Welcome to Gaia! ::

A figure walked through the woods, quiet, practically blending into the brush. Her feet were bare, letting her feel the ground beneath her feet. She smiled, showing fangs, then she leaned down before leaping high into the trees. She crouched on a branch that supported her weight and sighed.

Blue eyes glowed lightly in the shadows before closing. A low growl came from her as she grew more frustrated with her own boredom. She felt so alive, but too cooped up, like she didn't have a purpose anymore. She had avenged her family, her mate, and her friends and now she was left with nothing to do but walk around silently, moodily.

She had no desire to return to her own lands, to rule, no desire to go back to the ones that had been so easily decieved. ~Let them rought~ she thought to herself, with slight amusement in her expression filled eyes. She could imagine what the council was going through, panic probably, without her they would have no heir to become king and most likely the people would have to govern themselve.

She sighed and then reclined back on her tree limb, then grinned from ear to ear.

~Maybe it was time.~ The woman thought. ~Time to move on.~

She pouted stubbornly and shook her head to clear it of the thought and rolled, falling from her branch, landing in a crouch, before standing upright. She glanced to the left of her and walked through the brush and soon found herself standing in a small clearing, a tree near the center. She walked quietly over and placed a hand on the tree, then smiled.

~Home.~ she thought.

She set her sword aside, then her arrows and her bow, keeping them in range. She then used her pack as a pillow and layed down, staring up at the stars. She sighed as it grew colder, it wasn't like it bothered her. . .it was more of a reminder.

She closed her eyes.

CSK: *Had been tropping through the forest everyday for the past few days, since Aria had left supposedly for New York but she had returned a few hours ago pale and shaking. He kept walking when a heavy thud reached his ears not far off. He turned and bounded off in that direction as fast as his tiny legs could carry him. He reached the object that made the sound and froze, it was Phia. He walked over to her and looked her over, she was dead. The furry black form of CSK gave way to the black haired, green-eyed, black clothed form of Erike. He picked up Phi's body and cradled it in her arms, rocking gently.* Oh God Phi... I'm I'm so sorry...*After several momentsl, he stood up with her in his arms and walked back to the Black Company.*

Unbeknownst to Kuro, she wasn't the only one who was feeling the emotion Rage. Verge had just reappeared in a bright flash of blue flames at his old waterfall home. That woman, Ceres, and the entire town of Hathus had driven Verge over the edge. He'd been tested before, though this time had brought him to his boiling point. Verge NEEDED to release this anger. He was breathing hard and his body had forced a faster regeneration rate, making the wholes in his chest and other places disappear. He bared his fangs and the blue flames swirling about his body raged. Verge's growls began to grow louder, until finally they were roars of anger and frustration. Years of hatred, anger, frustration, pain, suffering, depression and death flooded into Verge. His eyes, which were normally gray and gold, became a solid black with two white spots for irises. He roared again and let his flames run wild.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

The blue flames that had been surrounding his body expanded. Verge literally became the core of an inferno, his blue flames spreading out in a dome-like wave. The trees were turned to ash on contact and the water coming from his waterfall was instantly evaporated into steam which dispersed quite rapidly from the heat. The whole dome of fire expanded for a near 6 mile radius, incinerating all in it's path. If anyone had a scientific thermometer they'd find that Verge's flames would read in at approximately 3500 degrees Kelvin. Thats the surface of a Red Star. The ground became charred and dead. Verge's fit ceased and his blue flames disappated. Trees were burning though, only those 6 miles away. He was weakened. Verge took a seat on the charred earth. He let out a heavy sigh.

"Atleast I feel better..."

He gave a slight chuckle and smirked as he fell onto his back. He was so weak. He'd need some time to recover. And although Verge had this kind've power, he knew he'd hit his peak. He could feel it. Any hotter and he may've been unable to control it. He'd be consumed by his flames. It did, however, ease his mind. He felt with these flames he'd be strong enough for just about anything.

"Soon...soon I'll be ready to teach them all the lesson they deserve to learn...."

Verge laid his head back against the ground he'd destroyed and closed his eyes. He'd just rest for awhile.

Verge sat up slowly. He blinked and then rubbed his eyes. He looked around and slowly what had happened came back to him. He smirked slightly though Cere's getting away still managed to piss him off. He got to his feet and brushed the ashes and dirt off his coat and pants. He looked around and surveyed his damage. The forest had some managed to put out the fires Verge had started. He shrugged slightly. Time had been forgotten. He wondered how long he'd been out. It was dark but that didn't mean a thing most times. He coulda been out a week for all he knew, though he doubted it. He did, however, know he was hungry.

"Hmm...where can I get a bite to eat?"

[ Message temporarily off-line ]

Verge sat up in the branches of a large tree. He had moved to a different part of the forest, the dead part he destroyed wasn't very fun anymore. He had just finished wiping blood off his face. He had raided another town and found the children there to be quite delectible. There had been this one girl, couldn't have been older then 6. She was wearing pig tails. Verge shivered as he recounted the carnage. It was beautiful, like a painting. Except this painted had used blood for it's paint. Verge heard movement below and watched as Ceres was walking towards the tree he was in. Verge smirked. This would be fun. He got into a crouched posistion and cupped his hands around his mouth. He threw his voice and made it echo so she wouldn't be able to locate him.

"Ah, Ceres, we meet again. How quaint. You look ill. What's the matter? Not sick are we?"

Verge smirked. He was right. She did look sick. Or atleast she looked like somthing was ailing her. Regardless, he'd kill her anyway. Verge stood up very slowly and carefully. Then with the speed and agility of a cat, he leaped and flipped in the air. He landed behind Ceres and quickly unholstered Impurity and unsheathed Fury simultaneously. He aimed the gun at the back of her head and placed the point of the blade on the back of her neck.

"So how do you want it? Decapitation or a bullet to the head. Oh, and this time should the bullet hit; there won't be a head for it to pop out of. Exploding rounds. You understand."
