[Flash_Guardian] Flash_Guardian stumbles into the garden, thoroughly drenched from the rain near the tower, holding a bundle of red cloth, the torn remains of his white shirt, and a shattered briefcase. He stares down at the ground, looking as if he's recently seen a ghost.

Kurumi :she used her hand to move her hair from her eyes she held out a hand:: its nice to meet you Naia

Naia narrows her eyes at the girl, then shakes her hand

Bida is now a moderator for this room.

Bida sees Flash_Guardian looking wounded and rushed to his side

Flash_Guardian sees his pendant is beginning to glow ... his face immediately brightens, and he looks around hopefully for his love ... seeing her approach him so worriedly, he gives her a grateful smile. "Skrayling!" He calls out, dropping his bundle to the ground - it makes a curious half-metallic thump as he does so. He does not look injured at all, though his pant leg is completely torn. Bida recognizes the pile of cloth at Flash's feet as the remains of his white vest and his red cape. He quickly springs forward and embraces Skrayling warmly. "There you are ..."

Bida wraps her arms around him and kisses him warmly, "oh, I missed you." She frowned, "What happened?"

Flash_Guardian manages to give her a halfway amused smile. "A lot has happened since last I saw you," he says. "Most recently, I just had a run-in with a very powerful avatar ..." Flash shivers involuntarily as he recalls the encounter.

Bida looks concerned, "were you hurt?"

Flash_Guardian shakes his head. "No," he calmly responded. He looked to one side, suddenly scowling. "Bastard cut my hair, though ..." He brings a hand up to where his hair had been nicked by the avatar's attack, twisting the wet strands between his fingers.

Bida hugs him close to her, then leads him to a bench. "My friend Naia, lives here. She housed me for a few days."

Bida "she's a vampire, I think," she frowns, then smiles again, "but she's really nice, once you get to know her"

Flash_Guardian smiles amusedly at Skrayling. "That was very kind of her ... I'll have to remember to thank her later. What have you been up to while we've been apart? I trust you've been well while I haven't seen you?"

Flash_Guardian also returns the hug warmly and sits on the bench.

Bida sighs, "It's hard to try to be an angel again, I still have the same blood-lust I fought as a demon, but it seems harder to fight it now." her hand trails to the hilt of the sword she had before she was restored.

Flash_Guardian eyes the sword with some trepidation. "I see ... battle-lust can be a dangerous thing, but can also be a positive force for change if put to good use," he grins at her, taking her hand gently away from her sword and giving it a gentle squeeze. A mischievous glint shown in his eyes for a moment, and his grin widened. "I have something for you."

Bida smiles, "I won't hurt you. I love you."

Bida says, "I also have something for you."

Flash_Guardian nods. "I know," he says in regards to her first statement ... then his look becomes one of curiousity. "You do?" he says, tilting his head to one side.

Mundus finds himself randomly appearing on the horrizon.The moons light shining down on his broud shoulders. Making his way to the door ,his appearence rather vague. Little emotion would pass Mundus' face, other than the demented grin always staining his cold lifeless face. He reaches his pale hand out to touch the larger wooden double door.Mundus would look as usual. His trenchcoat skimming the sandy ground, his black boots rather warn and skuffed, and his long milky white hair would be simply pulled back into a pony tail. Mundus pushes the door open with relative ease. His hands would begin to crackle with geokinetic energy. A rather complex psionic ability. The energy will take a while to charge. Mundus maves into the arena At this point the geokinetic energy would be covering almost to the top of his wrist. Mundus would allow his wings to stretch behind him. The look of them would be rather tattered, and leathery. A few words would work their way out of his mouth.

Bida smiles and opens his hand. In it she places a pure silver flute, "If i'm ever not there and you need me, just play this, and I'll be at your side before you can say Peter Piper."

[Mundus] "Boredom has once again driven me to a place such as this............rather insignificant creatures surround me.......but like usual......I care not.........I need a good kill......." In all actuality the vampire would look to be rather tall and lanky. Not looking to be all that physically strong. His cold black eyes would stare out into the nothingness of the Keep......the rather insignificant parts of the neglected realm. "Can no one here pose a challange....." Mundus would find himself leaning back aginst the wall in a calm manner. The shroud of darkness within the arena would be thick cut with a knife. His geokinetic energy would crackle all the more, the long wings begining to curl around his skinny build, still leaning back aginst the wall........Little indication of Mundus' expressions or body movements would be rather significant......just his usual random, demented motions of a crazed mind. No sine of sanity left in the cold lifeless shaell of a man. He is nothing but

[Mundus] a deranged.......lunitc........nothing but a killer at this point.......but not like it truley matters to anyonoe......Mundus is nothing to truley care about......

Bida shudders at the presence of a dark soul in the area, her hand again going to the sword at her side, and not moving. She was more afraid for her love than for herself, as it is hard to kill an angel.

Flash_Guardian takes the flute gingerly, feeling the touch of the cool metal against his hand. His face brightens and he smiles at her appreciatively ... but before he can speak, he sees her shiver. "What's wrong?" he asks her quietly, with a look of worry.

Bida forces a smile, and says "nothing, love." her wings open and close once.

Flash_Guardian doesn't wait for the opportunity to pass him by ... He straightens up his posture, putting his hands behind his bare, muscular chest. He wrinkles his face in concentration, and his hands seem to be making subtle motions behind his back ... at last, his face lights up as he pulls his hands from behind his back, revealing a small bouqet of roses, which he offers to her. The flowers are a shade of gentle red, long-stemmed and thornless, with white flecks decorating the tips of each petal.

Bida takes the roses, with an exclaimation of joy, "you remembered! These were my favorite type of roses a millenia ago!" She inhaled their sweet/spicy fragrance

Flash_Guardian beamed with pride. "Five roses ... one for each day that we've been apart," he says, smiling at her. "You should look inside ..."

Bida opens the bouquet

Mundus lets out but another sigh. Allowing his demented grin to drift from his face "well hello there young ones.........Your pathetic lives don't amuse me.......thus......I will have to liven things up a bit......Now you seee.......I would be Mundus.......I am the creature you were warned about as children........and the big bad vampire is here to make your worst nightmares come true......" Mundus shifts his hands pointing one at Bida and one at Flash_Guardian. "Why don't we get things started......" Mundus would find his demented grin quickly rushing back to his face. "Patheti creatures....." He mumbled under his breth as he began to take a few steps forward leaning off the wall now, and is about 10 ft from the people. "For you see.....as soon as I finish charging my geokinetic energy......it will be all over......."

Bida quickly closes the flowers, spreads her wings, grabs Flash, and takes off high into the sky.

Flash_Guardian watches as his love searched the flowers ... a small, bright red sphere, looking very much like a marble, falls out and into her hand, cool to the touch. As Skrayling looks at the stone, it seems to glow, its own inner light twinkling deep within it. "You can summon me using this in much the same manner ... just hold it and think of me, and I'll come to your side if I can." He smiles ... and then is whipped up off of his seat and into the air, suddenly clinging to Skrayling. "What ...?!" he panicks, quickly grabbing his flute and clothing as he is pulled up into the sky.

Flash_Guardian hears the words of Mundus and looks down at him from above. He sighs, shaking his head. "It's always someone, isn't it?" he says in mild annoyance.

Bida sets Flash down in a hidden treetop, whispering "Don't move" She draws her sword, and returns to the vampire.

Flash_Guardian watches as his love places him in a nearby tree, then flies off.

Mundus sighs "always running....." Mundus spreads his wings darting up into the sky darting upwardabove the two he would look down on them.....only being about 5 ft up he lowers his palms and sends a huge blast of the black geokinetic energy. after moving 2 ft it would seem to bust into about 100 small orbs. Only being about 5 ft away, the orbs would cover a much larger area in this smaller form. The quickness of the blast would leave litte if no time to react. The orbs would be moving about 300 mph. In the short distanc several of the orbs would probubable hit.Mundus would simply sigh once again "Doesnt your kind ever learn......there is no escape from me......." Mundus would simply be flying in the air just above Flash_Guardian. If guardien would happen to bet hit then the effects of the orbs will be explained.....

Flash_Guardian hated to go against the words of his love ... but he couldn't leave this ingored. He shot an icy glare back to the vampire below. "I'm normally a bit more diplomatic, but you've caught me in a right foul mood," he spoke, quickly hopping out of the treetops to the ground below ... the orbs are deflected in part by the tree, the rest slam into the ground around him. He sets his belongings at the base of the tree. Leaning his head slowly to one side, there is a series of resounding cracks as his neck pops repeatedly. He clenches his fists slowly, his knuckles crackling in much the same manner. "Be gone or I will force you to leave."

Flash_Guardian is falling out of the tree ... some of the bolts were stopped by the tree ... others managed to find their way to Flash ... just before the orbs connect, a flickering barrier field erects itself autonomically, summoned into existance as though it were some automated defense, intercepting the harmful spell. As the spell collides with Maso's shield, it uses its own ample powers to negate the effect of the harmful magic, breaking it down into the otherwordly substances that constitute its elements; shredding and dissipating it harmlessly. The barrier then flickers away, leaving sight and mind.

Mundus would smile. What little this other creature knows of psionics. This is no magic....no magic at all.....The otrbs wold find themselves being buried deep within the chest of Flash_Guardian. Within about 1/10 of a second the orbs would expand, breaking all solid matter within his matter to 100,000 times i's original size. This would mean that Flash would be a simple lifeless goo on the floor, of blood and organs.....damage beyonbd repair. Mundus would smile as the man lay lifeless of the floor. "Like I said....." Mundus picking one of the roses taking in a deep whiff. "Nightmares....." Mundus throws the rose of the torn pile of organs, bone, and tendons......a mudilated masterpice......

Flash_Guardian growls back at the man who dared attack him. "First my clothes get shredded from falling through several trees at high speed yesterday night ... then I nearly get myself killed breaking into the slave market ... then the entire East Tower is practically picked up and dropped on my head ... and now you come along just when I'm starting to spend some quality time with the woman I love ... You have me right tempted to break every bone in your body!" Flash's face was covered by a calm sort of rage, his eyes burning as he took up a combat stance.

[Mundus] -A simple barrier would line the general area, around the two. It allows no passage by any spirit, or soulto pass. Mundus would hold out his ruby gem chanting slightly "Come to me......your soul is mine.......come to be......you belong to me......." The soul of the boy would find it's self being pulled into the gem, and the barrier of energy shrinking, leaving the soul no place to go other than the gem.

Naomi made her way through the garden quietly and hearing people nearby she continued towards them. Her bright purple orbs would blink and then focus on Mundus and Flash as they fought. The little girl stood silent by the fight, biting her bottom lip. She wore a pretty dress which was quite dirty now and had an old school bag over her shoulders and clutched in her small hand her beloved; her teddy.

Flash_Guardian awaits Mundus's next attack ...
