Expelling Secrets

Sam_Seymour glances over her shoulder from whence she had decided to make her stand.......seeing Flash a nod to him ...sooo the noise had waken others too it seemed

Severon-TDS - The creature burst from the trees lunging over the woman. Hitting the brick work it rolled over and into the wall, the spines disappearing along with most of the bulk muscle upon its body. It awoke, using a clawed hand to lift itself from the ground. An overzealous being or just an incompotent on, no matter what i was a young man now appeared in its place. "Damn blood fest. Damn vampires. Just damn...." He spat on the ground, blood dripping from its lips.

Flash_Guardian approaches Sam casually ... how he'd found her or where she is now isn't terribly important. They have things to accomplish. In Flash's hand is some sort of large crystal, light blue in color and semi-translucent ... it's quite remarkable to look at. Flash looks around now to get a good idea of what's going on ...

Fx is but a leaf cought in the wind, a form bore not made, sheltered though never formed by the motions that make it what it has become. Bare you now this sublte doll of the wind?

Sam_Seymour ducks down as she feels the tension in the air seconds before the unknown creature seems to fly over her and into a wall behind her.....which would be something to do with the dojo.....twisting sharply around in her crouching position fingers aready around something from her pocket as she slams it into the ground growing into a small baton....as she begins twirling it between her fingers

Flash_Guardian watches the creature fly overhead and smack into the walls of his dojo, then blinks as he lands, cursing. "You know, in many cases, damning vampires is slightly redundant," he informs Severon calmly. "You alright?" Flash looks between the pair nearby with equal concern. "How you holding up, Sam?"

Severon-TDS _ The creature stood, shaking its head violently to rid itself of the being dazed by the sudden clash with the wall. "Oh my aching head, never gonna binge drink blood again. Ow...." He feel back, the tails thrusting into the brick work to keep him upright. "Never go to a blood fest, they really mess with your mind...."

Fx sighs softly and walks closer seeking out the one to whom his essence had called. His body a tiring sight and a single form of such intents none would be for sure as to why or what this creature was here about though. Its movements were more silent than most, each footfall on earth making nearly no noise at all and the few times a headwind blew no scent was about the being.

Sam_Seymour slows the twirling of the baton as she recognises the bandanna from the male she had meet a few days ago.....pushing herself up to standing....head turning as she notices the sutle rustling of leaves......a wind moving a slow smile forming over red raw lips....slightly eased by recently applied cream....." I think we have another visitor......" she nods to Flash......though it's very obvoiusly she isnt alright....the lips were raw the top layer of skin peeled off ....hands and fingers covered in blisters ...all covered in recent cream to ease whatever she felt

Flash_Guardian raises his eyebrows as he addresses Sam, eying something that looks suspiciously like a wand in her hands. He can tell she's been using the cream quite profusely, mostly due to the strong cinnamon-like scent. "Indeed," he tells her. "I suppose a quick greeting is in order, and then we should get down to business?" Flash sounds quite eager to do so, gazing piteously at Sam's broken and rapidly deteriorating form. Even as he does so, his hand moves back to that pouch of his to produce another small metal tin ... just in case the one she has is wearing thin. It is quickly offered to the woman before he looks off in the direction Sam is glancing.

Fx comes forth rapidly advancing in only a short stepped walk. He seems to be moving so slow but covering ground uncannily. Comming about the ovrehang he would look in and about the dojo slightly perplexed the voice had not called him further. He heard no noise. No winds were here and not but a breath or two to talk to. Where had his grains of sand gone? Were they sleeping? Questioning further he stepped a foot into the complex and waited.

Sam_Seymour mutters a few words the small baton becoming nothing but a matchstick as she drops this into her jacket pocket.....wincing slightly...if what they can see of her flesh is so bad only their imagination can tell what her flesh is like unseen by clothes...her eyes dropping to the tin he offers this time she recognises it for what it is....fingers clasping it with a nod....yet her eyes speak her thanks even if it is not uttered in words....before head turning back to the path of leaves....."Wind....I am here...come touch as I have touched you"....

Flash_Guardian frowns slightly, not understanding to whom Sam is referring to ... until he watches another odd looking man enter the dojo through the main entrance. Flash seems as if he wants to go and give the man a more formal greeting, but wants to be certain just what Sam is up to first ...

Fx moves across the floor without even the single movement of feet. A gentle slide centimeters from wood and nail. Comming to a halt before Sam he nods and bows softly his haf falling and drooping in ebon tresses with his every move, but hiding his face in every moment like some viel. "Your wind has come. Have you converse for it? Have you deed or demand of your wind upon our meeting here today?" The voice being only a soft as but a hushed childs whisper fades off cutting short with a light exhale. None of the speech nor the ecxhale parts of moves the hair though, they were too subtle and soft to do so one may think.

Flash_Guardian stares for a moment at the tattooed man as he approaches without footfalls, gliding across the floor. Apparently no real greeting is necessary as yet ... he simply stands back and allows Sam to work whatever magic she has in mind, looking respectfully between the pair. He is rather curious, though, at why such a man would call himself her wind ... elementals come to Flash's mind, but somehow what he sees doesn't seem to fit with that. Perhaps an elemental-kin of air ... and so Flash's mind tries to rationalize him.

Sam_Seymour smiles broadens something almost not seen since her arrival in these savage lands.....her hand coming out to touch the creature in front of her..." Naw wind......I d not command but welcome you most heartedly within this island....as I have said before.." her fading dark eyes sweeping over Fx....as she then steps forwards to wrap lightly her arms about him...." It gladens my heart that you choose to come"

Fx is bound within the hug and like a lost spell his body becomes slightly limp in her grasp but still holds life. Perhaps the wind let his toy losen to show her some emotion of a human nature in being here. Perhaps it was to give some emotion to a hug. Slowly the arms of the being would move ever so slightly to her sides accepting the hug and placing one back as is only right to have done. " I am glad you have accepted me to come. It has been a long while since such have invited shelter to one above the waters." A slight trace of referance surrounded his words as if they possibly had more to meaning than any that were before bore here.

Flash_Guardian tilts his head, smiling at the warm embrace. He takes a step or two back now, content to let them share whatever they will, as he is not yet a part of it. Still he watches, silently, the woman seeming to interact with no more than a gentle breeze emulating a solid form. Flash's mind now turns to his dojo as the being speaks of shelter, wondering which of the wings this being would most likely be at home in ... after all, the five rooms were all designed with the chinese elements in mind ... yet none of them is air. Indeed, perhaps he would be most at home outside?

Sam_Seymour steps back perhaps only Flash would know what the cost of such an action had cost her in her condition.....ahh yes Flash he coming to Sam's mind only now...." You are always welcome whereever I am....but now wind softest of all....I wish you to met yet another who I am sure will welcome your touch as much as I.." glancing over her shoulder to Flash beckoning him over...

Fx looks across his shoulder and glances through ebon viel of hair to the man silently taking in the view. "Have I another grain of sand? The water would whisper no, but I believe all is not lost as it may seem." He looks to the floor before the man gauging the foot and what was about it, soils of not. Liquids, or not. Oils, or not. He would seemingly stare to the mans feet for quite some time before looking back up silent again in his gaze.

Flash_Guardian looks to the wind-borne creature, seeming rather awkward for a moment as attention is directed to him now. He searches his mind rather quickly, seeking the proper etiquette for such a situation. Indeed, it's been ages ... he waits silently as he is being appraised, finally speaking as Fx's gaze lifts. "I am most honored to welcome you into the dojo, noble wind," is all he says for now, holding a hand to his chest and bowing to him.

Fx tilts his head pondering the mans bow. This man could be gauged at stronger than the puppet before him there was no need for pleasantries in being humble. The creature though still was absolutely currious and studies the view of the mans feet in its mind. It would learn much from those feet for the man had yet invited him here it was best to studt such creatures in a time before strife as the creature was told would arise from the east. There was a house from whence imposed upon this and it drove curriousity to him.

Sam_Seymour smiles as she watches the two...pleased waiting..she had in trueth not known in what form the wind would take and yet she should not have been surprised and what stands before her...yet she was slightly puzzled as to how to proceed a step had been taken one that had pleased and gladened her

Flash_Guardian just ... blinks and stands there as the creature inspects his feet. Confused as he is by the wind's interests, he does shift from foot to foot for a moment before lifting one of his feet to allow a closer inspection by the other, trying to be helpful.

Fx smiles very softly from behind its hair and removes an entrapped leaf from under one of the tabi boots. His eyes focalise on the little puppet blowing away. A slight shimmer of emerald flashes from behind the hair shieling the creatures face as the lighting hits just right to catch the eyes. With a sudden drop of its head it looks back to Sam a moment taking guess as the parting leaf flies away "You are sick?" It questions at her respirations and breath. Very subtle inhales and exhales catching off tune gave way or clue to something being amis. "Are you in need of help?"

Sam_Seymour had indeed been more interested in watching the two.....and how they semed to be interacting...brought back suddenly to herself at the winds question.....her wown eyes dropping to her scared red raw flesh....." In a manner you could say I am....but I hope this to change not too far off....I am sorry if my appearance is not that which you expected"

Flash_Guardian gives an amused look as the leaf is freed from beneath his soles to fly through the air once more, at last placing his foot back on the floor. "Oh, uh ... thanks," he mutters softly before looking back to Sam and showing his own growing concerns for her.

Fx tilted its head like a lame dog being scolded in not knowing. "You have nothing that is displeasing to me. Tell me your illness though so that I might assist you." Curriously the creature turns fully and comes a step closer to her the flat of his chest broad before her.

[Lillia ] climbed the cliff, to get onto safe ground, wearing the same as she had the last time she was here, again she took shelter in the alcoove she had found yesterday and sat there on her own.

Sam_Seymour gaze goes from one to the other......." I....I have something contained within me...." she fingers a almost peeeled finger..." one that is cauing this to my body"

[Lillia ] sat there quite silent, looking at the others, then turned her head again. She began to realise just how lonely she had become

Flash_Guardian stands within the south wing of the dojo next to Sam and the airy being. He chooses to add to Sam's own words, embellishing on her explanation. "The thing inside her ... it has something we need. Perhaps once we acquire it it can be released." Flash look to Sam, as if to make certain his own statements are correct.

Fx stares silently. His eyes following her and biding their way across her slowly. His thoughts were of lepracy when he saw this but fungus or parasite were also bound in first thought. "Have you but one being in your body? " It asked silently trying to avoid question again or embarasment of her. Its words ment more of 'Are you possesed' not just meaning her soul inhabiting that one form. Slowly it would reach out placing hand to her should she allow. Its hand soft incredibly so, but also incredibly cold. Death perhaps? A dead leaf in the wind? Perhaps only the cool chill of the wind on flesh? No one person or mortal was known to know this and surely this being was not about to go granting its full entirity in being in setting only but a hand forth. "How long have you been of this?"

[Lillia ] Got up and curiously made her way to the three people standing there talking, she moved slowly, like some scared little girl

Sam_Seymour nods slowly to Flash..." It has indeed something we needed badly.....and once Flash has finished it will need to go ....I....my body can not contain it much longer....daily it battles and gains strength" she does not move by now any fear she would have had was long gone during thier whisperings....eyes closing sore swollen lids....

Flash_Guardian nods fervently. "You can understand my eagerness, I'm sure. I don't understand the processes involved exactly, but I do know this ... mortals were not meant to contain such beings. Sam has already shown tremendous inner strength in doing so for as long as she has. I'd just like to get it over with so we can move on and Sam here can get back to normal."

Fx would squat. "I must go. A grain of sand has fallen prey to idle waters and needs me once again. I shall return. I shall be back and may yet know of a few forms to hold your guest. For now..." The creature sniffs the air smelling perfume and intaking it as the creatures new smell "For now I shall go and aide my crop. For havest would mean death and none shall harvest that which is mine." Singly spouting a jump the creature is flung skywards with super humanly powers only to bound off as though some launched dart.

[Lillia ] Looks out of the alcove, noticing only two people there now, she gets up slowly and carefully makes her way towards them

Flash_Guardian watches as one being leaves, waving quickly to him and smiling politely. "Come again!" Once he's gone, Flash simply shakes his head in bewilderment. "Been a while since I've chatted with an elemental ... cryptic creatures they are, that's for sure." Flash chuckles just a little, preparing to ask Sam something before movement at the Dojo's entrance catches his eye ... a young girl has made her way to the dojo to enter slowly. "Oh. Hello," Flash greets her in pleasant surprise. "Welcome to Redfang."

[Lillia ] gets closer to them. Then has a series of horrible images of her hometown being burnt to the ground, and her parents being killed in front of her. She lets out a high pitched yelp and falls over only inches from the two other poeple

Sam_Seymour opens her eyes at the wind words.....noding her head but slightly in acknowledgement....before her eyes come to rest upon Flash now....." A friend I have made in the past few days....I hope you dont mind the invatation I gave before asking you" head moving to gaze over to see who Flash seemed to be talking to....though a look of somewhat surprise appears when the female yelps and falls..

[Lillia ] begins to cough up blood, as if she was being stabbed from inside her body, then knife marks appeared on her arms, legs and chest. "Ahh... No....Not.....Again....Leave me...Be....P-pleaaseee...Someone....Help...M-mee"

Flash_Guardian also is very startled by such a reaction, raising an eyebrow as he looks back to Sam. "I think you scared her," he jests, chuckling lightly as he makes his way over to the girl to kneel next to her and examine her. "All are welcome within the dojo, Sam ... even spirits and manifestations of the greater forces of the world. Just so long as they can behave themselves," he restates. As an afterthought, his head tilts to one side. "On second thought, perhaps the fire elementals should stay outside ..." Flash's jokes are interrupted by the girl as she cries and wounds spring up from nowhere. "Merciful Celestia!"

[Lillia ] "Mommy.....Daddy...Where.....Ar-are...you...Why...Are...You....Torturing me, leave me alone"

Sam_Seymour nods slowly her gaze returning to the female though there lingered upon those raw lips of hers a smile.....following Flash a pace or two behind standing beside the female ....." Perhaps she too contains something we can not see?"

[Lillia ] opens her eyes, and her glance reverts to flash, a male vioce is heard. "Kill her....She is an abomination!"

Flash_Guardian does all that he can think of to do at this moment, bring his hands up to his chest, palms facing inward and closing his eyes. "Be still, little one ... I shall aid you. Do not be afraid." A deep breath is taken, bringing a whitish glow to surround his gentle hands. Slowly he brings those empowered hands down to the girl's form, hands reaching slowly to touch her on her arm and stomach. Should they indeed make contact, Flash would exhale and release the gathered chi into her, spirit energy racing through her to heal her wounds, its warmth closing them and restoring the girl's vitality.

Fx whisps back in after resolving something. His feet forming on the sands of the beach again after being flown in.

[Lillia ] wakes up, she sighs softely "Where am I?"

Sam_Seymour watches quietly her brows knitting ....sooo this is another skill of the males.....most definetly a magic user of some sort ....looking up her eyes scan over the land now....letting the male do his healing yet staying close by not that she would be able to help healing was not her path.....glancing back to the two as the female speaks once more yet it seems more sense then before....a smile suddenly appearing as she hears the softness of whispers familiar to her

Flash_Guardian speaks to the girl now, retracting his hands and examining her, though his eyes dart from one side to the other after hearing what sounded like a threatening male voice come from somewhere. "You are on Redfang Island. And, more importantly, you are safe now." Flash gives the girl a reassuring smile before he rises, offering the girl a hand to help her stand. "I would show you about this place, but I'm afraid Sam and I have some urgent business which cannot wait any longer. For now, just make yourself at home as best you may. Others may be along shortly. My name is Flash. If there's anything I can do for you, just let me know."

[Lillia ] "I want to come with you.....Please. If that happens again, I may die...Please you must take me with you. I promise I will not slow you down?"

Flash_Guardian lets out a tense breath, his expression pained as he looks back to Sam. "It's really not up to me, I'm afraid ... and besides, where Sam and I are about to go may not be best for you." He glances sidelong at the girl, frowning. "You seem to be haunted well enough already. Following us may only make matters worse." His frown now fades back into a smile. "But don't worry! I won't be too far off, and should be back once all this mess is over."

Raeyon appears out of nowhere over the heads of the small group with a loud CRACK, unconscious and unaware as he plummets toward the ground. Another object can be seen falling but at this distance it is nothing more than a reflection of light in the sky.

[Lillia ] "Please...You must take me...Please I beg, I don't wanna be on my own again" Looks to the other girl "Please can I come with you.. Please?"

Sam_Seymour shakes her head softly mostly to herserlf then to answer the female....turning.....taking steps covering the short distance to where her back pack laid....reaching down as fingers grip the leather strap to swing it up.....moaning as the pack rubs and pressuriases her flesh....quickly letting it drop away from her...a sigh escaping those lips with the sudden relief letting the pack instead swing at her side....head lifting as she lets Flash deal with the female....catching sight of something falling from the sky eyes narrowing somewhat as she watches it's progress

Fx sighed softly hovering above ground yet walking all the same to the complex as he had once been in with the company. He comes slowly to Sam and starts aback what went unfinished when he had left at request of a whispering wind. "Have you need to bare such burdens?" It softly continues with the voice of a child whispering so subtly about the being of a mans lips. "I have body do I not and before you had talked to me of sharing myself. I do so now. Grant my my sharing to save you from a rising tide of which treatens to cut your breath. Grant me your other half. The stone weighing down your sandy form."

Flash_Guardian grimaces, Sam's own reaction doing little to help him decide what is best to do. At length, he shakes his head in surrender. "Alright. You can come along. But ... be careful." That is all the warning Flash can give, as even he does not know what to expect from here on out. He looks to Sam now, nodding to her and eying her pack.

Sam_Seymour watches the object from the sky pummet earthward and disappear into the trees etc of the forest....head turning as the wind is suddenly there....." Have I need.....for the persent I do....and I dare not pass it along for the creature is but a lesser of evils....and something I would not give to another willingly....no matter the pain and damage I have" glancing over her shoulder at Flash wondering if he had noticed the object plummeting in the forest...

Flash_Guardian apparently did not catch it, for he simply returns the look blankly. He does eye her pack with a growing smirk. "I see a stone that I can carry, at least," he says reaching out to snatch for her bag and throw it over his own shoulder, grinning.

Fx shrugs softly and indiscretely says. "Then bare me it or I shall take it. You are in no condition to be of purest natures and seek out a wind when you are as sunk in the tides as a stone. Bare it to me that I might not have to worry so oh summoner of whispering winds." With that he holds out a single hand and looks to it before loking alos up to ther face the soft palm abristle with tiny fibrous hais in goosebumped patches. "Bear me your pain."

[Lillia ] "I know it will be dangerous, at least I can resolve what went wrong in my past. That is the main reason I wish to come with you. And I don't wanna be alone. If I have to fight, then I will" She looks at Flash as she says this. "Oh dear. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Lillia, and yours are?"

Flash_Guardian nods to Lillia. "So be it. And, as I said, call me Flash."

[Lillia ] She looks at flash, and manages to break a smile, she seems to be happy to have a friend like Flash "Thank you"

Sam_Seymour almost yanks the pack back from Flash's grasps.....her breath catching sharply at the action....eyes glaring into his locked onto them....before almost as if forcing herself she lets it slip through her fingers if Flash but knew it some sort of barrier....a trust had just been displayed in that simple release.....eyes lingering on him a few seconds before her attention goes to Fx.....his words touching her....." My condition was by my own choosing.....I was aware of some....if not all of what could have happened....." her gaze dropping to the offered hand......lingering there as she blinks thinking of his words

Flash_Guardian is caught off guard, eyes wide as he stands with gaze locked back upon Sam's ... but eventually she concedes the pack to him. A warm smile comes across his lips, him standing there simply holding the bag for a moment. It was rather forward of him to grab for something that does not belong to him ... for now, he simply hefts it over his shoulder, hanging onto the strap with one hand, keeping it in place there. "Whenever you're ready, Sam."

Fx sighs softly. His free hand coming up to part hair from his face and tuck it behind an ear so the emerald eyes would be shone to her and only her. This was faith in extreme. She knew it pained him to show himself as being but more so as a face and a value. This was a great deal of trust. Looking down to his hand again he grants only her the vision of a smile. "Leaves in the wind, without them the wind is without form. without face. The wind itself feels no pain save the pains of encroaching waters haughtily trying to steal away its sands." It thinks she understands its point, but for further measure it adds "You are but no wind, thouhg you talk in and of and to one your are naught. You pain. Give me that which you know I cannot." Its smile softens and again the other hand reaches up freeing hair back to its viel about his face.

Sam_Seymour eyes lift to gaze back into the trust of the wind.......yes she knew this trust....shown in acknowledgement in her eyes as she looks back..for a moment unsure what she should do.....something unusual for others to witness ....." I ........" her head turns as she looks at Flash waiting patinectly for her to go into action....." It is not in me to give so much pain to aother.....escpecally one that I have come to look upon as a friend....I know what it is to see another suffer that you care about and I can not bestow that upon you my friend.....".

Flash_Guardian smiles in a bittersweet sort of way at Sam's nobility, not wanting to bestow her burdens upon another even in the face of such a giving and convincing argument. Flash had himself considered taking the spirit upon himself if it would ease things, but somehow he had a feeling she would not accept such an offer. Seems he would have been right. "Very kind of you, Sam. If nothing else, let's get this overwith and be rid of the creature once and for all. Then there will be no further need for such arguments."

Fx looks to the man and questioningly holds a hand up outstreatched before him in the direction of the mans chest. "Wait. Waht is this you mean to say?"

Heyuka_Seisioko Falls from the ground hitting the ground,As he hits the ground the earth shakes and caves in all around him.Starts to stand up his blade hits right next to him as he stands up fully his hair frolics in his face,A shadow casting on his face as he stands there soulless.Takes a step putting his hand on the blades handle pulling it out,Seaths his blade with another step.The wind picks up moving his hair moving the shadow away form his face as he looks up around the room.Heads over to Fx crossing his arms over his chest letting a sigh out." You wanted to see me i guess".

[Sam_Seymour ] " Flash knows the creature that I hold within me.....but as he says....hopefuly soon after maybe today if he is satisfied it will no longer be there and then it will be my body alone that will need the soothing of healing.." taking a deep breath....she had prepared everything they should need over these last few days of being on the island....her hand or whatever passed for it to rest lightly on her jacket pocket....yes the last was collected yesteday before the attack....

[Heyuka_Seisioko ] Falls from the ground hitting the ground,As he hits the ground the earth shakes and caves in all around him.Starts to stand up his blade hits right next to him as he stands up fully his hair frolics in his face,A shadow casting on his face as he stands there soulless.Takes a step putting his hand on the blades handle pulling it out,Seaths his blade with another step.The wind picks up moving his hair moving the shadow away form his face as he looks up around the room.Heads over to Fx crossing his arms over his chest letting a sigh out.Arching his shoulders up as he breathes in,Looks around to the others then back to Fx" So you wanted to see me i pressume".

[Heyuka_Seisioko ] ahhhh why is it still whiteF****ing thing

Flash_Guardian looks back at the pointed hand of the wind being, then into its face knowingly. Before he can explain, Sam does a fine enough job on her own.

Heyuka_Seisioko Falls from the ground hitting the ground,As he hits the ground the earth shakes and caves in all around him.Starts to stand up his blade hits right next to him as he stands up fully his hair frolics in his face,A shadow casting on his face as he stands there soulless.Takes a step putting his hand on the blades handle pulling it out,Seaths his blade with another step.The wind picks up moving his hair moving the shadow away form his face as he looks up around the room.Heads over to Fx crossing his arms over his chest letting a sigh out.Arching his shoulders up as he breathes in,Looks around to the others then back to Fx" So you wanted to see me i pressume".

Sam_Seymour blinks at Hey's sudden appearance remembering him as the young child upon the stairs.....

Heyuka_Seisioko Glances over to Sam and studies her body and nods his head lightly " Nice to meet you again".

Fx nods slightly. "You seem as though you need training. Perhaps this place of sorts may serve as your catalyst to such an event of warcrafts?" The wind then speaks back to Flash "Do you train here? I see or should think I see a way of graning you a person for the room you wished to give me earlier."

Sam_Seymour nods though she cant help but smile seeing that it seems the childs confidence had grown ten foldsince they last spoke.....a little child lost and forlorn he had seemed then...not so now....glancing between the two she nods..." It seems you have things to sort yourself my fair wind......let us part now til later when both are better suited to such..." taking a step back from the samll group

Flash_Guardian notes a slight tremor nearby as another figure falls from the sky, one whom he thinks he recognizes uncertainly. As he approaches, Flash studies him carefully. Between the stranger's appearance and the wind's words, Flash seems slightly confused but does his best to answer. "Yes, this is a place of training for combat and skills of fighting. I not only train here myself, I hope to teach as well. I have a handful of students, but their attendance has become erratic as of late." He eyes Sam, clearly wanting to take his leave as well, and indeed he follows her with a backward step of his own. "Again, welcome to Redfang island. I guess that goes for both of you," Flash says, looking from Heyuka to Wind politely.

Heyuka_Seisioko Glances over to Flash" ahh ok ".

Fx nods to Flash "Then you have a new student. Take him in my place for room and for a training. I will see to it you are repaid for the time."

Sam_Seymour swallows softly nodding to Flash .....waiting fro him now to complete his business with both the wind and the child....for she will see Hey as such for a while yet...she could still feel hear the soft whispers that had given her heart a left each time she had needed such a thing....

Flash_Guardian mouths wordlessly for a time, rather startled by the unexpected turn. "I ... umm ... alright, certainly," he agrees, turning to address Heyuka politely. "You are welcome to train here, and I will do my best to teach you what I know when I can." Then, to the windy spirit, "There is no need for repayment ... as I said you are both welcome here, and he is welcome to learn from me so long as he is willing. I have never been one to turn down any kind of generosity, however. The decision is up to you." Flash now places an arm at his side, still clutching the handstrap as he bows with as much formality as he can due to the pack over his shoulder. He holds the bow for a moment, at last straightening before moving to follow Sam. "Lead on," he tells her softly with a grin.

Heyuka_Seisioko Looks around then to Flash replying " Thnx Flash".Bows lightly

Fx nods to a soft whisper hidden in the winds. His motions cease there and he becomes but a breeze letting his body contort and fall to the floor. The wind will have need of no such things and soon the body is whisked away by strong gusts sending it far from here to the hiding place of whence it last resided.

[Heyuka_Seisioko ] im sorry but i must leave i will talk to you guys later ok see yeah sam thnx for the invitation flash and Fx

Sam_Seymour gasps a deep breath letting it out almost immediatly her eyes closing for a moment as if she had lost something of importance.......yet had she how would anyone know for she would not tell by uttered words....yet even though the body seems not there still she feels the soft touches of the breeze upon her....calming her mind if nothing else....a nod of her head just barely....a galnce to Flash before turning as she walks into the forest....towards the stream where she bathed....a ground she had come to know

Flash_Guardian looks to Sam with some concern, watching her curiously and glancing about as the wind being vanishes. Flash grins just a little, feeling like perhaps said being hadn't gone far ... in any case, he keeps close to Sam all the way to said stream. "Sorry," Flash would tell her en route, sounding slightly regretful. "Didn't mean to be so forward earlier, with your pack. I think I just got tired of seeing you wince every time this thing shifted on your back."

Sam_Seymour nods sideglancing to him......" I......it...." she nods.....stopping once the stream had been reached......and then taking the pack from him as raw fingers open it.....pulling out a leather bound small box...crouching down as she does so the pack balanced between her knees.....glancing up to him.." I should explain something to you most I think you probably have guessed at if not fully know....but that time Viimz and I talked....he refused and my instructions was to do what I could to get him to talk....as he would not do so physically I had to....." whilst she talked she had begin pulling pouches and silken wraped items from her pack....

Flash_Guardian relinquishes the pack and crouches near her, listening and nodding. "I had assumed as much. As I may have said earlier, I'm not certain about your methods ... but as long as it works and we get what we need, that's all that matters in the end, right?" Flash gives Sam a helpful grin before other thoughts, questions that have been plaguing him since the day before return to him. "So, how is this going to work? I just ask him ... ask you questions? Is there anything I need to do? And, more importantly, what questions would you have me ask?"

Sam_Seymour sighs softly " Find other means......and one reason I had been chosen from the sisterhood was that I could be trusted to do this....and able to....shall we say contain a peice of essence of Viimz within me.....in this emm way I could question the imp....strain out the lies from the trueth..he is....stronger then either I or Famana thought..and he has already once I think nearly broke away......yesterday..some is a blank to me but not all.." she nods now....opening each wraped item ..revealing a silver bowel deeply runed....opening the leather box she removes two vials holding each to the light before empting them into the bowl.." This is the blood of a hanged man...taken at midnight....some things your ......emm Dev saids is true it seems....though we dont dance around naked like most think..." another vial is added...." Blood of a cat...." she removes the onyx handled knife and with its tip she mixes the two...soft mutterings as she does so.....and then from her jacket pocket she takes the pouch

Sam_Seymour then pinch by pinch adds it to the misture already in the bowel..words of galic mixed with those of the old lanagae of pict can be heard here and there....when this is done she dips a cloth into it watching as the cloth soaks in the misture and taking her knife she runs the cloth over the blade of the kriss knife......the liquid seeping into the carved runes markings....before her mutterings stops and she looks at him again..." Ask him what you want to know...of Glynis or anything else....he will answer mostly truefully for he can not not answer you whilst in me..."

Flash_Guardian watches the process curiously, intrigued to see the the workings of a far different kind of magic than that which he practices. A smile comes to his face, and even a hint of light laughter. "I know what you mean. There are many forms of mystical forces in existence, and many different ways to harness them. Some do so through ancient books and archaic writings. Some do it through mixtures of special ingredients and proper chants. And some of us just 'use' it ... as if it were just another part of ourselves." Flash shrugs. "But to those who don't understand the ways of the arcane, their fear brings them to come up with all kinds of misleading assumptions ..."

Flash_Guardian ceases abruptly as Sam's proceedings finish, nodding and thinking quickly. His eyes narrow as the first question comes to his mind. "Why did you first come to this island?"

Sam_Seymour burst out laughing at Flash......the first ever Flash had heard....." Not yet my hasty friend.....a containg circle needs to be drawn hence the knife...." stepping away she on knees draws about her a cricle the blade of the knife digging deep into the ground scaring it.....next she looks to the sky as she unwraps another bowel.....placing it northly....a silver stilletto knife is placed beneth the bowel...her onyx one beside it......within the bowel she places the smoky black crystal....before leaning back and sitting cross legged she nods to Flash...." Now you ask..."

Flash_Guardian rubs at the back of his neck, grinning awkwardly. "Oh. Right." He steadies himself, taking his own seat next to Sam and looking to her. "Viimz, for what reason did you come to this island?" A simple question, really, posed more to satisfy Flash's own curiousity than anything else, as well as testing the spell somewhat.

Sam_Seymour slowly smiles....raw lips pulled back.....as almost coal black eyes look into his...." Master wants.....yous alls.....knows minds of Glynisssss" black spittle spraying out between each word.....dribbling down her chin....dripping onto cloth....hissing and burning a trail...

Flash_Guardian narrows his eyes. 'So Viimz was sent here on his master's bidding,' he thinks. "And what do you know of Glyniss? Where is she? How is she?" Flash hadn't expected to ask those questions so soon, but as they are closest to his heart perhaps it couldn't have been helped.

Sam_Seymour laughs......or what passed for one.....rolling her shoulders a little before asnswering...." Shes hurst bads.....nos thumb has shes....bounds is shes byes strongers then steels...." a hand lifts its raw fingers seeming longer...bent out of shape to form talons....as she runs her its tips over her wide smiling mouth...." Sewed is shes......" laughing " nos nows singings shes cans does....toys is shes of master"

Sam_Seymour taloned fingertip taps her head....." Minds plays master does....soundless is shes fors alls times nows...nots prettys birds song"

Flash_Guardian can actually be seen shivering slightly as Viimz speaks through Sam about Glyniss's condition, gasping and completely horrified. He shuts his eyes, biting his lip and turning his head away as he does his best to steady himself so he can ask the most important question of all. Eyes open again and he looks back to Sam, eyes burning with fierce intensity. "Where is Glyniss now?"

Sam_Seymour chuckles as her taloned hands are rubbed together seemingly delighted in the reaction of Flash....." In cages is shes with masters...theres fors his pleasures...alives til masters wants nos mores.....greats funs shes gives hims yesss....." nodding now " funes shes is in hers pains.."

Flash_Guardian interrupts the demon's speech, fist pounding suddenly at the ground beside him. "Where is your master? Where does he make his home, and how can we get there?" The fires in Flash's eyes seem to intensify, fueled by the rising ire towards this demon and his mater.

[Flash_Guardian ] **master, even.

Sam_Seymour sighs softly as another blister seems to grow yet already upon flesh that had erupted ...the black swirling liquid easily seen filling it slowly...

Flash_Guardian eyes the blister cautiously, bring his arms up to shield his face, his cape draping around him just slightly in case something unexpected should happen. "Answer me," he demands rigidly.

Sam_Seymour jerks back at the pounding of the fist.....obvously Viimz even where he was was getting great joy in causing Flash pain......." Mas......masters...ons planes of Numin....ooooous" Sam back becomes stiff...a ripple clearly travelling like a wave over it.....as the skin suddenly erupts..sending its acidic blackness over everything close by.....burning into her as it hits her body travelling downwards....to pool...another forming..she shifts.....a ripping of cloth sounding in the air

Flash_Guardian 's breathing seems to quicken pace as the tension builds ... something is clearly happening to Sam as a result of the spell. He bites his lip, trying quickly to determine if he needs any more information, unsure as to how much more of this Sam can take. "Your master's name," Flash says quietly. "What is it?"

Veromem began to appear a few yards from where Flash and Sam were, but not by intention of any means. The golden rings slowly rose as he began to appear, but went faster and faster until he appeared, the flash of light indicating he was now officially on the island, and was in time to hear something burst which made his eyebrows raise. He slowly made his way towards the sounds, blinking at what he saw before he made his way over to Flash as he looks at Sam but stays silent for now

Sam_Seymour deep coal eyes look back at him intently......her lips pulling back into a sneer....as she hisses at him the black spittle spraying in his direction....another blister that had formed...bursting sending its vile acid outwards...arching and showering her crossed legs hissing and whiffs of smoke rising as jeans are burnt mingled with the flesh beneath.......as one word is spit out..." Haborym" the ripping..tearing of cloth stilling....as tips of wings begin to emerge...

Fx hisses in the distance, a spiral of whinds forming lightly around the circle on the groumd.

Flash_Guardian rolls back away from the burst of vile spittle, shielding himself with his cape, most of the acid running harmlessly off the cape to the ground below. "That's enough, Sam! That's all we need, right? Let it go!" Flash rises quickly to his feet, unaware as yet of Veromem's approach as he flicks his wrists, sending the last of the vile substance coating his cape to the ground to further hiss and steam.

Veromem also rolled away from the goo that Sam was emmitting, making sure none of it got onto him again as he stood quickly and looked at her with narrowed eyes, wondering who the hell this Haborym character was, and also wondering why the black crap was flying around with the greatest of ease

Veromem shall be here for a little bit, get off, then return

Sam_Seymour taloned hand reaches for the smoky crystal in the bowel....another for the onyx knife.....shaking hands hesatating as if fighting within herself.....green rimed dark eyes look to Flash.....clasping around the crystal bringing it closer as....her throat retches......as she splatters.......a hand rising eyes dropping to each of the items in her hand.....wings begin to slowly emerge....a tip of a tail can be seen weaving its way between her knee.....as she rises her hand to aiming the knife to crystal missing it as she hisses madly......black ooze suddenly gushing out of her wide open mouth coating the object she held.......as she hand moving sheonce more arms for the crystal

Flash_Guardian watches the woman's transformation, her inner struggle quickly turning to an outer one. He winces at the first retching of dark fluids, but seeing what Sam is trying to do Flash quickly comes to her aid, grabbing hold of her hands and helping her to steady them as he kneels upon the ichor-stained ground next to her. Flash's own eyes look back to hers, confident and encouraging. "If you can't do it, I will. Come on, Sam!"

Cannon appears. Theres no flashy pyrotechnics. No noise. No display at all. One moment nothing, and the next he is there. Done with recharging he quickly assesses the situation, sensing an innate urgency about the present atmosphere. One look at Sam tells him that this certainly shouldn't be happening. A quick scan indicates the hostile presence within her system getting severely out of control. A filter extraction may be necessary.

Cannon starts whatever he was planning to do by placing one hand on the air before him. Various flickers of patterned green light occur, then that same sensation felt last when he encountered the demonic entity in the woods before: Its a buffer purge... a neutralisation of all near-surface acidic substances within the vicinity.

Sam_Seymour almost yanks herself away from Flash......eyes glaring darkly at him as both knife and crystal meet...........the galic pict muttering .....as her body heaves head dropping down as she slumps forwards into the pool of black ooze or into Flash......and lies still......seconds pass before she hisses softly the wings falling limp over her body.....before vanishing

Flash_Guardian struggles with Sam for a moment as the crystal is struck, then moves to catch her and hold her upright against him as whatever magics were at work slowly subside. For now, he just holds her carefully, glancing back over his shoulder at the familiar sensation of a purge taking effect, smiling appreciatively at Cannon. "It's over," he mutters softly, letting out a greatly relieved breath. "Good work, Sam."

Veromem just watches in stunned silence as all of this happens, wondering what the hell is going on until Sam vanishes, his eyes darting to Flash as he shakes his head softly at all of this, pulling out a cigarette and lighting it before he took a long drag of it, knowing it was too early for this

Cannon glances to Flash and nods in return, then looks more closely at Sam. "Hmm. The damage done seems quite extensive. . . . Flash, forgive me if I'm wrong here, but you seem a little depleted also. Is there another who can heal her condition? I believe it may be beyond my capabilities now."

Sam_Seymour opens her eyes now emerald green head lifting.....before nodding just staying still as she regains both strength and composure.......her brows softly knitting as she realises that others were actually here.....

Fx 's voice hums to life about Sams head again, but a subtle breeze no doubt in the oceans left from such contact.

Flash_Guardian now realizes that he's actually holding Sam in his arms, half expecting her to protest or push him away ... but until she does, he continues to hold her, grinning somewhat awkwardly at her and the others. "We got what we needed. I have a bit of healing left in me. What I have will have to be good enough for now, I suppose. With Viimz gone, Sam will recover." Flash now looks over the acid-devastated and scorched surroundings, then peers over to the stream nearby. "Don't suppose you'd fancy a dip in the stream after all that? I know I wouldn't mind a bit of a soak myself." Flash's smile is one of genuine appreciation, as well as admiration.

Cannon frowns. "If I wasn't having troubles of my own I could take her back to the Lab for full repair. Theres no chance of that at the present though."

Cannon makes the minor aftercomment: "I suspect there will be many scars left though, judging by the nature of the damage done."

Sam_Seymour smiles a hand rising to stroke at the wind....a friend close by and a welcomed one at that...." I have been bathing here each morning to ease the sores and pain....." though she still leans against him thankful for his aid.....and added strength..

Veromem takes another drag of his cigarette as he looks over the three of them, shaking his head softly again before he looks at the sky "I'm getting too old for this s***"

Cannon lowers his head. "Anyway. I have further work to do on the extractor and the Hamlin Beacon .... I will need some assistance in a few short days.

Flash_Guardian nods grimly at Cannon's comments. "Some wounds never heal. Your bathing and that skin cream I gave you should help, though." Flash isn't letting go while she would cling to him. To Cannon, he nods. "Right. Hopefully you'll be able to catch me later on when I have a free moment."

Cannon nods in return. Leaning closer to Flash he comments: "I doubt that woman would be coming back here of her own accord, so I'm setting up a device I've called the 'Hamlin Beacon' in order to subconsciously draw her here. If I can then get her temporailly immobilised then I can proceed with tests as quickly as possible to solve our little problem.

Cannon straightens up. He has said enough. That done he heads back to his curious private little spot in the woods where he was setting up subtle devices inconspicuously in trees. Its a hard task even for one like him, which explains why its taking so many days.

[Flash_Guardian ] "A good plan," Flash comments idly. From where he sits, he begins to focus, bring his hands out in front of him, palms resting upward. Slowly he inhales, closing his eyes as he musters what healing chi remains at his disposal, his hands outlined brightly with soft white light, then bringing them to rest upon Sam's shoulder's lightly to release his healing spirit energy into her. The energy should invigorate Sam, closing any open wounds she bears and healing them over quickly. Any old scars or raw skin should fade slightly, leaving only what would appear to be more of a nasty rash in places.

Sam_Seymour sighs softly.....glad at least to have the burden lifted.....gone from her...yet she felt a little empty....even though it had been a short period of time each minute had seemed to be a struggle not just with Viimz but with those around her keeping her .....goal to herself having almost as much relief to it being in the open then actually having rid of the creature....." Emm.....are we all going to sit here.....do a communine bath.....orrooor...." falling silent as she snenses Flash begining to gather....surge with magic of a sort......his hands upon her shoulders as she lets him continue....giving her flesh time to accept his magic and work upon it

Flash_Guardian lets his spirit energy wash over Sam, not quite healing her to the way she should be, but certainly making her condition a lot more bearable. When it's all overwith, Flash himself seems very exhausted, sweat glistening on his forehead and breathing deeply. "The stream is ... all yours," Flash tells her, nodding slightly. "I'll find a place to wash up somewhere else." Flash's eyes are half-lidded now from his efforts.

Fx fades from existance of essence here as Sam is no longer here.
