The shock was so deep, it seemed to paralyze her. It took everything within her not to shriek his name when she saw him thud so heavily to the ground. In a split second, she was by his side, panicking beyond her normal panicking. She was still trying to resist shrieking as she spoke, heart thrashing against her chest so hard, she felt it might break through.
"Tyleek. .no, no, no. ." She tried to force herself to stop trembling, failing pathetically. She rested a hand, closely to the wound, speaking as she examined the damage. "Yit (Idiot). . I swear on every thing that I am, if you die on me, you'll regret it, Nature Boy." Funny, how even now, in times like this, Cy Ara's deep seated sarcastic attitude rose to the surface. She groaned, realizing how bad the wound was.
As much as she hated it, and she really hated it, Ka would just have to wait a little longer. . .
She moved her hand to Tyleek's face, narrowing her eyes in concern. "Tyleek. . you have to concentrate. I know it'll be hard, but you have to. Remember what I taught you? Clear your head, as much as possible, and focus on the wound. Your healing abilities will make it hurt a little less. . but I need to pull the blade out, ok? You can do this. Focus. ."
Her heart thudded faster, if that was possible, when she gripped the hilt of the sword and placed her hand back on his thigh, beside the wound. She was almost too scared to even try, but she knew the blade had to be removed, less Tyleek lose his leg. Hesitantly, after a moment of letting Tyleek gather his thoughts, she began to pull.

Jia didn't even turn her head as she felt the magician shift under her. She could feel the heat from the flame. Her magic repelled it, making it rebound and strike the magician instead of her. She added to its potency, making it as hot as lava, so it would burn and be a thousand times more painful. Slowly, she turned her head to glare down at him again. I can torture you until you beg me for death. My Rider was quite adept in the practice, and I learned a trick or two. I can cut your limbs off, one by painful one, without having you pass out or dying from blood loss. I can open you up and remove your organs, without having you go into shock. You think hard before you attack me or my friends again, because I will make your death a painfully slow one, every second of it a soul-wrenching agony that will make you beg, plead, and sob for death as a release. she threatened darkly. It was no idle threat either.

- - - - - - - - - -

Tyleek was trying his hardest not to pass out. It became easier to resist the urge to give in to the blanket of darkness once Cy Ara was beside him. He was aware enough to attempt a smile at her scolding.
"Idiot am I? Don't worry, I'm not-" he had to break off as a spasm of pain hit him. He was gasping for breath when it finished, his midnight blue hair damp with sweat. He relaxed marginally at the touch of her hand on his face. He barely heard Cy Ara speaking to him, but he caught the gist of it. He emptied his mind, or tried to, of everything but the pulsating wound in his thigh. It honestly wasn't that hard. He noticed the pain wasn't as bad as before. That was before Cy Ara began pulling on the sword. His muscles flared in protest, shrieking in pain. His mouth opened in a silent snarl/shout as his spine arched from the ground. His eyes closed, screwed shut in an effort to keep the screams of pain within his lungs. He didn't want to distress her any more than she already was. The male Allatik's body spasmed again, making the sword jerk in the wound. He barely managed to swallow the shriek that wanted to tear from his throat. Instead he hissed, the sound low, menacing and pain-filled. His forbearance was running out quickly.
"Ya t'ak!" he spat from between clenched teeth, finding another outlet other than crying out.

OOC: I'm SORRY! T.T It's my internet..which..technically. .isn't my internet. . .
>.>

Cy Ara had been vaguely aware of what Jia was doing with the magician. As she listened, she grew more agitated by the second and had to force control over herself, less she not focus and end up cutting off Tyleek's leg. That would be bad.
She hated how much pain Tyleek was going through. But as much as it pained her to see it, he would've been in even more if she didn't focus and hurry.
Thankfully, the blade slipped out of the wound in Tyleek's leg with ease once it got to the tip and Cy Ara tossed it behind her quickly, immediately focusing all her attention on Tyleek. He'd go into shock if he didn't stay focused, too.
"You still with me Tyleek? I know it hurts. . just keep your energy focused on the wound. ."
She looked around slightly, trying to think quickly. She had no needle and thread, meaning she couldn't sew up the wound. But she could wrap it up.
"I'm going to need your tunic, Tyleek. ."

Tyleek gritted his teeth as Cy Ara continued to remove the blade, forcing his body to remain lax and lucid. He sighed in relief as the metal was finally removed from the wound. He fell back against the sand, closing his eyes.
"I'm...I'm...still with you..." he managed to rasp tiredly. Right now he just wanted to sleep. He forced himself to stay awake. He might not wake up if he let himself go into the darkness. He vaguely heard her ask for his tunic....Why did she need that? Oh, he was injured. He opened his eyes and tried to find Cy Ara. His vision was met with blurry shapes, majorly out of focus. To the point that it gave him a headache if he gazed at anything too long. He grunted as he made himself get up on one elbow. His free hand grasped his tunic at the shoulder. He tried to rip it, so that he could simply slip it off, but his hand wouldn't hold on properly. It felt like his muscles had no power. The arm he was leaning on trembled and abruptly gave out, making him thud back to the ground. The impact jostled his leg, sending bolts of savage pain though him. He groaned in response, simply laying there, panting as if he'd run a marathon.
"I can't...no...energy...." he said tiredly, his eyes slipping closed as he spoke.

- - - - - - - - - -

Jia snapped her jaws shut, her eyes gleaming dangerously. So you do know something. Well then, prepare yourself for some pain. But for now I need you sane and alive. If you try and run, I swear I will make your torture three times worse than I would have before. she threatened, her scales bristling. She stepped away from him, pinning him down with powerful magic as she did, and padded anxiously toward Tyleek and Cy Ara. Can I help at all? she asked worriedly.

She frowned, watching Tyleek, as he attempted to pull off his tunic. When he collapsed back, she shook her head and rested a hand on his stomach.
"Ok, it's all right. I got it. ." A thought occurred to her. She didn't want Tyleek to stress himself out too much. She wished she'd thought of this moments ago.
Snapping her fingers, a flame emitted in her palm. With a little movement of her fingers, the little flame engulfed her hand and clung to her skin, fitting to it like a glove. The fire didn't burn her. Concentrating, Cy Ara took a hold of Tyleek's Tunic and pulled it away from his skin as best as possible, so she wouldn't burn him. From the sleeves down, she burnt a line through the fabric in a 'Y' shape, so she could easily slip the cloth out from underneath Tyleek and tear it into the appropriate piece after wards. The flame faded from her hand.
Once accomplishing that, she lifted Tyleek's leg, cautiously, trying her very hardest not to jostle it around too much, and began wrapping it up carefully as she felt Jia come near.
"I'm not sure Jia. . I don't know. . We need to find Ka, but Tyleek needs a stable setting and someone there to make sure nothing happens. . I'm thinking. . Siberia and Theldor should stay with him, while I go with you in search for Ka. . but. . if something happens and it's out of Siberia and Theldor's control, that would be bad. . . oooh, I don't know what to do. ."

Jia sighed, frustrated. She wanted - no, needed - to find Ka. To know that he was safe and unharmed. But Tyleek needed her right now, so she would stay and help with whatever was needed. Her sensitive ears twitched at minute sounds behind her. Alarm flared in her mind a mere second before she felt two weights abruptly appear on her back. She snapped her wings down and forward so the membrane couldn't be too heavily damaged. She roared when a savage pain erupted in her left wing joint. She snapped her tail over her back, removing the two pesky humans with a swift sweep. They thudded onto the ground and she instantly pinned them down with magic. She turned to her left wing and found a long bladed dagger embedded deep into the joint that connected her wing to her body. She gingerly latched her jaws around the hilt and jerked it out, quickly spitting it from her hold. She flexed her left wing, wincing. She could fly, but it would hurt. She turned on the two drivers, a murderous gleam in her eyes. Alright. You had your chance to behave. No more miss nice dragon. she hissed, leaning toward the one that had stabbed her. She grasped his left arm and deftly twisted it off, pulling it away to reveal the shoulder bone. She idly tossed the arm to the side as if it were the most disinteresting bug in the world. She licked the open wound a few times with her barbed tongue, sealing it with a few swipes. She scowled at all three of them. Anyone else want to try and kill me? she asked pleasantly, a very subtle threat in her voice.

- - - - - - - - - -

Tyleek simply laid there with his eyes gently closed, oblivious to everything going on around him. The pain of his wound didn't even register in his mind anymore. He was too damned tired to care about anything. The pulse beating at his exposed throat was not as visible as before. His heart rate and breathing were slowing gradually.

OOC: I know it's not my turn, but I feel this must be said: OUCH! Please...remind me to never,ever...get on Jia's bad side...my arm hurts now o.o

OOC:
That was kind of the point. Ka has absolutely nothing to worry about. Rathon on the other hand....well, he'd probably be lucky to have any torso left at all once she was done with him.lol

OOC: xD yea probably...but what about me? O.o (Ka and Rath are separate from me)

OOC:
Your safe. Maybe. You created Ka, so that protects you. But you also created Rath....Yes, you, by yourself, are safe.

OOC: You guys are dorks. . . xD But just to, you know, be sure. . .
I'm safe, too, right? xD

IC:
"Jia!" Cy Ara hadn't really been looking in Jia's direction until the attack actually happened. Before she could help any, Jia had all ready taken care of them.
"Jia. .are you all right?" Her voice was calm, but inside she was churning to teach the three a lesson. But as she watched, she found that Jia's wrath was punishment enough. She cringed, a shiver running down her spine as she watched the punishment unfold. She had to look away, surprisingly. Her stomach was doing flips. But when she did look back to Tyleek, she noticed how pale the Allatik was slowly becoming. Her heart skipped a beat and she rested the side of her head against his chest, listening to his heart beat. It was slowing. And so was his breathing. The wound was literally sapping the strength from him. She blurted out a string of curses in the Allatik language before speaking quietly, looking to Jia. By now, the dragoness had finished.
"Jia! We need to think of something fast and get on with it. . Tyleek needs some place warm and stable as soon as possible or he might not make it. . I need supplies because I don't have any healing qualities. . I need to patch him back up. I need to stay with him, back at the room. Take Siberia and Theldor, if he wants to go, with you."At the sound of her name, Siberia's ears perked up and she stepped forward, as if waiting for instruction. "Siberia has a certain ability. . since she's my guardian, she obtained it from me. It allows her to see and sense people's auras. She'll lead you to Ka. . all right?"

He drivers looked at her with fear, having been unsuccessful in their attempt to de-wing Jia. As she got closer, the one she was advancing toward looked ready to pass out. He began begging her, saying he was sorry, saying he would do anything. She she grabbed his arm he doubled his efforts. As soon as she ripped off his arm, he let out a blood curdling scream, that only got louder when she sealed it with her barbed tongue. Tears where streaming down his face as he screamed in pain, while the other driver and magician looked on in white-faced fear. When she asked if anyone else would try, they both shook their head vigorously and in unison replied with" No ma'am." He sat stock still on the ground, staring at her.

Meanwhile, the traders had recieved word that they were to keep Ka alive and to not sell him. They were to bring him to Uru'Baen and give him to the King, alive. The man that had been overseeing Ka's medical check was the one reading the letter. "It says alive....it doesn't say anything about the condition he needs to be in. I say, we take out his hide what we would have made of his head." He crumpled the letter and threw it in a fire. "Take him to room 11-B" He told a pair of very large men. They saluted and left the room. IT was a short walk to Ka's cell. They opened the door to find him sleeping on the ground, covered in filth. He picked him up, which instantly woke him up. "Hey! Who are you!? Where are you taking me!? Hey!" He was too weak to fight back. His muscles had grown smaller and one could see his ribs. He didn't know it, but there was a poison in the food and water they gave him. Not only did it cloud his mind, but it also sapped his strength. They drug him threw the hall and down to an elevator. Tossing him in, they stepped after him and hit a button that said "B". Down they went, and came to an abrupt stop at level B. They picked Ka up again, he had fallen into silence, and drug him to room 11. The door was stained with bloody hand prints and splotches of blood. They opened it to reveal a room that looked like to had jumped out of a nightmare. It every inch of the room was a different torture device. Racks, spiked beds and chairs, a large fire that held hated metal, and some that Ka had no idea what they did. The drug him over to a plain wooden chair that had leather straps at his wrists, head, and ankles. They strapped him in and left him to his thoughts, gruesome as they were.


OOC: I predict...that Jia...is not gonna be too happy when she finds out about this...

OOC:
lol Yes, both of you are safe. So long as you don't piss her off.

IC:
Jia snorted. Good. Now stay put. she growled, and padded over to Cy Ara and Tyleek. She hovered above the two Allatiks, concern flitting across her face. Yes, yes, I'm fine. And no. I'm staying here. Ka is safe for now; I'll know the instant that that changes. Can you pick him up and get him on my back? Then you can sit behind him and hold him in place while I carry those three troublemakers underneath me. glaring at the two drivers and the male magician. The female magician was no where in sight, which worried her a bit, but not much. Once we get back to the room, I'll have you search Tyleek's herb pouch. I have some rudimentary knowledge of herbs and their abilities, so I might be able to help him. she said. She curled up around Tyleek, pressing her warm belly to his cold body. Go tie those three together; my magic is fading quickly. she said, lowering her wing to trap the heat. As Cy Ara was doing that, Jia closed her eyes and reached into herself. In her distressed state, she thought that some of her powers might cooperate with her for a change. She felt something shift within her, and abruptly she could feel Ka as if he stood right beside her. She blazed into his mind, encasing it with a powerful shield to block anyone from interrupting them. Ka! Where are you? Are you okay? What's going on? she asked frantically, trying to talk to him and caress his mind at the same time.

- - - - - - - -

Tyleek was pushing at the darkness, keeping it at bay just enough so it didn't smother him. This heaviness was too much, not like the soothing blanket that had covered him a few moments ago. He felt something warm press against him and instinctively moved toward it. The comforting heat helped him relax, made it easier to keep the darkness away. The warmth made him become conscious again, made him feel the pain stabbing at his thigh. Why did his leg hurt? Oh, he'd jumped in front of the sword to protect Jia. A coughing spell shook him, spraying small droplets of blood across Jia's wing membrane. Wait a minute, why was he under her wing? He looked to the side and say the soft scales of her pale gold underbelly. The source of the heat. He turned on his side and put his back to her stomach, suddenly shivering with cold. Darkness swept back over him again.

OOC:
Definitely not...That sicko man will not be alive for very much longer if Jia gets her claws on him...

OOC: S_V said it was ok if me and you continue without her since her internet isn't stable right now...I'll reply at a later date, no time right now.

OOC:
Okay....Like godmod Cy Ara and Siberia, or....what? Sorry, had a taxing day and my brain is shot.

OOC: We're gonna say that since Jia can contact Ka now, she can tell a rough location so Cy and Sib go take Tyleek back to the inn whi;e Jia goes after Ka, taking the merchants with her. Sound good?

OOC:
Alright, that plan works with me.

They all shok their heads, but the magician spoke up. "Im s-sorry, b-but none of us can. We have never been inside and there are wards that stop me from probing the place with my mind." He sounded terrified, scared that Jia was going to kill him.

since the man had skin his legs and done other terrible thing to him, Ka was basically one giant raw nerve. Anything that touched him hurt. The man looked at him and then at the other devices in the room. His eyes fell on one that was covered in more vomit than blood. He unstrapped ka from the chair and dragged him over to it. It was a table with a bar over the foot. The bar could be raised or lowered, but it would suspend and spread a persons legs almost straight up in the air. The man trew ka onto the table, and strapped his arms above hos head on the table and his feet in the air and spread. Now his more sensitive areas were open for torture. The man began punching ka between the legs, and after 5 punches ka threw up into his gag. The man removed it, and kept it off so ka wouldnt drown, and went back to punching.

Jia felt ice settle within her heart and veins as she felt Ka slipping away. He was dying. That was it. She snapped. She roared angrily, not even waiting for the doors of the elevator to open. She smashed right through them, sprinting at full speed down the hallway toward her Rider. She was beyond anger, she was beyond rage, she was beyond hatred. All she could feel was the closer that Ka was getting.

OOC:
Sorry for short post, but I have a question; what do you think would be more dramatic-Jia bursting through the door of the torture chamber or digging her way down from the ceiling? I think bursting through the door would scare the daylights out of the man.lol

OOC: hmmm...either one would scare the crap out of me, lol...but I think the door would be more dramatic.

IC:
Screams filled the hallway outside as men dodged Jia. Some succeeded, other were trampled and crushed under her. The man didn't take notice, as screaming was common on this level. He looked over at Ka's face and saw that his eyes were half closed, his face was pale, and he was shaking. "Oh my, now we can't have you dying on us now can we?" He muttered a simple spell and Ka snapped back to reality, feeling all of the pain from his combined wounds floor threw him. He stopped bleeding and enough of his blood was restored so he wouldn't die right now. He man set his knife down and move up to his face with the knife. He forced Ka to open his mouth and he stuck the blade in. Fear was plastered on Ka's face, while an expression of joy was all over the man's. The man jerked sideways and sliced Ka's cheek open. Ka screamed in pain, but it was muffled by the man's hand. "Please...not while i'm so close, it hurts my ears." Once Ka had finished screaming, he stuck the blade in again and prepared to to the same to the other side, when the screaming in the hall got louder and it sounded like there was something large at the door.

The man gasp and tried to block her mental assault, but failed, and his small barrier shattered like glass in a hail storm. He watched as she began chewing on his hand, his voice so hoarse from screaming he couldn't any more. He tried begging her again. "Please! I'm sorry! I'll do anything! Anything you want! Just please stop! There must be something!" He was reaching desperation. He wanted badly to take his own life, but Jia's magic blocked him from his own. Tears streamed down his face as he writhed in the chair, trying to get away from her.

OOC: wow...Jia really doesn't like this guy does she? lol

OOC:
Indeed she doesn't. XD Anybody that so much as sends a nasty look toward her Rider will find themselves in an interesting...pickle.lol

IC:
Jia pulled back, giving the man a brief reprieve from her torture. Why? When you tortured my Rider, you didn't take me into account. I felt every second of his pain. He tried to warn you that I was coming. Why should I give you pardon when you didn't for him? she snapped, her eyes flashing.

OOC: I'll be sure to pass the message along to my other charries...btw, I'm trying to make a dragon, but I'm stuck ... o.o

The man started to respond, but couldn't come up with one. Defeated, he cast his eyes downward, since he couldn't move his head. "Do what you will..." He realized that not only could he not stop her, but what ever she was going to do, he deserved it.

Jia's eyes narrowed a tiny bit, but she nodded her head respectfully toward him. At least you have some ounce of honor. she growled reluctantly. She roved her eyes around the room curiously, recognizing some devices from Ka's description, others completely strange. She trained her gaze on him again, her expression hardening. What does that do? she asked, flicking her tail toward a device in the corner.

OOC:
You decide what device she pointed out. lol Alright, what do you have so far? Pm me about it.

OOC: Actually, nothing xD. I'm trying to figure out a name, once I get a name everything else will be relatively easy.

The man looked to where Jia indicated, and his face drained of what little color it had. He swallowed hard, hoping that she wasn't asking so she could put him in it. "That...that machine is probably the worst in this room. Once the victim is strapped in, the torturer can turn various handles and break the persons joints and bones. Once all bone are broken, spikes can be driven threw the joints. The spikes not only separate the bones further, but the force the bones to heal around the spike, so that they scrape when they are pulled out. The bones remain in their broken positions when the spikes heal the joints, so that the torturer can repeat breaking, stabbing, healing, breaking, stabbing healing, as long as they like. What makes it especially fearful is that it has spells on it to prevent the victim from dying not matter what happens to their body." He shuddered at the thought of being forced into it. He himself had never used it, as he thought it to be too gruesome for anyone, no matter who they were.

The man sighed in releif when she passed by it. He jumped a bit when his head was released. Looking around, he saw the one she asked about. "That was is similar to this chair. The bar can be used to restrain a victims arms and legs, while the cuffs at the other end restrain what ever the bar isn't. It's used, like the chair, for hands on torture." He explained, again hoping that she wasn't going to move him there and continue his torture.

OOc: Woo! 700th post!

OOC:
Very nice. I told you the posts would go by quickly.lol I forgot to ask; what gender of dragon do you intend to have, and what breed?

IC:
Jia eyed the device for a moment longer, then went on. She stopped by the table that Ka had been on, the one with the bar above the foot end. She growled softly, looking at the man from the corner of her eye. And this one? she asked, her tone hard and intensely cold.

OOC: Male...and what do you mean "breed" o.o

The man gulped, knowing that Ka had just been strapped to that device. "It is like the other...but the only difference is that only the victims legs can be bound...it's used for more.." He paused, not wanting to continue, but did anyways. "Hands on torture...." He looked away from her, suddenly guilty for what he had done.

OOC:
Okay...And by breed I mean lightning dragon, like Violeta, Equinox, Hurricane; fire dragon, like Ebony, Lean, and Autarkeia; Truth Seeker/Soul Reader, like Zeke and Jia; ice dragon, water dragon....Or even an earth dragon. I don't think we have one of those yet.lol

IC:
Jia scrutinized the table a bit more, understanding touching her. When you used my Rider for punching practice. she said, and cringed at the memory of the intense, numbing pain in between her hindlegs. She shuddered. Then her expression hardened. She released the man fully, but placed her bulk in between him and the door so he couldn't run. She tossed her head toward the table with the bar. Git. And strap yourself in, unless you can't. she retorted, lowering the bar magically so it was at its lowest. She wasn't so sick as to ask the man to strip, as he'd done with Ka. That wouldn't matter, really. Her claws could pierce right through the thin material and still slice several inches deep into his skin.

OOC: Oh, skill base lol...um, I was thinking about maybe a fire dragon, now that I think about it, a shadow dragon would be cool.

The man jumped when he felt himself being released. For one, single fleeting moment, he thought that she was giving him mercy. And then, the moment was gone, as she told him to strap himself in. He looked at his sliced feet, and wondered if he could walk. He stood, keeping his weight on his heels, and slowly managed to make his way to the table. Leaning on it's side, he looked back at her pleadingly. "Do I really have to...I am truly sorry for what I did to your rider..." He tried again to plead with her, and realized too late that her patience maybe be running out with him.

OOC:
Hmm, shadow dragon eh? How about Koale (pronounced coal)?

IC:
Sorry or not, you need to understand exactly what pain you inflicted on him. she snapped, peeling back her lips to bare her fangs and snarl at him with the force of a mini avalanche.

OOC: hmmm, not bad. How does Luxian sound?

The man shuddered, but had known that it was futile. He lifted himself onto the table and trapped his legs in, tears brimming in his eyes as he did. By the time he strapped both hands down he was sobbing quietly. He lay there, waiting for her to begin.

OOC:
Good...how about Naixul? Or Elaok? Strange, but unique.

IC:
Jia hesitated. Had she done enough? She looked back at Ka from the corner of her eye, remembering what the magician had said. He wouldn't be able to walk until he found a better magic user or his legs healed on their own. Her resolve hardened. She focused on the man with an edge in her gaze, eying him up and down. My friend over here said my Rider wouldn't be able to walk for several days, perhaps a few weeks even, thanks to your skinning. she said idly, her tone light, even conversational. With a deft flash of her claw the leg of his trousers was slashed in half, revealing the full length of his leg. Her tongue came out and swiped absently, drawing slowly from his hip all the way up to his ankle, neatly skinning his leg down to the muscle. If she licked again, his very muscle would be removed, but she didn't want to do that just yet.

OOC: both interesting...I just wish he would talk to me, and tell me what is name was already xP

The man shuddered when Jia told him the extent of what he had done. He started to say something, but the words caught in his throat as he felt his skin being torn from his legs. He lay there, unable to breath or make sound from the pain. After a moment, he began jerking his legs, trying to get out of the device, still unable to speak. All the noise of the man moving woke up Ka. "Hm? What's going on?" He asked sleepily. He looked around Jia, and instantly woke up. "Jia! What in Voltran's name are you doing?!" Voltran was one of the reaper gods, the god of hell. The man took no notice to Ka, all he knew was his leg.

OOC:
If you know what he looks like (as in color, size, spikes, tail barb/tail spike, stuff like that), his personality, any special abilities (or not), and perhaps a bit of his history, his name will come to you. When I was creating Jia, I had a dream about her. Johdzsia was what Zeke called her. It seemed so natural. And I remembered it when I woke up. No joke, that's honestly true.lol

IC:
Jia almost jumped when she felt Ka shift on her back, then speak. As it was she jerked away from the man like she'd been stung, backing away from him until her tail touched a wall, where she stopped and stood. She wasn't sure if Ka was simply incredulous or he was angry with her. She hung her head almost clear to the floor, her body tense and coiled as if half expecting a blow of reprimand. I'm...I'm...justifying. she said, for lack of a better word. She cringed and crouched low to the ground

OOC: I know most of that...how does Xelin sound?

Ka sighed. "I'm sorry, but that...is a helluva thing to wake up to." He straightened up on her back, causing several things to pop and crack. When he spoke, his tone was soft but reprimanding at the same time. "So you can justify torturing someone just because they do it to someone else? I'm sure you've heard the term 'two wrongs don't make a right' am I right? I'm not saying stop, just that you should consider how you continue carefully. And if your wondering, I'm not mad..." He said the last bit happily, and hugged her around her neck.

Ka could feel her confusion threw their link, and decided to offer some help. "Although two wrongs don't make a right, there is another phrase I've heard among scientists, particularly alchemists. It's called they Law of Equivalent Exchange, something for something of equal value. If you feel that what you have done to this man equals to what he did to me, then stop, but if you still feel the scales are unbalanced, then continue. It's up to you." He hoped he helped, and didn't make things more complicated.

OOC: Full Metal Alchemist reference ftw

OOC:
I think I've heard of that too. Not sure where. Nice name btw.

IC:
Jia saw the sense in Ka's statement, and decided that, for this case, she would follow her instincts. Her instincts told her to continue. So she padded forward to the man where he lay on the table, still secured and preoccupied with the pain in his leg. She looked down at him, this time with full sympathy in her eyes. Then she lowered her head to gently brush his chest with her snout. His wounds were healed, to an extend. The damage she had done to his foot and hand were permanent, so the three middle fingers of his hand would always be malformed, his foot would have a scar down the middle and be weaker than the other foot, and he'd be missing three toes. The hole in his forearm sealed and hardly left a scar, but the two swipes of skin from both his legs were too deep. Pale white and slightly raised from the rest of the skin, the scars would cause no lingering pain. But her mercy came with a price, one she thought fitting. While she healed him, she shared with him within his mind the pain he had caused Ka. Though he was caused no actual physical harm, his mind wouldn't know that.

Ka watched, intererested in what she was doing. If had been up to him, he would have left the man. When the left the room, and Jia asked him to destroy it, he refused. imgoing to wait until we are outside, then destroy this whole place. he didnt want anyone to be brought here ever again.

The people dived out o her way as she came threw, so she got to the elevator unmolested. Once there, they went up and even the guards outside paid them no mind. jia, get us well away from here before i destroy it. I dont know how large the area of effect will be. he planed on weakening the earth under and around the structur, but doing so could have unforseen effects for a long ways away, or no effects at all.

As they flew, Ka turned around and raised a hand. Above the site where they just were, a large brown seal. It glowed and then disappeared. A loud boom resounded threw the area and the ground shuddered under them followed by a grounding noise. The area behind them began to be sucked into the ground like a giant drain opened up under it. After a few seconds the whole area disappeared and was seemless, as if it had never been there.

Ka could feel Jia getting tired. They were far enough away now that they could land without fear of the ground being unstable. Jia, you can land and rest now. The ground this far away is fine. He looked at the danfling men below them,who were legitimatly terrified. Ka chuckled a bit and waired for Jia to land.

Ka waited until she had dropped the others off and then began giving Jia some of his strngth. you ok jia? he asked, petting her side.

Ooc: bleh... Short xP

Jia felt her heart warm as Ka pet her side and tried to purr to reassure him, but her panting breaths wouldn't let her. Just a little...out of breath. she gasped, her tremors stilling as he gave her strength.

OOC:
Bleh, I'm short too. >.<

Ka nodded. He figured she would be after carrying five people. He turned in the saddle, both legs hanging to one side and jumped off, forgetting that his legs wouldnt hold his weight. As soon as he hit ground, his legs gave away and he collapsed with an "oof!" he lay there, me tally kicking himself for forgetting. He pushed himself up into a sitting position and looked at his legs. "well this is inconvienient..." he muttered. He thought abour truing to heal himself, but he was still tired to do it properly yet.

Ka leaned back against her when she curcled aroumd him. I know, it had just slipped my mind is all... he said yawning a bit. When Jia posed the question to the three captives, he looked over at them. They all nodded vigorously and bowed to them, for fear of displeasing them, or Jia inparticular. The magician spoke up. "if you would allows us, we would like to leave and return to our homes..." he waited for one of them to answer. Ka remqined silent, as he was still irritqted that they had captured him; less so to the magician than the drivers because he had healed his legs. He left their fate to Jia.
