Welcome to Gaia! ::

Amaria let out a breath of air. Really, was this what she expected from 'gods'? The very same 'gods' that most Fighters cowered at the mention of? At the moment, she was a bit tired.

It was all that walking. I'm sure of it. Seeing too many trees for too long has gotten to my head.

She glanced up at Alucard, bouncing along on Sonney's shoulders. At his face, she scowled and stuck her tongue out. So much for being a mature adolescent.

Yet, it was comical, how, at this moment, she was in the prescense of two gods and wasn't trying to defend her life. No, she was listening to a laid back conversation while another fighter and another god nearby dueled to the death.

Turning her head to glance at them, she winced at the crack of bark and tree as the Fighter crashed into an elm. Maybe, it would be kind of her to intervene. She glanced at the man, the fighter, who was fighting. Looking over his appearance once more, she decided that he was one who was less likely to need or ask, in that fact, appreciate, any outside help.

The voice of a young man withdrew her attention and replaced it with the Fighter who had just arrived with the god. At his voice, Mari figured that he was trying to involve her in the conversation that she was currently not taking part in. This day just kept getting stranger by the minute.

Looking at the boy, she smiled. It was natural for her. "Never met a fighter with a god for a partner. But . . . I guess there's a first time for everything." She laughed and ran her fingers through her hair, a habit she took up whenever she was nervous. Still smiling, she held her hand out to be polite.

"The name's Amaria, Amaria Nox. But . . . you can call me Mari. It's easier to remember." Blowing dark strands of hair away from her face, she glanced at the fighting duo before turning back to Angel. "Now, I need some advice. Personally, I don't think it'd be wise for me to just hop into this fight here. But I'm starting to think this guy might need a little bit of an intervention any time soon." She laughed, decreasing the severity of her question as her attention turned back to the fight.

Christian shook Mari's outstretched hand calmly and glanced at the fight before sarcastically responding to her first statements, "He's a God? I never knew!" He smiled and released her hand. Then he turned back to the fight.
"I'm not sure either of them wants help," He paused, "Besides, why risk your life for someone you don't know?" Although, he knew the reason. Fighters don't leave each other to die, usually. "You know, scratch that. If you think it's right to help him, you should go and help, just make sure you aren't expecting thanks later." A worried look spread across his face when the fighter took the stance. It had tons of holes in it and could be broken easily if he wasn't careful.

((sorry, im gonna be gone the rest of the day, or most of it at least, again sorry. I should be gone the least considering that I made the RP sweatdrop ))

Sonney knelt down, trying to get Alucard off his head so that he could talk with the young lady that his partner seemed to be getting along with.
*-*-*-*-*-*
Christian did as Mari did and turned back to the fight, watching as it progressed as most fights do. Both fighters are on equal ground, standoff, all that.

Mari glanced over at Alucard and rolled her eyes. For a god, he really was an immature bugger. But she couldn't say much. She had her moments too. Looking up at the sky, she gasped in surprise.

"Oh dear." She hadn't realized it had gotten so late. They weren't going to be happy when she showed up. Fidgeting, Mari glanced over at the fight. Her conscience didn't want to let her leave. Not when the fight was still up for grabs. Distracted and flustered by her loss of time, Mari turned to Angel, Sonney, and Alucard.

"Uhmmm . . . it was really nice meeting you guys. I would stay, just to make sure I wasn't needed, but . . . uhm . . . I seem to have run out of time. Really, I'm sure I'll run into you guys some other time. Blessings on you." Waving abruptly at the trio, Mari suddenly yanked her blade out of the ground and dashed off.

Her father used to tell her she ran like a nymph. A skill that had gotten her out of several jams as a child. As she ran back through the woods now, she wondered silently what the gods would have thought if they knew why she was in such a hurry.

Today was certainly a strange day, and she was on her way to stranger things. Hopefully, she thought, they won't find it of mind to follow me. I'm not sure how they'd take it if they found out what I was looking for. And hopefully, her abrupt departure hadn't given them any reason to be skeptical.

She was on the road from earlier now, heading towards the town of Farandforth. It was only another ten minutes before she would reach it.

((Sorry for absence, exams in school))
Mallik charged and swung his sword at waist height horazontally. Dimitri lept and spun, twisting himself to lay horzantlly in mid air before coming back down and landing crouched. He stuck his sword into the ground stepped onto the handle and pushed sending himself airborne, out of the hole were his ring finger was missing a blade slide out. Mallik had spun using the momentum from the swing to make his next one more powerful, by this time Dimitri was already airbourne. Mallik brought the blade in a upwards diagonal slash. Dimitri landed on Mallik and punche forword aiming to slam his blade into mallik's face. mallik twisted his head, Dimitri's blade just skimmed the surface drawing a ever so small bit of blood. Mallik brought his right fist up and slammed it Dimitri's gut sending him flying backwards. Dimitri spun in mid air landed on his feet and kept slidding back, he leaned forword and dug into the dirt with his right hand. he came to a stop and looked at the hidden blade. "huh...guess gods do bleed..." He muttered, a single drop of blood dripped from the tip of his hidden blade.

"get off my back, literally" He said. "I can't get my armor on if your on my back...unless you'd rather experiance a great amount of pain".

Mallik raised his sword and twisted it the flats pointing up and down, rune emblems glowed along the blade. Slowly shadows began to crawl up from the ground along mallik's body until he was covered. Cracks of red formed then peices of shadow flew off until att that was left, was Mallik in his armor. "you fought well...but how can you beat me in this state" malliksaid, he smirked inside his helmet, all over his armor spots of scarlet still clung, the reminants of the fighters he had recently killed. He began to spin the blade slowly at first then it began to pick up speed. He tossed it up into the air the caught it and spun it by the cord he threw it, the blade spinning rapidly, make a sound similair to a buzzsaw as it moved.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Altair looked at the armored figure then to his little hidden blade. "...damn..." he muttered. then he heard the strangest sound, looked up at saw a spinning blade headed stright at him. He rolled, the blade skimming his leg slightly drawing blood. he knelt and looked at mallik you missed. Mallik just chuckled evily"...what's so..." the sound came from behind Dimitri he didn't need to look to know what it was. he jumped flipping backwards, the moment he touched the ground mallik appeared infront of him and slammed his armored fist into Dimitri's chest sending Dimitri flying, this time when he slammed into a tree, a large crack ran along the tree. mallik was strong without the armor, but with it on he was probally the most physically stongest of the gods. Dimitri doubled over and fell onto a knee, he coughed up blood, he gasped for air well coughing at the sametime.

"You know..you were much more challenging without my armor...in fact I'd go as far as saying your easier then taking on those five fighters I killed a little while ago, you probally heard the scream when someone found the bodies, you didn't see them did you?...it was alfully messy" he looked down at his armor."'I'm gonna be cleaning all day before all the blood comes off" he said smirking. His sword came back around and he caught it. he walked over and slammed his right elbow into the back of Dimitri's head knocking him to the ground. Dimitri clutched the back of his head and rolled around onto his back. mallik brought his armored foot down onto Dimitri's chest crushing him, he twisted his foot slowly adding pain. he raised his sword up high. Dimitri looked over, everyone but the god of death ahd left. and so it ends...not with a bang...but a wimper he knew he'd never make it to the afterlife so no use praying, and what god would help him anyway, he couldn't fight back, he was to weak, so he did the only thing he could. Close his eyes, and wait for the finishing blow to come.
