Welcome to Gaia! ::

Focht regains his composure inspite of the additional pull from Shadow, his eyes narrow at Shadow.

Hope you don't mind me popping in a few places then.....

Focht tries to teleport to a energy signature he recognized but failed. He growls and then takes off running, disappearing and leaving an afterimage in The Peace. He heads towards the building with Than in it and appears in the middle of an intersection and then heads into the correct building, using his nose and his ears to get the right one. He disappears again to find Than and maybe get alittle help or alittle steam.

Shadow's eyes narrowed at Focht's retreat but his head easily followed Focht's movements. Not because he was actually visible but because Shadow wasn't truly regarding Focht. His body shifted as he became a large black dire wolf and sprinted off after Focht reaching a high enough speed to blur slightly. He reduced the strength of his pull on the blight however to give an impression he was farther away then he was. Though he moved quickly over the plants and flowers of 'Peace' not a single stem was bent in his passing. As he tracked Focht he slowly increased his pull at a rate that would make him seem twice as far away as he truly was. He invoked a rare gift of his to make an aura of silence around his body. If he spotted Focht he would immediately return to an all out tug and this time he would commit all but the smallest portion of his dark magic.

Focht barely manages to avoid a majority the beams fired from the building he was running for. He skidded to a stop then took off away from the shots, heading away from where he left Shadow. One nicking his left thigh, another catching his right sholder putting a hole in him as he stopped. As he took off in the new direction he connected with a beam in a passing blow, it cut into him like a sword swing might as he kept going towards what he tought was the nearest exit. The trail of blood he left behind was acidic an begain to try and melt the ground where it touched.

Shadow sensed the blight in Focht changing directions and altered his course to give him a higher chance of interception. He also reduced the pull and altered it's direction to make it seem as though he were some distance back and to the left of his true position. He ran faster becoming an actual blur as he sought Focht. He could tell he was getting closer as he followed. Focht had slowed unexpectedly. He burst out of a crossroad only to see Focht moving along one of the cross streets. He stuck out with his full power using all of his dark magic up in one powerful sustained burst that would rip at the blight within Focht from all directions and draw it towards Shadow. Shadow had clearly had enough and was attempting an all or nothing now when his chances seemed best. If he failed he would simply have to go back and rest then hunt Focht tomorrow with one of the others present to boost his power.

Focht draws a sharp breath at Shadow's pull on the blight. Stubbling from the pain, divided concentration and strain on his body he slows to his normal blurred speed, losing ground to the blasts after him. He fights Shadow with everything he has but the Blight begins to be slowly pulled from his body.

Shadow followed Focht and as he did he let his body move on it's own and used his mind to open his channels so that his essence would pull dark energy towards him. That would allow him to draw the blight that exited Focht towards his body without actually diverting any of his dark magic, it would also return a small portion of the dark magic used to him so the attack could be sustained a little longer. The pull on the blight would increase slightly as Shadow did this. After a minute however, any blight removed from the body would move to Shadow and he would be forced to stop pulling it out of Focht if there was any left by then.

*Nana finds a bath-robe, and some crimson bath towels under the sink in the bathing area of her room. Nana tosses a towel over each wing. The bath-robe had no wing slits, so it could only go up so far. Nana tries her best to tie it up though, before grabbing another towel to start drying her hair*

*Muffled mini grunt*

Shadow skidded to a stop several feet from Focht and stopped his pull not caring if Focht kept a minor amount. He condensed the blight into a large ball which would shoot into the ground outside and head to the tank in his Labryinth. Meanwhile he shifted to his human form and called out. Mastema, it appears I owe you a favor. Would you mind if I removed Focht and delivered him to an interested party? I'll return tomorrow to discuss a way to pay you back.
