Welcome to Gaia! ::

Zack felt her shiver in their combined hands, so he pulled her closer to him and wrapped his arm around her, he held her close. "You were cold, feeling better?" he asked, hoping he was making her feel better instead of awkward. "Would it help if I warmed us up?" he asked, he didn't have the power of fire, but he knew other ways to heat up a situation. He hoped she didn't assume more than he was suggesting, he was thinking about picking her up, holding her close in a baby cradle-like hold, kissing her dearly, and then pulling her in close as he walked closer to the group, however, what he said could have other interpretations.

Erik laughed. "If you knew exactly what you were up against, then you would know that having an element alone is nothing. This isn't about the hunters anymore. This is about someone who probably has mastered every element out there, the lone exception being light." Erik then proceeded to give Zack and Lelia a brief summary of Saint Dane and his abilities. "Now do you think you could 'easily defend yourselves'? There is no chance. If he killed me using only his sword, imagine what he could do if he used magic. Anyway, we should get going. The more time we spend in one spot, the more chance of him or one of his Hellspawn finding us."

James continued to walk the direction he'd been walking, noticing everyone followed, he felt pretty good. He could tell Zack and Leila were definately a couple now, and he, of course, would congragulate Zack later, but they needed to move right now. Ecspecially with the warning of 'Saint Dane'.

Zack happily held Leila's hand and followed the group. They were in the order of, James, Erik, Atrum, himself and Leila, and Raine followed right behind them. It was definately the biggest group he'd ever been in. "Yeah, I think we could," he reassured Atrum. He was pretty sure that the group after practicing a bit more with each other could definately do it. They just had to learn how to use their powers in combination.

((sorry if anyone doesn't like the order, it just seems like the order we'd be in at the moment.))

"There's no need to worry about Saint Dane. He'll go after me first. Now that he knows that I'm around, I'm first on his hit list, you guys are a distant second. I'm the only one who ever fought him, and I came so damm close to beating him." Erik wondered if the elementals would be willing to listen to him if they ran into any trouble. They seemed undisciplined, untrained, and disorganized. You have to command those who are willing to listen, and these guys would be my last choice... Atrum respected him, certainly, but as for the others, he didn't know. "Listen, as long as you guys do what I say, the Hellspawn will be easier then attacking a log."

((Thank you for casting me as team leader. If James if difficult to win over, Saint Dane will change that with the trap he's laid. You know, the one where 200 Hellspawn plus Valencia are waiting for them? Yeah, that one.))

Erik knew that James didn't think he could be leader. Oh well. So the time controller didn't like him. As long as James didn't attack him, he didn't care if he liked him or not.

Leila grimaced a little while listening to Erik. He definitely wasn't her favorite person in the world, but he wasn't necessarily a bad leader. He pushed them to make sure the elementals were at their peak potential, and also was very intelligent. What she didn't like was that he sometimes came across as arrogant, and treated the elementals like they were little kids.
Though that was it, the rest mainly had to do with Leila's ability to be "untrainable". Multiple times in her past her martial arts instructors had complained about her being too stubborn to take orders. But just like those times before, it was something Leila would have to work at again and again. So she continued walking, having never let go of Zack's warm hand.

((Nice catch up post, yes we're moving, and yes love's stirring in the air. Zack and Leila have already caught the love bug, but I wanted to see if you two(Atrum and Rayne) were gonna hook up.))

Zack held Leila close as he wrapped his arm around her waist, he wanted to hold her really close. He then noticed the town, not too far away, it looked like it had been demolished. All the buildings were either burning or had already crashed into a pile of dust and debris. He gasped at the thought of the innocemt people that had been killed, all the children and women, dieing uneeded deaths. Fury blazed in his eyes. He was going to hurt who'd ever done all this mindless destruction.

James looked at the desimated town. He growled at his own inability to reverse time in large areas and the lateness at which they arrived. He could probably bring 5 buildings back to life, but a whole town, that was a bit out his league right now. He then noticed some of the debrisv move, as if somethimng was hiding beneath it. He bent low and silenced his growl. He placed his hands upon his two blades, ready to draw them at the slightest hint of the movement being an enemies movement. James was ready for a small fight, he figured they already beaten one half-demon, how hard could a full demon be?
