Welcome to Gaia! ::

Catching the potion he smiled and gave a nod to the Warlock. "Thanks." Max spoke with respect as he uncorked the bottle and took a small drink. The strange liquid mixing with his blood helping heal his wounds. True he could have used the whole bottle, but his magic could heal where the potion left off.

Mina kept talking for a while, the tiny pregnant candle mage rambling on and on about how to create Necromancer's bane. Placing a hand on her shoulder Max gave her a nod. "Tell me all about it when we're not surrounded by hordes of undead Mina. Truth be told I've never met a Candle Witch before, so it's a pleasure to meet you Mina." he spoke to her with respect as well holding a slight blush.

As they began to meet up with the group he stopped by the wagon and placed the almost full potion in Cassius's hands. "Here, hopefully this will help. The element backfired because it was confused. It wanted to help you, but you have to let the element flow through your body and let it take control a little. Don't look at everything around you...close your eyes and focus. The Element will do the rest." he spoke showing him respect but trying not to sound nosy.

Max felt the elements, somewhat like a Shaman but deeper. He sensed great power within those that could cast spells. Everyone was in tune with the elements that had chosen them. The elements stirred within him wanting to help these people. Bloodmagus were rare and thankfully none of these people here seemed to notice.

One in particular, a sultry woman who seemed to casually cast a small spell, seemed a bit suspicious. She wasn't in tune with her element it was more like she was casually toying with it. Casting a glance at the only non pregnant woman of the group, minus the spider woman on the roof, Max wasn't sure what to make of her.

Yet he turned and walked with Mina back to the group. He stood protectively infront of her and watched her use her candle to summon fire. The flames burned with passion, yearning to be released. The passion she put into her spell caused him to blush. She was so beautiful, it was strange. Though as she fired another fireball he focused and caught it in mid air.

The flames danced around his body a little as he began to add his fire magic to it. Both of them coming together he lifted his hand up in the air and soon the flames from Mina and Max transformed into the image of a fiery Phoenix.

"Bringer of Life, cleanse these souls who are trapped within their own Purgatory! Silver Phoenix I beg you to ease their pain...." he chanted passion and love flowing from his lips. His other hand began to glow in a soft white light. Raising it up it swirled around the flames making them grow bigger and brighter until a silver Phoenix burst out of them with a loud cry.

Scrillo bit her lip, he was using way to much magic. The brilliant bird glared down at the hordes of undead. Max was focusing on the undead so that everyone else could attack the leader. A way to distract him perhaps? His eyes glowed a soft silver color. "Arise....Silver Phoenix! Flames of the Silver Winged Guardian!!!" he commanded releasing the bird.

It let out a shrill before diving head first into the large group of undead that surrounded the group until it burst with a light of silver burning every undead in it's path! Leaving with another shrill it shot into the sky and fizzled. Max bent over and coughed up blood as pain shot through his body.

Too much...he had used too much...just a little more...he promised he would protect Mina. Thrusting the blade of his spear into the ground he leaned upon it weak and tired from the magic cast. Hopefully they could end the man and be done with this. Max felt dizzy and woozy unable to focus as the little blood he had left rushed in his veins to create more to keep his heart pumping. Turning to look back at the adorable candle witch he smiled weakly. "T-Thank you Mina. I-I hope you didn't mind me combining my magic with yours....your magic was beautiful." he spoke before coughing once more and turning to see what everyone else was up to.

(This seems appropriate considering the Darth Vader moment we just had, "I AM YOUR FATHER!" http://nooooooooooooooo.com/ )

A tiny twitch of pain flickered through Roxanne's heart as the death knight confirmed her earlier suspicions. This... husk of a man was all that remained of her father. Sure the b*****d had abandoned Scarlett and herself to go off and do who knows what, but that didn't change the fact that this was her father.

"I would say the same had you any blood still running through your veins." Roxanne replied, retreating back a step as Leon advanced. Growl building in its throat, Eclipse dashed forward to clamp a set of its jaws about the vambrace on Leon's right leg, crushing the piece of armor while the other two heads defended the attacking one.

Mina was surprised when Max caught her fire. She was about to question what he was doing and tell him it was a bad idea to hold fire when he started to chant. Mina took a slight step back, knowing full well that verbal casting took a good amount of magic and tended to 'radiate' an aura till released. She watched as Max used his own magic to transform and power her flames, channeling his own and making it large. Her yellow fires swirled with his silver, taking on an almost egg like appearance towards the end.

The Phoenix fire that Max released was dazzling. It was primarily made of silver flames but glints of golden flames could be seen, the embers coming off and the flames it released being gold in color. It was a beautiful sight to behold. Mina stood in aw of its brilliance as the flames danced among the corpses.

She didn't have a chance to admire for to long, Max's heavy coughing grabbing her attention. "C-crap are you alight!?" She asked, waddling over next to him. She did her best to help Max stand back up. When he asked if Mina mind that he used her fire and mentioned it being beautiful she couldn't help but blush a little. "It's fine, really. And thanks, I think yours was brilliant too." she said, giving him a smile. She jumped slightly as he coughed again. "Are you going to be alright?" She asked, putting her hands on his shoulders to help steady him.

Swallowing her emotions, Roxanne suddenly pushed past her Firin and Eric and into the green fireball lobbed by her father. Fire was nothing to a warlock no matter its color. Thrusting herself into the unholy fire, Roxanne plied her warlock talents and redirected the fire to herself, shielding her allies.

The rapid growth that followed her doing this however was something she was not prepared for. Suddenly much more top heavy, Roxanne fell forward atop her now beach ball sized belly.

Drawing upon the massive well of energy she'd just absorbed Roxanne lobbed her own blast of magic back at her father, the cast taking just long enough for Eclipse to release his bite and dodge out of the way.

Mina was shocked to hear this. She wasn't necessarily horrified but still this made her blood run a little cold. "They're fine, trust me they're squirming enough so I'm sure they are." She said, patting her belly. She looked to the battle field and started to move away slowly, bringing Max with her. "No problem, I'm glad I could help, and what you can do is live for another day as well." She said, helping him sit down by a tree.

"You need to sit the rest of this battle out, if that spell used as much magic as I think it did then I'm surprised you haven't passed out." She scolded Max, this didn't help her look any less like a short mother. Mina's face blushed a bit when Max offered to rub her feet. "N-not right now they aren't. But, yeah, sure I guess, when everything's calmed down." She said, thinking Max was being pretty darn nice. She wondered if he'd always be like this or if the blood lose was effecting him. "But don't get any funny ideas, it's just a foot rub, we want your blood in your head not your pants." She gave him one last look of concern before turning back and waddling back to the fight. She didn't get to close to the bulk of the battle though, preferring to work at long range.

(Epic boss battle go!)

"Better now." Roxanne replies, slightly unsteady on her feet as she yet again adjusted to the shift in her center of gravity.

Releasing his grasp on Leon's leg, Eclipse bounded out in front of the bolt of darkness about to strike Eric, yelping in pain and collapsing in a furry heap as the spell impacted.

"ECLIPSE! NO!" Roxanne yelled seeing the loyal cerberus go down. Her anger overwhelming her common sense, Roxanne grabbed a dagger from Eric's belt and charged her father's flank (opposite Firin).

Having little skill with weapons, Roxanne attack's did little damage but she kept at it and eventually found an opening under the death knight's armpit which she promoted stuck the stolen dagger into.

(Not a bad hit, such a blow would kill a normal living human (i think theres a major vein or tendon under the arm?) razz which was Roxanne's intent.)

Stumbling backwards as Firin took the hit for her, Roxanne regained her senses. No way she was going to do anything effective with a dagger. She'd have to use her magic to destroy her father. But what would hurt him? She'd already expended her big spell.
