*As Asura stood at the base of the Volcano, he glanced at the map, as to be absolutely certain of his location* "Yep, this is it," he said to himself, then slowly trudged up a path in the snow and rocky mountainside.*
*As he came to the mouth of a cave, Asura noticed several large stone gargoyles. As Asura eyed them, he watched as five of them actaully can to life. They looked like strong men with the heads of eagles and falcons, and their eyes glowed white as the snow around them*
"Turn around now, and go back down the mountain. Do this and we shall let you live," the biggest of the Gargoyles instructed, its huge wings across it's chest and it's arms crossed in a surly fashion.
*Asura shook his head and took a step forward. As he did, all five gargoyles spread their wings and growled furiously*
"I am here to collect the Heaven's Cloud. It is a necessary weapon, as my friends and I are in need of a weapon of light to defeat a very formidible enemy," Asura informed, stopping momentarily. He placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword. "Please do not stand in my way."
*The gargoyles growled again and the second smallest of the bunch rushed at Asura, wings flapping and fist cocked.*
"Amateurs," Asura uttered, right as the gargoyle was upon him.
*Asura effortlessly waved off the gargoyle's right punch with a wave of his left wrist, then fired a shattering punch to the gorgoyle's solar plexus, sending the gargoyle flying backwards to join it's comrades. It had several very large cracks from where Asura hit it and it looked like it wouldn't be moving any time soon*
"He is the one," the biggest gargoyle uttered, then motioned for the others to move. They cleared a path for Asura and gathered up their fallen comrade.
"Thank you," Asura uttered politely, then walked into the caverns the gargoyles had guarded for centuries.

*As Asura walked through the caverns of the volcano, torches lit up magically along the walls. The halls themselves appeared to be carved out of obsidian, and created a very odd feeling when walking through them*
"I wonder who could have carved such a path?" Asura wondered to himself. "I've never seen this much obsidian."
*Suddenly, 15 very large demons, armed to the teeth, appeared from out of nowhere before Asura. Without a single word of warning, they all drew swords and rushed at Asura all at once.*
"Idiots. Really," Asura stated, shaking his head.
*Moving too fast to see, Asura rushed at them, drew his sword, and disappeared from sight instantaneously. In a split second later, he sheathed the Blade of Fates, fifteen feet beyond all fifteen demons, and all fifteen of them spilt in half at the waist, returning to the shadows from which they came.*
"Where do those things keep coming from?" Asura questioned himself again. "And they're beginning to increase their numbers every time. When can a guy get a break?"
*Asura trudged on.*

*As he trudged on, he came to a well lit opening about 100 yards in circumfrence. On the opposite side of the opening, large, obsidian carved doors stood closed. But that's not what Asura noticed first. There was a large pedestal in the middle of the opening. On it sat a scroll. Asura walked towards the pedestal and picked up the scroll, quickly opening it. At the same time, obsidian doors slammed closed behind him, and Asura realized that he was trapped. But ignoring that fact, he read the scolls containts carefully.*
When thought, your body will become lighter than a feather, and you will soar with the phoenixes to the next rising sun. But only if your will is strong enough to survive this next task.
"Oh, now what," Asura grumbled, looking around.
*as the floor of the halls were covered in silty, black soil, several large, formidable spirits of the earth formed from the ground, and became 5 large obsidian golems, with their eyes growing red.*
"Geebus....and there's no water in sight," Asura thought out loud, scanning the area. Then he thought about what the scroll said. "...am I supposed to fly?"
*One of the rock golems attempted to slam a giant boulder down on top of Asura, but Asura jumpped backwards and slashed the boulder deftly in half.*
"I do feel lighter than a feather," Asura thought to himself.
*Then, screaming like a mad man, Asura FLEW around the room, bouncing off of the walls and confusing the rock golems, making their heads spin around in circles, trying to keep up with Asura's impossible movements. Then he stopped flying around, right back in the same place where he started. The rock golems were completely dazed and confused*
"That was fun," Asura chuckled to himself, licking his battle hungry lips. "Now let's get creative."
*Further scanning his surroundings, Asura took notice that the golems where in a rock shape formation completely surrounding him. Sheathing his sword, Asura raised a fist and slammed an energy charged fist into the ground, sending shock waves at all five golems. The shockwaves, combined with the recent superfast flight and confusion inflicted upon the golems, caused them to stumble clumsily in their formation. They were off balance, and Asura took further initiative into this. He flew superfast into each golem's chest and kicked each one in the area roughly around their sturnum with supernatural force. The ones that didn't shatter into a million pieces on contact were forced to fall over, wherethey did shatter upon hitting the floor. Defeated, all five of the black obsidian boulders turned into shadows and disintegrated. Then, the door to the next hall way opened for Asura. He dusted himself off, and proceeded through it, munching on a chicken drum stick from his provisions pouch.*

*There, at the end of the path, on a golden rack, specked with emerald and jade gems, rested a katana in a sheath that looked like the sky on a particularly windy day. It was blue, with clouds "blowing" all over it. Asura stopped in his tracks to stare at it.*
"That's no optical illusion," he uttered to himself. "This is it."
*Walked forward and gently touched the sword. As he did, he felt a gentle electricity flow through his arms. Then, he quickly slid it into his sash, for he could feel the obsidian walls starting to vibrate.*
"Time for me to haul a** out of here," Asura admitted, looking up. There was a twisting and turning tunnel just above him, but he knew not where it led. He shot through those tunnels like a bat out of hell, twisting and turning through dust and falling bits of debris that Asura thought would never end. Then, just when things were starting to look bleak, he burst out into the open, great blue sky. His first stop would be for a dip in the crystal lake.

Seshiro lands near the mouth of the volcano and uses the heat to help him concentrate and regain some of his lost energy. He looks down and then back up his eyes black and his body radiating red. He then attempts to sense Takara for a third time and finally succeeds. "The Uncharted Territories? Why is she there?" Seshiro starts to fly away when he noticed that the fires inside of the volcano were fluxuating and that at his feet two roses, fire red, were growing at his feet. "I think Takara might like these." He smiled to himself as he picked the roses and started off to the Uncharted Territories.

Seshiro comes flying and almost falling to the mouth of the great volcano. He manages to get up a little more energy though and sets Takara and Parth down gently but then collapses from exhaustion. "I think I need to rest for a while....." He falls onto to back and almost passes out. "If he comes, move me towards the volcano, I have more power there..."

Shifty was at the foot of the volcano and saw the three at the top. He teleported up and was right behind Sheshiro. He swung his leg at him, hoping to take the fight away from the open volcano.

Seshiro crawled over to Parth. "My friend you cannot die..." Seshiro started to cry. He looks to Takara, "How do I save him?" He starts crying even harder.

Seshiro got kicked in the head but did not budge. He then stood up and cracked his neck and burst into flame. "Takara, take Parth and run!" Seshiro spun around to face Shifty, drawing his sword as he did so. "You're in MY domain!" He then put his sword arm straight out and started charging a blue fire into the sword and his arm. "DRAGON SPIN!" Seshiro spun quickly as he attacked Shifty multiple times.

Takara stood there shaking her head, for once again here is someone that cared deeply about her and is dying, "I don't know." she cried and then turned away running..."I can't lose another person that is dear to me...Seshiro...I..." but she was too far away from them both for she was running hard down the side of the hill.

Shifty blocked as best he could but enough hits got him that he fell down, rolling down the mountain. He stuck his blade into a hard rock to stop himself from faling any further and got up. The hits he had taken were aflame now. He patted them down and shot a beam of fire and of thunder at him.

Seshiro blocked Shifty's attack with a barrier of Rock and fire. "TAKARA! PARTH!" Seshiro quickly erected a soft bowl like thing to catch his companions. He then caused the earth to grab Shifty. "NOW, YOU PAY FOR YOUR SINS!" Seshiro made the earth slowly squeeze Shifty.
