Welcome to Gaia! ::

She smiled the scean truley was beautiful, but something told her that they should get back, not to mention it was getting dark in the forest. "Come on"she said giggling as she took his arm "Let's head back in, i'm getting cold"she said.

She put her head on his shoulder as she walked back with him, she couldn't believe that she had found someone who loved her, and was so sweet, and perfect. She sighed in happiness as she continued to walk with him, the night sky making everything around them perfect.

Tallan's attention almost seemed...off, at the moment of Joy's approach. His eyes had become distant as they lay themselves upon the forest far ahead, even beyond the clearing. Kujiro...had become the current and marked center of attention. Behind him, there was a path of devestation, trees which had been swiftly smashed near the base and large sectiosn of ground opened, torn asunder. The dark eyed man's mere movement upon the group was like a natural disaster that ripped through the land. And this was what his attention had focused upon...at least until Joy climbed over his back. He blinked once, the glow in his eyes receeding, leaving hastelly. That very same pair of sweetly sensitive, calming eyes tilted in the direction of the energetic girl on his back. Following it was a smile, which was then presented to Ella further off. "Hmhmhm, not to worry my dear, I am most certain..." he takes hold of the scroll in his hand, though he carefully brings the pen back, slipping it into Joy's hair with a smirk. "...to be pleased with this...transaction, hmhm." his smile was so very calm, the expression was one of pleasant joy. There was not even a moment of hessitation witht he signing, as he opened and read it within mere moments. Already was he readying to sign it, even before Joy's 'convincing'.

While she gave the trickling warmth of her breath, and the soft, suggestive touch of her tail his head leaned away. He chuckled lightly at the feeling, smirking, with his eyes still directed up toward Joy. "You needn't worry, Joyous. I have...every intent of signing..." but it would not be with the pen that he returned to her, no. Instead, he lifted his right handed finger up slightly, and then slowly tapped it against the line where his signature was expected. He drew his finger to the right, creating a line above the line, a blackened trail of fluid that broadened and thickened over the paper. The liquid slowly shifted and curved, it altered and changed itself until finally forming, in a neatly cursive form: "Tallan M. Drachorsa". After 'signing' it, he breathed out, closing his eyes. His left hand held the document up for Joy to take, whilst his right hand slowly moved back, cupping Joy's cheek lightly. Tallan's head leaned back, next to Joy's head, and leaned toward it. Both his eyes closed, masking the ethereal nature of his gaze. His smile broadened steadily, his lips began to part, and his teeth shown. He relaxed against Joy...as two pairs of fangs would show underneath the now opened pair of lips on the upper and lower set of teeth. "You will not regret this...my dear..." he whispered into her ear, turning his head so that his own breath, warm to the touch, would tickle against her ear.

They were walking through the forest when out of nowhere two tall, white men in suits and sunglasses walk up to them. "Mihkail, your coming with us." Mihkail looked at them wierdly. "Who are you and why do you want me to go with you?" "For the simple reason that you must be destroyed. You broke protocol, and you messed up." "I'm not going with you." They looked at him with stern looks. "Well then, well just take her then." One fo them pulled out a gun and walked over to Riiko. This made Mihkail so mad, he lost control. "Leave...her....OUT OF IT!!" He screamed as he used his mind to pick up two rocks and impale the men against trees. He made sure they were dead and turned to Riiko. "Okay, let's..." Out of nowhere, two darts jutted into his neck. He stumbled around, then two more were fired into his neck. He crashed to the ground unconscious. A man in camo with a large rifle went over to him. "I hate it when weapons malfunction." He turned to Riiko. "Why don't you go along little girl, I have to properly dispose of this weapon."

Because Pander was crouched down, the only thing he could do to avoid Scytheress's flying body was to do a matrix like move from the crouch. His spike cracked as he bent backwards, his hair brushing the ground. Jangen and Dirge were both on the right of Pander, already out of Scytheress's path. Regardless, they took a step back each.

This is bad...

As Scytheress passed over Pander's head, he fall onto his back, unable to hold his balance any longer. Jangen pulled out one of his large swords and Dirge was up on his feet, each hair on his body standing stright up. Dirge looked like a rabid beast. His fangs were exposed like mad and drool seemed to already be dripping off them.

You ok?

Dirge and Jangen were beside Pander so fast that it seemed the previous actions happened while there were already beside Pander, which they did not. Jangen helped Pander up with his free hand while Dirge looked around wildly for the reason Scytheress went flying off at them like that.

She stuck her tongue out childishly at the man who now looked quite scared, she then brought her attention back to Mikhail. Riiko leaned down and put his arm around her shoulder and her right hand around his waist. She walked him down to the infirmary area as best she could, in her mind she prayed that he would be okay, she wanted to know what in the world was happening, but she had to focus on him getting better.

Scytheress felt herself stop as Ayumi caught her, the force of the blast pressing her hard against the other girl. Scy could feel with excrutiating percision every inch of the sphere as it flattened against her back before finally exploding. The dark energy washed over her skin, burning her pale flesh as the flames licked across her body. Half in determination and half in panic, Scytheress pulled up her right foot and planted it against Ayumi's thigh to push off of. She split from the other demon and slammed into a sturdy tree, her right wing flying up to tangle in the branches and hold her up just slightly. Her body sagged against the trunk as her legs wouldn't support her, her arms draping listlessly to her sides, and her head rolled forward in defeat. Her hands shook as the black fire began to dissipate, like tiny tremors running through her after a strong electric shock. From the look of it the Fox had passed out. She hadn't moved since that last vault from Ayumi's grasp.

Blood trickled from a few gashes in the extended black wing where the sharp branches had caught and the liquid made its way down to Scytheress's shoulder. The warm trail seemed to bring the woman around as her golden eyes slowly opened. Scy brought her trembling left hand up to her face difficultly and felt the blood still coming from her poor nose. It was making it more difficult to breathe so she plucked a black feather and wiped it across her face. She had to admit she was pretty bad off having not even known she was at war yet but that would soon be remedied. Scythe tensed her right wing and drew herself up along the tree, getting her feet back under her and standing firm. With a rough shake and spray of blood she wrenched her wing clear of the tree and tucked the mangled limb behind her once more.

By now Kujiro had already unleashed his next attack on Pander and the other two. Scytheress readily admitted to herself that her little friend was in a bad spot and she couldn't help him outat all, in all honesty she didn't want to. Kujiro was freakin' scary! He moved too fast for her to see, dealt out attacks she could never block, and was over all so... mysterious that it indefinitely bound her curiousity to him! Scytheress could only brace herself as she waited for Kujiro's next move. The thought didn't even cross her mind to look to Ayumi and Yume to see if they fared any better than she had. The burns she'd suffered screamed out at her even as she stood still and the strips of burned and dead skin clung to the passing breeze and pulled each time the air was disturbed. Not to mention her body still shook, but it couldn't be determined if it was remnants of the attack or fear...

Ayumi growled as Scytheress kicked her in the leg to get away. Couldn't she have picked a better way to tell me to let go? Ayumi stood up, a bit shaky and leaned on a small boulder for support. She turned her shoulder to Yume who was sprawled out on the ground, most likely knocked out. She did sort of hit the ground hard...Ayumi winced and walked over to Yume. Some scratches, some bruises. Nothing too bad. Except for...Ayumi paused in her observations and looked at Yume's right arm which was twisted at an un-natural angle.

That looks like it hurts alot...

Ayumi frowned and brushed Yume's arm with her finger. She lifted the arm, seeing a deep gash in it. I guess she skid along the ground... Sure enough, there was a thin trail of blood under her feet. Ayumi growled again and looked over at Scytheress.

You okay?
