Welcome to Gaia! ::

She smiled warmly to the girl as she tilted her head to the side, her arm dropping quickly as if to hide the fact that she was hurt. "A more pleasureable moment under difficult situation but a pleasure none the less. I am Niima."

She blinked when suddenly the woman shot out fire. Blue fire. Niima at first freaked and stepped back before darting forward and standing in front of the woman. "M..Miss Ichigo. That might not be a good idea. We don't know if Taizen told them you where a firebenders and it could..well..make them nervous. For now I ask that you keep your bending skills under wing until I've had time to talk to the Master Dyn and explain to him that you are friends.."


Her mind wheeled on how to explain to the two riding with Taizen about the firebursts. Oi. She looked up and smiled as Guardian decended. Landing with a thud the feline marched right over and nearly toppled her over just trying to nuzzle against her side. She chuckled and ruffled the tuff around the feline's neck. "You did good Guardian. Hope you went easy on Taizen."

(that's it. im posting.)

Fulgar lay on the cool soil beneath the roof that had been placed over his head. His eyes were fogged over as he stared blankly into the dirt. Deep intake of breath could be heard, and each exhale sounded strained and painful. His mouth was dry as a desert the buds of his tongue were pricked up.

Deep shivers ran through his body as he thought of what happened. A being seperate from himself... Cain, he said his name was Cain. He smelled of ash his voice was a mirror of Fulgar's own. He didnt know the laws of his own mind, he was beaten down in a world that he had no control over. He'd been struck with inhuman strength.

His eyes drooped as he fell into sleep, he would have to answer questions later, but now he needed sleep.

She made a motion with her right palm, ushering the people Taizen brought to the earth-created tent. She turned her attention to Taizen, smiling tiredly. "He's fine. He needs rest and a warm place to lay his head. Your healing did very well..are...you alright?" she asked with a light toned voice as she leaned into Guardian somewhat. Phew..she should of really gotten sleep. But then again she didn't know all this would of happened. In fact..she figured ..boat ride. Plenty of time to snooze..

She watched from the corner of her eyes as the people with the stretcher gently prepped him while working around Kurai. They did their best not to startle the girl as they tucked Niima's wrap about Fulgar and turned him onto the strecher. As they started towards the Bison, one of the benders lowered their end of the stretcher then climbed aboard the bison while. The other prepared to bend a bit of the earth to rise both himself and Fulgar up to the bison's back as painlessly as possible. The firebender gal and the earthbender lad where ushered to the other bison as all was prepared to leave.

Her attention focused fully on Taizen as he asked why she thought otherwise. The mood darkened her face as she got ready to fuss at him, her concern showing. "Why? Good grief Taizen, it looked like you where going to pass out that's why I am asking. It took alot out of you..so yeah I am a bit worried about you. It's amazing you where able to heal so much of that terrible wound, don't get me wrong. I am sure Taikai would be proud.."

That dark mood swept off as he asked of her own well being. A nervous lil chuckle was given as she clasped her hands behind her back, hiding her elbow behind her. "I'm okay. I got a few scrapes from when I was riding Guardian. He decided to follow you on the slope but couldn't stop ..we both went for a tumble..." She left the rest to his imagination. "But yeah, I am exhausted. I didn't..sleep much. I wasn't expecting all this to happen. I just thought we would be on the boat by now.."

She blinked and brows quickly lowered. "Taizen..maybe I should take Guardian and go find Taikai. He's still out there and alone. With someone attacking people out here....I am worried. Plus he needs to be informed of our returning to the temple.."

"Well, tomorrow, if you'd like, we can leave in the morning, so that you can sleep better. We were leaving tomorrow anyway..." Taizen began, fulgar passed by him, and Taizen gave the firebender a side-glance. "I'm sorry..." Taizen's eyes widened a bit, "What? He knew that I had tried to heal him? He knew that I was in pain?! Was it... Perhaps he... A suicide attempt?" "eh, um, well, Taikai is a master, he can handle himself... Aside from that he might be at the temple as we speak, I didn't have much time to look around." He commented, he really wasnt worried about Taikai, Taikai was better than him, and he wasn't afraid of whatever had attacked the firebender... But now he was thinking that the firebender might not have been attacked... "But.... If you want, we can stay a little while and watch his improvement before we leave."

(This one is chock full of references I’m underlining them all for you to name later. If you can name them all PM me and ill give you 500g.)

His eyes shuttered and he fell back into his sleep. As black as night his pupils dilated as light exploded from around him, there stood Cain with that sadistic grin, his eyes now fully open and unblinking, he’d most likely heard Fulgar’s apology to Taizen for his pain because something in those light blue eyes told him that much.
Unbearable isn’t it? The suffering of strangers, the agony of friends.
The demon before him stated it with such a smug, proud façade. Absolutely disgusting. Fulgar kept his eyes on him, who knew what kind of mind games he played, they may have been born of the same flesh and blood but this thing seemed more like it was born from the dark in the black cloak of night rather than from Fulgar’s mind.
Unbearable. He repeated it, the sweet taste of defeat like ashes in your mouth.

A storm is coming “Fu-san” Fulgar hated it, he mocked him by using the nickname a friend gave him, especially souring was that he dared say it, welling hate grew in Fulgar his fist clenched. In a pained voice shaking with pure rage he asked What kind of storm? He almost host it wouldn’t answer him. It could feel his anguish as it smirked at him its blue eyes ripping through his flesh and tearing at his bone. Sweet suffering. The storm is me, dear boy, a war is coming everyone knows it I will escape my hell your role as the herder will end and I will be free to devour your world.

Fulgar shook from the taunts that were being thrown at him; his knuckles were white with the fury coursing through him. He didn’t only want to kill Fulgar, he wanted to kill everything. Cain smiled wider than ever only adding to the appearance of dementia that the hard lines and sunken cheeks didn’t already show. Do you want to take a swing at me? this question made Fulgar laugh, who wouldn’t? The being before him was infuriating! I’d like to take a big swing at you

Fulgar swung at his face to miss and find the creature behind him. He made short clicks with his tongue mocking him again, you never learn, do you? I am untouchable here, I do whatever I please in this place he kicked Fulgar hard in the ribs to prove his point further, he knew every secret there was to know about the confines of his jail, of Fulgar’s mind.

Cain disappeared from Fulgar’s view, only to reappear seconds later in front of Fulgar bent over backwards with his stomach facing upwards and blood pouring from his mouth. Fulgar gasped and he was awake cold air rushing past his face as he flew back to the temple on the back of a bison.

(im giving away the reference but here is the footage for the spiderwalk thing if you need it: spiderwalk the exorcist)

She knew that Taizen was just trying to make her feel better. She knew well no wolf-bat could of made such a wound. She chuckled softly when she heard him fuss at Guardian. "So you won't be riding with us..seeing how the bisons have already left.." She pointed out when she noted that everyone had mounted up and left ahead of herself and Taizen. Guardian began to trot off after Taizen, apparently the feline and the airbender not leaving his side regardless of what he wanted. "We could fly..it would be faster to find your teacher.."

When the bisons did get to the temple, a elderly old man was there to greet them. Fulgar was brought to an already preped room where his wounds where cleaned and professionally tended to in a warmed envoirment. The female firebender and the earthbender where each given their own rooms as well. A young earth refugee made sure that if they needed anything like food or drink, she would get it for them.
