Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Name's Axel. If you're escaping, then we need to move now. The team sent after you is moving in fast." Shouts are heard nearby. " Go! I'll take them! There's a cave a half-mile south of here. It's my safe house. You can hide there. Go!" Axel draws his sword and jumps into a tree, preparing to strike... when a familiar voice is heard.

((Aravel will be in red))

"The girl should've been here Unless...." Aravel draws his rapier "Axel Blaze. You're not dead yet. You never cease to amaze me."

"It'll take more than losing an arm to kill me, Darkwing."

"I see. But if you intend to fight me, one arm won't be enough."

"Blazing Cross!" Axel jumps out of the tree and cuts down an enemy soldier. "I have two arms, Aravel. See for your self." Pulls down his left sleeve to reveal the auto-mail arm.

((Not much has gone on yet.))
Maria nodded, running to the south. She wished she could thank him, Axel must be a nice person if he was helping her escape. The trees started to become denser as she ran, effectively blocking her from anyone's vision. She burst out into a small clearing, a small cave was hidden around her. Now she needed to find it.

((Yo finally found time to work on rping.....oh and whats the difference between ancient and Eager?))

Character Name: Azeois Rendease
Alchemist type: Ancient
Alchemist from: State
State Given Alchemist code name: Red Wolf Alchemist
Feelings on alchemy: He believe alchemy should be used unnaturally and he believes that those who can use alchemy shouldn't use it for personal gain.
Bio: Azeois was given his code name because of the trade mark red trench coat he wears and because he likes to work alone. He fears that should anyone help him they may get hurt. He uses a alchemy circle that is imprinted on the bottom of the ring on his right hand.

((Speak of the devil, strider!))

"Auto-mail. Interesting. No one interrupt. This'll be good."

"Are you ready? Someone call it!" Axel and Aravel take their stances, waiting for the signal to begin, when a soldier calls, "Go!"

"Let's go!"

Axel lunges straight in, only to be blocked by Aravel, who immediately counters. The two alchemist/swordsmen fight for a few good minutes before Axel scored a hit. Aravel pauses, looking at something that is an anomaly for him: being hit.

"Hmm...that's a rare thing I almost never see my own blood."

"Every human bleeds red, Aravel. Those who survive too long on the battle field begin to fancy themselves immortal. Pray you don't come to that, else you will be too reckless and lose a limb, or worse, your life. You were once my friend. I don't wish to be the one to kill you."

"Advice I will surely take, Axel. Seeing as this injury is somewhat serious, I shall retreat for now. Farewell, X-Blade. I will enjoy fighting you another day." Aravel and his soldiers, sans dead one, proceed to return to the base, leaving Axel to walk towards his safe house.

Axel begins to run home "I hope Maria found the cave. But then again, I did set it up to be nigh undetectable, even by sate alchemists." When he gets to the clearing, he finds the girl standing in the center if the field, looking a bit lost. "Perhaps I should've told you what to look for. See the circle of rocks on the ground there? Arranged just right so to look almost natural? Use alchemy to move the dirt aside, and you can enter."

Orcus reached the city of Nall and headed towards the downtown area where he may be able to find information about his current task.

"That's...smart..." Maria said, looking around the cave. It was pretty spacious, torches on the walls every so often made it look homey. The hole up above them sealed shut, giving the appearance that it was never separated into a hole in the first place. "Th-thank you. You're very kind. But, I'll probably be going in a day or two. Not to be rude or anything, but they're always after me, and I don't want you to get captured if they get me."

Koka walked, hands behind his head, down a wide path out in the open staring out into the clouds, seemingly not caring which way he was going. He has walked like this for a few hours now, getting bored of the same old scenery.

A few moments later, his stomache growled, and he realized he was hungry. "Wasn't there a town around here...?" He asked himself, and looked around in all directions, then quickened his pace down the path. Going over a hill he noticed a small city maybe half a mile away. Koka squinted, trying to get a better look at the name imprinted on the archway. He mouthed the letters, N-A-L-L, then repeated the name to himself, "Nall. I think I've been there before." He might as well stop there for the night, since he has nowhere else to stay.

Koka then looked at the ground and set his hands on it. Blue alchemic sparks appeared while the circles on the back of his hand glowed, and a loaf of bread alchemized from the earth in front of him. "This'll do." he picked up the bread and began making his way to the town of Nall, eating the bread on the way.
