Welcome to Gaia! ::

It had been Alutar's intention to explore the surface when the darkness covered it. His curiosity had been slightly peaked by the different things he had found in the cavern when he'd been dumped out during a time of light. So the youngest prince had waited until the darkest hour of the night, then entered the strange open aired world. Alutar found the endless open sky above to be disorienting. It felt too...loose. That was the only word he could give to it. He was glad he didn't have to live up here!

But there were many curious things to be found here though. For instance, the sounds. Alutar found the sing song sound of the insects to be a unusual harmony. He had wandered out into a open grassy field in search of the creatures that made the sounds. But they were small and the plants were very concealing.

It was here that Teivel came upon him. After his Cursing, Teivel had, simply put, lost his grounding focus. He had attacked his brother Donnovon with a single minded determination to pass the Curse onto him. He had not succeeded, and each failure tormented him. So... Teivel found a manner to focus his frustration and anger. He hunted out those who served the being he felt consumed with absolute hatred. His father.

So when Teivel sensed the presence of his fathers blood, he had zeroed in on it, hopeful of finding his brother Donnovon. Instead, he laid eyes upon a male he had never met before. Teivel's white eye narrowed as he felt a wash of heat fill him. A sibling...spawn of his father... Teivel swayed for a moment where he stood. His hand grasped at the short sword at his side, and with a yell of anger and rage he raced across the open ground towards Alutar.

Alutar was on his knees, his hands pawing at the grass in search of one of the insects when he felt a chill settle over him. There was a sense of danger in the area. As he lifted his head, he heard Teivel's scream of rage. Alutar turned in time to see the masked man lunging at him with a sword. Alutar threw himself to the ground and rolled, which allowed him to avoid the first stabbing of Teivels sword. "Ah! What are you doing!? Get away!" Alutar exclaimed as he scrambled to his feet.

Teivel's hateful expression followed Alutar's frantic roll. He jerked his sword from the ground and spun after Alutar. "Godblood. I will sever your head and tail from your body to send back to Him!" He snarled.

Alutar's eyes widened at the furious assault the Cursed came at him with. He leapt to his feet, and dodged to one side as Teivel's sword came dangerously close to impaling him. The threat that Teivel had given was one that Alutar was ready to believe he had every intention of carrying out.

Teivel's fury led him after Alutar with every dodge the younger prince managed to make. Though Alutar was quicker then Teivel, he was also unarmed and unskilled in battle. Teivel had learned much of warfare during the battles he had flung himself into.

"Stop! I command you to back off!" Alutar yelled at the horned cursed as he failed to avoid a wide sweeping attack of the short sword. The black skin across his chest parted in a thin cut, and Alutar could feel the sensation of his own blood running from his wound and over his skin.

Teivel's only response was to attempt and follow through with his attack by throwing his shoulder into Alutar. It was a move he had learned tended to be quite successful in his previous battles, and it didn't fail him this time either. Teivel slammed into Alutar and knocked him to the ground. His foot lashed out to quickly stomp onto the tip of the princes tail as he lifted his blade over his head.

Alutar found the wind knocked from his lungs as he fell to the ground. He gasped to inhale, then released a pained screech as the sensitive tendrils on his tail were crushed under the foot of his attacker. Alutar kicked out frantically and wildly to try and break the pressure on his tail, but to no avail.

"You should be grateful." Teivel hissed from behind his mask. "He doesn't care about you. He never cares about anyone but himself. You'll never have to learn how little you really mean to Him." Teivel shifted his weight to apply more pressure onto Alutar's tail before sweeping his blade down in an attempt to sever it.

Teivel was taken aback by Ling's sudden appearance. He stepped back, thus releasing Alutar's tail, and lessening the depth of the blow that would have struck Ling. Teivel's white eye flickered with confusion...then the anger once more returned. "So. You would throw your life away in such a worthless act? So be it." Teivel hissed softly as he swung his blade once more, though this time it was aimed for Ling. "I will save you both from your misguided lives."

Alutar pushed himself away from Ling and his cursed half brother. His tail immediately snapped up against his chest as he cradled the end and fought back the urge to tear up.

Teivel barely glanced at Alutar once Ling had engaged him. His blade was stopped, but he turned his body so the other claw only sliced thinly through his over coat. Teivel lifted his knee, and attempted to ram it into Ling's stomach.

HP: 17

Teivel felt the strike hit, but paid it little heed. it wasn't like Ling had delt him a deep blow as of yet. The enraged Cursed stepped forwards in an attempt to stab his sword through Ling's leg.

HP: 16

"Pathetic" Teivel murmured when Ling would attempt to attack him with no more success then he had in his first attack. Teivel pivoted in place, then lashed out with his elbow for Ling's head. "You will not defeat me. You will fall to me. I will drain your blood upon the ground and leave you for the light to burn away."

HP: 12

Ling moved far more quickly then Teivel had anticipated. he staggered fowards with a terrible pain in his back. Wordlessly he turned and swung his sword in a backhanded swipe.

As the battle had progressed, Alutar had inched his way from the two combatants. He was ashamed to admit he was afraid to approach the Cursed. Something about him filled Alutar with a dread he'd never known before.
