  When I tell you to trust me... Jack slid the now bloodless sword back into it's sheathe, then knelt and lifted two of the men. He vanished from the spot and dumped them outside. He appeared inside again and grabbed two more. He repeated this until all the bodies were outside. Once they were all outside, he set them on fire and watched them burn. The fire burned a deep blue, almost black. "Ever seen fire do that before?" he asked. The fire he could create burned green. He had yet to figure out why it did that, but he'd grown used to it. It would be in your best interest to do so. {{OOC: Think we should wait for Mage?}}

 ✧Kyra--Idalia✧ "Don't belittle me, I DO have the skill to defend my land!" She threw the one man she stabbed off to the side when she saw a dagger swung her way. She was able to knock the blade out of his hand and break the man's arm by grabbing it with one hand and swinging upward against the elbow. The man screamed but continued to try and fight her. She dodged his blows- he was slower now that he was writhing in pain. Tired of this, Kyra dashed toward the man and stabbed him in the heart swiftly. She retreated back and looked around. All the opposing men were already dead... or so it looked. She wasn't sure who was who, everything was so quick. A quick scan of the place, you could tell who the customers were, they were the ones cowering in fear. She no longer felt and evil presence. so she could assume that the two men before her, who did not raise an attack against her, were not apart of this group. Rather, those who defended the bar and customers. Kyra's ear flickered when the one man greeted her. She raised one hand up as if waving and said, "H-hello. And thanks? I must ask those what were those things? They look like men but they smell funny..... not like humans or anything I've encountered...." Kitsunes had a keen sense of smell as well as sense, sometimes they referred to 'sense' as 'smell'. She cocked her head then mumbled, " Underworld beings?" Kyra looked in disgust at first when they spoke of burning the bodies. She covered her nose with her arm just imagining the horrible smell they will emit. " Do they HAVE to be burned?" she winced a little. She helped grab a body from time to time- she wasn't as strong as the one man so she could only carry one at a time. She then watched as they set the body pile on fire, covering her nose so she would not smell it. " I've seen blue fire... but never that deep...." Kyra added as she watched the bodies turn to ash. She then looked up at the two with a questionable look. " So..... what happened in there? Why did they attack this tavern?" she asked. [[OOC: @__@ ]]

✧Marlly "The Fierce"✧ "Nobody will stand in my way! Nobody!"
Marlly walked in from the Western Gate of the castle-grounds This place is bigger than I remember. Marlly thought with a touch of nostalgia. It's been far too long.
He walked to the marketplace, as was his custom when entering a new town."Excuse me sir, how much for these fruits you have down here?" 10 piece of copper, a good price. Freshly picked this morning, to boot. As he was dealing with the fruit peddler, he noticed the heavy blue smoke rising from further within the grounds. "Looks like someone started to have some fun without me." Marlly joked as he paid the peddler for the small bag of fruit. I wonder if they'll be there... I guess time will tell
As he started to head towards the smoke, he looked towards the western skies, and noticed a familiar shadow flying around in the air...

✧Helandro--Kyuchi✧ "Death is my battle brother, and I am his." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hel noticed the Kitsune had followed them outside. "Ah, Hello! Nice of you to join us. My name is Helandro Kyuchi. Friends call me Kyu. That guy over there is Jack Corrins. What may we call you?" He asked as he leaned against the wall and rested his head on his hands. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I tell you to trust me... Jack kept his eyes on the fire raging in front of him. The scent burned his nose, but he stayed there regardless. He heard Helandro introduce them to the kitsune. "No idea. Probably trying to scare us or something. They'll have to try harder than that," he said, still looking at the almost black fire. It would be in your best interest to do so. {{OOC:}}

Believe that life is worth living... Etsuko awoke with a start. She had a terrible feeling given to her by her dream. She quickly got dressed in her travel clothes, packed everything up, got her horse ready, and rode as fast as her horse would carry her. She wasn’t sure what her dream had meant; she just knew she had to get moving, and fast.
“The buildings are burning, bring more water!” A man yelled.
“Yes, General!” Another man shouted.
The first man, the General, ran toward the flames without fear. He did not seem afraid. Afraid of the fire. Afraid to die. He ran into the buildings, then moments later back out carrying children, or sometimes helping woman and even men escape the prison of smoke.
“General, the gate!” A new man appeared, dressed in armor. A soldier, that’s what he was. One of the General’s men, perhaps.
The General turned with horror plain on his face. Everything went silent. Everything…except the pounding sound on the other side of the gate. “All men prepare for battle!” He yelled, no longer captured in the rhythm of the pounding on the gate. Many men appeared, nearly at once. “Yes, General!” They shouted in unison. As if by some magical force, the scene in Etsuko’s mind shifted from the men scattered everywhere, to the men in lines and formations dressed in armor, weapons in hand, prepared to fight for their families sake. Once again, all went silent. The General rode a great white horse, also draped in armor, at the front of the lines.
They all listened and waited. The pounding grew louder, but now it seemed to be a combination of the strange force on the other side of the gate, as well as the heart beat of the soldiers. The pounding grew louder and became faster. Then, silent. Nothing. The pounding stopped. The fires all extinguished. Smoke rose into the air from the tops of the buildings and homes.
Suddenly, the gates bursted open after a huge explosion of power. Dark figures seemed to pour in through the gate, killing everything in site, bringing eternal death.
No human survived, body or spirit...
Just remembering it gave her chills.
She noticed a town in the clearing. The trees began to separate slowly but surely ahead of her. This gave her hope. Not knowing what she’s running from and yet knowing all too well at the same time is probably the worst feeling a being could have. It was both unsettling and unnerving. Once from the shelter of the trees, Etsuko slowed her horse. She came to a steady stop, looking up at the clear sky, nearly a cloud-less sea of blue. She took in a deep breathe, retaking control of her emotions. Calming herself. She looked back toward the town and rode to it.  And your belief will help create the fact.

✧Kyra--Idalia✧ "Don't belittle me, I DO have the skill to defend my land!" Kyra bowed to the two of them after they introduced themselves. " Kyra, my name is Kyra. Nice to meet you both, sadly it was under such conditions," she said with one small wag of her tail. She looked at Jack and and asked, " You too in particular? Or perhaps a random attack? If you two, then why? If you don't mind me asking...." She didn't realize who either one was, for she had not met any other Dragon Rider or Dragon Knight. [[OOC: ]]

✧Osiris—The Prodigy✧
"Hey man, just take it easy, okay?" The man walked along the edge of the road, balancing lightly on the lip of the slope that led down to the areas off the path that water flowed when it rained. He walked along slowly, alone, seemingly oblivious to all around him. The sun shining down didn't seem to affect him much, either; he wore a light shirt and shorts, and a bandana kept the sun from beating on his head too hard. A shield rested over his back, covered up by his pack. It was heavy, but he carried it along without complaining, back straight and eyes ahead. He stopped and turned, however, when he felt the approach of a horse. Before he could hear its hoofbeats on the dry ground or its breath as it huffed along, the young man could feel the reverberations coming through the earth under his feet. Osiris shielded his eyes from the sun, peering down the path as Etsuko rode towards him. He waved an arm cheerfully at her, hoping she would stop and allow him to ride along. Walking for the last couple of days as he had been, Osiris was exhausted. He had felt himself drawn towards the capitol cities for the first time in over a dozen years, when he had escaped the city life in favor of practicing his magic in the wild. Surely it was sign for him to feel this draw, and he wouldn't ignore it. Maybe this woman would be kind enough to allow him to ride along. He was pleasant company, and she didn't look too old.

When I tell you to trust me... This time Jack looked at the kitsune. "If they were targeting us, it's because they thought they could take out the problem at it's source. As of right now, I'm the only thing standing in their way of success. I'm captain of the Dragon Warriors, I'm going to be leading the others against the Underworld," he said. He looked back at the fire, making sure it didn't burn out of control. "I'm in this position for a reason. If they wanted to dispose of me, they should have sent more men. Or a beast of some sort. Something that was actually worth the fight," he said, his tone sounding bored. It would be in your best interest to do so. {{OOC:}}

✧Marlly "The Fierce"✧ "Nobody will stand in my way! Nobody!"
As the black smoke grew bigger and bigger, he finally reached where the flames originated from. From there, he could see the outline of three people, two in cloaks and one with fox ears. I see we have a kitsune in our team. It's been a while since I've seen one.Marlly quickly dodges left while the hot flames spew past him. The hell-hound shows no mercy as he attacks relentlessly. Marlly swiftly runs towards it and slashes at it's rear left leg, but the hound dodges it and pounces on him.
He curses as he loses his sword, and tries to get the hound off him. The hound was snarling, taking wild bites left and right, but Marlly managed to dodge them. The hound then tried to bite his neck, yet Marlly held it back, holding the jaws apart with the war-glove he always has on. Using his legs, he kicked the hound off him, and rolled to get his sword.
Dang.... this hound is almost too much... But those kitsune hired me to get rid of it. This hell-hound killed 5 people already, 2 of them young children! This beast must be stopped, and I will stop it!
"Time to end this mutt." Marlly yelled as he charged at the hound, and the hound charged back. They were staring each other down as they ran towards each other, then suddenly the hound pounced. Marlly was slightly startled, yet continued to charge. Marlly then took a strong left step, and lifted the sword sharply upward as the dog came down... "Hello? Are you the Dragon Warriors? Seems to be rather small in number, don't you think?" Marlly joked as he walked around the pile of bodies in the street. "Who were these guys?"

✧Helandro--Kyuchi✧ "Death is my battle brother, and I am his." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hel watched as yet another warrior joined the group. "Hey. Nice of you to join us." He said as he turned his head to face the man. "I'm Helandro Kyuchi. Friends call me Kyu. I'll let the others introduce themselves." He said as he turned his head to face the fire. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

✧Kyra--Idalia✧ "Don't belittle me, I DO have the skill to defend my land!" Kyra looked at Jack and listened. She then smiled and scratched the back of her head, " Well then, I guess I am where I am supposed to be. It was much easier to find you then I thought it would be." She then saluted to the captain and said in a more serious tone but with the same type of friendly smile, " Kyra Idalia at your service. I am taking the place of Amos Idalia, my father." She released the salute and stood there with her one arm on her hip. She wondered how the other Dragon Warriors and Dragon Knights would treat her. Would they treat her like the recruiters did when she took the place for her father? She had no choice, it would have been suicide for her father if she didn't take his place. He had grown sick with age. Kyra did not care about the danger or risk, she was proud to do this. Kyra turned her head when she saw another man approach them. Her one ear twitched a little as she looked at him. He looked familiar..... but she figured it was her imagination. She smiled at him and introduced herself again to him. She then asked, " Are you a Dragon Warrior as well?" [[OOC: ]]

✧Marlly "The Fierce"✧ "Nobody will stand in my way! Nobody!"
Marlly smiled at his new companions and remembered something. He dropped his bag, which made a mild ruckus when landing, and set down the bag of fruits he bought, and put his right forearm horizontal to his chest. "Greetings and salutations. I am Marlly the Fierce. I am a bounty hunter, but when news reached my ears of this endeavor, I knew it was my destiny to help out." He smiled and dropped his arm "Sorry, custom I made with myself. Pleased to meet you Kyuchi. And you as well Idalia. Oh, and no, I'm not a Dragon Warrior. I'm a Dragon Knight."He looked at the burning bodies and saw the odd colors of the flames. "Just who exactly were these guys anyway?"
