Xol was starting to pace around the bar area, downing drink after drink of vodka as he was slowly getting lit. After roughly his twentieth vodka on the rocks he exploded into a plume of black mist.
He appeared on the far end of the Keep overlooking the land. His eyes bored in on the Mansion. The glass of vodka rolled in his right hand from his wrist movements, some even spilling on the ground. Xol imagined that Phia would call him on alcohol abuse for that. He chuckled and then a growl immediately followed as the glass exploded from the pressure that was suddenly exerted on it by Xol's balled fist. Phia.

Xol would be left standing on the balcony of the Keep for a few more moments before he would feel an torrent of emotions that was astonishing to say the least, it was suffocating. Frusteration, anger, self-loathing, griefe, sadness, pain, none were positive emotions. Then her scream flooded the keep. It confirmed the emotions. Her power spiked and when Xol would come upon her in the training room she had a rapier in hand and was furiously fighting the AI droids zooming through the air. A few already lay twitching and sparking in bits and pieces on the room's floor. As good as Xol was at this training thing , Phi had him trumped at the moment. She was making no effort to hide the green aura that wrapped and crackled around her form at the moment. Her power was unknown to all outside of the keep's barrier anyway. But those within would find it uncharacteristically suffocating. Either Phi had found new power or she was damn good at concealing what was hidden under her normal facade.

Xol would be overcome with Phia's emotions, falling to one knee as his eyes rolled up at the sensation of so much negative energy. He felt bad for her feeling such despair, but also welcomed such black energy. With a shuddering gasp he was gone in a plume of black mist.
He appeared in the training room, leaning back against the opposite wall and watching her with arms crossed across his bare chest. Xol watched in quiet admiration as she sliced through training droids and such in front of him. An odd green aura was surrounding her which quirked his interest even more. Phia had an aura? "Phia love, you hide your power quite well. I'm impressed." His brow was furled in an expression of puzzlement. "What happened in the Mansion to cause you such anguish?"

Phia was so focused on destroying the AI droids that she didn't even hear Xol's words but she knew he was there all the same. Her muscles flexed under the leather training suit as she moved quickly. Her aura flared around her and licked at Xol's own aura. Phia was becoming so quick and vicious that her moments were practically impossible to follow. Still there was a carefully controlled fury in her eyes.

Xol's own aura had been lazily flickering around his body, but now that he had been ignored and realized she was becoming more unstable, it agressively flared to life. The ceiling and floor both buckled under the immense strain of his power, his silver aura pulsing intensely. "PHIA!" He bellowed, sending a gust of hard air to try and gain her attention.
Xol didn't want her losing control and posibly harming herself. If need be he would step in harms way to protect her from herself.

Phia's focus could not be simply deterred by his yelling but the attack to get her attention suceeded. She brought her rapier down on wind strike and sliced it in two. She rounded on him and snarled, hissing. Then began her slow pacing towards him. She was obviously beyond what some would consider her right mind. How ever weak anyone thought Phia may have been, this would definently put their doubts to the ground. Her lips drew back over her fangs, exposed as she growled at him.

Xol sneered and walked towards her slowly, did she want to play? He didn't want to hurt her of course, but if need be, he would use force to bring her to her senses. Giving up on talking to her for the moment, Xol got in an agressive stance. His breathing was a little erratic from still being intoxicated by her intense raw emotions.
He dashed forward sending a fist towards her jaw, but pulled it at the last second and sent a more debilitating punch towards the middle of her solarplexes.

Unfortunately for Xol, Phia in her right mind was well versed in combat so when she wasn't in her right mind, she still knew how to fight, only this time it was without inhibitions. She wouldn't give a damn if she hurt him and probably thirsted for blood the way she stared him down, licking her lips. She caught his real punch in her own fist and clenched his hand in a manner that would surely cause it to break if Xol didn't pull it away. Phia had tossed her rapier away and it dissapeared to it's resting place. Phi would fight with her hands and magics if need be. Her taloned hand came up and across his chest, aiming to draw blood.

Feeling pressure on his hand, he grinned and pulled back, in effect being slashed across the chest. An odd idea popped into his head and he forced his blood to stay blood instead of becoming mist. Thus the wound would stay open and bleed instead of turning to mist and healing like always.
"Is that what you want mi amor?" He cooed, running a finger along a line of blood on his chest and licking it off. Perhaps he could persuade her out of her insane demeanor by playing to her bloodlust?

Phia started up at him with livid violet eyes, the green flecs mixed in were glowing brightly. She snarled at him a bit then looked to her fingers, watching the red liquid roll down her nails. She brought her fingers to her mouth and licked them again. Again Xol was wrong about how easy it would be to get Phi back to normal. The blood would lure her to her senses but far away from them. She growled again, she'd have this creature before her and drain every last drop of crimson from him. Foreward she stepped, like liquid, gone were the confines of gravity from her movements like she moved through water one step slipping into the next. She walked and then she was gone, appearing behind him, grabbing for the back of his neck.

Well, that didn't work. He wondered what could have caused her to be pushed over the edge like this. What had happened at the Mansion that caused such an overwhelming feeling of sadness and then for her to appear here a raging lunatic? A thought popped in, but he pushed it out. Impossible. Xol dropped down onto his hands in a splits position. He spun around, using his legs to try and trip her up.

Phia knew the technique too well, it was overused. She simply jumped, after he had came out of the spin and went crashing down on him, talons ready to tear the flesh from him. Her aura whippped around her violently and struck at Xol's, trying to eat at it. Her hands now glowed neon green as they crackled and suddenly burst into flamed energy. She would kill him.

Xol, finally realizing she was serious and wanted to cause him bodily harm, dropped onto his back and raised his knees to his chest. As soon as she landed he would immediately flip her off, hard, hoping to cause her to tumble right into the multi-thousand pound heavy bag.
He would rise to his feet and toss two dark matter orbs. One would hit the ground and send up debris and a cloud of dust towards her area of vision. The other would sail towards her.

Some form of defense was expected but as to what she didn't know. Phia slammed against the training bag hard and the thing moved a few inches from his place. It was something that would leave Phi with a concussion in her normal state but the way she was right now she didn't give a damn about that much. A growl camp from the dust as it was thrown up, luckily she had time to cover her eyes. As for the orb flying at her it made it through the haze and she threw up her hands, covered in energy, the dark manner slammed into her palm but was stopped from achieving it's full potential as the energy tore it apart. Blades of lime green would then sail through the cloud, perhaps a dozen in all, aiming to skewer Xol.

Xol used the training drones to take out her lime green energy blades, one by one. He would then send three small drones at her, one with a tiny blade, another with a tiny plasma weapon and the third was an odd black one that would stop just beyond her reach. Any attack she might aim towards the black orb would just be dodged as it zipped around supernaturally.
