Exia roamed the streets for a while but decided to wait at the gate moments later Za Darkenzu's carvan was in sight

Alexander: { wearing a heavy cloak his back against a buildings wall}.......*breathing heavily*.....* dammit...I took more damage then I would of hoped...* { he slides down as he collapses}

Tear did not see any of the gaurds nor the boy that was chasing her so seh slipped over onto the otherside of the wall. She was now inside the castel (that she freaquently broke into). She stayed in the shadows of the wall and edged allong making sure there was no one around.

HHe was getting close to the castle, close enough for one or two guards to hear him "Heyy!! over here!! want something to do?! pursue me!!!"

Tear heard the boys voice from beyond the wall. "Oh great he is going to stir up trouble and I'm going to be caught in between it all. -_-" She thought to herself.

"I don't think that will do...." he got to the gates and punched them, making at least one to fall in the ground "Now are you going to pursue me?" he kept walking up ahead

The sound of the Gates hitting the ground startled the Dragon-girl as her targeted deer started and took off into the castle forest, where no one was supposed to hunt but the Royal Family. This isn't good...! she thought to herself as she heard the guard in the forest begin heading toward the disturbance. The problem was that she was standing between the guards and the gates with four royally dead deer. She turned and fled back to her staging area. The moment she got there, she packed the four carcasses into her carrying net. If she didn't escape before someone saw her, all her hard work would be ruined.

"Hey you!!"

Crap....! Jaenelle turned in time the see three guarded coming out of the trees at her. She didn't give them time to really see her as her Line of Force breath weapon nailed the leader in the chest, cratering his breastplate as it took him off his feet and threw him back into the others, whom hastily scrambled for cover from her following Cone of Crystal Shards. I don't have much time! The dragon-girl scrambled to gather the last lines before taking flight, her powerful wings lifting the deer as well as the burdened Dragon-girl flew off toward the front gate. Behind her, flares shot off in warning of a hostile Dragonkin. Bad to worse. Arrows were firing too now, she needed a plan, and as she came to the fallen gates with Laharl standing in front of them, it came to her. She just hoped he was a fast runner. The guards and Dragonkin unit were running for the gates when Jaenelle dropped the four deer inbetween Laharl and the guards as she flew into easy hearing. "Hey! That's the payload! We'll meet up later at the usual place!!" Jaenelle yelled down for both Laharl and the guards to hear as she winged off at top speed.

The three Dragonkin unit soldiers ran off after her as the other guards stopped at Laharl, weapons out. "Kid! You're under arrest for aiding in the poaching of the royal family's deer!" said the leader of the five guards that advanced on Laharl.

((Azure, those guards are yours to do whatever with. Have fun. ))

(Oh yeaaaahhh... And, what is exactly the usual place?)
"Yeah, sure...." He walked to one of the guards "Hey listen here, im just here to have fun y'know, and... You're such a lame thing..." He punched the guard, making him to fall unconcious ".... Let's get him!!" one of the guards said, as he said this the other ones come to attack Laharl, then his sword appears and he slashes them "You're too lame.... Im outta here" His sword dissappeared and he kicked the guards in mid-air to cath impulse, then jumped out of the scene

Tear saw the boy jump away. Not wanting to get seen she crouched down in the shadows and waited patiently for the gaurds to leave.

Exia got more than he bargained when Za Darkenzu's Caravan arrived, he got the last thing he expected this day. the moment he opened the door, a sword peirced him through, Za's infiltration had begun

Once Tear thought the close was clear she began to wonder around a bit. She stumbled upon a boy on the ground. She was far away at first so she could telll anything was wrong. She walked slowly at first over to the boy,but then sped up pace when she saw that blood was starting to pool around the boy. "Was this sthe cause of the boy I had met earlier?"She thought to herself,"The boy from earlier did want a fight really badly it seemed." She nudged the boy carefully. " Hey are you ok?" She asked, "who did this?"

Za's men set any and everything aflame, Exia could only stare as the world around him crumbled and fell, his pulse faded

Tear saw the flames and was startled, when she looked at the boy she was certain he was gone. She shook her head slowly and clinched her fists. She hated to see people die for no reason. Knowing she could do nothing on her own she stood up and began running for some near by woods.

Exia coughed, he knew his time was up, the castle was through. Za had burned everything to ashes, those who made it out were lucky, those such as exia were condemned. soon after Za's caravan, was once again on the move

He was running in some roofs, when he saw the flames in the city "What the-?" he turned around and started jumping until he got to the flames, he was walking around there calmly staring at the flames "is this?.... Cool" he jumped out of the flames and he saw Za, he stared at him and started to run to him

((Ahh.... Right, you don't need to worry about that, Azure. Jaenelle was using him as a decoy anyways... ))

It took a while, but Jaenelle winged back in as flames spread through the city. It meant little to Dragon-girl, however. She cared little for this city. She only had one thing in mind, but first... Jaenelle swooped low as she hovered above Laharl. "Hey, boy! I'm glad to see you're alright. Sorry about using you like that earlier, but I needed someone to divert some of the guard so I could escape and return," she called down to him. She smiled and bowwed her head thankfully. "If we meet again, I'll try and make it up to you!" With that, she winged off to the net of dead deer she dropped earlier. A Line of Force dropped the one guard that remained as she dive down to catch hold and fly off to the east with her prize.

after the incedint, it took less than three hours to clear everybody out, only those dead or dying remained in the city

Jaenelle sat with her Mother as the fires burned out and the city calmed under the veil of death and destruction. "I'm sorry, mom. I know it isn't much but its all I could get for you at the moment," she said as her mother swallows the four deer in moments. Silence reigned for a minute or two. "The city...? It was in flames when I came back. I think someone was attacking the City, but I couldn't leave you to see, as people were approaching with weapons." She nodded. "Yes, that's what you heard back then. I just didn't want to worry you, Mom. I'm sorry. It's probably good now, so I'll get some more food for-" she paused a moment. "Are you sure...? ...Okay, then. I'll rest for a bit."

He sat up suddenly, he felt an immese pain in his neck but he ignoed it, he was happy just to be alive, he opened his mouth as if to exclaim as such but he cut his lip. he moved his tongue to where it was cut, but it got caught on his tooth. He felt his neck, too holes were there. He ran a finger over his tooth. he felt nausious, he tried to check his pulse but couldn't. He was a vampire...

As the guards ran outside to check on the disturbance Xander felt a nearly irresistible urge to start singing. "Hey, think you can get me out of here if I help you out?" "Contrary to what you may think I would not be so ungrateful as to not help you, but why? Won't they be back to let you out?" "People are dying, en masse. I need to be out there." "Ok, so, what's the plan?" A key appeared at the man's feet. "That should open your door, you'll need to get a key from the rack for mine." When Xander was free the two parted ways, Xander wishing the man luck, though he didn't expect to see him again.

Xander's voice provided an eerie backdrop as the city burned. It was his greatest performance yet, probably the best he'd ever give, as it was a song for the dying capitol. Carried by magic it could be heard by the entire city and for miles beyond and miles beyond that, as pure banshee picked up the song and sang it along with him. The song would not subside entirely until the last ember had burned itself out and nothing living, or undead, was left within. Somehow he managed to reach the main gate without getting trampled or worse. And he stood in it's archway, using the structure to amplify his lament.
