Silver_Flare304 The sound of snow crounching from foot steps on it, across the sleet of snow upon the land he walked on."...am i lost again,..." he said a bit low..
His head raises up and stares off into the distance of white snow, a cold breeze fell from the sky upon him, creating a burst of wind hitting his face makeing his scarf fly back crazily.He simply left his one grey eye open."....is the weather..ever change.." he said walking again, his Void Blade hanging on his side, his brownish hair waveing a bit back and forth."any life..out there..at all..." he said low again, almost a whisper.He continues to walk on, he seemed like he was just wandering to this land, then for a second his stops and takes a bit of a cautious looks around the area."Dangour..?hmm..nope.." he walks across the snow leavieng his prints of his foot out as he walked on. (( ayee Terribly sorry about this, took me so long but it's saturday =] so i have time to rp =D )) His steady pace moveing forward seemed calm. He showed no emotion as he walked, still he was a mysterious act. Not showing more of himself he walked on to seek out what he thought he would find of a being a home, a friend. "Someone.."he said silently.

Within the catacombs of the Tower of Vestain, in a room not so dissimilar from the one that Streak had been brought back to the world of the living on...lay a second body...that of Adenia Laren.
The chilling silence within the room gave the impression that the lifeless corpse of the once fabled Mistress of Dragons was it's only occupant, but soon enough this guess will prove false.
Luin Ryera, still fuming over the dissapearance of both the carriers of the Lietha Blood, entered the room via the stairwell at the northern most end of the room.
Still he had a task at hand and he knew that he should not allow himself to become so worried with such a distant future...besides he could not begin the hunt for them until he had resurrected the Hunter.
Luin came to stand on the left side of the dais that Adenia's corpse was set upon. He set his left hand upon her forehead and his right upon her collarbone. Unlike the time that he had resurrected Streak; Luin would not be bringing Adenia back from the dead per say...
Luin then closed his eyes and began to utter phrases under his breath that were not in any tongue that even his brother Damien would recognize. It was some time before the result of his labors manifested themselves into some sort of result.
Adenia's hand flinced slightly and Luin immediatly ceased in his words. He then drew a strange crystal shard from a satchel at his hip and placed the shard in the hollow of Adenia's throat. Immediatly the gem sank into her flesh, disappearing completely.
Suddenly Adenia's eyes flared upon, and she tried to take a breath in surprise, it was then that she realized that she was no longer breathing...nor did her heart beat.
She struggled to move but much like when Streak was brought back, her form was greatly weakened from the transition.
Luin took this opportunity to speak.
"I am pleased to see you awake Adenia...though I suppose it would be most appropriate to skip past the boring chit chat and introduction...because I am most certain you know who I am, and I know very well who you are."
Luin paused for a tense moment, to allow his little monologue to sink in.
"What have you done to me Ryera!" screamed Adenia in utter rage, though an undertone of fear was undeniably present in her voice.
"Demanding aren't you?" Luin said with a dry papery smirk.
"I will have to see to it that you are taught not to speak out of turn, it could become most annoying." he remarked.
"Though your question has proper reason behind it so I will answer..."
Luin then stepped closer to look down at her. "You belong to me now...You no longer have the luxury of free will...or the ability to disobey my commands in any form or fashion. Though of course there is a lovely reward for your services...You have been given a second chance at life as well as a new found power...still your life and your power belongs to me, so there really is not upside for you." Luin said with a sinister but brief laugh.
"You sick b*****d!" shouted Adenia, as she struggled to rise.
"Silence!" shouted Luin.
Adenia was then surprised in the fact that she could no longer speak, she opened her mouth to protest but no sound came forth.
"Much better" Luin mused.
He then turned to leave the room. "You will learn how to play this game soon enough Adenia...with loyalty and success comes reward, should you serve my purposes well enough I will restore you to your former self."
Adenia tried to speak again but no sound came forth.
Luin then turned his back to her as he began to ascend the stairs, his brother Damien and Jadea waited in the threshold. "See to it that her pet is ready for travel within the hour...the beast and her master are to go hunting..."

((Holy s**t Crow, that was breathtakingly awesome. I hope you don't have that kind of skill if we ever fight O.o;; XD And also, since gourou is absent....))
Archer nodded to Streak "I agree, fast moving feet are better than still ones, though it has been quite eventful, maybe we should approach from behind, in a sense." He looked at Issildia "Hey, im plenty precautious! Who's the one who trusted the Ryerans?"

"To tell you the truth I don't think she actually trusted them. She only went to save me. It began a neutral bargain. At least, that was how I saw it." Streak said. He also turned to Issildia.

Issildia glanced away, "The agreement I had with Luin was indeed a neutral one, I did my part and he did his. Luin may be a clever b*****d, but he does keep his word... we understand each other in that respect."
Issildia then looked back at them, "But no....I do not trust the Ryera...I never did, I was only doing what was necessary...nothing more."

(( Oi, I don't post that often. Sorry about that sweatdrop but hey, I got a ninja headband whee ))
Zeo, already knowing how powerful Kuchane was, was still surprised at his skills. Once he noticed that Kuchane's energy was growing weak, he shook his head and smiled " That is enough Kuchane. Take what you have already made and give every body here a position in our castle... After that, I will allow you to rest " Zeo stated emotionlessly as he gazed at the ceiling, thinking of how long they have before they can ever act soon. Zeo said under his breath " With as weak as we are now, we may not be able to survive an attack if anyone discovers us... damn, as fast as we are growing, it still is too slow..." He closed his eyes, and tapped his finger along his leg.

Khastur looked down, "I trust the Ryeran people, that's the only reason I want to kill Luin. I don't think you three can quite grasp the other side of the issue yet, but I know in my heart that it's not the Ryeran's at fault." Khastur sighed and looked up, he saw a black dot far off, he squinted to try and see but saw it as futile, dismissing it as nothing.

"I don't hate your people Khastur..." said Issildia stoically as they continued towards the northeast. "I have never wished them any ill will. Only the immediate members of the Ryera clan that still carry the name of their forefathers, are my enemies...the brothers Luin and Damien are the last of the Ryera line. Therefore they are my enemies...not the people that they rule over."

"There is wisdom in that, how long will it be until we reach our destination? Any and all camping out will become a sordid affair now-- Ryera's dark knights, and all of Larovia wants us dead-- we don't have much friendly ground to tread on these days, and what of the satellite countries and principalities? They may have turned to Larovia in appeasment, we can hardly stay in towns now unless they are directly linked to Anier.." Khastur sighed. "A dark time ahead."

"Sadly enough, since the fall of Anier, we shall find little shelter. Though personally I have aided Nicholas Remos the ruler of Keirdon in dealing with a certain irritance in his high council, quite frankly Lord Remos owes Anier along with myself a favor...he can grant us shelter in Faltora and safe passage out of his immediate lands on our journey to the Caves of Eska." Issildia paused briefly before continuing.
"Still it will take us at least two to three days to journey through the Aldrene desert...if we keep at this pace I am most certain we can transverse it in two days or less."
Issildia suddenly became silent as she spotted a small black form on the horizon coasting just above the ground. Suddenly the small figure rocketed into the sky to disappear into the dark night sky. For a moment all was silent until a horrific roar rippled through the silence of the dark.
Issildia cursed as she drew her blade Sumar, "I thought she was dead!" she said in disbelief.
As she said this a slender black shape dropped out of the clouds flaring out it's narrow wings as it descended a few hundred feet. It's rider was barely visible on the back of the ebony dragon amidst the dark sky.
It was all to obvious that Adenia Laren walked once again in the realm of the living...

Khastur dismounted, he couldn't help but break a smile "A woman like that would never be content with staying dead, I'm sure. My question is, who exactly does she answer to now?" Khastur drew his sword "I didn't want to fight her yet, a bit sudden-- but, oh well." Khastur reached into his pack and grabbed out Adenia's weapons that she lost to Khastur in the last battle "Adenia! Do you remember these? You can have them, once you pry them from my cold, dead hands!"

The dragon and it's master swiftly descended until the ebony beast leveled off flaring out its wings sending sand flying outward as it continued to fly onwards towards it's prey. The dragon flew so low to the ground that its hooked wingtips brushed against the sandy desert earth with every downbeat.
As it drew closer with startling speed its rider became visible. Adenia seemed to have lost her normal haughty attitude as she glared at Khastur with venom.
"Indeed warrior, you shall be dead soon enough" she hissed at him. "Though I no longer need those trinkets."
Adenia glanced down at the newly wrought clawed gauntlet that Luin had outfitted her with, and a new dragon fang blade also hung at her hip, it was yet another tool that Luin had given his new servant. Adenia looked at the pearly white blade with disdain, no doubt the fang that had been used to create it had been made from her former pet Delhera, that Archer and Issildia had slain.
~The ebony dragon lowered in altitude even more so, it's hind claws extending outwards to hopefully tear apart its prey as it flew over head.
"Get Down!" Issildia shouted as the dragon arrived at their position. Issildia reached out to grasp Khastur's shoulder and pull him to the ground at the dragon's wicked claws swept over. The attack missed Issildia and Khastur by less that a foot, but the horse that they had ridden thus far had not been so lucky.
The Ebony dragon caught the destrier in the abdomen, tossing it like a rag doll into the desert with a subtle flick of it's talons.
Adenia then directed her steed into a banking manuver to land some distance in front of her foes.
Issildia came to her feet as soon as the dragon was clear of their position.
"So...they Ryera brought you back...presumably." said Issildia dryly.
"I wonder whose dirty work you are doing now...my father's, Lord Darsha's...or perhaps Luin's" she added.
"Silence!" hissed Adena as her steep began to idly pace around it's foes.
"Do not concern yourself with such things...I have a job to do, and I would like to get it done as quickly as possible." she said.
Suddenly the dragon froze in its tracks and quickly drew in a breath, in preparation for its next attack. As the beast opened it's great maw, blue flames leapt forth in a great torrent at it's prey.
Issildia raised her free hand slightly as she fire reached their position. A flare white light flared as the torrent made contact with the shield that Issildia had summoned.
"I'll deal with the beast...you can have it's master." said Issildia tightly as she held off the inferno.
