As most dragons would be with their mates, Emery was very intuned with Rain's body language and he noticed the moment she froze up at his suggestion to getting cell phones. He eyed her curiously as babbled about them being fine and needed to use the bathroom and also change before literally running out of the room. Emery watched her go until he could no longer see her before he turned his gaze onto Isamu. For a short while, he merely glanced between the two vampires waiting for some sort of explanation since they obviously knew something they weren't telling him. His patience paid off, however, when he noticed Isamu was about to speak..right before he was interrupted by a surge of power and a flash of light. Emery was on his feet then, just as the male vampire excused himself to check it out. Something was familiar with this energy, but not to the point that Emery could put his finger on it. He was aware the Kyvael was slowly standing to just as Ukina mumbled that it was a dragon outside.

At that point, the brother's moved as one as they made their way to the balcony where Isamu was. Down below was a man with golden blonde hair and blue eyes. Again, there was something familiar about him that Emery couldn't quite place. Kyvael, on the other hand, took Emery's silence to say he didn't know the guy. A threatening growl rumbled in the fire breather's chest and he flung himself over the side of the balcony. Of course, the red head landed gracefully on the ground below in a crouch before he righted himself. He didn't get far before Emery was on his heels to keep from flat out attacking the intruder. Emery had always been the more cautious of the two and he was still assessing the situation. Taking a few steps in front of Kyvael, the ice dragon peered over the new comer curiously. It wasn't until he caught the other's scent that something snapped into place. "Max?" Despite the scent being altered, it still carried somewhat of the same essence. If this fellow wasn't Max, then it was a relative of some sort because the scents were too similar not to be.

Azriel ignored the chaos around him as he made his way out of the mansion and onto the streets. He was currently following his brother's scent since Ansiel had never come back after chasing down the stray human. Since most of the time it was rather difficult to tell humans and vampires apart, Azriel managed to blend in well aside from the fact that he wasn't in a panic and his clothes were mostly burnt off. For a moment, he paused in a spot where there was a rather large crack in the street as if something heavy had stomped around here and where the ground was burnt from explosions. Pieces of metal that resembled a vehicle laid scattered around along with body parts and debris. Panic slowly crawled into his gut as his eyes scanned over the area. Where was Ansiel? He couldn't be dead! Before Azriel could start going into hysterics, he noticed one of the buildings off to the side had a broken window and wall that looked as if someone crash landed into it. Hope filled his chest as he jogged forward to peer into the darkness of the old building.

It took a few seconds for his eyes to adjust to the dim lighting but thanks to his lovely abilities, he was able to see just fine after that. At first, all he saw was rubble: broken tables and chairs, glass all over the floor, papers scattered. Had this been an office? Among all this trash, though, he was able to spot a foot sticking out from behind a toppled desk. Leaping over the window's ledge and broken glass, he scampered to the foot to discover his bruised, unconscious but still very much alive brother. Kneeling down, he gave his sibling a good shake or two before the boy stirred. Grumbling, Ansiel opened his eyes to find Azriel grinning down into his face. "I feel like a bus and two trains hit me." This earned a snicker from his brother as he attempted to sit up. With a bit of help, Ansiel was able to get upright and passed a hand over his chest. Other than a few batter ribs (which would heal quickly) he was fine. "I think I saw a dragon, but is that even possible?" It wasn't like he couldn't believe it after tonight but it was hard to imagine one might have spared his life other than the woman on the stage. Azriel, who probably cared less, shrugged his shoulders and hauled Ansiel to his feet. "You're alive and that's all that matters. Now lets get the hell out of here. This place is crawling with hunters."

With only laced white underwear on, Rain was staring at her reflection in the little medicine cabinet above the bathroom sink. It had been quite some time since she had really looked at herself, and the person staring back at her barely looked like the person she had been her entire life. Her cheekbones were hollow, her skin so pale that it looked like she hadn't seen the sun in a decade. Beneath her eyes were dark bags of exhaustion; it was so dark it looked like Rain had gone crazy with black eye shadow beneath them.

But what Rain was staring at the most was the little hint of a black spiral that was just barely visible in her reflection. She had obtained that mark at the docks way back when Abel was still on Cain's side, when Abel was too afraid to stand up against his brother. Of course, he proved them all wrong shortly after that incident... But Cain was dead... And the Mark of Cain was still there. And like now, the mark was burning and itched like crazy off and on. Had God cursed her at this point? Had he decided she needed to be reminded of her past sins for the rest of her life?

With a heavy sigh, Rain rummaged through the pile of clothes she had grabbed in a hurry. Somehow she had mostly grabbed just underwear and a set of pajamas. Great. Thankfully there was a pair of tight, dark and fading jeans. Shoving her legs into those and zipping up, Rain grabbed the top from the pajama set which just barely covered her cleavage and split apart beneath them, exposing her stomach.

As Rain was letting her hair down and brushing through it, she heard a voice call out from outside. Rain froze, her eyebrows furrowed... That voice sounded familiar. Unfortunately, Rain was too tired to figure out if the voice belonged to a friend or to a foe. Grabbing the grenade launcher Rain hid underneath the bathroom's cabinet full of extra towels, Rain slipped out of the bathroom and carefully crept through the bedroom, stopping outside onto the balcony just next to Ukina and Isamu. Rain poked her beast of a gun over the railing and aimed it at the blond haired man below. Emery was in front of his half brother and was staring intently at their visitor. Was it someone else he knew?

"Who is this guy?" Rain asked Ura and Ukina quietly as she kept her finger dangerously close to the trigger of the grenade launcher.

Can you feel me?

As Emery and his brother went in for a closer look Isamu turned to Ukina and said, "I'm going to be leaving. I'd like you to do me a favor and stay with Rain." Ukina looked down at her feet as she was put on guard duty but decided to speak up. "Why?" She asked. It wasn't that she had a problem with it. It was that she wanted to be with Isamu as much as possible. She worried about him and her thoughts began to fill will possible ideas of where he was going and what he was going to do. "She hasn't rested in two days and..." He paused as Rain came out with a rocket launcher and his eyes widened. Ukina's did as well. "You don't play around do you Rain?" Ukina asked.

Isamu looked down at the blonde intruder when Rain asked who he was and he shrugged. "All we know is that he's a dragon," Isamu replied. He turned back to Ukina and knelt down so that he was looking up at her as she looked down. It brought a small smile to her face. She'd needed that. Isamu smiled back up at her and then rose to his feet again turning to Rain. "I'm going to be leaving for a little while. Ukina is going to stay here with you just to lend an extra hand. I have things I need to check up on," He told her. "Promise I'll be back so don't get mad at me for leaving on such short notice," He added on. Without another word to the two girls he hopped over the balcony and landed. "I'll be back Emery," He called out, and within a few moments he was gone, using his speed to disappear.

Ukina watched Isamu until she could no longer see him and let out a small sigh. She looked over the balcony at the blonde dragon and tried to feel him out. He was no stranger that was for sure, but it had been so long since she'd felt the dragon that she couldn't put her finger on who he was. While Rain was aiming Ukina decided to fill her in on Isamu's new problem. "Back when Ura was on a rampage he went to destroy the Elders of the Council," She began. "Four of five were killed. The one that got away has returned. We ran into him when we were following you here," She revealed. "We're not sure what he wants yet but he's going to be trouble. Just thought I should let you know."

Location: Outside Emery's and Rain's Tree House l Company: Emery, some guy who smells like Emery, Rain and Ukina l Mood: Slightly nervous l Outrageously Ordered Chaos:

The Light Dragon didn't have to wait long for someone to go see what the commotion was all about. The first person to take a peek over the balcony was a particularly familiar vampire who was accompanied by his shadow. Both Ukina and Isamu looked the same as they had two years ago, when Max had left them. The next one to acknowledge his presence was a man with fiery red hair and physical characteristics similiar to those of Emery, and even a similar scent. The man had a threatning look on his face and Max took a step back; the last thing he wanted was to get attacked by someone he didn't even know, let alone somebody who was possible related to Emery. "And speaking of the King of Rome...." The Ice Dragon came trailing behind the red-head, moving in front of him and stopping to stare at the apparent intruder. It took him a few seconds, but he finally muttered out a single word:

"Max?"

Max smiled, though he didn't have a chance to speak. From the balcony he saw Rain, looking as grumpy as always (and wearing something incredibly revealing), though carrying what seemed to be a grenade launcher. "Woah, woah, wait!" The Dragon took another step back and held up his hands. "Geez! You really shouldn't go around pointing those things in people's faces. Every time I get near you guys, I end up with guns in my face, or swords or some kind of apocalypsis!" Max scoffed softly and crossed his arms over his chest. "I'm sorry to intrude on your....family reunion, but I thought I'd pay a visit to my old comrades, haven't seen you guys since the whole Cain incident" he said, mostly speaking to Rain out of fear that she might decide to shoot him. "As Emery already went ahead and stated, it's, uh, Max. I will let that grenade launcher pass though, seeing as I don't look.....exactly like I used to. I'm definitely still having trouble looking myself in the mirror without thinking that I changed bodies with someone." Max glanced down at the fiery red-head, narrowing his eyes slightly at the man's rather aggressive stance. However, he returned his attention to Emery, giving one last look at Rain and her grenade launcher before speaking.

"So! I see you two...three, or four, whatever you prefer are doing quite well. I would have brought something, but things tend to get lost in the teleportation spell."

Deep in the shadowed forest
Runs a predator bathed in the light

Aiden awoke a roar slipping from her, though she cut it off as soon as she realized it was coming from her. Her breathing labored, bordering on on frantic, she placed a hand to her chest, trying to calm herself. Again she saw who she saw as her mother dying in her arms, the result of humans thinking she was the monster.In reality it was Aiden who was the monster, the freak, as humans saw her. Sure she looked human on the outside for the most part, but when she became agitated or scared, her true colors would show.Golden red stripes would shadow her creamy skin and crimson hair. Claws would split from her fingers and toes. Hiding a tail was hard to do on top of everything else. Aiden had been working hard to keep her emotions in check after what happened with Amalia, but glancing down at her sheets she saw that she hadn't quite succeeded in that endeavor. Her dark gray sheets had massive rips in them, forming long jagged claw marks. Flopping back into her pillows with a groan, she blew a strand of hair from her forehead. Glancing at the clock near her bed, she rolled to her feet in one fluid motion. Rolling her shoulders, she padded to the small bathroom and took a quick shower. Snagging a towel she began to towel dry her hair as she walked to her closet, wondering what to wear on her day off. Tossing the towel into the hamper to her left, she grabbed a pair of black supple leather pants, a cotton stretch long sleeved top, and the essentials. Slipping into her clothes, she glanced at herself in the mirror.

"Geez talk about grabbing attention."

Aiden muttered to herself as she grabbed her customary knee high boots,stepping into them. They fit like a glove, the soft leather molded to the muscles in her legs after many years of use. The last two things to be put on was her Celtic cross, given to her by Amalia, and a dark green duster that hit her at mid thigh. Slinging her small backpack over her shoulder she headed out, locking the door behind her. The night was going to be cold to most people, but to Aiden, it was nice. being a shifter had its rewards. The jacket she wear was to hide what she was, blending in with the human populace.Golden green eyes glinting in the light of the street lamps, she headed for her favorite place to eat, and also her new place of employment; The Grey Dog's Coffee.She hadn't even had her first day yet, hoping to start sometime in the next few days. Smiling she glanced about to see if anyone was around. Spotting no one, she pulled the straps of her bag taunt, and buttoned up her jacket. With a little laugh she stepped into a little run before flipping into a double layout full in, full out gymnastic show down the sidewalks. Landing softly, she laughed, her joy at being able to be so free making her spirits soar. She heard someone clap, but continued on her way, a smile lighting up her features like the sun coming after the rain.As she rounded the corner heading towards the coffee shop, an odd feeling came over her. Stopping, she raised her face to the slight breeze, catching the scents that flowed from the coffee shop.A growl rumbled low in her throat as she recognized the scent. Death.Shaking her head, she avoided the shop,crossing over to the other side of the street to avoid anyone's wandering gaze.Sighing she kicked a can down the street before her, her mood dampened.Grumbling quietly to herself she continued to wander the city, coming to the lake. Gazing out on the water, she huffed her disappointment in actually going to the coffee shop. Turning her back to the lake she took off at a sprint, needing to burn some energy. Aiden was a blur along the streets, dark green duster hiding her.After about a mile she came to a slow stop in front of a small cafe.

"Eisenberg's? Eh what could it hurt?"

Aiden spoke softly to herself and stepped into the warmth of the shop.Glancing about, she caught the eye of a passing waiter. He did a double take as he met her eyes, but before he could get a good look, Aiden dropped her gaze and waited to be shown a table. Once seated in front of the window, she ordered a hot chocolate and the Eisen-Burger.The waiter gave her an incredulous look, but hurried off to fill her order.When it came, her mouth watered at the giant hamburger was set before her. Aiden asked for a Dr. Pepper as well and then settled in to her burger. Her first instinct was to wolf the food down quickly, the beast in her wanting to leave, because she was new to the area and didn't know if someone was going to make a try for her food.Aiden mentally shook her head at the Tiger within her, knowing they weren't going to have to fight to keep their food this night. Aiden paced herself, taking small bites.


"Think human, think human, think human..."

She kept thinking in her head as she ate slowly, seeming to enjoy every bite.

Truth be told Sinnois wasn't in the best of shape. To sum most of it all up he hadn't eaten anything in at least a day. It was all because of his accursed brother he was always giving him obscure tests to pass. And if Sinnois didn't pass them there was another task just waiting, for him right after. After being in this city for no less than an hour he had already met some interesting people. A light smile came across his lips as he dragged his thumb across each fingertip. His thumbs sparked the flames like a lighter. A different color flame burned on each fingertip. Ten in total they burned brighty: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple, white, pink, and black. Each danced across his fingertips as he scanned the area. His elevation gave him an ideal location, for his strategy. Sinnois then began to stretch both arms out widely. Instantly the flames grew larger, and larger on his fingers. Just as his flames began to grow his bright orange eye shifted. Each became narrow almost as if the situation grew in his favor. The flames he was emitting weren't just some conjured fire magic. To manipulate ten different flames wasn't something any mere mortal could perform. These flames were physically connected with Sinnois' being.

Almost lighting up the sky Sinnois' head looked down taking in a full view of the demona, or actually the chimera next to the jeep. He needed to get under her skin, but something wasn't right. The pillars of fire ceased as another circle surrounded each flame. 'Just a little more...come one hurry...' This one was earth magic, but what would earth magic do to fire? The ten circles slowly dropped down pushing the flames back into Sinnois' fingers. The earth magic rings condensed his massive flames into each ring. '...done...' In that moment Sinnois was ready by pointing a single finger toward the woman. He gestured a gun with his right hand extending his index finger forward until he shot something off. His entire body was thrown back with his playful finger gunshot. It was one of the tiny earth sealed rings, which was targeted to the feet of Rek during her rambling negotiation. All of her talking gave him plenty of time to make some arrangements. Sin completely ignored the woman. Until she went on a verbal killing spree. "Heh...less talking...you wrinkly old bat..goat..biddy..." Sinnois' needed to grab her attention. "The first dying red flame of the storm..." Sinnois muttered as he snapped his fingers. To be exact Sinnois snapped the finger that shot the ring around her feet. The ground beneath her feet began to give in. As another pillar of flames pieced the heavens from under her feet.

It was obvious that Sinnois was trying to obtain all of her attention. To give the others time to escape. After his fingers snapped Sinnois flew directly toward the fire. His first target was the base were she was standing. He flew in a circle spiraling around the fire just as he flicked his thumb up which held a blue flame attached to it. Soon the fire's color began to shift from red to blue. Sinnois' thumb grazing the pillar of fire leaving a blue coiled line spiraling up into the sky. Once he reached the top Sinnois took a desperate moment to catch his breath. This would most likely be his downfall.

Emery had become aware that Rain finally returned from her trip to the bathroom. He always knew when she was near by and it was probably the same for her. Kyvael hadn't even given her a second glance, however. His attention was focused completely on the man before him. Another warning growl softly grumbled from under Kyvael's breath as his gaze narrowed. Dragons knew better than to openly cross into another's territory without first being invited, however, it seemed as if Emery wasn't about to make a move. Something was puzzling his younger brother and Kyvael didn't like it. Finally, though, Emery seemed to figure things out and her visibly relaxed. The other man seemed equally amused, that is, until he noticed Rain on the balcony with that huge gun. A bit irritated by the entire situation and the coming and going of unknown people, Kyvael released a puff of smoke from his lips. How Emery lived this life was beyond him. Now that there was no trouble afoot, Kyvael eased his tension and turned on his heels to return to the balcony. He had no interest in continuing to meet Emery's companions. At least not yet. For now, he was settle down next to the egg he was charged with babysitting.

Ignoring his hot headed brother, Emery offered a small smile to his now golden kin. "I'm glad to see you are alright, despite the change in appearance. At least being bound with a divine for so long didn't have any negative effects on you." Turning his body to the side, he tipped his head to look back up to the balcony where Rain and Ukina were positioned. "I would invite you in but Rain, Ukina and I were thinking of heading to the hunter's headquarters. You're more than welcome to join us, Max and we'll fill you in on what you missed a long the way." For a moment, Emery considered leaving out who Kyvael was but since Max saw him and would probably question it either way, it would be best to just get it out into the open so there wouldn't be any further problems. With a sigh, he turned his gaze back to Max. "The other dragon is my half-brother, Kyvael. He'll be staying with us for awhile so if he gives you any grief, let me know." And that was about as good as an explanation he was going to get. If anyone got to know the full story first, it was going to be Rain.

Rain gave Ukina a small wink when she said that she didn't play around. Of course not - Rain was in her massively paranoid stage of exhaustion. Thanks to the vampires' keen smell, they were able to tell that blondie down there was a dragon. Okay, so likely it was another friend of Em's that he never bothered telling her about. Just like his half brother. Scowling, Rain was about to ask Isamu if the dragon had said anything, but Isamu spoke before she could. Her eyebrows furrowing even more, Rain quizzically stared at him as he romantically played Ukina and then took off.

"Well s**t..." she muttered, watching the vampire boy take off. Rain leaned over the balcony, keeping the grenade launcher aimed on the dragon as she listened to Ukina explain what had been going on since the two last saw each other. Rain sighed, keeping her eyes trained on the intruder, but her mind more focused on Ukina. "I'm sorry, that sounds like it's going to get ugly. If you two need more backup, please let me know... You and Isamu were there when we weak humans really needed you guys to help us fight away Cain..."

Rain was about to continue, but the new dragon suddenly spoke and she froze, listening intently. Ha. Good... She struck fear in the guy. Keeping her finger lightly on the trigger, Rain kept her gun on him at all times while he moved around as he spoke. Rain frowned in thought as he mentioned that they were comrades... No....... She was pretty sure she would have recognized him if they had known each other... Unless he was a part of her memories that Cain had erased and she never had retrieved that one back?

On edge now, she continued listening to him, her skin on fire and her cheeks flushed as she tried to figure out what he meant... Until finally... finally he introduced himself. This was Max? What happened to that sexy black hair?! If she had Emery hadn't hit it off, Rain was pretty sure she would have gone for Max... Well... After he had returned to being nice. He was a huge d**k at first...

Rain exhaled in relief and turned to Ukina smiling a bit. "Old comrade in the fight against Cain... I think I helped him become Divine... I... can't really remember..." Rain bit her bottom lip. She hadn't run into Max since before she lost her memories... She wasn't too sure what was real and what wasn't just yet. "I'm pretty sure you two haven't met yet."

Emery was speaking and Rain couldn't really hear him over the wind rustling in the trees by her ears. Frustrated, Rain leaned a bit more over the balcony, and in doing so... her finger accidentally pressed against the trigger under the new pressure. A grenade shot out from the barrel and sailed into the air as Rain watched it breathlessly, frozen. The grenade soared over Max and collided with the tree several yards behind him, blowing it up into slivers. "Oh my god," Rain breathed out, completely embarrassed. "SORRY!" she cried out.

Motioning for Ukina to follow her, Rain vaulted over the railing and landed heavily on the dirt ground near Emery. It was quite a drop for a human but Rain wasn't exactly human anymore... She could take more damage that humans wouldn't exactly be able to tolerate. Slowly Rain walked over to Emery and nodded to Max in greeting. "Finger slipped... Let's just say this makes us even for when you threw me in the middle of the freezing cold lake," Rain said, scratching the back of her head sheepishly... Hopefully that had actually happened and wasn't a manipulated memory...

Ukina smiled at Rain's words. It was nice to know that she had their back just like they had hers. She nodded her head and said, "Thank you, but we won't pull you in unless absolutely necessary." She thought for a moment and lifted a finger matter-of-factly. "Also, I've come to learn that humans aren't as weak as I believed them to be. Especially you."

When Max spoke to Rain Ukina looked down at him and moved some hair behind her ears. She had never seen Max in his humanoid form before. He looked nice. Handsome. If she wasn't in love with Ura perhaps she would have tried grabbing a dragon of her own. All of the ones she had seen were beautiful.

She turned to Rain as she was addressed and smiled when she said they hadn't met. "Actually, I think we have," Ukina told her. She tried to think but then shrugged. "But I'm not sure. As long as he is an ally of yours he is an ally of mine and Ura's," She said. The vampire took the time to look at Kyvael who had gone back to babysitting the egg and she smiled at him before turning back to Rain. She was babysitting too, in a sense. Though, Rain was fine all by herself. Such a strong woman.

When Rain fired the rocket launcher Ukina's eyes widened. "Rain!" She exclaimed. Ukina watched the rocket connect with some trees and she let out a small sigh of relief. Fortunately that hadn't hit anyone. It could have done some serious damage. "You really need to be more careful. I bet you it's the lack of sleep," The vampire muttered. She hopped over the balcony with Rain after she apologized and approached the dragons with the human silently, watching Max and looking him over.

X Location:Outside Tiger's Jeep

One more day of perfect terror. Close my eyes and I'm still there. Wrapped in water
My eyes explode from all this light. The taste the smell into the night. I can hear a symphony. A perfect crystal melody
And I just can't stop smiling at you. I just can't stop smiling.

Gate looked around at the carnage. The big Iron Carriage was in many different pieces now. And Tiger looked upset. Gate felt his insides turn into a knotted ball of ice and gulped softly as he uncurled himself. His eyes turned more calm, but his hands were shaking still. He patted Tiger's shoulder.
"...thanks... try... help. ...Repay."
He coughed a bit. His water-dragon bloodline making his lack of hydration a problem at the moment. But things were getting crazy and he didn't like that. He didn't want a fight right now. He wanted to get some water, maybe some food, curl up in a corner and sleep for awhile. Actually honest to god sleep.
Tiger had helped him, and it had gotten his Jeep shredded. The Plateo boy had been run over and still tried to help him. and now the funny smelling woman was in trouble too.
Because of him.

He smiled softly to Tiger before hopping out of the car. He shakily walked towards the fight, waving at the two. And when it was obvious his feeble waving wasn't going to get their attention he went with Plan B. He motioned to Tiger to cover his ears, made sure that he had.
And then he Roared.
LOUDLY.
When he was done he had a coughing fit for awhile and raised a single finger. When he tried to talk it came out as a soft rasp.
"...I.......I..."
Well, what little voice he had left was gone now. He slumped his shoulders and waved for them to stop. He looked at Reki and pointed to her.
He then pointed to himself. Then made a walking motion with his first two fingers. Then pointed to Reki.
Then he made an X with his arms, and mimed out some boxing punches. The message?
I'll go with you, but no fighting.
He paused for a bit. and held up a finger. Then made another X with his arms. Then made the neck-slashing motion with his thumb.
And no killing either.

He held his hand up to her, asking if they had a deal before he looked over his shoulder at Tiger and gave him a smile as if to say 'thank you but I'll be okay from here.'

Abel tumbled down the darkness. It felt like an endless fall into nothingness. On his way he had much to think on and none of it made him happy. Maybe small little things here and there. Like meeting Rain on his arrival to earth. Using a train for the first time, Rain had fallen asleep using the ride and Abel had been left to talk with everyone else on the bus. The old lady had been nice. Everyone else had been standoffish until Abel's aura had seeped into them. The hoodlum looking boys were nice as could be and the biker guy had a wonderful time joking and laughing wit Abel. The old lady took many flashes with a little box she called a camera. Even a big group photo with Rain in the middle and everyone around her smiling and pointing. Abel had had fun on earth. Even when Puriel came, especially when Puriel came. She had brightened Abel's life to it's extent. That right...that's why he was here! Veritas had sent him here to find her! After he had helped to kill his brother Cain. Abel had to find Puriel.

Abel found his bearings and stretched out his wings and found his bearings. As soon as he had he was rocketing downward. Veritas' voice hummed into his mind that he was close. Maybe a little closer than he thought because suddenly Abel was crashing face firsts into hard hot ground. Dust and debris plumed into the sky as he crash landed. Abel shakily stood and rubbed at his face. His body wasn't damaged. No, Abel's body was now much more sturdy within the confines of Hell. He could draw energy and life right out of the air if he needed to. Hell at this point he could reattach severed limbs. It was one of those funny things about Hell. You were easy to put back together because here you got torn apart by just about anything else roaming the lands.

Abel felt the divine energy from Heaven and earth weighing him down. He fell to his knees as his massive black wings hung behind him, they were at least twice the length of his body and night black. Abel finished dusting himself off, flapping his wings twice. Most of his clothes were gone except for his legs and they were shredded half way after his knee to his feet. The ground below his feet was hard, red, hot, and cracked. This area of Hell seemed to act much like a desert from earth only to extremes. Abel climbed out of his crater and picked up his shattered sword. Half of the blade had returned to normal but the other stayed broken. Abel sighed at the weapon and whispered a sorry before slipping it away.

Veritas' voice smoothly slipped into the air around him 'Abel. I have given you passage to Hell with a deal of difficulty I might add. I will no longer be able to help you from here on out. I could only manage to get you to the entrance. You must move through Hell and find the rings. Puriel will be in the seventh and final ring...just above Lucifer himself. It won't be easy...Good luck my friend' Abel nodded to this and looked up to the blood red sky "don't worry....I'll come back!" he repeated the last words he had spoken to Rain. Abel started walking. He would have to find his way eventually, right?

~

Had this been a mistake? Abel had been wandering you weeks now. Stubble had started growing on his chin and his skin was baked by the three suns over head. Small little scars and fresh wounds were on his body. He was currently trying to reattached three fingers that had been bitten off of a very large salamander looking demon. Abel was thirsty with no need to drink and it was torturing him. Ever since that first day it had been nothing but wandering, fighting, sleeping, or feeling like he was about to die. Was he no where near the gate to the rings? He knew he was to find a river only, having broken that out of a smaller demon that could talk.

A demon approached from behind. Abel stood and slipped his two still unhealed fingers away before glaring at the beast "You! Where is the river I seek?" The creature said nothing. It had maggots oozing from every pore and there were a lot of them. It was a small green child like monster with nothing but eyes and razor filled mouths all over it's body. Abel growled and pulled out his sword. He would dice it up then ask again! Abel's out look on this was beginning to sour. Hell did that to a man...

--A wolf is strong
she fights for what she wants
but she is nothing
without her pack.--

--Run, hide, survive.
That is the way.
The way of this wolf.--

Shay was a little in awe of what the kid was doing, what a trooper, she thought. Not many people get up from being hit by a drunk driving a** and live to tell the tail... or shoot flames this way and that. She shook her head and looked back at the jeep. Since the kid was busy distracting the dragon lady she could at least help get the other people moving. She had begun moving towards the jeep, but stopped when she saw Tiger’s passenger get out and walk towards the angry can opener.

She was going to yell at the man to come back, but he let out a loud roar that made her wince and cover her ears. Really?! She thought, did he have to do that. Couldn’t he have given some warning to those with sensitive ears? She frowned and looked up again, wanting to give the dragon a good whack upside the head. She resisted the urge, deciding that would not be the best thing to do at the moment.

She watched him curiously as he mimed to the woman that had come for him. Well what do you know, he was trying to help them out. She looked back at the jeep to where Tiger sat behind the wheel, he wasn’t doing anything at the moment, but he did not look happy. Another look back at the others and she decided to walk towards the jeep. She grabbed the driver’s side door and pulled it open.

“Okay I think you’ve sat here long enough. Your jeep is not going to be going anywhere I think,” she paused and looked at the tires. Turn back to look at Tiger, “Nah, she’s done for.” She paused again and looked at him. It looked like he was going to burst a blood vessel or three. She smirked, “You might want to move now,” she said standing out of his way.

-_-_-Ray-_-_-

Who am I really?

Ray had decided to take a walk. No exact reason it just seemed alright. Ray had been thinking alot about his past. Something he didn't usually do. He had always questioned what happened to him. When he awoke in that tomb they said that the tomb had been sealed for about fifty years. Ray shook his head as he continued to walk down his chosen path. Humming a cheerful tune. "Sometimes I think it was just a joke. Maybe I got drunk and wandered in there? Eh who knows?" He soon found a string of shops in the town that seemed peaceful. He found a nice looking antique store in the middle of the everything. He decided to walk on in and see what it had to offer.

The store smelt of dust and aging wood. The smell was a familiar smell. The old man behind the counter seemed to delighted to see a visitor. Ray decided to browse maybe find some nice decorations for his new home. The things in the store varied from big grandfather clocks, to small little jewelry boxes. There was some nice paintings on the walls and little dolls sitting on desks. There were things to please anyone here, but it looked like not to many people came in here.

No really who am I?

His car had first been turned into a can opener. And now... Now the tires were blown. All of them. Did this psycho b***h know how much tires cost to replace? He was going to be bankrupt after this stupid fight. And for what? A dragon who had been locked up for centuries as a slave? Why?

And that's what had Tiger hung up. As the jeep jerked downwards from no longer having tires to support them, the drunk glared over at Rek who was at his door now, taunting him. Why did she want him? After what she had just done to his precious P.O.S. jeep, he was in no mood to just hand him over. Why should he? She just ******** up his car!

"Hey, psycho b***h. No way in hell are you gettin' him," he snarled back at her. What was so special about this kid anyways?

There was just too much s**t going on. Sinnois was flicking acid-tripping colored fire all over the place, Shay was ordering him around, and now Tiger had his hand over his ears because slave-boy was roaring for quiet. Ear-piercingly loud... but effective. Slowly Tiger lowered his hands and watched from the drivers seat as slave-boy agreed to go with Rek to spare them. "God damn martyrs," Tiger muttered under his breath, reaching for something in the backseat, completely pissed off now. His hands grasped what he was looking for just as Shay came up to his window and told him his baby was a lost cause. No s**t.

"Outta the way princess," Tiger growled just as Shay moved aside. Kicking his door open, Tiger hopped out of his jeep and glared up at the dragon. "I ain't doin you any favors, you freakin' pyscho. That jeep is going to cause me a fortune to repair. Tires? SIX HUNDRED ********' BUCKS A PIECE!" he roared. "Now! If you had replacements for them, then maybe I'd be willing to negotiate with you. But I don't see any ********' tires lying nearby that fits my god damn car, so you can take your little offer and shove it, baby doll." Aiming the tranquilizer gun he had just picked up from the backseat up at Rek, he fired.

"The three of you, get the hell out of here," he ordered Shay, Sin, and Gate. "Blondie, keep him protected and out of sight from here on out. Until I know why she wants him, he's now under Hunter Protection. GO!"

There was one other reason why Tiger had remained in the jeep for so long. Not only was he raving mad about his car... but there was something familiar in Rek's eyes that left him sifting through hazy memories. It wasn't until Shay came up to his door to tell him to get a move on that he remembered. Lana. He had been the one to find the Hunter's body. And the girl had been smart enough to record the fight. Besides mourning over Shellis' death, Tiger had spent most of his time researching everything on Nyx. He was going to get revenge for Alana's death. And this crazy b***h had the same look in her eyes... But the last time he checked dragon's weren't part of a Chimera's gene pool. So this was probably just a long shot, but since she was a crazy b***h, maybe this chick knew Nyx. He wasn't leaving until he found out for sure.
