Blood Price [Mercenary RP] [RECENTLY REBUILT!] [Accepting]

[xFacetiousxPuckx]

Akeno watched in irritation as Corvus tried to get upright. Some people just won't accept help... Finally, Corvus gave him permission... Reluctantly... Don't be grateful or anything... The wolf was irritated at this point. His body was tired and drained from healing himself and Johnson, and this guy's attitude was really grinding on him.

Akeno stood slowly and stepped over to Corvus' side and laid a hand on his shoulder. "Don't hit me please." His stated calmly, then he closed his eyes. He focused on sending healing through his hands, and to ignore the minor injuries on his own body that were trying to get healed. He felt the warmth of the healing flow through his hands. Finally, he opened his eyes and dropped his hand. "There." He said tiredly. "You will probably still feel sore," He shot a sympathetic look at Johnson, "But at least you won't die."

That was when he realized that something had been going on while he was trying to heal Corvus. "Someone else? A medic?" He tilted his head to the side and looked around. He looked back and forth between the four people that were standing there. They can deal with whoever that is... He leaned back and sat down, back to the boulder.

Azepael flicked his blade to the side before taking it back to its leather scabbard on his back. The battle-field was nothing more than a silent graveyard of charred flesh, save for the moans of those not quite dead. He turned to make his way back to his Lord, though he did not know if he could even call him that anymore. The situation had greatly changed; although he was reassigned to this supposed Lord Xalelm, the one who had given him orders was way out of contact, along with his troops that accompanied him. He didn't know where these soldiers went, or even if they were still alive.

Azepael was troubled about greater things at the time being, though. That strange voice, whatever it was, summoned him back from the land of the dead. He was sure about that much, but didn't know who or what it was. It had a familiar ring to it, but did not stir any past memories that rung any bells.

He rubbed his temples, slowly. I might as well focus on getting Lord Xalelm back to the council, for the time being. Those are my original orders, after all.

Corvus had a strange expression on his face; like he was there but not totally conscious at the same time. An expression of concentration, but emptiness. After a moment later, he could feel it as well; there was another out here, not too far from the battle that had just taken place. Whoever or whatever it was, Corvus was communicated with it. Azepael had been training for the day he would have to open his thoughts, but never expected to put it to use.

He resolved to sit quietly for the time being, just to listen.

" You know Akeno, I could be totally wrong. It could be some sort of superhuman robot cyborg monster with a big a** chaingun for a hand and a grenade launcher on his shoulder. Or.. It could have been a coward who hid from the blood shed and shot in the air to signal reinforcements. " Saeon laughed and continued to aim around.

(( Im just doing a talking post now cant think of any actions. Be surez to send me a valentine! Im sending one to everyone!

When she recieved no response, she wasn't sure what to think or how to re-act. It was as if the contact had suddenly been lost, and it was gone. Reaching out with her mind, she searched for the presence, her subconcious pulling her forward. She flapped her wings in unision, slowly rising up into the air for a bigger, wider view of the area. Sensing something to the west, she turned, beating her bat-like wings through the air, towards the presence she felt. Soon, she could more than just one, it seemed as if there was a small group gathered somewhere nearby. As she carried herself through the air, she thought she could make out small figures nearby.

[[Sorry for the short post, I'm having some really bad writers block... lol. Don't do drugs. wink ]]

[Demokritos]

(( Sorry for the delays, people. Had a lot of crap going on. ))

Corvus rose slowly, holding onto his right shoulder; it had been reduced to nothing but a pleasant ache at this point, but it would be a little while longer before he would be able to move it properly. Corvus frowned; he was only able to hold contact with that girl for only a few moments, who appeared to be much more adept at such a form of communication than him. On top of that, he was in no condition to fight if the situation arised.

If there's any fighting to do....I'll have to leave it up to these guys.

Corvus flinched at his own thoughts. In the past, he would have never dreamed to rely on others for assistance, since he was almost always capable of handling things himself. And even when he wasn't, he still wouldn't accept help from anyone. Strangely enough, these people seemed different; like he could rely on them, and put some trust in them.

Corvus looked to the sky; he could see the silhouette of a person in the horizon. The sun was starting to rise at this point, so it was nothing more than a shadow. Corvus walked forward a bit, shielded his eyes from the sun as he approached whatever it was.

Yuri stood, following Corvus' gaze. She picked out a humanoid figure silhouetted against the sun, seeming to float above the ground.
The wolf followed as Corvus stepped forward, keeping only a few paces between herself and the swordsman. She knew that even if he wouldn't admit it, he was in no condition to fight.
Her hand hovered near the hilt of Masamune, ready to draw if need be.

(( Hm... Seems i'm having a hard time coming up with something too, but I don't do drugs.. >.>; ))

Saeon still pointed his gun around. " What is it?? Where is it? " He asked quickly and pointed his gun in the direction infront of Corvus. He wobbled himself to a tree while in a crouched position and looked from there. Spread out targets would be harder to hit. " Alright, ready for battle. Be sure to yell if you want me to shoot the thing. "

[[ I don't even remember writing that post up there. I do a lot of drugs. lol. And it's good that you don't, I wouldn't recommend starting. It makes you a little dumb sometimes XD ]]

As she flew closer she began dipping down towards the ground. Their presence didn't feel hostile, but she became a little unnconvinced as she saw guns being pointed at her, ready for fire, hands resting nervously on their hilts. She didn't see why they would be afraid of her, but then again, many people feared the unknown. But she flew down to the ground to be catious, in the air was where she was most vulnerable to attack at the moment. Landing at least 50 feet away from the group, she shield herself from sight behind a rock. Reaching out to the mind that had contacted her, as she found him very easy to sense, she coneyed her message. "Ask them to put away their weapons, or I'm not coming any closer. You have nothing to fear, I'm only an army of one. I mean no harm."

She was quite curious by nature, and had to feel at least a bit thankful to these strangers. They had helped diminish one of her worst enemies. Besides that, it was probably worth knowing what their buissness here was, she didn't think they were native to this land, but she could be wrong.

[Demokritos]

(( NOW it lets me on. My internet sucks. I'll delete the last post and put it in here. -_- ))



Corvus was finally able to get a better look as the creature descended to the ground, even though it shortly vanished from view at the sight of his comrades weapons. Were those wings? He could have sworn he saw wings on what looked like a girl with short, almost crimson hair. That was enough to make him think he was just seeing things, but he had seen enough strange things upon arrival on this continent to believe anything.

The voice in his head rang out once more. He nodded, more to himself than anything, waving his hands towards his comrades to lower their weapons. He could see the uneasiness in their faces, and could hardly blame them for all they had gone through the past few days. He turned around to face them, motioning for them to relax.

"Wait here for a moment. I'm just going to go have a little chat."

He turned and started to walk towards the rock. He could not rest his hand against the hilt of his blade as he normally would in a situation such as this, since his arm was in a make-shift sling made from ripped clothing. It made him feel vulnerable, but at least it would make him look a bit less threatening.

"You can come out now."

Saya was nudging him in the back of his mind. "Be careful with this one, Corvus. I doubt she will be too happy when she finds out that you're a Khaev."

[Automatic Kitty]

[[ Oh ********. I'm confused now. I thought I had this all figured out. Okay. This whole group here are with the Khaev? I thought I read in a post that you were fighting against them. >_>;; Boy, I sure feel stupid. Because I meant to have my character's enemy the same as yours. But now, I'm confused. ]]

[Demokritos]

(( No no, you got it mostly right. Corvus didn't know he was a Khaev until very recently, and has a strong distaste for them. They seem to want something from him, and he's curious as to what it is. The rest of his group are not khaevs, except for Azepael.

Dude. 3 edits cause I kept missing things. >_< Lmao

On that note, I'll be back in approximately 30 minutes. Gotta pick up my brother from work. ))

[Automatic Kitty]

[[ Ahh, I understand now! Okay, that confused me something bad. ]]

Siv knew that one of the men was approaching before she even peeked out from behind her rock. She assumed it was the one she had contacted, feeling sure of it. She straightened up, stepping out from behind the rock as the man came closer. She bowed her head in greeting, long locks of crimson falling around her face, frameing it perfectly. She glanced up with jade eyes, hesitating for a second before she spoke. "I don't know who you are, or where you came from, but I feel I owe you thanks in your help to defeat these people. My race has recently been having some problems with them, to say the least." she said, hoping she wouldn't be asked to elaborate.

It was innevitable that he was wondering what the hell she was, but she preffered to withhold that knowledge for as long as she possibly could. People weren't usually sure what to think when they found out what she was, and she wasn't keen on making more enemies right now. She would explain everything once she knew she could trust these people, and they felt they could trust her.

[Demokritos]

Corvus nodded, slowly. "So you're a native here."

She was truly an odd looking person, with her unnatural hair color and the wings that came out of her back. She also had a strange aura to her, something that he was not able to articulate through words. One that almost seemed to reek of violence, even though she was being civil.

For now, at least.

Corvus bowed, slightly. "My name is Corvus Xalelm, and these people are friends of mine." Corvus winced slightly at the sound of the word "Friends", for reasons he could not quite understand himself. "We....." He paused. "Well, most of us came from the continent to the west, from a harbor town called Shane. I'm not sure of all their reasons for being here, but my business lies with the Khaev council of the two hundred."

[Automatic Kitty]

Siv nodded to confirm the man's statement. She took the time to inspect him carefully up and down as he continued to speak. He appeared to be a serious man, she could even say he looked slightly intimidating. Perhaps not to her, but maybe others. Siv tended to be very self-assured, maybe even a little concieted. It was difficult to scare her or make her feel threatened. Some might call it arrogance, but she thought she had well earned the right to be confident in herself and her abilities.

He seemed humble enough, as did his people. They were willing to fight, but only in defence. They didn't seem keen on making enemies either, which was a good thing, for both sides. "I had assumed you weren't from here." she said, her hunch being confirmed. "I hope you don't mind, for I am a bit curious..." she started, hoping she wasn't stepping too far out of line in asking. "But what kind of buissness might that be?"
