Tombstone backed off dumbstruck. He always knew Magnolia to be a hot-headed one, but this time oh, ho she was much worse. He took a deep breathe, :Well, Haku did make you 2nd-in-command now didn't he? Give me me something to do." He stated calmly, as he was half-expecting her to suddenly slice him in half with her rapier and short sword that was on her hip. She wasn't one to be fought so close up, face to face.

Advent moved both of his eyes around, staring at Kraze and Sanyome at the same time. "No I don't." He let his hand wave and the Shadow Hand dispersed. "He's no threat." His view full focus came onto Sanyome, "However, you have some explaining to be done." Advent pulled his scythe up and pointed it at the boy.

Drasil smiled evilly as he saw the flower re-emerge, different color patterns revealing the thoughts of the demon. "So they're there huh?" He asked wistfully. "Ah, time to play my old pal!" He was about to leap but the flower's color changed rapidly. "Syra's there?" The smile diminished. "Is she there for our own good? Or the Knights?" The flower didn't respond. It didn't know. He tapped the jewel. A dirt mound formed behind him. "Operation PoisonFrog." He muttered. Both demon forms disappeared. His eyes went bloodshot as he focused his energy on keeping track of his demons. Orchid was forming a "clear" and "desolate" path of deadly buds and several poisonous plants. Fidchell softened the ground into quicksand. Two eyes and a maw could be seen...to the observant. Anyone so unfortunate to not be paying attention was sure to be eaten.

Magnolia scoffed, leaning against the wall. "Me? Hardly, Syra's the only one who is one below Haku." She growled in frustration, punching the wall and leaving quite a few stones cracked. "Fine. The battalions need to be whipped into some kind of shape, they're all lazy asses right now. Make sure the watch are staying awake like they are supposed to, and I don't care whatever else you do." She replied, walking down the hall and turning into a connecting one, heading to her room/office.
Syra nodded, about to pull the shadow hand away. She paused, tilting her head. She could sense two of Drasil's demons at work right where they were. Her eyes went completely black, giving one growl as she saw the maw and quicksand, pinpointing the poisonous plants as well all around them. Drasil, Magnolia was pulled from this wasn't she? She sent telepathically, needing to keep the illusion that she wouldn't help them. She really wouldn't actually, only Sanyome.

Drasil gave a smile knowing that Magonlia was still on their side. "So smart you are Syra! Now, let me take care of the rest!" He smiled sadistically sending the message. "I suggest you leave." He sent before cutting his mind off. He stood high above the wall and jumped forward. He would've smashed into the ground were not for Fidchell's smaller parts that could be dispersed throughout the several areas. He landed softly on his feet and stood with his arms crossed, letting a mound of dirt swiftly care him to their spot. He drew his sword out. He tapped the dirt mound a count of times, and in response the quicksand further away began to live. Drasil grabbed a vine from above his head and squeezed it. He dropped it and Orchid responded by letting the poisonous flowers grow to unnatural sizes. It was all going to his head now.... a bit too much.
_____________________________________
Tombstone stood where he was. He was about to follow, press on, but decided against it for his own life. He would do as she said. The guards were becoming quite useless to them as they themselves could do just as easily all the work the guards did, and possibly even more! But Haku was intent with keeping his guards there. Just what was Haku planning anyways?
((Note to Raven: If you wish you can control Haku for now; for whatever plotline you have planned; if you have one.))

Syra rolled her eyes, sighing. Tapping Sanyome, she made a gesture, one that he would recognize. She was telling him to take the other two and go, that they would die otherwise. Syra didn't quite leave, quickly placing them under protection from the poisoned flowers, hoping it would be enough.
"Syra, what is Drasil doing?" Haku asked, walking up behind her, eyes narrowed.
"Going after Sanyome and some of the Knights. Mainly two. He's overdoing it though..."
Haku sighed in slight frustration, waving a hand. "Drasil! Report back to the fortress. Now." Haku barked at him, time had seemed to stop, the demons and others alike freezing except for Syra.
She was just watching silently, wondering what was up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Magnolia plopped down on her bed, her head in her hands. Her expression was mournful, she was letting her depression win again. There was a constant battle between her and this..monster as she put it. Its probably why she was always so harsh. But she felt more alone than anything, no companion, no love...A lonely soul who scared most people.

Drasil stopped his soon to be pursuit. He was about to protest before a wave of tremendous force blew him backwards off his ride. He got up, his back roughed up. "Yes sir...." He muttered. He tapped his jewel in frustration and disappointment, he had been really really looking forward to it. Orchid retracted and soon appeared to be harmless, but still dangerous. Fidchell gave it's master a ride back to the forretress. Drasil dismissed his pets. He looked to where Syra and Haku were. This wasn't fair!

Haku, Syra, and Magnolia were already waiting in Haku's office, the rest would have to be debriefed later. "Now. Magnolia, the reason you were withdrawn was because our focus has to shift to solely Tomo." Haku looked around at all of them, his eyes unforgiving. "Syra, if you can remain a mole in the Knight's group, then make it so. Magnolia, I want you monitering things here. Stay in charge, and only carry something out after consulting with me. For now, you will take Syra's place in rank, while she is with the Knights." Haku then turned his attention to Drasil, the anger within his eyes rather obvious.
"As for you, I know you like doing what you were about to do to Sanyome and the other two. I have no qualms with that, but given how close Sanyome and tomo are, we need him alive. I know Magnolia said you could take over if you wanted to. she did not order you to. So do not even try to say it was her fault. Did I say you could go off and kill them? Hm? Answer me Drasil!"

Sanoyme was confused at what just happend, after Syra and Drasil were called off. "I didn't think they'd NOT kill me if I betrayed Haku..." he said confused.He shrugged and just followed after Tomo and Renka again.

"No...sir... you did not." He replied with a growl. He looked over at Syra and Magnolia. They were apparently all set for their parts. What the hell was he supposed to do? True, he had gone off to kill Sanyome and Tomo, all because Magnolia had let him, not by orders. Is that what angered Haku so much? This seemed a bit too convienant for the others. He felt set up. He went after a target given to him. It was almost a free chance! This was definitely annoying. "What would..." He started, "You like me to do sir?"

Haku gave a nod, pacing a little. "You would have protested when I called you back, disobeying me. What angers me is that. If my soldiers and commanders do not follow orders, what good are they to me?" Stopping, he turned to Drasil, "I would have sent you to fetch Tomo, but you did not control your impulses well when going after Sanyome. Too bloodthirsty. That was not the time for it. So, I want you to take over Tombstones job and ensure that our troops are better-trained and that the guards and sentries will never fall asleep or fail me. Tombstone will be the go-between for Syra and me. Am I clear?"
Syra kept her eyes lowered, keeping her own opinion of Haku correcting/humiliating Drasil in front of them. But she couldn't say anything, it wasn't her place to comment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Magnolia kept her head bowed, feeling a little guilty about sort of putting Drasil in this position. But she was happy that she was taking over Syra's position for the time being, very happy indeed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Taku was trying to keep his composure, but still he felt himself blush, looking to Renka. Here goes... "Erm...What I'm saying is that..." He sighed, appearing a little angry at himself, "Ok, like with Rika. I get really worried when I don't know where she is because she's like a little sister to me. And then there's Tomo because she's our charge. Then there's you. I'd say the one I worry about most is you, because...well, because..." He cursed himself in his head, he just couldn't say it. Taku! get ahold of yourself! It's just a couple of words, say it!

ShadowLadyRaven Byhora looked up and smiled, half-rising from her chair until he sat down. "It's ok Wolf. Though, I won't say I wasn't worried. I had them keep your food warm in the kitchen until you came." She told him, kissing his cheek. Seconds after she spoke, servants came out with his portion of the meal, everything she knew he liked.

Renka smiled at him, knowing now what he wanted to say, He can't say it, can he? She thought to herself.

Taku had grown scarlet, finally blurting it out. "Because I love you." If possible, his cheeks darkened even further, his eyes searching her face for some reaction, approval maybe? Hopefully not rejection.

"... Intimidate..." Kraze say it so silent so no one can hear him. Then a blink of light shine on his hand and disappears quickly. "So she is one of Haku's minions..." he said to himself after he was removed form the shadowbind.
