A small pool of shadow began stirring near a river outside Rivenwall's gates as it flowed upward against the force of gravity; darkness parted, gave way to forms as Kinetav and Lizzy stepped through the gate back into the light. Kinetav smiled and leaned back a bit, although not releasing her as he looked warmly at Lizzy:

"See? Void travel is pretty fun."

Looking right beyond Lizzy and right next to them as well as next to the waters stood a three foot tall cat, its tail ablaze and its eyes a fiery red as it growled softly at them; the temperature under their feet began to get burning hot and Kinetav grasped Lizzy tightly before leaping, taking both of them to the ground twenty feet away as a pillar of fire stood where they had but a moment ago.

Looking up, the Voidsworn glared as he got to his feet and pulled Lizzy back to hers; his eyes scanned the nearby scenario and saw a tall lone wolf nearby as well, but the wolf smelled of a very distinct scent as he narrowed his eyes. It began to charge him and a small ripple of energy was seen by Kinetav as a barely visible form was running right behind it before it disappeared.

"Kiranu..."

The firaline began to close in on them as well, the Voidsworn backing up to the edge of the forest with Lizzy. as he whispered:

"Lizzy, make a run for it into the forest, hide in stealth, and then come back to take care of the Kiranu. I'll try to distract the animals."

Releasing the Kakurenbo and drawing his Exodus, the metal responded to his will as the Voidsworn's eyes glowed dark blood red; two four foot long swords formed in his hands with a red vein of mist flowing down the middle into the core. Crackling with dark energy, he raised a blade to his midsection and swung it once, an arc of darkness splitting free from Edge towards the animals to distract them. The blurred form in the background was still barely visible to the normal eyes, moving into position to strike very soon.

The dark beam of shadow struck the creatures in the face as they weren't quite sure what would happen, both of them taking substantial damage before shaking it off. Enraged, as Lizzy charged forward both the firaline and wolf turned their attentions to her as she was the closest target. Opening it's mouth and running forward with it still opened, the firaline shot a firebolt right at Lizzy before attempting to clamp down on her leg with all of its might. The blurred Kiranu, seeing Lizzy grasp sand, covered her eyes and jumped back as she felt her arm be hit before grasping an arrow in her quiver; her cloak broke as she knocked two quick arrows at Lizzy, the first shot spiraling towards her and a follow up shot in the same area. Even the wolf, looking back at Lizzy, tried to take a bite out of her ankle.

Madness cackled within his mind as the battle grew deeper inside of him, seeing his own blood for the first time in a while being spilled by a worthy opponent; Edge echoed with ecstasy as she hit home within the wolf, pleading for the wound to be made wider and for more blood to be shed as Kinetav grasped the hilt tightly. With a sickening twist of the blade and a sharp pull, the wound opened up significantly as blood splattered all over the Exodus. There was no want for control here as he looked over at Lizzy, noticing that the wolf had run back towards its master and yelled at the Kakurenbo; realizing that he had focused on his student too long, another burst of searing pain brought him to an outburst as he felt the teeth of the firaline sink into his arm again, much closer to the elbow this time.

The shadows embraced him once more, his form turning incorporeal as he floated through the air like a spectre; time seemed to freeze around him as he saw the wolf lunging for Lizzy as she was more than likely frozen from fear, appearing next to the wolf time seemed to return back to normal. With his left arm so chewed up, he tried not to move it as he swung down his right blade; a thin chain from Edge snaked its way up his arm to keep the dual blade from falling out of his hand.

Freedom wasn't as free as she thought it would be. How long had she been gone? Months? Either way, she couldn't seem to reenter her life as it once was. She felt like an outcast, wearing her scars and injuries were stigmas of an "impure" race. She felt her lip curl in distaste. The holy were nothing but self-righteous sinners who could "remove their faults" by praying their selfish, narrow-minded god. She wondered if Alexander prayed away the guilt he felt to what he did to her...

She huddled on the bed she had found in one of the unoccupied homes. Rivenwall was a dark place; all the characters she met here were shady and untrustworthy. But isn't there where she had to fit in now...? Her tail curled against her body, ears flattening as she listened to the silent world around her. At least she was alive. That was important. She held onto that thought. She survived and she would come back stronger from it. Slowly, with the optimistic thoughts soothing her mind, she drifted into sleep...

[rested for HP recovery]

The sound of rowdy fighting jolted Leifang awake. She found herself crouching on her bed, ears pinned back and eyes darting around. Her tail whipped once when she realized that it wasn't targeted at her and that it was coming from outside the little shelter she resided in. With a slight hiss, she jumped off her bed and slowly scurried to the window, leaning against the wall to shield herself from sight. Outside, she saw three figures and two what she assumed were pets or summons.

Without really thinking, she crept to the front door and lightly pushed it open, wandering onto the assumed battlefield. The fighters were distracted, and she took the fact gratefully and figured out her next move. Suddenly, the overwhelming smell of blood reached the Kakurenbo. She froze in place, whipping her head around until her gaze rested on the Kiranu. She was behind the ranger and she narrowed her eyes. Frustration that was seated in the bottom of her stomach suddenly raged up at the opportunity to inflict pain on someone else. The Kakurenbo growled and as she focused on her target, her single katana materialized next to her, on her left, floating just above her shoulder and almost an arm's length away. Her gaze never broke, but suddenly, her finger twitched unconsciously, the only sign she released a burst of energy. The katana soared through the air and sliced hopefully right into the Kiranu's lower back. Without waiting to see what her weapon did, her single tail twitched and suddenly, Leifang's form seemed to disappear. She vanished from sight and held completely still, her eyes still locked on her enemy.

Driven home into the wolf's flesh by Kinetav, the blood red mist inside of the blade's core swirled as if following the rhythm of the combat they were in as it looked around for potential threats and reactions; the blood was flowing freely onto the grass like a fine paint as even the river had begun to take a little bit of it in. Even as the wolf howled in pain, the Kiranu seemed to be standing once more out of her own will in a rather impressive show of willpower; at a moment's notice, a blade tip struck out of the woman's body as she fell back to the floor in a bloody mess with no sign of the reason why the blade was there. He took a deep breath in as he pulled the blade out of the creature that turned onto him quickly, teeth flashing as the darkness rose to embrace its master and carry him away once more:

Yes...the presence is there, but it's faint thanks to the blood.
Friendly or hostile?
There's no way to tell for now, but it seems to be another Kakurenbo from the smell of it.
Time to put an end to this.

As they neared the point where it was deemed best to re-enter, the chains of the weapons remained as the metal shifted, liquefied within Kinetav's hands; when he reappeared, two handguns were more than visible as the darkness around the Voidsworn began to rise off of the ground as if it was alive. His eyes scanned the sight before him as his body tensed up, the shadow slithering up his left arm to not only seal the wounds as best as it is could but giving him a path to perfect motion again; even without the use of Soul Sense it was obvious that the first wolf and kiranu were close to death, the guns instead turning onto the soul of the firaline as killing the creature became more of an obsession than a will.

Silently, the bullets chambered themselves within the gun and burst forward with not a single trace of gunpowder or even the normal spiraling of a bullet as the Anima pulled the trigger; as those attacks had been aimed at the legs of the beast, the Anima's weakened left arm seemed to move as if it was healed thanks to the shadow's strength and the Anima's mental willpower. Aimed directly at the creature's head and looking down the small sights of a barrel on top of the pistol, a final shot was triggered.

Even as all this was progressing, the shadows from behind the second Kiranu and wolf, weird symbols and even possibly words from the black tongue itself beginning to inscribe themselves on the ground; should the kiranu and wolf fail to detect these movements, they would soon find themselves despairing of the darkness that they had stumbled upon.

Hungry eyes watched as the katana met its mark; the blade sliced through the Kiranu like a heated knife through butter. Blood gushed through the front of the cat-girl's chest and bubbled out of her mouth. Leifang was hungry and driven by frustration; the sight of the only enemy she had really seen falling to the ground was enough to distract her. The sounds of the other battle were white noise to the fox girl as she lunged forward, still invisible. She aimed to land on the Kiranu, but suddenly, she felt herself colliding with another invisible force. The smell of another Kakurenbo filled her nose and she growled in surprise, unsure of what to do. "Mine!" she hissed quietly, though she had no idea where the other had come from--possibly one of the figures she had seen fighting before?--but either way, she had no control over her logic at the moment with the heavy scent of blood sedating her focus.
