Streak features were already beginning to darken. His eyes already having a red complexion. The process was already accelarating.

((Sorry it's taking me so long to post, but we are getting ready for the Big Deployment. To everyone that wished me a hapy birthday, Thank you. I wil try to post as often as I can, but if I cannot, Crow, has my permision to Ghost Azrielle and Akurei.))
~Azrielle had not been seen for some time, since the incident within Reinsen's castle. He had taken his leave of his Master, Demitri and disapeared completely. There has been no sogn of him or his presence since then. In truth, he found himself in the forgotten wild. He seemed to frequent this place often looking for answers. Answers behind his existence, and his origins. This particular time however was different for he was not alone. He was training with a warrior who bore a remarkable resembeance to himself. In fact, this warrior was indeed his twin with few modifications. While Azrielle possessed Dark hair and green eyes, this warrior possessed Blood Red hair and fiery orange eyes. As they trained they discussed the recent events that have come to pass.~
So, he has shown himself again. This could get ugly in a hurry.
It already has. He's given a crystal fragment to Reinsen.
You're kidding right? This is just perfect.
Why do you think he shattered the crystals in the first place?
It was probably unintentional. I doubt that even he could harness their full potential.
Maybe that's why he's allowing them to keep them in their possession?
Yeah. He's biding his time while he looks for her.
If the prophesy is true, then she'll be the one.
Exactly, but we'll deal with that when the time comes. Right now, we both have our own roles to play. It's about time you returned. I'm sure Demitri could use your protection.
And what of you, how long will you play his puppet.
Only until after Reinsen is dead. The timing will have to be flawless to pull this off, but with HIM around, this will be much more difficult than it has to be.
Yeah. I think I'll get back. Something isn't right about this whole thing. I have to find out what it is, and hopefully I can prevent it.
Yeah. I'll do some digging around and let you know what I come up with. So lets say in about a week or so. Back here, same time.
Alright then. Take care Malkaia.
You too, little brother.
~With that, Azrielle disappeared from sight and the warrior left behind, his Older Brother Malkaia was left behind. He only stayed for a few seconds before he was approached by another, a woman behind him. She seemed to be watching him for some time.~
What do you want?
I was just checking up on our lord's most Trusted body guard.
If I needed someone to check up on my progress, I'd send word to Darsha myself.
My my my, so feisty.
What do you want Kuro?
Our lord and Master requests your presence at once. That is all.
Understood.
~With that, Malkaia disappared into a cloud of flames and left the valkyrie in the forest to fend for herself. She looked down to the ground only to find a single black feather laying on the ground a few feet from where Malkaia was standing. When she reached to pick it up, a man appeared behind her, greeting her with a hand on her shoulder.~
I cannot allow you to interfere.
((LONG POST!!! O.O Yes, Crow, I'm bringing him back too. xd ))

The pendant only slightly slowed the process down. Streak was still changing very quickly. Everything, other than that pendant, had either failed to have an effect or speeded up the process. It was only a matter of minutes until Streak's transformation would be complete.

chehero still stood in the hallway watching the events that passed before her. "strange people," Wokada mutterd. Chehero didn't feel like shushing her dragin again, so after sending an evil look in the dragins direction, The dragin grew silent again. Turning away knowing that she would have to ignore the events mainly cause they didn't consern her at the moment, she traveled to the southern wing of the castle.

~During the time since the attempted assassination on Reinsen's being, the man known as Akurei had made his way into the ranks of Reinsen's council. His plan seemed to be going off without much interference, but at the same time, there were several unexplained events that bothered him. None the less, he continued his explanation on the Crystal Fragments as he addressed Reinsen and his council of the mattters.~
As you can see, just a tiny fragment of the Crystal Ushe has greatly enhanced our Lord's power. He is stronger, faster, and more than capapble of....
You still have not explained how you know so much about these Crystals Lord Akurei.
You are knowledgeable, it is true, but too much knowledge is dangerous.
Yes, you are correct. If knowledge is power, then you should be grateful that I am your ally.
.............
..............
Now, before I was so rudely interupted.....you can see the effects clearly in our Lord. If we could restore the Crystal in it's entirety, the results could increase his current power one thousand fold.
A power like that would make us...
Gods.
Akurei, how many crystals are there to collect?
It is difficult to say. There could be hundreds, maybe thousands. But I am certain of one thing. If the crystals are in the hands of the Ryera, then you can expect things here to errupt soon.
I see. I will have a unit start searching for the fragments, but lets get something clear, Emperor of Trenius Sekia...You are still an outsider. Should you become pleasant to my eyes, you will face severe consequences.
Understood. stare
~In his mind, Akurei would have been laughing at the thought of a mere mortal threatenning his life, but he did not wish to blow his cover just yet. If his objectives were to be met efficiently, he would have to accomplish two things. First he would eliminate all who pose a threat to his plans, and second he would keep any assassins away from Reinsen, long enough to gain his trust. Then when the t ime was right, he would strike. It seemed simple enough to him, but he knew that the Ryera's did not like the thought of his presence at Reinsen's side. They would soon attempt an assassination with him being their target, but doing so would only lower Reinsen's trust in them. All that was left to do was wait.~

The sun had just begun to cast it's glow across the waning darkness of night as Demitri Zarian stepped to the edge of a pier, where at the end resting in the waters of the lake was one of the Queen's own private boats. A single elegant scalloped sail swept high above the slender craft. Demitri then after inspecting the craft turned towards the monolithic palace, where one gateways that led out of the city opened. Lizzera Mateir was robed in a pale lavender cloak that hid all but the pale skin of her face and the bright silver of her eyes. To the right of the Queen walked Issildia who was now garbed differently than before, wearing a form fitting suit of ebony leather armor that was edged in slight silver designs. Issildia was also cloaked like both Demitri and the Queen were, though unlike Demitri's black and gold edged cloak, Issildia was garbed in an ebony cloak that was edge in silver. The cloak cast a deep shadow over her face as she and the Queen drew closer to Demitri and the boat. Finally with a slight nod from Demitri, Issildia stepped into to the craft with Lizzera. "There are horses across the lake for us" said Demitri quietly as he pushed the slender craft away from the pier. "We will be traveling with a small group of guards until we reach Terradova, then we will be own our own, if the Nazuren was correct then Anier will need all of the warriors that we can supply." Issildia nodded as Lizzera looked of towards the approaching shore, "Then we best make it to Keirdon as quickly as possible" Issildia said, "It is a pity we can simply get their by other, faster means, but if our intel is correct then the Larovians have been placing Altharie crystals all over the kingdom, to restrict our movements, from now on we won't be able to move throughout the kingdom using out more potent of abilities." Demitri nodded at this, "Yes, it will prove to be a problem, but once we make it into Keirdon we will be able to move about as we please." As he finished this statement there was a slight shudder throughout the craft as it made landfall. Instantly a duo of Anierian warriors stepped out of the forest that surrounded the Lake and aided Lizzera in exiting the craft. Issildia and Demitri exited the boat on their own and quickly followed the guards that were escorting the queen to where the rest of their force was waiting. The walk was a short one as they came upon five other soldiers who were already mounting their steeds. Lizzera was helped onto a sandy colored palfrey, while Demitri mounted the honey colored destrier to the Queen's right. Issildia then mounted the gray destrier to the Queen's left and gently set her hand against the horse's gray neck for a moment before glancing at Demitri who nodded to her. "Are you ready Lizzera?" he asked. Lizzera answered quickly though Demitri and Issildia could detect the barest hint of a dismal edge to her voice, "Yes, give the order Demitri" "Khila amin" commanded Demitri as he suddenly spurred the charger into a steady trot. Two guards filed in behind him, and four rode on either side of the Queen, and the last guard rode behind. Issildia was the last, positioned to watch their backs. Already the bow that had been strapped to her saddle had been loosed of it's trappings, and was now set across the front of the saddle with the quiver open and strapped to the back of the saddle and within easy reach.

A large host of Larovia's forces now march towards Anier, but unlike all of those that have attempted to conquer the city in the past, this force is not living, but Dead. Damien Ryera succeeded in creating a bodyless host of the Dead. Anier can not hope to be victorious when the battle begins. The White City can only hope that aid from Keirdon will arrive in time. But before this can happen, the Queen of Anier, Lizzera Mateir must make it to Faltora, the capital city of Keirdon to talk with Nicholas Remos on his aid towards Anier. So much now rides upon the shoulders of the Queen and those that have chosen to aid her.

~A dark figure suddenly materialized to the left of Demitri's steed. His body covered in a black material that did not seem native to this land. The material seemed to possess its own energy, but at the same time, it was something close to organic. It was known among the Celtarie as the Skull suit. A bio-mechanical armor that resembles something of a wet suit. It was said that mass production was interrupted when the prototype disappeared, but here it was in front of their eyes.
Azrielle had returned to his master's side, and he was running along side Demitri's steed, a look more fierce in his eyes than anyone had ever seen. It was known not to ask any questions when he disappears, and returns, as there was no need. He would explain himself whent he time came, but as of now, there were more important matters at hand.~
Master, are you sure this is alright, leaving Anier to fend for itself like this? Something isn't right about this whole situation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~To the west of Larovia, there lay Baledon Sukiyo, the Kingdom of the Flame. This was a domain of Darsha Nevar, and also an ally of Larovia. It was there, that the man, Malkaia had been seen again. He was walking through the Palace, heading away from the throne room. He had received his orders from his master and was now on his way to carry them out. one of the Officers stopped to ask him of his orders, but he did not seem to pleased to see him.~
So, you're really going? That is a suicide mission if what you say is correct.
It is not anything that concerns you Solace.
You know my brother, Sunactos and I have been wondering something about you for a long time.
And what might that be?
You are obviously Azerian, but tell me, how did you come to possess the power that you have? Control over blood is a vampiric technique that only my family could master, but you...you are different. What is it, Ryomoku? If you are who I believe you to be, I wil have to kill you here and now.
stare Save your threats vampire. If I were who you believe me to be, I doubt you'd risk angering your lord.
........
But then again...if I am, you would not be capable of defeating me either. twisted
~With that Malkaia pushed passed the Vampiric lord and proceeded out of the palace. He knew that he had upset his interogator, but at the same time, he was intrigued at the thought of adding another vampire to his collection. He knew that what he said had given away his identity, but if all worked to his favor, Solace would have no opportunity to carry out his threats.~
So, it is true. Ryomoku, I shall have your head yet. Just you wait. evil

Demitri, unlike the guards that were trailing him did not seem startled by Azrielle's appearance. "I agree," said Demitri grimly in response to Azrielle's statment, "But we will be sending the guards back to Anier upon reaching Terradova, from there Issildia, Lizzera, and you along with myself will be completing the journey to Keirdon. If you haven't heard the news, Nicholas Remos of Keirdon has offered aid to Anier. Though I am concerned that Lord Remos will ask for Anier to do something in return." Demitri then fell silent as he continued to lead the party through the forest of the Forgotten Wild, already Anier could no longer be seen.
Suddenly the sound of an arrow hissing through the air caught Demitri's attention, he wheeled his destrier around to see Issildia with her bow out and notched with a second arrow, he expression was calm though there was a glint of anger in her eyes, as a limp corpse suddenly fell out of a tall pine fifty yards or so away, with an arrow protruding from it's neck. Issildia cursed under her breath then looked up at Demitri as she put the bow away and unsheathed her blade Sumar, "Scouts!" she shouted. Suddenly the sound of another arrow hissed through the air, though it was not Issildia that had shot it. The arrow raced past Lizzera missing her only barely, only to plunge itself into one of her guards.
There was then a collective sound of the party's blades being drawn.
At this a cloud of arrows suddenly leapt from the surrounding trees. Demitri's free hand shot out and there was a hiss of electricity within the area, as a bolt of lightening suddenly leapt from his open palm. The lightening raced forward at the barrage of arrows only to split into hundreds of separate smaller bolts that met the oncoming attack, utterly destroying the arrows.
"Go!" shouted Demitri at the Queen and her guards, as he lowered his hand "We will deal with this.!"
At that moment the Larovian Scouts revealed themselves as they dropped out of the surrounding trees, there were only fifteen of them but they were well armed with various weapons. They were all cloaked in dark gray cloaks, that allowed them to blend into the fading shadows of the retreating night.
Issildia slid off her charger, Demitri quickly followed suit brandishing his blade Osirus as he did. Then as his feet his the ground the air became saturated in electricity his eyes seeming to change from a dark green to a pale gold. "Lle desiel?" asked Demitri with a slight smirk.
Suddenly he and Issildia dove forward at their foes, their movments synchronized as they reached the scouts to their right. The four scouts instandly began their attack, two of them preparing to fire their bows again and the other two drawing their blades.
As this happened Lizzera and her guards were racing through the forest towards Terradova.

((Of course. I told you. A lot will be explained in this. Watch me work. xd ))
~When Demitri gave his command to the Queen and her party, Azrielle had already leapt into the trees. Three corpses had fell from the trees above as Azrielle made his attack. He could sense another, a more powerful being in the immediate area, and he was hunting him...or so it seemed. For as he cut his way through the scouts, he was indeed being targetted himself. His stalker drew her bow, and took aim, Azrielle dead in her sights.~
I've heard rumors about you, but even still, I cannot allow a monster like you to continue on your path of destruction.
~Upon cuttind down the last scout in hi area, the being he hunted came into sight. He recognized him immediately. It was none other than Sunactos de Leneire, brother of Solace de Cenarie. Their gaze met, and Sunactos's face grew wide with a sinister grin. He raised his hand towards Azrielle, and a gust of wind lunged out at him. before he could react to this attack, a surge of pain raced through Azrielle's torso, as it was pierced by a very peculiar arrow.
Azrielle grabbed the arrow and attempted to pullit from the wound, but it seemed to react to his dark blood, burning his hand. Somehow he succeeded in removing the arrow, but the wound had begun to release a black smoke. He looked back in the direction of the arrow, and he saw a female, a Valkyrie, standing in another tree. He did not recognize this female at first, but the sight of an indigo jewel in her forhead struck his memory. As his vision began to blur, he found his left knee and his right torso pierced by more arrows. He was unable to keep his strength up, due to the poison in the Valkyrie's arrow. As he struggled to get to his feet, his back was then pierced by an additional three arrows. Azrielle had begun to cough up blood, as he looked back up at Sunactos. He now understood why his brother chose the path he did. The valkyrie took aim once again, but this time she was stopped by Sunactos. For some reason Sunactos did not want him dead, but as always he enjoyed seeing one suffer.~
Why do you stop me?
You will only make it worse.
That's the idea.
You are a fool. His life holds no dominion here. Destroy his body, and he will only be reincarnated as something more powerful. Leave him be for now. We've accomplished our objective.
What was that arrow?
Just a "gift" from his father.
A gift?
Lets just say this war will be ours. Let's go, we have a city to conquer.
Sun...act...os...
~With that, the two of them, Sunactos and his suboordinate disappeared into the darkness of the forest. Azrielle had fallen into a trap like no other. Not only was he unable to sense the presence of the valkyrie, but he was now at the mercy of a poison that was not native to this realm. One that would change his life for centuries to come.~

(((Bravo lol, xd and so it begins...)))
Issildia and Demitri quickly moved through the ring of scouts tearing their enemies apart. Through they did indeed bear wounds of their battle, a long slender cut ran down the length of Issildia's face, though already her accelerated healing abilities were slowly taking effect. Demitri also suffered from a blow to the ribs, though the wound did not hinder his movements all that much.
As the last of the Larovian warriors rose to strike Demitri, the scout's attack was halted by a slender knife through the spine. Issildia stood behind the last of the warriors as he fell to the ground.
It was then that Demitri saw what had transpired while he and Issildia had been battling the scouts. Demitri cursed under his breath in a language that even Issildia did not know and quickly approached the wounded Azrielle. "Issildia, how do you fare in the healing arts?" he demanded.
Issildia sheathed her blade and quickly came to Demitri's side, "Not well" she answered darkly as she reguarded Azrielle's wounds with wary gaze.
, Demitri looked slightly angered by this fact, Issildia noticed this and spoke..."Demitri you know that I do not posses all of the gifts of an Anierian" she argued.
Demitri simply nodded at this, "I will deal with the arrows you do what you can." Issildia nodded slightly and watched as Demitri reached to remove the first of the arrows in Azrielle's torso, "Don't move" he said, his words clearly indicating that it was a command.

((I present to you, Akurei's Avatar. xd ))
~As his master reached for the arrow, Azrielle had taken on traits that no Celtarie should be capable of. He had begun to growl uncontrollably as the smoke continued to rise from his wonuds. the skin around his right eye had begun to tear in a long slit but somehow it stopped before reaching his throat. His growling began to grow more intense as this process took over his body. He looked up at his master, his eyes glowing a dark saphire, as he managed to get to his hands and knees. His voice more fierce, but it sounded as though two different people were speaking at once.~
St..stay away...from me...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~Malkaia had appeared at he head of the army that was marching towards Anier. His orders were to aid Reinsen's army by whatever means necessary. While the other commanders all rode black stallions, Malkaia on the other hand was mounted on a creature that was thought to be extinct. This Dragon-like creature was much larger than any of the horses that were present, but at the same time, it was still young. Its wings folded as it marched ahead of the army, Malkaia rode this creature almost as if it were a pet of some sort. When Sunactos and Solace appeared, they made their way towards the head of the army and rode their own stallions next to Malkaia. Sunactos on a Blood Red Stallion which he named, Red Hare, and Solace on a Jet Black Stallion named Shadow Runner.~
So it was true. Our lord has dispatched you to aid in this battle. This must be fairly important.
Important? Hardly. If it is his brother's army at stake, our lord will do anything to aid him.
You are both fools.
What was that?
He has dispatched the three of us in order to expose the traitors to Reinsen's eyes.
Yes, those Ryera Necromancers.
Exactly. They've been manipulating this war for some time. They possess an ancient relic called Ushe. It is one of a set of seven called the Crystals of Ages.
And how do you know so much about this Ryomoku.
Unlike the two of you, I've been briefed.
So what exactly is your mission.
Do not concern yourself wth my mission. You have your own tasks to carry out.
Yes. It seems that way.
Fine. We'll paly your little game for now, Assassin.
Just remember this. Should you decide to double cross us, your head will be added to my collection.
~With that, the two brothers left Malkaia's side and took their place back in their ranks. Malkaia could only let out a small smirk as the battle drew nearer. As of now, Anier coudl be seen in the distance. It would not be long before it all came to pass, just as he has predicted.~
Azrielle, hang in there just a little longer. It is almost time.
