Welcome to Gaia! ::

Thunder and lighting raced through the skies above, mimicking the chaos that was unfolding on the grounds below. Nearly a dozen humans ran screaming, prolonging their envitable deaths by Nadroj and his animal army. With this number of humans, any carnivorous animals he commanded could feast for days before moving on to the next village. "Selfish humans...you feed off of the land and its animals but when we try to do the same you run away!"
One by one a wild cat or wolf sprung from the darkness and picked off a human. Nearly half of them managed to make it into the black nearly flooded river. They stumbled halfway through it before realizing that the water's thickness was more consistant to mud than actual water. Only when one of them submerged their heads did they see what they had unknowingly stumbled into. When she raised her head from the rivers surface every opening in face had become swarmed with leeches. Though she tried as hard as she could to scream, the number of leeches housed in her mouth and throat made it impossible. Moments later she collapsed beneath the water's surface. This time she didn't resurface.
The loud screams of those still standing in the river was overpowered by the feasting sounds of the animals feeding on their friends and family.
Those left alive had only two choices. Try to cross the river and hope that the leeches didn't drain them dry, or return to the land and be ravaged by the animals.
The amount of blood lost already had taken its toll on them as they began to stumble across the wide river. One by one they dropped like dying flies. Not one made it to the half way point before collapsing, not one recovered after falling beneath the river's surface.

As the angel's words played through Nadroj's mind, a scream from the last living human echoed throughout the forest before a blanket of complete silence fell over the land. Though the angel aimed his bow at Nadroj he didn't flinch. The angels were possibly the worst of any of the races. Waring on the lands and then returning to the realm of light after the damage had already been done, masking their actions under the facade that they are trying to uphold the peace. Nadroj knew that he would eventually have to face an angel in combat. It almost suprised him that after hundreds of years he is only just facing one.
He didn't flinch at the angel's obvious threat, instead he stood his ground. "If you are going to attack...attack!" He shouted. This will be the first angel to fall by my hands but most likely not the last. I will test his own power to get an insight to what fighting methods other angels invoke. Maybe they will prove to be a more challenging prey then these humans.

Before the angel's arrow fully left his bow Nadroj could tell that his aim alone made him a deadly adversary. With the same reflexes of a cobra he used a single arm to catch the arrow. Nadroj's speed wasn't enough to catch the arrow before its tip touched his head. A small drop of blood, black as oil ran down his face. Before he had a chance to study the arrow the whistling sounds of three more arrows could be heard coming from over head. Without a seconds notice Nadroj veered his head towards the skies and released his brain busting screech. The sound was so intense that any air it touched shimmered. The approaching arrows were turned torn to bits by the screeching sound, but the shimmering wave didn't stop there. It grew wider as it travelled upwards towards the attacking angel. If he can't survive this....maybe angels aren't what I thought them to be.

He closed his mouth and ceased his screeching after seeing that it could no longer reach him.Angels...or atleast this one could prove to be challenging prey The change in the winds current went unnoticed by Nadroj, but he did see the angel commence his next attack. With the current distance between the two the arrows would take a bit longer to make it to Nadroj. He didn't need half of that time to think of another way to test the angel. He ran into the dense forestry and fused himself into the nearest tree. When he exited the tree's other half he waited patiently to see if the angel would follow or turn tail. Whatever you decide to do...you die tonight angel...

Hikaru released the sound barriers around his ears and listened carefully to his surroundings. Soon, using a technique similar to sonar, he knew where Nadroj was. But something startled him... Another presence was approaching them, not very fast, but faster than a human could hope to run. Setting that knowledge aside for later, with a great flap of his wings he flew in the direction of Nadroj, quickly positioning himself downwind of him and about 90 yards from him. He notched an arrow and shot it at Nadroj's heart, and noticing that the previous arrows were to slow, he sped this arrow up considerably.

He ran side by side through the dense forest before realizing something that he hadn't before. It was more than just arrows that this angel had in his arsenal. Not only had he limited the damage caused by his screech, but he was able to locate him amongst so many trees. An angel who can use the sound element The fact that he wasn't able to defend against his screech completely was proof enough that he was inexperienced at using it. Nadroj on the other hand had been using the element for a while. If he used sonar to find Nadroj, all he had to do was keep that sound from returning to its origin. Nadroj almost coiled over with laughter. I might just taste angel's blood after all. The elf was still a few minutes away, but in a battle like this seconds are all that it would take to change everything.
He reversed his transformation and broke away from the pack of wolves and other animals he was traveling with. He clung to a tree and fused himself to it. Will the prey take the bait?
He began to yell, manipulating his own sound waves as they left his mouth. The pitch of his voice steadliy grew more high pitched as he mimicked the sound of the many frightened children he had killed. "Please...NO get away from us demon!...No...please...help us!!" He almost laughed. Would the angel once again come to the rescue?
