"I just know their style. I was only fighting grunts." In truth, Erik did have legendary power, but he wanted to keep Sara in the dark about it. "You see, Hellspawn are able to create others of their foul species only through combat. They kill you, tear your soul from your body, and then you have to work for Krious...that was why the Fire Nation tried to off me. Because they were working for Krious.

Varnis was now fully conscious, and able to stand up. He felt as if he was fully rested except for the pain in his chest from the burn. Leaning against the building, he held his chest as the pain slowly faded. What is going on... Varnis wondered as he closed his eyes. Who was he... And why does he claim to be my father... He looked at the bell tower and saw a black figure standing at the top of it. It seemed as if, what ever it was, was watching him. A chill went up his back, as he looked back at Azeal then saw Markis running towards him.
Reaching Azeal, Markis looked at him. "What happened here?" He then looked at Varnis who now looked fine. Turning back to Azeal, Markis waited for the response.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Samurai stirred slightly as he started to wake. Immediately, he sensed something was wrong. He couldn't feel his armor, and his swords where not attached to his waist. Looking off to the side of him, his swords laid on a table next to a mannequin that held his armor. Sliding off the table as quickly as he was able to, he ran to the table and grabbed the first sword he was able to. By now, two of the guards had noticed him, and ran after him. The other two just watched.
Drawing the sword in a slashing motion at the first guard, who was able to simply dodge it, he summoned a fire ball and tossed it at the second guard. With out his armor, his magic was weaker than normal, and used more energy than normally needed. The guard who he had slashed at had taken the hilt of his sword, and tried to bash him in the face. He tried to dodge by leaning back, but was unable to due to the guard he had hit with a fire ball had summoned a wall of stone behind him. Getting bashed in the face, causing a bloody nose, the Samurai dropped to the ground and kicked out the legs of the guard that was on him. Slashing downward at the guard, an shield of stone had appeared in front of him preventing the blade from even reaching the guard. He was skilled, but the two guards where just more skilled than he was. He would be no match for them...
"ENOUGH!" Alcorve had come back into the room, and all three stopped their fighting. "We wish you no harm. We are not your enemy." Alcorve walked over to the man and looked at him. "You are skilled but... you have a lot to learn." He shook his head, and walked away to a desk that had a map of the city and areas surrounding it on it. "I would take my time to get to know you but the scouts have spotted three war ships heading this way. We need to prepare for battle soon."

Halo sat at the top of the tallest building in the city. Today, Kardash has been officially missing for seven years. The Elders have classified as a renegade, and is to be executed on sight. Kardash was the only friend Halo ever had, and he was also Halos lover. Kardash trained Halo for years, giving him the abilities to extract revenge, and join the ranks into becoming a Doomsayer. Though all of that doesn't matter anymore. Kardash was gone, probably forever. The Elders granted Halo time to "recover" from his loss. But their generosity only stretched so far. The Elders never liked Kardash, they whispered that his life style was unacceptable to be a Doomsayer; how he brought shame to all Brothers.  But that was in the past. Halo has been ordered to continue with his work. To capture people essential for the plan. Halo hasn't completed a single mission since he was made a Doomsayer. He's been to busy looking for Kardash. A tear ran down Halos cheek as he remembered the feel of Kardashs embrace. Halo pulled a piece of parchment from a pouch, on it was braille writing giving Halo specific name. There were three name written, Sothe, Zanio, Varnis. Those are his targets, Halo put on his mask grabbed his sword and stepped off the side of the building and proceeded to walk down an imaginary flight of stairs to the ground below.

Sara stared at Erik. "Enough banter, get me out of this place!" She nearly screamed at him, but managed an angry tone. She couldn't shake the feeling something bad was about to happen and quickened her pace until she was even with Erik.
------
Azael quickly told Markis all that had happened, the man, Varnis exiting the house onto the street, all of it. She wasn't sue who these two people were but, they seemed to trust each other at the very least. "What happens now?" She asked Markis and stared at the now awake Varnis. She held out her hand to help him up.

Halo walked through crowds of people in the town. The Elders told Halo that some of the targets would be here. But other than that they didn't tell him any other details, where to begin, or how to conduct himself. So Halo figured that it would be best just to start asking around to see if anyone knows the targets; once Halo got any information he would kill the persons he had talked to so they wouldn't be able to tell any of the targets that they were being looked for. But walking through the crowds of people made Halo remember the times he was on a mission with Kardash.
"No, don't think of the past. It wont help you with anything. It's been seven years, if he was still alive you would have found him by now. Remembering will only distract you from your mission." Halo muttered to himself.
Halo turned the corner and walked down a secluded ally way. There weren't too many people around from what Halo could tell. But being blind one could never tell exactly for sure of not. Halo wondered when exactly he should begin his search. But for the life of him he really didn't care about it at this moment.

"Another man?" Markis looked a bit worried. He shouldn't be after him now... He doesn't even know his own potential... Even his own power... He was lost in thought for a few moments as he looked at Varnis as Varnis accepted Azeals hand to help him up. "You don't know where he went though, do you?" He watched Azeal then turned to Varnis. "And do you?"
"I... I don't remember..." He lied. Varnis didn't want Markis to know about what had just happened, but he knows everything now that Azeal told him all. Rain had started to drizzle as the three talked. Closing his eyes, he looked up into the sky and let the cool rain fall onto his face. Smiling, he let out a sigh of relief before looked to Azeal and thanked her for the help up. The rain was refreshing, and cool to anyone that had felt it. It seemed to calm everyone that heard the drops hitting the ground.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"If you are not my enemy, then why do your guards attack me?" The samurai eyed Alcorve, still holding his sword.
"Because... you ran after your sword with out even a word to the guards." Alcorve turned to face him. "Now is not the time fo-"
"For you maybe. But not for me..." He interrupted. "I'm taking my items and leaving. No reason to stay here."
A sigh came from Alcorve as the samurai spoke. "If you where wise, you would not leave... War ships are headed this way. They will arrive with in the hour, and you will get caught in the crossfire if there is an attack if you try to run." He responded as he grabbed a sword, or a rather odd sword, that laid on the table next to him. It was a white marble sword that was about three feet long. It seemed it weight at least 60 pounds, but Alcorve was able to pick it up with ease. "I don't care if you fight or not Samurai, but just don't get in our way. You can leave if you want as well, but that wouldn't be wise all the Doomsayers running around as well." He looked at him for a second before heading for the door.
"Zanio..." He said as he watched Alcorve start to leave. "My name is Zanio, not Samurai... And I am leaving. I have no reason to stay here. I can live in the wilds for years with out the help of others." He looked at Alcorve, and waited for a response. But only got a response he wasn't expecting.
Alcorve laughed at Zanio's stupidity. "Look around you. Feel the air. Don't you taste the sulfur?" He shook his head. "Just looked out the window. This is a barren waste land. We are surrounded by Volcanoes. The only "wilds" around here is about 25 miles from here. But... I wouldn't even call it that. So little trees and animals. You not only have a lot to learn. But you also need to learn to see whats in front of you." With that, Alcorve walked out the room, and headed towards the cities barracks.
Zanio didn't trust him. Its just his nature to not trust anyone, no matter who they are. He became angry at Alcorve. Walking over to the window, he looked out it. He was 15 stories above the ground, which was enough to let him barely over the city's large walls. He was right. Nothing but a barren waste land, except for the ocean a few miles to the north-east. Walking back over the the mannequin, he put his armor back on, and strapped his swords back to his side. He looked at the guards as they had just kept watch over the city from where they where. He wasn't sure of what he should do.

Erik smiled. "The exit is right in front of you." Erik said, pointing to an open gate with many bloody, broken bodies around it. "Let us leave this dark place. I feel the darkness seething."

The rain made Halo break-down. It was all to much for him. The only reason he had lived this long was because of Kardash, the only reason he hadn't given up earlier was only becuase Halo was searching for him. But that's no more, even if Halo found Kardash he would have to kill him. That's the way it was now. There was nothing Halo could do to change that, the only thing he could do was slump down against a wall, remove him mask and start crying.

Sara looked at the thing. "How does it work, do we just enter it?" She asked in a flood of curiosity. She started forward at the portal at a dead run. She wanted to leave this place, be fully out of the hands of her captors.
------
Azael grinned at Varnis, as he thanked her. "It was nothing?" She said and ended it with looking into the now softly falling rain. She was genuinely happy now, as the rain fell she could feel her bond with her sword strengthen, as she remade the promises she had made to it, the day she woke up with no memories on the side of a road. She studied the people all about her again seeing them in a new light. "Can I ask what is wrong?" She asked Varnis and Markis, still unsure of what had transpired with the man and Varnis.

((How on Earth did you know Erik could open portal at will?))
"Wait!" Erik commanded. He walked towards the portal as well. "Don't just run in. Beyond the portal is a realm of darkness. If you enter without me, you will be begging for darkness to enter your soul and corrupt you."

Markis sighed as Azeal asked what had happened and looked to Varnis. He seemed as if he didn't want to say anything but, he knew he had too. "If what had transpired here is what I think it is..." He shook his head. "No... Never mind." He turned and looked off into the distance. If he really has come for him then... He seemed to be bothered. They cant be that stupid to be after him as well... He will just kill them all. Being lost in thought, he didn't notice Alcorve running up to him.
"Markis!" Alcorve called out as he startled Markis, causing him to jump slightly. "We are under attack. Three battle ships where spotted by our scouts. They will be here in about 45 minutes." He leaned against a wall as he tried to catch his breath. He wasn't used to running long distances. Its been a while since he has ran that fast, that far.
"Do you know who they are?" Markis asked as he looked back at the two.
He shook his head. "The scouts think they are Fire nation's but they are odd ships." He looked at Varnis, then back to Markis. "I have alerted the guard, and the military. They are setting up preparing for an attack. The Samurai has also woke as well." Alcorve turned and started heading to the Barracks. "We'll need your help. Can I trust you?" He turned his head to see Markis talking to the two before leaving to catch up to him.
"I don't know if I can trust you for your help, but I will need your help to defend this part of the city please." With that he was off after Alcorve.
After the two where out of range to hear Varnis spoke up. "I need your help. I need to get to the bell tower to meet some one." He looked at Mia as well (Assuming she is still there unless she decided to walk off somewhere.). "Can you two come with me... Not sure if I can trust him, but he claims he knows the truth..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A little girl passed by Halo as he was crying and walked up to him. She looked to be about seven and her parents where talking to a guard about the possible upcoming battle. "Hey mister, whats wrong?" She asked him sounding concerned. She carried a handful of flowers that made the area around her smell sweet.
((If He isn't in the city, then ignore this.)

(( I'm in the city, I was trying to get someone to give me an entrance into the action. Thanks ^^ ))
"I'm very sad, I've lost a very important person. He meant a lot to me, but I can't find him. Everything reminds me of him, It's hard to..It's hard to continue with out him...On top of that I've been ordered to..do something. It's also very important, but I just can't do it right now." Halo said never bothering to look up to the little girl that he was talking to.

((I guess I misunderstood you Ratchet...Sorry for that.))
Sara looked at Erik in alarm. "You didn't say that!" She said stunned at her very close call. Her heart was hammering so fast in her chest she felt dizzy. "Ok I'm with you then." She said and waited for Erik to catch up.
---------
Azael nodded at Varnis. "I'm not with the village or the city, so going with someone isn't a problem." She said before she set her hand to the hilt of her sword. She frowned her annoyance at the rain. It had foreshadowed the coming battle. "Well I'm with you." She said again.

((Np lol.))
Varnis looked over at the bell tower. "Then lets get going." He started to walk off in the direction of the tower. "By the way... Whats your name?" He looked back to her. "You probably already know mine since you heard Markis calling my name."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Maybe he will find you." She handed him some of the flowers that she carried with her.

Halo took the flower in his hands, having his hands feel around the flower to find it's shape. From what Halo could feel, it was a sunflower. "Thank you little girl, what is your name?"
