Welcome to Gaia! ::

Chiku heard the cat hybrid's words, but she had different plans. Gripping her hands together, she murmured a few words, as the air around them became aroused. Eyes gleaming, she called out words in the language of the wind.

Oh, great and powerful winds,
come upon us and lift
Chiku of Wind, Kuroshi of the Elves, Rey of Earth, Duna of the Cats, and the one of cats whom I will hold in my arms
to the castle of the Kazemira, dragon of the wind,
bearing with us no beast who seeks to harm us!
I, Chiku of the wind, command it!

Chiku grabbed the cat hybrid just as a huge, sweeping wind came across the land.

Lia was by Duna's side, and sat by his feet in her full cat form, cleaning her face with her paws.

"Ambush is all too common with my trade, but recreation is such a rare gift," she said lazily, her unfocused on the world around them.

Purring , she laid by Duna's feet in the warm afternoon sun, still gazing into nothingness, searching for the purpose of this place

Chiku stood up and brushed herself off.

"Well, friends, this is the castle of the wind. With all due respect, Duna, I would not have considered it to be in good form to have fled the battle leaving you and...Miss cat hybrid there to fight. There will be other chances to prove your strength, I'm sure."

As she was talking, a lady, appearing as a winged and particularly noble elf, came into the room.

"So, Chiku, you have brought them here. For two of you, I will give an introduction.

I am Kazemira, dragon of the winds. I use this form for convenience's sake, as being so horribly huge all the time can be an inconvinience.

In none of you can I see any wicked desires. You may stay here."

Chiku looked on with shock.

"NO!" She screamed, running in front of the dragon.

Tornado! she called out, directing strong winds towards Kuro to blow him from the castle back down to the earth.

The seal hit her. Since it wasn't completely finished, though, it didn't seal her. It just cut into her stomach. She collapsed onto the floor, bleeding heavily.

"H..how c-could he?" she gasped. "K-Kuro..."

Duna watched as the drama unfolded.

'Hmm...I knew that he would quickly get better, but I understand it more now...curious...' he thought, leaping behind some curtains.

He saw Chiku get hit, and moved over to her.

"Allow me to clean your wounds," he said, bowing a little and looking into her eyes with his green stare.

She groaned, but said nothing else.

He carefully licked at the blood around the wound, and it coagulated, sealing it.

"Don't mean to be messy," he said, licking his chops, "But Cat saliva is a powerful healing substance. There's a reason that we're so hardy. But that was a pretty serious wound, so you'll need medical attention to make sure it does not become serious. Perhaps someone knows a spell that will help?"

He looked out after the other drag-brid's flight, and wished him well.

'Whoever he is...and I hope it's not HIM, it will be a hard fight...but it is the young drag-brid's fight, and he shall prove his mettle if he can overcome it, one way or another', he thought.

He turned to Lia, "Come on, my catling, let's make up a bed for Ms. Chiku here. She will need some rest."

Rey smiled. Something inside him loved the fact that the elf had ideas of putting up a fight. His claws grew slightly, and the more he enjoyed the fight, the more vicious he looked. He flew close to the wall, and began to speed up, slightly grazing the wall with his right hand.

You may think you've got me, elf, but might want to think again! - His eyes glowed with a fierce intensity with the same color as the earth. His slight graze turned into a fierce slash at the wall as he dug his claws in and pointed his other hand at the elf. - Stone Spear! - He called out, and no sooner than he did, jagged stone formations jutted out of the wall closest to the elf. And as soon as that happened, he started freefalling, his stone wings in front of him, with only a slight opening so he could see between the stone feathers.
