If ever there is an event taking place within a non-specific room of the castle, it's most likely within the decorated halls. Thus, this is right where it ought to be posted!

"Death is gone. Him n' the fairy angel both retreated...Micah managed to deliver one hell of a blow to Death, though. Micah had him dead to rights, but he injected Micah with some chemical. I was only able to see all of this through Setsumei's mind, so I'm not sure what the chemical was or what it was supposed to do. His thoughts were too vague...and they cut out thanks to none other than Riot, or rather Jonas Yurich breaking open my little mini-iron maiden. Judging by the vibes in this place, though, I suggest at least you get down there n' talk to him, love. I doubt Tedd's gonna be able to do it this time, and Ishado's not about to take him on in this state. Oh, and one more little side note: Yurich's running the H.E.C.."
Yeah, he wasn't going to stay down for long, especially with his wounds cauterized. With his blood no longer spilling all over the place, he was able to regenerate a little more quickly. His injuries were still there and they still hurt, but they were sealed off. Too bad Ishado had to use his best God damned sheets to do the wrapping. He'd rub the back of his neck where he'd so kindly been hit and wince a bit...b*****d hit hard.
"Maya, stop freakin' out. If there was need for more concern, I wouldn't be taking my time to explain things to you. I'd of already gone to play hero by now. But...the situation will grow critical if someone's not there to talk to the poor guy...and I think I need to talk to em' as well. This energy he's putting off holds a lot of hatred, and I know where it's directed. Can't say I blame em' blow up my legacy, my love n' my friends. And my idiot brother, I think he's important too." He'd then look lazily to Maya. "There's a room down the hall that smells of flowers; probably the best smelling room in this mansion. There's a woman in that room named Ravyn'. She's more or less Ishado's girl; I need you to tell her what's going on. When she's all caught up, meet back with us. You may be important as well to all of this, Maya." He'd smile to her, then look to Draega. "What happened to our rest and relaxation?"

Draega sighed and moved to Kain's side, taking his hand and simply holding it gently within her own smaller, more delicate ones. "Rest is for the dead...as they say." she replied gently, though her smile was wry. "Though I wish for once you would pretend to be...if only to lessen my own worries." She sent Kain a knowing and humorous sort of glare that spoke of mixed love and annoyance. " I doubt you'll want to stay out of something this will you." With a shake of her head and a chuckle she took Kain's other hands in her own and turned them over so that she could intertwine her fingers with his and kiss them. "Well come along then. At least if you're near me I can keep an eye on you. Trouble maker though you are." She sent him one last smile before she turned to look at Maya over her shoulder and smiled in her reassuring way once more.
"I will look after Micah until you arrive Maya...this I promise...after all...I still have my pride in keeping to my word. I can't very well let down someone I've made a promise to...can I?" she nodded to her then, as if to say, 'that is all'. And turned back to Kain with a bowed head, her expression calm and almost dreamy as she simply let them both fall through the floor down toward the lab...and Micah.

"Rest is a trifle for me; I didn't seek out immortality just to waste it lounging around." He'd look to his love with a bit of a wicked grin while returning her kiss and entwining his fingers back around hers. "And you're right again: I do cause trouble. I'm not entirely sure how, but wherever I go there's something going on, and it never seems to be positive...he was probably asking for it, so oh well.
She pretty much what he'd of said to Maya, though she managed to say it a little better. Sometimes, it was good to have someone else speak for you, even if they didn't know they were. He'd snicker and raise his free hand in to the air for a bit of a wave before they'd begin to sink through the floor.

"Yes, I felt her memory as soon as she entered the castle, though it is odd.. Michelle wasn't around to send it to me, it just sort of happened. The girl seems slightly tense about the whole ordeal, perhaps I can get her calmed"
She'd then look to the lady, the misty golden hues soon were replaced with her bright shiny ones, she was such a wonderful person and a great Dark Lady for her Lord. She'd place a hand on her shoulder and smile softly to the woman.
"Thank you very much M'Lady, I know that me liking Micah well, I shouldn't! B-But I can't help it.. When we were down there making the reactor I felt at such peace with him.."
With that she'd once again let the barbed wire consume her, and find her way to Ravyn's sweet smelling room.

A fox came running into the room full speed, it ran straight at kain and a howl in the form of the sound of flames burning air came out of it. As it hit kain it only spilt in half and reformed on the. The animal that landed on the ground sat on it hind legs and waited. It didnt look at anyone but Kain. It could not be said that inside this animal of the flame there was a man. Its eyes burned a blue flame with iris's brighter a blue that any gem. They were burned hot and smoke trickled down his face and he huffed hard blowing out smoke.

Draega had only just gotten Kain and herself through the floor beneath them, giving them a moment of solidity for only a few seconds before suddenly something white hot ran past them both, hitting Kain. Draega let out a gasp and nearly released her hold on Kain, however, she refused to let him go until she felt him touch ground. Only then did she turn her eyes to the flaming creature. Her eyes rose wide in recognition, and despite the fact that the flames completely encircled his body Draega somehow KNEW that the fox was Micah. And at the very instant she knew this she felt anger replace her shock. He had lost control and this infuriated her, even more than the knowledge of the damage he had cost to the city when she had torn herself away from his friendship.
So despite the fact that his attention seemed to be fixed upon Kain Draega stepped forward and between the fox and Kain, her eyes lowered in fury. She did not speak, instead she strode forward, each step of her barefeet hard and quiet but reflective of the anger she felt. Then she flew forward, with all the speed of a lighting bolt and thrust her hand through the flame to grab Micah by the shoulder. The flames passed through her, as if she was not even there, but her hand would feel solid enough upon Micah's flesh, for it was beneath it soon enough, gripping him by the bone and muscle that lied within him. "Miach you little inane FOOL. THIS is how you plan to save the world?! By attacking your allies?! You IDIOT!" she snapped, her black wings flapping slowly, though still keeping her aloft without difficultly, only making her seem more dark in her anger. " The Micah that I know...that I love...would never lose control of his powers like this! Are you just going to let your fear and primal instincts rule you?! If so then you are NOT the man I once swore to DIE FOR...and I will kill you where you stand for betraying me in such a way." she added the last softly, but with more force than anything she had ever said to him before, her fangs flashing as she spoke them.

Well now, that was nifty. The heat had managed to still reach him, and anyone that knew anything about Kain knew that heat was his least favorite thing in the world. Thus, he'd twitch a bit, but keep his calm nonetheless. Instead, he'd allow Draega to act...which he'd come to regret. His back still on the both of them, he'd close his eyes and slowly turn to face them.
"ENOUGH! I will not allow such a pointless death within these castle walls, be it an empty threat or not! This is NOT an issue that can be resolved with VIOLENCE!" This was no doubt the first time he'd ever spoken as a pacifist. But, centuries of lessons tend to finally have an effect if you let them. As much as he welcomed a fight, he only welcomed them when there was something to gain. Here, there was no entertainment. Micah's death would serve of no use. The pain any of them could potentially feel was absolutely unnecessary. But, he wasn't ignorant to Micah's feelings, either. It was obvious there was quite a bit of rage focused directly at Kain, and he knew that if there was to be any peace anytime soon, he'd need to calm Micah.
"Putting him through pain will only further enrage him; look at his eyes Draega! Look at who they're focused on; FEEL HIS ENERGY!" His next action would be the first time he'd ever pulled off such a stunt, and the ONLY time he would if he could help it. Kain would toss off his trench coat and crack his neck before holding out his right hand. After doing so, he'd summon forth every bit of his 'Godly' energy in to his palm, locking it within a crystal orb that'd seem to disappear. Kain's hair would grow longer, nearly waist length and his skin complexion would finally gain some color. A button-down black poet shirt would even form over his chest.
"We're even now, Micah. I'm just as I was when I was human, or the closest I ever was to human. I know you want to harm me, and no doubt even kill me." He felt sick...very sick. Having organs again...everything. It was just gross. Still, he'd try and accept it... "I want us to be on even terms, Micah. I want you to know that each hit you deliver upon me will indeed hurt. And I wouln't simply recover. I wouln't erect any barriers to help me; I can't. You need to release this energy, Micah...and I'd rather release upon me than Draega and the rest of the world." He'd then slam his right fist in to his open left palm and grin. "SO VENT YA SORRY b*****d! I ain't gonna fight back, but I'm gonna get you back to normal. I promise."

Maya and Ravyn' would appear behind Kain in that same barbed wire fashion, Maya's golden hues would look to the fox, and her heart ache. She knew that the fox was Micah, a single tear rolled down her eyes as she looked to Kain. He was human? What the hell did she miss? Her left hand would come up to cover Ravyn's mouth knowing the woman was going to say something. Micah's hatred for Kain no doubt fueled the fire within the man she was starting to love, she wouldn't say anything, those golden hues looked to Micah in his animalistic state she was pissed and hurt. She'd look back to Kain and then nodded her head, she understood why he went human. her Lord and Master was indeed a noble one.
Ravyn' was going to say something, then that sword on her back would start glowing, well that was odd. She'd ignore it for the time being. that was the sword she crafted for Kain, perhaps it was acting on it's own? She'd look to the glowing fire-fox and then to the man standing there, was it Kain? Where was Ishado?! Dark violets would look around frantically as she tried to find the red-haired Lycan.

He saw the anger in everyone. It only made him hate more. So much so that he could could feel nothing. His heart felt as hollow as the flame. He could no longer stand the sight of any of them. He turned his back as he spoke. Which in itself amazed him. "This man tore down a place a built to be a safe haven for people who could not be understood by the world. He killed children that had no love in their life beside that which my establishment could hope to give them. That man which you love and serve like a fool turns over a new leaf and ask for forgiveness and you give it to him with open arms; throwing away your old life as easily as he trashed mine. I cant even be angry at him for you, i dont blame myself either." He stood up the flame in his iris's turned black and the smoke pouring from his body became toxic, so much so that Kain might have wanted to take a step back in his new form. "I BLAME YOU!" The flame from his tail turned white, it spit spraks where it touched the ground and even his bones turned so hot that they could melt sun. He couldnt even sit on the ground anymore it was burned away. His body sat there unmoving in the air infront of them. His voice was empty of emotion and void of a humane sound. "I blame you for leaving me broken and alone in a room. I blame you for crawling away from your fears and into his bed. Most of all i blame you for even thinking you have the right to speak to me..." He moved away from here and closer to a wall that melted away within seconds and revealed the cliff beneath the castle. "Or touch me. You want to say ive lost control, well im glad you found it by turning yourself intot he monster the people in your family said you were in the first place." His eyes closed and he calmed himself. "Kain you took away everything in this world that i ever loved or loved me. So what am i supposed to do besides kill you, because right now every atom pulsing in this body tells me to burn you like you have burned the bridges my heart set to the world. What am i to do." He looked at all of them, his eyes only softening for Maya, the rest of them meant nothing. "Maya... I dont know but maybe in another life." He turned and stepped into the air, his body still holding itself up. He walked away and could not force himself to look back. He knew to kill would to be to submit, maybe if he walked away one day he could atleast forgive; that day would not be today.

At the sound of Kain's voice Draega let her hand slip away and through Micah with no damage to him what-so-ever. But her anger could not subside, how could it, when the person she had once loved blamed her for everything. And then he called her a monster and she felt her heart shatter, and instead of the sorrow she normally felt all she felt was fury. She was tired of being called a demon. She was tired of people treating her as if she wasn't a person because of her appearance. And she was tired of holding in her emotions. "I left you broken and alone?!" she snapped feeling something inside of her snap as well, the world around her seeming to become...blurry.
"I spent months worrying over whether or not you were alive. Without contact...without notice. I prayed and hoped you were alive and did what I had to to survive deep within the bowels of the HEC. When Kain found me...and he offered me a second chance to take down the company you had so desperately wanted to destroy. I accepted in the hope that I might be able to find you...only to learn that Seth had killed you. Do you have ANY idea what that did to me?! What choice did I have Micah? Should I have killed myself in your memory? Should I have continued to mourn for the rest of my life?" She shook her head and turned to stare at him with eyes that spoke of betrayal. "Kain offered me love...and the chance to avenge you. And I came to love him for the man he has become not for what he has done. If ANYONE could believe that people could change I thought it would be you. I can see the goodness in him. Just as I can see the goodness in you."
She took a step back, the world suddenly becoming so blurry that she couldn't see at all, to those that could see her her eyes had become a milky white. "I made a promise to Maya that I would save you. That I would protect you under the oath I once made for you. If that means I must protect you from yourself...than so be it. So yes Micah...by all means...blame me. I who wanted nothing more than to protect you because I love you. Perhaps not in the same way you loved me....but I do love you. When you had died I moved on, because I was alive and I wanted to live out what I thought were our shared ideals. But if you so badly want to burn...then I will take you...to where you can really ...burn." her voice grew soft, and distant, like that of a ghost's. Her body visibly grew paler, and then she became see-through. Her voice, far away and distant came to Kain with no malice but a dark sort of foreboding. "I told you once when we first met that there was a moment when I was young and was still trying to find my limits...that I fell through close to the center of the earth. Did I ever tell you that since then...my limits have grown? The center of the earth...is no longer so far away for me."
"Nor will it be for you Micah. Shall we see just how much of a demon I really am?" she stated simply before leaping forward, and intending to grab him, just as she began to fall faster and further than she had ever done before. Taking Micah with her, though he would not feel pain, would not be injured the ground would swim past them both and everything would become warmer, it grow warmer and warmer the farther they fell, or at least that was what she intended.

Well, there wasn't much he could do at this point other than twitch how how quickly women reacted to things without thinking. He knew the center of a planet wasn't going to do anything to Micah; if anything it was a danger to have him there. So much for giving Micah what he wanted and deserved in the correct form...he'd end up summoning back his power only moments later. Which hurt like hell, given that organs and bone forming hurt so much less than organs and bone slowly disappearing.
"Ishado's still here. He's waiting in case something needs to be done in a fashion I'm not willing to go through with, though. He'll show up when the time is right, just be patient."
When it came to slipping through solid masses, his power to do so was a bit different. He used intangibility, a process that placed him on a separate plain altogether. Unlike with his dimensional powers, this plain was always the same, always the Astral. There was a huge flaw to what he used compared to what Draega used: Fire could effect him. As a matter of fact, it was the ONLY thing on the solid plain that could hurt him. So this was freakin' doom-tastic.
Nonetheless, he'd begin to fall through as well with intentions to retrieve Micah this time! This day was getting really weird really fast and he could swear he felt something of a headache setting in. He still had the rest of his nifty powers, allowing him to move rather quickly and lock on to Micah's signature via his fire. I wouldn't take long for him to catch up to the two and already begin to sweat.
"Y'know, love, he can no doubt survive a star's power; I doubt this puny planet's core is going to have much of an effect on him! And don't you think it's a bit risky to introduce him to an environment like that when he's already pissed off...again? If anything, this process will endanger everyone BUT him." He'd offer her a rather cautious smile, trying to convince her NOT to end everything she loved out of her own obvious anger. He'd ten look to Micah and arch a brow. "And you...you're just sad. Once upon a time you might of been something great, sure. Now? Now you can't even stand to blame yourself for what happens in your life. You're too damn scared to take on responsibility for the situations you've placed yourself in! It'd be the same as me blaming H.E.C. for ME blowing up your Faction. Yes, various factors can influence our actions, but in the end Micah, we have free will, be it God-given or a natural gift. We as individuals create our own destinies, and we as individuals choose to do as we see best. From what I can gather, that's what made you great. As an individual you created the Faction and opposed H.E.C.. You DECIDED to control your damn emotions, your power. And now, you've decided to blame me for this and that, blame Draega for this and that, and my favorite, cast aside the one person that's been there to help you every God damn second of the day! You've shaped your own pathetic life, Micah. If I didn't think you were too damned self-absorbed and narcissistic, I'd even be willing to bet you could fix these teenage angst-styled problems! But please, go on blaming others. But don't blame Draega, coward. She'd done NOTHING but worry about you and try to help you. If it'll make you feel better, blame me. I really don't care if you like me or not; my role in life doesn't involve impressing YOU! My job is to keep H.E.C. at bay until I know I can make it go boom as well! My job's what yours USED to be before you got scared, pissed your pants, blamed the world and probably cut yourself. And even the door to changing your pathetic existence is wide open, you just curl up in to a ball and cry."
He'd shake his head and let out a rather irritated sigh, then look to Draega. "Don't doom us all. If you need to do something with him, throw em' in to space. No matter how much he lights up, he's still got lungs and that fire's burning away oxygen like mad. Leave his sad self in orbit and allow him to contemplate his life in deep freeze. Or let his head explode from lack of oxygen; whatever happens: Please do as I recruited you in to Black Rose to do, love: Remove this threat to the INNOCENT. He's too unstable to allow to walk around free. If nothing else, the world doesn't deserve that much self-absorbed bitching."

Micah sat quietly wondering the entire time why draega dragged him here when he was leaving, and why Kain came after them. He didnt speak not out of shame or because he had nothing to say; Micah just didnt want to. What these two were doing now was pointless. He just wanted to wash his hands of them and walk away. More or less he could not understand why not after being attacked why Kain would further involve himself in a matter that did not concern him. "Leave me alone." She was had no idea how angry she was making him, her presence was not welcomed nor the though of her. He just looked at Kain like he would a stranger on the street. He could feel nothing towards this man and the longer he had stayed the longer Micah wished he could have struck him down when he had the chance. This event would rid him of the weakness of mercy. "Kain take your wench and your new life and spend them well. " His body decompiled into parts of energy and scattered, finding path ways through lava caves and into the depths of the crushing ocean. The tempature would have probably been enough to kill him but the journey no less he would take if not to prove he could still just walk away.

"Micah, STOP!" Kain had intended to make his words harsh, but only because he had found that harsh words tended to hit people far harder than kind words that could be thrown back at them. Upon his verbal attack failing, Kain would have to do something he, and no doubt every male in the world hated to do: Open himself up.
"Micah, you're the closest thing on this ******** planet I have to a friend!" It was true, and it was the real reason he was more or less trying to protect Micah and allow him to have his shots at Kain. Even Kain's friends back on Earth didn't see eye to eye as well as Micah did with Kain, whether he knew it or not.
"Micah...I don't know if you can hear me, but if you can, LISTEN! I don't care if you hate me; if you need someone to focus your anger on then let it be me! Let me be your mental, physical and verbal punching bag! Just snap out of this and revert back to the man I admired and was more than honored to have in my castle...just focus your anger on me and leave Draega out of this; this is between YOU and ME whether you want to admit it or not...so let it be our problem, not hers. Stop hurting the innocent, PLEASE!"
He'd look to Draega with no doubt the most crushed look he'd ever had on his face in the entire span of his life. He was used to losing friends, but this sucked. Yes, Draega was his love, and Maya was around, but every guy needs that other guy they can hang out with, even immortal semi-tyrants. He'd let out a deep sigh without really inhaling, then look to Draega.
"I doubt he heard me...please return to the castle and comfort Maya. Your return will no doubt signal to Ishado; let him deal with our new guest. I've other things to do..." With that, he'd allow himself to fall deeper in to the planet, slowly heading for the core.

Maya curled her hands into a fist, she was more then just upset. The woman was pissed. Those golden hues that once held a special glow now darkened to a deep amber. her light purple locks would fall into her eyes as she was engulfed in barbed wire once more, she was going back to the lab, things were not done. She'd look over to Ravyn and spoke softly through the barbed wire. "You may come down to the lab with me if you'd like, I have a project that needs to be finished" And with that said she'd sigh deeply as the ball of barbed wire would sink through the floor as if the floor itself was made of water.
Ravyn didn't know what to do, what she just saw was far beyond her. But seeing as Maya was the only one she knew (That and Ishado) she would follow her, though Ravyn had no phasing powers of any kind. So what did she do? Well, there was a secret not even Ishado knew, since her grandmother was after all a very famous lycanthrope. She'd inherit a fraction of her grandmother's powers I.E. the ability to track someone's scentl; besides her smell was nothing more then metal and blood this would be easy. She'd simply close her eyes and focus on the scent, just that finding where she was she would head down the hallway and straight to where the Lab was.
