Care And Kindness

PhorenNarqu lay there, on the roof of the Dojo, having suddenly appeared. Flaxen haired oncemore, with a healthier colour to his flesh. Eyes back to their pure blue, piercing in it's intensity. And he spasmed with agony, as he rolled off the roof and hit the ground with a loud thud, clothes having been burnt away, leaving reddened flesh beneath

Flash_Guardian is currently out on the lawn in front of his dojo, pacing and staring at the ground. His face is clouded with worrying thoughts, as he seems absolutely stricken by something he can't get off his mind. Or maybe it's more than one thing. In any case, he looks ready to collapse from the emotional strain.

PhorenNarqu would like to note he fell near Flash

Flash_Guardian whirls upon hearing something heavy hit the ground, staring back to the earth at the base of the dojo. There, he sees Phoren, his worry only increasing now. Phoren was, in fact, injured yesterday. Flash was there when the injury occurred, an injury which has yet to fully heal. He takes a step or two to reach Phoren's side, looking down at the man, eyes frowning as he clearly does not understand what he sees. "Phoren ... what on earth?"

[PhorenNarqu ] "I... Am returned... I am whole again."

Flash_Guardian looks over Phoren now, seeming utterly shocked at the change. Yet everywhere he looks, he can see it ... the color is back in Phoren's face, the darkness removed from his coloration and his aura. Flash won't go so far as to pull back Phoren's lip and check to see if he still has vampiric fangs, but he is still very much surprised. "You're ... alive?"

Shattered_Soul Makes her way towards the Dojo and smiles, once more stopping at a tree. She presses her back against the tree and looks to the two men, only recognizing one and a smile crosses her lush, pouty lips. Her light red eyes seem to glow in amusement watching the two. She slowly crosses her arms across her chest, her nails softly raking against her forearm. Instead of her creamy colored dress, a black, skin tight, tank top and hip hugging, black leather pants show off her petite form, revealing her curves.

PhorenNarqu nodded, and pushed himself up, resting his head in his hands "I always told her I

[PhorenNarqu ] *'d find a way"

Flash_Guardian offers Phoren a hand to help him stand, since such is his desire. "Ih ... incredible," is all he manages to say, looking at Phoren in amazement. "Not impossible, but incredible none-the-less. I find myself curious as to how you've accomplished this ..." Flash's eyes prod Phoren for an explanation ... and there, movement out of the corner of his eye. Now that he is no longer working on the dojo, Flash seems much more alert to the outside world and its goings on. He looks behind him, spotting a familiar woman in an unfamiliar outfit, one that most would call 'sexy.' Indeed, Flash looks to her with wide eyes and thin mouth for a moment, before nodding in a simple greeting.

[PhorenNarqu ] "Put frankly, I scoured both my soul and body... If you don't mind, I don't think I can stand right now."

Flash_Guardian quickly gets an arm underneath Phoren's, helping him to stand. He'll carry the man if he has to, but Phoren needs a place to lay down for a while. A good meal and plenty of rest would probably do the man plenty of good. "As a vampire, I think you're lucky you had a soul to scour ... but in any case, congratulations. Few achieve what you have achieved. Now, let's get you to bed." Flash proceeds now to help Phoren into the east wing of the dojo, where several bedrolls have been laid out and prepared for tired guests.

PhorenNarqu hobbled on in, before collapsing on one, hissing in pain as he felt his burnt skin contact the material.

Shattered_Soul Smiles as she looks to the man, raising a slender hand and slowly moves her long, slender digits in a little wave. Her movement stops short as she realizes the man must be hurt and quickly makes her way towards them, her hips swaying in a saucy little movements." Whats wrong with him?" Her light red gaze going to the man on the bed.

Flash_Guardian looks back to the woman, wincing as he hears Phoren's pain-induced hiss. "He has just undergone," he starts to explain, "a very intense, powerful, and likely painful cleansing, if my understanding is correct." He looks with concern to Phoren. "More than that, I can't say. Are you hungry at all, Phoren?"

[PhorenNarqu ] "Food... Yes, I suppose I am."

Shattered_Soul a frown begins to cross her lush, pouty lips." Is there anything you can do to stop the pain.. Like I could heal or numb the pain." She glances around and looks back to him." Thats if you would let me of course...

Flash_Guardian smiles fondly ... he remembered what it had been like for him, becoming mortal again after all these years, and tasting food again for the first time in a very long time. "Alrighty! What sounds good right now? I'll fix you up whatever I can, with what food I have. In the meantime, I can leave my water here for you to drink. I would suggest you drink plenty, but," he says, shrugging uncertainly, "right now I think your own body will tell you what it needs. Just listen." Flash then turns to the woman appreciatively. "You're welcome to try, if such is your ability. Perhaps you could look over him while I prepare his meal?"

PhorenNarqu nodded, and lay his head back, closing his eyes "I feel... Tired."

Shattered_Soul Nods." I certainly will." She kneels next to the man and smiles warmly." I have just what you need to help you sleep." She reaches through her back and pulls out a small green bottle, holding it out to him." This is sooth your nerves and relax you. Soon after you will fall asleep for at the least 2 hours."

[PhorenNarqu ] "NO!"

Shattered_Soul Jumps back startled and stands up." Okay.. okay.." She bites her lower lip and slink slowly away from the bed.

Flash_Guardian fetches his neverending canteen from his bedroll on the far side of the empty classroom, bringing it back and laying it beside Phoren within easy reach. "Then rest, Phoren." At his outburst, Flash backpedals, looking between Phoren and the woman and wondering what was wrong.

[PhorenNarqu ] "I... I will not sleep! I am not weak!"

Shattered_Soul Looks to the man and pouts.." I was trying to offer him my grandmother tea, which would help him sleep. He said he was tired.."

Flash_Guardian sighs, looking down at the floor, then to the other woman. "I know ... and I'm sure a bit of tea would help to calm him down and let him rest." A strange look is given to Phoren, a look that says Flash only understands halfway what Phoren is probably going through.

Shattered_Soul Takes a slow step back." Maybe I shouldnt of come back.." she murmered to herself and looks to Flash," Im sorry for bothering you." She turns and makes her way towards the door, her feet quickly and light, not sure what else to do.

[Flash_Guardian ] "Denial won't help you, Phoren," Flash explains sadly. "You have to take care of your body now. Surviving on the blood of others and a couple hours spent in a coffin won't cut it anymore. Living bodies are much harder to take care of." Me wants to see Phoren get better, but first he will have to accept his new state.

[Flash_Guardian ] ((Me = Flash. Duh.))

[PhorenNarqu ] "I never spent my time in a coffin. I never slept. Never ate. And I was strong."

Flash_Guardian shakes his head. "I'm sorry, Phoren. Those days are over now. You have to earn your strength, and keep it. I know it won't be easy," he says, folding his arms and looking down to the floor, "but it can be done. And I can help you."

[PhorenNarqu ] "How?"

Flash_Guardian chuckles, smiling now. "Easy. Treat yourself right. Good food. Plenty of rest. And exercise. But you have to be dedicated about it if you really want it all to pay off. No slacking." Flash looks down to Phoren, smirking a little. Perhaps he doesn't think Phoren can do it.

[PhorenNarqu ] And tell me, would a lover fit in with this?"

Flash_Guardian turns to look back at the other woman now. "No! It's alright ... I'm glad you came back here. If you stick around, I promise I'll find a way to make it worth your while?" Flash looks to the woman pleadingly. Is he so desperate for company?

Flash_Guardian grins at Phoren, rubbing his chin. "Depends. A romantic interest can be a powerful motivating factor. Why? Is there someone out there you'd like to impress?" Flash wonders if he already knows the answer to that, but listens curiously.

[PhorenNarqu ] "Yes, as a matter of fact... Do you mind if I bring him round here while I recover?"

Flash_Guardian laughs light-heartedly, tossing his hand gently into the air. "No, of course I don't mi- ..." Flash seems a bit surprised for a moment, but quickly blinks it off and looks down and away again. "Err, no. Go right ahead." Phoren's words seemed to throw him just a bit.

[PhorenNarqu ] "Well, good."

Flash_Guardian nods to Phoren, arms dropping to his sides. "I'll go ahead and get you some food. Rest now." Without another word, Flash turns and exits the classroom, heading down the hallway and making his way to the west wing to gather food for the weary Phoren.

Valkrus ' SLAM!! ' is heard in the forest not to far from the dojo. Clouds of dust rise from the crash site as the 15 year old emerges from the crater he had just made. On his shoulder was perched a wyvern, looking about with his master. Valkrus sighs slightly at his disgust. " Hes not here.....must be somewhere else with that girl of his... " He looks around again and scratches the wyverns ears as he does so.

PhorenNarqu slowly lay his head back, and sighed. Closing his eyes

Flash_Guardian hears a crash out in the woods nearby, wondering what the noise is all about and having a sharp suspicion he'll be finding out shortly. He reaches the west wing, making his way over to a box and rifling through it for some food. A bag of bread is pulled out, along with some smoked and dried meats, a block of cheese, and several of those delicious star fruits Blue found on the island near the beach. Flash decides to hold off on the meat, thinking them too difficult for a newly awakened stomach to be able to handle. Taking the bread and cheese, he quickly cuts a couple of slices, places them on a tray with the fruit, and begins carrying it all back to the east wing.

Valkrus pets his pet wyvern on the head, then points out to the ocean. " Go and fly around. I'm going to practice with my lance. " The wyvern would nod in reply and fly off his shoulder. While the wyvern would fly about joyfull, Valkrus pulled out his Gungier lance with both hands....then started to train with the basics of a simple double thrust attack, one to the head and the other to the midsection.

[Valkrus ] joyfull= joyfully

Flash_Guardian quietly opens the door to the classroom, then sets the tray of food quietly on the floor next to Phoren. As he stands. one last hopeful look is given to the man, along with a slight smile and a few hopeful words, softly spoken. "Everyone else I call friend has found their new beginnings here. Perhaps yours has finally come." With that, Flash turns and leaves, easing the door closed behind him and allowing Phoren to rest. Outside, his keen ears quickly pick up the sounds of an armored figure in vigorous motion, somewhere nearby. Flash moves down the hallway to the southern door out of the east wing, opening it and leaning his head out to listen more carefully.

Valkrus indeed, Valkrus was in vigrious motion with his lance. He moved from a simple double thrust to a more 'complex' thrust. His wyvern would just fly about in the sky, being the size of a hawk.

PhorenNarqu quickly devoured it all, enjoying each and every bite like it was his first, and when he was finished, he lay his hwead back once more, contented

Flash_Guardian looks out into the woods. A short ways from the edge of the clearing, Flash makes out a figure in motion, glints of sunlight occasionallly reflecting off his armor as it makes its way through the thick canopy of trees above. Tilting his head, Flash decides to take a closer look, stepping out and onto the ground below, shutting the door behind him and trotting briskly over towards Valkrus to peer through the bushes and overgrowth.

Valkrus continues to practice with his spear...and after one quick thrust to the head he stops suddenly...then out of no where, 2 images alike to Valkrus move foward from his body. One stabs to the head infront of him, the other to the midsection. At that moment, Valkrus jumps about 12 feet into the air, and comes down at a 45 degree angle. As he landed his spear sticks into the ground and he lands on one knee.

Flash_Guardian applauds suddenly, grinning in approval. "Nicely done," he calls out to the lancer, at last approaching closer to make his presence known. "Your technique is impressive. I'm sure it would give even the most proud warrior pause." Flash stops a short distance away to look over the young man ... sparing another glance to the fallen trees caused by the earlier crash nearby. Flash shakes his head, folding his arms casually in front of him for now. "What do you call that little maneuver?"

Valkrus turns to Flash as he appears and stares at him for a bit....then he shakes his head silently to himself. " Its called Vorpal Thrust..... "

Cannon falls out of the sky. Its not in his usual manner. Somehow today instead of falling straight down, he appears to be falling from somewhere off to the North-West.... and rolling in the air in multiple directions. All the same, he rights himself moments before colliding with the ground, coming to a dramatic stop feet down with a shockwave of heat to buffer his fall. With a spin, he alights on the soil... his bare feet touching down gentley. Its the first time he has shown up in about four days at least... and something grave plays across his features.

BenjaminBlue had been walking on the outskrits of Redfang island, climbing and hopping between the rock near the coast. The ocean had made his fanciful outfit quite damp and chilly, but little did it seem to hinder the man much from his escapades. His important atifacts were still set upon the shore: His feathered cap, his dress jacket, his velvet gloves as well as his slippers. It had been quite sometime since last he had just explored for the sake of childish curiousity, normaly feeling as if he had been obligated to search for something. Today though, it was enough just to walk through the seafoam and let his feet sink without the soft sands. Climbing up upon another rock, careful not to cut himself on its harsh surface, Ben seated himself and drew his knees to his chest, looking out to the ocean. It was qutie a view, as it had most always been. Although traveling upon the water often made him feel ill, watching the ocean's waves roll towards the shore always set him at ease.

Flash_Guardian nods, apparently approving of the name as well. He smiles encouragingly to the young lad. "I haven't seen anyone use that particular style of fighting for quite a long time," Flash tells Valkrus. "Let alone one as young as you are. Very impressive." Flash looks back over his shoulder to the structure nearby, calling attention to it. "My dojo has plenty of room for practicing in. You're welcome to train there, if you'd like. Perhaps I can even assist you. My name's Flash." With that, Flash bows in a more formal greeting to the lad.

Flash_Guardian hears the tell-tale arrival of Cannon falling from the sky, looking over his other shoulder and spotting him quickly through the trees, back in the clearing. He grins happily ... no doubt Cannon will be pleased to see the finished product of what he had started so long ago.

Cannon barely seems to have noticed the dojo / temple even. He is concerned enough that he skims right over toward Flash and announces: "You probably won't be seeing me again for a while... after I'd just got back too, essentially."

Valkrus pays not attention to the arrival of Cannon....he keeps focused on Flash. " .......I am Valkrus.......A Dragoon..... "

Flash_Guardian nods to Valkrus, straightening once more. "Pleased to meet you. And welcome to Redfang Island." Flash now addresses Cannon more fully, catching the graveness on his face that quickly reminds him of ... well, of something. "Taking a bit of a vacation, eh? Or is this more work given to you by your mother? She certainly keeps you busy."

Valkrus turned his back to Flash and looked up to the skys. He gives out a loud whistle...and seconds later its replied by a wyvern cry. His pet wyvern returns from the skys and perches upon Valkrus' right shoulder. He turns back around to face Flash, scratching his pet's ears some.

Cannon shakes his head. He gestures abstractly to the side with one hand before speaking again. "Its about the matter we spoke of before. I told you that the certain individual cannot exist in the same dimensional space as me at the same time.... and it appears she has primary authority. Mother has essentially assigned me to a different dimensional set of worlds for the duration..... but I know thats just an excuse.... Its her hope perhaps that I won't find out that I cannot come to this world while the other is here. Hence, she will be around in my place essentially...... not to say you will necessarily see her. She is being placed on this world, but not in this part of it, and as I'm sure there are many people who you've never seen before and never will, the chance of you running into her randomly is slim..."

BenjaminBlue refastened the silver ornament upon his left arm, snapping the gauntlet back into place with an audible snap of the topmost latch, his attention still pulled towards the ocean's peaceful and soothing presence. Dispite the fact that nothing would exist to fill the space of his shining silver gauntlet, the man flexed his fingers with a slight look of strain, an unhappy look. It pained him a little bit... The joints of his metallic prothesis seemed to ache, his movements with that hand slow and rigid. Using his other hand, the priest forcefully curled all fingers inward and let his gauntlet rest against one leg, letting his head drop forward with a tiresome sigh. "Goodness..." he whispered to the ocean. "It becomes heavy... I must learn temperance."

Cannon rubs his hands together. "However.... I have found out what she looks like, if not her name. Would you like me to show you?" ... He glances to left and right momentarily, then back to Flash. "I can conjure the required images in your mind, before you get any funny ideas about how else I might show you."

Valkrus happens to turn around and notices BenjaminBlue. Of all people....since it seemed Flash was busy, Valkrus walks over to Benjamin, next to him actually. He sits next to him and looks at the ocean. " Good to see you agian, Priest. "

Flash_Guardian 's eyes go wide upon seeing the little draconic creature, apparently Valkrus's companion. He can't help but smile at the cute young thing and how energetic and cheerful it seems to be ... however Flash can't help but remember a few bad experiences he's had with wyverns in the past. They tend to be very territorial, ill tempered, and vicious. To Cannon now, Flash looks to the being with an intelligent twinkle of hope in his eyes. "Actually, I've been thinking about that somewhat, and it's given me a great idea." At Cannon's offer, Flash quickly nods and waits for the mental contact, not having forgotten about the boy, but this was an urgent matter.

BenjaminBlue pulls his hand back and set it against the rock, looking over his shoulder to the lancer he had met with once before. "Ah, good Valkrus. Yes, a pleasure indeed to see you again," he said, bringing a smile to his face as he motioned towards the vacant space next to him, a seat of volcanic rock. "I can assume you have met with Sir Flash? A good man... I am sure you did," he said, gazing back to the ocean with eyes as blue as its waters.

Cannon closes his eyes and focuses. There is an oddly creeping feeling in Flash's mind.... If it was a computer, it would rather be like the sudden arrival of a pop-up... for reference. An image forms of an oriental-looking woman... oddly tall and lithe, wearing a perfectly pressed and creased business suit. Her hair is jet black, totally straight and comes to about halfway down her back. The woman appears to be late twenties to early thirties in age, her expression calm but serious.....

Valkrus indeed takes a seat on the volcanic rock. His pet wyvern would hop off his shoulder and rest on a rock as well. " Indeed...I have met Flash....yet I am concerned.... "

Flash_Guardian nods after recieving the mental image, trying to memorize every detail about the woman's appearance, but focussing mostly on the face. Flash never forgets a face. He nods for Cannon's benefit, indicating that he's recieved the image. "Rather prim and business-like, I'd say. You sure that's her?"

Cannon 's eyes flicker a little. The image changes then. The woman remains.... but her costume changes from a business suit to something rather more outlandish. The new costume is a tightly wrapped one, almost skintight and dark blue in colour. The woman now has various 'tools' of certain sorts barely visable about her person, and apparently the feeling comes through that she has many more unseen. The only obvious one is a Kento-Gusari attached to her back. Parts of the suit are actually skintight, including that area that covers her lower face. Her hair is now tied back. The expression is all the same though.

BenjaminBlue let his eyes glide back towards Valkrus without turning his head, both arms coming around his knees as he hunched forward. "Concerned?" asked the cleric, a sympathetic intonation showing his concern. "Tell me what vexes you. Perhaps I may be able to help in some way..." Blue pivoted slightly towards the draconic knight and his flighty companion, both arms still wrapped around both legs as he turned.

Flash_Guardian nods quickly at recieving the new image. "Okay, I believe you ... that must be her. Anything else you want to show me?"

Cannon opens his eyes, and his input ends... leaving only the memory of the picture. "That is most certainly her. As I said before, I apologise that I cannot give you her name yet. I will consider to try however.... from wherever I am sent next. I will work covertly on developing some kind of remote communication device beyond my mother's frequencies..... It won't be easy though, and until then... we'll likely be completely out of contact. I hope that if you do see her, you will recognise her and remember to inform me later."

Valkrus " ...He said I was...'Impressive'.... " He reaches out to his pet wyvern and starts to pet it. " ....It just reminds me of my past...he hasen't seen the style I've used for a long time....yet he knows of the style it seems...this concerns me.... "

Flash_Guardian opens his eyes and looks to Cannon, saying one word. "Dreams."

Nicole would drift along flowing with the ocean's tide as it brought her nearer the island, blood was in the water, and faint glimpses of a body would be floating atop, of course with blood, comes sharks, and a shark indeed was trailing the scent as the large grey fin was approaching at a high rate of speed, the figure in the water remained upon it's belly, floating like a piece of log, the woman's hair was a mess, and she was virtually naked, minus bits and pieces of torn jet black latex, on one arm was a bent piece of what only could be described as a sword, while the other displayed a more broader looking edged weapon, each were attached to her elbows, as she was cascaded toward the sandy port, the shark would --

Nicole -- close in as it was indeed a great white, almost within a blink of an eye the woman would spring upward with her arm raised slicing half of the large fish's head into two parts, immediately large amounts of crimson fluid littered the once cryllic blue waters, the rushing tide tossed the woman upon the sand as she rolled for a moment or so getting cut here and there, she would come to rest upon her stomach, as her clothing barely covered much, her bottem half would be displayed almost perfectly, as her upper portion covered half of one breast, and exposed the other, blood and cuts along with scrapes and scars littered her ivory pink flesh, the woman was no completely unconcious.

Cannon blinks. "Dreams? I'm uncertain of my degree of influence over such, let alone across transdimensional boundaries.... Do you have a means?"

BenjaminBlue lifts his head from its perch and looks towards Valkrus now, the majority of his golden hair covering one side of his face. "I can understand why one would be worried about such a thing... Sir Flash is quite the well-traveled man. The times I have seen him encounter new or miraculous things, I always see a glimmer of wonder in his eyes. This shine is not caused by his innocence, but rather seems to be an appriciation for all things of such a nature. Many a thing he has seen, though he seems surprised or not, it is quickly understood and handled his the his utmost attention and care. A true scholar if you might say..." He said, sounding in a somber mood. "But why does this bother you, lad? Do you feel intimidated?"

[Nicole ] (( no = now ))

Valkrus shakes his head slightly. " Its not me....Its Ra- " His attention is drawn by the women that washed ashore. His eyes widen as he gives Benjamin a light tap on the shoulder. " Look, Over there....is she alive?! "

Flash_Guardian shakes his head, showing Cannon his empty hands. "I'm afraid not ... though I think it would be the perfect means of communication. Dreams tend to work even across planar barriers, seeing as most people's dreams come from a different realm in the first place. Perhaps if you get the chance, you should make your way to the dream realm while you're ... out . The ones in charge of sending dreams are sometimes willing to send a certain individual something 'special' . For a modest fee, of course." Flash simply shrugs at this point. "Something for you to go on, at least. I'll see what I can do from my end. Anyway, did you want to hear my idea?" Flash grins cheerfully at this, proud of his brilliance yet equally uncertain.

Cannon nods... still concerned, but interested to find out about this idea. He spares the briefest glance for the arrival of someone else on the island and apparently not in the best of states either.

BenjaminBlue felt the light tap on his slender shoulder and focused his attention towards the ravaged maiden set against the beach, his expression showing a little alarm as well. "I can not say, but let us hurry." The priest lowered himself from the rock and made all haste towards the lady, noticing a reddish tint in the water as he hurried. As he thought, another victim of the sea or perhaps even something else. Kneeling beside the stranger, Ben looked back to the dragoon and motioned towards his things that he had left behind on the grass. "Sir Valkrus! Bring me my thing if you could. I will need them..." The priest quickly turned his attention back to the lady, turning her over on her back before leaning down to check for a heartbeat and if she were breathing.

Flash_Guardian does not notice the adrift woman, as there is 1000 feet of trees between where he is standing at the center of the island and the beach. Perhaps Cannon's vision is that acute, but Flash's certainly isn't. And so he proceeds to explain. "I was thinking we could hold a tournament here at the dojo," Flash says. "Martial artists only. Subdual matches. We could offer a prize for the winner as well." Flash smirks knowingly, leaning forward and lowering his voice. "A very ... attractive prize. Something no ninja could resist. And if she's as good as you say she is, and your mother thinks she is ... she's sure to win." Flash now leans back, as if the two were having the most casual conversation in the world.

Valkrus nodded and quickly stood from his position. He ran over to the bushes that Benjamin pointed out to...yes, his tools. He grabs them all and rushes over to Benjamin, kneeling down next to him and setting his tools down next to the girl as well.

BenjaminBlue gave Valkrus an abrupt nod in thanks for being quick with his things, feeling a little more comfortable with the extra help. The bard gripped his tailored jacket and draped it over the lady's exposed body before looking to the rest of his things: His feathered cap, his slippers, his velvet glove, and his blue jacket. Plucking the quill from his hat, Ben removed a small vial of silver ink from the side pocket of his vest along with a small bit of parchment. "Goodness gracious.... What happened to you?" he asked as he lifted opened the container of ink and thrust his quill inside. "Thought it may be in your inability to worry as of now, I shoud still say that you should have nothing to fear. This should bring you back to us..."

Flash_Guardian nods. His idea has been expressed. Cannon must be pondering the feasability of such a plan. For now, Flash simply tells Cannon "Think about it" before heading back to the dojo to check on Phoren.

Nicole would be rolled over onto her back as the sand matted against her wet flesh, the woman was practically nude, as her breasts were exposed, her stomach had numerous cuts and scrapes about it, as blood would infact pour out slowly, her face was a mixture of bruises and gothic style makeup. She was breathing, but very shallow, for she had taken a severe beating from several gang members upon a cruise ship that was transporting young children as slaves, Razor of course tried to stop this but was ambushed by several dozen, beaten, bloodied and tossed off the ship left for dead, the ocean current had brought her nearest the alley, her blades upon both arms were metallic and stained with scarlet fluids as she had infact took

Nicole -- out some of them before being over powered. Her eyes were shrouded by the long strands of wet hair mixed with blood across her face, she murmured something but remained quiet otherwise, as she felt fingers upon her flesh, she would rise up and go for Benjamin's throat, but as soon as she had made contact she would fall back losing conciousness again. She remained there, still and silent, like a fallen angel, other parts of her body, were cut, and several scars from past years of fighting, abuse, rape were evident. Razor was indeed a work of torture, and the complete lack of power from the abuse, had intensified her insanity over the years.

Valkrus was about to atttack when the hand came up at Benjamins throat...but it didn't, so he backed off. " Shes a violent one.... His wyvern inches closer to Nicole and sniffs the blood around her. Raiden looks up at Valkrus and makes a small growl noise. Valkrus looks to his wyvern and nods, then to Benjamin. " Raiden is senseing shark blood around this woman. She must have been attacked but somehow lived... "
