Xavier's eyes burned with his growing anger. "You are trying my patience. Having someone or something for comfort is substancially better than the girl becoming immune to killing, which could also cause her to lose the part of her that contains kindness and caring towards others, or at least drastically reduce such emotions. Now you tell me, boy, would you really want to see an honest and curious little girl turn into someone such as yourself, a violent demon with little emotion?" Xavier asked in his smooth yet irritated voice as he gently pressed Sionet against him. "Even if your answer is yes, I would rather not let someone such as herself become diseased in the mind from doing such things."
---
Hope slowly sat down onto the ground, taking shakey breaths as she tried to calm herself. Her slender hands were still trembling but for the most part she had stopped crying.

Virgil snorted, and sneered at Xavier. "So I'm trying the patience of the dragon whelp. Stop the superior act, moron, and think about something. You even said it yourself. I am a demon. I lived in Hell for all of existence. Of course I am immune to violence. Yet I know one thing: she is not cut out to handle the violence that comes from war and death.
"And while I may be wrong, you forget that she is mentally linked to Hope. If Sionet learns violence, what happens to Hope? What happens to the innocent girl that both of us know? What happens if Sionet dies because she made a stupid mistake? I will not let something like that happen because you think that you are the best that the world has to offer.
"Now, you are the one trying my patience. I was created in a world where violence was the only thing that could be offered, and dragons were nothing more than fairy tales. Yet I know what they can and can't do, even one like you. If you think that I speak out of line, try to kill me. Be warned, though. I am hard to kill, and will find great pleasure in taking your blood in my hand." His eyes were fully glowing red, a bright pulsating red. Yet black could be seen invading the red.

Sionet was hearing all of this bickering around her, as well as the sub-conicsous feeling of hope attached and feeling her horror. Cutting off hope and New moon as well as any one around her. Her body starting to shake violently. With a massive surge of power she literally pushed Xavier away from her body, screaming "STOP IT... STOP IT NOW THE BOTH OF YOU!" her true power resounding in her voice. It wrapped around them all, and would make them want to stop the fighting.
"You know the demon boy is right Sionet princess. It is a true fact, and it is the only way. This is what I had to do other wise you'd be untried. Now get a hold of yourself." he spoke aloud for all of them. Bringing her hands up to her ears as if trying to block him she hit her knees. Softly muttering over and over. "I hate you, I hate you... your a bastards." A soft chuckle was heard from New Moon as he replied, "No you don't. Your just trying to project your horror to a cause. So I possessed you, to get you to fight in this battle. IT was under orders of the Elders any ways. And put your power away or you'll make all these people drooling idiots. Besides you should take them to were they can all wash off this gore you created. I think the Aramis hot springs are not to far from here?!" He spoke again this time harshly to her.

A snarl almost ripped itself from Xavier's throat, the anger burning brightly in his odd purple eyes. "Now you--" but he was cut off by the powerful shove, and his feet dragged into the ground as he held one of his arms up to steady himself as he slid backwards. Slowly he lowered his arm, feeling most of his urge to to rip and tear and crush calm. But not all of it; he still wanted to kill Virgil. His eyes turned to Sionet, and his lips curled back at the sound of New Moon's voice speaking to them all, which made Xavier's blood boil. "b*****d!" he seethed, his whole body tightening and his hands clenching into powerful fists while his body quivered making his jewelary jingle and clang against each other.
---
Hope felt all the horror and terror abruptly stop, making her gasp for breath. The tears finally stopped, but her slender hands were still trembling. She closed her eyes and reached up to wipe away her tears, giving a slight sniffle. "I-I'm s-sorry, I-I don't k-know exactly wh-what happened to m-me." she murmured quietly in a weak voice. "B-but maybe we sh-should go ch-check on th-the o-others." Hope murmured, wishing to see everyone all in one piece.

sionet heard the venom in Xavier's voice as well, but the tears were falling as she still kept her hands clasped to the side of her head. Trying to deny what she had just done. What was worse deep down inside her, she had enjoyed it to a sense. "NO I can never really wanna kill. I am a doctor Nervun. A D-O-C-T-O-R! I heal people.... this is so wrong." She said to her sword who was now in the ground point first next to her. That onced cracked stone in it's pommel full fixed and shining a mirad of colors.
"Well you know it is a must. While both of them have points, it is ultimately up to you. And I wont always be with you you know. And you can't rely on your natural innate abilities to always protect you. They can be sealed, then that leaves your training with weaponry. Or in a last ditch effort, you can always use Lilium... but that comes at a steep price Princess." New Moon said, hiding nothing from them all. Sionet finally got her tears under control as she mentally send to Hope.
"I am sorry bond sister. I am so sorry, like you I am not really cut out for war. but a healer.. Please forgive me for what was in flicked on you due to my stupidity." She said softly to hope. As she raised her tear stained and streaked face up. She looked at them all, landing last on shade, then XAvier then Virgil. "I hate this feeling, it is so wrong.. taking another's life. WE are not gods, but you as a demon like you said live in hell so you really don't have and feelings at all for this massive slaughter. But I also know like New Moon stated, that I will have to do this many more times in the future. But for the most part, can we go to the Aramis springs to rinse this gore off me.. IT is a hot springs on this island near here." She said to them all. Making her voice loud enough for hope and Fayt to hear as well.

Virgil let out a chuckle, a humorless one that showed how Virgil really felt about things. "Believe me, Sionet. You will never grow used to this unless you are constantly forced to kill. Fighting for your life, day in and day out.
"And as long as you think of Hope before all else, it should be enough to keep your sanity. She is just as much a part of you, now, as your heart is. What you do to yourself will inflict itself on her.I would hate to see either of you guys die when I could have protected you.
"And another thing. Demons have feelings, but they tend to take second base to survival. It would crush me to have Hope die." His eyes were back to just the red, but they slowly lost that color, and returned to the blue-gray.
"Uggh. What hit me? And well in Hell am I?"

Xavier turned his head to the side, glaring viciously into the distance as his anger and hate continued to burn within him. Slowly he was starting to calm down, at least a little, but he was rigid and still and his body still shuddered every now and then. His lips were pressed into a tight line at his frustration and rage, and he had the violent urge to kill New Moon, if he could.
---
Hope's feathery wings shifted a bit as she turned her head to look at the others, but her face paled to the point it looked yellow at the sight of all the blood, guts and bodies so she had to face forward again. It's alright..but is everyone okay? I can't myself to look long enough to make sure, all the blood... her mind hesitantly responed in the normal soft tone she had, and Sionet could feel obvious worry coating her innocent shyness. Hope looked up at Fayt with her wide, pretty eyes and pale face as if asking what to do.

Sionet looked at them all, still stressed and anxious. Letting out a sigh of relief as hope replied. "They are all right, no one was hurt at all from what I can see. But it is a good thing you missed virgils little trick a second ago." She mentally whispered to Hope.
"well I wont deny anything on to you virgil, and Welcome back to the living....*damn forgot his other name sorry* Well we are here...." she said aloud waving her hand for him to see the bloody battle field. Getting up she pulled the now silent New moon from the ground sheathing him proper after wiping him on the grass. Stepping lightly but extremely wobbly over to hope she placed her arm around the girl.
Not realizing until too late that she was now covering Hope in blood that was all over her. "Bond sister, I am truly sorry for this. I would never mean you harm. And Xavier you can't kill what isn't living to begin with. Now please if you'll come here for a second." She spoke in her soft gentle voice. All traces of it's power gone. IT was back to normal as her brown eyes darkened with her feelings at what had just happened. But one thing she was thankful for. No one caught on to her true nature and power.

gate_keeper1 Xecos felt power coarse through him. He silently thanked those people, even if they didn't mean to. He gauged his current power to that of his previous persona. "Seems like level five now." Xecos grinned. (Is the battle in Sargan still happening?) ((No, that battle is over. It shouldn't be too long until the next one though.))

Location: Gatha
Shade rises from the ground, having been knocked into the shadow plane during the end of the battle. "Okay, can someone tell me what just happened?"
((Sorry, I fell behind on this part of the story. For that matter, I'm sorry I fell behind in general. Lot's of things I had to do.))

Shade264 Location: Gatha Shade rises from the ground, having been knocked into the shadow plane during the end of the battle. "Okay, can someone tell me what just happened?" ((Sorry, I fell behind on this part of the story. For that matter, I'm sorry I fell behind in general. Lot's of things I had to do.)) As shade reappeared Sionet reached with a hand to a hidden sheath on her back. Grabbing it and with out looking tossed it to Shade expertly. "Well apearently I finished the battle, while being possessed. And caused Hope some problems. Mean while Xavier and Virgil were fighting like children. But have stopped for the moment. And as to that dagger I was told to give it to you. It is yours till the child is born. It is....was Dark's brothers. I guess you should have an idea of it's use." She said standing now up and away from Hope.
Stepping to the side raising her hand to waist length a small blue beam shot from it and across the field that had seen a bloody massacre only minutes before. It sliced through the thick fog wall revealing a small steamy pond/lake at it's end. "Hope I didn't mean to cover you in blood. Like I said let's all go bathe in the Aramis Hot springs, other wise we will reek when we get to Sargan. And don't worry I can take us to the village in an instant. Just need everyone close to each other." She said as she took hopes hand to help her up and started to walk through the fog tunnel.

Dawn Dusk bounced a little on the bed when Osiris landed on it. Shaking her head deciding to continue with or without Drakes consent. "I have two missions here actually. One to help you when I can. My other mission is to capture a small little song bird for her majesty. The song bird goes by the name of Sionet Bellgrenda, she is 18 as of today, about 5 foot to 5 foot 1 inches. Her hair is waist length with brown eyes. The reason her majesty Twilight wants her is because she was born with several of the Siren clan gifts." She said jumping up off the bed pacing as she thinks about how to put the next part.
Brows furrowed as she was in very serious mood. "She is also the reason you never knew about me there Osiris. I spent the last 8 years of my life trying not to be caught in side the Haven clans area. Sionet is the true princess of all 4 siren clans. The two that our mistress now hold as her own are on Anara and Sargan. She can't get access to the haven or the one of Gatha right now. * small choker with tigers eye stone at it's center magically appears in her hand* This little trinket will do a couple of things. One to control or make her malliable. Two magnify her innate elemental abilities as well as her voice. Three turn her into a very powerful tool. And I think you'd do well to use that tool if her majesty agrees. Also she has a strong will, is stubborn, likes to read, and can fight almost as good as you with close range weapons. *Evil smile And she is single." she finished as if she were reporting to Twilight.
Stopping her pacing she looked over at Osiris then too Drake for commentary. Waiting patiently for either to speak up, one with questions/comments and the other for berating her for stepping over her bounds.

Osiris chuckled. "A double mission, hmm? Well, maybe we can help each other. If I'm just here to gather info on the defenses and whatnot, our missions can overlap."
He sat back up. "Great job remaining hidden for so long, by the way. I honestly had no idea you existed, and my intel reaches deep. But as for my fighting ability..." He shook his head. "I doubt she's as good as you say. And even if she is, she's no match for me. You still haven't seen me fight to the best of my ability."
He stabbed a thumb at his chest. "I think that we can catch this little birdy for the Mistress. Let's do it." Osiris looked to Drake for approval.

Hope felt Sionet's arm around her and started to relax when she realized that she was now covered in blood. Her eyes were opened as wide as they could go, and she felt dizzy as her stomach turned. Hope found herself unable to answer at the moment, her throat had tightened too much for any real sound to come out. Soon enough Sionet was pulling her along through a foggy tunnel, and Hope was wobbly on her feet with shaky hands. Once again she had become deathly pale.
Xavier silently followed after Sionet, staring with a dead look at Hope as he watched her reaction; he was in a very foul mood at the moment. He took little interest in anything and ignored everyone, except for the face he made when Sionet mentioned the arguement between him and Virgil. He followed Sionet and Hope, his long gore-covered hair trailing behind as his bloody jewelary jingled from his angry yet graceful walking.

Ted just followed along, sorta in a daze. He was talking to Virgil, and only paying the minimum amount of attention so he could follow everyone else. So. I was out cold for a while? What happened to cause it? And what happened during it? It is disquieting to have blood all over the place when you wake up.
So with that, Virgil gave an account of all that had happened since his little venture into Hope's link, and ending with the battle. Every so often, stuff like "stupid Dragon whelp," or "pretty crazy ladies who feel the need to try to annihilate others" would come through the midst to Ted. So, with that knowledge, he went on with what he was currently doing: acting confused.
