Raiha

[COLOR=royalblue]She closed off her mind, And the insults bounced off, The power was great, But it was not enough. She laughed at them, And they taunted and baited, The energy was loud, But the emptiness was enormous. She cried when nobody watched, And they stopped laughing, The tears were thick, But the love was stronger. She fell through an endless void, And they didn't reach for her, The pain was terrible, But the fear was conquered. And she said, "Alas my love, I say goodbye."[/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Animus personified curled up quietly and wrapped her arms around herself. She sighed and her hair fell across her half clad body, giving her the air of something from another time and place. Nepenthe wandered through the jaded corridors of her closed off mind. Everything was quiet and calm, but still giving off the beautiful scent of complex lies and twisted plots. She sat down in the center and felt the edges of her spear. It glinted and fresh blue blood came down from the point. She flinched and tasted the thick liquid. The white wine that was her blood cooled off in her mouth and she smiled. The texture was not only intoxicating, it also gave her that feeling she had to struggle hard to posess. Her thoughts turned to Jedah, and she smiled. He didn't bother her half as much as she let on...and that made her happy. With a final longing glance at her future, she willed her eyes to open once more.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]When Sephiroth set her down, the world seemed to spin out of control, and his arms steadied her. She looked up at him again, pale face turning even lighter. Silver glowed and pulsed against sharp grreen. He touched her lips with one slim finger....and smiled.[/i] Sephiroth: You're perfect. [i]He took his hands away from her face, and put them on her shoulders..... The touch was gentle, but still cold. Her senses dulled themselves, to the point where she couldn't tell what was real.[/i] Lethe: ....no I'm not perfect. I should want to kill you. But I don't want to anymore. Sephiroth: I'm sure you'll get along well with me..... Lethe: Why do you want me here with you? [i]He gave her a knowing look and touched her hair, running his fingers through.....smelling the sweet scent she gave off. He pulled away the fabric of her robes, and examined her scarred chest. Moving his head down, he kissed the wounds he had inflicted, and Lethe's expression became one of pain.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue]Gugh, I think you missed the point.....and btw, Outlaw is a guy.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue]For your sakes, Duo Max Orien.....do us all a favor and please MAKE YOU POSTS LONGER! It's starting to get annoying. ~~~~~~~~~ [i]Lethe concentrated on the feeling of her horse underneath her and the rhythm of the footfalls. A quiet song began to hum to itself in the back of her mind, and she quickly gave it voice.[/i] Lethe: Elbereth Gilthoniel Bright are thy eyes and clear thy breath.... Idril: Oh star in thy sunless year, Gave light to us. Laitina: We who wander here, Amid this world of woven trees. [i]The three women sighed quietly, and continued.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue]Several things that are just starting to irk me. 1) Put a space between your words and your colons. Like this: AGHHH! Get it? 2) It is "flies" not flys. And it's "enough" not enoguh. [url]www.dictionary.com[/url] 3) We know who you are, you don't need to sign your posts. That's what the sigs are for.[/COLOR]

[COLOr=royalblue][i]Lethe felt Sephiroth's arms around her, and the two of them were gone. Far away from both the Highwind, and everyone else. Everything turned upside down, and Lethe let go of her better thoughts and slipped away. Several hours later, she awoke to the sound of Sephiroth's heart beating. She opened her eyes and looked up into his painful green eyes. He stared back and smiled.[/i] Sephiroth: You had me worried for a moment.....after that girl used your limit break, I actually had to use my power to break you free. Lethe: Why are you doing this for me? Sephiroth: ...you have the heart I like. Lethe: Jaded? [i]He lauged and stood up, still holding her in his arms. She loked away, but he touched her chin, turning her face towards his. He bent down and kissed her.....and she was lost.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue]Uh...which girl at the pub?[/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]With a quick twitch of her wings, she brought herself around to Sora and landed on his shoulder. They continued running, then leapt into the Gummi ship and took off. She sighed and looked around. Everyone had made it, thankfully, but it was still weirder than weird.[/i] Tinkerbell: I didn't like him much. Sora: Why? He was okay. Tinkerbell: He was sinister. Riku: Did he remindn of you of Ansem....or is it just me? Tinkerbell: He wasn't Ansem. Donald: He couldn't be Ansem. Tinkerbell: I'm not sure.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue]Nepenthe: ..... [i]Her voice echoed laughingly in his mind....teasing and taunting. "Did I make it sound like that? Oh a thousand apologies." He was about to reply with his own telepathy, when a huge wall of energy shot up between them and he was blocked. She smiled and leaned back against the cool cavern walls....mind games were wonderful when she got the last word in.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue]Wheee.... Name: Silalia Sevenstar Alias: Moon Chaser Age: 17 Nationality: Half Chinese, half German Power: Rogue's. The abilities of Marvel Woman, and the power to absorb the life force and powers of anyone she comes into contact with. History: We've all heard this before, but for those of you who didn't, she killed her own mother unintentionally. When she was out of the house, a dark sort of figure came and mortally wounded her mother. Silalia walked in to find him leaning over her, about to strike the final blow. When she screamed and rushed forwards, he disapeared, and she cradled her mother in her arms. At this point her powers chose to manifest themselves, and she absorbed her mother's remaining life force. This experience shocked her and frightened her so badly, she became completely paranoid about touching anyone. As of now, she will fight for what she believe is the just cause, but she also has a difficult time getting close to people.

[COLOR=royalblue]I think a frightening sort of twisted and evil female is in order now... Name: Nepenthe Sevenstar Age: 250 Clan: Unknown Animals bonded with: Spiders Weapon: Light throwing javelin, made of iron and cherrywood. Description: See attatchment. Short Biography: Born under the shadow of the ancient city of Orthobbae, Nepenthe the child quickly developed into Nepenthe the dark sorceress and warrior. Her mother abandoned her and she was raised by the monks of the Yatherine order. Thanks to their rigorous training, Nepenthe is skilled with both arts of hypnotism and deceit. Hence, she has this bizare fasination with arachnids of any kind. After a dangerous mix with a Vampyre Drider, the greater portion of her dark magic was sealed away. She managed to escape with three things, her life, her honor, and a massively wounded pride. As of now, she is pledged to Loloth, the Spider Goddess, and will stop at nothing to gain the power once stripped from her.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Lethe curled up in a corner of her room and buried her face against her knees. Not only was this whole ordeal making her sick, the fact that Aeris was back bordered on nauseation. She was too perfect, and could heal and all that other shît. She closed her eyes and willed herself to block off the negative feelings surging out of control within her. Then a very familiar voice broke into her thoughts. It was both seductive and cold. "You don't have to stay with them. Come with me." "What could you possibly want with me?" "You have a complex mind...and you think that scar on your chest meant nothing? It's something...and Cloud will never be able to use his like yours. You don't love...and he does." The voice was tempting, and Lethe could feel her better resolve slipping away into nothingness.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue]Nepenthe: Do demons know what the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes are capable of? I wouldn't have to touch you. [i]He smiled at her and she simpered like a moron. Then her gaze snapped back into the cool silver that could hold the ocean. She smiled and arched her neck, before returning to lean against the wall, Ambika next to her. The two women gazed at Jedah quietly....both not speaking, but containing a well of emotions inside.[/i] Jedah: You think I have interesting in a mortal like you? Nepenthe: ...did I say that?[/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue]Nepenthe: The Fire Witch King is gathering evil to his side...but it's a very slow process considering his location. This forest will be unharmed for a very long time. We have awhile to control ourselves. Siren: But you already have control. Nepenthe: Not over my finer magic....although getting somebody to let me practice my magic on is hard. Kato: Why's that? Jenica: They ususally end up dismemebered and dying.... Laitina: I know a resurection spell. Nepenthe: You can't counter white with chaos.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue]Nepenthe: And yet you yourself...rape our minds far more effectively than anything else. [i]Her voice echoed mockingly in the dusky night. Jedah turned and smiled at her...smirked is more like it. She stood up and stretched lazily, then walked out to look at the gathering clouds. Then, like lightning, she turned and shoved Jedah out of the way, water rising in her eyes.[/i] Nepenthe: The next time you bait one of us like that, I swear I'll call on all the powers of Ranga'Forne to destroy you. [i]It was only Ambika's hand on her shoulder that brought her back to reality. She clenched her teeth and balled her fists....Nepenthe was quickly tirering of Jedah's constant disdain of them....[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Lethe eyed Aeris thoughtfully. There were only two ways for her to have appeared again. One was the Crystal materia...and the other was an illusion conjoured by a very powerful sorcerer of some sort.....no other could have been able to reproduce a homunculus of Aeris that could be physically touched and felt and sensed....this real. She looked at Aeris....she seemed real enough. But Lethe wasn't placated....she couldn't be enough.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]The female Laporin clenched her teeth and her energy level plummeted to rock bottom....and Arano smirked. The look was immediately replaced by one of shock. Her eyes were not only rapidly changing from red to silver...but her body was morphing. Her spear was forgotten on the ground as her psyche changed from normal to completely feral. Several things happened at once. Her teeth elongated into fangs, her hands changed to talons, and her forehead quickly changed from humanoid to dragouret. Three horns sprouted from either side, and she began to look decidedly posessed. She hit the ground on all fours, spine changing and crackling to suit her needs. Her feet had been changed from five toed to only three, and all of them were covered by thick claws. Her shoulderblades itched, but didn't sprout wings yet. She shook her mane like hair and growled at Arano.[/i] Sabir: ....jerk. Arano: ...the hell? Sabir: You'll get used to it. [i]With a leap and a slight turn, she caught him on the shoulders and dug her claws in. Both sank deeply into his neck, and he shook her free, only to get kicked in the face. She whirled and landed on her toes. Then she stood up again and waited for his next move.[/i] [url]http://www.drowtales.com/~soulfusion/manga/sf20030110c1cover.jpg[/url][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Like a thunderbolt, Lethe's thoughts crashed through his head, quickly and painfully. "I have my own claim to fufill Cloud. You'll have to be quick if you want him to die by your hand." He stared at her, unbelieveing that her calm adittude betrayed such a dark and sinister thought. She smiled at him egnimatically and looked away lazily.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Nepenthe quickly ate and wrapped the rest for later. Then she quietly began to sew togtether the cut up deerhide...making a spare outfit incase the current one got ruined. She swiftly preforated the various corners and fashioned a short wrap skirt and a top. Once done, she rolled them up and put them into her botomless pack.[/i] Ambika: Cute. Nepenthe: The next one will be yours.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Ambika had just lit the fire and set up the roasting spit when the vines were cleared to one side and the two hunters returned. Nepenthe dragged her prize over and immediatlely quartered it and started skinning. Within moments, Aidian had finished his and it was begining to roast. After another minute or so, Nepenthe had finished her own work and was starting on the hide itself. The meat quickly cooked, and the scent of fresh venison and rabbit filled the air.[/i] Nepenthe: Good hide..... Ambika: This is crazy. Aidian: What? Nepenthe: I like deerskin. Ambika: Oh nothing....carry on. [i]Nepenthe reached into her pack and drew out a simple potion of her own design. She opened it, and quickly splashed the whole hide with it. In seconds, it was ready for sewing. She smiled and closed the bottle again.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOr=royalblue][i]Lethe quickly grabbed her various elixers and potions and dropped them into her leather bag, then she slung it over her back and tied down the straps easily. She belted her robes with the chain silver she had been given....then picked up her staff. With light movements, she went downstairs and pulled her cloak off the wall. Then she waited with Vincent.... Unconcerned, but somewhat worried for Cloud's sanity.[/i][/COLOr]

[COLOR=royalblue]Nepenthe: What is the meaning of my existance...? Siren: Get what you want, and dismemeber the men who get in your way. Nepenthe: That's about right. [i]The two women exchanged a playfull look, then burst out laughing again. Lacroix and Kinrade looked slightly ill. Not only was Nepenthe the very opposite of her sister, she also posessed not a tenth of Lethe's tact.[/i] Lacroix: You're crude. Nepenthe: You know you love it.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Lethe turned her brilliant silver eyes towards Idril......a soft pale light coming from them. She opened her hand, and the same radience came from it.[/i] Idril: Magic. Lethe: Yes....my mother and father taught me. Laitina: Who is your father? Lethe: I called him Novu...but his true name is secret. For now. Idril: Then why did you come from the House of the Lost Play? Lethe: I wandered there after my mother was killed. It's been my real home.[/COLOR]
