but there was no rules saying the beasts that lived there couldn't come down if they wanted. "So The city's all locked up." He repeated. He stood, leaning on the wall of an old, burnt-out house left from the last war considering. "So we're supposed to track down the perps trying to start a war without entering the city." He liked the idea of a challenge but didn't really know where to start on this one...

John ran a hand through his hair giving a wolfish smirk. "My good man you have the perfect person for tracking." He loosened the tie around his neck. "At least something good came from my spirit animal." He mumbled under his breath. John studied the three others that they had brought. Two woman, and another man. They were the best trained he could find among the camp. "So there's no way we're getting into the city is that what you're saying?" He asked the young spy. "Fan fuc..." John paused mid-sentence just remembering they were in the presence of a small child. "Freaking tastic."

Lethe turned to john. "You're right, either one of us could trck a flee through a snow storm. provided we had it's scent." He looked into the distance where you could just make out the shrouded mass that was the illustrious floating capital of the wind territories. "Though our targets seems to be protected by their enemies at the moment. Ironic isn't it."
The young spy watched silently as her employer's sibling considered the task. Leena did say her brother could never play on their level. 'He hasn't even realized that though i'm stationed in the city I still managed to get out undetected.' He thought to herself. She wouldn't help him. She didn't like either of these men. 'If he does figure it out i'll just say i squeezed out before the close down orders had been handed down. Besides even if they seem like they can beat in not evade the monsters to climb the mountain i doubt they could do it fast enough to suit their mission. and the flight to the city from there wouldn't be possible either. 'The Kitsune would hate them.'

John scowled looking at the technological wonder that is Nimbas city. "There's got to be a way into the city." A shaking of trees, and a flock of birds taking flight squawking as they did caught his attention. He took a whiff in the air. "Something is nearby." He drew his broadsword he had brought from camp. More trees began to shake, this time closer. "Something big and it's coming this way."

Lethte sighed. "you deal with it john." He saw still pondering the problem of the city. "You need to get the flashy fighting out of your system anyway." He turned to look at the little spy girl but she was gone. "Fast little creature." he observed.

John readied his sword but nothing came. In fact it seemed that whatever had been moving amongst the trees had completely stopped. There was no movement, and no noise except for the surrounding wild life. John sniffed at the air. "That's odd.... whatever that was, I have completely lost it's scent." He put the sword back it's scabbard across his back. "Anyway, do you have any idea on how we could get up to the city?" John had sat the scabbard down and was now stretching his back. "Because I'm drawing a blank." He took out a cigarette and offered one to Lethe.

Lethe accepted the cigarette and lit up with a sigh. "Can't see a way. At least not without help from the inside." He was still eye'n the city lost in thought.
OOC: I'm so paranoid Mo-ob! what's out in the wooooodddss???

John lit his cigarette as well taking a deep draft. "We could set up camp and rest." He could feel his shoulder popping as he rotated it. "The others could use it but." John looked out to the forest once again. He felt very uneasy from what just happened. 'Maybe I'm just being paranoid.' He shook it off and rubbed his eyes. "Damn our luck... if we would have been here a day sooner we would've been in the city."
OOC: I don't know! *Bwaaaaaaaaah!*

"Lethe turned away from the city, obviously frustrated. "I can't speed up intell." He said. in truth he'd have liked to beat the orders to shut down access to the city as well. "Put the group up in one of these burnt out shells. no fire." He sighed. "If they complain about it shut them up. If you have to tell 'em i'll feed any upstarts to the beasts in the pass."
OOC: omg is a beast? an enemy? a crazy squirrel hopped up on apple juice? i'm so curious!!!!

John threw his cigarette on the ground and stomped it out. "Alright you three you heard the man get in that shell." The three did as ordered and went away. "You should get rest to Lethe." He sniffed the air again. He could smell the hydration in the air, a storm was coming. "I'll take first watch." John grabbed a nearby branch and climbed up a tree finding a good perch to look out across the forest.

Lethe noticed the moisture building. they were in for a brilliant storm. He took out his anger on the wall he'd been occupying, punching it twice then one swinging kick sending the whole structure down around him. He walked off toward the surrounding trees just as the skies released their first misting rains, the winds howling in reflection of Lethe's anger. He fazed into his wolf-dog form and leaped into a run through the rains.

John scowled as the rain started to pour down around him. 'Great, just great.' He pushed his cigarettes deeper into his pockets trying to keep them dry. John looked over the three in the small burnt out shell. The man had fell asleep head resting on the side of the wall, where the women appeared to be playing some sort of card game. He turned his attention back across the forest seeing the trees move once again. John had no desire to fight whatever behemoth was moving such large trees, but he curiosity got the better of him. He whistled two tones at the women playing cards below him getting their attention. John motioned that he was leaving and they should stay on watch. Once they understood he jumped down taking off through the woods being careful not to make to much excess noise.
John came up where he last saw movement of the trees as thunder roared across the mountain range. He stepped lightly as he saw movement through the thick foliage. He stopped just short of a clearing gaining some small camouflage from nearby bushes. John looked over the small bush and saw three large blue foxes. Each had markings on their forehead and had multiple tails. John rubbed at his eyes making sure he wasn't just seeing things. 'What the hell am I looking at here?' He thought to himself.

The spy child laughed as the kitsune barked it's joy and shook out it's wet coat. "You'r only going to get more water on you that way." She told it. The kitsune leveled it's head at her. "Young one, i wish to return to my den." It told her as the second Kitsune shivered and sneezed. The child laughed and nodded. "Your pups will be scared in this storm." She sniffled, it was cold. "Even if their technically older than i am their still babies." She smiled sweetly at the mother. "Could I ride you up the mountain?" The Kitune lowered it's neck and allowed the girl to climp up.

John couldn't believe his eyes. 'Did that fox just talk?' He thought to himself. 'And what the hell is the spy doing with these things.' John mentally scowled. 'Where the hell is Lethe when you need him. I have no idea what these things are.'

The smaller Kitsune that had been silent till now jerked it's head up and froze. "I smell a mutt." It muttered in a younger voice. "Mother... there are dogs here." The larger one crouched to the ground. "Child we must leave. I will not have dogs in my presence." She nudged the girl onto her back and seemed to shimmer as they both disappeared. the smaller one glanced around silently before following darting off into the trees.
OOC: i guess wolves small similar to dogs. that or they scented Lethe. seriously why such amazing beasts fear dogs so much is confusing.
