She is laid back and at times unpredictable. Most of the time she is calm and collected. Biography/Snippet: Haruyai was born in Germany and then moved to America when her father was stationed. Her brother was moved to England with her mother and she hardly ever spoke to him. She recived a letter from him one day saying that their mother was dead and that a wolf was responsible for it. She didn't believe this, she had read that woves were quite gental and would only attack if provoked. She decided to go to England to see for her self and for the funeral. When she arrived she saw her mothers body and told her brother that the marks on her body were to great to be a wolves bite marks, or anything for that matter. He had refused to believe her and tht night went hunting for wolves, late that night he burst through the door as she was reading and she noticed that he looked as though he had seena ghost and had quite literally soiled him self. As she got off the couch to ask what was wrong the door flew open and there sttod a monstersous beast that to her resmbled more like the demons of hell that had been described to her in church then any wolf she had seen in her life. It grabbed her brother around the throat and bit into him. Ripping his throat out and swallowing it whole it looked at her and she swore to the police it had smiled at her, threw her brother into the yard and ran off. She remembers to this day how she swore to her self that she would trap the beast and find out what it was and is.[/B] [/COLOR]

[COLOR=Purple][B]Arya ran over to Barcain and hugged his neck tightly. 'Little one what happended?' 'I don't know but I'm thankful to have you back.' He leaned into her giveing her what was unmistakeably a hug. She smiled and looked at his shoulder where the brand was blinked, it was Vincents brand. Not the Kings. It looked like his family crest. she smiled inwardly and looked up at the sky hopeing to catch a glimps of the man that had helpd her. She sent a silent thatnk you to him and climbed onto Barcain. 'Lets go home Barcain.' He didn't move he seemed to be listening intently. 'The Mar'kol have breached the Haven, they are coming in at all angles, they can't keep them out.' She heard the mighty roar of dragons and saw with a sick twist in her gut as the King and his drgaons took off from the desert. 'Barcain, we have to get there before them.' 'Agreed.' He took off quickly and with a burst of speed flew low and out of sight, both knowing the King was step behins. 'Barcin, relay it Aoki. They have to be ready. How much time do you think we have till they reach the Haven?' 'At the pace that they are going, a day minimum.' 'We don't have much time.' 'I know.' He pumped his wings harder making himself go faster as he relayed the message to her brother. 'Scrotch and I are letting you link with us so yuo can talk to him.' 'good.' She waited patiently to hear her brother's voice. 'Arya?' 'Aoki! We have a problem!' 'That's what Scrotch was saying, what's wrong, you PMsing again?' 'Shut the hell up Aoki! It's no joke this time. The King and his Riders are about a day away from the Haven Barcain and I are on the way now.' It take you nearly a day to get here as well Arya, how do you think you'll be ready by then?' 'I am useing my wind spells you dumb ass.' 'Well hurry up, we have tp close all entrances soon, the Mar'kols brought friends.' 'What do you mean?' 'Cralwers.' She shuddered. 'Man I hate those things.' 'Yeah well it's a whole damn army of them and they are all over this place. He sure picked his allies wisely.' 'Now is not the time to complimeant him Aoki.' 'Well either way dear sister, if you want in you better high tail you r ass back here.' Just as he said his last words the Haven shook with a load roar and they all smiled as many Crawlers could be heard screaming as a wave of fire blew them away from the Dragon entrance. 'Alright, let's close these gates.' Aoki was with her in no time and as they fought they close all the entrances but the caves in the lower Haven. "Good to see you again sister." "You too." She ran with him, her bow slung over her shoulder and her sword drawn down to the lower levels where it looked as though a massacer was developing. The Mar'kol out numbered the haven warriors a hundreed to one. She siced one down as it charged at her. "There's no way we can win this." "Nto right now, we can't find the Tamers, they havne't shown them selves yet." "How many could be controling an army this size." "From a report that came from a Dwarf scout. One the one you supposedly killed." "Him again. then where are the others?" "Most likely under the King as he flies right now." She nooded. "Well let us get to it then." She threw her weight behind her sword and began to attack, it was grueling and hard. Blood splattered the ground as she head the screams of Mar'kol,dwarf and elf alike mingle as they wre cut down or worse, eatten. She didn't even feel like it was het fighting now, it was like everything was slowing down and all she cold do was watch as her body moved on it's own. This was going to be the hardest war she would ever fight,. And it all started with an egg.[/B] [/COLOR] [COLOR=Red][B]Okay everybody! Ht first chapter of this is coming to a close!

OCC: [COLOR=Red][B]Alright this thing i sslowing down WAY to much for my good so I'm speeding it up. My brother will be gone for about 2 weeks as you see in his post. Please do not kill him off or use his charcter in any negative way....Sol is kinda touchy about that sorta thing.[/B] [/COLOR] ICC:[COLOR=Purple][B]Arya scanned the ground knowing that there was no one else to find, she had already found all the survivours and sent them to the Haven. A shadow passed over her making her look up and watch as a massive black dragon passed her and landed inthe desert to her right, she could barely make out the shadows of the other dragons there but this one tood tall and mighty above all the others, she could make it out good and clear among the tan and yellow sand. She felt her body turn to ice. 'The King....Barcain, we have to get out of here...he'll kill us if he knew we were up here.'[/B] [/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkRed][B][I]I already do Girl.[/I][/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=Purple][B]She froze as if something had grabbed her and felt Barcain turning to fly to the desert. 'Barcain what are you doing?' He didn't respond and she knew he was under the kings spell. She kissed his back spike loveingly and took her weapons and armor from his saddle bags and did the only thing she could think of, she jumped. She landed in the wookds not far from the desert and creid as she saw Barcain land next to the balck dragon of the king and looked at the ground then back as she saw a large man, twice the size of his son, get from the black dragon and walk over to BArcain who bowed his head in submission.[/B] [/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkRed][B][I]He is a good dragon, where ever you are, I will find you and I will kill you for the death of my son. Your dragon shall be the one to bite off your head. [/I] [/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=Purple][B]She looked away and ran deeper into the forest and sat by a tree, tucking her knees to her chest she sat there and cried. "Barcain...wenever knew the King could do that...take our dragons from us...I'll kill him for this." She stood and turned to go back to the HAven when the form of Vincent and Malestorm lumbered into veiw. She forwned deeply and knocked an arrow, not trusting anything at this point. "What do you want? To finish me off so you can get back in good graces with the King? Is that it?" He simply looked at her saying nothing, he was not threatening her or looking like he was about to attack her either. Hesimply stood there. "I wont let you trick me again Vincent...not this time...I may not have the heart to shoot and kill you, but I can still turn you over to Aoki and the high council." She blinked as he looked down at MAlestorm, she knew that they were talking, but about what she would never know. As he looked back up at her she hardened her fce again and pulled the arrow tightier. She watched as he slowly got off of Malestorm and began to walk towards her. "Don't. I am not going back to that damn castle. I won't!" She pulled the arrow back tighter till he could hear her bow straining, looking on the ground he could see a small pool of blood form fromher back where she had been whiped. The lashes had cut her deeper then what it looked. She felt her back bleeding with the effort of holding her bow this tight and knew she wouldn't beable to hold it much longer, she was hopeiong her backed down but he knew he wouldn't. She would either have to shoot or let it fall to the ground.[/B] [/COLOR]

[COLOR=Purple][B]The ship docked into the port as normal as any other, anchor down and sails tied down, the strange thing about the ship was that only one person walked from the deck of the ship and onto the dock. A young woman, she looked to be in her early twenties, rolls of parchment under her arm and in her other hand she seemed to carry a large sack of gold. She looked around and smiled, it was quiet?for now. Looking up the dock to the town she saw that the bar was still open and headed for it. Along the way she posted the parchment here and there so they would be seen in the morning. Walking into the bar she loosened her cloak from around her shoulders to show a light blue tunic with a black leather vest which tapered down her torso and met her hips where it ended, she wore tight black slacks, and boots the went to her shins, they too were black. Her hair was long, black, and curly, her eyes a cool crystal blue, like the ocean after a good storm. She surveyed the bar and sat down tossing a coin onto the counter and smiled as a glass of rum was slid her way. She took it up and downed it quickly. The bar tender looked at her and raised an eyebrow. ?What be a young lady like yer?self doin here?? ?I be lookin fer a crew to sail with me on me ship.? He looked out at the massive form of the ship in port at the dock and looked back at her. ?You sail that all by yer?self to here?? She nodded back and smiled as he gave her another glass of rum. ?What are ye lookin fer?? ?A crew like I said.? ?Fer what though, that be the question.? She took out a small silver coin that had a mini map on the back. ?You ever hear of the last treasure of Moishin?? ?The demon Pirate who was finally turned human by a special stone of some sort and then killed?? She nodded. ?That be the one, well he didn?t die right off, he hid that stone. It has powers that I?m told will make the holders wish come true, no matter what it be.? ?And you aim to find it?? ?I aim to find it. I have the map and I aim to look for it and his treasure in the Dead Coral Coves.? ?Yer daft girl.? ?So you say but I guarantee that there are some others on this land that?s as crazy as me and want a take in that loot same as me too. I put posters up to know to meet me here in this bar. After I have who I want or as many as I need we board The Reaper and set sail.? ?The Reaper? You mean? That?s the name of the ship that Moishin himself sailed with,? ?Aye that be true.? ?Where do you happen to come cross this ship?? ?Find it I did. On the shores of Kanel. I rebuilt it for 10 years of me life and then put her to the wind and water and here I be. She a hard ship to tame but I did it and I be the Captain.? ?You be daft is what you be. That ship be haunted and cursed.? That ship be a jewel among other ships, it bested all the ships that left port at Kanel 3 night ago.? ?Three nights? That?s not possible.? ?It is because here I be.? She stood proudly and laughed as he shook his head, she walked out, putting up more posters around the town as she went to the Inn for the rest of the night. The large ominous black ship anchored in the port towering above all the others and looking twice as fierce. Her smiled broadened as she put up the last calling poster.

[COLOR=Red]OCC: Alright everyone, do me a favor and read my posts VERY carefully. many of you missed the fact aht the king is still at the castle. He's begining the war not ending it YET. Right noe the tamers, Riders and Necromancers are heading out to the underground tunnles to the Havne. This is the first real battle between the two sides. NONE of the rides die in this battle, just hte tamers and Necros. Thank you.[/COLOR] ICC: [COLOR=Purple][B]Arya paceed the stables as the dragon healer looked at Barcains wings. "He will be alright, but you should nottake him to battle anytime soon." "I fear that may be easier said then done Orai. The Kings fleet is heading for the underground as we speak of it." "Do the elders know of this?" "Aoki is telling them now." Orai nodded and looked on at Barcain's wounds. "These are deep. All in all he should live, and so should you." "The wound, will it scar?" "Most likely, it is a cursed wound." Arya nodded as Aoki joined them. "Well?" Arya looked at him and nodded. "we are both going to live. Have you spoken with the elders?" "Yes, them and the dwarves are heading for the underground now. They say that us and the rest of the riders as wella s whatever reinforcements we have should meet there." "Under the waterfall." Aoki nodded.Arya took Orai's hands in hers and smiled sadly. "You should get the young ones to the caves in the back. keep them safe." Orai nodded and ran off to do as she was told. "Aoki, we should prepare for the worst, this new breed of Spreek, or Mar'kol, whatever it is should not be taken lightly. Barcain could not even keep up with it." Aoki nodded, his hand on his chin deep in thought. "Listen Arya, you should go and find the others who are gone and bring them back. But change into your armor before you go...it would be wise." She nodded and left for her room. 'Arya, do you think we have a chance at winningthis? If Vincent shows up-' 'I will do what I can but I can not promise his death by my hand Barcain.' 'I understand' She walked up to him a little while later, her armor made of pure crystal, clear and hard as dimands but vanerable for it was c\just a chest plate. Her helm and leg armor were plian crystal. Her elven silver blader hung at her side and her new;y repair long yew bow was on her back. Her boot dagger had also been sharpened to perfection and shined to a beautiful glow. 'They look as though they thirst for blood.' 'Because they do Arya. We must go quickly and find the rest before it starts. and as fast as they were moving it will start shortly.' She nodded and hopped into Barcain's battle saddle, White and silver, thick blades on the side for airial combat and spreading out to cover the rest of his back and legs, his aromor made to move with him was thin made silver. It came to rest as a helm over his head and eyes making him look almost evil. 'Let's go Barcain. The sooner we go the sooner we can come back.' He nodded and lifted his wings taking off fromt he platform and intot he setting sun. Both rider and Dragon a steady sense of growing unease.[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Purple][B]Arya dunked uder the water to rinse the soap root from her hair and came up flipping it back and out of her face. 'Barcain....do you think Vincent really broke his promise?' 'I can not tell you Little one.' She heaved a deep sigh and began to wade out of the water, Barcain wing sheltering her from the sun as he too looked away. She dried off with her rideing blanket and dried her hair and got dressed. She sat down on the shore of the river and looked up at the sky. 'You think Loki is with them?' 'You mean your best friend from childhood you told me about?' 'Yes, I mean if Vincent was there you think it possible that she is too?' 'You said you saw her die.' She lay back smileing sadly. 'Just a thought, I know she is dead but with Necromancers on his side the king could do just about anything.' 'This is true. Arya, can you really kill Vincent?' She rolled over to her side looking up at him as his neck craned over to look at her. 'No, I know I can't...I still love him Barcain...so very much it hurts.' 'In more ways then one.' She chuckled and stood up. 'Smart ass.' 'Better a smart one than a dumb one.' She smiled and hugged his neck relaxing against the warm scales and learthery skin and looked up at the sky. 'Barcain...the sky is getting dark.' Barcain's head swiveled around and then back. 'We must get back tot he Haven and warn them...the Tamers are in the forest, they are taking the underground tunnels that the dwarves have dug into the Haven...the riders are heading for the Sandle Plains to the west...the war will be there Arya...' 'And the King?' 'He is safe in his castle for now.' 'Damn coward....' 'You could not fight him any way arya, he is many times stronger then you, and your back is still injured.' 'Yes I know. I owe him though.' 'Arya, we should get back and let Aoki look at your back, it's bleeding again.' 'My chest is healed, I'm fine.' She stood up and looked around and stopped as a large Spreek emerged from the woods behind her and Barcain. 'Arya, they move as if whipes are at their backs!' 'I see this, get ready Barcain, I have a feeling that we may need to hold them off for a while.' He nodded as she held up her right hand, the white insignia glowing brightly. "Aslas!" The Spreek tore in half and from behind it a swarm of Mar'kol charged at the dead body devoring what was left of it. She ran to her things and picked up her bow and arrows. 'You do not have enough for this sort of battle Arya.' 'Send for Aoki...him and I can handle these beasts, him and Scortch should be here directly.' He nodded and did so quickly and Arya smiled sure that Aoki was getting a rude messgae from Scortch. She pulled back and arrow and let it fly into the chest of a Mar'kol as Barcain let out a jet of fire burning another five. 'Watch the trees, we do not want to harm them.' 'I know Arya, I know.' He ripped one apart with his wing calw and roared as a Mar'kol arrow pierced his delicate wig skin. 'Barcain!' Arya Jumped infront of him catching another arrow and fireing it at the horde she faced now. she held up her hand again and let the energey charge before she released the spell and saw with satisfaction that half the forde of Mar'kol were gone but dismay as Spreeks began to pour into the clearing. 'Barcain, locate the tamer.' He did quickly and roared loudly as he came into veiw. Arya almost dropped her bow as she looked at the very Tamer she had killed only a few days ago. he smiled with his pointed teeth and drew his blade again. "We meet again elf girl." She too drew her blade and in her heart wished that Aoki would hurry, she was good with a blade but if he almost defeated her last time, he would surely winm this time around. 'Barcain, keep the Spreeks and Mar'kol back, keep your wings tucked in so they do not hit you there. Be careful.' 'Same goes for you little one.' He stomped the ground and charged at the oncomeing spreeks as Arya faced the Tamer yet again. "So Shall we see who wins this round?" "I can assure you it will not be you." "You sound so comfidante." She smiled knowing her knew better just as she did and charged, their blades sang off of one another as they moved faster then anything there. she was putting all her heart and training Aoki had given her into the fight this time and was glad to see that she was holdng her own. "Your persistance is getting on my nerves elf!" "and your breathe is as foul as your fighting." He shoved her back and she bounced on the balls of her feet so she could move quicker if he charged. She spun around bringing her blade acros his and looked him in the eye, his red eyes boreing into her silver as if he were wishing that thoughts alone could kill her. She was sure that if they did, she would have died the last time they met. She spun around as Barcain roared in surprise. 'Arya, I have never seen these creatures before!' She looked at the monster before him and gasped, it was ugly and meanicing. It hissed at the one behind it and moved quickly, quicker then she had ever seen a creature move, they had her cornered and she knew it. She was still mezmorized by the new monster. It had black skin pulled tight over bones...where the eyes should have been were empty sockets and instead of a nose a long terrifieing beak hung like a sword ready to cut. They sniffed the air like hounds and closed in on her. She felt the fist graze her arm and grunted in pain as it burned. The second hit it's mark in her arm. She screamed as she felt white hot apinm race through her body, it was worse then teh lashings. It pulled back and she shuddered as a long black tounge ran acros teh beak hungerly lapping the blood from it. 'Oh my god...Barcain, they plan to eat me...' 'Arya, I can not get to you, there are to many other beastes here, are you alright?!' 'Barcain...he looked really good didn't he?' Barcain felt the cold dread at what she was saying and growled, regaurdless fo trees or anything else he let the fire loose and cleared a path to the monsters and Tamer who had his friend pinned, flipping one intot he air he picked her up and threw her into the saddle. Taking off he flew as hard and as fast as his wing s would take them. She cold feel the pain from his injured wing. 'When we get there, they will look at theat wound on your arm, I do not like it.' 'Nor do I Barcain, I have never seen a woulnd go black before.' 'Perhaps poison?' 'I do not know.' They reached the Haven just as Aoki was about to leave. "What happed I got a message from Scrotch say that you and Barcain needed help." Arya showed him the wound on her arm. 'Brother we have a problem...the Kings army is evolving..." He looked at it and nodded as they walked to the healer she explained to him what had happened and about he monsters and the Tamer.[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Purple][B]Arya, jumped up doing a back hand spring and winced as the pain in her back came back but the hole in her chest was gone. She looked at Maura and then at Vincent and her eyes turned dark. "I'm feeling well enough." She walked over to Barcain and reached for her bow but as she did Male storm roared at her causeing BArcain to roar back and before Arya could put a stop to it the dragons were rearing up on their back legs biteing and clawing at each other and then took flight still g\fighting. Arya looked at Vincent he seemed as much in shock as Maura but Arya had a feeling it would happen. She looked at Vincent and felt her heart wrench more. She knew what she had to do, but could she was the question. "Vincent, you know I have to corect this mistake...don't you?" He said nothing only looked at her. She looked up as the dragons fire mixed and decided it was time to go. She called for Barcain and as he swooped down and picked her up she dug into her saddle bag and pulled out a small frme that held a picture in it and let it fall to the ground. 'Arya, what was that?' 'The last part of my past Barcain...the last thing I had to let go of.' He looked back at her and saw her wipe her eyes. The picture had beed her and Vincent just before he had left, a letter was in the back of it. She could remeber it without even looking at it. -Arya, it's quiet here, like I told you it would be. I can't wait to see you tomarrow. Tell everyone I'll be home and then we can be together forever, just like I promised. Wait for me Arya, I will come home to you.- Arya didn't look back this time. 'Barcain, stop I have to think...I have to...I have to do something that will get this off my mind...I need to wash.' Barcain was uneasy about this descieon considering that they were only a few minutes from Malestorm, Vincent and the others. As he landed she jumped off and ran to a tree emting her stomch and then rested on him. After she got her nerves under control she walked to the edge of a river he had picked, a water fall and fairly deep water gave her a good area for a much needed bath. 'Could you warm it up a bit Barcain?' He took a deep breathe and let the fire fly and soon the water was steaming gently. He extened his wing and let her undress and wade intot he water. As she relaxed her layhis head down and rested him slef listening to her as she began to hum an old elven tune as she washed her hair and looked at her back. 'I'll be scarred for life for this.' 'I told you that my self.' 'Yes I know...but at least I know better then to trust him again.' 'Do you really think you can kil him, that's twice you've failed in doing so.' 'I don't know Barcain...I really don't know...' She continued to wash and talk to Barcain, the sore muscles and wounds slowly relaxing in the warm water.[/B][/COLOR]

My 'things' are actually people... I couldn't bare to live without my son and my fiance'. Even though the older fo the two can be a pain in the ***, I still couldn't bare to lose him. HIm being in Navy boot camp is bad enough. lol

[COLOR=Purple][B]Arya had been released from Aoki after being bandaged and had gone back to the Haven and had just been released from the high council. The sun was setting now, she had been lectured for the entire day and was now having a reprieve. She took a deep breathe and enjoyed it for a moment before she felt her pain return from Vincent's betryal. He had tricked her, told her he kept his promise then tricked her, let her be tortured, and then rubbed his misstress in her face like she was just a common fling. She felt her face burn from embaressment, after all that she was still not able to kill him. She knew he was alive, he had told her himself that if she shot him there he would not die. Arya slowly made her way to the dens where she knew Barcain would be resting and walked up to him, her breathe coming in short pants. Her chest hurt from where the Kings son had stabbed her and her back made her want to cry but she held it all in, all the pain, the hurt, the tears. She looked at Barcain and leaned on him while she caught her breathe. 'Have you learned your lesson little one?' 'Barcain, I do not need a lecture from you as well, I know what a fool I was for believeing I could still trust him...I was so stupid!' 'No little one, you were in love.' 'I still am Barcain, I didn't kill him, I couldn't...even aftera ll he did, I still couldn't kill him.' 'Have you told Aoki?' 'No he doesn't need to know...I can handle this mistake on my own.' He felt her heart wrench at the thought of what she had to do and nuzzeled her gently. 'I am here little one when yuo need me.' 'I need you now friend...I need you to help me hunt for him. I need to finish what I started.' 'You are in no condition.' 'I have to fight him, if I die then so be it, but I will not let him go, you forget he is injured as well.' 'Not as badly as you, but if you truely wish to hunt him down, then I shall assist you.' 'Good, then lets go.' 'Now? But Arya, you haven't had time to even recover a small amount.' 'I'll be fine Barcain. I need to do this whilr I have the nerve or I'll never be able to.' He nodded and helped her into the saddle and took off slowly so as not to jar her injuries and began to fly across the lans in search for the one who had hurt her so much in just the short time. They flew for hours and still nothing, she took a deep breathe and tapped him on the head telling him to land, as soon as he did she fell from the saddle and tot eh ground, he roared in alarm and helped her back to her feelt where she used his snout as a crutch, he could smell the blood on her and looked to the ground, it poured from her like a river. 'Arya, this is enough, your body can't take this, you have to let me take you back so the healers can tend to you.' 'No, I'll carry these scars so I know not to trust another with my hearty Barcain. No one but you.' she hugged him gently then slowly begon to walk towards the woods she looked back at him and fell as she passed out from loss of blood. Barcain took a glance back at the saddle and let out a snort. It was covered in blood and his flank was as well but his scales did not let him feel the flow of the red life from her. He looked at his rider, his partner, his friend ans let out a sorrow filled roar. He craddled her gently in his large claws knowing she would not make the Haven for they were to far away he took her and flew till he smelt people on the ground, he landed and looked upon Maura, Vincent and the stranger. He placed Arya behind him as Malestorm landed infront of Vincent and roard fiercely, Barcain simply lowerd his head in submition, smoething Malestorm had never seen a dragon of his size and stature do. Barcain looked back at Arya and whimpered slowly, he had seen Maura try to help through Arya's eyes and needed her help now. Stepping aside he heard Maura gasp as she saw Arya lying in her own blood and loseing more by the second. He touched Malestorms snout with his in a peace greeting and showed he meant no harm that he was only concerned with his rider, but as Vincent stood he let out a low growl showing he didn't want him anywhere near her. Malestorm growled softly as well, the tension between the dragons was thick and both knew that it was going to be hard not to attack the other. Barcain watched tensely as Maura rushed to Arya and looked her over seeing that she had ripped out the stiches that Aoki had given her and that her chest was worse then most injuries she had seen, the hole was large and went striaght through her.[/B] [/COLOR]

[B][COLOR=Purple]Arya looked at Aoki and limped in his path, her eyes too full of hate. "He is mine brother, I already made the oath. Leave him to me." Aoki looked over at ehr and saw the blood poolingat her feet and she saw his anger double and felt her's rise as well the wind in the area began to pick up as the flames around Aoki swirled around him faster. "Aoki, he is MINE!" The wind around her turned to a tornado and she looked at him, her eyes grey and menacing as she looked at him. She looked up as Barcain stumbled onto the falt of the rock and went to her, she drew her bow and repaired it quickly and knocked an arrow to it. spinning she looked at Vincent and felt her heart wrench. Her resolve was there but she didnt have the heart to do it. He looked at her and nodded as she aimed. She aimed insted for the spot her had told her to aim for int he beging. She couldnt bring her self to kill him, she still loved him to much, even if he didnt feel the same for her, even if he had found a new lover and had replaced her she still loved him. He smiled slightly and fell backwards, seemingly dead to the rest of the company. She raced to Barcain the loaded herself into his saddle and took off quickly as tamers and more riders poured from the moutain. The king looked upon his dead son and yelled out in rage. She looked back at the fallen form of Vincent and then up at Aoki who was still smiokeing from his anger as he pointed down to the ground she knew she was in for a lecture and healing. She obeyed reluctently.[/COLOR][/B]

Arya reached up and grabbed the girl by the throat and stood lifting her as she stood. "Why are you helping me? Why are you here? To rub it in my face that you have him now and I don't? What mor can you take from me? I waited for nearly seven years for him and then you- you take him...why should I trust you?" She threw her and winced slightly at the pain. Blood poured fromt he wounds on her back but her anger was more then the pain could filter. Her eyes had turned an unnatural grey and she was as tense as her very own bow string. The girl looked uop and shook her head. "I mean you no more harm." "Harm? You think that this is harm? Oh dear little one...this is not harm I can show you harm." She tore the golve from her hand, the one she used to take such care in taking off getnly to avoid ripping was now in shreds. She held out her hadn and aimed at the side of the moutain adn said the spell that had nearly anialated a whole town from her anger. Inside Vincent felt the shudder and knew that somethng was wrong, Arya began to laugh hystaricly and muttered the word. "Asla-tiriea" the wind was so extreme that the girl was blown to the side of the moutain and pinned there. The side began to crumble and soon a gapping hole was there, solid stone had been turned to dust and she wasn't done. She looked down and there the wind concentrated and soon a hole was there as well. She looked up as Vincent coam out adn looked at her. Her face was a bloody mess as the wind gashed and cut her face and arms, her back was bleedinf profusely now from the exhertion she was putting intot he spell. She dropped the spell and looked at him with hard sold eyes that held none of the wamth from before. She turned her back on him adn looked down the die of the moutain, she could jump but what fun was that? She turned as the kings son returned and smiled wickedly. He looked at the girl on the ground trying to catch her breath and cursed. "You let her loose?" Arya laughed loudly a laugh that sent shivers down spines. "I warned you, if I ever got loose you would die." She ran forward and grabbed him around the neck and squeezed, his eyes bulged and he looked around for some thing to use, he found a blade and shoved it through her chest. She laughed but pain fille dher body. "If I die, you die with me." She released the restriction on her powers and smiled. "Kazaa." His throat dissappered as the small tornado tore it from it's place. She looked at Vincent now, her eyes still cold and full of pain and rage. "Lying bastard..."

[COLOR=Purple]Arya fought against the kings son as best as she could but screamed as he pulled back her hair and threw her onto the ground. Vincent had been mistaken, he intended to show her to the entire moutain and make an example out of her. He pcked her back up and drung her to two posts in the middle of a large flat top of the moutain. She saw the stained stone and knew that the stains were blood. She looked at the man, her eyes dark with hate. "You'll warm up to me in the end lovely, they all do." She spit in his face and smiled wickedly. "Don't count on it. Vincent was the only man who ever touched me and he'll be the last. Not that I can say the same for him." He smiled at her and her resolve and twisted her wrist, she screamed and felt her breath leave her as she heard the sick snapping of bone from her breaking wrist. "Like i said they all warm up to me in the end, if not they die." "Then kill me now! Because I'll never warm up to you, you dickless sasquach!" He growled and threw her to two tamers by the posts who untied her hands and strung her between the posts then ripped the back of her shirt off so her bare back was showing. He looked at the tamers and pointed to one. "Bring me a whip and a bucket of salt water." Arya paled dramaticly as she heard these words but didn't flinch, he walked towards her and drew his sword, it matched him and his dragen, massive. He walked around behind her and brought the sword down across her back, the balde was razor sharp and cut through her soft skin like butter. She screamed as he made a gash in her back that went from the back of her neck to the bottom of her back. She looked down as he blood ran to the ground in a long gush. She looked up in time to see the tamer bring the whip and the salt water before her world exploded in nothing but pain. She didn't try to hold them back, she screamed for all she was worth. A part of her hopped that Vincent could hear her sceams so he would know what he had done to her. She felt the bite of the whip and then the sting of the salt water on her back and let the tears fall as quickly as her blood. She looked up into the faces laughing at her pain and made an oath. -I swear, if I ever get out of this...I'll kill you all...- Miles away Barcain went down in a flurry of wings and pain filled roars as he felt Arya's pain.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Purple]Arya felt her body lurch as the dragon descended once again and landed with a loud thump, grass it sounded like. She heard voices and then felt the pain in her throat from her earlier squeeze. She groaned as her body began to awaken. The dragon rider she had encountered lumbered over to her, his large hands grabbing the back of her neck. "Vincent, I brought back a prize for my father, a Heoul rider. What do you think? She's pretty is she not?" He held Arya by the neck at arms length for Vincent and the girl to see. She glared at him as a feeling of betrayl swirled in her gut. "You lying bastard! Wait for me my ass! Who is she?!" The man griping her shook her violently and she let her words die down to hate filled glares. The man she had given her self to seemed to have another besides her and she felt as if her world were crumbleing becasue of it but she would not let him see he had hurt her. It would give him to much satsisfaction. She growled as the man roughly threw her to the ground, her arms bound behind her back. She looked up at Vincent and growled deeper, her anger getting the better of her, something Vincent had seen once in his time with her and it wasn't something he wanted to see again. She struggled against her bods and fought with the man behind her. "Vincent, Mura get back to the mountain, I'm sure a show will traspire as soon as we get her strung up." Arya felt all the courage she had left fade, strung up, tht meant tourture, that mean violation...that meant death. She looked up at Vincent and let a singal tear fall from her eye. "I thought you loved me...you tricked me into going to that spot so he could catch me and bring me to your master...then you have him bring me here so you can rub your new lover in my face. How could you call your-self human after such things?" She looked at him not blinking and felt pain and hurt replace her anger and she wept openly infront of them. The man behind her laughed out loud. "She's a fun one Vincent, by the sounds you already know." He dragged her back to his dragon who let out a puff of flame burning her arm badly. She knew this breed of dragon, bred from the fires of Hell moutain, the king said to ride one as well. Lava dragons, their fire was hot enough to burn the flesh from a person in seconds. He had only given her a taste and it hurt. she looked up at Vincent but only saw a man she didn't know anylonger. Her anger came back full force. "When we meet in battle, my arrow will find you, and pierce your heart." She spit on the mans boot and winced as his large hand caught her across the face silenceing her so that she onyl sat and glared.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Purple]Arya stood waiting patiently for Barcain to come pick her up when she saw a shadow pass over her, it sent a shiver downher back and made her want to cringe. She looked up and swa Dark yellow dragon descned upon her and screamed. It was the largest dragon she had seen yet and was just as menaceing. The rider jumped off and looked at her, his size matched his dragon, he was massive. Advanceing on her slowly she lknocked an arrow into her bow and let it fly, he caught it deftly and snapped it eaisly with one hand smielign the whole time. "You are the best the Haven has to send? Well looks as though they need to get some better players." She heard the dragon sniker behind him and felt her knees go weak. this was no ordinary rider, it was the kings son, Mortago. He was as crule as the king himself or maybe, as rumors had it more crule then his father. He charged at her with all the force in his body and laughed as Arya tried to block with her bow, she cried out in dismay as it snapped under his blow. Barcain had her sword the only thing she had left was her boot dagger. She charged him and screamed as he grabbed her arm and twisted fiercly, har wrist nearly snapping with the strength he possesed. He looked her in the eyes and she saw with dread that he had her under his power and she was helpless. HE laughed in her face, his breath smelt horrid to her keen sense of smell, beer and roast that had been there for years, it made her want to vomit. HE picked her up as if she were nothing and looked her over. "An elf, father will be pleased." She felt her body freeze as she realized what was to happen to her, he was taking her to the king, she was a captive in this war now.[/COLOR][COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]-How could I have been so stupid!? Aoki you were right...I was a fool to go to him...I should have listend...-[/COLOR][COLOR=Purple]She looked up at him and tried to scream as he clamped his large hand around her throat and began to squeeze. She couldn't breth and soon felt her body go limp as she passed out. He hauled her over to his dragon and laughed. "Let's go boy, I think father has plans for this one." He flew off with Arya just as Barcain landed. 'Arya...Arya? Why will you not anwser me?' He looked around for a sign of her and found her broken bow and her dagger, two things she would never let happen. He roared in anger and picked them up raceing back to the Haven to inform Scortch who in turn would tell Aoki of his sisters dissapperance.[/COLOR] OCC: Alright, no one got to Arya's rescue, the king has her now and so does his son for the time being.

[COLOR=Purple][FONT=Comic Sans MS][B]Arya dropped to her knees crying, she had caught a glimps of the neckalsce as he took off. 'He knew me...he wasn't going to hurt me.' 'How can you be sure of that Arya?' I saw the necklace. You go back with Aoki with the egg, I want to be alone for a while.' 'Arya, I don't think that's a good idea...what about all these other hell riders?' 'I'll stay linked with you directly, Aoki can hendle them.' Barcain could feel the storm raging in her and felt that should deserved sometime alone. He nodded and lumbered off towards Aoki and Scrotch. "Brother take the egg and go back to the Haven, I'll be back shortly. I just need to be alone." "You can be alone there. You see these riders won't hesitate to kill you." "I can out run them." She spun on him then seeing the serious look in his eyes, thie same look he had gotten when they were children and she got into trouble. but she wasn't a child anymore. She met his hard gaze wiith one of her own, her hard exterior back she was once again the cold women from before. "If I find him again, do not worry, I'll handle it." "How? Running into his arms?" Without thinking she drew the arrow back and let it fly landing a centameter by his foot. "Stay out of this Aoki, you can't always protect me, I have to make some mistakes my-self." He scoffed, "This is the biggest one yet." He shook his head and climbed onto Scrotch and took off, Barcainm following close behind. She looked up at the figure barely visible in the distance to took off at a dead run catching up quickly, seeing them land she noticed where they were going, the ghost town from where he left her all those years ago. She held the glove alittle tighter and ran till she was at the entrance of the town, she could see Malestorm large wings uncurl from around his rider and stood still hopeing that if he saw her he wouldn't try to kill her before talking to her, just in case she had her hand pointed tot eh ground in case she needed to create a quick sand storm for cover.[/B][/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Indigo]Arya stood there and looked at Aoki, he was so annyoing at times but she knew it was out of conceren and she nodded and walked away from him geltly patting Barcain on the snout. "Wether on our side or not, I still want to know Brother....I just want to know if he never came back becasue he stopped loving me. I want to know..." She knew it was risky, could very well get her killed but she felt she had to know.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Indigo]Arya looked down, tears seeping through her closed eyes. She knew she was freaking Aoki out, it had been nearly five years since he had seen this much emotion from her. Barcain took a step forward and stopped as Vincents dragon growled. She looked over her shoulder at Vincent and his dragon. 'Barcain, stay there.' 'Arya, what will you do? Join the Impire?' 'Never!' 'Then I think you need to stop this and look at what is at stake. The dragon egg...' She slowly walked over to Barcain and Aoli hoped that she had seen reason and was giving in to himand Barcain, she saw him make a move and quickly shot an arrow letting it ring off his blade. "I said don't touch him till I talk to him. I think I at least deserve to know what happened all those years ago to take him from me. Give me at least that much brother." She brought out the golden egg and watching Vincent and the dragon closely walked over to Scrotch and put it in his saddle bag. She knew BArcain's strenghts and weaknesses and if Vincent decided he wanted to take the egg from them then she knew Scortch would have a better chance of protecting it then her and Barcain. She looked at her brother and saw him frowning deeply. "I at least deserve the truth behind his dissapperance and why he never came back to me Brother, I deserve that much." She turned back to Vincent and shed the cloak showing her black leather rider outfit and put down her bow and satchel of arrows, she felt Aoki's dissapproval but lightly fingered the boot dagger and it eased his stress some but he still watched her carefully.[/COLOR]

Arya stood between them, her arms held out like a shield. "No! Pleae let me talk to him brother...I know he's still there. I know it!" She looked at him with pleading eyes and saw him turn to Scrotch knowing they were talking , she could feel the emotion in him and knew he was going to have scrotch take her away. She raced over to Barcain and drew her sword. "I will fight you brother if I have to, but I am talking to him." Barcain shook his head and growled solemly, it had driven her mad and now seeing him was driveing her insane. 'Don't do this Arya, he's more skilled then you, he will not lose.' 'I will not let him best me. I have to speak with him, I have to know if it's him or not.' 'Your brother is right, he is not the same man.' Arya shook he head violently and yelled. "I would not love him still if he were not the same!" Both men jumped and looked at her in shock.

[COLOR=Indigo]she looked at the beasts and smiled, lowering her hood she walked slowly forward and threw out her hand/ 'Aslas" The two Mar'kol and the one Spreek were torn to peices. She looked up as one dragon still circled above her, she felt a sense of familiarity with this one, more then she had witht he last. She looked up her silver eyes glinting in the sunlight and saw the dragon stop and dive towards the ground, she replaced her hood quickly and retreated to the shelter of Barcain's wing as the dust rose from the dragons descent.She looked up as the rider hopped off of the dragon and smiled wickledly at her. "He failed to kill you but I will not." She tried to take in a breath but s\could not, her heart was beating to fast in her ears to understand wehat he had said. She walked ou tto him, her only intent was seeing if he were real. As she reached up to touch his face his dragon lashed out catching her with it's claw and gashing her arm deeply, Barcain leaped at the dragon but Arya called him off. 'NO! Do not hurt him!' 'Arya are you mad?' 'It's Vincent...' 'He is the enemy!' 'He is my lover!' 'Not anymore!' 'We shall see...' She stood up and lowered her hood so he could see her face and saw the realization hit him at who he was fighting, saw the shock and the hurt just as she felt and waited for what he would do next, bot dragons watching their riders for any clue of what to do next, staring each other down waiting for the other to make a dishonest move.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Indigo]Arya and Barcain were heading for the eldr's house when she saw the shadows pas overhead. 'Barcain go ahead of me, but let me get my cloak.' He stopped as she retrived her cloak and watched as he ledt her standing in the town square, she saw the dragon pass over her and let arrow fly past it, she was an excellent marksmen and had only shown that she would hit them if they dared come closer. She heard the mental reply from Barcain. 'The elder is slain but the egg is still well hidden I have found it.' 'Good, link with Aoki and get it back to the haven! We can not let it get captured.' 'What about you?' 'I shall be fine, you know me, next Aoki I'm the fastes runner the haven has.' 'But your hand to hand and close combat is worse then the others.' 'Which is why I'll shoot them before they get close enough.' 'I'll wait for Aoki or someone else to get here before I leave you.' He landed beside her, she could see the golden egg in her saddle bag and her resolve doubled. "Let them come, I'll tear them to shreds." She held out her palm, Vincent's old glove clutched tightly in her other and began to spin it slightly making a tornado. 'I want to see their faces.' 'Your being reckless.' 'It's the Impire and I'm going to kill every last one of them for killing him!' She watched as a shadow detached itself and began to descend upon her and Barcain.[/COLOR]

OCC: Alright for those of you at the Moutains I'm picking up a little pace, those of you not there yet when you jopin in just got to the Moutains and get orders of somekind, I dont care what and go. Everyone else just follow my lead. ICC:[COLOR=Indigo] Arya sat with her head on her knees thinking of her past when she was brought back by the low growling of Barcain. 'What is it Barcain?' 'A Tamer, not the one that was brought in but a sr\tronger one.' 'Where?' 'In the small villages near Brunium.' 'How do you know?' 'The elder in that village is hideing an egg that has not hatched yet, all dragons can sense when an egg is in dager.' Arya spun around as Aoki jogged up to her and smiled jogging in place. "Aoki, a dragon egg is in danger of being captured by the Impire." He stopped jogging and nodded. I'll Get Scortch and Barcain ready, go toell the council. Do you know exactly where?" "On;y that it's in one of the small villages of Burnium." "That's over 20 villages, we may never get there in time." "We have to try." They took off running as Barcain took off met\eting Aoki in hte dens with Scortch for saddleing and nudged the elder dragon gently, a sign of greeting for the dragons. Arya skidded to a halt infront of all thiose who had shown up. "Saddle your dragons we have a good sign that the Impire is on the move." She continued running to the elder's room and knocked loudly, he opened the door looking very upset. "Arya, what is the meaning-" "A dragon egg is in danger, Aoki abnd I have already assembled the Riders, we leave to find it and bring it back here." N|He nodded and she took of at a dead sprint happy she had not changed from her rideing clothes and ran straight into the dens and up to Barcain who hepled her to his back gently. She looked at Aoki and nodded, they clasped hands and then let go as their dragons took to the air nad left in diffrent directions, Arya headed for the town where Vincent had left her that day, the day he promiosed to come back to her and never did. She forwned as her resolve doubled and within hours landed at the Vilage. Smoke and ash filled her lungs as before. 'Mar'Kol.' 'Are you sure?' 'Oh yes, I can smell them, the tamer from before is here too. Arya drew her bow and kncoked an arrow into it, sahe looked around and felt a fear grip her hear like no other. She hear him before she saw or felt him, he was strong and she was going to lose she knew that. The tamer stood behind her now, Barcain roared and swung his tail but he was 10 feet away from Barcain in a flash, Arya still in hand. "Damnit." "Yes, young dragon rider of Heoul...you'll die here and you'll be only th first." HE tightened his grip on her throat and she fetl her air completely gone, reaching to her boot and borought the small dagger forth and cut his arm deep he released her witha flow of curses in the anchent tounge. She ran to Barcain's side where he let loose a long stream of fire and then smiled to himself. She gadped as the tamer merely brushed himslef off. Arya gorwled and drew her sword going back to the teachings that Aoki had taken her through, they were the best and they were pround of it. She twisted around him weaving in and out of his attack as they fought looking vor and opening but there were none. She brought her sword up to block an attack and threw her hand forward sending the Tamer back with a blast of wind. He stood and charged again; he was endless and she was running out of strength. She heard a loud roar and chanced a look as Barcain had begun to kill what look like more MAr'kol only these were black not oragne, they were Spreeks, the larger and more deadly form of a mar'kol. She felt the bite of the tamers blade sharp and painful go into her shoulder. "I will tell you my name before you die girl, they call me Bowen, I am the strongest tamer the Impre has and I will kill all of you rider of Heoul." she let him talk as she uncovered her right hand, her spells worked best when the symbol was uncoverd, she placed a hand on his stomach and let the words come from her heart. 'Aslas' The wind grew to such intenseity that she was thrown back was well. It was her strongest spell and it was made for multipul foes but this called for something drastic. She stood shakely and found the Tamerlying on the ground, his eyes dull, his body broken. He wasn't dead but he would be soon. She walked up to him and with her sword slcied hi head off. "If you the strongest I would hate to se the others who claim that title" She looked up as Barcain touched his snout to her wound on her shoulder and healed it. 'Thank you, now we have to find that egg.' She took off running through the town searching for the elders house, Barcain following close behind as they rid the town of the stragleing Spreeks. In the moutain of Hell the riders, necromancers, and tamers looked up as a booming voice filled the chamber.[/COLOR] [FONT=Fixedsys][COLOR=DarkRed]"THE HAVEN IS MOVING, THEY SEARCH FOR AN EGG THAT IS TO BE OURS, A TAMER HAS ALREADY BEEN KILLED. GO FORTH TO THE VILLAGES OF BURNIUM AND FIND THIS EGG! WE MUST NOT LET THE HAVEN FIND IT!!"[/COLOR][/FONT][COLOR=Indigo]Both sides were on the move now and both had the same goal in mind, get the egg.[/COLOR]

"Nothing 'creeps' me out, and actually I would perfer to be alone for the moment." She didn't even look as Requiem left, she knew she was being cold but truth was she really did perfer to be alone at the moment. The only one that knew what was going through her mind was Aoki and she wasn't sure she would want to talk with him either. Barcain landed next to her and nugded her gently. 'You must let it go little one.' 'Easy for you to say. He promised me Barcain.' 'You cant blame him, the Impire killed him.' 'Which is why I vowed to kill them' She leaned on him gently and felt the mental comfort he granted her, she welcomed it and then let him go as she stayed on the top looking out tot he lands below.

Arya looked up at the girl who had spoken for the first time since she had first arrived. "We wait, we wait to see if there are enough of us and then we plan, we try to see what is going on in the lands and see what is happening. The Mar'Kol attack I witnessed was only one of many massacers I'm sure." Barcain looked at the tamer and gorwled. 'I do not trust him Arya.' 'Nor I Barcain, nor I.' She took a deep breath and stood up streching her stiff legs and decided to take a walk. Barcain left her alone knowing she was going to think about the one that had left her behind. Arya sat ontop of the tall moutain top looking out over the valleys It was beautiful country and she loved it. she leaned against a large rock and let her past run through her mind, the day she became so hard and cold; she was sure Aoki remembered it well, just as she did. It had been years ago when he had left for the retched war and she had begged him not to go but he went anyway. She had known, just known that something was going to happen. And it did, the night he was supposed to come back he had been killed. It broke her to pieces and ever since then it was her goal to take down the Impire, she swore that she would kill the bastards who had killed him, she had trained the rest of her life so far for it when she recived Baracain it was a blessing to her. She looked at her gloved hand and sighed, it had been the only thing they could find of his, just this one golve, the only glove she wore on her right hand to cover up the dragon riders mark. She looked up to the sky as a singal tear fell and wiped away. "Vincent..." She buried her face in her hands and pulled her self back together putting her cold expression back into place and then stood just watching the sun go down.

Arya nodded. "Yes it was a tamer, a powerful one at that Aoki. He was controling a whole army of Mar'Kol...at once; alone." She saw the thoughtful exspression and took a deep breath. The Mar'Kol never come from the Dark Woods unless to kill cattle, they massacered a whole town under his influence. The Dark King has more power this time then any of the elders can remeber. Aoki, he has necromancers." She looked at him as his eyes met her's, Barcain's tail wrapped around her protectivly. 'Your brother, is he strong?' 'He's the best Rider from Heoul.' 'Good to know. I sense the Dark Kind getting stronger' She shivered at the thought of two tamers with the power this one possed and shook her head. "It is a full scale war he is after this time brother, I'm sure of it." She indean style on Barcain's back and crossed her arms looking at him silently.
