ss/occult

[09:41] Like a predator stalking its prey the fairy followed through the trees under the guise of an illusion, sweeping through the air in order to keep pace with an unfamiliar roaming among the Dark lands. That which has held rumor and threat for many years, the tainted lands known for most to evade.

"Why do you wander in the woods all by yourself? Surely you've heard just how dangerous they are?" his guise would begin slipping away as the tiny creature carried himself into view, white wings carrying a nightmarish figure ever closer.

"Rumors of Demons and monsters not enough to keep you away? Or is that what drew you in? I am most curious, because for the longest time these lands remained dormant of your species beyond those seeking death."

A little closer and any distortions prior were not flicking a different coloration, green hues sparking among a tainted forest as reality began to bend around the small creature.

"You know, this was the place I was born. The place darkness can be seeded, and the place you will find unwelcoming."

He continued to move closer, the gaze of this tiny form nothing beyond hostile.
(Xarxes)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[09:46] The ranger continued to search through the wood hoping to add to his collection of alchemy materials. His guard slightly lowered but still keeping a watchful ear out. Though for him it was not enough as the fae would get the drop on him. The ookami turning to face Xarxes as they drew closer. "One time I come through you lot attack me, another you say that those of Delphina are not your enemy. I don't really get what's going on with you lot in that castle but make up your damn minds already."

The man acting a bit care free in the moment but still on edge, the fur of his coat sticking up on end in the presence of the Fae. His right eye remained closed as they continued to speak as tension filled the air about them. "Am just here for some things to sell in the shop if you must know."

His gaze locking onto the Fae as he spoke, hearing something rustling off in the distance but choosing to keep his sights on what was in front of him.
(Niclous Runeclaw)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[09:53] An ominous laughter cracked through the air as the form moved even closer, they were ignorant enough to speak of which nation they hailed from and even went so far as to divulge what they were doing.

"You see, I am not truly among the ignorant of the castle. No, I am from that which your Nation wanted to pluck away. That which your species did nothing beyond falter and step down on since conception."

Hatred burned within the fairy, the shadows among these tainted lands would begin drifting toward him like a whirlpool that condensed and drifted beneath his fluttering wings.

"I am a survivor of Abendrot. I am tired of your species doing whatever they think that they can. For you are MY enemy. You lot have taken away my home, so I think its only fair that you obtain a semblance of penance and understanding of what you've done to me."

The shadows raised around his form condensing into an extension of the self as the green haze dilated and his entire immediate presence including alternative magics were accelerated. Drifting through the air toward Niclous he moved like a blur within their gaze, prepared to strike upon their flesh.

They would not wander freely in the presence of this fae and feel safety.
(Xarxes)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[09:59] Niclous would let out a heavy sigh after the Fae had spoke. "So be it then."

His only words said as he then reached back for his bow, knowing that escape was more then likely not an option now with the other presence in the brush. A heavy torrent of wind began to blow around the wolf now, his right eye opening as the magic's inside of it then began to activate, the runes of the eye spinning about as his vision cleared and he was able to see the swirling haze of magic's around the fairy.

His left hand grabbed hold of his bowstring, materializing an arrow of sound and metaphysical magic's. The man using the combination of the two to try and mimic a type of flash grenade type effect in order to try and confuse and disorient his target. The man's heart beating in his chest as he thought back to the day on that beach. The explosion of energy that felt like it was released from Helhiem itself.


As the tension of the situation was reaching it's peak Niclous could only chuckle a bit to himself. "So.. The cycle continues."

He said almost in a whisper but loud enough to be heard by the two in the area.
(Niclous Runeclaw)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[10:03] {Lost Dangerous RPB against Xarxes}
[10:03] ** Xarxes has inflicted an injury upon Niclous Runeclaw. ("Temporary Injury", "Temporary Injury", "Temporary", "Duration: Medium (2 days)") **
[10:23] Forward the creature moved with every intention to tear them down, a desire to inflict harm without compassion for those who had no mercy for him and those that had been around him for over a decade. Though it was not a simple battle, for there was an illustrious commonality betwixt the pair, Niclous was a Shadowmancer.

Be it a burning will to cripple their form, to rip free that precious vitae and begin making restorations he soon found that there was a perplexing mitigation of assault followed by one unyielding to simply fall over and die.

There was a known fact of fairies, they were small, but also extraordinarily fragile which was clear by the numerous scars that they might have flickering instances to observe whenever they drew too close to one another. Small details between the hurling array of magics bombarding one another from their respective fields of study.

Another thing that was made drastically clear was the Chronological motivations within the fairy as he would compound his momentum into Kinetic energy that was released into four points across Niclous' body instantaneously leaving bruises to form and welts to fester.

Waves of metaphysical distortions sought to fractures the senses in tandem with powerful bursts of shadowmancy were traded while his ears rang from the magics of Sound. Their control over wind potent, yet not feared as tremendous damage could be momentarily reversed or mitigated in various manners before his assault persisted toward the conclusion.

That which etched their finale was a selective of symbols not utilized in a considerable portion of Time. Five symbols implanted across their flesh within a single second with a final unleashed calamity of shadows tearing them back into the dark forests brought about the final separation between them.

The fairy had been harmed, yet never once was there a wince of pain nor cry of agony... For he had permanently lost those sensations "You take away my feeling, my land, my people, my ambitions. And expect me to die idly with the collapse.

I will remain, Mortal. I will fester until the day comes you are all cast down into the abyss as the withering is already happening. Each of you losing your time, falling asunder. Its only a matter of just that."

The shadows collapsed around him and slowly began to move through the forests.
(Xarxes)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[10:34] Niclous was on losing the battle, having to give up ground time and time again as his illusion's were cut through and evaporated with time itself. The young ookami being no match for the fae's power an sheer mastery over his newly assimilated magic. Time and time again Nic was reminded that he was not born in the darkness that he controlled but only adapted to it after being tossed into a sea of hatred and sorrow.

Unlike the opponent before him who had lived decades longer then the wolf, using that pain and then losing it along it's journey. Numerous hit's were taken across his body as his own shadow's swallowed up by Xarxes. Pain evident in his voice as he spoke of the misfortune of his past.

As the battle waged on the ranger was able to catch a glimpse of a familiar hooded finger in the brush. "Katey run!"

Nic would yell his attention snapping away for just a moment, this being his undoing. Phantasmal blow's crippling his sense of time and coordination. A surge of shadow's breaking apart a wave of sound and slaming into him. More rapid blow's to his already bruised and battered torso with the sting of mana creeping into his magical circuits.

Niclous then being pushed back through the wood, his senses scrambled and his body damaged would hit the ground. His perception of time and things displaced as the world around him would be moving almost so fast his eye could not register it. His own body feeling sluggish and restrained as his movements as he would try to push himself from the ground.

A long slow groan of pain heard from his as he tried to make sense of all that had just happened in the aftermath of the battle.
(Niclous Runeclaw)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[10:44] Katey would only get here extremely late as she was calling out for Niclous "Dad..DAD!! where are you I know your out here looking for purple mushrooms!" she would note before hearing thunder.. sound magics and all manners of magic.. running to the scene.

and to her eyes she would seeing that Nic was beaten down by a.. fairy? as she had to watch her Dad get beaten around and pushed back in the woods only to hear him cry out for her to run.. as she would stand there for a second and think on it before giving a firm.. rebellious answer

"NO" she would state in the coldest and honest manner as her flames instantly rise.. mixing with holy to suddenly mix with the flames creating a new aura.. something of a mix of Fire and holy as soon enough she just unsheathed her katana as the Tempered steel burned hot with fire and white at the same time imbued with holy magic

"no.. I don't think I will.. You Bug thing!, you just HAD to mess with my family.. you know I don't get it with you demons and all evil manner, you just can't let us have a happy family.. you ruin what we have.. so I guess I got to do what I got to do" the bratty nature inside her just huffs before walking closer slowly.. dragging the sword in the dirt for a second

"Im going to kill you, simple as that I would tell you im sorry for Abendrot or whatever but.. seeing you hurt my dad.. not anymore, you can die with the rest of the witches and demons that plague my Dad and mom.."

with that her Stance completely changes as shes getting ready to attack white fire burning from her blade as she sends a Wave of flames forward to pull the fairys attention to Her now.. its time for the little warrior to do her job, Niclous and Mother Raenesa might scold the Hel out of her since shes only fourteen.. but the kids going to fight and die for her family regardless on what they say.
(Katey)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[10:51] A ball of shadows swirling with a multitude of voices began to motion toward the youthful figure among the Dark Lands. Dissonant whispers flowing among the creeping shadow while it spread from fae to ground and began to condense across the ground like a fog.

"You will kill me? For what purpose does my death serve?" drifting closer his wings fluttered with a dust flickering off them, remnants of power drifting across the shadowlands as he approached with ill intent.

"I don't like children, but I'd have let you leave if you did what they were meant. Seen, not heard. But you went and ran your little mouth as if I am but an insect to be squashed."

The shuddering of Time around him left vibrant cracks that soon snapped together "It was not I who began this assault, but humanity trashing down upon me with all they had. Forsaking me for merely wishing to see, but all have been the same since.

All condemn me, but Iwill correct your illness, break that ambition. For what Abendrot failed to achieve, I will strive to complete even if it takes centuries."

Once more he moved in a haze, sweeping through the air like a blur toward this individual while he intended to break them. If they wished to fight, he would grant them damnation.
(Xarxes)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[10:53] Is beat up watching his child take on a Fae.
(Niclous Runeclaw)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[10:53] Gunther says, "..."
[10:53] Niclous Runeclaw says, "....."
[10:53] Raenesa Vanya says, "We don't need to do this again..."
[10:54] Niclous Runeclaw says, "Rae.."
[10:54] Niclous Runeclaw says, "Take care of Kate.."
[10:54] Raenesa Vanya says, "..."
[10:55] The void cuttlefish is completely unaware of what it's engaged upon, but it's gotta get some experience somehow. Both Niclous and Raenesa look like enough to level up!

...and by that, I mean she's going to watch from a safe distance. Curious, quiet.
(Kether)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[10:57] The swordsman would simply take out the blade. Though he didn't come here to fight these two. Actually he was seeking those of the Ebonblooded. But fate had it that it was them he would bump into.

He would take the blade out and go at Nicious.

"I did say I will come back didn't I?"

Xarxes was fighting as well.

Seems like a lot was going on near this territory. Cold breaths would come from the being this time around. They would watch as each step he took would become more and more dangerous.

"Im coming."


(Gunther)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[11:00] "what purpose dose your death serve?.. my you are extremely dense" she stated coldly just.. to instantly give them an annoyed look as her flames just crackle and spark more and more

"you know I said what I said, I would not of walked closer if you just never attacked my da-" her voice cut short as the fairy said that her dad began the Asssult as soon she would turn her dad just for a second as blood crimson eyes glare at him with a hint of fire

"if this is true Dad.. im disappointed in you.. you told me to attack only when needed and I hope these rumors are false and lies.." she spoke sternly to her own father even seeing.. Mother Raenesa? oh no.. now shes really going to get Scolded for being dumb today..

without a second to think she would only state one last time as she simply would just give them a simple answer "sorry.. I don't care if you don't like children, you attacked my father regardless and I wasgoing to find him and bring him back home.. you could of talked it out but instead you attacked him back.. maybe my dad attacked you first.. either way.. im just doing what I promised to do to my Family"

without a doubt shes ready to fight using her sword and stabbing it in the ground before kicking up Dirt to attempt and distract the Fairy as soon a Giant Field of holy magic would appear just for a Fire wave to go blasting right through it as the fight begins regardless.. the time for talk is done, now its time for action
(Katey)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[11:02] Niclous had made it out of the oven and into the frying pan, a small grin across his face as he would clench hold of his bow. The assassin's words becoming jumbled from the faux flow of time being perceived by his brain. "Heh.. "


The man had no witty comeback's at all this time around, the situation had gone from bad to a complete disaster in a matter of minutes. His gaze looking to Rae for a moment as his focus would allow him to manage a few words. "I got this one."

With that the ranger lunged to the side with his bow drawn, different path's being seen as they were laid out before him. His right eye helping him see the true timeline in a sense but his senses still in confused state from his previous fight. Conjuring forth an arrow he would notch and ready himself to fight the foe in front of him only hoping the best for his daughter and Rae.


(Niclous Runeclaw)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[11:08] {Won Dangerous RPB against Gunther}
[11:08] ** Niclous Runeclaw has inflicted an injury upon Gunther. ("Temporary Injury", "Temporary Injury", "Temporary", "Duration: Medium (2 days)") **
[11:17] Katey felt the barrage of Time magic hit her and all manner as she was soon find that hitting a Fairy is a lot harder than you think.. her mind felt weak the more she would fight and damn.. those shadows where always her downfall as sure she landed a good few hits but, this foe was.. more than she can take maybe listening to dad.. was a better idea as she just chuckles her stance breaking and her blade falling from her hands only for her to grip it before it completely falls out her hands

"Infected? come now im doing as any warrior would do for her family, my love for them will guide me to victory and shall see is happy at the dinner table again, its what brings my holy to life. I planned to Get hurt and die for my family for without them I had nothing, I owe them my life"

seeing how the fairy mocked them of being killed and her weapon was Pathetic.. sure they might be right as for once this fairy was very intelligent as she gave her simple answer looking to the sky and chuckling a small bit "you know.. im fully prepared to die you know that? I do not wish on it but if it happens.. well all I can say is im sorry to the people I love its the path of a warrior and a road im willing to walk

maybe Saying ide kill ya is.. that bratty side of me h-heh.. either way my job ain't done, whatever you do to me just know Mother Raenesa and Niclous even my mom will punish me Ten times harder than you can haha.." she just chuckled a small bit and grips her sword harder ready for the next assult.
(Katey)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[11:23] The ranger's own perception of time had been greatly altered from his previous fight, his own senses being his enemy in this battle along with the assailant. Doing his best to lead them away partially away from the three and what Nic could see few on looker's in the area his mind began to slowly realize that the three had to leave the shadowlands and quick.

His attention then going back to Gunther, struggling to remember what magic the assassin used from his attack on Rae after the war. Niclous putting his new method of arrow's into play as he fought. Time deceiving him at ever corner as he turned to shoot his arrow. Various images of his target plastered across the forest.

"Tch... Damnit..."

A slight anger coming from the wolf now, something much unlike him as he would close his left eye. His right eye still having issue's tracking the cloaked figure through the brush. The scent of blood heavy on his person however made it easy for Niclous to know his general location. The battle being a quick and decisive trade in blows between the two. The man's shadow's and Gunther's ice clashing. The landscape around them becoming a battlefield as their magic continued to rain down.

A quick rapid succession of arrow's were fired from his bow in hopes to disorient and confuse his target. The shots hitting their mark in the assassin's shoulder and leg exploding on impact and causing a small blast of sound to daze them. It was then Niclous would reach his hand up to the sky and summon forth a bolt of electricity. All he would be able to do in his current beaten and broken state.

The bolt reigning down from the heaven's and striking Gunter atop of the head and then causing them to fall to the ground. Niclous not wanting to waste another second would run back in the direction of Rae and Katey as fast as he could to see Xarxes deal a non fatal blow to his daughter concluding their own skirmish.

"Rae we need to go."

He said in a rushed tone, wincing lightly as the vaarious bruises and cuts from the ice only added to his pain.
(Niclous Runeclaw)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[11:29] The swordsman was no weakling. After all he was able to fend off a lot of people and still keep a constant pace and speed. But he knew that this man was going to be trouble.

After all if the woman with him gave him a hard time. The...sound magic!

The smashing of sound and the ability to constantly escape the assassin was annoying very annoying. A ability that made it hard for him to cut into these bastards. They were able to escape range and constantly become pain in the asses.

Great.

The ripping of claw. The fleeing of shadow.

It was such a time for Gunther as he felt the pain course through his body. The amount of energy being collected. Such was life but he would know this sound that broke through his body was able to pierce his functions. Taking him down.

"..."

It was a loss cause.

The assassin would have to escape for now. Though who would think he adventure further into the darklands.
