501 Everlasting Hug

...

...

...

*Cough, Cough!*

Solaire awkward coughs into his hand to try and separate Reima and Quelaag from their "Everlasting Hug".

Reima and Quelaag jolt away and look at eachother, they'd not thought it'd been long but thought it must have been for Solaire to have intervened.

Reima "It's so good to see everyone again, you have no idea how much I wanted to fight with Solaire, or talk with the rest of you. But... We're finally back together, that's all I cast ask for." he says, feeling more complete now that he's reunited with his other family.

Solaire "My friend I've wanted to fight someone on my level for a while!" he says, as he grabs Reima in a headlock. They both laugh and are surrounded by the others who dogpile onto them.

The others who aren't as close with Reima as those living in the Demon Ruins just watch on as the atmosphere turns jovial.

Logan who was leant over and examing the ground that Reima had just raised stands up abruptly and leaps into the pile while shouting for "Reima! CAST THAT SPELL AGAIN!" It didn't take long for Griggs to jump in and try to retrieve his master as well.

Reima "Alright! Alright! Guys we should probably get going! We're on a time limit so get off!" he shouts underneath everyone.

Eventually they all get off and allow Reima to breathe again, Snuffles crawls out from his clothing and look around at all the people Reima was close with. Surprised that so many people were so intimate with him as she'd seen him be rather introverted and uninterested in friendship what in Hogwarts.

Reima "Everyone! You all know why you are here! The world is ending and I am here to save you, however there will be a battle between a race known as Elves who have powerful sorcerers and an entire world to draw troops from. I will be taking you all to a place called Kaer Morhen on the Continent, people there will be wary of you but rest assured you have my protection." he says loud enough for everyone and maybe even the Everlasting Dragon to hear him.

Solaire "Worry not my friend! We are allies in arms and will practise some Jolly Cooperation!" he shouts, with the Chaos Servants are raising their weapons in the air and chanting "JOLLY!"

Reima sweat drops at how he'd corrupted the Servants but shakes his head, "Alright, make sure you have got everything cause we will not be returning once we leave!"

Kaer Morhen 10am :

It's a cloudless day with the sun bearing down on the mountain range providing warmth to those still around... Most people were extremely tired due to working the majority of the night, fortunately a new arrival will wake them up promptly.

*CRASSSHHHH!*

*RUMMBBLLLEEEE!*

The huge sounds cause everyone in Kaer Morhen to scramble outside into the courtyard to see what'd happened. However they see nothing as they look around.

...

That is, until Geralt points towards a nearby mountain peak where a huge figure had just appeared. "What... Is that..." he says as he tries to keep himself composed.

Everyone looks to where he's pointing and gape as they see a huge creature with two paired of wings, stone-like scales and light fur covering some of it's body.

Lambert "What the fuck! It's a dragon!"

Kuretz glances at Risryn and Talem, "Reima never said anything about that! Holy shit we are so dead!"

Lambert "Vesemir! Do you know what kind of Dragon that is!?!" he asks anxiously, never hearing of a dragon that large before.

Vesemir shakes his head and he tries to memorise it's unique features. "No.. Never. It's certainly bigger than a Golden Dragon..."

Yennefer "Think it'll attack us?" she asks outloud for anyone who may have an answer.

Ermion "Most likely, why else would it suddenly appear here?"

With Reima :

The Everlasting Dragon flexes it's wings on the mountain top, it enjoys the breeze blowing through the area and rumbles in satisfaction like the purr of a cat...

Reima "You like this spot?"

"Hmmmmmmmmmm, yesssss."

Reima shrugs and wipes his forehead, teleporting this guy to another world is quite taxing, fortunately is didn't resist otherwise they'd both end up somewhere random.

Kaer Morhen :

The group continues to watch the dragon in the distance, ready to start launching arrows, spells and whatever else they can throw at it should it suddenly attack.

However in the middle of the courtyard a familiar portal opens up, the clanking of heavy boots starts almost immediately revealing a troop of heavily armoured warriors wearing almost religious looking armour covered in golden embroidery. Their hoods are raised over their metal helmets and they carry huge tower shields capable of covering their entire body and more.

Obviously those present are aware that these are probably Reima's allies and don't draw their weapons.

Behind the heavily armoured warriors comes the Pyreblades and Pyromancers next, Ciri immediately recognises the black marks around their sleeves as use of Pyromancy.

After the Chaos Servants are all through Andre comes next with his Anvil still on his shoulder. Those who see it are amazed by the man's strength as even a Witcher would be unable to carry an Anvil like that. Next is Rickert who stumbles through still looking pale, of course, the person who steps through next has a few of the residents cautious...

Vamos walks through with his Anvil and turns towards those who tense at his appearance, Yennefer and Geralt give eachother a weird look a the skeleton's appearance, the latter wondering if it was some kind of necromantic animation.

Vamos "Stop your staring, I may not be wearing clothes but you don't just stare at peoples bones without permission!" he says, which has a few looking away.

Following the theme of blacksmiths Reima has to use the staff of Manus to push the portal open as wide as it can go, even then Coaugh has to bend over to get through it.

At the sight of the giant people turn to look at the Witchers reactions, they don't seem to be worried about it which calms a few slightly.
