Welcome to Gaia! ::

Taking off its robe the person revealed themselves as a short young girl((Around 5) with short blue hair, purple eyes, and black symbols((Tatoos)) all over her body. She then got tired of waiting and used here Hydrokinetic powers and almost all her energy and the energy of the two other souls within her to create a huge tsunami a wave reaching 100 feet barelly missed here and ryudo and then it hit the cave entrance and the water froze possibly trapping them in the cave.
She then collapses on the ground out of exhuastion.(She did use all alot of power))

Julio just fell unconcious as Ryugo has yet to notice Julio by now. Julio slowly just gets up, grumbling as his sword and axe lay by his side. Carbie kept onto julio's back and shivering before shaking alot and then. He gets up, brushing himself off gently and then looks at his weapon. HE picks them up and then hefts them on his shoulders, looking back quietly at ryugo and silently trying to sneak away.

Julio just made a sudden stop as he slowly cranes his head over at the incoming opponent. "...uh oh..."he blinks. Then he made a slow smile, carbie making a similar scared face. "...........bye."He squeaked before tossing his balde forward which went hover mode again and jumps on it, shooting off into the cave quickly to run away from him.

Yo-Ho! Yo-Ho!
A Pirate's life for me...

And they were off, stowed away on the pirate ship's lower decks. The swashbuckler, the dancer, and the child, each after the treasures of a legend.

Well now, all they really had to do right now was wait for the ship to arrive at its destination, though Turriens never bothered thinking as far as to how they were going to do this thing. He just simply hid behind the barrels, lightly humming a tune to himself as he waited. Hopefully, there would be no trouble on this trip.

Now, Ryudo wasn't stupid, and he wasn't unaware either. He'd known that there were forces at work in both of these beings. With his psychic abilities, and his natural abilities to sense the changes in energy and magic around him, he was able to sense the power buildup of Carbie's attack even before the jewel had started to glow.

Blocking it was easy enough. This small creature couldn't have nearly as much power in it as a Shadow Dragon. With minimal effort, Ryudo tapped into his shadow and dark elemental abilities and formed a black wedge that easily cut through the wave of force sent out by the little creature. As the attack subsided, he grinned as the little man ran away like a coward. It appeared his pet was going to be a slight annoyance, but no worries, Ryudo had his own ways of dealing with these sorts of problems...

Lethe... I may need you soon... Be ready for me to call on you...

Yes master...

Ryudo then walked after Julio. He was in no hurry. The only light inside the cave was coming from the sealed entrance. If Julio went too far into the cave, he wouldn't be able to see... And just to make that point more apparent, Ryudo snapped his fingers. As the snap echoed through the cave, a thin layer of shadow energy krept up the ice wall, blocking out the light coming through it. As a bit more time went on, the energy fully blocked out the light in the cave and crystalized, it now pitch black inside the cave.

Lets see how you do when you can't see!!

What Julio failed to realize was that Ryudo was now surrounded by his natural element. Darkness. Rather than haveing to charge up and take shadow energy from his shadow, Ryudo could now take shadow energy from his environment. He could sense the magical buildup from Julio's fireball, and knew the direction Julio was heading. So, rather than run around and play catch up, Ryudo decided to make use of his new shadowy home...

He walked towards the solid black wall, and disapeared into it.

Now, Ryudo was able to use the shadows around him as a portal, much like Lethe was able to use them to enter the physical realm. Ryudo entered the shadow on the wall and simply exited the shadow about 300 feet down the tunnel Julio was moving through. Knowing Julio's speed from the quickly approching magical energy of his guiding fireball, Ryudo then went to work on his trap.

He caused several shadow spikes to lance outward from the walls in front of himself, easily closing the tunnel off. The spikes were, in total, roughly 20 feet thick. This meant that the entire tunnel was sealed off with 20 feet of shadow spikes. The spikes were more than strong enough to take a person ramming into them at thirty miles per hour, and there were approximately 200 shadow spikes blocking off the 20 feet of tunnel.

That done, Ryudo then walked back into the shadows of the wall to begin the next part of his trap...

One might wonder how Ryudo was able to see if there was no light in the cave. well, as it turned out, Ryudo did not need light to see. Sure it was more difficult to see than if there WAS light, but anything was better than nothing. The reason was, to Ryudo's eyes, the shadows weren't black, they glowed a ghostly dark purple color due to his shadow abilities trying to find ways out through them. This alerted Ryudo to exactly where things were. If that wasn't enough, his mind could send out psychic pulsed that would bounce off the walls and return to Ryudo to be read by his mind. This was very similar to a bat's echolocation, and gave Ryudo a perfect idea of where things were in pitch blackness.

Ryudo could still sense the fireball given off by Julio, and therefore still knew where he was. After exiting the wall not even a second after entering the last one, he prepared another spike wall, however, he waited until Julio had zipped past the entrance of the tunnel to do it. By doing this, he officially locked himself and Julio into this tunnel. The wall of spikes on this part was 30 feet thick rather than 20.

Julio had made an error going down this tunnel, as Ryudo had stepped into the wall the first time, he'd seen the entire outline of the cave in a purple glowing maze, and he'd seen this tunnel in particular. Why? This tunnel twisted and turned for about 750 feet until it dead ended into a large room. The ceiling on this room was about three hundred feet high, and covered in stalactites, while the floor was covered in stalagmites. The floor of the room was about a thousand feet long and wide, and it formed a sort of circular shape.

The trap was set... Soon Julio would enter the massive room, and Ryudo would appear. He then began walking down the tunnel towards the room, creating more spikes behind him, and making the wall ever larger and longer...
