The Story (Ashbourne Mountains Setting)

[~*Reiana*~]

Saige looked over to her side and then she saw Nexus look at her. She smiled at him. She led them towards a corner where it wasn't filled up by gathering people. She glanced at Dragogale and saw that he looked reluctant. She frowned a bit confused then it came to her. " How could I forget, this is a dracomancy academy. Duh!"she thought. Saige placed a gentle hand to comfort Dragogale.

Then she dropped it to look at a painting on a wall. She studied it with amusement. The painting was of a dragon. Flames came out of its mouth and the dragon had blood red scales. Its wings was outstretched in a significant pose. She was studying the painting and not paying attention to her surroundings when a boy came right at her. She flew back and Saige reached out to grasp on something.

Her hands and head went on Dragogale's chest. " Oww that hurt.... Wow Dragogale your really solid."she said then knocked on Dragogale's chest. She looked up and smiled at him her eyes lighting up. " Sorry..."she said then slowly stepped back. Hert face growing flushed.

She turned away and looked around again and her gaze found the boy who ran into her. The boy smiled at her with an apologetic grin. She smiled back." I'm so sorry...I wasn't watching I didn't mean to hit you."the boy said. Saige shook her head. " It's alright, I know you didn't mean it. Apology accepted."she said then winked at him.

The boy blushed then he bowed and left turning back to look at her once more before disappearing off. She grinned then looked at Nexus. " It looks like we are going to be here a while, so why don't you tell me about you Nexus." she asked with a smile. Then she placed a gentle hand on his arm telling him he didn't have to tell her if he didn't want to and kept her arm there.

Axel jumped off her shoulder and she watched as he leapt on Dragogale's shoulder. It looked like Axel was having a conversation with him. Then she turned her attention back to Nexus.

(Dragogale has permission to play Axel)

[Half-Dragon]

Dragogale didnt really want to venture any farther into the academy. He didnt relize that it showed when he felt a hand on his forearm. He wondered,"What was this for?" He decided that Saige was just being nice. He watched her walk over to corner with a magnificent painting.

He slowly followed her and wondered why she was staring at the painting of a dragon. He looked over to the side to see some boy running in the hall towards them. The surprising part was when the boy shoved Saige into him. He felt a thud hit him across the chest, then he looked down to see Saige her hands on his chest.

At that moment he felt something happen whithin himself. " Oww that hurt.... Wow Dragogale your really solid." he heard Saige say. He grinned at her and gave her a toothy fanged smile. "Thats just the way I'm built, after all I am a half-dragon. If you haven't forgotten."he said. He watched in amusement as she knocked on his armor and he watched as she stepped away. For some odd reason he felt a bit disappointed. He watched as she stepped away and saw her face grow flush.

He saw Saige smile at the boy who shoved at her. Then he watched as the boy left to go with one final glance at Saige. Dragogale turned away and looked at something else other than Saige, when something jumped on his shoulder. He looked and saw Axel. "You hitting on my girl Saige?" Axel asked with an amused voice.

"What? Hell no?! No I'm not. You saw what happened, the boy shoved her. Anyways I was just a wall for her so that she didn't fall."he said.

* * * * * * * * * * *
Nexus watched as the little incident happened. He payed great attention to what happened. It happened fast but he got the drift of what was happening between Drago and Saige. Nexus ignored it though because he saw Saige draw back from Drago and approach him instead. He looked past Saige though and looked over to Dragogale and to Saige's cat because he heard some kind of conversation happening between the two them and from the expression he saw from his friend it was something unexpected.

Nexus now returned his attention back to Saige. He heard her ask,"It looks like were going to be here a while,so why dont you tell me about you Nexus." He pondered about the answering the question. He was still thinking about answering the question when he felt her arm go around his. He smiled contently and also blushed a little. He decided it would be worth while telling somebody about his past even though he wasnt exactly the most open person there is. He answered her question," Sure I tell about my past. Its kind of aqward though because I havent told anyone about myself. So I dont know how to start."

[L y n n - C h a n]

Lynn glared and took out some random clothes and turned away from the group and slipped on the clothes. Black capries and a white tank top. She sighed and followed after them, looking at the surroundings carefully. She looked behind where they came from. Beautiful darkness slipping away from her. She hated her human form. She growled and glared daggers at Kai and whom ever was in sight range.

ooc// i have no clue what else to post >.>

[..::\-Kai-/::..]

Kai raised an eyebrow at Lynn, then rolled his eyes and lokoed away. "I try to help and all I get in return is a glare. Brilliant." Kai looked around. If he left to go and get his sword and necklace from the church, then would he be able to get back into here?

* * * * *

Denkou started getting really annoyed. No one was doing anything, just starting at walls [Saige] and glaring [Lynn]. Denkou narrowed his eyes at nothing in particular, then looked at Cane.

[~*Reiana*~]

Occ// Saige isn’t staring at walls now, she’s talking to Nexus….

Saige smiled encouragingly at Nexus. “It’s alright. If I wanted to tell you about my history it would only make me sad. How about you start in the beginning. I’ll give you a tradeoff. I’ll tell you about my past first even thought it makes me sad and then you can tell me about yours. That way it won’t make you feel that awkward anymore.” she said softly. She looked away for a moment to think her words over. The she looked at Nexus’s face studied it for a moment before looking down on the floor. She sat down and gently tugged on his hand so he would sit down with her. And so she began…..

“I was a happy child growing up. I had a twin identical brother name Tara. My parents ruled and led the actavians. They were fair towards everyone including towards my uncle and his kind. At that time I didn’t really know about my supposedly uncle known as Deveril and his kind. I always though that everyone was the same. Everyone was friends with a dragon. Some of my people were even married to a dragon. My father was friends with the dragon King. Everyone had a dragon as a friend, including me but I can’t remember my dragon friends’ name or his/her features. But I think it was the dragon Kings’ son or daughter. I can’t remember. Anyways back to the rest… Everyone was happy as I can remember, then one night everything just fell apart. My uncle and his men did something terrible that turned the dragons against us. I don’t know what, but it was terrible. Friends killed one another. That was a night I want to forget. I remember hiding in the closet my parents had shoved my brother and I into. Both Tara and I peaked out of the closet. And we saw our father and mother being murdered by our very own uncle. Tara got out of the closet and I was too slow to grab on to him and to hold on. He ran towards my uncle his hand in flames ready to attack but my uncle turned swiftly and slashed his stomach. The blood…. It was terrible…. I was only a child and I… I was so scared…. I knew my uncle knew that I was in the closet but somehow he let me live. A mistake he made. When he left the only thing he left behind was a mass of bodies and a sea of blood. The smell was revolting at first but I got used to the metallic smell. Unlike the blood of humans and some other beings our blood is metallic silver. I did my best on summoning dirt to cover up my people and the dragons as well. There were so many bodies…. After that I was so exhausted and so alone I thought I was going to die as well, until Axel found me. He helped me get through everything and he was my sole companion that never ever betrayed me. I grew up in the forest learning the ways of magic. As for Axel he was my only friend that I trusted and he was also my guru. He taught me what I needed to learn. I tracked down my uncle and I’m killing all his comrades that were in on it on killing everyone. I’m still tracking them down and one is in Nuchu.” she said her voice so soft and sad.

The Saige looked up and looked at Nexus. Her eyes teary she also looked towards Axel and Dragogale. Then she smiled. “ That’s my history…. So will you tell me of yours? You don’t have to if you don’t feel comfortable.”she said. Saige leaned on the wall and waited for a reply.

[Half-Dragon]

Nexus listened carefully to Saige's sad tale. He payed close attention to what happened to Saige's past. He now understood a few things. He looked over with a sad look, he tried to have a comforting face but it wasnt the easiest thing to do after her story. He looked her straight in the eyes and said softly,"Guess were not that different afterall. We were both left alone early in life.", Nexus turned away from Saiges face and looked at the floor scanning his memories of his pastm,"Well. Ive havent told anyone of my past but if you can tell your past then might as well tell my sad tale."

He looked up at Saige again and began his story,"My life started in a small village north of Triliment, a good 30 miles up. I was part of loving family of four. My older sister,me and my parents. My parents life ended by my 7th birthday. They died by a vicous wild battle cat attack and to think they died looking for a present for my birthday. Guess they didnt intend to give me their death as a present. I didnt see it but my sister told me about it which left lonely for a little while. I was still happy though because I still had my older sister to stay with. I lived with her for another 3 years or so but she died also from an curable illness. In my village though we did not have a doctors or healers to help so she died soon. So that was it, I was alone completely this time. Things became easier for me though as my life progressed. I stayed in the village for about another year or so. I left and wondered the lands. After a few months a joined a great army, which a befriended Dragogale over there. So I was entirely alone, I had plenty of friends in the army as well. That too soon ended. A freak accident happened on recon which a dont have to much memory on. All that I can remember is some of closet friends died on that day, that was all. After the accident I left a once again I jorneyed around Crios. I experianced lots a things on my travels which I enjoyed very much.

[~*Reiana*~]

Saige listened to Nexus's life story. She sighed then leaned on the wall. " I'm sorry about your family... It's so sad....but I wonder why some people have life in a difficult way..."she said softly. She smiled towards Nexus.

" Makes me feel special when you say that you haven't really told anyone about your past much. There are only a few who knows of my past. I think some of the half dragons and dragons still despise us. I shudder to think about it."she said trying to lighten up Nexus's mood.

" For me as for friends.... I don't really think I've had any in the last few years.... I'm basicly a wanderer with an assignment. As I've mentioned before only Axel is my friend."she added. Glancing towards Denkou and Cane then towards the others.

" When are we leaving..."she thought." Maybe not for a while...."came the unexpected reply from Axel. Saige looked towards Axel on Dragogale's back. " What are you up to?"she thought. " Nothing that you should know...for now.... I think this dragon here likes you... but he's in denial..."Axel's teasing thoughts said.

Saige narrowed her eyes dangerously and looked at Axel. " Leave him Axel. If he says he doesn't like me then he doesn't like me. But jeez don't chase the guy around. Just leave him alone to relax atleast. The dragon looks ready to attack."she thought angrily.

she watched

Unfinished

[L y n n - C h a n]

Lynn sighed and took off the jacket and shouted to Barrelex. "Heres your coat back." She yelled and tossed it in his direction. She turned her back on him and continued to look around and well... be Lynn. Bored. Angry. Hunger quite satisfyed. She sighed and touched her shoulder. A scar lay dorment on her pale skin. Visiable to everyone. She glared down at it. Three scars running along beside her. It rivered from the top of her shoulder almost down to her lower back.

This peticular wound would never heal. From the werewolf that turned her. She sighed and looked back at the group. Tuneing out everything. 'Stupid quest thing...' she thought bitteraly.


------------------------------------------

Cane stood quietly next to Denkou. Not sure what to do.. Not sure what to say. She looked awkwardly at the ground. Thinking of whatever she thinks....yeah

[Barrelex]

Barrelex hurried out of the Hatchery with his eggs. The polar blue egg he chose was starting to hatch and he remembered that he had forgotten to lock the door behind him. He also heard Lynn's voice but only faintly, so he didn't hear what she said. The polar blue was freezing his gloves, so he had to hurry. He looked to his right and saw a dragon ready to snap at him- his eyes had no pupils too.
"Bedlock disease..." he whispered.He went to a nearby stall and grabbed a hoop made of a flexible wood. "Well, Aries, you always were a problem child." he said to the dragon- a Boneplate dragon.
Aries screeched, his double clawed paws breaking through the gate, and drool dripping from his jowls.
"Bring it. " Barrelex said to the now feral dragon, placing the eggs on the ground- eyes never leaving Aries. "Try my new spell- Rainbow Bolt!" he said as the semi-circle flew from his hand, slicing one of his horns.
Aries made his move, after a minute of pain. He charged at the human, his eight claws reaching out for Barrelex's heart. Barrelex expected as much and jumped out of way. He dropped the hoop and picked up an emergency stoneshot gun and fired. He missed though. As he did the Polar Blue hatched;only it's tail poked through however...

*******
Dionica glared at Nezumi as she dropped him into the water. Bending over him as he surfaced she looked at him in the eyes( adorably large frightened eyes at that) and said " You little pervert...". Turning around she said again "Since you seem to like this so much, watch what it'll inflict." She raised her tail and brought it down on the little halfling. Plunging him down, she was sure he had broken an arm. She raised him back up, then let him float away, walking off calmly.
On the beach, people avoided the beautiful and yet dangerous woman, as she went to the change room. Her armor was off and replaced by a delicate tan swimsuit- the top covered with a shirt and her lower uncovered.With her sword on her hip and armor in a bag, she went onto the warm sand. Then she started to sleep and wouldn't awaken until sundown.

********
Drakenrios thought over the newly acquired information given by Ryokhan. A group had been given the Neos orb, Ryokhan had the Chronos orb and had poisoned a dragon at the Academy with Bedlock disease..The Legator was also with them. Looking at Tornphoon, he sent a telepathic message. Send Aquilli to Nuchu's harbor and make him wait for 1 or 2 weeks. Both Nuchu and these humans will drown or be poisoned by him. Tornphoon nodded and flew to the Archepelago, message in mind. Oro, and Auriok must be with them... he thought as he touched his oversized Grim Reaver sword and the body it contained. His body. A tear fell as he thought of the Sage's seal and the people's treachery. The Reaver poured more thoughts of their deaths and Draken returned to his darkened self again.

[kitten]

Taylin slips away from the main group and turns towards a small side building, concealed in the shadow of the wall. She opens the door and enters what appeared to be a small storage shed. At least to anyone who didn't know the secret of the building, and of course, Taylin did. She pops open a trap door in the middle of the floor, revealing a long flight of stairs that descended into darkness. She allows her elvish night vision to kick in and slips down the stairs, moving silently downward. After several minutes she arrives at a large wooden door with no visible handle or latch. She remembered the first time she had stumbled across this door. It had been one of the few she hadn't been able to break into. It had also brought her into contact with what she had named the Red Council. The Council consisted of seven dracomancers, each one a prominent member of the Academy. They had recruited her on the spot, almost forcing her to sign a contract swearing that she would protect the Academy's assets and members, all the while keeping the Headmaster oblivious to her workings. She had and now found herself in her current predicament. She was traveling with the headmaster and couldn't really protect him without giving herself away. Most rouges weren't in the habit of saving other people's lives unless it benefited them too. She taps on the door in a series and the door swings open silently, granting her access to a massive chamber. In the center of the room stood a single stool, surrounded by seven throne like chairs. In each of those thrones reclined a humanoid dressed in a dark red robe, a deep cowl pulled over the head, concealing the face. She had been able to discern that the council was composed of four human men and she women one of them possibly an elf or half-elf. This time there was something amiss that caught her eye as soon as she entered the chamber. An eighth being in red was also in the room. It stood beside the largest and most ornate of the thrones, whispering to the man, who happened to be the council's leader, seated there. Taylin unconsciously slips a hand to one of her long knives. She would have preferred to use a throwing dagger, but the magic on her bracers was rendered useless as soon as she entered the room. She approaches the stool and stands quietly until the leader of the council turned to her and recognized her presence. The man studies her for several seconds before speaking in a rough voice. "Why have you returned? The Headmaster is supposedly leaving for the mountains at any time. You are supposed to follow him...Or are you trying to breach your contract?" At that last part Taylin flinches slightly and shakes her head vigorously. "I would never breach a contract. I will hold to my word." The man nods and leans closer to the being beside him. They whisper for several seconds before the man turns back to Taylin. "There has been a change in your objective. We require you to assassinate the Headmaster. He has become too reckless and poses a risk to the safety of this Academy and its students. You will preform this task as soon as your group reaches the Ashbourne Mountains. You will find a person there who may be of help in completing your task, as most of the remaining members will object to Barrelex's death. Now rejoin the group and preform as instructed." Taylin nods once and spins on her heel, stalking out the door before any of the Council members can register that she left. She stalks up the stairs mumbling softly under her breath. She didn't really like this turn of events. She had just saved this man's life and now she was supposed to take it back. That didn't sit well with her at all, not to mention the eighth council member. It hadn't seemed quite human to her. She continues to ponder as she slams open the trapdoor and exits the shed.

[Half-Dragon]

Dragogale didnt know what to do now. He heard Saige and Axel argue over something but he wasnt paying any attetion at all. He scanned around the area and noticed that the door Barrelex went through was open and it was a while since he came out. He looked at his shoulder and still found Axel there. He quietly asked,"Can you get off my shoulder please. I have some bussiness to attend to right now." He didnt wait for response though and grabbed Axel by the scruff of the neck and put him down, not to gently either.

He made his way towards the door and peered in seeing if Barrelex was in sight. He didnt see Barrelex but he did hear him further down. Curious to see what was going on Dragogale ventured farther into the rooms. Eventually he did come across him but he was fighting some other dragon. Dragogale smirked and asked,"Do you need some help Dracomancer?"

Dragogale watched carefully to see what the Dragon might do next. The dragon was coming straight for him and he was just standing there like a fool. Dragogale was thinking,"Move it you stupid Dracomancer!" On impluse Dragogale sent quick air blast at the dragon. Which helpfully slammed against the wall. It didnt keep him down though the dragon quickly got again and was heading towards him."Why do I get myself involed in such things"Dragogale grumbled. Again he channeled the air waiting for the dragon to strike first.

********

Nexus listened to Saiges comments. He smiled knowing that she was trying to make things seem happier. Nexus was happy of course and running through his mind was,"Holy shit. Im getting lucky today. This is the closet Ive ever been to a chick." He looked towards Dragogale who looked very uncomfortable right at the momment. He tilted his head and said,"Wonder whats eating him?"

[Barrelex]

Aries spun his bony head at the intruder, and charged, blowing a cone of sand into his face. Barrelex was happy to see Dragogale, but also scared of losing his companion. His arm that he recently broke burned in pain, and yet he continued to engage the dragon. He knew better to dodge the two tails, so he grabbed one and held on.
"Bony old bastard." he muttered as he started climbing. Warp gates opened on Aries's back and a group of watery black humanoids moved towards him. Living Ink - a Chaos creature, also called Oni. How the hell... he thought. Then the oni pack swung at him their limbs; limbs that reformed into swords, axes and the like. It was six to one on a moving boneyard.
Another gate appeared, with it a small purple cloud. This moved into the dragon. Then came the rotting. Aries was becoming a Dracolich...
"Could this day be any worse?" he said as the stench filled his nose and scared the other dragons.

********
Ryokhan looked as the one he called master released the parasites into the warp gate he made. The being moved to a throne, his cloaked face showing nothing but a glowing black mask- no openings for the mouth eyes or anything... "That should prolong them....Summon the Gyouten... My minions must know that a traitor is in our midst...Denkou must die... He failed to eliminate the target.... it said. The cloaked figure sat down, and rested himself, taloned gloves scraping at the metal throne.
Ryokhan fled as soon as he could, mainly because The Drifter always had a air of chill around him, and beacause disobeying meant death. They were once the Chaotic Four, but that was short lived...

[L y n n - C h a n]

Hizoku sighed as blood was running down her face. Splatters on her streaming down like crimson tears. She looked down at the dead man on the table. The room stenched fresh blood.
"Wow. That... was actually very cool." She muttered quietly. A light smirk playing on her features. The gruesome sight in front of her was gorey. The mans head was compeltely bloody, with bits and pieces of his skull seen through the sea of red. His eyes were gouged out, leaving dual coal pits. Blood was dripping to the floor like a sadistic melody. Hizoku was swaying back and forth. Staring down at her work. She sighed and looked around. Tools of torture at her wake.

"Hmm what shall I do next mister cutie?" She asked the dead body. She sat down on the chair and stared at the wall oppisite of her. Bored and wondering what to do next. She stood up again almost impatiently. She couldnt sit down with the adreneline and excitement corsing through her. Muttering to herself and pacing around. Once and awhile giggling sadisticly but still not taking action in what to do with the corpse on the table.

OOC// ahahahahaha me and my sadistic mind!!!! >=)

BIC// Lynn sighed and watched as most of the group was breaking up and exploring on their own. She shrugged and broke away from the group herself. Bored she turned several corners and opened a random door. She peered inside and walked in silently. This room was half lit from a medium-ish window. Sunlight pouring inside this room. Lynn looked around. No was here. She sighed and relaxed. Walking to the darkest corner and slid down the wall and into a sitting position. Anger was fading away and sleep was tugging at her brain. She wrapped her arms around her legs and laid her head on her knees. Closing her eyes and finding the keyhole through her eyes and drifted to a light sleep.


Cane was looking at the ground. Then back up at the sky. To the clouds and to the disappearing members of the group as they went on their merry way to do what they do. And here she was standing there like an idiot in an awkward silence. She looked back at the ground. Her boss wasnt gonna be so happy at her failed mission. And the great Cane was starting to care. She sighed and destroyed those feelings and looked at Denkou, feeling cheerful and carefree. "So what do you want to do?" She said with a light smile.

[..::\-Kai-/::..]

Kai sighed in annoyance as he paced slowly, wondering what he should do, but his mind was leaning to the idea that he should return to the church and retrieve his sword... Yeah. That's what he would do. Kai looked around him, An no one was really paying any attention to him. "Okay...I'll just slip out of here unnoticed. Good." Kai stalked off to the barrier's edge, and sunk into the shadow underneath. He reappeared in the mass of shadows outside of the barrier.

"Well, that was easy enough. Wonder if getting in is as just as simple." He looked at the Church, then to the black sky. Kai began to walk to the church, increasing to a jog, then was running full-speed to the church. He changed direction and leaped into the air, sinking into the shadows immediately. He reappeared in the church, flying across the room. He positioned himself to land on a bed, but messed up and hit the bed frame painfully and crashed to the floor. He sat up and rubbed his cheek. "Note to self: No more flying through rooms."

He stood up and looked around. He saw a small mirror and looked into it. He rubbed his cheek again. "That's going to bruise..." he noted, before straightening himself up again and looking around. Just as he predicted, his sword and necklace were on the floor. He smirked and picked up the necklace and put it on, it hanging loosely around his neck. Then he picked up his sword which was it it's scabbard, and he strapped it across his back.

"Now.. I guess I can take the safe way out of here... I'll just walk..."[/i] he muttered half-mindedly out loud as he approached the door. When he laid his hand on the door handle, he immediately felt a shiver crawl up his spine. Something didn't seem right, but he proceeded on anyway. He opened the door, and what he saw made him freeze in his tracks. There was a decapitated body hanging from the ceiling right in front of him. It's mouth was open, lips sliced, blood still dripping from his colorless face. His sockets were eyeless. It's body was sliced heavily, as though it were done professionally, and done for show, and heavy torture.

"....Eww." said Kai simply as he unsheathed his sword then pushed the body off to the side to he could pass without having the still-dripping blood fall onto him. After he passed, he saw the sea of blood and bodies ahead of him. "Double eww..." He mumbled, then headed to the end of the corridor, weaving between the mass of bodies. "This must be the work of that Chaotic Three member that was apparently here earlier. I wonder if that Neo Marella guy's dead too... Probably..." Kai reached the end of the corridor and looked around. Still bodies everywhere. "Maybe I should look for Neo. See if he's dead. Barrelex seemed to be buddies with him or something. Bet he'd like to know whether or not his friend's dead."

Kai began to creep though the blood-drenched hallways, weaving trough the rooms, searching for Neo. Kai found it weird how there was so much blood. Everywhere. Kai shrugged. "Must've been lots of people here..."

ooc// By the way, Kai isn't fazed the slightest bit by all the bodies. Haha. Awesome.

* * * * *

Denkou looked to Cane and shrugged at her question. "Don't know..." he paused for a minute, then continued. "Well, maybe we--" his words were cut off by the strong feeling inside. He could sense something VERY powerful nearby. You'd have to be a Necromancer to feel this kind of power. It was a feeling of the undead looming closer. He looked up to where he felt the power radiating from. It was from an open doorway. Denkou's eyes narrowed very slightly, then he took a step forward. "Stay here." he said to Cane, then slipped away from her.

He approached the doorway, and began to walk down, after closing and locking the door behind him. No more than a minute later, he found himself standing before a Dracolich. He looked around, and saw the Dracomancer, the Half Dragon, and a hell of alot of Oni. "What were these two doing down here that brought all of this?" he wondered, but the thought remained an unimportant question that soon slipped away from his mind as an Oni loomed closer.

Denkou simply pulled out his double-edged sword, and lunged it at the Oni. The sword sliced right through the creature, But Denkou pulled out his custom-built gun and shot it between the eyes. He looked to the Half Dragon, who seemed to be waiting for the Dracolich to make the first move. The Dracomancer was watching the rotting dragon. "Idiots! You never let the Dracolich make the first move!" thought Denkou angrily, before swiftly approaching the Half Dragon and the Dracomancer.

"What are you two doing?!" he hissed. He looked at the Dracomancer. "You. This thing is half dragon, so I need you to help bring this down." he said, before looking to the Half Dragon. "And you, go take care of those Oni. We don't need them after us." Denkou didn't bother saying how he would help with this. Denkou turned to the copper-haired guy. "You're a Dracomancer, so start trying to control this Dracolich." he said rather rudely, before facing the Decaying dragon. Denkou glared at it, then pulled off the leather glove, exposing his skeletal hand. This was a risky move; If any of these two put some thought into, it, they could realize that he was part of the Gyouten. But a Dracolich wasn't anything easy; Denkou would need both his hands to try and control this beast.

Denkou raised his hands midway at the Dracolich, and a purpleish-black magic swirled around his two hands, getting ready to try and control it. Though, Denkou knew that he wouldn't be able to take care of it on his own. As much as he hated to admit it to himself, he needed the help of a Dracomancer to control the Dragon half of this murderous creature.

* * * * *

Yuki looked around, bored out of her wits. She noticed Nexus, and grinned devilishly. Yuki backed off into a shaded corner, and transformed smoothly into her white fox form. When she was finished, the stalked toward Nexus. "Heh heh heh... I might as well have some fun here..." Yuki crouched, then sprang forward and sank her jaws into Nexus's calf. Why? Just for the hell of it...

* * * * *

Nezumi felt his arm snap. Underwater, he screamed out in pain. Being the small thing he is, he fell unconscious and began to drift away. Shortly thereafter, he re-awoke to find himself on the shore, partially buried in sand. He painfully pushed himself up onto his feet. He cradled his arm with his other, and looked down at it. A silent tear rolled down his cheek. His arms hurt so bad, but he tried to be strong, and didn't cry out.

Nezumi sniffled and slowly made his way back to the inn. There he'll look for a healer or someone who could heal his arm...

[Half-Dragon]

Dragogale watched as some guys comes waltzing in and starts shouting orders at him and Barrelex. He didnt like it but he noticed that this man reeked of dead flesh, first thought comes to mind is a necromancer. He then looked closer and noticed his arm wasnt human, it was skeletal. That was intriguing. Dragogale looked around analyzing the situation. He saw a Dracolich and maybe half a dozen black creatures he hadnt seen before.

Not knowing what else to do he drew his blade and charged at the first of the black creatures. He had heard the possible Necro call them Oni. He dodged the first ones swinging sword arm and brought down his own blade down on the oni. He cut it cleaning through the gut, pleased with himself he backed up and was ready to attack the next approaching Oni. When he saw the creature he had just sliced reform into two more creatures. Dragoglae jumped back to avoid the other Onis axe. He called out to anyone listening,"How the hell do I kill these? They just come back and replecate."
