Raiha

[COLOR=royalblue][i]She smiled to herself. Not only had the guards put up no resistance, they had practically led her to his room by the hand. Maybe it was the wink. Oh well. Enough about that. She adjusted her shirt, well...if it could honestly be called a shirt, and waited. Then she cleared her throat. Almost immediatly, the auras in the room changed again. From a calm blue with a tinge of green, to a slight orange. Lethe's energy began to slowly tap itself.....and she willed it away. No sense in adding to the problem. The door opened. She looked him straight in the eye, arms crossed, hands empty.[/i] Lethe: Hello Christov, or do you prefer Flash? Flash: .....how much are they paying you? Lethe: Enough. But I don't suppose I should do Adrien any favors by doing as he wishes.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Half blind with rage and fury, Tarlain grew both her claws and ripped a series of lines into the cave wall. The screeching sound filled her ears, giving her a dark and hidious pleasure....when she stopped, her talons had not only been sharpened, they had grown longer than before......she retracted them with a soft "snick," then padded back into the moonlight. With a twisted and a spring, she dove into the waterfall's lake, testing the warmth of the water....and the vibrations from the earth. Medra was far away, but still within the boundries of Atenae. She could feel his life, pulsing through the air. Mana flowing, twisting in small tendrils around the ground. She reached out mentally, and called him. "Return." At first, he chose to ignore her. But there was a sound in her voice that he didn't recognize. Why did he not come? She called out once more, and his response was nothing. Hecate herself answered.[/i] Hecate: Why do you call this one? Tarlain: [i]I wish to see him again. Tell him for me please.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Her eyes flashed a pale silver. So this was the reward she got for being herself. Not only was the temptation to suck the life out of Aimee growing by the minute, the way that little bîtch was acting was ...... With a violent movement, she rose to her feet and stalked out the door. Tomorrow, there would be hell to pay. Moon Chaser's knuckles cracked involuntarily, and the feeling of destruction was rapidly overcoming her better judgement. She turned around and stalked into one of the alleyways, then shot into the air, swiftly moving out of the human eyesight. As she moved, hot angry tears blurred her vision. She had heard everything that had gone on, and she knew fury once more. They thought she was jealous? Of some airheaded girl? That was too much. Suddenly, she knew exactly what to do. With a quick backspin, she whirled around and headed to Xavier's mansion, head first.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOr=royalblue][i]Her eyes wide with fear, she turned around. She was inside the castle, but where was....[/i] Valeigh: RICO!! [i]She looked down at herself.....pale and fading fast. With the cry of a wounded wolf, she raced down the hall and slamed herself into the double doors. They opened for her, and she bounded outside. Once she reached the place where he had once been, she whipped herself around in a circle, then found him. He was crying, and he could not see her....even though she was standing in clear view. With calm firm strides, she got right up to him and looked at him. He still couldn't see her. But now, she remembered what she should have done in the first place. Eyes half closed, she leaned forward and kissed his lips. Immediatly, the world around her became solid, and she was real.[/i][/COLOr]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]She closed her eyes and leaned back.....air conditioning. Instant bliss. When they opened, she didn't realize why, but then it hit her full in the face. Two very strong auras had just entered her sphere of influence. And it was time to discover exactly what was going on. She pulled on her jacket again, covering her curves, and steeled her nerves. As she walked through the enclosed space, her thoughts slowly narrowed down to her objective, but for some odd reason, they weren't obeying. She kept on thinking about the problems involved, and whether or not she might fail. She hissed through her teeth and banished them once more. This was no time to start day dreaming. She stalked through the corridors and headed out to the strip.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]He approached her, looking calm and collected. She watched him out of the corner of her eye, but didn't turn around to look at him. The man was tall, strong, with a perfect build. Perfect..... He smiled and tapped her shoulder.[/i] Lethe: May I help you? ----: I think so. Are you the Hellcat? Lethe: Who wants to know? ----: Adrien of the Triad. We need the help of a proffesional. [i]She gestured and he sat down in front of her, pulling a file from his overcoat. Lethe picked it up between her fingers and quietly opened it. The information was basic enough, told the details, the time, the place...everything. She folded it in her hands and handed it back. Her body language spoke volumes.[/i] Lethe: You want me to kill a man that is not only genetically enginered, but a genius as well? And has a monster for an accomplice? Adrien: ...I think you could do it. Lethe: Why should I? Adrien: ..... [i]He reached into his coat and pulled out another letter. She read it to herself, then folded it and handed it back.[/i] Lethe: Deal. See you later. [i]She pulled on her jacket and walked out the door, leaving the man behind...with the check. Several hours later, she stepped off the plane and looked around.[/i] Lethe: I hate hot weather...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]The rest of the journey was uneventful....and the sun was low in the sky when they reached the light. The wolves song ended and Valeigh barked a short thanks. She turned to Rico.[/i] Valeigh: Are you ready? Rico: I'm with you, aren't I? [i]She blushed a bright blue and hid her face.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]She leaned back against the wall, watching them carefully......if one of them got involved with the girls....the turnout would be very bad. Especially because she recognized a few of the girls as her students. This would either be very embarassing or very frightening. Sil adjusted her position, and was immediatly noticed by both Craig and Seifer.[/i] Craig: How long have you been here? Sil: Long enough. Craig: Is there something wrong? Sil: If I were you, I'd be careful. Those girls are mutant phobic. [i]He looked at her, clearly asking the questions....[/i] Sil: I'm their dance instructor. I know them.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]She stretched luxuriously, refreshed for the shower......then Lethe stood and pulled on her usual black leather suit, boots, and gloves. Her weapons were quietly latched on here and there, but were not visible to the casual observer. Normally, she would appear to be a leather clad Chinese woman with a chip on her shoulder and a dangerous smile. With a few quick movements, she slipped downstairs and landed in front of the door. It was time to go back to work.[/i] Jenica: Still off killing people? Lethe: What if I am? Jenica: Don't let 'em catch you. Lethe: I'm not that slow. [i]With an easy stride, she walked into town....ignoring several stares. The door to the café opened and she sat down in her usual corner. The waitress didn't even bother asking, but brought the bagel and the tea.....then went back to work. The feelings of the people around her were harsher than usual, but that was to be expected. What with all the fighting and shock....something was bound to happen. Flashes of red and orange flickered here and there, while one man's remained a calm blue. This would be interesting.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Like a streak of quicksilver, Valeigh took off, straight into the sky.....the others followed closely, then realized her path. They were heading directly for the moon. Siren closed in and flew beside her.[/i] Siren: Can we do this? Valeigh: Sure! Just keep your aura intact. Let's go! [i]Immediatly after, silver flames errupted around her, and provided a sense of both strength and endurance. They continued and soon broke through the atmosphere's many layers. The moon loomed high overhead, white, stark, pale.......darkness all around, with nothing to relieve it's stare.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was him. Filling her vision, giving her both a sense of peace and calm. She knew he loved her as much as she loved him, and that knowledge was everything she needed. He awoke slowly, pains and aches gone. Valeigh unwrapped herself from him and stretched.[/i] Valeigh: Good morning. Did you sleep well? Rico: A little. [i]She sniffed the air, then tested the wind. A lone howl in the distance arrested her attention...and she turned to its direction. Valeigh howled back, then the voices stopped.[/i] Valeigh: They say that we are needed. Rico: Where? Valeigh: ....wherever Spyder is...and her love. That is where we need to be as well. [i]He stood up and grasped her hand in his. She smiled and the two faced the light once more.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]He closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around her tightly. She sighed and rested her head on his chest, tired and feeling drained. Valeigh looked at the growing plants, the only bright spots in a field of nothing. The two of them stood still for a long time, watching life grow.[/i] Valeigh: .....do you ever wish you had loved somebody else? Rico: No....never. Valeigh: I'm glad. [i]The two of them leaned back and looked at the rising moon......it reflected the light from her tears....and she smiled.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOr=royalblue]Name: Lethe Senica Sevenstar Allegiance: none Military: declined to state Age: 26 Description: see attatchment. Bio/History: Born in Taiwan, her family immigrated to America and raised her to be an free American....not a communist of China. After she graduated from high school, she continued her studies without any family suppervision. As far as they know, she's dead. But her home situation has always been on her mind, driving her to be anything her parents were not. Without a doubt, this has come down on her and caused a few problems here and there. Generally, she despises any form of powerful govenment that wants to enslave another country/race. China is merely the place of her birth, not worth of any loyalty whatsoever. Despite this self imposed anarchy, she is also an empath, feeling the emotions and dreams of other people. This makes her nearly impossible to lie to, or deceive. Psychic's beware. Although she has near perfect accuracy and is a good fighter, she won't hesitate to use other means to achieve her goals. For example: If she is hired to kill somebody, she'll do it any way she damn well pleases. Be it decapitation, asphyxiation, or any other form of murder. Anyone who wants her services, only has to pay the right price. In short: she's rather angsty. Supplemental: Self employed. Fluent in every language, thanks to her parents. Pet peve: Men who think they can get into her pants without a fight.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]"Don't you trust me anymore Rico? If I never loved you, I would've let Ochkik Haddah take you." She looked at him soulfully, eyes glimmering with unshed tears. This state of being bound to one another was almost too much. Valeigh looked away, the blue of her cheeks slowly receeding back into white. ".......do you want me to tell you the truth or a lie?" Once more, she looked at him. This time, the tears were real, and they fell to the earth. For every tear that fell, part of the ground transformed into grass, and it was healed. She brushed them away and the liquid fell.... Two roses and an iris rose from the ground, between them a double helix formed.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]She smiled to herself. Ochkik Haddah's laughter rang through the cavern, and he filled her with a sense of both calmness and reasurance. Tarlain rubbed her throat unconciously and turned around.[/i] Haddah: Did you seriously wish to conend with him? Tarlain: [i]Of course not......why would I do that when you're helping him? The Lord of Nightmares gave her a soul searing look, then smiled in spite of himself.[/i] Haddah: Do you think I'm helping him? Tarlain: [i]Are we playing 20 questions?[/i] Haddah: .....you can't expect any more from a Demon God like him. Tarlain: [i]I know. I'v ehad my share of nasty experiences with them. Or have you forgotten how you tested me with fire and water.?[/i] Haddah: Now who's playing 20 questions? [i]The female Dragouret hissed through her teeth and spread both her wings. "If he dies....somebody else will too."[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]He stared. Clearly, he had not expected to meet a She-Drow who was both bloodthirsty and a warrior. She smiled and twisted her blade around, remembering her traning.[/i] Tarlain: Power of Earth, Supporter of Life, Bend unto my will. [i]Her eyes flared white, then back to amber. The ground surrounding her rose into the air, impaling several orcs at once.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue]So she spread her wings, And held us together, We grew up as light, But she let us go. There was pain, And then there was suffering, We learned to deal with it, But we seperated. Jaudiar was dark, Ananda was light. Sundered but kynn, Bound with blood and love. I do not love. I must love.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]She smiled to herself.....they were moving forward, and the pain wouldn't be a factor for long.[/i] Valeigh: Love is strange. Rico: Why do you think that? Valeigh: My Spirit...or at least the natural part, is calm and all together, but the manefestation is in your hands. Remember? [i]He looked at her, then at their joined hands.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Her eyes hardened and she drew her sword. This was not going to be a pleasure excursion.[/i] Sinistrad: What? You think I caused all the trouble? Valeigh: Did I say that? I think we'd best go to see Agnia. Siren: You're kidding. [i]The look she gave Siren proved otherwise. With a simple thrust of her wings, she shot into the air and spiraled upwards.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]When Medra woke up, the first thing he saw was Tarlain's face, a few feet away from him. She was sitting down on the stone floor, legs crossed, hands pressed together. As soon as he noticed her, she rose to her feet and walked over to him. She placed a hand on his cheek.[/i] Tarlain: [i]Feeling alright?[/i] Medra: .......what were you doing? Tarlain: [i]Making this for a friend...[/i] [i]She opened her hand and revealed a simple red garnet. It glittered coldly, suffusing the room with a crimson glow. Tarlain closed her hand and looked at him again.[/i] Tarlain: [i]If I was going to hurt you, I could've easily done so while you were out.[/i] Medra: .... [i]He opened his mouth to protest, then closed it again.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue]Tarlain: [i]No thanks...I don't feel like it. She looked at him, then hoisted him over her shoulders and carried him the rest of the way. Once they reached the waterfall, she bent down, then shot across the surface of the water and pushed through the grotto. The inside of the waterfall was warmer than usual, thanks to the Eternal Flame. She smiled and rolled him onto her bed. Then she reached into her ever changing cupboard and drew out several different magicks. Stirring them with one hand, she turned the pages of her spell boook with the other.[/i] Tarlain: [i]Hmm, mind control, complete humiliation....hmmm....mmm....so many to choose from. He stired and said something she couldn't make out.[/i] Tarlain: [i]Go to sleep. Jah knows you need it.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]The moved forward together....the wolf's cries coming closer, then further away. Rico looked at her quizzically.[/i] Valeigh: What is it? Rico: Do you know how to speak to wolves? Valeigh: ....brace yourself. [i]She released his hand, then cupped hers around her mouth. She sucked in a huge gulp of air, then howled a wild undulating call. It echoed through the air, then the was silent. Rico's spine tingled. It was unreal, this communication she could make. Valeigh called out once more, and everything was still. Then she smiled and grasped his hand again.[/i] Rico: What did you say? Valeigh: I told him that we are passing through, and will not linger. He said that was acceptable. Rico: ....is that all? Valeigh: Eheh, I also said that we are in love.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]She was sitting across from a tall proud woman. Fearful of the power in her grip. Jaudiar sighed inwardly. Ananda had never been one to mince words. She laid down the truth quickly and without padding it down.[/i] Ananda: Fraternising with a human, mating him, and then not sacrificing yourself when it was done. Moonwings will not overlook this. Jaudiar: Then give me my penalty, it would be welcome. [i]Her elder sister kept her voice low. It was not as dark as she had brought her to believe.....and the penalty was enough.[/i] Jaudiar: What did Lingh say? Ananda: He does not blame you. And neither do I. You are what was promised, even if your mother hates it. Jaudiar: Nobody likes what they can't understand. I'm chaos. And so will my baby. Ananda: So you plan to leave her with the human. Jaudiar: It is not the best way, but I do not want Moonwings to get a hold on her. Ananda: Okay then. I'll keep an eye on her for you. [i]The elder sister rose to her feet and took her leave.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Valeigh closed her eyes and leaned back.... The energy was humming through the place, leaving her with a feeling of calm quiet. Perfect time to go to sleep. Within minutes, she was dead to the world..... Dreams endlessly chasing themselves through her head, loud, then soft, then cold, then warm. Her lips moved to a song.....dreaming again.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue]Medra: *grimace* The hell was that? Tarlain: [i]A silver kiss. She pursed her lips at him and winked. He groaned and slapped one hand to his forehead......[/i] Medra: I should've- Tarlain: [i]There is no way to counter it. Come with me, back to the waterfall. She rose to her feet and quietly levitated....he looked at her like she was insane.....and she smiled.[/i] Tarlain: [i]You're afraid to change?[/i][/COLOR]
