Welcome to Gaia! ::

OOOC; Whoops, coulda sworn I'd posted already....I blame the reunion guild ninja Aaaanywho...back to the Rp

The biting cold ripped into Firalina's side evealing more than nyone wanted to see of the Beast's internal organs, and her roar of pain was painful, shattering the eardrums of her opponants with it's severe volume. While Auron's reagan restored their hearing a few moments later, there was still a muddled sensation to their heads, and blood ran stickly out of their ears. Firalina herself was reeling from the latst ttack but was recuperating at a slower pace than they. Te ice blast had been the most damaging of any prior ones by far.

Andrea winced and covered her ears, losing her sense of balance with her inner ears ruptured. While she regained them a moment later, she still felt shaken and realzed that Auron's healing spell had run its course. She'd have to be even more careful from here on out.

OOC: Reagan only lasts a few times if memory serves me right. And while Andrea's has run out because she's been attacked too many times, Violet still can recover from one more. The spell has to wear out completely before it can be recast. Of course I could be mistaken, and I'm not sure if that was exactly how it worked in FFX, but that was how it went in FF7, you could fully heal from two attacks, but after the next you needed to cast the spell again.

((I think you're remembering wrong, in FF7 regen constantly refilled your hit points but simply didn't last that long, and recasting it before it was over renewed it, the more damage you take simply meant that it had to heal more, and if you took enough you could still be KO'd if the regen couldn't keep up with it. In FF10 it worked a little differently, basically after a certain ammount of battle time had passed each person effected was healed a certain ammount. So if a person is hurt they will slowly heal, and if they aren't hurt they will simply stay healed, until the spell runs off. And since Auron just renewed it on everyone but himself, his is the only one that is about to wear out, and Andrea might be still hurting since she's been taking more damage than anyone else.))

Pressing his advantage, since he was the only one unphased by Firi's ear splitting roar Raziel landed and stretched one hand towards the beast. His blazing sword rippled as his telekinetic blast raced down the length and flew off in a ball of ice and bone chilling cold to impact against the creature's body only a few yards away. Then he brought his hands together again, and dashed forwards swinging underhanded in a powerful stroke which could send the hyenoid flying if he hit solidly.

Raziel seemed to be doing a good job in his fury, though Auron wondered if his rage might not be the best thing to use against the 'beast of fury' herself. Though his frigid attacks seemed to be having good effect. Auron kept his distance hoping Firlina would not try to take advantage of his weakening defensive enchantments as he began casting an offensive spell, following Raziel's example. He was intterrupted by the beast of fire's roar clasping his hands over his ears then shaking his head to clear it. his regen had enough time left to heal that wound but he had another thought and began channeling another spell which could prevent such an attack from working again... 'Silence!'

Somewhere in Drakotopia castle a pair of dark eyes opened in the shadows, their sight saw things which others didn't and through the many layers of stone walls he perceived the approach of one person he'd been searching for, for a long time, and another who seemed strangely familiar, and would definately be worth investigating further. With some twisted words in a language alien even to a planet who's people were enchanted to understand all languages, he mainpulated the strands of fate so the two would soon arrive whether it was their intention or not, and they would find that they would be unable to leave without a fierce show of willpower, before he was ready. As an extra precaution he errected a one way force field capable of withstanding the destruction of the planet itself so no one could leave the area. It was the most blatant thing he'd done in a long time, but he felt the stakes were worth it in this case, he would leave the rest to others...

((REUNION!! REUNION!!! It stole my SOUL!!!! crying crying ....it was/is alot of fun tho, and they REALLY needed another good RPer to get things going. wink ))

Meanwhile Erevek was absorbed in his own problems, blasting his brother with small but distracting Ki blasts, swiping at the Chimera with whatever limb was closest, and all in all baiting the enraged and mindless beast. So intent was he that he never even noticed they were approaching the castle, in fact it did not even occure to him to worry when he flew through one of the buildings great stone windows flitting through the dragon-high hallways with uncanny speed, his brother one step behind. He halted when he entered a great open throne room. He sucked in breath through his teeth, he remembered this room... His pause was breif as it was no time at all before his brother tailed him into the enormous and nearly empty hall. With a snarl Vek bolted foreward towards a great stone monument he didn't remember having been here before. It had some sort of inscription on a panel which gaced the thrones. But Vek barely even glanced at it, his focus was all on the sword which was embedded in it's surface. With one easy motion he grabbed the blade and slid it from it's stoney sheath. Turning to face his brother with a snarl. "You are really starting to annoy me you Buggar!" He shouted as he dove towards the mindless monster.

OOC: Umm, Skyangel...you DO know that Violet is frozen in place right now don't you? Did you happen to read the pretty blue post by the equally 'pretty' Illusor_Meaneld. *cough*fop*cough*

Firalina was inches from sinking teeth into the vampire's shoulder. Yet she remained inches, that never seemed to lessen. She began to realize about then that nothing else was moving of her body either, except necessary vital functions. Firalina tried a few practice snaps at the back of Raziel's head (or rather the side of his face as he had been turning to meet her attack in typical blazing fast Vampire speed) Before resigning herself to this, but of course, temprorary fate. Then her amber eyes fell upon the healer and her rage instantly disappated. "Well well well, perhaps I should have left the other to his demise..."After all this one seems rather intriguing..."This is rather intriguing, it is not often I meet a mortal powerful enough to cast a spell with some hold over me. I'm really rather impressed..." Firalina purred conversationally, after shifting her form and thus negating Auron's silence spell.

"HEY!" Andrea protested. "What do you mean, not often meet a mere mortal powerful enough to compare to you? We were kicking the tar outta your furry butt!" The Kaijin girl's anger redoubled as Firalina merely laughed at her complaints.

"Perhaps you should cast that intriguing silencing spell over your noisy comrade." Firalina suggests to Auron.

Illusor smiled with amiable tolerance at all of the comments which flew back and forth. He turned to smile at Violet, and then looked surprised and remorseful as he realized the uncomfortable predicament she was in. Walking gracefully over to stand before her he put one gentle hand on her shoulder, and as he helped her stand she found she could move to a small extent, though her movements felt stiff. The healer then assisted her until she sat comfortably upon a tree root. However once his hand left her shoulder she found herself just as frozen as before, but in a much better and more comfortable vantage point from whence to view the proceedings. "If you please ladies," Illusor began in an almost magically soothing tone, "I would be in your debt if you would be so kind as to explain the situation which began this momentous conflict..." He smiled at all present before turning to Violet, "However I think I would ask for you to begin this story," Then he glanced warningly at the others, "And if you would be considerate enough not to interupt I will permit you to retain your capacities to speak."

Raziel growled deep in his throat, after trying everything he could think of to break free of Illusor's spell. Finally as a last resort, he dissappeared completely, vanishing into the spectral realm to search out a returning point to come back. Though he had no idea how long that would take. It was still better than sitting here frozen like that.

Auron tried to relax as much as possible even though he was frozen in an uncomfortable position. He trusted that the white mage would not leave him like this forever. His expreinces with white mages like him had given him a little bit of confidence of the type of people they were.

Illusor listened carefully, nodding slowly as Violet spoke and encouraging her gently when she halted or faltered. "thank you very much." He said when she drew her story to a close. "That definetally helps," then he turned and considered the other frozen people, noting Raziel's disapearance with a sympathetic and pitying smile. He wandered towards Auron, taking note of the position the warrior still held, and with one hand he helped ease the warrior into a straight standing position, and repositioned his outstretched arm so that it hung at his side with the tip of his sword resting against the ground. that done, he glanced at Andrea and Feralina, and noting the beast's discomfort muttered something under his breath. Next thing the beast of Fury knew the later half of her tail had regained it's momentum. The healer then turned back to Auron, "If you would be so kind Sir, would you relate your own version of the story for me?" He asked with an encouraging smile,
