Posted by Kywyn on 05-26-04 11:57 PM: Some clouded night, not too long ago Even before reaching the cemetery, Kywyn readies himself. Using chalk runes, he focuses the body channeling to bolster his aura with false life as a safeguard and has escape routes in mind if things do not go as planned. Kywyn walks into the graveyard from elsewhere in the city. He debated what to wear to this encounter but decided to stick with the off-white apparel he has worn lately rather than a darker option. Before coming here, Kywyn assuaged NaShae's concerns about meeting a stranger who seems to want a sporting duel of some sort, telling her he did not think there was a real danger... yet. The choice of time and place was also Kywyn's, making the rendezvous more of an exercise in observation than anything else. Arriving as soon as night falls, Kywyn steps into the older part of the cemetery where the roots run deep and dark. He surveys the area and sends a psychic missive into the Avowed web, not certain if anyone is listening or if his message is strong enough to be heard. "Someone is coming. He seems to have information, and a vendetta which indirectly involves me somehow. Watch him if you can, what he is like, what he is about. Never know if it may be useful." Kywyn walks away from this portion of the cemetery to a central location with more space, expecting his rival to pop out of any shadow. His darkvision allows him to scan the area for possible lurkers while he keeps his back to a tall statue. "Guo-guo. Why do you bother with him?" Hex the frog chirps from a hidden spot on Kywyn's pack, "He is a shadow." "No substance, right?" Kywyn whispers, "You might be wrong. I don't know. I almost see a bit of something familiar in his rage. Was I ever that far gone?" __________________ "The world is a lie. The lines depend on who does the drawing -- and who does the seeing."

He lowers his gaze and immediatly darts off into the shadows of the tombstones, statues, and tombs that litter the place of death. Kai calmly and lightly moves through the graveyard hidden and silent. Backing up into a tree, the elf slowly draws both swords. For a moment he stands still and listens to the light breeze before making his move deeper into the graveyard. .oO( He's already here...I feel it.) The masked elf crouches down behind a tomb when he comes to a part of the graveyard with a tall statue and open space for just a duel. Kai keep both of his swords and his side under the tattered cloak just in case a his swords feel like giving him a way with a reflection of light. .oO( This area would be my first choice.) Narrowing his eyes the elf scans the area while hidden away. Pain shoots up through his head as he clenches his jaw after catching sight of Kywyn's head just around the corner of the statue. Smiling from under the mask, the elf slowly moves from his crouched position closer to the statue. .oO( You may have heard me before, but it will not happen again.) __________________ Anger is a signal, and one worth listening to. --Harriet Lerner Kai--An elf who has embraced the evil within himself.

Just as Kywyw's head turns towards him Kai leans forward and dashes in for the attack. His tattered cloak flails in the dark as he leaps up into the air and comes crashing down on Kywyn, longsword held above his head. Lets see how fast you really are! The elfs longsword slashes through the air, ready to taste Kywyn's blood. Kai slightly turns the blade to it side making sure he avoids his opponents vitals. .oO( Honor...right.) __________________ Anger is a signal, and one worth listening to. --Harriet Lerner Kai--An elf who has embraced the evil within himself.

Posted by Kywyn on 05-27-04 06:25 PM: His eyes take in all the available light on this clouded night and then some, letting Kywyn see into the dark. "Where are you?" he asks in his head. When Kai makes his rush, Kywyn spots the motion a bit too late. "Quick one." Kywyn just barely manages to get a circling arm up; the bracer and gauntlet armoring deflect the blade into the statue behind Kywyn. Nonetheless, the strain shoves Kywyn to the side. Hopping back and atop a headstone, Kywyn shifts his hands into a defensive position as he utters a mantra of invulnerability. His will solidifies into a shield around him. Kywyn shakes his battered arm and adjusts the elbow guard. "Hello," he mutters softly, his voice carried on the cemetery wind. "I don't know what you consider a friendly fight, but that was cutting a bit close, eh?" __________________ "The world is a lie. The lines depend on who does the drawing -- and who does the seeing."

His off-hand is kept beneath his cloak to hide the shortsword. I was confident that you would deflect the attack... Kai slightly tilts his head, the scarf already in disarray from his last attack. I suppose I'm testing you...maybe the same way your testing me. A light gust of wind passes through the graveyard just as Kai lowers the longsword from his shoulder.

Kywyn lets a dark charge wash over his gloved hands. He holds his palms out before him in a ready stance. "As a whole becomes a part... I strike to burn." Thus imbued, the hands become fists. The dim blue hue just barely illuminates the shadows of his face. Kywyn stays perched on the gravestone like a creme-colored bird. __________________ "The world is a lie.

Finally, Kai brings the blade close to his masked face catching a refection of light. Using the speed that so well served him, Kai moves in with a cross-slash to the chest. At the same moment Kai bring up the shortsword hidden beneath the tattered cloak with a second slash. Come on! Give me a battle that I'll remember! __________________ Anger is a signal, and one worth listening to. --Harriet Lerner Kai--An elf who has embraced the evil within himself.

Posted by Kywyn on 05-28-04 04:57 AM: "He's really out of control," Kywyn broods while watching the metal skull mask zip closer. Jumping back off the headstone and away from Kai's longsword, Kywyn is surprised by the appearance the second blade. Luckily, it fails to penetrate his abjuration aura and is diverted. Kywyn does his best to parry the barrage of slashes with his armored forearms and shins. One slash nicks Kywyn on the lower jaw yet no blood is drawn as his aura of ersatz vitality assimilates the cut. "Do you have a name? Or was that sold as well?" Not looking like he felt anything, Kywyn takes the opportunity to reach out with a twisting, azure-tinted palm to just touch Kai's attacking arm while skip-stepping to the right at a lowered slant. __________________ "The world is a lie.

With his attacking arm gone limp, Kai take two quick leaps back and come to a skidding halt. Not bad. The elf straightens out and calmly rotates his shoulder until feeling sets back in. He tilts his head from left to right making a loud cracking sound, then raises both blades and readies himself for the next series of attacks. My name is Kai...that still belongs to me.

"I'm not telling you much you don't already know or couldn't find out on your own." Kywyn starts forward slowly but with incresing acceleration. "What are you after?" He initiates a sharp, right roudhouse kick aimed to throw Kai off balance before bending out with a pressing open hand to again siphon into his stamina reserves. __________________ "The world is a lie.

He lashes back with a two slash counterattack before taking a few more leaps back. Nothing from you...at the moment. You know, I've spoken more words to you in a day than I have in a year to any other person. I wonder why. Shrugging, he leaps back foward and whips his longsword around. After the attack Kai returns to taking quick steps backwards while attempting to avoid any of Kywyn's. __________________ Anger is a signal, and one worth listening to. --Harriet Lerner Kai--An elf who has embraced the evil within himself.

Posted by Kywyn on 05-28-04 03:50 PM: The elf's blades are turned by Kywyn's force of will and his gauntlets raised into an X-formation. The last counter forces Kywyn into a lower crouch as he feels the wrenching in his shoulders from the power of the attack. Kywyn grasps out with a hand as Kai retreats a step and then pursues to assail with a circular, flowing swipe of another palm to just tag the shoulder. "Maybe because I'm like you. I know what you're thinking, 'No one is like me.' I think the same thing. But I've found thought and belief are different animals." "So what? They all team up on you because you're different, because they don't understand where you're coming from. You didn't ask for any of this, you were just born into this world like the rest. And the reaction is to lash out at them, the self-righteous, blind saps that can't see anything more." Somehow incensed, Kywyn continues in a blur of beige and metal in the darkness, trying to stay clear of the deadly long and short swords while contacting with Kai. "If reality is an estimate made by our senses and beliefs, what separates you from me? Because you wear a mask to hide your face and 'sold your soul for revenge'? You say there is nothing left, but what if there's nothing to begin with?" Kywyn's form becomes more serene, though he still presses forward among the forest of blades. He kicks at the shadow and pounces forward to shove with his open hands. "We're all just particles and waves." __________________ "The world is a lie.

Still on the retreat, Kai quickly looks to his side to see whether they have finally made it to the destination he's been leading Kywyn too. Rows of tombs and statues litter the place, almost perfect for him to use his better abilities. Your like me? I think you may assume too much. Kywyn's last attack finds its mark knocking Kai into a gravestone. With a grunt Kai leans foward and steadies himself. The elf steps back with his right foot and begins to dig into the dirt. Now, lets see how well this tactic works. Kai pivots off his right foot and dashes foward at his opponent with all his speed. With his longsword, Kai strike out as he passes by Kywyn. __________________ Anger is a signal, and one worth listening to. --Harriet Lerner Kai--An elf who has embraced the evil within himself.

Posted by Kywyn on 05-28-04 08:43 PM: Spinning to keep facing Kai as he darts past, Kywyn pirouettes on one leg. Nonetheless, Kai's sword traces a thin line on Kywyn's collarbone. Again, no blood is seen and Kywyn continues forward like a relentless zombie. "Perhaps..." "If you are nothing but hatred and that mask, maybe the merciful thing to do would be to put an end to your existence. Right? That might solve everyone's problems, including yours." Parrying the bladed retorts that come his way as best he can, Kywyn jumps over a tomb to keep the pressure on his adversary. Spotting a random rock in the dark, Kywyn punts it at Kai to distract him. Rushing forward now, Kywyn springboards off a headstone and flies at Kai with his right arm extended in a ridge-hand clothesline. "What are you fighting?" __________________ "The world is a lie.

The elf slashes at the incoming rock but is caught off guard with the human's clothesline. Taking all of the force from the attack, Kai is slammed to the dirt. Steadily, he makes he was back to his feet. I cannot die just yet...there is too much left undone. The last attack takes some effect on the elf as he tries to slow his breathing. Shaking his head, he pivots off his right foot and dashes in for another flurry of piercing attacks. The time of my death may come sooner than you think. My enemies are powerful and many...it would be a surprise if I survived them. Kai launches a blur of sword as he strikes out. If you turn out to be another enemy of mine...than death is certain. __________________ Anger is a signal, and one worth listening to. --Harriet Lerner Kai--An elf who has embraced the evil within himself.

Posted by Kywyn on 05-29-04 08:33 PM: After the collision with Kai, Kywyn lands on his armored knees and then down to his stomach on the ground. Flipping over on his back, he coils his legs, then a Lunatic's Frog Leap to his feet in a kippup. "..." Kywyn's shield of willpower and his defensive bracers turn away Kai's offending strokes. However, the masked elf's last arcing strike does crash into Kywyn's gauntlet heavily, clubbing the dark-haired man sideways several steps. "If this is a test, how good are you at range?" he relates quietly to alter the subject momentarily. Kywyn backpedals lightly and then turns to dash over a pair of tombstones until he is about twenty feet away from the hunting Kai. Kywyn stops abruptly and holds a receiving stance with indigo-tinted hands at chest level, fingers and thumbs touching in a triangle.

Still on the move, he draws a dagger from inside his cloak and launches it at Kywyn. After throwing the dagger he reaches down and pulls the longsword free. I've never been good reading people to tell you the truth.

Posted by Kywyn on 05-30-04 04:27 AM: Kywyn turns his frame sideways and sweeps an arm up to deflect the thrown dagger away. "Hmm... well tonight, I am fighting because there is a man who claims to have information which will involve me." Letting the charge in his hands dissipate, Kywyn channels a different permutation of the dark touch. Raising his hands to the sides of his mouth, he mutters something while inhaling. Leaning forward, Kywyn exhales a strong breath which is transformed to hoarfrost as it passes through the field of his hands. The stream of frost breath takes on its own momentum as it glides toward Kai. __________________ "The world is a lie. The lines depend on who does the drawing -- and who does the seeing."

I see... The elf moves in after his opponent, the swords readied for another attack. I'm sure my true enemies already know I plan to destroy them. So telling you won't really change a thing, now will it. __________________ Anger is a signal, and one worth listening to. --Harriet Lerner Kai--An elf who has embraced the evil within himself.

"Fighting is about more than just hurting and breaking," Kywyn says as he reaches into a pocket to pull out a small piece of chalk. "I told you it often ends badly... because of the things that are ended, and the things we learn about ourselves." Drawing crossing lines on his hand, he intones words of focus once again to refresh the pool of artificial life in his aura. "Life is pain. Anyone who tells you different is trying to sell you something. But we survive and grow and love. Do you think you're the only one who has ever lost something?" "Tell me," Kywyn stands in a prepared defensive stance, not motioning to meet his attacker. __________________ "The world is a lie.

You know nothing. Those emotions are lost to me, all I am is hate and anger. Now, does it really matter if other have lost something? __________________ Anger is a signal, and one worth listening to. --Harriet Lerner Kai--An elf who has embraced the evil within himself.

Posted by Kywyn on 06-01-04 10:50 PM: "I know nothing," Kywyn agrees as he sidesteps the first attack, "Less than that sometimes. But knowledge is not wisdom..." He dodges the next shove. "Wisdom is not truth..." Step back. "Truth is not beauty..." Step back. "Beauty is not love..." Stop. Kywyn seems aloof and lost in thought for a moment. Now Kai's sword digs into Kywyn's exposed sternum at the low neck of his shirt, but Kywyn doesn't feel it. Pulling back to get himself free, Kywyn parries the followup slash with a reinforced forearm and ducks the next swipe. No blood seeps from his chest and hardly a mark is seen. "Circumstances..." he sighs inwardly. Kywyn couldn't imagine what shape he himself would be in if he ever lost the things he held close... No, can't think about that. He would die. Or somehow find a form of survival, but he would be broken. Maybe that is what Kai has endured, though Kywyn cannot see the elf as too much right now. "Had enough of him for one night... His presence isn't good for my mind. End it." Kywyn bounces backward, narrowly avoiding the hounding sword slashes. "As above, so below," he intones as he shifts his hands, one palm facing up, the other facing down. A cerulean glimmering of vampiric energy surges into his hands, dimmer and more pallid than the glow before. Kywyn's skin goes pale, and in the darkness, he seems to fade into the shadows a tad more. The scene grows darker in Kywyn's vision. "There was a girl, and now there isn't," Kywyn deduces. "Fine. You are hate and anger. Tell me what I want to know now or tell me after one more touch," his voice is a restrained undertone. "Prove yourself, Avenger -- I'm hungry tonight." __________________ "The world is a lie.

The throbbing in his hands only gets worse as he tightens the grip on his weapons. .oO( Calm yourself.) The elf takes a deep breath to regain his composure, only to hiss after a sharp pain rattles his ribs. Kai stands still, gazing upon Kywyn as the colors of his eyes seem to drain of color after realizing the fight was coming to an end. After a moment of silence, he lowers the swords and sheaths them. Grabbing the end of the scarf, he tightens it around his face, concealing the mask. His dark and quiet demeanor having returned. One is the person that controls the actions of the Demmionites here in the city. He will meet a violent end...I swear it. Another is a self-righteous paladin I have seen you with some time back. When he knew me, I was naive and simple, but that is no longer the case. His name is Gamis and I can never forgive him. Kai draws his hood and turns around facing the south end of the graveyard. He turns his head as a slight breeze rustles his tattered cloak. You are the only person I've told this too. Now do as you wish, but if you get in my way then I will be forced to destroy you. __________________ Anger is a signal, and one worth listening to. --Harriet Lerner Kai--An elf who has embraced the evil within himself.

"And I'll be up front with you, Kai. I don't tend to stick my nose in others' business. But if I do get the chance to speak to Gamis, I will probably pass along your name." Kywyn slouches against a tomb into an impassive seated position. "Is there no way back for you?" __________________ "The world is a lie.

Why anything at all? Why not nothing?" "But that is for us to find out, I suppose." "I think I've found the better question is, 'Why nothing? Why not everything?'

Shaking his head, he slowly starts off onto his lonely course. Not possible...He whispers to himself. Tonight was interesting...though it would be a shame for us to become enemies. I think...maybe you too were alone at some point of time in your life.

"Light a candle or curse the dark... either way, you still might not see what you want," he allows as subdued parting words. The diffuse cobalt glow fades from his hands. Kywyn walks back along the cool grass and gravel path. He stops to look down at a tombstone, speaking in silence. "I hope you got all that..." he messages the others. Hex climbs onto Kywyn's shoulder and then hops into the grass to cool down amidst the dew. "Shadow may yet have substance," Kywyn advises the frog. Hex just chirps and hops onto Kywyn's reinforced boot and finds a spot to cling to in the shin guard. Dusting off his pale clothing, Kywyn leaves the graveyard to head home. __________________ "The world is a lie. The lines depend on who does the drawing -- and who does the seeing."
