[[Hrm. We're finally starting, are we, Mail? :D]]
Hebe had snuck out of the castle, not wanting to be surrounded by the stuffy atmosphere and the mossy and damp cold stone floors. Zekiro had went along with Hebe, growling his annoyance that he was forced to tag along with one of his master's games.
"Oh, hush, Zekiro." Said Hebe with a roll of her eyes. The black fox narrowed his eyes haughtily and clammed up. Hebe sighed, bending down to pick him up. She knew that Zekiro adored being carried, no matter how tough he tried to look. She grinned as she felt the fox's muscles start to relax.
"We'll be out for a little while. Nobody knows, anyway." Hebe made a sniffing sound. "After all, the light witches won't know much about me." Being a fairly new dark witch [derp, is that possible?], the light clan probably had no idea of her existence. She just hoped they didn't know how to detect a witch's magical aura.
"My, my. You're up early." A sly voice came from a tree.
"A talking tree!" Hebe squeaked in surprise. A cheetah prowled out from behind it. Following her, was Noah. "Oh. It's just you." Hebe said. Zekiro resisted snarling at Noah's cheetah, no matter how fearsome it appeared.
"I don't think we would be very happy if we caught you sneaking out of the castle, won't we, Hebe?" Noah wondered out loud. Hebe narrowed her eyes.
"You won't." She growled. Noah gave her a devious grin.
"Oh. I won't?" He asked. "You're new to this whole magic thing. And me?" A black, shadowy orb formed in his right hand.

[[Mail, I don't know where the Light Clan lives D8 The village? I'm just going to say yes o-o]]
Arana hummed a tune to herself as she walked through the village nonchalantly. She stuck out like a sore thumb, with her white her, day-blue eyes and white attire, but she didn't care. At least she didn't have to wear rags everyday. She smiled at the space to her right. Arana could see a quick flash of sharp teeth. Arana smirked. The villagers had no idea what she was, and what she had brought with her. Before they had entered the village, Arana had cast an invisibility spell over Ketu, granting him admission into the village. Arana did attract attention, but bringing along a yellow wolf would just be asking for trouble.

Marco had taken a walk in the forest, tired of the presence of so many people and sounds in the village. He had brought along Septus, his Quetzcoatl. The winged beast had draped himself around Marco's neck, hissing contentedly. Like Marco, Septus enjoyed being in the forest, surrounded by the calming sounds of the wind gently brushing the tree's leaves. Marco brought his left hand up to give Septus a pat on the head. Just then, a rustling in the bushes caused Marco to stop in his tracks.
Nothing big happened, really. Just a white fluffy rabbit hopped out. Marco grinned. "Look, Septus, isn't that adorable?" He asked. Septus made a growling sound, and took off, diving at the rabbit at a dangerous speed. With a quick bite, the rabbit was gone, and in the Quetzcoatl's stomach. Marco slapped his forehead. "I wish I fed you this morning." He grumbled. Septus didn't care, making a happy hissing sound and returning to his position on Marco's neck.
