A look of horrer passed over her face, but her features quickly cleared. Tsuki, You and Auren go on ahead, I have to go get Freya out of there, I brought her here, and I intend to take her back out in one peace. She glared at Tsuki , dont even think of trying to come, you are in no condition to fight, and Auren, you must stay here, and make sure nothing happens to her, or I'll know why!" Visibly calming she fingered the hilt of her broad sword, I only need this for safety measures. I should be able to get in, and out withing a few minutes, Provided Freya stayed where I put her. Without waiting for an answer she reached inside herself for the core of her power, shaping it to fit her needs, the outline of her body began to shiver...

"Damnit Shavas! You know I can't shadow teleport when I'm this weak! I don't care that you don't want me there!" Tsuki continued to rant as she and Auren continued to run. Once they were on the outside, Shavas could use her as a point for teleportation...or whatever the hell it is that she does.
Houka went on to the secret entrance to the antechamber as quietly as she could while still sprinting. The girl that was in there was still there...granted, she had a bloodthirsty demoness hanging over her about to sink her claws into the girl's gut...but she was still there. She finally reached the door and kicked through it. On the other side the demoness was surprised enough that Houka got a shot in with her throwing knife and it sunk into the demon's left eye.
As the body dropped, the girl began to stir. Her eyelids flickered and then opened...

Shavas couldnt help but giggle helplessly at Tsuki's furious ranting, but soon that all faded away, the colors shirfted, and she stood in the middle of a mostly deserted ballroom, littered with the bodies of the unfortunate pukes who hadnt been sharp enough to figure out that tonight, the game was move, or die. She sprinted to the cluster of chairs in the front corner, knowing what she was hoping for was to good to be true. Freya wasnt there, as she had expected, but neither was her body. Frowning Shavas closed her eyes and reached out with her power. There, in the ante chamber. She wove her way through the maze of corpses, wrinkling her nose in disgust. Such a waste. Flinging the door open she stopped dead in her tracks, totally shocked. One wall was smeared with blood, and the king, and his family were on the ground, obviously dead, and hardly recognizeable, but there, a glint of red. Freya lay on the ground and for one sickening moment she thought she was dead, but there was a girl standing near, over the body of a dead demoness.
Her vision swam, as she struggled into consciousness, her head pounded, and she couldnt quite remmember where she was. then memory struck her, and she sat up quickly, yelping as her head protested, and sliding back to the floor in a pile. Her attacker lay dead nearbye, and a strange girl was looking at her. She groaned, "What the hell is going on here?"

"Well hello there! How are you feeling? You've got a nasty bump on your head, but I can fix that." With that, Houka put her hand on the wound and infused it with some of her power. She was part of a thought-to-be deceased clan that was renowned for their healing...sadly, she was the last and she was the only one that knew about it.
"I don't know what you were doing in here, but we should leave, it is getting reallydangerous to be here!"
Tsuki pushed a seemingly random boulder and the darkness disappeared to be replaced with a drizzle of rain and a cloudy sky.
"Well Auren, are you up to waiting for a while? I know Shavas and she can indeed take a while."
Auren said something along the lines of sure and Tsuki told him to follow her. He did and soon they were in a clearing with many trees surrounding them. "Welcome to grove # a3. The veil you see in the middle will lead you to gather room # b4 on the island of Tique in the capital of...Tique."
He said something in the positive and they both got ready to wait. Tsuki's wounds were finally starting to heal as the shadows were taking care of her body. Her shadow armour was repairing itself in the places it had been torn and she set to searching for a suitable weapon.

Freya sighed with relief as the cool power of the healing magic eased her aching skull, she smiled at the girl thankfully, as she got to her feet, She held out her hand, "Hello, Im Freya Yamagata." She motioned towards the demoness' body "Apparantly I need not only thank you for fixing me up, but for saving my life, Im in your debt!" Her gaze slid past the girl, and saw her mother gazing at her steadily, calculatingly, And dropped her eyes to stare at the, now very interesting blood stained floor, she was in for it, and she knew it.
Edit: Im goin to bed Spoof, Ill be up later, kk?
edit: kk, I'll see you later.

"No problem, the name's Houka, it's a pleasure to meet you." She bowed to Freya and then turned to Shavas.
"Is she your daughter? I would assume so, I can sense it...that and your eyes. They're the same." She surveyed the corpses of the royals and snorted. Though she had been greatly disturbed by the occurance earlier, she had never really like them anyway.
"I suppose we should all get moving before more demons decide they want to impale themselves on something sharp...or in other words, attack us." She began walking back through the door she'd kicked out of concealment moments before. She stopped and looked over her shoulder at Shavas and said, "Tsuki is waiting, you should take your daughter and go. Good luck and gods speed to all of you." With that she disappeared down the dark tunnel and back towards the Veil location.

"Dammit. I told her to stay where I put her." Auren growled. He looked at Tsuki. "A Pissed Off Light Dragon IN the Citadel. If something isn't going to die, call me a farmer."
Alhana stalked the corridors of the Citadel, looking for her husband. She had saved quite a few people at this point, and she fancied her body count was around Auren's.
Well, when one has nearly infinite power to power her spells, since her corruption allowed her to pull power from Darkness as well as Light. The demons didn't like that, no they sure as hell don't. She could sense that Auren was here, then he wasn't and was somewhere to the Northeast. Sighing, she returned to her bloody work of killing demons, and rescuing the besieged civilians.

(I making the assumption my character didn't move...my head hurt after attempting to read a few small fonted posts so I gave up)
"I'm not sure. I mean we could use all the help we can get. But I'm really nott sure what we're in need of. And I couuldn't possibly put your life in danger."
Yamio sighed and let her mind slip back into Auren's Sior Auren, ou're still alive right? What is going on around here? And also...we have someone who would like to help...if he can that is. HE can use Earth majic, and turn into a demon....

YOU KNOW WHAT I DON'T CARE IF YOU DON'T LIKE PEOPLE IN YOUR HEAD! IT'S YOUR OWN DAMN FAULT FOR TAKING OFF AND LEAVING ME HERE! As for the demons...well I kinda figured as much...wait...all of them? Who told you this?
At that point yami paused and auren felt like he was being glared at
I take it you're not saving any for us?

Saving anyone? I'm in the middle of that right now. You're still with Toleranth, right? So you don't need saving. I can feel Lady Alhana's around here somewhere, and she's filling in for me. A girl named Tsuki, and someone else named Shavas. Shavas is off getting her daughter back, and I'm watching Tsuki's back for now, then going back into the Citadel. If anything, I needed to rest, arms' getting tired and everything.
Alhana felt the exchange between Yami and Auren, and was able to extrapolate both of their locations from the relatively. It wasn't difficult to find Toleranth and Yami.
"Good Evening Lord Toleranth and Lady Yami... What are you doing here?" She turned to Tairon, and didn't recognize him at all. "Good Evening Sir." Done with plesantries she turned to Toleranth. "Things are getting ugly. If anything, I've seen the corpses of the Royal Family. I've done what I can to evacuate those that I could, and the others are on their own. Auren will be back sooner or later, and then we can start purginging this infestation, and maybe even force Laos to change his mind."

I mean the demons silly. You're not saving any for us to have fun with. Yami giggled slightly THough now that I think about it...it's probably for the best. And yes I'm still with Tolly...I wouldn't take off on him twice in the same day...or maybe I would. Tsuki and Shavas... YOu'd best rest the first chance you get.
Yami turned her attention to Alhana and sstared rather blankly for a moment before her manners returned and murmured a quiet "Good evening" It hit her then and she turned to look at Tolly and then back to Alhana, not careing who answered "Who is Laos?"

Tolly nodded respectfully to Alhana, and looked at Yami. "Loas is the guy we half to kill in order to end the suffering of the world, and bring peace to the lands, but standing here won't get it done."
Tolly started walking towards demonic presences, using the little box till the hasp folded over and sealed. Tolly put it away. "Welll that is full now, guess its hand to hand now, you ready yami chan, and if you wish t stick with us Alhana, i wouldn't mind the company, but where is objective taking you?"

"I'm ready...or well as ready as I'm going to be anyways." she murmured softly, her thoughts turning to Laos. "No I suppose standing here won't get anything done.."
"Wait Tairon...you can help" she murmured turning her attention to Tairon, smiling "I'm sure you can be a big help fighting."

Shavas nodded curtly, it was no surprise that someone had noticed her, and Freya's simularities, They were almost identical in most ways. She watched Houka leave, and then directed her gaze to her disheveled, and bloodstained daughter. Frowning dissaproval over her ruined garment. "Well I suppose now isnt the time to ask for you explination hm?" She muttered, walking over to Freya, and taking her hand. The girl was trembling uncontrollably, and there was a look of wild fear in he eyes. Sighing Shavas dropped her hand, and grasped her shoulders, pulling her into a quick, but tight hug, and kissing her forehead, nevermind the blood, and grime that had gathered there. Assuming that Freya was in no cndition, or mental state to be pulled across the magical highways she led the girl out the doorway, and towards the veil, following in Houka's footsteps.
Freya's eyes widened in amazement. She wasnt sure what had caused this sudden spur of affection, but It was sort of nice, she returned the hug, and then followed her mum out the door. The sccene before her was enough to give her nightmares for weeks, if the king, and his own did not. Bodies littered the floor. Some gaudily dressed humans, and half elves. And some horribly mutated creatures she could only assume where demons from her mothers descriptions. I say assume, because a sort of oily fire was slowly consuming the boidies of the demons, crackling in delight at its feast. Shavas led her outside to a cluster of trees, and a few people were waiting. Her mother greeted them as 'Auren', and 'Tsuki'.
