Chasing The Light

Flash_Guardian never sleeps, it seems. Today, he is getting to work on that long to-do list he left for himself. First things first involve clearing six more trails along the island. For this particular task, he has decided to give Swordbreaker a thorough run. True, it's a bit like using a sledge hammer to pound in a nail ...

Flash_Guardian emerges from the south entrance of his dojo, stepping out into the clearing. Hands on his hips, he takes in a deep long breath. This place was much nicer than the old and dark temple from which he had come so recently. Even the air smells fresher, the distinct aroma of the sea wafting in through the trees. It makes him smile as he looks about, trying to decide which direction to go first.

Dreama didn't have anything fancy about her to enter with. She was in a longboat, rowing to the shores of the island. Having seen it, faintly, off the coast of the mainland, and wondering if it had anything to pillage. Buried treasure maybe, or a hidden stash of rum? Something. As she hit the sands, the flamboyantly colored female sprung out of the boat and pulled it to shore fully so it would not float away. Her purple hued eyes narrowed, small silver flecks in the irises. Where was she? Well, she would soon find out. Cutlass sheathed at her side, an old pistol to her left as well. Dark ebon locks held back in a loose braid. She wore mainly purple, blue and silver - in mostly silks and leather. Dressed quite well, and looking as dreamy and dangerous as those of her kind oft do.

Flash_Guardian glances here and there, eventually settling on the south passage. He glances down to the unfamiliar weapon hanging at his side appraisingly, uncertain as to whether or not he will be able to wield it with any decent amount of skill. Narrows eyes turn back to the trees, as if staring down a vast field of formidable foes. "Only one way to find out," he tells himself, quickly pulling forth the blade in one swift motion as he charges toward the treeline at terriffic speeds. "Hyaaahh!!"

demosis walks out of the woods towards the dojo she had come to know as home. She had been gone a long time...she came back to opolgize to everyone for her hasty leave. She saw flash out and about and decided to pay him a visit.

Dreama walked towards the tree line, hand on her cutlass as she heard someone bellowing what she thought was a charge. Jumping, and unsheathing it, she looked around. To find, what she thought, was a funny looking male charging...a tree? "What'd they ever done to ya?" She asked, with a smirk, gesturing to the trees.

Flash_Guardian catches sight of faces emerging from the trees ... but it's a bit too late to foil his charge just yet. The sword is brought upward, feet shooting forward to slide across the ground, coming to a screeching halt and swiping at the first branch that Flash comes to, the sword cleaving neatly through despite the branch's thickness. The force of the blow is enough to bring him to a complete stop now, able to turn back and address both females properly. "Oh! Hi ..." he says, panting, holding the sword at rest with both hands.

demosis looks at Flash a bit curiously "what are you doing?" She had never seen him act so odd.

Dreama nodded a little to the drow, then looked back to the guy. A funny look over her features, a twinkle in her eye. She resheathed the cutlass, watching for a moment. "Aye. Ya know, ya might wanna quit with the sword an' the trees. They be quite innocent...though I think that shrubbery o'er there said something funny 'bout yer mother." She joked, with a grin.

Flash_Guardian stands there, holding the sword and well aware of how ridiculous he probably looked to them both just now. Embarrassed, he scratches at the back of his neck. "Well ... I had it set to clear some new trails across the island, from the dojo out to the beach. I've also had a mind to teach myself how to use this thing," he says, giving the sword in his right hand an awkward twirl. "I figured, hey! Why not do two things at once?" It is fairly evident that Flash has never used a sword in his life, by the way he swings it, holds it. Still, he isn't too bad, able to make up for his lack of sword skill with other combat experience. Flash frowns now, glaring at the offending shrub and waving his sword dangerously in its direction. "What'd you say about my momma?!" he jests, chuckling.

demosis chuckles "well, if you wanted to start with how to hold your sword...i can show you how to do that." she smiles it was rather funny to see him embarrassed. "might save some innocent trees to.." she shrugs and waits his decision.

Flash_Guardian shakes his head at Demosis. "Sorry ... the trees are in the way, and no matter how politely I asked them to, they aren't moving," he jokes to the drow woman, still seeming kinda awkward. But he does nod. "Actually, any instruction you could give me would be appreciated. It's a beautiful sword," he says, holding it out to the pair for show. It's an elaborate-looking sword. The sheathe itself is rendered to look like a giant battlefield, men locked in mortal combat. The steel itself finely decorated and drawn to resemble dueling Demons and Gods. "The least I can do is learn to wield it properly."

Omenis carefully manuvers herself over the earth bridge connecting the island to the mainland the soft smile upon her lips broadens as she pauses and looks up...studying the island a little in the direction she knew the structure Flash and others were building. It had been a while since her last visit ..even a while since her last talk with Flash she had soo much to tell him ..sooo much she had learned in his absence...taking another step as she proceeds onwards turning towards the building site once leaving the bridge behind

Dreama shook her head with a little groan at how he was using it. "It's a sword, mate, not a bloody stick. Eesh..." She was, a swashbuckling lass. His lack of skill, even embarassed her a little. A grin soon came though, as he addressed said shrub about the supposed insult.

Flash_Guardian just ... sighs, standing there and holding the sword as he has seen others do, tossing it this way and that, experimenting. "I wish this were a stick," he mutters. "If it was, I wouldn't be having any problems. But this is nothing like a staff ... the balance is different, and it doesn't move as well."

demosis nods "i was here when you got it...though i know not the name of the man who gave it to you." she looks it over as she pulls her short sword off of her personage. "mine is not so grand in design, but it gets the job done" she smiles. the blade is black and has an oily look to it...the blade itself not anything that might have been put onto it. The pommel has a red fire stone with runes decorating the rest of it. she looks over to the other woman "im sure with help from both of us...we can show you how to at least hold it" she looks back at flash

Flash_Guardian grins, chuckling. "Sword lessons from such a pair of lovely ladies? How could anyone refuse?" He gives his best flashing smile to them both, eyes twinkling. He does look over the short sword as it is displayed, rather curious to the 'oily' effect upon the blade. Indeed, he took it for poison at first, but it was not so. Flash's eyes also fall to the other woman's cutlass curiously as he stands there, awaiting their instructions.

Dreama rubbed her face with a groan and a chuckle. She wondered if he was hopeless. Hell, she didn't even know the guy, nor the gal's names. Just that he was really..really bad with a sword. "Of course it ain't bloody well a staff. Honestly, yer swinging it worse than a kid!" She really wasn't the polite type.

demosis laughs "well, then lets be started!" she stands next to flash....now like this...she holds her sword in her hand in such position so flash can easily copy her position. "you just need to relax a bit more....its not going to leap out of your hands you know!"

Omenis steps lightly as she progresses through the flora of the island getting ever closer to the area of the building. as she moves this being would pause breifly when taking time to feel...look at those objects of her surroundings...opulent eyes still going wide with wonderment the magic of the world still haolding its own fresh magic ...looking up her eyes widen a tad as she sopts the rooftop of the dojo..or at least part of it...through the tops of the trees...her steps now picking up their pace...head tilting as she hears the distint sound of voices though of who she has no idea

Flash_Guardian grumbles slightly ... for a proud warrior like himself, this was rather demeaning. The swashbuckling woman's comments weren't helping much, either. He does his best to just humble himself and play along, mimicking the drow woman's movements as best he can, rolling his shoulders to try and relax his arms and posture, trying to get comfortable with the blade.

Dreama leaned against one of the trees for now, just shaking her head silently. This was all wrong. Each sword was handled differently too. You didn't use a foil the same way as a broadsword. That sort of things. For now, she crossed her arms and just groaned.

demosis nods and smiles "thats right, just relax." she puts her sword away and moves his arm into the correct position. "that feels better now doesnt it?" she smiles she personally had never taught anyone how to use a weapon, but since things where so changed in her life she figured to keep adding to them.

[Dreama ] *thing

|3enji walks around where every one else seems to be hanging out. he plays with a yo yo, twirling it around. looking for any one he could play with. he's rather bored and lonely

Flash_Guardian nods appreciatively. "That does feel better." His brow wrinkles, and he looks to how he's holding the weapon, slowly shifting his right hand near the hilt guard, his left almost to the bottom of the hilt. A couple of swings are given for practice now. "That feels better, too. More control." He tosses the blade around a bit more, shifting his hands to various positions ... he even tries a few one handed swings, doing his best to get a feel for the balance of the weapon, its tendencies of motion ... he seems quite eager to move forward in his lessons.

Omenis at last steps out of the undergrowth fire opal eyes quickly moving over the area as they search to find to whom the voices belonged....tentively stepping further into the area unsure whether she was wrong to be here...eyes coming to rest upon first the female against the tree before her attention is taken by the other female...blinking as she sees the stick like weapon in her hand wait......yes that was a ..sword...her brows knitting not understanding to whom she wished to hurt

Dreama silently watched, frowning in intervals. A shake of her head here, a look there. But she didn't say a word. Still crossing her arms, grunting softly. Also, it didn't work to have two teachers. That just messed a person up. She would wait for now, until she was asked. Though, she was a hard teacher, and doubted this fellow could handle her training. He looked soft to her.

|3enji walks around to where the man and woman with the sword are. he smiles to them "hi." he says waving. when he does his yoyo falls from his hand and unwinds to the end. "darn it.." he starts trying to rewind it

demosis slowly let the smile slip from her face...she sighed a bit. swords were for killing...and she had wanted to put that life behind her...she looked at her own deadly blade...how many of her own people had she killed with 'Black Blade'....she lets her gaze fall to the new individual...he was playing with something ..."hi" she stated flatly...she looked to flash and the other woman..."im sorry Flash" she said as she looked back over at him. "i..." she starts to walk away, something was obviously bothering her "am going to the dojo."

Flash_Guardian frowns a little bit, seeing Demosis's reluctance and the other woman's scowling. "Sure," he calls after Demosis as she leaves. "And hey, thanks." He also sees Omenis now, looking over in her direction with a big smile. "Well, hi! Welcome back," he greets the young woman cheerfully, his sword lowering back to his side for the moment. Still, he's not about to give up on his chance for free lessons just now, looking back to the woman against the tree who is currently playing the silent critic. "You haven't said too much," he tells her. "Care to offer your opinion?"

Omenis stays where she was surprise evident as her attention comes to Flash dropping to the weapon he now grips....was the female trying to hurt Flash? she could not believe it was the other way around...surprise turning to puzzlement as she sees the small male addressing the two...eyes following Demosis as she makes her way to the dojo...head turning back to Flash at his greetings that broad smile appearing ..." Hello Flash"

Dreama frowned as the drow walked off, and she sighed a little. To the young man and the woman who came, she gave them a half salute of her hand. Then that hard amethyst gaze was on Flash once more. "Because it ain't right. That there.. is a katana. Ya can't wield it like a shortsword, first off. Every sword is different. And..if ya can't handle what a sword does, what a sword is for, then ya shouldn't be wielding one. A sword, is made for killin'. Ya have to accept it. It's inevitable." She said. Seems this lass knew quite a bit of death and battle. Well, a pirate's life wasn't all easy, afterall.

|3enji looks to demosis smiling happily. glad to be noticed at all. he looks around tiredly not sure what to do. he spins his yo-yo around in a circle, he smiles, then it falls, smacking him in the forhead "oww!" he says, rubbing his head. it left a small bump where the wooden wheel smacked his head. he sits down. gently rubbing the bump still. looking around

Flash_Guardian frowns slightly, only agreeing with half of the woman's words. "I think it's fairly obvious that this is no short sword," he tells her. "It's a katana. It's definitely of oriental design, I'm sure, and very high quality. More than that, I can't really say." He would like to say more, but simply holds his tongue as he does not want to offend his teacher. His opinions can wait until after the lesson is over, if at all. Looking back to Omenis now, he grins sideways at her, winking. Apparently Flash is in quite the good mood currently, for some reason.

demosis slips her hood over her head, the sunlight was never easy on her eyes, but it wasnt so bad in the woods. She kept thinking about her own training...back in the underdark. She didnt want to spoil this man with her 'taint'. All of her moves where killing moves, not for flash or show. She knew where to hit the body for the most damage and how to place a wound to make it just painful. She thought about this as she walked to the dojo, could she really teach him that? The question wasnt really if she could, it was more if she would and for the moment being she would not.

Omenis could easily sense the good mood Flash is in though she also sensed the uncertainety of Demosis...not that she could name it as such...head tilting a little as she slowly turns another being sensed...eyes coming to rest upon the small male....yes he was the source..

Dreama hung her head, and shook it now. "Of course it's a nloody katana. I just said that. Eeesh... and my point was, ya can't learn to wield it with the same way someone uses a shortsword. Ya have to learn how to with the way it was made to." She was a fiesty woman to say the least. Shrewd, calculating, unpolite. Was there anything good about her? Surely there was, but she seemed to keep it hidden well. She crossed her arms harder. Right now, she wasn't his teacher. She didn't offer, and he didn't exactly ask.

[Dreama ] *bloody

|3enji sighs. he rewinds his yoyo and just moves it down and back up. sighing. he wonders if he is noticed. he looks around playing with his yo-yo more

Flash_Guardian narrows his eyes at Dreama, considering ... at length, he simply grabs the sword just above the hilt carefully, offering her the hilt. "Show me," he asks plainly, head tilted to one side curiously.

Dreama groaned. When was she designated a teacher? But, even if she was hard headed, she took the hilt now. "Fine, fine." This woman had travelled the seven seas...all the oceans. Visited places only imagined by some. She knew all kinds of combat, she knew how to wield all sorts of weapons. A perk of never having a home but the open waters. "Now, your moves with this have to be more fluid. Work with the sword, don't fight it. Don't force your actions on it, or think of it as just a weapon. Think of it as an extension of yer body." She started in a looser position, and soon, showed him a graceful step, and a slow sweeping move.

demosis walked up some of the steps up to the dojo. she sat down on the top step, taking her blade off of her personage again. she watched it as it gleamed and moved, she smirked, the blade didnt even reflect light. It was truely called black blade for a reason. She just sighed as she remembered her last assignment and tried in vain to push it out of her memory.

Flash_Guardian watches the woman closely, pondering her words. His eyes fall upon the way she swings, not truly fighting the swords inevitable momentum, but using it instead ... working with it. He takes another step or two back now, allowing the woman plenty of room. Isn't he worried that this stranger might try to take off with such a magnificent sword? Not really. He knows the woman wouldn't get far. For now, he just watches, seeing how she uses the blade. He sidles up next to Omenis, sparing her a few whispered words. "Nice to see you again, sweetie," he tells her in a hushed voice, his eyes never leaving the exotic woman's swordplay.

Omenis tilts her head at his words her mind truely having been thinking about the short male that seemed to have moved off...she had noticed how his body had reacted to being hit...swelling..at the eaxact spot of impact something she had not seen before.....she was unsure why Flash spoke so quietly but returned in likeness not wishing to do wrong..." My heart is happy to see you once more"

Dreama stopped after a time, though all of her movements had been of the utmost care and grace. Each step, each small move of her body was planned, yet not forced. Body, heart, sword, soul and mind - all working together as one. She bowed, rather oriental style, giving the sword its due homage, before flipping it, and offering the hilt back. Sure, she was a thief, but she knew when a weapon, especially one this magnificent, belonged in another's hands. Not her own.

Flash_Guardian grins, sparing Omenis a quick glance. "Me too," he whispers back. He watches as the other woman finishes, offering a bit of applause at her performance, smiling happily as he steps forward and reaches out to reclaim his sword. "Thank you," he says, taking the weapon back carefully, and gazing up and down its length, hefting it once or twice as if testing it, and then he holds it much like she has done just now, getting into a stance more akin to the martial arts, holding the blade with both hands at an angle across his body. He wavers the sword from side to side slightly, further feeling the way it moves and responds to his guidance ... then, at length, he lets the sword begin to lead, flowing as it will in various strokes from one side to the other. A step is taken only as it is needed as Flash and the sword begin to dance, like two partners recently introduced to each other. He lets all of his surroundings drop away ... for now, there is only him and the sword, the sword and him ...

Omenis looks puzzled as she watched the female dance with her ......sword.....was she not told that such a instruement was a weapon of hurt not used unless to harm and she should be afraid of those weilding such....yet..what she sees seems to contridict all this ..she blinks stepping back as Flash....her teacher...mentor takes up the weapon and seems to continue where the female had finished...

demosis looks around where was she...this was the third time she had came to a strage place with out remembering how or why she was here. "curses" she mutters under her breath. she pulls back her hood, why does she always end up in this place...its so open and totally unprotected in her standerds. questions blaze in her mind. she knew she had to report back to her guildmast he would be upset if she wasnt at his side during the goblin chase. She wasnt only his top assassin but his shadow...and as to why she kept finding herself here bothered her. she walked looking for an opening or a tunnel that would lead her back to her city. she was in the dark once again....she didnt see the dojo...to her it was a mass of rock...everything to her was different...she was 'home'

Flash_Guardian continues in the dance, his slashes coming in sweeping gestures now, flowing in lazy sweeps and circles as the two get better acquainted with one another. He begins to repeat the woman's words of wisdom as he does so, trying to incorporate such advice in his strokes. "Fluid ... don't fight it ... just an extension of myself ..." As he says this, his motions suddenly quicken as if he were suddenly facing a real threat. Eyes acquire its target, feel planting and arms rushing out in a solid swipe to meet it, quickly flipping back around as the sweep completes to swing again, feet advancing slightly to press the attack, letting the blade wander, but always guiding it back to that same imaginary opponent ...

Omenis could still feel the uncertainity of the other female yet it was faint...and getting fainter...almost totally disappearing..she could not tell if this was good or bad only that it was...and suddenly was not there anymore..her brows knitted faintly trying to identify such that she could feel though it was still beyond her. Attention once more is taken by Flash and his display of sword dancing..............what was he doing..?

Flash_Guardian seems to have gotten a decent feel for the attack, now at least displaying the comfort that a novice would show with a weapon on the offensive. He turns the tide now, taking a step back and bringing his sword up to block some imaginary blow ... and all at once his actions seem to grow clumsy once more. He tries again, holding the blade out to one side to deflect another invisible blow, but again he has to force his hand upon the weapon more than he would like. Apparently such a weapon doesn't block the same as it strikes. His error is clear, however ... he is attempting to block with the tip of the sword, and not closer to the hilt as an experienced swordsman would. The result? His motions seem to drag through the air, his blocks likely coming too late had the incoming attacks been real.

demosis walks around for awhile...till she can hear others...it isnt exactly a language she is used to listening too. she decides that human slaves have excaped the cells of some pety house. "better take em back" she mumbles to herself. she knew that human slaves where valued among her kind for their strength and fast reproduction. she walks over to the group of individuals and demands in a bad commen toungue "you all come back with me" she eyes them with open hosistility though no weapons are seen.

Dreama nodded a little, a small grin at first to the start of it. Then, as he tried to block an imaginary thrust, it was all wrong. "No no no!" She exclaimed, a grunt following. Had she taken him under her wing fully, at this moment, he would feel her whip crack against his hand to drop the sword. She was a hard teacher, but one of the best, if you could stand her..and get her to teach. For now, she was just giving pointers. "That is not how you block an attack! Ye'd be long dead by now, ya keep doin' it that way..."

Flash_Guardian stops as he hears his tutor's frustration, letting the blade drop slightly as he turns to frown at her, a slight scowl showing on his face now. The woman's criticism would be more welcome if it at least bore some constructive feedback. Before he can ask for some, however, he hears the voice of the drow woman ... something seems different about it, though. More awkward. He lets the sword fully come to rest, looking back at Demosis with a confused look. "What is it?" he asks her curiously. "Did you find something, Demosis?"

demosis looked to the male talking "all you with me!" she demanded again. her eyes gleamed with an inner fire, something that flash had never before seen.

Omenis tilts her head eyes lifting to look at Demosis....she didnt understand......her voice soft as she utters one word" Where?"

Dreama crossed her arms harder. She didn't budge, nor would she. No one talked to her like that. Her calculating gaze snapped on the drow, and she shook her head silently.

Flash_Guardian lets the katana swivel in his grasp into a sort of reverse grip before offering up both of his hands in a gesture of surprised submission. "Okay, okay," he tells her, catching sight of the inner fire that burns within the drow woman. "Demosis ... is something wrong?" Flash looks now to the others, trying to see if they are as confused by the woman's behavior as he is ... and apparently at least Omenis is.

demosis scowls "do not questions me human!!!" her control of the common language had slipped badly. "follow!" she didnt move but waited for them to line up.

Laureli_Arti creeps around the dojo in silence looking for someone watching the inhabitatant. Her eyes studying every person in the dojo. Hiding in the shadows.

[Laureli_Arti ] inhabitants*

Flash_Guardian shakes his head slightly now, not understanding. Something wasn't right here. He'd never seen Demosis act like this. He squints, frowning slightly. "... human?" he mutters. "Demosis, it's me ... Flash. Remember?"

Laureli_Arti Creeps OUTSIDE THE DOJO ECT...

Dreama didn't know Demosis, so she just figured this was some drow thing. Still, she did not budge. Just standing there, against the tree, her eyes carefully watching Demosis. Like any true warrior of sorts, she was watching carefully for an opening,

demosis looks hard into the eyes of Flash "how you know me human?" her voice full of venom.

Omenis looks about in puzzlement....." Human....." as always looking to Flash to explain" Who does she mean.....why does she want us to go with her?"

Laureli_Arti picking up a sharp rock seeing if the girl was talking about her. If so she wouldn't hesitate thoughing it dirrectly in her throat nocking her out of voiceless.

[Laureli_Arti ] throwing*

Flash_Guardian looks to all the others ... the suspicious Dreama, the confused Omenis ... clearly, this situation could quickly get out of hand if Flash wasn't careful. "Demosis," he says, shaking his head, "we met before. When I was busy building the dojo. Remember? You had just come to the island, and were complaining about how bright it was ... and then the angel girl, Alison, made all those flashes that made it worse? Robert gave you his sunglasses? I offered you my staff?" Flash, pats himself on the chest now for emphasis. "Flash. Your friend."

[Laureli_Arti ] of=or*

demosis looks at him as if he is crazy "you expect me to belive i went to the serface!!" she laughs a bit as she continues "nice try male! get in line! You all go back to your cells!"

Dreama continued watching the drow female like a hawk. She would find an opening, and it would not likely be pretty. The hardened woman still watched. No one threatened her life. Mistake number one. Something would happen if Flash did not calm Demosis down. Looking at Dreama, it was fairly obvious for Flash to see, she was already thinking of a strategy. As well as her weapons on her.

Flash_Guardian closes his eyes, letting out a knowing sigh and shaking his head. "She thinks she's back in the underdark," he says for the benefit of the others. "She thinks we're slaves."

Omenis side glances to Dreama......to Flash watching and listening to his address to Demosis......something was wrong...she could sense that easily enough...even from Flash what she could sense seemed wrong somehow more.....forceful...both it seemed had become more intense.....she blinks now......cells.......what were they?

Flash_Guardian moves quickly places himself between Dreama and Demosis, sheathing his sword as he moves and keeping his hands up in a peaceful gesture. "Demosis, look at me," he tells the drow woman, staring straight into her eyes. If she looks into Flash's eyes, she would be able to sense his calmness ... his confidence and serenity. His were not the eyes of one who had been broken by slavery, that much was clear.

Laureli_Arti slowly walks out of the shadows dropping the sharp rock... begins fiddling with 3 paperclips.

demosis waches the humans...something was different about them...they didnt fear her like the others...this puzzled her and made her a bit more dangerous. she looked them over carefully..."yous goes" she pointed down the dark tunnel

Omenis head comes up startled at Flash's word of Slaves....Shouou had only the other day explained to her about such.....her mind slipping to the cages she had seen in the slave market....Shouou had made it very clear she was to make sure she never become a slave...

Suzaki padded on to the island from a small boat she had been on in her kittin form she blinks happly as she plays in the sand purring at it not having seen it she desides to eat a little of it couting suddly she meows now unhapply at the sand

Laureli_Arti walks over to flash and bows with her hand in prayer position.

Laureli_Arti the paper clips cpmpletely un bent and now are straight and look like nija spikes.

[Laureli_Arti ] sompletely* unbent* ninja*

Flash_Guardian eyes Laureli as she emerges from her hiding and approaches him. Her motions appear non-threatening and respectful, though her mysterious appearance has him slightly unnerved ... especially since she has chosen to appear at such an inopportune moment. He instead keeps his eyes firmly on Demosis, staring at her calmly as before silently. "Look at me," he repeats to her firmly, keeping his arms held aloft before her.

Dreama would watch still, waiting, not seeming to move to the eyes. Yet, something was going on in her mind. She leaned still, very still against the tree, allowing Flash to work it out with this drow he knew. Though, if Demosis made a wrong move against him, it was assured something would happen.

Laureli_Arti Competely*********

Omenis lets her hands clasps in front of her resting lightly upon the robe......Flash as always seemed to be dealing with this unexpected turn of events...though her attentions shifts slightly to the sudden appearance of another female...eyes studying this new arrival though still listeing to the exchange of words...

Suzaki sniffed up looking for any one on the island as she ran though the forest happly now she saw people she smiled a little seeing Omenis purring a little she jumped up to her shoulder happly

demosis watches the other she never knew humans to be so bold. she looked at him...how the light caught his armor...the light...the light...she looked around where was it comming from...then suddenly she looked back to flash her eyes wide. she started to speak as she did tears started to well up in her eyes. "it ...." her lips quivered as she spoke.

Dreama 's hand had suddenly been brought down, and the song of her cutlass was heard. The blade unsheathed and ready to be used. She was given an opening to do so. Still, she did not attack yet, seeing Flash deal with this. If the drow so much as made a threatening move to him, or the other females, you can be sure this pirate with run her through without any guilt.

Flash_Guardian easily notices the change in the drow woman as her resolve seems to soften. He drops his hands slightly, smiling at her. "Back with us now, are you?"

Omenis is long aware of the running kitten as it trumps through the undergrowth turning to the sound as she is suddenly pounced upon by the kitten....recognision coming mere seconds before the pounce as arms rised to catch the small bundle of fur..." Suzaki.."

demosis closes her eyes "it was so real..." her voice soft, almost on the virge of tears "the darkness...i'll never excape it...no matter how far i run." she swallows hard as she looks around to the others. she was embarrassed that she had an eposode infront of others.

Suzaki meows happly at her purring as she cachers her she smiles talking in to her mind ~Hello Omenis you miss friend Suzaki~

Dreama grunted low, disgusted with the non self control now. The cutlass was heard clicking into position. This lapse was unforgiveable. Surprising, but she had morals and such. Honor, well, her own twisted sort. The pirate ran a tight ship, and these things were ridiculous. She nodded to Flash, then to Omensis, before whirling on her boot heel and marching off away from the islands for now. This kind of traitor act, would have had Demosis killed in Dreama's world. So, not to rile anything up, the pirate took her leave.

Luna_hope enters on a cloud she had created to fly around on she looked down as she was above the island seeing people around she landed her cloud to them making it fly off again she would look around her elf ears showing though her hair she was wering her favret pink dress to day "ummm hi people" she said with a happy smile

Flash_Guardian shakes his head, taking a short step closer to Demosis. "Darkness is simply the absence of light," he tells her. "If you can find a light to guide with you, and keep with you always, the darkness can never truly reach you." To the retreating woman, he calls over his shoulder. "Thanks for the lessons, miss." Back to Demosis now, Flash waves his hand in the air before him, tracing patterns idly as he conjures magical energy, charging it and shaping it into a small sphere of light just above the palm of his hand, which he then offers to Demosis. The gesture is more symbolic than anything else, but the idea behind it should be fairly clear. "My doors are always open."

Omenis nods to the female she had yet to know the name of....as she pulls Suzaki to her cradling the furry ball in an arm as slender fingers stroke through its fur following the contours of its back.....turning back now to look towards Flash and Demosis once more she could sense a change.....yet this one was completely different to the last...even though once more she could not identify it

Flash_Guardian waves to the new woman as she descends upon a cloud from the heavens, greeting her simply. "Hey."

Suzaki purrs again happly as she lays there curled up waching the others now resting purring sofly at the strokes she is getting she blinks a little looking at the others with some intrest the elf who just turned friendly enough

demosis sighs...."im sorry Flash" she licks her lips "its a darkness of my own design. Im sorry Flash, i cant teach you how to use your sword" she looks at the light in his hand not knowing what to do with it....she had always been afraid of magic.

[Suzaki ] up*

Luna_hope blinked looking around then smiling at the lady she had met befor she walked over to her "hello miss me met you in pub befor you is the nice lady" she said with a happy grin on her face

Flash_Guardian shrugs to Demosis. "Maybe you can teach me, and maybe you can't," he tells her. "Not all lessons involve words, you know." The ball of light is left there, suspended in the air before Demosis as Flash withdraws his hand from it, bowing to Demosis as he begins to make his way back to the building nearby. "If you'll excuse me."

Omenis nods softly....still stroking the creature as she slowly takes steps towards Flash and Demosis.......silent still not wishing to say the wrong thing and upset the female more....nodding now to Luna....a smile easily appearing..." Hello"

demosis looked up to Flash "its not that....i dont want to make your life as miserable as mine. I fear if i teach you...never mind...sorry to bother you" she goes to touch the light more then a bit hesitant.

Luna_hope blinks at Demosis looking at her happly "is you ok miss" she says wondering why she seemed down looking at her now with a curiouse stare

demosis looks to luna "im ok" she takes the light carefully in her hand...expecting it to burn her.

Omenis head turns as her eyes follows Flash withdrawal....a soft sigh emitting between her lips.....was something else wrong....soo many different feelings emitting from others like bright beacons of light.....she steps away from Demosis and Luna...not wishing to interfer her mind undcided upon Flash before turning away and walking slowly away

Flash_Guardian stops in his retreat, whirling on the spot to glare and point straight at Demosis in a grand and powerful gesture. "YOU!" his voice booms, perhaps a bit too loudly. He stands there, staring down the sad-faced drow for just a moment longer, before his lips part one more time, his voice suddenly much calmer ... almost commanding. "Smile." His eyes twinkle as a broad smile of his own spreads over his lips, turning once more to head back towards the dojo. The light continues to linger even as Flash departs. It emits no warmth, yet responds to Demosis's movements, always staying just an inch or two away from her hand. She finds that she can guide it through the air in this manner, if she so chooses ... though it would disappear in several minutes, seeing as it is but a weak magic. Where drow can create impenetrable darkness, Flash can create brilliant light ... such is his namesake, after all.
