Andreas had managed to Fira in front of Zetsuei's attack, but with one last effort to stop the attack she put on hand forward towards the three spinning crescents. With one had still holding tightly to her staff not wanting to let Andreas get a hold of it, her other palm spread towards Zetsuei's attack and shot fire from it. The fire was white hot which almost made it a solid shield that cupped back around her, and unfortunately Andreas who too close to stop her defense from working for him as well.
The three crescents hit one after another all crushing into the flames but none getting through shearing barrier. As soon as the barrage of the three crescents ended Fira hand quickly went back to gripping the staff along with the other. With a jerk she attempted to pull the staff from him, "Your soulless Andreas... now let go!"

andreas just let out a cackling laugh as he watched fira protect them both then calling him soulless as she struggled to get back her staff.
"why thank you fira"
the staff burnt at andreas flesh as steam rose from them but he enjoyed this sort of pain, he new the scars would remain on his hands forever but that didn't matter. moving closely to fira he whispered into her ear.
"you know fira i could quite enjoy having you around to cause me pain"
he smiled still next to her ear breathing down her neck.

"You don't even know what pain is," Fira tried to keep the warning tone in her voice with her grip sturdy on the staff with her hands still remaining unburned and blood draining from the cut in her side, staining her robe. "I could cause you pain far beyond torture... Even so that's only the physical form. Until you've experienced the mental and emotional part of it, you don't know the meaning of the word," The phoenix's head turned to look him in the eyes ignoring the pain of her injuries, "Physical pain may bring you pleasure, but the mental part of it will horrify anyone."

he stared her straight back with a toothy grin.
"i look forward to it"
pain a torment were things andreas like to experience they showed him the depth he could take to reach his goal and if he could endure them then he was worthy of that power.
"im wiling to go to the brink of insanity if it helps me obtain something great. but we will see what becomes of me and you will see how far i am willing to go to get what i want"
andreas clenched his fists over the staff his skin starting to peal then flames began to burn at his sleeves from it but still he refused to let go. then he took his hand from it almost instantaneously and moved it towards her throat ready to throttle her.

"You'll never get what you want, cause your always wanting more," Just as quick the heat of Fira's staff was raised as had no means of stopping Andreas' hand. She didn't want to chance letting go of the staff with one hand again, giving him the advantage to pull it away, and her wings where quite as fast or as flexible to cover her throat. Desperately she steadied her grip on the staff before once again jerking it back as hard as she could, meanwhile her neck wasn't as defenseless as it may have seemed. The blood pumping through her veins began to boil as it rushed to the throat beginning to slowly raise it to unbearable temperatures for all, but a phoenix.

Watching his attack fail due to Andreas using Fira as a shield he knew as long as he had Fira close by him he couldnt do anything but leave it up to Fira. He wasnt about to put his friend in harms way again. Resting his blade over his should he watched for an opening in Andreas defenses.

andreas felt the tremendous heat bite at his finger tips and pulled away smiling.
"he he, i admire that in you fira always very resourceful"
andreas lifted his fingers to rub her cheek and brought it back just as quickly, then he let go of the staff and looked straight at her smiling as if she was his to do away with as he pleased. standing there for a moment he realized he was beginning to feel the pain of battling so much and his magic had drained him a great deal. it was fun to play with all of them but if he didn't escape to recover it did not look good. hmm he needed a plan.
he quickly slid around fira like a snake slipping around its prey drawing his rapier and getting ready to lift it beneath her chin,if he could just put one at risk enough for the others to back of it might give him time to get away.

Fira stumbled back as suddenly Andreas let go of the staff as she was trying to jerk it out of his hands. Before she knew it she was in his grip lifting his blade to her neck. Her eyes narrowed and she began to raise her body temperature to burn him away, then suddenly stopped. The phoenix had just realized what a foolish thing she had done, fighting with her fire magic, while a precious piece of old paper containing a spell lay with in a pocket of her robes.
Remembering how Caerula at the phoenix temple had stressed not to destroy such a rare spell and it was within her responsibility to make sure it was safe for Maki’s sake if they couldn’t find another way to bring her back. Looking up at Zetsuei, she gripped her staff tightly, for she was at a loss of what to do as the blade slid under neck. Any attack she made would be fire, and that was putting the paper at risk.

Watching Fira go off balance and Andreas slide his blade under her throat he knew there wasnt anything he could do right now with Fira in such a tight spot.
"Let her go Andreas and run away. We can finish this the next time we meet for the final time. I want you at full strength when we meet next."
Taking his blade off his shoulder it vanished as he lowered his spirit pressure to make the pale blue aura around his body disapted.

The young girl was confused and began crying. Looking at the woman she had to ask, "Who are you and why do you travel with Shinja?"
Even though everything felt wrong, she would go with them if they answered correctly.

andreas smiled keeping his blade close to firas neck and letting his head rest next to hers.
"and why should i do that when it seems im at a clear advantage here"
he hated to admit but his strength was greatly depleted, he didnt understand why but fira could have easily used her flames to stop him, he new she was stronger than that.the question was why,what was she protecting.
"what are you protecting fira" he whispered into her ear then called out to Zetsuei. "as you wish and next time we meet i will see you Zetsuei i will see you plunged on the end of my sword and let you see those you fail to save just before you die hahahaha!"
with that he quickly with drew his rapier pouncing back towards the gate and looked about quickly.
"heres a parting gift from me"
with the last ounce of his magical strength andreas cast gust around him lifting the corpses of the dead from rat, thug to avardian guard and threw them straight at the group sending there lifeless bodies down upon them. with that he then turned and sped of out the castle gates running as fast as possible across land till he could take of and fly away.

"hehe, aww foo eeyy, over already"
looked like the battle was finally over, he wondered what it was all in aid of but the dark energy he felt was familiar to him. he wondered where his mother was he would like to thank her personally.
it felt wonderful to be out in the open and as he jumped up over the rubble and a few bodies to the castle walls he smiled looking out onto the world. what fun he was about to have, this scene he had witnessed would just be the start of things if he had anything to say about it and he would love to meet all these people. just so he could find the best way to hurt them hehehe.
for now the dark blood called to him and he yearned for it. he could sense the man who had left had an ounce in him to but he would leave him till later, right now there were those here that had it and he would torment them no end in ways he only could until he managed to drain it from them.
he giggled evilly as he sat on the ruined castle wall finding the corpse of a dead guards men and placing his fingertip on his brow to place in his mouth and lick the blood of. the taste was enjoyable.

The girl was growing impatient with the woman's hesitation.
"Please ... tell me. Who are you and why do you travel with Shinja?" she said this time her impatience echoed in her small voice.

Fira dropped to her knees as soon as she saw the bodies flying through the air towards them. She huddled covering her face and closed her eyes. By the time the attack was over she slowly opened her eyes and jumped back onto her hands with horror seeing one of the dead rat creatures laying before her. Breathing a sigh of relief after a moment catching her breath, she once again jumped, but to her feet as she quickly searched for the spell.
When Fira’s fingers did finally sweep over the edge of the ridged paper in one of her pockets another wave a relief went through her body, as she slowly pulled it out. Upon seeing it she examined the slightly singed edges, other than that, the paper was fine. Holding the spell securely in her hands she looked up at Zetsuei then glanced back the way Andreas ran off, “How do we find Maki, if that girl was Maki, now that he has her?”

andreas flew his vulture like wing flapping darkly in the wind as feathers were falling of them. looking across the ground he could see the foot prints of yukis horse barely leaving tracks ahead of him. moving lower to the ground he flew near to it in order to clear away any tracks the others might follow blowing them away in the dust.
they make come after him soon, he was sure they had let him go for fear of young maki, now that they didnt know where she was any move they made against could result in them never finding out. andreas liked this a bargaining chip such as the young girl was a great asset if problems arose.
flying briskly towards his destination he was eager to see to his wounds before they got to much to bare.the scar on his back still hurt like hell but the burn marks he could tolerate.
just then he saw a traveler ahead, it was yuki he had not believed flying could be so fast but it was a welcome relief and he landed a fair distance away from them.
"good work yuki, but let us hurry before they come"
he turned to the young girl who seemed confused and bewildered smiling to her.
"do not worry young one as we said we are your friends, but it does not surprise me you do not remember me. you have been through a great ordeal but we will make sure your well taken care of and looked after once we get to endairon"
he pattered her head in the nicest of manners and smiled gently.
"i see yuki has manged to help you safely escape, she a cunning warrior but as you can tell she has a lot of compassion for you. please no little one do not be scared all shall be explained once we make it into the city"
andreas carefully mounted the steed with them both as they rode of once again.
