Legends of Gaia { the children of Eesa} looking for members

[nekoryuuha]

((Sorry. I forgot that you're probably waiting on me))

Estelle nodded to him as she stood. "Yeah. This should be easy enough with the two of us," Estelle replied to him as they walked out of the building. Out of convenience, the Guild building was near the edge of the city as travels tended to stop there first and the way in and out of the city. It didn't take the two long to reach the city limit. "So, Josh. You must be excited to finally be about to take the tes-" She flinched mid word as she had the feeling of passing through a spider web as she walked through the city gate. She might have written it off as nothing... if she hadn't sensed just the barest bit of Mana dispersing away. It wasn't malevolent, but it was definitely odd.

====================================================================================================================================================================

Preparations were moving along as the Twilit Sisters continued their own bussiness. The troops were ready and as the twins left their tent, they found the commander standing there waiting for them. "Yes?"

"You two have no intention of fight with us, do you?"

"Correct. Our orders were to not involve ourselves unless necessary or new orders stated to do so," Lumina replied to him as the Commander nodded and snapped his fingers. A small squad circled them then. "Are you threatening us, Commander...?"

"Well, I have orders too. Not everyone trusts you Twilit sisters. So you are going to fight even if I have to mount you two on spears and launch you at those damned Celestia," said as his men drew weapons.

"I see..." Namine said before the two looked at each other and nodded. "We have no choice but to slay you and take comm-" The Sisters' eyes widened as Estelle 'broke' the detection web their 'spy' put in place. New orders flooding into their minds through their collars "New orders..."

"We must leave now," Lumina finished.

"WAIT!!!" the Commander yelled, but it was too late as Namine dive into the Man's shadow and Lumina leapt high into the Sun, both sisters vanishing without a trace.

( no worries these things happen)
Joshua: hmm?...{ he looks at estelle}...you okay?....{ he shrugs his shoulders} lets get going.. { they walk past the city limits and after walking a few miles they approach the ruins}....wow.....I'm pretty excited now starts our journey { they walk into the ruins}.....allright lets go careful of monsters estelle { he draws both of his swords}....{ both of them are noticed by local monsters almost immediatly}..here they come! { he rushes in and he slices a monster in half and he blocks an oncoming attack and shows swordplay of excellent skill} HAAH! { he slices through a second monster}

---------------------

Geis: you two head on offer to the temple I have to stay at my post here and show lord cherenkov the lay out

Adol: Understood we'll see you over there....

Dogi: Right commander sir

{ they both walk off towards the entrance of the temple}

Adol: { he stops and holds his head} * ....ahhhh...ow whats this feeling*

Dogi:hmmm... Adol you allright

Adol: I'm fine { he keep walking}

Geis: { he opens a map} now then this should be the whole lay out the blue markers is the location of bargonians forces and our camp is right about here { he points to a spot on the map}....unfortunatelly it seems as though bargonia is heading this way as we speak...m'lord you seem to be an excellent strategist and I was wsondering if i can get your hand on forming a counterstrike plan


joshuas appearance:

[Helbaworshipper]

"Febronia." The woman sat down where a chair was placed. "I have my battle doll forces with me to prepare a proper counter strike." He continued, looking over the map with a trained eye. "Since we know where the camp is, we need to be sure to keep them from knowing of the attack." He took out a red pen and began to make a few notes on the map for a strategy. "My forces can keep a link, so we'll focus on using them as a part of any squads that you send."

[nekoryuuha]

Estelle called her staff to hand, spinning it around her as she swatted a smaller creature away from her as she danced away from another attack from a monster, calling a spell the hand even as she did so. Electricity danced across her hand as she blasted an oncoming monster, blowing a hold through it and taking another monster out. "Light!!" A sphere of Magelight sparked into being above them, bathing the area in a bright, cold light. It was enough to make the smaller monsters flee back while the rest backed away momentarily. By then, she already was casting again, a twister of ice barreling into a pair of monsters.

[kai the pkk]

Joshua: hmmm wow I almost forgot how good u were with a staff ...haaaaah....Flicker! { he disappears and he slices through one monster and then is appears and then slices through a second monster and continues this attack and he takes out the ones going for estelle as he clears a path}...Lets break through!

------

Geis: What your saying is....to make an attack before they have a chance too eh?...not a bad plan but are you okay with that...I mean dolls they used to be human correct their lives are at risk here

Adol: { Leaning against the wall} * I can't shake this feeling*

Dogi:....God i'm soo bored!

[AZURE-KITE]

(Sorry guys, my internet was cut)
Paul was just getting to the commander's place when the twilit sisters leaved "Don't worry, i'll handle this..." He said to the commander "Captain Paul, sir" he said smiling with a calmed tone, as he walks in direction to the plane

[Helbaworshipper]

"I understand your concern." Cherenkov spoke, gently putting his pen away. "It's not that we don't know what will happen. I can repair my battle dolls easily, but your numbers are not so easily repaired and replaced. I wish to put down the casualties you'll suffer." He found Febronia staring blankly still, putting a hand to one of hers as she held it. "I'm not saying that they are inhuman, but they are capable of taking more of a beating if we are in need to retreat in any way."

[nekoryuuha]

Estelle chuckled. "Right behind you! Ray!" she called out as she raised her staff. Above them, the orb of Magelight pulsed powerfully as she funneled her power into it to bend it to her will. Even for her her, Light and Dark magics weren't easy since she had no natural affinity from them, something few things and fewer Humans had, but she'd found ways to get around that to some extent. Monsters jumped for her and she smiled knowingly as she slammed the but of her staff down. Beams of Light rained down, hit monsters and avoiding them. "Josh, let-" she paused as she noticed something shot from one of the beams to be lost in the darkness. At least, she thought she saw something. It shot so fast and she lost in the beams in the other beams and darkness. Maybe... a bat or something that was caught in the attack...? "Josh, let's go! she said as the remaining creatures were too busy trying to survive to worry about the two. "This way!" And she took off down the hallway.

===================================================================================================================================================

Down a different hallway, shrouded in darkness, Lumina hit the ground and rolled to her feet from her arrival through Estelle's Ray spell. Her twin, Namine, dove from a shadowy wall to roll to her feet next to her sister. "It's her, Child of Magic," Lumina whispered as they watched the two run.

"She's better then expected. How should we proceed?" Namine asked.

"With care. Get her alone, if possible," Lumina replied as the few surviving monsters started toward them. "After all, she's still..."

"...Only Human..." Namine finished as they stand, exposing their Fey forms to the monsters, whom laid down submissively at their feet.

[kai the pkk]

Joshua: right behind you estelle! { he follows after her and they fight their way through the ruins} HAAAH! { they finally arrive on the 2nd floor of the ruins and it seems quiet and joshua sheathes his blades} phew looks like we made it estelle { he looks around and it is a big open area floor just with pillars all around some broken some still standing and infront of a broken statue is a treasure chest with bracer guild emblem on it} hmm ya think thats what we came here for?

--------

Geis: allright I understand my lord I shall take my leave to rally the soldiers


Dogi: { he looks up at the pillar of mana}...hmmm i'm sick of all this waiting { he starts shadow boxing to keep himself entertained}

Adol: { he looks over to see Geis' arrival}

Geis: allright I'l make this quick the reason we called in Mercenary's like you two is simple we need your help incase any of the forces break through our line of defense I'm entrusting you to protecting Sinclair!

Dogi:....what?

Adol: what do you mean?

Geis: I mean just as I said the mainforce shall head out for a offensive strike but if they break through our line of defense....we won't make it back so I live in your hands to protect this land

Adol:...thats morbid

Geis: I'm afraid our forces may not be enough..the deathchanter leading his forces

Adol: allright understood we shall protect the holy land from bargonia forces...wait Deathchanter?!...he's bargonias Necromancer the one who can control the undead?!

Geis: yes it seems as if chances are slim.let us hope imaginal is with us

Adol: just come back alive

Geis: heh i'll try my best { he walks off to rally the soldiers}

Dogi: oi Adol..whats up

Adol:...Dogi get ready....something is coming

[Helbaworshipper]

Febronia continued holding his hand as Geis left. He sat down beside her and closed his eyes. "You know what to do if any of them get into here, Febronia."

"Kill on sight, Master Cherenkov." She spoke, a smile on his face as she answered. "Is that not the only order you give me everytime?" He nodded and continued to hold her hand.

[nekoryuuha]

Estelle nodded as they walked up to the chest. "Yeah. This is probably it, Josh," she said as she popped the chest open. "Whoa!" A massive, black feline leapt from the chest, nearly knocking over Estelle and Joshua from its size, as it landed and walked to up on of the broken staircases that headed up to the third floor. Estelle would probably have ignored the thing if not for two things. The first was the empty chest. The second was the white necklace on the Feline that bore the Guild's Crest on it. "Crap! Wait!" Estelle said as it turned and took off up the stairway. Estelle was after it in seconds as she charged up the stairs after it and a Powerful, gold & black Barrier Curtain sealed the passage behind her. She pause to look back at it and sighed. "A Twilit Curtain...? Even some of the best Human Mages would be almost powerless to breach such a powerful Fey enchantment." She walked down to it and yelled. "Josh!! If you can hear me, I'll meet you at the other staircase, so don't worry!" She called before heading up. The third floor was a labyrinth and now, she had find the crest and make her way out. Movement made her look to see the cat turning a corner and she gave chase.

[kai the pkk]

Joshua: allright! { he walks off}......now then where can i get my self some hmmm wait where are the stairs again


????: { watching from the shadows} * looks like the twins made their move first but.... I wonder how this willl turn out for them*...

Joshua: { he searches for an alternate route and soon finds a stairwell}

[Helbaworshipper]

The dolls were moving completely as planned. Cherenkov was completely focused on the battle link. He had to make sure that they limited any and all human casualties from this side. Febronia, of course, was already killing a few people. Her eyes had a blank look, using the sword at her side to slice into throats and chop of whatever was necessary to keep any of them from reaching her creator.

[nekoryuuha]

((Sorry. I know you're still kinda waiting on me. My apologies.))

Estelle paused at yet another(or maybe the same) intersection to look around as she momentarily caught her breath. She'd lost track of both time and direction chasing that Feline and now she'd managed to lose it again. On top of this, she'd been separated from her brother Joshua as well. "Jeez... could this day get worse...?" she muttered to herself as she one more cast an Image Reader spell to see which way the damned feline had gotten to. "That way..." And she was off again. Two twists and a turn later had her standing in front of the Very Feline she was searching for. Only this time, it was at a Dead-end. "Nowhere to run no-" She stopped. The White Guild crest pendant, the thing she'd endured all this for, was no longer around the Feline's neck. But wear could it have gone to? It was there in the Image. Estelle looked around and didn't see it in the room. She turned to look back in the hall only to find a pure white, obviously magical, longsword pointed at her throat by a strange figure.

"Go no farther, Human..." said the figure in a soft, emotionless, feminine voice. The figure was completely white and distinctively female, with long white hair and huge eyes that were completely amethyst with no pupil or sclera('whites') to be seen. She didn't need an explanation to know what she was looking at.

"A Light Elemental Fey!? But what are-"

Estelle was cut off as a pitch black, clearly magical blade touched her throat from behind, making the skin flush coldly and go numb from the intensity. It must of been made from pure Dark elemental energy. "That is not for you to know, Child..." came an almost identical voice to the first Fey woman. Estelle turned her head enough to see a Fey standing behind her that was identical to the first woman, but for the completely black coloration. She, however, was using a black Scythe instead of a sword, like the first was.

Great... The two elements that are almost out of Human reach. This also means that Control spells will have minimal effect... Estelle thought to herself as she stood there, caught for the moment. This was quite a mess, But she knew she could do something. She just merely needed to decide what would and wouldn't work.

[kai the pkk]

( no worries i had writers block for a bit its all good)

Joshua: { soon finds him self in a big open area} ummmm...crap i'm lost

????: so then you did come here Joshua... I knew you'd find your way here

Joshua: { he turns around} Who's there

????: you don't rerember me?...well it certaintly has been a long time a long time since your father betrayed the Duke { he draws a sword} I guess I'll refresh your memory

Joshua: { he draws his duel blades}

both: { dissappear and he then clash their blades in a deadlock and as soon as they break away they start clashing as Joshua strikes at the strange man as the strange man comes up from behind joshua and slashes at his back and joshu almost makes a inhuman block}

Joshua: * how'd I do that?* { he pushes the strange man back}

????: wow I will say that block was impressive but where is the black fang I rerember

Joshua: Black fang?....what are you talking about?

????: you really don't rerember? well I guess it doesnt matter two of my associates are allready through with that girl you were with earlier

Joshua: Estelle?!...what'd you do?! if you hurt her { he tightens his grip on his swords} where is my sister

????: oh did I pinch a nerve there the twins probablly allready dealt with her she might even be de- { he barely blocks an attack from Joshua} tch...well you still have that inhuman strength of yours

Joshua: if you hurt Estelle { his eyes seem different} I'll Kill you! { he starts pushing the strange man back as he crashes the man through the wall as he ends up on the same side of the wall as estelle just down the hall}

[Helbaworshipper]

Cherenkov kept his link, Febronia casting what seemed to be a magic circle beneath her. She had always had a good head for magic, he only needed to amplify it to make her a proper battle doll. The air turned into a wind producing sharp darts that hit anywhere that was exposed of her enemy. It was normal for her to battle without hesitation. It was not something that a battle doll could fight.

[nekoryuuha]

The Light Fey turned to look at the disturbance is surprise. There shouldn't be anything strong enough to break these fortified walls here. Estelle started slightly, but couldn't help but smile. It was just the disturbance one could ask for it this situation. The butt of her staff tapped the ground, a violet spell circle forming beneath her the caused both Fey to look back at her and leap away in time to dodge the Lightning sphere that surged to life around her. The Fey sisters were already coming back at her as she ended the Spark wave and narrowly missed being 'cross-slashed' by the two, the Fey attack tearing grooves in the stone floor. A battle against a Fey is a difficult affair, as Fey are not limited to the normal magics cast by Humans and can unleash power Arts and spells without most of the prep time Humans require. How do I fight off two...? Estelle thought to herself as called forth a shield only to have it shatter under the force of two cutter waves of Light and Dark."But... I'm not done Yet!!" She yelled back as the Sisters and Estelle fought.

[kai the pkk]

Joshua: { he dead locks his blades with the mysterious man}...

????: * these eyes theirs no doubt about it this is the black Fang I really have found you Joshua*.... { he starts blocking Joshua's attacks}...

Joshua: raaagggh! { he dissapears and appears out of of the shadows behind the mysterious man} * dark magic? no what is this* { he slashes at the mysterious man knocking him off balance as he rushes at the fey sisters { he clashes with the one with the longer hair his eyes still seem different then how they usually are his eyes resemble that of a predator about to strike it's prey he notices her charging up her magic as he nails her in the gut with the hilt of his blade

?????: { he engages with Joshua in another clash only this time blocks everyone of joshuas attacks with ease}

------------
{ inside the shrine}

Adol: {he cuts down an enemy soldier} dammit Deathchanter led a seperate force to attack the shrine!

Dogi: { energy gathers in his fist} MAXIMUM CANNON { he throws a powerful uppercut as a wave of fires surges around him wiping out several soldiers}

Adol: dammit death chanter is deeper inside... LEts go { he runs off}

DOgi: right behind ya!

[Helbaworshipper]

The last enemy fell to the ground, Febronia returning to Cherenkov. The battle dolls were keeping the human sacrifices to a minimum. A few were dead, but not too many. It was what one called an acceptable amount of loss. "Febronia." She turned to look at him. "Sleep." She felt her head land in his lap, one hand stroking her hair gently. It would be an easy win if they kept this up.

[nekoryuuha]

The Dark fey stumbled back, but caught herself in time to slice down Estelle's next move at the cost that the Light Fey was forced to negate the next effect to stop them from being bound. This was getting out of hand. They looked at each other and nodded, seeming to think the same thing as they vanished there weapons, making Estelle pause. They would have to try again another time. "You pass...child..." the two said together as they sunk into the floor. "...Claim your prize..." the finished as they disappeared completely and a stairway opened in the floor to return to the second floor. Estelle paused to look a moment, before going to her brother's aid.
