Missing Love

Devaine_Hawk stands around the camp sight in his dress blue Marine uniform, looking out of place , un comfortable, and hot . He reaches to run his hand along the hilt of Storm Blossom from time to time almost as if touching the sword helps him relax or focus . Walking around the perimeter of the clearing his eyes scan the tree line, the sky and the shadows constantly. His left eye has that electric almost neon Blue in it , as he looks around . Reaching up to tap the diamond stud in his left ear, he whispers all clear so far, we have sun shine and roses for the happy coupe as it stands That s Dev for you. Even at a wedding he s on alert and ready for trouble to pop up guess old habits die harder than we thought .

PhorenNarqu stood near the dojo, flaxen haired again, with a healthy tinge to his flesh, but sighed

PhorenNarqu was working with a sparkling sand, invoking the protection of various gods, resting his head against the ground ever so often, and muttering something

Flash_Guardian bursts forth from the main entrance of the dojo in his snazzy new attire, a gift from his friend, Devaine. His armani suit fits him well, tailored to fit just right. He stumbles to a stop just outside, bringing a hand up in one smooth motion to lazily slide his neon yellow shades forward, pulling them up and resting them on his head. His normally fiery and unruly hair has actually been coerced into laying flat for the occasion. A smug grin comes over Flash's face as he looks down at himself. "Ohhh yeahhh," he praises admiringly, nodding in obvious approval.

Devaine_Hawk watches Phoren work on his kind of protective measures , he on the other hand ha been working on some o his own all day before he changed for the wedding . All around the clearing he d rigged bamboo shafts lashed together to make large square s . Using tree limbs and trip wires to tie these over sized pin cushions in place around the island and clearing . If any one trips the trap they might get crushed by the large impaling pad like devices . Just a little some thing he picked up fr4om a friend in the South Korean Liberation front from back in the day.

Devaine_Hawk hopes he described his booby trap well enough for you all to get the idea of what it looks like and could do?

Devaine_Hawk paces back and forth. Still his eyes can the area around the dojo, watching and waiting . He opens his mind s eye, searching for auras he s not familiar with in the area .

Viimz strokes the shelled necklace as it peers down at the activies going on below...its snout wrinkling wondering what they are upto

Sharr walked to the Isle, along the land bridge, dressed in his blue clothes of linen, simple and rugged. Elven features clearly showing

PhorenNarqu stood, brushing off his clothes, of a fine black silk, golden embroidery present upon it. And he straightened his cloak, with the image of a raven in black upon it. He took up his pouch, and placed it back in his pouch, before blowing the remaining sand away with a breath, prayers being carried upon them. He turned suddenly, feeling the distinctive energy of Sharr. So he had returned. It wasn't just a myth. His older brother had come back. The greatest warrior ever known in Syildarn.

Viimz shifts on its own plane of existance....head tilting a little to catch the words they might be saying chuckling as it picks its teeth of decaying remant pieces of food as it sees Flash

Flash_Guardian brings a wrist casually up to his mouth, tapping on it once before speaking into it. ~Boy scout, here. All dressed up, and no place to go! Where's the lucky couple?~ Flash lowers his arm and looks around for any others he may recognize.

Sharr continued to the clearing, avoiding all the traps. And drew his sword. His stupid little brother... He had to die. He couldn't let him dishonour his family, with his vampirism. But he pasued, as he saw the old Phoren standing there. Not the image painted by the ones who had raped him, and promptly been slain in a brutal fashion. Perhaps... Perhaps he wouldn't have to kill him at all.

[Sharr ] paused*

Devaine_Hawk taps his ear ring as he walks toward his hammock stretched between two trees near the dojo, no sign of them so far , getting a bad feeling about all this he whispers . Every one that knows Dev knows his feelings are more than just that . He kneels to rummage through a small pack near the foot of the hammock.

Serielle is currently in the ladies room at the moment, having unoffically taken it over for purposes of preparing for the wedding. She has only known the couple in question for a few days, but she was quite excited nonetheless. Digging through her rather large box of shoes, she finally selects a gorgeous pair of black Manolo Blahnik stiletto slingbacks. "Mmm, perfect," she purrs, holding them next to the shimmering black piece she had found by Dolce and Gabbana. In Serielle's book, a wedding was a perfect excuse to go all out.

PhorenNarqu looked at his brother. Waves of dread washing over him. The last time he had seen him, he had died to save his life. "Sharr... What are you doing here?"

Devaine_Hawk stands again, holding his equipment belt with the two night stick like weapons on it in one hand and what from a distance would appear to be a military issue nine millimeter in the other . Pulling the belt around his waist over his dress uniform s sash, he shoves the gun in his waist line at the small of his back. Putting his left hand on the hilt of Storm Blossom where she hangs at his side in her sheathe he whispers under his breath. sorry about all the other gear, Tya, but until I learn to wield you properly, I think I should be ready to resort to more familiar weapons he tells some one, is he talking to his sword again?

Flash_Guardian sighs, his posture slumping now sadly. ~I sure hope you're wrong today, Dev ... I really don't want to mess around fighting in this suit if I can avoid it. I'll keep my eyes open, and let you know if I see anything. Boy scout out.~ With that, Flash taps his wrist again, disconnecting. He turns back to the dojo, crouching for a moment before springing up into the air in a powerful leap, landing on the roof overhead. Flash continues to run up the incline of the roof over the south wing of his dojo, grimacing. "Wow, this suit is a lot more restrictive than I'm used to," he complains, moving at not quite full speed. When he reaches the flat peak at the south roof's center, he turns around to looks out over the clearing, spotting Phoren nearby, as well has another elven warrior of some kind, watching curiously.

Viimz rubs its slender talon fingers together as it watches the activities its senses telling it where those it can not see are....such interesting things these...playthings..a talon funs lightly over a shark's tooth attached around its neck by a leather cord debating whether to have some fun today or just look and see what happens. It's mind turns to the events of yesterday and the nice lady it had held such a pretty thing such a shame too

Devaine_Hawk can only stay around another hour or so, sorry all. Should be on longer tomorrow night .

[Sharr ] "I came to kill you, Brother. You have shamed our family." But he sheathed his sword, and walked over, to hug him. "It's been a while."

Serielle slips into the gown, tying the delicate lace around her neck. Oh, how she adored haltered dresses...with an effervescent smile, she slipped on her heels and finished with a pair of simple diamond adorned chandelier earrings. Satisfied with both clothes and makeup, she put her things away and headed out into the dojo proper, looking for one of the typical inhabitants of the dojo. She hasn't really gotten to know many of the others, with the exception of Aislinn...but even her, she'd only spoken to a few times!

[PhorenNarqu ] "Oh..." He hugged him back, briefly "It has. A lot has changed."

Devaine_Hawk moves toward where Phoren and a stranger talk with each other . Coming close he stops to look at the stranger closer . He can see .similarities between the two men s auras, in a way . I am going to go patrol along the beach, but I want to tell you both some thing before I leave he whispers . Looking at them their body language lets him see the tension between them .

Serielle hears a rather loud sound coming from above, and, naturally curious per usual, she heads straight for the door, seeking the source of the sound.

Flash_Guardian watches Sharr closely from the rooftop, eyes narrowing at the exposed sword ... though he quickly is relieved to see the sword sheathed and the situation more or less dissolved. He would certainly hate to have to break up a fight on a day such as this. He can't help but glance back at his suit ... it felt kinda restricting, but dang did it look good! Flash can't help but look the suit over once more, glancing to the gold and diamond studs that decorate the black surface. Shaking his head, he taps his wrist one more time. He has a couple things to say to Devaine, now that he thinks about it. But upon seeing Devaine in another conversation, he grunts and frowns, holding off on his words.

Viimz leans a little closer as coal black eyes catch the running motion of the figure across the roof of the structure shaking its head a little as the tooth swings back against its chest along with the shells and other teeth. what are these beings up to?

Serielle crosses the threshold of the door, immediately turning around so as to attempt to get a look at what may have caused the noise. Seeing nothing, she heads inside as remembers her staff inside.

Serielle crosses the threshold of the door, immediately turning around so as to attempt to get a look at what may have caused the noise. Seeing nothing, she heads inside as remembers her staff inside.

Flash_Guardian nods, though Devaine can't see it over the connection. ~Sure thing. I'll let you know if the man and woman of the hour show up. And hey, I just wanted to thank you again for this fantastic suit! I haven't looked so good since ... well, put it this way, I didn't think it was possible for me to look any better. But with the suit, I do.~ He grins proudly, thankful for such wonderful friends.

Devaine_Hawk laughs a he picks his way carefully along the path leading to the beach. He makes sure not to trip any of the booby trap bamboo shaft impaling pads or trip wire he d placed . Flash, if your head gets any bigger it won t fit though the dojo door Moving along the path he reaches the beach. over and out

[Sharr ] "Like?"

[PhorenNarqu ] "Well... I have a daughter now. And you know Kurn?"

Viimz talon taps its oily chin lazily it might be fun to just well....or should it stay where it is ooooh the choices is endless

[Sharr ] "You have a daughter? By who? What's she look like? And what about that midget?"

Flash_Guardian doesn't notice Serielle as she quickly comes and goes, simply standing there on the roof for a moment, looking slightly dazed and startled. He plays his own words over in his head one more time, face falling as he realizes just what he said. 'I didn't think it was possible ... to look any better ...' For a moment, Flash seems slightly concerned ... the he quickly shakes his head and shrugs it off. "Probably nothing," he says, not realizing the connection is still on so Dev can hear him, barely if at all.

PhorenNarqu sighed, and slowly sat down, beckoning him to do the same "Well, by a japanese girl called Chiren. She has her mother's eyes, and my hair. As far as I can tell. Might just be a phase of her growth though."

[Sharr ] "Japanese? How old is she, anyway? I mean your daughter."

Devaine_Hawk makes his way along the beach. Still feeling that familiar itch in the back of his mind this saved his bacon more than once in the past . Opening his mind to allow his psychic senses to reach out and search the ether for any thing out of place , he stands rooted in place for a time . Not sensing any thing right now, he does see a familiar aura growing close and grins here comes the bride he hums mentally. Starting back to the dojo, he taps the ear ring again. she s on her way, no sign of Blue boy yet

[PhorenNarqu ] "She's a year old. And uh... Kurn is my lover now."

Serielle reemerges from the dojo, a finely crafted staff in hand. Turning to face the dojo, she takes the staff in one hand, weaving an arcane sigil in the air above her. " Ch'ai Chin, The Little Whirlwind !" she exclaims, as a breeze surrounds her, lifting her up and depositing her safely upon the rooftop. Smiling appreciatively up at the stars, she looks about for another presence atop the dojo.

[Sharr ] "What? You and that midget? You're joking, right?"

[PhorenNarqu ] "Nope. Not joking."

Flash_Guardian hears Devaine's voice speak from his wrist cuff ... though it takes him a moment before he snaps out of it, nearly jumping and bringing his wrist up to his mouth again. ~Wha-? Oh ... right.~ Flash seems rather embarrassed and quiet for a moment before he brings up his earlier topic. ~Uhh, anyway ... I've been thinking. You've got a really cool sword. I've got a really cool sword. Neither of us know how to use them. What do you say we do some friendly sparring with them at some point? If nothing else, it should get us both a bit more comfortable with them.~ Flash glances away to the edge of the roof now, thinking maybe he should get down for now. Blue will probably pick up on Blue and Aislinn's arrival long before he will. But as he does, a familiar woman appears on the rooftop's edge, startling him yet again. "Oh!" Flash fidgets, trying to think of some obvious reason for him to be up on the roof. When nothing comes to mind, he simply rubs the back of his neck awkwardly. "Hi?"

Devaine_Hawk arrives back in the clearing after a time spent patrolling the beach . Once again he taps the ear ring . we still have a green light as long as Phoren and his friend behave, and they better he whispers into it, waiting on Flash to respond while he watches the two men .

Devaine_Hawk nods and calls out to Flash on the roof . close as we are you can stop using the com link, but all right we can do that some time . He pats the hilt of Strom Blossom hear that, your cool for a sword !!

[Sharr ] "Right. That is odd."

Serielle perks a brow at the fabulously dressed man, wearing significantly different garb than what she had previously seen him in. She wonders exactly what he's up to....up...here. She overhears a smidge of Devaine's shouted message to Flash, but not enough to clearly discern it. Regardless, she returns his greeting, responding with a friendly "Hello," and slowly approaching him. One would imagine a woman in such tall, narrow heels would have some difficulty traversing the dojo roof, but none is apparent in this case.

[Sharr ] "No it's not. I've got your sword inside."

Flash_Guardian looks from his wrist cuff to Devaine down below a time or two. A sheepish grin comes over his face now, as he quickly taps at his wrist. "Heh ... right. Sorry." Flash now folds his arms behind his back, standing up there on the roof in his Armani suit, staring at the beautifully attired woman before him. In high heels. On a rooftop. Flash's eyes go wide, apparently very impressed. "I, uh ... I was just on my way ... you know ... down." He points to the ground for emphasis, looking rather cute as he tries to play it cool in his awkward and embarrassed moment.

[PhorenNarqu ] No it's not. I've got your sword inside."

Devaine_Hawk shades his eyes with one hand as he cranes his head back to look at Flash and Serielle on the roof . oh your on your way alright he chuckles as he sees and hears Flash s reaction to her .

Viimz shifts a little as it watches the meeting on the rooftop dark eyes taking in how pretty both look...male and female...chuckling as it sends black spittle everywhere..

Devaine_Hawk leans against a tree and lights another smoke . Chain smoking , he is today it looks like . People tell him it will kill him, but he figures other things and people will beat cancer to the punch. He watches the others as they do what ever it is they do, taking it all in, and seems to lose him self in thought.

Flash_Guardian stands there awkwardly, eyes glancing at Serielle every now and again, though he's doing his best to avoid staring. A bashful grin lines his face, one that he seems to be doing his best to hide.

Devaine_Hawk is now a NPC, got to testify in court in a few hours on a case I worked , then a short shift at work today, then, if lucky a nap, then be back tonight, see you all then ?

Serielle chuckles quietly, the chandelier earrings tinkling like fae-bells orginating in tales of old. She smiles brightly, and looks out at the beautiful view of the ocean beyond, respecting it's desire to reach the stars at the end of the horizon. She seems to not notice the man's bashful grin...but that could mean little.

PhorenNarqu Sharr: sighed, an d nodded "You've held onto it all these years?"

Flash_Guardian regains his composure, coughing into his fist rather purposefully. "Well, uh ... I don't believe we've met, miss ..." He waits for a name, but then looks to his surroundings and thinks better of it. "Actually, a rooftop makes for a poor place for introductions." He starts making his way to the roof''s edge. "Need some help getting back down?" he offer.

[Flash_Guardian ] ((offers. with an 's'.))

Serielle flashes the man a gracious smile, accepting his offer by way of a simple nod. She approaches him, walking quite steadily along towards the roof's edge. Reaching him, she flashes another glittering smile.

PhorenNarqu nodded, and stood, walking into the dojo, and picking up the sword from where it lay

Viimz peers right over now watching the only two that seemed to be doing anything on the lower planes...snout screwing up

Flash_Guardian stands with the woman at the roof's edge, catching her brilliant smile and returning one of his own before looking down to the ground below. He ponders for a moment whether to do this the easy way, or the hard way. Seeing as the hard way could prove harmful to both of their expensive outfits, Flash elects for the easier option. He offers Serielle his arm in a most debonair fashion, smirking playfully ... though his other free hand stirs and waves through the air in strange patterns, causing strange distortions much like one would see upon waving a hand through the watery surface of a pond.

Viimz is beginning to wonder if Blue is ever going to turn up today......are you sure he knows the wedding is today

[Flash_Guardian ] ((*points to Advertisement* [Grand Opening Celebration for Redfang Dojo . . . ~ ROCK THE DOJO ~ . . . Place: Redfang Island . . . Time: To be Announced . . .

Serielle graciously accepts, looping her arm through his in traditional fashion. She glances for a moment at his free hand, admiring his form. Smiling again, she awaits the completion of whatever magic the man is working.

Viimz finelly after loooong hours it seems at laat spots the shadowry form of Aislinn lurking in the dark greyness a glint appearing in its eyes...as slim hands clap together remembering the delicate delioius female

Flash_Guardian grins as the lady takes his arm, his free hand's motions gradually smoothing out into a single outward push, the ripples extending out for a bit. A subtle effect can be felt at work over Flash and Serielle ... a lifting feeling as suddenly she and Flash seem to simultaneously lift up off the roof by a few inches. At this, Flash simply winks to her before looking down, concentrating carefully and using his magic to float them forward, over the roof's edge, then slowly and gently lowering the pair to the ground, slowing slightly to allow them both to regain their land legs. Flash at last looks up to the woman now, continuing to lay on the charm. "Welcome back to the island," he jests with a cheery grin. "In case nobody else around here has introduced me, you can call me Flash." He beams proudly at the woman a moment before bowing his head in a most regal manner.

Viimz tits talons play with the seashell and shark tooth necklace remembering another female its lips pulled back into maybe what might be a sneer or a grin as it pictures where she is now and what nice....lol things are happening to her

[Viimz ] (( blinks......emmm sorry that was most certainly not meant to be tits.....it was supposed to be its....

Serielle grins widely, extending a delicate hand to Flash. The man was playing his charms, and she could hardly resist rising to the occasion. Her long eyelashes fluttering, she responds in a voice that rings softly in the air like fine crystal. "Aislinn mentioned your name to me the first night I arrived here. You may call me Serielle, Sir Flash."

Flash_Guardian gazes a moment at the offered hand, still not having straightened from his earlier bow. He ponders for a moment just what the woman is expecting ... but sees no reason to hold back. His own hand rises to take hers just by the tips of her fingers, pulling her hand a bit closer as he kisses the back of her hand in a most proper fashion, at last straightening and releasing her hand, smiling greatly. "Pleased to meet you, Serielle." He laughs light heartedly, shaking his head. "Strange that you should have been around this island so much, and I haven't gotten the chance to introduce myself until now. I must apologize for that."

Viimz wrinkles its snout wondering if the beautiful male is feeling okay chuckling as it shifts glad that the other male hadnt turned up the one with the funny hand.....ahhh what fun he had had with them all yesterday

Serielle grins once more. She thinks for a moment how like a jack-o-lantern she might look, smile permanently upon her face, but she dismisses the thought awithin a moment. Brushing a stray locke of platinum hair from her face, she gives a short, dismissing shake of her head. "Worry not, m'Lord. Lady Aislinn has told me of how busy you are, with your work on the dojo. One such as I could hardly expect to attract such immediate attention, from a man so oft engaged in such activity," she responds, playing a bit coy.

Flash_Guardian grins and squints his eyes at Serielle, looking as if he doesn't believe her for half a second. "Well for one, the dojo's been finished. At least for now. And I should think, dressed as you are, a woman like you should attract all manner of attention from any man, busy or not." Flash beams happily, at last able to show a side of himself that he hasn't expressed in weeks. In fact, not since ... not since ...

Flash_Guardian 's face suddenly faults, the smile on his face fading away as he looks away, trying to hide his now forlorn expression from Serielle. "Ummm ... I'm sorry." The once debonair demeanor is quickly gone, replaced by a worried sadness. "Please excuse me." Flash nods once to the lady before turning away and heading into the dojo's south wing.

Viimz rubs its hands wondering if this would be another emotion felt.......ooooh the joy the pure joy of life...

Serielle gazes curiously at the man as he leaves her, her brows raised in confusion. She follows swiftly after, as her surprise gives way to concern. Her heels oddly clicking even on the sand, she heads into the dojo behind him. "M'Lord?"

[Flash_Guardian ] When Serielle finds him, he is standing in the center of what will be a sitting room when it is finally furnished. His head is bent forward, and his hand seems to be clutching something at his chest. At Serielle's questioning, he does not turn as he does not wish her to see the moisture gathering at the corners of his eyes. Neither does he speak, as he seems to be wrestling with his own emotions at the moment. His hand continues to clutch whatever it's holding, his other arm hanging limply at his side.

Serielle clearly has no more thoughts of jack-o-lanterns, with her smile long left in favor if a more concerned, almost worried expression. She hurries to his side, placing her left hand on his shoulder (a feat much easier with the increased height provided by her heels), and her right hand on his, her staff hovering oddly to rest against the wall. "Lord Flash...are you alright?"

Flash_Guardian manages to nod slightly, his eyes shutting tightly. His shoulder and arm move slightly at the woman's touch, though he does not resist. "Yes, I ... I ..." he manages to say, though he still can't seem to face her. His body rocks as he takes a deep, steadying, almost gasping breath. "I'm fine," he finishes on the exhale, at last opening his eyes and looking to the woman. Which is more rude ... to hide your troubles from another, or to ignore their acknowledgement of such? His right hand is indeed clasping something. Whatever it is happens to be at the end of a thin silver necklace, though just what it is remains hidden in Flash's fist. If you look closely, though, you may catch a hint of a pink glow seeping out between Flash's clenched fingers.

Serielle notices such a glow, but is unable to tell if it is the cause of this....pain, is it? She moves around him, drawing closer and placing her right hand upon his fist. She gazes into his eyes, searching for his pain. They beg the question she does not speak. " Why do you hurt so ...?" Her left hand delicately reaches up to wipe a tear from his face, remaining there even after its purpose had been served.

Viimz dark eyes brighten as light catches the glint reflected...leaning further over as it almost falls off its perch .....ooooooh nowww this is getting interesting ...it could almost taste the piting emothion oozing from Flash....its lips curling back into a gleeful grin

Flash_Guardian actually seems to wince slightly at Serielle's more intimate contact, his eyes closing as again he turns his head away just a bit. He quickly realizes how this may look to the woman though, as he opens his eyes once more, shoulders drooping slightly. What a mess. "I'm sorry," he apologizes. "It's ... just ..." A moment is given as he seeks his words. "You've allowed me to feel ... just now ... the way that I feel ... with my love. A woman that I have not seen for some time now."

Serielle is a bit taken aback by this...her gaze swiftly dropping to the floor, with her hand following at a slower pace. These movements are accented by a sharp but quiet intake of breath. Her hand goes to her chest...but for some reason her other hand remains upon his. "I...I..." she stutters for a moment, before giving up all together, the words vanishing from her mind before she can even attempt to snatch at them.

volken gun: runs to the claring and climbs to the top of the constracen site to sevey the water for new arivels

Flash_Guardian sees Serielle's awkwardness ... precisely the thing he hadn't wanted. He reaches up with his free hand now, placing it over the hand at Serielle's chest tenderly, offering her a light and reassuring smile. Where her words falter, Flash speaks, his words apologetic and heartfelt. "Please ... I don't want you to feel bad. I ..." But what was there really to say? It seems Flash has lost his own words just as soon as they were found. He simply lets out the last of his breath, glancing away. "I didn't want my sadness to cloud your happiness. That's all."

Serielle slowly raises her gaze, her eyes warily returning to match his. It's almost a struggle to keep them trained on him..."What...what happened to her?" Before she knows it, the words have left her mouth. She wishes to grab hold of them, force them back in and away, as if they had never existed.

Serielle shakes her head, her gaze dropping again. "I...I'm sorry...I shouldn't..."

Flash_Guardian seems uncertain and disappointed. Slowly, he raises the thing he has been holding so close to his heart this whole time, at last relinquishing his safe-hold upon it as his fingers open, revealing a small and narrow amethyst crystal at the end of the silver chain about his neck. The crystal is indeed glowing every so slightly, a pale purplish hue. "I wish I knew," he explains sadly. "It's been a month since I last saw her face." He gazes at the crystal now, as if half expecting it to give him the answers he seeks.

Serielle simply looks at the floor, unable to speak. Words swim with in her mind, jostling eachother as they flitter about, each one wanting to be spoken, but they're all wrong. The right words are nowhere to be found...so silent she remains, staring at the floor. A tear forms. She knows not why....but it does, slowly growing in the corner of her eye, before fleeing to roll down her face, mingling with her eyeliner to create a slightly darkish streak across her cheek.

[Flash_Guardian ] With surprisingly agile reflexes and speed, Flash whips his hand in front of him ... there is the brief sound of cloth and cloth, and before you know it, Flash is gently dabbing the tear away from Serielle's face with the handkerchief from his suit pocket, taking care to do as little damage to the accents upon her face as he can. The sadness still lingers in Flash's face, though a deep and caring smile shows openly for the woman. "Your tears are misplaced," he tells her softly. "You have nothing be sad about. You are a beautiful woman, with much going for her, I am certain." He finishes his work, taking the white kerchief and placing it in the woman's hand, giving it a reassuring pat. "It was nice meeting you this day, Serielle. I only wish that all introductions could be so pleasant," he tells her, showing a sliver of that suaveness from earlier in his grin. "Good day." That being said, Flash leaves her there, making his way to another part of the dojo to be alone for a while ...

[Flash_Guardian ] ... to allow his swirling emotions to properly settle.
