The clone let out a sigh of relief as the Star was pulled out. True to her word, she began to disappear. She stayed silent for a little while, before turning around.

"Say...shouldn't you go back to safety? It's getting kind of dark already, and it's common knowledge more fearsome beasts appear at night." The clone said.
"B-beasts...?!" Rider gasped.
"Relax, little one." The clone giggled. "You have help, after all...Oh...my time is up..."
". . ."

Without much else to say, the clone dissolved into nothingness. Rider looked at the place Arle's imitator stood before looking up to the sky. It was darkening already? How time flies. Rider tugged on Arle's armor in order to get her help. "U-um...where should we go now...?" The obvious answer was the Life Sphere, however, t'was a fairly large distance between where they were and said sphere. It was going to be a long trip...somewhat a least.

Not helping things was a sudden feeling of pressure emerging. Something was following them, with a rather keen interest on having them for dinner, if you know what I am saying. No one could actually see it, as it was well-hidden, yet it's existence could be felt. It did not bode well for the magical girl trio.

"Girls...? W-we should get going..."

((Everyone! Roll WIS to guide Rider to the Life Sphere, all while avoiding the mysterious new threat. Rolling 10 or above will keep the distance between you and the monster.))

Paula had nothing more to say, and so she followed Arle and Rider out of the cloud as soon as Arle managed to pull the star out, she looked at the cloud one more time before following Rider and Arle out of the cloud and back onto the ground, where Rider needed to be escorted back to the Life Sphere...She did just came here after all.

"Yeah...We should go back." Paula said sadly...Before trying to point to the direction of the Life Sphere.

"The sphere should be."

Paula pointed to where the Life Sphere Is, as clouds began to darken, she looked up before she started to move forward.

"We should get going, let's go."

Arle's attention was grabbed by Rider's tugging. She glanced down to the smaller girl and offered her a smile, fluttering her wings a bit idly. They sometimes got a little stiff if she let them hang for too long. "Right. Let's get out of here before anything infected shows up." Arle offered, glancing over the skyline. Where was the life sphere again?

18 - 3 = 15 (Arle's Skilled Perception)

"...I think she's right! I recognize a few landmarks from when we flew in. I believe the Life Sphere is thataway." Arle admitted, shifting the star into one arm and offering Rider one of her hands. She didn't want her getting lost or snatched away after all. She was far too familiar with the beasts that viewed lasses like themselves as fitting meals. She would then begin walking back to the life sphere with the other. Unfortunately, flight didn't seem like a safe option with the star in tow.

[TheSpatialWeeg]

Rider un-reluctantly took Arle's hand and began to walk alongside her. She kept herself quiet for a small while, occasionally looking around absentmindedly. "U-um...a-about this...Life Sphere...? Is it...comfortable?" Rider asked before looking around and then...

uXQgU6b2p_1d20+3(Critical Escape Roll.)

"Ah-!"

Rider noticed a large round silhouette on the distance. Could this be it..? She pointed to the large silhouette. "I-is that the one...?" She asked. If one squinted their eyes, they could indeed confirm that it was indeed the Life Sphere. Seems like they were getting close already. What a relief! "L-let's go~...!" Rider said in a more cheerful manner, picking up her pace.

The beast still didn't let up. It was still stalking following it's prey, waiting for an opportunity to pounce on any of them. It watched them, determined to have dinner served up until at least evening.

Paula kept running, but was still close to Arle and Rider so she doesn't separate from the, since the creature didn't seem to be In sight, Paula took the time to explain the Life Sphere to Rider since she wanted to know If It was comfortable enough for her to live In. "Of course, If your not infected with the starvia or anything, then the Life Sphere will be your new home until we find a way to go back to our own worlds, It's one of the two safest places of all of LI and you'll absolutely be safe there." Paula said as she briefly stopped to see Rider point at something from afar.

She wanted to know If the thing she pointed at was the Life Sphere, which Paula quickly answered. "Indeed, let's keep going before that monster shows up, we shouldn't really lose our pacing at a time like this, once we get to the sphere, then we'll be safe." Paula said to Rider as she kept running, while doing so she quickly turned towards Arle.

"How's the star?"

Perhaps it was because of how fast Rider was moving, but Arle was able to keep up the pace pretty well in spite of the weight in her arms. It was either that or a gut feeling was telling her something wanted to eat her and it was... ahem... inspiring her to go fast. "Well... It's not Madou Village, or Primp, but as long as you're staying with a friend I think you'll be pretty comfortable." Arle offered in response. She wasn't the biggest fan of some of the Life Sphere's seedier elements herself, but she doubted Rider was going to be spending time down in the black market--At least not alone. "Maybe some of your friends are there!" Arle went on to offer, smiling down at Rider as she jogged.1d20+2

"R-really...?!" Rider gasped a bit. What Arle said to her...it reminded her why she was transported here in the first place. Could this be? Could this be the planet Amitie was thrown into? ...She didn't want to jump into conclusions just yet, however...Arle's words gave her hope. Hope that she would see her friend again. "O-okay...w-we should keep going then...!" Rider said, obviously getting pumped up a bit over the prospect of finding whom she set out to look for.

Whilst Paula lagged behind in comparison to the other two, they were already close to the Life Sphere. The beast, while coming closer, had still quite the distance to cover. It would basically need to give up now, because as far as his dinner was concerned, it was going to go home with an empty stomach. That meant the group was already pretty much safe even if Paula gone the slowest she humanly could.

While the trio almost made It to the Life Sphere, Paula was having a little bit of trouble reaching them as the creature grows close towards the three, however Paula didn't seem to mind If she did get attacked by the creature, she was sure she'll handle It, but fortunately the trio had almost made It to the Life Sphere. "Great, were doing good just a little bit more now and we'll escape back Into the Life Sphere." Paula said to Arle and Rider as she tried to catch up to them and make It to the Life Sphere.

Arle's there-is-something-trying-to-eat-me senses relaxed a bit as the life sphere came into clear view. She stumbled a bit as she ran, but was otherwise just fine at keeping up with the smaller girls. "That's the idea! It's a pretty nice place, at least compared to the rest of Li. ...We should probably talk about Li and the big war going on when we get to safety, though." Arle went on somewhat awkwardly, a tad concerned for Rider's safety. Li was a dangerous place after all, and the more informed she was the better she'd be able to protect herself when Arle wasn't around to help. Given that she didn't technically live in the life sphere and couldn't just invite Rider to the lunar sanctum, that would be important.1d20+2

Before they could even notice, the trio had already reached a safe haven next to the Life Sphere. The monster was apparently gone. Had it been sidetracked or something? Well, that did not matter, the three were safe and sound. There was bit of silence until Rider decided to say something.

"U-um...I m-may have said this before...b-but...thank you for saving me...!"

MISSION COMPLETE!

Rider ended up glancing at the Life Sphere. So, that was the nicest place on this Li planet? Well, she didn't want to waste any more time into getting there. Although...she wasn't sure she could enter? What should she do?

"I m-may be asking too much from the both of you...but...could any one of you h-help me out over there...? I'm not exactly sure how things work here...but if you want to leave, that's fine...I'll t-try doing this on my own...!"

[You may now write your final post to mark your end of presence (or helping out Rider if you so wish). Thanks for participating!]

[Deleted]

The trio managed to make It to the Life Sphere, without the creature catching on, It was probably gone now since Paula didn't sense anything nearby, Rider thanked her and Arle for helping her. "It was no problem Rider." Paula said as Rider asked how to get Into the Life Sphere. "Oh, you can follow me, I'm going In right now." Paula said to Rider as she walked towards the entrance of the Life Sphere.

But looked back at the star.

"I'm sorry, we couldn't help you."

(End of Presence.)

Arle finally dropped her transformation with a sigh of relief. It was always such a burden on her mind, maintaining that form. She didn't need that since she was here in the life sphere. She glanced down at Rider and offered her an understanding smile. It was pretty rough getting used to this place, especially when you weren't nine years old. She couldn't walk away, not knowing full well the potential for things to go wrong if she did. Thankfully, Viridi probably wouldn't worry about her if she stayed out for a while, what with them being in contact mentally and all.

"...Yeah, I'll stay with you until we've got everything figured out, alright?" Arle offered in reply. It was worth the time it would take. She glanced at the rather heavy star in her arms, biting her lip slightly. She supposed she'd have to take it home with her as well and try to take care of it.

(End of Presence)

[TheSpatialWeeg]

Rider's quiet smile grew a bit larger once she heard that both were going to actually help her to get used to the Life Sphere. She nodded in response ."O-okay...l-lead the way, please...!" She said to both Paula and Arle as she began following them. As she entered the Life Sphere, she had a...vision of sorts. She only saw her special dagger for a brief couple of seconds.

"...Verde Pugnale...?"

Rider kept following Arle and Paula, but her mind drifted away to what she saw. What was that all about? Was she getting premonitions of something? Or was it just a memory flashing back onto her? ...Odd.
