Almost immediately after receiving this creature's mental message, Illith sent most of her Drones to work writing a return message. The rest were assigned another message, a shorter one, and one that even Illith could help with. Taking one of her eight legs, she began to scratch a straight line in the dirt, followed by a second, to the right of the first. Shifting over to the right, Illith drew a third straight line, which was immediately followed by a fourth straight line, this one about half as long as the other four. Illith made three final lines then, the first two as long as the first three, followed by a short one.

Illith continued to direct her Drones working on the first sentence, and the second group of drones finished their sentence, going over to help the first group, mostly finishing what Illith had started, drawing horizontal lines where she had not. She had them stand up, and spread out, so that the one she was trying to communicate could read her message: "I understand you. My name is Illith."

That's when she noticed something. Just inside one of her Drones "sense" range, there were two other creatures. They could be ignored for now. They didn't seem hostile, and they weren't interfering with anything. At least if they showed up now, she wouldn't be surprised.

[Jake the Sage]

Sitting up Savas rubbed the back of his head, not aware of where he was exatly at the moment.

"What the f*ck kind of cheating sh*t is that?!" he yelled looking up at Fiera with a very angry look. Getting to his feet he lifted the summoning book up with him, noticing the odd silence he was recieveing from it, and quickly understood what was going on. The [i]only[/i] reason the demons would ever shut their gapping pie holes is that there were unable to by some magical means. To put it simple this girl had brought him, without his permission and thus kidnapping him, to a astral plan of shorts that prevented his summoning book from working as it should. Scowling he looked at Fiera and called out to her, "Is this how you beat people, by cheating? by taking away their 'powers' so they can't fight back?"

Pathetic," he said spatting at the ground[?].

[Big Bad Pennar]

"Silence Little one!" 2 voices had shouted in unison, 2 of the Spirit council had appeared, Wait a minute, Where was the 3rd one?, but that was revealed, as there was a Blue Glare from Fiera's Eyes, Fiera's and some other Masculine voice shouted out of Fiera in Unision "I don't cheat, it's that I had to bring you here for Attonement, and the Council does not allow fighting of any kind in here, Don't you want to Live!?". The Blue Glare turned back to red as a Spirit left Fiera's body, All 3 spirits says in unison "Little one... You had slaughtered an entire village with the hellp of your summons, however, if you would have died, and you would HAVE died without my intervention, you would have spent the rest of eternity rotting in Viemvear..." Fiera looked at the Spirit council "We have decided to give you a chance to Attone your sins... Suddenly, Savas felt a lot of pain from his entire body as some of the darkness shot out of his body and into Fiera's hand, Which then turned into a Block of Silver, The Spirits then Said in Unison again "For this attonement, You must help Fiera Accomplish her mission, Help her Unite the world and Stop whatever is Weakening the Barrier between Viemvear and Kerulia, Do you understand me Little one!?"....

[Jake the Sage]

I thought you were kidding in the PM when you said block txt 8O You kinda need to learn not to make run on sentances Flandre- kinda hard to read.
Also meta-gaming by taking my characters range of reactions away, but I'll deal for now.

[hr]

Savas wasn't interested in the three spirits at all. Even when one had possessed the beautiful women in front of him they barely kept his attention, he even went so har as to begin cleaning his ear out. They spoke of him slaughtering the entire village and this brought out a small chuckle from Savas as they recounted his wrong doings. Whatever a wrong doing was. Then the spirits had the audacity to proclaim that without THEM, of all things, that Savas would certainly have met his end at the hands of villagers. This was the final straw for Savas as he brandished his weapon, "Look I don't give a rat's ass about this attonment sh*t your ranting about, but I can assure you of one thing! I do not and never will require your assistance to save [i]my[/i] ass from anything!"

Savas got in position to begin fighting his way out of here, despite the three spirits saying combat was not allowed. Did that ever really stop him before? Not really. Yet when an electrical shock ran through his body he dropped to his knees and grunted in pain, the shock actually dulling it more than causing it, and used the sword had kept out to prop himself up. Gritting his teeth he felt something shoot out from his chest and saw a small bit of darkness turn into silver in the hands of Feira as the spirits announced . . . they planned on using the 'attonment' they just did as a barganing chip to force him to work with Fiera on a mission. The mission? Oh just unite the entire f*cking world and stop some thing from merging with something else. He kind of wasn't paying attention.

". . . Do you understand me Little one!?"

"Oh I understand alright," Savas said standing up and yanking his sword from the ground, pointing it at Fiera, "I understand you have taken me to some area so I can't summon anything, stolen the exact thing I am trying to find, and then try to force me into working with you! Oh! And call me 'little one' again and spirit or not I'll f*cking lop your heads off!!!"

[Big Bad Pennar]

The Spirit council sighed "Fiera, Keep an eye on him will you, Don't even hesitate to kill him if he commits another Sin, In the meantime, take the Silver we extracted out of him and make it into something perhaps useful, should he help you..." Fiera and Savas Blacked out via Magic....

Fiera woke up near Savas in a forest. "Hopefully The council will not interfere like that again, I really hate that... Besides, even if you were swinging wildly, it would have no effect cause you were Ethereal in Viemvear.... Before we can continue the fight we had earlier, I need you to answer a question, Since Sliver is a Magic conductor, would you like to make your blessing, or do you want me to do it?"....

[GreyCat]

Jyran sat beside the motionless man, watching the rise and fall of his chest. His tail flicked back and forth curiously and his ear twitched occasionally at sound the others couldn't hear. the La-mi-na was so much like normal humans in his form, but he smelled, looked and felt different. The magic he had had a feel that no human he met before ever had. He tilted his head. There was that not-alive-not-dead matter too. The man was redder than he was when Jyran first noticed him too. It made him look less strange, though all the furless humans looked strange.

He wondered if the la-mi-na man bled. He didn't have a heat beat. Jyran unsheathed one claw and slowly reached out. Dis Klaln claws were the perfect weapons; versatile, dense and as strong as human metals. While they made knifes and other tools for use, slings and javelins for ranged fighting, and spears for fishing (not all, few in fact, Dis Klahn like swimming), nothing could replace tooth and claw in a fight or hunt. They sharpened themselves over time as they were unsheathed and regrew as long as the root and finger tip wasn't removed. He looked at his claw; somewhat silvery ivory and sharper than most blades. Without warning, he swiftly jabbed the la-mi-na man's side.

[StealthyTyranitar]

As Luke was exploring his surroundings he noticed something peculiar. He saw a girl, with an odd looking scythe, and a man, who was holding,....... a book? That was strange. But he had seen weird things before. Like the cocoon thing staring at a guy who had just gotten out of a huge steam suit. He approached them. "Hi. Ummm, you guys look pretty powerful. Do you guys want to join up and fight this 'Rising Darkness'. I'm pretty worried about it." He hoped they said yes. Last time (OOC: Twig) someone had just kept on walking.

[Master Red]

He had managed to pinpoint one of the creatures being close by to him, which made his choice to act as dead as possible (though the heaving of his chest did continue anyways, it was a habit well rooted in him now) an even more plausible one.

He suddenly felt the creature near him stir, what was he up to? He didn't have much time to think before he felt something jab into his side. Now, even though it didn't hurt him as much as it would hurt a normal human the pain inflicted to him caused him to react appropriately. In this case it was to let out a groan of pain and attack whatever was causing him this. He flung himself over Jyran, almost instantly after he had jabbed at his side with his claws and made sure to pin the catlike man down to the ground. He was weak, yes, but by placing his entire body weight over the lithe creature, strategically pinning his arms and legs down, it would be difficult for him.. it(?) to break away from him.

He hissed at the cat-man, showing his fangs and glared at him through tired blood-shot eyes. The wound from the claws were already closing up and he didn't spill any blood as per usual. He doubted that he'd bleed even if they had chopped his arm off. Sadly, he wouldn't be able to grow another arm. He had heard tell-tales of a very old Lamia that had reigned over the east about a century ago that had the power to re-grow body parts but he didn't know if this was, in fact, true. She was no longer alive anyways, the story fortold that she fell in love with a man and when he died, she decided to impale her own heart with a sword to end her life.

Rhett would've asked the cat-man questions, like who he was, why he saved him and then hurt him, where they were and what they wanted with him. But alas, he was too tired for that and he wasn't sure that the cat-man even spoke human. He was tempted to rip the cat-man's throat out, but he doubted he could succeed with that and as he knew there was another creature around he doubted he'd be alive afterwards if he did indeed succeed to kill this cat-man.

[Big Bad Pennar]

Fiera giggled as she heard the nice and loud hissing toward her right, and to her left, A Half spider, Half snake thing had just walked in asking to fight the 'Rising darkness'. She said "Funny, That's what i am doing, Sure you can help, just follow me..." She looked to her right and saw a huge bush, That bush was actually smaller when she came here earlier to enter Mithwendor, and that hit her, She did not need to use the Teleportation spell for now... ran behind the bushes and found Jyran, Lucifer, and The Lamia, Fiera had saw that the Lamia was stirring and said "My my, looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed when I was gone". She giggled....

[StealthyTyranitar]

(OOC: Adding hisses on S sounds.) "Cool." Luke said walking into the cave, wondering why the girl was so giggly. He walked in, and saw two things fighting. A Lamia, which were great to eat, because they had no blood, and a Cat-Human thing. He jumped in between them and had a leg pointing towards each. "Firssst of, it would be bad to charge me. You would both be impaled. Two, why are you guysss fighting? and Three: My name isss Luke, and I am what is known asss a Rontage. I wasss General of a huge army. If I get into a fight., I will turn into a killing tornado of death and poissson, so if there issss any fighting it may end unfortunate for myou Alssso, I hate argumentsss Thank you, any questionsss?" He smelled some sort of hostility in the air

[Master Red]

The female bird creature was back, and she had more creatures with her. One of which, a rontage, broke him away from the cat-man, which couldn't have been all too hard as he was weak because of the sun. His body was screaming for sleep and he was actually struggling to keep his eyes opened. He couldn't be bothered to answer the Rontage's questions, he had neither the energy for it nor did he care enough either. He wanted to be left alone and to sleep, was that too much to ask?

As he had been forced away from Jyran, he scampered into the darkest corner of the small cave, grabbing the scythe as he did so, and sat down, looking at the crowd before him. They were an odd bunch, that was for sure. Why had they helped him, what did they gain from that and how could they possibly be so stupid to leave him a weapon if they wanted to keep him captive?

His head was starting to bob slightly up and down as his body was starting to fall asleep and not keeping him upright and alert. He pressed the scythe close to his body and tried to keep track of the people in the cave through his sleep deprived blood-shot eyes. He would fall asleep soon, no matter how hard he tried to stay awake. "curses" he mumbled as his eyes fluttered shut once more.

Before he closed his eyes he thought he had seen the image of Merril before him standing in front of him as if she was guarding him from the other people in the cave. He knew it couldn't have been real, Merril had been dead for years now. She was probably just a dream, she always was. "Merril" he mumbled in his sleep, his grip around the scythe loosening a bit.

"Don't worry Rhett, my love, I'll keep you safe.. go to sleep" he heard Merril's voice whispering to him and he could've swore he felt her lips upon his forehead. He'd never had such a vivid dream before. But, was it a dream? He couldn't see Merril, all was dark in this dream. If he was dreaming about her he'd surely see her, he always did. Could it be, Merril was in fact in the cave watching over him? He struggeled to wake up but his body wouldn't let him.

"Sleep Rhett, everything's fine, I promise" he heard Merril's sweet voice whisper to him once more. He wasn't reassured, he couldn't see her. Oh [i]why[/i] couldn't he see her!?

He stirred in his sleep, his grip around the scythe tightening once more and he seemed to be strained even though he was resting. He mumbled a lot in his sleep, but there was nothing that could be made sense of.

There was no Merril in the cave, not for the other's to see at least...

((OOC: Rhett's life has been such a tragedy :'( I hope it's okay that Merril is part of the Scythe Scarlet, that's why he can change his appearance to look like her with it ^^))

[Big Bad Pennar]

(> OoC: Red: Silver that comes from Viemvear is actually made of the sins of someone, So it is possible, oh and Fiera could still sense Merril, though not see her <)

Fiera looked at The Lamia as he scampered to the back and fell asleep, She had sensed a presence hovering over him, a Spirit, and she had recognized it. It was the exact spirit that was sent to heaven that decreed that the Goddess Thanata was a Satan. She had thought "[i]How could she be here? She was sent to-[/i]" Her thought had interrupted when she looked at the scythe, She smiled, it simply inspired her "[i]Looks like that some sins are so tragic that even dwellers in the spirit world hone themselves on it when turned to silver[/i]" she had thought...

Fiera was starting to get sleepy, so with that, She dug her Scythe into the ground near the entrance of the cave, and sat near it, She spoke to Luke "Well well, little one. I have to warn you this, We will be travelling at night, oh and By the way, What would your name be?"

[Jake the Sage]

Savas woke up and held his head, pounding worse than any hangover he had ever gotten. And he usually got massive hangovers from being drunk nearly 24/7. And these hangovers'd kill normal people. Looking over at the woman already getting ready to resume the prior fight she asked about the silver.

Looking at the shinning metal which had once been his little piece of darkness he frowned and stood up, kicking the sword off the ground and snatching the hilt out of midair. THinking things over he knew he wouldn't need to have his book to beat her, but it would be difficult being at a range disadvantage. As if given an answer a man walked up and began speaking to the group, ""Hi . . . ummm . . . you guys look pretty powerful. Do you guys want to join up and fight this 'Rising Darkness'? I'm pretty worried about it . . ."

He was about to inact his master plan, which he had just made up off the top of his head, when the woman darted to the right towards a bush and then a group of people came out from everywhere. He had momentarily forgotten he had been transported into a cave, so of course there would possibly be more people nearby he hadn't taken the chance to notice.

Scowling Savas moved his sword behind him and summoned enough demons to match the numbers against him, "Alright freakshows . . . I really don't know any of you, but I am certain you know something about the darkness considering how much you're all f*cking blabbering about it. Now spill or I spill your guts."

[i]"Lame pun master,"[/i] the demons commented as the demons gave a low bellow.

[GreyCat]

So La-mi-na was awake. He didn't wake nicely though, threatening to kill those that helped him. La-mi-na culture was very foire if that was how they responded to things. It was a wonder they were still alive. Then Fiera came back with two guests. One was a giant spider creature. His kind Jyran knew of. not personally, but tales were told of a spider people that also dwelled in forests. The stories didn't necessarily come with a happy ending either. But, meaning dangerous people was on of the risks he was taking by roaming. "His name Luke," Jyran said helpfully at Fiera's question. "He say before with much hissing."

Then the cave got much more crowded as Fiera's second friend called a large amount of creatures from no where. The held a trance of teleportation magic to their skin, so he assumed they were summoned anyway. But why did the man want to know about darkness? "Darkness is not light. Is when something block Sol, shadow. Is also what happen at night when sun gone since Luna not shine bright like her brother." He tilted his head questioningly. "Strange. How human not know this? You not taught by mother when kit? Poor man, you are, yes." Jyran shook his head and looked around. "If we spend day here, I need sgry cave bigger to fit all. Not make for so many people."

[Big Bad Pennar]

Fiera then said "It's about time you Woke up" as she saw Savas enter the Cave, She was playing around with the Silver Ingot she held in her hand using her magic, since they were out of the sun. She then said "Alright little one, We all have different insights about this 'Rising darkness', All of us with the Exception of the Spider have seen the council personally, My insights, as with the Council's insights say that this 'Rising darkness' is from the fact that the Boundary between Viemvear and Kerulia is weakening, So our mission here is to Unite the world to fight the Sinners that will come from Viemvear when the Boundary breaks, and to find what is weakening the boundary and put a stop to it." She had played around with the silver until she had gotten an idea of what to make for Savas, She moulded the Ingot of Silver into a very strange looking Silver sword and offered it to Savas...

[Jake the Sage]

At first Savas thought the cat-thing, he really didn't know what the f*ck it was, but realized it was merely answering his questions. And answering them wrong in nearly every sense of the word. Being addressed by the most annoying woman on earth, at least that is what Savas viewed her as, he was told again she was recruiting people to prevent the darkness from melding two worlds together and blah-blah-blah. About then he tuned out again only to focus when she tossed him a silver sword fashioned from the darkness she'd stolen from him.

Catching it he twirled it around and looked up at her, a menacing glare in his eyes. How could everyone keep ignoring the fact he wasn't a good guy and wanted to find the darkness for pure malicious intentment. Possibly because he hadn't outright stated it? That was the only reason he could think of. [i]"So what now master?"[/i] one of the demons he had summoned said mentally, growling in desire to rip the cat-man's head off and pop it like a grape, and Savas thought of something. Something utterly f*cking brilliant! So brilliant it just might work! Putting the sword up he released his summons with a [i]happy[/i] smile, "So we don't know what is causing the darkness or merging of . . . uh . . . stuff? Well I'm willing to join, for a price . . ."

[i]"Just couldn't get past that part of your personality, could you master?"[/i] a female demon responded as Savas waited for a reply. He had intended to use these people to find the source of the darkness, kill it, take it's place and then slaughter them while saving the loud mouth b*tch for last. But he figured, if he was going to do all of that eventually, might as well make a bit of money as well.

[GreyCat]

"For price?" Jryan said as he shuffled about the cramped cave. Here and there he pressed against the wall, forcing it back, widening the space little by little. "Price is human thing, yes? Price is what you pay for food and clothes. Like money. Those funny bit of shiny metal humans and other peoples collects and keep." He nodded to himself. "I no have money. I use last of money to get roast boar done rare. Very tasty, yes. Too much of human herbs, yes, but it very good." He shrugged again. "But human like shiny rock too, yes? H'n is shiny rock. You humans call it... goold, yes? I sgry goold. You take that as price?" Jyran offered helpfully. Since Fiera wanted this man's help, it would be best if he tried to encourage him to stay. He used his magic to draw the ore form the earth. It was pretty easy for him, though the land didn't have that much. It would take time to get a larger load.

[Jake the Sage]

Looking over the gold the cat-man, in his own unusual way of speaking, offered him Savas looked through it and was suprised by the ammount. He had been more gold of course. He had also stolen more gold than this, of course. What he [i]was[/i] suprised about was that such a dimwitted little creature like the mangy thing stnading in front of him had managed to simply dig up so much. Pocketing the gold, hoping that they'd forget it was added to his 'fee', Savas shook his head and smiled a bit, "Sorry cat-dude but I get paid almost twice that much for other random jobs I get sent on so . . . that wont be enough. Now if a certain other member of this party really wants me to accompany you lot then . . ."

Looking over at Fiera Savas got a grin and held out his hand, "I will need a bit more in the ways of cash to be convinced to accompany this group of merry men . . . and cats . . . and women . . . and . . . whatever else is a part of this freak show."

[Big Bad Pennar]

Fiera said with a very smug look "meh, I can't take much interest in gold, it tends to be somewhat bad for my health, and it's a pain to try to manipulate" she sighed, trying to think of something to test out her new R Rank magic, but it was daytime and she needed to get some sleep. It was after Savas had mentioned a price, that kinda irritated her, Savas did not radiate a lot of power and very likely would fall fast after the boundary broke.

Fiera had crossed her arms and was about to drift off to sleep with her scythe near her, she felt some sin radiating off Savas, but she felt calmer, then a thought, she did not know his name and 'little one' seemed to infuriate him, so she asked "pardon my manners little one, but Its starting to feel plain calling you that, what is your name?"

She heard Savas explain about a larger fee required, but she obviously needed his name in order to in fact "Pay" him the larger fee

[Jake the Sage]

That was it! She had called him "little one" again and that was the straw that broke her back. Or at least his foot was going to in a minute or so. Trudging over to where she had taken up a spot to rest he lifted her too her feet and unseathed the sword to hold to her neck, stating that his name was Savas and that if he wasn't paid . . . well . . . he'd leave. Dropping her he heard the demons contained in the books boo at him over not slitting the girl's through right then and there, but he felt they or at least so far just her was the best chance of finding the darkness, and so he stupidly sparred her. He didn't want to go wandering around anymore while this thing just kept elluding him. So he would have to swallow a bit of pride and [i]not[/i] senselessly slaughter her.

[StealthyTyranitar]

(OOC: I fell asleep in the RP. Also, Luke probably has the second most amount of sin in the room. (Jake))

As Luke got up, he noticed the man, the only 'normal' person here, stagger over to Fiera, then threaten her. Well, he didn't like that. He put arrows in his bow, and fired them, like in the movies, and pinned his Savas' clothes to the wall. He was a great archer. He felt the feeling begin to creep up to his head, so he sat down, and calmed down. He got back up, and explained what had just happened." Thisss man, wassss threatening you. Why isss he here, anywaysss?" The Rontage could fight. Oh yes, he could fight.

[fenrir]

Mickey just barely managed to make out the lines in the dirt, but not because it was illegible; the screen granting him vision was quite dirty. He would need to clean it later. At least the creature was sentient, and apparently friendly to boot. Not having to fight a cocoon and it's... Drones, proved useful for Mickey's long term goal he called [i]living[/i]. He responded to the creature, sending it another telepathic message. [i]For future reference, use this channel if you wish to communicate with me. It gets good reception.[/i] Mickey was unaware of the other creature nearby, being in a hulking suit of armor didn't really provide him with much vantage points.

[i]A few questions. One, what exactly are you? Two, do you know where I can locate a town and or city? Three, do you require any assistance?[/i] The last question was a mere formality. In his travels it wasn't uncommon for another traveler to have [i]issues[/i]. Whether the issues were unruly salamanders or broken wheels.

[Big Bad Pennar]

(> OoC: Luke has Sin, but it's mainly Instinctive Sin, which is very easy for her to bend out of someone without any sort of pain <)

Fiera Giggled at Savas "I had to wring your name out of your mouth somehow, Savas, Sadly, I cannot Manipulate gold, so mind me..." Fiera looked at Luke and said "He's here as a result of an Attonement, and he gets quite pissed when i callled him "Little One", However..." she whispers to Luke "Savas does not stand any sort of chance against me, Should he decide to have another round at me, The council will not interfere this time". she Drifted off to sleep, muttering Indistinctly, trying to figure out how she can "pay" Savas. She felt that the Attonement was payment enough

[Jake the Sage]

Savas had been blindsided by another man, this one seemingly half snake, and was pinned to the cave wall. Okay. So he wasn't exactly blindsided since the demons began screaming at him to look around when the man drew his bow, but Savas stupidly ignored them. Like he did most of the time. Now pinned to the wall he listened to the snake speaking, it's very noticable hiss beginning to get to him, and then heard Fiera speaking to him. Calling him 'little one' once more and goading him further to kill her. Slidding to the ground Fiera passed out and this let Savas make his move unhindered. Wrenching forward he shattered the arrows keeping him connected to the wall and quickly closed the space between him and the snake-man, ramming his shoulder into the man once he got close enough.

"Alright, that should be a good enough reminder [i]never[/i] to attack me agan," he said loudly walking over to Fiera, intending on examining her.

[Big Bad Pennar]

The moment that Savas stepped near Fiera, Her scythe let out a Groan, waking Fiera up, It was a Silent spell that she mastered during her childhood, because she was a High rank assassination target back in Viemvear, as with most Rank Cs were. She giggled and said "What really made you think you were gonna get a pointless drop on me? when it seemed i was calling you 'That' again, Come outside and lets talk" She got up and walked outside the cave, motioning for Savas to Come outside, it was Sunset and almost night time...

(> OoC: A Silent Spell is a Spell that does not need any sort of incantation to use <)
