Another wyvern landed, on this one was a girl about his age, with hair the brilliant blue of flames. Her eyes were the same color and they now raked over Ark liberally, "He can ride with me, Papa." She purred.
Profius glared at his oldest triplet, "I told you to stay aloft, Sativa."
"It's so boring up there!"
Another wyvern landed and this one had a girl who looked exactly like the blue-haired Sativa but had short black hair and golden brown eyes, the gold caught the light as her eyes narrowed at Ark, "I told you he would be cross." She said to her sister.
And yet another wyvern landed, this one had her long green hair in two horsetails on either side of her head. Clutched in her arms was what appeared to be a pink stuffed rabbit. She blinked at Ark with wide eyes the shade of new leaves. She then blushed and looked away, saying nothing.
"We were due for a break anyway! Hello, Stranger, my name is Sativa, this is my father Profius, my sisters Chloe and Millicent, and my mother, the most lovely Evangeline!" Sativa introduced everyone grandly.
Profius adopted a long-suffering look and sighed.
The fifth wyvern landed and on it rode a lovely woman with hair as black as pitch with feathered wings the same color. She smiled benevolently at Ark, "Hello. We're so sorry to come upon you so suddenly like this. We mean you no harm. My daughters are simply lively. Will you forgive them?" She asked, her speaking voice like music.

Maya Jinkini Ohestu 'Akarian Summoner' A deep red brindle and white wolven creature could be seen wandering around the Tournament Grounds. Maya flicked her ears as she listened to the sounds around her, sighing as she realised how much she hates being on her lonesome. Maya finally came to rest at the gates after much pacing, her heavy iron hammer strapped to her back clunking as she flopped onto her side to lay down.
She would be a combatant in the upcoming tournaments, and couldnt wait to cause some pain. She had killed again...this time it was an eagle. The wolf in her was hunting, and the majestic bird was felled at her claws. It now seemed that she would have a bald eagle form.
Maya lifted her head with a huff, she really was impatient. The wolf curled her head around and used her tongue and teeth to unbuckle the strap that kept the iron hammer in place. The weapon thudded to the floor with rather a loud clang, leaving Maya free to stretch her spine and legs and curl up for a nap.

Arkarian D. Kaze ~The Flaming Spirit~ Ark was stunned by the angels appearance, why was she traveling with a demon?, then he heard the comment on them being married. A large look of confusion appeared on his face, after he wiped it away he turned back to the man. "No offense to you sir, but I think I'd prefer to ride with one of your daughters or your wife..." Ark was afraid his anger would overtake him if he rode with him, and he didn't want to cause a trauma for the girls and thier mother. "If you'll allow it?" Ark asked it as if a question so as to not offend.

This request elicited a number of reactions from his new prospective travelling partners. From Profius’ reaction, it could be correctly deduced that there was no way that was going to happen.
Millicent’s gaze jerked towards Ark once again, paling, her green eyes wide.
Chloe’s expression closed down completely, leaving her face unreadable.
Evangeline’s expression remained the same, in fact, she didn’t seem bothered by the request at all but she said nothing.
Sativa brightened and looked eager. She turned to her father, opening her mouth no doubt to volunteer yet again but a sharp look from her father silenced her. She subsided with a disappointed click of her tongue.
Profius’ gaze returned to Ark and he gave him a crooked smile, “I’ll do you one better.” He then let out a short, sharp whistle.
Up above, a number of riderless wyverns still circled above, waiting to continue their journey but at the whistle, there was a screech and one of them detached from the group and landed near Ark. The horse-sized reptile focused on Profius as they seemed to communicate before turning it’s attention to Ark. It gazed at him with one of his eyes for a moment, not moving at all before shoving it’s snout into his chest and then his crotch very much like an enormous dog, snuffling at him. It finally pulled back, making a series of clicking noises before lowering itself closer to the ground.
“This is Beia. She has agreed to let you ride her.” Profius introduced, his voice laced with amusement. He looked to his youngest triplet, “Millicent, if you please?”
Millicent didn’t look up but raised her hand where a soft green glow surrounded it.
Something on the wyvern’s back became alive, writhing and coiling. Ark would notice what looked like a saddle forming out of vines. In fact, if he looked at the others, he’d see similar contraptions on their steeds, vines hugging around their backs to keep them seated.
As soon as that was finished, Millicent spurred her wyvern and it took to the air.
Chloe followed closely behind.
Sativa lingered until her mother murmured to her softly and then she was airborne as well, joining her sisters.
Evangeline turned a radiant smile on Ark, “I am so glad you will be joining us, Arkarian.” She used his full name before joining her daughters, leaving Ark alone with Profius on the ground.
“Hop on. We must be on our way.” Profius urged.

Arkarian D. Kaze ~The Flaming Spirit~ Ark was shocked to hear his full name used, he didn't give it out. Ever... How could this angel know? "Hold on!" Ark ran and jumped onto the Vine saddle spurring the wyvern into the air. Ark had riden many times before and loved it, he loved it now even more, he shot the wyvern above the group at a high speed. "Whooooooo! Yeah!" he did a roll and then leveled out near Sativa and Evangeline with a pure look of happiness on his face. One that rarely appeared, as he covered in his calm demeanor he turned to Evangeline "My name is Arkarian Deol Kaze, son of Nero and Angelia Kaze, reasearchers for anti demon defense, and I wish to know... how do you know my name?" Ark said this to Evangeline specifically but Sativa was proably the only other one who heard.

Profius made sure the boy was fine before he took off taking up the rear of the group.
Chloe was in the lead with Millicent. She glanced back at the whooping and hollering behind her, correctly confirming it was their new travel-mate before returning her attention to the course ahead.
Sativa grinned and giggled at Ark's obvious enjoyment.
Evangeline looked over at him and smiled, her eyes dancing with mirth, "I'd love to tell you something mysterious but the truth of the matter is. We have met before. You will not remember, however, you were still an infant. A beautiful baby you were, almost as beautiful as my girls." She sighed the last part, nostalgia shining in her eyes.
"Aw, thank's Mama." Sativa cooed.
((...that came outta nowhere, I didn't even know that...))

Arkarian D. Kaze ~The Flaming Spirit~ Ark was confused... As, as a child?... oh well, I have my secrets others have thier's "Hard to believe I was cute once huh?" he joked at Sativa, he was masking his dislike of demons as best he could. Sativa though, there was something about her. Ark didn't mind her as much as other demons.

Sativa chuckled low in her throat, "No, not hard to believe at all." She purred in response, giving him a crooked smile.
"Tournament, ho!" Chloe spoke for the first time, calling back the pronouncement indicating they were close to their destination and closing in.
"Are you meeting someone at the tournament, dear? Do you have any kind of arrangements?" Evangeline asked Ark.

Arkarian D. Kaze ~The Flaming Spirit~ "Meeting? No, I'm in the tournament ma'am" Ark was trying to be polite when he heard Sativa's comment and blushed red. The tournament grounds were grand and large, surprisingly,it seemed to be very good in appearance, almost holy. Ark's emotions flew from his face in a instant, the fire in his eyes was almost visible however.

Satisfied with the reaction she got from him she settled back on her ride and concentrated ahead, a smug smile curling her mouth slightly.
I'd tell you to stop flirting with him, but I doubt you'd listen to me. Chloe murmered in her mind.
I don't know why you're being so hostile. He's cute.
And you aren't an unbiased party, for sure. Chloe put in sarcastically, He hates our kind, you know.
Hm? What kind?
Demons. You must have been too distracted to smell it. The smell of his hatred for our father was like burning moldering things.
That sounds pleasant.
Don't be glib. My point is, any moment now he's going to remember that we're our father's daughters. Keep your guard up.
Fine, fine...
In the meantime, Evangeline blinked at Ark, "But wont the tournament last more than one day? Where will you sleep?" She asked, frowning slightly. It was her first time to the Tournament.

Arkarian D. Kaze ~The Flaming Spirit~ "Yeah, it lasts quite a while, I'll probably just sleep outside" Ark shrugged "I'm used to it" he smiled trying to convince her that he would be fine. Ark felt a upsurge of energy in his palm, he had been over charging his Glove again, he had to release some power or it would start to hurt. Seemingly for no reason Ark used his magic to make his hand become ablaze, but so much energy went to it at once it came out as a cannon of energy "Whoa! Crap, Profius! Look out!" Ark didn't mean to but he had a feeling he was about to be in trouble, unless he did something. Ark stood and using an unreal speed his seemed to flicker and was instantly on Profius's wyvern, directly in front of the flame, he drew a blade and sliced through it, it split in two and off diagonally forwards.

They made an emergency landing not far from the entrance of the tournament. Profius was unruffled by the events though he was impressed Ark was able to balance on his wyvern as he'd done. His wyvern, however, was not so thrilled by the stunt and growled irritably at Ark once they'd landed on solid ground. Profius dismounted and patted the large reptile neck, patted it's nose and murmered softly, calming the animal before looking over at Ark. He didn't get a chance to say what he'd been about to because his middle child came in out of nowhere.
"WHAT IN THE HELLS IS WRONG WITH YOU? Have you no self control whatsoever?" Chloe snarled at Ark, looking like she wanted to shake the living daylights out of him, "If you don't know what you're doing you should still be in training not on this suicide mission of entering the tournament, and certainly not endangering the people around you!"
Profius put a hand on her shoulder, "That's enough, Chloe. Go on, we will catch up with you."
Chloe looked up at him and appeared to want to argue the point but at her father's steady gaze, she clamped her mouth shut, threw Ark another withering glare and then turned on her heel to walk away. Her wyvern followed her and so did Millicent.
Sativa looked like she wanted to stay but then followed her sister.
Evangeline stayed and dismounted, coming towards the two of them, "Are you both alright?"
"I am fine, love. Ark displayed some pretty impressive skill...unfortunately you displayed a lack of control as well. Does it happen often?"

Arkarian D. Kaze ~The Flaming Spirit~ "I...I'm sorry, my glove was amplifying power I was trying to release slowly and that's what happened..." Ark had been staring at his feet since they landed "I'm getting better at controlling it... I'm so sorry..." Ark said but somewhere, deep down Ark's fury was building up again he looked up at Profius who had seemed amazed that such a young kid had so much skill. Ark then realized how much danger he had put Profius in, as well as the girls when he fired that blast "Excuse me for a moment sir, I need to be alone... but I will see you later" Hopefully... Ark thought as he approached a pond not far from the tournament grounds. Ark roared in anger. At himself, and at his power, his entire body engulfed in flame "Why!" he yelled "Why! Why does this happen whenever I become friends with people! Why!" as he roared the energy and heat rolling off of his body flew into the air and all around "Why... Why..." he sobbed with his body still engulfed in flames he curled up on the ground, crying steamy tears he thought of his mother... People near camp however, simply saw fire burst into the air for a short time and then quiet down into the earth.

((ooooh, you wanted Sativa.... twisted She's not who she needs right now...))
Some time later, he'd hear someone approaching from behind.
Chloe's arms were crossed and her expression was empty. She eyed the char marks on the ground and then looked at Ark, her dark brow raising, "My mother said I should come and apologize to you." She rolled her eyes, "I'll apoligize for not being very tactful but I won't apologize for telling you what I told you. You have problems with control." She sighed and put a hand on her hip, "Fortunately for you, I'm your sister in elements and I can give you a few tips if you want them."

Justyra watchedbsomewhat interested in the odd gathering of people, the strange boy, the halfling girls. She scrunched her nose slightly at the man. Demons, she thought but ignored it. If an angel had taken him as husband she could do nothing. Her vast silver wings pinned tightly to her back as she eased by, careful not to attract notice.
