Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yuuske smiled and held her tightly. "That's good." He said as he kissed her.

Rune nodded. "Yeah, I think after being poisoned that badly I could use a nap or at least some berries." she added grinning as she shook out her arms making sure she had feeling back into them. Last thing she wanted was for her to suddenly fall over because she still had jellylegs.

Allure nodded in agreement as she glanced over to Rune and was a bit concerned. "Agreed. It does seem time to return. The walk wasx nice.....for a while..."

Lesser Knight: Meanwhile the knight had been reporting to the higher ranked that he had seen all as normal though felt an odd chill at one house. He said it was hardly worth worrying about but the head knight decided otherwise. He asked the lesser knight to return with a few more men this time. None of which were very strong. Yet this, once again, was just to verify what we knew and, also, what that odd presense from earlier was. The lesser knight obeyed orders and said it shouldn't be a problem since he mentioned he'd return there.

Head Knight: The head knight handed each of the lesser ones a sword and dagger. "You may need these in case something is actually going on in relation to that place. Be sure to return and give me a full and detailed report of what occures."

Lesser Knight and his men: "Yes, sir." They grabbed the weapons and headed to the house the lesser knight had mentioined.

Head Knight: He looked over his shoulder to a small man dressed in a gray cape. He looked very agile. His presence wasn't one easily detected by humans. "You heard all that, right? Just observe how things go. Be sure not to give yourself away."

The man in gray nodded once then followed the men slow paced as he planned to appear normal till he had to hide his presense at the location.

((Yea...Thy...more NCPs. XD))

Cobra rounded up the unconscious men left around them, there were 3 in total and tied them all up together against a tree trunk with a vine one of the trees supplied him. He figured that someone would find them and deal with them, and he didn't feel that it was his place to do anything with them. Also, this way, if the men spoke anything about them, he could claim they were delusional and that he had nothing to do with them. It would of course be easier just to kill them and bury them deep, but Cobra could never bring himself to do something like that. For all of his combat expertise and prowess, he could never bring himself to kill anyone...not anymore at least.

...walking over to where allure had dispatched her foe, Cobra placed his hand to the earth and closed his eyes. within a few seconds, the ground began to tremble, and a large chasm opened up beneath the area and swallowed the man's body, the earth gently closing back together after several seconds. He was now buried deep, no one would find him unless they were one such as Cobra. "We should get back to the house...let's go." , walking over to Rune, he lent himself to her disposal as a leaning post should she need it and began to walk back to the house.

Allure watched as Cobra buried the man and hadn't said a word. She meerly watched as her eyes were dark as ever. 'Am I no better than the demons that murdered my parents?...' She couldn't bear to look anymore. She rarely ever killed and never had in such a digusting manner as to cut a person in two.

"Indeed. Seems time we go." She said in response to Cobra then she walked with the others.

Allure automatically took a step back after witnessing the stranger's power. "Answering your question would be rather pointless now." She said without emotion. Her body grew tense as she glances over to the side and saw their earlier opponents turn to ash.

She meerly glared at him for a time but regained a neutral expression as sense returned to her. "Who are you if I may ask? An elemental user is easy enough to see." She took a better look at his actions and compared them to the Fire Demons of the Hindu Kush. 'He's far different than the Fire Demons I've battled....Seems to be more powerful as well...'

((In case anyone has not caught on yet, When the words are italic and Cyan color then those are her thoughts.))

Cobra was surprised as he turned around to see the man behind them, dressed in flames with a sinister look on his face. Had he not been holding Rune up partially, he would have rushed to save the men from this stranger's flames, but it was already too late, he had incinerated them, and all for what seemed like a sick pleasure. The thought quickly crossed his mind that this might be the man who had not shown himself earlier and was cleaning up the remaining help so that none of them could talk, but it didn't seem likely as they were attacked by an ice element attack and this man was so clearly attuned to fire.

...feeling a deep sense of loss as he watched the men be incinerated, Cobra's normally calm demeanor left him and he was filled with anger towards the senseless act. Probably turning a little too abruptly for Rune's good, Cobra shifted to face the man and show him his angered eyes..."How could you do that! Who do you think you are?!? ...those men were being manipulated, it was obvious. They were going to be found and punished by the authorities for their deeds, not be killed meaninglessly by your hands! Who were you to be their judge and executioner when you had no relation to them? What gives you the right?"
