[Ryu-gemini]

I'm searching. Will you help me find what I want most? Then take my hand and we'll search together. Do I know where it is? Yes. Why am I searching if I know where it is? I have a good reason, I'm looking for a way to get what I want.

"Oi! Ryu." My brother called.

"Y-yes?!" I yelped, looking up from my papers.

"You really heading out today?" He asked, lighting a cig.

"Yes. I am." I answered flatly, he's asked this about 20 times already.

"....Hmph."

I sighed and continued looking over the papers on my old oak desk. They were maps. Maps of places all over the world, geography had always been a good subject for me, so this journey shouldn't be all that difficult.

"When'r ya leaving?" He asked.

"Uhm.." I shuffled my maps together and hid them away a pouch, then I grabbed up my staff and hoisted it onto my shoulders, "Now, I suppose.."

I tip-toed out of the basement and out of the house, my parents didn't know I was still here..still alive. They've been in a horrible depression since my untimely death and I didn't want to confuse them with my sudden appereance. My only choice was to go to my brother for help.

I stepped into the sunlight and smiled happily, letting the sun warm my face. It was a little chilly though..

"Hey, be carefull." My brother said uneasily.

"Yeah, naturally." I said happily.

I suddenly felt very cold, and even with the sun on my face I felt like ice was surrounding me. I looked down at my hands and saw that they were semi transparent, I could see the dirt path through them. I frowned and clenthed my hands into fists. Suddenly I was warm again, and back to normal...or as normal as I could be.

"Why does that keep happening?" My brother growled.

"Hmmn...My secret." I said sadly, knowing my time was getting shorter.

I heard a 'chink' sound and saw a rusty chainlink fall to the ground. I picked it up and watched as it dissolved into nothing. I reached up and laced my fingers in the other chains on my staff.

"Well.." I looked up and smiled, "I'm heading off."

I turned and went through the village and waved to the other villagers, they smiled and waved back. They didn't know about my death.

"May the Gods bless you on your journey, Priestess!" One person shouted. "May death never touch you!"

My smile was fake and I went continued through the city. I turned a corner and went into the church. I went to the front and kneeled at the alter, and prayed to the gods for safety and enough time. I hopped they were listening.

I got up and walked out of the church without a word. Religion was big in this village, and big with me. I wasn't to extreme though. But I was a priestess...

I looked up to the sky and looked to the bright golden beam that decended from the heavens and came down to this world. I took in a deep breath and finally began my most definantly difficult journey.

If I was lucky I wouldn't have to travel alone..

[Twilight]

(Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee~)

"Your highness, you mustn't stay here forever."

Close to where Ryu was, an abandoned chapel stood.

...Of course it wasn't abandoned now.

Inside the chapel, near the slightly crumbled altar, a young girl in a white cloak kneeled, praying softly. Near the girl, leaning against the wall, was what appeared to be a vampire. She had short messy gold hair, and red eyes and fangs. Her skin was pale and she wore all black.

The girl in the cloak looked similar, but had a frailer appearence. Her hair was white blonde and her eyes were glacier blue.

"Please...just a little longer...I'm sure God hears my prayers.." the girl whispered in a gentle and whispery tone. The other sighed.

"I just...don't feel we're safe just standing here..I mean, what will they say when they see you're here, your highness?" she muttered, pushing some hair back. The cloak girl glanced at her lightly.

"We tell them the truth, Nicole." she said calmly. Nicole sighed, hair going back in her face.

The vampire then tensed and turned toward outside.

"Someone is near here." she muttered, producing a dagger. The cloak girl stood up.

"P-Please...i-it might be just an innocent traveler.." she meeped. Nicole shook her head.

"Not just a traveler...with this one....I sense....great power.." she whispered.

(Done ^^ I love making Kathryn all timid, and that's the way she'll stay!)

[Rellik]

It was the middle of the afternoon and the weather was strangely cold for this time of year. Not that I care, it always seems to be to hot. I continued my trek through the forest to get to the next town. My bandana rung around my forehead had been soaking up most of my sweat keeping it out of my eyes. The hood of my black travelers cloak was down to let my ears free. I stopped suddenly and lifted my nose into the air. I could detect the scent of blood in the air. I sprinted in the direction the scent was strongest. The trees were literally blurs as I past them. Soon I slowed my pace until I came to a complete stop. I perked up my canine ears perched upon the top of my head to hear the sound of voices near the scent of the blood. I crept near the sound of the voices and hid behind a tree as I saw where they were coming from.

Three men stood in a clearing, stains adorned their clothes. And a woman and two children lay on the ground. The woman was a widow. I could tell because I couldn’t detect the scent of a man on her. The children were a baby boy of not more than ten months. And a little girl who appeared about seven. There was a basket of herbs near their blood spattered corpses. The men stood above them with disgusting smirks on their faces. Taking a closer look at the woman I realized she was nearly nude. And that’s when I detected it. The scent of seamen through the smell of blood. I saw red and my hands clenched into fists.

A growl escaped my throat. A low, guttered sound. The men turned in my direction and pulled out their guns. I stepped out from behind my tree, still growling and bearing my fangs. My hand was on the trunk and as I pulled my fingers down, I peeled back the bark of the tree. I pulled my hand off of it and pulled it back behind me to grab my sword. I grabbed the hilt and pulled it out of the leather loops that held it in place on my back. Seeing the size of my blade, the men were taken aback for a second, but then regained their composure and opened fire on me.

The bullets sailed to where I am, but they never hit. My quick feet were already taking me around the clearing, behind them. As I completed my 180 degree loop around them I took charge at them from behind. I pulled my sword up so that the blade was horizontally sailing through the air. As I came behind them, they barely turned their heads halfway around, before they were gone. I came to a skidding halt. Their heads came down with a thump along with their bodies. I sheathed my sword, barely any blood on it.

I looked back at their corpses and walked over to them. I then turned and began to kick dirt onto them. I may be human, but I can’t help having a few canine traits. After I was done, I turned back to the woman and her children. Raped and slain with her children while picking herbs. A terrible way to go. I put my hands into the soil and began to shovel out dirt. Pulling backward and tossing the dirt back between my legs. Within minutes, I had a decent sized hole. I pulled the corpses of the woman and her kids towards it and placed them inside.

I then covered them back up with the dirt I had dug up. I later found a large stone. I picked it up and placed it at the head of their grave and paid my respects. It was done and I continued on my way. I can’t stand people who kill in the name of selfish gain. “How much pain do I have to witness before it all ends?”

{LOCATION: The village Ryu left, just for convenience's sake}

It is now 3 o'clock in the afternoon. A monk has been sitting by one of several trees surrounding the town church's entrance since dawn. The man had remained still and quiet for nearly half a day, clearing his mind to prepare himself for what he was about to do.

"How will I reach the end of the light? What will I do once I get there?" he pondered, as he kept meditating.

He knew that this was a serious matter; that it would not be an easy task to accomplish. Many others were seduced by the promise of what lay at the end of the sacred light. Many would use the power that is holiest to fulfill their darkest desires. Others would kill friends and comrades in order to bring a loved one back to life.

The monk then proceeded to block further thoughts from entering his mind. Now was not the time for questioning. Meditation is the art of clearing one's mind, not one of focusing one's thoughts.

Suddenly, all signs of doubts and anxiety disappeared. The walls in his mind all broke down and for a brief moment, he became one with the world around him; the wind, the ocean, the plains, the earth. Everything became one.

"Hey! Dallas!" a boy yelled out, as he and his brother ran towards the monk. The younger-looking one had brown hair and green eyes. He was of an average build for a boy his age and had a wooden sword attached to his belt. The other one, although he shared the same hair and eyes as his sibling, looked more rough than boyish and was rather big for someone his age.

"Alex, Chuck, what are you two little rascals doing here?" asked the monk Dallas in a pleasant tone, abruptly ending his meditation session.

Alex, the younger one, had a somewhat worried look on his face when he asked: "Is it true, Dallas? Are you really going to leave us?"

Dallas remained silent for a moment, aware that the boys did not want him to go. Although he knew he had to leave town to pursue his self-imposed mission, he knew he also had to let the boys off without hurting them too much. After all, ever since he stopped over in the town about two months ago, the two kids quickly became attached to him.

Nonetheless, abandonment was something all humans had to face sometime over the course of their lives. Dallas breathed deeply, and said, "I'm sorry, Alex, but this is the life of a monk. This is the life I have chosen," Alex was frowning as he looked down. Although Chuck also looked sad, he was years ahead of his little brother in maturity and was able to cope with Dallas' departure better.

"Then I want to follow you!" said Alex in a determined manner, "You'll need a bodyguard, Dallas! You can't expect to get to the end of that light on your own. I can... I can-"

"I'm sorry, Alex," Dallas interrupted him, "but you can't. This journey will be too dangerous for come along with me." Alex was about to cry as he heard the monk deny him.

"Chin up, Alex," said the monk, trying to cheer him up, "I promise you: one day, when you are old enough, you will be able to leave this town and go on about your own journey." Alex's frown disappeared and was replaced by his usual wide-eyed look.

"However, until then," Dallas took the bandanna off his forehead, took it and tied it onto Alex's, as the boy was now smiling again, just as the monk had hoped, "take good care of your mother, and remember what I have taught you," the monk continued, referring to the arts of self-defense Alex learned from him.

"Chuck," said Dallas to the older boy.

"What's up, Dallas?" he asked in the most casual manner possible, hardly the way to speak to the average monk.

"Take care of Alex, and tell Rosaline I said 'hi'," he said, referring to their mother. Chuck simply nodded.

The monk then got up on his feet, lifted his backpack, adjusting it, and began walking towards the exit of the town. He then turned back once and said to Chuck and Alex, "May our paths meet again, maybe one of these days."

Though they were saddened by their new friend's departure, the two kids still kept warm smiles as they bid farewell to Dallas. They kept on looking and waving their arms, saying "Goodbye!" until the monk was no longer in sight.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{LOCATION: Outside of town}

The sky was no longer blue and was quickly turning into a crimson color by the time Dallas was completely out of town. The monk knew the road was going to be a long one and he had to be diligent, as this was going to be the most important mission in his lifetime.

Dallas was confident, though not to an arrogant point, in his surviving abilities. He was also aware that the reward found at the end of the light could not be shared. However, he knew he could not get there on his own.

Nonetheless, with a mind as open as the vast blue sea, Dallas was prepared for whatever he would get over the course of his pilgrimage, whether it was good or bad, friendly or hostile.

[Xion Nightblade]

(Location: Outside...can't go further than that)

The skies...they were turning that crimson red when it was starting to go into the starry darkness.

"Dead...They're all dead...Killed by those who weild the fire...Damn those Pyromancers!!! We had nothig against them, yet they betrayed us and killed everyone in sight!!! Mark my words...They'll pay...Oh they'll f--ing pay!!!" I cursed into the heavens

The squirells themselves were looking at me questionably with a 'what the hell is he talking about?' expression on their faces.

"That light...If only I can get to that light...I can bring them back...I failed them once before because I was to afraid to act...not anymore...I'll save them from hell, if it's the last thing I do!" I said again to myself

Soon a traveling monk walked up to me with a questionable look towards me.

"Um...Who are you talking to?" said the monk

"Huh? None of your buisness, monk" I said dryly

"Hmm...If you excuse me, I must be on my way" said the monk

"Where to?" said I

"The great light itself" said the monk

"I hope you're not talking about THE Great light, the light that grants wishes" said I

"hmm...yes that's the very one" said the monk

"And your name?" said I

"Dallas"

"Dalas...eh...funny...I never thought I would have to fight a warrior of God...you see...I'M going to the great light...NOT YOU!" I said

"And why are you wanting to go to the light? Wealth? Immortality?" said Dallas

"Simple really...I happen to be the last of the Thunder Drows...Xavior Nightblade...but my tribe calls me Xion...I'm going to revive my tribe...and I won't even let a monk like you stand in my way!" I yelled

I was charging up my energy, sparks were dancing from the palms of my hands, I was controlling the electricity that flowed through my entire self and threw a thunder bolt straight at the monk...but that was just a warning shot so he'd get the hint.

"Got it now, monk...I'm going to the great light, and I won't let anyone get in my way!" I said

I gave him a crazy looking sneer that was politely telling him I'm going to go mental on your ass!

[Chaosrider]

LOCATION: In an forest expanded nearly to the town

After to have left its place of origin, Ivan who that then enter a hostile forest of which single they could see trees but not that another exit went way to see where could know the location of so majestic light that in that then eager one would not leave nobody but it obtained it and worse in the mistaken hands.

Later little by little the night arrived to cover it everything and it not to be able to continue its way. All nocturnal animal class was listened to, and blew a cold one that it shook to the same sun, was covered with its blanket in which it took his things of value. Its black band that blowing so hard by the wind caused that it decided to spend the night underneath a tree, when seeing that little by little the atmosphere was begun to make but dense, had to catch log with his sword thus to maintain heat.

After of a while him was being asked, that happen if it could not obtain the light, to stay himself as a zombie that could not to feel anything of own feeling, and to coexist single with its lonely. Something very disliked but tapeworm that to fight for being able to surpass and it to obtain your dreams, was in that then that a shining light saw, in which said: Who is.

The light vanished of which thousands emerged from shining fireflies showing a way within all dark, observing all the act, without doubting 3 times followed the way. After awhile it could leave which could to be a labyrinth in the forest. And it continuous its march but when facing the horizon could to see a village near but that recently it was attacked and of which sparkled a tremendous scent blood and gunpowder.

I observe by survivors but could to be desolate reason why had to reinitiate its march without watching the sides, in that discovers something in the ground, which could to be a tomb recently nailed upon a great rock. Seeing this I suspect on some things, that could attack these people, separate who buried the people, it followed in its way until it saw tracks of which I am observed to be fresh. What made think that perhaps a beast to him step and I attack the town here and that even this by the environs.

LOCATION: Town of Ryu
Following the tracks unemployment a place in which all disappeared and when watching at the horizon it alongside found a town with a great mill and a church. After this it decided to pass the day in the near hotel but of the town asking itself same: It is thing of the destiny that I arrived there far, guiding reason why appears to me, Perhaps the destiny warns to us on which could to be badly an augury for all the humanity, and which we are by chance not prepared for which it comes.

In that then it observes in the horizon and it was said: so that all the life must be full of conflicts single to obtain our dreams, if it could do something to solve them, but is something that I will discover in this trip: THE REASON OF BECAUSE I EXIST and I HAVE a DON THAT THIS ARRANGED TO APPEAR, with this phrase him leave and continuous its trip.

[Ryu-gemini]

A bright flash of light errupted from the trees, birds and animals fled. I raised my head in surprise.

"Lightning..?" I questioned. the weather didn't have any signs of a storm..I had returned to the village in search off something I had dropped, I had found it with a child and he politely gave it back to me.

"HEY, YOU!" Someone called from behind me.

I turned to see a girl with rather pale skin and fangs. Besides her apperance I couldn't sense any danger. Soon another girl appeared, she looked very similar to this girl who was shouting at me.

"Why are you here and what do you want?!" The fanged girl yelled, jabbing me in the shoulder with a finger. She glared intently at me and the frail girl behind her simply tugged on the other girls arm in protest.

"..I live nearby..and I was just passing through.." I said in a confused tone, I didn't realise walking was so horrible around here. I gingerly plucked the angry girls hand away and smiled.

"You don't seem as mean as you look." I stated, flicking the fanged girls forehead. I gave her a challening smirk. She put a hand to her forehead and growled.

"I-I'm sorry about Nicole" The frail one said, stepping in front of me, "She tends to..get over excited."

"It's okay! I'm just glad she didn't stab me." I smiled, reciving one back.

"Where are you going?" The newly dubbed Nicole asked.

"Me? I'm heading over there" I said, turning and pointing to the Light.

"You'll be killed! There's so many traveling thee and many won't let competition get in their way! They'll kill you!" The frail girl exclaimed.

"..Nah." I grinned.

Another bright flash errupted from the trees. I frowned.

"Well that doen't look good, I'm going to go check it out." I said heavily.

"Oh, please don't go by yourself, let us come with you!" The frail girl said, grabbing my wrist.

"Us?" Nicole hissed. The frail one gave her a pleading look.

I thought it over.

"I'm Ryu." I stated with a bow.

"Kathryn" The frail one.

"And you're Nicole." I gestured towards the angry one."Now, lets hurry."

We started off to the forest. I was in front, then behind me was Nicole, and next to her was Kathryn. Nicole had a dagger out and was jumping at every snap of a branch or rustle of leaves.

We soon heard yelling, and soon we saw two people, men it looked like. One looked very very ticked off and the other seemed calmer.

I broke out into a run and skidded to the sidelines of the fight, I pulled off my staff and swung it to the left, causing a gust of low powered energy to push the blue skined one away from the calm one.

"Hey now! Whats this all about!?" I yelled just as Nicole and Kathryn jogged up beside me. "Tell me your names please and maybe we can work this out." I said, my tone still harsh.

The blue one got up from the ground and brushed himself off, "Tell me your name, then I'll tell you mine." He growled.

"Fair enough." I growled right back, "I"m Ryu."

"A-and I'm Kathryn and this is-"

"Nicole" Nicole cut in.

"Xion. I'm the last of my kind, Lighting Drow." Xion said, fists clentched.

"Ah well..uh..Imma priestess..." I said, suddenly aware that he wanted me to explain who I was in more detail.

"Priestess? MONK! Are you working with her?!" Xion yelled, pointing an accusing finger at him.

"No, I don't know her." He stated simply."I'll introduce myself though, I'm Dallas"

I sighed and waved it off. And ran a hand through my brown hair with annoyance.

"Well...Uhm.." I started.

"What's up with the Lightning and the fighting?" Nicole asked, stepping forward.

"Is that your business?" Xion spat.

"Yes it is. I take it that since you are indeed the last of your kind, and judging by how incredibly angry and rude you are you, Xion are headed to the Light to wish for them to come back to life. So you were heading to the Light when this man, Dallas appears. You two explain your reason for being here on this path. When you, Xion, realise he's also headed to the Light for reasons unknown, you get ticked that there is competition, so you send a blast of lighting at him, but seeing that Dallas is unharmed by this and that no trees are harms from a deflection spell, the blast must've been a warning shot. Then you fired another one, this one a real one, Dallas must've dodged and it hit the ground....And then we showed up." I finished with a grin.

"Your very observant." Dallas remarked.

"Yeah, whatever!" Xion hissed.

"Well I thought I'd let you know that I'm heading to the Light aswell. I'm sure you know how difficult this journy would be if you were to go alone..." I started.

"No way. No. Never." Xion growled.

"Fine. Whatever. Die if you want. But do you really want to end up failing your lost tribe due to your own selfish pride?" I questioned.

He lowered his gaze to the ground and his fists clentched tighter.

"So..What do you guys say? Take my hand and we'll search together." I said with a grin.

[Twilight]

Both men were silent.

Nicole sighed. "This is ridiculous! We've wasted enough time!" she said loudly. The vampire appeared before the men.

"Either join us now or we'll cut you down!!" she exclaimed.

"N-Nicole, p-please!!" Kathryn stuttered. Ryu sweatdropped.

"Is she always like this?" she said, and then in a second, appeared in front of Nicole.

"Okay now, crazy one, let's just calm down now and let them join us, minus the threats." Ryu said with a grin.

"Y-Yes...pl-please Nicole.." Kathryn agreed. Nicole looked silent, before sighing again.

"I'm only doing this for her highness.." she muttered, sheathing the dagger. The monk Dallas turned lightly.

"'Her Highness'"? he repeated softly.

"Yeah, what's that about!!??" Xion exclaimed. Ryu just blinked.

"Damn..." Nicole mumbled. She then looked up.

"It's none of your busniess what I call her!! Can we go now??" she said, pointing to the light.

Dallas nodded calmly and set off, a suspicious Xion along with him, followed by the three girls.

"Sooo....exactly why did you call Kathryn that? I won't tell." Ryu whispered to Nicole. The vampire gave a glare... and then glanced at Kathryn.

"...Y-you can tell..." Kathryn whispered in stutters. Nicole nodded lightly...and gave her answer to Ryu:

"Kathryn is the daughter of the Sovereign of Flames in the Kingdom of Yin. She is the heir to the Sovereign's name, and I must protect her at all cost."


((Next ^^))

[Boris Moskovitz]

Dallas glanced to his left in the direction of the three girls whispering with a wide-eyed, curious expression on his face. However, due to a strict upbringing from the monks, he knew his manners and decided to simply shrug off his own curiosity.

"Well, it doesn't matter, it's not like they're conspiring to stab me in the back," he jokingly thought to himself. Dallas then let out a small chuckle.

Knowing that Xion was looking at him, Dallas immediately stopped laughing. He then faced the Drow, whose suspicious and grudged expression hasn't changed since they've met, and told him:

"It is odd that I would meet a Drow in these parts, a Thunder Drow, nonetheless," said Dallas, aware of the massacre that happened long ago.

The Drow did not reply. The monk let out a sigh and continued:

"Look, this is not a quest you can do on your own. I know what happened; the Pyre Tribe has destroyed your people. I have encountered a few of them (Pyromancers) myself. I have learned of their history, and I know that they will be encountered on the way to the light."

"...and I will kill every single one of those bastards myself," said Xion, sounding even more scornful than usual with his teeth and fist clenched.

"Do not underestimate the Pyre Tribe," declared Dallas in the uttermost serious tone, "their power stems from something greater. That is why they were able to destroy your people so easily. Every single Tribe was designed to complement one another in a rigid balance, and yet the Pyromancers have somehow broken out of that balance that should have kept them in check. Whatever happened, it was definitely unnatural. There is no doubt the Pyre Tribe will attempt to go to the end of the light themselves and I would bet everything that their wish will have something to do with the dark force that empowers them."

"I know about the history of my own race, you tool!" Xion suddenly lashed out.

"Then you know you can't fight the Pyromancers on your own. They are much too powerful to be defeated by a lone warrior," said Dallas, exasperated from trying to reason with Xion.

"Are you guys done fighting yet? We're leaving you behind if you just stay there!" the girls yelled out. While the monk had his talk with the Drow, the girls were walking. Ryu, Kathryn and Nicole were already somewhat far away, but were still very visible.

"Hey! Wait up!" Dallas yelled back, as he ran in their direction.

He then suddenly stopped, looking back at Xion and said,

"You know, you'll need allies, at least for a while. We may end up fighting in the end, but we both know that there are many, much stronger powers, kings, cults, demons, or even fallen gods, that must be overcome on the way there," said Dallas, somehow feeling that even if the Drow accepted, the alliance would be a fragile one, "Think about it."

"Come on!" Nicole shouted in a manner hinting her quick loss of patience, pressing Dallas to sprint in her and the other girls' direction.

"I'm Coming!"

(OOC: The changes were only for the grammar...)

[Rellik]

I ran quickly and swiftly through the trees. Doing all I could to evade those in pursuit of me. “Damn! Just my luck that that woman was a queen! And just my luck that someone saw me over their bodies and alerted the kingdom that I had murdered them!” I seem to be prone to these kinds of things. I’m used to it now, but it wouldn’t hurt to give me a little ray of good fortune once in a while, right?

Once I was confident that I had gotten far enough in front of my pursuers, I slowed to a stop and hopped up in a very tall tree to rest. I leapt from branch to branch, ascending higher and higher up the massive redwood. I finally reached the last branch that felt sturdy enough to hold my weight and sat down and looked out upon the horizon.

The sky was that orangish, red color it became at twilight. From the tree, I could see three neighboring villages, serenely resting within the warm glow of the sunset. I pulled out a pouch from my pocket that contained some hard bread. They were either in pieces or they were small crumbs now. I lifted the pouch to my mouth and let some fall in. I chewed it with a grimace. It was stale and hard, but it kept me alive.

Being half wolf, and with traits that showed it, did have its downfalls. Like how I could never go into a town without getting nasty looks or being driven out, out of fear. “What is wrong with people in this day and age? So many decisions based upon ones own appearance. Prejudice. Another thing I can’t-.”
I was then taken out of my thoughts when I saw a huge arc of lightning come out of the ground!

“What the hell?!” I said aloud as another one jolted out of the ground. I stood up on my branch and jumped from it, traveling a fair distance, before falling to the ground. Once I touched down, I leapt up again, sailing over the trees towards where the lightning had come from.

As I grew nearer, I began to hear voices. One sounded calm, one sounded assertive, one sounded just plain pissed, one sounded scared and the last one sounded irritated. I jumped into a tree on the side of the road where the five people stood. There were three girls and two men. I could smell the tense air around them. Body heat was coming off all of them, making their scents more dense and stuffy.

They seemed like a motley bunch, but I didn’t have time to waste on them. I could hear the kings men coming for me. The sound of the blood hounds was drawing near. So I leapt out of my tree and ran through the forest.

[Xion Nightblade]

I finally decided to join up with this alliance, as feble as it seemed in my eyes..I mean come on...we all wanted our own wish from that light.

I walked all the way towards the priestess...the priestess eeped at the sight of me and her cousin had a dagger pointed straight at me.

"Hey, crazy...Mind stepping away from her" said Nichole

"Relax...I don't have a beef with her...I just need time away from the monk" I said

Nichole still had her dagger pointed at me.

"N-nic...It's okay" said Kathryn

Even with that, Nichole was not going to re-sheath her dagger

"Umm...So...What was it like in the Thunder Tribe?" said Kathryn just trying to break the ice here.

"Eh...the stuff you'd expect...rigorous traning...training like...well...have you ever seen that movie series called Saw?" I said

"Oh...Scary!" said Kathryn

"But that was just to test survival and restraint...But to test our fighting skills and power, along with our accuracy and speed, we fight against either eachother or with training robots" said I

"You had training robots?" said Nichole

"We're a tribe of Drow Thundermancers...Not Primitives...Our tribe was most likely a modern villiage...being that we control static electricity and everything lightning, why NOT go modern?" I said

"Gotcha" said Nichole

The others were confused...Why in hell is a Drow Thundermancer talking to the Soverign of Flames heiress? This just plain confused the fire truck out of Dallas, Ryu, and most of all Nichole

"So...Did you have to do some training?" said I

"In a way...just mere political stuff, but I got into the Books of Light and well...That's how I became a priestess" said Kathryn

"I see..." I said

Nichole had a 'What-the-hell-is-going-on-here' look with her eyes twitching and blah blah blah

Just then...Some crazy guy who looked like a fugitive just ran into us while he was screaming his head off

He landed right on top of me and Kathryn.

"Yo...asshole...mind getting off!" I said with my eyes glowing with lightning and rage

Just then Guns were pointed at us.

"Fugitive Vincent Rose....you're coming with us!" spoke the gunman

[Twilight]

((^^U I...wasn't gonna make Kathryn a priestess, but okay...^^UUU))



"Fugitive!?" Nicole growled, pointing the dagger. Kathryn stood up.

"P-Please...what is the meaning of this??" she whispered, removing her hood, and showing her features beside her eyes and mouth. The leader of the gun men, recognizing Kathryn, gasped lightly.

"Your Excellency..what are you doing outside your kingdom?" he said, bowing lightly.

"I-I....my mother..the Sovereign..sent me here." Kathryn stuttered.

"Still...this is no place for one of noble blood such as yourself, especially with a fugitive." the gun man said, pointing at the man who fell on her.


"Do you have any proof he is a fugitive?" Ryu said, stepping up next to Kathryn.

"He was seen near the dead bodies after the event!!" one of the soldiers said.

"Was he covered in their blood?" Ryu said calmly.

"Well...no.." the leader mumbled.

"Then you have no proof, idiot!!" Nicole exclaimed.

"N-Nicole, p-please..." Kathryn stuttered.

"At any case, he will be brought back to face trial. I suggest you come with us, your Excellency. After all, you are quite popular there." the gun man said, extending a hand to Kathryn and giving a signal to the other men, who took the said 'fuguitive'.

"For God's sake, I didn't do it!!!" he yelled angrily. Nicole looked at him.

'..he doesn't have the scent of human blood on him...He definitely didn't do it.' she thought.

Kathryn in the meantime begged the leader to take the others with them.

"Hey, uh...in case you haven't noticed, we're going over THERE." Ryu said, pointing to the light.

" I know. That is where we are going. Our kingdom is right near the heavenly light....you should be thankful I'm taking you with me, and be thankful to her Excellency." the leader said.

Dallas felt an insult at the snobby gun man come up, but he held it down, and remained calm.

"W-W-Well....shall we go?" Kathryn whispered.

(( Just so ya know, Kathryn is also a vampire, like Nicole, but she wants to hide it.))

((OOC: Sorry, this is not a continuation, more like a 'sorry i fucked up a little' kind of deal...I thought kathryn was a priestess...*hits self with baseball bat* But...I guess I can't be angry at myself greatly, being that Kat's okay with it...so put your guns away, please))

(((OOC: Still, try to refrain from making stuff up about other people's characters, I don't think anybody likes that (it's like me saying your guy has green hair when he actually has black hair, except probably worse than that). It's probably more acceptable to mess a bit (but not as in "fucking up") with the world around them, but not the characters themselves.)))

((OCC: Also, my character shouldn't be 'screaming his head off'. He tries to do what he can to avoid any attention. Plus I had my guy running through the forest, avoiding the group. But, I guess getting him in their sooner will tie things up more quickly. I just like to drag my guy joning people out.))
