Aiketh stepped into the Lord's office, inclining her head in respect for a moment, then nodded it back up, ignoring the strand of deep blue hair that fell into her eyes.
"Lord Jett," she began, "I have received word of increased demon activity along our northeast coasts. Some attacks have occured as far south and inland as Rimune, although the majority of them are centered in the old Hyuray province. Troops stationed along the Faerie Forest and the western coast report that Kainaldia still shows no new signs of habitation, and I am as of yet gathering information on whether this new chain of attacks are connected, or if their near-simultanious occurence is merely a coincidence."

((o.O;;; Far south? Rimune? >.> Sweetie have you looked on the map upside down? Rimune lies in the now old Memphis Kingdom. <.<;;;; It's very far north from Draqueen's point of view I would say.
Well, Manda, what side is he on? The youkai I would persume, or?))

((Huh. There's not a lot on the side of the youkai ... XDDD Guess I'll stick Nash on that side. I might make another character later, to be a Knight ^^))
Nashorme ran out of the gates of the small town, clutching a bag of random stolen items to his chest, under his cloak. Several men with badges that identified them as the local law chased after him, yelling. He glanced over his shoulder, then dove under cover of the trees, dropping his illusion of being fully human as he did so.
He ran for a few more paces until he came to a small clearing and then snapped his wings open, launching himself up and into the air. He laughed quietly as he burst into the open sky from the canopy ... another sucessful run. He used to only steal out of necessity, but over the weeks and months, it had started to become fun. Fun to outwit the law, the over-rich merchants, sometimes the leader of a village who had horded too much and given too little.
Suddenly, something whistled by him in the air. Startled, he glanced behind and down. Damn! They had archers! >< My reputation must have spread... He flew faster, swooping from side to side until he was out of range.
However, in doing so, he happened to fly off in a direction he had never gone before. Just then, one of the archers got lucky and he felt one arrow rip through a wing. Biting back a scream of pain, he began to fall. The arrow was still stuck in his wing, making it heavy and nearly un-useable but he did manage something which was not quite a crash. Then he yanked the arrow out, glaring from it to the not-so-neat hole in his wing.
"Great," he muttered, "just great." It would heal, but it would take a couple of days, the edges ragged and flapping now. It didn't really hurt as much now , but he couldn't fly again until it did heal. Holding onto the arrow so it wouldn't be found and lead them closer to him, he slipped away through the forest, soon becoming completely lost.
Eventually, he pushed aside some branches and blinked up at the ruins of a rather sinister-looking castle. There seemed to be some kind of moat around it, filled with ... mist? He crept a bit closer, curious.
((Mmmk ... in case you didn't catch the hint XD He's managed to stumble upon the Demon Lord's (Lady's? XD) castle. So ^^ Someone notice him! And just to note, I'm guessing the dead souls are gone now, so the mist is only mist...))

"Who are you?" A pair of red piercing eyes came from within the castle ruins, looking to the odd creature of which had stumbled upon the old ruins of the anicent youkai castle. Stepping from the shadows, he was just a lone youkai scout sent from the Youkai Lady to search the castle for anything useful her grandfather might have hidden there.

At about the same time in Arinas... "Kanak, what are you reading?" Golden eyes blinked at the youkai sitting with a large tome in his hands.
Looking up to meet the dragon's eyes he closed the book and held it up. "This? Just something I found in a castle ruin about 150 years ago." He said with a shrug.
((Hint hint. XDDD;;;; *couldn't resist* Her adoptive father/big brother is too funny, I just had too. He's like that, one point minus for the Dragon Tribe and one point minus for the Youkai. XD;;;; ))

LunaChapel "Who are you?" A pair of red piercing eyes came from within the castle ruins, looking to the odd creature of which had stumbled upon the old ruins of the anicent youkai castle. Stepping from the shadows, he was just a lone youkai scout sent from the Youkai Lady to search the castle for anything useful her grandfather might have hidden there. He looked up as he climbed out of the moat on the other side, startled. Instinctively, he started to jump away from the semi-steep dirt "wall", then remembered his torn wing. So he clung there, staring upward.
Then, he suddenly smirked. "Who wants to know?" Might as well play this confidently ...

A slight growl came from the scout. 'insabordinate fool'. "Since I am here on behalf of the Youkai Lady. Consider it her request."

He raised one brow, seemingly ignorant of the precarious position he was in. "An' who's she?" This, he really didn't know. He'd heard some stories as a child about a Youkai LORD, but he was dead, right?

"The child of the prevous Youkai Lord and prevous owner of this ruined castle of which you play on." He replied.

Nash glanced down into the mist and then back up. "You call this playing?" His claws were dug into the dirt near the top of the moat, feet perched precariously on a couple of small rocks.

The scout floated up, with a little difficulty due to the lack of maigck and floated next to the creature. "Indeed. Playing."

He twisted his head around, keeping the scout in sight, ears twitching a bit nervously. "And what does she care what I'm doing here? Place's obviously abandoned ..."

"But none the less, it is still her property, and since you are climbing on it, you are trespassing." He said, getting slightly agrivated since he hadnt found anything yet and this thing was keeping him from escavating the ruins.
