Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hokyo glanced back at the other man; he had done good to trust him. He twisted his wrist and knocked the soldiers, force back and in a moment, his elbow slammed against the man’s face. Stepping back, his feet moving as he dodged another attack, the red smoke was fading. “Ten seconds!” He shouted above the noises of battle, his hand reached forward to slam his open palm against that of another soldier. The man that he had tripped was up and Hokyo spun around, the sword striking the man in the ribs, at first it looked as though he had sliced into the man, but when you looked closely the blade had a small glow on it, pressing against the soldier’s uniform, but keeping it from cutting him. The soldiers looked down in shock, but as soon as Hokyo stood up again, his eyes glaring at the man. The man spit up blood, the impact from the blade had done damage, but didn’t kill.

Hokyo glanced around; he had taken out four of the soldiers. It appeared as Bandi had managed to deal with three at that time. Dropping the sword, his mind was racing for a moment. He knew that not many of the men had seen him well enough; he took a deep breath and wrapped his right hand into a fist, closing his eyes he pulled it to the right. “After this run to the outer edge of the Dakion mountain range, tell the people you find there, that Hokyo sent you.” Hokyo spoke towards the man again, and in a split second slammed his own fist into his face, the impact sent him flying backwards. He landed on the ground, with a thud.

The approaching of more soldiers were already rushing to the scene, leaving Bandi alone to either face them or run. Though if he was smart he would’ve taken Hokyo’s advice, the red smoke was dying leaving a good image of who was under attack and who had attacked.

One of the soldiers grabbed a hold of Hokyo, pulling him up, examining him. The mark on his face had grown, spreading a deep blue across his face. The man growled and dropped him again, kicking him a few times and then drug him off. The other soldiers that had no sought after Bandi now went around cleaning the mess up they had created.

A few minutes later, Hokyo was awoken by a few buckets of water being thrown on him. He was inside of a rather large cell, his hands and head inside of wood, while his legs were chained to the wall. The wood pallet around his head was chained to the ceiling to keep him in a kneeling position. He sighed, his ribs hurt and his face was killing him. What the hell was he thinking? A soft chuckle made him look up at a rather large man sitting in a chair in front of him.
“What a surprise to have the Red Blitz in my own prison, a man that Daton wants to claim and run a dagger into his own heart, the old general that conquered more then a half of the land that Daton now owns, but now a traitor.” Spoke the cocky man, his uniform that of a higher rank, but with Hokyo’s right eye closing it was hard to make out. “You give me too much credit, if I was such a man, I would’ve never been caught.” Said Hokyo as he laughed out loud, but the other man found no humor in it. Of course the man would know Hokyo, a man of the higher rank would keep a eye out for him.

“You were Daton’s most prized soldier, and yet you betrayed him, why?” Asked the soldier, crossing his legs and resting his white gloved hands on his knees, this made Hokyo laugh harder. “If you want to know so bad, why don’t you cut me open and find what makes me work?” Hokyo starred at the other man, but the man still didn’t find any humor in this. “What a coward of a high rank you are, you sit in your prison eating properly and I doubt you once have dirtied your hands since you took post.” Hokyo spoke without looking at the man, he truly hated people like the man that sat before him.

The man lost his temper and rose from his seat in such a hurry that he knocked the chair out from beneath him. Rushing over to Hokyo, and slamming his newly polished boot into Hokyo, Hokyo helpless as the chains rattled against the attacks. The man gripped Hokyo’s hair and glared at him. “How dare you speak to me, I am your better you will obey me.” Said the man in a fit of rage; however Hokyo had a glare in his eye one that seemed to consume all that of light leaving only his green eyes starring fiercely at the man. “Now tell me where those that call themselves the Red Rebels are located!” Shouted the man; his white gloves now dirty with blood. Hokyo took a deep breath and spit on the man’s boots. “Looks as likes you get dirty like me.” Said Hokyo as a spread of blood dripped from his lips.

The man growled in frustration, letting Hokyo go, he slammed his palms against the bars of the cell, calling for a guard. “Get me that priest, which knows black magic! Do it now! I want to know all of this man’s secrets.” Shouted the man, and the guard ran off in a rush.

The soldier that had stayed with Hokyo, seemed calmer that the priest had arrived. The whole time he had sat and stared everywhere but where Hokyo looked. He rose to his feet and unlocked the cell. “I want to know everything this man knows! He a loyal member of the Red Rebels and has important details which could assist us with putting down that old dog of rebels.” The man spoke quickly and annoyed. Hokyo began to hum a rather mild tone. “In other words dear priest they want you to use those dark spells which are circling around inside of you, to make me tell you all my dirty secrets… now that I think of it I could mention the fact I haven’t bathed in nearly three days. That’s a dirty one correct? Or I have slept with several women, including a few of Daton’s Generals daughters?” Hokyo spoke rather calmly, the blood on his face had dried a bit, but for the amount of hits he had taken, his body seemed to be repairing itself quickly.

The guard and soldier glanced at Hokyo in disbelief. It was as though they hadn’t bathed in a few days, it was hard always on the go. Returning to his humming, the soldier growled and looked at the priest. “Can you do this? I will give you anything you’d like if you succeed.” The soldier remarked with a rather note of distaste of such a deal. The guard had left by now, leaving only the three of them. Of course even in such measures Hokyo was overly chained now, he had weights on the wooden pallet, along with two large metal balls attached to his chains on his feet.

The soldier glanced between Hokyo and the priest and nodded. Shutting the cell door behind him, he hadn’t been fond of sitting in the cell with that red headed demon. “Don’t allow him to escape!” Said the soldier with a bit of warning in his words. Then he left, leaving the cell to be between Hokyo and the priet.

Hokyo stopped his humming and glanced at the priest. “Rather interesting for you to ask to be alone with me, what would a priest that lies about being holy seek with me? Someone that uses the past of history to find those dark legends and spells in the human soul.” Hokyo spoke rather coldly towards the priest, he didn’t need to see inside of a man, he simply could feel their aura and this one screamed with hatred and pain.


A small boy jumped out with a large spear at Bandi, he stopped when he noticed that the man wasn’t a Daton soldier. “What are you doing here?” He questioned Bandi with the spear pointed at his chest.

Yune gave her thanks and quickly took her leave, however she paused outside as she watched her sister. A glint of interest filled Ray’s eyes. She watched the priest leave and placed her hand to her chin. She had a feeling, it was a small feeling, but most of the time she was no wrong. She turned and leaned over. One slender pale finger touched the ground and she began to draw. Within seconds her creation was finished “fallow and report back to me immediately.” The picture, a mouse actually began to grow from her shadow. It rose above the ground and scurried after the priest. “Yunari watch my body, I’m going to fallow” the dark woman moved over to the shade of a tree and leaned against it. Yunari sat in front of her and they both crossed their legs, knees against knees. Carefully they leaned forward till their foreheads were touching and Ray’s body went limp.

A barrier was erected to hide the two from sight but like this, Ray was allowing her to see what the shadows saw, a soul link so to say. Yunari closed her eyes as well and together they saw what the little shadow mouse saw.

It scurried after the priest, fallowing him into what could only be called a prison. A conversation here and a blah there but none of it interested Ray. No she wanted to see what the priest was up to. So the mouse sank into the shadows, fallowing the dark man. More talk from which she didn’t care and ah there it was, the good part. She attached her mouse to one of the shadow covered walls and watched.

The man from before, that one that had touched her sister… he said something about Daton’s generals… did he know about them? Yunari hadn’t caught it but this became something more important. If that red headed man knew about them, then he had to die. Sadly this was more or less no longer about the priest that held her interest. He didn’t know who they were and despite everything, her interests had to be shoved aside for the safety of her sister. But again she heard more information. The word tainted caused her to shiver with glee, but she had to focus for she knew not what abilities that priest had and she had yet to gather the information she wanted.


((don't mind us, think of us as a fly... or er a mouse on the wall))
