Welcome to Gaia! ::

Surtr smirked as she gutted his points, though it was softer than normal and more pleased than playful. It seemed like no matter how severe his past transgressions Androk would always brush them aside and focus on what lie ahead. He could respect that, he did respect that. It only served to deepen their bond when she did this. He had opened up and shared a low point in his life and in her own way she accepted it and moved on unflinching and unwavering in her support. She was like the north star, always in the same place ready to guide and follow Surtr wherever he may go.

He rose and followed after her moving in front of her as the two moved within in the cave. Androk may have been moving more stealthily but Surtr seemed to be walking normally. His eyes were dancing about the cave seeing all that could be seen. It was all strangely the same. He had been gone for almost 2000 years and yet everything looked the same. The he heard it, the same slithering sensual voice that had called to him millennia ago. "My pupil.... has returned." It beckoned to him, soft and soothing it echoed from the cave wall surrounding and enveloping him.

A shiver rippled up the mages spine as the words reached him and he immediately quipped back knowing hesitation would only lead to demise. "You know I could never stay away.... I even brought a third to join the fun..." Surtr said as he looked back to Androk and winked hoping she would understand the play. The was a dull green light up ahead as the cave seemed to widen. Surtr walked to it calmly as if a moth to the flame. The temperature of the cave was warm and a bit dry extremely comfortable conditions. The slight smell of ash and brimstone hung in the air as the two continued towards the light.

As the two broke to the opening the cavern would become monstrous in size easily several hundred meters along each axis making this room incredibly. There in the center atop a throne made of bone sat the one they sought to kill. "Surtr.... what a man you've become..." She said rising from her throne and flapping her wings once to allow her to glide over to him in one smooth motion. "Still beautiful as always Morgana..." Surtr whispered playfully his eyes not bothering to look at hers, they instead drank in what he hadn't seen in forever. She looked the same, something he supposed he shouldn't expect from a demon as ancient as this.

Surtrs crow immediately began to squawk in fear and took off from his shoulder flying up into the air and finding a nice perch to rest upon along one of the walls high up in the cavern.

The creature shifted its gaze to Androk looking to her as it wrapped itself around Surtr. "What a lovely morsel you've brought us..... Will I be eating her after we finish playing with it?" It inquired a lusty and hungry gaze being cast upon Androk.

As it spoke Surtr chuckled softly causing the demon to only pull him in closer pressing him against her as if to tease Androk. "No.... I'm afraid you won't be eating anyone anymore..." Surtr said so softly it may as well have been a whisper. The demon looked to him confused as it went to bite his neck. Suddenly the mage erupted in fire it bursting forth from him covering his entire body, the lusty temptress that hung from it was engulfed in the flames and let out a horrible shriek before taking to the air above him. She flapped wildly and in panic to put out the flames that engulfed her. "Fool.... You will both die now.... I will make you watch me eat her before I kill you." She hissed now agitated as she landed just in front of the pair with her left hand swirling in a dark purple fire. Suddenly the ground beneath the two begin to shake and crack as it did skeletons rose up just feet before Surtr.

The mage took in a deep breath and exhaled a gout of fire large enough to rival a great wyrms. The demon snickered to itself darting past surtr and aiming for Androk it would sweep its left claw across aiming to rip her throat to shreds. Her tail would whip down and around aiming to wrap up Androks leg while it distracted her.

Surtr was busy laying down a steady stream of fire to keep the army of skeletons at bay. It was tedious and super annoying but necessary. She did this intentionally to ensure he wouldn't interfere. It was frustrating and the flame seemed to brighten turning blue as his blood began to boil in frustration. She was separating the two successfully so in fact. Androk was capable but Surtr wanted to aid in this not be disposed off.

As Androk pinned the tail down to the ground pinning it Morgana let out a rather frustrated hiss. As her claw dug in piercing her skin a bit Morgana would withdraw her claw and playfully smirk. That smirk soon disappeared as a coarse hand promptly found itself around her face. As she would pulled in Morganas eyes would gaze tightening in on her seeing its prey intently wanting to be sure that she had been marked. As she was slammed down and then the subsequent fist prepared to follow Morgana exhaled. A noxious fume would slip through her lips passing out towards Androk. The very air it touched seemed to hiss. If Androks fist came into contact it would burn an seethe horribly. It would continue to burn and if she chose to land the punch it would likely cause horrid damaged despite landing a very strong blow.

In addition her other claw would shoot up looking to pierce into Androks chest if she was so willing to go for the killing blow now. It was apparent the demon was looking to feel her out to see how reckless she was. It was a playful game indeed and the demon despite seeming on the ropes had a very malicious smile about her lips.

She grabbed and head butted Morgana before chucking her. The head butt cracked and splintered the crown the demon wore causing it to fall as the demon was thrown clear. It stabilized itself in midair before gently landing on the ground a few meters to the right of Surtr. She raised her claw up licking the blood from it before letting out a resounding "mmmmm". Her eyes focused in on Androk certainly enjoying herself. "You taste.... delicious..." Morgana said with a smirk playfully cocking her hip. She then proceeded to wipe a stream of blood from her lips it was obvious that this girl was skilled.

It looked as if she was about to attack when suddenly another stream of flame erupted from her right almost engulfing the woman in flame. Her right hand came up and broke the flame before it could cause any damage and she cast Surtr a rather playful smirk as if to say that he would get his turn soon enough.

She darted forward rising into the air before her and stabbing her tail forward attempting to run Androk through. Her waste whipped around allowing her leg to follow through to come and meet Androks draw aiming to knock her out very quickly. This demon was strong and fast person enough to compete with Androk meaning this battle would certainly be tons of fun for Androk.

Surtr angrily stopped his breath of fire for a moment seeing more skeletons beginning to climb up insides of the crevice attempting to once again build up and overwhelm. He slammed his fist into the ground it beginning to get warm and red as the skeletons began to close in. Within a few moments the left wall burst and lava began to pour out onto the skeletons. It falling down and continuing to do so coating and disintegrating the skeletons before covering it up and sealing it.

The demon came forward getting the claw through and as it happened the kick she sent was significant. She got thrown then and as she did she smashed into the ground before she felt a very odd sensation. "What the FUUUUAAFID" She screeched out in pain as her tail came free her blood sprayed out and as it touched a surface it would begin to hiss it corroding away whatever it touched. The demon took off into the air cursing aloud. "I will kill you...." She said with incredible conviction. As she prepared to charge she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her left shoulder. Looking down she'd see a dagger sticking from it.

Before she could pull it from her Surtr was there holding the dagger firmly planting another dead center into her chest. He fell on top of her pressing the dagger in deeper. He smirked playful. "Gotch..." His sly words cut short by an arm bursting through his chest just between his shoulder and left collar bone. She ripped her hand free and Surtr fell back blood beginning to pool.

Morgana rose standing over Surtr her back turned to Androk as she smirked maliciously licking some more blood from her fingers as she raised the arm again preparing to slash Surtrs throat intending to bleed him like a pig.

Morgana was so focused on killing surtr the world around her had fallen silent. He had served her for hundreds of years and then deserted him only to come back to her home to kill her in it? No she would end him here, she had taught him strength, she would now teach him pain. The roar Androk let out fell on deaf ears. The ground that shook was unnoticed all she could see was Surtr. His playful smirk the smoldering eyes, she now despised it all. She would wipe the smirk from his lips even if it meant she was left open to an attack. Her one mistake was underestimating that single attack.

As she claw came down aiming to slash his throat her body would start to bend. A shoulder charge had knocked her loose from her target her fingers just inches from his throat as she flew away. Even in that moment her gaze did not break she had one thing in mind finishing what she had started those millennia again and she planned on seeing through. Unfortunately for Morgana her body was not as strong as her will. She collided into the wall and before her gaze could even focus upon Surtr it was blocked out by a pounding the likes of which no one had experienced. The volley of fists had such power and such speed that Morgana didn't even know what hit her. When it finally ended the pulp that used to be her began to fall to the ground limp. Time was moving slower, at least it appeared so. The rush of adrenaline the bodies last surge to stay with the living had sent Morganas mind into overdrive. She could see him as she fell. He was rising slowly clutching his shoulder to try and stop the bleeding. She wanted to go to him now. She tried to move but her mangled body wouldn't.

She hit the ground limp and unmoving, her face tilted in Surtrs direction eyes unwavering upon her. She pleaded with he body to move begged in fact and all she could muster was a finger just a twitch of a finger. Her eyes cast a final gaze to Surtr not one of hatred as before but longing. As if the only thing she wished to change was letting Surtr leave those moments ago. As she looked upon him her vision began to blur and with it the rest of the world as she passed from one plane of existence to the next.

Surtr groaned sitting up fully now and looking to over to Morgana watching her intently. As he saw that gaze his eyes momentarily softened and the smirk left him. For a moment the man shared the pain she felt. As she faded his gaze shifted up to Androk looking to her wondering how such fury could be contained. "You still there?" He inquired looking to her as he winced from cauterizing his wound. He could heal but he'd wait till she came over. He didn't have too much energy left and wanted to ensure that he could heal both of them while he still had the strength.

He stood slowly and weakly watching her rip Morgana limb from limb now destroying what had remained of her form into a form that was no longer recognizable. As he saw this he sighed, that anger. That rage she kept repressed for so long had finally bubbled out he couldn't remember the last time he saw it but he could remember that pain was what followed. His eyes watched her cautiously as he placed his arm over his shoulder. He'd have to heal now, if she attacked he needed to be able to react. A soft orb of fire appeared in front of his shoulder as his wound began to close up.

By the time she turned to him the wound was closed and his stance widened. "Now Androk it's me remember.... If you wanted to bed me you don't have to resort to such barbaric methods." Surtr said his hands up he was waiting. There was a dagger still in Morgana or somewhere near her limp body. He knew he could teleport there to buy himself more time. Though how long could he stall? How long would he be able to last against such ferocity in this weakened state. He sighed rather annoyed with how this venture had panned out now. Morgana was one thing but enraged Androk that was a completely different story. This would not end well if he didn't play his card right.

"Snap out of it old friend...." He beseeched her now, attempting to draw her from this rage. He had to do something, but what? How could he snap her out of this?

As she hunched over Surtr sighed. "s**t..." He said softly as he widened his stance more. When she let out a roar Surtr shook his head. He knew what came next, this was not going to be good. He couldn't use fire, if he burnt her too bad he may not be able to heal her and leaving a scar upon Androk was something Surtr couldn't do. He was still recuperating so space was out of the question. Looked like mind was the only thing remaining.

As soon as her muscles coiled to indicated her movement Surtr put up a barrier of telekinesis just in front of him. She charged faster than he could track actually. As she came in her strength was too much and despite Surtr being able to shift her position he could not stop her. She burst through the barrier and in turn on of her hands connected with Surtrs right leg. It broke almost instantly; his femur breaking from the strike and Surtr subsequently falling to the ground unable to stand with such a break. He sat on the ground drawing his legs in muffling his cry as he focused his mind. He had to focus in order to survive the subsequent attack.

As she would come again if she attacked she would phase through. If she smashed the ground Surtr would remain at the same point. He had successfully shifted his physical form to another plane and it would no longer be able to physically interact with this world. He was safe for now but he couldn't hold this up forever and if he couldn't pull Androk from this form he'd come back meek and in turn would likely be destroyed.

As she punched through him over and over Surtr began to focus energy he had to hurry he had to fight. He was unsure if she would move on after and he knew if she did that she could very well kill everything on this island. As she moved for the cave entrance he followed behind her building up energy he would create a wall of fire if she attempted to leave so thick and hot he doubted she would want to push through and would come at him again. He wasn't sure if he could survive fighting her in this form without killing her. It was quite risky a horribly risky thing to be honest. Something he was terrified of.

As she roared before falling to the wet dirt Surtr phased back into existence. He had formed a tight barrier around his body as he knelt all the weight in his right leg to prevent his femur from screaming out to him in pain. "Androk...." He whispered softly to her as he turned her over with the aid of telekinesis. He brushed he now wet hair from her visage softly as he looked upon her now. "Wake up...." He said softly the words seeming to slip from his mouth as if for once in his life he hadn't control over what he said. He could feel her rage subsiding but his eyes showed concern nonetheless, he gently caressed her cheek trying to stir her from this weakened state and to bring the Androk her new back to the surface. His gaze was soft, no longer confident and cocky as it usually was. It showed true concern something Androk had rarely seen if ever. It appeared this venture was more dangerous tha. Surtr had initially thought meaning he was a fool for thinking how could do this with just Androk.
