Riku Itsuki Amakura  All night staring at the ceiling
Counting the minutes I've been feeling this way
So far away and so alone (()) Riku didn't feel the need to throw up at the scent of Linda's blood. He was too used to blood. From its' color, to even its' taste, Riku knew blood inside and out. However, that didn't mean Riku wasn't at all fazed by the amount of blood Linda had lost. Whoever slashed her must have hit a main artery or something...She shouldn't be bleeding this much.
Then, he heard her voice. Its' soft tone almost made him think it was someone else. But in the end, it was truely Linda. I must admit. I hate seeing her like this...Riku knew that Linda didn't have much time. If they didn't get help to her quickly, she would die. A small part, strangely, felt sad at that idea. The rest of him was neutral. Death is death. We all die. It's evitable. Yet...why do I feel that slight hint of sadness at Linda dying? I thought I lost the ability to feel anything towards Death a long time ago.
But by plain luck, they had arrived at the ghotto and the Oracle told him where he could lie her. He moved quickly and placed Linda down. He hoped Mina would come soon, but started taking out bandages out of his bag. Just in case Mina is too weak to heal Linda completely, I should try and stop the bleeding. Riku worked hard to make sure the wounds would stop bleeding. However, he couldn't stop them all. The fight to keep Linda alive seemed almost hopeless.For some reason, Riku wouldn't give up. A frown appeared on his face as his mind made him face reality. She's not going to make it. Even you know that.
Riku shook his head as he kept going, ignoring the voice of reason for the first time in a long time. There's no way I'm giving up this time
Yeah, you know I'm right here
I'm not losing you this time

Linda
As the bandages started to cover her wounds, Linda started to struggle weakly. They stung, and she was in enough pain as it was. She tried to push away the hand that was tending her, but it was as if a feather had touched that hand. Linda's touch was not there at all, nothing compared to her original strength. The Oracle, who had invited them in to tend to Linda's wounds, started to quickly brew a potion that would help Linda sleep and regain strength as the rest of the group lay down to sleep for the night. The Oracle went over to Riku and proffered him the potion, telling him that Linda needed to drink it, and that it would help greatly. At the midnight hour, her bandages would need to be changed again, but for now, she was fine. While this conversation was commencing, Linda was growing fitful, the pain growing greater and greater. She whimpered, and while she could barely move, she indeed struggle as much as she could in her weakened state. The pain made her beyond comprehension, the only intelligible words, two names: Riku, and the name of her brother, Dominic. Linda was having fevered hallucinations, and talking with her dead brother and Riku as if they were all old friends, but nothing could be understood save the names of the two men.

Riku Itsuki Amakura All night staring at the ceiling
Counting the minutes I've been feeling this way
So far away and so alone (()) Riku felt Linda resist a bit. A small smirk appeared on his face as he finished the bandages. Always a fighter, eh Linda? Just like your brother...He shook his head as he didn't want the memories to come back.
When the Oracle came over, he listened carefully to her instructions. He nodded as the Oracle soon went away. As he prepared to give her the potion, Riku thought he heard his name and his partner's name. However, when trying to find who said it, Riku couldn't see them. "Linda...was that you?" He shook his head, wondering why he wanted to hear her voice so badly. It made no sense to Riku that he longed to hear it. But, for now, he did. And there seems to be no way to get the emotion to shut up!
Once he finished the prepartion, Riku opened her mouth slowly with his hand. Then, he poured the drink slowly into her mouth. The hand, that had opened her mouth, rubbed her neck gently to give the drink a better chance of going down the right pipe. Also, Riku made sure to pop her up before giving her the drink. Once the potion was fully ingested, he placed her back down and sat nearby. There's no way I'm giving up this time
Yeah, you know I'm right here

╚════════════════╝ Sienna stumbled backwards, but quickly righted herself. She slowly stood straight and faced the creature that was controlling Darian. "No, I do not share your sentiment. He has suffered enough because of what happened to you. He hated himself for what had been forced upon you both. He mourned your death, and still does." Sienna took a deep breath to steady herself before she slowly walked forward with her arms held out to her sides. She stopped just in front of Darian and looked into his eyes, knowing that he wasn't looking back at her. "Look past your supposed anger, remember how he reacted when the drugs had worn off. He wishes he could have changed your fate and the fate your your daughter, but he knows that he can't. And to this day he still tries to protect your daughter even though she doesn't know about him. She has been used and hurt by your other brother, the one that caused this all to happen, and yet Darian tries his best to keep her safe." Sienna closed her eyes and lowered her head as she fought back tears, tears for Darian, for his sister, and for Mina. Before lifting her head and speaking to the creature she mentally sends a message to Darian, praying he can hear her. 'Darian, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything. I...I love you...I shouldn't, I should let you live your life and not burden you, but I do...' Sienna looks into the eyes that belong to Darian, but hold nothing she sees as familiar and speaks to the creature. "Just think back, think back to before you and Darian were drugged. Which brother actually cared for you? Which brother showed you his love?" (())

Linda
Linda slowly started to calm down as the potion began to take effect. She still kept murmuring as she slowly fell asleep, the words all but intelligible. Once again, the only things heard were the names of Riku and Dominic, her dead brother. Slowly, ever so slowly, Linda began to quiet as the potion really worked its magic, making her sleep so that her wounds would start to heal on their own, without her movement to keep rupturing them open. Mina might still have to do some work, but this way, the wounds were started on. As Linda finally fell asleep, her head ended up tilted so that her face was towards Riku, and her hand, palm up, seemed to be reaching for him as it dangled off the bed.

 {Celeste} Celeste frowned, and then looked towards the door.
{Drugged you say...?} she said softly. Something seemed to be happening in her head. But then it all snapped back into place. {You lie. But I will give you chances to prove yourself if you must concoct such a story as that. For now though... For now I will keep this body. By the way, He got your message. He pleaded with me to tell you that he loves you dearly and that you do not burden him in the least,} Celeste added with a cackle.

  MinaMina and Meiun walked hand in hand into the room where Riku and Linda were. Mina, looking up to Meiun, slowly slid her hand from his as she placed a gentle kiss to his cheek. She walked over and lightly rested her hand on Riku's shoulder, speaking to him mentally in a soft calming voice. 'Riku, don't worry for her. I will not let her die, you have my word on that.' With that Mina moved and slowly sat down on the bottom of the bed with her legs tucked under her. Meiun stepped up to her and lightly rested his hands on her shoulders, giving her a better connection with him so that she could take what was needed to help save Linda. She smiled up to Meiun before turned back to face Linda.
Mina took a deep calming breath, slowly releasing it before allowing her essence to leave her body and enter Linda's. Once she accomplished that her energy flowed through Linda, finding the major problem areas and healing them. As she did so Linda would whimper and tremble on the bed, the heat from Mina's healing rousing her even with the potion. Mina then moved through Linda's body slowly and meticulously healing all the other wounds, she even healed her muscles that had been weakened from her run. When she was sure that Linda was fully healed Mina allowed her essence to flow back into her own body and slumped back against Meiun. Her breathing was labored but she slowly sat up and rested a hand on Riku's. "S-She is going to be f-fine...She is f-fully healed n-now...Rest and when she w-wakes you will s-see..."Mina looked over her shoulder at Meiun and gave him a small smile as he lifted her into his arms and carried her over to another bed and laid her down. Mina sighed slightly and slowly closed her eyes as she felt Meiun laying down next to her. She knew he was going to be upset with her for exhausting herself, but she had to help save Linda. She wanted to tell him that but she had used all her energy and was quickly falling asleep in his arms.

╚════════════════╝ Sienna shook her head as tears slid down her cheeks. She couldn't believe that this was the person Darian had loved so much as a sister. She didn't know how she could prove that were words were true, but she knew she would do anything to get Darian back. "How can I prove what I tell you is true? Can you not see what is in Darian's mind when he thinks of you? He tries not to, for it kills him to know he did those things to you and couldn't stop himself, but there are times that the memories play in his mind. If he looks at the flower he created in tribute to you they play through his mind." Sienna bowed her head at the creatures last words, more tears sliding down her cheeks. She closed her eyes and tried to reach for Sheridan, grasping onto the bond that she had with Darian, to send her a message. 'Sheridan, please, whatever you do. Avoid your father, please trust me. He isn't himself right now and might try and hurt you. If he succeeds in doing so and learns of it when he returns to himself he will be devastated. Please I beg you stay away from him.' With that Sienna opens her eyes to look at the creature inhabiting Darian's body, her own body trembled slightly from her sadness. "What are you going to do to his body? What are you going to do to him?" Sienna didn't try and wipe at her tears anymore, not bothering to hide them as she looked at the creature. She wanted to be held by Darian but knew there was no way for that to happen. She tried to block out the different things that could happen to him, to focus on how she could prove what she had said was true. (())

 Sometimes you wake up, sometimes the fall kills you, and sometimes when you fall...
Alcazar flies into a blind rage at being ignored. 'THE NERVE OF THIS WEAK-MINDED FOOLS! IGNORING ONE AS GREAT AS I.' He digs around in his pouch, pulling out the ingredients he needs for a spell of great destruction. If the fools think they can ignore Alcazar the Insane, he will show them how very wrong they are.
 ...you fly.

Riku Itsuki Amakura All night staring at the ceiling
Counting the minutes I've been feeling this way
So far away and so alone (()) Riku noticed Linda's head looking towards him. He watched her hand that dangled off the bed. A feeling of confusion went through him as he wondered why she did that. However, letting a moment of weakness shine through, he took that hand and smiled warmly at her. "Keep fighting ok? I would hate to lose you..." Riku looked down and bit his lip. Before any more weakness could take over him, he felt Mina's hand on his shoulder. He listened to her and held on to Linda's hand still. But, his calm demeanor was back in place.
He watched at Linda moved slightly, allowing him to see Mina's healing was working. A small smile appeared at that before it went away. I can't think like this. I can't get attached! This isn't right! Riku let go of Linda's hand and moved back against the chair. When Mina came back and told him Linda's status, all he could do was nod.
Once Mina and Meiun left, Riku immediately bowlted out the door. Riku stood at the entrance to the ghetto. He could feel an angry presence nearby. But, he didn't give a crap about it. His eyes looked down to the ground as his body was crouched over. "Why is it so hard to keep my emotional distance from you, Linda? First it was hatred...and now...it is this strange emotion I don't understand." His voice was soft as his left hand caressed his hidden blade. "Assassin's can't get attached. They have too much of a chance to die during every job, and the people they kill will go after people they care about." Riku kept his voice soft as he stood up now. "Thus, it's better not to have anyone close to you at all...."
Riku felt the urge to run far away from here. But, he knew that was cowardly. Thus, he stood his ground, his head bowed and his fists cletched at his side. There's no way I'm giving up this time
Yeah, you know I'm right here
I'm not losing you this time

So far away and so alone (()) Riku noticed a being in the trees. He didn't want to talk to the creature, but he kept watch on the person. The creature looked like a man, but with black wings. Admittedly, Riku hadn't seen a person with black wings before. However, his curiousity was surprassed by his swirling emotions. Thus, Riku choose not to acknowledge its presence There's no way I'm giving up this time

Sometimes you wake up, sometimes the fall kills you, and sometimes when you fall...
Finding a piece of the greater demon Barbeleth horn and a little chunk of sulfur, Alcazar grinds them together in his hands, and begins a strange ritual, consisting of what a appears to be a jig and abyssal sounding mutterings. Moving his hands up to his mouth while continuing to dance, he swallows the dust. As soon as this happens, his body begins to convulse, and strange red mist pours from his mouth. Giggling, he says one final phrase, quite clearly, in the common tongue. "Now, all will burn." Suddenly, the mist wraps around him, igniting in a bright green fire.
...you fly.

(( Pardon me for being gone for so long, lol. Letting people know that things will be different now. I'm going to be active more from here on out or at least try. With that said, time to give this psychotic playwright his return. )) "This is all so interesting....."Jihn Kolt  Jihn floated down the road of the small town he was in, looking for something of particular interest. This town wasn't easy to get to. It was on an island far off from the regular bodies of land. People all walked by as they sat and noticed the floating man, who had glowing orbs floating around him in gravitation with a parrot perched upon his shoulders. He was in the town of the Dead Sages, the place where his father once lived. Rumor was that someone was trying to change scripts in his play for the world. He couldn't have that. He had to eliminate the competition. All the sages loathed this man to a certain degree. His mother was of the warring side of witches and his father was a sage of their clan. All of them stood there with staffs, sickles, blades, and other weapons drawn. He chuckled. Of course he lied about the other playwright. He was their to eliminate any who would pose a threat in his plans for the villains if the play."My, my. Have you done all of this for me? If you insist, then I will be happy to play a role in this subplot." He laughed fiercely as the parrot mimicked his own words."SUBPLOT!!!" The raven-like men and women were ready as they lunged out towards him with spells and weapons ready. Screams echoed througout the place as men fell in the hands of women. The orbs dispersed everywhere as they were controlling the women like puppets. When he had no more use of them, the orbs left and the women's bodies exploded as blood painted the walls of buildings and the grounds. Jihn had one more place to go to get what he seeked so bad. He floated proudly towards the last line of people as they would gladly give their lives for that book. Spells and summoning of ancient beasts. He wasted no time on the giant behemoths. The summoners were weak while their monster were strong, yet at the same time, the monsters would be dismissed when their summoners were dead.
Jihn walked into the shrine, smiling as he held the head of the chief. He stroked it lightly as he achieved what he came for. He grabbed a book layered under seals. He snapped his fingeras the seals vanished. He flipped through the ancient book and smiled."Soon Dinivas, soon." His voice mused as his laughter filled the dead town. He was heading back to add puppets to his new collection. Now the cast was set."....These stupid little puppets"
