Elgarez placed his right hand upon Usrah's shoulder after he set Tyr back onto her feet. He then turned to Shiango and touched his chin as if thinking. He snapped his fingers, signaling he found an answer.
"Okay, you're a young guy, so let me break this down for you. First off, you're just some punk kid with a watered-down demonic heritage. Usrah and I have been kickin' the snot outta your family for generations, quite easily, I might add. Secondly, I witnessed the death of Eva, and I personally found it poetic. Her death gave him a personal reason to destroy freaks like you, not like those other do-gooders who fight for fame and glory. Usrah's the real deal and don't you forget it. As for myself, my pure soul has eliminated the pain of those who I have known who died. I remember their lives and I do not dwell on their deaths for I know they reside in the Heavens."
He paused for a moment, taking his hand off of Usrah.
"Now then, if you know so much, you must be aware that the Holy Gods favor my existance and have rewarded me with divine gifts. Your power is nothing compared to mine and I think you know it. You may rule the shadows, but I am the light that eliminates your pathetic darkness. And just because I am an Enlightened Being doesn't mean I won't kick your a**."
He clinched his hand into a fist as it crackled with electricity and burned with holy flames.
"Now, we can do this one of two ways. You can get your disgusting, weak, idiotic, pit-spawned, Ve-thinger-majigger self out of my sight or Usrah and I will use that technique and, trust me, you don't want to choose the second."
Elgarez, throughout the insults dealt by Shiango and his own serious speech, kept a smile upon his face.

[I hadn't really thought of that Nightwind. I guess I would have to say she dropped it.]

Shiango started laughing as if there was no tomorrow.
"You are amusing, and no I don't come to taunt you, I come to see what I am up against. As for you doggy man, I couldn't care less if you are the creature that lights the world. I already knew all that about you, you didn't need to tell me a second time. I wasn't expecting any reactions, and I didn't get any as I thought."
He smirked.
"Your threats won't scare me off. I may just be some young punk to you old geezers, and you may think I have watered down blood, but by that you are wrong. Yes my ancestors were like that, but I have unlocked many secrets, and my blood is pure without any watering down."
He took the beast closer to the group to show he wasn't afraid to fight them.
"Oh and you think me disgusting, weak, idiotic, and pit-spawned do you? Well I can't say I deny the last one, because after all, I do come from the pits of the shadow realm, just like all other demonic creatures. But the other three, that is a bit pathetic to say I am that, you barely know me. I am nothing like the rest of my family. Oh, and you can go ahead and use that technique. But it won't have any effect, I won't say why, I might just let you find out for yourself."
Shiango was not at all afraid. He was finding this whole situation amusing, and was looking forward to fighting the group in the end. Especially the old geezers.

Flint nodded to Ashe, following her out of the area.
Something about that guy made him very uneasy.
As soon as they where out of earshot, he spoke. "Son of a b***h, sending those monsters after us. If he's all high and mighty, why doesn't he take us on himself?" he said in a low voice.
They approached the horses and he led one of them up to a fallen tree so he could get on easily.
"So, whats the plan, do we wait here or head over to them?" he asked, looking at the back of the horses head with a bit of concern. This horsemanship stuff was all new to him.

Luniya's eyes grew wide at Shiango's words. She looked at Elgarez and Usrah and was suprised that they almost killed off an enitre blood-line. If she was able to use both her hands she would have gave them applause. "What a weak family you must have had Shiango," she said with a smirk. "You should be proud that you claim to be so strong, from such a weak family." She ran her fingers through her hair. Why does everyone want to fight all the time. Fighting can be such a waste sometimes. But boys will be boys, I guess. Luniya sighed loudly, hoping that Sorrow was okay and not being abused or anything of the sort.

"Because he is either afraid of fighting us by himself, or he's testing us." Ashe helped Flint onto one of the horses, careful to keep downwind of it. "My guess is that he is testing us, and I don't like it." She then noticed something on the ground. It was Sorrow's lute. She walked over and picked it up, inspecting it for damage. She saw none and strung it to her pack. I'll hold on to this for you, Sorrow. She then grabbed the reins of the horses and started back to the rest of the group. "We should go to them. Lin and Luniya look like they have seen better days, so does the other girl." Ashe kept a tight hold on the pack horse, while Lin's horse and tiger followed silently along. "You alright up there, Flint?"

Seeing Shiango, Rok sighed again.
~Why?~ he thought, shaking his head. Still holding his axe, he started to speak just loud enough for everyone to hear, but in his own language.
#Stop this. Stop this, all of you. And you, Shiango! Go back to where you came from. You have no need to be here!# he snarled. The only word that could be understood was Shiango's name.
Serisaria watched through Liuwei's eyes and frowned. This Shiango fellow might get to her next prey before she could. Muttering threats to him under her breath, she held up her bow and aimed at Shiango with Liuwei's guidance. But she did not let the arrow fly yet.

Quietly Tyr listened to all of the threats and insults being flung back and forth as she walked over to retrieve Ferghall from the ground, craddling him in both arms gently. The situation currently didn't feel dangerous, but that didn't mean that it couldn't change. She frowned as she listened to more insults being flung at the demonic being, and then Rok started yelling; she had no idea what he was saying, but she was worried it just might be more insults.
Though it would probably paint her badly for awhile in their eyes, Tyr didn't quite yell so everyone could hear her, but she spoke up loud enough that at least a few nearby would., "Look, most of us are too tired to fight this guy anyway. We should probably consider ourselves lucky he hasn't decided to wipe the floor with us while we're too weak to defend ourselves and just accept his generous gift of more time for us to heal and get stronger..." It only occured to her after she had said it that maybe this Shiango might decide now that he should wipe the floor with them.
Nah, I highly doubt it. Guys like this are always way too confident in themselves. Ferghall assured her, slumped against her with eyes closed but his mind still wide awake. I'll just hope you're right for now. Tyr replied back to him, cracking a slight smile. If Ferghall was alright enough for him to sound that self-assured then he would probably heal up just fine before too long.

Elgarez put his hands upon his hips and chuckled.
"Old geezers? We're in better shape than you are. But, from what you've told us, you already know that."
He could only sarcastically nod his head at Shiango's last comments.
"Well, yeah. I'm pretty sure everything in the known multi-verse finds you disgusting, weak, and idiotic, like most creatures from the shadow realm. Think about it, if they all claim to be so much better, how come they always get beaten? And I say that you calling me pathetic is truly pathetic of yourself, considering you know so much about us that you'd have to go so slow as to lie to us and yourself."
Elgarez looked over at Usrah when Shiango mentioned the technique. The two shrugged, obviously confused by his statement.
"Okay, now we know you're bluffing. But, that's okay, because it would be best if you weren't afraid."
He smiled, knowing that this kid did not really know much of anything. He would have to prove it.

Tyr frowned serverly and actually twitched she was so annoyed; twitched! Why does no one ever listen to me? She growled in an annoyed sounding tone inside of her own mind, gorlwing slightly under her breath outside her mind as well. You're the one who likes being invisable, this is merely a result of that. Ferghall replied with a mental snicker.
Unfourtunately for the fox this only upset Tyr more, but seeing as hpow he was hurt, Tyr didn't lash out at him, no.... She lashed out at the current source of her frustration: Elgarez.
She whirled around to glare daggers at Elgarez and thumped him on the shoulder., not even caring at the moment that she had actually come in contact with someone. "Stop provoking him!" Tyr hissed at him, curling both hands into fists and slamming them down at her sides, managing to bounce herself and her chest at the same time.

Flint nodded. "I don't like it either, just one more thing dogging me. First it was authorities and guards, then that weird creature we fought near the town, and now this guy. And the worst part is I can't help much." he said, trying to wrestle the horse onto the path.
When it didn't respond, Flint used his mage hand spell,which had more force than he had.
"No, not really, but I'll be fine" he said truthfully when Ashe asked him if he was ok.

Rok leaped into action, grabbing Tyr and dragging her back.
"Not now," he said, quietly and sternly. Holding her by her arms, he stepped back away from Elgarez. He was just as annoyed as she was, but lashing out at others wouldn't do them much good.
"I heard what you said, and I fully agree with you. But this lashing out at others? What will it accomplish?" he asked her, his horns catching a glint in the sun.

Unable to surpress her scream this time, Tyr let out a short screech that was very high pitched and actually managed to scare even herself, which just made her stop screaming all the quicker. "Sorry, no offense to you... I just don't like being touched..." She apologized quickly, smiling a bit nervously at the flash of light on his horns. "I'm sorry, again... I'm not normally so... I'm normally more... I don't act this way," She sighed, frowning and looking down at Ferghall craddled in her arms. "I guess I'm just a little... upset..." Tyr rubbed one of the fox's ears, then gulped hard and tried not to cry.

Flint rode up to the group, attempting to slow the horse down.
Because he didn't know what he was doing, he ended up messing it up.
Badly.
The horse did a full circle before shooting off past the group deeper into the forest.
"HOLY CRAP!" Flint shouted, turning the horse back around and managing to stop it this time, nearly running into Ashe and the horses she was leading.
Flint pushed some hair out of his face, grinning maniacally. "Cool." he said simply.

Elgarez turned and smiled at Tyr.
"Don't worry, my little half-elf friend. Shiango here won't start a fight. Vethinger's are, well were, a proud family and they especially like to be known. Think of this as an introduction of sorts."
-----
Usrah nodded and glanced at Tyr.
"It is true. I have been fighting the Vethingers for over 9000 years and they all pull the same act sooner or later."
