((Alright then here is a very brief summary, the battle for Baledon Sukiyo is drawing to a close but the battle between Larovia and the Trenians has only begun. Issildia is finally facing off against Reinsen and Sin's confrontation with his opponents has abruptly ended. Not to much more to it than that but things should be heating up again rather soon lol.))

Kegawa stood at the edge of the forest gazing down at the carange of the raging battle before him and the others. His brothers stood close by as they too gazed into the chaos. Disgusted slightly by the effects the battle was having on the earth he turned his head slightly, peering over his shoulder at Seishin.
"..Find Issilda and Sin."
Seishin nodded without reply as he palms came together in fornt of him, his fingers intertwined with each other in a specific seal. As his eyes closed, he immidiately felt the Kojin's finger tips presuring at his mind's back. Purple aura leaked from under Seishin's eyelids and from his body and intot he air from hisbody like steam. After only moments of his concentration he lowered his arms, eperating them to their sides as he opened his eyes.
"Issilda is not from here... And Sin is heading her way as well."
"Ok.. then we go to aid them.."
"Well ctually... Do you mind if Ketsueki and I involve ourselves with the battle down there?"
"Do what you want... But stay alive."
Kegawa smirked after his statement then watched as Kotsuzui and Ketsueki took off down from the forest and into the battle below.Kegawa gazed over his shoulder at Seishin.
"Lets go."
He took one last look at the chaos then took off with his blind brother into the shadows of the forest.
--
"Keep up little brother."
Ketsueki smirked at his Kotsusui's request. His second set of wings opened suddenly, stretching to their full wingspan as the thin feathers of bone suddenly because alive with flame. His first pair of wings opened as well as he took off into the sky. His form soon became engulfed by the flames that he carried as he soared through the sky.
"Show off.."
Kotsuzui laughed manicly as he made his own way into battle, a psychotic expression creeping across his face. As a Yakayu, he was driven souly for the thirst and hunger for blood. Whether that blood came from enemies or Allies did not matter to him. In battle, he was a berserker, bringing death swiftly to anything that crossed his path.
--
Kegawa skidded to a stop as the sounds of Sword's clanging together came to his ears. Only several meters away he walked the rest of the distance towards where the sounds originated knowing already, who they were from. Seishin followed soundlessly as well as blindly, though showing no evidence at all of his handicap.

The dragon that soared through the sky suddenly faded into nothing ness, as Azure's approach slowed. He came to a halt, just north of the Larovian encampment. He could feel his brothers' presence approaching, with Nahota moving to the Southeast, and Kuroha to the Southwest. His descent was swift, and his landing silent. His body was still burning with black flames as he clasped his hands together. It seemed he was enchanting a spell, and for him to go to such great lengths to isolate himself from the battle..the spell must've been indeed powerful. In their prospective positions, Kuroha and Nahota had begun a similar incantation, and before their positions could be detected, the entirety of the Larovian encampment became surrounded and covered with a barrier if darkness. The barrier itself resembled a pyramid, of sorts, and it was powerful enough to allow none to enter, and none to escape.
((Here's a hint for all parties involved. If you are anywhere near the Northern Forest, where the Larovian encampment is, you would most likely be caught in this pyramid. If you look at the map, on page 1. The area is centered around the Tomb of the Acolytes. If you are in that area, You ARE NOW STUCK THERE for a brief period of time.))

A searing hiss could be heard within the immediate area as shadows once bound to their unmoving posts leapt out towards Reinsen's opponent as he threw Issildia's blade back with his own. The force of the blow sent Issildia sliding back and open to the twisting cloak of shadow flesh that Reinsen had summoned. Though as it neared Issildia's position, Issildia's blade took on a pale sapphire colored glow. Without hesitation she leap forward, bringing her blade upwards into the amassment of shadow, rending it in half with a bitter hiss of the enchantment she had cast on her weapon, consuming Reinsen's attack. As her blade returned to it's normal color Issildia made only the slightest pause in her stride before she advanced at a blinding pace upon her opponent. Bringing her sword up from a downward sweep; a faint line of dark fire following in the blade's wake, before she was once again halted in her advance by Reinsen's own blade.
"Tell me, Has it always been in your heart to avenge your mother's accursed people...or have you simple wished to be put out of your misery?" Reinsen questioned harshly before he retaliated with a great sweep of his blade, throwing Issildia back into the air.
Landing in a kneeled position Issildia quickly came to her feet. Reinsen continued, "Do not think that I can not see through you daughter...manipulating your comrades to grant you a pitiful chance to face me...even when you already know what the outcome of this duel is to be..."
"You know nothing!" she countered with rage before she brought her left hand forward, three kunai knives glowing white hot within the energy she had locked in them. Without waiting for a reaction from her opponent Issildia darted forward, loosing the trio of kunai at her father while coming in for a low attack with her blade.
As the kunai made contact there was a blinding flare of light and flame, yet as the light faded it became apparent that Reinsen was no longer standing where the kunai had struck.
Reversing her stride Issildia turned not a moment to soon to catch Reinsen's blade with her own as he struck from behind.
From that point the two combatants became locked in a duel of complex swordplay. Their movements growing in speed as the battle ascended towards it's climax. Though during this, Issildia feared that her father was merely toying with her until he decided to end the conflict.

Ketsueki's face was twisted into a maniacal grin as a fresh new layer of blood splashed across his face. The blood soon disappeared into his skin as he continued to slash around the battlefield. He lunged forward bring his arm before him as a spear of hardened blood formed at Ketsueki's elbow. He drove the spike through several men, impaling them together, regardless of which side of the battle they were on. The men were soon drained of their blood as it accumulated into the spear, causing its mass to grow. The end of the large attachment of blood soon split in half like a pair of scissors svered their bloodless bodies in two.
With a sudden turn to his backside, Ketsueki's opposite hand, which was shaped into a solid axe came down upon the soldier's head splitting his helmet as well as his skull. The axe and his arm turned to liquid as the shape of his hand and fingers returned though retaining it sliquid form. He pulled in his long arm, still clutching the man by his split skull. When his hand and the body reached him, Ketsueki grabbed the mans skull with his opposite hand and continue dto pull at it, splitting it apart as brains and blood splattered across his face and into the air
Ketsueki's loud psychotic laughter soon echoed through the field as he once more began slashing down anyone before him.
---
Kegawa stepped from the shadows of the forest into the small clearing. His glare fell upon Issilda and Reinsin, battling in its center.
A purple glow eminated from behind Kegawa. Several feet behind him sat Seishin, in meditation. Again, he was surrounded by a defensive dome of his aura as Kojin, in astral formed, pulled free from his Host's body. His body was made entirely of Seishin's Purple Aura. Kojin storde forward soon standing at Kegawa's side.
Kegawa gave Kojin a sideways glance, nodding his head before returning his gaze to the battle before him.
"Issilda! Open your mind to Kojin's touch."
With that statement, Kojin suddenly went forward disregarding the battle completely. He came up behind Issilda, he paused as if waiting for her acknowledgement before he would enter her and mind.

Before Issildia could offer a response, Reinsen slipped in through her guard...instantly she was thrown back to make impact with the tree behind her. As she momentarily fell to her knees at the base of the tree, a sudden unbearable pain shot through her left shoulder; blood now ran down her skewered upper arm...where Reinsen's sword had impaled her shoulder. The length of the blade slipping through muscle and bone then passing into the tree trunk just behind her. Pinned, and unable to move for the blade that held her in place Issildia looked only briefly at Kegawa in consent to whatever could be done to even the playing field.
"You miserable excuse for my kin..." Reinsen seethed as he twisted the blade roughly causing an half subdued scream to escape Issildia's lips. Blood continued to trail down from her shoulder and the sword that kept her pinned down.
"Never have you failed in dishonoring the Nevar...I should have expected this to be no different daughter. You could not save Anier...nor could you stop the destruction of Faltora...and you haven't the slightest chance in stopping me." he uttered with a smirk as Issildia's unharmed right hand took hold of the blade that skewered her shoulder and feebly attempted to remove it but to no avail. "This will not be the end of me father..." she uttered darkly between weakening breaths. "Even when I am gone, there will always be those that will challenge you…those that will haunt your footsteps in hopes of finishing my work...it will never be over for you...never will you find peace..." she said, her last phrase carrying a bit more strength as she looked up at Reinsen, knowing well that the next few moments could be her last.

Kegawa had no time react as everything suddenly past by his eyes so quickly. His eyes flickered with anger and shock.
"Kojin! Do it now!"
The purple form looked to him and without hesitation leapt from his current position and shooting through Reinsen's solid form and into Issilda's. He gave no hesitation knowing now that he had little time. Kojin prodded at the edges of Issilda's mind searching her defense for a weakness so that he may be let in as his calm voice echoed through her head.
Open your mind to me child I will numb your pain.
Kegawa's tattoos erupted in light as he sent his fist intot he ground. A large jagged rocks rose suddenly from the earth in a line, heading for Reinsen. Whether it touched him didn't matter. It was mostly to seperate him from Issilda.
"Come now, Reinsen, I am your new opponent!"
He ripped the twig that hung from his throat. As he twirled it through his fingers his own aura, which became visible in his palms soon lit up the symbols on the twig as it became larger transforming into a bowstaff.
Seishin's body soonly emit a large beam of his aura into the air lighting the sky as the purple beam twisted and hissed with life calling for his brothers.
---
Ketsueki's maniacal laughter continued to echo through the battlefield as he brought a quick death to any soldier that found him. Just as his victim's body exploded into pieaces from the large mace that was his arm ripped through it, the sky suddenly lit up with light. Ketsueki glared at the beam of light that reached for the heavens cursing under his breath. Overhead, Kotsuizi suddenly came into his vision as he made his way through the air towards the the beam. Ketsueki cursed ludlywith anger as he sent his large bladed hand through another soldier.
Suddenly he was covered in blood as it erupted from his pours and his unhealed wounds that covered his body. The large form of liquid took shape as it hardened, though still very much liquid. A large serpent of blood slithered through the battlefield taking the lives of anyone that stood in its way, Ketsueki deep within the abnormally large serpent.
((bleh its crap and i can see typoes and msitakes but i'm to tired right now.. :/ sweatdrop ))

Sin had managed his appearance just as Issildia had been stabbed in the shoulder by Reinsen. Under normal circumstances he would have charged the Nevar and thrown at him the full fury of his powers for injuring his friend. But his strenght was at an all time low and his body was battered in more ways then he would care to think about.
As he saw the rock formation separate Issildia and Reinsen he rushed forwards, skimming along the edge of the tree line, over to Issildia and quickly moved in to support her.
"Issildia... I leave you alone for a little bit and I come back to find you being skewered by swords and rushing confrontations with your father... what am I going to do with you...."

Reinsen's grip was suddenly torn from his blade as the line of stone came upon his position; throwing him back and momentarily barring his path to his daughter. "Pathetic child." Reinsen said lowly as he easily maneuvered back to recover from the attack. "You are all nothing more than mere hindrances..." he challenged as he drew his secondary weapon; a katana that hung loosely from his belt.
Though at the sound of his second blade being drawn another similar sound joined the first, along with the dull clatter of a sword falling to the ground. Issildia came to her feet slowly, blood now running from the deep cut etched into the palm of her right hand, a wound granted from her now successful effort to remove her father's sword from her shoulder. Though at the present moment, the pain from the wounds she had sustained had faded. Whether the efforts of Kegawa's companions were a gift or curse; Issildia no longer cared or even felt the wounds she would be subject to in the coming moments. Living past this confrontation mattered little to her, all that mattered was that Reinsen was repaid for all he had wrought.
"All this time that I have sought to end you Father..." Issildia said as she slowly moved forward, her shoulder continuing to bleed profusely. "Never had I envisioned it to end this way...With wills of so many set against you...yet I suppose this is how it should be." she uttered lowly as she bent down only momentarily to retrieve his blade from the ground. "For I am not the only one that you have harmed...not the only one that you have taken from...Your defeat should be the affair of many...not that of only a few." she said as she finally came to a halt, her own blade and her father's settling into an offensive stance. "So...it would seem that all is as it should be." Issildia said while her gaze never faltered in meeting that of her opponent.
"We shall see child." he countered as he raised his free hand; tendrils of shadow trailing behind his fingertips before suddenly shooting outwards like razor edged vines, set to capture and end his opponents.

Leaping back into the tree line Sin mutterd a curse and began to move about in the trees, letting the tenrils of shadows hit them and not him.
'Man, I'm out of power, too wounded for melee, and I couldn't even take care of Issildia's wound....
As he moved to a side of the forest that had him looking at the battle unfolding he slowly caught his breath. His right arm was still burned and his left ached from the jar when he went flying from the explosion. His eye was partially blind and the only thing he could still use effectively was his legs. And fighting agnest Reinsen with only his feet didn't quite appeal to him

Kgawa's form was consumed into the Earth escaping the tendrils that sought him. He left Seishin to himself though knowing his barrier would keep him safe.
He reappeared a branch above Sin, quirking a brow with a grin across his face.
"You fool, you should've taken my gift. Its still available if you wish. It'll make the pain in your arms hfeel non-existant."
He gesturer to Sin's forearms with the end of his bowstaff. Kegawa, being of the earth had sensed his pain which reeked through the forest.
--
A shower of several hundred flaming bone needles fell from the sky as they made their way for Reinsin, hoping to distract him form his attack.
Kotsuizi set down behind Seishin, his second pair of wings completely empty except for the frame of the wing. He qinced momentarily as new feathers of bone began to blossom from the frames creating newe imitation feathers.
--
Ketsueki's spear of blood shot from the forest whether or not Kotsuizi's distraction had worked. As it neared it's target the tip widened becoming flat as if a horizontal gillotine as it sought to decapittate Reinsin.
--
Kojin grasped at Issilda's mind. He was unable yo stop her bleeding but a least had been able to numb what pain it had caused. His pressure on his mind increased gently applying more heightened senses and abilities, increasing her power several times greater than it had been.

"Nah I've just been going from one beat fest to another.... all I need now is simply time... but of course, Issildia, being the rash girl that she is decided to go right ahead and try to kill off Reinsen...."
Sighing Sin leaned against the tree as he watched the battle. His arm ached and his eye was sore as well but for the most part the pain had already dulled quite a bit.
"I'd be pissed about sitting this fight out if I hadn't already blown off part of that massive castle..."

The attacks that hurtled towards Reinsen suddenly became alit with a dark blue tinged fire that added to the damage wrought by the attacks, obviously a product of Issildia's own efforts. The now fiery needles of bone unleashed by Kotsuizi impacted with the area that Reinsen stood upon, throwing up sparks of energy and ash, as the blood spear summoned by Ketsueki raced into the fray to attempt to end the Nevar.
With a great flare of fire, and hiss of electricity it seemed that Reinsen had finally met his end, yet as the dust finally cleared it became apparent that Reinsen was not there. But soon enough the larovian emperor's form became visible off to the right near Sin's form.
"I wonder how your people will fair now that you have set your will against me Sin..." Reinsen said darkly, though the heaviness of his tone could not be missed as blood could actually be seen where the combined attack had damaged his left arm. His hand was bleeding and severely burned, but it could already be seen that the flesh was already repairing itself. Even wounded, a satisfied expression crossed his face as he looked down at the monkoto. "They will be granted no mercy in the face of your disobedience."
"What are you talking about.....?" Issildia said lowly as she ceased in her movements, the efforts of Kojin not going unnoticed as she now easily monitored her father's movements.
"You would murder his people as well?" she said tightly as she prepared to launch herself forward.
"Ignorance in it's purest form daughter...you never do disappoint with your naivety." Reinsen uttered with a dry laugh.
"It would have been so much simpler if you had simply done as you were told child." Reinsen said to Sin as he turned his gaze back to the others. "So much could have been avoided..." he concluded.
