There was a large hole in the ground in the mountains. A deep hole that looked as if it ran deep and never had a bottom. There was a foul odor emanating from the hole and no living thing would dare to go near it. And for good reason, for hit s was no ordinary hole. Over the opening there was a strange black glowing grate, or at least there used to be. This grate kept something in the bottomless pit, though everyone just thought the grate was used to keep animals out. The truth was that there was a creature kept in there. A creature so dangerous that many men died just trying to get it there to put it in this tomb. And now it was free.

The creature moved through the mountains and entered the forest, sucking the life out of anything that got close to it. The name of this thing was unknown, and so that is what everyone called it. It referred to itself as a him, and he rather liked the name Unknown, so he kept it.

Unknown was no normal creature. He was able to suck the life, and the magic or powers out of any living thing. And this is what made him so dangerous. He was always looking for more. More power, more life, but never could find someone with enough life and power to keep him satisfied. That is, until now. He had felt someone pass over his cell, a woman with white hair and strange black clothing. She had been chasing a goat and at first he thought he was just getting his hopes up. But the moment her foot hit that grate, it was confirmed. This woman is what he had been looking for. He was going to find her, and he was going to feed from her for as long as she would live through it.

Shina crept along the ground slowly as she made her way deeper into the forest. She had yet to find anything big enough to feed her and Luka for more then a night, and so she was forced to move further in. She sighed heavily as she came to a large river. She crouched beside it and dipped her hands into the water, splashing the water up onto her face and running her wet hands through her white hair. She lifted her gaze and looked around her, the strange light pink eyes of her's picking up on movement down stream. She narrowed her eyes a bit, the pair of orbs turning to the strange black and purple mix before returning to normal. "An elf and a dragon..." She tilted her head to the side, standing.

"I wonder where those girls came from."

Amkar slowly lefted of the ground, His scythe disappering. He looked at the creator one mroe time before he flew high into the sky. He only thought "closer and closer till the town new begining" He had flow high enough off the ground to be by the clowds.

He looked at the city, before he made a a strong wind swip the city and the forest, causing the trees to sway and the windows in houses to shake. He looked up at the sun to see the immage of deayh allum in its shine. He then made then wind that was blowing all around the ground a bit faster but it carryed a relaxing breaze to calm those in the forest and city down.

He then looked at the casle and made a brease open all the windows leting the relaxing breese flow into the casle. He thought "Let them relax"

Verade set a hand on her hip, raising her eyebrows. This woman's ego wasn't nearly as large as her mouth.
"Feeling lucky? I feel more than lucky." She grinned, stepping backward gracefully until she was fully in the sun, her sword a vibrant shade of vermilion. The handle was perfectly cool - yet the blade was scorching at over a thousand degrees. Verade grinned excitedly, crouching into a defensive position. Behind her, the wind whipped at the back of her dress and strands of black hair.
She raised the sword high above her head, watching the wind soak into the blistering blade. Among the vermilion, a baby blue swirled in, striping the red metal with blue. Verade grinned so hard her cheeks hurt, a spark of insanity twinkling in her pitch black eyes.
"Ready for the fun?"

Alanna laughed "Fun for one of us, but doubtless rather uncomfortable for the other!" she said, before cocking her head towards the Felguard "Be a dear and kill her for me would you?" she said, and the great beast roared, before running towards the girl, bring the great axe round at a speed that an ordinary human would slice with a small dagger. Alanna was no fool though, she knew the girl would best the felguard, if she allowed her to use her full strength on it. Raising her staff Alanna unleased a bolt of energy towards the girl, the purple light illuminating the clearing briefly as it sped towards it's target, the spell would paralyse whatever part of the girl it hit, and Alanna was aiming for her sword arm. Not giving the girl a chance to recover if she evaded the bolt Alanna also unleashed several balls of fire in quick succession, aiming for places she expected the girl to dodge to. "Feeling quite so lucky now darling?" she asked, laughing as she unleashed her magic

Gillian looked the elf in the eye “I’m Gillian, and yes, this day has not been a good one. I apologize for screaming as I did, that sound has never come out of me before, I assure you I’m just as shocked.” Gillian couldn’t help herself, she stared at the dragon, he was unlike any she had ever seen. “May I ask you another question?” She took a step closer the pair “How does an Elf, and yes I knew you were an elf, your hair is as fair as mine, mortals don’t have that coloring. Anyway, how does an elf and a dragon such as yourself Deruku, come to be together? I have to admit your two races don’t usually interact well.” Gillian blushed, “I’m sorry that was rude, I guess there is no reason that you shouldn’t be together, I mean…I should probably stop talking now.” Gillian inwardly cursed herself, Angels are articulate and eloquent, not a rambling idiot. What a fine mess, the first elf I met in a long time and I make myself look like a common uneducated wench. "I'm not usually like this." she said, her face now thirty shades or pink.

the soft smile remained on Argexis's face as he listening to the girl's rumbling, who called herself Gillian, "well then, Miss Gillian, I was once lord of the forest[s] called winter woods, but it got completely destroyed by the war between Demons and Angels, before that happened, when i was strolling in my forest, i found Deruku, in the worst wretched state, then any i've ever seen, took me 5 years to restore him back to health, for why he wishes to follow me, i do not know, you might want to ask him th-"


just at that moment he hear a scream, and so did Deruku as their head immediately flew to the direction of the scream, upstream, keeping his spear behind him, and took his sliver long bow that have been hanging loosly around his shoulder, into his hands, as they ran towards to scream, Argexis held his hand out at Deruku as it glowed a dim white, Deruku's size slowly began to enlarge, the shrinking spell have been remove, with that done, Argexis's hand continued to glow white and a shape of an white arrow appeared on his right hand, and before long 2 figures came into sight, a girl, and a creature that stank of death, Aregxis twitched his nose a bit, due to the hideous smell that creature is giving out.

Then without a second thought he took aim and released the holy arrow in his hands towards the creature, as two more instantly appeared in his hands reloading his weapon, and fired, as a few of that was repeated but in different colors by the following way as they are fired as well, light blue (ice), red (fire) and green (wind)

As Argexis was telling her about they way he and Deruku met Gillian felt a change in the forest then all three of them heard a cry. Argexis and Deruku were faster then she was and had immediately ran towards the sound, Deruku becoming larger as they went. Gillian reached for her dagger that she kept concealed at her thigh and ran with them.
When Gillian caught up to them she saw who had made the scream and what had caused it. The creature stank of death and made Gillian very uneasy. Argexis was already attacking the thing, Gillian stood by with her dagger at the ready. She watched Argexis hit it was arrows, the creature forgot about the girl, dropped her and began advancing on Argexis.
Gillian hurried over to the girl and began dragging her out of danger. She hide them both behind a bolder, and looked at the girl. She was very pale and lifeless, like that thing had been sucking out her soul. Gillian rested her hand on the girls cheek, it was cold, the girls hands were cold too, her whole body was cold. Her life was almost out of her body, but there was still some left, all Gillian had to do was warm her up, and this she could do. She took the girls hands and placed them by her side, then she put one hand on the girls forehead and the other on the girls stomach and let warmth and healing run from her body into this young women.

Deruku continued to enlarge, as Argexis looked at the creature as it moved away... somewhat rather floatily, his afraid of dragons?... no a being like that wouldn't be afraid of dragon... either that or he find them troublesome to battle with Argexis thought in his mind when his body was pushed forward gently by Deruku obviously wanting something from him.

"ah yes right i almost forgot... your original size would be too far too big, and catching unwanted attention..." touching Deruku's huge head, his hand glowed a dim blue as the dragon started to shrink in size again, quickly going back to it's shrank sized. With a wave of his hand, his enchanted arrows dispersed into the air by changing into little green orb glows, the green orbs followed Argexis as they approached the unknown girl, once standing in front of her he knelt down and placed his left hand on her forehead feeling her head, his brow arched up with curiosity then turned to Gillan, "Most human can't heal this quickly... your not a human are you?" with that said, he made a gentle swing with his other hand as the green orbs dashed into the girl's body refilling part of her energies. His green eyes turned to the unknown female. "How are you feeling? you have better be more careful... moving alone... isn't very safe for anyone in this... forest"

Just then a low deep voice seem to boom out of no where, "Argexis, that thing from earlier... I think i've heard it from somewhere before, the more i look at it.. the more i'm sure that.... that thing is it... whatever it is" then came a series of chuckles, Aregix smiled to the unknown voice's comment, "We'll eventually come to know what is that... thing, and find it's weakness Deruku..., it seems to hate dragons..." Argexis turned as Deruku as they chatted with each other for a while.

Shina looked at the man, letting out a light gasp. "I have always traveled alone.. Until now nothing was strong enough to even get that close." She was grateful for the power boost and it was quickly integrated into her own strange energy. She took a moment more before she stood, looking to the dragon and placing her hands together in front of her chest, then bowing low to him.

"Greetings ancient one. I am Shina.. A cousin to the Dragutse clan of dragon demons." She said quickly, knowing he would catcher her words. She then looked to the elf.

"I don;t think he is afraid of the dragons.. But I do know that he was imprisoned by them. I don't know everything.. But I know a little. I was able to read what is left of his memories before you were able to get him off me."

Miko stood at the base of a large tree looking around the dark forest. It was strange and she was hoping that nothing caught her off guard. With the slug in her chest she had a harder time coming back out of her berserker state and she was afraid that she would kill someone when stuck in that state. She knew oft he evil slug that was taking over her body. She already seemed to be dead. She did not have to breath, her heart was slow, her skin was cold as ice, and her eyes were dull. Slowly she was loosing herself to the slug.

Gillian shivered all over and remained kneeling, she hadn’t healed anyone like that in years, and never in her human body; at least it worked. She was faintly aware of what was going on around her. The girl , Shina, had thanked her and Argexis had said something about healing quickly and not being human, she wasn’t sure if he was talking to her, but she wasn’t about to answer. No one was supposed to know what she was, unless of course they knew. No one was told when it happened and she hadn’t told anyone sense. Wings are very precious to angels, giving them up was something they never spoke of, unless it was necessary.
She looked up, puzzled to see Deruku back to his normal size, or what she thought was a normal size. Shina seemed to have some knowledge about this creature and there was one thing she wanted to know. “What was that, and how did he get a hold of you? “ she asked Shina, then cocked her head a bit “And what did it do to you to suck so much life away?” There was one more question she would have liked to ask, but that would have given her away, best to keep quiet about that for now. She wasn't sure she could trust these people, not yet.

-In the forest walking he is wearing an dark robe with a hood to cover his head and face. On his back is a great sword that is wrap with white tape that have holy words on them. He got an small long sword on his right side and while walking he noticed something in the air. While looking up he sence an powerful energy and he kneel down and the touch the ground. He start feeling it and look to the sky walking to the power. Using the nature to hide his smell and use the shadow to hide where is he. Running and being sleathly to find the powerful energy and he stop and he jump to the tree and looks down and see a woman ((Shina))-

Shina could feel another person close by and she lifted her head, her light pink eyes scanning the trees close by. She narrowed then, but only as she tried to pick out the energy signature of the person, but when she found that she was still not healed enough to, she sighed and gave up. She lowered her eyes back to the elf, the dragon and the angel. "If anything... That thing.. Is going to kill someone... Soon..."

---

Miko stopped, feeling the power that suddenly was close. She knew this power and she whipped around quickly, pulling Redeemer from her back and pointing it at the man that stood there, a grin on his face. "Kage.. " She hissed, feeling the anger welling up in her chest. She tried to fight the urge to go into her berserker rage, but it was nearly impossible, especially now that she had that slug in her chest.

"Ok Miko.. Poor, disillusioned Miko. You just don;t understand what it is that I am trying to do for you." He started, folding his arms behind his back and taking a step toward her, watching as she started to violently shake from trying to stop her berserker rage.

"I am trying to unlock your power.. Trying to find the power that you have not let come out yet.."

"Only to use me for your own sick desires!" Miko spat at him, having to take a step back and close her eyes tightly. her body began to grow in size, reaching a full seven feet tall once she had finally lost control. Her eyes, when opened again, were a deep red and glowing. Redeemer turned into a large clear scimitar and as Miko took a step forward, Kage grinned.

-Look at her wounds and nods and he jump down and he put his hands up. It mean for him that he not going to attack. While walking closer to the woman and he took out a medic pack from his back bag and put in near you. He kneel down and slowly walk backwards and stands up and turn and walked away since my great sword is wrap with angelic writing. Some people will think that he is angel have demonic items to destroy.-

Gillian watched Shina explain what she knew of the creature. She completely agreed that it would kill, as many times and as often as it could, and that it would be back. The creature had the feel of death about it, and that was all, death.
She noticed a change in Shina’s stance as body tensed, she began to look in the forest, as if she felt something, then shrugged and relaxed again. Out of seemingly nowhere a man walked out of the forest. Gillian quickly grabbed her silver dagger, which was surprisingly further away then she thought it was.
The man walked forward very submissive and placed a bag near Shina. Gillian watched very confused as he stood back up and walked away again. He had a very large sword on his belt, he looked as if he could use it too. How very odd, she thought.
When he had left Gillian looked at Shina with a puzzling grin and shrugged her shoulders. She looked over to Deruku and Argexis, wondering what they thought of the display. Then she burst out laughing. “I’m so sorry” she gasped between giggles “that just shook me as funny, it wasn’t, that’s why you aren’t laughing, but I can’t help it.” another wavy of hysterics washed over her. Her hair fell out of the messy knot she had tied it in and cascaded down her back and in her face. She sobered slightly “You will find help and kindness in the oddest of places, I believe that man kindly left you with a medicine pack. That was very nice of him, those are not easy to come by.”
That was one thing she enjoyed about being human, laughing so hard you cried and enjoyed it. “That was a good laugh,” she sighed “We should probably leave this place before that monstrous creature comes back, or worse.” After the last shudders of laughter stopped, she lifted her skirt and replaced her dagger in its sheath on her thigh.

Bliss watched, hearing no pure evident reply and becoming calmly and subtly ignorant of the other beings around here. Deep in her mind, if she even had such a thing, she felt something rising. Erupting from a long forgotten dwelling. Ah, she could recall this creature, remember when it first appeared, and remember when it first was locked away. When it first was locked away, all feared it, for it fed upon life. And of course, at the time, she was alive.

Thus, she could only faintly recall the beastly being.

She gripped her fingers around her staff tightly, the orange light of the lantern upon its end beginning to flicker. Soon the strange light itself began to douse, being snuffed by some other-worldly knowing. Bliss felt it. Death, calling to her. Someone was dying, and she was to go fetch the soul that left that body.
Just by the feeling, the orange light of her lantern slowly turning a steamy silver, she knew it was someone powerful. A woman. Beautiful, strong. A good victim for such a being.

"Ah, I hear the sweet whisper of Death's calling. Far well." Bliss turned her head, the wind whipping through her long coiled dark hair one last time before she became greatly contrasting in her own way, and disappeared, like a painting being undone.





She appeared in a distant place, not too distant though. She watched, perched high and tucked into folds of space to be unseen. Where she could not touch or be touched. Where she was nothing more than the Afterlife escort. And a slight pity fell upon her as she watched the beast suck life from this woman, and her lantern grew darker and darker, until it was only shades away from being black. When her lantern turned black, and the light turned to only smoke, it meant that the woman's life would be lost completely, and Bliss would have her to take to her spiritual resting.


But people came, flocking to the incident and helping. Soon, her lantern twisted colors and recoiled into a tiny flame that soon began to burn a normal hue of orange again.

How is it that she has been saved? Usually the Unknown leaves none to tell his story...


Bliss seemed to watch from the unseen corner of existence, between life and death- on a parallel where no one saw her. Where she was non-existant to the living. She waited, mirror-like eyes falling over the people gathered there with great intrigue. People, living, were so strange. She could not comprehend the different emotions each of them felt. Ah, how dear a gift, and deadly a burden, it would be for her to be human again...


Finally, Bliss stepped forward, slowly appearing into the physical realm like a picture being drawn upon, until she was fully there. Clothed in her strange and somewhat revealing black attire, her eyes reflecting all they saw. She held her staff at her side and sighed.

"The creature will not return yet with so many to attempt its defeat. Instead, it will seek you out one by one." She said, her voice holding a strangely sultry yet eerie tone to it, fresh from the Purgatory betweens of the middle-level of existance.

"Shina, you are very lucky to have survived. But he shall not stop until you are nothing but a tourist for my leading." Bliss said softly, looking over to the others before she gave a soft smile upon her black lips- a sign of hospitality and unharm.

OniIgnasha wrote:Shina watched as the man jumped down, then tilted her head to the side as he put the medic pack down. She knelt down and picked it up, turning it over in her hands then ran after him. "Hey! Wait! Human!" She called, having been able to feel something from him being that close.

"How did you know I was injured?" She then stopped for a moment. Wait.. Never mind.. How did you find me?" She asked him, looking over at him, her light pink eyes searching his face for any signs of emotion. She then lightly pushed her mind out to his, seeing if she could read his mind. To find what he was thinking. As the same time she started to search the Zone for any information on this man that she could find.

-He looks at her but he is blocking off his mind and emotion. Walks up to her and took off his hood and looks at kneel down-

Do you need help to warp your wounds?

-He said it with most calm on his voice like he never been into war. Then he put his hand on her leg but slowly feel up leg to see if there anymore wounds. While doing that he look into your eyes with his weird eye color and pattern. Then he took out some medic items and get he stuff ready then i stop I look back.-

I notice that you are injured because how you body acts. Did you hear that?
