Umbra shows up behind the house and lays down the old blankets. He also leaves out a bowl of water.
"There. That should do for now..." He heads back inside and actually goes to bed.

The three cloaked beings keep climbing.

Something seems... Off in the near distance. What appears to be a large, moving shadow is advancing up the mountainside. The Guards haven't noticed yet, and neither have the Anomalies.

    To pass Time today Zeurei had decided walking the streets would be a good way to relax, sleeping now would end up with him fading off and awaking in the middle of the night.  It was not the prime time to build his connections, with no underground, he'd be hard pressed to do more than stare at the sky at such hours.  

    And so it was that he felt a familiar tingle at the back of his spine.  He felt nothing except a twinge of familiarity, for anyone else, they'd have felt nothing at all.  But to him, he instantly knew it.  His sister, he turned around, looking about, and then again turned.   People walked the streets, but none turned out to be his sister.  Well, until he saw far in the distance that slight glimmer.  

    There was no way he'd reach her, she'd be gone long before then, but he could at least follow her footsteps.  He smiled, and waved.  To anyone else he looked mad, waving at seemingly nobody for her distance from himself, but she would know.  And he darted off after a brief period where he scanned her back.  He saw her dart off, and continued towards her previous position.

"What are you talking abo-..." Chaos finally sees the shadow.
"Oh, shit. Everyone, up to the summit! Come on!"
The Guards start moving up with the Anomalies.
"What's going on? Why are we-"
"I'm being chased, and it seems Apathy's 'problem' attracted even more attention."
"The Hierophant is coming for us."

// it's part of a plot thing. There are shadowy beasts called Shadow Imps that already existed and are normally nothing more than a nuisance. There's also a shade that's causing a lot of trouble right now because plot stuff that started before you hopped in.
// I created a classification system for magic and its users quite a while ago that allows for the use of any magic that isn't ridiculously overpowered. I also don't feel like digging through the thread to find it again.
// also, it'd help you to pay attention, as Surge said, and also to not question how everything works. This isn't a hard sci-fi setting, therefore not everything needs to be explained.

// You wanted to know what the magic rules were. I do put thought into this RP. Don't assume I don't. It's not exactly a wall of text, either. I kept it as simple and brief as I could manage.
// And if you're just going to shit on the idea of magic in general (which I assume you will), then don't. I won't deal with anti-fantasy bullshit. People like it. People use it. If you don't like it, that's fine. You don't have to. But that doesn't mean you have to be overly critical of everything about it.

// I considered that problem when I was designing the magic classification system, so I tried my best to make sure that anything anyone could come up with would be able to fit in one of the four categories. Your suggestion doesn't sound bad, though. It'd open up some interesting possibilities.
