RPG A New Era, A New Destiny.

[starlight]

[i]Karina smiled at her friend, he knew as well as her, that her chances of "being carefull" were next to nothing. But after all the events that happened she decided to humour him.[/i]

Karina: Ill be carefull Valen, I just have to get out, go for a walk, go outside, do something! All the tension in here is driving me crazy, thats all. I'll be back in a little while Valen...

[i]She got up off of the couch, went over to the front door, moved the chair that Ari had placed there, and went outside. She heaved a sigh of relief and wandered over to the tree that had tripped her up before and sat down underneath it. She stared over at the strange stone structure to the left of her, it was very weird looking, she turned her gaze away. She had to admit that being outside and breathing in the warm summer air was much better then sittin' up on some windowsill. She became suddenly aware of something being nearby. If it was dark or good, she didn't know, and to be honest she didn't want to know.[/i]

[Charles]

Axle grinned like a shark, toothy and full of malice. His leather coat hung at his sides, rippling in the wind like a ghoul's rags.
A healthy dose of cologne attempted to smother the bitter odor of nicotine pervading his clothing and skin. His body was lean like a coyote--he was ready to pounce.

The two cut through the air like a bitter December chill, wrapping around one another like ribbons, deflecting the others' attacks making nary a sound.

Grunting, panting, smiling, both appeared still again. It was a beautiful night to die, a night where the dogs wouldn't hesitate to defile the losers' corpse, ripping the tender meat from their bones.

Gingerly sliding a cigarette from his coat pocket, Axle chuckled faintly. The cancer stick hung lazily from his mouth.

"Looks like you're not as fast as you thought my lady," he said rumbling with a small jolt of laughter.

He struck a match, but paused as he raised it. A small trail of blood trickled just below his eye, a thin crimson river running warm. Axle grinned his shark-like grin as it ran into a corner of his mouth. It was sweet because it was his own.

The sun was beginning to set, bathing the combatants in a blanket of orange and pink. Axle stared at the woman's chest heaving up and down, glistening with sweat. She caught his stare, sensed his distraction and rushed forward, her feet barely touching the ground as she flew through the air.

She brought her blood sword down--but it stopped mid swing. Jaudiar opened her eyes widely--Axle held the blade, now a staff once again, in his hands. Before she could react he jerked her towards him roughly and licked the blue blood from her hands. It tasted sweet too.

Immediately, she repelled him, seething with anger. Axle's shark-like grin disappeared in favor of a boyish grin, as he tossed the staff to her.

:Edit: Axle noticed Raiye spying nearby and tossed a small dagger in between the indruder' eyes, killing them instantly. A shooting star then landed on the intruder's corpse.:edit:

[Carren Heart]

[I]As Karina looked over at the movement a voice emitted from the shadows overlapping.[/I]

" Karina? "

Karina: What? << Looking for where the voice came from >>

" Yes or No, are you Karina. "

Karina: Yes, why?

" I've come for you sweet dear. You have a choice come silently and calmly or not. "

Karina: What do you want!

" A word with you dear. "

Karina: What do I look like!

" You look intelligent that's why you have a choice dear, if you choice to fight I promise you'll lose your injured friend in there. "

Karina: You can't defeat all of us.

" I don't need to my dear, all I'd have to do is kill a sleeping defenseless man."

Karina: How dare you! Speak to me in ?

" Silence!! Woman! " " You'll be silent and come with me or I'll make you and your friends lives HELL."

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]With a simple flip, she brought her staff back to earth and screamed. Black energy formed at her figertips, then spread to her hands....she whipped them forward and snared Axel...snatching the cigarette from his mouth and flipping it into the water. In another quick movement, the bands had snaked around his neck....He gagged then was released.......

Jaudiar hung back, slightly pissed.....he was a player. And she knew exactly how to play it. She sauntered up to him, hands free, mouth partly open, teasing.[/i]

Axel: .....

Jaudiar: I suppose you thought that was a blast.

Axel: Oh yeah....

Jaudiar: Has anyone ever told you that you're cute when you're mad?

[i]He was about to reply when she closed in, mouth pressing against his...Axel gasped, despite her fighting, she still smelled delicous....the heady scent of roses surrounded her body....

She held on, slowly savoring the taste of blood, and nicotine. It clashed with her blood...devoid of any oxygen...giving him a dull, drugged feeling.

It was finished before it started. Axel hit the ground, and Jaudiar smiled cruelly.[/i]

Jaudiar: Mmm....feeling better?

Axel: You damn....

Jaudiar: The Silver Kiss.....has many uses.[/COLOR]

[Shinobi]

[i]Shin, Tyron and Visor all rested, they ahd a long day, the sun was setting. Shin was pleased, but also confusedwitn todays matters, he couldn't wait untill the morning, thats when the 20 questions will begin.[/i]


OOC: Sorry for teh short post, Writers blcok >.< it is clearing up, im kind getting a story line.

[Valen]

[i]Meanwhile, back inside the cottage...[/i]

Valen: Vahn, I know you can't hear me, but I'll be back... I'm going outside and look at the moon for a while...

[i]As he walked outside, he got this strange feeling something had happened... He blew it off thinking it was just him... but something was different... he didn't see or sense Karina anywhere...[/i]

[Shinobi]

[i]Shin wakes up, the sunlight streaming through his bedroom window. He see's Visor at the other side of the room, lying on the floor, Tyron is sitting up and perky.[/i]

Shin: Who do you think that voice was Tyron?

Tyron: To be honest Shin, i have no clue at all,but i will find out, and destroy these evil beings, even if it means killing my own family. Ihope Visor would help out too, on my quest.

[i]Visor pops up from under the one of two spare blankets Shin had. As soon as he heard his name, he was u,looking aout.[/i]

Visor: What, hmm? Ugh. *falls back in a horesontal position*

Shin: If he's going...I'm coming too.

Tyron: Heh, thanks, but no thanks, your just...how can i put this in a nice way...your just...not strong enough.

[i]Shin explodes at this remark, he jumps to his feet.[/i]

Shin: *shouting* If you don't think i'm strong enough...THEN BRING IT ON!

Tyron: Oh, you want a battle, to test your strength, well i do except, young one.

[i]Once again as soon as the word "battle" was mentioned Visor popped back up. Tyron and Shin explained what is going to happen, they all got dressed, chnaged and ate, for the "test of strength"[/i]

[Boo]

[I]They go out of the back door. There they stand on a rough sand path which goes in three directions. Right, left and forward. They go forward, into a forest which was once a beautifull forest in all sorts of colours and now an ugly swamp like, forest.[/I]

Tyron: Here we will fight. Is that OK with you?

Shin: What ever.

Tyron: Okay then. Show me what you got!

[I]The two warriors stand infront of eachother. Shin takes a figting stance, but Tyron just stands there straight with his eyes pointed at Shin and his hand at his demolition blade.[/I]

Tyron: Are you ready?

Shin: Bring it on!

[I]Shin glared at Tyron while putting his feet better on the ground. Fire burning in his eyes. Tyron hadnt fight since he died so he sota also had the same fire in his eyes. But not as bad as Shin. Shin's right arm starts glowing. Visor looks at Shin like Tyron looked at him when he had just noticed he can use magic.[/I]

Visor: What the?! You can use magic?

Shin: Yeah. Im still a descendant of you remember?

Tyron: ..........

[I]Shin charged at Tyron right after he completed his sentence. The speed he goes with is unreconable. If he hadnt trained enough, he wouldnt even keep up with Shin. But just when Tyron grabs his blade, Shin is right infront of him in the air. Tyron jumped away just when Shin crushed in the ground with hid fiery fists.[/I]

Visor: Dammit. That was close!

[I]As visor watched the whole battle going by, he also looked around to make sure nobody noticed the battle. They may be deep in the forest, but maybe someone else was nearby.[/I]

Tyron: Now lets use our weapons.

Shin: Allright.

[I]With that, Shin grabs his Machette and his Samuria.[/I]

Visor: how did you get the Samuria?

Shin: Its a replica.

Visor: Okay. Then its ok.

[I]Tyron now had his demolition blade in his hands.[/I]

Shin: That is right. Why dont you get the phantom blade after this battle?

Tyron: I can do that.

[I]With that. Shin took a stance again and Tyron stood like he stood a few minutes ago. Again it was Shin onthe offensive side. This time he just run straight at Tyron. He still was going amazing fast, but because he ran straight in one line, he was easy to see. He jumped and lifted his Samuria. Right when he lowered it, Tyron protected himself with his blade. With his other hand he bashed against Shin's chin with his knuckles. Shin got three meters back by that and right when he stood still Tyron attacked emmidiattely. Shin could just protect himself and right when he got the change he got behind Tyron and kicked him in the back what made Tyron fall on the ground. Tyron stood up and charged at Shin again. This time while he there is electricity all over his body. Shin now began to glow too, and when they both had raisen their hands, a flash of light lit the dark forest and made the fog disappear. When the light dimmed, they both sitted with one knee on the ground.[/I]

Visor: That was a blast! hehe.

Tyron: You are strong indeed.

Shin: Thank you. Does that mean I can come with you?

Tyron: Yeah. Now lets get my Phantom blade shall we?

[I]They walk back out of the forest. No one noticed the blast in the town. They walked up to a marmer grave. A few inches next to it Tyron layed his hand on the ground and the ground lit up. A blade shaped weapon lifted up out of the ground. It was the phantom blade. Tyron now layed his hand on the grave and closed his eyes. He stood up after a few seconds.[/I]

Tyron: We can go now. Oh yeah. Visor. Where did you leave the sword of Justice?

Visor: Oh yeah! i allmost forget it!

[Shinobi]

[i]Shin was gawking at the beutiful speciman known as the Phantom Blade. As Visor shook him:[/i]

Visor: Hey, let's go, it'stime to get my baby ^_^

Shin: You have another sword too?

Visor: Um...Yeah! Didn't you hear Tyron a minute ago?

Shin: Heh, sorry, i was kinda day dreaming.

Visor: Ok, now let's go!

[i]The trio walked for about 10 or so minutes, at the bottom of the hill, wear the two graceful statues glimmered in the sun, that wasperched perfectly on the tip of the moutains. Visor raised his hands, Flames exploded out of them, he scouted the area and finaly found the spot. It almost looked liked too Mole Hills, He quickly slammed his palms into the "mole hills" and his hands were engulfed, as he did so, "The Sword of Justice"rose from the ground, with flames licking it's cool, heartless blade.[/i]

Visor: There she is, The Sword of Justice, the very same one used to kill Dymonoc.

Shin: Honestly?!?

Tyron: Yes

Shin: Woah! Cool, can you train me with it?

Visor: Sure, after our quest with Aerow ;).

Shin: GREAT!

Tyron: Now, we must stock up on resorces, then we will be on our way.

Shin: Ok, i know just the place...

[starlight]

[i]The man had just made a fatal mistake, unless they had a deathwish, nobody in the right mind would ever even attempt to try to talk to Karina in that way.[/i]

Karina: WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME!? I didnt go through hell and back just to be thought of as a mere obediant woman that shall obey your every whim! If you want me to come with you you will have to fight me, you leave Valen, Ari and Vahn out of this! Or are you scared?

[i]Meanwhile upstairs with Ari...[/i]

[i]Ari sat in bed reading, she couldnt sleep. She sighed climbed out of bed, pulled her housecoat on over her nightshirt and walked down the hall and peeked inside Karina's room. Strangly enough, Karina wasnt there.[/i]

Ari: Maybe shes still downstairs...

[i]She closed the door behind her and headed downstairs. She reached the bottom just in time to see Valen walk out the door. She was about to call out to him but stopped and let him go. She turned her gaze to the rec room, she guessed that was where Vahn was. She quietly made her way over to the dark rec room and peeked inside. She saw Vahn laying on the couch, she went and sat next to him making sure that she didnt disturb him. Karina had told Ari when she had come to see her, that he would be fine. Still whenever she thought of that "demon warrior" she felt a deep burning hatred deep within her. She disliked some people, everybody does, but she had never felt deep hatred like this before.[/i]

Ari: Vahn? I dont know if you can hear me or not, but someday I'm going to help you get that freak back for what he did whether or not you like it.

[i]The thought about that dark one again and her hatred licked at her insides like flames. She cringed at the memory of earlier that evening. She had never seen anything like it. She still couldn't believe that magic still existed. She went picked up the staff and stared at it with new eyes, it didnt look like much, but somehow she knew that it had helped bring Karina back. If only she knew how to use it![/i]

[Boo]

[I]They arrived at a old rotten warehouse kinda place. Then Visor opens his mouth.[/I]

Visor: Here used to stand the old warehouse where the kids in the neighbourhood allways played.

Shin: And this one is now an old warehouse, which children used to play in too, but I still keep secret supplies here. Heh. You never know when they will strike our town.

Tyron: Good thinking, but isnt it going to rot?

Shin: For that, my ancestor's bro, we have refriguators. It are metal things which keeps stuff cold.

Visor: I wished we had those in the old days. Karina would go nuts if she saw that she now isnt the only one which can keeps stuff cold. Hehe. J/K if you heared that karina!

Tyron: Lets not fool around and get our supplies that we need.

Shin: Im afraid that I dont have guns.

Visor: I readed in books about someone that made something called "a gun". Whats the big deal having a gun when you can use magic anyways huh?

[Valen]

[i]Valen just stood there... something telling him to go forward... something telling him to go back inside and watch Vahn... he decided to press on and walk around for a little while since he was out here.[/i]

Valen: Strange... the air is getting heavy...

[i]He looked around for any sign of anything... there was nothing. He gave up after a few minutes and went back inside. As he opened the door, he saw Ari sitting there with Vahn. Not wanting to disturb the two, he tried to quietly sneak by, but was caught by Ari. [/i]

Ari: Valen? Where's Karina?

Valen: She went for a walk, why?

Ari: No reason, just wondering...

Valen: Oh... okay. How's Vahn?

Ari: He's doing okay...

Valen: Well, I'm going out to look for Karina... she's been gone a while.

Ari: Alright, be careful out there... who knows if that thing is still around...

Valen: I will... see you in a little while.

[i]Valen walked out the door and headed out in search of Karina...[/i]

[starlight]

Ari watched Valen leave, she was starting to wonder if Karina was actually missing. And with the possibility of that freak still wandering around out there didnt help her mood at all.

Ari: I hope that both of them will be ok...

Meanwhile with Karina...

Karina: so tell me, what intrest do you have with specifically me? why not someone else?

???: That is none of your concern! You're comming along with me NOW!

Karina: Never, I've never obeyed anyone before, why should I start now?

???: Because your friends lives are at stake.

Karina: Leave them out of this!

[i]Her hand went to her throwing stars bag, she whipped one out and prepared to throw it at the still unknown attacker, when Valen rounded the corner and spotted her.[/i]

Valen: Karina! There you are!

[i]He stared at the shrouded figure then back to Karina.[/i]

Karina: Valen this weirdo wants me to go with him, if I dont he claims he will kill Vahn, what do you suggest we do?

[Barra Maral]

OOC: Hey guys sorry for not posting lately, but Ive kinda been busy lately.

IC:

Barra Barra Maral: I must find more people to destroy so I can regain the power I have lost.

Barra Barra Maral decides to go to a place where its bound to have people to kill..... the park!

Barra Barra Maral: Ah, here it is, the park. And there is a perfectly defenseless person to destroy.

Man: Ahhhhhhhhhh! Please dont kill me mister........ ??? Umm, I dont really know what your name is, but please dont kill me.

B. B. M.: And why should I spare your life? You are no different from any other that I have killed in the past.

Man: I dont know, but please dont kill me.

B. B. M.: Fine I shall only draw my sword to you but you may run if you so choose.

Man: Oh, thank you.

B.B.M.: *Draws his sword* Now you may run if you so choose.

Man: *runs* Thank you

B.B.M. flicks his sword and a black cloud surround the man. And at that point the life energy was just sucked out of the man and into B.B.M.

OOC: Thats all for today folks, hope you enjoyed this installment. lol

[Valen]

OOC: Sirve, can you PM me that link again? I don't have it on this comp... thanks!
_________________

IC:

[i]Valen glared at the shadowy figure and then back at Karina. He looked very puzzled, but none-the-less ready to answer her question.[/i]

Valen: Umm... well... I say we either kick this thing's arse or run. Choice is yours... by the way...

[i]Valen pulls out Vahn's Serpent Blade and hands it to Karina for safe keeping.[/i]

Karina: What's this for?

Valen: He won't be needing it right now... remember?

???: Ah... well what do we have here... A girl and her lapdog... haha this is too easy...

Valen: ... I prefer to be called her Knight.

________

OOC: Yes, a little FFVIII for ya there...

[starlight]

[i]Karina gave Valen a shocked look, but hid the look as fast as it had appeared. She took up her usual battle stance. She finally had a blade for this battle, this strange man was going to pay for his threats.[/i]

Karina: You do not mess with people who know magic in the first place, but to mess with someone whos undead and knows magic, buddy you are so stepping over the line!

[i]Karina prepared herself, she hoped that this was a fight that they could win...[/i]

[Valen]

[i]Meanwhile, back at the cottage...[/i]

[i]Ari was sitting there, minding her own business and looking after Vahn when she started to doze off. Vahn was finally starting to come around. He slowly opened his eyes to the slightly darkened room and Ari.[/i]

Vahn: ... Ari...?

[i]There was no reply from Ari... she was already sound asleep. Vahn had hoped that all that was just a bad dream. He then looked at the bandages and realized that it wasn't a dream... it was far from a dream. Though he didn't feel the gashes as badly as he had before, he still knew they were there. He tried to call out for Karina and Valen, but he couldn't talk above a whisper. He was still too weak to do anything but lye there. Helpless.

He looked at Ari as if saying "Thank You" without words. He knew she could not hear him, but he also knew she could sense that he was conscince again. Vahn sighed and just laid there waiting for Valen or Karina to come.[/i]

[starlight]

[i]Ari's hand moved off of her staff that lay across her lap as she slept. She suddenly moved over in her sleep, the staff fell and clattered on the hardwood floor startling Ari awake. She reached down and quickly snatched the wooden staff from off of the ground.[/i]

Ari: Huh?!... Oh dear I hope that didnt wake Vahn up...

[i]She heard a whisper.[/i]

Vahn: ...No that didn't wake me up.

[i] She turned, startled to the source of the voice and saw Vahn looking at her. Ari seemed slightly shocked that Vahn was conscious. But at least he was now awake.[/i]

Ari: Vahn! You're awake.

[i]Vahn could only nod.[/i]

Ari: Thank goodness Vahn, I was so worried about you... I thought that...

[i]Ari turned away and bit her lip, remembering the deep worry she had felt when she saw Vahn just laying there cut up and bleeding upon the floor. It hurt her so much to see her friend hurt like that. She had never seen anything so horrible in her whole life. But now she felt very much relived to see him awake.[/i]

Ari: You gave all of us a scare Vahn, you lost a lot of blood, Karina was flipping out, none of us knew if you were going to pull through.

[i]Ari shut up immediately, she didnt want to upset Vahn not now just when he had come to. She looked at Vahn sadly as if apologising.[/i]

Ari: Sorry Vahn, I didnt mean to get so carried away with that...

[Shinobi]

[i]Shin pushed his palms forward into a small black, mossy, brick wall, his hand elumanated the wall with a dark orange/red color. As the wall fell back, it all stayed in one peice revealing a huge dark room with 2 lines of big silver fridges.[/i]

Shin: Here, my good friends, is my secrect stash. To the right is the swords and wepoanary and to the left, is food and drink. Take what you need.

Visor: Wow, these things are great.

[i]As he opens one of the food filled fridges, a bright white light lashes at his face. Visor jumps backwards pulling out his nunchucks and smacked the fridge, breaking it, to no repairable exctent.[/i]

Visor: AHHHHH! What the hell is that "thing"

Shin: AHHH! My fridge! They cost money you know!

Visor: Sorry, it burned!

Tyron: *sigh* Ah, stupid Visor, as just like the old days.

Shin: You'll needto eat all of that food now, or take it with you at least.

Visor: ^_^ Thats no problem.

[i] They get stockedup, and ready to leave, he lock up the secret stash and leave teh warehouse. It's time for the quest to begin.[/i]

Tyron: Ok, lets go, were do we go first Shin?

Shin: Well, we must pass by those mountains up yonder, then through a dark forrest, it is tehs ame forrest as one of teh other heros were buried, um...whats [i]her[/i] name again?

Visor: YOUR KIDDIN' We go through Karina's forrest?!?

Shin: Yeah, that's her!

Tyron: We must pay tribute to her at her grave! Only if she was alive now...

[Valen]

[i]Vahn motioned to Ari to continue, but she wouldn't. As he did, he noticed a couple of bandages on his arm. He looked at the rest of his body almost completely covered in bandages. He didn't look too happy as he looked at Ari wanting her to explain what had happened and why he was covered in bandages and in pain. By now the bandages were blood red and really needed to be changed, but they had to wait for Karina or Valen to get back so they could do it. All of a sudden they both had the same look on their faces...[/i]

Vahn: Can you feel it?

Ari: Yeah, it feels like someone is coming...

Vahn: Yeah... I wonder who or what it is...

Ari: I don't... want to know who or what it is...

Vahn: Why, Ari?

Ari: ... just look at what happened to you... If that happened again, you would surely die...

Vahn: If what happened again?

Ari: It's a long story... we'll save it for later, ok?

Vahn: .... ... ... okay.

[Carren Heart]

[I]The Shadowed Figure laughed at the idiotic woman's word for she had just given him the information he needed to seek victory.[/I]

????: Undead! You say, I know these beings well for you see I am among the most powerful of all necromancers. As for your magic, please! I have had the pleasure of witnessing and rivaling the magic of Jaudiar, further more I doubt you oppose magic even near mine own abilities.

[I]Karina Paused at the necromancers words knowing that if he indeed speaks with truth this may in fact be a devastating encounter with the death mage's power over the dead and the ability to control them this would not be good.[/I]

????: As for your persistent knight, I think he'll find the wailing death and the winter angel a formidable opponent. So I give you one last chance Woman! Come peacefully and save your friends a most damnedable end.

[I]The night skies seemingly howled with the figure's words.[/I]

[starlight]

[i]Karina glared at the dark mage, hatred burning in her golden colored eyes. She sensed his power, this dark one could kill Valen and herself if he wanted to. She didnt want to endanger her friends and family again because of her stubborn attitude. She couldn't believe what she was about to do. She sighed and handed the blade back to Valen.[/i]

Valen: Karina? What are you doing?

Karina: I'm going with him.

Valen: Are you crazy?! He will destroy you! Please dont Karina!

Karina: I...I have to Val...

Valen: Karina please rethink what you're about to do!

[i]Karina put her hands on his shoulders and looked him in the face.[/i]

Karina: Valen you have to trust me on this one, I promised myself that day just after Dymonoc fell that I would never again allow my family or friends be hurt as long as I had a way to prevent it. I would be breaking my promise if I allowed harm to befall Ari, Vahn and you.

[i]She stepped away from him, turned to face the necromancer,and started to walk towards the dark figure, Valen knew he couldnt stop her from doing this. She hoped she was doing the right thing in doing this... She paused and looked back at Valen, she noticed that his hair caught the moons rays and seemed to shimmer in the faint light.[/i]

Karina: Valen... Take care of Ari for me... Please?

[Valen]

Valen: Karina....

[i]She didn't answer. She walked up to the shadowy figure and they both just faded out into the night. Valen ran up to the spot where she had been just moments before. He couldn't stop her no matter how hard he tried... she was gone.[/i]

[i]He fell to his knees and stared at the sky, wishing this was all just a big nightmare.[/i]

Valen: Please come back alive Karina...

[i]He arose from the ground with an extremely angered expression on his face. He knew he had to somehow find her and get her back... he wasn't just going to sit around knowing she was in danger. But he also knew that this could just be a trap to lure him in and be killed... but if they wanted him killed, they would have already done it... He started walking back to the cottage trying not to think about what had just happened.

He came to the cottage and opened the door. Ari immediately knew something was wrong.[/i]

Ari: Valen? Where's Karina?

Valen: ...

Ari: ... Valen?

Valen: (in a low voice) They took her...

Ari: What?

Valen: They.... they took her. There was nothing I could do... I'm sorry...

Ari: They? Who's 'they'?

Valen: Some guy in the shadows... Karina went willingly...

Ari: ...

Valen: Yeah, I know... so, how's Vahn?

Ari: He woke up a little while ago...

Valen: Well, at least something good has happened...

[starlight]

[i]Ari stared in disbelief at Valen.[/i]

Ari: I still dont get what you said Valen... You mean she went willingly?! Why?!

Valen: She wanted to... There was nothing I could do to stop her.

Ari: I cant believe it... why Karina?...

[i]Ari sighed sadly, her shoulders slightly trembling, she stopped as soon as she realized that Valen was still watching her. She was obviously upset. She felt her eyes mist over, she blinked a few times to keep herself from crying.[/i]

Ari: I'll take you to Vahn hes probably wondering whats going on...

[i]Ari walked into the rec room went over and sat back down where she had been before Valen re-entered.[/i]

Ari: Hes been wanting an explanation Valen. I dont know if I should...

Valen: Let him know Ari

Ari: Ok... Sorry if this tramatizes you in any way Vahn...

[i]Ari went into full explanation of the events that had occured that evening. Valen had taken a seat and seemed to have gone into deep thought, paying no attention to Ari and her "graphic" descriptions of all the events.[/i]

[Carren Heart]

[I]The very instant the two faded into the darkness they appeared within a blackened crypt, Karina could hear the voices of thousands of lost souls whispering in the halls of bereavement that rest ahead. Echoing in the black of the crypt Karina heard the figures voice ?[/I]

???: Welcome to your new home.

Karina: What do you want with me?

???: it is not what I want with you but what they want with you.

[I]The halls of the crypt silenced with his words, Karina felt a sickening surge of unholy energies brush over her very soul.[/I]

Karina: << Looking slightly more frightened >> No ? it can't be!

[I]Two shadowy figures arise from the depths of the abyss she seemingly recalls their gentle faces, Karina drops to her knees realizing the horrific truth.[/I]

???: It been a long time since you seen them, I can see that.

Karina: I?I?

???: You what? Speechless I see.
