Welcome to Gaia! ::

Evil scrabbled at the barrier that had suddenly appeared around him, roaring in frustration. She was really starting to hurt now and it showed plainly on her face, however animalistic it might be. Her stomach clenched tightly again and she gasped, the breath escaping from her painfully. A tear slid unbidden out of her eyes, though they contained no trace of Evil in them, just the hungry animal. She pounded on the barrier as hard as she could, snapping at it with her powerful fangs and digging at it with her claws. She tried to wrap her Black Flames around it and smoke him out at the least. She was getting desperate now and was even trying to crush the barrier with her sheer weight, but it didn't seem to be working. her breath started to get ragged and her fur was spiked out all around her in clumps, making her look like some sort of rabid dog.

Evil whined, scrabbling even harder at the barrier. Her stomach growled again, the sound even louder than before. She shook her head, drooling profusely and still trying to get at him. She sent off another sporadic burst of telepathy conveying her rudimentary feeling and broken distorted thoughts Hungry-him-food-now-belly-hurt-! But then it was gone as quickly as it had come. She redoubled her efforts and now began to assail his barrier with her Black Fire. To her, he was the only potential food big enough in this area. Since Evil had earlier driven all the animals away, there was nothing left for her to eat. If there had been other potential creatures to eat then she would have give up on this attempt and futile and would have gone to find easier prey. But this wasn't the case and she had to get food NOW!

Evil stumbles forward, almost falling on her nose again. This time she caught herself and got to her paws. She snarled, her tail arching in annoyance. Now where did he go? She turned around in a circle, whining loudly as she did so. If she didn't get anything she'd probably collapse or something. The ravenous hunger in her empty belly seemed to sharpen her nose and ears and she quickly enough caught his scent. She stumbled forward, swallowing reflexively even as saliva dripped off her fangs onto the grass. She paused. Something was constricting her throat! She roared, twisting around and yanking it off. It was her collar, the characteristic E etched on a metal plate on a leather band with her tiny golden bell landed on the grass, the bell jingling softly before falling silent. Her breathing was heavy and uneven now and her sides hitched a little every once in awhile. She staggered towards his scent, once again crashing loudly through the woods, her collar abandoned in the clearing where Xeion had just come from.

Evil was beginning to feel herself get weak. Her eyes had become even more dull than before and she stumbled a little when she walked. Where could he be? Her stomach growled insistently at her, pressing up against her skin and building the pressure there. She gagged a little, the pain becoming even worse. She was getting dizzy now and had to eat something soon, even if it was rocks. She snuffled along her way, trying to find where he had hidden. His scent trail confused her, looping back and around and going all sorts of ways. Her huge claws left deep gouges in the soft soil as she walked, her steps heavy and harder to lift up as time went by. She was wheezing now, her ears drooping downwards. Soon she'd be too weak to even pin down her prey and swallow it...

She shook her head, picking up her pace with a dogged sort of determination. Must...get...food... She thought in her halting way of hers. She perked up when she thought his scent was getting stronger, and she forced herself to go a little faster now. any second now she should find him...and then maybe she could eat something...If not she would resort to rocks, although it would hurt like hell...

When Evil heard a loud shout her ears pricked forward. Her stomach rumbled loudly and she suddenly stopped her current course and bounded towards the shout. Sure enough, there he was, just standing there. She stopped, still wheezing and stared at him. She looked haggard now, her fur having lost it's gleam and having gone dull, much like her eyes were. Her claws and fangs were chipped in some places and her ears drooped. She was still large and imposing, but obviously much, much weaker than before. It was amazing though how rapid that this transformation had occurred, since it had only been an hour or two at most since he had stumbled inside of the barrier. She licked her chops eagerly, thick strings of saliva plopping onto the ground. Want. She said in her new, slow way of hers, staring at him greedily as her stomach rumbled once again, even louder than before. She took a step forward, warily though since he might do something. Her Black Flames flickered to life, almost transparent now. Since her belly was empty and unfueled, her flames were weaker. Even this small show made her hungrier, using up her last reserves of energy. her legs trembled to try and hold her up as she padded towards him, her head low and her mouth open in a snarl. In one last ditch effort she ran as quickly as she could at him, pushing off the ground with a small burst of reitsu to make her go even faster.

If she didn't get him now it looked like she was done for.

Evil gave a high pitched snarl when she felt something stab at her belly. The Flames around her flickered, and then faltered, starting to disappear. She roared, trying to twist her body in mid air away from the thing that had stabbed at her empty belly. Oddly enough, it didn't hurt though, but felt sort of nice and warm. Her stomach constricted, groaning as healing energy started to spread throughout her body. She reared back on her hind legs, slashing wildly at Xeion before falling onto her back and curling around her her belly, whining. She felt strange, with conflicting emotions that confused her. The roaring hunger of her belly started to fade slowly, leaving her feeling hungry still, but not ravenous. While she didn't come out of her Bankai she slowly regained her consciousness back, becoming Evil once more as intelligence flickered back into her eyes. She shivered, her massive form looking pitiful in the fetal position she was currently in. Soon enough the stupid hungry animal she had become was gone and she was back to her old self, for the most part. Her ears drooped and she uncurled a tiny bit, blearily looking around. Who...Who's there? She asks a little fearfully, her memory fuzzy from when she'd been hunger crazed. She felt tired, worn out, and still a little bit hungry, but not like before.

Evil's fur started to slowly rise when she saw Xeion lying face down on the ground, similar to how an anime character's would in a show or movie. She was frozen in shock for a moment. Unbidden, her stomach growled softly and Evil hissed, her ears flattening. She snapped her head back and forth, dispelling the awful thoughts that had started to creep into her mind. Xeion? Xeion?! Get up! She barked, getting to her paws. Then the smell of his blood, nice smelling to her lupine nose, hit her like a slap in the face. She could see it was all over her pelt and splattered across the ground. Had she done this? She glanced at her claws, seeing them bloody and she whined softly, her tail curling around her legs. She padded over to him, nudging his still body with her nose, getting more blood on it. Xeion...Why did you come here..I...put up a barrier... She mumbled stupidly, already taking note of the injuries on his back. She wasn't terribly good at healing, but she would hopefully be able to help them a little. She debated about whether or not she should go back into her human form, then rejected it. She needed her Black Flames and special Lycan abilities for this one.

She hovered nervously over him, then bent her head, licking at his wounds to clean them. This was very hard for her to do, since it only made her hungrier, but she ignored it. They were still bleeding, but they were at least clean now and free of the dirt and bits of rocks and such that had gotten stuck in there. Her saliva, which had weak healing properties, slowly started to mend the wounds. But she knew this wasn't going to be fast enough and she had to stop the bleeding now. She let a small flicker of her Black Flames appear and scooted a little closer to him, putting one paw gently on him to keep him still. Carefully, she cauterized his wounds, sealing them shut with a quick administer of her Fire. The smell of burnt flesh wafted over her and she swallowed hard, curling her tail around her more tightly. Then she sat down in front of his head, nudging him and licking at his face. Xeion, wake up now...Your wounds are better now...Come on... She murmured, trying to bring him around.
