Sacred Blood Fighter Version 2

[Ronan Lynch]

World Map:

The world Of Ayoris is in a chaos, the world wars have finally begun taking it's toll on the land. The Union led by Richart of the Light is set on uniting all races under one king and banner, regardless of the loss of culture or opinions of the other race. Vashti leader of the trinity, many flock under her will to allow each race its own place and culture to be as it is. Then there is Domenic Shades the leader of Freedom March a united front of guilds, or as many who have been at the mercy of his wrath his thugs. He doesn't care who wins the conflict or which guild fight for who; his goal is soley money related. The Demons and other races have kept neatly out of these affairs for the most part, helping or hindering when it benefits their needs. The world is on the brink of disaster and no leader seems to notice it; can anyone bring peace to the world before it is too late? Or is it too far gone to help?

The Union:
It was going to be another tough battle indeed; the Trinity forces had the clear advantage in this no name forest. They'd been struggling for days against each other, neither army willing to back down or rest. If something didn't happen soon they'd either have to surrender or they would lose a huge chunk of the forces; if that happened they'd need to rely on guild for a while. It was a grim stalemate with stakes far to high for them to simply give up; and to make matters worse it looked like a storm was going to come in. Richart stared out over the thousand strong tent filled field, these warriors and mages had lost so much; and would lose more. They knew the risks of joining up, and he didn't care if some cannon fodder got taken out if it meant gaining a few more leagues of land for the Union. Vashti would rue the day she pitted her people against him; he had lost so much because of the rasicst people around him, becasue of who his parents were. He would not let purebred lock out his people any longer, he would win. No matter the Cost.

The Trinity:
Vashti sighed miserably, kneeling beside an injured human and healed her; the woman thanked her weakly. This was a pointless battle; their ideals were so similar but Richart was practically preforming genocide on those who refused to join his silly cause. Death was all around her, cries of children and mothers rang out as her people hurried to help those that were not warrior flee deeper into the forests. A comforting hand on her shoulder alerted her to his presence; it was Dominic Shade. Vashti shrugged it off, while he had his own personal guild fighting with her people she still did not trust him or his intentions. She'd sooner surrender her body to a snake than him. He frowned looking hurt, but she didn't care; she'd lost too much today to be pleasant with anyone. She struggled with the bitter rage that seemed to be corrupting her slowly from the inside out; this halfing and his reckless endvor had taken her father and sister from her. No! She would not so easily lose her own ideals because she was alone; they would make him see. Or should would die trying.

Freedom March(Guilds):
Dominic growled, gods above he was fawning of this bloody elf and practically throwing his ambitions to the wind for her and her stupid cause! But...the look of torment on her face twisted something within him that he'd thought had long since been killed. He shook his mane irritably; it was like he was a cub all over again. Chasing after the pretty female who had a kind word for everyone; a smiling human face flashed across his vision. Another growl left his lips, this was not the time to be recalling a past that could not be changed nor relived. Yet still he lingered after the Fae girl's affections like he had a chance; no pure fae would even consider him. Fae were rare to outbreed from their own kinds; and he knew that. But that would n't stop him from trying. He wouldn't let her down again.

[shinsei kodoku]

From atop a burning building a young man with dazzling blue eyes and hair the purest color of silver sat. From above he watched the carnage. All of these powerful beings killing one another out of a false sense of fear. No one at this stage in the war wanted to lose, but how many could say why they began to fight in the very beginning? In this war there would be no victor. Everyone would suffer, the ones who would suffer the most being the innocent. Those that did not choose a side because they saw no need to fight and kill when they could all live in peace day by day. The ones who chose peace would be wiped out by the war between the three factions.

"The ones that choose to live by the way of nature are murdered indiscriminately." the young man spoke to no one in particular as he heard the final cries of young children as they were silenced. "I wonder if this has always been the way of the world" There was a sound like that of a sharp crack of thunder, a sound that most knew well, which was followed by a bright red light in the same instance. just as quickly as the light had appeared and gone, the building where the young man was sitting exploded as if it was filled with a large quantity of explosives. From about 15yds to the west of the building an individual adorned in black robes stood, a red mist like substance emanating from his loose robe from where his hands emerged. "Fae scum" the robed one said as he began to walk forward into the small burning village.

[Ronan Lynch]

"Hmph." Eclipse smiled darkly, his master glanced down at him from her perch on his shoulders.

"Something funny Eclipse?" SHe asked after a few more minutes of silence; he thought about lying to her before merely shaking his head. Noah's long silver hair tickled his arms but he ignored it in favor of stopping, the was a large field ahead with the bodies of many. Some of which were even still alive crying out for help or mercy, he stood still awaiting his master's orders. Noah said nothing for a long time, and if ha hadn't known better he would have thought she was waiting for him to make up his mind about what to do. "Which is it?"

"Union and trinity it would seem...and their out in main force today." He answered, a grunt left Noah's throat and she nudged him forward. If anyone tried to stop them they'd kill the fools, if not they'd move on. There was no point in wasting time with the fools who were drooling over the war. "And the ones left behind?" He asked as they started across the vast field; she was silent until they reached one of them; a sniveling orcish man who struggled to move.

Kill them all.

[shinsei kodoku]

A slight murmuring sound was heard as the robed individual neared the building that had just exploded. as he got closer and the smoke from the smoldering remains of the building began to blow towards the east with the shift of the wind he saw the silver haired young man on his knees with his hands folded infront of him. the robed one was slightly in disbelief but worried not as he raised up his left hand and began to chant a spell. "The loss of life is truly sad, why must we fight and kill one another?" a small orange light formed in the palm of the robed person a small orange 'orb' shot out at a very quick pace and headed towards the back of the still kneeling silver haired boy.

The orb hit the debris from the building and exploded scattering much of it and putting out about a third of the flames. "With magics such as yours the world could be a gentler place." The silver haired young man was now infront of the robed individual gripping his mouth with his left hand. The look on the face of the black mage was astounded. In between the time his spell was activated and cast he had found himself in this position. "I do not hate those with power who decide to use it for their own gain. No. I actually feel sorry for them, as they are the ones that are the furthest from salvation" the silver haired boy raised his right hand to the front of his face and said a quick prayer "Understanding is the key to peace. If you had understood i was not fae perhaps you would not have had to be judged by me. Today." with that he released the hold he had on the mages mouth, the young mans hand print still visible. the mage jumped backwards and opened his mouth while placing his left hand infront of his right as his lips began to move. Not a single understandable word came from his mouth as a mix of red and orange light began to emanate from under his robe. A look of fear came across his face as his entire being was engulfed in flames. The young man bowed slightly towards the ashes that were just moments before a person. "May your mistakes in this life lead you to peace in the next" with that the young man began to walk in the direction of screams in the distance. the only thing left in the small village being smaller individual piles of ash like the one of the black mage scattered about.

[Ronan Lynch]

He wondered if perhaps his influence of his master was both undue and quite frankly larger than he'd originally thought; then shook his head at the notion. The way she had turned out was because she had lived instead of her mother, that and perhaps because he couldn't bring himself to set her on the right course. He lifted his head at the pain filled shriek from a woman his master had stepped on, Noah had a look of mild interest as the woman continued screaming. The painful sound was muted into a water gurgle as a flash of silver sliced open her neck; no he wouldn't change the way she'd turned out. With a sigh he muttered and incantation of fire alighting several survivors who shouted out for mercy when pain retook their faded senses. Indifference was Noah's key feature, to everyone who knew her she was the picture of 'I don't give a fuck'. Eclipse knew better, while others stood in awe of her ability to disregard anything thrown at he knew the true Noah beneath the many thick layers of masks she wore. She hid it well and he assumed she thought he didn't know about it, but he was connected to her like every demon was to their master; he knew her true feelings. Thoughts? Not something he could see without her permission, but their magical bond let him feel what she felt; and see what she saw.

"It would seem that both sides have sent out a party of greeting Master. How shall we proceed?" He folded his arms with a smile, already knowing her answer.

"Kill them." Her second blade found her other hand as she turned to face the Union soldiers; he grinned maliciously.

"As you wish... my beloved master." Fast murmuring filled the air before anyone could do anything; as the earth rumble their opponents drew their weapons, each mage also beginning to mutter.

'too slow.' Noah thought disappointedly, her blades flashed as she bypassed the warriors easily and severed the still muttering mage's head from his shoulders. Whirling in place she bent backwards to avoid an enemy blade; she practically danced as she slashed through them like butter. Her eyes fell on the banner crest that adorned their breasts, and she lost it. These people were from Freedom March; these weak bastard were from the man who took her mother away. Noah barked out something in a dark language and several corpses rose up and fell upon the men as she hissed a curse in her mother's language.

"Oh dear....looks like I don't have time to play with you fools anymore." He finished the spell and a huge explosion left a crator where the Trinity warriors should have been. "My foolish little master is throwing a fit."

[shinsei kodoku]

As seijin walked through the forest following the sounds of the innocent falling he uttered a prayer for each individual he 'sensed' pass onto the world. For a brief second a cold chill ran up seijin's spine which forced him to stop in his own tracks. "Give me strength" he thought as a slight white aura came from around him. With the aura seeming like that of a slight mist seijin began to run forward. His eyes glowing slightly and his hair not laying as flat against him as it previously did.

In very little time at all seijin reach a clearing in the forest, or rather a field obviously man made due to the rather large size of it. What seijin saw did not stun nor surprise him, it was death. The same sight most had seen sense the war had originally started so many years ago. What did however catch seijin's attention were the movements of beings who were clearly dead. He had felt the wicked aura from afar, it was a magic that he despised, to use ones body even after their death against their will even after they had already been judged was an unforgivable offense against all that was holy.

The ground beneath seijin's feet shook violently. He knew better than to assume it was a naturally occurring phenomenon. Glancing over to his right side he saw the cause of the shake. A giant crater was opened in the ground, there was blood splattered around the inside of the crater which made the scene all the more devilish. "That's no mage...." seijin muttered to himself as his vision locked onto a clear representation of evil. A demon. For some reason something inside seijin stirred, he smiled a wicked smile as a dark red aura began to emanate from his mouth with his slightly increased breathing. Taking a quick breath in seijin exhaled the rede aura now gone. without so much as another thought seijin jumped forward towards the mage controlled walking dead. he knew he would be able to rather easily dispatch them, and if he would have to fight the demon then he wanted to get rid of all other impure entities prior to the main event.

Rushing directly towards the closest corpse seijin thought of a way to attack and dispatch them as quickly as possible. His keen sense almost placing a gps like 'route' infront' of him to follow. With the closest corpse seijin approached it from the side while it was attacking an already fatally wounded mage. In one quick fluid like motion seijin kicked his right foot out and clipped both of the ghouls feet out from under it causing it to begin to fall onto its left side. Before the abomination touched the ground seijin used the initial inertia of his kick to spin his leg infront of him in a quarter circle so his heel was high in the air, he then quickly brought it down upon the head of the corpse preforming a devastating axe kick to its head. The impact leaving a small crater only slightly bigger than its head in the ground below it, the corpses head completely smashed. Without a moments pause he used the potential energy from the powerful kick to leap forward towards another one of the walking dead. This time however knew of his presence and ran towards him, as the tortured soul got well within seijin's reach he slapped it on the right side of the head with the back of his left hand while hitting the knee of the creatures outside leg on the inside. the two conjoining forces causing the corpse to spin in midair. As his right hand came to the top of the windmill and his left the bottom seijin brought his right hand down like that of a bladed weapon while bringing his left upwards as well slicing the neck of the corpse into three separate parts.

[Ronan Lynch]

Noah sliced through the remaining guild member with a dissatisfied growl; yet something else was attacking, her corpses no less. Spinning she had full intent to slam the point of her curved dagger into this new assailant's neck; but stopped short point a millimeter from the person. Her eyes were blank as she reassessed the situation, this man was perfectly healthy and held no banner to either side. He looked human but he could have been using a disguise for all she knew; he was also unarmed to her current view. Mage? The question was what kind, and how advanced was he? His silver hair was not the hair color of a normal human, nor were his cloths. Noble then? Or perhaps a glorified monk? No neither would bother getting involved directly with a battle; nor bother with hitting only the corpses. So the question that was most prominent was one of two, who was this man? And what did he want with them? At this conclusion time sped up for her again and she held still chest heaving from restraint, this man could very well be someone that she could not handle by herself.

Eclipse watched with mild amusement as this new foe that had appeared from seemingly no where tore through his master's minions easily. 'Like wet paper.' He mused; but nearly paled when his master decided to turn her blade on the man. CLearly she knew better as she stopped suddenly; assessing her situation in the few seconds of inaction. IT could go two ways, either he'd back away; or he could end up short one master. The chances of his master being hit though were high; and he wondered how angry she would be when he stepped in to help. Honestly the girl would be the death of him, were all elves this reckless? Then again....well he'd just have to see how this turned out, wouldn't he?

[shinsei kodoku]

Seijin had just dispatched the walking corpse when a rather scantily clad fae spun with a dagger in hand with a half hearted lunge towards his most vital and least protected area. But as the blade tore through the air with each passing instance her resolve seemed to fade for one reason or another. The blade stopped perhaps half a hairs width before piercing through his neck. Seijin didnt move a single muscle as he had sensed she didnt truly have the resolve in her to go through with the blow, for some reason the fae found it beneficial not to attack him?

Seijin took a step backwards as he stood straight up infront of the girl. The hairs on the back of his neck beginning to stand on end. He looked past the girl in the direction of the west, the sun was just begining to go under the tree line from his current positioning. He had lost track of time somehow he thought cursing himself without so much as even glancing directly at the girl. It wasnt due to being confident in his ability, he simply could sense a mixed sense malice coming from her, with whatever thoughts ran through the girls head they affected her to the point of where she wouldnt be capable of attacking not now at least. seijin reached into his right sleeve and began to speak still without looking towards the girl. "I assume i'd be correct in saying that you are the one controlling the bodies of the formerly deceased." as he spoke he pulled a small braided rope out and went to place it on his hair, tieing it he created a short ponytail with most of his hair leaving a few strands of hair to hang infront of his face. As he did so the white mist like aura that was coming from his being faded almost completely. "I ask that you consider undoing your spell on those that have already fallen, and refrain from using such evil magic in the future. Regardless of who they were everyone deserves to rest." Seijin turned towards the demon which was watching him and the fae intently, he muttered a small prayer to himself as his eyes began to glow slightly brighter than before.

[Ronan Lynch]

"Oh dear." Eclipe smiled visciously; this human seemed to have a bone to pick with him. "Are you sure you want to attack me? Master doesn't take too kindly to those who do that."

Whatever hesitation was holding her back, was replaced with rage and resolve. Barking out a long slur of her magic two dozen corpses rose easily as if their wound held no affect on them. Her passive expression betrayed how much she was planning on hurting this new enemy. Inwardly she cursed herself for hesitating in that moment; if she hadn't she wouldn't be facing a foe she could very likely lose to. A low sigh escaped her mouth, making it sound as if she was bored or irritated that she had to do so much; but it was meant to calm her thoughts. She'd already lost her mother, there was no way in hell she was going to lose the only other person who cared truly for her in a pseudo loveless way. Eclipse was all she had left in this wretched world, and if she lost him to some stranger who had the balls to try and set her on his supposed right path; she'd lose the rest of her fragile mind. With only the flash of her hair and two blades as warning that she had moved, she lunged towards the man. With a deft twist Noah launched herself into the air and put her entire weight into slamming heavily into what she hoped was this new foe.

Eclipse tensed easily, knowing that Noah was straining herself with the magic. She should have been able to use magic easily, and she could have if she'd learned the magic her people had an affinity to. Necromancy was something he'd regrettably taught her when they'd first met; she was far too innocent to be wielding such a dark form of magic. He could guess even blood magic would be just a strainuious on her body; magic was a fearsome thing most times. If the user was closer to nature like Noah had--was then Black magic was the best form for her. Those that cared for the well being of others tended to be able to become clerics or priests; something she should have been able to do with a little effort. His people's magic were the farthest thing from her true nature; her distrust and anger were placed their not borne. If he wasn't already from hell he would have known where he was going; this was the one thought that made him feel slightly guilty. He was corrupting this child beyond repair.

[shinsei kodoku]

Seijin heard the words from the demon and felt the aura of the girl burst forth with rage she had a full resolve to kill. As with the aura which had risen and become more impure twenty or so more corpses had risen as if to throw his words to her in his face and to bring to this reality a living personification of how she currently felt. The corpses could easily be dispatched, ending them again would help them return to the next life peacefully.

Feeling the malice from the girl get stronger seijin turned leading with the right side of his body the girl was wielding two daggers as she was approaching him with full intent to kill him with this straight forward attack. Using his left hand seijin slightly tapped the very tip of the dagger to her right side to hopefully throw her slightly off balance, without forgetting about the other dagger in hand he placed his right leg between the gap between her legs as if he was preforming a sidewise lunge moving smoothly he retracted his body low towards the ground almost to the point of being able to 'glide' under the girl. In this low position he grabbed the inner thigh of the girl with his right hand while leaning into her pushing straight up and to his left he increased her own movement forward while throwing her leg upwards to hopefully throw her some distance away. "I do not wish to cause you any harm. You seem troubled and not completely fallen. for now."

Seijin looked up to gauge how much time he had before it became completely dark. A jolt ran through his body as he did. Even though the sun was not completely set yet the light from a crescent moon shown strongly. A dark red mist like aura began to come from his body, his eyes turned a blood red color. "Damn. I've pushed it past the time" the hair tie he had placed on his hair snapped as his hair flung upwards turning red as it stood completely on end. "Hey girlie" from behind the girl seijin stood with his arms folded his hair had fallen back down for the most part as it was streaked with red, only the hair on the back of his neck still stood on end. "I cant believe this fool kept his eyes off you. Seeing that flawless skin gets the blood going." as he spoke to the girl 4 of the corpses had fell that were between where he had previously stood and the girl.

[Ronan Lynch]

Noah knew it was hopeless to try, but still...so easily thrown like a doll. Before she could react his whole demeanor changed, and she felt his gaze upon her. If she wasn't already pale her face would have gone white, this was on an entirely different level. He'd kill her if she wasn't careful, and have no qualms about it. Turning easily she met his gaze with a bit of awe on her normally blank face, but if was easily mistaken for mockery. She remained silent for a few drawn out moments, then the corpses fell down once again inanimate. Noah took a step closer to him and reacessed this new thing before her, knowing that she could die if she was wrong. Same body, clearly; features had changed slightly; more red. Possessed? Perhaps...though more likely to be part beastman. Changed when the sun left the sky; cursed maybe. Personality is complete opposite so far. Formerly reserved, eyes didn't wander. Now he was flirtatious, lewd even...clearly motivated by beauty. Possibly has poor eyesight (Why else would he think she was a 'looker'?) Over all dangerous to her more so now than before; though that meant he should no longer be after Eclipse.

"...Who are you? Or rather...what exactly are you?" She asked finally, her long twin tails fluttering like silk in the gentle breeze.

Eclipse nearly hissed when the change happened; but didn't have long to dwell on this new thing. The others were mobilizing to figure out whose side they were on; their advantage lost. He remained still however knowing that interference could mean death for his master; and that was not going to happen without him getting her soul.

[shinsei kodoku]

"Who am I? Does it matter 'who' I am? the same can be asked for 'what'." the transformed seijin took a half step towards the girl while kneeling downwards, he lined his mouth directly to her ear and spoke softly yet clear "If i sent that demon back to hell would you follow me?" without waiting for an answer or even a reaction he stood straight back up laughing hysterically "Dont even answer. Ill find out if you will or wont after I devour his entrails!" he wiped a small tear from his eye as he cracked his neck then got onto all fours. A red mist like aura began to radiate from his body his finger nails turning into claws. "It's been a while sense he's allowed me to eat." the muscles in his hands were seen tensing as he readied himself to make a straight line dash towards the demon.

"hmmm?" the aura around the transformed seijin faded quickly as his ears twitched. He stood back up and sniffed the air. "Hey what exactly is going on here anyways? There's about 60 or so different scents coming from around us." he placed his hands on his hips and looked in the direction where he could smell 30 or so huddled together. "Hey oxen head. There's no way you didnt notice them." he pointed outwards as if he was about to start counting, and infact did just that. He started drooling from the mouth "wow! there's about 200 combined! about half smell the same on either side. hey is this supposed to be some kind of war or something?" he turned towards the girl with a look that truly said he was clueless about what was currently happening. As he took his attention from all those around two arrows flew from the woods hitting him in the chest and his left shoulder, a barrage of countless arrows then immediately flew towards the fae the demon and seijin. Directly behind the volley ran solders behind them mages. it had seemed as if both sides had made this large open field into a meeting place to decide the battle. perhaps it was just bad luck that these three happened to be in the middle of it all.

[Ronan Lynch]

Eclipse shook his head as arrows rained down merely muttering a word or two and letting them bounce of a dome of some kind. Clearly this man was some sort of demon hunter, and they were his new prey. He looked at Noah who was staring at the two arrows buried into the person's chest/shoulder; she put away her blades quietly without a word and wrapped her slender fingers onto this new persons arm. Then proceeded to drag the man with surprising force and walked across the field; ignoring the two hundred or so warriors and mages from each side. HIs master was going to get them in trouble again, however he stopped for a moment eyes narrowed deeply into thin slits. He knew this scent, he knew the one it belonged to as well. If "That" person was on the hunt here, then there was no where safe for Noah; he wouldn't allow for this to stand. For now however he needed to get her away from this battle; and explain things enough for her to understand. He just hoped his plan would work out with this new variable.

Noah disliked this person very much; he was new, odd. Like a mutated flower or funny growing tree, like bad tasting water that was needed badly. She wondered what he had meant when he said 'follow'; she was not the one who did the following. TO her mild surprise Eclipse broke her hold on the man and lifted her onto his shoulders before grabbing onto the person. She leaned down resting her arms on his horns; 'What's wrong?' when she received no answer she vaguely wondered if she'd really said it out loud; then realized she hadn't. She didn't bother voicing it this time, instead settling back and allowing him to swiftly take them to the other side of the field and deeper into the forest. How long would this silly thing pretend to play dead she wondered.

[shinsei kodoku]

When seinin had gotten hit by the two arrows he instantly fell over 'dead' on the spot. It had seemed as if all of his bravado not too long ago was nothing more than a show. Or so that's what he had hoped to have the fae girl believe, he was, as you say playing possum of course. In his mind doing a rather decent job of it as well. When he felt someone grab him under his arms he couldn't help but to open up a single eye to see who it was, he then quickly closed it again as he had caught enough of a glimpse to see that the fae girl was infact the one dragging him across the field. A part of him wanted to reach up and remove the arrows from.his body as they were a slight annoyance, but he wanted to see how far this girl would go for someone she didn't even know.

After some distance he could feel the demon standing right over him and the girl. It had taken her away which caused seijin to call the short distance hitting his head on an uncovered tree branch. "You evil son of a bitch!" seijin said popping up grabbing the back of his head with tears running down his face. "oxen head just tried to kill me!!" he said snapping at the demon as he rubbed the back of his head.

Seijin's ears twitched as the sound of dying soldiers resonated through his ears. His mouth started to salivate and he began to drool as the smell of blood and burning flesh reached his nostrils. "Sounds like they're having a good time without me!" seijin said towards no one in particular. Pushing himself upwards he flew into the air and flipped onto his feet stumbling only for a second as for some reason the arrows felt slightly painful now. No matter he thought as he gripped both arrows and pulled them from his chest and shoulder. "it's been a while sense ive been out. So im gonna go cause some carnage. Wanna join in oxen?"

[Ronan Lynch]

"Stop whining boy! You are going no where." Eclipse hissed grabbing the boy's arm tightly to hold him into place; "You must listen to me the both of you." Noah blinked down at her wayward companion, unsure of why he was suddenly uneasy and acting as if in charge. It didn't bother her, in fact she was used to it when they were traveling. He often got bossy at random times for reason she likely knew nothing about. Why question the logic of a being that was nearly immortal?

How long did they have before they were found? Before "he" found her scent again? This had been a poor choice of a wandering direction, had he known that "he" was apart of one side; Eclipse would have avoided all battlefields. If he did not hide her quickly then all his efforts...all his promises would be for naught. The man would not have her! Not after all he had done to keep the truth away from her, or the times he'd spent sleepless nights carrying her resting form so that she might be safe again. He would not lose her to a careless mistake of his own doing! His eyes narrowed viciously as the scent grew stronger, what foolish human would bring such a wretched thing back to the land of people? That man would take no orders without some motive as to why his alignment with said human had something to do with Noah.

"Where the clone goes...I follow." Elcipse nearly lost it as that voice entered his mind; he was here for her, and he knew where they were.

"Listen boy, you are to take my master far from here! As far as you can go! Do not stop for longer than necessary and do not lose sight of her for even one moment! A lot more is as risk here than you feeding on some half pint humans, protect her and you with feast on something far more delicious." If there was a god or gods, he hoped they'd have enough mercy for this fool to hear him and realize what was at stake.

[shinsei kodoku]

"Here I was thinking we could disembowl fodder together." seijin tensed the muscles in his free hand as a low growl was heard that began in his core. A red aura began to slowly come up from seijins feet "Listen? To you? I'd rather rip that damned arm off of yours and shove it up your fucking ass!!" as his feelings of rage intensified his aura got darker and filled with malice. "It's too late to think about apologizing. The only thing I can think of now is kill-" he stopped speaking and droped to a knee, the red aura vanished quickly. Seijin felt weak, he was rather light headed. For some reason the strong scent of blood was mixed in with his own scent. Looking down he saw a pool of crimson liquid using his free hand he followed the stream to the location where he had previously been hit by the arrow. "Aint this something." he said to himself as he began to calm down mainly due to the loss of blood.

Seijin hadn't smelled the new scent as it got close. He didn't know why but his wounds hadn't yet healed. It was a first and right now he was far too weak to even think about taking on the demon. He had let the arrows strike him because he was positive he'd heal almost as instantly as they were removed. Right now he didn't have a choice but to listen to what the ox head had to say.

He listened to the demon speak, or rather demand for him to take the fae girl and run. There wasn't too much of a single explanation for why he should do it. But he could only assume it was due to the new guest, the amount of killing intent he felt was very strong from him. As his own killing intent subsided his blood flow normalized, his strngeth although not fully restored was begining to return. He looked upwards at the demon "If I take her, then she'll become mine. She may never return to you." he smiled as he stood back up on both his feet, and waited for the very next move of the demon.

[Ronan Lynch]

"I know." Eclipse smiled sadly, pushing the boy closer to Noah whose expression remain blank. "Take care of her now; and be careful with her..."

Noah took a step forward, hand reaching out to grab Eclipse but found her hand blocked by a crackling barrier. "What are you doing?" Her tone was soft and steady like always, and for once he wished it would fluxuiate like before.

"I'm keeping you safe Noah, like I promised you I would." He answered with a regretful smile, she didn't return it; instead she placed her other hand on the barrier.

"Are you coming back?" He didn't need to know her thoughts to know what she was actually saying. 'Don't leave me alone!' That was what she thought, but he knew she'd never say it out loud; she'd become so reliant on him over the years that she never made any other connection to anyone. He was a father, brother, teacher, salvation, and more; to her there was no Noah without Eclipse.

"Of course, it's a promise." He lied as his face brightened up. 'I'm sorry I'm doing this to you.' He thought before jerking his head in the direction of the boy; it took her a second longer before she turned away.

"Goodbye." She stated simply. 'I love you...I'll miss you my friend.'

"Me too." He answered.

"gack! Too much lovey dovey emotions!!" seijin used his left hand to grab the girls leg from behind her knee and lifted up suddenly which made her 'fall' in midair. Quickly using his right he grabbed her on her shoulder so he was now holding her princess style. Turning on the heel of is left foot he rushed off back in the direction of the open field where the battle was currently going on. Seijin picked up his pace even more so and winced slightly as he felt the blood begin to flow just a little stronger from his wound. Straight ahead of them seijin could see the fierce battle.

There were all sorts of different creatures in this rather large field battling to the death. It took a rather large amount of self control to stop himself from taking part in the battle, he wanted to more than anything else. But he wasn't sure how long it'd be before his wound made him drop to his knees again, hopefully not at all seeing as he wasn't going all out like he had planned earlier. Infact the reason he had chose to come this route was because it would be harder for anyone to track them through all the different scents and malice.

From the corner of his eye seijin saw a huge club like weapon being swung. He didn't mnow if it was aimed at them or they just so happened to be in the path. Jumping upwards at an angle seijin cleared right over it easily and landed on the side of it. Turning his head he saw a being that stood perhaps 30ft tall, it was huge and half covered in armor. As seijin went to jump from the giant club he saw a large boulder fly into the side of the giants skull which merely caused it to stumble sideways. And pull the club just as seijins feet left it. Landing on the floor he then went back into a sprint straight forward.

It was definately a new way to travel, though it seemed impractical to Noah; after he couldn't use his arms if he was carrying her this way. On that note did he think that she was incapable of fleeing by her own two legs? Or was it that he could run faster than her? She didn't particularly care for the jumping around though, it gave he an unsettled stomach; Reapers Pyre. She hissed under her breath. The giant who had been hell bent on them screamed out in pain before swinging madly into the fray of bodies from both sides; trampling all in his path. If only this supposed savior could be more useful, then she wouldn't have to waste her time.
=============================================
Eclipse sighed, well he'd bought them a few minutes at least. The boy had done the smart thing by running through the battle field full of scents; which in no doubt would confuse the nose of the hunter. "Geez old man...go a little easy." He'd be stuck there regenerating for a long while; possible days before he could move and at least a month before he could travel again. Well he shouldn't worry too much, Noah was resourceful enough, and if nothing else the boy would provide her with a scapegoat to get further away until he could find her again. If he survived the heeling process...he laughed, which turned into a choking cough. Survive? He was missing an arm and there was hundreds of wounds all over his body; he wasn't going to see the sunrise.

It was then that a shadow fell over his line of sight...

The Union:
Richart sat slack jawed as one of his giants went berserk seemingly out of know where; how was that even remotely possible? A flash of silver caught his attention and he narrowed his eyes, he knew that ridiculously long hair anywhere. Noah fucking Faetherlyn! The Necromancer from the village of Mytsalin, she had been must smaller when he'd seen her ten years ago; but her hair hadn't changed it would seem. Thankfully she wasn't with the Trinity as a soldier, they'd lose without a question. If she was only passing threw he'd still have chance to win, but none the less he kept his eyes trained after her retreating form; ready to call a full retreat if she was in fact in the mood to kill. That little girl was hell incarnate without the fake smile most of its kind used to lure in idiot. This battle would not end until one side was limping away in fear or retreat. He would see to that.

The Trinity:
Vashti nearly lost her head when the giant collapsed near her mount, in fact were in not for that foolish little Human guild master she'd have been very much dead. She gave him a nod before urging her men forward, grabbing a bow from one of the dead bodies of her comrade's; send his soul a benevolent thank you. Richart was mad to bring in people of the orcish nature to battle like this, and cast such a terrible spell on them too. SHe shook her head slightly as she loosed an arrow on a man; this was going to far; they had to end it safely before more lives were lost. Before anymore children ended up like that Demon bound child Noah; she may not have been the only one corrupted but she was one of the worst. It's been years since she'd seen her, and if she never saw her again it'd be too soon.

Guild=Freedom March:
He'd almost had a heart attack when Vashti was nearly crushed; if it hadn't been for him being near enough to pull her from the mount...He shuddered as he sliced through a man. Demon magic was a fearful thing, the elven face flashed in front of his eyes again; blood pooring from her wound as he tried to stop the life from flowing out of her. He'd been merely nine when his father had ordered the slaughter of those two, his thoughts made him hesitate and he would have been wounded were it not for his demon contract killing the enemy. He gave the older man a nod before continuing forward, he could not let his fathers actions guid him forever; he'd have to pay for those sins eventually. Dominic wondered what happened to the little girl with the silver hair as he sliced through a woman.

Seijin stopped running once they had reached ahout a quarter mile into the forest on the other side of the battlefield. As soon as he stopped he flung the girl from his arms pretty carelessly. "you owe me!" he yelled at the girl as the drool from his mouth had created a small stream. He turned around and purposefully banged his head against the trunk of a tree "I should have at least took a bite from one of the horses." his words were rather inaudible as he had his fangs pierced into his left hand, the drool now mixing blood creating a pinkish colored flow. He turned to the girl as he removed his hand from his mouth, strings of saliva and blood connected from his mouth to his hand before breaking away. He stared at the girl intently, his gaze traveling from her barely covered breasts to her legs and back. "A newly hatched chick has more meat on their breasts than you. I actually thought about it too..." he sounded rather upset with the realization and sat down to think. He looked at his left hand where blood was still running from his self inflicted wounds. He couldn't figure out why his wounds wernt healing, usually they healed as long as he could move. "What did he do to my body" he said under his breath with a displeased look.

Noah landed awkwardly On her hands and knees, a sharp pain from the scrapes she retrieved stung with the dirt that managed to get into it. She ignored his comment about her bust size, whether because she didn't care or didn't understand was unknown. Her eyes glanced back at the way they had come, but spared it no more than a glance. Ignoring the pricks of pain from her deep scrapes, she sat in front of him wondering if perhaps he was cursed or something. She stared intently at his face, as if questioning him silently; or perhaps she was just thinking of what was wrong with him. "...Your Bleeding." She muttered quietly, her face as indifferent as ever. "What happened to you?" Her question was not for how he got his wounds but rather why he was so different from the person before. THough she supposed that he might not know that; instead of waiting for an answer she leaned in really close to him inches from his face. Her eyes blank as a untarnished block of violet silk; her head tilted in the same manner as that of a dog.

Who was this person? Why had he shown up when he did? Why did he change suddenly? Should she help him bind his wounds or would they heal like Eclipse's? Many questions danced around her head but instead of voicing them she just stared at him with and almost curious gaze if it were not for her lack of expression. Noah wondered if perhaps there was even more she would wish to learn by the time the night was over; but she wouldn't bother with wasting more time than needed. So she sat inches from his possibly dangerous reach and watched his every movement.

"Am I really?" seijin took another look at his left hand and his facial expression changed to an obvious fake look of shock. "oh my God you're right! I am bleeding. I hadn't noticed..." his last sentenced trailed off with a rather obvious tone of extreme sarcasm. Seijin couldn't help but be an extra ass with how utterly dim the girl seemed. When she asked of what had happened his ears twitched slightly and an annoyingly forced smile came across his face. "i have no idea what happened. One second I was fine the next this." the way he had answered was about the bite wounds in his hand, he hadn't assumed she had meant about the 'transformation'. His eye began to twitch as the girl looked at him with her head tilted to the side "damn that's adorable" he thought to himself as he gently pushed her face away. "Most animals take eye contact to be a show of challenge. Remember that well" he said it in a slightly sarcastic douchebag tone but actually meant it well.

The winds shifted and blew to the north towards where seijin and noah were currently situated. The smell of blood and death teased at his nose causing him to drool. But another scent caused his hunger to subside. He stood up put his right hand out for the girl to grab ahold so he could help her up. The scent that had seijin moving was of the other person that the oxen had seemed to want the girl to get away from. But that wasn't too much an issue, what caught him was the faint scent of the oxen mixed with a sour blood smell. He knew that slight sour smell to be that of demon blood and could only assume he had lost. "let's go find something to eat. I'm starving"

She blinked at his hand for a moment before grabbing it and hoisting herself to a standing position; ignoring the twinge the cuts on her hands and legs had gotten in his careless tossing of her. Despite his warning she leaned in again and stared at his face intently; only this time she was even closer. 'I wonder if he's human or cursed...' She thought, then realized that she hadn't said it out load; but elected to keep her thoughts to herself. If he want to share then he would, no amount of prompting would get her the information, silent or otherwise. She blinked her head ever so slightly tilted, still having that almost curious look in her dull gaze. NOah had forgotten what it was that Eclipse had told her to do, afterall there was something new infront of her-- the thought of Eclipse put a brake on her thoughts. She hesitantly grabbed the edge of the boy's shirt and looked down; "He's dead...right?" She asked, thinking perhaps the boy might be able to read what she'd meant. 'Tell me everything's gonna be fine...' Her chest felt heavy like there was a weight on it, like an arrow had hit her; though she knew that no such thing had happened. The strange thing she was feeling wasn't a term she knew how to describe, it was saddening and painful at the same time.

If only she had done better, or had shown interest all those other times they had fled. Perhaps if she had then things would have--might turn out differently. It was a terribly feeling of realizing that she was truly alone now, with no one who cared for her well being; nor willing to try and understand her. A piece of her that she'd thought was so well kept was torn from her; Eclipse had done everything for her. She couldn't survive without someone to take care of her, she didn't have the skills. Dark brooding thouhgts clouded her mind, making her feel miserable.

[shinsei kodoku]

Seijin closed his eyes and smiled as the girl seemed to be testing him. With his right hand he gently placed it ontop of her head as if to soothe her, sliding his hand down slightly he forcefully grabbed a handful of her hair and pulled naclwards in an attempt to jerk her head back. "You don't listen to what you're told do you?" the smile was fone from his face and replaced with a slight exaggerated quivvering lower lip that honestly looked comical. He released her hair with a slight growl.

"Does it look like I'd know if that damned oxen is dead or alive? If he's dead he wont be able to hold true to that promise he made you." he stopped for a second and thought. "If he's dead what difference would it make? Avenge him if he is. Stay alive till he meets you later if he isn't." seijin attempted to sound simewhat positive and reassuring as he spoke yet at the same time didn't try too hard due to the fact that he didn't care too much. "you're leading the way to food so hurry up and let's get moving!"
