Nova emerged from the darkness tossing a lifeless imp into the air almost playfully as she approached the group. When met with their questioning stares she simply answered, "One of those pests' little friends. A group of them got too close and... well... I decided to have a little fun with this one."
A grin spread across her face as the members of the group gained almost disgusted expressions. It was actually turning out to be kind of fun being the outcast of this slowly forming rag-tag group. It meant she could do whatever she pleased, basically, and no one would question- a good thing as questions led only to trouble for her in most cases.
Thus, she settled herself on a branch, content to toy with the dead imp a little longer before finally growing bored with it and vaporizing it with necro-energy. It was at this time that she noticed the condition of the others and while she didn't exactly care on a personal, affectionate level, perse, they were important to her orders and thus, needed to be kept alive and well. With a sigh, she made her way over to Midnight in a surprising amount of gentlilty for a Nether Dragyn, reached inside the hood of the cloak and laid a hand on her forehead, muttering something under her breath. Instantly, purple energy seemed to spread from her fingertips and encompassed her patient before receding into nothing.
Nova didn't look up to see if they were questioning her actions, she knew that they were and merely said, "It'll restore her energy. Give her a half a minute or so and she'll be up and about again good as new."
True to her word, a moment later Midnight seemed all-but "healed" as it were. At the sight, Aryn turned to Nova, asking her, "What did you do? And who ARE you exactly?"
The Nether Dragyn laughed and mockingly bowed low. "Nova Despitch at your service! And I just healed your healer, so to speak, so you should be thanking me. I restored Fuzzy's energy with some of my own and took the curse from the blade that stabbed Vampy over there-" she gestured towards Nick, "On myself. Seeing as I'm a Nether Dragyn, it won't harm me any. And until we manage to put a knot in those two's knickers, you're stuck with me, so get used to this." she added as an afterthought, taking a seat on a root beside Chalgrish. She wasn't about to START the journey, but she had made it clear that she would foillow them until all threat to the Nether Dragyns was diminished. And thus, she awaited their decision on where to strike out for next.
