Turning just in time to see both Lloyd attack a Nightmare for the first time and Kiyette run into the battle, Kukki's eyes widened considerably. "Lloyd! Kiyette!" she cried out, trying to run into the battle too. However, she was cut off by a large, invisible barrier. Shaking her head to clear her senses, she could only watch helplessly from the sidelines, waiting for Zaimid to make his move.
(Sure, 'cause I'm not sure how Kukki could fight. XD; )

Zaimid watched as Lloyd expertly wielded his two swords. Realizing that he had an opening, the Fancie quickly summoned another Shining Strike, this time aimed for the second Nightmare. When he saw Kiyette jump in, he felt a little relieved, but was careful not to let his gaurd down. He and Lloyd could probably use some help.

(I will update the fight tonight. I just need to make certain Llyods items are listed first in the compendiums. sweatdrop )
(Crimflow)
Kannan was not beneath going as far as he could when given the chance, and the lack of resistance that was given as he took the kiss from Melantha only seemed to encourage his hands to shift and roam a little. Over her slender back and up against the narrow bridge of her neck. His tails entwined themselves quite throughly within her own, constricting themselves like a serpents coils for the time that he held her. With the end of his less then reserved kiss, and the slight push that melantha would give him, his touch and hold would withdraw. Quickly slipping away as if he had decided, just a mere second before she actually pushed, to pull away all on his own. Of course, he had sensed the gentle pressure and merely reacted a bit more...quickly so it would not seem as if she were doing all the pushing away. Turning swiftly upon the ball of one foot, he began to sweep his way down a side passage to some stairs that led upwards.
"Up this way my dear. Come come, it's terribly rude to have guests lingering in the doorway!"
Though rude of him or of her he did not see fit to make it clear by his tone of voice.

Just watching him as he pulled away, she frowned lightly, and slowly followed him with a soft flap of her wings. Her tails seemed to feel sensitive after his left hers, and she looked slightly downcast at letting herself get caught moments before. In her mind, she was just like the other dreams as well as nightmares that flocked to his feet, so she finally was ready to show him her rules.
Moving swiftly after him up the stairs, she softly touched his shoulder and hummed softly to get his attention, "Look, no funny stuff anymore alright...If you try that again I wont stay here..." She frowned lightly, not adding anymore as she let the weak threat hang in the air.

Kannan paused as he felt the tap upon his shoulder, and his head cocked slightly to the side to peer at her while she hummed for his attention. Beneath the forwards fall of his duo tone bangs, only the faintest impression of a eyebrow being perked could be seen, a she would so terribly boldly tell him -her- terms.
Nary a twitch of his tail or tilt of his ear came as warning to his sudden act. Spinning with the fluid grace of a practiced dancer, he twisted about to confront Melantha. Both of his fisted paws slammed forth, but not towards her...but rather, at an angle, to force Melantha back a step...and up against the wall, as he'd see fit to thrust his body quite...firmly...against her own, should she not manage to slip away somehow.
"Melantha my sweet...Do I appear to be a jester to you? Mmmm? Am I some sort of clown or Fool? There is nothing 'funny' about anything I have done, or shall do. You...you you you....shall not tell me what I shall and shall not do in my own stronghold. This is my domain sweet fiery Helen. You will not presume to tell me how I may or may not act. Nor will you leave. You've accepted my offer. Offer of training and tutorage. You have taken the first step my dear, and you can not go back. You can not leave, you can not decide that you shall simply flitter back off to your nieave sisters and return to your other worldly life. You are tainted my nymphly Artemis....and any foolish notion that may flit about in your cunning brain of returning to the life you did once hold...ah..I would think it best you cast it from your mind. For till the temple of Water is restored, which is highly doubtful in my mind of ever occuring, there shall be naught anyone can do to purge this taint from you...and do you truely wish your sisters to turn upon you? Hmmmmm?"

She gasped suddenly as her plan backfired, and her words were caught before they left her mouth. All she could see was his suddenly turn and his his paws coming at her swiftly. In a swift heartbeat she felt her back and her wings against the wall, her feet having stepped back as she assumed he was reaching to strike at her, surprised he just pinned her and a little annoyed.
After he finished his long, taunting speech, she bit her lip lightly and just staied silent, finding his close presence to keep her voice locked away for a longer time than she wished. But than her eyes narrowed, and she spoke in a dark tone.
"You have me, but leave my sisters alone..." Her eyes seemed to darken, and she held a tone that showed she would not let him touch her sisters without her making sure he was punished.

Having Melantha pinned as he did against the wall, he shifted one of his fisted paws up, and opened the fingers. Cupping them so he could both press his palm to her cheek, and firmly grip her captive head, he set his intense gaze burning into Melantha's own as he continued to speak. His voice by and far lacking the hesitation the poor Deejarne struggled with.
"And who said anything about me doing anything to them my dear? Oh ho..I see now..."
A chuckle broke his words as his head shook slightly from one side to another, the bangs upon his forehead swaying to and fro with his soft mirthful laugh. Tilting his head forwards to press even more closely upon her, he lowered his voice to a softer whisper, as he had spoken to her andd her sisters in once before.
"You recall my soft words...my small caresses of them don't you? You remember how I whispered to them faintly....you saw how my hand and tail strayed to pet and stroke them. Your sister are....beautiful Melantha. Any dream; tainted, true blood, or otherwise; can see that. I could not resist....expressing my admiration for their lovely forms. I had to let them know, even though my duty forced me to strike out at them, that I was in wonder and awe of them. And why should I not? Is there some rule or law now amoung the ones you once belonged to that expressedly forbids a man to let a woman know he finds her attractive? Hmm? Even as I find you attractive? Is it wrong for me to let you know I find your eyes like glimmering gems? Can I not tell you that your wings make me sigh within at their graceful apperance? Can I not let you know that your tails tempt me to reach out and stroke them? If this is so I am a hundred times more glad that I am not bound by the rules of that particular society! However, you have no need to fear for your sisters....so long as they do not challenge me after all...for I certainly would never challenge them first..."

Her eyes widened as she was forced suddenly to gaze into his icy ones, and she fell into the deathly debths, the fridged color sending a shiver down her spine as she listened to his soft voice play in her ears. As he spoke of her features, each one seemed to shiver or flutter, her eyes lightening in surprise as her tails shifted slowly. However as he spoke of her sisters, her eyes darkened once again, and she realized what he meant by her being 'tainted'.
"Tainted..." She whispered out her thoughts, her face moving slightly away from his gaze, though it caused her to lean into his paw slowly. Her eyes lidded as she was silent but than she smiled, or smirked slowly. It might help her grow in power, she mused, and she bit her lip.

Slowly it seemd that things were being strung together in her mind. Thoughts and ideas were sinking in gently through the knowledge she did and did not have of the way of Nightmares and....in particular...Kannan. As Melantha's head would tilt into his paw, rather then away, a small smirk curled upon his lips. So too did his fingers curl, gently scratching at the soft fur near her ear as he leaned his lips closer to her ear and whispered that single word right back to her.
"Tainted."
As enjoyable as it was for him, to keep her pressed and pinned to the wall, to hold her so and be fully capable of winding his other arm and tails in a more confineing manner about her body...Kannan saw reason to withdraw. Stepping back, he eased the pressure of his body off Melantha's own, and slowly slipped his palm from her cheek. His fingers gently brushing over her temple before he completely removed his unasked for touch from her body.
"To my chambers now...There is a empty room that can be turned into your own quarters while you are my pupil and charge. None of the ...lesser...beasts are allowed up here so you will not be bothered by them...but neither will you be able to benefit from any manual labor they could provide."

Feeling his paws curl against her cheek, her eyes still were lidded as she resisted the urge to purr. A warm shiver flew up her neck as the fur that he was scratching seemed to stand slightly on end. Her heart fluttered once more as she blinked slowly at his withdrawl.
She nodded at his request to the chambers, before adding softly to herself, "And no more side steps and breaks..." She noted they had not gotten very far, and eyes were still upon her of the other beasts, as he called it, were all around. Keeping a step behind him she thought about everything around her, and what was happening. It was hard to realize the darkness that was setting in, and only the image of her sisters gave her the strength to keep some light saved up in her broken soul.

The level above the temple itself may once have housed priest's or priestesses dedicated to the tending of the temple. Now however they were used as Kannans personal quarters. The stairs opened up into a large circular room where a few objects were scattered about. A low table with mats and pillows for sitting upon laid in the center of the room. A few ornate chests were set against the walls, their tops cushioned so they could double as seats as well. A small bookcase with only four or five actual books was set near the opening where the stairs were. Here the walls had been mostly left bare, for upon them, as in the temple below, were gilded figures of dreams painted upon them. However, rather then the acts of war...here there were the acts of passion. Lacking peverted and obscene images all together, these acts of passion were those of the heart rather then the loins. The image of a huntress bounded over a emerld green hill, garbed in bronze gilded hunting gear, she weilded a silver bow and fired off at what appeared to be gold gilded deer. Just a little ways away from her a pair of dreams ran what seemed to be a race. little white swirls of silver curled up behind them as they appeared to laughingly leap over a fallen tree upon a golden path that curved and diminished in the distance. Dancers, wrestlers, scholors, lovers....all about the roomthey were scattered. Each reveling in that which brought them the most joy and sense of accomplishment. As the room below, this room above glinted and reflected in a warm hue of metals.
Kannan paid little heed to the decorations upon the wall however, as he lef Melantha along. There were a total of ten doors in this room, eight on one side, spaced out evenly, and two upon the other side. Motioning to the two that were sort of off and alone, Kannan softly murmured.
"Those two doors lead to stockrooms of sorts. Food and perishables are kept in one, along with the means of preparing and preserving them...it's a kitchen in essence. The other has other sorts of supplies. Cloth and clothing, grooming neccessities, and bits and pieces of things that can be useful in other sorts of situations."
Switching to face the eight doors, he nodded to one on the far left.
"This one here is the largest and obviously is my own room. Sadly these rooms were meant to be naught more then bedrooms so it's hardly a proper suiet. The one beside it is a personal library of mine. Don't go in there. Next to that is the privy, theres no lock on the door though fear not, even the toilet has it's own little curtain to pull round it. Mmmm..the room next to that is a meditation room. Don't go in there unless your with me, and next to that is a weapon practice room. The other three rooms are empty so you can have your pick of them and then..well..I suppose we'll have to dig out some bedroom neccessities for you from the storage room...."

Continuing at a rather excited rate, Ansuz continued forward, her wings barely managing to keep her up above the heated sludge. Yet eventually, the Celestial got a bit fatigued. Not really realizing nor recognizing where she was, she landed rather heavily upon a black stone. "...I want to fly more...." she panted, her head hanging down a bit. Her mind wandered slightly, wondering where in Nowhere she was now. She had been quite familiar with the Crimflow, but due to the lack of wings, she had not explored certain areas, for they had been out of reach. The Celtic Rune dream remained upon the rather randomly placed black stone, resting up a bit.
Alaynia continued to dwindle towards the tail end of the duo. She indeed had slowed quite drastically due to the heat. She had even taken to flapping her wings in a manner which would fan herself off. Heat exhaustion didn't seem to fair well with her, and soon even her concentration seemed to go into keeping cool instead of upon her sister's current location.

Mel walked slowly after him and looked at the room around her. She couldn't help but paused to gaze at the images, but soon raced after him as he started to explain once more, leaving her to follow as best as she could. Instead of questioning his demands for her not to look, she simply moved to his side and faced the other three doors, before turning to him, "Well...I guess we could look at all of the spare rooms...it would be easiest...though I do not need many supplies...a blanket and pillow will suffice for this evening I am sure..."

Lifting his hand Kannan made a slow and rather uncaruing gesture to the three doors.
"Look away then my dear. You'll find they are all pretty much the same, it's only your preference of color that will dictate wich room you want. One is a burgundy color, one a lavender, and the other a sort of muted yellow white. They all have a book nitch and a small seat chest with naught else. I'm sure you can find what other items you want on your own from the supply closet..."
Kannan paused then a moment, one of his handslifting to rub at his chin as he seemed to consider something.
"We will begin your lessons tomorrow, I see no need to rush and hurry now..and besides..I have duties of mine own to tend to...."

Opening the door, she was pleased to see the lavender color, and looked back to him, her face emotionless for a moment before she pulled a hand through her hair. Wings fluttering, she took a deep breath and smiled ever so slightly, "It is perfect for now...don't worry about me, go tend to thoes duties, I mustnt be a bother..." With that said she turned into the room and walked to scout the area, yawning slightly once again to blink it off quickly.
