New Order

[ClaudiusBlue ] A deep bow had been offered to the two as they approached him, his garb returning to a deep azure with silver trim. "Everything should be, dear heart. I had just been contemplating a manner of trivial things, just small things and nothing more." Small things to one may be larger to another though. "You would swim in this, Dev? Are you such a hardy man?" the duke chuckled back. But as he mentioned the imp and Glyniss, his black hand fell to his side while fingers wrapped around the hilt of his decorative rapier. "No... I have not seen them," a slightly less enthusiastic mood. Both eyes found their way back to Aislinn now, a smile coming over his face as he turned. "Are yourself? Is everything as it should be?" a hint of suspicion in his tone as he asked her.

[ClaudiusBlue ] *and

Aislinn avoided Claudius' question for now, her gaze on Devaine. "Nice to see you again... I must wonder what you have against clothing!" She teased Devaine about his lack of shirt. It was friendly, of course. Her smile fell as he asked about the creature and Glyniss. "Neither. One I wish I did see...the other, even I fear to." She wasn't a coward. Not the stubborn fiery lass. But, after the last time, she didn't know what would happen if it showed. It seemed to have control of her at times. What she did under the control, is what she feared.

Devaine_Hawk glances between them, then out to the icy water again . I learn some thing new almost every day he says in a mysterious tone, with a similar grin. Hardy has nothing to do with it though he takes another long draw off the smoke . sooner or later Ill take the imp down he promised them . Starting up the trail to the dojo, he calls over his shoulder you all worry too much, when it comes to things like combat

Flash_Guardian is seated within the confines of his dojo, cross-legged upon his bedroll, deep in contemplation. Urgent matters are calling to his attention. Urgent in his eyes, anyway. Eyes closed and stone faced, a plan begins to form in his mind ... until a voice other than his own pushes them aside, seeking his attention. Those eyes quickly blink open, surprised. "Serielle?" He looks all around the classroom now, seeming even more surprised to not see her standing there. A moment's pause is all that is needed for him to realize what is happening. A bright smile floods his face, though the issues he has set aside will not soon be forgotten. He quickly closes his eyes once more, seeking out something else with his heart.

ClaudiusBlue watched as Devaine began his journey back to the dojo, the grip of his velvety fingers loosening as he spoke. "I certainly hope that you do." It did not seem to matter whether he had heard him or not, just the need to mention that. His right foot had pushed through the thin layer of ice that he tread upon, a slight crackle before a shattering of the reflective surface, as he turned back to Aislinn. He felt it again, something that did not set well with him. "Shall we follow him? I would sit with you and share a cup of tea if you would allow it," the man jested as he offered his arm to her.

Aislinn also added, rather softly as her eyes trailed to watch him. "..and you do not worry enough, dear friend.." Those icy brew of violets looked to her dear heart, eventually taking said offered arm and his escort. "Well...I am unsure if a princess should converse with a lowly curr such as yourself." She teased, a dazzling smile finding its way to her petaled lips. She never mentioned her crown, but in private teasing, it was allowable. Her arm slid through hers, and a hand gently rested upon his bicep. "I apologize for not awaking yesterday. I was very tired..." She had stayed in the room and slept for the whole day and night.

Devaine_Hawk calls out in his loudest bawdiest voice as he draws closer to the dojo. Flash!! Wake up in there sleeping beauty!! We re ready to spar with you!! he pulls Storm Blossom from her sheathe , taking a few practice swings with the magnificent blade as he waits for a response . The snow flakes seem to melt as soon as they settle on his bare torso. He watches the door , left eye aglow , trying to see Flash s aura, it seems the others are a little off about some thing . Their auras and body language say what they don t .

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she was still sick, laying on the floor matress tucked in with a blanket. she looked a little better, but still had along way to go before health would return to her. Her head shawn with her silver hair and her tiger ears were back. The full moon had ended and she was once again hanyou. " where are benji and flash?" she asked softly to the empty room. she gave a cough that had the classic sound of loose phlegm. she picked up a face cloth that was beside her and spat into the cloth and tossed it to the side.

Serielle suddenly emerges from the floor beside Flash. Her arm lashes out, and the door to the classroom slams shut, and locks with a distinct 'click'. Her surveillance of the area had allowed Devaine's booming voice to reach her ears...and frankly, she wished a moment alone with the Dojo's Master...

[Little_Half~Breed_Kodora ] she was still sick, laying on the floor matress tucked in with a blanket. she looked a little better, but still had along way to go before health would return to her. Her head shawn with her silver hair and her tiger ears were back. The full moon had ended and she was once again hanyou.

[repost for blue]

Flash_Guardian can barely hear Devaine from where he sits in the east wing. But in his current state of meditative seeking, he can sense him to an extent. Him and his sword. "Well, well. Look who's finally back," he mumbles to himself. "And ready for a sword match, it seems." Flash's eyes open, glancing down to the bag laying at the foot of his bedroll, inside which rests the gift from his sensei known as Swordbreaker. Just then, a figure appears from beneath the floor, as is Serielle's custom, it seems. He looks to her, smiling, yet taps the communcator at his chest once briefly. 'Swordbreaker and I will be with you in a moment, Dev.' Another tap to end the transmission before smiling back at Serielle, though his brow wrinkles at the closing of the door. "Looks like you found me," he tells her, grinning and waiting for his love to explain.

[ClaudiusBlue ] His smile carried a sort of hidden brilliance as took his arm, a grateful nod given in response. "Then you shall abdicate your throne to be with me. I say it should be so," the duke proclaimed, shaking his finger in the air. They took it slow for now with no need to rush after the man, walking would be a nice change. "It is quite alright, my dear. You have only just returned. I only want you to be comfortable..." he said sweetly as they entered the woods. "But are you? I feel as if something is not right." The cold seemed to bother him little if even at all, the man actually enjoying the crisp frosty air.

Devaine_Hawk just shrugs and walks to the center of the clearing . Soon he begins to practice, it seems at least , on his own . But even though the movements with the sword are stiff and not those of a master, or even a novice , there is a pattern to them . Just like he does he tries to teach him self the basics of sword play, until he finds a better teacher . Any one looking close soon sees the target of his focused attacks , and it would be his own shadow on the snow next to him . He knows by all logic, what he s trying to do is impossible , he can t hit a shadow , even his own, but how better to practice, than by attempting the impossible ? fine come and teach us some thing !! he calls back out loud to Flash. Then he goes back to his practice, the swings mow like he s carrying a base ball bat than a sword . And he hears about that in his mind form Tya . will you stop swinging me around like a club?! It is embarrassing !! she mentally shouts . Dev just shrugs his shoulders as he speeds up the tempo of

Aislinn 's glacial violet eyes stared before them for a moment. A small forced laugh at his first words. "Aye...I shall abdicate the throne." Truth be told, she somewhat had done that already. Besides, it was not the wealth nor power that caught her eye. It never did. She always had both, a title and the chinks. Yet, she knew since she was five, it was not everything. "All that glitters is not gold..." She said softly, murmering almost. Closing her eyes and taking a breath in before she continued on. Her breath trailed in the air, a hazy fog. Thicker than most, as her inner temperature was higher than most anyone's. "Why would anything not be right?" She skirted it again.

[Devaine_Hawk ] of his uneducated swordsman ship, sorry but how else am I going to get better? Practice may not make me perfect by it self, but it carries me closer each day, slowly but surely!! Soon, even in the chilly air a fine sheen of sweat can be seen along his bare arm and on his chest, but the chill seems to bother him even less now that he is more active .

Serielle smiles fondly at Flash, lifting the asymetrical cloth of her skirt so as to sit beside him on the floor. "Of course I did," she replies, a rather charming smirk upon her face. Placing a dainty hand upon his knee, she ceases to speak, preferring a more...private form of conversation for the moment...

Flash_Guardian quickly scoots himself over, allowing Serielle a place on his bedroll and turning to face her. As she places that hand on his knee, one of his own moves to join hers, his strong fingers intertwining with her own more delicate ones. He again finds himself absolutely charmed by Serielle's form and grace, his eyes lighting up as he looks to her, waiting patiently.

[ClaudiusBlue ] The layer of snow that covered their path to the dojo seemed to eagerly push aside to let the pair pass, the winters striving to serve their lord. "It may be nothing, but I feel cause to worry. Something pains you, my dear?" The way she answered only further peaked his curiousity. To answer a question with another question, often a way to try to lead away from the topic. The bard had used it many times to evade a number of awkward encounters, but maybe she was not trying to do the same. "I sincerely doubt if it is just a fabrication on my part as to why you seem to feel the way I believe you to feel." Of course, he spoke of how she had reacted at dinner, the slight wince as he set his head upon her shoulder, the brief display of unpleasantness as she dimounted. Now, he just waited and listened, stopping at the edge of the dojo's grounds.

Aislinn stopped now as he did, her eyes straying to watch Devaine clumsily use his sword. She almost sighed at his lack of skill with it. Truth be told, though not many had seen her use it yet... she was quite skilled with her own. A woman had to be. Especially one in her position. It took a lot to be taken seriously...and learn to defend yourself. Especially after the addition of the bracer, and the icy brew that took her eyes the day after the wedding... she was changed. Matured, perhaps. Something. Her eyes finally glanced back at her husband, and she scowled a little. He was not allowing her to evade the subject at all. "I fell off Cleome.." Her violets moved quickly away again. The lady was ahorrible liar.

Devaine_Hawk continues to spar with his shadow , and soon he is in a world all his own in his mind . Blocking out even the voice of the sword Tya as he mentally berates him self not good enough. Not even close . I have to be better, the best good enough to kill a demon when I see it!! he shouts to him self in his mind His movements , while still not those of a man who knows the ways of the blade , but they do become faster and more violent than before . In his mind, some thing happens . reflexes and motor skills at three hundred times normal.. Respiration at maximum efficiency, internal body temperature raised to one hundred and two degrees to counter affect external temperatures On the out side the effects of the measures his mind takes shows on his body. Even though his movements are at almost a fever pitch now his breathing is still calm and controlled , even though his heart is hammering in his chest from the increase of adrenaline, he shows no signs of slowing his work out, and to a

[Devaine_Hawk ] all appearances he could keep it up all day. But in the back of his mind he hears even though you have the will and spirit of a true warrior . You still have the knowledge and skill of a toddler you brute keep trying I enjoy being in battle even if it is with your own ineptitude !!

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she huyphs a bit then stands up, picking up a blanket and wrapping it around her " hope blues inside. i dun wanna go out there" she coughed softly, siffling a bit more. she shuffled outof the room, begining to explore the unfamiliar dojo in hopes to find Blue. "Uncle Benji?" she called out thorugh the halls between coughing fits. "Uncle Benji?" she called outagain. she wasn't having much luck finding anyone she wanted to be with.

Flash_Guardian hears Kodora just outside, in the hallway. He moves his head in her direction for just a moment, before returning his attention back to Serielle, quietly hoping that Blue and Kodora will find each other somehow.

[ClaudiusBlue ] As she turned from him, a small frown started to grow beneath his moustache. Blue had hardly though such a thing possible for the lady knight to fall from her steed, on of the most skillful cavaliers he had even laid eyes upon. "I see..." he replied in a quiet and low tone, clearly showing that he pierced through her facade. "Very well, I understand." The man on the contrary felt little need to lie to her, though he tried to keep himself vague and seemingly inpartial towards the subject. It did not need to grow into an arguement. "We will speak of it later..." The subject had been closed, the man looking back towards the dojo as he heard his name faintly called out. "Kodora...?" The man cupped his hand and moved forward. "Kodora?" he called out to her, his eyes glancing about.

Aislinn indeed had picked a terrible lie, at that. She had ridden almost from birth, about the same time Cleome had mysteriously appeared in the stables with a bow upon her and a note for Aislinn. The horse, had been a gift from her father. Since then, she had never fallen off Cleome..not unless dire circumstances. Even then, when she was thrown off Cleome, it seemed the horse plotted to do so. Like the first time her and Blue had met... Perhaps the horse planned it the whole time. It would not be past Cleome to do so...sneaky equine! She let out a soft breath, as Claudius' attention was pulled from her and he left her side. She, however, stayed outside, and walked a little ways from the dojo. Her trusty steed walking beside. The soft crunching of their promenade could be heard. "I...do not want to bother him with such a dark tale.." She told her oldest friend. Cleome whinnied, then snorted. "I know. It involves the truth. He will only worry though..."

Devaine_Hawk goes on, not allowing Tya the sword s spirit to stop him in his self practice . Even though it s clear he s no blade master, it s just as clear that he is used to being in combat him self . Every movement is crisp and swift . Never leaving him self too open to counter attacks even from his pretend foe, right now his own shadow . In time his movements take him to the edge of the clearing , where Storm Blossom s ken blade neatly trims a low hanging tree branch neatly into pieces even either the untrained swings he uses . Then he turns and repeats his path across the clearing to the other side , already the movements are cleaner and more precise than the first time across it . His photo graphic memory correcting some if not all of his mistakes , along with help from Storm Blossom her self as she coaches him in his mind . you must learn to counter and attack at the same time , not as different things or you will die the fool you are the first time you carry me into true battle you clout !!

[ClaudiusBlue ] A couple steps had been taken forward, although as Devaine swung his sword, his path seemed to alter and swerve in response out of caution. A moment to watch the man, deeper than just curious observation. "What...? he whispered, looking about the grounds as Aislinn led Cleome to the stables. "Interesting..." The plush tips of his finger twirled the end of his golden mustache, the man nodding a bit as he simply stood. With only a moment more to stay idle, Blue proceeded into the dojo and a slight nod to Devaine on his way inside, a hurried pace. Something had definately caught his attention.

Wildfire would be quietly walking through the the thick forest; luckily he didn't have to duck so much under branches and the like as he had taken the root... less traveled as he moved through the trees... making sure he didn't have to bend his form. He clearly left a trail in whatever snow his feet touched; a circle of heat from around his feet was what his tracks would be. . o O

Aislinn lowered her gaze, watching her boots push into the snow. Her violet eyes mirroring the frost. She sighed softly, her breath that thick fog. It swirled about her, caressing her cheeks. "I am having trouble hiding it. The whip marks ache badly..." She said low. They burned against the rough fabric of the tunic. Though even silk would feel uncomfortable to those wounds. Cleome snorted low, and she nodded gently. "Aye. This was worse. After the last, I had not thought it could have been..." She pressed her lips together, leaning against a tree. Her hands against the bark as she closed those purple gems tightly. The braid slipping down and a few stray curls falling infront of her beauteous facade.

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora She heard Benji's voice and would wal ktowqards it, which only lead her to the exit. " really i don't want to go there" she huphed in annoyance "BENJI!!!!" she called out again.

Devaine_Hawk in a trance , seems not to notice the nod or look, or any thing else for that matter . Still in his mind he berates him self right along with Tya the blade spirit . I will kill the demon will find her will do what ever it takes .. I will be good enough then he hears her thoughts on the subject . you will die your self, you thick skulled dim witted man unless you learn to wield me is only so much I can do to help your clumsy hands prevent it !! Even as he battles the blade spirit mentally, he continues to fought his own shadow physically with the sword , and every so often, though they are few and far between , there comes times when his attacks and countes mesh into fluid motions of a man who knows how to use a sword . But at those times if any one looks close enough, they can see that it is almost as if the blade wields the man instead of him wielding the blade . Then, as quick as they come those fleeting glimpses of skill are gone, replaced again by Dev s own still uns

[Devaine_Hawk ] unskilled swings and movements with the sword .

Devaine_Hawk was just letting every one know, so if you did it wouldn't look like he was munchieing out later , you know ?

[ClaudiusBlue ] The first step into the dojo had not been an easy one, his movement becoming quite rigid and slowed as he felt pulled into several directions: His beloved... Something had happened but what? Kodora, his niece... She had been sick and called to him now. This feeling he had... Something else pulled him inseide the dojo. All of it felt as if he had been clad in shackles, feet and arms weighted to the ground. "A moment! Just a single moment!" he shouted irritably, leaning against the frame of the dojo's entrance with a deep sigh to clear his mind. "Just a moment..." he repeated, looking back outside. Aislinn's footsteps had circle towards the other side, even though he could feel her presence just as easily as he could see her footprints. "Aislinn...?" The man left the doorway and moved towards the side, looking back over his shoulder. "I will be right there, my little Kodora! Do not worry!" Quickly did he pursue his beloved wife, only catching a glimpse of her aching form as he approached.

Aislinn stood there, one hand against the bark of the tree, the other had fallen to her side in a tight fist. So many emotions ran through her, all like a forest fire. Harsh, quick, hot. Overcoming her senses. She choked on the proverbial smoke and flame. "Why did you not.." She spoke hushed, before she heard footsteps in the snow. Quickly straightening, and placing up the facade. A smile plastered on her lips. "What is it? Were you not summoned? Should you not go tend to whomever needs you?"

Devaine_Hawk seems not to notice even as Blue rush past, calling to his wife . Lost in the movements of his awkward but still deeply focused battle practice , he continues to move about the clearing Any one watching , if they re perceptive enough can se past the not so fluid movements to find a man not afraid to take life or lose his own in them . The attacks come quick and brutal even if they are against thin air.

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she fell silent, and backed away slightly as she heard blue shout . she lowered her head a bit and turned away, walking back to the room she had been sleeping in. she flopped down onto the matress and curled up in the blankets " sorry" she said softly, almost like a whisper

[ClaudiusBlue ] Her question did little to detur him from keeping himself from her, a rapid succussion of his own footsteps sounding. The corners of his mouth also felt weighted down, the invisible shackles causing him to frown as he approached her. "Did they?" he said, his gaze never leaving her as he rocked to a halt beside her. The man took a couple of heavy puffs, his arms crossed over his chest as he stared into her frosty violet gems. "I think you need me... That is what I think." His foot tapped against the snow impatiently as he spoke to her. "This upsets me..." It was a straight statement. Blue felt little like playing games when it came to something that could possibly seen as a threat to him or his beloved.

[Van_Blayde ] Flash_Guardian> Ty........question though......... I'm very new to WebRPG chat...... is there any kind of rules a newbie should know?

Aislinn tried to look as if he did not know what he spoke of. "Come now, silly, I am fine. Please, go see who calls you. I shall still be about." Again, she went to trying to squirm out of speaking or even discussing this topic. She was desperately attempting to avoid it. Forcing her smile larger, as she stood even more straight. "Go on.."

Devaine_Hawk stops at last . Looking around he notices the tree he d sliced up, and the absence of all the others in the clearing now , as his mind clears from the combat induced haze it had went into while he practiced Quickly he opens his mind s eye to seems their auras, learning where they are that way . He finds Flash, Serrielle and one other not so familiar in the dojo. The he senses Blue and Aislinn over by the stables ,as well as a couple other unfamiliar auras at the edge of his awareness . Walking toward a hammock near the dojo, stretched between tow trees , he pulls a silk cloth from a pocket on his black jogging pants and wipes Strom Blossom s blade free of moisture before returning the sentient blade to her sheath on his back . Finished with that, he finds a medium sizes duffle bag near the hammock and pulls out a black swear shirt that matches the pants he wears, then pulls it over his head . Moving back toward the tree line he begins to collect kindling, and when he has enough he carries it back to

[Devaine_Hawk ] the fire pit near the center of the clearing out side the dojo. Placing a small pot over the pit , he pulls his Zippo from a pant pocket , and lights the fire, as he starts his morning pot of coffee .

[ClaudiusBlue ] As her false smile grew, his frown deepened in response. What she could be hiding from him could not possibly be as bad as lying to him, could it? The duke was not sure but still very displeased with this, his teeth gritting together a bit. He had little idea what to say to her in response, his mind a flurry of things to speak. "If that is what you want..." His voice had been pressed into a sort of low growl from an upset shout by the deft hands of the bard, the two working as a team to try and pull through this without incident. "Fine..." It was all he could have said without continuing without becoming her inquisitor, pivoting on his back heel before marching back to the dojo with his hand clasped in the small of his back. "I am coming Kodora!" he shouted, sounding a little angry. "I am coming..." A softer voice as he pushed himself into the dojo.

Aislinn watched him leave, and when he was out of sight, she fell against the tree. Her forehead pressing against the rough bark. A sigh harshly fell from her. "I...did not want to make you upset.." She whispered to herself. Cleome, snorted, giving Aislinn a disapproving look. "I realize... but how can I tell him? How does one say that? It has become...routine almost..." She murmered. The lady knight wouldn't lean back against the tree, always forward for the moment. Not allowing anything to touch her back. "Now I have made him cross with me. I am not wishing to lie..but..."

Wildfire would finally come across the Dojo... giving him quite the puzzled look. . o O He'd slide between two trees that were cumbersomely close together with a sight... before continuing to get close to the building. Odd how he walked to the center of the island of all places...

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she curled up a btit more in her blankets. not wanting Benji to find her now. She now knew he could be scary when he is angry

Serielle seems...distracted, suddenly. Her conversation with Flash had dropped off for a moment...and it seems her thoughts are split in two directions...what those directions are, however, are indiscernable.

Flash_Guardian has been sitting there, thinking only halfway as he stares into space, his eyes trained upon his love. At length, he arouses from his mental daze, shaking his head. He can see that Serielle's mind appears to be here and there, giving her a questioning look and another thought.

[ClaudiusBlue ] No response from his niece had reached him, the duke pacing furiously through the halls of the academy with arms straightened and shoulders high. It was no surprise that she did answer. With what mood he had entered, nobody would much feel like dealing with him. His path circled several times in one room, pacing like a tiger trapped in a cage, before he finally seated himself upon the ground. The wide brim of his hat hid his face from view, along with the layers of golden curls he possessed. Nor did he really wish to see anybody at the moment either, just brooding in his place. The man felt insulted, violated, provoked to this disposition. Both arms over his knee which would be pulled towards him, the man bowed his head and cursed. "Damn..."

[ClaudiusBlue ] *did not

Flash_Guardian just smiles back at his love, with a look of understanding as he squeezes her hand which still rests upon his knee, in one of the classrooms inside the Dojo where they both are sitting. He leans closer to her, bringing his lips to kiss her gently on the forehead before straightening and rising. He chooses to speak aloud now, as perhaps there is no further need for their private conversation to continue. A new look of confidence surrounds Flash's very being, as well as a commanding air. "I just remembered, I need to go run a quick errand at a nearby temple. You can come with me, or you can wait here, if you like. I won't be long."

Devaine_Hawk sits and watches the pot as it begins to boil . After a time he grows bored of that, and reaches too a pocket again, this time to pull out a small straight blade, used for shaving . Then he commences to do just that with it , sry shaving with out the benefit of either water and or a lather of any kind . But his is not a hand that shakes or jerks , and soon he has a clean close shave, as it would be , right about the time the coffee is done as well . Reaching for the pot, he stops his hand just short of it , this is good a time as any to find out if it was a fluke or some thin new my mind lets me do. he thinks . Then, instead of grabbing the pot, he waves his bare hand right through the flames .With quick waving motions at fist, then he lets his hand rest in the heart of the flame . In is mind he can hear the blade Storm Blossom call out angrily to him what are you doing you simpleton?!?!?! Tya screams at him mentally. His left eye glows the familiar almost neon electric blue as he

Aislinn shook it off for the moment, standing tall, looking to Cleome. The fire returned, melting the ice in her eyes for the moment. Showing her strength, her courage. The lioness . She would not have simpered, not for the likes of them. Not before. And now, there was nothing to be shamed of. The marks, would prove as much. She wore them with a twisted sort of pride, even if she was hiding them still. Though, for now, she did not sit or lean...just standing there. Her chin tilted, her gaze lifting. The regality flowing from her, her nature. "It will be fine. It will." She nodded, looking to Cleome.

[Devaine_Hawk ] he focuses , and a smile plays across his lisp even though his hand is still in the center of the flame . For several long seconds he leaves it there not flinching as he stares at it , I was right . It works just like raising my body temperature to ignore the cold over matter I don t mind the apin or even wounds don t matter least for a little while !! he thinks as he quickly yanks his hand back now . Looking at it now he sees that even with the amount of time he left it in the flame , it has just begin to turn red, burnt on the surface of his skin, first degree at most, but no where as bad as it should be / now that s a trick that could come in real handy in a fight. he begins to think, before it s interrupted by a mental scorn from Storm Blossom on his back in her sheath. you are insane!! You had no idea if that technique worst or not!! That thinking will lead to your death in battle against the demon if you persist in it!! she warns him mentally/ Dev just shru

[Devaine_Hawk ] shrugs his shoulders as he reaches for the coffee pot it self this time . maybe s a chance I ll take or maybe not that s another chance I ll take I guess he replies to the sound of Tya s spirit in his mind

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she sighed softly and stood p again, holding the blanket about her. she would shuffle her way towards Blue. She stood in the doorway, wraped up in warm blankets. "u..uncle .. ben..benji?" she asked softly in a soft trembling voice.

Flash_Guardian simply shakes his head, deciding to leave his love for the moment. He truly would only be a moment or two. He turns now to face an empty space in the room, squaring his feet apart and placing his hands in front of him, relaxed and balanced. He moves his hands in elaborate circular patterns, ending in a violent forward thrust and a tiny flare of yellow luminescence. He sticks his hands into the epicenter of the small speck of light, pushing out against its invisible boundaries until it becomes a swirling circular vortex of respectable size, a maelstrom of yellow and gold energy. Springing off of his powerful legs, Flash hurls himself headfirst into the portal and disappears.

Wildfire would quietly approach the building... a bit weary of it's existance. He'd run a hand along one of the walls as he walked beside it, calmly looking for an entrance or something. After a while... *GASP AND SURPRISE!* He'd find one.

Kade trudges through fallen snow as he stalks across the island on his way to Flash's Dojo. He was lost in his own thoughts again as he walked, hardly paying attention to anything but that which is right under his feet.

[ClaudiusBlue ] "Kodora?" A muffle voice sounded from the man's deep sleeves, hidden from her view. "Yes, my niece?" The man sounded tired now, a little drained, not physically as mucha as mentally.

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she smiled a bit and shuffled closer to him "why ..are you mad?" she asked softly, her tiger ears flicking about to try and make him smile.

Devaine_Hawk pulls a pack of smokes , and his Zippo from a pant pocket, and lights up. Alternating between sips of his coffee and draws off the smoke, he sits and stares at the fire under the pot , he seems lost in thought again . His left eye glows again as his psychic senses note Flash s departure, and Kade as well as another aura not so familiar arrival near by .

[ClaudiusBlue ] A heavy sigh passed his lips as she asked, the man now looking up to her. "It is nothing. I am just feeling a little tired... That is all."

Flash_Guardian soon returns, stepping back out of a similar looking portal in the central arena, bearing a large burlap sack filled with many objects. The bag clinks noisily as he carefully sets it down upon the ground, making haste to the western wing of the dojo, where many things are currently being stored.

Devaine_Hawk might or might not be back on tomorrow night , power is still an iffy thing here in northern KY !!

Wildfire 's ears flick up. . o O The fox would quickly turn around, after getting a good look at a room inside the building. He'd consider coming back at some point... perhaps the frolic through the woods wouldn't be so toughicult next time.

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she nodded and walked up to him, snuggling into his lap " i'm sorry if i made you mad" she said softly, nuzzling her soft ears agaisnt his collar bone.

Kade finally looks up when he reaches the Dojo and takes a moment to look over the surrounding area. The last few times he'd been here, there had been quite an uproar going on, though now it seemed calm.

Flash_Guardian quickly finds what he is looking for without too much difficulty ... a large brass gong resting against the far wall, long since forgotten by many. But not by Flash. He moves over to it, looking it up and down carefully and noting its state of neglect. Dust had settled upon it, being stored here for so long. He brushes some of it off with a hand lightly, catching sight of his reflection in it's surface. He stares at it for a moment, straightening up and doing his best to look proud and commanding, nodding once just for the effect.

[ClaudiusBlue ] One arm lifted as she approached him before placing it over her shoulder, lightly shaking his head. "No, no... You did nothing of the sort, my precious Kodora. Like I had said, it is nothing you should be concerned about." The man had resisted in the past but found that the velvety tips of his fingers scratched just behind her ear. "No need to worry."

Kade enters the Dojo and shortly thereafter finds Flash posing in the arena. This brings a smale smile to his lips before he 'wolf' whistles at Flash, "Hey good lookin'.....".

Flash_Guardian finds his contemplative staring interrupted by a whistle, quickly looking over his shoulder to find Kade standing in the doorway to the western wing from the arena, smiling. "Kade!" he cries happily. "Haven't seen you around in a while. Welcome back." Not wanting to stray too far from his task, Flash quickly looks to some other supplies nearby, from which he takes some things: two fifty foot lengths of rope slung over each shoulder, a large, stout stick with one of its ends padded tucked into his belt, and an armload of wide wooden planks, six in all. Taking these things, he starts heading back to the training room to set them all in a pile next to the bag, but stops and waits for Kade to move out of the doorway. "'Scuse me," he cheerfully pardons himself and his wide load.

Aislinn found her shoulders slumping again, her gaze travelling to the snow. She heard the sound...the cracking. Ringing through the air. It made her jump, her body twitch. Tears coming into her eyes. Her hands closing into fists all the more. "Why did you forsake me? Why do you forskae me always when I need you the most?" She murmered to what seemed nothing. Cleome, however, snorted, eyeing the bracer carefully.

Kade nods before he steps to one side. As Flash passes by he glances over the items he seems to be carrying with him, "Need a hand there Flash, with whatever the hell it is you're doing now?"

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she squinted her eyes happily, a small smile playing amoungst her lips, and finnaly a loud purring could be heard, a slight bit of droll rolling down the conor of her mouth.[ gah sorry distracted. reading a online comic.]

Flash_Guardian nods, the offer of help bringing back fond memories. Though the dojo had been finished, it seems there was one key thing missing ... something that will be added in short order. "Sure, Kade," Flash says, scooting sideways through the doorway to set his items down at the training floor's center. "Just like old times. Grab a hammer and ... two dozen nails, if you wouldn't mind." Flash has a sly grin, mumbling something mischievous under his breath now that his back is turned to Kade. "Hope you don't mind heights ..."

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she sighed softly " uncle Blue. Howcome i havn't met aislynn?" she asked softly.

Kade returns, and moves to find the items that Flash asked him to get. It takes him a little time to collect the hamer and the nails, but is soon returning to Flash with them. "Alright, what next?"

[ClaudiusBlue ] The soft rumbling sounding from his niece's throat caused his distressed expression to wane, a small smile replacing it instead. "Have you not?" asked the duke, looking down to her now. "That is strange... Is this true?"

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she nod softly : " i'm.. not sure if i want to meet her though" she sadi softly. she wouldn't say. but the fact to see any woman near a man she cared about just.. angered her somehow. .

Aislinn lowered her gaze, more so, to finally close her eyes. Allowing those long golden red lashes to hold back her tears. She did not wish their release. She laughed, sadly, almost triumphantly somehow. Her voice soft, whispering, as she spoke to her closest companion. "You would have been proud. I did not cry out this time...not once. I will not give them satisfaction. I will got give him just joy."

[Aislinn ] *just=such

Flash_Guardian nods, throwing the stuff down into a small pile and dusting off his hands. "Sit tight for a moment. I'll be right back." Flash quickly trots into the west wing once more, turning the corner and moving out of sight. There is a brief pause, accompanied by a brief flash of magic from somewhere inside the west wing. Shortly afterward, Flash appears in the doorway again, backing his way slowly out of the side room with both hands out in front of him, gesturing steadily to the gong as he levitates it slowly into the training room. His progress is slow due to his focus, but he eventually brings it to the room's center, setting it carefully down upon the ground. "Okay," he says, taking a quick breath. "Now we can begin."

Kade nods slowly as he watches Flash do his magic trick and bring the gong out into the center of the room, "Isn't that the thing you made to protect this place?"

[ClaudiusBlue ] Her question had stilled his fingers, the scratching comging to a halt as she asked. "Why is that, my niece?" The bard scooted back in his position a little bit, pushing Kodora slightly away from his embrace to see her face, trying to understand what she meant by the comment. He could only wonder...

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she sighed :" i just dont' like girls. none of them." she said flatly " i don't like it when they area around people i care about" she sighed softly turning her head away " i get jelouse.. and nagry.. i don't like ladies at all"

Cassandra enters the island again this young lady sighed looking around for anyway she trusted no one and doubted she ever would alduts were evil only childrin she would trust they still held a sence of innocence she blinked at the momant she let her hair flow one eye coved she was wearing a black tunic black baggys and white sandels she looked left and right then begins to walk along the beach

Flash_Guardian nods, quickly turning his magical attention to the pile of boards nearby. "Yyyup." A hand moves, lifting upward, and with it lifts the boards, moving up higher and higher through the network of rafters that support the roof above. "But it's not going to be any use if it stays in the west wing collecting more dust, will it now?" he jokes. Up near the very top, level with the uppermost layer of support arches, Flash gestures the boards to one side, resting them upon a pair of support beams.

Aislinn opened her gaze, the song of the blade unsheathing rang in the crisp cold air. Pressing the flat of the blade to her forehead first, then down to a stance. If it had been a fight....if only... She sighed in lamentation, resheathing Soillse dubhailt. Her slender hand found its way to Cleome's mane, and she leaned against her friend. Both becoming quiet in the falling snow. No words needed to be spoken between them for the time.

Kade cranes his neck backwards as he watches the raw materials begin to float up into the rafters. "Not so sure about that Flash, you could have set up your own Gong Show or something..."

PhorenNarqu walked to the island, amongst the snow. Something he had not seen for a long time. And brought a little smile to his face. He liked the winter. War stopped in winter. But he was bitter, right at the moment, for an obvious reason. So he walked, watching the snow fall, with goosebumps on his bare chest from the cold. He had foregone a cloak today, for some reason, also, and bore no weapons. Something he'd been doing a lot lately. And he would walk, straight to the clearing, and stand there, looking around, to see who was there and who was not

[ClaudiusBlue ] A small grin came across his face as she spoke of her territorial nature, a soft chuckle following just after that happy look. "My dear Kodora..." started the duke, that same grin on his face. "I can assure you that she is not the lady you must be thinking of." If anything, Blue had seemed to be more the lady in his marriage, although perhaps a lot could have changed since then. "I do not want you to be consumed with envy. I think you should meet her personally." With that said, the bard started to push himself to his feet, the digits of his silverplated gauntlet digging into the wall as he rose.

Cassandra made her way though the forest her sences alert ready to attack at any momant she blinked not hearing any sound she heaed back to the bulidin she had seen first time she came here she would breath hard as she blinked noded and hasted her pace to the bulidin

Flash_Guardian chuckles idly at Kade's remark, giving him that same mischievous look he had used in his earlier comment. "You want a show, huh?" Flash quickly jabs his foot under the coil of rope beside him, kicking it up at Kade in a manner that would be easy to catch. Another quick ducking movement scoops up the other rope next to Flash, this time offering it to Kade. "Hang onto these, will you?"

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she nodded and helped him up, reaching up for his hand, holding the wrapped blanketa around herwith the other " uncle Blue. Ilove you." she nuzzled his hand agaisnt her cheeks, purring softly

Kade frowns a little as he catches a hold of the rope that Flash sends flying his way. He seems more then a little weary of just what could happen, "Flash, do I even want to know what you're planning with all this rope? I didn't think you'd be the type to go in for that sort of thing..."

Aislinn stood outside, both rider and horse looking to the snow that fell freely upon them. It did not seem to make her cold, yet as soon as it touched her, the snow melted. Even under each step it had melted slightly. Nothing too drastic to notice, unless watched carefully.

Cassandra frowns they were here adults she got in to a fighting stand and shouted so any could here "grown up scum come here so you can die by the great cassandra" she said the other confidant arragont girl was showing again

Flash_Guardian glares in a mock menacing way at Kade. "Just for that ..." he says, holding out a hand in Kade's direction and bringing his focus upon him. In short order, Kade would feel Flash's levitation magic start to work upon him. A hand gesture that isn't quite so gentle is given as Flash attempts to fling Kade roughly into the air overhead, though not in any danger.

PhorenNarqu ignored the girl, and kept his gaze locked away from Aislinn. He couldn't bear to see her. Not with the thoughts running through his head of what she and Blue would no doubt have done on their wedding night. A thought that made him want to cry. But he kept his pain baled up inside of him, along with his rage, again. He was starting to get an ulcer from it all. But he would walk to the door of the south wing, and enter inside the Dojo

Serielle 's ear perks at Cassandra's call... he had taken some time in responding...and this was enough to slightly distract her from her current thoughts. This...is exactly what I'm talking about , she thinks, to no one, for once this evening. A portion of her mind remaining focused on her...connection..., she exits the class room, using the sound of Cassandra's voice to locate her.

[ClaudiusBlue ] The sharp clip-clop of his boots sounded down the halls once more, this time with the man not in a horrible temper. "I love you too, little Kodora." A wide smile had graced his face, the cause of his moody disposition seemingly forgotten for the time being. Blue nodded to the pair hard at work within the west wing of the dojo as he passed, proceeding to the southern wing towards the front entrance. "But I wonder..." This was posed to himself in a quite voice, barely audidle to even himself. Aislinn had not entered the dojo yet, the memory of why he had been tossed into a fury starting to become clear once more. Was it something about him that made her stay in the cold? Could it be something else that she had not told him? His worry returned, but did not show upon his face as he exited the grounds. Phoren would not even recieve the faintest sign of acknowledgement from Blue, completely ignored as he passed by. "Aislinn?" he called out, stepping in the snow once more.

Kade blinks as he feels himself first lifted and then flung up into the air above Flash, "What the f..Ack! Flash, get me the hell down, now!"

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she looked to phoren then back toBlue "Hold on a second ok uncle?" she slipped her hand from his grip and walked slowly towards Phoren, giving a soft , tierd smile.

Cassandra stood in her fighting stand the young girl waited for her fight fighter she closed her eyes calming herself knowing she was strongest when relexed operning her eyes again she shouted "Are none of your pathic adults brave enought where is your hourner now come out and FIGHT" she shouted angrly

PhorenNarqu smiled back at the little girl, but had his fists clenched. The desire to tear and rend swelling up at him at the sight of Claudius. But he balled it all up again, and shoved it deep inside, until he unclenched his fists. "You look familiar, little one."

Aislinn looked up, shaken from her nightmare of a daydream, eyes darting if/when Blue came around the building to where she and Cleome stood. Worry entered her, and she darted her eyes to the horse. Was he still mad? She also now heard someone yelling, but paid it little heed for now. She would not cut down a child... where was the honor in that, either?

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she nodded : " i.. i just wanted to say sorry" she said softly, digging the tip of her toe into the ground a bit .

Serielle finally arrives within sight of the girl. She shakes her head, platinum lockes shimmering with every movement. "Young Lady...there is no honor in blindly seeking battle..." she replies sagely, her voice calm and clear.

[PhorenNarqu ] "For?"

Flash_Guardian is laughing merrily now, easily bringing Kade's reckless ascent into a more controlled lift. "But you said you'd help!" Flash argues, his words punctuated by bright laughter as he continues to lift Kade all the way up to the place where he had set the boards, maneuvering his feet over towards one of the sturdy yet narrow beams on which the boards now rest, allowing him to regain his footing ... though not yet taking his magic influence off of him, just as a safety precaution. "Great! So, Kade ... seeing as you're already up there, would you be a dear and hammer those boards into place for me? Just enough to make a small platform to stand on? Thank you so much," he says all too sweetly, not waiting for Kade to actually answer him. He just stands there, grinning and keeping a firm hold on Kade with his spell.

[Little_Half~Breed_Kodora ] " being so mean" she said softly, her eyes lookwing at her feet.

[PhorenNarqu ] "When were you mean?"

Kade growls softly and hefts the hammer he's brought up with him. For a moment he ponders how hard it'd be to hit Flash from here.

Cassandra smirks "arrr so you will be the first to die not get ready to prepre yourself you get this one chance" she said now unsethering her katana it was smaller than most becase she was so young but still she stood still and ready to battel narrowing her eyes

Flash_Guardian can see that Kade seems to have gotten his feet, so he slowly lets his magic loose, dropping his hand. "If it'd make you feel any more secure, you can always tie yourself to one of the beams. You do have the rope for it, after all. Just make sure I can still use the rope when you're done. I have plans for it." He turns now, heading back into the west wing one last time. "Be right back."

[Little_Half~Breed_Kodora ] " when i last met you. i can't remmerb waht i did. but i know i wwas a bit of a bitch and all" she said flatly ".. why are you so mad at uncle benji?" she asked softly, looking back up at him with watery roudn eyes.

[Cassandra ] now*

[ClaudiusBlue ] The anger had seemed to have subsided from him by now, a moment to think and relax all he needed to allow to partake of a better disposition, although she would be able to sense his concern as he approached her. Aislinn..." Only two more steps, one foot before the other. Now he stood before her, looking deeply and only to her violet gaze. "Aislinn..." her husband repeated to build up what resolve he could to address her. "I...I am sorry if I seemed to harsh... It was not my intention to act in the manner that I had." His form became a bit looser as he admitted this, his head bowed low. "I know you do not deserve such treatment from somebody as I... Such undeserving treatment. I did not wish to offend you..."

[PhorenNarqu ] "No reason... At least, not one you would understand."

Aislinn shook her head gently, a few of the red curls falling across her cheeks. The flames licking her creamy skin. "Nay...I thought I had made you so upset at me. I am sorry... I just did not want to concern you, or make you worry further." Her slender hands rose, to stroke his cheeks and hold them gently in her grasp.

Serielle shakes her head once more, brushing a stray strand of hair from her eyes, whispering something under her breath, a short incantation of some sort...and an odd gimmer seems to pass over her quickly...

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she nodded softly " well.. i should go.. unless you want to stay and talk or something" she said softly, giving abit of a cough, thoug hher cold almost seemed to clear up within the last few hours.

Kade shakes his head as he starts to mutter various curses about Flash and his parentage as he sets to work, hammering the boards into place with brutal blows.

[PhorenNarqu ] "Yes, you go with your 'uncle Benji.' As you so call him."

Cassandra blinked nervisly she hated magic she was usless against it she left magic up to her friend Alison she blinked looking around she bit her lip "what what are you doing " inraged she charged at her with all her speed and forse

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she looked at him oddly : " why ... do you sound so hatefull towards him?" she asked softly " he is nicet ome. the kindest person i ever knew, besides uncle flash,.. and jesty.. i miss jesty" she sighed softly, lifting a hand to fee laround ehr neck : " i mmiss him alot" she nodded.

[PhorenNarqu ] "You wouldn't understand. Now run along."

Serielle simply waits, standing perfectly still as the foolhardy girl rushes her...simply waiting...

Flash_Guardian returns shortly, whistling merrily with a long 4x4 beam held on his shoulder. He carries it out into the arena, glancing up casually to see how Kade is doing. Upon reaching the center, Flash stops and concentrates ... and soon he too begins to rise up into the air, heading up to the platform which is being assembled swiftly by Kade's hand. "Doing great, Kade! Keep it up!" Flash calls to the man encouragingly.

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she nodded again and waved to him " byebye" she turned her bac kland walked to Benjimen. "Uncle benji?" she asked softly, gently tuggin gat his shirt

Cassandra growls and slashers down on the woman putting all her might heatread and streach in to the one hit breathing hard

[ClaudiusBlue ] A smile was manages as she carressed his pale cheek, a wonderful feeling of warmth starting to fill him. "I know, dear. I know... I do not want to worry about this if that is what you would wish. Clearly, it is not my place to know such things." Although he did speak as if he were dissapointed not to be included, the man only wished for what was best for her. If she did not wish him to know, he would simply mind his own business until she decided him to be fit. "I will not ask again..." A soft kiss was applied to her cheek, his lips warm to the touch. Only then did Kodore come up from behind and tug on his long blue overcoat, drawing his attention from Aislinn only a moment. "Yes, my niece?" he asked her with a smile.

Kade quickly finishes his work before glancing over at Flash when he also hovers up into place, "I hate magic, you know that?"

[ClaudiusBlue ] *Kodora

Serielle , as the girl's blade nears her flesh, vanishes with a flash, appearing no more than a few steps back, the same expression of serene, yet disdainful wisdom upon her face. Awaiting the young woman's next move, she wags her finger in a distinct fashion, a hardly audible "Tsk, tsk." emanating from her lips.

Alison flys in happly doing loop the loop in the air and giveing her usal COCKADOLDODO in the air as she made flashers all around the island and bangs then she flys to down lookinf for any one she knows happly as she lands

Aislinn seemed slightly glad for the distraction. As he may have gone to hug her, then it may have given her away a little more. The less, the better. Though she frowned a little at some of his words, feeling guilty. How could she tell him? Especially since this had not been the first time.. Her violet eyes looked down after some time, to who had tugged on her husband's overcoat.

Flash_Guardian catches sight and sounds of a commotion outside through the arches that support the roof as he rises, abruptly bringing his rise to a halt and turning to watch curiously. His eyes go wide as he sees Serielle involved in the conflict, as well as the foolhardy young woman from the other day. His jaw hangs slack, waiting to see the outcome ... only to see Serielle whisk away to safety at the last moment. He breathes an audible sigh of relief before quickly continuing up the rest of the way. "Really? You never mentioned that before." Flash rises to a spot just above Kade, grabbing the beam and resting it over the platform sturdily, shifting it into place until he feels satisfied. "There. That should do."

Cassandra growled becoming more and more enraged by the womans mokeing she smirked she was now angry enoth she put her blade away running at the woman her fist was turning red she was perper one of her strongest moves fist of rage shot at the oppents gut like a bullet and had the streat of 100 men

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she yawned teirdly and rubbed her eyes a bit " uncle benji" she said softly " where is flash i need ot talk to him" she said softly.

Kade shrugs a little, and takes a moment to double check his handiwork. Makeing sure that what he's built is secure, "Its like onions Flash, some people like them, others don't. No need to advertise it."

Serielle had easily perceived Cassandra's intention to now attempt conflict through unarmed combat, as she resheathed her blade upon the approach. Her second contingency activates, this time placing her a few steps behind the girl, the same bright but brief flash of light emitting from the space she had previously occupied. "Are you quite finished with your foolish shenanigans, girl?"

Alison landed on the roof of the dojo to see Cass fighting with one of her mothers friends she tilted her head knowing cass was fighting a loser batter and since this woman could probely take them both on any anyway she flys down to help cass "hey there lets have some fun" she said happly facing her mothers friend in a fighting stand with a happy face

Flash_Guardian nods, considering Kade's words ... but his attention seems to have been drawn outside at the moment to the growing conflict. "I'll remember that. That's a good way to look at it. Errr ... be right back." Without perhaps thinking about things first, Flash folds his arms about himself quickly winking out of existence ...

Cassandra breathing hard from that attack thinking of giving up when the lady spoke to her but then the voice of her angel friend gave her new hope she turend arond "Ali you sure took ya time no matter lets take this woman shes stong so we gonna have to be smart" she said now retakeing a battle stand

Kade blinks as Flash disapears, "Hey, wait! How do I get down!"

[ClaudiusBlue ] It could still be felt, a wall between him and his beloved still keeping him from finding out what was wrong. "Flash?" The man decided not to focus upon the wall for now, placing both knees in the snow as he addressed Kodora. "I believe he is working within the westen wing of the institution..." His mismatched pair glided back to Aislinn, that same grin still there. "Kodora, this is my wife, Aislinn."

[Flash_Guardian ] Suddenly, up in the air behind Alison and Cassandra, another figure springs into being, his red cape billowing in the air behind him as he seems to almost float down to the ground, landing with an audible thump in a crouching position. Slowly, he rises into a combat ready stance, having the other two combatants pinned now between Flash and Serielle. "Is there a problem?" he asks calmly, looking to the other battle participants judgingly.

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she nodded to aislyn and ran towards teh west wing, crying softly "FLASH?!" she clled out.

Serielle groans, shaking her head once more...a motion she seemed to be making far too often this evening. "You have got to be kidding me. Enough is enough. You," she states simply, finger extended at Cassandra, "Will leave immediately. In addition, you will not be coming back. This place will be infused with pointless, foolish chaos no longer."

Alison blinked gulping "ok cass were even 2 for 2 il errr take the lady il leave flash to you" she said in a would be calm voice now unshething her holy sword her back on Cass back now smiling again to Serielle "and dont talk to cass like that again "she said now growling at the woman

Wolf_Acota shimmered into the area where a apparent battle was taking place, his wings spread as the giant lycan archangel pointed at the combatants his spear shimmering in his outstretched hand, the lord of spears the angellicus in its 10ft white splendor, he laughed as he drew in some energy while he linked with god, his eyes turned white and the ground beneath him cracked, tendrils of lightning arched from his body, and the blades of grass repeled away from a unseen force, he was smiling a sadistic grin, his left hand formed a ball of light, and he spun his spear, it hummed low as it sliced through the very air, he was praying as he was once again drawing all the light he could in this form

Cassandra sighed looking at the man she begins to breath hard she was scared of them "thanks a lot Ali" she said with a frown now faceing flash she took a fighting stand and waited for Ali command to attack she did not know the fighters here were so good

Flash_Guardian looks to Alison. "Unfortunately, I'm afraid I agree with Serielle," he says, looking now to Cassandra in a most distasteful manner. "You have brought violence into our sanctuary. Please leave now, or I will force you to leave." Flash stands tall and menacing, staring down Cassandra, arms held to his sides firmly, awaiting what would come.

[ClaudiusBlue ] The presence of another angel soon could be felt, a familiar feeling of the divine. Was it Alison? No... The duke turned his grin into a deep set frown as he turned back toward the dojo. "What is this...?" a sort of deep growl as he gazed. It was Alison alright, drawing a sword on Flash and Serielle even. Both of his hand became clenched as he watched this, taking a few steps forward. "Alison!" he shouted, a harsh glare from her adopted father. "You draw your weapons on Sir Flash and Lady Serielle?!" His temper started to flare again, the scratching of metal against metal, more of an actually screech as he rubs two silver fingers together.

Alison gulps the game was over she had upset mr flash "ummm me sorry mr flash" she said as she shethed her blade looking to the floor now seeming as she was going to cry biteing her lip sadly

PhorenNarqu stepped back outside, a heavy mantle made from the pelt of a wolf draped from his shoulders. He kept it in a corner. He moved towards the two girls, and if he got close enough, would rest a hand on each of their shoulders "Right. I think that is quite enough."

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she watched flash from a distance " flash.. i need you"she said softly : " i need jesty" she pouted a bit, runnign her finger tips over her neck where her collar once lay.

Cassandra could not belive it "Ali you let adults push you about why adults deseve no respect you of all should know how evil they are" she blinked not beliving her friend was backing down she growled at flash "well i wont be beating like that! she said now narrowing her eyes

Serielle snarls at the pair of girls, her foul mood getting ever worse. "Wonderful. Now a minor annoyance has once more developed into a situation involving far more combatants than necessary. I want you gone, now ," she hisses, her gaze leveled upon Cassandra. "You have no place here. As for you," she continues, looking to Alison "Are quite fortunate in your ties to Aislinn, as, otherwise, I would in no way hesitate to insist the same of you."

Flash_Guardian glances around, seeing another nearby who seems to be powering up an attack. In response, Flash gathers both hands at the center of his chest, palms facing each other as he gathers a bit of preparatory magic. Just in case for some reason this fight wasn't over, as much as he wished it was. A small ball of bright white light begins to glow between his hands brightly, just waiting to find its purpose.

Wolf_Acota noticed alison, she may not remember him but he had freed her from a slaver a long while ago, he had his spear drawn as he aproached the mob, the archangel brought it over his shoulder casually, he never released his power as he laughed abit, he was ready to fight but this seemed to be unworth opponents...and any way they looked at it he was prepared to protect alison, he stood behind her as his wings protectively spread, he looked down on alison, "what is the problem miss..." his white eyes scanning the people warily

[Flash_Guardian ] "Again, I ask everybody to put your weapons away! There will be no blood spilled in this pointless endeavor, even if I have to see to such personally!"

Cassandra blinked and ran off in to the forsest she would not leave this island she would hide for now she hateded grown ups so much and they had even got to her friend she would make them pay she ran as fast as she could in the forst

Aislinn had given Kodora a smile, gazing down at her. "A pleasure to meet you Ko-" She sighed as the girl ran off, just giving her a nod. A frown took her lips. Had she done something wrong? Though as Blue began to storm away, she looked confused and soon followed. What she found, sank her heart, and the fires in her rose. "Alison?! What is the meaning of this?" She demanded.

Alison seeing cass run off bit her lip unhapply knowing she was going to be punished she just sat down ignoring Acota and begins to cry her eyes out now so upset and when she hurd her mothers voice she begins to cry again taking in sobs "i i i was only playing" she said still crying

Aislinn was not swayed by crocodile tears for now. She was not being unreasonable in the least, nor cruel. She knew that. The fiery red headed lady approached the little girl. "You do not play with a sword. They are not toys. Do you understand? They take away lives. They hurt people. This is not a game."

Serielle is taken by an expression of outright frustration. "Playing?! You were only playing !? Are you fully and completely insane, girl? Do you have no understanding whatsoever of what it means to attack a person!?" she roars, her voice shaking the earth around them. She was angry. If the target of her anger had not been a child...it would have been bad. Very. Bad.

Wolf_Acota looked at flash in untrust, he touched his cross lightly as he connected to god telepathically, father...i need all data on these people, his eyes turned to each person in turn as he collected the data in the deep angellic recesses of his mind, i see, then they all walk in the light... he spun his spear and it shimmered away reapearing on his back as he bowed releasing his power and link to god, "i am sorry lord Flash..." he turned to serielle, "lady serielle.." he took a step back now as he stared with his golden eyes quietly

Flash_Guardian , seeing that things seem to have calmed down to a reasonable point once more, lets his gathered magical energy fade back to whence it came, letting out an audible sigh of relief. He nods to Serielle dutifully, smiling appreciatively at how she had handled the situation. "You all have my thanks for not having to enforce the right of sanctuary that governs this place. Now, if you'll excuse me," Flash says, hurriedly making his way back into the dojo, "I left somebody high and dry just now." As he practically leaps through the front entrance, he cups his hands and shouts, " Coming, Kade! "

[ClaudiusBlue ] The duke did not quite know what to think of Alison at this point, nor had he really ever had a grasp on her fickle behavior and apparent innocence. Though her sobbing would have instilled compassion in those who were to bare witness to her, the man felt something closer to pity. There was not much affection between the two, more of a rivalry instead. His own glare narrowed as she cried, the bard looking away from her with a sort of snort. "Flash, Serielle. I apolgize for this..." A deep bow was offered to them both, the man keeping himself low until they replied out of respect. This was embarressing...

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she sighedsoftly. shenever got to be with flash anymore .she never got to have one word with him. she lowered her head, tears rolling down her cheeks,. she woudl walk back to benji. " i miss you flash.." she said softly.

Alison still crying she said "but cass said attack grown ups was not bad they could take it its a game she said" she looked upseet still not understanding while evey one was so mad biting her lip crying

Kade mutters to himself ashe hears Flash, "Gonna nail him to the floor.......... Don't worry Flash, I'm just hanging around up here. "

Aislinn rubbed her face. She was weary already, and this was not helping much. "Alison, you are ten years of age. You are not five. Attacking anyone is bad. You do not listen to me, and I fear I cannot continue. How can I be a mother to you, when you treat me like an older sister? Should you think of me more like that now? Because this is ridiculous. I do not like to see you cry, but Alison, you should know a sword is no toy. It hurts. It kills. Is this what you wanted to do to my friends?!" She demanded.

Flash_Guardian calls back to the others in short, hasty replies. "Hey, don't worry about it, everybody. Smile!" A big flashy, overdramatized grin is given before he ducks inside, racing across the south wing to the central arena, leaping into the air and using his magic to propell him quickly up to where Kade rests on the platform. "Sorry! Sorry ..." Flash apologizes profusely. "Had a bit of a situation back there. It's all taken care of, though." Flash is panting lightly now at all this effort, landing upon the platform and hunching over, hands on his knees.

Serielle , in utter rage, slams her staff into the ground, causing a flash of lightning and thunder to streak across the sky.. This was utterly, utterly ridiculous. Hopefully, this would only serve to reinforce her advice to Flash. This was precisely the kind of nonsense she had grown tired of. "That girl...and her friend...will very likely get themselves killed with their idiocy someday. I suggest you prepare for her inevitable death sooner than later, Claudius, Aislinn," she states plainly. Her anger had taken her...and she wished to remain among them no longer. Ordinarily, she would never speak to Lady Aislinn in such a way...but circumstances had altered that.

Wolf_Acota was angry now as he entered cassandras mind, he had done so many times before and it was quite easy, he said to her telepathically, cassandra what will ronnie think if she hears that you indangered the life of a girl out of play, i am ashamed of you cassandra... he said in her mind, as his golden eyes starred cold at her

Cassandra stoped deep in the forest she was out of breath she had never ran so fast she fet gulity about leaving her only friend behind but was it not her who gave up to grown ups she sighed takeing her flask out drinking they sure where strrong here she cound not leave she wanted to but there was a reaon she stayed which confusedd even her but still she stayed

Aislinn 's fires looked to Serielle, at the tone the woman used on her. Indeed, she did not seem to appreciate it. Her head turned, no longer looking at the woman. Violet flames licked in her irises, no longer cold. The fire had taken her soul, and it just grew stronger. Had Devaine been there, he would have been amazed at what he saw in her aura now. A fist clentched and she just looked down at the girl that had begged her to be a mother for her a few weeks ago.

Cassandra looked down her crying stoped "mother i am sorry for my actions please tell me what can i do to make it better i will i am sorry i was led astrie" she looked down realizing how serioose it was the fact that she could lose the one thing she wanted and loves the most her mother broought her to her sencers

Kade nods as Flash appears again, "Glad to see you could make some time for me up here. Seems situations are getting quite common out here on the isles."

Flash_Guardian now peers over the edge of the platform, spying the gong far below. A hand reaches out to it, slowly lifting it from the ground and drawing it up to where Flash and Kade now reside on the platform, just wide enough for two. The gong continues to lift until at last coming to a stop just above the platform, beneath the hefty 4x4 beam overhead. "Got a knife handy?" Flash asks Kade quickly. "We'll need to cut some lengths of rope with which to hand the gong from the beam." As Kade speaks, Flash nods somberly. "I know," he tells Kade. "It's a matter that I will quickly be attending to. And this gong will be a good start."

Wolf_Acota watched everyone turn on alison and felt bad for her, he got down on one knee, his wings folding back and his eyes glowing warmly, he spoke to her, "alison im sorry...for what happened," he smiled as he placed a finger on her chin and lifted her gaze to meet his, "but chin up kid...your a angel remember that, be proud of that even if you have nothing else to look forward to..." he spread his wings now to show her what he ment

Aislinn 's eyes suddenly turned ice cold. They froze over completely. Something shut down in her, and a calculating look came over the woman. Something never before seen in her. "Go. You are not my daughter. I do not have one. I cannot continue this farce." She gestured to Acota. "He can help you more than I can."

[ClaudiusBlue ] No words were uttered in his daughter's defense, his form stil held low before Lady Serielle in a display of humility on the child's behalf. It was mortifying for him... Distasteful. The man slowly stood now, his gaze never landing back to the girl. "This displeases me to no end, little one..." said the duke in a strangely calm voice. "Aislinn...? What do you propose?" The bard eventually turned back to the pair and awaited judgement. If she would provide a punishment, Claudius would be glad to provide one instead.

Kade 's hand drifts down to the knift at his belt, but stops and then moves into a pocket and draws out a folding knife. He flicks open the section that has a saw attached, "Here you go. and I've been meaning to ask you about something, has there been any news....."

PhorenNarqu moved his hand to Aislinn's shoulder. "I will not let you do that. You adopted her. You must care for her. If you won't, I will, but I will not willingly do so. You will continue looking after her."

Alison just blinked hearing this and she walked off not aguing she just walked away in to thhe forest not walking anywere in genrl just walked her sword droped to the floor her walking was not nomal it was as though by a zomibe

Wolf_Acota heard her words and stood up speaking, "i could never care for a child, not with the assasins and hunting, i dont have time for a young child, so you must reconsider..." he said to aislinn, his gold eyes never changing

[ClaudiusBlue ] His attention snapped to Phoren now, the same look he had given Alison. "You will not order her what to do..." he growled, stepping forward. Two people he now had distaste for, both for their own reasons. "You may take care of her if you must, but do not give her orders..."

Flash_Guardian takes the knife eagerly, leaving the gong suspended there as he reaches for a section of rope. "Glyniss? Not a word." He sizes up the rope the way he wants it, and quickly moves to slice it into two shorter pieces. "That'll do. Now if we can splice the other two sections of rope together, and knot it, it should make for a decent climbing rope." That done, Flash moves to secure the gong, hanging it from the beam overhead with two secure knots.

[PhorenNarqu ] "Silence!"

Serielle , who had been ready to leave the room, stopped short at perceiving Phoren's ridiculous demand. Now she had someone to let out her anger on. She rather stomps towards him, her face in a fierce snarl that seemed to have no place on the face of such a girl.

Alison blinked as she had already reached the breach she sat there in the same spot she had sat the first time she came here and just cried not the whining she had done while she was back with the others but silent tears thaat now fell down her face uncontrolerbly

Aislinn sneered almost, smacking Phoren's hand away from her shoulder. Pain coarsing in her. "I have no time for this ridiculous behaviour." Something in her emotions pained her to say this. But, recently, something took hold of her. Besides the creature's control. Something in her also was scared. What she had been through, could be done to others she cared about. And a child, obviously, could not stand for themselves against what her own fate was. "Leave me be." She said dangerously. Turning on the group, her cloak whirling from her as she stalked back to where Cleome was awaiting.

Flash_Guardian pauses briefly, rolling his eyes as he hears heated words outside and sighing wearily. "It never ends, does it?"

[Serielle ] "You, sir, have no place barking out instructions to this women. Her business is none of yours."

Kade sighs as he takes the knife back, folds it shut, and slips it back where he's pulled it from. "Thats what I thought. I'd not been able to find track, scent, or trail of her. And that demon hasn't been seen....."

Flash_Guardian finishes the last knot quickly. "Don't worry. That demon'll be back. And we'll be ready for it. But first ... Kade, could you plug your ears, please? Tightly?" Flash pulls the stick with the cushioned end out from where it was tucked beneath his belt, grabbing it with both hands and looking fiercely at the gong.

Kade tilts his head to the side, and does as asked. He pulls a set of ear plugs from another pocket and fits them in place, "Been a while since I got a request like that....."

Alison now laying on the beach "you happy now you get all you ever wanted a home a mother and what do you do you thow it away" she blinked not having the power to look again she loved her mother without her she would go back to the empty shell she was when she first came here she would not allow it death would be better than the lonllyness she felt she could not bear to go thought it again

[ClaudiusBlue ] The duke watched his beloved march away in much the same mood he had been in, glancing back to Phoren once before turning himself. " Idiot... " he said under his breath while walking away. This place had started to chip away at his patience, every little thing compiling and eventually taking its toll upon him. "Hmph... The very idea..." he whispered to himself, marching slightly off the same path as Aislinn, giving himself and her some distance for the time being. This was incredibly taxing and fruitless...

Flash_Guardian wastes no time in drawing back and swinging. BOOONGGG!!! The gong rings out loud and clear across the entire island, grabbing the attention of everyone. BOOONGGG!!! The noise is loud enough to disrupt any conversations or arguments, drowning out all the harsh words. BOOONGGG!!! And then, at the third stroke, a powerful reaction begins, the gong glowing brightly with a powerful yellow ... this yellow force begins to streak outward from the Dojo, a powerful beacon of reassurance against any storm, and clearly seen from the top of the dojo even in the brightest of day ...

[PhorenNarqu ] "Fine. I will stay out of the business of the woman I am in love with, and for who I suffer. But I will not let an innocent child lose her family. Now be off. I am tired of you and your habits of threatening me."

PhorenNarqu winced at the loud noises of the gong, pain filling him through his sensitive ears. But he'd felt worse.

Kade , dispite his ear plugs, still covered his ears with his hands, wincing at being so close to so loud a noise, "Bloody freakin' hell."

Alison noded now a knife in her boot would do the job she looked at the blade a slight smile enering her face she had 2 options she could either kill herself endering this or live out her life in suffering loolness she noded putting the knife to her neck closing her eyes gettubg ready

[Flash_Guardian ] The reaction begins, yet Flash does not stop ringing. BOOONGGG!!! The light forms a sphere of yellowish translucence which grows larger and larger, sweeping over the dojo and the surrounding grounds, until at last a powerful field of force surrounds the entire clearing and all those within it, protecting this sanctuary with the sheer strength of magic. BOOONGGG!!! Flash continues to assail the gong until the effect he desires is at last achieved.

Serielle snorts at this. "You suffer for suffering's sake. How about you be off? You who harrasses the woman "he loves", who has no care for her, who is married, and would very likely want nothing to do with. You aren't wanted here."

Aislinn stormed to where Cleome was, ice soon melting to the lick of fire. She was not enthralled by any of it. Phoren, Serielle, Alison, even Claudius. Phoren's words, and his touch which just stung. Serielle's harsh words and manner. Alison..well, how she had been acting. Claudius... She sighed. She couldn't seem to stay even remotely upset at him. She loved him too much. But, everything else was taking its toll. The pain on her back screaming, and she feared it would soon leak through the bandaging. Blood.

[Flash_Guardian ] BOOONGGG!!! Again, and again the powerful sound rings out across the island ...

Wolf_Acota wolven ears perked up as he heard the conversation between the man he had identified as flash and another man, he saw the beam of light and decided they were finished with whatever project they were constructing, he shimmered to there location as looked at flash, a eyebrow raised, he said to him, "i overheard the talk of a demon, and i have decided to offer my assistance to repay the trouble i had brought to your island..." his wings spread lightly

PhorenNarqu looked at the ground. He had heard her words despite the gong. And he was gone. Running through the trees. Fine. He wasn't wanted here. His new life, his hope, he would leave behind. He would just curl up and die, since he had no future, if he were not welcome here, the foundation of his future.

Aislinn just looked annoyed, as she heard the loud ringing in her ears. Fire melting the snow around her too quickly. Violet flames out of control almost within her soul. It caused ths snow within five feet about her to melt away to nothing but water, in too quick a time. Her slender hands covered her face. She refused to let alone see the tears that were coming.

Flash_Guardian can't hear a word of Acora's over the gong, unfortunately. BOOONGGG!!! Again the sound rings out, calling to the inhabitants of the island.

Alison cut in to her neck letting out a screm off pain however the cut was not deep enoth to kill hher quickly she did not have the streach to case a seconded blow she just lay back and in the slowing beach allow herself to beed to death from the neck as blinding pain took over her

Wolf_Acota decided to enter his mind, he could not see any thoughts but could commute there, he repeated himself, his voice filling his head louder then any gong, i overheard the talk of a demon, and i have decided to offer my assistance to repay the trouble i had brought to your island

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora sdhe stayedo nthe beach. ignoring the gong. she looked to the sky, tears rolling down her cheeks. she looked to her palms and cupped them open; "noillib xis" she said softly, watching the light in her hands form : " i miss you jesty. i just hope you miss mee too, and watch over me" :she nodded osftly, watchign the star grow brighter,

[Flash_Guardian ] Meanwhile, the dojo and its inhabitants, I should add, have been trapped inside a powerful yellow bubble of magical force. If you were inside the dojo or clearing when that went up, I doubt you'll be able to leave except by magical means.

Kade 's head jerked up as Acota appeard, his hand quickly darting to his knife blade as he's surprised by the appearnce of another.

[Aislinn ] *alone=anyone... --;

Wolf_Acota the lycan looked at the belt knife with his golden eyes, his hand reached to his 10ft, white spear, he smiled a bit, the champion of light, archangel of war...killed by a belt knife? he thought to himself as he snickered, "i assure you, you will not have need of a weapon..."

PhorenNarqu has magick.

Alison breated slower and slower her heart beats getting weaker as the blood coming from her thoght did not stop she lay there dieing on the beach which was better to her living without the thing she cherished more than her life

Flash_Guardian at last ceases his ringing, seeing as nobody is coming and another wishes to speak with him. He seems slightly frustrated now, shaking his head. "I guess that's going to take some practice before people get used to it," he says, probably a bit louder than he needs to. He looks between Kade and the angel now, setting the stick aside. "I have my own plans for that demon, but any assistance you could render would be appreciated." Flash now glances down to the empty arena floor below him, disappointed. "Though I had hoped to discuss such matters with my friends ..."

Kade 's ears were still plugged, so Acota's assurances did little to stop him. He did glance over at Flash though to see what his reaction to this new arrival was.

Alison gathered what seemed to be the last of her power taklking in her mothers mind ~bye bye mummy in the next few minuts i will no longer be around to bug yiou ever again i love you night night mummy_

[Little_Half~Breed_Kodora ] " jesty. if your around. just give me a sign. i wish you could seeme now. another year older. not like anyone has noticed."she sighed softly, gently tossing the star up with both hands up into the sky " i guess that makes six billion and one huh?"

Wolf_Acota sighed as he said to the men, "will you excuse me," he bowed as he shimmered to appear beside alison, he kneeled down as his hands began to glow bright white, he prayed and began to close the wound, allowing her to pass out as he healed her, he left a ball of light near her body to keep her warmer then the biggest campfire, and it would ward off lesser evil, so she could sleep peacefully, he shimmered back to the men, "im sorry"

Kade reaches up with his free hand and pulls the plugs, "Flash, who the hell is that?"

[ClaudiusBlue ] So many sounds had reached his keen ears: The sound of the gong, the gurgling scream of the young angel, and now the weeping of his love... Every moment that passed seemed bitter-sweet, the gong making him wish to rejoice while the sounds of suffering kept him from it. There she was, acting so strong for everybody... No, she was strong. It was no act. The image of watching tears cascade down Aislinn's perfect face caused a stir of depressing emotions, sadness... What was he to do? She did not want him near her, but how she cried. It was not a hard decision for him to make, the man slowly walking towards her as if treading on thin ice. He was quiet, unannounced. "Dear heart...?" he whispered to her, keeping himself silent after that with his head bowed. His hand were tucked behind his back as not to upset her or touch her, something he desprirately wanted to do...

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she stood up and walked into the dojo to find blue " uncle blue?" she asked softly

[ClaudiusBlue ] *ugh.. desperately

Aislinn 's mind wasn't reachable. Her words were met by a wall of fire and ice. Flames violently burning anything that tried to connect to her strong will and mind. She wiped her tears away quickly, trying to smile at Claudius. Though she found no joy in her heart. "Yes? Do you need something?" Ten feet now, the snow had melted from her. Getting closer, one would feel the warmth and heat rolling off her frame in waves.

Flash_Guardian shrugs to Kade as Acota disappears, then reappears. "Some angel. He's offered to help us with the demon who'll lead us to Glyniss." And then, at last, he sees Kodora down below. A slow smile spreads over his face. "Well, at least somebody got the message," he calls down to her before leaping over the side of the platform to fall to the earth down below.

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she watched Flash fall "FLASH WATCH OUT!" she cried to him

Alison opening her eyes she blinked she was find she growled now she would get her sword and piers her heart then she would die she nodded speading her wings and flys to where her blade was picking it shouting "GOOD BYE" as she was about to picers her heart with the sword

[Alison ] fine*

Kade grumbles, and starts to climb down from the the high perch. "Just lovely...."

[ClaudiusBlue ] A puddle of water, the layer of pure white snow that had been carefully crafted by the tip of his own blade had melted away into nothing but water. The man would not show his melacholy now, the very snowflakes that fell from above taking place of his tears. "No..." A meek reply, there was no pride in his voice. "Nothing..." He was also a terrible liar, at least he was for now. Like a statue, he simply stood silent as if he had always been there.

Aislinn felt his melancholy through it all. It made its way to her, and the ice within was burned away, and the flame died down to its normal rate. Her body temperature lowering somewhat. Hands reached out for her beloved. "Claudius.." She said softly... "Blue..." Her head shook, tears glistening in her own violet eyes. "I am sorry..."

Flash_Guardian isn't about to let a simply sixty foot fall do him in. As he falls, he catches several of the rafters, grabbing hold and swinging off each one on his way down, until at last he swings off the very bottom one, performing a pair of front flips in agile fashion before landing solidly on both feet in a crouched position, wincing slightly from the impact. Moments later, though, he rises, smiling at Kodora. "Thanks for coming when I sounded the gong. I hope the others can come soon, as well. I have something that I need to give everyone. It's important." He looks to Kodora now, gritting his teeth and reconsidering. "On second thought, you'd probably be better off without it."

Alison droped her blade now crying she thow her blade away and her shethe shaking her head she would give anything to have her mummy back for starters she did not want to fight but her sword was not what made her a good fighter she bit her lip she would become a nomal human girl with no powers of an angel she would hope that would prove she would do anything for her mother she blinked and begins to seach for mr blue maby he knows away for her to become human

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she looked to Flash worried and panicked for him "Flash i don't udenrstand. one minute your depresse,d the next your on a sugar high? whats going on?" she whimpered softly " your acting liek jesty. which is fine for him, but not for you wahts wrong?!" SHE BEED TO GET AN NASWER FROM FHIM

[ClaudiusBlue ] Both hand were still tucked behind him, his gaze afixed to the bare ground. "You need not apologize," he said in one long breath. "You are at no fault, nor have you ever been... Please understand this. Do not think I will not accept you..." The man let his gaze rise now, forcing a small smile. Whether it was false or not still had to be seen. "You never need apologize to me... I love you and I understand."

Flash_Guardian sighs, smiling slightly at Kodora before reaching out to ruffle her hair. "I was ... ill," he tells her, not really knowing how best to explain it. "For the last two weeks. But LoX and Serielle went and fixed me up, so now I'm all better!" he says cheerfully. "And now," he says, making his way over to the bag at the center of the arena, "I'm going to make sure that nobody else gets sick too." He picks up the bag, giving it a little shake to hear what sounds like glass bottles tinkling against one another, grinning happily.

Alison blinks gulping seeing mr blue and mommy she nods and appochers them gulping a little "mr do you know away for an angel to become human" she said in a timid scared voice

[Alison ] Mr Blue*

[Alison ] anyway*

Kade needs to get warm, as he can still see his breath, and not feel his toes.

[ClaudiusBlue ] His gaze only moved to Alison for a moment before turing away. "Leave us be... I want nothing to do with you, little angel. It is enough that you make Her Ladyship suffer like this. So please..." The bard turned back to his beloved wife. "Please, just leave us."

Alison blinked at him she never really loved him but she had always liked him at least and now she was being treated like she was nothing she blinked bit her lip turning to her mother "mamay me wont be the same tomorow me become a human girl and i have thown away my sword il never fight again

Aislinn pretended like she didn't hear Alison. Though inside she was pained. But she was ignoring her for a reason. The marks that were across Aislinn's body, the ones causing her the pain she hid, would kill a child. She was trying to have Alison leave. To find someone not in danger to take care of her. She could not. Not safely.

Bloody_Angel descended from the skies; flowing folds of velvet midnight tossed about his frail form, crimson orbs peering out from beneath the hood that cast a shadow over a hideously disfigured face. Normally concealed within shadows, the being known as the Bloody Angel stood out against the white of the snow. Skeletal hands extended from the sleeves of his robe, snowflakes dancing through the exposed bones. Slowly the skeletal digits interlaced, folding upon his abdomen as he began towards Aislinn and those around her.

Flash_Guardian would like to note that Bloody Angel would have a very hard time of it, seeing as the entire dojo and clearing is encased in a magical bubble at the moment. Please move on.
