Meeting on the Hendro Path (Avyuir)

"Hendro... Helios... Hendro... Helios... When the hell do I get to go somewhere interesting?" Luce sighed. He had been sent back and forth between the two bases over a dozen times by now, and he wanted to go on a different path for once. The monotonous forest and the rain pouring down irritated Luce. It was unbearably hot and the wind was rather strong. All he could think about was his little secret that he knew was safe from everyone at the castle, and testing out his skills on someone who was actually worth his time. Up on the path ahead, a shadow could be seen.

"Warrior!" came a female voice up ahead. Slowly, a beautiful elven warrior stepped out of the bushes.

"Whoa! Mirage?" Luce shouted, eyeing the woman keenly. "Guess not. Looks like a proficient warrior."

"Hmm, I suppose I am," she answered his unspoken question. "I have no idea where I am and I don't know how much longer I can take this weather."

"Same here, but what I really want is to challenge you to battle. I know that it's sudden, but I have been sent on these monotonous scouting missions for the last month, and I think that the grand general deserves something out of the ordinary for once," Luce grinned.

"..."

OoC: Err, sorry for crap. You see, I probably suck more at starting, but oh well. I left it so you can react however you want.

OoC: Using Avyuir, link in the sig for those who don't know. Armour, blue wolf

BiC: Avyuir had seen this guy traveling through this same forest about ten times in the month. Doesn't he anything better to do. Finally, she was fed up with him and decided to confront him on his tenth passing through the forest.

"Warrior!" Avyuir yelled.

"Whoa! Mirage?" Luce shouted, eyeing the woman keenly. "Guess not. Looks like a proficient warrior."

Why does this guy sound like a pervert to me? Avyuir looked around. She was in a forest with some weirdo guy and it was raining. perfect. she thought sarchastically.

"Anyways, I can't take this weather much longer."

"Same here, but what I really want is to challenge you to battle. I know that it's sudden, but I have been sent on these monotonous scouting missions for the last month, and I think that the grand general deserves something out of the ordinary for once," the guy grinned.

Uhh huh, sure. Yep, sounds like a pervert and by the wya he's looking at me, yep.

"I'm Avyuir. Whats yours?"

"I'm Luce."

"Allright then Luce, lets start" Avyuir said drawing out her blades.

"Heh, I'll enjoy this," Luce grinned as he pulled Rage into his battle stance. He held the shaft of the spear in his right hand and held it at an angle behind his waist pointing to the northeast. His left hand was outstretched with an almost open palm ready to block any sort of strike that wasn't of the blade. A rather prophetic wind blew in the direction of Avyuir and Luce struck. Moving at a speed of around 90 feet per second, he slammed the end side of his spear into the shoulder of Avyuir, knocking her back several feet, but she did not fall.

"Impressive, I guess I might actually have fun too," Avyuir laughed as she observed Luce's simper.

"Well, that was rather a test than a strike, I would have shot you through the heart if it were a fair strike. Of course, we never officially began, so i'll give you a strike to make it even," Luce compromised as he set his Buffalo Viking helmet into place.

The elf didn't even say anything, she just shot forward with her blades outstretched and jumped into a corkscrew-like strike that struck Luce square in the face. The blow shook him somewhat, but he was still able to see a second strike coming from the elf's dissembled left hand and he was able to jump to the side and dodge it. Avyuir was rather surprised at how her blow had merely slid off of the face of the helmet that he wore and left no trace of ever making contact. Luce's slight headache spoke other words, though.

"Alright, fair enough, we can safely say that this battle has begun," Luce stated, sliding into a more serious mood.

"Then start we shall!"

OoC: Let us make this fun Vane!

BiC: He's better than I thought, time to take this up a notch!

"Hehe, ready to face the wind."

"What do you mean?"

"Watch and learn! Song of Wind!"

The white shining aura appeared as did the white sword. The illusion of the sword spun faster and faster until it completely vanished.

"What was that?"

"You shall see soon enough!"

Avyuir seemed to have disappeared and then reappeared.

"The wind is my allie now. Can you possibley out best the wind?"

Avyuir struck out with her swords, each clashing against Luce's spear. He shall be an easy opponent if he just uses his spear. There useless in close combat! Avyuir easily evaded the spears thrusts and swings. He semms a bit choppy today. Is he always like this?

"You seem very choppy at the moment. Your only thrusting your spear in directions. Don't tell me somethings wrong!" Avyuir mocked.

"There is nothing wrong, I can assure you."

Luce swung out with his spear, nearly cutting Avyuir. Heh, that was a close one, had I not moved, that would be one nasty cut. One I do not need right now.

"You see, I am a little weary from the monotony of fighting pathetic opponent and going on these meaningless treks. If that you was what you meant when you said I was alittle choppy, then I guess you were right. I advise you not to let your guard down nonetheless," Luce explained as he threw his spear directly into the air at least twenty feet up. Avyuir watched as he jumped up with it and caught it midflight. She quickly swung her blades at him and sent a gust of wind that knocked him from his place, sending him sailing back onto a tree branch where he landed, spearless.

"Now that he has no weapon... what will he do?" Avyuir thought to herself, observing a rather blatant smile on the man's face. Then she realized why he didn't have the spear and she looked up to see it falling directly at her. It was almost too late, as she jumped back in time not to be killed, but not fast enough to avoid a small gash in her left leg. Luce observed his fine work and shot off of the tree at around 70 feet per second and retrieved the spear. He immediately transitioned into a second strike that knocked the unexpecting elf, who had not seen his move just enough to block it with her blade, right onto her back.

"Well, almost got it," he shrugged as he pulled himself back into his original stance.

"Hmm, you have talent. This should be interesting! We'll need to spice it up a bit!"

"I do concur!"

"Song of the Hunter!"

Once more, the aura a sword appeared but brighter this time. As I continue to use my songs, they will get stronger. Lets see what he does when they are at full strength! Avyuir twirled her swords with delight. The song had made her stronger and her blades, easier to swing. The first swing she took at Luce he easily evaded. Perfect, just as I knew you would do.

"Is that the best you can do elf?"

"No, that was not."

Avyuir struck again, this time making contact with Luce's spear. The blow nearly knocked him down.

"What, can't stay on our feet can we?"

"Haha, ok, I get you and your magic mumbo jumbo," Luce chuckled. "I guess I'll just have to use pussy magic too," he spat as he bent into a crouch. Avyuir watched as Luce shot up several yards into the air and performed a corkscrew. She quickly assumed a large attack was coming and braced herself as the blue-aura'ed screw shot directly at her. The blue aura surrounding Luce broke her block first and the spear struck several inches from the elf's foot. The next she knew, she was enveloped in a massive, blue explosion and found herself flying through the sky. The elf couldn't throw her arms out to stop herself and she struck the ground at a sharp angle and skidded several yards away. Luce on the other hand landed on his feet at the same point he had jumped. "Tch, your move."

OoC: Hmm, gosh so mean to my dearest elf. Gonna have to kill you for it!:XD

BiC: Avyuir got up, pain striking her from all sides, but it did not matter. She would not give up, not even if it meant her body being broken. I will not lose to this human! Avyuir noticed as she got up, that part of her armour had broken. My blue wolf of course. Ugh why me! Avyuir took of the piece of armour revieling just a simple white shirt made of cloth. If I'm hit now, I'll be done for. Avyuir remembered that Luce had called her songs mumbo jumbo magic, and how that pissed her off.

"First of all, my skills are mumbo jumbo magic. Second of all, you just had to break my favorite armour didn't you! Third of all, you hit a lady and made her skid across the ground, how disgraceful!"

"Disgraceful?!? Were fighting right now. What do you expect me to do, tap you lightly?!?"

"Of course not. Can't you take a little sarchasm. Really, men of the army have no such thing, why do I even bother."

Avyuir's body hurt. Even a little sigh would hurt her. If I don't finish this fight soon, I will be broken. And I can not have that. She held up her swords in a fighting stance. As she prepared herself, she concentrated on her target. I must focuse on my target. That is the only way to beat him. Avyuir had found her spot. She lunged at Luce, striking him clearly, slashing through his chest armour, nearing the skin. Unfotunatly for her, this had not stopped Luce from swinging his spear, and hitting her square on the side of her stomach. Pain shot up her instantly for having no armour for protection. I let my guard down. That won't happen again.

OoC: FYI, Avyuir does look very shall we say sexy in her white cloth shirt!

"Christ, you have to really do this to me now?" Luce asked, looking up at the sky and then looking back at the partially nude elf. "Tch, screw it," he muttered as he threw his spear to the ground and unsheathed two swords that Avyuir had not noticed were there. The reason being: the blades were completely clear, as they were made of crystal.

"Arrr, I have to win this now!" she yelled in frustration as she ran up and tackled Luce. The man was completely surprised at this and could only watch as the elf plunged her sword straight into his abdomen.

"Gah! Dammit!" he yelled as he grabbed her by the waist and threw her against a tree. He looked down to see that his armor had been pierced, and the very tip of the blade had made it into his guy. "Good job, babe, now we're cookin!"

"BABE?!? How dare you!"

Avyuir lunged out at Luce, knocking him over. As he hit the floor, she pointed one of her blades at his neck.

"Hmp, your a pervert!"

"Heh, what can I say. Its who I am."

"You disgust me. You let your own pervertedness blind your judgement. Your so foolish."

"Wow, I don't let my pervertedness do anything to me. Barely anyone even knows that I am a pervert, haha. Also, just because I called you babe doesn't mean anything, I call EVERY girl babe, even fat girls."

"Oh shut up!" She yelled at him as she threw here blades down to his throat... but he was no longer under her.

He was now up above her, and she noticed too late: he had slammed the shaft of his spear into her forehead and knocked her up into a pointed branch that left a gash on her back. He watched as the blood shot from her nose and she fell from the massive height and hit the ground. "Oops, looks like I went too far..."

"Argh, I won't lose to somebody like you!" Avyuir yelled as she ran at him again. Luce was surprised that she was still able to shrug the wounds off and attack.

"Fine, we'll play rough then."

When Avyuir hit that tree, she could feel a great deal of pain. I will not loose to this man! I will not disgrace myself! Avyuir tried to shrug of the hit, but it hurt to much. Luckily for her, she could conseal pain, with a bit of effort though. Avyuir swung her swords around, but her moves were becoming sloppy. She needed to do something quickly. She figured that if she got him down to the ground, he would give up. Avyuir swung her weapons around once more, this time, making contact with his shirt.

"Now now, thats not nice. Cutting my favorite shirt."

Avyuir took this chance while he was distracted. She dropped to the ground and swung her heel, making him loose balance as she made contact with his leg. As he fell, Avyuir quickly got up and jumped on top of him.

"Give up yet?!?"

"Hahahahahahah!!!" Luce laughed as he kicked and screamed on the ground, throwing Avyuir off. She looked at him, thoroughly perplexed. "I have been in this situation many times in almost every fight I have been in, and I never have considered considering giving up. Especially when a GIRL is on top of me, because that just makes me not want to stop."

"UGH YOU ARE SUCH A PERVERT," the elf yelled as she eyed the man angrily.

"Wow, can't take a joke? You see, I really am not that perverted, but I joke like I am. So what if I sleep with women? The thing is that people think I am some major perverted freak when they hear something, and that's not true. I mean for god sakes, Odysseus slept with three goddesses when he was on his way home to his WIFE. Nobody ever called him a pervert!"

"...Ok, that has nothing to do with you, and I will not allow you to make me accept your behavior. I also won't let you beat me!" she yelled as she charged at him again.

Luce jumped up high above and watched her run under him. She turned around quickly, knowing that something was coming, and blocked a direct blow from above. The crystal swords danced around Avyuir and came down, laying several blows all over her, but her swings also hit home several times. The forest ground was laden with blood and torn garments. Both were fatigued, but neither thought of giving up. This was not a personal fight, but they fought as though they wanted to see the other dead.

Hehe, he intrigues me so. I will be glad to finish this fight, although it may cost one of us there lives. And that person will not be me! Avyuir slashed out with her right blade, it clashed against the spear. As she brought up her left blade, she sensed something. Someone was here, but where. This something knew how to hid its location but Avyuir could still sense the being. What is this? Its something, and I have a bad feeling about this something. It has somethng of a dark aura.

Where are you! I know your here, there is no sense in hiding.

So, you can sense me hmm elf. Well, you are right, but don't worry about me. Keep on fighting, I was enjoying it. The voice sent shivvers down Avyuir's spine. This person was somewhat familiar.

Your insane! I will destroy you.

Such anger. Tch tch tch, and I thought elves were supposed to be peaceful.

Avyuir jumped away from her fight. She had figured the location of the being. There, that is where you are!

"Hey! Aren't we supposed to be fighting here?"

"Shut up! There is something here!"

Avyuir concentrated once more on the spot. It was there that was for sure. She knew she only had one chance at this. She began running towards the spot, her blades trailing behind her. As she reached the spot, she brought her blades up. She swung out with her blades, and she stopped them, right as they reached the creatures neck.

"You!"

OoC: You can make up the new char. Just figured this battle needed a bit more excitment!

OoC: Well I can throw in one of mine from my other site, but don't plan on being able to do anything to him XD He's actually in my sig. The reason I am picking him is because what you made him say is SOOOO like Rein lawl.

BiC: "What did you stop for?" he asked. She realized that it was not a beast but a man.

"Why kill a person for no reason. If you can justify spying on us then I won't kill you," she growled at him.

"Foolish of you to insult me!" he shouted as he opened his eyes and stared right at her forehead. Avyuri felt as though she had been punched and felt herself fall back through a tree branch.

"No... way!" Luce yelled as he stared straight into the eyes of Rein Aeria. "There is no way that you have been following me all the way here!"

"I can see everything that goes on in Silronia. You know that as we speak Bimalon is falling apart and your little friend, Esni, is dying. He and some other fool got caught up in the whole thing and now I watch their death as a game, just as I was your battle. I shall not hinder you though, as a million of you couldn't even harm me, so there is no point."

"Who is that?" Avyuir asked, slowly coming up beside Luce. Luce turned to say something, but Rein was already gone.

"Damn... That was Rein Aeria, he's the most powerful thing that anyone in all of Silronia knows in existence. That bastard! What has he done with Vane's son?" Luce shouted, hitting a tree and splitting it down the middle. "I am sorry, but I have to go to Bimalon.

"Oh no you don't, we are going to finish this before you go anywhere, you can't just get up and leave.

"Shame... I wouldn't normally do this, but I am going to have to kill you if you do not allow me to go. I know that I may not make a difference, but I cannot do nothing.

"Well then continue fighting me here and just maybe I'll help you out with this after I beat you," Avyuir grinned rather twistedly.

"Tch... fine, let's do this then!"

OoC: This is actually a reference to another battle I am in with Andross ^^;;

OoC: You know, we could have stopped this battle to fight the feind but w/e. Let us continue!

BiC: Avyuir lunged out once more. She knew this fight wouldn't go down. She was just messing with him. The real threat now was the feind. That man, I've felt his dark aura before, but where. If I remember correctly it was in the small village called, Village of the Moon. It was a small elven village on the outskirts of the elven territory. Just a small rest stop, a place to buy supplies and rest for the evening.

*** Avyuir had been walking down the path to Village or the Moon. She needed to rest and buy supplies. She had been rationing for a week now.

"I need to get some real food!"

Avyuir had reached the village about midday. She had stopped at the only inn at the village, The Sapera Aedu. She had ordered a simple meal and began eating when she sensed it. That dark aura that came from a hooded figure. The aura sent chills up her spine. It was a horrible feeling, making her want to loose her stomach. She new this aura was much stronger than she, and she would be easily eraticated. I'll stay here for the moment and follow him. I'll see what he really is.

The man had ordered a meal and ate it quickly. Avyuir was suprised when he even paid the bill. He stood and stode out the door quickly. He was in a rush thats foresure. Avyuir got up and followed him out the door, but only to find to her suprise, he had disappered.

"Where did he go? I have to find him. But there's not a single trace of him. Perhaps I was just imagining it?"***

"Thats it. Its him."

"Him who?"

Avyuir jumped back, and sheathed her swords. She knew fighting here would be useless.

"That man back there, I've met him before."

"And you survived?"

"Did you not aswell?"

"Yea, but barely with my skin."

"I have to find him, he's evil, and cannot be trusted. He should not be able to raom this land freely."

OoC: I shall let you take it from here! And Sapera Aedu means creasent moon in ancient elven language!

OoC: Hehe, coulda stopped the battle to fight the fiend... Let's see: Rein Aeria can fight evenly with all 5 of the Creators. The Creators being the ones who made everything (Gods). You see, if I had made us fight him, we would have died in an instant. I really recommend you read his bio, tis in my sig.

BiC: "This is quite an inconvenience that he has shown up here. This battle means nothing now, we have to go to Bimalon!" Luce shouted, pointing at Avyuir. "We have allies there, we can beat him! The Savior of Silronia, Vane Dayrose, is there; the great god of Silronia, Count Christof, is there; the son of Vane Dayrose, Esni Dayrose is there; and then there is the entire army of Bimalon!" If we were to intervene, we may have a chance of stopping him," Luce explained, the tone of his voice, desperate.

"I have no idea of what this place you speak of is, and even if we were to go there what makes you think that I trust you?" Avyuir questioned, eyeing the man she hated a few minutes ago.

"You have to believe me on this one, I would never mess around when it came to the battle of a demon that could destroy all existence!"

"All existence? Well then... I never fought the man, but apparently you have. How did he not kill someone as lowly as you?"

"That was six years ago before he had obtained that accursed blade of his and the three Tomes of Tzear. With those tomes he could literally bring down an entire dimension with a single attack. The battle between him and Rionri Cihieda shattered over forty dimensions and wiped out the existence of quadrillions of people. That isn't even counting the animals and plants that were lost."

"...Is this true?" the elf asked, beginning to become even more worried.

"Every word of it. So... what say you to joining me in travelling to Bimalon to help my friend?"

OoC: Just post your answer. If you choose to accept the offer, then just make Luce open a portal and don't get to the actual place yet. ^^;;

OoC: OOOOOOOOOOOOh, this will be interesting dearest Vane!

BiC: If what he says is true, I must accept. I have no other choice, if this demon is so powerful, than all of Ellmore will be destroyed along with this kingdom. I will call on my Gods aswell.

"I will accept. I must, for the fate of my land, Ellmore, aswell. I will call upon my Gods. My seven Gods, come to aid me in this feat ahead!"

"Before you summon them, let us reach Bimalon."

"I shall do it there. How do we reach this 'Bimalon?'"

"Like this."

Before Avyuir's eyes, this man, Luce, was able to create a portal to this place. How interesting, I had not known he possesed such powers.

"Take my hand, and we shall go to Bimalon."

"Right."

OoC: there ya go!

OoC: Hehe, once we get to Rein, we'll have to carry this over to the other battle that I have with Andross, if you don't mind that is. I already have it to the point where Luce has arrived in that battle, so you can do whatever you want with Avyuir.

BiC: Into the portal they went went, hand in hand as if they were life-long friends. Luce did not know what to expect, but Avyuir was completely oblivious to what Bimalon even was. The image that filled their vision when they stepped out made them freeze. Neither of them could even keep their balance as they realized that the entire platform beneath them was falling out of the sky.

"Thi- this cannot be!" Luce shouted as he regained his footing. The once glorious aerial city of Bimalon was now a falling ruin that was quickly plummeting out of the sky. All that surrounded them was rubble and ruin, but not a single body could be seen. Avyuir could tell from what she saw that this must have been an amazing place.

"He did this already?" she asked in disbelief as she surveyed the massive damage to the seemingly endless platform of city. The one thing that neither of them noticed was the massive dragon that flew behind them.

"That dome... something tells me that they are in there," Luce said, staring at the dome in the distance, oblivious to the fact that his friend was mere yards away behind him. He and the visitor, Redrick, were running from the fiend that Rein had summoned.

Just then a massive blast came from the mouth of the wyrm and struck right in front of Avyuir and Luce, knocking both of them in complete opposite directions. Luce opened his eyes to find himself outside of the dome where Esni and Redrick had found themselves. Avyuir had not yet awoken. Luce could hear the cold, harsh voice of Rein Aeria from within the structure. Cautiously, Luce opened the back door to the dome.

Suddenly, a flux of luminescence flooded the half-circle dome and Rein stood before Esni and Redrick, unharmed and in a regal suit of what looked like light armor. In his hands was a bue bow with a massive aura, and stuck in the ground in front of him was a red blade with a similar aura.

"That thing you shot back there wasn't even me, it was a clone that I sent in to test your arrogance," Rein laughed. "Now which should I kill you with? The bow that tears apart any dimension it is shot in, or the blade that slayed the Creator of Silronia? It is your choice." He still had not noticed Luce's presence.

"They choose life!" came a voice from behind as the tall man with his long, majestic spear walked in the back entrance.

"Luce!" Esni yelled as he recognized the man immediately.

"Let's see how your 'invulnerability' fares against the spear that can never break, let's see which gives out first, let's see the power of Shareyu versus the power of Aeria!" Luce yelled as he charged in forward with his spear outstretched and pointed at Rein's head.

"Tch, still you have no gratitude for when I spared your life, oh well. You'll see how inferior you are!"

...All hope faded from the three mens' hearts as the tip of the spear met with the bare skin on the Undying Evil's forehead. The loudest shattering sound that any of them could imagine resonated through the entire dome and the city outside as the spear shattered at the tip and the wood down to the handle splintered, the pieces flying all over the ground. It had been decided that escape was the only choice left, as fighting this monster would lead to all of their deaths...

OoC: I suggest that you read Rein's bio, which is in my profile. Also pm Andross and read the battle Vestiges of Rein Aeria. We're at the point where they are heading off to save Avyuir after they escape that dome. You can post again in here if you want, but you can post it in the other battle after you have informed him.

OoC: I will join you seeing as you already introduced my character. I'll tell Andross, and then we can just post in that thread!
