Kegawa nodded, a faint smirk playing at the lips of his rune masked face. He said no more on about any subject, feeling a feint discomfort blanket over his nerves. Though still himself, his other half had been correct in the arguement before he had his episode that caused the changes of his body, everything that occured only proving and reminding him of it.

As the dalion beasts neared and launched themselves at Archer and Kyrion the two azerians suddenly dissipated into insubstantial air that burst forwards to the north.
The landscape of Keirdon flew past them as they invisibly crossed distance between their current location and the border of Larovia and Keirdon, and they continued on further still as the air grew thin and cold from the mountains that were now below them. It was then that they began to descend, their molecules realigning as they dropped so that at the moment they touched the ground, both their forms were once again whole and present on the physical plane.
"We should not be far from Anier, if we continue on through the night we will reach your companions before they reach the Forest of 1000 Souls...though" Kyrion stated indifferently. "You will not make it very far in your current condition and I did not intend on walking there like a wingless human, pitiful creatures really." he said muttering the last part to himself.

Archer opened his mouth to retort, but bit his cheek, and clenched his jaw. He spokeslowly. "Yes, well I can recover myself if there is a large body of water nearby." His hand, the one not grasping Kyrion, clenched with anger.

Kyrion merely nodded, "Lake Veldan in less than a mile to the north, go there and recover but do not tarry long near the ruins. I will meet you there in a few hours, we will continue one from there, with luck we will come upon your companions before they cross the Que' Dari river." he stated in an emotionless tone as he stepped away from Archer and unfurled his wings as if to take flight.
"Tenna' telwan." he said before he silently leapt up into the night sky, gaining the forest canopy with a single beat of his wings before disappearing off to scout the path that they would take. He could already sense the others, one aura was as easy to sense as a candle in a shadowed room, the other was a bit more subtle yet it perplexed Kyrion that it seemed to carry two distinct auras within it but he ignored this as he studied the remaining two, one being of a spirit that knew only light, and the last being of a darkness that was unique to only one name...Nevar.
He continued on through the night, over the mountains and the forests, circling once high above the river before turning back to the partially frozen body of water that was Lake Veldan to meet back with Archer.
(Translations-"Tenna' telwan."= Until Then

"Tenna' telwan." Archer repeated, his new accent, one of a traveler rather than one of his countries, made the phrase somehow... diluded. He turned to the North, and got to the lake before he even realized it was a mile. His mind wandered, wondering about the man who led his country. He lowered to his knees by the water, putting his right hand into it. The water sprang to his fingertips, and up his arms, cleaning cuts and scratches. It spread to his oter arm, and then to his wings, and then his legs. It smothered him, but he was used to it, the sensation of not breathing for a short while. The water turned back, going back to his hand, and then to his water. He started breathing heavy. That had taken more energy than he anticipated, but it had worked marvelously. Now all he neede was wrapping. He knew weeds would align the lake, so he used the water, and pulled them to him. He did not bother to dry them, as he wrapped his left arm as best he could.

The subtle rush of air heralded Kyrion's near silent return as he landed behind Archer, his eyes looking up to meet the sight of the Anier looming off in the distance, rising up out of the lake no more than a frail shadow of it's former majesty.
"They are not far from here, by wing we will reach them long before they set off again." he pronounced in a subdued manner.

Sin tried to pay attation to Issildia's conversation with the stranger but the night was dragging on and after a few moments he had fallen alseep. His head laying on his arms which rested on his knees, which were brought up to his chest. Snoreing lightly he mumbled incoherient words now and then but stirred little.

"Well, Kyrion, I have merely cleaned my wounds, and slightly healed myself. My left arm is still broken, and my wings are too weak,mas if I pulled multiple muscles." He rose, his left arm stiffly wrapped with weed. His wings were clean, but blood started to seep into the feathers again.

Kyrion frowned in slight frustration at the young azerian. "A problem that is easily remedied." he countered.
"I assume that you have yet to master the seven gifts of our blood if you are unable to heal yourself...but you are young which is reason enough to be ignorant of such things, I suppose." he muttered as he extended his right hand.
"If you will allow it I can heal your wounds since you are unable to do so yourself."

~When Azrielle heard Malkaia's voice, he quickly came out of his trance, only to be interrupted by the voice of an unknown warrior. Malkaia, suddenly snatched his blade away from the man before him, and made a devastating slash to its torso. As the man stumbled backwards, Malkaia had the pleasure of watching the wound close almost instantly. Shocked at this event, Malkaia took up another stance, and prepared for another attack. Azrielle moved to the side of Malkaia, and so did the man that accompanied him. There was a third intruder to this cave, calmly walking up to Niobe as he watched the three of them battle with the unkown man.~
So, this is the creature that Malkaia fears....and that man is his brother....interesting. He does seem formidable.
Indeed he does, Lord Darsha.
This is no time for games Aschera. We have to stop this man. He is even more dangerous than Akurei.
This is the threat that you warned me about? Interesting.
In any case, his healing will become a problem. Any suggestions.
We will just have to make sure he can't heal himself...even if it means tearing him apart...one limb at a time. twisted
Agreed. twisted
Man: Vayn dra Fnydr uv dra Rayjahc. (Fear the Warth of the Heavens.)
~The man let out one earshatterring shriek as he prepared to strike once again. It was not Darsha and Aschera it was concerned with, it seemed to only have eyes for Malkaia and Azrielle. As they prepared to strike, Darsha studied the inscriptions on the walls of the hall. There were some words written in a language that he could understand.~
~To light a flame is to cast a shadow.
To become a hero is to vanguish your evil.
To become a saint is to renounce your sins.
To become angel is to become a devil.
Seven Lights, Seven Shadows. Seven Sins, Seven Virtues. Seven Guardians, Seven Gates. One being...to conquer them all.~

Archer clenched his jaw. "It is not because I am young that I am deprived of my natural gifts, Kyrion." He opened his wings slightly. "But I will allow you to heal my wounds."

(This is a bit of a time jump to get Archer and Kyrion back with the main group. 3nodding )
~As the sun rose that following morning Issildia was already awake and could be found standing at the edge of a grassy rise a short distance from the camp. Silently she looked to the west where hidden amongst the snow capped peaks of the Heriden mountains the ruins of Anier remained.
After spending the better part of the sunrise at that spot she finally turned to return to the others in order to depart, though it was at this moment that she heard the distant sound of something familiar...wings.
Turning back to the west, Issildia was more than a little surprised to see two winged beings quickly approaching.
"It can't be" she murmured in surprise
"Archer...and..." her voice faded out as she recognized the second of the two, and to say the least it was not someone she would have expected...

Archer flew alongside Kyrion, thoguh he did not entirely like it. e saw Issildia in the distance, and prepared to land, slowing down, and leveling his wings to soar in smoothly. He landed easily, running a few steps, and then stopping, to keep momentum from overpowering him.

Sin slowly walked up the rise behind Issildia yawning and holding what looked to be two small steaming cups of some odd liquid. As he made it next to her he offerd one of the cups to Issildia. From the cups came a few wisps of steam and a warm apple smell.
"Want some? It's one of the Herbs the Monkoto cultivate in the moutains... it doesn't do much but smell and taste like warm apple cider... but it's hot and it'll help wake you up."
With that Sin let out another loud yawn and took a careful sip from his own cup. Seeing Issildia looking up into the sky he wearly glanced upwards and saw the two figures approaching.
"Oh hey... isn't that Archer?"
Sin commented as Archer landed a few feet away from them.

Kegawa stirred at the small fire, with a thin, long twig, jabbing at the smouldering ashed-wood herding it towards a pile with logs of similar fates, to keep the fire going as long as possible before they left. He stared into the sparks and the smouldering ash, as a small flame appeared, due to the combined heat of the several nearly useless logs. His face, though having no expression, hinted at his troubles as his mind seemed to conflict with itself over some matter.
Kegawa shook himself for his thoughts, as he gazed towards the others, and the feitn commotion he heard, the sound of several pairs of wings having reached his ears. He sighed softly, but shrugged it off as he continue to adjust the logs, making sure nothing had not been touch by the flame and turned to smouldering ash, his mind returning to its own troublesome thoughts.
