Losses of the Past

[xxdestinyfearxx]

As he spoke her smile faded, her coming to divert her eyes to the ground, before she pushed herself to stand and move to the edge of the cliff. Her arms came to cross her staring out at the horizon that kissed the sea. No words came to his ears from her, only the seas song that whispered legneds in both ashrams and Destiny's ears.

It was a long while before she did speak her words engulfed by the sea. "I gave up my past for you...." She was glad the sea blessed her and ate her words before they traveled to Ashram. With a sigh she contiue her long stare and fantasies that haunted her, only till they were interrupted an dismissed by the shadows that brought that sword to her husband's hand. Why did that damn thing have to come back? She hated that blade! It was like a releif when he tossed it to the sea. Inwardly she was cheering for him.

Once he came to her, her hands came to sup his cheeks her rising on her toes so to kiss him. It felt like one of those movie moments where the camera swung around them. She was so happy with him at that moment, her forehead comign to press against his after the meeting of their lips.

"i'm so proud of you. You prove to me that life with me is more important then that blade." She smiled up at him, before she hugged him, her cheek resting on his chest. "And what we do next? Move on. I shall help you beat down your demons..." She reached into his cloak her pulling that cross he removed from his next out and again put it on him. "there better..."

It just so happened that Raine lived in that very tower atop which all those goings on were going on. She'd moved in with Cherise and her children, Ryu's own twins- Hazen and Lai.

Sleep having abandoned her again, the raven haired beauty found herself at her window, overwhelmed by a strong sense of familiarity. The twins tossed in restless sleep, Avalon however sleeping like the baby that she undoubtedly still was.

Her window was too far down in the tower to be able to see them from above, but she watched in awe when the red dragon flew overhead.

The fae woman set herself in the wide stone windowsill and leaned her back against it's side, heaving a deep, tired sigh.

[Ryu Yogen God of Dragons]

::that demented smirk would cross that sickly pale undead face as he pushed himself upward onto the talon, the sound of tearing metal sounding from underneath the cloak as he punctured his own armor and chest, but no blood spilling from the wound as he shook his head::

"You forget my dear, dear wife... I am dead... I still feel pain, but the pain of my body far exceeds anything you could threaten me with. I will make what deals I will. And if the god's think I am weak because of the decaying body, then they hae another surprise coming to them...."

::With that those eyes would flash bright blue as he let himself down letting the talon slide from his already dead body and rolling backwards onto his feet, his arms pulling up to his sides as that jaw would drop, his ear ringing scream echoing in the night as a white radiant light surrounded him, an aura of pure holy flames seeming to lick at his body as the screams grew louder, more tortured, as his body would explode into a bright blinding light, forcing anyone to close their eyes or look away as that tortured scream would slowly change into a low raging roar, and as the light faded, and ones could return the eyes to look upon the spectacle, they would see a large shimmering silver metallic dragon, its glowing sapphire eyes looking down upon the now seemingly small red dragon::

~I still have it.... ::small chuckle:: but seems I am weakening all around now...~

::Now as ones would peer more closely, the metallic dragon had its dark red blood dripping from between scales that looked to be a light tinted red to a dark tinted red, almost like a draconic version of Leparcy as the sapphire hues looked over its own body, the aura of power seeming to be only half of what its origional power once was::

~Better stirke my deal with the Gods quick....~

[Lord Ashram]

He was still weary about the cross and smiled as she put it on. "The demons will not be a problem." And they wouldn't be as long as he stayed out of the Shadow Realms and away from anything that brought about hate and anger in him.

His eyes wandered, a bit then shot to the castle.. Ryu had changed. It wasn't his concern so he looked to his wife and smiled. I'm going to lead you lead the way.. I'll try following for once." Once his words were said he kissed her lips softly.

Ash's fire had nearly burned out when he tossed the sword. His will to pick fights vanished. His attitude would eventually die out depending on how things turned out. Even with the rage and hate nearly let go it was still possible to set him off. For her he tossed the sword and he could feel what it meant to her. It was a gratifying feeling but still felt strange about doing it.

He watched from a distance, him shaking his head, before his form lept from the wall of the opposing tower, her form coming to be swirled by red smoke till no longer a dragon walked but a man. He really thought he could get somewhere....Now this would be instresting. Seragato hand a gloved hand through his hair, the white bouncing back, while shadowed eyes came to glance back towards Ryu and Lina.

"Yes, come to the gods Ryu....Come there, and I promise you will never come back the same. Your shell will rott to no exsistance, and your mind shattered and reprogramed." A smirk flared over his lips, him shaking his head. Was a woman in your bed worth your own sacrifice? Stupid mortals, that was their problem. he knew Ryu held my mortal properties, but his mind was weak, he held nothing of the power and immortal rein that was granted to him and Seragato hundreds of years ago. "Vincent you fool... one woman is not worth this... the woman that lays in the bed of another...." Seragato never aditted himself purity, he was like Ryu in many ways of life, except his mission was different. While Ryus was to flutter about in the mortal planes, Seragato's was to watch the Paladin girl who was made by the gods themselves. "But do as you wish... you will regret it..." He gave a chuckle, ihis booted feet carrying him towars the downward spiral stairs. He went down those narrow stairs him seeming to simply vanish. Red smoke would arise form the stairs, giving a lead to where he was headed. He was going to inform the other paladins and the gods that Ryu was on his way.

The fame of Ashram's personality would never fade away, she would see to that. She didnt want a peace loving hippy, she just wanted her dark knight back, instead of the man that would plow through her to kill another man. Destiny was like that. Weird in many ways and having a heart of gold. arms held him, her pecking his lips with the 'mwah' sound her when smiling up at him, his image burnign in her eyes. "Don't follow me, walk beside me. We will pave our own ways and exsistance in this lifetime, and you will be known for your deeds and success." She slid from his embrace, her taking his hand and moving to the edge of the cliff. She didn't look down towards where the sword would sleep for now, but to the horizon as she watched the moon slowly rise. "The Lord blesses you this evening, my love. You have pleased him." She closed her eyes, her voice fading away, her holding her hands out, her breathing in the scent of the oceans water.

It was long moments before she relaxed, and peeked up at him with a snicker. "I say we build our home right here. on this cliff edge." She loved it here, and she knew it was very random, but it wasn't that bad of an idea. COnstruction would take years, ut she would understand and never once complain, but that was up to him, but it would give him and some others something to pull their mind from the Shadow Plains.

But she would let him dwell on the thoughts of a home, her wheeling through her own plan. The demon had not been taken out, but he would be, and not by Ashram. She just hoped he wouldn't follow her back into his nightmare in attempts to make sure she would make it out. Turning about she ran her fingers across his lips, her smiling up at him giving no hint of her own plan to help him. "What do you think? Liek the idea of the home here?"

[Stoic Soul]

: As the pair sat at the edge of the cliffs, a tall figure would be seen a short distance from where the others were. The figure was clad in grey armor, black runes running along the breastplate and shoulder paldrons of the armor. The man's face was tan, blue eyes sgtaring out from under bangs of brown hair, one arm resting against a nearby tree as his other hand rested on the hilt of the sword, the pair unfamiliar to him. He had been away for so long, alot of things must have changed while he was away. Thoughts passed through his mind as he would then slowly make his way towards the cliffs, approaching cautiously, not wanting to disturb the couple:

Raine heard the screams and saw the light and that was enough to push her from her window. She free fell for some time before her tempermental fae wings decided they'd save the day.

In a miniature burst of gold and shimmering black, Raine's butterfly-like wings unfurled from her back and she took flight, upwards toward the top of the tower but far away enough so she could see what was going on without risking harm to herself.

Seeing the large dragon Ryu had become, her jaw dropped right down. And her body seemed to hang, if it wasn't for the delicate wings fluttering madly to keep her aflight.

[Mobius Shadowbane]

:: Nearby a Demon wearing a royal blue cloak would look at the events unfolding and would shake his head. His now glowing silver eyes would look at the people changing and he would realize they do not seem familiar to him and he would slowly walk towards the castle as silently as possible so that noone would notice him.::

[Lord Ashram]

A slight grin was formed hearing her tell him he would be known for his deeds and success. In his mind the only deeds he would do were evil and his success would come with every person he crushed while seeking everything he was after. He was still the same man for the most part, he was just trying to settle into a life he and his wife could share.

With her taking his hand he followed her the cliff's edge and also looked to the rising moon. The words she spoke to him didn't mean all the much to him. He could careless if the Lord was pleased with him. He was only doing all this for his wife. Though he wanted to make his thoughts clear about the Lord he kept silent and looked outward over the sea.

"No, I do not wish to make a home here." It wasn't too long after the last word left her mouth that he made his statement. It wasn't that bad of an idea, it just wasn't the place he wanted to call home. He really had no idea where this place he would call home was, he knew when he came across it he would know.

Her plan would never be found out by him as long as she didn't attempt to do it. It was unnecessary for her to do it. It wasn't the best of ideas either. But should she choose do go through with her plan she may find it difficult to accomplish alone.

Ash's gaze slowly shifted to Mobius. He knew who it was without having ever met him. He had seen and heard of him before. Ash along with his wife had been in GM longer than most so they really shouldn't have given Mobius the feeling that with him being away as long as he had been that things changed. But like Mobius they too had left for long periods of time and came back to think the same thing.

Ash's gaze lingered on Mobius while keeping silent. He didn't feel threatened, he just wondered what he was doing here. As the presence of the Demon came into existance, it was then Ash looked in the direction of it. He took a step towards the Demon but forced himself to stop. Again his eyes shifted to Mobius.. He growled quietly and moved to stand back beside his wife. He was trying to keep from causing another situation that his wife would have to try and drag him out of.
