Selyna's ears perked to the sound ahead, before she saw her masters warning. Raising mental barriers, so as to not give away her masters true identity, she moved closer to her master and continued her course, putting on a nonchalant act as she continued. Fixing her red halter top and blue jeans, she tossed her hair again and swished her tail to and fro, ready to face whatever was up ahead.

Ka'rinth paused as he saw the figure on the ground, his hackles were immediately up as it caught the figures scent. It was subtle and in some ways not there which made him very edgy, there also seemed to be.... something else. Suddenly, Ka'rinth shifted to his human form and drew both of his bone katana's and held them back handed. Be careful, something about that is wrong. As he spoke Ka'rinth gathered his power about him and prepared for the worst. He had remained without a body for too long for all of his instincts and racial memories to be intact. However the creature lying on the ground had triggered a series of memories that made him edgy but were too indistinct for him to know why.

Shocked by her masters usual calm demeanor becoming urgent, Selyna quickly drew her Kris knife even as he spoke and charged different parts of her body, also prepared for the worst, though a bit unsure of what to expect judging by Ka'rinth's reaction. Her face gave no sign of her true feelings as she regarded their opponent, on the contrary, her extensive training shown through, giving her the appearance of indifference.

Eclipse sighed at it's prey's words and sat up suddenly with it's back to them. Hmmmm, much the pity when others don't cooperate. Well, never mattered before, won't now. As it spoke it's head tilted back to regard them and continued tilting until it was actually looking back with what looked like a broken neck. It stood slowly without taking it's black eyes with traces of red and gold off of the two. In an instant it was moving towards the two with it's black form seeming to take on a fluid quality which made it's every shift seem effortless. It planned to charge and stop a bare five feet from Ka'rinth at which point it would return it's head to it's natural position before rotating it one hundred eighty degrees to stare again at the source of the dark energy that had drawn it.
Ka'rinth's eyes flared even as his blades were brought up in a defensive gesture and the katana in his right hand was flipped to a fore hand grip even as a bone blade emerged backwards from his radius. He prepared to strike even as the creature stopped and decided to strike first. Suddenly a dozen sharpened wooden stakes would shoot from the ground beneath the creature in an effort to impale it.

Only Selyna's eyes gave away her startled reaction to the strange creature's behavior. Moving so that she stood almost directly in front of Ka'rinth, Selyna knew better than to get in between her master and an enemy he wanted to himself, but stood ready to deflect any surprise attack the creature might try. Smirking slightly at her insight, she was just behind the wall of wood sent up by her master. Still ready to fight, she anticipated seeing how their opponent would behave.

Eclipse chuckled lightly even as it was lifted up on the spears of wood like a feather by an updraft. As the spears lifted it above head height it backflipped off of them to stand with it's back and face towards Ka'rinth and was only two feet away. Now, now, my dear. You smell familiar and use earth and dark magic? Who was your mother, I think you may be older than you appear, it's been some time since I've found one of the earth mage blood lines. Even as it spoke it's body seemed to twist in an instant and a six fingered hand shot out to grab Ka'rinth's throat as Eclipse was somehow facing Ka'rinth.
Ka'rinth had allowed himself to be distracted by the creature's words and was shocked as he was grabbed by the throat. He had never in his life or any of the others seen someone shapeshift so quickly or fluidly. He was not planning on being easy prey however. His left hand lashed out at the creatues neck with his katana angled in a diagonal slash at the carotid vein while his right stabbed the blade at the inside of it's elbow.

Shocked by how quickly the opponent moved, Selyna was not however distracted by his words, all she cared about was getting his hands off her masters throat. Charging the hand holding her kris knife and her left hand at the same time, she attempted to stab and/or grab the man's arm at the same time to get his hand off of Ka'rinth. All of her training had taught her to be able to keep all of her concentrated negery in the spot she touched the person only, giving her the free choice as to whether or not it spread out or not. In this case, it would not.

The bone blades would have no effect on the hard carapace that covered Eclipse, nor would the steel knife. If they could Eclipse would have been more than happy. The shock from the knife however did make the creature his as it lashed it's arm sideways and through Ka'rinth into Selyna.
Ka'rinth relaxed as he was jerked to the side as a way to protect himself from the impact. Even as he was thrown at Selyna though he didn't bother to worry about falling, he trusted her to catch him. He focused some of his dark energy from his captured souls into his hand and released it as a focused blast at the creature's face. As it shot out he also carged a second shot and fired it at the creature's torso but the second one was turned to holy energy as he released the souls first.

The elelctric charge was instantly dispersed as Selyna grabbed Ka'rinth in a way to not hinder him in any attack he may give, and sure enough he attacked with his energy. A bit disappointed that her elelctricity wasn't strong enough to cause any damage, Selyna wondered quickly what her punishment would be later. Hoping to distract the strange attacker, Selyna continued to hold Ka'rinth with one strong arm and threw her kris knife at the man, completely charged with energy as it was still attached to her hand by a stream of electricity. Aimed at the man's neck, she hoped to distract him and cause him to get hit by either Ka'rinth's blasts or her knife.

Eclipse opened his mouth widely and seemed to actually eat the dark energy shot at him. Three rows of fangs showed in a mouth that seemed to not end, until it was closed once more. It's eyes didn't even shift as the knife hit it or the electricity. However it winced and howled in pain as the holy energy hit it's carapace. It's inhuman howl was followed by a dark hiss that made shadow erupt from it's mouth and consume it before dispersing like smoke along with Eclipse.
Ka'rinth hissed as he regained his feet and looked around to try and gauge if the creature was gone or preparing a surprise attack. Grab your knife, we're going home the quick way. As he spoke all of his bones melted into his body without a mark and the katanas reappeared in their sheathes.

Snatching back the knife as she looked around, she replaced it in it's harness on her hip and quickly stood at his side prepared to flee with him or protect him. Her demeanor a bit sadder at her lack of help in the fight, she was determined to make her master proud and prove she was a skilled fighter. Biting down on her lip until it bled as a way of punishing herself, she sucked on her lip a bit as she waited for Ka'rinth's next move, her eyes and ears never letting down their guard.

Ka'rinth wrapped his aura around both Selyna and himself and shifted his awareness slightly so that they both melded with the ground. There was no sign of them save a retreating energy signature within seconds. After a short period that too disappeared.

*Ceres finishes off yet another good kill, she tosses the body of a drained demon to the ground* mmmm... I'm glad such blood was not wasted on the ground... *she licks her lips clean of blood, slumping against a tree and she tilts her head up with a sigh, she closes her eyes and twists a lock of her hair between her fingers*

*kicking off her boots Ceres lays out on the grass, her stomach is to the ground and her arms are crossed out infront of her, she sets her head on her arms and closes her eyes again, to feel the wind again, to smell things again... yes this is why she was alway fighting to be free of kaiori's body*

Verge was tired of sitting in the same spot by his closed out cave and got up. He crossed the stream and entered the forest on the other side of the water. He unsheathed Fury, though not because he needed to wield his blade, more of just to hold it. To feel it and to have it feel him. The blade and Verge were connected and therefore Verge felt like it was an extra limb. Verge casually twirled the blade around in his right hand. Though he did it casually the blade moved in swift arcs and curves that only an expert could manage with such ease. At one point verge even tossed the blade into the air and was able to do three back handsprings before it came down and he caught it without even looking up. He just held out his hand and the blade fell into it, hilt first. From there he was able to continue his twirling. It wasn't before long Verge came upon the body of a very familiar person. He smirked.
"Lady Ceres....what a very pleasant surprise."
Verge could tell she was asleep. He grinned and his fangs glinted in the night. His gold and gray eyes twinkled mischieviously and he strode silently towards her. He took a seat next to her head and smiled almost fondly at the face beneath him. He took his hand and ran it down her cheek. Then with the same hand he withdrew Impurity without a sound. The barrel of the pistol was placed against the temple of her sleeping head. Verge was caught in a fit of silent chuckles. He cocked the hammer back.
"Bang, bang....Hehehe...."
Verge put his finger on the trigger and was about to squeeze when his thumb pushed up on the hammer and uncocked the gun. He smirked and was caught in another silent fit of chuckles. He spun the gun very fast in the palm of his hand and placed it back into it's holster in his jacket. He smirked again and ran his hand against her cheek, whispering very softly as he did.
"Sleep tight Ceres....because Verge Zenith is back, and I garuntee, even you will have trouble sleeping with my return."
Verge leaned down and kissed her head, taking a whiff of her hair as he did. She smelled nice. Clean yet he knew she was dirty inside. He smirked one last time then stood up. His coat billowed around his legs as he turned away from her. He dropped somthing that landed right next to her face. It was a flower. A flower with black and white petals and a crimson pistil. The stem was full of thorns. It was a new breed of flower, a mix between roses and death lilies. He called them Zenithians. Verge stalked off into the forest leaving the sleeping Ceres next to his Zenithian.
