Darius leaped out of the crater with magnificent grace as Darkfire came landing squarely at a man's neck, which Darius promptly severed. He had noticed the other newcomer, but paid no attention to him either. He wasn't a threat, in any term. Darius drew Darkfire up as he swung the sword, a a gale of energy slicing knights in front of him in half, the knights some ways from him collapsed to the ground, their muscles spasming uncontrollably. THen he casually walked over the dead bodies, his bare feet not getting cut at all from the steel armor. His muscled chest stood out in the sun, but there wasn't a drop of sweat on him, he was actually cool to the touch. This was simply a poor excuse of a warm-up to Darius. He went forward and passed up the blindfolded man, nothing special. He went over and patted the now-slashing Akira's back.
"You know, they are gone now." Darius told her, laughing.
"I need to clean-up this place now, Akira. You know what happens." Darius advised her as he moved away and thrusted Darkfire into the ground.
"Akira, take your new friend as well. I don't believe he wants to meet a fate this way." Darius stated.

Akira nodded as she looked towards Sion, "Yeah, I'd suggest we get some distance between us and Darius." She said as she leaped skyward and yet to the sight it looked like she had teleported away from the sight. All the ways away i the forest her form silently landed on a tree branch, she made no effort to see if the stranger followed since he was obviously able to teleport he should be able to get somewhere safe.

Dikan prepared himself as two soldiers, both carrying longs spears, charged him. Dikan let out an evil laugh as they charged. "You guys are fools," he said as they began to come closer and closer, "I could defeat you with my bare hands, but let us make this interesting." Dikan quickly put the hood of his cloak back on his head. With the veil of the hood, Dikan was able to block all surrounding distractions nd focus just on his enemies. He then flicked his hands out, spreading his cloak, revealing two long swords along both of his legs. The blades of the swords were glowing with an orange color. Dikan gripped each sword with his respective hands. He sprinted at the soldiers, ready to fight. The first soldiers with the spear jabbed it right at Dikan's stomach. He made a quick move with both of his swords, trapping the spear between them. He thrusted the spear into the air and stabbed the soldier through the stomach with his swords. With one blade in his enemy, Dikan had only one sword to use. The other spears men was still running and had not tried to attack Dikan.
Dikan withdrew the sword from the soldier and kicked him into the oncoming soldier. They collided and the rear soldier stumbled. Dikan took some quick steps forward to the two soldiers. He took both blades and slowly sunk them through the lead man into the body of the rear soldier. In a few moments, they were both dead and Dikan removed his glowing swords.

Sion looked towards Darius, and then at Akira fleeing, but made no move to follow. "She runs...?" He said, to nobody in particular. Then, turning back to Darius. "You must be strong." Still he made no move to leave. He sheathed his weapons, obviously Darius had this one covered. He looked out to Akira once more, she waited on the branch, not turning back. He walked towards Darius. Sion had turned from a force of power, to a source of calm. He merely waited for the show to start.

(Sion's sorta protected by the gods, like when the dagger struck out on it's own. Unless Darius is stronger than a god, Sion's not going down. Anyway, Sion's emo, and sorta seeking he's own demise. So he's looking for something strong enough to break their protection and kill him. For Pendragon's sake, he can't find it)

Dikan turned after he withdrew his blades from his enemies to see Akira take off. Hmm... he thought to himself...there must be a good reason. She is smart and would not fight a battle she would not win. Dikan slid his blood-covered bladed back into there sleeves by his legs. He took his hood down, and quickly sprinted into the woods, in the direction of Akira.

Darius looked at the man approaching.
"You will die from this, even if you were immortal, you would be lost forever. I do not care either way." He warned as he brought both his hands up to his chest in a triangle symbol. As if Darius were there, he was gone. His body had moved to an area so his field of vision caught the entire slaughter. The man who had approached him was still out there, he would start nontheless.
He breathed deeply as he pushed his hands forward, the symbol unwaivering. His eyes glowed a firece white as fire danced inside his pupils. Darius smiled wickedly as Darkfire became a tower for him to siphon his energy to, he had purposely stuck the sword int he middle of it all. The sword glowed fiercely, a white light emitting from its blade, and black mist coming fromt he hilt. Darius took another deep breath as he exhaled.
"ELGHINN RAGNAROK!" He yelled as the sword burst into energy and a white beam came down to it from the heavens.
The beamm stayed still as an orb of white started growing from the sword's blade. The orb incinerated whatever it touched into nothingness, as it went over sand which turned instantly into glass, and went over soldiers that simply disappeared ligament by ligament. Darius kept breathing slowly as the power went on. The man was still out there, blindfolded and dumb.

Sion's hair blew up in the wind, and he raised an arm to defend himself. A blue aura flushed over him, stopping a large portion of the attack. Sion still slid backwards though, the skin around his thrown up arm, and the side he had shown to the attack was burning up. The skin was turning red, and parts of bone were showing through.
(Sorry about the length)

Akira turned around at what seemed to be no sound whatsoever, a figure dressed in a black cloak as well stood there, his hood down to reveal his face which was lightly tanned with his deep purple eyes looked towards Akira as they were dotted with laughter. On the side of his face was a cursemark identical to Akira's, "We've been looking for you." he said, his voice eerily calm and his silver hair barely moved as he spoke, it hung to his shoulders in a thin sheet. One of the group of people only known as shadow demons were here and that meant the others were here as well. Akira frowned, she thought she lost them! Her turquoise eyes glittered with anger, she could defeat any of them one on one but together they were quite the formidable force.

Darius kept on going witht he cleansing.
What an idiot. Darius thought to himself as the energy orb reached its final reach, then disappeared.
Darius disappeared from his location and reappeared by Darkfire, which he promptly unburied with his right hand. He looked at the man and surprised he was still alive. THen he laughed.
"You know, you should be smarter." He said, making a smart comment. Darius poked the man in the chest and shook his head. Darius then thought of something, where was Akira?

Dikan continued to run through the trees, until he finally came to a clearing. He assumed that Akira was waiting here. When he came through the trees, he saw a dark figure facing away from him. Akira was there too and she seemed to be terrified of the figure that Dikan could hardly see. "Hello?" Dikan said. The figure that was facing Akira quickly turned his face and glanced at Dikan. Terror shot through him when he saw the same mark that Akira had on her, on this man. Dikan's tone of voice suddenly turned serious. "I do not know who you are," he said as he pulled his swords out which were still dripping with blood, "or where you came from, but I will not let you harm her."

In the last few moments of battle:
Lorien rested for a moment, breathing hard with an excited smile across his face. In fact, he looked much like a little boy who was the fastest at playing tag. A profuse amount of those who had failed his challenge lay dead or dying about the area, and more were closing in, crossbows lowered in a semicircle. Crossbows were not good, as they could pierce normal armor easily. His armor was a good deal harder than normal, but with this many crossbows he really wouldn't like for someone to get lucky.
With a burst of blue energy surrounding him in bright wisps, Lorien broke through their rank in an instant, skidding to a halt behind them and whirling his lance just in time to block a barrage of arrows. Some deflected and hit men nearby, but Lorien dipped his lance into the other survivors, parrying when needed. When he thought he was finished, an arrow found its way with a red hot flash of pain into his right arm, and another grazed his face across the bridge of his nose and cheek. Grimacing, Lorien turned and threw his lance into the archer he had missed, impaling the man in the lung and spine.
"Good one. You caught me," Lorien smiled, hopping by the the man and retrieving his weapon with a tearing crunch. He hoped the enemy didn't feel that too harshly, since he didn't seem quite dead yet. Clenching his teeth tightly together, Lorien pulled the arrow out of his arm and continued. The others seemed to be well, so he was content in the thrill of battle.
When Darius had finished the rest, he ran off a bit as to avoid the night-elf's odd magic and waited by a tree. His arm was an easy wound, and he touched the warm blood lightly with his hand, watching as it knitted itself back together and finally disappeared entirely. Lorien wiped some of the blood off of his face from the scratch, but it was already taking care of itself and he saw no point in healing it. Cleaning his lance on the grass, he searched the area for a sign of Akira or the others.

The stranger looked towards Dikan, insanity blinked in his eyes as he smiled. "Sister, I see that you've made friends. Please introduce me to them." His voice eerily calm and separated as he spoke, the curse mark on the side of his face throbbed.
"I'm not your sister!" Akira said in a frustrated tone, just as before the Ketsuiki and the Ame had dissapeared from her in a shroud of mystery so that it was impossible to pinpoint when it had left her.
"Is he yet another to join the family? You are the seed, remember?" he asked as he looked back towards Akira, the shadows about him seemed to move as the others shifted thier positions only slightly to get a better veiw.
Akira was getting annoyed, the curse was stronger when surrounded by others with the mark but it also granted those cursed with more power. Her arm throbbed with fading pain from the mark on her hand, Skiit had been affected by the curse arguably the most since it was in such close vicinity to his brain. He was also telling the truth about Akira, she had been designated as the seed since her mark was on her hand making it the easiest one to spread in fact hers was the only one out of the entire group that infected others- the infected every single one of them. She was responsible, and she didn't like the reminders.

There were only expressionless trees around him, happily casting their green leaves into the sunlight, but Lorien felt it again. That brand's evil.... except so much more. The knight held his lance in one arm professionally and sprinted off towards it, and it didn't take long before he found Akira and Dikan... and many others. Every single one of them... he could sense it. Clenching his teeth to keep himself from retching, Lorien didn't trust himself to speak and instead chose to listen.
What are these people, Akira? And just what are they making you? I don't blame anyone for what happens to them, but something about this group of accursed ones makes me want to silence them here and now, and ask questions later.
