RPG A New Era, A New Destiny.

[Charles]

His tongue had explored the inner crevices of her mouth, probing, rubbing against her own. Axle felt her melt in his arms and moan. When they finally broke their passionate embrace, untangling their limbs, they panted heavily.

Everything was spinning, fuzzy. His head felt like a balloon without a string, floating into the clouds. Axle fell to one knee. The woman had enchanted him, he cussed underneath his breath. He shouldn't have been so careless.

"Who sent you," Jaudiar demanded.

Her voice quivered with malice. Now she was being careless, didn't notice him pricking his finger with the syringe. His target was closer still, and she moved in all the right places.

"My patience is wearing thin," she warned, shoving him down with her foot, providing him with his chance.

He jerked her down by the leg, and she fell as if by a gunshot. Axle mounted her, holding her arms down. Their noses touched. Jaudiar flailed her legs wildly, but the effort was futile. She could smell his distinctive odor, as he licked the side of her face.

"They're paying me peanuts for your head. You do know that," he teased. "But, I have an offer you can't refuse."

[starlight]

[i]Karina stared at the two almost shapeless forms approach her and the dark figure. As they neared they took an a more recogniseable form. Part of her hoped they were just an illusion the other part... hoped they weren't. Karina turned to face the Dark Mage beside her and glared up at him.[/i]

Karina: Why are you doing this to me!?

[i]The dark one did not answer her. She felt her heart ache as it had upon that terrible day and turned away, if they were an illusion she still couldn't face it. The Dark figure laughed at her and said in a singsong tone...[/i]

???: What's the matter? Can't even talk to your own parents?

Karina: Shut up, Shut Up, SHUT UP! You're messing with me and its not gonna work! These are just stupid illusions created by your dark magic to screw with me!

[i]The spirit that looked like her mother came forward.[/i]

Spirit: I heard that Karina. We are not illusions... we are real.

Karina: Stop it!! I'm not gonna listen to this crap! Last time something like this happened someone ended up dead! I'm not gonna believe it!

Spirit: Karina...

Karina: Not gonna hear it!! Dolosus Winter and his wife Ariel Winter... my parents died 1400 and something years ago! You two can't be my Mother and Father!! They wouldn't still be around like this!

[i]Karina closed her eyes and covered her ears with her hands. The dark form laughed.[/i]

???: Can you be sure of that?

[i]The second spirit stepped forward up beside the first, he crossed his arms and gave Karina the look that she had always used on everyone else.[/i]

spirit2: Karina listen!

Karina: I will not listen! You're trying to trick me and I'm not falling for it. So back off!

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]The fallen sorceress gave up the struggling, even though his touch excited her, she was not even going to bother spreading her legs for him....as soon as he licked the side of her face, she knew he wouldn't kill her.[/i]

Axel: ....offer you can't refuse.

Jaudiar: I'm not going to fück you.

[i]The man chuckled and brought his face far too close to hers, one eyebrow raised...she hissed.....he was starting to get on her nerves. Among other things...[/i]

Axel: That was not quite what I had in mind...we'll save that for later.

Jaudiar: In your dreams maybe. Get off me.

[i]She spat, and he dodged it....she resisted the urge to summon Maurii...it wouldn't save her now.[/i][/COLOR]

[Charles]

Axle cupped his hand over her crotch, and whispered into her ear. His gruff stubble rubbed violently against her smooth cheeks, leaving behind red streaks that slowly dissolved as her blood settled.

"Mmm, Sex," he questioned, "Do you really think that's what I want from you?

In one decisive motion, he forced her legs apart and bore a toothy grin. Her thighs were muscular. He rubbed his own body against hers.
She opened her mouth and moaned, despite her efforts to withold all fleshly pleasure. His tongue immediately invaded her mouth. Jaudiar's rigid body arched up. She wasn't attracted to this scum, but she found her own tongue rubbing against his in a slow rhythm, groaning under his weight.

Axle was no longer pinning her down. Jaudiar's arms searched frantically up and down his body, searching his muscular physique.

Suddenly, she saw a bright flash of light, her ears rang. Axle backhanded her. Her pink eyes turned red with rage.

"Sex? Sex," he said, now laughing, "why pursue what I can obtain so easily?"

Jaudiar's red hair spilled beneath her head like a pillow. Her face contorted in unbridled rage. She sprang up like a mountain cat and kicked Axle in his chest. Hard. He felt as if he would swallow his own tongue. Then again, and again before bringing her mighty staff down.

Once again, he gripped it, wrestling for control before yanking it and her in contact with his body. Axle pinned his new interest against a tree, and kissed her neck. It tasted like roses.

Jaudiar tasted the blue blood on her lips. She told herself that she didn't like it, but couldn't bring herself to summon the effort to break free.

"How would you like to be partners," Axle teased, "after we're both rich, we can finish this."

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]The furious sorceress forced herself to calm down and weigh the desicions logically. She could release Rajaah...or keep him in a subliminal state of control....that would work.

Oh the other hand, did she really want to pair up with a man like Axel North...? He was centuries younger than her but still strong enough to work her into a blood frenzy...the same one she was fighting down right now. She decided to go with her first impulse.[/i]

Jaudiar: Sure. If that means you'll get off me.

Axel: Hah.

[i]He smirked and slowly pulled himself away from her...the scent of roses still hovering in the air. She magiked her staff into her hand and gripped it until her knuckles turned white. It had been a long time since she had relinquished a battle to a male. The snake carved into the cherrywood seemed to be smiling even more than before. Jaudiar smiled. This Axel was going to get a run for his money.....She brushed his saliva off her neck and shook her hair out, twigs and leaves falling from it.

Axel watched her warily. She appeared to be calm and collected. But he had seen enough of her to know that she could change at any second. She smirked and held out her hand formally. He shook it, once more smelling that scent of roses...it seemed to follow her everywhere.[/i]

Axel: I take it you will not try to kill me.

Jaudiar: For now.

[i]She winked at him and brushed something immaginary from her chest. Her eyes followed his....teasing, snapping and sparkling with life.... This was going to be very interesting.[/i][/COLOR]

[starlight]

Ari: ....Then Kain started slashing at you he got you a bunch of times, it was awful. After he finished with you, you were badly messed up. Then he shoved you to the ground, I guess you were knocked out when you hit the floor. Karina took you to the sidelines, we thought it was all over for you and Valen, because he looked no better. But then Valen somehow started healing, got up as if he hadn't been hurt at all, and started kicking his butt royally! Valen took care of the demon warrior and threw him outside.

[i]Ari paused for a second, as if she was done. She looked at Vahn as if decideding to continue or not. After a moment or two she continued her explanation.[/i]

Ari: I went to lock the door, I hadnt seen how badly you were hurt yet, I had just caught a glimpse of you when Karina had pulled you from the line of fire... anyways you were bleeding heavily and Karina feared that you might not live if they didn't do something... fast, anyways they helped you out and youre still here... She must have done something intense because some of the slashes are missing. but not all of them...

[i]Ari sighed and rested her head on her arms upon the arm of the couch.[/i]

[Valen]

[i]Valen was off in his own little world as Ari explained in explicit detail to Vahn what had happened. He finally snapped out of it and looked at the two and walked into the basement as if going look for something.[/i]

Valen: Ah, this will do finely...

[i]Valen was acting like Dr. Franknfurter when he built his creature... but there was something different... for one he wasn't a transvestite, and two, he was building something a little more helpful than a creature... He randomly picked up peices of this and that and walked upstairs. He motioned for Ari to come. Ari went to the basement door and Valen led the way down. They got to the bottom of the stairs and Ari looked kind of confused.[/i]

Ari: What is it?

Valen: Watch...

[i]Valen unveiled his creation. It was a wheelchair for Vahn to sort of get around. Ari looked pretty amazed that such an old timer could build such a thing.[/i]

Valen: Let's head upstairs...

[Boo]

Visor: Then lets move out!

[I]They walk and walk the whole day and when they have finally arrived at the top of the mountain, its pitch dark allready.[/I]

Tyron: We should move on untill the temprature gets less low. If we rest now, we can die.

Shin: I agree.

Visor: Geez!

Shin: Hmm..... There's a cave!

Tyron: Lets go there then.

Visor: Woohoo!

Tyron: Talking about overacting.

Visor: Overacting?! Geez! We just climbed a whole day aftereachother on a mountain and when im happy we can rest you say im overacting?!

Tyron: If you keep up like this, you dont even need to warm up anymore. You're steemed! Man! Calm down!

Shin: Yeah, Visor.

Visor: *mumbles* yeah...

[I]They reach the cave and they decide that Tyron takes the guard. Or atleast. He vollanteers and nobody's against it of course. Tyron thought the whole night, but he didnt get answer to his question not even when the sun came up.[/I]

Tyron: Wake up you two! We've only got a little while to walk till we reach Karina's grave.

Shin: Lets move on!

[I]They start to walk after a short night. And when they reach the forest edge they feel a little tired allready. But they keep walking. No matter how tired they are. And after a little while, they see a statue with a house close to it.[/I]

Tyron: There it is...

Visor: Errr.... What happend to the grave?!

Shin: What do you.... What the?!

[I]All three of them now see that the grave lies in rubble and is totally empty. What could have caused this?[/I]

Tyron: What is going on here?

Visor: Maybe it was Aerow!

Tron: No. Unless his elemenal is ice, he can only ressurect his ancestors.

Shin: Then what happend here?

Tyron: Maybe she has been revived by an ancestor. That could be it.

Visor: Yeah! But... Where are they now then?

Tyron: I dont know.... I wish I knew.

[Shinobi]

[i]As Tyron stands pondering on the icey, cold, and empty grave, Tyron spies a person peeking from the side of the house, over Visor's shoulder. Tyron shakeshis head an rubs his eyes.[/i]

Tyron: *to himself* Mabey it's just i need some sleep, but i'll keep my eye out.

[i]Suddenly Tyron is attack...by...by, a small girl?!? The girl is clinking to his neck and sprawled over his back.[/i]

Girl: WHAT DID YOU DO WITH KARINA?!?!

[i]Seconds after the attack a man skidded round the corner and then a boy in some kinda of wheelchair contraption.[/i]

Man: Where's Kari...nnnn..aaaaaa, aaaAAAAH!!!!!! VISOR?!?! TYRON?!?!

[i]Visor putting back his weapon, while rubbing his eyes questions.[/i]

Visor: Valen?! Is that, really you? *pinches himself*

Valen: Is that really you?

[i]The Girl leaps off of Tyron's back and aks Valen.[/i]

Girl: You know these poeple?!?

Valen: I sure do Ari, This is Visor ad Tyron, the other heros that saved this plant!

Ari: But, it can't be, they're dea....but...so are you, so it makes sense.

[i]As the half boy half machine contraption lurks in the background, while all the greetinga dn hugging continues he just sulks as he was the last out of the house when he hears a rustle in the bushes. He signals the group who ignore him. He furiosly rolls himself in, crushing everyones toes except Ari's. As he explained the rustling the reunited friends went to investegate.[/i]

Visor: Hey we've only been here 10 minutes and were on an adventure again already!

Tyron: Visor, Shh this might be dangerous and there is time later for jokes.

[i]As the near the bushesa dark figure punces out jumping over all there heads and landing behind them, everyone turns to face the prowler...[/i]

Secret Headquarters of the Korean Dynasty Syndicate

1600 hours[/b][/center][/color]

Violet's chest lingered in front of the colonel's awestricken mug. His hands reached slowly for her bra strap, his fingers trembled with delight. For the past three months, the largest drug syndicate in the world had been his right hand, she, his left.

Under normal circumstances, women meant nothing to him. Then, she dropped into his lap--literally. Initially, Violet was nothing more than his personal entertainer.

She had something most women could ever have--a tolerance for him. Violet wasn't intimidated by his stone eyes, green fatigues, or his unwavering power. Although she danced for him, she didn't seem to particularly care for his presence. Only recently, had she warmed up to him.

She would slink up to him, purring like a kitten, rubbing against him. He would wrap his large hands around her waist. But, she refused to sleep with him--until now.

Now, she whispered hoarsely in his ear, her voice quaking with passion, "I've been waiting for this a long time..."

"Yes, yes, " he gulped, now sweating, "AS have I."

Violet bit his ear tenderly and continued, "I've been waiting to cut you off at the balls."

Glass rained down upon them, an explosion of jagged shards. In one swift move, Violet plunged a dagger in Tsung's crotch, and slit his throat. The murder was so quick, nary a drop of blood was spilled.

A band of individuals clad in skintight leather, and black masks slid down their own respective ropes into the room, their boots crunching on glass and lush carpet.

"Did you get the files," one of them shot at Violet.

"Relax," she returned, rubbing against him, teasing the folder before his eyes.

He pulled his mask up slightly, revealing his mouth, and the two locked lips in passionate embrace.

"You two are like a couple of animals," another said, "I'm surprised you haven't let the band have a go at her yet. You must really like this one Axle."

Pushing Violet away, Axle said angrily, "We're not supposed to use our real names yet, *******."

"The area is secure," another figure said.

"Good" said Jaudiar, "I can't stand this ****** alias any longer. Couldn't you have come up with something better than [I]Violet[/I]?

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue]Axel: *chuckle* No.

Jaudiar: ....bastard.

Axel: ...mhmmm?

[i]She hissed and prepared to rip the file in half. He quickly snatched it out of her hands and raised one of his own. She bent over backwards avoiding his slap easily. Then she danced out of the way and shook her finger at him.[/i]

Jaudiar: Naughty naughty...

Axel: Shall we?

Jaudiar: Lets...[/COLOR]

[Valen]

[i]Valen glares at Tyron, Shin, and Visor for even being here without permission. He draws his sword and touches Tyron on the shoulder with the sword.[/i]

Tyron: Hey!? What gives, Valen!?

Valen: You all have no permission to be here.

Visor: Dude! Where'd you hide Karina?

Valen: Heh... None of your business... Ari, take Vahn inside...

Ari: Ok.

[i]Ari takes Vahn inside and stays with him while Valen had fun outside.[/i]

Valen: Now, you have two choices, leave...

Tyron: ... Or?

[i]Valen polishes the tip of his sword and shines the light into Tyron's eyes.[/i]

Valen: Answer your question?

Tyron: ...

[starlight]

[i]Ari quickly made her way inside and slammed the door behind her and Vahn. She leaned against the door panting.[/i]

Ari: Man that was freaky! Where are all these dead people coming from?!

[i]She looked at Vahn as if asking him if he knew. He gave a small shrug and shook his head. Ari moved away from the door still gripping her staff tightly as if it gave her some form of comfort, even though she had no clue how to use it to her advantage. She faced the door as if awaiting some kind of attack. Vahn still only able to whisper turned to Ari.[/i]

Vahn: Maybe it would be wise if we moved [i]away[/i] from the door?

Ari: Yeah you're right Vahn.

[i]Ari wheeled Vahn away from the door, back over to the rec room so they could both watch whatever Valen was doing out there. Ari helped Vahn back onto the couch.[/i]

Ari: No offense but you kind of remind me of an egyptian mummy!

[i]Vahn gave Ari a "dont push it" look so she shut up immediately.[/i]

Ari: Sorry Vahn that one slipped.

[Valen]

Visor: You've changed, Valen.

Valen: Really? How so?

Visor: You've never been this protective of anything... except Karina...

Valen: Just what exactly are you implying?!

Visor: Nothing, just that you've changed... and it seems that you li--

[i]At that, Valen raised his sword looking as if he was attempting to do to Visor what he should have done long ago when he had the chance...[/i]

Valen: Shut up, Visor...

Tyron: So it's true! Valen like---

[i]Valen threw a slash barely missing Tyron's throat. Tyron shut up quickly. Valen jumped over the two ready to strike. Tyron and Visor looked at each other while Shin looked on from a safe distance. Valen glared at Shin, then back at Visor, then Tyron. He hoped Ari was watching, for this would lead to her first lesson.

The three engaged in battle. Visor swung, Valen countered. Tyron swung, Valen dodged. This went on for about ten minutes. Valen had had enough. He leapt back and charged his first offensive attack. His eyes went a crimson shade and his entire body became shrouded in crimson light. He pointed his finger at Tyron, then Visor. An orb of compact crimson energy sped towards the two and exploded on contact sending them flying into a nearby tree.

Valen walked up to the two, looked down at Tyron and shook his head in shame.[/i]

Valen: I thought you were a better fighter than that! I mean, after 1400 years...

Tyron: ...

Valen: Heh...

[i]Ari called out for Valen to come help her change Vahn's bandages. He walked away from the two as he sheathed his saber.

Inside the cottage, Valen and Ari slowly unwrapped Vahn's bandages while Tyron and Visor looked on from the window.[/i]

Visor: So this is why he's so uptight... without Karina around, he's hopeless... he's stuck taking care of two children when he can barely take care of himself.

Tyron: Hey, he's a much better father than you could ever hope to be... storing weapons in a fridge... come on!

Valen: Well, there you go Vahn... all new bandages...

Ari: Yeah, and your wounds look much better. Who knows, maybe you'll be able to move around sooner than we thought!

Vahn: really? i hope so... this sucks to no end! .....ow....

[starlight]

[i]Karina still kept her eyes and ears closed to the spirits and the dark one. She wasn't going to listen. The 2nd spirit/Karina's father glared at the dark mage, as the mage disappeared into the shadows of the crypt, leaving the spirits all alone with Karina. It was obviously seen that Karina had the same build as her Mother, and the same piercing golden eyes, attitude, and the stubborn ways of her Father.[/i]

Spirit1/Ariel: Shes still stubborn Dolosus, just like you were...

Spirit2/Dolosus: I know... We have to somehow get to her... We don't have much time Ariel...

Spirit2/Dolosus: I still cant believe how stubborn she is... Karina listen! We are not illusions!!

Karina: Still not listening!

Spirit1/Ariel: Its next to hopeless Dolosus... Oh my poor child... She grew up... and she doesn't even recognise me!

Spirit2/Dolosus: Gee i wonder why Ariel! I mean we did die and leave her! She was forced to grow up and learn to live with the fact that we werent around anymore Ariel, no wonder why shes so unwilling to listen... I mean, would you be willing?...

Ariel: ...I suppose not... But she wont even look at me! You know how painfull this is?!

Dolosus: I know... hmmm... idea time! KARINA WINTER YOU LOOK ME IN THE FACE AND QUIT ACTING LIKE A COWARD!

[i]Karina's head snapped up, she glared at him defiantly.[/i]

Karina(sarcastically): I'm a married woman "sir" I no longer bear that last name!

Dolosus: You mean you are a widower!

Karina: Shut up! You're not my parents... They're dead.

[i]Karina looked at the band upon her right ring finger. She slipped the ring off, and whipped it deep into the crypt... she didn't know why she had done that, but the spirits were right, her husband was long since dead. She got up and looked at the ceiling of the darkened cavern.[/i]

Karina: Why must we all be tortured like this!? You took my husband, my child, and my family!

Ariel: Karina... We are still here, please look at me daughter, we may not be as you remember us, but please... Don't turn away.

Dolosus: Its no use Ariel, I cant find her sister, she never came here, Karina is all we have... But she won't even look at us let alone listen.

[Boo]

Aerow: This is being a little to warm hearted for me. The part that you were attacking Visor and Tyron, Bravo! But then you turned all father-like again and thats something that you should've leaved.

Tyron: Aerow...

Valen: And who might you be?

Aerow: Im Aerow, the descendant of Tyron.

Tyron: Im not so proud of it.

Aerow: Do you think im proud that i have a weakling as my ancestor?

Visor: What are you doing here anyways?!

Aerow: Well. If you want to know. I came here for the same reason like you; Karina. But you were here just to visit her grave. I wanted to take my chance to make sure no one would revive her. I guesse im too late.

Valen: Would you just mind leaving?

Aerow: In fact, no.

Visor: Then its just too bad for you, because we'll just make you leave!

Aerow: Tssk, tssk.... So big words for such a weak warrior. Just like my little ancestors. Yes, I mean Tyron and your father.

Visor: Now you've gone too far!!!

[I]Visor charges at Aerow, but Aerow grabs his blade from his back and holds it so that everyone can see it good. Visor jumps back with a shocked face.[/I]

Valen: Its impossible...

Aerow: Nope. Its Lacroix's Twin Viper.

Visor: But... how?

Aerow: Must you know everything?

[I]Aerow points his finger at the window Vahn and Ari are behind.[/I]

Aerow: What would happen if I would shoot now?

Valen: Dont even think about it.

Aerow: Wasnt this the blade that killed you last time?

Valen: ....

Aerow: You can attack when you can.

[I]On that moment a ball of lightning struck Aerow's hand.[/I]

Tyron: ....

Aerow: Hmph. Say goodbye to those little one's!

Tyron: Dont even try!

Aerow: By bye!

Valen: Noooo!

[I]Aerow shoots a ray at the direction where Ari and Vahn are. Will it hit?! But no! There stands Valen and he slammed away the ray.[/I]

Aerow: Bravo again! You could've been dead you know.

Valen: Shut up! No one will touch these children!

Aerow: Then I will just leave if you wont cooperate huh?

Shin: Do that!

Tyron: Get back!

[Shinobi]

[i]Aerow leaps into the dark, camouflage of the bushes and forrest, as he grins when he puonces away.[/i]

Valen: Ah, i will kill him, slowly. Why are you'se still here? I say! Be gone with you.

Visor: Ok, Valen, you've changed, alot. Your just a prick now! I mean, yeah sorry, we came out of the blue,but did we know you were revived? no! So please, tell us were Karina is! *mumbles* so we can get you back to normal.

Valen: And what was that you mumbled?

Visor: Nothing! Now tell us.

Tyron: Yes Valen, we will meet again, we are still hopefully great buddies, We shall leave you, as soon as you tell us were Karina is.

Valen: No! *to himself* She's mine! She's ALL Mine!...What am i saying? She sin't a possestion, wait...could this be lov....

[i]Valen could not finish his mind sentance, he was struck on the head with the end of Visor's Sword of Justice (SoJ). Valen, lay there for a small while.[/i]

Tyron: Um, Visor, wasn't that a bit....rough?

Visor: Hell, no! I need to knock some sense into him, sudenly he has changed, i dunno why, but i have a feeling it's something to do with magic!

Tyron: Hmmm, yes, i think so.

Shin: o_O, mabey you guys didn't have this in your day, but...it looks like love to me. He obviously loves Karina and those two, scared, frightened children.

Visor: ...

Tyron: ...

Shin: Heh, yup. That's it.....just plain, love.

Visor: Yeah, well....I don't like it!

Tyron: Mabey if we get Karina back, then he would be fine again.

Visor: :naughty: I have an idea.

[i]Visor walks into the house, the two children are scared boneless.[/i]

Tyron: We are not here to hurt, we are friends of Valen and Karina.

[i]The boy and gil just stare at them. Valen awakens outside, he flies into the house shouting and screaming.[/i]

Valen: LEAVE THEM OUT OF THI....

[i]He finds them sitting drinking tea and eating some cake.[/i]

Tyron: Ok, since your awake. Were is Karina?

Valen: I....I....Never you mind!

Visor: You best tell us!

Valen: What are you going to do? Hmmm? Try and hurt me?!?! ha!

Visor: Yup, I'm gonna hurt you, just not physicaly.

[i]Visor withdraws his Machette and Samuria. Holding one at Ari's throat the other at Vahn's.[/i]

Visor: You see Valen, were still friends, you're just to warped up in some day dream of what ever has happened her. So just tell us were Karina is...and we will be on our way. *looks at teh boy and girl* Ari...Vahn, i'm not gonna hurt you, honest, this this the only way i can get it out of Valen, he is just so...Love Struck.

Valen: What?!? What are you talking about?!?! ....Ok. I'll tell.

[i]Valen tell's the story of how Vahn was attacked and how Karina was took way by the Dark Mage. He explained in full detial.[/i]

Valen: Ok!? Now just let them go!

Visor: Sure thing, Well guys, you know what we have to do.

Shin: Find Karina?

Visor: Yup.

Tyron: I still cant beleive she would just give up like that.

Valen: Well she did, NOW LET THEM GO!

Tyron: Calm down, Geez, you have changed! Visor, let them go.

Visor: I wasn't gonna hurt them, they are great! Thansk for the tea and cake by the way.

[i]As the trio of warriors walked through the door, Valen glared at them to no extent.[/i]

Tyron: *to the rest of the trio (out of Valen's hearing)* Man, we need to get him Karina fast!

[starlight]

[i]Karina still raging and strangly enough in despair, was tuneing into the 2 spirit's conversation, and from what she was hearing, she was starting to believe what they were trying to say to her. Still they might be trying to trick her... So she totally ignored the conversation.[/i]

Dolosus: Shes not going to listen.

Ariel: We have to try Dolosus!

Dolosus: I dont see how she will listen to us... Ariadne! Where did you go!?

[i]Dolosus wandered down the tunnel and out of sight still calling his other daughters name, leaving Ariel and Karina alone. Karina watched him leave, she then turned to Ariel.[/i]

Karina: Fine since you seem so intent on changing my mind... I give you one minute to change my mind! Starting NOW!

[i]Karina sat down and listened. Ariel tensed up for a moment before crouching down in front of Karina.[/i]

Ariel: Fine you want proof!? Ask me anything only I would know!

Karina: :devil: If you insist... How did my mother teach me magic?

Ariel: I gave you a book for study, but when that didn't work and you couldn't focus. I gave you a staff so you could focus your energy better.

Karina: Ok, that one was right... Next question! What is my element and why do I favor it?

Ariel: Simple, Ice element is your element, and the reason you favor it so... is because of our families close ties with the arctic regions, you found it out one day when I was still teaching you. You had decided that Ice was going to be your element even if it killed you!

Karina: Dam another point! I lengthen the quiz time to 5 minutes... Ok next question, this one only Mom knew... Why was I so intent on learning to use a sword and throwing stars?

[i]Ariel smiled at the girl then answered.[/i]

Ariel: Because you were, no offense... a bit of a wuss when you were a kid, and one day 3 of the young boys from your fathers class beat up on you when you asked to join them. They told you that girls cannot fight and should not meddle in their affairs. You wanted to prove them wrong, so you went and asked your Father. He refused, so you asked me to help you get in. It took a few schemes and failures, but eventually I just went and told him to let you in unless he wanted to get me pissed... and you know the consequenses of pissing me off are. And by the time you were 13 you outdid most of the guys in your class!

[i]Karina hid a smile, if this was a fake then it must have been an exact duplicate of her mom! still... one more question was in the works...[/i]

Karina: One last question... Was I adopted?

[i]Karina burst out laughing and immediately slapped her hand over her mouth to silence herself. Ariel smiled, her daughter believed her![/i]

Karina: You dont need to answer that one

Ariel: Karina... you believe me... don't you?

Karina: I do... yet I don't.

[i]Karina got up and started walking around the crypt as she spoke.[/i]

Karina: I cant be sure of anything anymore. Sure you look like my Mother, talk like my Mother and even act like my Mother... But are you her? See, to me... She's still long gone... Though I still have her with me. Same case with my Dad. I cant change what Ive been believing... this is something that Ive [i]Forced[/i] myself to believe for such a long time... I'm sorry I cant just accept it just like that...

[i]Karina went over, sat against the rock wall and sighed. Why couldnt anything be ever be easy?[/i]

[Valen]

[i]Valen leaned back on the couch and mumbled about the brothers...[/i]

Valen: Stupid boneheads... they could never understand anything...

Ari: Valen...?

Valen: ... Yes, Ari?

Ari: What's wrong? Was it something they said to get you angry like that? Do you really like Karina that much?

Valen: ... I'll admit she's like a sister to me...

Ari: A sister? Wow... never thought of it that way...

Valen: Anyway, since she probably won't be able to teach you much, are you ready to start your training?

[Boo]

[I]While the three warriors walk on insearch of Karina, Aerow sits against a tree, deep in the darkest of the woods. No one dares to come there so he can sit in rest there.[/I]

Aerow: damn you Tyron!... Damn you Valen!.... Damn you Visor!... Damn you Karina!... DAMN THIS WORLD!

[I]"Now, now. Calm down."[/I]

Aerow: Why should I?! Everyone has been revived! How am I supposed to kill them all?!

[I]"You arent."[/I]

Aerow: What do you mean?!

[I]"There are more evil warriors around here. Let them take care of them and then you just make my road free."[/I]

Aerow: More warriors?

[I]"yes."[/I]

Aerow: What ever. I want Tyron. And also that brat that attacked me when I wanted to revive Tyron! If he wasnt here, I wouldnt even have revived Visor!

[I]"Are you forgetting about Valen? Maybe you have nothing against him, but maybe he has something against you huh?"[/I]

Aerow: Whatever! Ill just leave now because I want to keep up with them, incase they find Karina. She might be weak enough to take over.

[I]"Do that."[/I]

[Shinobi]

[i]The trio, walk for days on end, in search for their ice cool chum, Karina. They walked from the deepsest and darkest corners of the forrest, but nothing had came up, until they reached the edge of the forrest, they felt some strange presences. They appeared to be in some kind of cemetary...[/i]


OOC: Sorry for the short post. >_<

[starlight]

[i]...Her magic wasn't working.

Karina had tried to use her most favourite spell, Hail Storm to possibly bash at the walls to free herself many times, but the ice never came to her whenever she tried to summon it's power. But still she tried everything to possibly get it to come to her. Dolosus had eventually returned after searching for his other daughter, Karina?s twin, but with no results. He wasn?t the only one who had returned, the other dark spirits from before had come back and were now tormenting her without hesitation. They screamed and moaned at her and though they couldn?t harm her physically, they were doing a number on her mind and soul, slowly weakening her from within. Eventually Karina got mad and turned to the spirit that claimed to be her father.[/i]

Karina: Dolosus! You did something to me when I wasn't looking didn't you!?

Dolosus: I havent done a thing! I know very little magic and cannot use it anymore if you get what I mean... and don?t call me by my name! I may be dead, but I'm still your father!

Karina: Uh huh? great speech.

Ariel: Seriously Karina we did nothing to you... It?s this place, it seems to block all magic and stop it from working.

[i]Karina ignored that possible fact and kept trying. Even though she wasn?t getting any results where she was, the area outside was gradually being covered by snow and ice? ice that couldn?t reach her when she called to it. The continuous efforts and focus was starting to wear her down. Ariel was starting to worry about what would happen if Karina kept at it for too long. Dolosus leaned against a wall and watched, fuming at Karina. [/i]

Ariel: Please stop it Karina!

Karina: No! As long as I have the energy and will to keep going I will still try to get out of this prison!

Ariel: I?ll help you out! Just stop doing that! Please daughter!

[i]Karina stopped and looked at the spirit, surprised.[/i]

Karina: Show me the way out then.

[i]Ariel nodded and motioned for her to follow down a hall Karina hadn?t taken notice of yet. Dolosus stayed behind, still obviously mad at his daughter.[/i]

Ariel: I think this is the way out, I can?t be sure, but I warn you, there is other undeads in here besides you, and these particular undeads aren?t as? well?living? As you. I can?t help you if we happen to run into one?

Karina: Ok I understand? I can take ?em all on! Just watch me!

Ariel: Ok turn here!

Karina: If I get out? can you come with me?

Ariel: ?no? I cant

Karina: Why not?!

[i] Ariel waved at her slightly transparent body.[/i]

Karina: Oh? Am I the only one who can see you?

Ariel: What kind of question is that? Other people can see me? but not like this, they see me as a shimmery kind of form, or maybe even a ball of light. Oh dear! Karina! Look ahead! There?s one of those undeads I?ve told you of!

[i]Karina looked ahead and spotted the rotting form of a human, it turned and faced her. It emitted a low growl.[/i]

Karina: aw crap! That thing is ugly!

Ariel: And not exactly friendly ether!

[i]Karina grabbed some of her throwing stars and pelted them at the undead, they only seemed to lightly faze the corpse before it started advancing on her. Karina suddenly remembered the fight between Kain and Valen. And gasped as she realized that she couldn?t exactly kill an undead? hence the title ?undead.?[/i]

Karina: Oh no I just realized something! You can?t kill these things!

[i] Karina threw another star at the disgusting creature, knowing that it was pointless. The thing moved surprisingly fast for a zombie! It drew a dagger.[/i]

Karina: How come nobody mentioned that the zombies around here are armed!?

[i] The creature had managed to close the distance between them and was now ferociously swiping at Karina, trying to slash her.[/i]

Karina: Well this is a bit of an unfair disadvantage!

[i] She frantically looked around the seemingly empty hallway looking for something to help her fight, while trying not to get herself stabbed. She saw an old whip laying nearby and dove for it. She rolled across the ground and grabbed it up and leapt to her feet, almost being hit by the crazy undead in the process. She gripped the handle, it was still in great condition. No time to test it, she started whipping the ground near the zombie.[/i]

Karina: Ok back boy back! Back I say! Get back!

[i]The zombie kept advancing, not seeming to notice that she was now armed with a more effective weapon.[/i]

Karina: Fine then [b]don?t[/b] heed my warnings!

She whipped the zombie right across the face with such force that a gigantic unbleeding hole had opened in the rotting flesh right where she had whipped it. Allowing her to see inside the face of the once living human head. And yet, it still advanced, Karina was shocked this thing didn?t seem to get even slightly hurt by anything! She didn?t have time to react or defend as the zombie managed to stealthily and quickly come up beside her and slice into her shoulder with its blade. She pulled back quickly and felt her blood trickle out of the open wound. It burned with pain, she waited for a few moments while dodging the barrage of swipes the zombie was taking? it wasn?t healing! [i]It must be the blade? Or maybe Ariel?s right! Maybe this place cannot have any magic within it![/i] She thought as she changed the whip to her other hand. She was now royally pissed! Nobody got away with doing that to her! She took the whip and whipped the rotting undead multiple times, then threw some throwing stars at it for good measure. The zombie just didn?t get the picture! It kept trying to land another blow on her, without any luck. Karina leapt back and cracked the whip as a lion tamer does. She waited until she had a bit of distance between the zombie and herself, brought the whip back and cracked the whip right across the zombies neck, the force of the blow decapitating it. The head rolled across the floor as the headless body slumped against the wall.

Karina: Ok I think its down and out? for now.

[i]She looked at the weapon in her hand and smiled before coiling it up. Karina started following the spirit again through the maze of tunnels and halls.[/i]

Karina: I just love this thing! See? Told you I could take them on.

Ariel: But look at your shoulder! ?You?re hurt. I wish I could do something!

[i]Karina looked at her shoulder, the pain had dulled a bit.[/i]

Karina: It doesn?t bug me.

Ariel: Still? you may be an undead? and just slightly more alive then goony over there, but I know you felt pain when you were hit! Unlike him, when you whipped him across the face!

Axle grinned at Jaudiar playfully, and brushed stray strands of white and black hair from his brow. His forehead glistened with perspiration. Months of meticulous planning and cunning hung in the proverbial balance. The band stood on edge, they were poised on death's door step and they weren't looking back.

An expanding pool of blood, purple under the radial sunlight spilled through the gaping hole in the ceiling, sprawled beneath them. It swallowed orphan shards of glass and swatches of soft carpet.

Jaudiar's heart pounded with excitement. Her eyes were wide. Axle could feel her. Danger--it was their drug, and addiction they shared. Perhaps that's why they were so attracted to one another. In each others' eyes, they glimpsed traces of lust and greed. They were self absorbed megalomaniacs, reveling in their own personal beauty--taking it for granted.

Over the months, Jaudiar had grown to enjoy chatting with Axle while he guzzled booze and dragged deeply on his signature cigarette. He was destroying his innards--a dirty soul, uncaring.

"Leave now," he ordered the boys, absently handing over the folders, gripping it loosely between his index finger and thumb, almost disdainfully.

Their firearms had been aimed steadily at the sorceress. Reluctantly, they lowered their barrels, and accepted Axle's file, his death warrant, and agreed to meet up at their casual spot. Jaques, Rocky, Angel, and Darius, shot menacing glares through the veil of darkness creeping in the room. Their eyes cut through it like a jagged dagger and connected with Jaudiar's.

Did they intend to kill one another, fool around? The collective force known as God North didn't know. But, if she sent their leader on a one way trip to hell, they would be sure to send her along for the ride.

As the door closed behind them, Jaudiar said, "I need to tell you something."

Axle interrupted, "I know, we're staring death dead in the eye, and asking for a lap dance. Give me what you've got," he said.

She pounced on his chest like a wild beast, scratching and clawing, flailing her arms without rhyme or reason. Her knuckles hungered for more, she wanted to beat the grin off his face.

But instead, she found herself pressing her lips to his own. Quickly, she withdrew, as if having tasted poison.

Their hearts throbbed. Mere feet away, cut throats and killers, criminals and enemies, lurked, while two figures lie in a dark room, one mounted on the other, amidst a puddle of bodily fluids.

Axle arched his neck up and met her lips once again. She wanted to pull away, but...she was kissing back now. Her own mouth moved in synch with his. She looked at him...not blinking...not moving...not breathing. Suddenly, her lips were pressed against his so hard, neither could breathe. Axle didn't care. He pressed back as hard as he could.

The next few moments were a blur as his clothes quickly joined hers on the floor?and then slowly?ever so slowly she kneeled over him and pushed down?slowly?slowly?he entered her, and two miserable souls joined as one, as her moan filled his ears and they began a slow rhythm.

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Her eyelashes parted, and she looked around....Axel was sitting with his back to the wall, smoking, yet again. She proped herself up on her elbows. Jaudiar's body was relaxed, feeling good. Too good almost...[/i]

Jaudair: How long have I been asleep?

Axel: Not too long. We're still okay.

Jaudiar: ....I can't believe I just let you fück me.

Axel: And why's that?

[i]She sighed and rolled onto her stomach, pulling on her tunic once more. Then she stood up and pulled her belt acrost her waist, twisting the braided leather into her signature knot. The sorceress's face was pale.[/i]

Jaudiar: ....I shouldn't of let myself do that.

[i]His eyes asked her the question easily enough, and she looked way, a slight frown on her face...[/i]

"Why?"

"I just...forgot that when I, oh nevermind."

"Try me."

"There is a very good chance that this will make me pregnant."

"No worse than it should be...right?"

"My race is fertile with almost every other race on this planet, humans especially. My body is ready to conceive nearly every day of the month...."

[i]She tossed him his clothes and sank to her knees, calm and composed once more. Inwardly, she grimaced with pain. This was going to be very complicated... If she really conceived like Ananda had warned her, things would either end with her death, or her child's.[/i][/COLOR]

[starlight]

Karina: True... I do feel pain... but does that make me actually a living being?

[i]Karina stopped dead in her tracks, Ariel noticed that Karina had stopped running and turned to face her. Darkness surrounded the duo on all sides making it almost completely impossible to see, the only light was that of Ariel who gave off a light glow in the gloomy darkness.[/i]

Ariel: What are you talking about Karina?

Karina: My very close friend and I... we were both revived.

Ariel: ok... But whats bugging you now? So you're back in a totally different time, but that doesnt seem to be the thing troubling you is it?

[i]Karina shook her head.[/i]

Karina: Not exactly... I was just thinking. Sure I may look human, but im not fully mortal, and I cant be killed by normal means, so I'm not a real human am I? I may be undead, but I can feel pain, unlike a normal undead... So I'm not exactly a real undead ether... What does that make me?

Ariel: ...I don't know, come on Karina, lets get you out of here ok?

Karina: Ok, sure.

[i]Karina followed along in silence for a very long time, could have been days, an few hours, or possibly a few minutes. All she knew was, it felt like a long time. Her shoulder was still hurting,she honestly hoped that the dagger hadnt been covered in poison or something like that. The only sounds that could be heard were the sounds of her own footsteps, the sound seemed louder than it should have, for the echos in the tunnels were loud. The only other sound was the occasional drip of water as it splashed onto the rocky ground.[/i]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[i]Ari seemed slightly confused for a moment before the message sunk in. She looked at him in surprised, then nodded.[/i]

Ari: I would love to start my training... What do I have to do?
