[BrienaSkysong]

She squeaked, rather comically, as a shadow swooped over her. Or rather, toward her.
She kicked the Gelding back into a fast gallop.
She didn't trust strange men.
She snapped out of it and pulled the horse to a stop. But she drew her blade as the Charger reared high, pawing the air.

Her hood flew back again.

[Sage Akia]

Sage stopped in front of her, his coat flying around him. He flapped his wings slowly and gracefully like an angel. He wore a smirk on his face as he looked down upon her. "Why hello," he said seductively, "Nice night for a ride, huh?" He then noticed she was pointing her sword at him. "Please put that away, I'm not here to hurt you." He said in an even more seductive and soothing voice.

[BrienaSkysong]

She wasn't going to fall for him That easily.
She backed the charger easily. It was a well trained Gelding, with a soft mouth, and it backed without hesitation.
Briena never took her eyes off of the half vamp as she backed her mount back toward the falls.
She had seen a little path going up behind the veil of water.

"I do not plan to give in, Sir... Not ever."

The engraving on her blade flashed clearly in the starlight, just then:
"Briena SkySong. GrandDaughter of King Lionel Skysong. To My Granddaughter with love."

Bri's eyes flashed, blazing.

She looked like a warrior Goddess.

The gelding rose on his hind legs and changed. The grey dappled coat became ink black, not a spec of white to seen anywhere.
The gender became fully intact. A stallion. And the size grew to massive proportions.
Gairloch snorted as he landed on his fours.

[LordBlackShadow]

Balomar sighed as he heard people shouting toward his direction. Instead of panicing, he continued to sit in his tree, leaned up against the giant plant with his hands behind his head. He stared up at the sky as the voices grew closer and closer. Still, he did not move.

After a while of silence, then galloping sounds, then wings flapping, the voices started up again. He looked almost directly down from his tree and spotted a couple of people just standing there, talking. One was a female with a long blade with some weird inscriptions on the blade, that he couldnt read due to the distance, and the other was a man in black with somewhat large wings.

He sighed, again, as he sat up on the branch, still watching down. He slowly slid an apple from his trench coat and began munching on it... Crunch... Crunch... Swallow. Crunch... Crunch... Swallow.

[Valekor]

Samael was again rather surprised by the female. She had fled, and rather quickly at that, after threatening him.
He wasn't the type to call for retribution or attack someone just for a threat, but this had raised his curiosity.
It was the Vampire that had led her to depart in such a hurry, not his own presence, he was sure of that. He pondered on the development of recent events, should he follow or stay? Surely following the two would prove to be much more interesting then staying here.
"Am I starting to think like a human now? Would the bigger group here not provide more answers then following the elf and vampire on a.. whim?"
He shook his head, these two weren't even human but something compelled him to follow, and he had never just did things on a 'whim'.

Spreading his own bright white wings he flew up into the air with angelic grace and soared the sky, keeping his gaze locked on the two. Descending by folding his wings, Samael fell down and landed without a sound in the shadow of some tree's, a few dim glowing feathers slowly gliding to the floor, his wings entirely disappeared without a trace of their existence.

The shadows would give him enough protection from being easily spotted, still the faint angelic glow would eventually give him away. It wasn't something that he intended on hiding, he had some pride in his angelic being.
He didn't say a word or make a sound as he observed the two, the vampire wasn't of much interest, but the elf was.
"An angelic visage.. a fiery warrior.. " It was said that humans hid beauty within, while elves showed beauty outside. This did not dismiss that a human could still be beautiful on the outside and an elf on the inside, though Samael had never really gotten the true meaning behind this.
Still, this one showed.. Well, he had never see someone change quite so quickly, that was for sure.

[Sage Akia]

Sage expression changed to one of dissappointment. He really did not want to have to fight her. A presence tugged on the back of his mind, letting him know that the angel was here. Dammit, this guy seemed to turn up at the wrong moments. He flicked his dagger backwards in the angel's direction, hoping that would be enough of a warning to not interfere. "That was a nice trick," Sage said with his usual seductive voice, "But it really wasn't neccessary. And I'm not here to fight you, but if you plan on attacking me i will retaliate." Sage gripped the handle of his sword and slowly pulled it from its sheathe, the blade sung as it was drawn from the scabbard.

[Sonusai]

Sonusai sighs from her little enclosed space in a clump of trees. Her long black and green renaissance dress rustles around her dainty feet, soaked from the rain, as it poured outside her little makeshift home, under one of the larger oaks. She smiles faintly, her ocean colored eyes twinkling. Sighing, she then takes out her small embroidery hoop, and continues where she left off, hoping no one noticed her.

"Cross one, loop out, stitch two," she said to herself, working on a particularly hard rune. A sudden burst of anger startled her. "There must be a fight nearby."

Sonusai sighs to herself, and looks up, spying a cluster of people. She hums a small mournful tune, and a small burst of air rushes towards the crowd, hoping to bring back some news.

[BrienaSkysong]

Briena growled. She could smell what all near her were feeling.
Attraction from the Vampire...
Intrigue from the Angelic...
And she could smell her own rage.

Briena leapt from Gairloch's back, and the horse vanished.
She had, apparently given up the safety of a mount. Such was the appearance to those who didn't know what she truly was.

She continued backing up the path that led behind the Falls that roared so close at her back...
She glared toward the Angel. Then her eyes softened faintly. He looked a bit like her sister, Grace.
But Grace had green eyes, like their mother's.

Then...

Briena vanished.
Her scent, her presense, her sounds... All of it vanished as she disappeared.
She just wasn't there... But maybe she was...

She reappeared, a good twenty miles away, still shielding her aura.
She knew that using this much of her precious stores of magic would likely cause her grief in the end, but she prefered this to being touched by any man other than her comrades.
Her comrades' touches were only brotherly and protective. No seduction included whatsoever.

She trembled, her magic beginning to run out.

She managed to vanish and reappear thirty more miles away, well out of range of the Vampire, and the Angel, for that matter, before she fainted.
She was still in the forest, as it was a massive one.
But she was pretty much out for the count...

OOC: Blackshadow, you need to put your profile in the ooc signup thread before you can actually join this thread.
Till then, I cannot acknowledge your char's presense. Sorry...

[Sage Akia]

Sage snarled at this and let his wings dissappear in a storm of feathers. Nothing pissed him off more than his prey getting away from him.. and this time it was a girl with beauty that surpassed all others. When Sage landed on the ground black fires jumped from his feet. His rage was getting the better of him now. Sage turned in the angel's direction, his eyes glowing crimson. The angel would be the best person to take his anger out on.. besides.. angels were vampires' worst enemies anyway.

[BrienaSkysong]

ooc: Hmm. Nothing much that I can do here...)

[Sonusai]

Sonusai sat there, quite confused, as the air elemental told her about the events that transpired. An Angel? Really? And a winged Vampire? She was startled to think that either could really be true, and how did the woman disappear like that. Her scent was just gone. She blinks, then puts away her embroidery hoop. Maybe this was a sign that she needed to leave her little shelter and approach them.

Sonusai smoothed her long dress, and slowly approached the angel and the vampire. "Sirs? I beg thy pardon, but if thee wouldst not mind." She curtsies low, her long brown and green curls sweeping the floor. Her voice is as meek as possible, so that they would not be angered. "Sirs, please, art thee really an angel and a pure vampire? Please forgive my intruding on thee."

[BrienaSkysong]

Briena started to come around, slowly. Her aura started to strengthen, and she managed to 'warp' to the Tavern. On her bed. She used the growing strength of her magic to put shields on her room. Shields that would stay strong without feeding off of her magic. These could never be broken, thankfully.
She faded into unconciousness, knowing that no one would be able to get to her. Not even the Angel of Death himself.

A moment later, she woke, realizing the danger to the Angelic.
She was fully rested by now, and her magic had returned to it's full notch.

She went to the window and let her presense find the Vampire, and the Angelic.
Then she followed her senses to the woman's location wit her mind.
She nodded to herself and redirected her attention to the Vampire now...

[Sage Akia]

OOC: Just so you know, you can teleport inside of a barrier, or plow through the roof. Or maybe even bust through the floor. ^.^

[Sonusai]

Sonusai rises from her curtsy and dares to look into the vampire's eyes. She yelps quietly, seeing them blood red. Remembering what would happen when her father would be angry, she backs away slowly. "Yes, sir. Please forgive me for disturbing thee, sir." She backs away so quickly that she trips on her own dress, and falls, hitting the ground with a "THUD!" She yelps, then silences herself, forcing back the tears.

Getting back up, she backs away more carefully, then turns around and starts to run, hoping the angry vampire wouldn't follow her. She did not see where she was going however, and somehow managed to get lost. "Drat. Why? This is just like out of a fairytale my mother used to read to me. The girl always gets lost." She sighs, and sits down beneath a large oak tree. Taking a large hooded cloak out of her bag, she puts it on, and lays down, huddled in on herself for warmth.

[Sage Akia]

Sage felt the elf woman's mind touch his. He retaliated with a blow to her mind's barrier. Sage was not in the mood to be toyed with, and if she wasn't going to come down here personally she shouldn't make any attempts at stopping him from killing the angel. Sage sheathed his black sword and slowly pulled the ring off his right middle finger. A long, shining steel great sword shimmered and grew from the ring in Sage's hand. The pommel had spikes coming out of it and the hilt was in the shape of a demon's bones.

[BrienaSkysong]

She pulled away then Shifted into an owl. She soared out the window and soon came to where they were. She Shifted, became a raven, and aimed for his eyes, Shifting again to become a white eagle, then again, into a falcon. All the flighted forms she knew. And she was everywhere at once. A flurry of feathers, fur, talons and claws, fangs.

She was in a fresh rage, and Shifting took no energy from her.
She attacked, fell back, attacked from another side, then fell back again.
She wasn't giving him any room to retaliate, and at the moment, she was fire retardent.
He would have to back away before she would leave him be.

[Sage Akia]

Sage blocked whatever swipe the random birds tried to make. Come on, a stupid bird against a vampire? That was just animalistic idiocy. He could sense that the birds were flame proof, maybe whoever had conjured them had thought a bit. But what about the HEAT from the flames? Oh well, he knew he was quicker than the birds were. He ignored one of the bird's swipes as it slashed at his arm with a talon and turned around. Just like he thought, a falcon was coming at him in the direction the other bird had flown off to. With a mumbled word a bolt of lightning shot from Sage's body and towards the bird.

[BrienaSkysong]

Briena threw up a shield around herself, blocking the bolt. The spherical shield around her expanded, as she Shifted to something he had seen earlier. Herself.
She summoned a bit of water from the Falls and shorted him out with a small wave from behind him. A silent one.

Then she dropped the shield and stood between the falls and him, her blue eyes blazing with rage.
Yet a sickening grin tuf=gged at her mouth. She loved a good fight.

[Sage Akia]

Sage's spell had been over the moment the bolt shot at Bri, so all the water did was piss him off more. Steam came up from his body as his own magical heat charged up with his anger. Now the girl was fighting him... just perfect... As Sage's anger rose, his eyes glowed brighter and waves fo black flames sprung from his feet. With a small thought, Sage sent a huge wave of black flames in the elf's direction. He knew that she'd have to jump or sidestep it and prepared for another atack.

[BrienaSkysong]

Briena grinned devilishly. Then shot upward as a falcon.
The shadow flames washed harmlessly beneath her as she shot toward the falls.
She took shelter in the tunnels under the cliff. Weaving deeper and deeper into the labyrinth of stone.

OOC: Crap post!
