Caliaphy
Caliaphy picked up her basket and started walking as well, raising an eyebrow and smirking as he blushed. She shook her head and smiled, listening to him play, and it was really quite lovely to her. Making one last measly attempt to get her bangs out of her eyes she looked at X as well. And before she got her words out they plopped right back to their usual place. "Really, it's no problem." Caliaphy blinked her big, blue eyes a couple times before looking forward again. "It's no problem." Then before he could say anything else, she tread in front of him, and made her way back to the courtyard. Looking back at him occasionally to make sure he was still with her.

X, The Kind Traveler  X looked up, and noticed that Caliaphy was looking back constantly to check on him. He chuckled silently, and strummed his guitar, till it eventually turned into a song.
"Don't worry, I'm not gonna run away" X said as he hurried his pace to be side-by-side with Caliaphy. "In fact, why don't I escort you home, milady?" X said with a big smile.

Caliaphy
Caliaphy chuckled then looked at him, tossing her hair and putting a hand on her hip. She raised an eyebrow. "Escort me home? But we're already going to the same place." Her tone was a tad confused, she wasn't really sure what he meant simply because they were going to the same location. She looked at his guitar and then back at his eyes. "I've never seen a thing like that before, it's really very nice." Caliaphy pushed her bangs whims her ear as she spoke. She Walked with him, just listening to his music.

X, The Kind Traveler X looked back at Caliaphy. "Really? It's a common instrument from where I come from. It's called a guitar. There's even electric ones now days. In fact, Mine's a hybrid between the two." X played another song, and the flowers imitated the sounds of a guitar, making some type of duet with him. X smiled a little, he enjoyed being in company with others.
"It's been a long time since I actually talked with someone. I've been on the road for two weeks." He looked back at his blood stained shirt. "Well, someone friendly at least. Now days, people just wanna kill me for just showing up somewhere" X looked at the moon, and back to Caliaphy. "Thanks. It's nice to have a friend like you around." [song link]

Caliaphy
Caliaphy looked down then straight ahead, she gave a sheepish smile and rubbed her forehead. "I don't get out much so.. " She chuckled and crossed her arms, treading softly through the flowers. "But you play it wonderfully." She pulled her hair over one shoulder and started braiding and unbraiding it. Looking down at her hair she thought of Kesshin. "I know what you mean about people showing up and wanting you dead. This weirdo came to where I live speaking gibberish and tried to kill me. Haven't seen that guy since." Then Caliaphy looked up at him and smiled. She never was referred to, or refurrred anyone, as a friend. "It is nice to have a friend in general. I haven't had one for a while.." She trailed off and began playing with her hair again.

X, The Kind Traveler X chuckled slightly. "If we both have people after us, then you'll probably need an escort anyway." X shifted his body a bit so that he could draw his sword easily, in case anyone would want trouble. "Besides, that's what friends are for. If you want, you can tell me what happened to that guy."

Caliaphy
Caliaphy laughed and rolled her eyes. "Probably. I'm not much at protecting myself." She was being sarcastic, but there was a bit of truth in that statement that's for sure. Although her limp was gone, the burns left from before still let themselves be known if she moved the wrong way. "And he just, ran away. He said I was a "target" or something. I don't even know what he was talking about." She never would have shared anything about herself to anyone, but she genuinely trusted this man for some weird reason. Caliaphy herself didn't even know why. "I haven't braced myself for his return like he told me to." She chuckled and brushed the thoughts off her shoulder.

X, The Kind Traveler X sighed a bit. He got a bit serious and thought about what to do. "...I would stay with you, but I'll attract the attention of my family if I stay one place for too long or visit constantly." He grunted a little, but composed himself. "I don't think it's anything I can't handle though..." X said with a bit of insecurity.
"Don't think you'll actually be willing to just run away from home.... I wouldn't..." X shook his head. He din't want to start thinking about family again. "...I guess I can try and stay to protect you"

Caliaphy
Caliaphy nudged X in a friendly manner. "Oh X, don't get too serious on me." she chucked, but then she to took on a serious demeanor. She had made a friend, and then he was already talking of leaving again. She took a few steps in silence, the spoke again. "You don't have to leave you know, not soon at least." She spoke a matter of factly. "We can protect eachother." Caliaphy looked up at X, then they reached the edge of the field, and it led into a forest. "The castle's right through here, just follow me." She went infront of X, and with that she led him to the courtyard of the castle.

X, The Kind Traveler X felt a bit bad for making his new friend sad, and breathed a bit deeply. "Ok... I guess I can stay for a couple of days..." X followed closely through the forest, looking out for anything unusual.
After a bit of walking, he noticed something unusual in the bushes. He looked around them, and found an odd wolf pup with multiple tails, but it was injured from it's torso. "Aww.... C'mere you poor thing.." X picked it up, and wrapped the wound with the makeshift headband Caliaphy made. He then carried it like a baby for the rest of the trip.

Caliaphy
Caliaphy walked to the field, battered, bloody, and broken. She made it to the center, before falling to the ground, face down. Her muscles hurt and would no longer allow her to move, blood soaked through the cloth she wrapped around her leg and touched the grass, staining the blades red. She took heavy breaths, her cheek on the ground, and stared with heavy eyelids. Her eyes were as dull as anyone's eyes could ever be, grey and tried. The ends of her hair were messy and singed, dirty. She was completely drained, and her purple, leathery wing fell limp beside her, the other was straight back from being dragged, looking as broken as it was. The scrapes and burns on her body were dirty and bloody. Caliaphy was fighting closing her eyes. But soon she could not even fight that, for she had no more fight. She closed her eyes, and consciousness escaped her.

 Holtz was headed back to his home, when something caught his eye. A young girl lying on the floor. He had no idea why, but his sick mind caused him to go check it out. He transformed back into a human and dropped to the floor. He walked up to the body, he poked it a couple times. Nothing seemed to happen. Holtz laid two of his hands on the girls back. After a while he backed up."Caliaphy," He said with a deep breathe. "interesting." Holtz also noticed the blood He went to examine it, his back turned towards the unconscious body. He dipped his finger in the blood. "Many, stories, many, stories..." Holtz trailed off. His eyes where closed as if reading in his mind. Quickly his eyes opened. Holtz had realized who had drawn this blood, none other than Kesshin. Holtz started t laugh uncontrollably, he tapped his fingers against each other. "She knows more than I thought..."He said still laughing. "Twists and turns, connect the dots..."Holtz said trailing off again. He turned back quickly and looked at Caliaphy, then turned back to the pool of blood.

Caliaphy
Caliaphy began to move slightly, her fingers and legs stretched out the relaxed again. She was there for a whole before anyone had found her. She took a deep, sleepy breath, then her eyes fluttered a little. She felt hands on her, and she moved a little more, her eyes fluttering open. "Who... Who are you..?" her voice was so quiet you could barely hear her. She began to stretch out her demon wing, ever so slightly she would move occasionally. The pain of all her wounds was beginning to set in and she began to wince. She spoke again. "Who are you?" Caliaphy didn't look around, she just laid as she was with occasional movement. It was all her muscles would let her do at the moment.

Holtz's head perked up as if he where a dog. Quickly he went back down, inspecting the blood. He then heard again someone ask who are you. Being oblivious to Caliaphy, he though it was, yet again, the voices in his head. "You know who I am..." Holtz said answering those voices. "Me , myself, and I...." He said ever so slightly with a little spark in his voice. Finally Holtz just sat down still looking at the blood. Under his breathe he continually repeated, Kesshin, Kesshin. Over and over again. "NO!" He screamed as if lecturing someone. Holtz fell over into the fetal possession, merely using his middle finger to swirl the blood. "Me, myself, I. Holtz said again and he slowly got quieter and quieter.

Caliaphy
Caliaphy's sight and hearing was obscured at first, but they soon became clear again. She listened to the mysterious man speak as if he were insane. She slowly began to roll herself over onto her back, then she slowly sat up. She had a good bruise on her face, and the cheek she was laying on was dirty. She looked at the man as he inspected blood. She made a confused facial expression as she watched him. "Wha- What the hell are you doing?" Caliaphy asked confused. "What are you even talking about?" Her voice was still weak, but you could hear her attitude coming back.
