"Halting it's flow of mana would probably help," Quint said, watching Rioushu work. "But since I don't know a way to do the same, I think I'll just stop Rake." She said this as if it were easy, then chuckled softly to herself, finally shaking her hand to get rid of the tingling feeling from the shock.
"Man, that stings."

Aonice sighed, and quickly hopped over to Quint. She helped the woman stand up, "Ya know, it sounded like Rake is missing an element, appearently it has a kryptonite of sorts... " She nodded.. "I bet Dante can clue us in, i'm sure.. Also, if we end up removing any limbs, we need to kick them away as quick as possible.. " She nodded..

"Or just destroy them completely." Quint added, then learning of the stoic man's name.
"Dante huh? He should be our first stop then. If Rake has only a single weakness, we need to exploit that for all it's worth." She gritted her teeth a little: Quint hated having to depend on an item to kill something.
"Wait.." She tried to remember, crossing her arms under her chest, "Where does Dante live, if anywhere? I don't suppose he has a house we can bust up for answers, does he?"

Aonice sighed, "Stop being so aggressive, " She asked as she turned to look, but was distracted by the raised chest... "He's body guarding at Morrigan's remember? It's back to the forest, i suppose.."

"Then.." Quint started, realizing it was something she hadn't said in a long time, "To...Morrigan's?"

Aonice nodded.. "To Morrigans" She spoke as she continued to walk out...

"You heard the lady!" Quint spoke up, using a line from one of her favorite shows. "Autobots! Transform and roll out!"
After that her wings reattached to her back, and she was in flight. Destination: Morrigan's.

Both Kurai and Tsuin nodded towards the party's plans and now their new destination. His twin "sister" examined the summoning seal just in case, slowly understanding why he wanted the seal placed on his back.
"You go ahead with Aonice and the other girl....I'll stay here and seal off this draw point. We can't have that thing come back here for a quick snack." She said, summoning a sudden flow of blood onto her right arm and allowing it to trickle down to her fingers. Standing at the center of the Mana Pool, she places two fingers upon the ground and slowly and carefully paints the ground with her blood. Several large runes glow to life from the very markings she gave birth, placing a heavy seal on the draw point.
"Be careful Tsuin....I don't know what'll happen to me if I use this double-edged sword..." Kurai said, just before exiting the caves, trailing behind Aonice and Quint.

'Rioushu' felt the real Rioushu's soul returning back to the body, so he used the mana that Rake so graciously gave him to hold his soul down for as long as possible. The real one could not abosrb mana, so the fake one was worried about his, and its safety if he were to go up against Rake. "I can probably take it on from the mana from the forest..." He said to himself, as nearly the entire forest was back to green, even people from the volcano should be able to see it. "I wonder if I should make that volcano erupt..."

Leon, no longer having someone to talk to, walked around the cavern aimlessly, trying to find a new buddy to talk to. " ...so bored..." he muttered, looking are for any sight of people.

*Leaving 99 in the forest, Rake moved swiftly back towards the caverns. As it did so, it fidgetted with the belts around its waist, pulling out a needle and a vial. Piercing its feathered wing, it let three drops of its own blood fill this vial. Stopping at the entrance to the caverns before corking the vial, it gently let a single drop fall onto the earth just inside the enclosed area, its voice whispering the strange celestian syllables of the ritual*
One for the physical world and all it laws.
*Blue light spiralled around the caverns, turning the air dark, heavy, polluted. The light turned red as the blood soaked into the ground, lines like veins extending from the spot into the caverns, restoring the decayed effect of the initial seal. With its purple eyes once again turned red, Rake headed for the water*

Though his presence in the forest went relatively unnoticed after he had given Rake the vial containing his blood, the fact that he had remained did not change. Furthermore, he had followed Rake as it had moved on and away from the forests to the caverns. He knew very well that the “mosquitoes”, as Rake called them, wanted to have words, and he also knew that Gatz had bugged the island. So it would not be unreasonable to assume that they more than likely knew exactly where both he and Rake were at the present moment. It stood to reason that Quint and the others would not approach if Rake were around, so it also stood to reason that for Dante to stick as closely to Rake as possible to avoid whatever questioning they had in mind for him.
And so it was that he bore silent witness as Rake went about it’s work in the cavers. The “ceremony” was very similar to the one the being had performed in the forest. But Dante couldn’t help but notice that the vial with his blood was nowhere to be found, and that Rake was using another source: it’s own/. He pondered this silently, wondering why Rake didn’t just use it’s own blood in the forest rather than going to the trouble of procuring some from another source. Could it have been a test, maybe? There was no way to know for certain, for Rake was the type to keep such things to itself unless it felt a need to reveal it’s secrets. Putting these thoughts aside for the tie being, he returned to his silent vigil, keeping an eye out for any possible interruptions that seemed to have a knack for showing up at the most inopportune of times.

You're very quiet Dante but I can practically HEAR your brain buzzing. Im gonna ask you something but you dont have to answer. Why're you helping me? I know you know the host, but you werent best friends, and I know Im stronger than you, but that shouldnt phase you especially since I have shown no desire to kill yet. So... why?
*It asked quite casually as it headed for the water in the caverns. As it approached, the black taint spread before it until it knelt at the waters edge, watching little red lights begin to lift from the liquid. Another drop of it's blood left the vial, through the glass itself just as Dante's had in the forest. The red lights strenthened and played with it, drawing the blood into the water in stages*
Two for flora and fauna and all of creation.
*Its eyes flickered again as teh second part of the cavern ritual was completed. It stood slowly, and headed for a large rock towards the back of the area*

Looking off in the distance, Sierra spotted a small cave, secluded and quiet. "Hm...it does seem to be a place of solitude...I'll check it out!" She skipped over the rocks that rested at the mouth of the cavern, taking a peek inside. Within the rocky shelter there were two people, seeming standing around. Sierra then took a whiff of the air, scrunching her nose up from the smell. These individuals in front of her likely weren't the best people to ask for help, but she's been here for hours without sighting another soul.
Not very self-confident, Sierra hesitantly walked deeper inside, meekly calling out. "Um...hello? Could I maybe ask you something please?" Her hands were crossed behind her back, tapping on a rock with her foot, very intimidated by the duo ahead of her.

*Rake paused and swivelled, eyeing the woman*
Ah. Its you.
*Stalking over, the tall MOSTLY female deity spread its wings a little as it gazed at the female before it*
Ask away. Hmm.. you smell familiar...
