Dashiell could only nod, agreeing happily with suzette, leading the way as alberon trailed along clinging to the tip of his long swaying tail. "It really is a shame the inn burned down, it was a lovely place to stay.." really he couldnt help but wonder in the back of his mind who had caused such destruction to their small town. His quick steps and the sound of his hooves suddenly coming to a halt, not checking behind to make sure zuzu was still in tow.."What in the name of light?" he had to stare for a few moments just to understand what he was seeing. An immense battle taking place on there beach, lightning and water and wind..so many elements he couldnt even begin to keep track of things, amidsts it all so many diferent types of constellations.
Unable to tell anything apart, let alone understand why the battle was taking place, dashiell did notice one thing that took presidence over all else. A small twilif child laying there curled up in a tight ball upon the sand, seemingly trying to stay out of the way of the fight, maybe to scared to move? "Alberon love...do you think you could stay way up here on the boardwalk and watch daddys things. If you search through my pack you'll find candy"
Alberon too seemed mesmerized by the fight, more by the flashing lightning and pretty water then anything else, the little phyri oohing and awing at the effects the attacks made..sooo shiny.."Huh..uhn..Okkies! Hee hee, daddy's gonna go play with the pretty people..ahh..Caandy!!" his little eyes wide as he grabbed for the pack dashiell handed to him.
"Yes little one candy..Miss suzette..if you'd like to join me maybe?" he had his heart set on the small twilif on the beach...suzette on her own though, as he'd figured looked like someone who could do something formidable and powerful if she dared to try.
Daskri-Mal just barely resisted the urge to stick his tongue out at the woman, she was truly rather annoying maybe even a bit misguided with her decisions. Chaos seemed to have further erupted around them, the center of the new darkness no longer Seir, but candle maker, Haveni herself. The aura emanating from her chilling to the bone..
Distracted enough by the insane laughter and the new terrible sight of the gunslinger he hesitated in defending against Rosels powerful attack. Little slingshot melting away in lieu of him drawing a shield, stabbing it into the ground as the lightning hit and surged through the arm holding it, singeing flesh and leaving a coarse painful pattern along his skin.
Daskri cried out with the sudden pain and growled to cut it short..."Witch! I pity no one, certainly not you or myself, I just like balance in my world" he hissed as he glared at her fiercely. The paint brush was in motion again, this time something more fierce and large. Pitch black fur green teeth and red eyes, the three headed chimera took form, snarling silently as it lunged away from its creator and lept out at Rosel, three jaws snapping hungrily to get a taste of the girls flesh.

“what the…?” Keanu managed to see the shot evaded it landing face first on the sand “Noctis what the hell are you doing?” had he just shot him?! And now…he was trying to shot Loki! He had never spoken with him but he was not going to just stand by and watch hurt the others. It was then that he raised his sigh and saw even more constellations was that Aeos? And…two more he didn’t knew. This was getting out of control, the ports city was known for being peaceful not for a bunch of fighting constellations trying to kill each other!
“that’s enough Noctis!!!” with a quick move of his hand he made the nearest wave to double it’s size and hit Noctis. While he knew this might not be enough to calm him down it would give him enough time to go and help Loki. “Are you ok?” he asked at the constellation “Can you stand up?”
As they walked Suzette heard the voices and noises of what seemed like a battle, her eyes went immediately to Alberon. There was no way in hell she was going to let something happened to this adorable kid. Her eyes went up to Dashiel and nodded “Oh yes of course…”
She turned back to Alberon “Daddy and I will be back soon, so be a good kid and guard the packs ok hun?” she smiled sweetly at him then turned around and followed Dashiel “What is going on? Is this normal? I thought this was supposed to be a quite peaceful city. Her right hand was already clenching the poison vial tied to her belt. It's seemed like her charm and poison were not going to be enough for this, yet she hopped they would do the trick and she would not have to summon her rapier or dagger.

Without answering, Loki swept his arm at Keanu, his hand noticeably burned from his technique. He knew there was little he could do with it but wave it about like a blunt stick; god damn it, he'd actually burned himself. That'd never happened before. Obviously, trying to exercise control over his own magic at the moment wasn't an option. Not unless he expected consequences to follow.
Yet, it wasn't the pain in his hand that was bothering him now. He had felt it when the shots rang out, and when he looked down, he saw that his leg had been grazed by a bullet. Blood was trickling down, into the sand, and the bullet had managed to clip him enough to cut through the fabric and take off several layers of skin where it had hit him. Damn.
He only growled at Keanu, mistrust flashing in his eyes.
"Do not come near me!" His voice was strained, his tone laced with the pain he wasn't used to. What matter of trickery was this? What had he cut his leg with? His head was ringing with the noise, the stress, and the pain.
So both hands were pretty much useless. Well, that certainly limited his options. The phyri had summoned a wave to barrel into Noctis, but with his current level of power, he wasn't sure if that would be enough.
"Oh, great," he muttered angrily, rubbing his leg. "Cool off his burns, why don't you." Well, that was all he had. What now? Was he to die here?
He suddenly craned his neck to look here and there, scanning the area for Haveni. She had been approaching, and then... what? If anything, he certainly feared her the most, at the moment. He didn't like knowing he had managed to lose track of her in his scrimmage.

“oh shut up will ya?” he ignored loki's glare and knelled besides him “This shot looks quite nasty and you are losing too much blood” he tied a strand of his pearl necklace on Loki’s leg, trying to stoop the bleeding “and technically the salt water will make his burns hurt even worse” he bit his lower lip. Keanu hated hurting others but this time it had been necessary. “Sides with any luck he got salt water in his eyes and his sight will be blurry.” He took a look at Loki’s hands still ignoring his mistrust “You cant keep fighting in this condition…” he peeked over his shoulder to make sure his waves were keeping Noctis busy.
But then his sight went back to Haveni. He remembered seeing her a couple of times before, she had always seemed so…sweet and innocent, what happened to her? “What is wrong with Haveni?”

Alberon nodded eagerly happy to obey and wait and of course search for the illusive candy snack that lay packed away neatly somewhere...Oh where oh where could his little snack be! Silvery eyes roaming the items as he dug in deeply purring with contentedness at his search..naturally he hardly noticed the chaos going on around, a rather oblivious little one safe where he was.
"I dont know exactly whats going on, I've never seen these particular residences before.." Some of them maybe on his occasional passing's through the town, but the rest were mysteries to him. "Maybe this has something to do with the inn fire eh? Our town here has always been safe if a bit rambunctious at times with all the sailors that come in...still we've never had battles like this" he shook his head slowly, mane sliding across his back as he eyed the curled up ramial gaze lingering over the gathered group of what he could only assume were trouble makers.. "Either way we cant allow this to continue, so lets do a bit of damage control" Dashiell truly had no hatred towards any of them on the beach, no secret grudge, really he didnt know who any of them were..but they were certainly disrupting his visit.
The rather upset phyri reared slightly before dashing out onto the beach, fireballs blazed through the air aimed towards Haveni, another quick but smaller batch aimed at Aeos, he wasnt even choosing really, just attempting to disperse them.

Luckily, Rylia had picked a pretty good spot to stand at to watch what was going on around her. Multiple battles were in progress and she was lucky to have not been hit by a stray attack from where she stood. Not that she wanted to and she wasn't going to press her luck any further. But one questions popped into her mind as she considered moving. Should she move closer....or away? There was no way to know what was going to happen and she certainly didn't know enough to understand just what was happening around her. She recognized who they were. Yes. No doubt who they were, but rather what sparked the fight and why everything looked so...scattered this time. Not only that, things were different.
So many things didn't make sense, but she figured she would have to draw closer to learn more. To discover what was going on perhaps. Well, if she could understand. The circumstances were far different then a month back. That one constellation, the dark one who seemed to be the leader. He was actually fighting this time. He was a he right? But disregarding that last thought, there was the thunder lady and the other one who seemed to control wind. They both seemed pretty beat up and then were was Haveni and that strange male constellation. She remembered him because he seemed to act funny around the female constellations a month back but...he seemed a little different. Or maybe that was just how he acted towards boys against him? She hadn't seen it before, but it still was a little odd for there to be that much of an attitude change between girls and boys. She shook her head.
Pulling away from the pole of the lamp post she stood by, Kiru next to her, she saw Azra'iel seemingly trying to get closer to one of the what was it...three progressing battles. "where...." she whispered, curious as to what and why he would go or seemingly try and get closer to the battling area. She looked down at Kiru and then started to move through the crowd, curiosity being the only thing making her even want to get closer to the main event. She was moving through, probably much easier then the light constellation because she was able to squeeze past by areas far easier in the crowd moving until she felt her feet hit something on the ground.
She hadn't been paying attention to anything below her, but rather in front, finding herself looking down to see what had stopped her. What she saw was a twilef, curled up on the ground and covered in mud. He seemed to be shaking.Kiru stayed behind Rylia making sure not to get stepped on as she kneeled down, looking at the twilef placing one of her hands onto his side shaking him lightly. "Are you....going to get up...?" she whispered confused as to why he would choose to be in such a position in a place like this. But it wasn't just that. His position and movement confused her. Why was the twilef acting this way? was he cold? Or was he perhaps trying to hide thinking no one would notice him?
A frown crept it's way onto her face as she moved around to the front of the twilef, crouching over as she bent her legs as if she was going to stand up and reached for his hands. She was going to attempt to help the twilef to stand up by pulling him up as she brought herself up to full height. But she wondered....if the twilef even wanted to stand up...

Fulmine's gaze turned toward the ocean once more. His gaze rested on a pair walking around, and he shook his head. This wasn't the time to be taking a leisurely stroll.
Another loud crash reached his ears, and he began to worry for the two's safety. A few rapid steps later, he jumped off the edge of the building, flipping until he landed a few metres away from the pair, then walking up to tap the female on the shoulder.
"I'm sorry to disturb you and your companion, Miss, but may I ask.. What is going on. You seem to have been around longer than I have." He admired her lovely eyes. They were gems of the brightest emerald he had ever seen.
(Post directed to Liath)

Suzette left out a soft whistle as she saw Dashiel. So, fire was his alignment huh? Good, good. She took a look around and evaluated the scene. She could try and call for her poison spear, the water could dissolve it a bit so if any got poisoned it wouldn’t be fatal after all, she was in a quite good mood and didn’t felt like killing anyone today. Her hand went to the poison vial and opened it, a couple of poison pools in the sand could help to slow them down, but then she saw it : the poll she crated earlier that day was still there, not far away from where the fighting constellations were. “Well, I pity the poor fool who steps on that” Her emerald eyes glowed with malice.
‘Oh well a bit of exercise wont hurt” she dropped some goo on the sand, then kneeled down in front of it and let out a soft musical whistle, her hand then sank in the poison pool and dragged something from it. It slowly solidified and took the shape of a spear. She had just started to smile at her weapon when another voice reached her ears. She turned around; both hands grasping the spears handle and looked up at another Constellation. He had blonde her and kind eyes. Suzette stood frozen for a second, admiring the looks of this newcomer but suddenly shook her head and got back to her senses.
“I’m not really sure; we were just passing by and heard the battle.” Her eyes went back to the fighting constellations “We think it might have something to do with the incident of the inn but we are not sure. Though we thought about stepping in and trying to end this chaos”

Well, alright, he'd give him that. Salt did make things hurt much, much worse. That wasn't going to make him trust Keanu, however; not after what had just happened with Noctis and Haveni.
He rolled his eyes at the gesture. "And how is that supposed to help my bleeding leg? Honestly, the pearls are digging in and..."
He sighed. Shook his head. There was no point in arguing, as much as he wanted to. The creature was probably honestly trying to help him, but he couldn't afford to trust anybody just yet. It was every man for himself, now, wasn't it? Besides... it was a surprisingly sentimental thought, but he knew he would only weight down anyone who tried to help him now. Best to try to ward them all away, convince them to leave him be. He was nothing but dead weight now.
When questioned, he simply shrugged a shoulder. He wasn't certain who, exactly, 'Haveni' was, but he could certainly guess. "I don't know, but I do know one thing. This is not the best time to be attempting smalltalk. Now, leave me alone, would you?" He swatted at him again, the movement little more than a feeble attempt. "Lest you want to end up like me, that is. Then, by all means, stay!"

A wave of water hit him, the force throwing him to the ground at the moment. Dazed and dizzy, he choked on some salt water- spitting the salty taste out of his mouth. Ew. Disgusting. And now his clothes were all wet-- Goddamnit, he was gonna murder that Keanu. The coat Noctis took so much pride in was discarded to the ground, sand and dirt mingled in with it.
He revealed black clothes underneath, wringing them out so keep the weight lessened. Even he knew it was stupidity to attack in such iron-heavy clothes. he stared ahead, realizing Loki was injured. A wide smile crossed his face, knowing the man had not gone unscathed. He cracked his knuckles, intending to go a second round. After he took off these soaked boots, he kicked them off ******** the world. Everyone in it should just die. That was the firm belief driving his mind at the moment.

She couldn't hold on much longer.
The fire that was her arm was beginning to spread throughout her body, her veins racing with liquid heat. She watched with dismay as the black-cloaked Constellation easily blocked her attack; that wall of air had taken most of the energy she had left. The water left over from over from the block began to swirl around him, his fingers idly playing with the liquid. And then he smiled at her.
He was smiling.
Anger joined the fire in her blood, flooding her entire body with red-hot passion. He could joke about the deaths of thousands, smile towards the loss of sanity for spiritkind? The water circling Seir suddenly stopped, then shot out towards her. She settled herself with a resolute determination. She did not have enough strength to protect herself, but she would fall like a warrior. He could take her life, but he could not take her honor.
She watched in near slow-motion as the whip of water halted abruptly midair, then swung towards her. The water struck against her side like a crowbar. Multiple ribs shattered where the liquid hit. Her body soared through the sky like some oversized rag doll, limp and unmoving. The same thought reverberated through her mind, a never-ending mantra of humiliation.
I have failed.
She hit the ground with a dull thud, the force of the impact knocking the air out of her lungs. Pain was all that filled her senses for a few brief moments that seemed to fill a lifetime. With a conscious effort, she opened her eyes, ready to locate Seir again. Right in front of her head rested a pair of bare feet, tufts of white fur on the ankles. Her breath caught in her throat. She would recognize those shoes anywhere. It was Haveni.
With a burst of adrenaline-fueled energy, she sprang from the ground, every muscle in her body screaming in protest. That same black smoke-like substance she had seen earlier curled around Haveni's body, like some vaporous snake. The female's eyes were crazed and blank, as if someone had stolen all life from them. The realization hit Nashara like a blow to the gut:
This wasn't Haveni. Not anymore.

"Stop it? On your own?" He was curious about this little twilf. "How do you think you'd accomplish that? They seem.. Full of rage, I fear for all of the little ones around here, like your companion."
He reached his hand out, patting Alberon on the head, smiling. "Are you alright, Little One?" His voice was soft and concerned, like a kindergarten teacher who was comforting one of their students who had become hurt. Though this little one seemed to be alright.

“Well they will slow down the circulation and stop the bleeding IF you stopped moving, seriously they are the ones trying to kill you, not me” he sighed but shook his head. After all he kinda understood why he was acting like that. He had seen him with Noctis before and they seemed to get along; Keanu couldn't understand what was wrong with him
He took another looks at Noctis and Haveni, they both seemed...odd, nothing like themselves and then he noticed the dark aura surrounding Haveni, that thing made him shiver and he made a mental note to stay away from it.
Keanu snickered and just stayed besides Loki “yea I could run away and leave you here all by your own but I don’t feel like it …so don’t mind if I stay” he pulled up his hair and tied it into a ponytail, this fight was weird and obviously dangerous but he was in his element and he was determine to help ended it; there was no way in hell he was going to run away.
Suzete grinned and shook her head” Alberon is staying here to take care of his daddy’s packs, I on the other hand im going to go and help Dashiel with these crazy constellations” she seemed not to mind the fact that all of them were obviously bigger and more powerful than her, there was no way she could miss this fight.
Her eyes went back to Fulmine “what about you? You staying to watch or are you going to help?” she looked up at him with, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Rosel frowned in disappointment as her lightning failed. Somewhat at least, he wasn't slinging paintballs at her anymore. And witch? Really? She had never considered herself such a thing, but the insult seemed popular among her enemies lately. Instead of making more of the mildly pathetic paint creations, her opponent had a slightly more interesting challenge, conjuring a three-headed beast for her to play with. Rosel's frown slid into a sneer. Did he have no sense? She vaguely recalled seeing him at the destruction of the Lost Village, perhaps he had somehow managed to miss her?
Beasts, three-headed or no, were not difficult to deal with. Whether it was made of mud, like the dirt-slinging creature, or flesh and bone like its creator, she could easily destroy both. Three fat bolts of lightning sprung from her chest, darting toward the beast pounding towards her. One would have sufficed, but it was best to be cautious.
This battle was dull, she decided, without the date that her previous opponent had inspired. The thought alerted her to movement in her peripheral vision, and though she intended to seek out the wind wench and see her fate, her gaze was immediately drawn to Haveni. Darkness poured out of her in waves, mirroring the pitch black sky. Not even stars could be seen. Forcing her gaze back to the battle at hand, Rosel grit her teeth and pushed off the light pole, ignoring the slice of pain that went across her back with the movement of her shoulders.
Playtime needed to end now. The green one was diverting for a time, but things were getting heated where her attention needed to be, and she was not going to be tied up playing target practice when things needed to be taken care of. With the thought, Rosel's lip curled in an angry growl, and another bolt followed the previous three, this one heading for the poor beast's maker.

Ergo tried his best to make the descent from the temple quick, but not rushed. He needed to keep a level head about him, as he could tell things would most likely get uglier than he would wish on the way out of the city. He also didn't want to worry Noel more than he already was, if he was at all, and it was very possible that he was keeping the same calm demeanor that Ergo himself was. He didn't give the kid the credit that he deserved. But there was also the possibility that he was seriously spooked, and that might bring Fulmine barreling through the city, into him and probably right through to the other side. The thought made him chuckle a little.
Turning back, Ergo tried to grab and hold that laugh in his voice as he spoke up to Noel. "You brought Fulmine with you, I'm guessing?" The wooden soles of his sandals began to clack as they transitioned from the rough-hewn stone of the stairs to cobbled streets. He could smell the smoke, charred wood and shingles, still hanging in the air heavily. It wasn't choking, though, and for that he was thankful. "If you did, he should be our first priority."
