Welcome to Gaia! ::

And Leon can take out an entire city with a single whim "Let's take it down then." Rayl dropped down from the tree a few feet behind the boar and pulled out his naginata.

Rayl stood up not holding onto his naginata and got a running start, he began to float on the air and began spinning rapidly. Rayl delivered a devestating kick to the boar's torso and sent it flying into another tree. Before the boar could regain conscience Rayl jumped into the tree and rebounding off a branch Rayl pounced toward the boar ready to strike again.

Rayl kicked the boar backwards releasing it's tusk from Rayl's stomache. "I hate you kid...." Rayl flipped backwards and stood infront of the boar. When the boar charged Rayl he grabbed his weapon and jumped over the boar and swung his blade at the boar's head.

Suddenly, a pack of wolves leaped out from the brush and surrounded Kenji. There were around 10 of them. Kenji knew he could probably take out 1 or 2 of them, but 10 proved to be a bit much...he was in serious trouble! The wolves bared their teeth and growled as they circled around Kenji slowly, the circle began to grow smaller and smaller as they drew near. Suddenly, one of the wolves pounces at Kenji, who places his arms in front of himself, tryinng to defend himself....but nothing happened....

Slowly, Kenji lowered his arms only to see a man with only one eye and a tattered cloak, holding the wolf's mouth open with both hands, one holding each part of the wolf's mouth. The man then pushed outward on both parts of the wolf's jaw, ripping the wolf's head in two completely. The other wolves hesitated, then 3 more came running at the man. The man pulled out a half-barreled shotgun from his cloak and blew 2 of the wolves away, then kicked the other wolf in the face, causing it to stagger back a bit. At that instant, another wolf appeared out of nowhere and attacked the wolf that the man kicked in the face. The man then held up his two right fingers and then did a slashing diagonal motion with them downward as Kenji heard him say: "Sword of the Fallen Devil!" A blue light blade extended from the man's two fingers instantly. Kenji was dumbfounded at this and decided to give the man some room and retreated a safe distance away, still watching the battle from behind a tree. He saw the man and what seemed to be his pet wolf fight off the rest of the pack, eventually leaving only 3 wolves left. The 3 remaining ones retreated with their tails between their legs.

Lonewolf stood there, panting heavily. His blue blade dissipated from his fingers and he kneeled down to Locke who was limping a bit. After investigating his wounds, Lonewolf held his right hand over Locke's wound, "By the Light. I heal thee." A faint white glow emanated from his palm, healing Locke instantly. Lonewolf then stood up and turned to regard the kid who was hiding behind the tree. "You can come out now, kid! The wolves are gone!" He shouted. The boy stepped out from behind the tree. Lonewolf can tell by the look in the boy's eyes that he recognized him. This was the same kid who was fighting that golden wolf back at the guild ruins, the same kid who was travelling with Lion...so it was no surprise to Lone that the kid recognized him. "What the hell are you doing in this forest, kid?!" Lonewolf asked coldly, glaring at the boy with his one eye. "Don't you know how dangerous it is here?!" He asked again, still with that same harsh tone. "...Well?! Speak up!"

"......"

Lonewolf remained silent, then turned his head to the side, looking away from Kenji. "I was once." He said honestly, "...but those days are over for me." He walked past Kenji and started heading home. He stopped after a few steps. "Follow me, kid. This is no place to have a conversation." Kenji nods and follows Lonewolf and his pet wolf through the forest.

After a few minutes

They both arrive at an old rickety cabin that looked quite disturbing and desolate from the outside, but once Lone opened the door, the interior was the complete opposite. It had a warmer feel to it. Lonewolf gestured to one of his couches, "Have a seat." He said plainly, then walked over to a fireplace and held out his palm. "Pyro." A small burst of flame came out from his palm and catching the logs on fire instantly. He then walked over to the couch opposite of Kenji and sat down.

"Master! Your home! Thank goodness and..." Little Violet popped out from behind the couch to welcome her master, but then saw Kenji on the seat opposite to him, "...who is that?"

Kenji seemed surprised by the 6-inch persacom. He had never seen a human being so little. Lonewolf turned to Violet and waved her off casually, "Don't worry about it, Violet. He is just a guest. Can you serve him and I a glass of white wine while we chat?" Lonewolf glanced at Kenji and changed his mind, "Actually, I'll have wine...our guest should just have water." Lonewolf turned to regard Kenji as he crossed his arms. "Now then, in regards to your last question back in the forest: Yes. I was a dragoon and yes, I knew Lion and Shadow. In fact, I was their leader..."

Lonewolf winced at the mention of his name...how he loathed it. He nodded slightly, "Yes. That would be me. Although I gave up on that name 600 years ago...."

Lonewolf proceeds to tell Kenji the same story he told Lion. He noticed the somewhat scared look in Kenji's eyes after he revealed the darker side of his personality, and after discussing his dark past.

"No need to fear me, boy. I may loathe the human race, but that doesn't mean I would actually go out on a killing spree. I saved your life, did I not? I may be a cold and cynical old man, but I'm not evil." Once he finished this sentence, Violet came towards Lone holding a tray above her head which contained, Lonewolf's glass of wine and Kenji's glass of water. Lonewolf plucked the glass of wine off of the tray, saluting in appreciation, "Ah, thank you, Violet." He stated. Violet walked over to Kenji, who also picked up his glass drink. Violet then scurried back to the kitchen with the empty tray.

"Anyway..." continued Lonewolf after taking a sip of his wine, "Now that you know who I am...I am quite interested in learning something about yourself. I was watching your fight back at the guild ruins...though, I'm afraid I wasn't there long enough to witness the ending of your battle. However, seeing that you are in one piece, one could only assume that you were the victor, correct?"

Kenji nods.

"Just as I thought. You have a lot of potential in you kid...so much in fact that it seems familiar. You see, you remind me of myself when I was your age. Though I was far stronger then you are now...but it is your aura that catches my interest. Tell me, child, who are you and where did you come from?"

Kinera stepped off of the bus with her bag strape crossed over one shoulder so she could move without her bag falling off. The bus stopped at the main base for entering and exiting the forest and camping site. Kinera walked over to the edge of the little multch paved area and the start of the forest, attempting to call Rayl on his phone. "Great, dimwit's got his phone off. Guess I'll have to find him the hard way," Kinera walked into the forest unnoticed by anyone. Kinera had always been able to find her brother when the two got split up, perhaps this time it would be the same.
