Narik'ta's Story

The wind began to spin around madly as the new form hit the barrier. It cooled the flaming water enough to allow the ice barrier to increase in size. Soon the barrier was larger and the wind was moving more rapidly as if angered by the intrusion trying to destroy it. Elyshia felt the barrier react to the next attack and was pleased that her new toys were doing their job to keep her and her new friends inside instead of falling apart so easily. Her arms relaxed for a moment and before Sarka could say another word to Keizer, the woman had her arms wrapped around the fae. Rashad, on the other side of the barrier watched, the woman was phasing through the barriers so quickly that one moment she wanted to question him and Narik'ta and the next she was holding onto a hostage.

"Does she have the power to do such things?" Rashad asked Narik'ta. Turning his gaze over to his sister who was stilling holding onto her blades. She did not often pull them out unless she was angry or felt threatened by something. "I do hope we manage to get out of here before the girls rip one another apart." He mumbled, summoning a dragon to his side that held fire powers. He turned large ruby swirled with ebony dragon toward the barrier and soon fires were eating up their cell. The wind great in size though, blowing out the fire before it could touch the icy core. "She's smart..." Rashad stated.

Sarka's body froze when Elyshia's arms wrapped around her, and her nose snuggled into the girl's neck. She took in a deep breath and then opened her crimson-eyes to study Keizer. "She smells so good, like a forest in blossom." Elyshia whispered, but did not let the girl go. The Fae stood still, keeping her eyes on the barrier, before turning her attention to Cain, who was doing some type of sadistic power to drain the barriers out. Sarka only hoped that the demon was successful enough to free them so that they had a better chance against this demonic woman. "Her heart is so big for you, yet you still manage to lie to her. Don't you?" her voice brougth Sarka's attention back to Kezier and the woman holding her tightly in her arms. "She doesn't know what you did to her people while you were Cain, or the woman you two both cared for only to bring pain to the demon and yourself in the end. Am I wrong?" she asked.

"Keizer..." Sarka spoke, her voice soft because of the hold the woman had around her throat. "Keizer.... kill her..." She pleaded, then remembered the symbol he had handed her earlier. She wondered what it was for but lifted it up enough to put it close to Elyshia, hoping something would happen.

Anya listened to Salvia for a moment. Her blades began to disappear and she nodded. "You're right." They had no personal problems with one another. This woman had not personally killed her friends, though they were at war with one another. In all she didn't even know who the woman had killed and couldn't hold her accountable for them. She glanced around the barrier and saw her brother trying desperately to escape. His fire kept being put out by the barrier when she noticed it faulter. Soon the barrier's winds were dying down. The fire slowly starting to melt through the ice. That was when she noticed Cain sucking in the power of the barrier. "It seems we won't be in here much longer."

Elyshia began to melt away, her body shifting into water before running away. Soon her voice wrapped around the group. "Don't think I wasn't expecting you two destroy my giants. You've taught me well Keizer, to not let my personal being be right there with my enemies, it could cause us both problems." Her laughter echoed through the forest, and started to fade out as if she were magically throwing her voice from a totally different direction.

Sarka glanced over at Salvia, who was now standing with her staff aimed at Keizer, instead of the woman who was once there. The fae then turned her eyes over to Cain and the rest of the group for only a moment before turning away without any words and walking back toward the house. Anya allowed her weapons to fall at her sides as she moved closer to Cain and Keizer then watched the young woman leave without a sound. The girl didn't even run to Keizer with thanks for helping her, or said anything to Salvia who had shown up to protect her as well.

"Odd," she mumbled, staring at the fae then returning her gaze to Keizer. "So we know now that she learns from what she sees, for sure. And her main element is water and ice."

"Which means fire is a weakness, like Cain had mentioned before our little run in with the witch." Rashad stated, gliding past Narik'ta and standing beside his sister. "But we don't know what abilities she can learn and which abilities she can not. It would best that we don't show our powers until we are sure we can capture and kill the woman." He took in a deep breath just as the dragon climbed back onto his face and became the black tattoo that wrapped around his right eye.
