Xeno: The Reaper

After only a few minute the reaper girl reached the point of gathering. She quietly landed on top of an old storage building before she bent down and looked through a hole in the roof. Inside no less then twenty men and women were standing in a circle. They all wore black cloaks and had weapons attached to their waists.
Xeno could only assume that this was some sort of death cult. That at least would explain the pile of bodies rotting in the corner. Even from this distance Xeno could tell that their souls were stained black. Perfect for demon material.
She raised the blade of her scythe to her mouth before she blew on it. This created a high frequency sound that only reapers and some select demons could hear.
She lowered her weapon and waited for a second. Suddenly four other reapers suddenly appeared around her. She frowned deeply as she saw that all but one of them were skeleton like, meaning that they were still young.
She wasn't concerned about killing the humans, two reapers working together with a surprise attack could easily kill all of them. What concerned her was when they started gathering the souls. That would attract the attention of demons and angels. As she had said earlier, Reapers weren't particularly liked among the demon ranks. On occasion a demon might come and simply destroy the reaper and devour the souls to gain more power.

Xeno looked down at the humans before she nodded to the other four. Suddenly all of them disappeared into the shadows.

They reappeared in the center of the circle of cultist. The reapers didn't give the humans time to even gasp before they were upon them. Xeno slashed through the cultist with an almost beautiful style. The other reapers attacked much more like animals, some swinging their scythes like they were clubs, or simply attacking with bare hands and teeth.

The engagement ended quickly with only one reaper being destroyed in the process.
Xeno watched as the reapers moved out and began extracting souls from the bodies. Hopefully they could get this done soon and be gone before any angels noticed what they were doing. Suddenly Xeno noticed something shoved in the corner. She walked over and saw that it was a small human girl. A knife had been stuck into her chest and her life was draining away.

Xeno suddenly felt a pain in her chest with surprised her at first. It was something she had never felt before. She bent down and placed her hand on the dying girls head.
"Your journey is almost over, I'll take care of the rest," she said as the girls eyes went blank and her soul drifted out of her mouth. It formed in front of Xeno who reached out and grabbed it before she pulled it into the fold of her robes. She then turned and watched as the other reapers continued their extraction.

Alvero Vanhite ~ HakodaKetsu

Language has created the word loneliness to express the pain of being alone, and the word solitude to express the glory of being alone.

The snap of a twig or branch could be heard as a lone man walked down a dirt road, normally the noise wouldn't bother him, but all he could hear was the sound of his own feet grinding against the dirt, which made the cracks much louder to him. The man took a deep breath, and reached beside him, pulling out a small jug and took a quick sip of it's contents. He'd been travelling for a while, and was exhausted, luckily he'd found the road again and was back on track. Alvero decided that would be the last time he ever went exploring in the woods again.

It was then that he began having small flashbacks of his exile from Luna, and a hint of sadness showed up on his face. He quickly shook away the feeling and tied the jug to his side once more and kept walking down the road, eventually entering what seemed like a small city, lined with grey stone walls. He quickly peeked within. It was a human city, he'd stumbled upon a human city. Alvero quickly stepped out of the entrance, quickly adjusting his looks to appear more human, he wore leather gloves to hide his hands, he tilted down the beak of his hat to hide his eyes, although silver hair sprouted out from the back, fighting to escape. He walked into the city, confidence showing in his stride. Just something to eat, maybe a nice bed, and he'd be off again. That's all he really ever came to the cities for anyways. And even though he was running low on money, that's all he would ever consider buying in the first place. Alvero walked down the street, keeping his eyes down to the ground and not allowing his presence to be that obvious, blending in with the crowd. Eventually he caught an odd scent. What was it... Alvero sniffed the air. Blood... There's been a battle in this city. Being the curious one that he was, Alvero quickly broke into a run, heading for where the scent was coming from.

I don't know about you but I'd prefer to consider my situation as 'Solitude'

[XxXrinXX]

Sieghart

Sieghart took a breath and let it back out. "OK Alexander you can go home." Sieghart said and stepped into something that looked like a portal. He was heading back to the city for some rest and relaxation. He stepped out of the portal and knocked himself and another guy to the ground. He rubbed his head and looked up at what was a young Lycan. "Watch where your going boy." Sieghart said with a small smile. He walked over to him and outstretched his hand to the boy. "The fight is over so no need to run." He told him waiting to see if he would except his help.

Xeno: The Reaper

The reapers quickly finished their gathering and one by one they vanished, returning to the Dark spire to add the souls. In a short time only Xeno was left among a sea of corpses and blood. Her footsteps echoed loudly through the aging warehouse as she slowly circled around each of the cultists bodies.
She bent down and examined their bodies more closely. They appeared to have several strange symbols tattooed over their arms and stomachs. Some of it looked to be demonic runes but most of it was nonsense scribbling.

The reaper could only assume that they were sacrificing innocent people in order to try and obtain great power. The reaper could only shake her head as she stood up. The idea was not so far fetched as one might think. However these humans were no where near to achieving such a feat.
She walked over to the pile of rotting bodies before she raised her hand and held it over the pile. For a second nothing happened, but then a small trickle of soul mist seeped from the pile and gathered in Xeno's hand. Soon she held a fist sized ball of soul energy in her palm. She then opened her mouth and shoved the entire thing in her mouth before swallowing it.

She could feel the energy fill her body and her body changing in response.It would take some time for her body completely absorb the energy, but by the time she did she would have become more powerful.

She was about to leave when she suddenly felt someone heading toward her location. She stopped and turned toward the only entrance to the warehouse. Her eyes narrowed as she gripped her scythe. Under normal circumstances she would have fled back to the Dark Spire. However new sense filled her which she quickly identified. Curiosity. She was curious about who was coming toward her, so she waited and prepared for anything.

[Endless Nothing]

This war must end

Leon laid on the ground for a moment, having been surprised for the second time today and falling off of his bar stool. This is really getting out of hand... He thought, he was usually so much more aware of things and was hardly ever caught off guard. Then again it had been a long time since he had really needed it. Maybe his time with the humans had made him soft. He would have to make certain he did not let that happen any more. "Huh... wha?" He mumbled before leaping back to his feet and backing away slowly. "You! your not here to make any more trouble are you? I really would hate to be kicked out of the city for good." He looked over at Elly, she would surely not be pleased to see him again after their dispute. "Look, i dont know who you are, and to be honest i'd rather not have anything to do with you. Its nothing personal, i just dont like trouble. Now if you would please go back to where you came before Elly sees you i would greatly appreciate it."

Before he had been knocked over he had been trying to work up the courage to go and talk to her, if only to find out where the children were, the day was slipping away and he had yet to pay them a visit. Now he had no choice, in order to avoid trouble with the male he would have to distract Elly. So he walked briskly over to her and pulled on her clothes lightly, trying hard to act as old as he looked. "Um.. excuse me, are you the story teller lady?"

And i will do what i can!

[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 finished her drink and thought "Awww the fun is over." She put the glass down on the table and laid back. The elementalist had muttered something about the different sides of this war. "Seems, my study's have been damned incomplete and could they put on any more of a show. Hm this will certainly attract many others to come." Melody stretched her arms a bit, the air seemed tense yet calmed after everything happened. She yawned and looked towards the door, soon enough a rushed boy came through it. Melody smirked "It seems my prediction has come true, no surprise there." She half smiled and waited patiently for what was to come.(By the way Happy Valentines day to all)

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

[Blood Moons Curse]

On the sea heading towards the humans territory Iyana stood on the ships deck and looked off into the distance. To her right she could see one of the Nephrils and to her left, nothing as far as her eyes could see. Sighing she grew tired of waiting and soon thought of her fathers Death reaper. Smiling she went to the deck below so that the men wouldn't see what her plans were. "Xeno! I am in need of your assistance, come to me please!" Iyana called out in hopes that she wasn't just being ridicules.

[Blood Moons Curse]

Walking back through the town silently keeping her hood up high and her head low so that no one would see her. It wasn't until she caught the scent of a Lycan child that she turned around to look. Expecting to see the one from before she was quite surprised to see one that seemed rather familiar and yet not so familiar. At first she thought about just shrugging it off but the Lycan Child's haste to get somewhere made her too curious. So instead she quickly and silently followed him, just to see what the fuss was.
((And this is directed at Alvero Vanhite))

[Loveyy Lemon]

(( O_O Omg. I'm so sorry! I have been really busy reading and doing other stuff! Do one of you think you could help catch me up to where everyone is? sweatdrop ))

[Blood Moons Curse]

((hehe sure thing! ok! so really nothing has happened except that Silph and Alex found each other and some guy that was sealed away for a while is lose and was going to fight both of them, but didn't and other than that it has really just been random stuff that doesn't quite make too much of a difference yet.))

[Loveyy Lemon]

(( Haha. Alright. Thank you very much. Now to just find somewhere to be random..... ))

[Blood Moons Curse]

((well Iyana is out at sea right now and your character is supposed to be on the ship with her by orders of Silph so you could start there if you like, or you could have it be that you missed the boat or whatever))

[Loveyy Lemon]

(( Ok. And why were the two sent out there? ))

[Blood Moons Curse]

(to find Alex who is supposed to be in the humans realm.))

[Loveyy Lemon]

(( -confused- But I thought that Alex had come and found Sliph on his own...I'm guessing thats a no. But ok. ))
