Reggetar landed Zephyr next to Dikan. He surveyed the fortress before him. His trip had mostly been airborne and virtually ALL conservations were with Zephyr. He had been basically been ignoring Solstace. He was still being rather rude. Manners were still not a strong point of his. His muscles were acing from actually traveling to a particular place in a hurried manner. Most of his trips were like,
Hay lets go here! *pokes random spot on map* Ok! *flies* Ooohhhh!! Look! Something shiney! *lands* *gets board* Lets go here! *picks new random spot on map*
Destinations were rarely reached with out SOME distraction. He got off and stretched his back. This place looked REALLY creepy… He looked behind him to see if the others had come yet.

"Akira," Marleina said with a hushed tone- but not quite the whisper either, "can you find where he is?" Her glossy red curls swayed as her jaw ran up and down while she talked. (sorry bout this- not in the posting mood right now ill fix it soon)

Akira nodded as she reached into her back pocket, her hand came out with a map in it's clutches and she handed it to Marleina. "I can't be here too long, Aroroth is suspecting that the spell isn't working anymore." she said quickly. "I marked where Jouta and Simmian are." she nodded before quickly heading away, her hair waving behind her since she still hadn't bothered to cut it short again. Unfortunately Aroroth had figured out Akira had built up a resistance to the spell, and he had plans now. Plans to get rid of Akira now that it was too dangerous to have her around.

Meanwhile, in a drow fashion, Darius was coming in the right way...through the front door. Loud screams could be heard below as people were tossed across the entrance hall to meet their untimely, crushing death. Darius, of course, was walking casually as if going through a field of fine-smelling flowers. His style was not to be firece, but droll. He occasionally flicked his blade in the air, decapitating a person running at him quite easily. He reached the reception area of the place and looked around.
"What, no welcome? No, "Hello, Sir, how may I be of assistance"? I must say, you people have absolutely no manners." Darius commented to the receptionist, who was cringing behind his podium. The receptionist looked at Darius, and Darius, being a jerk, stuck his face forward.
"Boo." He stated in a matter-of-fact way as the receptionist fainted.
Darius turned around to see some wounded getting up to come after him again, he drew two fingers to his mouth and whistled.
A crash sounded from the front door as Shadowsong burst in, giant splinters of wood and bits of flying rock impaled the wounded, sending them down.
Grand entrance, brother. Darius commented.
Please, no applause. Shadowsong stated back dryly.

"I understand- but at least take me close to where they are- I can do the rest, you take care of what you need to do," she replied a little lost. Her necklace started to glow a blue color and yet it was the dimmest she had ever seen it. What was wrong here?

Lorien entered the receptionist hall through a side entrance, his blond hair a mussed and looking a little sheepish, though not harmed in any way. He quickly cleaned the blood off his lance with a rag he carried for that purpose alone and said in an embarrassed tone to Darius, "Sorry, I got a little lost in here. There are so many corridors; I had reason to think I had been tangled in a labyrinth."
Walking over to Darius and his dragon, he noticed an unconscious man near a podium. Darius was so nice, sparing all except for those that forced death upon themselves!
"Are you more familiar of this place? We must attempt to locate Akira and Marleina ere the master of this house does," Lorien stated in concern. He had a feeling that time was not on their side...

Dikan's horse reared in the air, meaning that it was anxious and was sick of just sitting around. "It is okay, buddy," Dikan said as he patted the stallion and ran his fingers through its mane, "we are just waiting for our friends inside to open bridge and we will be clear to go."

"Oh, I really thought I was alone save Shadowsong." Darius said, his hand rubbing the back of his head in an embarrassed way. Then Darius thought of something.
"How did you get in...nevermind. I'm going up." He announced as he looked above him, a stone celing in his view. He thrust his hand upward as a beam of light surged from his hand and burned a hole through the stone. Shadowsong came forward and Darius stepped onto the top of the dragon's head as he was raised to the hole.
"See you later, eh?" Darius saluted Lorien as he went through the hole. Shadowsong then backed out and spun around in a circle as he lay down, a thud resounding in the hall. After that, a loud snore accompanied his sleep.
What a lazy dragon... Darius thought to himself as he was in a room that appeared to be an armory. He grabbed five spears and tested their balance out...quite nice. He took them in both hands as he kicked down the door to open up to a banquet hall. Darius puckered his lips as he whistled, a startled legion of footsteps came rushing into the banquet hall. HE drew back the spears as he threw all of them double-handed, penetrating ten guards as they went backwards and stabbed five more guards. A funny excapade. Darius simply walked forward as the remaining guards trembled in their boots. He laughed at them openly, then went to a dead body and rose his hand. THe guard's soul came out, and his bones ripped from his dead flesh as they formed into something new, a tiger-like bone structure that now ahd a soul to move. Darius used it to make the remaining guards hide in the corner as he walked away, and trotted himself into a center hall lined with tapestries.

"Oh! I..." Lorien paused as his friend was dragon lifted onto the next floor. Though chagrined, he smiled a small smile and shrugged. "I guess I'll find another way up," he said to himself, laughing once. There had been few times in his life when he had been so nervous. Though so far he had met nothing worthy of his full skill, the very air still seemed to warn of danger. It was very disconcerting, to be able to feel danger with no seen reason. And he was afraid. Not for himself, but for Akira and Marleina, along with the rest of his companions. Feeling an odd shiver that had nothing to do with the air, Lorien bit his lip and chose a hallway, his metal-plated shoes making soft clacks where they fell.
Confidence: he believed that Akira and Marleina could do what they were attempting to do here. Insecurity: if he couldn't find them in time, could they do it alone?
Akira's eyes... when she had her hand held out to Darius to save the accursed figure cloaked in black. The horrible fire of them... If she could be influenced so... Lorien bit his lip harder. He could really use some reassurance from his Mind right now... 'Mind...?' he called timidly in the (relatively empty) vaults of his head. 'What the hell do you want? I'm busy watching the game,' Mind replied. 'Oh... sorry...' Lorien sighed. Conscience patted him on the back once before he refocused on the world and turned a corner.

Reggetar saw that Darius’ Dragon break in and saw a perfect opportunity to get in there himself. He climbed back onto Zeohyr and took off. He saw most of the people laying dead in the first room. Yep. Darius had defiantly been here. He saw Lorien and decided it would be safer to stay with him. “Is it just me or do we have no idea where we are going?” He asked flatly. He remembered Solstace and looked back to see if she may have fallen off. Seeing she hadn’t he turned back around, still not really speaking with her. It was almost like he was made at her (which he wasn’t) and it was kinda funny.

"Oh, hiya!" Lorien greeted Reggetar. Such informal language was acceptable to those who were your friends. "I'm not sure where we're going, actually. Anyway, Akira is in here somewhere, probably with Marleina..." he paused, spotting Solstace. "Oh, that was the talking cat with her! Do you know where they are?" he asked the cat, not thinking it odd at all. After all, if a cat could talk to a person, a person could certainly talk to a cat.

Dikan galloped in with his horse behind Reggetar. He looked around the room where they were, looking if there was any sign of where they could find Akira.

Solstice looked up at Lorien and shook her head, "No, if I knew where she was then I'd already be after her. Solstice had a horrible feeling though and it could be seen in her eyes though it wasn't the kind of look that made one want to question it.
*Flashback time!!*
Akira turned the corner her aze lingering behind her for but a moment and as she looked forewards she saw Aroroth and froze, a smirk on his face. "Well then Akira, seems that I was right..." his tone sly as he spoke.
Akira made no effort to hide anything, she already understood what this meant, "If you're confronting me then you know that the curse mark isn't working." She said in a defensive tone. Her legs locked in order to make it easy to run as she felt the curse mark on her hand.
"Are you so sure Akira? Bow then, then you'll see the controll you really have." He said in a demanding voice as the curse mark on Akira's hand flamed up, fueled by the fact that Aroroth was so close by. Of course this made things bad for Akira as she struggled and her body trembled as she stood there when her legs gave way and she collapsed onto the floor in a bow, her head bent foreward and her teeth biting into her lip in anger. "See how you have no power here. Though maybe you haven't learned this fully, maybe you need a little help with it." He said, obviously enjoying the point which he was going to get to and his own hand glowed golden, Akira opened her mouth to say something but before such an attempt could be completed the hand was placed over her lips and shot a burst of light onto her skin. Akira's eyes rolled backwards in her sockets as her eyelids drew over them. Her body slumped to the floor- but she was still alive.
*Back in now...*
Akira looked out the window in the throne room, her gaze locked into the distance as Aroroth sat upon his throne directly next to Akira. Aroroth looked towards the door, awaiting the arrival of the intruders- there was going to be a show, and it was going to be a good one.

The throne doors busted open in splinters as Darius came in whistling, looking like he hadn't even done anything. Darkfire was still sheathed behind him on his back, he hadn't unsheathed it since the beginning, this place was a bit too easy. He looked over at the simpleton on the throne and chuckled out loud, he had noticed Akira, but Darius was out of his mind at the moment. Something that happened often when he killed many. Darius unsheathed Darkfire and stuck it in the floor as he elaned upon it, looking at the throne.
"Well, well, WELL!" He said in an insanely maniacal manner.
"Look at this posing king! What a funny day this has been, my friend! I've never met soo many people." Darius said in an ironic manner. He looked over at Akira then the man on the throne.
"WHAT IS THIS?" He said in an abrupt manner.
"Makashi would be VERY jealous, Akira! A-hahahahah!!" He said, picking up Darkfire in his left hand flawlessly.

Akira looked towards Dain, her movements with an eerie sense of grace in them. Her eyes sparkled brightly and covering the lower half of her face and lacing over her mouth was another curse mark, identical to the one over her hand. Her eyes showed sparks of a strong insanity and they narrowed in pleasure at the sight of Darius. "Well then, I see you've finally made it." she said in a smooth, calm tone. Such things had been seen before, the same thing had become of Skiit. She had some things she had to say, and an offer to give. "So tell me Darius, what are you going to do? Kill me? Just like all the others who have met thier fate at your hands? You all seemed so ready to kill Skiit, it was a miracle he wasn't attacked. What will you do now that you know who I was when I was weak? Can you still attack? Before you decide I must inform you that now I hold powers none of you will ever know or comprehend, I see things you cannot. All my brothers and sisters around me as I speak are seen by my eyes but you are blind to them all! I see so much more that I used to, than you do now. You see a blue sky, bright and full of the norm- but my sky, oh the glory of my sky!" She reached for a dagger at her side and clutched the handle in her fist before drawing the cold metal across her wrist which let a steady stream of crimson flow. "This is my sky, red with blood, stained from the blood of fallen enemies." She now dropped the dagger as blood dripped to the floor from her arm, her hand now removing the glove from her hand, "See my sky, this is my offer to you! Come and see the glory and feel the power!" Insanity came thickly in her tone which picked up in a manic rushed way of speaking with every word that dripped from her cursed lips like the blood now falling to the floor.
Aroroth watched with an amused look, Akira had said she wanted to handle this on her own and he was going to let her. But he had some things in mind for later, he couldn't let too much harm befall Akira.
(Note: Yeah, please let Akira and Aroroth live... for me please. Though if you like Akira more than Li-Wa then you'll kill one or the other now... but please let them live. You can kill Aroroth later...)
