Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I see..." she replied as she quickly recovered from the failed attack and leapt back into a twisting one handed handspring, in mid air she suddenly disappeared into twining vine like apparitions of shadow, the black lightening passing through empty air as she reappeared a few yards away, only a matter of inches from where her blade Nyththirren had fallen. She then sheathed both the scimitars in a smooth practiced motion before she replaced them with the fallen sword. As Issildia stood normally, Nyththirren hanging loosely from her right hand she spoke.

"If this is so, then how do you intend to deal with the larovian troops should they come to this city? I have watched them destroy entire civilizations in no more than a night's time, erasing all traces of a population in fire and ash. "

((well. I rpolly wont post til next friday, hopefully i'll remember to bring my external harddrive which the char bios of my two new chars -.-
I did this post rather quick so forgive any typoes or anything that may not make sense."))

"Who are you?" Echoed an a low muffled voice, rumbling to the surface from what would seem to originate deep below the surface. Seishin quirked a brow in surprise by remained motionless where he stood, hidden by both his ninja techniques and of the playful wind that carried through the plains. Kojin easily relayed the landscape around him showing him no sign of anyone else but yet the traces of the beings presence tugged at the edges of his mind. His clear pupilless eyes focused as he concentrated once more, feeling Kojin comply with his actions as his cold grip seized his mind once more heightening his senses. At once he saw it, a plainly clear aura rising from the ground around him. The aura was a deep green most likely strengthened by the earth. He knew at once who had spoken to him and a sly smile played at his lips.

"I am Seishin of The Mind... But I take you already know that within your heart, dont you? Kewaga... of The Flesh."

A low chuckle rumbled from the earth once more as if it we're laughing on its own. After several moments, several feet before Seishin, the soil and dirt began to sift into a hole as something began rising from it. A man appeared, head first, as if being raised by a platform from beneath earth's surface. His body was consumed by a green flame, his aura, and his skin appeared seared by the green symbols and runes that enveloped what would seem his entire body. Slowly the flames grew smaller and vanished into his flesh, however the ancient runes continued to clow brightly across his skin. A pair of cold, luminous eyes styared at him through, matted dreads. Seishin grinned slightly as he blinked blindly. Kojin spoke voiceless words to Seishin as he displayed the figure before him.

"Hello brother," Seishin said in a amused yet posessed tone. The words had been spoken through him by the spirit of Kojin.

Kewaga gazed back upon his unusual spiritual sibling as he too felt posessed by an unseen force, yet his words seemed to be his own.
"Its been many long years Seishin. Apparently the great fate has need of us once more."

"Yes it has been long while. It may seem, he, is needed once more, but I am still not sure to as why."

" I see," Replied Kewaga in a contemplated tone causing him to become quiet for several more seconds, "... Tell me, do you have word on the whereabouts of the other two."

"I sense their existance but I know nothing of them." Seishin's expressions became serious as he spoke.

"I see, then we must make haste." He gazed in the direction towards the distant city knowing his new friends may be in trouble and in need of his help somehow. " I gave my word..." He whispered, his voice filled with regret.

Seishin placed a hand upon his his spirit's sibling. " Then we must bgein our search now."He said in a reassuring tone, though unsure of what Kewaga was talking about. Looking back at Seishin, Kegawa nodded in reply. Simultaniously they disappeared as Seishin's appearnce fased away with a new forceful wind, while Kegawa was suddenly consumed quickly into the earth and beneath its surface.

"And such actions would make you no different than Reinsen." she countered icily.

As he made his attack Issildia silently cursed to herself for being so careless as she dodged to the side, her form taking on a translucent tone of a subtle light that seemed to enhance her speed, if only by a fraction because she visibly flinched as the blade grazed her side, leaving a shallow gash.
In reaction her left hand closed over the cut for a brief moment then pulled away with at narrow line of blood from the wound staining her glove.

From that moment on her demeanor changed, no longer did she intend to rely on an exchange of words, or meaningless dialogue.

Issildia then darted forward, her left hand drawing a trio of kunai from her belt, their tips instantly sparking to life with a pale silver fire spelled for the destruction of flesh and bone, without pausing she launched the three slender blades at him before making a subtle change of course to bring in her blade for a single horizontal slice towards his abdomen that carried with it the remaining momentum of her charge.

As the knife hurtled towards her, Issildia's form faded into their air in a subtle flare of pale light and twisting shadow. She was now resorting to combining the abilities of her two bloodlines as this was by no means a normal duel.

She reappeared in a similar manner off to Azure's left, and in a single smooth motion directed her blade into a low angular sweep at his side, as she moved she drew another kunai from her belt but did not choose to release it, instead it remained situated between her left index and middle finger, to be reserved for use after her current attack.

"Such bold assumptions....but this is far from over"
Issildia said as she brought her blade Nyththirren to angle downwards at a shallow slope in front of her, mimicking the position one would take before commencing an anierian style duel.

"The next move is yours." she said in a composed manner."And do not hold back."
As Issildia said this she altered the grip she had on her blade, to make it easier to reverse its function to that of defense should his next move require such actions.

Grevious looked upwards though the trees at the sound of the thunder off in the distance. He could only see a little ways though the forest of onethousand souls, but the bright flashes across the sky told him that something big was going on in the city that Reinsen was heading. Wrapping his poncho around himself a bit closer to keep out the rain he whipped on his horses reins and rode towards the head of the colum. Makeing his way next to Reinsen he slowed his horse down slightly behind the conquerer.

"Care to enlighten me as to what we're heading into Reinsen?"

What transpired after her final statement, Issildia dared not to find the words for. But even if her arrogance would lend itself to her death, she would rather die battling her opponent at their full strength than die with them holding back, for if you meet your end at the hands of another, then let it be an honorable end...and not one of cowardice.

Reacting as quickly as possible Issildia leapt back, but she regrettably felt the harsh bite of the blade into her side. Her move had spared her the full force of the attack but the now bleeding wound would now make things far more difficult for her.
But nonetheless she forced the pain back and brought her left hand forward that still held the kunai. Her eyes took on a lighter hue as the kunai flared to life with a dark fire that was threaded with twisting tendrils of white flame that was spelled to consume flesh upon contact.

With a brief grimace in regard to the gash at her side, Issildia leapt forward, using both the momentum of the lunge and her arm to launch the kunai at his chest. Then her blade shot out at a stop thrust, a move designed to puncture the torso at a precise angle.
