Descention

[Atma-Noah]

Elsewhere

A little town began to awake as the dawn broke. Three shamans waited at the gate. someone slowly came into view. The leader of the trio spoke, "That's him, our savior." the man walked resting his sword on his shoulders. He lowers his head and looks at the crystal hanging from his neck so the shamans can't see his eyes when he reach's the town. "You are our savior. You will save us from all the demons." Says the shaman. The man begins to laugh, "I am not your savior I am rapheal and you shall pay for makking such a mistake." Rapheal grabs the crystal and holds it up in the air. "Now begone insects. For I am the one who will bring about the destruction of your evil race." The crystal glows and a light explodes from it, evapourating the town. Rapheal laughs. "Now I must find the gateway and destroy He who thinks He is God." Rapheal walks past the rubble laughing.

Back to the group.

"We do not have the time for such childish antics Ash, I think that your father may be in danger and it is you who wish to find him is it not. Now I know you are very eager to test your strength but the is a tume and a place." Hours past as the three travel up the mountain. When they reach the summit. A run-down house is there all by itself surrounded by trees. "Well this is my home. It may not look like much but it keeps me dry." Duran says. Duran looks at Ash. "Well Ash. The scent should be stronger here. So go and hopefully your father is around here. Kareta and I will follow behind you but first you two may want to eat. There is some food within my house. You can help yourselves to it. I do think that we should go soon." Duran sits on a stump and waits for them to make their decisions.

Ash sniffs the air and he starts to smell his father's scent. He walks ahead of them while they follow him. Then Ash starts to run and that's when he see's it. He saw the man on the picture it was his father. His father was fighting a werewolf just like himself but, his father was beating it. He wondered way the wolf was attacking his father. Then he saw to other wolves run at his father. Ash transformed and ran over to help his father. That's when the real fight began.
OOC:Just go with because I have to go.

[Atma-Noah]

When Duran and Kareta catch up with Ash they see the scene for them selves. The man looks at Ash and grunts then grins and grabs ahold of the werewolfs neck, squezzing the life from it. Soon after it goes limp and the man tosses it towards the others, they scatter whepling.
"So Ash you came to see your dad eh?" The man chuckles.

"Watch out Ash. Something is wrong with him look at his skin it has rotted in places." Duran says calmly. "Oh I see you haven't told them yet Angel of Despair. I am not your father boy. I am but a servent of darkness possessing this body so I could lure you to your deaths. As you can see it has worked but I am a fair demon and will tell you that when a demon possess a person the body becomes an amplifier and increase our power." He snickers and his body begins to twist and transform. Once the transformation is finished. A demon stands, the end of the tail the head of Ash's father is attached, his claws ready to strike. A deomnic voice screams "Hahaha. Now I will kill you all for my master."

Ash stands his fists clenched tears running down his eyes, "How dare you!" he howls. Duran comes up beside him with Zion readied. " Let us defeat this demon together." he says looking from Ash to Kareta.

OOC: Wow, things happen when a girl takes a day or two off. Oh well! Nice job guys.

She follows the two up the mountain, gazing behind her more then a few times. Something is whispering her name just out of sight, someone's eyes on her back. She's imagining it of course, she knows, but it doesn't stop her from looking over her shoulder. She ties back her hair, rubbing her face and hands against the cold. Her breath makes a cloud in the chilly air, her cheeks rosy and her mind wandering. She thinks of dreams and reality that are sometimes the same. She thinks of Duran, and his silence. She thinks of Ash's father, the one they sought.

They reach Duran's house which doesn't look like much, but is enough to keep a person dry. Standing still is foreign to them all, and Ash starts off after his father's scent. A hunger begins to ache in her stomach, but she ignores it. Stepping towards Duran. The words would have come out too, they would have. Sounds erupt from Ash's direction and the two find no time to talk. They start after him, coming upon Ash and his father, a few werewolves retreating back into the forest.

Something hideous becomes of Ash's father, and the transformation changes something in Ash. His father changing, dying before his eyes. His fists clench and his body shakes with anger. Duran steps forward, "Let us defeat this demon together." Ash nods, keeping his eyes locked on the monster. She slips her daggers from their sheath, her body poised for a fight. 'It's been awhile' she thinks to herself, feeling the weight of the blades in her hands, coiling her fingers around the hilt. She grunts her approval, closing her eyes against the world for a moment, maybe two, then "Ash, he ain't your father anymore."

[Zell]

Ash howled as loud as he could. he couldn't take his father being because if his father is dead his mom would be dead too. Ash felt immense anger at the demon. He looked at Duran and said"I can beat him by myself he killed my father so, it's my problem not your's." He jumped at the demon with a furious kick. The demon blocked and grabbed his leg and threw him at the mountin wall. Ash felt pain in his back after that hit. He didn't really have enough room to move around. The mountin kept him from moving around too much. Then the demon picked up Ash and started punching him. Ash kicked off him nd got free and and punched the dmon in the stomach. Then punched the demon in the face. Ash kicked at the demon but, it was and he was kicked in the face and knocked on the ground.

[Atma-Noah]

The demon picks up Ash and throws him back to Katera and Duran. "Haha foolish child you think blind rage can defeat me." The demon screams and runs towards Ash. "You'll be the first wolf." The demon lunges at Ash teeth bared ready to bight. Then he stops. Zion is stuck in it's mouth and Duran stands defending Ash. " It has been a long time since I have fought. I think you should get me back into practice." Duran says without emotion. pushing the demon away he looks at Ash. He is back to his feet ready to run at the demon again. "Ash! Think before you act. It means the difference between life nad death in battle." Duran says coldly. It's almost as if he is trying to teach Ash in the battle.

Kareta jumps in and stabs at the demon legs. Surprisingly enough one of the daggers sticks into it's leg. "How dare you!" It shrieks in pain. Kareta jumps back and runs but is cornered. Duran looks down at Zion. "I guess it's time to show them." He clenches his teeth and the two wings spring into action he flys towards the demon. Zions tip dragging into the ground. The demon looks towards Duran. "Oh! you've shown your true colours finally." The demon laughs and runs towards Duran. At the last second Duran swings the blade upward. Cutting the demons chest open. It falls screaming. "Ash. You finish it off. So your revenge will be fufilled." Duran says somberly. Ash walks up to the demon and says a final good bye to his father and slays it. Kareta walks up and grabs her dagger, Duran wipes Zion off in the grass and Ash Transforms back.

"Now this deed is done." Duran says. What will happen now, they will likely go their seperate ways and I'll be on my own again. Duran wonders walking back to his home. He stops, clenches his fist and his wings go back into his back. " I guess you are wondering who or what I am if you wish I will tell you over lunch." He says looking at the two then turns and walks towards his house.

Jinn wraps his cloak around himself more tightly and trys to shake off some of the cold. The trio seems to have arrived at some sort of shotty cabin, only to encounter some monsterous beast. Jinn in his frail condition and unarmed, couldn't be of much help to them. Not that it matters.... Why should I become involved? Its not my problem as long as I get what I want. Jinn peered at the trio again, the young one had just failed an attempt to attack the beast. Jinn chuckled to himself then remebered how cold he was. He wanted to start a fire, but that would probably give him away and he couldn't fend off against the three of them if they dared attack. He had a decent view of Kareta now, she seems to have a paranoid attitude. Could she see me? Does she realize shes released me? Kareta and the larger man began to move in on the beast. I sense incredable power from the both of them. They should be able to over come the beast. Jinn continue to watch the battle intently..

Somewhere deeper into the woods, there was a small clearing in between trees. Hundreds of dead leaves danced to the wind, around the feet of a man. He stood with his head down, and he was whisling. The man's shaggy, long hair draped over his face. He listened to the sound of rumbling beyond the trees before him, yet he stood only whisling in a calm demeanor.
His own sound echoed throughout the wood, as the noise of rumbling came closer. The werewolves that had been running, from something, were coming through the brush and the umbra. They all stopped when they noticed the man just standing there amoung the leaves.

"Freshh meat!" one of them stated, gaining strength on the thought that there were six of them and only one of him.

They all jumped toward the man, as if flies sensing a fresh pile of dung. He kept whisling. To him, it was moving all too slowly, as if a film was being played in slowmotion. The stranger pulled out a sword from his coat. It looked like a hybrid of a sabre and a katana, a three-foot razer none the less. He slided in between two of them in blinding speed, as the leaves circled the area in a small typhoon. It seemed unreal, a single man in a dance with his sword, full of fluid motions, as the first two went down. Then, one by one, the rest of the werewolves that were first running from something...and then ran into him.

He circled around and hid the sword away again into his regal style coat. The leaves were still revolving around the area, and what seemed to be body parts were starting to fall.

(ooc: please don't get the idea that this is god modding...I just figured no one would care about the extra wolves that ran away

The light slid through the windows and under the door, lighting the small cabin in odd blocks of light, the rest ot the cabin dimly lit. Still feeling something about the footprints she left on her way up the mountain. Few, if any, knew of the things she had to worry about. She stands at the window for a moment. Breathing in the beauty of being far away from anything else, searching the colors of the forest for one that does't belong. As Duran started the meal she takes it upon herself to help. She sets the plates on the table, humming quietly because she feels like it, and to break the silence that was becoming all too natural between the three of them. She's a little wary of Duran, but her opinion of him had hardly changed just because one of his secrets had been revealed. She wishes to know, though, about it all. It seemed like a good place to start.

"So you have wings then?" she says, laughing as she says it. She's glad to be there, however awkward and strange a place it was. Her companions, however odd were still hers. There wasn't much left that she could call by that name. She takes her seat across from Ash and starts to eat as Duran starts to speak.

[Zell]

Ash looked at them he was amazed at how easy Duran that demon. Ash was still in pain from the fight. that demon did some damage to him but, he would be fine. He looked around at everybody but, mainly Duran because, he admired how strong he was."Duran I want to ask you something in private"he said.
OOC:Sorry for the short post have to go to class.

[Atma-Noah]

"Yes I do have wings. I do regret not telling you before but I did not know what you two would think, but I knew I would need them sooner or later. The reason for my acursed wings are because I was once a angel. I made a mistake by extracting vengence upon a murderer myself. As punishment I am cursed to walk this world forever. Tis why one of my wings are that of a demon. After my banishment I was labelled the angel of despair. So that is all I will share. Now that I have I do think it is your time to share." Duran says putting the food on their plates and grabbing his and putting it back away. "I do not need to eat." He says now looking at Kareta and Ash waiting to hear their life stories. Why do I care. They are humans. Is this what is like to have friends. Such an akward feeling but it is pleasent as well. Argh! Human emotions are to complicated Duran thinks sitting in a chair watching. Hearing Ash ask him that Duran looks at Kareta and excuses himself and Ash and they walk out of the house. "What would you like to say Ash?" Duran waits for Ash to answer.

With the beast defeated, rather easily, the trio retreated to the shack. Jinn took this opertunity to advance towards the the cabin, but not before have a look at the beasts carcass. While bending down for a closer observation hears the door beging to open.
In a panic Jinn runs to the other side of the cabin and waits as the boy and the larger man exit the shack.
Maybe I should listen and see whats going on He thinks to himself while peeking into a window to find Kareta's whereabouts. It was pretty dark in there except for random light sliding in from cracks and windows. The air was musty and dry around the cabin, and Jinn didn't care for entering.
They'll probably stay put for awhile Jinn assumes as he sneaks towards a nearby stream to clean up. He slowly worked up the courage to jump into the cold stream, but it felt nice, hell anything felt nice after being in that tomb. He scrub his hair and body and even his cloak, hoping he was far enough from the cabin not to be heard. After he was all cleaned up he just layed there naked in the sun, his only article of clothing the red cloak drying in the trees. He tied his hair back and tried to go to sleep so he could wait for the cover of night fall.

Ash looks at Duran and says"Can you train me to get strong?"I know this sounds weird coming from me but, the way you beat that demon with such ease."I beileve you can help me get if you trained me."I was tought to do all out attacks and I didn't deafet the demon that way but, you deafeted it with skill."This way I ask you."Ash felt strange asking Duran this but, he knew this was only way he could get stronger.Then he said one more thing to Duran "I have to back to my and tell my mom that my dad is dead so, can you please come with me and train me on the way?" Ash turned around thought that Duran would probably never train him.

[Atma-Noah]

" Ash. I cannot train you the only thing that can make you stronger is time I am afraid to say, but I can go with you to your mothers. We should also ask Kareta. We will leave in a couple of days. I will give you time to relax before we leave. That is all I can say to help you Ash, maybe someday I will spar with you when your older." Duran says.

Walking back into his home. He looks at Kareta, "So how do you like the food I know it is not much but it is all I have." placing Zion on his bed. Duran sits down in a chair. Watching Kareta, waiting for her answer.
