OOC: Geez, you like to think of interuptions dont you? =P

Kuja stared blankly as Felecia was being dragged away. As soon as they were out of sight, Kuja closed his eyes and concentrated. He focused on the necklace he gave to Felecia, lucky he managed to store some energy in it before handing it to her. Once he had a lock on it, he vanished inside a portal appearing behind the shade. Kuja, sword-drawn, immediatly cut for the shade's shoulder once he emmerged from the portal. He cleanly cut his arm away. With his free hand, Kuja quicky gripped the severed arm pulling it away from Felecia's neck so the poison wouldnt even touch her. He thudded the shades back making Felecia fall over and he whirled about, stabbing the poisoned blade into the shade's head.
"I swear these assasin's are idiots."

OOC:Yeah, it's kinda my talent.If I made a book it would probably be full of interruptions.

IC:
Felecia felt the shade lurch forward as Kuja hit him, she pitched forward out of his grip, but caught herself in time.She turned around just in time to see Kuja stab the shade in his skull with his own dagger,"I feel the same exact way, I'm also starting to feel like a damsel in distress, with you saving me all the time." she said, and laughed,"Okay, now that that's over.....where are we?" she asked, finally noticing that they weren't near the plateau.She felt an achy feeling in her stomach, but grit her teeth against the pain.

Ebony roared loudly as he felt his Rider vanish,"Not again." he thought.He contacted Felena,"Fel, I need you to find Felecia and Kuja." he said urgently, knowing he would never find them, but that Felena was a very good tracker,"Be careful Fel, don't overdo yourself." he said, with worry in his voice.

Felena heard the urgency in Ebony's voice and hurried out of the cave, she quickly shape shifted from a were-cat into a Lethrblaka, knowing that she could fly faster in this form.As soon as she was done shape shifting, she leaped into the sky, driving her large, black, powerful wings down as hard as she could.She flew for about ten minutes and decided it was time to start calling for them, she opened her mind and shouted,"Felecia!Kuja!Can you hear me?!" she waited two minutes and got nothing,"I hope their okay." she thought.Felena continue searching for her friends for another two hours, but soon her wings got tired of flapping and she was forced to land, she sat there, panting with fatigue,"I have to go on." she thought, then realized her wings were to tired to continue in this form, she went through her memories of people and animals, deciding that a horse would do, she shape shifted into a horse.Felena twisted her elegant head around, wanting to look at her body, what she saw was the most beautiful color of copper she had ever seen, in the sun she looked like she was on fire.Felena let out a shrill neigh and galloped in the direction she had been going the last couple hours.

OOC:Whoa.....did I write all that?

Kuja looked around, he didnt realize that they were so far off already. He sighed slightly but looked at Felecia. "Well...on the bright side, we could use this time to ourselves."

Kuja wasnt sure where that came from, he just went by instinct and the words came out of his mouth.

OOC- Btw, Mesaraih might be joining us, I asked him yesterday and he said he would be up for it. Need some more character drama than just us you know? So I thought I'd "spice" things up a bit. Not sure when he'll pop up though.

OOC- It would be better if you did read the whole thing but ok.


To start things off, Kuja lost his dragon, Galbatorix killed him(go figure). After passing out from the mental shock, Kuja is dumped in the hadarac left to die. He is found by an old man and brought to a desert village. After recovering he leaves and walks around the village. Felecia shows up and notices Kuja, despite him changing his appearance to look like his body's original host Xaldin(Daidrea's half brother who is dead, the shade part of him "Kuja" took over his body and altered his appearance if you dont know this already.) Felecia confronted him and dememanded to know why he was here and where Selris was. After telling her what happened, he walked away in anger.
Basically she felt no one should go through that pain. She followed him to the end of the village. They stayed around an abandoned house for several days. After many events during that time, they begin to well...fall for eachother. Of course Kuja has no idea what to do since he has never known "love" before and Felecia hides it and also feels slightly guilty about leaving Mesaraih for Kuja.
Anyways, eventually due to events, a bounty was placed on Kuja's head by Galbatorix. So we get mass loads of assasin's. They eventually have to move away to a different part of the desert. More stuff happens blah blah blah. Ebony dies. (Felecia's Dragon.) Blah blah, (Comes back amazingly.)

The day we are currently on is Felecia's 100th birthday. I give her a necklace. Basically I am the first "person" to give her a gift other than Ebony. Later in the day we reveal our feelings to eachother. Then a shade assasin shows up and takes felecia captive. I get to him, kill him, and now we are lost in the middle of the desert. Which is now where we are at.


Holy crap thats a big summery.

Felecia was about to lay her head on Mesaraih's chest, when the pain came again.She uncurled her wings and quickly stepped away from Mesaraih.Felecia tried to scream, but again her voice failed her."What is happening to me?" she asked Mesaraih and Kuja only.She crouched down and hid herself behind her wings, when she uncurled them a couple seconds later she looked at Kuja and Mesaraih with tears in her eyes,"Help me....." she asked pleadingly.Felecia bit her lip against the pain.It was relentless, she would do anything to rid herself of the pain, the everlasting pain.Felecia's wings quivered in pain, but then she suddenly felt as light as air, the pain vanished.She felt herself being picked up.Unknown to her, a shade had picked her up.Felecia groaned softly and the shade froze, he whipped a dagger up to her throat and said smoothly,"Don't move, any of you." he glared at Kuja,"And don't even think about going into one of your portals, this dagger would be in her throat before you could do anything, so if you have any sense at all, you would stay put to save your girlfriend here.And just so you can't track her...." he ripped off the necklace and threw it at Kuja's feet.Ebony snarled at the shade and started to advance, but he brought the dagger closer to her neck, making Ebony stop in his tracks, still snarling.Felecia groaned again, the shade glanced at her, then vanished in a puff of smoke.

Felecia woke a couple minutes later with chains around her wrists, ankles, and wings.The shade was standing over her, she tried calling to her friends but something stopped her,"They must of drugged me." she thought.She started struggling against the chains, the shade laughed at her futile attempts.

Ebony roared loudly when Felecia disappeared, he was worse than mad.His whole body quivered,"Mesaraih, Felena, Fenirexes, Kuja, get away from me, NOW!" he said, barely able to stay in control.Ebony started to grow at a furious rate, his scales turned red as blood, his eyes were no longer the soft gold that made him so easy to trust, they were red.Ebony roared in fury and glared at Mesaraih, Kuja, Fenirexes, and Felena,"Meet my wrath." he said, his voice no longer gentle or calm, but full of anger and malice.Felena quailed from him, this was the only time she was purely afraid of him, but she also was the only one that could calm him down,"Ebony listen to me." she said, Ebony snapped his head in her direction and snarled,"Eb, listen to me!" she said, more firmly this time.Ebony cocked his head at her,"Eb, listen to my voice.I love you, we have a child, we need you to have a straight head." Ebony roared again, but this time in pain.Then words of wisdom that Zeke had said to him came back,"You will always have a choice between what is right, and what is easy." Ebony shuddered violently, and returned to his normal size, his scale color going back to there black, and his eyes returned to a soft gold.Ebony collapsed onto the ground, Felena rushed to his side,"I hate it when you go mad like that, it scares me half to death." she said, with fear in her voice.Ebony looked up at her and his eyes flashed red again, but returned to gold.Felena took a involuntary step back,"You think I like to do it?I hate it when I lose control of my anger.I hate to scare you." he said, sternly, but gently at the same time.Felena nuzzled his face lovingly.

OOC- Well since Red isnt showing up in posting, guess Ill just go out on my own to find you.


So much happened at once for Kuja to keep track. He was so stressed he had spaced out. He barely noticed that Ebony had an anger episode. Unconsiously he stood up and began walking in a random direction. Kuja had a strange sense of emptiness. He didnt know why...but now that Felecia wasnt around...he felt like he had lost something.

He walked in that direction for an hour. He felt around with his mind. Nothing.
Where are you.

Kuja remained quiet. He stood dazed as Ebony spoke to him. Suddenly he wasnt feeling to good. Bent over and gaged, puking a little bit. Now Kuja felt completely drained of energy. He took a few steps forward, he eventually fell to his knees and laying on his stomach. He breathed quickly and he looked at the ground with his head turned to the side. He was so tired he couldnt keep them open. He eventually did, drifting off in sleep.


OOC: This is actually quite literal...I'm not feeling to good. Gonna be sleeping late tomarrow lol.

OOC- Well I am better now, sleep and a crap load of Sprite does the trick =P


Kuja awoke a few hours later. His stomach didnt feel as bad but it still bothered him slightly. He stood up and looked to see where he was. Ebony wasnt far from him who was dozed off.

He looked around, again he tried to feel around for Felecia, still nothing. Damn, because I got sick means they could be anywhere by now.

Kuja went over and kneeled next to her. He pulled out the necklace, dangleling in front of her face. "Do you recognize this?"

He waited quietly, see how she would react.

Felecia stared at the necklace that the stranger dangled in front of her,"Yes....." she whispered,"I do." she put her hand on his and lowered it so she could see his face better,"K..Kuja?" she asked hesitantly, then looked at the other person standing next to a red dragon,"M..Mesaraih?"

Ebony laid down on the warm, soft, sand. She'll remember all of us. He thought. It will just take time..

Felena laid down next to Ebony,"Are you patient enough to wait for her to regain her memories?" Ebony looked at her,"Of course I am, I will wait for decades if I have to. She looked at him knowingly,"Okay, maybe not decades. As long as necessary." he consented, laying his head on the sandy ground. Felena eyed him sternly,"Felecia needs you, whether she remembers you or not, you are still dragon and Rider, and nothing, I repeat, nothing will ever change that." she said, laying her head next to his.

Kuja placed the necklace around her neck. Afterwards he stood up and walked away in contimplation of his thoughts.
He didnt know what to do. Where do we go from here...what will happen now...?



(I was thinking about starting another post, just a continuation of this. Except its probably just you and me again, Mesaraih hardly shows up, I have to PM him just to get him to post. As for Erais, even though not in this post, isnt even logging on anymore. It saddens me but it seems that the forum is losing Rpers. Ive been looking around and it looks like that we are the only really active ones left....maybe a few more. But now it just seems as the story comes closer to a close, people are begining to lose interest.)

(Sure you dont want to start another post with just you can me? Like I said, just a continuation of this.)

Kuja turned towards them. "I just found it under some rocks ontop of the plateau. I was sure it was just a gem stone, I even examined it." But thinking about it he felt bad now. Was I the cause of this? He turned and gazed into the sky. 4 hours left...heh.

OOC:Well I was thinking about it, but I don't know. It's your RP...but I wouldn't know the first thing to do if we did that. I pmed red and he said he's just really busy, in other words, life happened. Give him some time, I mean a couple months ago, I wasn't on SF for *thinks hard* a little over 2 months. Give him some time, he will come back. Right now....maybe we could say Mesaraih and Fenirexes fell asleep or something like that, that way he's still in the story, but out of the way at the moment.

IC:
Felecia glanced at Mesaraih and Fenirexes, she almost burst out laughing when she thought she saw that they were out cold asleep. She turned back around toward Kuja,"They will be safe here, you can ride with whom ever you wish." she said, gesturing at Ebony and Felena, then she walked over to Kuja and cupped his chin in her hands,"Kuja, don't even think for a minute that all this was your fault, what has happened, has happened, nothing can change that." she said.Felecia took a step back and flapped her wings, wanting to find out what was going on. She touched the necklace and let a small gasp, she was in Kuja's mind, she quickly jerked her hand away and the feeling went away. Okay, that was weird. she thought, then looked at Kuja,"Did you feel that or was it just me?" she asked. Felecia jumped slightly as a elf/human, she couldn't tell which, a horse and a wolf came into sight,"Eka fricai un Shur'tugal, my name is Felecia, Rider to Ebony." she said, showing her palm to them,"I serve the Varden.

Ebony chuckled to himself when Mesaraih and Fenirexes looked like they had suddenly fallen asleep, but let out a small growl when Felecia touched her necklace,"What just happened?" he asked, Felecia looked at him,"You felt it to?" he nodded his head to confirm it. Ebony looked at the strangers,"Eka fricai un Skulblaka, my name is Ebony, dragon to Felecia. I serve the varden as well." he said, bowing his head down slightly,"And who are you?" he asked walking up behind his Rider.

Felena growled deep in her throat, then shifted faster than ever before, to a crimson red dragon. She leaped right over Ebony and landed on a assassin that had been sneaking up on them. Felena snapped her jaws and hissed, then said with malice in her voice,"You can threaten to kill Kuja, you can threaten to kill Mesaraih and Fenirexes, you can even threaten to kill me, but never make the mistake of threatening to kill Ebony or Felecia." she took the assassin in her jaws and turned back to the group,"If I set you down and you try to escape..." she let the threat hang in his mind. Felena set him down so he could stand, he tugged away from her and she growled, stopping him in his tracks. Felena looked up at the new comers,"Hello, I'm Felena." she said pleasantly, then glared at the assassin,"Don't move a muscle." she growled. Felena stepped away from him and shifted to a Lethrblaka again,"Sorry about that." she said.

ooc: is there a certain order in posting? Elfrida's half Elf half Were-cat to get rid of any confusion....
ic:Elfrida slightly trembled when she saw Felena, but she shook it away. "I am Elfrida" she said while holding her right hand over part of her face. "and these are Blacknight the Horse, and Death Haunt the Wolf, and we serve those in danger from the king-especially Urghals." Blacknight nickered a greeting, and Death Haunt gave a low growl. and said in his thoughts where all could hear him "It is nice to meet a Dragon, and his Rider...have you by any chance heard of a man-or rather half Elf who goes by the name Wulfe? he is a master assassin and we seek to kill him" Elfrida glared at Death H. "that is our worry not there's" she told him then to the others she said "it seems a coincidence that you are also being tracked, I wonder.....and please ignore Death h. his mouth tends to hang loosely and he wanted to kill your Human friend here-is he also with the Varden?" she then directed her words back at Death h. and said "if I hear you mention his name again, I'm sure Blacknight will give you a hard time." Blacknight smiled a horsey smile and thought to everyone "it is indeed a pleasure to meet all of you, Ebony mighty Dragon, Felena Body-changer, and Felecia Dragon rider-pretty name Felecia if I ever have a foal I ought to name it that." through all the conversation Elfrida's eyes darted from side to side, and she kept her hand to her face....

OOC:Order is up to Daidrea. It could be in the order that we joined the thread, which would be: Daidrea, Me, Red, and you.

IC:
Felecia looked closely at Elfrida,"Why are you covering part of your face?" she asked, spreading her wings to there fullest,"And no, I have not asked the assassins I've killed their names, but Felena does have one alive." she said, looking back at Felena. Felecia searched the edges of the desert for her horse, and found him not to far away,"Come." was all she said. Two minutes later a pitch black horse came into sight, galloping fast with ease. A minute later he was in there camp, his legs shaking,"Hello everyone, I'm Midnight." he said, his voice coming in gasps. Felecia touched his neck and let most of her energy flow into him, making his legs stop shaking,"Thanks Felecia, I needed that." he said with a horsey grin. He looked at the strangers,"And who are you?" he asked, nickering softly at the mare (OOC:Blacknight is a mare right? I'm kinda guessing cause I can't tell which gender Blacknight is.)

Ebony entered Elfrida's mind,"You have no need to hide the fact that you have a scar from me, little one." he said gently, then brushed Felena's mind,"Bring him forward." he whispered.

Felena nodded ever so slightly at Ebony then shifted to a sky blue dragon again and whipped her long tail right onto the assassins back,"Come here." she ordered, he hesitantly stepped forward. She growled at him to stop,"Is this the man your looking for?" she asked. The assassin suddenly took off,"Oh no you don't!" she snarled. Felena leaped into the air and shifted in mid-air to a black wolf. She landed in front of him with her face in a vicious snarl,"Turn around and walk back the way you came unless you want to be fried from lightning." she said, opening her mouth an inch to show him the deadly electricity in it. He backed up quickly away from her, but she stepped forward with him. Ebony snorted,"You don't want to mess with Felena." he said to everyone, especially the assassin. Felena grinned at him,"You got that right." she said, then turned her attention back to the assassin,"What is your name?" she asked, he didn't answer,"Eb." she said. Ebony nodded then threw back his and roared loudly. When he lowered his head again to look at the assassin he was trembling from head to foot,"Now, would you be so kind as to tell my mate your name before I rip you to shreds?!" he said, flexing his sharp talons. Felena stared at the assassin with her black eyes, and he stared right back.

OOC:Just so you know, Felena can talk out loud no matter what form she is in.

OOC: No, theres no order.

Kuja sensed a presance near by. Eventually he turned and saw the stranger that was before them. He found it rather strange, but not interesting. He paid little mind to the new comer, he didnt want to deal with something like this right now. He had too much on his mind to really pay attention.
However he did get a little irritated when he was called a human. Heh, I have been in this appearance too long.

He ignored the noise of the commotion behind him. Geez its hard to think.

ooc: sorry if I didn't clarify that Blacknight is a mare......Death Haunt is a male..to clear up any confusions...btw is Kuja really a human?

ic:
Elfrida looked into Felecia's eyes wondering if she should trust her. she finally said, "I hold my hand here because of a large scar my brother by birth gave me...it pains me when ever he is near..that is why Death asked if you had ever heard of Wulfe"
Blacknight nickered in return and touched Midnight's nose in a traditional horse greeting, and said "I am Blacknight, and this is Elfrida the Were-Elf/cat and Death Haunt the wolf, it is good to meet you."
Death H. looked between the two horses and growled under his breath "two black horses? at least Blacknight has a moon shape on her so that I can tell them apart."...in a louder voice he said "so tell me Ebony how has your hunting been recently?"
Elfrida trembled slightly when Ebony touched her mind, but she didn't withdraw...then she said to Ebony in his mind "why is fate cruel? I'm am sought for by Galbatorix because of my brother, who killed our parents when I was young out of his greed." she let anger and slight grief creep into her voice...she shivered as she saw the assassin, and she removed her right hand from her face to reveal blood on her hand, and she said. "I have no doubt about who this is" her eyes showed hate..."by the way" she said "who is your human friend?"

OOC: It's complicated, Orginally he was known as Xaldin, a half breed of an elf and shade. Kuja was the shade part of him, he killed Xaldin in his mind and took control of it. When he did, his appearance changed to what my Picture is of him now. Xaldin had black hair and slightly different features but not much difference. Currently Kuja assumed the form what looks like Xaldin so he couldnt be recognized by most.

ooc: I think I got it figured out.... Elfrida is overly hasty and jumps to conclusions so she thinks he's a human......oops accidentally added an extra out

ooc:lol all our characters seem to be a half-breed of some sort
ic:
Elfrida looked at Felecia and said "Wulfe used magic and a sword to put it there..and even though I'm an excellent spell caster I have not been able to remove it...I am made in such a way that the magic doesn't drain my energy, but if I use to much it will drain the surrounding land of energy..I doubt that I can be free of my scar until Wulfe is killed" when Ebony spoke to her a look of pity came to her eyes, and she said, "I was 5 years of age when Wulfe murdered our parents, he abandoned me when I was 10 because I found out that he was responsible for their deaths..I was found and raised by a Nomadic tribe and a spell caster among them taught me the Ancient language..he was the closest thing I had to a Father"

Death h. howled in excitement and told Ebony that he would beat him to the forest

Blacknight whinnied excitedly when she saw the egg and said to Felena only "How does it feel to be a mother?"

when Felena told Elfrida about Kuja, she felt pity rising in herself she glanced at him, and then back to Felena and said to her and Ebony "love and grief have mingled here. I can feel it" when the egg came Elfrida smiled and said "this will be a mighty creature one day, and you will be proud to call her your hatching, Felena mighty one"

Death h. returned dragging a deer behind him..when he saw that Ebony had gotten 6 he growled to himself "well he's bigger so of course he can get more" he then looked at everyone with interest, and when he saw the egg he said "Are you the father Ebony?"

Elfrida looked at the stars and shuddered.... she felt power seep into her "why must I only have magical abilities?" she wondered "why could I not be powerful with the sword instead? even a child could beat me at sword play..."Blacknight heard her thoughts and said to her "will you ever except your fate?" Elfrida replied "maybe one day I will...but every night with the coming of the stars, I lose more and more of my ability to use any weapon save magic...this has not happened to you Blacknight..you would not understand...my weapon abilities go to Wulfe, while he loses his magic abilities" Blacknight looked into Elfrida's eyes and said "there is no magician save Galbatorix himself that could defeat you...if you get into any sword fights then....."

Elfrida walked towards Kuja and told him "fate lies heavy upon you Kuja, there is much grief that walketh in this land...but I see an orb of joy in the world...your fate will turn you into a mightier person than you would ever think possible..if my heart speaks the truth...there will be times when someone-I will not say who..but someone you have known for a long time-will need you to lead, and to show them a path that they could not walk on there own....there is power in your blood Kuja..do not waste it" Elfrida nodded her head and turned and walked back to the group

Blacknight walked up to Kuja and said "it is not often that Elfrida delves into the secrets of her heart...but when she does the words are those of a pure were-cat..heed them and remember them" Blacknight lowered her head so that her moon shaped star reflected the stars and shone on Kuja. she turned and trotted back to Elfrida's side....

Elfrida watched as Kuja disapeared inside a portal. "I wonder where he's going" she thought "oh well, he was right, it is hard to think here with all thats going on"
Blacknight and Death h. laid down to rest and Elfrida sat down and leaned against Blacknight. She closed her eyes in thought, and drifted into the world of waking dreams....

She stood upon the brink of a cliff, looking at the other side....her parents stood there, but she could not reach them. She spun around as she heard a cold hard laugh "Wulfe" she exclaimed
"It's about time I found you" he said "my master grows impatient with me for not bringing you prisoner long before. Surrender, you cannot hope to defeat me" Elfrida drew her sword and lept at him with fury; but he simply laughed, and flicked his sword-sending hers 20 feet away. Wulfe laughed again and said "A sword in your hand is as a sword in the hand of a 6 year old human child, and thanks to you I am the strongest swordsman alive-while thanks to me you are the greatest magician" she glared at him and said " Then I will defeat you another way" she prepared to release a fatal spell Wulfe then said "Your magic is nothing against the wards around me. submit peacfully, sister-and remember it's thanks to me you are the greatest magician" When he said those words she released the magic in anger-but true to his words, it was no good against the wards...to her surprise the wards bounced them back at her and she was unable to block them...she lay bleeding on the ground as Wulfe aproached her

Elfrida awoke with a start, and felt herself trembling vionently, she tried to stand, but she collapsed. She felt the scar on her face open and start bleeding; and suddenly she felt pain. Pain that stole her body and took over..."Where's it coming from?" she wondered...her scar felt like it had been branded with a hot iron...slowly her pain died away. Blacknight-who was standing at this point-lowered her neck for Elfrida to grab..when she was standing she finally stopped trembling
Blacknight looked and saw nothing but pain, hate, and fear in Elfrida's face, and she knew what had happened..."dearheart, maybe it was just a dream....take courage, for with me at your side youcannot fail"
are you sure?" asked Elfrida.. Blacknight answered the affirmitive

Death Haunt got up, stretched, and walked over to Ebony and said "tell me, do you understand the two-legs?

ooc: her vision was able to be heard....

Elfrida's legs were still weak when Kuja reappeared- and the look of fear, hate, and pain had not yet left her. She walked weakly over to Kuja and apologized: "I am sorry that I mistook you for a human, I was over hasty. I should have known that no human could have such a strange fate as yours." she turned and walked back towards Blacknight then turned around and said "By the way, Death H. wanted to kill you earlier."

The wolf strode over with an embarrassed look and said "sorry....if I had known that you were friends with the great Ebony and his rider then I wouldn't have thought of it, because I would be afraid to face their wrath. By the way I think you like Felecia" the wolf grinned a wolfish grin and said "all the animals feel it including the one who is part Were-Cat....she just wouldn't say it to your face."

Blacknight looked worriedly at Elfrida who told her to go talk to Midnight as she had rarely met any others of her race. she finally obeyed and asked Midnight his history-and to her surprise she found herself not worrying anymore.

Death said to Ebony "I will try to keep your advice, and I'm glad the only two-legs you understand is Felecia, because I still don't understand Elfrida"

Blacknight looked with pity at Midnight, and asked "did you love your family? and what was it like growing up in a herd with a mother? I don't have such a big history as you, but I can say that I have been in a lot of adventures....I was raised from the day of my birth by Elfrida, so I've never known any of my family." when Midnight told her that she could watch she hastily nodded in agreement and then focused on the approaching horses. She had never seen so many horses, so she stood shyly several feet behind Midnight.

Elfrida shook away her fear, hate, and pain, and replaced them with a smile. "Your emotions surround you like light Felecia, by the way nice wings. although it looks as if they have brought you pain."

Elfrida thought for a moment and said, "I never thought about it before, but maybe it is....the exchange of abilities didn't start until after he gave me the scar...." Elfrida turned away and looked in the direction of the horses and said to Felecia "have you ever felt such a deep hate that it is as much a part of you as a finger? is there somebody that drives you to such anger that you never stop thinking of their crime?" Elfrida turned back and looked into Felecia's eyes and said "of all the things I have learned in my life time, there is one that I should tell you. it is something that I'm sure you already know. it is this: There is no life dearer than, the one that is already lost.....guard those whom you love, or else hate will start to take you over."

Death said "Elfrida is like that too, unless she is in cat form. even then it's rare that she eats it." looked at the assassin and growled "you should know never to attack a group with a Dragon in it...you should at least bring companions." he suddenly thought of something and said to Ebony "there may be more assassins around here somewhere, watching and waiting for us to ignore the two-legs..we had better keep close by."

Blacknight laid her ears flat back on her skull when Blane spoke, she reared and then went behind Midnight. she was surprised but did not let it show... when Felena came and stopped the fight she was relived...."thank you" she said to Felena. she followed Midnight, towards the meeting place, all the while looking in interest at his herd...she truthfully told him, "I have never seen this many horses in my life time....you were only the 5th one that I met, and the others all served evil masters. I grew up with Elfrida and Death Haunt although he is younger than me by a year or two. Elfrida found my mother giving birth to me in the desert, and she took me with her when my mother died giving birth to me, her name was Adurna. I never knew my father, as my mother left the herd to give birth to me. there were no horses in our village, and the first I met was an ordinary horse that Elfrida's blood-brother rode...." she added in slight embarrassment "I have only seen black horses, and I did not know that there are other colors...well I am only 5 so I still have plenty of time to learn!"

Elfrida glanced over to where the assassin was and said "how many assassins has Galbatorix sent? if that man was in a group then we should watch our backs."

ooc: I'm still laughing at the bit him on the nose thing...we had a pony that bit her younger sister on the nose.....and her older half bro too

here's a picture of what Blacknight looks like only, with a star

Elfrida looked with disdain at the assassin that Ebony had just killed. "don't they know that it is futile to be alone?" she wondered. She closed her eyes and stretched out her mind. She found the presence of more assassins, but there was another presence there as well..she could not identify what it was. She opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the unidentified presence, but she could see nothing as a thick fog lay in that direction. Unease crept over her, and it seemed that whispering voices came from the fog...

Death h. walked over to the dead assassin, and sniffed his body. "he smells like blood that's not his own" stated Death. "I wonder what's going on"

Blacknight's eyes widened and her nostrils flared when Midnight told her that there were more colors....and she told him "Elfrida treats me like I am wiser then she..she hates using bridles on any horse...and my saddle is simply a blanket with a girth and stirrups that can hold supplies. She told me that when I grew old enough I could leave, but she is to kind to me for me to abandon her. besides she needs my protection. I agree with you, no horse should be a slave." When they reached the oasis and Midnight introduced Raven she respectfully lowered her head, and brought it back up again. She looked curiously at him, especially his color, then she looked at the fillies, she nickered to Leira and touched her nose, also adding in her mind "Midnight seems to be a good stallion, and I think that you will have a good life in his herd. She was delighted when they turned back towards the group....she had enjoyed herself, but she couldn't get rid of the feeling of worry creeping into her.

Ebony's body kept flashing between black and red. His muscles spasmed from clenching the ground so hard,"If my scales turn completely red, run. Including you Felecia." he said, his voice strained.

Midnight kept a steady pace back to the group.

Felecia streched her mind and felt about twenty....things nearby. She asked Ebony what they are called,"The abominations are called the Naza." he said. Out loud,"These things are called the Naza, that's Ebony told me." she said. She looked for Kuja again, she found him behind a huge rock,"Kuja, get your butt over here. The Naza can and will kill you. They are a mix of Ra'zac, dragon blood, dwarf, elf, dark elf, and human, so they are very strong. There are twenty of them not to far away." she said to him.

Felena looked over at Leira,"Can you gallop?" she asked, Leira nodded her head. Felena gave the order and they were off again.

Blacknight put all she had into her legs and ran faster than she thought possible "Elfrida" she screamed in her mind she flattened her ears until they were laying flat on her skull, she stretched her neck out and ran faster..she felt almost as if she were flying, but to her it was still to slow.

Death growled and said to Ebony "not one of those creatures will leave here alive, I vow it" he bounded towards one of the Naza and jumped to grab it by it's throat.....

Elfrida paled slightly as she saw Felecia kill the snake at her ankle. "I was an inch within death" she thought.... she was relived when Kuja came back because of the increase in strength. She drew her sword and sliced it at the nearest Naza, but it dodged and struck her sword with such force that, both her's and the Naza's swords broke. Elfrida stepped back and began to draw on magic, "deyja" she commanded while pointing at the Naza....she felt the magic break on it's wards, it did not surprise her as Galbatorix would be sure to guard his most foul beast with spells.. the Naza laughed at her and said (ooc: I'm assuming they can talk right?) "Your magic is useless against our wards. submit peacefully and no harm will come to you or you companions. My master has waited to long for you, come without further fight, or suffer the consequences." she looked the creature in the eye and wove a spell in her head, she pointed her finger at the creature but said nothing. it flew backwards ten feet into the fog and landed on it's back. "That is how I answer you" Elfrida stated, and picked up her sword hilt, using magic to repair the blade.

OOC:Pegasus Wings? Now your just letting your imagination run wild. lol

The Naza slammed into Kuja, tackling him into the ground. In its fury it began hiting and stratching widly at Kuja. He recieved many blows from its rampage. Finally it lifted kujs up and chucked him at the giant rock. Kuja bounced off it while breaking some bones in the process.

Kuja slowly got to his feet. Blood seeped from his face and forehead. The blood blinded his right eye. Kuja's right arm and several ribs were broken. Breathing heavily, Kuja lifted up his sword with his left arm.

The Naza quickly charged again and slammed him against the rock holding him there. Out of no where the Naza took a giant bite into Kuja's neck. It injected him with something. Before the Naza could finished, Kuja managed to raise his sword and stab the Naza's skull. Damn it's thick...
the Naza's eyes rolled upward and fell over.
Kuja fell to his knees heavily breathing. He tried to heal himself but nothing happened. "W-what...what the is this?"
Kuja looked around, he saw a small boulder at a distance. He casted a fireball and destroyed it. "I can still cast magic...but why am I not able to heal myself?" Kuja thought for a moment. Then he remembered when he was biten, something felt like was put into his blood. "Dammit...it must prevent healing by magic in any ways. No wonder these things managed anything everytime."
That fact wasnt good for Kuja, he would be vulnerable for weeks before he was completely healed.

Kuja heard a noise behind him. The Naza he thought was dead came up from behind and slashed him across the back. Kuja yelled out in agony. A huge gash appeared from his shoulder down to his back-waist area. Kuja fell forward on his stomach. His vision was becoming blurry from the dramatic blood loss.
The Naza approached behind him. Still consious, Kuja slight turned to his side and raised his left arm towards the Naza. He casted with as much energy he could muster and fired at the Naza's head. It's head exploded open, then its body toppled over.

Kuja fell back on his stomach. Then all went dark.

Ebony entered Felecia's mind,"Kuja is hurt, go help him. We have plenty of energy." he said. Felecia nodded and took off for the rock, she ran around it. The sight that met her wasn't a pleasant one, Kuja was on the ground, a nasty wound on his back. She darted to his side,"Kuja...you should of listened to Ebony." she muttered. Felecia placed a hand on his back,"Waise hiell." she said, but nothing happened. She saw the injection spot on his neck,"They injected him with something so nobody can heal him." she said. Felecia reached toward Kuja's mind, but was met with powerful barriers.
Jeez, even when he's unconscious he protects himself. He could be doing it subconsciously too. she thought.
Felecia pounded on them and finally broke them, she entered his mind,"Kuja! Can you hear me?!" she shouted. Outside of their minds, a Naza was sneaking up on them, intending to kill them.

Suddenly a white wolf leaped in front of them, it was Ella. She snarled at the Naza,"Beat it." she said. The creature laughed,"Do you really think you can get me to back off that easily?" it asked, and laughed. Ella opened her mouth and lightning shot out of it, hitting the the Naza ad making him go flying twelve yards away. She circled around Kuja and Felecia, fending off the Naza until they woke up.

Zeke landed next to Ebony,"Need some help Eb?" he asked, and grinned.

Ebony glanced at Zeke,"You always have a jest, no matter how small, don't you?" he said, and chuckled. Then to Elfrida,"We need to repeat it three times. Whenever your ready." he said.

OOC:Morwen, if you want to say something like,"Elfrida and Ebony chanted the spell three times in unison" I'll let you gm Ebony for it, but let me think up of what will happen to the Naza after we cast the spell, I have an idea, but it's still forming in my mind.

IC:
Midnight looked up and spotted a Lethrblaka flying toward the group.
Felena... he thought.

Felena awkwardly (with the egg in her arms) walked over to Elfrida and touched her shoulder with her snout, letting her energy flow unchecked into the energy ball. Felena stemmed the flow with just enough energy to stay alive, she landed heavily on the ground, careful to avoid crushing the egg, and passed out.

Leira watched in front of her for a group of people, and soon she did see them. She pushed the herd even more, and four minutes later, they were there. Leira neighed shrilly and the herd stopped, she whinnied and Blane came up to the front,"You come with me." she said, he nodded, not really wanting to argue with her,"Everybody else, stay here." she said, saying the last two words more firmly. Leira and Blane trotted towards the group, not knowing the danger that they were getting into.

OOC:Whoa, my posts just get longer and longer.lol
