Elly Meairna


Elly looked down at the sword but did not loosen her grip. She looked back up at the boy with only her eyes, not moving her head at all. If he was brave enough to draw blood from her elbow, then he could surely be brave enough to fight her. She had no doubt that this, thing, had more power than she did for it was part of his race and her own race somehow obtained their own power. She sighed and when the blood was drawn a little, she smiled. "You are a brave fool, I accept your challenge" she told him and gripped hard onto his shoulder and attempt to throw him towards the door. He sure was small enough to do so and Elly was pretty strong, dispite being a girl and a human. Almost out of no where she summoned her staff of many elements, leaves of transparencey flittered at the ends and the staff looked as though it were made out of a special and foriegn wood. she pointed it at the boy, a look of seriousness now playing across her face. "I told you to take this outside. If you don't feel a need to kill people who aren't in this fight then take. it. out. side." she rewarned and the end of her staff lit up in prewarning. The wound on her elbow already healed, a good skill to hve along with light as an element. her darkness inside her was starting to react to the darkness in the boys soul, in which it had never really happened before, except with smaller, weaker demons. The earth and fire elements in her did not react as much, but all the elements inside did react to something, probably the third person that was there who had just arrived.

[Lady Melodious]

The final judgement shall be delivered
Nobody can escape the sin that flows in their veins
The enigmatic words make the witches chuckle
While the banquet of this irregular night repeats

Melody looked to her side it seemed a fight was about to ensue. Melody ignored this, she thought it was probably two drunks talking gibberish. Melody then looked to her right again and watched as they pulled out their weapons. "Ignorant twits, instead of settling manners in a private place, instead of a public location. Way to blend in, conceited and egotistical thinking will only get you so far." she thought and asked for another glass of scotch, which was delivered in a quick manner to her. This time she didn't chug it down, she just sipped bit by bit and waited for the show to come. "Entertain me with your credulous ways." Melody just stayed where she was observing the surroundings and making assumptions. Melody looked at the woman, she was the same one who was telling her story's to the men. She took a study unto her mind observing her "Hm, human obviously." The woman then summoned a staff "Elementalist of course, fire is surely in there, hm no visible mark it seems." She then turned to the male "Screams darkness." Melody smirked and kept drinking.

(This hope) Falling towards hell,
(is it a sin?) these golden butterflies
dipped their wings in how many sins?

xXxKiera RaynexXx

Kiera was in her quarters, shaping her powers of teleportation, and had already got very talented at it. On her last attempt she was transported by accident to her parents quarters.
"Kiera! What do you think you're doing?" Her mother Nyla exclaimed horrified.
Kiera quickly bowed to her mother her voice serious, "I was practicing my teleportation abilities, forgive me if I disturbed you, Nyla."
Nyla's eyes smoldered, "How many times have I taught you, that your mind must be clear of all thoughts to teleport properly."
"Many times." Kiera answered her head still bowed.
Nyla calmed down a bit, but her voice was still harsh, "Then you would do well to remember."
Kiera nodded, and teleported back to her own quarters. "I need a break." She said rubbing at her temples. Kiera went outside beginning to practice her defense techniques, the night air blew her hair around her face in whisps.
"Right, left, right, left. Hyah!" She said kicking and punching the cold air.

Alexander • Zane • Angelus

True Form
-----------------------------------------------------------
Court is in session,
A verdict is in.
No appeal on the docket today,
Just my own sin.
-----------------------------------------------------------
I hear a thunder in the distance,
See a vision of a cross.
I feel the pain that was given,
On a sad day of loss.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Alexander watched with intrest as a young girl attempted to throw the guardian of her own realm half way across the bar. He laughed and put his hand on her shoulder, "Clanless one." He said, pulling the collar of his shirt down slightly, revealing his clan mark for all to see, "By order of the Sol Clan, you shall not fight this man. Leave it to us." He said, and with his last word his body shifted, as if the reality around him had distorted, then was shed. Slowly he stretched out his four large black wings to their fullest length and summoned his pure white scythe, Angel Wing. "Also, by order of the Angels, this fight shall be taken to the battleground, I will now teleport us to the Dead Zone, resist and you may find yourself lost in the Void between realms." He said, his voice shook the glasses in the room slightly with its power, reaching out with his mind he found both Silph's and Sieghart's auras and locked on to them, teleporting them both with him to the middle of the Dead Zone, which had long since been used as a neutral battleground for celestial battles.

~Silph Abefrail~
~Demon Lord~

Feeling Alexanders' aura about to consume the three of them Silph Repelled it and surrounded himself in his own chaotic void. Reappearing with the two of them atop a large rock in the zone of the dead Silph glowered at Alexander. "If you mean to use you're power on me again Alexander at anytime, i will not hesitate to kill you. This temporary peace between us is just that, temporary. Do not forget thine place." He then stood up to his full height and took a few steps back from his two enemies grinning. "Or perhaps you are confident enough in your own abilities to take on this abomination yourself?" As he spoke he sent Akuma back to the void and crossed his arms. "Besides, if I am lucky enough, perhaps you will kill each other off. Oh. And beast"...he looked at Sieghart with disdain. "You are a fool. Trying to take on two Goliaths at once. Take heed not to temp the lions little lamb, for you just may find how hard we can sink our teeth into our meat." Then looking at Alexander again Silph said "Well one lion, one cub." Silph closed his eyes and sighed. "I will find you again Alexander, and you will die. But at least clean up this mess and show you usefulness. I have better things to do then to play with children." With this last word Silph turned and with a move, departed into the darkness once more.

((In future Xrin please do not take immediate action against another's character while assuming what that character would do. its fine now, we've all adapted to it, but taking a blade up against you is actually extremely out of silphs' character.))

----{Gwen Patts}----

Gwen maid her way through the city completely on edge. The walls weren't inviting to her as the were to other people. She wasn't even inside them ans they oppressed her. She much preferred the woods to the gray dank walls of all the buildings. There was barely any color here compared to the vibrant natural colors of nature. She was seriously debating leaving the city. She truly had no reason to be here. She had to money to buy anything and she doubted she even wanted what the merchants were selling.

She sighed missing her pack and the woods they lived in. Maybe fulfilling her curiosity hadn't been a good idea after all it hadn't seemed that interesting so far. It wouldn't be hard to go back, but for some reason she hesitated. It made her feel weak to give up so easily. No she wouldn't leave no matter how oppressive the buildings became.

Well if she was going to stay she might as well find something interesting about these humans. There had to be something. She let her mind drift out looking at the everything around her. There didn't seemed to be anything interesting in this place. She pushed her mind out farther. Maybe some other place would be interesting though she doubted it.

This war must end

With a startled jump Leon couldn't help but snarl as someone touched him, usually he would have been aware of her presence there but with all of the commotion and the extreme energies flowing through the bar he had no idea she was there. hopping forward and spinning around in suprise he saw an extremely attractive elf woman. "T...thank you for the advice Ma'am. But i wasn't planning on getting involved in that." Usually he would've been perturbed by her calling him a child, but coming from her, for some reason he didn't mind. In fact he nearly blushed.

"Actually im 26..... but i suppose as far as elves go, i could be considered a child couldn't i?" He speaks smiling lightly and rubbing the back of his head. "And i must say, even the stories of your beauty do not do you justice." As he speaks he gives a slight bow.

And i will do what i can!

[Blood Moons Curse]

Aphra smiled lightly at him and nodded. "I didn't mean that you were literally a child. It's just that you're a child of the moon, a Lycan child." She replied to him then laughed a bit. "Thank you, and although I haven't heard about you, you are really quite cute." She added on smiling before opening the door to the bar and looking inside. "Looks like the commotion is done, I'm should go back home."

[Endless Nothing]

This war must end
Leon blushed intensely. It wasn't very often that any of his clan got to see their leader, and not only was she easy on the eyes, she was complimenting him as well. He suddenly felt the need to impress her. "Well im not suprised you haven't heard of me. But i can assure you i am one of the most capable of my kind. You see im... special for lack of a better word. While most of my kind lose their their minds to their bestial side, i do not. So while there may be some of my kind that are in fact stronger, there are none more cunning."
As he finished he realized his urge to impress was really just an urge to have her stay a while. He felt a little embarrassed that he had shown off like that, it was really quite against his nature. "You know... The humans aren't that bad when they don't know your not one of them. They are actually very friendly and most are quite kind. You should walk around the city with me and enjoy their company for a while."

And i will do what i can!

[Blood Moons Curse]

Aphra looked back at him and smiled lightly at his attempt. Although she was a bit impressed by his control. "Well very good job, you should help to train others so that they have the same control. Much better for battle." Aphra replied lightly then couldn't help but to laugh at his want to be with her longer. "Yeah the only problem with that is, I have green skin."

[Endless Nothing]

Leon hadn't noticed the color of her skin really, with her overall good looks he had completely overlooked it. It looked so very natural to him for her to be that way, In fact now that he had noticed it only added to her beauty. With yet another blush and a sigh, he patted the back of his head. "Oh yeah... that could be a problem huh?" Something inside Leon kept telling him not to let her go, like he would be a lost pup without her. Suddenly he was struck with a great idea. "Ah ha!" He spoke aloud as he put his index finger in the air, "The children! Human children are by far the least judgmental of all beings on this planet. There are even a few that know that i am lycan. They play with me out in the woods from time to time, they like to play with my fur and ride around on my back. They even have their own little nicknames for me." Realizing he had started to ramble he stopped himself and grinned at her. The children really were such a delight, it would be a shame if she never knew the joy they could bring.

[Blood Moons Curse]

Sighing Aphra shook her head lightly and sighed. "I am truly sorry but I shouldn't be in the human realm at all. And neither should you... but still you blend in better than I do." Aphra said softly then pulled her hood back up over her head hiding her features once again.

[Endless Nothing]

Leon hung his head in defeat, "I suppose that can't be help this day and age. But please do stop by our village some time. We live near the city here, the people dont know of us so they do not fear or hunt us. But the villagers generally dislike war and most even doubt your existence ma'am. But i guess you probably got better things to do, but when you find you have the time, feel free to visit us."

Still feeling like a pup that had lost its master he walked into the bar with a wave over his shoulder. Deciding that maybe after a drink or two he would be back to normal. Besides, he knew a girl that frequented the bar, she always told stories to the children and for this he liked her. He was sure she had heard the children tell stories of him, but as of now she did not know who exactly he was.

Xeno: The Reaper

The lone reaper slowly made her way down to the basement of the Dark spire. It didn't take long for the girl to reach her destination. Under the Spire was a large network of caves. Most of these caves were filled with large organic looking containers that held the souls that the reapers had collected. From there various groups of demons used the soul for their various jobs, from feeding demons, to creating demons, to forging weapons. All of this was able to happen because of the power gained from the souls.
As it was the supply of souls had been stretched to the limit and the reapers were barely able to meet quantity of souls needed to maintain the demons.
Lesser reapers rushed back and forth dropping off their payloads before rushing back to the outside world to retrieve more. Xeno for her part didn't run, but simply walked up to one of containers that feed into the weapon workshops. She raised her scythe and stabbed the blade into the container. It pulsed before forming around her scythe as it extracted the souls. Then it released her blade before it glowed brightly. Imminently the demons working in the workshops began working at a frenzied pace as they each began feeding off the massive amount of resources that they had just received.

Deciding it would be better to leave before she the others starting yelling at her for not giving the resources to them, she quickly stepped into a shadow and disappeared.

She reappeared on the roof top of a house in a human town. She looked around before she sniffed the air gingerly. She knew there were ripe dark souls waiting for the taking in this town. She closed her eyes for a moment as she pinpointed where a good place to start would be. Sensing a decent group of five potentials she opened her eyes before dashing across the roofs toward the source.
(The Reapers get no love lol)

Elly Meairna


The sudden teleportation of the figures shocked Elly a bit, but she didn't really show it. Sure she raised her eyebrows a bit, but other than that it was nothing that she could show to others. She assured the regular humans that she was fine and that they wouldn't destrub them that much. Elly bought another round of drinks for herself and her girl friends and sat mingling. That was when the one bartender was off duty and sat with Elly. He asked her what was up with them and Elly only shook her head and frowned, placing her head in her hand and leaned on the table thinking. "that guy told me that by order of the Sol Clan that I was not allowed to fight, but if am not part of a clan, then what is the big deal? I realize that the Sol Clan is part of the elementals and angels, but ruling over others like that shouldn't be allowed. I'll have to give him a piece of my mind the next time I see him..." she said stubbornly. The bartender only laughed and commenting on her wild child side.
