After Carlyle had the money in his possession he walked away and walked around to purchase new clothing. Once he collected what he wanted, he threw off his old rags and put on a black hooded shirt, and a half mask covering his jaw. But it was pulled down and around his neck. He had regular black pants and black shoes.

Carlyle started to head towards the woods but noticed that everyone was still around and so he shouted at a distance just audible.

"Anyone mind if I come along?!?!"

"That is up to Lady Ella!"
Sasuro replied to Caryle as he started back to the entrance of the forest.
"Im sure if you do not wrong her she will be more than glad to have you as a guest!"
He said as he vanished into the forest.

Mathuriel cocked his head.
"And what reason do you have not to trust me?"

"It's not that I don't have a reason not to trust you, I merely don'y have a reason to actually trust you.", Daemon said.

"Looks to me like you could use someone to trust."
Mathuriel leaned on his sceptre.
"Leverage, you say... hmm... family? Friends? Loved one? Loved ones in the plural? Information, wealth? Just guessing..."

"You would make the worlds worst interrogator...", Daemon commented, "Lets hope that we don't need to use that later on..."

ella continued riding in the forest she heard a noise off in a distance. she halted midnight to listen. the glow from their eyes vanished, midnight started shifting about and she patted him on the neck
"shh, i heard it too"
she listened as the noise seemed to move about in the forest along with snarling and some growling
"there isnt many animals that can make noises like that"
she whispered while holding tightly on the reins
"if it gets any closer, run as fast as you can go, ok boy"

"Interrogation?! My dear fellow, if you think this is how I interrogate you have another think coming... we are just talking, being friendly. I'm offering aid, you are debating whether to accept it or not, and I am graciously pushing the matter."
Mathuriel raised an eyebrow.
"Personally, I am under the strong impression that you are the casual, devil-may-care lone wolf type of character - and I don't have issues with that. But it is simply a matter of common goals - you want the king dead, I want the king dead, quite a few other people want the king dead - and alliances are always more practical than disharmony."
He paused.
"Just saying."

Sasuro catches up to Ella.
"What's wrong? why did you stop?"

ellas looked at sasuro and pressed her fingers to her lips then whispered
"do you hear that growling in the distance?"
she looked back in the direction of the noise
"thats not a common animal, but something else, something.."
she looked at sasure
"a lot bigger, and far more vicious, we need to get the others and get out of here and back to the estate, i dont know about you but i prefer not to run into whatever it is"

Daemon scowled and looked away,
"Think what you want", he said

"Do you think it is one of the King's monsters?"
Sasuro replied in a whisper.

ella nodded
"it could very well be, i wouldnt be surprise if it was"
the noise started moving away from them
"the king will do anything to gain more power"

Mathuriel studied the brooding figure.
"I bet you practice that look in the mirror," he chuckled.
Then he turned away. starting to walk off.
"Well, if you want some help, you know where to find us..."

"I'll go back and gather the others."
Sasuro says as he head back towards the village.

ella nodded and decided to stay where she was to continue listening for the creature, making sure it didnt move closer the their path back to the estate. she gave midnight a pat on the neck noticing he was feeling uneasy she whispered
"its ok boy, if it starts to move closer we will make a run for the others"

Sasuro bustled into the town where the others were on his horse.
"Quickly! Ella Thinks one of the kings monsters might be heading our way! We have to go now!!!"
He said with a necessary haste in his voice as he turned to start heading back.

He turned back around and looked at carlyle.
"Get on! You will be faster on the back of my horse!"
He said extending his hand out to him.

Carlyle grabbed Sasuro's hand, and immediately jumped onto the back of the horse.

"Depending on the beast, I might be able to take it out myself."

"I think it would be wisest not to pick a fight with the Kings monsters!"
Sasuro said as he started into a gallop.

"We wouldn't want to get into a fight we weren't ready for."
He explained.

Carlyle gave out a belly chuckle and smirked.

"You may not be ready for it. But i will be."

Sasuro and Carlyle catch up to Ella.
"Has there been any movement with the monster?"
He said in a silent voice.

she looked over at sasuro
"it seems to be moving away from us for now"
she looked at Carlyle
"whats he doing here?"

An explosive echo of thunder ripped across the land. Within moments Daemon had appeared a short distance from the group.
"So then... Where do you plan to go next?".

A sudden tearing of the space time continuum and a click of the fingers heralded Mathuriel's arrival.
He opened his mouth - then closed it and winced, clutching his head in pain.
"Ow... ow ow..."
He straightened.
"Damned inter-dimensional reality shifts... plays havoc with my mind."
Then he put his hand to his nose and winced as it came away bloody.
"Right... no dimension-walking for a while then."

He looked at the others.
"Everything alright?"

"I brought him with me just encase things got messy..."
Sasuro replied to Ella.

Ella noticed hostility towards Carlyle.
"Do you have a problem with this gentlemen?"
He asked inquisitively.
