Welcome to Gaia! ::

Angeles nodded to Ronnel’s explanation and watched as he demonstrated the next technique. Her pupil contracted slightly as the arrow slowed down before it stuck into the pole. Even though she had heard what was going to happen, it had tricked her mind. Even though she knew, her mind was trying to comprehend if the arrow had slowed, if she had slowed, or if time itself had slowed. After a moment of getting her mind into focus she pulled an arrow from the main body and began to formulate how to work this technique. She stared at the ground, working it out in her mind before pulling her arm back. She took aim at the pole and put the energy into the arrow. This would be a little more difficult than the last technique. This would take a little more time to master.

She was a little disturbed by the fact that she was not going to learn anything else for the time being. She was hoping to keep her mind off of the situation behind her. Marishka had still not returned yet, and Kakeru left. She closed her eyes, telling herself that she needed to focus on what she was doing rather than what was going on around her. Opening her eyes she took aim and put a small amount of her energy into the shaft of the arrow rather than the fletching. She stopped breathing, then fired. The arrow went straight into the pole without slowing down in the slightest.

Undiscouraged she pulled out another arrow and tried again, putting a little less energy into it. In her mind she saw Ronnel’s arrow slowing down just before hitting the pole. It was something that didn’t even seem that easy, and she sighed internally at the very thought. Pulling back her arrow again she stopped suddenly as Ronnel was taken away through a portal. She turned to look at where he had been, wondering for a moment before she realized that if he was gone, Marishka was in trouble. Cursing she turned to run back to the place she had come from but stopped. She was not strong enough to face any of the people that may be there, of whoever was left over from the destruction. She was aware that there was very little she could do even if she went over there.

Taking two steps back, and looking around to find that she was alone, she looked down at the ground. Her left hand lifted slowly and her eyes moved over to the ring on her finger. The gold seemed to glow even in the light of the eternal twilight that surrounded the edges of Nocturne. She watched it for a moment before her brow set in determination. She turned her bow upright and pulled back another arrow. She aimed and surged energy into the arrow and let it fly. Just before it hit the pole, it slowed down, but it did not start again and simply hit the pole with a soft nose before falling to the earth.

Fighting down her anger she pulled another arrow and took aim, putting a little less energy into the shaft and firing again. It slowed like the last, but took too long to start up again and fell to the earth just like the other. Alexandria watched calmly at what her mistress was doing, firing arrow after arrow at a pole with no one else around to watch. Then finally it happened. Like an illusion the arrow slowed down before hitting the pole before speeding back up and embedding itself deep into the wood. With her training over she ran over to Alexandria, hopping into her saddle as the last arrow rejoined with the bow. She turned the horse around and went straight back towards the castle.

Rank: D
Description: An interesting attack. This technique focuses on imbuing the entire arrow with trace amounts of energy. When launched, an arrow charged with this technique will fly towards its target as a normal one would However, a foot from its target, the arrow will slow to half of its normal speed for a moment, then abruptly resume full speed. This hesitation will throw off blocks and counters, enabling it to strike with a higher chance of actually damaging the opponent.))

Continuing on towards Lumira with a sigh.

She had no idea what happened now, but it wasn't right. Hurrying as fast as her legs would take her, Cherry rushed into Luimira.

May would have sighed in relief if she had the breath. She could see the station. She was almost there! She hadn't looked behind her since that one time in Port and didn't plan on looking now. She knew Fenrir was close though.

It didn't take her long to reach the station and when she did she darted through the crowds for the road. She almost toppled over the station manager, but managed to dodge and avoid the colision. She gave the robot a apologetic look before she was past him and running on the road.

Fear and surprise flashed in May's wide eyes when Fenrir appeared infront of her and slashed at her throat. She'd been so focused on running she hadn't really paid her surroundings much mind once she got free of the crowd.

As the werewolf spoke the fear and surprise changed into determination and competitiveness. Though she was going to fast to stop she acted on instinct. Her tail shot forward and wrapped itself tightly around Fenrir's knife wrist. Then she let herself slide. The knife grazed her throat as she shot between Fenrir's legs and behind him. Her dive and speed would probably injure Fenrir's wrist and pull him to the ground for a moment. Her tail let go once she was clear and she skidded a bit while she regained her footing quickly. Then she was off again, twice as fast as before.
May leaned her body forward and kept her arms at her sides and behind her as she ran. She kept leaning until her arms and upper body were almost parrallel to the ground. She grinned. It felt easier to run like this. She kept putting on more and more speed. She headed for the gates.

((Think ninja run, like Naruto.))
((Exit to gates.))

Erik didn't know where he was going, he just had to leave. His blood was burning and his heart was racing, he reached with a shaking hand toward his cross, it was no longer hanging around his neck. Instead he grasped the locket, he stared intently at the picture of his sister inside, he was going to change the world if only for the two of them, she was all he cared about. "I'll show everyone...I'll make that dog scream my name before he dies...I'll rend his skin from his bones with my bare hands...I'll make them all bow before a real king!" Once again even though those thoughts cheered him up he had doubts they'd ever happen. All he knew was he would stay in Nocturne no longer, he was gone from that place.[/exit]
