Heat that Kills }{ Open for anyone

[Twichey]

[navy]"Those two are going to be a bit hard headed" Twichey thought. "Its no doubt that their could be confrontation in the future." Twichey had began to trail a bit behind as they increased there pace. "Perfect" Twichey thought. "They are talking to one another, as i knew they would." He kept and ignorant look on his face occasionally looking around to give the final touch of stupidity.

As he listened to bits and pieces of there conversation, Amrod looked back at him with a smile upon his face. "Now theirs something I didn't see coming". He mumbled. What he herd next threw him off quite a bit. "half daemon half witch?" Twichey then lost focus and tripped over a rock protruding from the sand.

Catching a mouth full of sand he quickly recovered himself spit out a few grains of the hot gritty sand and hurried back to catch up to them. "hope they didn't see that" Twichey thought to himself. Last thing i need is for them too think I'm a clutz. He had missed the end of the conversation due to the spill he took. "dammit" He murmured. He ran up to the two and matched there pace. "I'm fast but you two are gonna kill me. I've still got small legs you know?" [/navy]

[perfectmistake]

She is...genuinely afraid.

Of course she is afraid, she has an elf who just utterly destroyed one of her family's henchmen, probably one of the better ones that was sent to kill her, holding his sword as if he were going to wield it against her.

Well, I figure she was a little bit more dangerous than this.

I'm fast but you two are gonna kill me. I've got small legs you know?

With the speed of the intrusion Amrod let his hand slip off the bastard sword, his right arm blade instantly apperaring right underneath Twichey's chin. As Amrod saw the surprised look on Twichey's face and realized who it was, he slwoly retracted the blade. Glaring at Twichey.

Did you not learn to tell me you are there after the last time I almost accidently killed you?

Amrod quickly turned to Raine, Stay.

Hmmm...begging, that is a new low for you. How does that feel?

Ignoring the crystals sudden outburst, Amrod continued looking at Raine. Watching her back up slowly.

Anything that your family sends your to kill you, I am pretty sure, Amrod glances over at Twichey and then back at Raine, that...we...will be able to handle it. All of us together.

You just openly consented to being part of a group, I feel sorry for them.

Shut up! I swear to god, I will kill you, as soon as I find out how.

Amrod continues at the same pace, not looking back to see if either Raine or Twichey were following behind him.

[laraine]

Raine was shocked to say the least. But after the shock wore off she smiled and ran after Amrod, catching up with him and meeting his pace. She smiled to him as they walked.

"Thanks." she said.

He's the first one besides him to accept me and not turn me away. I'm so glad.

She turned around to Twitchey and waved. "C'mon lets go to the next town."

[perfectmistake]

C'mon let's go to the next town

Amrod stared at Raine far longer than he normally would.

Why did she thank me?

Maybe she see's into your little crush more than you do. Considering you just offered to kill yourself if need be to keep her safe. For someone who would rather be alone you are making quite an effort to keep her around.

You told me she was useful. That is the only reason I keep making her come back. She means nothing to me. Nothing!

So tell me, what would you do if another demon were to attack her right now?

Kill it.

And a group of 10?

Kill them.

What about a group of 100 plus?

Kill them.

Point proven, you cannot say that you are doing all that, simply because I told you something. I mean, you are the one who threatened to kill me as soon as you found a way, which is a sad sad sad little mistake. You have yourself a crush. And it is clouding every emotion you have. Along with clouding your sense of fighting.

What are you talking about?

Were you not clouded with misguided love, you would have noticed the group of demon's running your way miles ago!

Amrod looked up and saw a band of demon's 20 possibly more, running towards them, just coming up over the ridge 10 kilometers away from them.

He shot a look at the crystal, silently cursing himself for being so ignorant.

Looking from Raine to Twichey he decided to take action, since he was probably the only one who could see them, at least as far as he knew. He suddenly halted in mid-step.

Raine! It seems you have quite a fan club. Stand behind Twichey and I, stay far enough away but within range to be helpful. Twichey, stand by me. We have demon's incoming, fast. And as much as I don't care, losing Raine may bode bad for all of us.

But you do care.

SHUT UP! Amrod quickly screamed. I mean, shut up! One of these days I swear...

[laraine]

Leading the group of demons stood a female figure, very similar to Raine's. A woman in her late 20's smirked at the three of them, hideous demons surrounding her. Her long pink hair gave her identity away, but her red eyes were blinded by hatred.

"What business do you men have with the Risk tribes affairs?" The woman demanded.

Raine frowned and glared at the woman. "Aunt Raven.."

Raven glared harshly at Raine. "Well if it isnt that filthy half breed. Looks like you have new toys, I wonder if they will break as easily as that other one.."

Raine's eyes widen and she felt anger course through her.

Raven's red eyes met Amrod's and Twitchey's eyes. "If either of you value your lives give us the half breed now. She will only bring you destruction. She must die at all costs. However, if you refuse.." Dark energy wrapped around her arms, forming into a vortex of black energy.

"You both will die."

[perfectmistake]

Amrod started to laugh maniacally. This is your aunt Amrod sneered at Raine, and what is that, a slight refraction of light? I pity your attempt to scare us.

You might want to calm down and size her up. She seems to know what she is doing and how she is doing it. That is more than I can say about some people.

So now you are trying to tell me that I don't know how to control the power I have had for years on end? You are sadly mistaken about THAT one.

Amrod let anger control his entire body. His body becoming engulfed in darkness. All that could be seen was his form, completely covered in darkness. His eyes glowing, immensely.

With a dark voice Amrod stated, To get to the girl, you must pass through me. The Prince of Darkness, and the last thing you are ever going to conciously see.

He grabbed the hilt of his bastard sword and released it, instantly pushing both arm blades out of his cloak.

Why am I compelled to do this? Why are you making me do this?

I am doing nothing to you. This is all of your own accord. No influence from me at all. Lover boy

Do NOT call me that!!!!!

[laraine]

Why is he...doing all of this for me?I didn't even think Amrod could stand me...But yet, he really is protecting me...But I cant let him and Twitchey fight alone...

Raine grasped her wand and instantly it transformed into a crystal sword. She held it before her as Aunt Raven and the swarms of demons attacked them. Raine still stood behind Amrod and Twitchey, but she would fight as well.

"Amrod! I'm going to fight to! Despite how I look I am okay at fighting, after all its how I have survived all of this time." She smiled. "Besides, I feel responsible for getting you two mixed up in this. I'll help you both and promise not to get in the way."

[perfectmistake]

Amrod glanced at Raine. Gauged how far away from the fight she was standing and how quickly someone could get to her. Once he positioned himself to keep her safe for anything up to 10 seconds, he turned and faced Raven again.

Amrod lunged at Raven swinging his bastard sword and arm blades rythmically. He swings and connects above Raven's right shoulder with his left arm blade. Slicing through her shoulder, watching the blood slowly ooze and start to congeal. Amrod continued swinging, rage taking over him. The darkness beginning to rise off of his skin.

Right, 37 degrees behind.

BURZUM! Amrod turned and nullified a fireball that was 2 feet away from Raine's face. He turned back to attack Raven, but to his dismay she was not there.

Amrod swung and slew 4 demons. Turning to his right he saw Twichey engaged with 2 demons of his own. Looking behind he saw Raine, holding her wand at the ready.

Looking over the head's of the demon's he saw Raven's blood red eyes, and the gash across her shoulder. Standing, staring at him, blood thirsty, yet wary to attack.

Amrod stood and stared straight into Raven's eyes. Attacking the demon's that attempted to make use of his "distraction." His breathing as calm as the wind through a tranquil forest, or even over the most still of any body of water. Closing his eyes, he started to mutter the words of death. His senses enhanced, continuing to attack demon after demon yet focusing all his energy onto Raven.

[Twichey]

[navy]Twichey swalowed hard with a 'gulp'. His addams apple skimming the cool steal of the hand blade. "Last time was an axcident? i thought you wear trying to kill me off.'
"heed probly like to" Twichey thought to himself.
He would remember not to let that hapen again. But whoes fault is it that he cant see me thats what im good at, not being seen. He caught up to the two and remained silent for teh time.

Somthing was coming... somthing big or alot of somthing. But what? His mind was ablaize with a sens of danger.

"Raine! It seems you have quite a fan club. Stand behind Twichey and I, stay far enough away but within range to be helpful. Twichey, stand by me. We have demon's incoming, fast."

"nuts" Twichey said. He drew his two Knuckle blades and dashed infront of Raine. "Lets do this Amrod."

The two deamons that confronted Twichey were very hideus and desgusting... "Iv seen worse than you bunch of ugly mugs. "[/navy]
I will post the battle latter its late and im about out of it lol -

[laraine]

Raine watched as the two before her fought the large amount of demons before them. Raven hissed at Amrod's attacks, especially when her shoulder was wounded from his blades. Still, Raven continued her assault, launching large amounts of dark energy towards Amrod.

Raine held out her crystal sword before her, ready for any attack, she blinked when Amrod deflected a fire ball from getting near her and she smiled lightly at this. "Thanks again Amrod!"

I really should find some way to thank him, for everything he's done for me.

Her thoughts were halted as a shadow loomed from behind her. She internally cursed and turned to see some demons ready to destroy her.

"Well, at least now I can show my skills." Raine threw herself foreword, dodging the attacks of the demons. Her sword impaling one of them. She quickly pulled the sword out to parry with another demon. Its claws digging into the crystal that formed her sword. She grit her teeth, trying to find a way to get away from the beast so it wouldnt hurt her. Its strength was massive and she was having trouble keeping her footing in the gritty sand.

She planted one foot firmly behind her, the other bent to ease the pressure on her body. She glared up and the monster, watching its eyes carefully for any sudden movements. When it made its move, she jumped back and once again was fighting the demon blow after blow. It caught a lucky break and slashed Raine on her arm. She bit back a cry and continued to fight.

I wont die...I wont die.. I promised I wouldn't die...

But Raine was having some trouble keeping focus on the fight, dehydration was kicking in from almost no water the entire day. As much as she wanted to fight at her strongest, her body was giving out.

Not good, gotta think Raine..I'll have to use some demonic magic..its the only way..I just...really hate using it.

Raine's sword transformed back into a wand and she jumped away from the demon, holding her arm before her. She called forth the powers of the demons. Red energy spilled from her palm, forming a orb of energy the size of her palm. She released the power and it flew straight through the demon, a small hole burned through its body. It fell to the ground.

But Raine had no more time to relax, more demons were coming. She held her injured arm and glared at those demons as the others fought to protect her.

[perfectmistake]

Amrod felt a huge energy from behind him. Swinging his sword in a wide arc he turned around, just in time to see Raine blow a hole through one of her attacking demons. Then he saw her look to him and Twichey and glare at the demons attacking them.

Turning around quickly Amrod saw the demons staring back at Raine. Hunger embedded in their eyes. Amrod waiting for one of them to make a wrong move. The demon to his farthest left took a step towards him, that was the move he was waiting for. Leaping forward, he plunged both arm blades into the throats of two of the nearest demons. Pulled his left arm out and swung the bastard sword, beheading 2 more demons. Leaving just him and the demon that moved. Amrod threw his sword into the air, the demon glanced up and Amrod grabbed him. Amrod swung him around, faced him towards Raine and lifted him off the ground. The blade of his bastard sword dropped directly into the middle of the demons head, leaving his body between his legs. Amrod dropped him and pulled his sword out slowly, glaring at Raven.

That was...impressive, to say the least. But you had to play to her, didn't you?

If he were facing the other way, the anger would not portray the same.

Tell yourself what you must.

Amrod continued looking at Raven, wondering whether she was the one who would run or press an attack even though she was outplayed. By not only him, but Raine and Twichey as well.

[laraine]

Raine watched still holding her injured arm. She blinked when she saw Amrod kill that demon before her eyes, her meeting the cold lifeless eyes of the ruthless demon.

She swallowed and held out her arm once more, energy spilling through her pores, forming a new darker energy. The red blast flew from her fingertips and impaled a nearby demon. She sighed in relief, but nearly collapsed from exhaustion. This had better end soon.

Raven glared at Amrod. " This isn't over." With that she vanished.

[Twichey]

[navy] As the two demons began their attack Twichey's adrenalin kicked in. He confronted the first demon with a leaping kick. Using him as a spring board he fell in front of the demon spinning his body and rotating his blades with him. The action resembling a tornado. His blades cut into the demon's hide like a hot knife through butter.

The next demon dashed toward him. He threw a blade from underneath his cloak hitting the demon just to the left of wear his heart would have benn. This heat was indead a killer he found his vision began to blur for a moment and then returned to normal.

The demon grabbed the blade in his chest and it turned into darkness and was absorbed into his body. He let out what Twichey's best guess was a laugh. It sounded however more like a gurgling.

Looking to the side and seeing Amrods well planed attack, Twichey began to regain a bit of moral. "hell of a move, but watch this." Twichey dashed toward the remaining demon and vanished Mar feet in front of him. The demon anticipating the attack lunged foreword to intercept Twichey but instead stumbled into the open sand as he vanished. Just then two blades appeared from his chest and riped outward, nearly ripping it in to. "Your not the only one who learned a few tricks sens we last met."

The demon he had just slain disintegrated. He saw the blade he had thrown into him laying on the sand. He Picked it up and he was hit by a rush of dark energy.

His eyes opened wide and his heart raced he was completely replenished of his energy. No blurry vision, no weary limbs. It was incredible. He slid the dagger into his sleeve and was notched into place by its holding mechanism.

He looked at Raine clutching her wounded arm. "Do you need help Raine?"[/navy]

[laraine]

Raine blinked as Twitchey asked if she was all right. She released her injured arm and waved slightly towards him. "Ah I'm fine, really. Just a scratch."

Truth be told, she felt terrible but she refused to give that away.

I told them I wouldn't become a burden, ill take care of everything when we get to the next town. Im pretty sure I can make it...

"We should start heading towards the town again, I dunno when those demons will return."

[Twichey]

[navy]"Splendid idea. dont need those things to get word of us anymore than they already have eh? What say you Amrod?" Twichey exlaimed.[/navy]
