Rhett was passing in the vicinity of that place they had taken him too and had witnessed the end of the sparring between Fiera and Savas. "hmph, how can they save anything if theyr're fighting amongst themselves?" He muttered, taking one last look at the cave and the people before he walked off. He wasn't sure what to do with the scythe, he wanted to keep it as it seemed to hold some part of Merril in it, but it was large and quite a pain to have with him. It had to do as a walking stick for the moment being, but he knew it would look odd if he walked around with a scythe like he had just gotten off from a day of work on the fields. Or, just gotten off was wrong, he'd never seen a common farmer walk around with a scythe so late. He looked incredibly suspicious with this scythe... he sighed. "I'm sorry Merril" he mumbled and the threw the scythe into the woods. It pained him, but his first priority was to not stand out and seem normal, the scythe prevented that.

((OOC: let's see if the scythe finds its way back to him later shall we? ^.^))

When Luke heard the words "We're leaving." his neck started moving very quickly, and he was sure that we would have to fight some on the way to where ever they were going. he looked around and noticed everyone had weapons made of some odd material, but he didn't. When he looked over at Savas and Flandre to ask who made them, he saw the huge block of silver. "1: Who made thossse weaponssss that you all have, and 2: WHAT THE HECK ISss THAT Big Thing!"

[Big Bad Pennar]

(> Really now Luke, I'm nowhere to be found. I'm pretty sure you mean Fiera <)

Fiera Looked as The Lamia passed her again and tossed the Scythe she gave to him into the woods, She sighed, She had forgotten to tell him how to work the thing, but her train of thought was interrupted when Luke came outside and asked her who made the weapons, and what was that Giant silver block protruding from the ground, She said "First off, They're blessings from the Council, as for the second question, That's a Giant block of Silver from when Me and Savas Sparred, I had to create an illusion because I knew that the Battle was going to get Really Hairy, but that really didn't become affected by my spell". Fiera looked at the woods and found the Scythe that The Lamia threw, and sensed The Deceased's presence in the air again. Knowing that the Lamia is Nearby. She whispered in the Air toward the scythe "Oh lost soul, I really want you to show the owner of this scythe it's True potential" At which she Threw it, Spinning fast in the wheel position(Spinning axis is at the center of the Staff of the Scythe rather than the 2 tips of it(Spear Position)), at Rhett....

[Christian Exodia]

Lucifer was in the forest, and got hit in the head by Rhett's scythe(He's always in the right place at the right time!). "OW!" He exclaimed, falling unconscious. When he awoke, the scythe was gone, and when he looked out of the forest, Fiera was throwing it at Rhett. What he didn't understand; one, why was Fiera throwing Rhett's own scythe at him, and two, why she threw the center, not the blade point. The only logical explanation was that she was throwing it back. But, he still had to say it: "WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!" His voice boomed towards the group. "I was training, I was slammed straight in the head with your scythe, dude! But, it might have been unintentional..." He trails off.

[Master Red]

((OOC: I don't believe Rhett has told anyone his name))

He turned around as he heard that someone suddenly started to yell at him. Before he could see who it was though, he was hit in the head with the scythe he had thrown away earlier, and he fell down to the ground. Now, the strange thing here was that once the Scythe touched him Rhett changed, to say the least. His hair grew long and wavy, the scruff on his face disappeared and his skin became fairer. His facial structure changed completely too. The defined squarish jaw and chin became softer and more feminine, along with the rest of his face. His body, too, was changing into the body of a woman rather than the more bulky male one he had had just a moment ago.

Although, there was much more that had changed about Rhett than met the eyes. His entire soul had actually been swapped with the one within the scythe, the soul of his beloved Merril.

Her skin was a milky white but it looked very natural. Of course, since she too was Lamian, her skin tone was a bit paler than it should be, but Merril had been naturally pale even before the change. This had probably helped her to be selected for the ritual, as being pale was seen as a Thanatan blessing. Albinos were viewed as godlike creatures as they shared two traits with Lamias. Red eyes and Pale skin, yet they were still human. All albinos tended to be turned Lamian at young ages, Merril had once met a century old eight year old that had been turned because of her condition. Male albinos were sometimes turned and still respected as they believed that Thanata had chosen these men to accomplish something special. ((OOC: oops, trailing off here...))

Merril groaned a bit and touched her head, switching places with Rhett had been more painful than she would've thought. She was wearing her favorite sky blue dress, her long blonde hair trailing down her back. "I'm glad you found out to use the scythe, but I wish you would've been more careful" she mumbled as she picked the scythe up and looking at her reflection on the silvery blade. "Goodness, look at my hair! It's such a mess!" She exclaimed, starting to brush a hand through it in an attempt to correct it. She even found a twig in the hair that must've tangled itself in there when she fell to the ground. Most unpleasant.


((OOC: I'll have an app ready for Merril soon, and I changed the power of the scythe a bit, instead of just creating the illusion of looking like Merril, he becomes Merril))

[Big Bad Pennar]

(> Looks like Rhett's soul gets to follow the scythe lol <)

Fiera looked as Rhett was hit with the Scythe, he was turned into someone else, and That the presence she sensed in the scythe was replaced with a more familiar presence, She walked closer and more cautiously until it hit her, Rhett was completely replaced with the presence inside the scythe, Fiera walked up to the Lamian Girl and asked "So... how does it feel to be back down here again?". She looked at the Girl with a very solemn, but happy and relaxed look, She waited for an answer....

[Master Red]

Merril gave a sigh and gave up on her hair, it wouldn't do what she wanted anyways. Not without a proper brush and water at least. She glanced at that weird bird-woman as she approached and straightened her dress out. "I don't know exactly... I had never thought I would be back here again, but I did miss the scent of flowers and hay over there" she stated, not really answering the question but the tone of her voice and her mannerisms would say she was pleased with being back.

"I guess my dear Rhett won't be too happy about this afterwards, being trapped between two realms and bound to a scythe isn't very much fun at all I'm afraid" She said, looking at the scythe once more and stroking the shaft of it. She couldn't touch Rhett physically so it would have to do, if he was there she'd embrace him but that was not possible now."And goodness Rhett you really need to take care of who you eat, I can feel the filth from your last meal in my body. We might not be able to get sick but it is very uncomfortable to have syphilis in your body anyways!" She exclaimed, slapping the blade of the scythe so it spun around in her hand. She didn't know if he could feel any kind of pain from that slap, but she sure hoped so. What he had eaten was just disgusting!

[Big Bad Pennar]

Fiera Smiled and said "Bringing a Sinless soul such as yours back always seems to please not only me, but the council." then she made a more serious face and spoke in a more serious tone "Alas, We have very pressing concerns, The boundary between Viemvear and Kerulia is Weakening, We are not so sure what is weakening the Boundary, But as I feel, Your return had made the boundary a bit stronger, So i believe that it is a High amount of Sin that is causing the boundary to weaken." at that moment, she asked "Would you like to help me with my Mission to Unite the world and stop the boundary from breaking?"....

[StealthyTyranitar]

Luke walked out of the cave, and saw what looked Rhett from here. He walked a bit closer, and when he saw a woman, he walked back to the cave. "Ow. My head reallY hurts."Luke lied doewn, and fell asleep, but only for a second. He woke up, and saw a Rontage's face in front of him. Someone had found him. The face said: "Hey! We need help. The elves are are about to start attacking again!" Luke remebered that Fiera's mission was to stop sin, so he ran over to her, and ignored the Lamia. "Hey, there is a huge war about to happen. The elves are about to burn the forest down!"

[fenrir]

Mickey sighed. This creature might be friendly, but it was useless to him. [i]Very well, I shall be on my way then.[/i] Slian broodmothers seemed interesting enough, certainly new to him. The drones however, were slightly familiar. They reminded him of the 'Valley Dogs' that locals described during his desert travels. His memory wasn't the best, but he might have squashed a few of these drones before. For some reason he was also thinking of a buried desert spider, but the notion of the idea was extremely stupid and he quickly dismissed it. He started to move, making sure not to step on any drones/the lines in the dirt. Still, he was unsure of where to go.

[Big Bad Pennar]

Fiera heard Luke saying about his home being attacked, She had felt worried, "[i]So that's what this headache is about, That's the Sin I have been sensing, That war![/i]" she thought, then she was frightened, some of her students could be serving in that war, and she did not want to commit the sin of killing her students. She then said "I will help you on one condition... Before I was assigned this mission, I used to work at a magic school, Several of my Students may be Drafted in the war, I want you to capture any Elf going against you that is using Magic instead of killing them, in addition, Capture the ones I point out as well because they can still be of use to me..."

[StealthyTyranitar]

"Alright, fine. I will not kill other magic-usersss, jussst fightersss. Follow me to the town, I know the way." Luke started walking of, going over in his head his plan. He would go in after the war was started, then fight like mad, being careful not to go into a rage, so he didn't kill any magicians. He would then leave when it was obvious that the battle was about to end, then leave, making sure to be in full battle armor. He needed to tell Fiera about somethings very inportant. "Hey, Fiera, I need to tell you sssomethingssss. First of, I cannot be sseen by my people. I am a refugee. And I am also what is known as a rager (OOC: Gregor the Overlander quote), which meens if I start fighting, sometimes, I can't stop."

[Big Bad Pennar]

Fiera Had followed Luke to his hometown, but when he stopped to tell Fiera something, She looked at Luke, Suddenly, She heard Yelling as if a battle was going on, She giggled and said "You go on ahead, I'll flank the Sinners from the left." She got a little worried, calling some of her Students 'Sinners', She was here to rescue them, not to sentence them to their Deaths. She leaped to her right and into the bushes, Disappearing from Luke's view.....

[radio414]

If Slia could sigh, Illith would be right now. The giant thing had just left, taking out a lot of exitement that was in discovering something new. But that was life, one dissapointment to the next.

At least it wasn't all bad yet. The two creatures that were hiding had yet to reveal themselves. They didn't yet appear agressive or friendly yet. So she would wait. They could appear whenever the liked.

While waiting, Illith contemplated what she did wrong while "speaking" to the giant thing that had just left. She did make a little mistake, stating that she didn't need any help. She actually needed some help for a plan that she had just thought up. One that may or not be suicidal, but Illith was too annoyed with her Queen to care.

But she needed allies. Whether an infinite amount of Drones, or an explorer who sympathized with her cause, she needed help to pull this plan off.

[StealthyTyranitar]

Luke was a little agraveted that she didn't listen, but kept on going, this time full speed, and charging. His armor was magnificent. It glowed in the bright sun(?). When the warriors saw him, the warior in the black armor, some fled. They would most likely tell tales of him. While he was fighting, he felt something hot on his back. He turned around to see a soldiers blasting fire at him. "Capture the magic users." Luke remembered Fiera saying. Hecharged full speed, and slammed into him. Enough to knock him out, but not seriously hurt him. He slumped him outside were the battle was happening, were Fiera was. He then ran into the battle, only to be stabbed by something very sharp, right through the gut. He looked up to see who had done it. When he looked up, he found the one person who wouldn't stab him. It was his best friend from childhood. He looked up, with a look that said.. "Why?" At first, he had a mean glint in his eye, but by Rontage tradition, he lifted Luke's helmet, to reveal who he had killed. " Holy Web!" He ran off, not calling for a medic. Luke layed there for a moment, going over all the great things that had happened in his life. His sn, his late wife, and his glory. He sighed, saying goodbye to the world.

(Don't worry, this isn't the end. And anyone feel free to save me.)

((Giant snake spider love family.))

Jyran yawned and stretched. Naps were import to a healthy Dis Klahn. And he was both an healthy growing Dis Klahn as well as a growing Cas'ten. He paused. Something was off. He sniffed the air. Then again to be safe. Luke and Fiera were gone. The La-mi-na man had not come back yet either, and it smelled like the strange man Savas had followed Fiera and Luke to were ever they went. He and Lucifer were to only ones left in the cave. They didn't even leave a not. Not that he would have been able to read one anyway, but he heard it was in human practices to do so, and Savas and Fiera were human, in part at least.

"Lucifer, wake," Jyran said, jabbing the bear man with a claw. "Wake Lucifer. Fiera and others gone. No one in cave but me and you. I smell not fighting, just what left from Fiera and Savas challenge, but I scent trail leaving cave, heading into forest." He narrowed his eyes and his ears flattened, tail lashing. "I not know why they leave us, but we must follow. Wake Lucifer!"

[Big Bad Pennar]

(> It's Dawn, but Fiera is still able to cast magic under the cover of the forest <)

Fiera had in turn gone deeper into the forest and peeked out further, at which she muttered "Pterro Vievinar Diamakuria!", at which a Black ball of darkness appeared, At which she then said "Diveriaku!", at whichthe ball split into at least a hundred Blue Magic bolts that had homed in and flanked the enemy from the side, Knocking many unconscious, She had dodged the fireballs aimed at her. All of a sudden, She had heard whispers, She charged left and looked for Luke, She had easily found him, his helmet removed and a large gash in the gut. "It's not time for you to die yet" Fiera had said, but in addition to her voice, 2 others had said the same in unison, A Masculine voice and a Reptilian voice. She put her hand on the gash and Muttered "[i]Vieta Daoitarku[/i]", Luke could feel energy pulsing through him, as if some force was renewing him from the inside out, When she lifted her hand, it was like the stabbing had never happened in the first place....

Several Elven soldiers Convened towards Fiera to pull her away from Luke, but she fought back by hooking each of the Soldier's Legs with her scythe and knocking them off your feet, when she heard one of the soldiers ask "Fiera... Why do you do this?" She was shocked, She lifted the Helmet and found out that it was her Informant, The one who told her that the king of the elves wanted her in the first place, She dragged him out of the battle. After getting further out in the battle, She said "I was called on by the council of where i originally lived for a Grand mission, To Unite the world against the Rising Darkness and To find a way to stop it from advancing", As she dragged her informant out of the battle, She saw one of the Soldiers laying slumped near the trees "I have asked the Rontages to capture the Magic users cause i know that i am going to need a lot of help, but i'm mainly looking for my Students..."

[StealthyTyranitar]

A light began to shine in his eyes, and he saw people sitting on thrones. He was walking towards them when he felt a strange feeling. He no longer felt the pain of the gash in his stomach. Everything went black, and then, light. He saw another warrior raise his sword above his head. He quickly jabbed his leg into him, then picked up the soldiers sword. He went back, and with the sword, fought a bunch of other soldiers. He never did like swords. To much finesse. Not enough strength involved. He felt the rage come on, and went into a fury, slashing and hacking. He came across a magic user, and stopped. He bashed on his head with the flat of his sword, and placed him next to the other magic user. "Huh, I guesss ssswordsss aren't so bad after all."

[Big Bad Pennar]

The Informant gave a Nod and disappeared into the brush, Luke's not going to see a lot of Magic users for a while....

Fiera then went back into the battlefield as the sun started to rise, She was sure that Merril was fine in the cave, however, She either had to keep her magic in the shadows or use her scythe in a hand to hand combat, She then thought of an idea, however, she needed to get the Rontage back in their city. "Oy There!" She yelled at Luke, "Get the others back into the city, and Hurry!", She looked at the platoon advancing towards the city and prayed that it will work....

"Restriction R Released!" She muttered as the Area around her became Grey with the exception of the Platoon, She pointed above the City and Yelled "Diemvarkuna Tsarnira Viernasu Dieku Vieta, Silvira..." At which a Black space opened up above the city, Again, No Black hole effect, She pointed at the Space in front of the Platoon and Uttered "Meaku!" at which a House-Sized Block of Silver shot out of the space, closing after it completely left the space, It caused the Elven platoon to run the other direction, The huge Block of Silver landed exactly where Fiera had pointed, Missing Luke and most Rontages Completely, A Few Elves were still fighting at the city, Fiera ran under the Silver block...

[Master Red]

"The others are fighting some war" Merril stated from the darkest shadows within the cave. She was a bit tired, but not overly so and she did feel a certain resposibiliy to watch over those two man-beasts as they were sleeping. If she would have fallen asleep and someone would've found them, well, she wouldn't have been easy to wake and it could've ended badly not only for her but for those man-beasts as well. Merril was not sure if those beasts spoke the human tounge however, but hopefully they would understand her.

Rhett was probably annoyed that he was still bound to the scythe while Merril was out but both she and him knew that she didn't grow as tired during the day as he did. Not only because she was four years older than him, she had even coped with staying up during the day better than some very old Lamias. She didn't know why this was the case but she did know that it came with a price, she burned a lot more easily in the sun and as such she preferred to stay in the safety of shadows and darkness during the day.

While the manbeasts were sleeping she had changed into her daywear; black skintight tights, brown leather boots, a white buttonup shirt and the black veiled headpiece and the black gloves, all keeping her safe from the rays of the sun. She had also pinned her hair up in a bun on her head, being ready to travel or fight if necessary, hoping she wouldn't have to do either though.

[GreyCat]

Jyran cocked his head had the lady. She had the same smell as la-mi-na man did. With the scent of female instead of man, of course. And she smell a bit confused but hopeful. He couldn't really understand her body language; one because he didn't get humans fully yet, and two because it wasn't really a language for them. Why these naked peoples made communication so difficult was beyond him. Scent and body language were both easier to understand as well as deep in meaning. You could convey much more meaning through them than you could with sounds alone. Humans and some many others had handicapped themselves in sticking to sound alone. Really, how could you warn someone if your mouth was full?

"You smell like la-mi-na man. You la-mi-na too, yes? La-mi-na woman?" He opened his mouth a bit to better take in her scent and to memorize it. He caught something else in her scent. A hint of the la-mi-na man. His tail waved happily. She was mated to him. They were a mated pair. But why would she appear after he disappeared? And with his scythe? "You la-mi-na man mate, yes? I is Jyran. Is nice meet you. You say Fiera leave with Luke to fight? Why not wake me? I fight good! And Fiera not strong in Sollas' light. She do better under Lunas' light. And now is to-dawn." He shook his head slowly. Fiera might have bitten too much to crunch. "Sollas get bright soon. Not good for her."

[Master Red]

So one of them spoke human at least, but he spoke in a very weird fashion which Merril found a bit amusing. She actually giggled a bit, especially at the 'mate' part, he truly was a man-beast in a way. "Yes, you are correct Jyran, my name is Merril and I'm a LA-MA-YA as well" she answered, putting emphasis on the Lamia part in hopes that she could teach the little man-beast how to say it correctly. "You can say that me and Rhett are a couple, yes, but it's kind of complicated at the moment..." She drifted off a bit after the last part, not wanting to have to explain this weird situation to the man-beast as she didn't know how she could do that in a simple enough way for him to understand fully. "I do not know who this Luke person is, but Fiera I met briefly and she went away to join in some war... I would guess that Luke is the snake-beast that told her about it, am I correct?" she asked, it would be logical if that was, indeed, Luke. But one could never be too sure. Perhaps that snake-beast was merely a messenger of Luke's?

"I decided to stay here, within the cave, to be safe from the sun as well as making sure you two would be safe" She explained, and then realized that didn't really make it sound like she thought they could fight. "I didn't know what your skills were so I decided to let you sleep, especially him there" she said, and pointed towards the other man-beast in the cave. "There's a saying among us humans to not wake the bear that sleeps, and he seems to be part bear and thus I was careful not to wake him" she explained, hoping that this would make enough sense to the man-beast known as Jyran.

((OOC: Merril will probably refer to you guys as snake-beast and man-beasts even when talking to you sometimes. This is not to be mean or point out that they're inferior beings, that's simply the only word she would know to explain their kind ^^*))

[StealthyTyranitar]

(OOC: Alright. Geeze, Rontages now hate Luke.)

The war, for the second time, was shifting in the Rontage's direction. Luke knew he wasn't needed anymore, so he began to walk away. But right as he was leaving, he was sorrunded by a large group of Rontages. He weilded the sword, and quickly threw it behind him, killing the Rontage behind him, but he winced. He didn't want to have to do this. He quickly strung 5 arrows, which was part of an archer trick he was working on. He fired them horizantilly, slaying the five in front of him. He ran through the hole he made, and ran to Fiera, looking for a while, until he found her. He looked at Fiera and said "Look, I need to get back to the cave. I'll explain later." He ran to the cave, and saw the woman [s]Lamina [/s]Lamia.

[GreyCat]

"Yes... Dis Klahn have same saying," Jyran said gingerly, remembering his own encounter with a sleeping cave bear. His tail wasn't quite the same for months after. "But you sayed I say name wrong, yes? You La-mi-ya. Lami-ya. La-miya. Grywah" He swore as he stumbled on the word agia. Some of the sounds in the human tongue were just too annoying. "Human not first language, I not good at it. Luke speak it though." He huffed and tried again. "Lamiya, yes? And you called Merhil, yes? And man Rheett? You make pair. Scent calming. And... I not know human for it, but my people say Rruklck."

He closed his eyes. Now that he met the female of the mated pair, he could scent their paired markings. All peoples had it. And there was enough of Rheett's scent lingering to mix with Merhil's for him to pick up the signature. To him it conjured images of Lunas' light ofer a field of night flowers. "Yes, you make very very good pair." He nodded as his tail continued it's merry wave. He would have asked if they had kits, but he found that not all human females liked that question, though it was polite among his kind, and not knowing lamiya traditions (or anything else for that matter) he didn't venture there. "But it is as you say, Luke is snake-beast. I think he sayed he is Ruun taj."

[Big Bad Pennar]

Fiera had heard that Luke was heading back into the cave, however, The Reason had already explained itself, In front of her advanced several Rontages toward her, about ready to strike her with her legs, She kept an eye on them as she heard the obvious noises of a Platoon behind her, she had prayed for some sort of Miracle until it came in the form of several Blue fireballs coming from her left, She looked and saw a group of Elven magi, Teenagers Specifically, Which it had hit her, Her informant had taught her students spells in her stead, and most of the Students were drafted into the Elven Army. She had gotten up, Shrinking the Silver block to be a large ingot, Fiera got up and brought the Ingot into the forest, Barely avoiding the Soldiers as they charged. The Elven Magi said "We believe we are ready to help you on your mission, Miss Fiera" Fiera was shocked, and asked "Who told you about my mission!?", All the Teenage Elven Magi pointed to who Fiera identified as her informant....
