    This is a Non-GS related RP that relates to Norse Mythology, Ragnarok ONLINE's story line and maybe some Greek Mythology. Join at your free will. And without any furthure ado, here we go~
    ------------------------------------

    INTRODUCTION
    -------------------------------
    Midgard (Miðgarðr), located somewhere in the middle of Yggdrasil, is surrounded by a world of impassible ocean. The ocean is inhabited by the great sea serpent Jormungand, who is so huge that he encircles the world entirely, grasping his own tail. Midgard became applied to the wall around the world that the gods constructed from the eyebrows of the giant Ymir as a defence against the Jotuns who lived in Jotunheim, west of Mannheim, "the home of men".

    Depicted as an intermediate world between heaven (Asgard) and hell (Niflheim) Midgard it is part of a triad of upper (Heaven), middle (Earth), and lower (Underworld). This land was formed from the flesh and blood of Ymir, his flesh constituting the land and his blood the oceans, and is connected to godly land Asgard by the Bifrost Bridge, guarded by Heimdall. Prophecies tell that all would be lost at the battle of Ragnarök, even so...
    (Taken from Wikipedia as a intro to Norse mythology)

    In this relm full of wonders and mysteries, our story had only just begun.

    "Psh, that wasn't even a challenge." A navy blue haired teen grumbled as she kicked up a cloud of sand. "Now... time to claim my prize!" She exclaimed as she wiped off the sweat that hung on her face. The unforgiving sun shun brightly, reflecting off the petit traveller's goggles. On the corner of the worm-out device, a small engraving could be found. It reads: "Raine".

    The girl quickly dissolved into the sunlight, kicking up another cloud of dust.

    "Really, I hate this world. I do."

      I want to change the world,
      Kaze wo kakenukete nanimo osorezu ni,
      Ima yuuki to egao no kakera daite,
      Change my mind,
      Jounetsu tayasazu ni takanaru mirai e,
      Te wo nobaseba kagayakeru hazu sa,
      It's wonderland...


      Rey sang quietly to himself, lightly strumming on a rugged, worn out guitar. Obsidian was planted on the ground next to him. He felt the arctic winds billow against him. His black jacket ruffled in the harsh breezes.

      Suddenly, the breeze intensified, colder and colder.

      "What the hell is this? ..Fr-Frost giants?" Rey shuddered.

      Instantly, a fistlike boulder of ice was hurled in Rey's direction. Instinctively, he rolled out of the way. The boulder crashed hard on the tundra terrain, causing a gargantuan indent as if a giant punched into the ground.

      "Aah.." Rey groaned, clutching a gash on his left arm caused by a stray ice shard. "SHOW YOURSELF!!!" he roared at the direction of the razorlike winds.

      The winds stopped. Rey smirked. There was a sudden burst of snowy wind. A tall, pale, bearded figure emerged. The figure was at least ten feet tall, and had features that seemed to be chapped and frostbitten. As fragile as he looked, the giant was extremely angry... and naturally, was not about to sit around and play Switzerland all day.

      Resting his hand on his sheath, Rey drew his golden-hiltedsword in a fluent motion, raising it high in the air with one hand. His other hand was clasped in a fist and was vibrating. It started to spark, then smoke. Suddenly, it erupted into a fiery red aura. He ferociously grabbed the hilt of his sword and passed the aura of energy through it, igniting the moonlight-white blade in a wild cyclone of flame.

      "Burn, baby, burn." Rey said, smirking.

        Thane walked through the rocky cave using his arms and legs, as the cave had become extremely steep. He was surprised to find it pretty warm down here, considering how frigid and frosty it was outside. He cut himself a couple of times on sharp stalagmites, but the wounds weren't deep.

        Finally, he reached horizontal ground. What he saw amazed him. A huge waterfall fell from the roof of the cave and into a pool at its base. There was a small island in the middle of the pond. On it he saw what he was looking for. A glittering golden ring; The Andvarinaut. Pulling the cloak he was wearing over his pink hair, Thane walked forward.

        As he approached the small lake an odd trout jumped out, splashing Thane with cold water. "Out of the way Andvari, I'm here to claim the ring as my own." Thane said quietly.
        "As do everyone else" the fish replied, his voise echoing off the walls of the grotto, "But I'm sure you know you won't get it that easily"

              Folcon made his way through the gloomy tunnels, casualy strolling across the cobbled skull paths, stepping from gleaming white skull to gleaming white skull. The skulls never realy bothere him, yet, but after he traveled two or three miles the skulls started to change, there were stil patched of scalp and rotted flesh on them. As he walked further along the tunnel, the skulls contineued to show less signs of decay, untill he came to skulls that were form recent, not even starting to rot yet. A few more yards and he came to the spot that did bother him about the skulls, when they were still alive. Men's heads, sticking out of the ground, begging him for help, food, water, anything. Men burried alive up to the neck and left to die, to decome the future skull cobbles. He stepped more carfuly now, trying to aovid causing the men still alive more pain. After a few moments, the heads stopped and a trench remained, waiting to recieve more people. Folcon grimmaced slightly as he walked along the edge of the trench.

              At last, after another hundred yards or so, he came to the main chamber. Two skull capped guards stoped and briefly searched him before waving him through. He continued along the dirt path, moving up along a spiral staircase that wound around a large pit. He glanced down into the pit and saw the hanging bodies he always saw. Those cursed by his Misstress to undying torment.

              Finnaly, he made it to the top and aproached the throne set up there, and knelt before it. "You summoned me Lady Hel."

              ((How's that for a start.))

                Hel's rotten, yet half beautiful face shimmered at the light of the fire surrounding her side by side. She sighed and slumped on her throne to the point that she might fall of at any moment. Hel closed her eyes to the sound of the suffering beings, humming to the pain and misery she could hear. "You summoned me, Lady Hel." she heard. It was a voice that was not in agony or in pain, but something that had life (or so she would describe). Hel opened one eye and peeked at the man bowing before her. The goddess of the death rose from her royal seat, walked up to the man, and layed her decaying hand on the stranger's head. "Folcon, I have been waiting." She smiled.

                ((XD;;; ))

                  ((don't screw with my character Kitz))

                  Folcon kept his head down and gaze averted as Hel placed her fleshless hand upon his head and felt the fingers dig into his scalp pulling his head up. "Folcon," she said. "I have been waiting."

                  Folcon brought his head up and looked his mistress in the face, but not in the eye, no mortal looked the goddes of the dead in the eye and lived, long. But he was one of the few that could look her in the face and not be paralized by a combination of lust at her beauty, and fear and her hidious dead features, as long as he did not look her in the eye. This is what made him her best servant, for although he had lost fear of what she represented and the realm she dweled in, he was not completly afraid of her. His only fear was looking in her eyes and falling under her spell, like he had the first time he had been brought here, centuries ago, and was seduced into her bed. At the thought, the memory came unwanted to his mind, leaving him feeling sick.

                  Still without looking her in the eye, Folcon asked, "What will you have of me, my lady?"

                  "Come now Folcon, why so formal all the time. Relax, and join me in my bed this evening."

                  "To be honest my Lady, I would sooner face Zues's wrath, than bed you," Folcon said, without even flinching at Hel's reaction.

                  "You ungratful wretch," she yelled, spitttel and rotten flesh flecking aginst Folcon's face. "How dare you insult me in my domain," she said, even louder than before as she slapped him across the face with her dead head.

                  Keeping his compuser calm, Folcon mearly asked, "Why have you summoned me, my Lady?"

                  "I have summoned you to tell you you contract is over. You are dissmised from my services."

                  Contract? Folcon blinked, Over?. It took a moment for it to sink in. He was free to go. He was no longer in service to Hel. He could do whatever he wanted now. And right now, his only desire was to get the out of Hel's domian, and never return.

                  Folcon rose to leave, careful to keep his gaze turned away from Hel.

                  "Before you leave," she said. "Care to take a meal with me?"

                  At this point, new resolce filled Folcon as he looked Hel straight in the eye and said, "Not on my life." He then turned and walked quickly from the throne room and back towards the spairaling staircase. He made his way down the stairs and past the guards, whom compleatly ignored him. He walked back up the miles of skull lined tunnels and made his way back towards the light of day.

                  As he stepped out of the tunnel, he saw that it was now midday. He quickly walked the short distance to the protal he made that would take him from Niflheim back to Midgard. He stepped through it and was instanly transported to the shack in the wilderness that he was staying in. He held up the Stone of Transport that Hel had given him and saw it turn to sand in his hands, a true sign that his long contract with Hel was finnaly over.

                        ((Misunderstanding here. I gave Kitz permission to RP as Gods or Goddesses until she thinks of an original character to RP as.))

                        It wasn't long before Raine reached the town of Morroc, the lone city that stood at the heart of the rune-midgard desert. Tall but eroded fortresses greeted her as she took a last glance at the bill board.

                        "10.. 20... 30. Alright, here you go. 3000 zeny and the Angelic Protection." The old man at the counter took the scorpion tails and handed Raine her reward. "I'll let you know if more orders come up... Our little quest goddess. Oh, and here, have a drink of this yellow potion, you look thirsty."

                        Raine giggled and waved good-bye to the potion store owner. In one hand she held the bag of zeny and the Angelic Protection robe, and the other, a small bottle of yellow potion which she drank with haste.

                        She knew just what to do with her new mage clothings and the book she obtained a few days ago.

                        Althought everyone knew Raine's facial features and her trusty goggles, no one has actully seen her battle, or even know her occupation. Raine is quite the stealth type, so she decided she would pretend to be a mage just so she wouldn't have to wear her long worn out cloak in the desert town of Morroc.

                        As Raine trashed the last piece of her cover ups, she rested her vision on a piece of a "help wanted" ad, signed by the famous Archaeologists of Prontera. Making sure no one was looking, she carefully teared the fancy looking page off the wall and quickly headed to the direction of Payon, the forest town.

                          Thane watched, readying his staff, as Andvari transformed into his true form. Standing in front of Thane was a dwarf, clothed in furs and metal armor. He held a large mallet in his hands.
                          "So" said the dwarf, "Are you going to try and take the ring from me or have you suddenly lost the will to fight?"

                          Thane rushed forward, swinging his staff to the side. Andvari blocked the attack with the side of his hammer, spun around, and swung his weapon at Thane's feet. Thane tripped and fell over, bringing up a small cloud of dust, and smacked the dwarf hard over the head with his staff while falling. Unfortunately, all he managed to do was strike Andvari's horned helmet.
                          The dwarf pulled the mallet over his head and sent it crushing down on Thane. The mercenary rolled over, and the hammer smashed over his cloak, stoppin Thane from getting away. Andvari raised his leg, but just as he was about to kick Thane in the face with his iron boot, the man put his stick in the defensive position and, as his enemy's foot connected with the rod, flung the dwarf behind himself.

                          He stood up quickly, almost tripping over in his haste. "More powerful than you had expected, am I not?" said Andvari, landing on his feet. The sound of his metal boots colliding with the cold stone floor echoed across the cavern, the rushing sound of the waterfall always present in the background.

                            Folcon stepped into the shack he called home and sat at the table, waving his hand and causing a plate of food to appear. Folcon grinned, he still had some of the powers givin to him when he entered Hel's service. He quickly ran through the ist of powers he possesed to see what he still had, but beyond summoning a plate of food, he had be stripped of all his gifted powers, leaving him with his psychic powers and flight, and he presumed, his demi-godhood.

                            After he finished his meal, Folcon packed his few belongings that had collected over the past five hundred years, which wasn't much surprisingly, put them into a pack, and stepped out of the shack. He then walked to the edge of the bluff on which his home rested, and took one last look at the "town" below.

                            It wasn't really a town by tradtional standards, yes, it had a high wall and even a moat, but the moat was on the inside, the drawbridge on the outside edge. This "town" was actualy ment to keep people in, not out. This "town" was in fact, Hel's personal harem. The soliders and Folcon where the only ones alowed to come and go. But seeing as how Folcon no longer worked for Hel, he figured that was no longer the case. So he sat down right there on the edge of the bluff and pulled out a map, trying to decide where he would go.

                              The giant crumbled to its knees. After Rey lunged at the giant, the heat was all but bearable for it. Smoldering from the fiery strike, the giant tried to stand up, cursing heavily. Rey just smirked and walked away.

                              Using Obsidian as a walking stick, Rey treaded through the tundra aimlessly. "There's seriously something wrong here. I came here to train and now look at this! No monsters can be seen except those idiot giants." Rey complained to himself.

                              Flipping open his slim, black cell phone, the adorable, smiling face of a girl with jet black hair and blue bangs popped onscreen. Rey smiled gently as he wiped the screen of the phone, giving the appearance of 'stroking' the girl's hair.

                              He opened up a map of Midgard. "Where the hell am I?" He whispered. shaking his head, he put his cell phone back into his pocket and fidgeted with his toolbelt. "Damnit. No more trail mix." he muttered. His hand came across something cold and metallic. He pulled it out, recognizing it instantly as a pendant in the shape of a phoenix.

                              "Phoenix..." Rey whispered. His eyes grew wide. "PHOENIX! THAT'S IT!" Rey exclaimed excitedly, reminded of the TaeKwonDo trainer in the quiet, forest town of Payon. As a double reminder, Rey clasped the pendant in his hand. Instantly, his hand set ablaze once more. Two blazing phoenix wings appeared on his back.

                              "Let's take it to the skies!" shouted Rey, first taking a great leap into the air, letting the fiery wings glide him to Payon.

                                ((OOC @MD if this is supposed to take place in Norse Mythology, how come your chacter has a cell phone?))

                                Folcon just could not decide where he would go. He was not welcome in several cities for taking the young men away for Hel's harem, and he was feared in most other cities for being an agent of death. After a few more hours of eliminating choices, he found one city on the map he had never been to, a forest town called Payon. Seeing as it was somewhat isolated, Folcon hoped his grim reputaion had not reached it. He put the map in his pack, and stood up.

                                "Finaly," he said, unfolding his wings. "I get to do some flying." He lept from the top of the bluff and revaled in the free fall for a hundred feet or so before backwinging and gaing altitude, flying up above the clouds and turned north, with his destination in mind.

                                      Crisp leaves blew across the streets of Payon. Many crowds gathered around showing off their abilities. Merchants were all over selling new goods for fellow adventurers.

                                      The sleeping guards at the front gate awoke with a jolt. The sound of flapping, flaming wings disturbed their slumber. Rey let his wings glide him down in front of them.

                                      "What's up, guys? Long time, no see." Rey said, smirking. He walked passed the guards and into the town. Rey preferred the quiet courtyards rather than the bustling towns. The crowds gave him a headache. The mages and assassins especially, with the mages showing off their magic and the assassins noisily making as many deadly poisons as they can. Rey retreated to an area near the blacksmith.

                                      "Cha ryut!" yelled a voice not too far off. The sound of swift shuffling feet followed. "Kyung Yet!" yelled the voice again. A chorus of voices let out a short yell. "Choong Bi!" yelled the voice, followed by another shuffling of feet.

                                      Rey, recognizing the commands, could not control his curiosity and peeked over the edge of the wall. Several students wearing elegant training uniforms were standing, fists in front of their belt, facing a man in brown monk's robes.

                                      "So... this is Phoenix's TaeKwon Do Academy. Awesome." Rey said, smirking.

                                        Raine forcefully pushed her way through the crowds of payon.

                                        She was quick at adapting to new enviroments and situations, but she much perfered the old, quiet payon, which was the sole reason that she chose the forested paradise as her home town.
                                        Payon wasn't meant to be a gathering place, no one except for the archers, and a couple of lost travellers used to visit. But recently, the idioidic lord decided to expand the town to match the mighty capital of Rune-Midgard, Prontera.

                                        "That's really a shame." Raine sighed, as she crawled into her hideout, where she stored all her rare goodies and treasures. "I swear, sooner or later, someone WILL find my precious belongings and take them all!"

                                        After a minute or two of flailing, Raine repacked her bags and picked up the notices she had ripped off on her way to payon. It would buy her some time before someone found out about the offer.

                                        As Raine paced through the quieter part of payon, she saw and greeted a couple of familiar faces. Who gave her the idea of grouping a party before taking on her mission. Afterall, it did sound somewhat... challenging.

                                          "I'd better not disturb Master Phoenix during training. He's gonna have my head on a silver platter." Rey said. "Now, gotta kill time..."

                                          ...

                                          After Rey finished sparring with his reflection in the moat, he sat down on a bridge. A blue haired girl passed by. Looking for a little adventure to lighten up his day, Rey caught up to her.

                                          "Hey, there, cinnamon cake." He said, smiling.

                                            After several glorius days of flight and riding thremals, Folcon arrived at a mountian top. He landed there and walked to the otherside. There, down below and a few miles out, was Payon. He folded his wings in under his cloak, and began his decent of the mountian. After several more hours, he arrived at the gates of the city, where the guards waved him through without a second glance.

                                            Now, Folcon said to himself as he walked down the street, glancing at shop signs and merchant booths, I just need to find some work and a place to stay. After a few minutes, he came to a fountian and sat down to think about what he would do next. But his thoughts were interupted by a shout.

                                            "Hey you there, stop!"

                                            Folcon looked up and saw a portly man in a white apron chasing after a young boy with green hair. And in the boy's hands was a loaf of bread. They were running in his direction.

                                            "Stop thief," the man yelled.

                                            Folcon stood up and stepped into the boy's path, who at that moment, was looking behind him and did not see. Folcon reached out and grabed the boy around the waist as he ran by, elicting a yelp from the startled lad. Folcon held the sturggling boy firmly as the man ran up to him.

                                            "Thank you," the man wheezed, out of breeth.

                                            "Let me go!" the boy hollered.

                                            "Why?" Folcon asked simply.

                                            "You stole from me boy," the man said. "I'll see that you are exicuted for this."

                                            "It was just a loaf of bread," the boy said.

                                            "Stealing is stealing boy," the man said.

                                            "I was jut trying to feed my sick sister," the boy wailed.

                                            "You lie boy," the man said.

                                            "I do not."

                                            Folcon closed his eyes as if in irrataion and read the boy's mind. He was in fact telling the truth, sort of. It was acctualy a sick friend of his. "I beleave him," Folcon said.

                                            "What?" the man and boy said at the same time.

                                            "I beleave him. So I'll tell you what, I'll pay for the bread and take the boy off your hands, and you let him be."

                                            "Very well," the man said. "It's thirty gold peaces."

                                            "That's highway robbery and you know it," Folcon said, reading the man's mind. "One gold coin is a fair price," Folcon said, holding up a coin with his other hand.

                                            "V..very well," the man sputtered, grabing the coin and walking off.

                                            When the man was gone, Folcon dragged the boy over to the fountian and forced him to sit. "You don't have a sister," Folcon said.

                                            "Yea I do," the boy said, his lip quivering.

                                            "No you don't, but you have a sick friend."

                                            The boy looked up in shock, "How did you -"

                                            "Take me to him," Folcon said kindly. "I want to help him."

                                            "Why?" the boy asked suspiciously.

                                            "Because, one so young should not me sentenced to Hel's domian."

                                            The boy nodded, keeping a tight grip on the loaf of bread, "This way."

                                            The boy lead Folcon through the streets of the city, to a small, delapidated house. He pushed aside the door and let Folcon in. There, lying on the floor, was a young red-headed boy dressed in rags, lying on the floor. "How long has he been like this," Folcon asked, kneeling down next to the sick child and feeling his fevered face.

                                            "Almost a week," the green haired boy said.

                                            Folcon nodded and slipped a few viles from his pack. Selecting one with a blue liquid in it, he slipped the rest back into his bag. He then uncorked the vile, and lifting the sick boy's head, tipped the conents down his throat. The boy coughed a moment then settled down.

                                            "What did you do?" the boy screamed.

                                            "Calm down, it is just medicene. Not be quite." Folcon closed his eyes, and began chantting the words of an ancient healing spell, one the let him channel some of his own stength into another. Opening his eyes, he saw the vision of one of Hel's servants trying to cease the boy's life.

                                            Not today, Narkor, Folcon said telepathicly. Tell your misstress she will not take this child today, or any day.

                                            You are a traitor Folcon, the creature said. I shall take pleasure in taking your soul.

                                            Some other time, Folcon replied, sending for healing energy into the boy.

                                            The creature hissed and dissapered. At that moment, the boy's eyes snapped open and he sneezed vilently, before falling back to the floor. Folcon felt his face agian and confirmed the fever was broken.

                                            "He'll be fine now," Folcon said, sitting down in a corner and closing his eyes. In a few moments, he was sound asleep.

                                              Thane held his staff in front of him, expecting Andvari to charge at him at any moment, but he did not. Thane turned his head to look at the Andvarinaut, the beautiful golden ring, lying on a small rock in the middle of Andvari's pool. This was a terrible miscalculation on his part, for now he knew he was no match for the powerful dwarf. Thane lowered his weapon.

                                              "I cannot fight you," he said.

                                              "Ah, so you see that my power far surpasses your own," Andvari said, hie voice bouncing off the grotto walls, "Well, that was quicked than I had expected."

                                              "There is no point in trying to defeat you, when it is painfully obvious I would lose," Thane said, and made his way slowly back to the cavern entrance.

                                              "When you think you are strong enough, challenge me again," the dwarf yelled after him, "This place gets tedious."

                                              ---

                                              After walking through the icy mountains for almost a whole day, Thane finally reached Luite, the so-called Town of Snow Fairy Tales. But this was no fairy tale for him, as he would have to face the people who have tasked him with retreaving the Andvarinaut for them. He knew they won't be happy. They will probably try and take his life, but Thane was ready for that.

                                              (OOC: How far apart are Payon and Luite?)

                                                  The City of Payon was a peaceful town compaired to the other, as Yuki mused. It was a breezy day, the heat of the oncoming summer washed away by the cooling breeze of spring. Her soft white hair danced with the breeze as she lazyily stroll down the street. In her hand, a request was seen filled out by the Archaeologists of Prontera. A request of great importains, as it was given not only to her assassin clan, but posted along every town square. She mused yet again, it seems like this person wants this request done is great haste. Black leather clad hand reach up and brushed her bangs out of her face and she frowned. Looking around, she look again at a half scribbled handwritting. "This isn't the place..." She mutters to herself as she look around yet again. Signing she walked over to a fruit seller stand. "Excuse me, but can you tell me where I can find Archaeologists of Prontera?"

                                                  The fruit seller eyed her, " Well Sir you are walking in the wrong direction, it is at the other side of the town!"

                                                  Yuki's eye twiched, "No wonder, Fay wrong down the directions wrong again." She though.

                                                  "Thank you." She replied.

                                                  "Welcome sir, but would you like some suger sweets? to treat the ladies?" Asked the fruit seller, trying to sell his wares.

                                                  Yuki raised an pale eyebrow and chuckled. "I'm sorry, but I'm a Female..." With that, she left the shocked fruit seller gasping like a fist out of the water.

                                                  "Onward to the job, and note to self, go after Fay and make his life a living hell." She mutters to herself, walk back to where she was before.

                                                    ((OOC - @ Xelina - I don't want to be a grammer Nazi, but your post has numerus errors in it. Mostly of the verb tense agreement kind. It would be easier to read if you could tweak it into one verb tense.))

                                                    "He's asleep," said a young voice. "We should swipe what he has and get ou of here."

                                                    "But he saved my life," said a second voice. "It wouldn't be right. And you did say he helped you with that baker."

                                                    "But he did catch me first, and would have handed me over too. I still don't get how he knew I was lying about a sister, but still needed to help you."

                                                    "What do you mean?"

                                                    "He said, 'You don't have a sister, but you do have a friend who is sick. Take me to him, I want to help.' I just can't figure out how he knew or why he wanted to help. He might be a pervert or something."

                                                    "But stealing from him is wrong John, he saved both our lives."

                                                    Folcon sighed inwardly, he had been lying awake with his eyes closed for the last hour, listening to the two boys arguee about what to do. Frankly, he didn't cae if they tried to rob him. He had nothing of any real value that could not be easily replaced. And if the did try, then he could easily stop them. It was not that hard to tell that these two children, for all the bluster of the one, were fairly weak. Even if he did want to take them, which he did not, they would not be able to stop him. What these two need, Folcon thought. Is a good meal, a safe place to sleep, and someone to repect. Or atl east a good meal.

                                                    "Then let's just get out of here," said the voice that belonged to John, which Folcon assumed to be the green haired child.

                                                    "But I'm still too weak to move," said the other boy.

                                                    "Sometimes I wonder why I look out for you Jax. You're such a baby."

                                                    "But John," the boy named Jax wailed.

                                                    "Bah, I'm leaving. Stay with the creepy man if you want. I don't care anymore. We aint friends no more." The last was followed by a loud slam of the door and footsteps hurring away.

                                                    "Well," Folcon said as he opened his eyes, scarring the remaining child senceless. "That was mean of him." Folcon looked over at the petrified child and smiled gently, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you."

                                                    "St..stay away," the child stuttered, trying to push himself away from Folcon, but not makeing much progress.

                                                    Folcon sighed and pulled out two viles full of purple liquid. He extened one toward the boy saying, "Here, drink this. It is a potion that will restore your energy and strength." When the child didn't move Folcon said, "Go on, take it. If you want to be running around with your friend agian, this will help you to do it."

                                                    "But he said he aint my friend no more," the child said, still not moving to take the vile.

                                                    "I'm sure he didn't mean it. He was most likly just angery at the time."

                                                    "Why?" the child demanded.

                                                    "Huh?"

                                                    "Why did you help me. You don't even know me."

                                                    "Because eveyone deserves to live. You are no different. And to see one so young pass on to Hel's realm is not something I want to see."

                                                    "What do you know," the child said.

                                                    "A lot. If you so choose, I could teach you."

                                                    "I don't know," the child began. "Tell me first, how did you know John was lying about a sister, but know about me?"

                                                    "Simple," Folcon said calmly. "I read his mind."

                                                      (( I'll try Escout, but your post has a bit of spelling errors too... Guess we both need spell check ne? XD Grammer is hard for me because I speak Chinese at home, and Chinese's grammer is a lot different from English... It is hard trying to convert from one to another. lawl, so pardon me you all... bear with my horrible grammer... ))

                                                      Yuki had reach half way between her designation and decided to take a tea break. So here she is, sitting at a small café, with a cup of cool semi-sweet green tea and a plate of 1000 layer cream cake, reading a newspaper about this strange city. Icy blue orbs scan the paper with little to no intrest as sudden a soft voice spoken up to her right.

                                                      “Excuse me....” Said the young man with blue hair and green eyes. He wore a neat uniform of a mage and carry an unusual book.

                                                      “Yes?” She replied softly to the timid boy as he fidgets under her nonchalant glaze.

                                                      “Umm... are... are you Yuki-sama? The Blacken Butterfly?” Asked the boy as he mutters it softly.

                                                      “Yes, and you are?” inquired Yuki as she now pays more attention to the timid boy. It is usual for anyone to recognized her because most of her times are spent behind a desk, in a darkroom, fuming over the latest work which her partner had screw up over.

                                                      “Fionn Yasuo, I’m under the command of Fay-sama to deliver this message to you.” With that, he pulls out a piece of paper and hands it over to Yuki.

                                                      “Oh.... From Fay?” Yuki asked as she opens the sealed paper. She was rewarded with the sight of extremely messy handwriting.

                                                      “Yes, he was talking about how you are going to kill him and how he is going to die....” Mutters Fionn and he dipped his head in depression.

                                                      Yuki snorted, “You really shouldn’t listen to what he say half of the time. He has a nasty habit of.... over exaggerating things.”

                                                      Fionn nodded, “Sorry, but I really need to get back to my duty...”

                                                      Yuki waved her hand at the boy, “Dismissed.”

                                                      With a slight bow, Fionn walked away and disappeared down an alley, no doubting teleporting back to base.

                                                      A chilly smirk spread across Yuki’s face. “Oh my darling Fay... we are going to have so much fun when I get back... First I should....” She mutters off as she plots all the way to make her second-in-command suffer.

                                                        (@Somia: Thanks, but you don't have to wait for my character to move, since Lutie and Payon don't seem to be very close to each other, which means he won't be arriving in Payon soon.)

                                                        Thane walked through the calm, snow covered town of Lutie, making his way toward his employer's house. He reached the small, unsuspicious wooden house and opened the creaky door.

                                                        The first room was empty, so Thane made his to the basement door. He pulled a key out of one of his satchels and unlocked it. Walking down the stairs, he saw an old man with long grey hair sitting at a table, and two more large men standing next to him. It seems he knew Thane was arriving.

                                                        Seating himself without a word at the opposite end of the table, Thane pulled a small sack of valuable gold coins at placed it on the table.

                                                        "I did not succeed, so I am giving you your money back," he said.

                                                        The man looked at the sack, but didn't take it. "We tasked you with retreiving the Andvarinaut. Why didn't you do that simple task?"

                                                        "Because this simple task was not as simple as you may think," Thane said, "Andvari was there. If you thought getting the Andvarinaut would be so easy, you would not have payed me so much."

                                                        Without looking at Thane, the man raised his hand, and the two large men pulled out their weapons. One held a broadsword and the other a mace with huge spikes. As the old man stood up and exited the room through a door behind him, the two warriors made their way towards Thane, who had readied his weapon for a fight.

                                                          ((Side Note: Filirs are normal homunculus that look like a small blue bird before evolving, after it evolves it just turns bigger and it isn't as cute. '-' But a mutant filir looks like a furless chicken before it evolves and turns into a pheonix-like creature after evolution.))

                                                          Raine, who was completely unaware of the fact that Rey was referring to her had hopped her way away from the main town area to the tip of a leaf-littered plateau. There, she pulled out a whistle from her pouch that resembled a feather, on which two refined-looking silver bells hung from a bright red thread.
                                                          She placed her lips against the tip of the whistle and blew lightly into the opening, which apparently made no audible sound.

                                                          A charming chirp resounded in the distant sky, soon a filir could be see looming over Raine. However, this was not a normal hormunculus, but a mutant filir, who was still beautiful nonetheless.

                                                          "Shardy!" Raine squealed and reached into her satchel for some garlets. "How are you doing? And, and Waffles too?"

                                                          The filir named Shard chirped happily as it snacked on the garlets. It looked like it was telling Raine that it's doing very well.

                                                          Raine sat herself beside Shard and stroked it gently on the head. Officially, Shard is known to the public as Aedon, and Waffles, Aghart. Both were hormunculi created by a biochelmist named Kase.
                                                          Originally Raine showed considerable interest in Kase's Waffles when she wandered around in payon, and later when they became friends, Kase made Shard for Raine as a gift, or maybe... transportation.

                                                          Raine let out a low sigh and awoke from her trail of thoughts.
                                                          "I wonder... if he is well."

                                                            "You ... you read his mind, but how?" the young boy asked.

                                                            "Beacuase I could," Folcon replied, getting up and walking toward the boy. The boy cringed away and whimpered. Folcon sighed and placed one of the two viles on the floor next to the child, then stood up and walked back to the corner he had been in. There, he unstoppered the second vile and drank the contents. Then he turned back to the kid and said, "Look boy, drink it if you want or don't, I don't really care. You'll live either way. If you decide you want to learn from me, I'll be in town for a while." Folcon walked to the door and opened it, "See you around kid." He then left and began walking down the alley toward the end. As he neared the exit, he was stopped by a group of seven men armed with clubs.

                                                            "You tresspassing on our turf pal," one of them said. "Give us all you money, and we just might let you live."

                                                            Sizeing up his adversaries, Folcon was sure he could take them on. But he didn't want to cause trouble, so he reached to his belt and took of the money pouch hanging there. "Here," Folcon said, tossing the bag at the man's feet. "Take it. Now may I please pass?"

                                                            The man grinned evily before saying, "I don't think so. I think you have more money. And we mean to take it." The man raised his club and said, "Get him boys." The other six men growled and moved forward to attack.

                                                            Folcon sighed before drawing one of his swords as the men drew closer and saying, "Did it really have to come to this." As one of the thugs took a swing at him, Folcon muttered "I guess so." He dodged and turned tail, running the other direction down the alley. Why does trouble always seem to come looking for me? Folcon wondered as he hurried down the alley.

                                                              "So... So that's how it is, huh? Am I just not good enough to be your daughter?! Because I don't see how the real, your "oh-so-dear" Rin can possibly make that much of a difference, when, when she merely existed for more than 5 years!" Raine screamed, struggling against the lab bench chains.

                                                              "Shut up, your wretched child. Nobody talks about my Rin like that, you dig? You are nothing more than a failed replica. ...Some things just can't be replaced, you must understand that." The man wrapped in a worn lab coat replied.

                                                              Feeling hurt, Raine began to sob. She silently promised herself that she would never again, cry for anyone.


                                                              What is the most terrifying thing that could happen to a child?
                                                              Perhaps when she first opens her eyes to everything a child could ever wish for right before her eyes, except she suddenly got the hunch that her "parents" who smiled upon her at that moment were parents she could never have?

                                                              "Listen, I hope you can find someone that will accept you as who you are in Midgard. Your father and I will destroy this cursed dimesion with everything that's left of us." The female scientist lifted the protective guard and placed her hand on the final switch. "Remember, science is very limited in Midgard. So make good use out of your knowledge."
                                                              "Farewell... Rin."


                                                              The last thing Raine remembered seeing from the dimension gates was her home land engulfed in flames.

                                                              ---

                                                              "That was the first time father called me by her name." Raine reminisced. "I knew from the very moment I was born. I knew that they'll just... disapear."
                                                              "And what of this sword they left me? Mistilteinn?"

                                                              Raine's thoughts were interupted by a sudden wave of yelling and screaming. From where she stood, a winged man and a group of five could be seen. "BANDITS? In payon?! What are they thinking?"

                                                              Raine quickly snuck behind the group of bandits, tapping the leader of the bandits on the shoulder, she teased: "You picked the wrong town to mess with. Why don't you use your 'skills' on something more... helpful to make a living with?"

                                                              "Now who do you think you are? Talking to ME like that?" The bandit's boss replied, arrogance in his tone. "I think I just changed my mind. Boys, get h--"

                                                              "Zero gravity."
                                                              "Stone curse!" Raine chanted, trying to act mage-like when she is really using her pendant's power. All five of the invaders turned stiff instantly.

                                                              "They're all yours." Raine turned and smiled at Falcon.

                                                                "Thanks," Folcon said to the girl that had just turned five of the street thugs to stone. Looking past her he saw the last two approaching and pointed out, "But you missed two." He stepped around her and swung his sword around, taking the head off one, then pluging it into the chest of the other. Pulling the dieing man close, Folcon wispered into his ear, "Give Hel my regardes." He then dropped the corpse and turned to the girl. "Thanks again, although I didn't realy need help, I was just trying to get to an advantageus place to fight." Folcon held out his hand and said, "Name's Folcon."

As it walked by, noxiouse plumes of dark smoke rose from its footsteps, causing many of the people around it to suddently retch. they looked around for the source of the gas. But they could find none, as the figure was invisible to their eyes, and would remain that way unless they manage to have a very unfortunate accident.
                                                                          But Vakkmirr, the Hand of Death, was not here to steal the souls of the dying. at least not these souls. No, he was searching for one particular soul, a very special soul indeed.
                                                                          Ahead of him, the retched creature, Narkor, led him through a town Vakkmirr did not know or care about. Many cities and Empires had risen and fallen in his milleniea of sevice to Hel. He had simply lost the will to bother with them anymore.
                                                                          Down the winding Alleys and Streets the pair crept, their presence hidden except for the sudden lack of Sunshine and, well...life.
                                                                          Finally, Narkor stoped in front of an old house that looked as if it had not been inhabbited, or maintained, by the living in quite some time.Vakkmirr passed through the building like a gost, reaching the Street in front of it quickly with his long, quiet strides. Though technicly, he had been sent to collect the boy, the man was an added bonus. A loose end he had been meaning to tie up for a very long time. The woman, was unexpected, but he didnt think they would be too dificult to handle

                                                                            ((OOC - Your a little behind Darksword. Folcon's out in the street right now talking with Raine, not with the kid right now. But I guess I can make it work))

                                                                            "I'm Raine," the girl said, taking the offered hand.

                                                                            Folcon nodded and turned to leave. "I gotta go, see you around." Folcon made his way back the way he came, grabbing his money pouch off the ground as he went. After a few minutes, he had ereturned to the run down house and entered. The boy named Jax was still there, apparently asleep on the floor, the vile empty beside him. Folcon knelt next to the boy and gently shook his shoulder trying to wake him. The boy's eyes snapped open and looked into Folcon's with a touch of fear. "Easy," Folcon said, "I already told you, I'm not hear to hurt you." The boy nodded and let Folcon help him stand up.

                                                                            "Thank you," Jax whispered.

                                                                            Folcon nodded and was about to say something, but was overcome with a dark presence in the room. A moment latter, he heard a voice whisper, "Hello Folcon."

                                                                            Folcon spun around and turned toward the being behind him, his wings bursting out from beneath his cloak and encircleing the boy. "Vakkmirr," Folcon growled, recognising the spiked armored form. Folcon glanced behind the dark form and saw Narkor cowering under his gaze. "So the lap dog brings a bigger lap dog," Folcon sneered as he drew his sword. "As I already said, this boy will not be taken."

                                                                              ((OOC:great, my first RP post, and i already scrwed up :P. I edited it anyway, for anyone wanting to catch up ))

                                                                              Vakkmirr watched as Folcon drew his sword. He had expected no less from the Avian, and as such, had come prepared.
                                                                              Vakkmirr reached over and drew his own sword. The cracked and pitted surface of the CorpseMaker gleemed in the dim light of the house. He looked at it absentmindedly for a moment, as if he were inspecting it after a long session of polishing. Then, he activated the power in the sword, and a red haze seamed to explode out of it.
                                                                              "The boy is but an accesory. If you i had not heard of your prescence here, i would have rather sent a more capable servant to take him, rather than coming my self."
                                                                              He sent a hatefull glance towards Narkor, who trembled and faded back to Niflehiem.
                                                                              Vakkmirr slowly moved closer to the Avian.
                                                                              "You have been a dificult prey to capture, Folcon. But our chase shall end soon, with you dead at my feat. The laws of the End have been violated by you repeatedly, so i now have the perfect excuse to kill you."
                                                                              And with that, Vakkmirr raised the CorpseMaker high over his head, and attacked.

                                                                              #39   Folcon

                                                                                ((OOC - You didn't have to edit it. I did make it work. But whatever.))

                                                                                Foclon's blade flew up, blocking the strike, while at the same time pushing Jax back into a corner. As Vakkmirr attacked a second time, Folcon bearly managed to parry the blow, pushing Vakkmirr's sword aside and swinging the sheath of his sword with his other hand, slaming it hard into Vakkmirr's chest, causing the agent of death to stumble back. Folcon used the moment to grab Jax by the wrist and run for the door, slaming it open and running for open ground.

                                                                                "What, what was that," Jax stamered.

                                                                                "Vakkmirr, one of the servents of the underworld."

                                                                                "Why is he after me?"

                                                                                "He's not after you, anymore," Folcon replied. "He's after me. We got a little history."

                                                                                "But-"

                                                                                "Tell me, is there a temple in this town, one dedicated to Thor, Odin, or even Loki?"

                                                                                "Yes, there's a temple to Thor at the end of this stret."

                                                                                "Then lets make haste. The sooner we get there, the safer we'll be."

                                                                                They hurried down the street, pushing past numerous people until the temple was in sight. But when they arrived, the gates were closed. "Damnit," Folcon yelled, banging of the gate. "Open up, for the love of Mimir, open up."

                                                                                The gate open quickly, a haired looking man glaring at them. Before he could say anything, Folcon pushed past him and dragged Jax along. "Close the gate, hurry." The man scowled at him, but closed the gate.

                                                                                "What is the meaning of this," the man demanded.

                                                                                "Talk latter, have these ground been consicrated?"

                                                                                "What, yes. Why?"

                                                                                "Then he can't enter. Thankfully."

                                                                                "What's going on, who can't enter?" the man demanded.

                                                                                "One of Hel's dogs. He is after us."

Vakkmirr ran out the house, once again turning etherial. The Avian's speed had suprised him, his powers had diffinetly grown since there last meeting all those centuries ago.

                                                                                  There! Folcon was running up the street with the boy in tow. Vakkmirr Sprinted to catch up to them but was suddently stoped by a blinding pain in his head. It felt like his body was on fire!
                                                                                  Vakkmirr slowly arched his head up, only to see a brightly painted building, not far aheand of him.
                                                                                  He stumbled backwords, out of the protective barrier. His Dark red eyes glowed brightly with anger. unable to controll himself, he turned to the nearest man next to him and plunged The CorpseMaker into his chest. The man screamed and died as his soul was absorbed into the sword.
                                                                                  "Damn Thor!!" he thought savagly as he slowly faded back to Niflehiem.
                                                                                  "And Damn that Avian too!!"

                                                                                    After a few moments, Folcon heard a man scream in death, then felt the dark precesnce vanish. Folcon sighed in releaf, thankful that the undead could not enter holly ground devoted to Thor.

                                                                                    "What was that all about," the man demanded as Folcon hurried into the temple proper with Jax hurring close behind.

                                                                                    Folcon had to pause and think for a moment, his cover was on the verge of collapse. He had to find a way to convice these people that he was not a threat. Just before he could answer, he felt a tug on his sleeve and looked down into the wide-eyed face of Jax. "What about John," he asked. "That man might go after him."

                                                                                    Kneeling before the boy, Folcon said, "I'll try to find him, but Vakkmirr shouldn't go after him, he's still in good health. I'll find him, but you must stay here for now."

                                                                                    Jax nodded his head and Folcon stepped away and looked at the man, "I promise I'll explain when I get back. Please look after the boy untill I return." The man nodded and Folcon walked up to the gate and open it, then slipped out and hurried down the streets, ignoring the crowd that had gathered around the dead man's body. He had to find the boy, if Vakkmirr should find him first and learn of the connection to Jax, the boy would not live to see sundown. Now he just had to find the kid, hopping the trace e had left on him on first contact still held.

                                                                                      In the dead world known as Nifflehiem, Vakkmirr raged.
                                                                                      He raged, because the prey that he had hunted for so long had managed to escape yet again.
                                                                                      "Ice Shard" he growled, and another demon fell.
                                                                                      He had been killing Demons for hours, trying to vent his anger. But he had been so close this time! if only he had come better prepared, blocked the exits maybe....
                                                                                      Vakkmirr sighed, wich sounded more like a death ratttle than anything else.
                                                                                      Next time he met Folcon, he would either bring numbers with him, or he would make them. Either way, Folcon would not escape him the next time they met, wich would be soon, he hoped.
                                                                                      He turned to the next Demon, a Flame Brute, wich gave out a squeel of fright and tried to run away.
                                                                                      Vakkmirr silently grinned to himself. "You wont escape me my Prey" he mumbled
                                                                                      "Ice Shard!"

                                                                                        After an hour of searching, Folcon was still no closer to finding the green haired boy named John. He stopped at the fountain near the city gate and sat down to think. But he was broken out of his thoughts by,

                                                                                        "Stop thief!"

                                                                                        Folcon looked up and saw the very person he was looking for being chased yet again by the same baker. He hurried over and stepped in front of the boy again. The boy, not looking where he was going, ran right into Folcon, bounced off, and fell to the ground. As soon as the boy was on his feet, Folcon had a firm grasp on his arm and the baker had arrived. "We need to stop meeting like this," Folcon said to the boy. Glancing at the baker, he asked, "What he steal this time?"

                                                                                        "He took a large amount of gold," the man siad.

                                                                                        "Lier, I swiped a bagal and that was it."

                                                                                        "Who you going to beleave, me or some kid?"

                                                                                        Folcon, reading the kid's mind, could see the boy was telling the truth. "I'm inclined to beleave the kid," Folcon said, glareing into the baker's eyes.

                                                                                        The man paled slightly and ran off.

                                                                                        "Where do you think your going?" Folcon asked, as the boy started to step away.

                                                                                        "I'm going-"

                                                                                        "Your going nowhere but with me."

                                                                                        The boy's eyes grew wide, "I knew it," he said. "You are a-"

                                                                                        "I'm nothing of the sort," Folcon growled. "You friend is waiting for you at he Temple of Thor, and I'm going to take you there."

                                                                                        "Why?"

                                                                                        "Because that's what your friend Jax wanted."

                                                                                        "Fine, but if you try anything-"

                                                                                        "Fell free to make all the noise you want," Folcon said, rolling his eyes. He started off across the square toward where the temple was.

                                                                                        As soon as they arived, Folcon dumped the kid with Jax and went into the alter room of the temple. There, he made his prayers to Thor, and as he expected, got no responce. It would take a while to get back into the god's good graces. He then left the alter and went outside.

                                                                                          Wragle had barely made it into the pot outside of the nearby shop. A split-second latter and his presence would have been detected and his destruction comfirmed. The tiny gremlin puased to catch its breath, and the poped his head out of the pot to find his target. Wich was only a few feet away, talking to some green haired kid.
                                                                                          Wrag was alsmost close enough to here there conversation. He presed his oversized ears closer to the cold pottery, straining to pick out his targets voice over the normal street bustle.
                                                                                          after afew minutes of strained hearing, Wrag had only managed to pick up a few words, none of seamed important though.
                                                                                          He sighed and looked out of the pot again to watch his target move back down the street, before poping into existance behind a bench a few meters down the street his target was walking down.
                                                                                          He looked at the Talisman hanging around his neck, witch looked like a chicken bone, but was actually a sheilding charm.Besides his natural stealthing abilities, the talisman was the only thing keeping him from oblivion. And it wouldent be long before hed have to recharge it or get a new one before its power ran out.
                                                                                          Wragle looked back up to watch his target stride by, only a few feet before him.
                                                                                          He would continue to watch the target like this for several more days, before finally reporting back to his master and being able to crawl back into his cave and sleep again. If he survived until then, that is.
                                                                                          And with a quiet pop he was of to the next watching post.

                                                                                            Folcon sat down on a bench within the temple grounds and pulled out the katana he had used to block Vakkmirr's attacks. Looking along the edge, he could see the blade was horrably damaged, most likely beyond repair. He could tell, by the extent of the damage, that one more blow from that fiend's sword would have shattered the blade. But if he could find some dwarven smiths, he might be able to get it repaired, For a high price, he snorted.

                                                                                            Folcon sighed, if he couldn't get the blade fixed or replaced, he would have to use the sword Surt gave him, the firey Blade of Muspull. That prospect didn't make him happy. He had yet to fully master it's powers. It would be as much a danger to himself and others as it would be to his foes. His only hope was that the next time he meet Vakkmirr, it would be in an unpopulated area.

                                                                                              Perhaps Wragle had found somthing interesting enough to use as an excuse to go home?!
                                                                                              Wrag looked closer at the man. this particular hidding spot did not give ham as much of an advantagiouse veiw as most of the others did. But he could see that the target was examining his sword. Even from the distance he was at, Wrag could see that blade was in terrible conndition. There was a small chunk of metel missing from the side of the blade, witch had caused it to crack lengthwise towards the end. It looked like it was about to fall apart practicly.
                                                                                              Yes, Wrag was shure that a damaged weapon was important enough to return to Nifflhiem and notify his master.
                                                                                              The prospesct of being able to go back to his cave filled him with excitement. so happy he was at the thought of leaving Midgard that he accidently gave out a yelp. Wragle intantly shoved his tiny fist in his mouth and prayed that the Avian had not heard him. It seamed as though his prayers had gone unanswered though, because he saw the Avian look up in his direction.
                                                                                              The target would be able to sence him if he teleported this close to him, even with the Talisman.
                                                                                              Wragle gulped and pushed himself as far back as he could go into the wall behind him.
                                                                                              He grabbed the Talisman.

Folcon snorted in irataion. He would not have been surprised that Vakkmirr sent some living servent to spy on him. And it wouldn't have bothered him much at the moment, except his damagded sword was in plane sight. He didn't want this survent informing its master about it. Reaching into his jacket, he pulled out a dagger and hurled it in the direction of the sound.

He stood there for a moment, staring blankly at the hilt of the dagger, before dropping against the wall. With the last of Wragle's strength, he grasped the Talisman with two hands and snapped it in half with a loud CRACK!!
                                                                                                  And then he died.

                                                                                                  But the soundwave from the cracked Talisman didnt. it traveled al the way across town, irritating the ears of the people in the streats bellow. It continued traveling until it reached the Payon graveyard. There, the sound sundently stoped. Nothing in the Graveyard moved for a moment...until Four of the Headstones began to wobble slightly...

                                                                                                    Rubbing his ears, Folcon walked over to where he threw the dagger and found it burried in the chest of a gremlin. He also saw a snapped talisman on it's body. Muttering incoherant swears, Folcon pulled out the dagger and wipped it off on the rags the creature was wearing, then slid it back into his coat.

                                                                                                    It was at that point that two men from the temple showed up. Upon seeing the dead crature, one said to the other, "Dispose of this, and you. I think its time you told us your story stranger."

                                                                                                    Folcon nodded and followed the man into the temple while the other picked up the gremlin's corpse and dumped it in the trash pit, tossing a layer of lye and dirt over it.

                                                                                                      "Time to move" he thought.
                                                                                                      He faded into Midgard, just ouside of Payon, and cast a glance over at the grave yard.
                                                                                                      "Know to get through that barrier"

                                                                                                        An hour latter, Folcon was sitting in a room with the head priest of the temple. Durring that time, he decided to tell the man the whole truth about who and what he was. After he had finished his tail, the preist said, "You carry a heavy burden on your shoulders young man. I am sure Lord Thor will welcome you back in time."

                                                                                                        "I pray that he does," Folcon replied. "I fear that my presence here will put your temple in danger though. I had not anticipated running into Vakkmirr so soon. He will try to return, with an army if need be, just so he can kill me. It might be best if I were to leave."

                                                                                                        "You speak an awfull truth young man. And leaveing may be the best option. But you can't keep running from you problems."

                                                                                                        "I don't run from Vakkmirr for fear for myself. I run so he won't harm others."

                                                                                                        "Tell me, if you were to leave, where would you go. By your own admition, there are very few places you could go to. Especaly if you take those two boys with you."

                                                                                                        "Why would I take two snot nosed brats with me. I don't realy care about them."

                                                                                                        "You lie to yourself. If you didn't care, you never would have helped them in the first place. If you didn't care, you would have left the boy to die at the hands of this Vakkmirr, or you never would have gone after the other. Besides, they're in the way here. And since they're orphans and have nowhere else to go, they might be better off with you."

                                                                                                        "Better off," Folcon laughed. "Yes, they'd be so much better off with me, a man who will be hunted by creatues that want his head everywhere he goes."

                                                                                                        "But still-"

                                                                                                        "I hear there are martail arts dojos here in Payon, why not dump them there? At least then they might learn something better then stealing."

                                                                                                        "Is that realy how you fell?"

                                                                                                        "They're alive right now, I could happily wash my hands of them."

                                                                                                        "Such an atitude won't raise you in the eyes of Thor," the preist said.

                                                                                                        "Perhaps not, but until I can get my sword repaired or replaced, I can't protect them anyway."

                                                                                                        "You are in luck Folcon, there is a forge not far from here. The smiths there are among the best in the region. Go there, and see if you can haggle a deal."

                                                                                                        "Hmph, I think I will. May I leave now?"

                                                                                                        "Yes, go. Attend to whatever you need to atend to. A room has been readied for you if you want it. Just ask any of the priests to point you in the right way."

                                                                                                        "Thank you," Folcon said before getting up and going out the door.

                                                                                                        ((OOC - Is there anyone out there that is still particapating in this RP? Aqua? Darksword?))

                                                                                                              Valia sat quietly on a stool in the blacksmith's shop, watching the men work. She had worked hard for the head smith for a long time, but he recently hired a new man. This guy was very efficient and when he and the head smith started working, they often left Valia with nothing to do. She even ceased to wear her uncomfortable working dress and instead wore her traveling one.

                                                                                                              The head smith looked in her direction and sighed. "I can't stand to see you just sitting there," he said. "When I needed someone to help me, you were there. I couldn't pay you, but you helped all the same. Now that I'm in business again, I no longer need help." He turned back to his work and said, "I'm sure someone out there is in the same position I was. You should find them."

                                                                                                              Valia looked out the window. Traveling was hard these days what with monsters and bandits on the roads. That and... Valia had no idea where to go.

                                                                                                              Valia's troubled thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door. "Valia, could you go answer that?" the blacksmith asked her.

                                                                                                              "Yes sir," she said and obediently got up and opened the door.

After taking a moment to dust himself off, and making sure his wings were folded under his cloak, he knocked on the door. A moment latter, the door open and a girl stood in the doorway. Folcon noticed three things about this girl, one, she was sickly pale, yet held a strong beauty, two, her right arm was nothing but blackend bone, and three, she gave off a powerful dark arua.

                                                                                                                Folcon frowned a moment before asking, "Do you repair swords here?"

                                                                                                                  Valia called over to the blacksmith, "Sir, we have a customer."

                                                                                                                  The smith looked up. "Eh? Oh good. What does he need?"

                                                                                                                  "A sword repaired, I think," she replied.

                                                                                                                  "Well, bring the blade here. Let's see how bad it is." He didn't specifically direct this order, so Valia motioned to the man to bring the sword to the blacksmith himself.

                                                                                                                  #57   Folcon

Glancing at the tools on the walls confirmed it. He handed the katana to the man and the smith drew the blade, whistling at the damage. "How'd you manage to do this to such a finely made sword kid."

                                                                                                                    Folcon almost told the man the truth, but changed his mind and said, "I've had it for many years. I've just never got around to having it tuned up on occation. And I was most recently in a fight agiasnt a broadsword. I'm lucky she's still in one peace."

                                                                                                                    The smith nodded and said, "This will take time to fix, you might be better off buying a new blade."

                                                                                                                    Folcon nodded and said, "I suspected as much."

He motioned to all of the different longswords, short swords, katanas, scimitars, and knives all around the room. "I've got an extensive collection of blades here. You could purchase one from me for a good price. Or, I could fix this up good as new."

                                                                                                                      Then he smiled and said, "Mind, the latter might cost you a pretty penny."

And I'd like to keep my old sword too. If you would be so kind," Folcon held out his hand and the smith handed the broken blade back.

                                                                                                                          "You could have asked to go with him so that you could make it to another town safely."

                                                                                                                          "Oh, no! I could never ask anything like that of a complete stranger."

                                                                                                                          Acting as if he did not hear her, the blacksmith hustled her out of the door, saying, "Quick, quick! Ask him before he leaves town."

                                                                                                                          As the door closed behind her, Valia sighed and decided to browse the town until the man left. She could make up excuses later.

                                                                                                                            In the city know as Lighthalzen, Vakkmirr hid in behind a building. He figured that, judging by the name, it would be easy to find a holy man.
                                                                                                                            Vakkmirr peeked around the corner. though it was dark, and he was invisible to most mortals, the preist would be able to see him. His dark aura would show like a lighthouse to the preist if he was looking in the the right direction. He would have to use stealth on this one
                                                                                                                            Vakkmirr looked around the building again, the preist looked to be alone, walking down the granite paved streets.
                                                                                                                            He counted to 3, then lunged out from behind the building, sword raised.
                                                                                                                            The Preist must have sensed his precence at the last second, because he jumped out of the way and raised his hand. If any mortals had been watching, it would have looked as if the preist had raised his hand and said somthing as if someone was standing in front of him. However, to an Etherial being like himself, the result of the spell was a bright ball of holy light exploding against his chestplate.
                                                                                                                            Vakkmirr climbed out of the little trench his body had created by being blasted back ten feet. For the spell to be that strong, he must have picked a Holy preist indeed!
                                                                                                                            Not for the first time, Vaskkmirr cursed law #5 in the Laws Of The End: No agent may use his full power against one who has not been marked to die. If he was at full power, the spell would have had much less efect on him.
                                                                                                                            The preist muttered another incantation, and a pair of knights in golden armor appeared.
                                                                                                                            "You wont take me today, Demon!"
                                                                                                                            Vakkmirr noticed with satisfaction that the summoning of the two lesser guardians had drained the preisted considerably. perhaps this would be easy after all.
                                                                                                                            "Dark Army" he muttered, summoning four skeletons from the ground.
                                                                                                                            The skeletons engaged the Guardians immediatly. providing Vakkmirr with the destraction he needed.
                                                                                                                            Vakkmirr raised his hand in the direction of the preist, had had turned tail and fled at the sight of the Skeletons.
                                                                                                                            "Ice Shard"
                                                                                                                            A dozen or so shards of ice flew out of his hand and into the back of the fleeing Preist, severing the nerves in his spine, rendering him imobile.
                                                                                                                            The Guardians vanished as soon as this happened, and Vakkmirr allowed his own minions to do likewise as he strode calmly towards the motionless, but still living preist. He leaned in close, so the preist could see Vakkmirr's empty, burning red eyes before he died.
                                                                                                                            "I am no Demon, mortal!" he spat as he brought down his blade.
                                                                                                                            The Preist's soul slowly drifted into the Corpsemaker, joining the thousands of others locked inside. unlike the others however, this soul showed with the same golden light that its previous owner had shot at him, marking it as Holy.
                                                                                                                            Vakkmirr turned around and opened up another portal. The Preist's soul could only be contained in the Corpsemaker until it ascended into the domain of whatever idol he had worshiped.
                                                                                                                            Given the power of his blade, and the rank of the preist he had just killed, Vakkmirr guessed that he had about an hour to do what he needed to do. Plenty of time.
                                                                                                                            He took one last look around the city, the steped into nothingness

Inside he found a decent bed and he thre himself on it exaustedly and was soon sound asleep.

                                                                                                                                  Vakkmirr was preparing to open his next portal when a Gremlin, not unlike the late Wraggle, poped into existance next to his boot.
                                                                                                                                  "Master Death Knight Sir, Dincantus has requested a word with you!"
                                                                                                                                  Vakkmirr paused half-way through the spell. Normally, he would ignore the request, and say he was busy doing his duty when they asked why they had been ignored. They usually shut up after that, afraid that they might become his next "Duty".
                                                                                                                                  But if it was actually from Dincantus, then it must be important...
                                                                                                                                  He growled. Meeting with Incantus would give Folcon another day to escape him once again, something that Vakkmirr was getting very annoyed at. However, he might be able to gain some of the old Mage's aid if he went.
                                                                                                                                  Vakkmirr let out another Death-Rattle like sigh. "Very well, take me to your master" He said.
                                                                                                                                  The Gremlin gave him a shakey nod, and then placed its trembling hand on his boot. There was a light "pop", and they were instantly transported in front of a large building, at least five stories tall.
                                                                                                                                  Vakkmirr followed the Gremlin inside of the building. Through the dark levels of the building they climbed, until they finaly reached the top, were there appeared to be a large Study.
                                                                                                                                  The room was dark, but it was only the darkness of the afterlife, somthing Vakkmirr could see easily through.
                                                                                                                                  In the darkness, Vakkmirr saw somthing green flicker. Somthing he instantly recognised as the flaming head of a Death Mage, sitting heavily in the deask.
                                                                                                                                  "Hello Vakkmirr." Dincantus said in his rasping voice.
                                                                                                                                  "Hello Dincantus"
                                                                                                                                  "Oh, do sit my freind, I have much to speak to you about" Dincantus said, giving Vakkmirr what passed as a Smile for his kind.
                                                                                                                                  "I will stand, thank you. I hope this can be quick, I have quarry to catch"
                                                                                                                                  "Oh, you and the Avian can wait, right now we have far more urgent matters to attend to"
                                                                                                                                  Vakkmirr blinked as the Death Mage's powers forced him into a nearby chair.
                                                                                                                                  "Daggle, you may leave us now" Dincantus said, gesturing towards the door.
                                                                                                                                  The Gremlin who had lead Vakkmirr to the building nodded, and then poped out of existence.
                                                                                                                                  "Now," Dincantus said "I beleive that you are going to see very differenlty about the Avian when you leave here."
                                                                                                                                  For some strange reason, an unshakeable feeling of dread came over Vakkmirr upon hearing those words.

                                                                                                                                  #65   Folcon

He left his room and went to the kitchens to find some breakfast. There he saw Jax and John sitting at a table, eating solemly. He nodded at the two boys and sat down at a second table. A few moments latters, both boys got up and moved over to the table and sat down, right as a plate of food was set before Folcon. As Folcon ate, John said quietly, "Thanks for helping Jax. He told me what happened."

                                                                                                                                    Folcon nodded and swallowed before saying, "It was nothing. I couldn't let the son of a ***** take a kid. Or anyone for that matter, not if I can help it. Now that I am free of her, I can thwort Hel's minions all I want. Unfortunatly, that means I can't stay here long. Vakkmirr will come back, with an army if needed to get me. I've been denying him souls for a long time and he aint happy about it. That's why I plan to leave today. So this temple won't be in danger. And niether will you."

                                                                                                                                    "What makes you think that?" John said. "What makes you think he won't come after us to get to you?"

                                                                                                                                    "It wouldn't surprise me if he did. Which is why you two will becomeing with me, if you so chose. I won't force you, but if you are with me, I can protect you until you learn to fight."

                                                                                                                                    "You - would do that?" Jax asked.

                                                                                                                                    "If you chose to travel with me, to Mimir knows where, then yes. I'm tired of living the solitary life I've been living these past centuries."

                                                                                                                                    "Well - wait, did you say centuries?" John asked.

                                                                                                                                    "Yes kid, I'm old. Going on about five hundred fifty years now."

                                                                                                                                    "How is that possible," Jax asked. "No human can live that long."

                                                                                                                                    "The key word there Jax, is 'human'."

                                                                                                                                    "What- your not-" John said.

                                                                                                                                    "No," Folcon replied, shaking his head. "I am all that is left of my people, a race called the Avians. If you haven't heard of them, I'm not surprised. Excpet for myself, they al died out just under five hundred years ago. But enough of this, if you want to go, decide within the hour. I want to leave by then. With luck, I can find a destination for us to travel to." And with that, Folcon picked up the last of the loaf of bread on his plate and walked out of the room with it.

                                                                                                                                    #66   Ironsight

                                                                                                                                      Vakkmirr exited Dincantus' home slowly, wishing he had decided to just go and kill Folcon, rather than spend his time with the ancient mage. For once, Vakkmirr did not want to find Folcon at all, but he knew otherwise.
                                                                                                                                      "Can you at least tell me were he is?" He asked Dincantus when he refused to aid Vakkmirr.
                                                                                                                                      "He is still at the temple, were you left him with the children." he had said
                                                                                                                                      Vakkmirr bagan to chant the spell to create a portal.
                                                                                                                                      "Just perfect."he muttered as he stepped through.

                                                                                                                                      Half a second latter, Vakkmirr reapeared in Payon.
                                                                                                                                      He walked through the streets slowly, savoring the last moments he had before he would be forced to do somthing that he, until a few moments ago, would never do.
                                                                                                                                      He grabbed an old cloak that seemed to match his own dirty and shredded cape relatively well from a nearby vendor as he pased. He quickly put it on, covering his armored body with it, but still making sure his weapon was in clear sight. After making sure his shoddy disguise would protect him from the surrounding mortals, Vakkmirr turned himself visible to the surrounding mortals, who backed away at the sight of a 7-foot tall warrior wearing torn clothes for some reason.
                                                                                                                                      He walked through the streetsfor a while until he was within sight of the temple that the Avian was staying at.
                                                                                                                                      Making sure he was well clear of the protective barrier, Vakkmirr shouted at the top of his voice:
                                                                                                                                      "FOLCON!"
                                                                                                                                      He closed his eyes, and gritted his teeth the next sentance would huant him for many years after this.
                                                                                                                                      "Hrrr, ...I need your...help...."

Suddenly, the crowd started moving strangely. Valia looked up to see that they were parting the way for an enormous warrior heading straight for the temple. But there was something strange about him... then Valia sensed his extremely powerful dark aura, far more powerful than her own. She wondered if he was even human.

                                                                                                                                        The warrior stopped outside the temple and shouted. If he can't enter the temple, he must be a demon, she thought. Valia suddenly realized that if he looked in her direction, he would probably see her aura. What if he attacked? I should have brought a weapon, she cursed to herself. Slowly she began to back away, careful not to make any sudden moves to attract attention to herself. Once she got the chance, she would quickly return to the blacksmith's shop to hide.

                                                                                                                                          After he finished eating, Folcon had returned to his room to repack his few possestions and write up a list of supplies that he needed that the temple could provide. He was interupted in his work by a muffled shouting from outside. Seconds latter, one of the priests stuck his head in the door and said,"Sir, there is a large man outside demanding for your help. He called for you by name."

                                                                                                                                          Irritated, Folcon got up and followed the man outside. As he approached the gate, he felt Vakkmirr's dark presence once more. They came to the gate but instead of going through, Folcon said, "Leave it closed." He then threw back his cloack and extended his wings before flapping and flying up to the top of the walls, where he pearched and glared down at the large man. What do you want Death Knight? Folcon said telepathicly while out loud said, "What do you want Vakkmirr?"

                                                                                                                                          "I need your help," came the reply.

                                                                                                                                          If looks could kill, then the look Folcon gave Vakkmirr would have left him a smoldering pile of ash as he said, "Why should I help you?"

                                                                                                                                            Vakkmirr stood in front of the temple waiting for Folcon to emerge, when he suddently felt the tingle in his mind that meant there was another enemy nearby, but he didnt have time to look for it, as Focon's thoughts entered his.
                                                                                                                                            What do you want Death Knight? he heard in his head.
                                                                                                                                            little Avian, he replied, "perhaps you have not realized that there is more going on in these worlds than our little game." But all the surrounding mortals heard was: " We should speak in privacy, Folcon."
                                                                                                                                            He noticed Foclocn sitting on the Temple's roof, giving him a rather nasty look that made Vakkmirr want to reward him with a nice hot sword through the Avian's chest. But Vakkmirr forced himself to keep his anger under control.
                                                                                                                                            Belive me Folcon, The Lifeforce itself is in danger, we must meet somewear private, the abilities of our new enemies are unknow to me, perhaps telepathic communication is not as safe as it once was. Declare neutral ground, and I will meet you there. Brings guards if you want, but I will not attack you this time.
                                                                                                                                            While he appeared to stand there, in the back of his mind, he commanded another Gremlin to follow the source of the Aura he had felt.

"At the peak in two hours." He then jumped down to the grounds inside the temple and prepaired for the encounter.

                                                                                                                                              Folcon arrived an hour early and sat down and began to clean his newly aquired sword.

                                                                                                                                                Valia finally broke free from the crowd and immediately headed for the blacksmith's shop. As she was walking, she felt like she was being followed. She looked over her shoulder, and saw that the streets were nearly deserted. I’m just paranoid because I think that demon would attack me. He’s surely not following me now, she thought. The feeling persisted, but this time she ignored it.

                                                                                                                                                Once she entered the shop, she was greeted by the smith. "Oh, hello Valia. Did you find the warrior?"
                                                                                                                                                "Yes I did, but I think it would be too dangerous to travel with him," she replied.
                                                                                                                                                "Why?" he asked.
                                                                                                                                                "He's not even human," she explained. "He has these golden wings and he can fly."
                                                                                                                                                "Oh, ahh, I see what you mean..." he trailed off.

                                                                                                                                                Valia again felt like she was being watched and whirled around quickly, but saw nothing. She shook her head, grabbed the pair of combat knives that she was fond of, and went out to the back yard to practice with them.

                                                                                                                                                  Craggel popped into existence right behind the sign of the old smithy that the girl was heading into. His master had given him a very strange target indeed! The girl had one arm that was completly skeleton, and gave him a very bad feeling to be around, wich meant that she was skilled in the dark magics.
                                                                                                                                                  He watched hear wirl around quickly and survey the street before entering the shop. Crag had heard of what happened to Wrag, and had resolved to not make the same mistake he had. Now, he teleported slightly ahead of his target, rather than behind. He had also put a small wad of cotton in his mouth and on his two tiny feet, to mute any sound they might make.
                                                                                                                                                  The girl grabbed a couple of knives from a near by shelf and head to the rear of the shop. So Crag popped into the building's attic, and watched her practice with them.
                                                                                                                                                  While he did this, Crag tried to recall his masters telepathic orders. They were rather confusing. He had told Crag to follow the one with the Dark energy, and to try and capture her if he ordered Crag to do so. Personaly, Crag wondered how much of a chance he had if he was ordered to capture her. Probobly not much, judging by the way she weilded those knives.

                                                                                                                                                  Vakkmirr's POV:
                                                                                                                                                  Vakkmirr followed Folcon's gesture towards a nearby mountian peak.
                                                                                                                                                  "At the peak in to hours" he said.
                                                                                                                                                  "So be it" Vakkmirr replied, as he watched Folcon disapear back into the temple.
                                                                                                                                                  He faded back into Niflhiem and, two hours latter, teleported to the peak. Noting, with some anoyance, that Folcon was already waiting for him.
                                                                                                                                                  "You can put that down Avian." he growled, gesturing at the sword Folcon was holding.
                                                                                                                                                  All he did was grip the sword tighter in his hand and give him another nasty glare.
                                                                                                                                                  "right," Vakkmirr said, "Like I said, um, Folcon I came here to talk, not to fight. Yggdrasil (OOC: I know i probobly spelt it wrong) is in danger."
                                                                                                                                                  He glanced around quickly, looking for evesdroppers.
                                                                                                                                                  "I dont know who they are, or how they got here, but beings from outside our realm have come, seeking out the power of the Lifeforce. I was told to defend it, but that i would need the help of others to do so. The only reason you are still standing right now is because i was also told that you would be a prime choice." Vakkmirr returned Folcons glare.
                                                                                                                                                  "I will have no problem doing this without you, however, and will if it comes to that. Meet me at the gates of Payon tomorrow if you wish to help me."
                                                                                                                                                  And with that, he opened a portal back to Nifflehiem. For beings as old as He and Folcon, tomorrow was never long off.

                                                                                                                                                    Folcon stood, staring off into space after Vakkmirr had left, Yggdrasil, he thought to himself, the great tree that holds the nine worlds in place. If something or someone is truly threatening it, then all of us are in danger. "Why should I get involved," Folcon said aloud. "Such a conflict is the gods' bussness."

                                                                                                                                                    But, said the little voice of reason in the back of his mind, which sounded a lot like his late friend Aiden, if the Tree and the worlds are destroyed, those two boys you befriended will die.

                                                                                                                                                    "You sure pick odd times to lecture me Aiden," Folcon said. "I'm supprised Lord Odin let's you do it."

                                                                                                                                                    You're the one that got me into Valhalla Folcon, why can't I return the favor by giving you advise?

                                                                                                                                                    "You must be crazy to think I would work with that corpse."

                                                                                                                                                    I'm crazy, your the one whose talking to a figment of his imagination. Do you even care about those kids?

                                                                                                                                                    "What's it to you, as you said, you're just a figment of my imagination?"

                                                                                                                                                    But I'm still your friend Folcon, real or not, I still care about you.

                                                                                                                                                    "So your saying I should work with him, a creature bent on my death, because I denied him taking your life?"

                                                                                                                                                    I'm saying you should put aside your differences, for now, and work with him.

                                                                                                                                                    "Hmph, I'll consider it. Your, not upset that I'm might be making new friends, are you. Afriad they might take your place."

                                                                                                                                                    I'm glad you've made some friends, you've spent the last five hundred years alone.

                                                                                                                                                    "Not like I could do anything about that. My job required solitude."

                                                                                                                                                    But you could have taken any number of compainoins over the centuries. You chose to live alone.

                                                                                                                                                    "Of course I did, who would want to be with me. Me, Hel's servent, and branded as such," Folcon said, pulling up his sleave to reveal a brand on his upper arm. "Death follows me where ever I go, why should I bring that on others?"

                                                                                                                                                    But what of these two boys? What will you do about them? Will you take them with you, or leave them, like you have everyone else you start to get close to?

                                                                                                                                                    "What about them, if I help Vakkmirr in this endevor, I can't take them with me. They would be in too much danger. I'd have to leave them behind."

                                                                                                                                                    And if you don't join him, what then. Will you stay here in this backwater town and stay with them, take them with you, like you said you would, and train them, or will you just leave them behind, and forget about them, like you have everyone else.

                                                                                                                                                    "You know, for a figment of my imagination, you sure talk a lot. And why should I do this. Why can't the Gods take care of this?"

                                                                                                                                                    I can not say.

                                                                                                                                                    "Can't, or won't?"

                                                                                                                                                    I-can't, I'm not allowed.

                                                                                                                                                    "How can you not be allowed if you don't exist?"

                                                                                                                                                    I... I am not just a figment of your imagination. I am real. I serve Odin. He has tasked me to look over you, untill the day you pass.

                                                                                                                                                    "Hymph, why? I gave up my place in his sacred halls to save you."

                                                                                                                                                    I'm not allowed to say. But I can tell you this, whatever is threatening the Tree, is endangering the gods as well. They have their hands full trying to save themselves. There are rumors that Norns have fortold the death of one of their number, and it will be the first step toward distruction.

                                                                                                                                                    "So the gods are all busy trying to protect their own while we mortals live in ignorance. Maybe I should leave these lands and go South, to the lands of the Greeks."

                                                                                                                                                    I can't force you to make a decistion Folcon, I'm just a spirit. But I trust you will make what is the right choice. And with that, the voice vanished.

                                                                                                                                                    "The right choice," Folcon said, as he walked down the mountian back toward Payon. "Hell, you know me too well old friend." He soon arrived at the temple and made his way toward his room. When he got there, he saw both Jax and John standing outside the door, with packs on their shoulders. Folcon swore softly as he entered his room and motioned for the boys to follow. He sat on the bed and closed his eyes for a moment. Then he opened them and looked the boys in the eyes and said, "We need to talk..."

                                                                                                                                                      Tomorrow, the moment of truth Vakkmirr thought as he waited near the front entrance to Payon. He vuagly wondered wether or not Folcon would come with him. He new the Avian well enough to not ignore a danger such as this. But they were also mortal enemies, Vakkmirr stole souls, and Folcon saved them. However, he knew that if Folcon joined him it would be for similar reasons as his own, wether they liked it or not. He had to come.
                                                                                                                                                      Vakkmirr remembered what Dincantus had told him about there new enemies.

                                                                                                                                                      "Well, they would have to be intelligent if they found out how to transcend dimensions" he replied

                                                                                                                                                      Dincantus only smiled.

                                                                                                                                                      Vakkmirr sighed his death-rattle sigh. Like it or not, he would need Folcon's aid. even he would not be able to fight off the army they had likely sent after the Great Tree.
                                                                                                                                                      He looked back down the main road Folcon would have to come by to leave. The question remained, was he coming, or not?

                                                                                                                                                      #75   Folcon

                                                                                                                                                        "I don't care about the danger," Jax ranted. "I want to go."

                                                                                                                                                        "But Jax, you can't," John wailed.

                                                                                                                                                        "What are you so upset about, that your friend has grown a spine," Folcon irritatidly replied. He was getting very annoyed. The argument had been going on for the last twenty minutes after he explained to them what was going on as he knew it and that he would be working with Vakkmirr. Both had been terrified at the thought at first, of working with someone that wanted Folcon dead, but after he explained why he had to do it, Jax excalimed he would do whatever he could to help. John of course was not happy. Folcon wasn't happy about it either. He loathed the idea of working with the foul entity, but he had to if he wanted to save the worlds. But he also wasn't pleased about taking either of the kids with him in the work he had to do.

                                                                                                                                                        "I'm upset because I don't want him to die," John said.

                                                                                                                                                        "You should come to John," Jax said. "Think about it, our names could go down in history."

                                                                                                                                                        "Don't get delutions of grandure Jax," Folcon said. "Personaly, I'd rather both of you stay here. But I already promised I would take you with me if you wanted to go when I left."

                                                                                                                                                        "I don't care about the dangers, I want to learn to fight. I'm tired of being the weak one. I want to be able to protect others, I want to get of the streets, and live a free life."

                                                                                                                                                        "Whatever, you want to come, fine," Folcon said. "But we need to get you proper clothes for it first."

                                                                                                                                                        "Then let's go," Jax said, moveing towards the door. Folcon got up to follow.

                                                                                                                                                        "W-wait," Said John. "I-I'm coming too."

                                                                                                                                                        Folcon just nodded and the three left the temple. They spent the next several hours getting proper traveling clothes for the two new travelers, which included boots, cloaks, and clothes. Then, he finnaly took them to a swordsmith to purshase them swords of thier own. A few minutes latter, they walked out of the smith, daggers on their sides, and two short swords slung over Folcon's shoulder. As the began to set, they finnaly returned to the temple, all their shopping done.

                                                                                                                                                        "Get something to eat and go to bed," Folcon said. "I'll see you in the morning." Jax and John nodded and hurried off to the kitchens. When they were gone, Folcon went into the alter room and began to pray. Just as he started the first words of the incantaion, he felt a surge of energy and looked up to see a portal open between him and the statue of Thor. And from the portal, stepped Thor himself.

                                                                                                                                                        Folcon fell to one knee before the god and bowed low. "My Lord Thor," Folcon said humblely, "I am honored by your presence."

                                                                                                                                                        Thor looked down at him for a moment before extending his hand and pulling Folcon to his feet. "I can not stay long boy," he said. He snapped his fingers and a bag apperaed in the air. "Take this Folcon. The items inside will help you in your quest. But be weary of Vakkmirr, do not trust him lightly."

                                                                                                                                                        "So he spoke the truth about a danger to the Great Tree." It wasn't a question, just a statment.

                                                                                                                                                        Thor nodded as Folcon took the bag. He then reached down to his waist and removed his belt and held it out to Folcon, along with his gauntlets. "And take these with you."

                                                                                                                                                        Folcon looked at the offered treasures, the belt that would double its wearer's strength, and the gauntlets that would let him use any weapon with ease. "I can not accept such an offer," Folcon said.

                                                                                                                                                        "I insist, take them with my blessing, and watch over those boys, they have strength that has yet to be realised. And use that firey sword of your's. You earned, use it."

                                                                                                                                                        "I'll keep that in mind," Folcon said, as the god turned to leave.

                                                                                                                                                        "See that you do." Thor then stepped through the portal and it closed behind him.

                                                                                                                                                        Folcon took the bag, belt, and gauntlets to his room and set them with his other gear, before upending the bag. He looked on in amasment to see what it contained, a large set of viles, filled and labeled with potions, rare and powerful healing herbs, and several amulets. Upon examining them, he saw that they were protective amulets, amulets to give stealth, and, a transport amulet that radiatied power that far surpassed the one he had when working for Hel. And finaly, there was a strange block with a note on it. The note was giberish. He knew what it said and ment, but to anyone else, it would be incomprhensable, as it wasin the writting of the Avians. It was a set of directions to activate the block. And once acivated, it would return all his powers that he had as a demigod. He followed the directions and felt the spark as his powers returned. After it was done, the block turned to dust and the paper burst into a heatless flame. Once both were gone, he went to bed.


                                                                                                                                                        The next morning, he left his room, bag tucked away in his pack, belt and gauntlets on, and the transport amulet tucked beneath his clothes and the remaining amulets in his hand. He met Jax and John and handed the the amulets, telling them to put them on. He then pulled out two viles and handed one to each of the boys. "Drink this," he said. 'It will protect you from Vakkmirr's presence."

                                                                                                                                                        The boys nodded and drank the contents of the viles. He then handed them thier swords and they left the temple, heading toward the gate to the town. Standing near it, was Vakkmirr, in his human disgues. As he approached, he placed a hand on the shoulder of each of the boys and said telepathicly, Stay calm. Looking at Vakkmirr, he said, "Let's get going. I want to finish this soon. But know this, If you lay a hand on these two, I will not hesitate to destroy you."

                                                                                                                                                        #76   Ironsight

                                                                                                                                                          Vakkmirr almost smiled as he watched Folcon approach with the boys he had been chasing earlier. Almost, as he had not smiled in a long, long time. Rather, his expresion came out as somthing of a grimace. But it didnt matter either way, as his faceplate covered his features completely.
                                                                                                                                                          Vakkmirr eyed the boys tenetivly, before turning to Folcon.
                                                                                                                                                          "You should have not brought the children, they will only serve to slow us down."
                                                                                                                                                          The boys both gave him looks of absolute terror as if he might deside to simply end them, rather than bother to take them along. But killing them now would only turn his new temporary ally against him, somthing he did not want, yet.
                                                                                                                                                          He looked at Folcon next, noting with disdain that he appeared to have regained his demi-god powers. Both good and bad for Vakkmirr, as the power-up would make him more useful, but bad as he would make a dificult capture latter.
                                                                                                                                                          "Well, at least they will be able to defend themselves." he said, turning his attention back to the boys, noting their new equipment.
                                                                                                                                                          "That means less work for both of us, I suppose, but I dout they will be able to hold our own against our enemies. Perhaps not though, no one knows much about them." He was careful to keep the information he knew about them secret. He would tell Folcon what he knew when he was certain that he would not betray Vakkmirr.
                                                                                                                                                          Vakkmirr turned towards the exit and let out another sigh.
                                                                                                                                                          "I suppose we should get going then" he said, supprised at the laxness at witch he spoke.

Its a matter of personal continued existence for him, rather than saving the world and its inhabitants)

                                                                                                                                                                    Vakkmirr glared at Folcon. "Well, that doesnt really help us that much anyways. We still dont know how to find the root. Unless you all-knowing Avians have a way, or know somebody that does."
                                                                                                                                                                    How sad, Vakkmirr thought, we havent berley begun our journey and were already bickering like children
                                                                                                                                                                    "I know theres one in Niflhiem as well, but for the sake of the children's sanity, perhaps it would not be a good idea."
                                                                                                                                                                    He then looked at Folcon
                                                                                                                                                                    "I do not wish to return there either."
                                                                                                                                                                    "Why not?" Folcon asked sharply.
                                                                                                                                                                    "Because little Avian some of the gods, including Hel, may infact be working against us. And even we do not have the power to fight the gods themselves."
                                                                                                                                                                    Vakkmirr turned back towards the road and began walking.
                                                                                                                                                                    "If you have a way to find Mirmir's well, then perhaps you should lead our little group instead."

And the only other root is somewhere in Asgard, a land closed to me for now. Anyway, we're going to the Port City of Alberta. I'll see if I can learn anything there." Folcon pulled a medalian from a coat pocket and tossed it to Vakkmirr, "I'll use that to contact you if I find anything. Now leave us alone for now." He then turned south and stalked away, both boys following close behind.

Folcon was already begining to aggrivate him again. He wondered how long their group would stay together at this rate.
                                                                                                                                                                        What the Hell am I supposed to do now? He wondered.
                                                                                                                                                                        Ah, I know! he thought as turned around back towards Payon, contacting his Gremlin as he went

After you left, my guy, Vakkmirr, ambushed Folcon, Escout's guy. But Folcon managed to escape and hide out in a temple that Vakkmirr couldnt enter for a couple of days. While my guy was trying to find a way to enter the temple, he was told by a freind that Ragnorok was approaching and that he would need Folcon's help to prevent it. This is about the time R-Dog comes in with her charecter, Valia, whos has been working for a smith until this point. She is currently being watched by one of Vakkmirr's servants and Vakkmirr is on his way to the blacksmith's buildng to find her. Folcon and the two boys he had saved from Vakkmirr, are traveling to Alberta to find a way to locate Yggdrasil, the World Tree, wich is under attack from an unkown force.

                                                                                                                                                                              "What exactly are you hoping to find in Alberta?" John asked.

                                                                                                                                                                              "Nothing," Folcon replied. "I just wanted to get away from tall, dark, and ghastly while I start training you. The chances of actualy finding anything in Alberta are slim to none. But we can catch a ship to the Northern Regions near Izlude. All the merchants there might have some information that can help."

                                                                                                                                                                              "But that's so far," Jax said.

                                                                                                                                                                              "Indeed," Folcon replied. "It will take at least a moon to get there, maybe more."

                                                                                                                                                                              "Then we better get moving," said John.

                                                                                                                                                                              When they stopped that evening to make camp, Folcon pulled three good size sticks from the pile of fire wood and began to whitle them. When dinner was finished, he stood up and handed one to each of the boys, keeping one for himself. "The best way to learn how to use a sword is by doing. Hang the fancy moves and footwork, those can come latter. Tonight, we'll start with the basics. Now Jax, attack me."

                                                                                                                                                                              Jax nodded nervously and held his sword in an akward grip, then stepped foward and swung at Folcon. Folcon knocked the blow aside without evan acknowldeing it, the countered, hitting Jax firmly and hard in the chest, causing the boy to gasp in pain and stumble back, droping the practice sword in the process.

                                                                                                                                                                              While he was recovering, Folcon turned toward John and said, "Your turn. Attack me."

                                                                                                                                                                              John held up the stick in a grip less ackward then Jax's and charged. Folcon easily brought up his own wepon and stoped the strike, following through with a full circle that brought is sword around to connect with John's ribs. John fell to one knee, grasping his side and breathing hard.

                                                                                                                                                                              Folcon turned around and stared into the firelight. This is going to take a while, he thought. Especaly becaus I've never taken on a student, or ever was one. I just learned to fight by doing and watching. Now I have to figure out how to teach these two.

                                                                                                                                                                              "Excuse me," Jax said, interupting his thoughts. "Are we going to continue?"

                                                                                                                                                                              Folcon turned back and nodded.
                                                                                                                                                                              By the time they finished, both boys went to bed nursing several bruses, while Folcon of course, didn't have a scratch on him. But by the end of two hours, Folcon could tell that both Jax and John were getting better, and fast. There might be hope for them yet, Folcon thought, as he leaned against a tree to take the first watch. They have the potentional to become some of the best swordsmen around, and they have eachother to keep themselves sharp. I never realy had a friend, except Aiden. But he wanted to be an artist. He wanted nothing to do with swords, except hang around me. He said watching me train gave him his best inspiration, but he never let me see his works that intailed me. I never saw them till after he died, just before I went into service with Hel. That was when I saw why he didn't want me to see them. They were of me, training, with nothing but my bandana on. He must have been so embaressed about it. That was when I realised he loved me, yet knew it was a love that would never be returned. I was in love with a girl next door. But she died shortly after he did. I've lived in lonelyness ever since. Of how I miss you my friend.

                                                                                                                                                                              Folcon stared into the embers of the fire throughout the night, not even bothering to wake either of ther others. He slept deep and well last night. He would not need any sleep for the next few days. He keep his eyes on the fire, and waited through the long night.

He quickly turned around and narrowed his eyes. Scanning the crowd. Years of hunting had tuaght him how to trail a target without noticing, but if he was being followed, then the persuer would have to be very good. As well as think themselves strong enough to take him on. After several minuets of serching, Vakkmirr turned back around and continued onwards, an uncomfortable shuffle in his step. He vuagly wondered if this was how his victems felt before he closed the trap on them.

If he strikes from this side, she thought, I'll dodge and counter-attack like this. She acted out the movements with great speed. And if he does an overhead strike, I'll do a dive-roll and hit where he's not guarding. She kept practicing until she got dizzy and accidentally rolled into an outdoor forge, hitting her head. Deciding that this would be a good time for a break, she sat, rubbing her sore skull. She looked over at the windows of the shop and saw that the blacksmith was not watching. This is weird, she thought. Why does it feel like I'm always being watched? Is someone following me?

Perhaps he had over-estimated the girl he was watching. But the mariment quickly stoped as he felt his master's dark presence enter his mind.
                                                                                                                                                                                    Craggle! What is the situation with your target?
                                                                                                                                                                                    Craggle closed his eyes and focused hard on his masters voice then thought as loud as he could: The Target is...uh, offguard at the moment master. After a moment of silence, his masters voice reapered in his head.
                                                                                                                                                                                    Good, where are you hiding, Gremlin?

                                                                                                                                                                                    Crag sighed with releif at his masters orders. Fighting was not a Gremlin's speciality, Spying was. He would surly have been killed if he joined the wretched Death Knight in combat, that always happened to gremlins, they always seemed to end up getting killed.
                                                                                                                                                                                    Crag ran over to the front end of the buildings attic. He could indeed see his master making his way to the front door.

                                                                                                                                                                                    Vakkmirr winced in pain as his spy's thoughts blasted across his mind. IM IN THE ATTIC SIR!!!
                                                                                                                                                                                    He quicly recovered from the headache and told the Gremlin to stay were he was. Then approched the building. He knocked on the door.
                                                                                                                                                                                    The man who opened it, he guessed was the smith who owned the place. The smith looked him over for a moment then said: "Can I help you with something?"
                                                                                                                                                                                    Vakkmirr smiled his evil smile, once again hidden by his helmet. "Why yes, you could. Id like to look at your swords if it would be alright with you." he said as he stepped inside.
                                                                                                                                                                                    He could feel the energy he had sensed yesterday around here somewere. The smith did not have it, so there must be someone else in or near the smithy.
                                                                                                                                                                                    "Is ther anyone else here? Any Co-Workers or Family?"
                                                                                                                                                                                    "No," the Smith said, "My asistant went home a while ago, and the only other person here is leaving soon."
                                                                                                                                                                                    Ah, Vakkmirr thought to himself, I have you now
                                                                                                                                                                                    "Where is he?"
                                                                                                                                                                                    "She, is in the back," the Smith said unhappily, "now, is there somthing you want to buy?"
                                                                                                                                                                                    Vakkmirr glanced around the room and said: "I think ill just look around for a little bit."

Her thoughts on her head suddenly were interrupted by the powerful aura that she had felt earlier. I am being followed! she realized, by the demon! She tucked the two knives into her sash and stood up. The aura was coming from inside the building. Could she escape while he was in there? She looked around at the fence encircling the yard. It was taller than she was, but she decided that she could jump it. She looked back at the windows, suddenly terrified that a hideous face would be staring out. She carefully approached the fence as the aura grew stronger, telling her that the demon was getting closer.

He quickly realised that the girl's magical abilities must be warning her about his master, because she appeared to be trying to jump the fence in the back of the smithy.
                                                                                                                                                                                        He closed his eyes again and focused as hard as he could, then said in his mind: master, the girl is escaping!

                                                                                                                                                                                        MASTER THE GIRL IS ESCAPING!!!!!
                                                                                                                                                                                        Vakkmirr turned around and walked up to the the smith. "Whats in the back?" he asked.
                                                                                                                                                                                        "Nothing," the smith replied, "Just a few old furnaces, some rocks, and the fence." the smith narrowed his eyes. "Why, you arent steeling anything, are you? I might not be a warrior, but im good enough with a sword to take you down before you made it out!"
                                                                                                                                                                                        Vakkmirr pushed the smith aside as he headed for the back exit.
                                                                                                                                                                                        "-Hey" the smith protested, "dont make me throw you out, you-!"
                                                                                                                                                                                        "Human Blacksmith," vakkmirr cut in, "It has been almost two days since I have last taken a life. All I need is one more reason from you and I will gladly switch targets.'
                                                                                                                                                                                        The smith's eyes widened. "You dont mean...VALIA! RUN THERES A DEMON AFTER YOU!!!"
                                                                                                                                                                                        Vakkmirr snarled in fury as he roughly pushed aside the smith, who fell behind his desk, and ran outside. Drawing his blade as he did so.
                                                                                                                                                                                        Outside, the hazy sky of Payon seemed a bit darker. He looked around and found a rather strange girl staring back at him, a few feet away, hands hovering over a pair of daggers. If the girl was afraid of him, then she was careful not to show it. She took one look at Vakkmirr, thought better of it, turned around, and ran towards the fence.
                                                                                                                                                                                        Vakkmirr growled and ran after her.

She managed to push herself up and over to the other side. She landed on her feet and took off running again. Adrenaline is a wonderful thing, she thought to herself. She ran toward the temple, possibly the only safe place for her. Should I cast a spell to slow him down? she wondered. She decided to hold off and only cast the spell if he actually caught her.

He nearly slipped in the muddy street behind the Smithy trying to stop himself. He quickly regained his balance and saw that his new target was runnig towards the same temple that Folcon had used to ecsape him days ago. If she got inside, she would be completely safe from him. But this time, he had learned from his past, and now knew exactly were the Temple was.
                                                                                                                                                                                            (Note: The reason Vakkmirr doesnt simply teleport to Yggdrasil is because he has to have been to the location he is teleporting to before. I probobly should have mentioned that earlier.)
                                                                                                                                                                                            Rather than chase after her like he had with Folcon, He instead stead opened a portal and stepped through it, appearing in front of the temple. He drew his sword and took a few breaths, before assuming an agressive stance in front of the temple. The girl would not get inside.

                                                                                                                                                                                              "Why didn't you wake me for the watch?" John complained yet again.

                                                                                                                                                                                              "There was no need," Folcon replied. "I can go a few days without sleep, so I just stayed up all night."

                                                                                                                                                                                              "You may have saved our lives and all," John said. "But I still don't fully trust you. You still could be a..."

                                                                                                                                                                                              "What will it take for you to realise that I have no intrest in harming you in any way?"

                                                                                                                                                                                              "Good question," John said, looking up in the sky for a while. "I don't know, maybe you aint a creep. Maybe your just some guy that has god bestowed gifts and a kind heart, and maybe I'm just a suspicious kid that don't trust no one."

                                                                                                                                                                                              Folcon just shook his head as they continued down the road, "Your free to leave whenever you want. I'm not forcing you to stay in my company."

                                                                                                                                                                                              "It's not like there's anywhere else for me to go. It's either go back to Payon and go back to being a street rat, go with you to Alberta, or leave in my own and wander the woods. Not much choice as I see it."

                                                                                                                                                                                              "Suit yourself," Folcon said, not even missing a step.

                                                                                                                                                                                              The next several hours passed in silence untill mid-day, when the stoped for lunch. Durring the break, Jax and John shared there life stories with Folcon, not that there was much to tell. Both had been orphaned at a young age, never knowing their parents. After a few years, they were thrown out of the orphanage they were inn because no one would adopt them. They had been living on the streets ever since. In return, Folcon shared a small piece of his own story, who and what he is, and was, and why the feeling of loathing between himself and Vakkmirr is mutal.

                                                                                                                                                                                              "So that's why I got such a bad feeling from him, he's lost his humanity," Jax said.

                                                                                                                                                                                              "If he ever had it," Folcon said softly.

                                                                                                                                                                                              "What was that?" asked John.

                                                                                                                                                                                              "Nothing," Folcon replied, picking up his pack and slinging it over his shoulder. "Let's get going. According to the map, it's at least another two days till we get there. The sooner the better."

                                                                                                                                                                                              The other two nodded and picked up there packs, before falling into step behind Folcon and continuing down the road.

However, the demon was already standing in front of it! Valia skidded to a halt. He was standing with his sword out, slightly shaky on his feet, but ready to fight. I wonder why he wants to kill me so badly! Valia groaned inwardly. Wasting no time to figure out how he got there, she drew out her two knives and assumed a defensive position. The question of 'Can I actually fight this creature?' popped into her mind, but she did not have any other options. She charged up a Bad Luck spell too, just in case.

His grin grew only bigger as he saaw her pull out her two dagers.
                                                                                                                                                                                                  "Good, maybe this wont be a waste of time after all!"
                                                                                                                                                                                                  As a warrior, Vakkmirr knew that knowing an enemies strenghts and weaknesses could be key to victory. He had been taking souls from average people for so long though, that he rarely had to put that kind of effort inot a battle. But, seeing as his opponent knew at least some degree of magic and combat, perhaps he should pay attention.
                                                                                                                                                                                                  He knew that those daggers would be no mach for even a regular sword, much less the Corpsemaker. His armor would protect him from all but a magicaly charged attack, a curse, or a blow to one of his less defended areas. His opponent did not seem to have much armorment besides her clothes, but she would be harder to hit because of that.
                                                                                                                                                                                                  Suddenly, Vakkmirr felt a familiar force overcome him. What are you doing? Vakkmirr thought angrily to the Mage inside his head.
                                                                                                                                                                                                  She'll be useful in the future, I forbid you to kill her.
                                                                                                                                                                                                  "Wait Girl, I realize that it would be a waste to kill you. I have a proposition." Vakkmirr said roboticly. He was growing tired of being on the Mage's leash.

He admitted that his purpose for chasing her was to kill her. What made him change his mind? And what is this so-called "proposition"? Merely a trick to kill her without a battle? But he's stronger than I am, she thought. He would have no need for tricks. She did not let go of the spell's power, so that she could cast it at any second. She asked, "What do you want, demon?"

                                                                                                                                                                                                      Vakkmirr senced that she was supprised, but did not let her guard down. Good.
                                                                                                                                                                                                      "What do you want demon?" He heard the girl ask.
                                                                                                                                                                                                      Vakkmirr grimaced, he disliked peole calling him a Demon. Demons were stupid brutes that lived somewere in or around Muspell. They were, Society wise, below him and his kind. Often becoming servants to them, hence the Gremlin spy.
                                                                                                                                                                                                      "Listen Girl, call me a Demon again and I will change my mind about not killing you.Now, I noticed earlier that you posses some very special abilities." He thought he saw the Girl stiffen at the mention of her powers, but her hands never left her daggers. "Tell me. Have you ever heard of Ragnarok?"
                                                                                                                                                                                                      "Yes... but what does that have to do with anything?" The girl said cautiously.
                                                                                                                                                                                                      "Everything!" He replied quickly. The feeling of being watched had suddently returned.
                                                                                                                                                                                                      "Follow me to Alberta. We will meet an...associate of mine there, along with his two half-sized lackeys."
                                                                                                                                                                                                      "Why would I Accompany you anywere?" She asked him feircely.
                                                                                                                                                                                                      "If you value your life, and the lives of others, then you will come with me. Do not worry, I think you will find my accomplice's presence much less doom-related."
                                                                                                                                                                                                      He stood there waiting for an answer. He could feel her mortal mind at work. It was definitly full of questions. He didnt blame the girl, he hadnt told her much, or given her much reason to go with him. Excespt that it might mean her death.
                                                                                                                                                                                                      The feeling of being watched seemed to intensifiy suddently. He quicly gave the surrounding crowd a good look over. Nothing suspiciouse. Just boring mortals going on about there short, boring lives. Yet the sensation did not go away.
                                                                                                                                                                                                      "Answer quickly!" He hissed.

However, he had told her practically nothing, except for a threat to kill her. I no longer do evil, she reminded herself. And whatever this demon's up to, it couldn't possibly be good. But could it? He mentioned Ragnarök. How did that tie in?

                                                                                                                                                                                                        "Answer quickly!" he hissed. Valia flinched. She had to make some sort of decision now. I must avoid committing to any of his plans until I know exactly what they are, she thought. Choosing her words carefully, she said, "If you fully explain your purpose in Alberta, I will follow you there." She wondered if even associating with this creature was evil. Well, it's either that or death, she sighed to herself.

Its not really a big secret, I just dont have time to explain right now. But we must leave. Go back to your dweling and get anything you need from there. Meet me at the Southern gates in 15 minuets." Vakkmirr said. He looked around again. "And if you think of running off again I will find you."
                                                                                                                                                                                                          The gril nodded slowly and turned to leave.

Vakkmirr said, suddently remembering the Amulet Folcon had given him. He pulled it out and tossed it to the Girl. "See if you can work this thing. I have to speek to an acomplice."
                                                                                                                                                                                                          He turned around and headed through the crowd. Searching for what ever was giving him that uneasy feeling Still just people. They all reaced to him normaly. All parting to avoid him. Some giving him odd looks, some even shreiking in supprise and fright. Just ordinary people here. But he was being watched, he knew it. And he was afraid that whatever it was would eventuaaly try to confront him. At least it would give him a chance to see whether or not his new partner was of any use.

Evening came and they stoped for the night. After dinner, the training waches continued. Within half an hour of the practice, Folcon could see how much both John and Jax's technique had improved. After another few minutes, he broke off the sesion and set the two boys to sparing against wachother. He continued to watch, stepping in to make adjustments or give advise. He had to admit, he was having fun working to train the two boys. They were improving faster then anyone he had ever seen. With each match, they got better and better. Near the end, he began joining one to team up on the other in an effort to train in fighting more then one opponent at a time. By the time he called for an end, even Folcon was felling the strain on his body. And both John and Jax had significantly fewer brueses then the night before. Folcon streched out by the fire, once more taking first watch. After a few hours, he woke John to take it over, who latter woke Jax, who latter woke Folcon for the last few hours.

Not finding it, thier owner sighed heavily. Shane walked over to a fountian and lay back on the edge, stretching out in the bright sun and revaling in the heat. It was one of his few pleasures, as it was the time he wasn't working. But soon, the sun would go down and whatever creatures of the noght were here would be coming out.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        But that didn't bother the day-walker. What bothered him was the fact that he had apperently missed his querry. He had not seen the one he was looking for all day. He sighed again, it had been a week since he had receaved word that Folcon had been freed from Hel's service, that he was free to presue the one he cared more about then life itself, who's blood tasted most sweet upon his lips. He had heard from sorces that Folcon had been seen in Payon, now he was trying to find him.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        As the sun began to set, his stomach growled, and a deep thirst filled him. Sighing once more, Shane got to his feet and left the square, looking for someone to slack his thirst so he could eat a real meal. He made his way through an ally way and found an old man leaning against a wall, coughing heavily. Shane silently appraoched the man and asked, "Sir, are you okay?"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        The man shook his head and coughed again, when the fit passed, he said, "No, I'm not okay young man. I'm dying. *cough cough* I haven't much more thena few days, or so say the healers in the temple of Thor."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Shane looked sadly at the man and whispered an enchantment to messmerise the man. He then lifted the man to his feet and tilted his head to the side, exposing his neck. Bearing his fangs, he sank them deep into the man's flesh, severing the juggular and drinking his blood deeply. The man sighed his last breath as Shane pulled away, a smile of thanks on the old man's face. Shane sighed and wipped his own face off with a peice of cloth. He then hurried off to the inn he was staying at to get some solid food. After he ate, he would start different hunt as he ferrited out whatever demons and vampires prey on the city.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Valia watched the creature walk away for a moment, then looked down at the amulet. Having no pockets, she put it around her neck and headed for the blacksmith's.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                          She silently entered and made her way to the storage room. There, she found her satchel, right where she left it. She folded her working dress and packed it away, along with a decent supply of food. She then slung the satchel over her shoulders and put on her cloak over it.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Just as Valia was leaving, the blacksmith came in from the backyard and saw her. "Valia! You're alive!" he shouted happily and gave her an enormous bear hug.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "Sir... you're... crushing... me..." Valia tried to say.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                          The smith let go and said, "You're all packed! What's going on?"
                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "I found a warrior to travel with," she explained vaguely.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "That's great! Where are you off to?"
                                                                                                                                                                                                                          She figured there was no harm in telling him. "Alberta."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "Valia, I'm so proud of you. You'll make someone very happy."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                          “Oh sir, I wanted to return these to you.” She removed the knives from her sash and held them out to the smith. “After all, I did just… take them.”
                                                                                                                                                                                                                          The blacksmith gently closed her fingers around the hilts. He said, “Then take them, Valia. They have protected you against that demon, and they will continue to protect you. Think of them as my gift to you for all that you have done for me.”
                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Tears began to well up in Valia’s eyes and she whispered, “Thank you… sir…”
                                                                                                                                                                                                                          “Now, go. You wouldn’t want to keep the warrior waiting.”
                                                                                                                                                                                                                          She nodded and stepped outside. She headed in the direction of the southern gate, turning back once to wave good-bye.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Vakkmirr stood outside the southern gate. Reminded strongly of how he had been waiting there for Folcon days ago. Folcon was a long way off by now. He might have already reached Alberta. But the children he had decided to bring with him would undoutably slow him down, and Vakkmirr didnt really have any reason to stop. Except, he reminded himself, for your new partener. He grumbled something about mortals being too slow and started pacing around the exit. Vakkmirr had never been known for his patience, much to Dincantus' dismay. It was not easy waiting on mortals, he had to wait on them to get sick and die already. As he thought this, a Gremlin poped into existence next to his boot.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                            "Master Death Knight, we have a sick old man with no more than a day to live near by, and you have been requested to recieve his soul."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Vakkmirr didnt even bother to look down att he Gremlin. "Let someone else handle it, im busy right now." The Gremlin shrugged and popped off somewhere else.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                            He senced the tingling on his neck and looked around again. And, not to his supprise, found nothing. This was getting more annoying than worrisome now. He was alone at the moment, and there werent that many people around right now. If he had to pick a prime moment to attack someone, it would be at this moment right now. Unless he was being followed to reveal the location of the rest of his party...
                                                                                                                                                                                                                            His thoughts trailed off as he sensed the girl approaching. trying to appear calm. Valia, he learned, was thinking very mortal thoughts. Such as memories of her time with that Smith, and her life in Payon until now. Very boring, boring mortal thoughts. He couldnt understand them. Technicaly, he didnt have a life, and he hadnt stoped moving anywere until a few days ago, so he could hardly relate.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                            "I thought i told you to not call me a demon again. Its very undermining." He said, grinning at the look of shock on her face as she heard Vakkmirr. "Now, can we please leave?!"

He can read minds, disguise himself... appear in front of temples? She didn't quite understand that power. What can this creature not do? she wondered. She reviewed the collection of curses that she could cast. Compared to Vakkmirr's powers, they seemed rather... weak. She stole a quick glance at him. He probably has more powers that I don't even know of! she realized with dismay. But then, she reminded herself to look on the bright side: At least he's my ally. She resolved to keep it that way. The first thing I need to do is stop calling him de- She stopped herself in mid-thought. She looked up at him and asked, "Do you have a name?"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Shane growled in irritaion. He had been prowling the streets for the last hour, and still he found nothing. Not, that that was a bad thing, just annoying. If there were no dark creatures here, then there was no point in staying. For some reason, he looked up then and noticed he was in front of a temple. Looking at the lintal over the door, he saw saw the symbols that denoted it as a temple of Thor. His curisosity piqued, he approached the temple. As he neared it, he felt a slight resistance and a light tingleing sensation. He took a few more steps, and the feeling passed. He walked up to the door and knocked firmly. The door opened and a tired looking man stepped out.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                "May I help you?" the man asked.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Shane nodded and asked, "I'm looking for someone, a friend of mine. About my hieght, wihte hair, a bit of a jerk, oh, and he has a pair of large golden wings growing from his back."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                The man looked at Shane for a moment before nodding his head and saying, "Come in."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Shane followed the man inside and they went into a simple room. There, the man stopped and said, "The one you are looking for, his name is Folcon, correct?"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Shane nodded and said, "Yes, is he here?"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                The man shook his head and said, "He was, but he left a few days ago after someone who called himself Vakkmirr asked for his help. All I know is, he left with two boys and mentioned something about going to Alberta."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Shane frowned at the name Vakkmirr. He knew full well who he was, and he hated the death knight. The creature was the imbodiment of his hate. An evil whose power was all but unrivaled. And whose head had a very large bounty on it. He didn't like this news. Why would Folcon work with such a creature? Had he finnaly been consumed by evil? Was he still the same Folcon he cared about and loved? And how did these two kids fit into it? He had to find out. If Folcon had truely turned evil, he would slay him. No matter how much it would pain him to do so. "You said south to Alberta?" he asked.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                The man nodded, "They left a few days ago."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                "Then they can't have gotten that far. Perhaps I can catch up." Shane thanked the man and turned to leave.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                "Be carful," the man said. "There is an evil in this city as of late."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Shane snorted and said, "If I come across it, rest assured, I will kill it." He then left the temple, went out the gates, and walked through the city, makeing his way toward the southern gate. If he hurried, he should be able to make it before it was closed. As he got closer, he pulled a cloak out of his travel bag and put it on, covering his face with the hood.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                At last the gate was in site, and it was still open. And standing in front of it, were two figures that radiated dark energy. "Mrikthire!" Shane swore, moving into the shadows and looking for a way around them. He didn't know who the girl was, but he had heard Vakkmirr's energy described enough to know what it felt like. And the girl, who had one arm reduced to blackened bone, felt almost as powerful. If he were to challenge them, he would not last agaisnt both at the same time. Sighing, he placed a hand to his temple and whispered the encantation that would activate his stealth suit and felt the magic flow through him, a cooling sensation, as his body was turned invisable. When the spell was complete, he moved as quitly as he could and started to slip past them.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Vakkmirr exitd Valias mind after aquick skim-through. Her past was definetly more interesting than her present, but perhaps that was about to change. He was rather disapointed that she did not use dark magic any more. That deficiated her combat value and overall usefull ness quite a bit. Perhaps that would change as well. At least she had decided to not run away. That would only make the journey longer.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  "Do you have a name?" Valia asked him.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  "What? Oh, yes, you may call me Vakkmirr." He replied quickly. It felt as if something had just passed by him. "I hope you are not like most mortals, I do not plan on stoping much until we meet with my partener." He internaly winced as he said this. Being asscoiciated with Folcon in any other way than destroying him, was bad enough. Addmitting it, he had found, was far worse.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  "Im glad you have decided to not run off, hunting you down would only make things take longer. To ensure this, I will only tell you part of our situation each day. If you stay with me, you will eventually be up to speed. Now then, we had better leave, my...partener, has had many days to get ahead of us, and we must reach him before he gets to Alberta." He had already begun walking when a sudden thought had occured to him.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  he turned back to Valia, who had stoped a short bit behing him. "Actually, I have a better idea. If I can get somebody to describe Alberta to me well enough, i might be able to telleport us there instantly."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  "Why cant you just telleport us ther right n ow? she asked.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  "Because ive never been there before!"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  After a few minuets of asking aroun town, Vakkmirr was confident that he knew enough of the surrounding area around Albeta to safely transport them there. He opened up a portal and turned to Valia.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Teleportation. At least that explains the 'temple incident', Valia thought. What she wondered the most about was the so-called 'partner'. Vakkmirr had mention it quite a few times, but never said the partner's name. She suddenly realized that Vakkmirr had never said her name, either. Undoubtedly, he knows it, she thought. She decided that there was probably a good explanation for that.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Vakkmirr proceeded to create a portal, presumably to Alberta or the surrounding area. "Coming?" he asked with a mocking bow. Valia narrowed her eyes at him. Lately, the vibe she had been picking up from him was not a hostile one, but now he seemed to enjoy mocking her and calling her 'mortal' or 'human'. She turned to him and said, "I'd prefer it if you called me Valia." Then, she stepped through the portal.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      "Insolence." Vakkmirr muttered as he watched Valia go through the portal. At least she was brave enough to back-talk him. She had gained points for that. "Fine, Valia it is."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      And so he steped through.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Half a second later, Vakkmirr reapeared next to a well traveled road, only to find that his feet were submerged up to his ankles in the dirt. He cursed the man who had told him how high this area was above the water, and with a few moments of grunting a pulling, was free.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      He glanced up at Valia, "mention that to anybody, and you will pay dearly."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Vakkmirr got up and looked around. "So, this is were the Avian was going, lets hope that he hasnt already gotten into town."

Just don't get scared off)

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Shane glowered as the death knight and his accomplice disappeared through the portal. Once it was closed, he turned back toward the road and took off running. If Folcon had left a few days ago, he had a lot of ground to cover to catch up. The miles soon rolled by as Shane ran down the road at a fast but steady pace that he could easily manage. Within two hours, he had already covered twenty miles, having only stopped for brief rests twice. He paused to get his bearing, then took off once more down the road.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Finally, just as dawn was approaching, he spotted a small fire near the side of the road and slowed down. He cautiously approached, focusing his senses and and concentrating on the voices from the encampment. He couldn't make out what was being said, but he could hear three distinct voices, and one of them sounded very familiar. He moved closer to the campsite and peered through the shrubbery. There, in the middle of a small clearing, stood a tall man wearing a cloak that covered his head and face, and his back was turned to Shane at the time. And the man was giving orders to two boys as they quickly broke camp.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "Hey Folcon," the red haired boy said, causing Shane's ears to perk. "Do you think we'll make it to Alberta by nightfall?"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        The cloaked figure shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you two don't lolly gag all day, we should get there before dark. I think." The man then pulled a map out of his cloak and unfolded it, casting back his hood in the process, revealing a head full of pure whit hair.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Shane grinned and pushed his way through the bushes, making a lot of noise in the process. When he stumbled into the clearing, he was met by the nervous looks of the two boys, and by the point of a sword, which was in Folcon's hand. "Hello Folcon," Shane said. "It's been a while."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Folcon woke John and Jax as the last of the night came to a close. If the map had been correct, the they should be in Alberta by tonight. He pulled out his cloak and threw it on, then started giving orders to Jax and John to break camp.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "Hey Folcon," Jax asked. "Do you think we'll make it to Alberta by night fall?"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Folcon shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you two don't lolly gag all day, we should get there before dark. I think." He then pulled out a map and unfolded it, casting back his hood so he could see it better. Suddenly, there was a rustling and breaking of branches and a figure stumbled out of the bushes. Folcon had his blade drawn in an instant and stepped forward. It was then that he noticed the bright orange hair the person had. The man looked up and said softly, "Hello Folcon. It's been a while."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "Shane," Folcon growled. "What the hell are you doing here?"


                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Shane's POV

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "I came to find you of course," Shane said, trying to sound innocent.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "Why," Folcon asked.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "To be with you, why else?"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "Why?"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "Because I love you Folcon," Shane said, with more emotion then he intended.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Folcon just snorted and sheathed his sword. "I don't know why. You did try to kill me before, remember?"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "Yes," Shane said, a touch of remorse in his voice. "I do remember. I also remember that night we spent together."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Folcon snorted again and said, "Don't delude yourself. It was a one time thing, at a moment of weakness."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Shane grinned and said, "You keep telling yourself that." He stepped right up next to Folcon and leaned in close, breathing softly onto the Avian's neck, causing him to shiver slightly. "And besides, I think that deep down, you love me too. You just don't want to admit.." Shane stopped abruptly at the felling of something pressed between his legs. He looked down to see Folcon holding a knife against him.


                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Folcon's POV

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "I'm not interested," Folcon hissed, pressing the knife a little harder against Shane's nether-regions. "And if you try anything further, you'll have a lot of trouble getting happy."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "Fine. Fine," Shane said, and backed away before eying Jax John with a speculative eye.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "Try it, and I will kill you Shane."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "Oh I see, you want to keep them all to yourself. You sure you can't share one. Young blood can be almost as sweet as yours is."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Folcon gave Shane a slightly disgusted look and said, "Your disgusting. That is not why they are with me."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "Yeah," John said. "We're only traveling with Folcon because we needed a change of scenery from Payon. And he said he'd take us to Alberta."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "That reminds me," Shane said, looking up. "I just left Payon last night. There's some death knight going to Alberta as well. I saw him just before I left. So, what are you doing working with that scum Vakkmirr? I had heard you wern't working for the half dead ***** no more. Which was why I came looking for you."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "You heard right, my contract with Hel is over. As for why I'm working with the corpse, he said Yaggdrasil was in danger. Thor showed up latter and confirmed it."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "You met with Thor?" Shane said, oviously amazed.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Folcon nodded and said, "Yeah, I did. He confirmed what Vakkmirr said, but couldn't tell me more then that. All the gods seem to be too busy with something else to worry about the great tree. So we're trying to find the shifting Fountain of Mimir so we can follow the root to the tree to see what is endangering it. These two joined of thier own accord for the adventure. And to learn something of sword use."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Shane looked at Folcon and said, "Wouldn't it be easier to go to the Well of Urd in Asgard?"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "Oh sure," Folcon said. "IF we can learn its location. And IF we can get to Bifrost. And IF we can convince Hiemdall to let us pass with a pair of mortal brats, a fallen Avian, a walking corpse, and a half breed valmpire. Thne IF we can find the well and convunce the Norns to give us access."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "That's a lot of ifs," Shane said. "I guess your right. The Midgard Root is the easist. I realy don't want to go down to Hel's realm and try to convince Nidhogg to let us past."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "Who said your coming?" Folcon said, glaring at Shane.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "I did, you'll want someone to watch your back around that deathknight and that girl with him that has a blackened skelatal arm."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "Fine," Folcon sighed, defeated.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "Besides," Shane said grinning, "I got to make sure he don't corrupt that sweet blood of yours. Which remenids me," Shane said, stepping closer. "I haven't had a bite since last night." He stopped when he felt the knife agianst his manhood once more.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "Go feed on a squirl or something." Folcon then turned and stalked down the road, leaving Shane to hurry to catchuup.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "Just what is he?" John asked.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "He's a unique type of vampire that can withstand sunlight and is immune to all other vampire weaknesses. And he kills demons and other vampires for sport, and money. To be honest, I am kinda glad he's here. His strength will help if Vakkmirr trys to stab us in the back."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        The group then fell to silence as they continued down the road, well except for Shane frequently asking for a drink and getting a flat refusal.


                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Shane's POV

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        As they stopped for a late lunch, Shane sat apart from the group and tried to control himself. The thirst was realy getting to him. He was just about to start meditating when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up and saw Folcon. The Avian leaned in and whispered, "Follow me." Shane nodded and followed Folcon into the trees for a few yards. The Avian then stopped and turned around to face him. He then pulled aside his coller to reveal his neck, causing Shane's eyes to go wide. "I only do this so you don't go made with hunger and attack one of the others. Just take what you need, and don't get any ideas."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Shane nodded and stepped up to Folcon, taking him in a slight embrace and nudging his head to one side. He then extended his fangs out and nussled softly against Folcon's neck before gently sinking them in, causing Folcon to grunt softly in pain. They stood like that for a few minutes as Shane slowly drank his fill, reveling in the sweet flavor that was the nector of Folcon's blood. Finally, he licked the wound clean untill the blood flow stopped and with a light kiss on Folcon's cheek, pulled away. "Thank you," Shane said, all the tention in him gone.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Folcon grunted and closed up his shirt, hiding the bite marks under the coller where they wouldn't be noticed. He then turned and walked back the way the had come to rejoin Jax and John.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "Where have you two been?" John asked.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "Takeing a crap, why?" Folcon said.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "No...no reason."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "Then if we're done here, let's get going. We should reach Alberta soon," Folcon said, and they headed off. Just before the sun set, they passed through the city gates.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        ((OOC - don't worry, this is as 'close' as things will be described by me. Nothing more then PG-13 here, I hope. But I can asure you there will be nothing even close to Lemon in this, or any, RP. A little implied stuff latter, but nothing serious. And if anyone realy has a problem with it. PM me and I'll edit. Also, starting in my next post, anything that might not be suitable for the youngest, ie: the relationship, will be put in spoiler tags and can be skiped over without loss of story.))

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          ((wow. uh, no, its alright. As long as it doesnt get past that point))

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Vakkmirr walked at a steady pace, with Valia trailing a little behind. He had left her alone for the better part of the day. He had considered another search through her mind, but he wasnt that bored, and it wouldnt be necesary, as he had learned anything important at Payon.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Ground-pounding wasnt realy a problem with someone like Vakkmirr. Though he did prefer telleportation, despite the risks of having your hand appaer in a tree, or coming out of your portal, only to find that you missed your target and ended up inside the heart of a mountain. He had heard many stories of things that had happened through the use of telleportation. And of cours, there was always the question of what would happen if you telleported inside of a living creature. Experiments had been done before, but had always failed, due to, spiritual, physical and mental incompatibilty. The results were always different and interesting. sometimes resulting in multiple limbs, insanity, or beings of incredible power and skill. But the last outcome had only been done once, and required near perfect teleportation triangulation.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Vakkmirr looked up to see a pair of city gates coming into veiw.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "Ah, and finaly our journey comes to an end. It appears that we have reached Alberta." He looked closer, and saw another group passing through the gates as he spoke. "And just in time too, it seems. My partener has arrived as well. And with another companion. Wonderful." he growled

Breathing through his nose, he grimiced and looked over toward the right, seeing Vakkmirr in his human desgiuse, and the girl he had seen in the smith's shop when he had gone. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Shane sniffing the air and glancing of to the left. "You sence somthing too, don't you," Folcon whispered to him as Vakkmirr approached.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Shane responded with a brief nod and said softly, "There's something evil in this town bedsides the corpse and his lacky. Something, powerful." He made a step toward the left and paused looking back toward Folcon.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Folcon just nodded and mouthed the words, "Happy hunting." Shane grinned and ran off. Folcon then turned his attention back toward Vakkmirr and grunted. "I thought I said I'd call you if I found anything. So why are you here corpse?" This last bit was said telapathicly.

"Besides, i have a new member to introduce."

As if the oxygen itself had been charged with a powerful energy. Folcon, he said telepathicly, there is something evil in this place. I fear our enemies have learned we were coming here.

As Vakkmirr introduced her, Valia bowed respectfully to Folcon. She quietly listened to Vakkmirr and Folcon talk and wondered when Vakkmirr would tell her the details of their journey. Hopefully soon; I will not follow him in ignorance much longer.

Folcon stepped in closer and said, "But if you try and betray us, you'll have to fight him as well. And he makes a living killing demons, vampires, and other minons of darkness." Folcon's face darkened as he said, "And beleave me, he's just as strong as me, if not a little stronger."

"Go do, what ever it is you do. We need some sleep." As he was about to go through the door, he paused and threw over his shoulder, "And I'd stay away from Shane when he's on the hunt. You probably won't want to see what he does to any demons he catches."

After a few minutes, he came to an alley and saw it. There in the shadows, stood a tall demon holding a motionless women in its claws as it lifted her to its mouth. Growling, he drew his shining silver sword and charged the demon as it bit the women's head off. He swung the blade and slashed through both woman and demon alike. The demon fell, screaming in pain as its torso fell from its legs, spilling blood and gore across the ground. The demon looked up at Shane and growled, bearing its fangs before trying to pull itself away.

"Cooperate, and I'll kill you quickly," Shane hissed.

"Good evening gentlemen, would you like a room?"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Folcon looked at the man before pulling back his hood and saying, "Good evening, Raven."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  "Folcon," the man stammered. "Wh-what are you doing here? We made a deal."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  "Relax," Folcon said softly. "I'm not here for your son. I'm out of that line of work. However, I need two things, information, and rooms for four."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Raven nodded and reached under the counter, taking out a key and handed it to Folcon. "I save that room only for speacial guests. What do you need to know?"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  "I need to find the Fountain of Mimir. And any local demon bounties."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  "I'll see what I can do Folcon," Raven said, before looking down and noticing Jax and John. "Who are the kids?"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  "Just a few friends a made. Latter, a man my hight with orange hair will show up. Directe him to our room."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  The man just nodded before saying, "I'll have whatever can be found sent to your room in the morning."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  "Thanks," Folcon said, then turned and went up the stairs.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    "Go and do what ever it is you do. were going to get some sleep." Vakkmirr heard Folcon say to him as he headed for a nearby inn.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    "What I do Avian," he said to himself "Is hunt down ignorant beings such as yourself, and end them."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    But he wasnt in that line of work any more. Wich was something he was still finding hard to beleive. He hadnt slept in hundreds of years. Didnt need to. He only got tired while fighting, and that was something he hadnt done in a while either.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Vakkmirr barely heard Folcon threaten him with the half-breed vampire pet he had accuired. He had no dout that the vampire was powerful. It was not just one demon's blood he had senced on his hands.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    He had only just remembered Valia standing next to him patiently, as if waiting for something. Then he rememberd that he had promised to explain everything to her once they got to Alberta.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    "You wanted to know why you had to accompany me, yes? Well, since were in Alberta now, I might as well tell you now. A few days ago, while on my way to finish Folcon off, I was requested an audiance with a freind of mine. He explained to me that unknown creatures were posing a threat to Yggdrasil, and were threatening to trigger Ragnarok. He also told me that I would need Folcon's aid in this quest, so I convinced him to hep me. He left for Alberta, were he undoutably found his Half-Breed freind along the way, I found you, and teleported here. As of now, we still havent encountered our new foes. But there is something here, something powerful. It could be them."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    " Thats about it so far." He grunted "I suppose you will want to be staying at the inn with the others then. Go, I will find something to do. Maybe look around for our new freinds."

So unless he knows of him by his reputation, Vakkmirr could not know that.))

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Folcon's POV

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      They entered their room and Folcon looked around, nodding. This would do. Half a dozen beds, a good size bathroom, a nice view of the city, a stocked kitchen. What more could he want? He glanced at Jax and John and nodded toward the beds, "Take your pick." The two boys picked the two beds furthest from the door and set their stuff down while Folcon continued to explore the rest of the large suite. Beyond the kitchen was a set of double doors that led to a large library and study. Hell, Folcon thought. This place is like a small mansion. Well, it is the penthouse suite. Finally he came to the master bedroom. Inside was a large bed. It was so big, that it dwarfed the established size of a king size bed. And leading off of that was a very fancy bathroom. Folcon just shook his head. He wouldn't be needing the bed. He really didn't care for such comforts. Now the books in the library, those he could appreciate. Such a collection must have cost Raven a fortune. Then again, Folcon had given him a few thousand gold when he had left last time he had been in Alberta.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Folcon shook his head and walked back into the main bed room. Looking around, he saw that John was missing. When he sent a questioning glance at Jax, the boy said, "John said he was going to take a bath. And frankly, I think he needs it." He paused and sniffed the air before saying with a grin, "Then again, I could use one too."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Folcon just nodded and said, "Whatever, you can go next. I'll just use the master bath." He scooped his bag off the floor and walked back to the master bathroom, latching the door behind him. He knew the boys wouldn't bother him, but he didn't trust Shane if he showed up while he was still in there. So he latched the door and moved a heavy chest in front of it, then proceded to strip and start to run the water in the tub. When it was nice and warm, he closed up the drain and waited for it to fill to the level he desired. He would have preferred a shower, but as nice as this place was, it wasn't equipped with one. It never had been. Folcon sighed as he climbed into the hot water. Raven really was a *******. He lay in the water motionless for a while, his wings billowing slightly around him, just soaking in the heat and letting it soak out the aches and pains he had collected on the trail. After a few more minutes, he sat up and began washing himself. He started with his hair and scrubbed shampoo into it, then dunked his head under the water and scrubbed vigorously until it was all out. He then proceeded to take a cloth and soap and wash his arms and chest, before working on his back and working his way down to his legs.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Finally, he started on his wings, reaching into his bag and pulling out a bottle of a special oily soap that he made for cleaning them. He poured some of it onto a fresh cloth and began to gently rub it into his wings and feathers, revealing in the pleasant feelings it caused. He hadn't had a chance to wash his wings in weeks, and they really need it. As he washed them, loose feathers came out and fell away. Folcon collected them together and set them in a pile to dry before continuing. Finally, he took out a comb and combed his hair that had long since gone tangled. When it proved to be too much effort, he took out a knife and began to cut it shorter. In minutes, his shoulder length hair was now cut down to just above his ears, which he preferred anyway as he had grown the hair long at Hel's direction.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Folcon shook his head to get the memory out of his head and put away the knife and pulled out some scissors to clean the hack job up. Soon enough, he had the hair evened up and looking fairly good. Too bad it ain't enough to keep Shane from recognizing me. Folcon shook his head again and leaded forward, pulling open the plug in the drain and watched the dirty water swirl away. Was I really that dirty? Folcon thought. As the last of the water drained away, he turned the tap back on and used the clean water to wash any hair off himself and rinse off any other soap or dirt he had missed. He then turned off the tap and got out of the tub and toweled off.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      He took out a clean set of clothes, although with nothing but greys and blacks, it was hard to tell if they were clean, but at least they smelled clean. He pulled on a clean shirt and vest, forgoing the jacket for now and stepped into a clean pair of pants. Maybe I should update my wardrobe, Folcon thought. He then shook his head and picked up the pile of feathers and carefully counted them, finding thirty-one. He then placed them in a leather pouch and put it in the bag, then put his other things in except for the filthy clothes which reeked. He pushed the chest out of the way and opened the door and walked back toward the main bedroom.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      There, he saw Jax and John sitting on two of the beds and talking quietly while a cozy fire had been lit in the fire place. Folcon walked over and tossed the filthy clothes into the fire and watched them burn with a slight grin on his face. He really was glad to be rid of them. He then walked over to a further bed and sat down before leaning back and stretching out on the bed.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      "You change your hair," Jax said. When he got no response from Folcon, he said, "Looks better." Folcon just grunted and turned over to face the two boys.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      "It's getting late, go to bed."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      The boys nodded and got under the covers and were soon asleep. He could tell from here they must have been enjoying the beds, as oppose to sleeping on the ground. Enjoy it while it lasts you two. Chances are, you won't get much more then a day or two of it.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Folcon continued to lay there awake, waiting for Shane to show up so he could talk to him. He didn't have to wait much more then an hour. There was a gentle knock on the door and the sound of a key turning in a lock and the door opened. He heard a muttered word of thanks and Shane stepped into the room and closed the door behind him.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Looking around, Shane whistled softly and walked over to Folcon's bed and sat down. "Nice digs you got here. Who'd you have to kill to get them?"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Folcon pushed Shane off his bed and sat up. "Five demons, three werewolves, and a wyrm. And spare the innkeeper's son."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Shane looked at Folcon for a moment before bringing a hand up and placing it against Folcon's chin. When he didn't resist, he leaned in closer and brought his hand up, running it through Folcon's hair. "You cut your hair," he said. Folcon just grunted. "It looks better." Shane leaned in closer and tried to nuzzle against Folcon's cheek.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      "Stop," Folcon said softly, placing a hand against Shane's chest.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      "But.."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      "I told you Shane, I'm not interested."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      "You should really learn to except the love of others Folcon."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      "The last time I did that, they died a horrible death. After that, I swore I would never fall in love."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      "Are you sure," Shane asked, trying to get closer.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      "Shane, get your own bed."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      "But I like this one."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      "There's a perfectly good bed in the master bedroom. Why don't you go sleep there?"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Shane pouted a little before withdrawing from Folcon. "Very well. Just so you know, something big is going on in two days. Something real big. And it involves some high level demons."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      "How good is your source?"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      "Oh he was quite good. Dead now, but good. And he didn't taste too bad either."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      "You keep saying stuff like that and people will think you are a demon and not just some day-walker."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Shane shrugged his shoulder and walked toward the door that would take him to the master bedroom. He paused at the threshold and said, "You know I'll try again tomorrow night right?"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      "You can try, but you won't succeed," Folcon replied.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      "We will see," came the reasons. "We will see." And with that, Shane left the room and closed the door behind him.

They were a big change from the Payon streets, wich were simply dirt. But he wasnt paying much attention to the streets themselfs. Rather, he was watching the streams of energy weaving through them. Something powerful had moved through them.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        The enrgy type was difficult to place, so he guessed that it was a shape shifter perhaps. Hopefully there wasnt a Half-Troll in the area. That would be problomatic.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Vakkmirr narrowed his eyes as he watched a hooded figure pass through a nearby alley ahead of him. He griped his sword tighter in his guantlet and walked up towards the alley. He saw nothing, but thought he heard some strange wispering around him. Vakkmirred stayed in the alley until the wispering fadded away, then continued his rounds throughout the town.

Once she saw an inn, she decided to put off her browsing for a while. She entered and asked how much a room was. She found that she could only afford a simple room for one. That's alright, she thought. That's all I need anyway. She found her room easily, one bed with a small bathroom. At least it was clean. She wondered if she should tell Vakkmirr where she was staying, but decided that he probably didn't care. Even if there was an emergency, I'm sure he could handle it by himself.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          She stopped worrying about Vakkmirr and instead thought about Yggdrasil and Ragnarök. What was threatening it? Why now? She thought about it until she grew tired and fell asleep.

Vakkmirr had been through the city 3 times, comitted the layout to memory, then whent throught it 3 more times, until the sun began to show over the vast ocean nearby, and the town's residents awakened from there sleep.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Vakkmirr closed his eyes and attempted to sence his commrades energy over the one throught the city. He was suprised to find Valia in a seperate inn, for he had thought she would be staying with the others.

The people here in Alberta did not give him looks of terror and such as the residents of Payon had. The port city must have seen its fair share of odd sights before.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Vakkmirr internally debated as to wich inn he should visit. He detested working with Folcon, or any mortals for that matter, so he went to the inn Valia was staying at. After all, she was, technicaly traveling with him, even though he had half hoped she would join Folcon when they reached Alberta. Not many people willingly traveled with an Agent of Death.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            He approched the inn and sat down in front of it, watching the sun rise with a grimace.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Valia woke early, as was her habit. She was slightly confused at finding herself in an unfamiliar place. As she became less drowsy, she remembered that she was in Alberta, traveling with Vakkmirr to find the World Tree. She had a light breakfast of some of the food she packed, assuming that they would be heading out right away. As she gathered up her things, she suddenly remembered the first conversation she had with the Death Knight. She had only agreed to travel to Alberta with him. At the time, she did not have much choice, but now...? She had found out his motives: Something was threatening Yggdrasil and they were to find it and stop it. It occurred to her that this was an unusual thing for someone like Vakkmirr to do. She had expected something... evil. Like assassinating someone. Since it wasn't... should she still go with him?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Stopping Ragnarök would save countless lives. There aren't many other things that one could do that would be as noble, she decided. That and... backing out now would be cowardly. Filled with new confidence, she headed to the front desk to check out. As she approached, she felt a familiar dark presence. Vakkmirr? She looked around the room, but didn't see him. He must be outside. Waiting for me. She slowly shook her head at his impatience and checked out.

He got up and glanced at the empty beds that Jax and John had slept in. The beds were neatly made and neither boy was in sight. Shaking his head at the foolishness of youth for being up so early, Folcon walked into the kitchen and looked around. Jax and John were sitting at the table eating bowls of oatmeal and Shane was standing at the stove, wearing only a sleeveless shirt and pants, cooking something that gave of a very pleasant aroma.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                "About time you got up," Shane called from the stove. "The sausage is just about ready. But you can't eat until your bed is made."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Folcon gave the day-walker a very level look and said, "You're joking. I ain't a kid Shane You can't make a requirement to eat."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                "First of all," Shane said. "Your still a kid to me cause I got a few hundred years on you. Second, I'm cooking, so if you want to eat, you have to do as I say. However," Shane smirked. "If you don't want to make your bed, you could always join me in the bedroom and.."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                "I just go make my bed," Folcon said, turning around and walking out of the kitchen.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                "When you cook, you can set whatever requirement you want," Shane called as the door closed.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Making the bed didn't take long, all he had to do was smooth out the sheets and blanket and toss the pillow to the head of the bed. Shaking his head, Folcon returned to the kitchen and sat at the table, just as Shane set down two plates of eggs and one of sausage. Shane then pulled of the shirt and walked out of the room saying, "I'll be back, go ahead and start without me."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Folcon didn't really hear him, he was already spearing sausages and dropping them on his plate. He then dug into his food with evident satisfaction. Shane walked in a few minutes latter with a new shirt on and sat down. "Glad you like it," he said, watching Folcon eat. Folcon only grunted in response and grabbed another sausage. Shane sighed, shaking his head, and began eating.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                When the food was gone, Jax and John cleared the table while Folcon lounged back and Shane gazed at him. Finally, Shane said, "Do you like me Folcon?"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                That is a loaded question, Folcon thought. And he would have to choose his words carefully. "I do like you Shane but," he said as Shane started to get up, "only as a friend." Shane sat back down, a look of sadness across his face. "The fact is," Folcon went on, "I'm just not ready to love anyone at the moment. Perhaps, if this crisis can be averted, and we live the next few hundred years, then you could come back and ask me."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                For some reason, this caused Shane to laugh hysterically. After a few minutes, when he calmed down, Shane said, "That's bull **** and you know it."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Folcon smiled sadly and said, "Then at least give me a few more years, I'm still getting over Mary's death okay?"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Shane got up and walked over to Folcon, pulling him to his feet and embracing him. "I'll hold you to that," he said softly.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                "I'm still not promising anything," Folcon replied.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Shane nodded and let him go then stepped away. "I suppose we should find the corpse and his cohort, shouldn't we?"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Folcon nodded walked into the common bedroom and pulled out his new katana and strapped it on. At this point, Jax and John came in with thier swords at thier sides. Folcon eyed them for a moment then nodded. He felt resonably sure they could handle their blades now. It was just a matter of whether or not they could kill. Folcon shook his head to clear it of the annoying variables he could not control and headed out the door with the others behind him, pausing only to make sure the door was locked. They then went down stars and passed Raven at the counter. Folcon paused and mtioned for the others to wait for him outside. They nodded and left.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                "So what do you have for me," Folcon asked.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                "I haven't found anything on the fountain yet, but here is the list of bounties you asked for," Raven replied, handing Folcon a thick stack of paper. Folcon eyed it with surpirse, there had to be at least fifty or sixty here, if not more. "There have been a lot of sightings and attacks in the last few weeks. Most tend to keep to certan areas of the city and country side, but several are stirring up troble everywhere as the fight for teritory. No one can realy stand up to them."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Folcon nodded and tucked the large stack into his bag, Shane would be interested in them, and they would need the money for any other inns they stayed at. "Anything else," Folcon asked. Raven shook his head and Folcon thanked him before walking out the door to join the others. Outside, he took the stack out and handed half to Shane. "Here," he said, "have some fun, and take John with you. I'll take Jax. Try and get some information out of them before you kill them."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Shane just nodded and headed off in one direction with John following him. "Just what are we going to be doing," Jax asked.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                "A little demon hunting by daylight," Folcon responded, loosening his blade from its sheath and looking down at the first page of bounties that he had and the location the demon was last seen. Nodding, he started off in the opposite direction as Shane, Jax following close behind.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                #128   Ironsight

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Vakkmirr grumbled as he got up. He had watched Valia go and do whatever it is people did these days, but didnt follow. Rather, he had decided to focus his efforts on the energy he had senced last night. That was 3 hours ago, and he hadnt moved since. So far, ecxept for a few small changes, nothing really noticeable had happened, so he decided to find out what the others were doing.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  I miss my old job, Vakkmirr thought to himself as he walked. were I never had to stay in this world for more than a few hours. Saving the worlds is a mortals responsability. Why did I deside to visit Dincantus last week? And why am I even traveling with these people?
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Though Vakkmirr knew the answers all to well. There were two reasons. One, was that even he was supposed to be destroyed during Ragnarok, and he currently was enjoying his state of existance. Two, was that, being a rather powerful inhabitant of Nifflehiem not completely under Hel's control, he was ideal for the job. Dincantus had forced him into this whole mess. He hoped that the day Vakkmirr ran out of favors that he owed to the old Mage would come soon. These requests were getting more ridiculouse by the decade.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  He stoped walking as he saw Folcon and one of the children he had brought with him walk downs an adjacent street, he turned towards them and quickened his pace. There was no need to announce his presence, Folcon would easily be able to sense him appraoching. The boy let out a small groan, but other wise made no outward comments about Vakkmirr. Vakkmirr dove into the boy's easily enterable mind to find out what was going on, as Folcon had learned to sheild his from Vakkmirr long ago.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Demon hunting?! He thought, suprised. So there was a reason for coming here after all.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Apparently, Folcon found out about Vakkmirrs infiltration, because he heard a "What do you want, Corpse?" from outside. Vakkmirr inwardly sighed and withdrawled from the boys mind. He turned to Folcon. Who was giving me a hard glare.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  "You'll have to teach the boy how to sheild his mind someday," Vakkmirr said, completely ignoring Folcon's question "Some of the more powerful Demons can read minds you know. Many a Bounty-Hunter has fallen due to a Demon's seemingly precognetive abilities."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  "You should know." Folcon spat at him
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Vakkmirr grinned "How about you give me some of those flyers in your pouch, and ill be on my way."

He thumbed through them and selected a few that were nothing more then nuisance's that likely wouldn't have any info anyway and tossed them toward Vakkmirr. The death knight caught them in the air and glared at Folcon.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Folcon then poked Jax in the shoulder to get him moving and they continued down the road. "You need to be more careful," Folcon said when they were a few blocks away. "Dead bones is right about that. When we get back to the inn later, remind me to start training you two in mind shielding." Jax nodded and they continued a little farther down the road until they reached a small shack. "This should be the place," Folcon said, looking at the flier. He placed his hand against the door and it opened smoothly. Too easy, Folcon thought, as he took a step toward the door. Just as his foot was through the entryway, there was a growl and he was tackled at the waist. Folcon fell backward and slammed into the ground, as a strong pair of hands wrapped around his neck and squeezed.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Instead of fighting the grip, Folcon's hands went down to his belt and pulled out a knife. He then slammed it into the demons side, causing it to cry in pain and let go, backing off. Folcon rolled up onto his feet and got a look at the demon. It was the one they were looking for alright, a lizard demon that was almost as tall as Folcon was, and lots of teeth. Folcon drew his blade and charged the demon before it could fully recover, ramming his shoulder into its chest and slamming it back through the door and into the far wall. The lizard demon moaned as it slid to the ground. Folcon was on it in an instant. Pulling out some more knives, he drove them through the demons hands and feet , pinning it to the ground and causing the demon to scream in pain. "Shut up," Folcon said, punching the demon in the chest, causing it to gasp in pain and glare at him. Folcon leaned in, just out of range of the demon's sharp teeth and said, "Tell me what I want to know, and I'll kill you quickly. Don't, and, well, let's just say I have all day to kill you." The demon visibly swallowed and nodded, and Folcon began his first of what would be many interviews.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Less then ten minutes latter, Folcon walked out of the shack and sent a small fireball into it. causing the shack to burst into blaze. In seconds, the shack was reduced to a smoldering pile of ashes and he stuffed the demon's head into a bag and headed off toward the site to reclaim his reward and set out for the next bounty.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Vakkmirr watched Folcon walk away from him, never taking his narrowed eyes off of the avians neck, while he fingered the hilt of his blade. After some moments of struggling to regain self-control, Vakkmirr forced his gaze down onto the small wad of papers in his gauntlet. After a quick rifle through them, Vakkmirr was forced to calmly walk into a nearby alley and vicously punch a wall.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "That, ignorant Avian scum!" Vakkmirr growled. "Does he doubt my power?! He knows that I would be more than a match for him if we fought! I will not take these petty insults like a lowly Gremlin!"
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          After several more minuets of boring a good sized hole in the wall, Vakkmirr had calmed down enough to walk out of the alley. He glanced at the papers again. The Demons were useless, all low-ranking grunts that were the least likely to know anything. And the Avian had known too. That was ecxatly why he had handed Vakkmirr those flyers.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "Whatever," He growled, stuffing the flyers into a bag on his belt, "At least it will pass the time until something interesting happens. If im lucky, maybe one of the Demons the Avian is hunting will injure him..."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          After several previouse stops, Vakkmirr slowly strode through some streets, shoved into a corner of the port city. It was, Vakkmirr decided, the equivelant of a slum. The streets werent as clean here, and there were alot more people crowding around the score of shops. At least, thats what Vakkmirr thought, until he saw a sign on a post that said, "Shoping District" on it.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          So, Vakkmirr thought to himself, this is what Mortals do in there spare time. ood place to find a pack of Demons.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Vakkmirr's attention was caught by a large tent, shoved out of the way of the crowd. Its exit apppeared to be an entrance to another alleyway, and energy radiated from it.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          A jewelry shop?
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Vakkmirr cautiously appraoched the tent and looked inside.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "Yessss," Vakkmirr heard a hoars voice say, "Bahndinn will buy your charm!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "You have angered Bahndinn with your weapon. We will get our charm now!"
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Vakkmirr chose that moment to enter the tent to find two people inside. One had his sword drawn, wearing a dark blue Uniform, perhaps a sailor. The other was covered in rags, its face hidden. The person behind the desk stood up, revealing to be quite tall.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "Bahndinn told Human to come alone! Now niether of you will leave!"
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          The rags fell of the body of the Demon know as Bahndinn, revealing a muscular, somewhat hunch-backed beast, with pitch balck eyes, brown skin, and a very large, gapping mouth filled with crooked, pointed teeth.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Behind his faceplate, Vakkmirr smiled. Finaly, some good sport!
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          The man in blue ran out of the tent, dropping his amulet as he went.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Bahndinn lunged at Vakkmirr, who jumped two the side, and then brought his sword down on the Demon's ankles as it flew by. The demon screamed in pain, but quickly recovered revealing a pair of extendable claws. It aimed a large swipe at Vakkmirrs head, who managed to doge in time, but couldnt avoid the second swipe, wich nocked him into the air a few feet. On the ground, Vakkmirr rolled aside to avoid the Demons next attack, wich was to bring both claws down on were Vakkmirr was lying previously. Unfortunatly for poor Bahndinn, he had tried to bring his claws back up to quickly, and couldnt dodge Vakkmirrs stike to his side.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Bleeding profusely, the demon moaned. "Bahndinn gives up fight, what does tall warrior want? The jewelry? Take them!"
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "No," Vakkmirr said slowly, "I want information."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "Ask Bahndinn, he will tell!"
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "What are these trinkets for?"
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "Bahndinn does not know! Bahndinn buys from humans, then gives to master!"
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Vakkmirr narrowed his eyes "Master, what master?"
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          The demon let out another moan, "Bahndinn does not know, very tall warrior, like you."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "Thank you, Bahndinn, your neccecity has ended now."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          He raised his hand, "Ice Shard"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          A few moments latter, Vakkmirr emerged from the tent, a pair of Demon knuckle bones in his bag. He crumpled up another flyer in his guantlet and tossed over his back, examinig the next paper.

However, the streets were deserted. Odd, she thought. Where did he go? I could have sworn that I felt his aura before... She closed her eyes to concentrate and tried to sense him. Yes... I feel small traces of his aura. He must have been here a short while ago. The aura traces made a pretty neat path toward the shopping district. He must have had a pretty strong purpose for going there. She decided to follow him.

Looking around, he saw no one. He closed his eyes and sniffed the air, Yes, there was defenatly a demon in here recently. He took out his sword and moved further into the room to better examin it, John following a short distance behind. There, sitting on a table was a meal, still steaming. Stopping next to it, Shane sniffed the air and grimiced, human flesh. Apart from the table and a chair, there was nothing else in this room except a stairway to the next floor. "Stay here," Shane said, moving toward the staircase. Shane walked up to it and placed one foot on the stair, testing for noise. He proceded this way slowly up, not making a sound, untill he reached the top. There, he came to a hallway with three doors leading off it. He stopped in front of the first and listened, hearing nothing, he moved to the next door, again, he heard nothing. Finnaly, he moved to the last door and listened quietly. Inside, he heard raspy breathing. Smileing, Shane stepped back and kicked open the door, hitting it with enough force to tear it off its hinges, and ran inside as a muffled scream sounded. There, he saw the demon, which looked like some sort of cross between a bear, a man, and a wolf. It was holding a small girl in a ragged dress hostage with its claws at her neck.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              "Let the girl go," Shane said.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              "Now why would I want to do that, she's my next meal when I finisheating her parents," the demon responded.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Shane brought his sword up and said again, "Let the girl go."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              "When she makes shuch a good shield, now that would take the fun out of it."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              "The girl means nothing to me," Shane said. "I'm here for your head. If she dies, its of no consiquence other then something to clean up. Let her go, and your death will go much easier."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              "Do I know you," the demon said, "You seem familer."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              "Name's Shane, the day-walker," Shane said, smirking at the look of terror that crossed the demon's face. So his reputation had spread this far.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              "I'm just trying to eat," the demon pleaded.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              "Then buy some meat, or kill some poor ass farmer's cow. I will not tolerate those that feed on human felsh."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              "Says the half-breed, wannabe vampire," the demon sneeered, then gulped at the glar that Shane sent him.

Let the girl go and tell me what I want to know, and I'll make your death swift."

"You want me to let a meal go, tell you something I probably don't even know, and then submit quietly to death? Ha!"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              "That's option A, option B, you resist, the girl dies, I capture and torture the information out of you, and then kill you. Or option C, You resist, I get the girl away from you, then torture the information out of you before killing you. Personaly, I'd rather go with option A. It's less work for me."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              "You forgot about option D," the demon said, "I kill the girl, throw her corpse at you and escape out the window."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              "Into the waiting blade of one of my partners, another of which is at the bottem of the stairs and another one outside each of the other windows. There's no escape."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              The demon growled and said, "I will not die," and threw the screaming girl at Shane.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Shane caught the girl and tossed her to the side, onto a nearby couch, and charged the demon. With an upward slash, he severed the demon's right arm, and on the return swing, took off the other. The demon roared in pain and fell to its knees. Shane grabbed the hair on the back of the neck and yanked the demon's head back. "Now," he said. "Tell me where this demon meeting is going to be."

Besides Bahndirr and one other demon, killing these grunts was no real challenge.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                The grunt let out a squeel as its arm and shoulder was seperated from the rest of his body, then fell to his knees and joind the rest of his comrads on the ground. Once again, the information he had gained from them was useless. Every demon had told him the same story, and it wasnt exactly a riveting one. It seemed as if Folcon had gotten what he wanted. Vakkmirr tortured with boredom.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                He headed back to town, dropped off the rest of the flyers at Valia's hotel in-case she wanted to finsh them off, and headed to were Folcon was staying to wait.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                On his way there, Vakkmirr spied something that actualy made him stop. Another one of the hooded figures he had seen the night before. Something is happening soon. he thought some kind of gathering. Im going to have some questions for the Avian when he returns.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Valia followed Vakkmirr's trail until she came upon the dead body of a demon. The traces of dark aura got mixed up with decaying demon and she could no longer follow it. She gave up and went back to the inn to see if Vakkmirr had returned there.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  She took her time going back, looking at the street vendor's wares as she strolled past. She knew that she couldn't afford any of it after paying for the inn. She hadn't earned money in a long time; she preferred her wages be in the form of food and shelter. Once she got to the inn, she saw once again that Vakkmirr was not there. She sighed, deciding that finding him was hopeless, but again picked up fresh traces of his aura. He had been here moments earlier! Alright, this is getting annoying, she thought with anger. Does he or does he not want me to travel with him? Then, she remembered the winged man, his 'comrade'. Is he trying to tell me to travel with him instead? But that doesn't make much sense either...

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  As she was pondering, the inn clerk stepped out and said to her, "Excuse me, is your name Valia?" She said yes and the clerk said, "A warrior wearing black armor asked me to give these to you if you came around." He handed her some flyers and went back inside. She shook her head, realizing that she would never understand Vakkmirr. Valia thumbed through the papers and saw that they were requests to dispose of a few lesser-demons. Noticing the reward that each flyer promised, she decided that they were worth doing. The rewards were small, but they could add up quite a bit. At the very least enough to pay for food and inns, and probably enough extra to buy some armor or a few amulets. She headed toward the location of the first job, hoping to get as many done before meeting with Vakkmirr again. Whenever that may be, she thought.

He had gotten no useful information out of the demon. So after taking its head, and pocketing the few valuables left in the house, he had a choice to make. What to do with the girl. She had no one to go to it seemed. Her entire family lived in this house it seemed. In the other two rooms up stairs, he had found the rotting remains of several people, some nothing more than bleached bone. So it was either just leave her here, or take her with him and find a place to dump her, cause Folcon wouldn't be pleased about him bring some stray home. And chances are, there were some orphanages around a city as large as this. Sighing, he dug some clean cloths from one of the dressers and gave them to her, telling her to change while he waited outside, afterall, he wasn't some perv that got off on watching girls, or anyone really. Besides, he only had eyes for Folcon. A few minutes latter, the door open and the girl stepped out wearing a set of cleaner clothes then the ragged dress. Shane then took her by the hand and lead her down stairs where John was waiting, and they walked outside.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    "Where are you taking that girl?" a voice shouted.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Shane glanced over to see a portly woman hurring over. "Mommy," the girl called, letting go of Shane's hand and running up to the woman. "This nice man saved me from the demon."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    The girl's mother glared at Shane and said, "Where were you taking my daughter demon. Only another demon could have beaten tha monster."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Shane sighed, he really hated when people thought he was a demon because he was so strong. "I am not a demon madam. I was hired as a demon hunter to clear out some of the demon infestation in this city. He wasn't that strong, or at least, not overly agile compared to me. As for your daughter, I had been under the impresstion that the bodies in that house were her family, so I was going to take her to an orphanage. That she has a family makes me happy. But you might want to have a few people go in there and clean it up before the bodies attract vermon and spread desease. Just make sure they have strong stomachs. Its not pretty in there." Shane then turned and walked away, handing the demon's head off to John while he sheathed his blade.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    When they were a block or two away, Shane said, "Well that was pretty much a waste of time. Except for saving a girl from a horrable death and getting rid of some mid-grade demon, and picking up a few trinckets worth selling, it was a total waste. Oh well, at least we get paid for bringing in its head."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Vakkmirr exited the building that appeared to be a town hall of some sort, or maybe it was a jail? He was having atough time telling mortal dweilngs apart from eachother. The only reason he recognized the inn was because it was fairly large.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      He pocketed the coins he had recieved for his efforts into another pouch on his belt. Of course, he didnt really have any need for money. Not since he bacame a Death Knight. He never had to eat or drink, and didnt need to have a place to stay, as being an Agent of death required to be able to constantly be mobile. Perhaps he would hand them off to somebody else.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      He walked inside and turned toward the clerk. "Were is Folcon staying?" he asked
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      The clerk looked him over "Im ffraid that I cant diclose any iformation about my customers. Now, are you looking to rent a room?"
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      "Were is Folcon staying?" Vakkmirr repeated
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      "I already told you, I wont say anything. Who are you to ask such a question anyway?" The clerk demanded angrily
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Vakkmirr leaned in close to the man "I am a Death Knight, in the service of the lady Hel. Now, were is Folcon staying?"
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      The clerk's emotions betrayed him. He visibly paled, and Vakkmirr didnt even need to enter his mind to hear his thoughts. Oh no! Shes come for my son! he heard
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      "Penthouse, top floor." the clerk said shakily, handing him a key.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Vakkmir turned and headed up the stairs, pleased that his status as a Death Knight worked so well on normal people. Once he reached the top floor, he used the key the clerk had given him to open the door. Inside, Vakkmirr looked around, impressed by the greed of humanity. The suite was enourmus, but there was little that actually interested him, exept for a few books in the library. He looked upon these with interest. It would be interesting to see a mortals view in life, and what comes after that. he decided. He selected a book from a shelf, and sat down on a nearby couch to read.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Folcon through the streets of Alberta, tired and very pissed off. He had collected the bounties on nearly everyone he had and all he earned in the process was the confirmation that, yes there was going to be some gathering of demons, it was going to be tomorrow evening, and it was going to be held somewhere in the western district. And he had brought in a combined total of about seven hundred thousand gold, which would cover his expences for a long time, even with two other mouths to feed, three, if he counted Shane.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        The annoying part was, the sudden decline in demon activity would surly alert those of this meeting. And chances are, it would change location and time. Folcon knew he had eleminated some demons that had closer connections to what was going on, but they weren't coopertive and died before he could wring the information out of them.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        He looked up and realized it was starting to get dark. It was about time he and Jax returned to the inn. With luck, Shane and John had had more luck. And hopefully, shane was able to get a feeding off some demon, and not some inocent bystander.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        After a few more minutes, they arrived at the inn and entered.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "Oh Folcon, thank the gods your here. Please forgive me," Raven said, running up to Folcon.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "Raven, what's -,"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "A monster, some sort of demon. It came in and demanded to know where you were staying. I couldn't help it. I was so afraid. I was afraid he would take my son. So I gave him a key to your room. He's still up there, planning something most foul I'm sure."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Folcon's eyes widened in surprise, then narrowed in iratation. "This demon, was he about seven foot tall, wearing dark armor, and stank of death?" When Raven nodded, Folcon said, "It's okay, I'll take care of it. Here," he said, tossing Raven a pouch of about twenty gold coins, "Hope that covers any problems." Folcon then turned around and headed up the stairs to the penthouse and opened the door.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        He looked around the quiet front room and saw no one. It was then that he noticed a light in the library. Signaling Jax to stay behind, Folcon walked quietly into the library. There, sitting on a couch, was Vakkmirr, his attention burried in a book, with a stack of others next to him. Folcon walked up behind Vakkmirr without being noticed and glanced over his shoulde to see what he was reading, then smiled in amusment, the book was nothing more then a book of old fables and fairy tales, but it was likely that Vakkmirr may not have known that. "Good book," Folcon asked, stepping back at the last moment as the death knight jumped.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "Folcon! I did not here you enter" he said quickly, sheathing his sword. "It might not be the best desicion in your life to startle a Death Knight. It might have very bad repurcusions on your body."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Folcon's grin didnt waver. "Doing research eh?" he asked, reaching for the book Vakkmirr had dropped.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "Fiddel's Fairy tales for children?! Vakkmirr!" he scoffed, "I thought you were reading up on better ways to murder innocent people!"
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "Or I could always pracice on you." Vakkmirr growled, he then cleared his throat loudly. "Besides, I was doing reaserch. This book had a few references to Ragnarok, so I thought that I would loook into it. And besides, all you mortals decorate your books the same, its not my fualt I didnt recognize it as a Children's Book!"
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          He silently fumed as folcon walked back out to the main room, audiably chuckleing to himself alon the way. Vakkmirr watched Folcon leave, then selected another book from the pile he had assembled, Making sure it wasnt another Fairy-Tale book. The title was:
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          The Goddess, Hel, and the Thirteen Death Knights. Interested, Vakkmirr opened it.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Many know of the goddess of death, Hel. But few know of her most powerful servants, the Death Knights.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          There are 13 in all. 11 are known to the residents of Midgard. Thankfully, the final 2 have never set foot in our realm, as they are far more stronger than the rest. Their names are: Archril, Decos, Bogmirr, Vakkmirr, Vannirr, Vanddirr, Stiintall, Ogmass, groupont, Xelkan, and Tinntend. They each wear their signeture black plate-mail armor, making it dificult to tell them apart. They are all around 6 to 8 feet tall, and all carry viciouse rune blades, wuth names such as Fleshrend, Frostrip, and Maimfrost. Along with there swords and armor, Death Knights are gifted with Signeture magic, including, but not limeted to: Firing shards of Ice from their hands, becoming invisible, reading minds, and more.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          The Death Knights were rumored to have been once mortal men. When they died, they were given a choice, stab themselves again with a runeblade, thus sparing them from Nifflehiem, or they could accompany the soul-catcher to the realm of the dead, along with the other lost souls. The ones that took their own life with the runesword were tricked though, and instead, had there souls shattered, with most of it hidden in remote locations or objects. The only peices of soul that remained were Hate, Rage, Logic, and Determination. What was left of their body was encased in a metal shell, there armor, and there memories wiped of all past experiences.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          They were sent straight into training once the transformation was complete. When finshed, the result was a near emotionless engine of destruction, capable of only just that, never giving up on their prey until the job was finished.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          The Death Knights quickly arose to infamy in both realms for there abilties and traits. They are called Grim Reapers by some, and are even worshipped by others in the barbaric lands.

The Half-Breed vampire would be arriving soon, and they would need to share the information they had gathered with eachother if their first strike was to be succesful. He would also have to find Valia, she was in on this quest as well.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          He focused his mind through the rage, and sent a Telpathic message to her. Drop what your doing now, we are meeting at Folcon's inn in a half an hour.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          He stepped into the main room with Folcon and one of the boys. They both gave him odd looks, but didnt say anything. He stood by the door and waited.

All had tried to fight her, but she easily dodged all of their attacks. Even with her short-ranged knives, she left each battle without a scratch.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            She collected her rewards and took another look at the flyers to see where her next job might be. Just then, she heard Vakkmirr's voice in her head, saying, Drop what you are doing now, we are meeting at Folcon's inn in a half an hour. She was so surprised, she dropped the flyers that she was holding. Then, she realized that she probably wasn't supposed to take his order literally and she picked up the papers again. Stuffing them in her satchel, she decided to spend the half hour trying to find Folcon's inn. She closed her eyes, and tried to sense Vakkmirr.

Everyone arived and Folcon gets a room at an inn while Shane takes off to investigate a dark presence. Next morning, Folcon collects a list of bounties and splits them between himself and Shane. They each take a kid and go hunting. They kill some demons and all are now at, or heading back, to the inn that Folcon and his freinds are staying at. They have learned that a meeting of some sort is to be held soon and it involes several demons. And Folcon has mocked Vakkmirr some more. I think that about sums it up. And that profile ain't up yet.))

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Shane threw his opponent against a wall and slammed a fist into its face, knocking out several teeth and a fang.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    "You're a traitor to your kind," the pure breed hissed through clenched teeth.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    "I never had a kind," Shane responded, ramming his knee into the vampire's stomach. "My kind was meant to be humans, but you vampires took that away before I was ever born. I will hunt down every last one of you blood suckers and destroy you all."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    "Pathetic day-walker. Do you really think you can kill all vampire kind on your own."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    "No, but I will die trying if it will protect people from scum like you."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    "Don't be so hypocritical," the vampire said, just before Shane delivered a roundhouse punch to his face, sending it flying into a wall and crumbling to the floor. "You still need to drink blood like the rest of us to survive. Your no better then us."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    "I am better then you," Shane said, stepping forward and picking up the vampire by the throat. The vampire struggled in his grasp, weakened by it many wounds. "I fight to protect those that I can, who can not protect themselves, I don't fight for personal gain. My only desires are to rid this world of as much demon filth as I can, and to spend the rest of my days with the one I love, even if that one will not return those feelings."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    "Such desires will make you weak," the vampire gasped, as Shane carried it over to a covered up window.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    "Perhaps," Shane said. "But at least I can enjoy the sun." He then threw the vampire through the window and out into the sunlight, listening to its screams as it burned to death in the light of the ball of fire. When the screams ceased, Shane stepped outside of the ruined, by lavish home and walked over to John, who was toeing the smoking remains of the vampire. "Come on," Shane said, looking up at the sky. "Its starting to get dark. We need to get back to the inn, and I need to feed.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    John looked nervously up at Shane, who smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry. I promised Folcon I wouldn't touch you guys, remember. Hmm, now if I could just find someone who...," he trailed off as a young woman walked past the house they were in front of. Hello, Shane said to himself.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    He strolled up to her and said, "Hey sweet thing, how about we go over to your place for dinner and a good time?"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    She responded by kicking him in the crotch and storming off, muttering "Jerk."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    John just shook his head and said, "Can't you find something after we get back to the inn?"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Shane snorted and said, "I'll try." Knowing full well that he would have a hard time convincing Folcon to share some blood again. He'd just have to sneak out latter and find someone to feed on.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    They soon arrived at the inn and entered. Shane was briefly surprised to find the desk empty, but passed it off on the fact that the innkeeper was probably at dinner with his family. They walked up the stairs and just before his hand touched the knob, Shane paused and felt the air. Vakkmirr, he thought, growling softly as he pushed the door open and entered..

It was faint, but she still managed to pinpoint its location. Apparently, Vakkmirr was in the very top room of an inn with many floors. Hoping that she found the right demon, she entered. This inn was a lot nicer than the one she stayed at. As she climbed the stairs to the top floor, the aura grew stronger. She could then tell for sure that it was Vakkmirr's. She climbed the final flight of stairs and saw a man with orange hair let himself into a room. She followed after him.

Vakkmirr muttered as the Half-Breed walked through the door, followed moments later by Valia. "I was begining to think you had run off."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Vakkmirr's comment was rewarded with an angry glance from everybody.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "Are you ok? Folcon asked the Vampire, who nodded in responce. But Vakkmirr could tell he was lying.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "Ok, we all gathered here to share what we learned from our bounties, Vakkmirr, since you were so impatient to start, how about you go first?"
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "Fine," Vakkmirr grunted, as everyone turned to face him. "The Demons that I hunted down were collecting simple trinkets to drain the magic from. Obviously this is to provide energy for the summoning. They all report back to leuitenants and such for delivery. Im certain one of the leuitenants is another Death Knight, wich means that Hel has a hand in this." He shrugged "But thats not realy anything we didnt know already."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Morris stepped through the streets of Nifflheim. The stench of death he was so familiar with filled his skull. He walked through the dark alleyways, glancing at the shadows moving through the place. ( I'm picturing this like the bit at the beginning of spirited away, with the shadows walking through the town) He didn't mind them, as he knew they couldn't attack him, and if they did, their soul would be split.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          He didn't know why he was here, and what he was doing, but he seemed perfectly content with wandering around aimlessly. He stepped into a side alley, where he saw a corpse propped up against a wall. Ignoring it, he continued down the alley, oblivious to the dark figure following him. He turned a corner, the humanoid figure catching his eye, but he ignored it. He came out of the alley, and continued down the main street. He glanced back, and the shadow was still following him. He walked faster, eventually breaking into a run.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          He twisted and turned everywhere, ducking into alleyways and jumping out a moment later. He sprinted forwards as fast as he could, smiling to himself. The spirit grew closer, and looked as it was about to lunge, Morris laughed, and was gone. He appeared behind the spirit, laughing with sword in hand, and cut the spirit down. That was the thing with his sword, it could fight the ethereal beings, and cut shadow as well as slash flesh. He continued walking down the street.

When he had given him the bounties for demons wanted for petty theft, he had not imagined Vakkmirr would be so succesful. Shakeing the feeling off, he said, "All I've been able to learn is that there's a meeting of demons tomorrow night and there will be some high ranked demons there." He turned to Shane and asked, "What about you?"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Shane shrugged his shoulders and said, "Pretty much the same thing except there's going to be some 'special guest' there. But I couldn't beat out who. It might be this Death Knight Vakkmirr mentioned. Or they could be making a virgin sacrifice or something."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            "Hey Folcon," Jax said. "I'm hungry, when are we going to eat?"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Folcon sighed and waved his hand in a complicated gesture, causing five plates of food to appear. "I'm assumeing you don't need anything," he said to Vakkmirr.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Caael approached the graveyard at the gates of Nifflheim. He blinked past the gates, and through the gaunt and dank yard. He went up to the biggest and grandest grave of them all, a temple erected out of the ground with stone angels surrounding it, as if for protection. He walked up to the door, slashing one of the angels absently. Big mistake. The angel shut it's eyes, and when it opened them, he was no longer stone. Infact, all 10 of the guardian angels came to life, to stop him from entering the tomb

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              " You shall not enter the tomb of Shal'thranas, the famed Necromancer." The main angel said in a deep voice. They drew all kinds of curved blades and bows. They all advanced on Morris.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              He drew the short sword he so favoured from his jacket. He wielded it in a way only Morris could describe. As the first angel approached, he slashed it away, assuming it dead. Unfortunately for him, it didn't die, and came at him with 2 curved scimitars. It slashed his shoulder, but did minimal damage and caused him only to flinch. This time, he plunged the sword straight into it's neck, twisted, and slashed left and right, beheading it. It fell to earth, stone again, with a pained expression on it's face.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              " Heh, this wont be so difficult after al- Woah! " He sidestepped an arrow, following with 3 more. The barage continued, but he blinked behind them, impaling the firing arm of one archer on his sword, stopping him from firing arrows. Then 2 sword angels approched and stabbed through his ribs, and twisting, cracking a rib. Morris shouted in pain, and cursed him not reacting in time. He decided to use what he called the invisible tactic. He kept blinking everywhere around the battlefield, then he stopped beside all 3 archers and kebabed them all on his sword, giving an overhead strike and throwing them off the sword. They all had the same expression on their face as they plunged to the floor, stone again.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              " 6 left, ugh.." he thought, clutching his broken rib.

"No, Avian. I do not need to eat. I have not had to eat in many years."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Vakkmirr turned and occupied a nearby chair. He was rather disapointed. Ironicly, Vakkmirr had been given the lowliest assignment, but had found out more than the others.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                He watched the others dive into their food. What was food like again? As he had said, he had not eaten anything since ha turned into a Death Knight. He didnt have a mouth technically, so eating wasnt even truly possible. He thought about the other part of his soul, hidden away somewaer off, but stoped and shook himself. Why did he even care? It wasnt as if he needed a complete soul. He was much better off without it. The emotions that came with it would only get inb the way with his duty. Wich, technicly, he didnt have anymore as well.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                To get his mind cleared again, he pulled out the book he had taken from the innkeeper and opened the book, reading up on: The Death Knights and The Dullahan; a war between warriors

"Are you sure your OK Shane?" hr asked.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Shane looked up at him with a pained expression behind half-lidded eyes and nodded.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Folcon could guess that look. You haven't feed today, he asked telepathically. Have you?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  No, came the response. I haven't had a bite since breakfast.

I'm sure you can find some homeless person or a thief to feed on. This city's big enough.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  I was kinda hopeing you might-

He soon finished and stood up. "I'm heading out. I need to look for something," he said, walking to the door.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  When he was gone, Folcon turned toward Valia and said, "So you're the one the corpse recruited."

"He chased me out of the blacksmith's shop with intent to kill me. Then he cornered me and just when I was just about to fight him, he decided to make me his ally." She shook her head thoughtfully and said, "Come to think of it, the whole ordeal was rather random." She stole a quick glance at Vakkmirr to see if he disapproved of her sharing this information.

Then turned back to his book.

There wasnt actualy a war. It cames close however, during an argument near Hel's plalace.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      The Dullahan and the Death Knights each hold different advantages over eachother, yet are both similar. They are believed to be cousin species in the Undead Race. They are Both, in somesorts, Possesed Armor. However, the Death Knights are unable to remove their armor, as their spirits arent as bonded with their armor as the Dullahan. However, the Dullahan arent as intelligent as the Death Knights, who use strategy, rather than brute force. The Dullahan dont have powers either, yet they have numbers, while their Death Knight cousins are only Thirteen in number...

The Dullahan were foolish to think they could fight us, that they deseved our rank and renoun. Good days...

But seeing the food made him think about other things he had only just gotten his mind off of, so he went into another room for an inspection of his armor.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      He got up from his seat and walked into another room on the other end of the Penthouse. Sitting down on a nearby bed, he began to loosen the leather straps on his arm that held the Plate layer of his armor on. He set the tarnished metal on a desk, and closely examined the metal rings of his mail armor. Then, finding no irregularities, he picked up his plate guantlet. He narrowed his eyes at a small gash on his wrist peice. He sighed, and reached into his belt, and pulled out a small sphere. He muttered a few words, and the sphere began to glow with a blueish hue. He unscrewed the top, and watched some metal wires crawl out. The metal wires instantly targeted the break in his guantlet, and heated wite hot. Then dived for the hole, instantly melted and sealed it.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      After looking over the rest of his armor, and sealing up anymore potential breaches, he sealed the jar up and stuffed it back into his pouch, then headed back into the main room.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Folcon rolled his eyes and said, "If you didn't hear the first time listen up. It takes place some time tomorrow evening, unless our little hunting trip has caused their plans to change. So until then, you might ass well get some rest. As for me, I need to do a little research." Folcon then turned away and walked into the library. Inside, he came to a rolling ladder and pushed it along its track until he came to the section he wanted. Then he climbed to the top of the ladder and pulled out a book from the top shelf. It was an old, dusty volume that hadn't been opened in years, probably because it was written in the old rune language of the Avians. Apart from himself, there was probably no one other mortals that could read it. And from what he knew of the gods, chances were, Odin, Mimir, and Thor would be the only gods who could read it.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Folcon descended the ladder with the book in hand and took it over to a chair were he sat down and traced the runes with his fingers, softly reading the title;

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Shane prowled the streets, as silent as the evening breeze and searched for someone to slack his thirst. Folcon was right of course, a city of this size was sure to have its share of thieves and homeless, two groups of which no one was likely to miss.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            But after the end of the first hour, he had found no one. The streets were deserted, which was strange, considering it was still early, relatively. It was still in that gap of time after sun down that was between twilight and full dark. Surly there should have been someone out scurrying home, but he saw no one. It was as of the streets had been swept clean of everything unsightly, like the homeless. It was after thinking this, that Shane realized it was more so then he had thought. Looking back, all the streets he had traveled down had been completely empty and clean. No signs of people, trash, or even dirt. What had happened.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            He was about to leave the alley he was in when he saw shadows walking down the main street. He quickly moved back and listened, trying to pick out what they were saying, which was hard because one spoke with a heavy lisp, and the other had a voice like rocks grinding together. Demons, he thought.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            After they passed the alley, Shane slipped out and began to silently tail them.

When they finaly came to a stop in frontof a building near the port, Shane ducked back behind the corner of another building further back and watched them. The two demons approached a door and one of them knocked. A panel slid open in the door and Shane heard a muffled exchange. Then the door opened and the two demons entered.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  When the door closed, Shane ran forward and around the building, looking for a way in. Finnaly, he found a window on the far side of the building and peered through the dusty glass. Inside, he saw a gathering of demons clutered around some sort of alter. And tied to a post near the alter was a young woman.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  "Damn," Shane swore softly. Standing up, he moved away from the building and tired to contact Folcon telepathicly.

But before he you get past the first few runes, Shane's voice erupted in his head.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  In one of the older buildings near the warf.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  All right. Stay there. I'm coming.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Hurry! They'll be sacrificing the girl soon.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Folcon stooped, picked up the book, and set it on the table before hurring back to the common room. He burst in and said loudly, "Time to go corpse. We have work to do. That meeting just started. Want to crash the party?" At a look from Vakkmirr, Folcon turned to Jax and John and said, "You two stay here." He then grabbed his katana off the table and ran to the window and opened it. "Go to the warf," Folcon called to Vakkmirr, "it's in one of the older buildings. I'll meet you there." Folcon then jumped through the window, opened his wings, and took flight.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  #161   Ironsight

It was older than the rest, and looked as if the furniture had not been replaced in a while. It was, cool, dark, isolated. Just what vakkmirr wanted. For the first time in several hundred years, Vakkmirr felt he was finaly beging to relax. In the darkness of his room, polishing his sword, Vakkmirr let out a sigh.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Of course, then the Avian had to ruin the whole thing with his shouting.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Vakkmirr jumped, startled by the Avian's shouting.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    He grumbled to himself as he ran to the room he had left Folcon reading. Arriving just in time to wach him jump out the window, katana in hand. "Head to the Warf!" Vakkmirr heard faintly from outside.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    It seems that something has disturbed the Avian. The meating perhaps? But thats not until tomorrow. Ah, but they must have moved it up to today. Vakkmirr thought to himself. He was just heading for the exit when he remebered Valia. She will want to come too. Darn mortals are always slowing me down.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Ignoring the protests of the inn's Night Keeper, Vakkmirr quickly strode up to Valia's door and knocked on it loudly. "Five minutes girl! The meeting is tonight!"

Out of nowhere, a knock came at her door and Vakkmirr's voice said, "Five minutes girl! The meeting is tonight!"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      That was a bit unexpected, she thought. The meeting wasn't supposed to be this soon... ah, well. She repacked the few things she had taken from her satchel and threw her cloak back on. She was ready in less than two minutes. She tucked the knives in her sash and left the room, locking it behind her.

Pick up the pace before we miss all of the fun." Vakkmirr growled to Valia, as he broke into a full out run.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              A few minuets later, they came onto a werehouse looking building, with the main window smashed in. Vakkmirr sighed. "The idiot should have waited for us before he dived into the enemy.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              He could sense energies only produced by his kind, so his prediction of a Death Knight in the area was correct. He hoped it wasnt Ogmass. He had heard that Ogmass had traded his RuneSword in for a War Club. Sure enough however, as soon as he kicked the door open, a squat, spiked figure stood there waiting in front of him, leaning on a wicked looking club.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              "Vakkmirr," Ogmass said "you betray us! Too bad, you held such promise." he shook his head. "Well, looks like we need a new member, I'm afraid i'll need your sword." He raised his guantlet, as if he expected Vakkmirr to surrender
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              "My sword stays, Brute!"
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Ogmass nodded and lowered his hand "Then I guess i'll just have to take it from you by force then. That was the plan anyways. But know this: If you attack me, then you will no longer be welcome within our ranks. You will no longer be a Death Knight. And you will no longer be an ally. The end of days is comming Vakkmirr, wich side do you want to be on?"
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Vakkmirr hesitated for half a second. Joining with Ogmass would mean he could get his job back. He could finaly finish his matters with Folcon. He would no longer be forced to travel with mortal rats. However, Hel had taken something from him. Vakkmirr wasnt sure why, but all of a sudden, he wanted that something back. Anyother day, he would have laughed and told everyone he was better off with out his soul, and he half beleived that. Why he had this desire was unknown, but he knew that if Ragnorok happened, everything will be destoyed, including him. He would rather be on the side that wasnt trieng to commit suicide.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Vakkmirr unsheathed his sword, wich glowed brightly in the dark of the front werehouse room. In the backround, Vakkmirr could here the screams of demons as they fell, and the grunts of pain from the half-breed and the Avian, as there own enemies fought back. He could hear Valia near the door, chanting a spell under her breath. He closed his eyes and said to Folcon, telepathicaly: We have arrived Folcon, now the fun part happens
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Ogmass gripped his own weapon, then said: "Very well then, Betrayer. You have chosen your fate! And it is your doom!" And with that, the two entities of Death attacked each other.

Powerful ones too. Valia knew that she would be overwhelmed easily. Picking two demons that Folcon and Shane had slain, she held her hands over them and chanted in a forbidden language. Then, the demons stood and tuned on their own kind with a ferocity that only the undead possess. Valia commanded the risen demons to stay close to her. Though the enemy demon's numbers were falling, it seemed to make them even more desperate to kill their attackers.

"You should not have given up your sword, it only makes you slower. You call me betrayer, and yet you forsake your blade?" he said, before Ogmass' shoulder dove into his stomach
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  "Times have changed, Vak." Ogmass replied "But you are still as arrogant as ever!"
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Vakkmirr barely raised his sword in time to stop the Hammer from crushing his helm. He grunted as Ogmass' enormous strength began to over come him. Rather than foolishly try to fight back, Vakkmirr stepped back, and gave a heavy push, causing Ogmass to lose his balance, and giving Vakkmirr enough time to fight back. Vakkmirr quickly slashed with his sword, but Ogmass somehow recovered faster that he had expected, blocking with his wrist guards. He kicked Ogmass, then dove forward, sword ready to penetrate. The blade cut through Ogmass' armor with a screech. Ogmass groaned as Vakkmirr roughly pulled out his sword, watching the black smoke ooz from the wound like blood. Ogmass retaliated by using his hammer to blow Vakkmirr into a pile of crates on the other end of the room.

Ogmass asked. "Its just a Rouge Death Knight, a Lost Avian, a Half-Breed, and a Witch against the armies of Hel and Loki. How could you posibly think you could win?"
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  "You ask me a question like that, and yet you speed youself towards your own destruction by aiding them! How do you think you will survive Ragnarok?" Vakkmirr repliad as he pulled himself out of the pile of crates.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Ogmass waved his finger at Vakkmirr, as if educating a child. "Ygdrassil. Its the key. We climb the Great Tree, and we are saved from anihalation."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Ogmass replied to Vakkmirr's quizical look by shouting "Earth Shock!", slamming his hammer down into the ground with such force that it broke the ground. The shockwave moved through the ground towards Vakkmirr too fast to dodge. He cried out as a pillar of earth rose below him from the ground, hit the ceiling, then crumbled, causing Vakkmirr to fall into the crevase it came from, then be buried under its rubble. Ogmass luaghed at him throughout the entire attack.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Beneath the rubble, through the pain, Vakkmirr's mind was racing. Something was wrong. Ogmass had always been strong, but he had never been that strong. And the Death Knights had never learned any new magic besides the ones they were trained to use. The only ones that had done that were the two others. Ogmass was right, times were changing, and if he were to win this fight, then he would have to change as well. that little pinprick Vakkmirr had inflicted on Ogmass wouldnt even slow him down.

Having cleared a breif circle around himself to breath in, he looked around and saw Shane as he slipped inside a demon's guard and sank his teeth into the demon's neck, then ripped it out, causing blood to fount everywhere. Folcon grimiced slightly before turning around and cutting down another demon.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Suddenly, a shout went out, "Quickly, sacrifice the girl. We must set the summoning in motion!"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Folcon looked up intime to see a group of demons drag the girl up to the alter, at the same time, the air roared as the ground shook. Folcon looked over and saw Vakkmirr get pumelled and burried by some sort of earth-based magic. "Shane," Folcon yelled. "Get the girl and get the hell out. I'm going to help Vakkmirr."

"If Vakkmirr is dead corpse," Folcon said, his blade comming to a rest against the death knight's throat, "then you're in big trouble. I'm the only one allowed to beat him into the ground."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Shane ran toward the alter, sming his silver sword around him, cutting a large swath through the demons, until he came to the first steps and the girl was pushed onto the dias at the top. One of the demons reached down and ripped open her shirt, causing her to scream loudly as it briefly foundled her. Then it raised a cruel looking knife and got ready to end her life.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    But before it could do so, Shane drew back, and hurled a half-dozen silver knives at the demon and those around it. Four of them hit demons around it, while the other two plunged into it throat and knife hand, killing it instantly, and sending the knife skittering away. Shane dashed up the last few steps and grabbed the girl under one arm, and switched his sword to his other hand. Then he ran for the nearist exit, cutting down all the demons that got in his way. In moments, he kicked open the door, and ran into the night with the girl still pinned beneath his arm, a trail of demons running after him.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    After running a few blocks, Shane ducked into an alley and set the girl on her feet. She stepped away from him and shyly tryed to cover her chest. Shane just snortted, took off his cloak, and aprroached her, setting the cloak around her shoulders, and covering her half-nakedness. She was about to saysomething when the sound of aproaching demons caught Shane's ears. He quickly pressed her against a wall, shielding her with his body and gripping a corner of the cloak, and whispered the spell that would activate the camoflauge of his cloak and clothing, hiding the both completly as the demons ran past.

He was supprised to find Folcon holding his katana against Ogmass' throat. "Folcon! What are you doing! I can take him myself!" That was a lie, and he could tell even Folcon new it, black smoke ((This is the Death Knight's version of blood)) was pouring out of him every were from small breaches in his armor. Sections of it were even crushed.

"If your freind could not defeat me, then what makes you think that you can?" he asked Folcon

"And who said I was going to use this blade on you. No, I have something far better for a corpse like you. A pity, I was going to save it for Vakkmirr, but, you will have to do."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Folcon grinned and said, "This. Adun Toridas." Suddenly, Folcon's sword hand burst into flame. And the fire traveled from his hand and along the blade, engulfing it. And as all who stood near watched, the blade grew bigger and bigger, until it was twelve feet long and rippling with fire.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "What," the death knight began, as the flames traveled around Folcon now, covering him like armor.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "Surely you recognize it. This is the Blade of Musspull, the the sword that belonged to Surt. Tell me," Folcon said, as the flames flared even brighter, "do you really think this is just a 'toad-sticker' now?"

He could see that Ogmass had suddently lost his nerve. Anybody besides a Death Knight wouldnt be able to tell, but there was a slight change in stance, a tightening of the joints. Ogmass didnt like that sword, apparently. The Armor of a Death Knight was strong, but it was still metal, and like all metals, it melted.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "Surt's blade wont help you. Even I can see you havent full mastered it yet." Ogmass said.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Vakkmirr wasnt quit sure what to do now. He could either use the distaction Folcon was causing to take Ogmass down, or he could let Folcon take out his opponent for him. He groaned. Some of his Fingers werent working, and he couldnt even use his left arm, his sword arm. "Folcon, do what you will, but let me strike the finishing blow!" However, he knew Folcon wouldnt listen.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Ogmass glanced quickly at Vakkmirr, "If you are implying that he will defeat me, then I will show you how wrong you are." He raised his hammer again "EarthShock!" he cried.

Swinging his sword downward, he slashed the wave in two, with the halves crashing on either side of him. "You're right." Folcon said. "I haven't fully mastered it yet. But on the other hand," Folcon went on, as his leather gloves peeled away from the heat, revealing the gauntlets Thor gave him, "With this gift from Father Thor, I don't need to." Folcon then spun the blade over his head and slashed at Ogmass, slicing deep into the deathknght's armor.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Ogmass shrieked in pain as he dropped his hammer, black smoke pouring out of the wound that was glowing a fierce red. Folcon dashed forward and with an upward swing, slashed Ogmass open a second time, now leaving a gapping hole from which a huge cloud of smoke erupted out of. Then, Ogmass fell to the ground in a heap.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            "As I said," Folcon said, the tip of his sword hovering over the helmet, "I'm the only one allowed to beat up the corpse." He then plunged the blade into the helmet, shattering it. Turning away from the rapidly rusting remains, Folcon spun the firey sword in his hand and muttered, "Delinguos," and the flame instantly went out and the sword shrank back to its normal size. Slidding the blade back into its sheath, Folcon looked around. All the demons were gone, the floor covered in ash. Then from a corner, Valia cautiously stepped out. Folcon nodded to her and stepped up to Vakkmirr. "Time to get up corpse," Folcon said, lightly kicking Vakkmirr's armor, elicting a dull ring. "We still got work to do."

How did I end up in a corner? She released her spell's hold on the two undead demons, who collapsed as if they had been dead all along. She thought back to the heat of battle. As the demons were advancing, they kept driving me back. Eventually, I must have ended up here, was the conclusion she came to. After the last of the demons had died, she stayed out of the way of Vakkmirr's and Folcon's battle with the death knight. Now that the battle was over... what would happen? She saw Folcon kick Vakkmirr along with the words, "We still got work to do." She relaxed, glad that Folcon had a plan.

"Get up, Corpse, we still have work to do."

"What are you doing?" Folcon asked as Vakkmirr half limped over to Ogmass' fallen armor. "Ill need these for repaires, unless you know somebody around that can forge undead plate-mail." he grunted back. Vakkmirr quickly gathered up the peices and stuffed them in a bag.

Right now, for the fist time in centuries, Vakkmirr was dead tired.

And yet, a small crowd of people had gathered outside, awaking from their nearby homes upon hearing the screeming and crashing. Vakkmirr gave angry stares at everybody he could see as he moved through the croud.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    After several moments, their group was wearily climbing the stairs to their room. Upon opening the door, Vakkmirr was rather suprised to find two very angry and worried children waiting for them. But Vakkmirr was too tired to deal with them, so he left Folcon to take care of them instead. He hurried to his room, closed to door, and sat down on the bunk. He opened the bag were he had stuffed Ogmass' armor, grimacing as he removed the peices. What he was doing was equivelant of scavenging, but he needed to replace the crushed parts of his armor before he was needed again. After he had removed all of his plate armor, he traded crushed peices for Ogmass', and used the melding jar on his broken and breeched parts. After two hours of tediouse work, Vakkmirr was fully repaired. However, the new suit didnt help him being exhuasted.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    His thoughts drifted back towards the summoning they had just interupted. Whoever they were trying to bring to Midgard was high level, and no doubt would have powerful minions. Once they learned of their part in the sluaghter, they would start activly hunting them. It would be dificult to keep their identities hidden. One of their number had wings, another drank blood, one had a skeletal arm, and he was completely covered in black armor. Besides, that crowd had seen enough, it would be foolish to hide if it wouldnt help. The best idea would be to move as soon as possible, but to were, he didi not know. Besides Alberta, they had no other leads.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Folcon just walked past him and into the master bedroom. Jax hurried after him and poked his head in through the door. "Folcon," he asked. "Is everything OK?"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Folcon, who was in the process of pulling off his shirt, glanced tiredly at Jax and said, "Ask me in the morning, all right. I'm tired. I need a shower. Just, leave me alone for a little while, alright?"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Jax nodded and left the room, closing the door behind him and returned to the common room.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Folcon finished changing out of his blood stained clothes and walked into the bathroom, groaning with the reminder that the room had only a tub and not a shower. Too bad I can't use my powers to create a shower, Folcon thought as he began to run the tub. Once the tub was full, Folcon climbed in and began his bathing ritual over once more. By the time he was finished, Folcon was half asleep and just lay stretched out in the tub, letting the hot water soak out some of the aches and fatigue from the fight. So exhausted was he, that Folcon didn't even hear the door to the bathroom open, nor the light foot steps that approached him. The only thing that gave him a warning, was a slight rustle of cloth, a second before two hands grabbed his shoulders and pushed him forward, causing him to jump.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      "Easy there," a voice said, that Folcon recognized as Shane's. "I didn't mean to scare you."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      "Well you did," Folcon said, trying to lean away from the touch.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      "Then you must be more tired then that kid said," Shane replied, gently pulling Folcon back and digging his thumbs into Folcon's shoulders, eliciting a groan from the Avian. "Very tired indeed."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      "Magic sword...really takes its...toll on your energy," Folcon said, leaning slightly into Shane's hands as they began to rub into the muscles of his back, working out the knots.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      "If that's the case," Shane said, tapping Folcon on the shoulder to get hi to stand. "Then I'm surprised you're still awake."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      "Me too," Folcon yawned, his arm now draped over Shane's shoulder.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Shane guided the still nude Avian back into the bedroom and set him on the bed saying, "Now lay back so I can give you a proper massage."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Folcon obediently obbied and stretch out on his stomach, too tired to argue. Shane bolted the door to the bedroom and returned to the bed where he stood over Folcon and contemplated what he would do next with Folcon in such and advantageous position. But a nagging voice in the back of his head told him Folcon would kill him if he tried anything, so he just sat next to the prone Folcon and restarted the massage. He began at the shoulders and slowly worked his way down Folcon's back, stopping half-way down and gently, but firmly moving along the wings, feeling for any tightness or tension in the muscles. Finding none, he continued down Folcon's back until he reached his waist. And just as he was moving his fingers down, Folcon said tiredly, "Stop there Shane, or I'll rip your arm off...or kick your ass...or something."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      "Sure you will," Shane said, moving his hands back to Folcon's shoulders and leaning in close to Folcon's ear.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      "Will," Folcon asserted, sounding for all the world like one of the children in the other room.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Shane came closer and whispered into Folcon's ear, "I still haven't fed yet. Do you kind?"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Folcon shook his head slightly and murmured, "No, but..nothing else."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      "Of course," Shane said softly. After a few moments, he said, "Are you ready?"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      "Just, *yawn* get it over with."

Drinking deeply for a few minutes, Shane then broke away and took a breath, before leaning in and licking the wound clean until the blood stopped.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Shane then stood up and pulled the covers over the slumbering Folcon, wiped his mouth, unlocked the door, and went into the common room. There, he saw Jax and John, asleep in their beds. Shane walked over to a chair near the fireplace and sat down to relax.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      About an hour latter, Vakkmirr came out of the room he was using, looking relatively no worse for wear and walked into the common area. Looking around, the death knight asked, "Where's Folcon?"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      "Sleeping," Shane replied. "And you're going to let him. If you need someone to talk with, I'm all ears."

He was however, disapointed to find that Folcon was not there. He noticed Folcon's Half-Breed freind sitting on a nearby couch. If any body new were Folocn was, it would have to be him.

He had little patience for insolence. However, he would have to suffer it for now. At least Folcon took him seriosly, and Valia listened.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "Fine, but tell the Avian we he awakes." He said, sitting down. The chair he was in held little comfort for him through his armor, yet it was one of the best things he had sat in, he decided.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        The half-Breed simply shrugged and sat up. "Now listen. I know Demons. Proboly more than anybody else here except for Valia. While I was fighting Ogmass, I noticed the magnitude of the sacrificial shrine. Whoever the demons were summoning was extremly powerful. Beings like that have powerful minions. There was a crowd outside of the Warehouse. Our involvment tonight will reach this Demon's ears soon. And once that happens, that Demon's minions will begin to actively begin to hunt us. The best plan of action would be to leave now, before anything else happens while were as exhausted as we are. However, Folcon's plan is unknown to me, and I have no current ideas."

"Your right, but i'm afraid you will have to wait until tomarrow, Folcon is sleeping."

"Magic Blades arent as fun as they sound," He said, smirking "It takes a long time to get used to the drain." He stood up "Im going back to my room. Summon me when Folcon awakes."

Nobody seemed to notice that she followed them. Even if they did, they probably wouldn't care, she thought. Once she got there, she promptly crashed in an empty chair. Even Vakkmirr looked exhausted. Dead tired, she thought to herself with a smile. She heard Folcon running bath water, and decided that she would ask if she could use it in the morning. She knew that it would be much better than the grimy, broken down bath at her inn. Vakkmirr spoke to Shane, but Valia was so tired that she could only hear half of the words. She gave up trying to stay awake and immediately fell asleep.

He was not used to this lack of energy.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            He closed the door to his room, and sat down on the bed again, leaning against the wall. Vakkmirr stared at the ceiling, his mind drifting to the day he had first met Folcon...

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            About 500 years ago:
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            There was something different about this man, Vakkmirr thought to himself from the overseer's room. It was then that he noticed that the man had a pair of Golden wings on his back, dirtied by the grime of the prison walls. He turned back to the entity behind him. "So, why was I summoned here again?"
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            The Overseer sighed with impatiance. "Hel wants to assign you a partner, as something of a punishment for that incident with that Dullahan last month. Dont worry, the others have been paired up to, so your not alone." He turned back to the stone tablet in his claws. "Resident #132598. Name: Folcon Reed Age: 409 Race: Avain-"
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            "Avian?" Vakkmirr asked "Yes, Avian." the Overseer gave him a look "You have not heard of them before? Im supprised. There entire race was killed recently. I had heard they had dispatched a Death Knight over there when it happened, apparently it wasnt you."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            "He does not seem to be dead, why is he here?" Vakkmirr asked, turning back towards the bird-man. "It says here he was supposed to go to Vallhalla, but traded places with is freind so he wouldnt end up here."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Vakkmirr snorted "Valiant, to say the least. And see how his devotion rewards him? With chains and a brand." Vakkmirr watched as two muscular demons approached the Avian with a branding iron. The man yelled out a cry, and delivered a kick to one of the Demon's crotch. The Demon moaned and dropped to his knees, while another Demon came over to help restrain the Avian. He screamed as the brand was applied. "At least he wont be totaly useless..."

When he was not hunting doomed humans with Vakkmirr, he was on personal missions for Hel, stealing men for her harem. Vakkmirr caught Folcon trying to save prey sometimes, but couldn't do anything about it, Hel wouldn't beleive Vakkmirr.

He went into service to Hel 500 years ago. So you could just edit your post to reflect that.))

Shane shook his head, irritated that once more, he had not noticed the young woman. Am I losing my edge? he wondered.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Shaking his head, Shane stodd up and walked over to one of the empty beds and took the blanket off. He then took it over to the chair and draped it over Valia before turning around and walking over to another bed and laying down for sleeep.

He looked around the room as he stretched his wings, and stopped as he realised that that tenion in his back that had been bothering him for that past few days was gone. "How did.." Folcon trailed off, as memory of last night came back to him, of Shane, him naked, the bed, Shane giving him a massage, then nothing. Folcon just remembered falling asleep near the end as he gave in to exaustion. Still, right now, although not entirly happy about the postion Shane had put him in, Folcon had to admit, he was fully refreshed, and reluctently admit, that Shane was good with his hands.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              With an irritated snort, Folcon pulled the last set of clean clothes out of his bag and put them on, then took the still bloody, and now starting to smell, clothes from last nights battle, and tossed them in the tub with some fresh hot water and soap so they could hopefuly soak out most of the blood. But if it didn't work, he could always conjer up some new ones, maybe he could go with some nice silk shirts, but shook his head. No matter what, it could wait untill later.

I had a tough week and wasnt able to think straight. Fixed it though.))

Perhaps that will come sooner than I had thought when I swore that to Folcon Vakkmirr thought to himself

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Vakkmirr, leaning against the wall in his room, did something that no Death Knight was ever suppsosed to do. But he was tired, and that was something he was not used to. How was he supposed to know what being on the verge of sleep was?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                It was the drop in temperature that woke him. The first thing he saw was a fine mist around the floor, then icicles hanging from the bunk and corners of the room. He got up cautiously. As far as Vakkmirr knew, mortal dwelings did not simply turn into a replica of Bifrost ridge.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                He heard something that sounded like jingling chains behind him, and turned around, only to see something that any living man would faint at the sight of.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                A Horse stood behind him, carrying a rider that appeared to be watching Vakkmirr. But this pair was not ordinary, for the horse had eight legs, and eyes that glowed with a lifless fire. The rider had legs covered in thorns, wich drew out a thick, pus like blood from the horse, and had a body that seemed to be made of pure shadow.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Vakkmirr wasted no time in reacting to the Nightmare standing before him. He dove for his sword, only to be stopped by the Nightmare. The rider jumped of its horse and tackled Vakkmirr, weilding a dagger of some kind. It took him to the floor, prepared to stike a finishing blow, but was foiled by a punch to the face. The Rider let out a scream of pain, giving Vakkmirr the opppertunity to take the dagger and plunge it into the Rider's dark chest. It screamed again, then dissapeared in a puff of smoke, the Nightmare along with it.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Vakkmirr woke up with a start, then punched himself for falling asleep like a fool. He did not have a need for sleep. Such weakness was for mortals. He took out his sword and wetstone, and began to polish the cracked surface of the blade.

Folcon and Vakkmirr were already awake. She stood up and a blanket fell off of her. How did this get here? she thought. She picked up the blanket and neatly folded it. She put it on the chair she slept in and went to see if the bathroom was available. The door was open. She was about to ask Folcon if she could use the bathtub, but she saw that it was full of bloody clothes. Ugh, she grimaced. A bath will have to come later. Instead, she found Folcon and waited for him to give the plans for the day.

Given that it said their role, that had to imply that there was to be more then one Avian left when, and if Ragnarök began. But. Folcon thought, I'm the last of the Avians. Is it possible that one of the prophecies is wrong. Imposable, they've never been wrong. And yet, the chapter title implies that there are more then one Avian that takes part in Ragnarök. Is it possible that I am not the last of my kind, that somewhere, there are more of my people?

Given that they were not the heavy tread of armor, Folcon ruled out Vakkmirr. Shane was too careful about making any noise when he walked, plus, Shane probably knew that Folcon didn't want to see him for a while after leaving himself in such a vulnerable state last night. And the foot steps were just a little too heavy to be Jax or John. So, who could it be, the room door hadn't opened, so Raven had to be down stairs. Folcon just couldn't figure it out. Not until the steps came closer and Folcon sensed a feint, dark aura.

Folcon looked at her for a moment, then came to the conclusion that she must have decided to stay at this inn as apposed to wherever her inn was. After looking at her for a moment, in which nothing was said, Folcon marked his place in the book and set it aside. "How can I help you?"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Vakkmirr walked out of his room, and headed for the library area that Folcon seemed to love to stay in. He was in a rather bad mood, since he had thought that they would be off traveling again by now.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      He enterd the Library. seeing that Valia was waiting there as well, probobly for the same reason he was there. "Well, I wait in my room, yet I hear no bustle of movement that means we are leaving. I hear no speak of plans being made, routes picked out. Folcon, why do we remain here? Why are we still in Alberta?"
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Folcon continued to look at his book. "Im working on it, Corpse. Besides, I'm sure you can find other ways of entertaining yourself besides bothering me."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Vakkmirr frowned. "Your runts tell me you plan to go to Izlude, I had thought that was our next destination."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Folcon looked up this time. "The Runts havent said a word to you so far, how would you know? And if you want to leave so bad, then how 'bout you go right now? I sure as hell wouldnt mind not having you around for a bit."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Vakkmirr grinned behind his helmet. "The runts dont need to say anything, fool. I can still enter their minds as easily as a clumsy Gremlin stalking a blind Demon." He narrowed his eyes. "And I would not mind being away from you either, however, people do not often react well with tall, armored agents of Hel. Besides, even a being such as I needs aid from time to time. As you saw last night. I also have words for you later about that."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      He could see Folcon roll his eyes.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      "I am ready to move as of now, and I hope you will be soon."

"If you're such a hurry, go ahead and go. We'll be along as soon as I can secure passage on a ship for us." Folcon then left the library with the book and entered the kitchen area.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        There, he saw Shane, shirtless, at the stove, getting ready to start breakfast. Folcon pushed him away and grumbled, "Put a shirt on." As Shane was about to leav the room, Folcon said, "And take this book with you and put it in my bag please." Shane scowled at him and took the book and left the room. "Think of it as your chore for breakfast," Folcon holllered, a slight grin on his face, as he began to crack a dozen eggs into a large frying pan and set bacon onto another burner. After a few minutes, the smell of bacon began to fill the suite, drawing Jax and John in. "Wash your hands and sit down," Folcon said, waving towards the table and turning the eggs and bacon.

The aroma of cooking breakfast reached Vakkmirr, who gimmaced and thought to himself Why does this world alwways tuant me with food?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          He walked out of his room again a few moments later, a objective in sight. He would find a man to take them across whatever water they needed to travers, even if it was the last thing the captain did.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "I am leaving." He grunted to Valai on her way to the kitchen "Tell the hero that i am going to find us a captain. I will return soon."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          He walked through the crowded streets of the port city, a somber look in his walk. For a seafaring town, there didnt seem to be many sailors around. Perhaps he was looking in the wrong area?
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Vakkmirr paused, seeing a swarthy looking sailor negotiating a price for several crates of food nearby. "You there!" He shouted to the sailor, who turned around rather quickly. "Who, me?" he asked
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "Yes you, you impudent little...Tell me, were are the sailors, I had thought this city was run by them?"
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          The sailor frowned. "Its the sea." he replied "Theres something different about it. Once, this sea used to be one of the calmest in all of Midgard. But barely a month ago, ships started disapearing, with no explination at all." The sailor shook his head. "If it were up to me, I would be staying at port 'till the whole thing blows over, but our Captain doesnt like slackers, so he's making us go across those god-forsakken waters again." The sailor eyed Vakkmirrs sword. "Say, you look like the fighting type! I'd sure feel better if I had several people like you watching my back while at sea."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          This is too easy "As a matter of fact, my salty freind, I do happen to know several people that would be more than enough to handle any trouble out on those waters. But, I want my group to get free passage to Izlude as repayment, as well as anything else they want, I dont care."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          The sailor looked at the floor in thought. "Well," He said "Izlude is near one of our stops, and im sure my Captain wouldnt mind the small delay, as long as you keep your word about protecting us. I'll have to speak with the captian first though."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "Very well then, when can I expect a relpy from you?"
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "No more than a couple 'o hours I suppose.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Vakkmirr turned back towards the direction of the inn. Well, that wasnt so hard.

It was awkward trying to clean bone with just soap and water. It is easier with some kind of a scrub-brush. After her bony hand was relatively clean, she sat at the table. She clenched and unclenched her hand in a bored kind of way. This brought stares from the boys. She didn't mind. She was used to stares.

Hitting them in the back of their heads, Folcon said, "Eat." The startled boys nodded and looked down at their food for a moment, then began eating. When Shane came in, Folcon handed him a plate then sat down himself and began eating.

Folcon promptly kicked him under the table. "Ouch! What was that for?"

Dark magic does the opposite. Although it is very powerful, it obtains its power by feeding off of the spellcaster." She stared lazily at her hand and continued, "Dark magic is addictive, too. Once you see how easily enemies can be defeated, it becomes so much more difficult not to use it." She sighed. "Light magicians have been known to live long lives, but necromancers have always died young. That's how it has always been."

Of death, plagues, ruin, all brought by her. She remembered only little of this time, and the few visions she had faded. In a voice only barely above a whisper, she muttered, "I am only thankful for the one chance I had to stop."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                She looked straight into Shane's eyes and said, "Promise you'll never learn dark magic."

"Lady," he said, "I loath dark magic and would never use it. Not unless there was no other choice." This last was said softly, and went unheard by the other people at the table.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  The rest of the meal passed in relative silence. When it was over Jax and John cleared the table while Folcon went to get his clothes out of the tub and finish cleaning them. As the last of the water drained away, Folcon looked at the clothes with disgust. Although the blood was washed out, there were still stained and grunged beyond salvation. With a sigh, he cast a spell and incinerated the clothes.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Wonderful, Folcon thought. Now I have no other changes of clothes. Guess that means I need a new set. Folcon of course knew that the clothes he preferred wouldn't be sold here in Alberta. In fact, the wouldn't be sold anywhere in Midgard anymore. So his only option was to use his magic to create some. Concentrating, Folcon closed his eyes and began to mutter the words to an ancient Avian spell that would sute his task. Roughly translated, it went something like this, Divine power of the gods of old, please lend me your power to achieve my goal. Then something about protection, followed by something about fabric types and colors, and finally, I call upon you, grant me your aid.

In addition to a shimmering cloak that appeared to subtly change colors from white to silver to grey. He put the new clothes into his bag and took it with him back out into the common room, after hiding away his stocked feathers from last night. He would have time during the two week boat ride to process them into the potion components he needed for his stock of medicines.

Pleased to see him waiting there.

What does the good Captain say?"
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    The sailor's tanned face broke into a suprised look, as Vakkmirr had approached him from behind. 'The Captain." He said "Was rather pleased to find somebody willing to offer their protection for free. He says you can come aboard. We are leaving tommarrow, its lucky you caught us before we left. The King's Purchase is in your debt until then."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Vakkmirr headed back towards the inn, noticing the lack of Demons in the area. something he wasnt suprised about, since they had just whiped out nearly all of Alberta's Demon population. The people seemed to notice this too. They walked with a more calm step, and no longer cast their eyes on shadowy alleys. Vakkmirr only shook his head. A city as popular as this would never be truely free. He was supprised though, the severe lack of Undead they had met so far. Besides the now late Ogmass, Hel had taken almost no pasrt in halting their quest. His former mistress must have something planned for them later on.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    "Well," He said as he opend the Penthouse door. "You wont have to worry about a ship, I did that part for us. The King's Purchase leaves tommarrow, they are dropping us off near Izlude on the way." He walked into the Kitchen area, where he found Folcon and the others cleaning up their meal.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    "Whats the catch?" Folcon asked him as he sent the children to wash themselves.

He turned to Shane as he came in from the other room and said, "Hey Shane, I'm heading down to the market to pick up a few things. Want to come along?"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        After Folcon left, Valia figured that she could just take a bath without his permission. She informed Jax and John that she would be using the bath. She also requested that they take care of whatever business they had in there so that they would not need it for a while.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        After that, she closed the bathroom door and inspected the tub. It still had quite a bit of blood residue on the sides. Grumbling, she scrubbed it with a washcloth and rinsed it clean. Then, she poured some fresh water, stripped, and stepped in. She sighed and relaxed in the warmth.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        She noticed that something was a bit odd with the toes on her left foot. She brought her foot closer to her eyes to see what was wrong. The skin on her toes was completely black. She carefully touched it, and it was so brittle, it almost fell off. She sighed again, this time a sigh of sadness. She looked at her right arm, bone all the way up to the shoulder. She had assumed that it would continue to deteriorate in that way. She thought that it would continue until it reached her torso, and at that point it would kill her. It now seemed that each of her limbs would turn to bone first.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        How long to I have left to live? Many years or few? Then, a rather disturbing thought struck her. Will I die? Will I continue to live as a walking skeleton? She shuddered at the thought. Suddenly, the bath seemed very cold to her. She soaped up a sponge and washed herself, contemplating her mortality.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Vakkmirr was, once again, bored. He had hoped that finding a ship would take longer, but that wasnt the case. Valia was taking a bath, and Folcon and his half-breed freind were shopping. Perhaps I shall terrorize the children. Vakkmirr thought terrorive little ones? Vakkmirr, I begin to wonder exactly how far you have fallen. Vakkmirr blinked, that last voice wasnt his own. What do you want, Death Mage? Suddenly, Vakkmir wasnt sitting in the kitchen. Instead, he was back at Dincantus' study.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Vakkmirr blinked again, then jumped as a green fireball wizzed past his head. "What are you doing!" he cried
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "Vakkmirr, you arent even actually here, that fireball wouldnt even hav ethe slightest effect on you. But you should watch your back next time anyways." came a reply from bahind a stack of books. The Death Mage's skull flames were burning brightly, licking the air eagerly, as if to somehow hurt it. Vakkmirr turned around to see the smoking remains of a demon, followed by an armored skeleton.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "What is the meaning of this?" Vakkmirr asked
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "Its Hel, she has found out you are trying to stop her, and she knows I have conections with you."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Vakkmirr blinked again, unsure what to do. "Do you want me to come back and help you? One less favor to owe is always worth the effort."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Dincantus smiled at Vakkmirr before throwing another fireball at another skeleton warrior. "No, that would mean certain death for you, but I thank you for the offer nonetheless. I only contacted you to tell you that I am going into hiding. And to give you this." Dincantus raised a skeletal palm, and a small box flew into it. "Take this, it will help you on your journey." He said, handing the box to Vakkmirr.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "But, If the fireball wouldnt have hurt me, then how am I going to g-"
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "Questions," Dincatus interupted "While usually welcomed and encouraged, are not apropriate at this time!"
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "Death Mage Lazarus Dincantus," somebody said from outside the room "You are to be put to Ultimate Death by the order of the great Mistress Hel. Surrender to us, and we may crush you bones faster during interrogation."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Vakkmirr knew that voice. The words were spoken in the unmistakeable, echoing tone of a Death Knight. with the wave of a hand, Dincantus set the hallway ablaze with green flame. "Do not worry about me. I am more than a match for Hel's pets." Dincantus snapped his fingers, and several things happened at once. Before Vakkmirr went back to his body, he noticed that the building seemed to be collapsing. The Death Mage dissapeared on a flash of green light, and a long, obsidian black Katana sliced through a nearby wall.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          And then, Vakkmirr was back, with one of the kids staring at him. "What are you looking at?" he spat. The kid flinched, but didnt move. "You talking to a wall, thats what."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "Why you little..." Vakkmirr growled as he picked the kid up by the back of his shirt. He tossed the kid out of the room, who unfortunatly landed on one of the couches. Next time, he thought to hiself, aim for a wall.

Folcon then nodded to the vendor and walked away towards another booth.

Outside of the bathroom, she heard Vakkmirr shout, "Open you infernal contraption!" and the sound of something hitting the wall. She tried to dress herself quickly, but she heard him storm off and leave the inn. Shrugging, she finished dressing and wrapped her still-damp hair in a towel. As she made sure she had everything, she noticed something shiny on the floor. She picked it up and saw that it was the amulet that Vakkmirr had given to her. She was wearing it around her neck and had gotten so used to it being there, she had completely forgotten about it. She left the bathroom and sat in an armchair. She turned it over in her hands, wanting to know what it was for.

Again. Why? That damn Death Mage only gives me another peice of trash, and somemore useless information.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  He stopped walking and looked around at his surroundings. He appeared to be in somekind of park. Indeed, he could see small children pushing eachother off of the hills.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Vakkmirr shoot his head and walked into a part of the park dense with trees. He sat down against one and pulled out the box again. Rather than force it open, he decided that he would examine it a bit more.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  The box appeared to be made out of stone, rather than wood. What kind of rock it was hewn from, he could not tell. It appeared to be somekind of obsidian like material, with flecks of white in it here and there. The box was about a half a foot long, and half a foot wide. And there didnt appeare to be a lid that he could open it with. Rather, it appeared to be some kind of black cube.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  He squinted his eyes, and peared into the box. He could barely see the part that signified a lid. So it is a box afteralll. But that doesnt tell me anything I didnt know already.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  He continued looking at the box, focusing all of his attention on it. What was that? Did it just flicker?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Vakkmirr was rather busy with his box, so he didnt see the man in haggard clothing sneak up on him, pulling something out of his pocket, and bushing it into Vakkmirr's back. "Give us the coins, Mr. High-And-Knighty, or i'll stick you with me knife."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Rather than comply, Vakkmirr reached behind him, and grabbed the mugger by the shoulders and flipped him over. He grabbed the man by his shirt, pinning to the ground. At the same time, he grabbed his sword and put it against his throat.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  "P-Please!" The man cried "I-I have a family! I'm just trying to get some money for them!"
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  "Lies!" Vakkmirr spat, entering the man's mind "You just want to buy alchohol with my money!"
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  The man blinked, suprised. "So, uh. You'll let me go?"
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  "No" Vakkmirr said, slitting the man's throat. He watched patiantly as the brown-ish colored soul merged itself with his blade. He felt a small amount of power get added to his own. All souls were color-coded. Good and Holy souls were gold in color. Average souls were silver colored. And evil souls were brown or gray. The worst souls were black, and barely tangible.
