Welcome to Gaia! ::

Auron was practically half alive when he arrived to the crumbling city, but he didn't realize it until he snapped back to reality when a gun was fired somewhere close to him.

Still, he couldn't believe he had walked through nearly half of the city without so much as one person giving him a problem. He thought for sure his satin blue robes would have drawn attention, or the fact thatone of his eyes was covered from a still healing wound. Common sense would have told anyone else to run the other way from the sound of firearms, but he was never a conformist to what everyone else would do, so he went to investigate.

When he heard the sounds of men shuffling around nearby, calling and searching for someone. He had unknowingly come to stop by a crumbling structure, resting one long fingered hand upon the edge of a split in the wall. Only two choices arrived to him: hide himself away and wait, or mislead the group for the sake of the person they sought. The latter would drain him of energy, he hadn't eaten, slept or drank water in several days because the road was so long between here and the last town he had been to that was now shrouded in darkness. The first choice was his only option, so he slid into gap he had his hand onto- narrowly missing a man with a massive hammer catching sight of him.

Two of them, considerable amount of power... not all that bright... He heard breathing. Not in his ears, no, this sounded much too... much too close to being in his mind than in his ears. Surely he wasn't hearing people breathing from several feet away!
Add this to my roster of outlandish abilities... He thought with a roll of his eyes, honing in on the breathing when it gained a pulsing beat. With each beat of his heart he felt like a cord was tied to his lungs and spine, synching him and pulling him. Whatever it was wasn't a malevolent spirit; kindness and pain radiated from around him and he felt something he hadn't felt in ages. Hope.

OOC: Hope this is okay for a first post, massive headache is killing me but I'm too excited about the Rp to wait until it goes away XD

Sanity, he decided, was not his forte. Despite the stunningly growing amount of danger- especially since he was in such flashy garbs in a terribly bland city- he still glided on his feet behind the men with ferocious amounts of muscle or weapons made specifically to obliterate someone.

Auron stumbled through the wreckage from one site to the next; building after building and street after street until he shuffled into the front end of a tall building. The sounds grew from there and he knew it only from the breathing becoming louder and the tightening in his spine, something he had no idea as to what it meant.

Blue eye wide with concern over what he would find now, he nudged a bit of concrete on the floor with his shoe. It was pure accident, he hadn't meant to make any sounds, but he still looked down as if to silence the debris with a disapproving glare. 'Ssssssh!' He thought, nearly out of his mind again with fatigue.

OOC:

The last of the sun's rays were setting upon his face from the holes and gaps in the wall, and they lit his eyes in a brilliant clash of yellow on blue; the ocean at sundown. Shivering once, the slender figure made the bold risk of moving closer to the one that was drawing him in. Whether his legs moved of his own accord or unwillingly followed invisible puppet strings on him, Auron remained focused on the beat on his heart, the things on the floor, and the pulling force of his blood urging him forward.

He uttered to himself snippets of books, songs, and verses in his mind to calm himself. Of course he knew he was a Kami-Oni, he had known for many many years what his job was and duties were when he found the Child he was to guard but he found that he had nothing of which to explain this force that brought him to the edge of the doorway. The wind pushed a bit at his back, causing his robes to flutter forward a bit- brilliant white and dark, cornflower blue whispering in the breeze. The men were still wreaking havoc outside, and Auron spun on his heel to double check the entrance before blindly reaching back to hold onto the doorway.

OOC:

The man lit up like a supernova. His blood rushed in his ears, his mind flashed in and out of a haze, and the woman standing with a pip in her hands as if she were ready to beat his head in wasn't helping. He was getting too weak, and his nerves were taking account of the fact that he had found her at all. Wordless, he glided to her side ot grasp the pipe in her hands and used it to lead her down the hall as the sounds outside grew worse.

They hadn't been discovered, and he was grateful, but the situation out on the streets was getting intensely out of hand. After making a security round- checking the window, peering out of the doorway- he turned his attention back to the girl. One of the Children... What should he say... well, what could he say?

Auron felt suddenly out of his element, and at a loss of a way to proceed. So he stood, rather sheepishly with a barely there curl of a smile on his lips. His throat was too dry to rasp anything out at any rate, so he chose to bow his head in a kind gesture for a "hello" and awaited her reaction.

OOC:

Sukyo looked for a clear path into the compound, he could see guards in every direction. There was no easy way in, and shadows were also not playing to his favor. The sun was going down and all the shadows were being cast in the opposite directions of his plan of attack. He noticed a small pathway leading into the woods was also connected to a back alley way type of road in the back of the compound.Hmm...that will do just fine...Now how to get there without being seen...He looked around for a clear opening and used the shadows of the trees to move slowly to the pathway. He sensed what seemed like two guards coming from the north and hid inside the shadows of two trees covering a ditch. The guards walked slowly towards him. He could hear them clearly talking about their last raid into a neighboring village. They described in detail how they desecrated not only the land, but the villagers as well, more informatively, the females. It sickened him the way they talked about them like they were just objects for their sexual desire. He waited until they just stepped past the tree he was waiting behind. He quickly slipped out his sword from his sleeve and slashed at neck level, decapitating both of them at the same time.Let that be your punishment you bastards...He quickly moved their bodies and heads into the ditch and covered them in a thin layer of dirt enough to cover their bodies completely. As soon as he was done he moved towards the path once again.

He arrived at the pathway without any further interruptions. He quickly marked the tree with a swift 'X' cut into the bark indicating his escape point. He waited until the other guards moved past and silently used the shadows to move into the compound. He moved quickly to avoid detection and hid behind a building that had a clear sight line to the rest of the compound.Lets see...target building...small...two Theron guards...small black crest emblem...Ah ha!He saw the building about three buildings to the left. It was perfect since the shadows of the sun setting cast to the left of the buildings so he wouldn't have to move in plain sight. He continued around the outside of the buildings taking out two more guards who where on lunch break by the second building. After hiding the bodies he made his way to the target building. He made a slight noise so the Theron guards could only hear. He waited as they both ran towards the sound. As they turned the corner they found nothing. He quickly jumped down from the shadows in between them and slashed one in half. The other tried to react but he was too late. Sukyo quickly turned the blade from a downwards motion into a plane perpendicular to the ground cutting the other in half from the waist. He smirked and moved into the building, there he found his target sleeping in bed.Let's see here....what can I use....Oh...perfect...He noticed a small gas valve by the stove and removed it after turning the gas on. He set a flame timer for three minutes and quickly made his way back to the path. As he arrived the timer was just about to go off. He looked back in the direction of the building and counted down,Three....two...one!He quickly covered his ears as a shattering explosion filled the air with smoke and debris. He started running through the forest not looking back once at the scene.

He ran until he heard what sounded like gunfire and chaos a few clicks from his own position. He quickly ran towards it and hid in the shadows of the trees just before the clearing. He watched as they attacked a girl. He had to admit though, she had style. As he watched her retreat into the building he started to move. That is of course until he saw another figure enter the building. By the looks of him he wasn't a enemy. A Kami-Oni perhaps? He waited until the figure disappeared to start moving towards the men who attacked. He counted the number of men left,Three huh? Easy pickings...He ran straight towards them and caught the first one off guard, the man tried to swivel and shoot but Sukyo was already too close and ducked down slashing the man at the waist cutting him in half. The other man started shooting at him. Sukyo quickly dove forward and ran straight at the man also catching him off guard. The man got his aim down to late, Sukyo saw the bullets heading for him and quickly moved his blade to intercept the one right in front of him cutting it in two. He quickly spun and slashed upwards at an angle killing the man instantly. The third guy wouldn't go down easy. The man ran at Sukyo and swung his hammer straight down. Sukyo raised his sword to defend. The man was pretty powerful. Sukyo laid back and held himself up with his free hand with the other holding the sword was blocking the attack and holding the man at bay. He was bent backwards from the knees but saw this to his advantage. He quickly spun from under the hammer and stood up swinging the sword at the man. The hammer moved and intercepted his strike sliding him a few feet back.Crap....I know! Attack from above!He quickly jumped and somersaulted over the man. While in mid-flight, he quickly turned and slashed the sword straight down at the man as he swung his hammer straight into the ground. When Sukyo landed the man fell onto the floor, a long cut was along his back. Sukyo quickly made his sword disappear into his sleeve again and headed into the building.

He slowly opened the doorway and examined the interior of the hallway. He noticed the shadows and lack of sunlight in the room and knew it played to his strengths. He silently moved through the rooms avoiding the random debris and junk that lined the floor below him. He listened intently and heard what seemed to be talking coming from close by. As he moved closer he examined the voices and came up with quick profiles based on their voices.One male, around twenty-twenty two...one female, around twenty-twenty one...non hostile...He moved closer to hear them better, as he approached the doorway he overlooked a small glass bottle just outside the doorway to the room with the two unknown people. He slid his foot kicking the bottle lightly. It sputtered around in circles before rolling into the room where the people were.Crap...crap crap...son of a...He stopped himself short and really hoped they didn't become hostile and attacked, because then he would have no choice but to defend himself from the imminent danger they might pose to him.

He sighed to himself, he had been caught and it was because if his own stupid mistake.Stupid...Stupid...Very sloppy work....He scolded himself over and over again. All his life he had been practicing how to be sneaky and a little bottle gives him away. He was too amazed to even be mad at himself. This was way to funny to be true. He heard someone in the other room pick up an object. By the sound it made it seemed to be metal. He pondered it he should just run away or take his chances and walk into the room. He was sure he could handle anything whoever it was could throw at him.

He took a few deep breaths to ready himself. He wanted to make sure he was focused and ready to react if need be."Hold on! I'm not an enemy! I'm coming in unarmed okay?"He took another deep breath and showed his hands in the doorway first to show that he was unarmed. He then slowly took a step out into the open and looked into the room with his peripheral vision. He saw that there was a girl with a pipe and a man who looked quite in pain.Okay good...no real danger...He emerged fully from the doorway and showed that he had nothing on him."My name is Sukyo, look, I'm not armed. You can put the pipe down now."He gestured for her to put the pipe down so he could relax.

He looked back and forth between the two. Did she really think that he would be with this guy? He wasn't sure what she was playing at but he decided to play along."Look, I saw the men attack you, and I saw you and him enter here from the woods. I am here by myself of my own accord. And just to let you know I killed the men that attack you..so..yeah, you're welcome."He couldn't be anymore clear then that. He still remained in defense mode since she didn't drop the pipe. He made sure to keep an eye on it while still remaining in eye contact with the girl. To be honest, she was pretty cute to him. Yet that was the last thing on his mind at this moment. He just wanted the tention in the air to clear out for now.
