Darius was nowhere to be seen.
Akira, I have an arow positioned on his head, and Shadowsong is ready to crush him. Darius informed Akira.
Darius was nowhere to be seen because he was invisible, a natural trait of Drow. His arrow was expertly trained upon the man's brain cavity, a shot that would take out everything. Darius' eyes were keen as ever, and the slightest movement would make Darius fire. He didn't even care if he was found, this arrow could not be dodged that easily.
Shadowsong had taken to skies above, and was ready to come crashing down at any second. The sword, Darkfire, was positioned by Darius' telekinesis about twenty feet away from the man, that way it would not be seen coming rushing toward him.

Akira's teeth were clenched now as she looked towards Skiit, disgust and pity mixed into her emotions as she looked towards Skiit. Fear was in her gaze as well, she understood that she could have been like Skiit with the mark in the mind or she could become like Skiit, the thought was horrible to her as she looked towards Dikan and then Lorian and she wondered if they understood what exactly was going on and she knew it wasn't likely that they did.
"You know we've all missed you, we need you back with us." he stepped to a closer branch his feet silent as it touched the bark of the tree. The shadows shifted again as the spectres looked on nervously, eyes could be seen just in the corner of the eyes but when one looked to see them eye to eye they weren't there anymore only to have another pair appear just outside your direct vision, it was quite unnerving to behold.
One pair of eyes looked towards Darius as if daring him to shoot the arrow, unnaffected by the fact Darius was invisable as it watched. It smiled from the shadows and continued watching until one of the hidden ones spoke, "The drow will join!" it said, they obviously enjoyed watching the battle, "The knight as well!" murmers echoed through them which caused a humming of undistinguishable noises. "Dragon!" one of them said somewhat louder than the others in an alarmed tone and the voices ceased and a tension formed in the air as the eyes looked skyward towards Shadowsong and some of them towards Zephyr.
Akira wasn't sure what she wanted to do- she wanted to get rid of Skiit but she wasn't exactly sure if that was what she wanted to happen because she certainly didn't want someone to kill her if she became something like Skiit. It was all just so complicated.

((Is this what I get for taking a nap today?))
Zephyr landed near Lorien and Dikan. She let out a loud roar making her look terrifying. Reggetar sat there looking rather calm. He was still jittery from the battle and seeing this new person who also had the same curse mark as Akria didn’t help calm him. As far as he figured, this person would be just as strong as Akria, and he wouldn’t want to get in a fight with her. He kept his face expressionless trying to mach the confidence that Zephyr was having.

Swallowing hard, Lorien steeled himself as well as he could. Unnerving as they were, he was not one to let his companions face such things alone. Akira... if she could become one of those things, then the situation was by far graver than it had first seemed. They were like a plague, wishing to spread their affliction to others with perverse pleasure, and he could not stand for that. With a controlled thrust he leaped onto a branch next to Akira with a burning azure glare, keeping wary of all sides.
"Dark figures, Akira quests to have her affliction removed. Instead of attempting more pain, you should join us to save yourselves as well. If you threaten us, I am saddened to say that only oblivion awaits you," he told them levelly, his gauntlet tightening around the smooth surface of his lance.

"You don't understand, do you?" Skiit said as he looked towards Lorien, "The feeling you gain knowing you share power with so many others! I was once like you, clinging to the old ways... you'll know the joy once you are like us." He stood there, his eyes wide and insane as he looked towards the knight without fear.
Akira's gloved hand was clenched into a fist, golden light faded through the leather so it could faintly be seen. Her eyes squinted as she looked towards Skiit, her turquoise gaze like a katana, sharp and dangerous. Her hand fell limp but her arm remained as tense as ever she looked at Lorien standing next to her, "Please stay away from me." she said, her voice so much more tired than it was moments before.

Dikan gathered all his courage. He began to walk forward. Slowly, but steadily. As he walked passed the afflicted figure, he closed his eyes and prayed to himself under his breath, hoping that he would not attack...

"I apologize, but there is no way I could leave you here with them," he said to Akira with determination. His determined gaze met with the most prominent figure, the one who spoke.
"You are mistaken then, or at least this 'joy' is a long time from coming, because Akira has met nothing but sorrow from it. This is in her eyes and in the wound itself; a simple fact. In all of your marks there is nothing but evil, and you are too clouded by its dark fog to even see it," he declared, pointing at Skiit with his weapon. "Fight me then, and if you lose, begone!"

Darius dropped down from the trees as his face was revealed from invisibility straight in front of Skiit's.
"I am Darius Darkstalker. Son of Desgrin, God of Balance; Destroyer of Cities; Killer of Races; Murderer of Millions. Your power is weak and pathetic, BOY." Darius said coldly, emphasizing "boy". He motioned backwards with his hand.
"Lorien, know YOUR place." Darius said as he also sent Lorien a hidden thought.
Get everyone away from here...NOW. Dikan, Sion, and everyone else save Akira and these nuisances. You will not want to see me. HE sent in a hidden telepathy message.
Darkfire surged from the woods and landed square beside Darius. He didn't have to worry about the enemy picking up the sword, only Darius could to begin with.
"Ok, Skiit. I suggest before you die you make your final goodbyes and your final words spoken. There will not be any reincarnation or regeneration. You will die, and you will die slow so I can savor every single drop of blood as though it were fine-aged wine. Then I will bring vultures here so they can eat you muscle tendon by tendon, and I will sit and watch. Your comrades will die as soon as I touch my blade, that is something I promise you." Darius stated coldly as he looked up to Akira. "I keep my promises, don't I, Akira?" He inquired, his eyes wild in a bloodlust frenzy.
He then threw down his bow as it materialized into grey wisps of smoke, along with the arrows.
"Do you accept these terms? You sorry derogatory-named piece of shit?" Darius' eyes flared in sheer power. He decided he would actually fight today.

Dikan stopped in his tracks once Darius sent him the telepathic message. He did not know how to communicate using telepathy, but he tried. "Darius!" He yelled in his mind, "this is my battle too, I will help you at all costs. I have destroyed cities just as you have. You have not seen my true powers and they will devastate this enemy. I will stand by your side and fight any evil."

Akira's hand moved so quickly it wasn't visable, she grabbed her gloved hand and removed the glove to reveal the marks glowed a slight golden color as her feet brought her foreward towards Darius. The was when the mark was in most danger of spreading and obviously that was what was going to happen sooner or later.
"Sister, I see you're regaining your balance on the way things were done." Skiit said with a smirk, he had seen such a thing happen many times before.
The curse mark had spread just past Akira's wrist and already it was making it's way into her with coursing pain that made it impossible to keep her mind straight which immediately made her mind so vulnerable, "You're not going to hurt him." she said through clenched teeth, her hand stopping but inches from Darius' exposed back. She truly didn't want to see Skiit attacked and killed at that- in her mind she and him were the same and if they were willing to kill Skiit then that would mean that they'd kill her. She didn't want that to happen, she wanted to live. With all the desperation a soul could muster she wanted to live for fear that she might not end up with Makashi- she wanted to hold onto the possibility and not find out beause of the overwhelming fear of what the truth may be.

(Is my character the only one here who has not destroyed cities? I'm not sure whether to be offended by the almost god-moding or be praying for all these dang cities. XD)
(Um... my post died... pretend it's still here...)

Dikan gave up with his argument with Darius. If he was so confident that he could do what he was planning, then he should do it. "Agreed," Dikan said to Lorien, "and by the way, Darius, I have not destroyed cities. I have saved them from people like you!" He quickly followed Lorien into the woods.

"Lorien, I can take whatever I want from this one's mind. I don't need words." Darius said dangerously as he reached for Darkfire.
One...Two...Three...Four. Darius counted in his head.
Darius sighed as he saw Akira coming, and knew what she was thinking.
Akira, don't. I will hurt you or restrain you if I must, but I will not kill you. This boy, Skiit, is getting on my nerves. You WILL be with Makashi, I've promised that to you before, and I still keep that promise to today. Please, I'm warning you, stand back. Darius sent a mind message to her as he grasped Darkfire and it looked as though he hadn't moved. Although, the rest of the hooded figures had blood spraying from their chests, Skiit was left. "I told you I kept promises." Darius said.
((No, Darishan. Darius isnt actually god-moding. This IS his power from the original character. XD Liz knows.))

Reggetar jumped off of Zephyr. He had his dagger at ready in his hand. He heard Akira say she didn’t want Darius to kill Skiit. To him that made No sense in any form of the word. Personally, killing him would make perfect sense, but clearly that was not the case. Blue sparks leapt through the small spaces between his fingers but not going elsewhere. He was tensed to run back to Zephyr and be off with in seconds. Until then, he would wait.
