Pae'il Name: Eros
Day: 1
Who is engaged? Venus' Retinue
 Enough was enough. For as much as Venus had annoyed him over the years, keeping him away from his beloved, tearing himself and his beloved apart, even removing his child from him -- the reality was that Eros loved her, too. She was his Mother. His doting, loving mother, that perhaps was a little overprotective. His loving mother, who represented love itself, and showed it to all her children especially him. A force of affection that the mortals and themselves could not do without. She was needed. She was necessary. She was their Mother. And this was their Temple. The mortals needed this temple. Eros turned his attention to his fellows gathered, wings keeping him aloft above the others of the retinue. "Brothers, sisters, fellow deities, mortals!" bellowed Eros, expression about as serious as it could have gotten for such a usually chipper man. "These naga dare defile our Mother's Temple, our Home, the place for the Mortals to Celebrate Love! Their very presence disgusts her memory, and it offends our very being!"
His gaze was sweeping. "We cannot let this stand. Not now, not ever."Eros shifted a bit higher, pointing back to the temple. "We have heard word about the possible location of our mother. There are leads pursuing this. Right now, it is our job to ensure that this is a beacon for our mother. A sign of burgeoning love to guide her back home. This is how we can help. This is our duty.
"Lift your weapons for love, but let their mark be true! Lift your weapons to restore the glory of the temple. Lift your weapons for the mortals, for us, and most importantly."He swirled around, bow ready, arrow loaded. "FOR MOTHER!"

Pae'il Name: Zulfiqar
Day: 1
Who is engaged? Beldaran and Darius
Zulfiqar had been keeping to himself, carefully eyeing his father's movements, when the final announcement and rally came. Each day seemed to linger further, each day another moment spent waiting for the moment he could rise to power, each more painful and frustraiting than the last.
But if there was no longer a temple, no longer a home, for him to take, what would the point of it be? If they were to fall here, they were surely weak and undeserving of the title of the most revered and powerful of the naga clans. No matter the internal politics, despite any a situation, this simple fact held true.
As the leader called for their strength, the teenager hissed in response, his body rising and his eyes looking to either side.
A small smirk appeared as he took notice of the pair attempting to corner him. What a shame that they were weak enough that there was a need for the attack not only to be one-on-one, but also connived to have an element of surprise.
How amusing.
Slinking intentionally in their direction, he hoped to lure them into a sense of over-confidence and distraction; a lulled sense of security made it all the easier to catch them offguard or to force a silly mistake.

Pae'il Name: Artemis
Day: 1
Who is engaged? Angwi Clan (general unless someone specifically wants to be targeted XD)
Snorting softly, the huntress slipped away as the Erotes and company charged forward. For Venus? Not necessarily. However, though the pink puffball irritated her with her antics around this time of year (particularly when she dragged Artemis into them, usually against her will), she could not wish Venus severe harm. She could wish laryngitis or maybe a persistent swarm of gnats would take up residence in her throne room, but nothing serious. Of course, she would need to retain her throne for that to happen anyway. So, not for Venus necessarily...but because sometimes, territory needed to be protected from invading vermin.
In a smooth motion, Artemis slipped her bow from her shoulders and notched an arrow. The charging forces for Venus rushed by, and she paused to let them pass, drew her aim, then let the arrow fly.
This was not to be a battle, but an extermination.

Pae'il Name: Hjortur
Day: 1
Who is engaged? Fidi and Caine
Contrary to simply everynaiad's popular belief, Hjortur wasn't one for fighting. Shocker, right? He had gone through all the training for most of his life on the art and technicalities of such things, learned of their history and the martial tactics and theory of the guard, so it wasn't as if he knew nothing of fighting.
He actually knew quite a lot about it.
Knowing something and wanting to partake in it, however, were two vastly different things.
Perhaps his father would have taken pride at the thought of Hjortur going off to battle, even if the circumstances were less-than-acceptable and those involved even more so. Still, there was something surreal about how familiar it all seemed to be. Eyes looked to either side, a small smile forming as they caught sight of Thalia. His muse. She alone was the dominant reason he stood here, parties and merriment aside.
Looking away, he glanced to his bone flute hanging from his neck and then to the fray. He couldn't offer much in the way of brutal strength or offensive powers, but perhaps he could serve as a distraction.
A distraction which was already clearly needed. Rushing over to one of his comrades already becoming overpowered, he brought the flute and began to play the music of the 'countryside.' Though invisible, he could feel the demons coming forth to engage both of them in song and dance. This was one of his generally stronger songs, for the moment, so the need to make merry should be quite high for both involved parties.

Pae'il Name: Sen'ka
Day: 1
Who is engaged? None Currently. Will be engaged with shortly
As one who was more of an observer, she had seen the slow changes that were taking over her clan. A few of them she liked to think she had orchestrated or at least been an element to their happenings. All she wanted was to see her clan strengthen itself. So while they all worked on their combat skills, she had taken it a step further and began doing what she could to strengthen their minds. That above anything was important. They needed to know they had the strength within in order to survive- and survival was key.
Her one sibling, Takshaka, was her earliest target. Not only willingly sparring with him, but testing his mental boundaries as well. From it she saw his fierce personality. She poked and prodded at it seeing how deep it ran. Once she had toyed with it as much as she pleased she released him to see how it grew. It certainly had, and everyone was feeling it. He and Zulfiqar wouldn't be there long. Many may not know this unless they had been observing them. Watching how they reacted to the others and especially Father. The way they watched him, mimicked some of his motions as if learning his ways. Perhaps in their minds this could give them the upper hand.
She was pleased to see how they had matured though. Instead they waited. Testing their own limits as they waited. She continued to watch them, testing her own ability in waiting. Could they see a perfect setting in their minds that she could not? Perhaps it was because she was not male and did not have to deal with these emotions and needs that she did not understand the wait. Either way, the more they waiting the more thankful she was that they did. Something else was building. This she too saw.
It started in their parents and whether the other noticed or not, but it spread to them as well. The jitters some called it. Anxiety and waiting. They were all waiting for something, but what? It couldn't be for a new male to take over or to at least be outs could it? No, it had nothing to do within these walls because her parent's eyes were set on the horizon. They were always watching that horizon...
Sen'ka was jostled out of her thoughts when her Father's demeanor suddenly changed and his call to them rang out through the temple. Yes, this was it. This is what they had been waiting for. This is what she and her siblings had been preparing for. Many had assumed they were preparing for a hunt or to take on the world outside, but it seemed the challenge would be coming their way. This wasn't a fight to fill their bellies, but for their own survival. That thought sent excited chills down her back and tail. Were they ready? Had she done enough to push and train not only herself, but her siblings as well? Reflecting back on it she nodded firmly. She had never held back during her sparring or mind games. She had done everything she could have possibly thought of.
Sen'ka didn't plan on hesitating, but she didn't plan on diving head first into the fight. Instead she made her way to the part of the room where the shadows were the darkest. She watched with bright eyes as the enemy poured into their territory. Their own battle calls were yelled into their air. How dare they say such things in their territory! They had no right to be here! The blood began to boil under her scales and it took everything inside of her to keep her calm, still presence in the shadows. She had to analyze the situation and see where she could be best used. No need to recklessly jump someone if you weren't assured some sort of advantage over them.
As she took in the scene around her, her eyes caught something. They flashed to where Zulfiqar was taking on two on his very own. This didn't surprise her in the least bit. He was a powerful Naga, but she felt he was being a bit over confident. Had he analyze their strengths to see if he could take even a single one of them on? She didn't plan on butting in unless it was necessary, but she still darted out of her cover and made her way towards him to provide back up if necessary. It wouldn't take long to know if he was in a place of danger or not.
No matter how her clan was feeling the split, she wouldn't allow a single one of them to go down today.
Damage: 13 + 6 healing?

 Pae'il Name: Voluptas
Day: 1
Who is engaged? Angwi Clan
That speech her father gave was very rousing all, ra-ra and for Grandmother and whatever.
Voluptas was not very much of a fighter, though, and never had been. She was a lover. She spread love and feelings of being loved or ... at least, feelings of being quite attracted to. That was something she could certainly spread as the Goddess of Seduction. It was right in her wheelhouse, as it were.
Couldn't she just seduce the naga, or something?
... Not do anything else with them, because that would be gross. She wasn't Zeus. They were snakes. That had taken over her grandmother's temple. That wasn't very cool.
But she would be much better at distracting than ... aiming at anyone. That was not something she was known for.
Still.
Voluptas carefully fingered one of her arrows holstered in a sleeve on her back. She could try. It would probably be a disaster, but For Grandmother, as it were -- she would try. And if that failed, perhaps she would try to make one of those naga lose their focus. That much she knew she could do.
An arrow flew through the air.

Pae'il Name: Sparrow
Day: 1
Who is engaged? Sen'ka
If Sparrow actually had a reason to be fighting to rescue Venus-specifically, it wouldn't have been much other than sentimental reasons. It was from her home in Dolander that her egg had matured, in this temple that she'd come to be taken in by mother. Here that she'd met so many others. Here that she'd come to learn the intricacies of love and the making of it, from that the pride of children.
Yes, she had much to owe to this place.
When she'd heard that her (perceived) friend Artemis would be joining the fight, her pulse had quickened at the excitement.
But there was something far deeper to it, something more primitive. Just the thought of those creatures... those naga... something about them made the harpy want to tear into them with her talons. It clouded her reasoning, boiled her blood, diluted her rational to simply see-snake, kill-snake.
She saw a snake.
She was going to kill a snake.
Flapping her wings and taking to the air, the harpy quickly caught to the smaller girl, likely with the unanticipated speed characteristic of her kind. Her eyes had the fierceness of a hardened hunter about them as she bared her talons and struck for the other one's head and chest.

Pae'il Name: Amatus
Day: 1
Who is engaged? None Currently
Their house had been in such a disarray since the youngest of them went missing. Amatus still didn't understand clearly what had happened to grandma Takeko during the time that she'd lose sight of such an important member of the family, but mostly of Xiulan. Each one of them had taken what time they could to search for her. Still, nothing was coming through for them. Some days Amatus wanted to give up, but he wouldn't confess to it- not even to Erasmus. It sounded heartless and he was sure someone would accuse him of getting bored easily and not caring enough. Truth was, he cared so much that it hurt. Every time someone came back empty handed hurt the worst he had ever felt.
Some days he left and just walked. Some times he'd walk aimlessly with his brother and others he'd do it alone- have time to reset the heart in a sense. It wasn't often they were apart and he could feel it during these times, and hated it. So his walks alone didn't happen often, if for anything to keep him sane. How could someone so young just disappear and especially right from under Grandma's nose?
None of it made sense to him and he was getting to the point where it was about to drive him crazy. Anger and uncertainty were making it harder and harder to clear his mind in order to attempt any more searches. Where else could they look? What else could they do? It was all starting to become absolutely worthless. Why hadn't he been nicer to her? Sure, he had picked on her because she was little, but he did it all out of love. The chubby little thing was hard to not love, but he'd certainly take some of the stuff back he said if he could.
He was starting to not act like himself- the goof ball was disappearing and replaced by someone who was snappy and quiet. He may have completely lost himself in hopelessness had his brother not heard the best news they had in awhile. Apparently a huge party happened during this time that brought a ton of Pae together. If Xiulan was lost she would hear word about it right? And maybe she would find her way there. They had nothing else to go off on so what could it hurt? If she wasn't there it would just be another failed attempt...
The tricky part had been to act like they weren't up to something. Mom was such a pain in that department, usually catching them before they could pull a fast one on anyone. It was like her super power or something. This time it wasn't all that hard what with everyone distracted. They really just pretended to mope around with everyone while inside they were bursting at the seams. If they found her- Amatus could only imagine the joy that would fill the house.
Plus it didn't help that it was kinda like an adventure. Sneaking away from everyone while they weren't looking, with a small amount of supplies and their young hearts full of excitement for an adventure. Sure, they had gone off looking for Xiulan on their own a few times, but usually someone knew where they were going and they always had to be back at a certain time. He even assumed they had been followed a few times with how clinging some of their family were acting. He couldn't blame them though, they were all scared to lose someone else.
This time though, no one knew. It was just Amatus and Erasmus taking on the world themselves! They hardly had direction to where they were going and got easily distracted along the way, but once they neared things changed. Their steps became determined and their conversation halted. His mind raced as his steps brought him closer and closer. He wished and willed her to be there and as he neared, the sounds of the party hitting his ears, his heart almost stopped.
He stood in the doorway by his brother letting his dual colored eyes take it all in. A mess of feathers and yells filled the air. Claw and fang tore into flesh and scale, cries of pain and excitement rallying some and causing others to flee. Amatus watched, his head slowly shaking as he took it all in.
“No wonder Mom didn't want us coming to this thing. What kind party is this?” he said, raising his voice to be heard over the commotion. He was expecting music, food, dancing, everything but this. Now where he was feeling excited to find Xiulan, he now hoped beyond anything that she wouldn't be here. That thought disappeared as a mischievous smile curled up his lips. It had been a long time since he and his brother had done anything... fun. Plus it didn't help that Grandpa Kane had been training them behind poor Mom's back.
He threw the grin over at his brother, a twinkle in his eye. “After you my dear brother. You may have the honor of picking our first dance partner!” he said as he held out a hand towards the mess of fighting bodies.
Man, they were gonna get in soooo much trouble!

Pae'il Name: Sen'ka
Day: 1
Who is engaged? Sparrow
Sen'ka should have remained in the shadows longer. She should have analyzed and seen more of the battle before revealing herself. It would be something level headed Sen'ka would have told herself, but evidently she wasn't thinking. Whether is was the excitement of actually getting to be a part of such an event or her over concern for her family- either way it put her in a bad position she would quickly regret doing. Not only that, but she had focused herself on one point in the room leaving herself open. Someone took advantage of that.
At first there was just a stinging pain across her cheek and chest. In an almost other worldly feeling she paused and assessed. This wasn't the pain of a sibling's fangs. No, this hurt much worse than that. In a split second of the attack and assessment she was turning towards where the attack came from. Never in her wildest dreams would she see one of them here. It almost tickled her silly with excitement. A harpy! Look at all of those glorious feathers she could have hanging around her neck! She eyed the other a moment too long, picking out which feather would be the perfect one, that she almost took another talon to the face. Quickly lifting herself up further back onto her tail, brought her back and higher up- away from the deadly needles. She was already feeling the pain of two other snags she didn't need to get distracted now! How could she lose her cool at a time like this? It was a rookie mistake and she wouldn't make it again!
She was already sitting back on her tail and out of reach, for the moment, so she took that instant to analyze the situation. This harpie looked much older than she- perhaps seeing more of these battles than herself. All she knew is from the looks of it this wouldn't be a very fair fight when it came to strength. There was something in the other female's eyes an almost frenzied state- perhaps giving Sen'ka the upper hand when it came to strategy. That or it could empower the other so much it could take Sen'ka down faster. She pushed those dark thoughts away. She was going to have to bank on strategy if she was to survive this. So, with her mind cleared she began her assessment. If she could enrage this female could she have her slip up?
One thing she knew was on her side was speed. This female had surprised her by her own, but how fast was she really? Lowering herself down again she darted to the side, before darting to the other side of her. Slowly she ramped up the speed, seeing if she'd come at her or leave herself open for an attack. This act of diversion wasn't below Sen'ka. She understood you didn't only need power to win, but some times deception. Especially if the enemy you faced was more powerful than yourself, and that much Sen'ka knew.
She continued to dart this way and that before she made it to the side of the female. Within the female's peripheral vision she lashed out with a fist towards her face, in hopes of keeping her attention while she used the end of her tail to wrap around the other's ankle. Her hope was to at least unbalance the female, at most she'd love to get her tail around her and constrict the life right out...

Beldaran approached the temple with her brother, neither knew the full extent of the stranger's 'invasion' of Venus's Temple but both knew that they were going to help try to oust it and to find the missing goddess. Reaching her intended target Bel stops, pulling down her brother so they could survey the temple from behind a bush before they barreled in. The strangers were odd, she'd never seen any like them before. "Look Dar" she whispered to him and pointed at the nearest opening into the interior of the temple. She could see the largest male talking and then lifting a sword with a hand looking quite ready to attack. Now she wished she had more then just her ability to speak to the mind of another for a power, she'd have to rely on everything else, wits, wings and ofc anything she could possibly find for a weapon.
