One of the soldiers behind the black-robed stranger finally cracks. "W-What the hell?!" Several turn tail and retreat, the rest stay frozen in place, unsure what to do next. Their leader seems equally befuddled. "What's going on here?"
***
After the light subsides, Nyx releases Fury and he falls to back on his feet. The open wound in his back that ran through to his lung closes up and the two bullet wounds in his left shoulder stop bleeding. Nyx smirks and retreats back into the forest. |

Zander started to lose control of his spell.
"No...What is happening?"
A laugh was heard from behind Zander. Xandox, Zander older brother, was standing there.
'Still tring to stop fights little brother?'
He did an evil laugh.
"What do you want Xandox?"
Zander snaped.
'Just to see what would happen if I stopped the spell and see you watch them all die.' |
| Posted by Fury Three on 09-25-2003 09:05 PM |
| A grin spreads across the leader's face. "Xandox... Heh. On any other day I wouldn't do this for you of all people. But to see how this little man reacts... It may just be worth it." With that he raises his sword again and charges at Ayn with unusual speed. |
| Posted by Ayn on 09-25-2003 09:05 PM |
She approaches the two siblings, an eyebrow raised, gripping her sword. She nods to the older one. "Pathetic excuse for a human being.. Your lack of common sense makes you a disgrace to our race.."
EDIT: She turns to look at the man approaching, shaking her head slightly, and sends a blast of fire his way. |

A portal of some sort opens about a mile into the forest, away from the group of combatants. Gale drops through quickly followed by Sin. He wheezes and coughs. He had used a lot of energy to teleport, and he could hardly move anymore. Luckly for him, Ayn's blast had nearly killed him and his life force was so dim that he couldn't be 'sensed' by other. "Not over...yet. Far..fro..m..ov..er..." Gale slips into unconciousness and Sin glows. It morphs into a image of a tree to hide Gale and quickly blends in with the rest of the flora.
((Basically, the character Gale will be out of it for a short time. I rather not have anyone run into him unless you consult me about it alright? In the mean time, I'll be generics or something.)) |
| Posted by Fury Three on 09-25-2003 09:16 PM |
| The man gasps in surprise and leaps over the blast and onto a tree limb. His eyes are slightly widened from the close call. "Damn..." "Xandox, do you know these people?" |
| Posted by Requiem on 09-25-2003 11:19 PM |
| A rather aggitated creature bounds and hops through the tree limbs in a shower of needles and leaves, attempting to evade the trail of arrows that pursues him. It's rather inconceivable how one bounds about in such a nimble manner when one's clad in bulky gray and black tatters of robes, but this nearly-human creature does so with seeming ease... Until his luck deserts him, and he lands with a tumble of limbs and leaves right in the proximity of this skirmish. |

Rikali eyes her three opponents and glances at Bliss. "Don't have the energy for you. Won't help anyway. Can't move." She replaces the ax across her back and appears to be weaponless. As the three approach her, she lashes out with hidden daggers. One falls, clutching his throat. The other two dodge the blades and swing their blades, grinning triumphantly. Riki, however, was far from finished. She unleashes a blue flash of fire that strikes both men on their chests. "This won't last long either. Need to kill them."
Rose, meanwhile, spots the something fall out of the tree and heads that way, holding Fate carefully. |

Xandox sighd.
'Yes. This little brat is my brother...An Angel for tghat matter.'
Zander laughed.
"I still don't see how I have a demon for a brother."
Zander trusted his staff at Xandox hiting him in the gut.
"Bye bro."
Zander orbed from the site to a house in the mountains.
"Damnit...Why did he have to show up."

"Not him, these strangers." He drops out of the tree and looks at Ayn. "Who are you?"
***
Groans escape the two men struck by Rikali's fire, but they stand their ground. One of them lunges again and makes a wide horizontal swipe at Rikali. |
| Posted by Gale on 09-26-2003 07:51 PM |
| A man watches the conflict closely before standing. "What a intresting development. I should tell Lord Seraphus." The man stands and bolts off into the woods. |
| Posted by Wolf on 09-26-2003 08:26 PM |
| Riki hisses her breath in and takes a step back, forgetting about the arrows lodged in her leg. She cries in pain, a cry that turns quickly into a scream of agony as the swipe by the person in front of her draws a crimson line across her stomach. She lashes out with a hidden dagger, hoping to catch him in his chest. |
| Posted by Fury Three on 09-26-2003 08:34 PM |
| Failing to notice the knife lodged in his chest, the soldier takes another swing and suddenly realizes he's doomed. With the full force of his weight he falls forward in an attempt to tackle Rikali as he falls. The second man jumps in and tries to help bring her down. |
| Posted by Wolf on 09-26-2003 08:36 PM |
| Rikali screams again, the mans dead weight rendering her helpless to the next attack. The steel bites deep into her side, through two of her ribs. She erupts into her true form with a explosion of blue fire to get her opponent away from her. |

| From seemingly no where a cloaked man appeared in the middle of the fray. He carried a large sword that had two blades that twisted over each other (like the oniblade) one black one white. The black blade was jagged and serrated, the white blade how ever was sharp enough to cut a strand of hair that was laid across it. He moved so quick one could barely take in what was happening until it was too late. He saw the man slash out at the woman with the sword, he reached in side of his cloak and grabbed a small hatchet with the word Vengance carved crudley in the oak handle, with all his might he hurled it at the man and heard the crack as it split through his back and he fell over. Two other men lunged out of the thickets, swords raised, he turned behind him, cloak flowing in the wind, and lifted his boot and slammed it into the throat of the first man who than fell to his knees gagging, he lifted his sword and with the grace of a dancer he cut the man across the chest and turned and decapitated the other man. He chuckled to himself and wiped the blood from his sword. He walked over to the woman and lifted his axe from the mans back. His eyes seemed to glow an eerie pale blue from inside the blackness of his hood. |

The creature's seemingly malnourished form stands out starkly from beneath the bulky robes of his clothing as he draws himself to his feet, which remain shrouded as well. Momentarily, he's standing with delicate hands protruding from each sleeve, but each dainty, almost efeminite hand is tipped with a razored claw.
Again his shaky frame betrays his physical capacity, and the demon drops into a crouch and pounces at the nearest attacker. He uses the human as a springboard to the next antagonist, the first man already dead and slipping to the ground with three smooth gashes in his throat. |
| Posted by Fury Three on 09-26-2003 08:52 PM |
The force of the Rikali's blast blows the first man's dead body into pieces and flings them into the treetops, producing a sickening sound similar to falling rain.
On witnessing the stranger's sudden attack, the remaining soldiers panic and take off back towards the treeline. |
| Posted by The Darkest Of Angels on 09-26-2003 09:02 PM |
| He smiled as he saw the men run off, he lifted his left hand and it began to glow the same blue as his eyes did. He muttered a few words and five bolts of light issued forth from his finger tips, they were like harpoons attached to the rope flying towards its prey. The five bolts twisted around eachother and flew in everydirecction, blasting through the tress sending splinters every where. Electricity seemed to spark from his eyes as he put forth more energy. The first man to look back tripped over a root and fell forward and slammed into one of the previously broken trees, the shreded log tearing through his chest cavity, the second man began to panic and pushed the one in front down. The five bolts of lightning shot straight down at the fallen man and peirced through his heart and sprang forth ffrom his eyes, but no blood was spilled, the wounds cauterized. the second man continued to run but not fast enough, the five bolts wrapped around him and lifted him in the air, continuosly peircing him. Than the stranger lowered his hands and the light began to dissapear and the man fell to the ground dead. The stranger looked to the woman, than a pair of black feather wings (10 foot in wingspan) sprouted from benath the cloak, and he rose into the air and into the clouds. |

| The 'hunting' creature abandons his attacking at the sight of the fighting slacking off, and backs away on his hind legs to lick his bloody claws clean. The demon stops midlick and lowers his eyes at those who remain, in confusion as to whether or not they're friend or foe. |

The spy travels quite a distance away from the forest until he reaches a fortress of some sort. A wall surounds the premises(sp?) and cannon windows are scattered across. Watch towers are stationed on the wall as well and the watchmen are chatting to their co-workers. The spy walks up to the main gate. One of the watchmen look down at him. "Back so soon, Lucas? Get scared?" Lucas snarled. "Shut it, Lock. Open the gates, I have something the Lord will be very intrested in." Lock raises an eyebrow and shrugs. "Whatever." The gates slowly open and Lucas strides in. The inside of the fortress is very military like, with barracks and other rooms arranged in a organized pattern. In the northwestern most point, a large building connects to the wall behind it. Lucas walks in and navigates through the complex. Soon he walks into a large chamber where quite a few demons spar with one another. At the end of the building a man dressed in robes and scarfs watches with eagle like eyes. Lucas approaches and bows. "Lord Seraphus. I bring news of some....strangers." Seraphus doesn't look at Lucas, nor appear to be that instrested. "So? Those idiotic humans always wonder into this region." Lucas nods. "Yes I know but these humans were...diffrent. The fought stronger then some demons." Seraphus looks at Lucas, his face somewhat intrested now. "Explain yourself." Lucas continuous. "They came out of nowhere, sir. Literally, they just fell from the sky." Seraphus scoffs. "Unlikely, but go on." Lucas was annoyed to be interupted, but he didn't dare speak his thoughts. "There were two women, a child and a man. The man was badly wounded and the blonde haired women attacked him. They fought and she seemed to have killed him....with holy energy." Seraphus raises an eyebrow. "Hmph, while slightly impressive, I don't see your concern. We've had paladins and the like in the area." Lucas shakes his head. "She was far more powerful then any paladin we have seen, she killed some demons too. From what I saw, she wasn't even hurt. The other woman and the child didn't smell human. More like one of us. Though she didn't seem intrested in the blonde girl. She fought the demons too. As far as the man, it seems though he died, but I think he might of teleported. He seemed like something entirely diffrent then humans and demons.. He had the skill and power of an archangel, but he fought like a rabid animal." Seraphus runs his fingers through his nearly platinium hair. "I might have heard of such a being, but it seemed like fairy tales to me. Though I'm more intrested in that blonde woman you mentioned. Are you sure she was not an angel or something of the sort?" Lucas shakes his head. "No sir. She smelled and sensed like a human." Seraphus turns around. "Very intriguing... Monitor this group. I want to learn about them. Gather a team if you must." Lucas' face conveyed shock. "Me sir? But I'm only a.." Seraphus spun around. "Don't question me. This is your chance to rise up in the ranks. That's what you want, is it not?" Lucas nods quickly. "Of course it is, sir." Seraphus turns again. "The hurry up and do it!" Lucas nodded again and ran off.
((I think that's my longest non-intro posts. @_@)) |

((Wow. An indepth post. Good job))
Rose stares wordlessly at the creature, her mouth falling open. For a moment, no sound escapes.
Then, a high pitched scream able to break glass erupts from the girls mouth. Rose's hair becomes the color of her name, a deep blood red. It shortens and flies upwards, forming large spikes. Her fingernails lengthen and drip with some toxic poison. Her pupils resemble those of a dragon's. From her shoulder blades, two draconic wings stretch through her shirt. Roselenna screams again, unused to the pain accompanying her bones changing place. Her open mouth reveals a set of fangs much like her loving uncle's. (such a loving uncle, Sadik is...)
The young demon girl swipes at the creature with her nails.
((Happy hints: Rose's nails are like Katayk's...poison.))
EDIT: Rikali falls to her knees and gasps for air, the transformation having sapped her of her strength. She coughs violently and puts her hand to her side, where the blood pours out unstopped. A wave of pain from her legs, stomach, side, and head hit her at once. She falls face first into the dirt. |
| Posted by Requiem on 09-27-2003 09:40 PM |
Had his appearence wrought such a transformation in such a seemingly innocent girl? The ignorant demon is completely taken aback by this hideous mockery of a young girl that stands before him, unable to stare with his claws to his mouth in a mid-lick at the blood... From fight to fight it seems he's jumped, though he'd much rather be terrified of blade-weilding humans than toxin-dripping demons...
With the akwardness of one engourged on the blood of a hunt, the young demon's cloaks are cast away, the bulky and cumbersome garments landing with a plume of dust and a jangle at his side. Now his own body is revealed, if you could call it that... So thin was he that he almost seemed starved, but that tall frame was adourned with lean, taunt muscle that could be seen stretching and tensing beneath his remaining garments...
It seemed he wore as ragtag an outfit as the montage of cloak pieces- old scrounged up pieces of fabric which colors had been bled out of over the years... Varrying tatters of grey and black fabric were held to his body with silver rings- some on his waist, others on his arms and ankles, about his upper leg, and even his abdomen and neck were ringed by these bangles. Some even bore signs of chain and bindings, indicating perhaps he'd been subdued in the past.
Still odder might be the markings that covered the exposed flesh of his abdomen, arms, and portions of leg- black markings on pale, grey flesh that form a language of spidery foreign characters. That flesh is now flexed over muscle over bone that draws this creature into a position in which it could either attack or flee, whichever seemed prudent. |
| Posted by Wolf on 09-27-2003 09:44 PM |
((damn, Element, that thing sounds ugly.))
Rose gawks at the creature for a moment before slashing at it with her hand, hoping to drive it away. A strange power builds up behind her nails and is unleashed as a poisonous ball that races to engulf the creature. Roselenna's eyes open at this, having no clue how she did that. |
| Posted by Gale on 09-27-2003 09:45 PM |
((Whee....new main characters for me! *jumps up and down*))
Lucas walks through the fortress, searching for candidates for his little team. He'd definately get Lock. Let's see HIM out in the field for once. The coward. ((I'm tempted to name the other two demons "Shock and Barrel" XD)) Lucas sighed. This was gonna be more difficult then he thought. Most of the more inteligent demons would just ignore him. He trudged into one of the barracks. |
| Posted by Requiem on 09-27-2003 10:05 PM |
| The claws that grace this demon's hand flex and extend to a length of about half of a foot, astonishing for hands of a structure such as his. With silver hair falling from their usual resting place in his pale lavander eyes to wave as if buffeted by wind... This only seems to herald a change in behaviour as his claws slash wickedly in the air to produce a glowing aquamarine mark similar to one on his flesh... Which then irks its way into lines of script that hover in the air in front of him, forming a wall of markings and text about him that quite easily disappitates this newly discovered attack of the said creature. |
| Posted by Wolf on 09-27-2003 10:09 PM |
| Rose begins to slowly walk backwards, this creature terrifying her. A blast of silver energy erupts from her palm to help ward it off. The blast has paralyzing effects. |
| Posted by Ayn on 09-28-2003 07:39 PM |
((Hey guys, sorry I haven't been here, circumstances out of my control sent me back home to Louisiana.))
She watches the battle, an eyebrow arched, then yawns slightly. She waves a hand at them, as if mentally dismissing them from her thoughts, then turns towards the forest. She didn't have time to meddle in such petty affairs, her attention was diverted to avenge her mother. |
| Posted by Gale on 09-28-2003 07:47 PM |
| Inside the Sin "tree" a voice quietly speaks that is not Gale's. "Master, she's begun moving." Gale opens his eyes and speaks quietly as well. "Hmph. I didn't know you had that much free-will. Where is she?" Sin resonds. "Into the woods. It's possible she could sense you." Gale cringes. "The I better hope she doesn't. Telling her about Yolanda was a grave mistake..." |
| Posted by Ayn on 09-28-2003 07:55 PM |
| Ayn sniffs the air, it reeks of dark energy.. It seems to be collected in a large protective mass a few kilometers to the south.. She smirks to herself and runs in the desired direction. |
| Posted by Gale on 09-28-2003 08:00 PM |
| Sin echoes again. "She's found us." Gale curses. "How fucking marvelous. I'm not strong enough to fight, I'll need to teleport again." |
| Posted by Ayn on 09-28-2003 08:05 PM |
| Now she's standing in a small clearing, sniffing the air.. The scent was almost intolerable at this point, the bastard had to be close by.. She closes her eyes and lets her senses guide her in the right direction. |
| Posted by Wolf on 09-28-2003 08:12 PM |
| Rose spies her mother laying in the dirt. She rushes over to Rikali's side and helps her to her feet. Riki stares in wonder at the girl. She's not used to seeing her in her true form. Rose stares at Zander ((that's the right name...right?)) and scowls. |
| Posted by Zander on 09-28-2003 08:15 PM |
((Is watching ARJUNA))
After the blow from Zander Xandox laughed.
'Stupid brat...'
Xandox turned around and the ends of his long black trench coat blow up.
'Kill them'
The took out his long sword and taped the ground. many undead beings came from the ground. |
| Posted by Gale on 09-28-2003 08:15 PM |
Sin would have told Gale how dangerously close Ayn was, but it would give it's master away. Besides, Gale was aware. Holy energy was even more noticable then his dark energy. He gathered his strength. "I'll teleport back in the direction she came in..."
Lucas walks up to the watchtower to meet Lock. Maybe he would no some people who would help him. Lock looked up at the other demon, annoyed that his relaxing had been interupted. "What the hell do you want?" Lucas grinned. "I got permission from Seraphus to gather a team to watch the strangers that appeared. Since you don't do anything, you're coming along." Lock sneered. "Like hell I am." Lucas answered without missing a beat. "Like to take it up with the boss?" He stopped and shruged. "Fine, who else ya got?" Lucas shruged. "Uh...only you.." Lock let out a sigh. "Christ, now you know why we don't put you in charge. I'll see if Shock and Barrel will help. That should be a good enough team." Lucas was annoyed by Lock's taking of action. This was HIS chance not that lazy moron's. "Remeber I'm the-" "Yea Yea, I know. Now hurry up." Lock and Lucas than began their search for the "mysterious" Shock and Barrel. |
| Posted by Ayn on 09-28-2003 08:20 PM |
| Unsheathes her sword, staring straight ahead. She didn't know it, but she was boring holes into the back of Gale's skull, she couldn't see the shield but she sure could smell it. She raises her sword, ready to strike. |
| Posted by Zander on 09-28-2003 08:21 PM |
'Now where did you go little brother?'
Xandox clodsed his eyes and disappeared in a burst of flames. |
| Posted by Gale on 09-28-2003 08:22 PM |
| Sin transforms into a gun and lands in Gale's hand. The illusion disappears, with Gale aiming at Ayn's chest from merely a few feet away. "Trick or treat, bitch." Gale fires at Ayn. |
| Posted by Zander on 09-28-2003 08:23 PM |
Zander sat in his home cring.
"I can feel all the pain...all the pain in this world....I CAN;T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" |
| Posted by Ayn on 09-28-2003 08:26 PM |
| Ayn was quite ready for this and sidesteps.. the bullet rakes into the side of a tree, leaving a large gash in the trunk. She smirks at Gale. "Idiot. Obviously, you're not one to think on your feet." She readies a blast of holy energy to take him out with. |
| Posted by Gale on 09-28-2003 08:27 PM |
| "Thanks for opening your mouth to give me some extra seconds." Gale teleports again but not nearly as far. "Damnit, did she really sap that much of my strength?!" |
