::The sound of footsteps, marching? :: 'track her down that is an order!" ::a male voice yelled.::

::They were here, just barely in to town and he was giving orders like he owned the place.:: "Once she is found I , need to speak with her, spread out, ask anyone, everyone, Nowget out of my sight! Get to work!:; about fifteen men then scattered like roaches running through the streets of Ryhdins eeking out just one woman, shea::

:;The one giving the orders, wore shining armor, his long dark red hair tied back in to a pony tail, dark hues looked over the streets of Rhydin, if she was here he would find her.::




::Here and there they ran, checking through windows, looking in the Inn and Hall. Asking by standards.::

"You there!" :;One called out to a woman walking through the streets.::

::she stopped and turned:: "yes?"

::The man smiled to her:: " yes ma'am do you know this woman?" ::held out a poster with a very well done drawing of Shea.::

::The woman looked over it.:: " Hmm yes, I think I've seen her around the Inn?Is she wanted for something?"

::The man shook his head.:: " No, we just need to find her, which way is the Inn?"

::The woman pointed:: " that way."

::the man nodded and ran off in that direction:: "I wonder if I'll get a bonus if I find her first?" :: he poundered as he ran, slowly, it was hard as hell to run fast with all that danged armor.::


::Blahl paced, back and forth waiting, for his men to return with some news, her felt the wind at his side, was it Shea? His eyes moved over the empty streets:: " I have to find her before..." :: he didn't finish his thought:



::The night feel upon the city, quickly, darker by the moment. They had looked every where, the Inn was empty, the market place, empty. Now all fifteen men stood before the man in the shining plate armor, looking down, like a bunch of kids being scolded for breaking a window, but much much worse.::

:; one man gupled:: " we couldn't find her sir, we looked every where." :;he had gone to the inn, just as the woman had instructed, but it was empty, no sign of Shea. The men had gone all over Town, spoken to people rushing home in the darkness, most of the people were not well aquainted with Shea. And This was not the time for strangers to be walking around asking questions, with all that had gone on as of late in rhydin, little did any of them know that this was really bad timing::


"What do you mean you can find her? What did I bring all you worthless." :: a deep breath:: " just proves that if you want soemthing done right you do it your self." :; he took the poster out of the hands of the first man.:: " get out of my sight. Your all fired, report back to Darius, for punishment."

:: in a moment all fifteen turned and ran, tails between their legs,and they would disappear from view.::

"I'll find her my self." :he crumpled the paper a bit and walked along the road past the hall. Little did he know that at this hour Shea was just inside those doors.He passed by them wlaking away from the hall, down the street, pulling that cloaks hood over his face, as he made way to the market place, even if he had to stay up all night, look in every alley way he would find her. He ahd to explain, he had to ... the fury rose in his dark eyes, for one the paladin, normally calm was angry.::



Meanwhile in Crendia

"he did What!" ::shavyns voice rang through the palace grounds::

Kulbin stood in front of her, " he left yesterday while we were off , umm, and now hes in Rhydinw ith fifteen men, and a rather nicely drawn poster of shea,seeking her out."


::Shavyn ran her fingers through her hair.:: "I've got to warn her..."

::Kulbin smiled:: " by the time any word you send to her gets there, he would have found her."


::Shay sighed:: " when shea wants to be hidden she will remain hidden, he will find her when she wants to be found."


:;Kulbin smiled:: " she said her self that if he wanted her to come and find her."

:;Shay sighed:: " she may be serious about that, but what deos he think hes going to accomplish?"

::a shrug:: "most likely, he'll brust in on her, and they will have a nice big fight."

"What! Why?"

"Beacuse, he read that letter two you know, he knows about this other man."

::Shay casta look to him:: " I know that, but what does he think that she would just say 'oh i understand that your sorry', and all would be forgiven? He dismissed her twice... he showed no sign that he cared for her at all, I mean come on Kulbin."

:;He simply nodded.: " One things for sure M'love, I would not want to be the other man.. Blahl is going to rip him apart if he catches him."

"All the more reason for me to warn her, any way I can." :: Off she went quickly towards the palace. Kulbin followed closely behind.: " What are you going to do?!"

Moments later

Shavyn knelt in the garden of the palace chanting under her breath, Kulbin slowly caught up to her.

"Love, what are you doing?"

:;She held up a finger to him, she was focused, on the ground, no matter where shea was there would be earth, ground, roots, it was all connected.:: "Yala onna en' kemen.Templa tel cartel."

::Slowly a rose appeared before Shay, a bright silvery white one, that shown in the moon light, one of the rarest roses in all of her home land she had drawn it through the earth, right out of the rose woods, she looked to it, touched the soft petals and then it sunk in to the earth again, it would be on its way to Shea, through the earth::


"No matter where she is, I can always find her. As long as she is on earth, so as long as shes not sailing away some where, my rose will find her. Your brother, has lost hsi mind he went off there in a rage, full of fury, there is no telling what he might do, at least I can give her a warning.That way she be ready for anything."

::Kulbin sighed:: " theres no telling what he'll do, he is not in his right mind.I just hope he doesnt do anything stupid."

::those words echoed through the garden, and Shavyn sighed, hoping against all else that her message would get to Shea in time. Shavyn had no idea how close Blahl was to finding her, and doing something stupid::

::After what seems like forever the day seemed to fade slowly still no sign of Shea though he'd spent most of his time in the cemetery, and woods out lying from the main city, he finally made his way back in to town, back over the water and towards the market place.::


::After keeping hidden most of the day Shea was in the market place a place she found some of her most comfort it was the most like home, despite the fact that most of the fights she had to date had taken place in the very center of the very place. She had regained that smile, after walking about most of the day thinking about Connar, how she felt about him. Now she walked back towards the inn, hood still pulled high over her face: it was that white cloak that she wore now, she figured it be easier not to wear the green one seeing as how it was like wearing a huge target on her back:: Eyes were cast downward as she walked::


::He walked through the market place, he had his own cloaks hood pulled high over his face and laced tight around him, his armor gave him a way, with that large cloak around him he just looked like another guy walking through the market place. His eyes were cast off then..::

::Crash, the two hit each other::

"Oh I?m so sorry, miss." :: at first he didn?t recognize that cloak, then like a bolt of lighting it hit him he'd seen that white cloak before way back when in Shea's lands, that as a cloak from Amethyst Rose.::

::The moment they crashed in to each other, she knew it was him, all this time planning out and hiding and they just run in to each other.::

"Shea!" :;His hand pushed back his hood as he grabbed her arm tightly.::

::My hood fell back I looked to him, I didn't speak. His grasp on my arm was tight, a bit too tight for my liking: " M'lord ..."

::His eyes were dark, filled with fury, he took her scent in, she smelt like... a push, he let her go.:: " you smell like ... where is he?"

::I was tossed backwards, my back hit one of the neighboring walls. I winced, I had not been prepared for him to do that, having forgotten all about his heightened senses, he could smell Connar on her clothes... Jade hues looked to him:: "Leave C.." ::I stopped I would not say his name, thus putting Connar in danger:: "Leave him out of this, what are you doing here?"

::He looked to me and walked up to close hand firmly planting against the wall next to my head: " you said if I wanted you to come and find you."

::I looked on, a bit frightened, he was stronger than me, nearly ten fold. I took a moment:: "I also said not to expect a warm welcome." ::I started to move::

::His hand met my shoulder and pushed me back against the wall hard.:: " you think you can just walk away, you were the one who said if I wanted you to find you, well I found you and now your coming back home with me." :: He pushed harder upon her pressing her right shoulder back in to the hard surface of the building.::

::I winced, I dared not move, it hurt to much to move.:: "Im not going any where with you, not now. And Crendia is not my home. GreenStone is."

::He pressed in closer to her, looking to the pain in her eyes, he didn?t even flinch:: " I thought you wanted me?" ::His other hand started up her side, pushing slowly under that thin cloth.:;

::I moved a bit, he wad not him self, this was not the man I had fallen in love with, this was not the man who took me out on that dinner date.:: " your hurting me."

::His hand pushed hard against her shoulder, he leaned in closer the other hand going up her side, future to feel the bottom of that silken wrap that was bound about her breasts. His fingers raced over the cloth, over the form of her breast, he leaned in close and kissed her holding her against that building tightly with his other hand.::


::I tore away from the kiss, I do not say that I in the past haven?t wanted him to kiss me, but not like this. And although I might have wished for his touch in the past this was not the way I have ever wanted it to be :: " your hurting me..." :; I pleaded with him again, I could feel my shoulder move under the weight of his hand, it rubbed against the building and started to bleed. He would break my shoulder if he pushed much more. I attempted to move, my hand if I could reach any of my weapons I could push him a way, I didn?t want to hurt him, but this was not him, something was wrong.::

:;He eyed her, seeing her hand move, he moved his hand the one upon her shoulder and the one that had been under her shirt and took her wrists in his grasp and pushed her arms up high upon the wall pressing them tightly to the wall behind her, he pressed in tightly to her:

"Ahh.." :: I let out a scream, as his hands moved grasping my wrists, pushing them back to the wall, where he held them tight.:: "Stop this, this is not you... what are you doing...!"

::His eyes looked to her, dark, as if possessed, fury burned in his eyes.:: " tell me the other mans name, and the pain stops."

::I couldn?t believe what I was hearing... "Blahl..." :; my voice cracked, I wasn?t about to let him go after Connar, he had no reason to If I could reason with him, maybe then he?d understand.::

::His eyes focused on her, he pressed her hands back to the wall.:: " tell me Shea, do you love him? What does he give you that i can not...? has he pleased you? ::grip tightened:: " does he love you?"

::I squirmed, I wouldn?t call for help, though I could have, we were smack in the middle of the market place, just hidden in the shadows now, I could see the Rhydin city guards walking through the streets, for a moment I thought of calling for help but I didn't, eyes looked to Blahl... my eyes spoke volumes over what my words might have, they looked right in to his eyes.:; ? That?s none of your business.? ::Words squeaked out::

"You do love him..." :; his grip was getting tighter... I could feel the bones in my wrist start to twist...:: " But you haven?t been with him... even though he loves you... why not Shea?" :: he pressed tighter against me:: " what have you been waiting for?"

::I wanted to scream, not only for help but in pain:: " Its not always about desire... and sex.. you know, I do enjoy romance and the company of man, it doesn?t have to include sex..." :: the words broke through my lips.:;

::he looked to me, he was pressed tightly against me I could barely breath:: " I know you Shea, I know you long for the pleasure you once had with Adaron... "

::Now I was mad, how dare he bring Adaron in to his:: " Adaron loved me...It was not just about pleasure, "

:;He smirked:: " he took advantage of you, and once he found out about Aiden he decide to love you."

::Now that was enough, I had heard enough.:: " That?s not true... you don't have any Idea... what was between Adaron... And I " ::I couldn?t move my hands, but it didn?t mean that I couldn?t kick him, or at least try. I started to move my left foot, staring to bend at the knee.::

:;He looked to me and pushed me in closer, now he was tighter against me. Face inches from mine, my legs were pushed back against the wall, I was trapped. I have been in many fights over the years, lost a good amount of them as well, but in all that time no man, no one has ever made me a victim, and I was not about to become one.::

::He pressed a kiss to my lips, I tore away again.:: ?Let me? Go..? ::I shouted, then he took one of his hands off my wrist and held it to my mouth, his other hand quickly grabbed my free wrist and held it tight with the other.:: ?Shh?now I?m going to ask you one more time, where is this man you ?love? so dearly,? I think I should have a talk with him about taking other men?s women ?.?

::I bit his hand, the one he held over my mouth, hard. Drawing blood.:; ?Im not yours, I was never yours to begin with!?

::he reeled back with a scream. I was free, but hardly out of the woods yet. My shoulder hurt, my wrists did as well, both wrists bleed softly as did my shoulder, my shoulder was a lost cause, surely broken. My right wrist to painful to move. But my left felt alright.. Good thing I could wield a blade with both hands. I?d have to remind my self to thank Dristan the next time I spoke to him. With reflexes still lighting quick my hand moved, graced the hilt of that sword at my left and drew it, I held it out to him tip inches from his neck.:: ?You are not your self, the man I knew, the man I loved, would never hurt me like this?Get out of Rhydin, go home? these sins can not be forgiven, not be me and surely not by any god or goddess??

He staggered back, with a blink.. As if just now realizing what he?d done:; ?But Shea? I??


::I winced, the pain pulsed through me, I held strong:: ? Your not the man I fell for , back in GreenStone. Your not the man whom took me on that romantic date in Crendia, you?re a crude perversion of him.. Get out of my sight, before you learn just how powerful I can be.".:: ::jade hues focused on him sparking with magic?s, spinning within my jade hues I knew he could see that bright blue light, the winds blew at him powerful, violent.::

?Shea.. I?m??

::A low growl slipped from my lips:: ? if you say your sorry I will beat you to death??

::He slunk back: ? But Shea I?L"..:: Had he snapped back to his senses, hardly, but he was willing to try anything at this point::

::Another growl:: ? don?t you dare say it, not now, not to make your self feel better about hurting me, I loved you once? and I had hoped that you felt the same, but don?t you even dare to say it? this can not be forgiven.. ? ::Once, now that love was dead, he was not the man he was when I met him, not bound by honor, no pledge to any god or goddess, not a paladin, a mere perversion of what he used to be.

:;He slunk back more, until he could stand out of reach from her blade. He turned and walked away, but he would not leave Rhydin: Oh no not until he could get his hands around the neck of the man that took Shea from him. A man filled with fury, a man on a mission::

::I sheathed my blade slowly, watching him walk off as the sun set. I sank down in to the shadows of the alley way, tears falling from my eyes, not only tears of pain.. but of sorrow. The pain in my heart just as painful as the pain from those wounds. Down I fell from feet to knees, to upon my back?the winds howled past me.. Over me, as I felt the chill of the night start to come over me, it was more than that. It was the blood loss as well, I could feel it trickling out of my shoulder, the bone was broken, piecing through the skin just a bit, not too badly broken, I had felt worse, my right wrist was broken, I couldn?t move it. My left wrist just a sprain. Luckily as I lay back my white cloak moved, my back lay against the cold ground::

:: I held that cloak over me across me from left to right letting the blood drip down to the stone. I shivered. I had to move: I had to get up to warn Connar? but I couldn?t move:: ?Help..? :: soft whispers of words left my lips and floated up in to the air?if nothing else, Connar would feel that pulse of wind, hear my words, feel the tinge of magic pulse through his blade, through that coin he had embedded there in the hilt..::

::Dark eyes watched from not far away, possessed perhaps: Angry Oh yes.::

"So that be your name!" :: His voice called from where he stood, hidden by cloaks hood and shadow, a laugh emanted from his mouth as well.. He was moving in the shadows not something he would normally do.:: "Connar..."

" So the mystery man appears at last." ::He stepped out of the shaodws, cloaks hood still drawn high. He walked towards Connar and looked to the words written in blood upon the wall:: "So your the man who took Shea from me":: a glance to him:; "Now what could she possibly see in you? ." ::A step closer, hood pulled down, dark eyes gazed to Connar, there was a darkness about this normally very good and light man, fury filled his eyes.He could smell Shea on this man:: " Where is Shea any way? I.. need to explain my self.." :: feeling guilty, was he? no just staling for time::

:: Blahl stood still in front of Connar looking to him:

::He was hit, once ,twice, flying back: hardly expecting such power To the ground, then up in fluid motions, he could not have expected: Dark eyes looked to Connar, nose bleeding, blood dripping from his lips. Slamed to the wall. He took in a breath through his nose, barely able to breathe in the first place, Eyes gazed down to the balde at his heart, he coughed, spitting out blood to the ground below. He was pinned, not expecting Connar to be any sort of warroir, least of all one with skills and a blade:: "Huh.." :: he forced words through his mouth:: " I wasn't expecting that" :: another sit of blood to the ground. Eyes looking to the blade, then back to Connar::

::As the two fought, not far from the market place ::

::They ran as quickly as their feet could take them.Shea had started to fall behind, moving was not a good idea, especially after Kulbin just set that bone in her wrist. She stopped, Taking a breather. ::

?It hurts to much to go any further.? ::My voice called to Shay::

::Shavyn stopped and turned and came back to my side::? easy, sit down.?

::I slowly sat down on the ground, we were just barely half way to the Market place.::

::Kulbin stopped and looked back.: ? come on ladies, we have to move.?

:Shavyn cast a glance at him:: ? she?s still healing this is only going to make it worse.?

::Kulbin turned and came back and knelt beside me.: ? Where does it hurt Shea? Your shoulder, or that wrist bone I set??

::I took a breath, I was staling. Some where inside of me I wanted Connar to rip Blahl apart. If he deserved it or not In his right mind or not I had a right to vengeance. I didn?t care if he was possessed or just a mad man from the beginning just barely coming to light, I didn?t care what the case was, no matter in his right mind or not the things he said, the things he did couldn?t be forgiven, least of all by me..::

::Shavyn looked to him, then to me waiting for an answer I didn?t have:: ? Shea??


::Kulbin looked to Shay, then to me a bit impatient and worried:: ?I?m going off on my own, I can find the market place.? ::He knew he could sense his brother, but something was wrong, his brother had a natural balance about him, that Kulbin always felt when they were close, and this feeling he had was not of his brother being balanced, perhaps this was why Blahl had never tried to love or be with any woman, perhaps he knew about this darker side, which seemed odd, for a paladin:: ? ?I can sense him, something?s off balance?

::Shavyn looked to him then back to me:: ?Shea? Think you can move? ?

::I looked to Shay then to Kulbin, I had to stall:: ?If you maybe used some of that druid magic of yours, I could move with out any pain, how about it Kulbin??

:;He looked to me: : ? that will take too long.?

::I sat back slowly:: ? you?ll never find the market by your self, and since Shavyn is the only other one here besides me that knows where it is.. ?

::He looked to Shay:: ? alright then shall we love??

::Shay shook her head:: ? Someone should stay here with her, I?m not going to leave her just sitting here in pain.?

::I smiled:: ? so you an either go off try to use your senses to find him, or help me out do a little healing and then we can move faster.?



::He cast look to Shay:: ? Why is she always right?? :: he walked towards me and knelt down beside me.:: ? alright, at first this might hurt, but then the pain should dull.?

::Shavyn held my hand, looking in to my eyes, some how I knew that she knew that I was stalling, she squeezed my hand, smiling to me with a nod. That was when I knew, she knew exactly what I was doing.::

::I squeezed back, knowing that even if he was quick to help the pain, we would still have to run a few blocks before we could even see the market place, I hoped that I had bought Connar time. I wasn?t worried, I knew he could handle him self. :: ?Okay?? ::I looked to Kulbin, and nodded::

::The healing would begin::

:;He focused chanting in a tongue neither Shay nor I knew, his hands would glow, and pass slowly over my left arm. He was staring with the least painful areas, which meant my shoulder would be last, I closed my eyes. Letting the deep healing go through me, even as he healed me I set my focus on the feeling I now got from Connar, that tinge of magic that would pulse from the hilt of his new improved blade. I squeezed Shavyn?s hand, a bit for the pain, and a bit for her understanding. I wondered, what would those two discuss? Would there be any discussion at all with words? Or would there just be the crash of blades ? I knew Blahl was skilled, strong: But Connar could match him, and with that new improved blade, maybe see through the darkness that had seemed to cover the once holy paladin. But still I had to wish that It had never come to this::

"Alight? How do you feel? " :: Kulbin smield to Shea::

::she smiled back:: "Better, lets move" :: back up on my feet, and back we all went to running towards the market place::



::The winds behind them , moved them faster through the streets, I led the way through the streets, we must have looked like quite the trio: Shavyn and I green cloaks flying, Kulbin moving with the spead of a panther, over debris, past other people like a bolt of lightining. We ran, jumped, moved past the other people around the corners as sharply as we could muster:: "This way!" :;My voice echoed as I turned a corner quickly, Shay and Kulbin at my heals:

;:I could feel the pulse of amagic from Connar's blade. I could feel that darkness about, maybe I shouldn't have stalled so long. I ran faster, as fast as my legs could carry me, we were getting closer, I could hear the sound of fighting.::

::Kulbin was right at ym side Shavyn now fallen a bit behind:: "Love pick up the pace..." :: Kulbin called back to Shay::

:I looked back over my shoudler,looking back to Shay, she smiled to me, and picked up the pace. We were closing in, but I had no idea what kulbin had planned::

"There they are..." :;He called, he could see them, he moved faster in front of me, and down through the street. Shavyn caught up with me and now we both had to catch up with Kulbin.::

"STOP!" ::Kulbin moved quickly, towards his brother and Connar, he knew what had transpired but he also knew something was not right. ::

::Shay smiled to me, as we ran, I looked towards Connar as we got closer. I could see the tip of his balde over blahls chest. I saw Blahls face bloody beated, I could help but smile just a tad, though I may have wanted him dead, if Kulbin was right, then even i couldn't let it pass, but I said nothing... just ran, it was Shay whom then took off in front of me as I began to fall back::

"Connar..." :: Shavyn called as she closed in, Kulbin was steps ahead of her::

::Kulbin was already there, taking a breath, looking from his brother to Connar:: "Wait..."

:;Kublin ran to slow, to late, he saw the balde fly, hit flesh, and the other man disaapeard. Kulbin moved to his brother, impaled through the stomach:: " wheres your armor?" :;surised t see his brother with out his shinning plate mail::

:;Shavyn steps behind:: "Shea!"

::I stood not moving, i had wanted it this way::


::Shavyn moved to Kulbins side:: "can he be healed?"

::Kulbin nodded.:: " yes, the wound is deep, we need to get him back to Crendia":. Emerald hues looked in to his brothers dimming eyes:: " he has been possessed, I can see it, this is His work, Rae's master. This is just a taste of whats to come.Shay help me lift him."

::Shay moved to one side of Blahl as Kulbin moved to the other, taking one arm over his sjoudler, Shay took the others over hers.:: 'Shea.. your healing skills could be used here."

::Blahl looked to me trying to speak but all that came out of his mouth was blood::

::I looked to her, then back to Kulbin, then to Blahl, possessed or not I didn't care:: " Kulbin can heal him just as well as I can, so can you..you need no my skills for that. I hope you know im not going back with you, not now, I dont intend to return to Crendia, not after what he did to me, Shay."

::Shay nodded.::

"I will only return for three reasons: for you my sister, if you are injured or need of my help, for Aiden: if he needs me for any reason: And lastly for the goddess Willow, for I owe her that much.I will not return if Darius wishes it, I am letting you take charge Shay. I will send this word to Salice, all orders consitering Crendia are to go to you.. I can not trust this man this thing any longer." ::eyes cast to Blahl::

:;Kulbin looked to me:: " I understand, I will tell Darius my self... I am sorry for what he did. This veneangence was rightfull, I can not look down on that man nor you for it, we are allies Shea, even if you hate Blahl. I will always be an ally to you.And to GreenStone, I also have no quraller with Connar... is it? He was right to do this, I would have expected nothing less. If I were in his shoes I would have cut off the mans head, if it were Shay that had been hurt. I am also sorry, for what he did, I know it cant mean much to you, but still"

::I nodded:: " Thank you Kulbin,What will happen to him?"

"He will be taken to Darins temple to be healed, and if he lives, he will have to be judged: As you said possessed or not, he must have been some what willing in the first place, we will have to see, but it brings good news to you, if this is Tancreds work, then Raevyn should follow us back, seeing Blahl like this will only make he, well in lack of a better word, lustfull for him."

::I nodded looked to blahl bloody, bleeding the winds whipped past me.:: "save travels, seler', Kulbin:: My eyes moved to Shay:: Some where deep with in me, I wanted him to feel the pain I felt , the fear, I hoped that Connar had given him that terror and fear::

::Slowly the three slipped away from the market place carring blahl with them, I could feel the shadows move, Raevyn followed them, as Kulbin had predicted.I looked to the debris all over the market place the blood, both mine and blahls, then to where Connar ahd disaapeared, I pulled my cloak high and turned and walked away from the market place. The treat was gone. I heaed towards the inn a thought piercing in my head spoke to the winds.:: " perhaps it is I.. that has caused all this... and nothing more." :;I couldn't help but think that it was I who had caused all this pain and grief.Eyes cast down ward as I kicked the debris away::

::Away to the Inn I went to rest more :upstairs I went in to the room::

::Darkness came quickly, I had sat now in front of that small fire palce in that room for the rest of the day, reading that book, looking over the scrolls, tracing my fingers over the words on the binding of that book. My mind had been riddled with too many questions... It had bene a logn time since I felt like this, so rage filled, wanting vengeance, I had not sight such veneanged since Adaron died, since the day I clashed with Jinnalt. Now that veneanges was taken, I felt better. ::

::Once dusk had come, I opened the window, and let the breeze fly free. The fight was over, enemies and allies gone... but where was Connar? I sent out my winds to call to him. In hopes that he would find me::

all alone in a shut up room, before a fire

reading words, making ready with blades and armor...

a feeling deep insde she can not hide, a feeling even deeper she knows all too well


shuttered rooms cold and dank...


the fight is over, but the battle now begins

:;Time spent in the inn this afternoon, antic taken in, as well as intersting things to see.::

::I waited as a good hunter would for their kill. I waited upon the roof top, just above that alley way in the market palce, as she sun dipped below the horizon. My magic and blade ready.I was waiting for Raevyn.::

Hello Lover.. :: The male voice floated to me, I didnt expect him to find me here. I rose to my feet and faced him::

I dont have time for you.. ::I gazed to him::

You don't have much time left :; he smirked, walking closer to me::

Thats pretty bold of you to say... :; mt hand graced the hilt of my sword::

Take in to fact that your out skilled.. you mayu want to run, lover, I'll give you five seconds.. :; he smiled dimly to me:: for old times sake..

::I smiled back:: and for the same sake, I wont go easy on you..this wont take long.. can we just fight and get it over. :: blade drawn and I ran for him::

Oh I didn't come ehre to fight you love, I was thinking maybe we could get back together.. what do you think?

;I looked to him::

All right we can fight...:;He smirked and drew out a broad sword, and mine met it. The clash of steel to mithral rose over the empty market place. My gaze shifted over my shoudler to that four foot drop in to the alley below. I pressed forward.:;



::Parry,dogde ,clash. ::

:: My sword crashed against his as we moved along the roof top.::

:;His swung up and I ducked myine swung under and he jumped. I moved over old boxes on the roof top and leapt to the ajoining building. He followed.:: Some how it feels like your hearts not in this love :: he smirk as he swung the sword at my head::

::I ducked drawing up again close to him::

:;He elbowed me in the face as the guards of out blades met each other. I reeled back and spun and kicked him in the cheast sending him backwards over the edge down in to the street. I jumped down after him smashing a few clay pots as I landed::

::Blahl rose an came back to meet me, balde risen high I ducked under it and spun my balde in my hand slashing him across the arm.::

::He gazed to me, the wind blew through his long red hair, his eyes dark, as I gazed to them. I had to remind my self who I was fighting, no matter the darkness that ahd taken him over he was still more skileld than I in armed combat..even after all my traiing:: Gosh love, you'd think you could just do it...

:;He rushed at me and the wind blew at him, I was tired of this fighting, it was time to pull out the big guns..it was magic time.::

::The wind hit him and toppled him back.:: Come on :; I looked to him:; lets finish this me and you.

::He snickered looking to me:: this isnt about you love.. it never was about you..

::As he fell I saw a flicker of darkness from the alley way with the portala nd out came Raevyn as the sun set, she was in the form of me, she smiled to me and gave me a little wave. Blahl was a diversion..:I knew it then::

:;He rushed in at me, to keep me busy as Raevyn walked out of the market wearing my face..:: And.. :: his fist met my cheek:: you fall for it every time.. :: he spun around to kick me::

::I spun past him and kicked Blahl in the side as he came spinning towards me. The kick landed but he grabbed my leg and spun me on to my back, and slid me back against the building wall., my blade slid from my grip and stuck in to the soil between the cobble stone:: So thats it.. :; he smirked holding the tip of that broad sword down at me:: no weapons,no friends.. no hope, take that all away...and whats left? :; As he spoke I closed my eyes..his blade thrusted towards me, and my hands rose up and caught it inbetween them.:: Me.. :; I pushed the blade back thrusting the hilt in to his face and kicked him away. As he stumbled back I rose up and grabbed my blade. I swung it aroun in my grip,looking to him.::

::Again the blades clashed.. our fight was starting to draw the attention of the guards, and some others there in the market place::

Will you call for thier aide? :; he asked as guard met guard again, we stood inches away from each other:: this is my fight..:; I pushed him back:: not theres...

:;he smirked:: I was hpoing it might go this way...

::Then I recalled something, something Shay had told me back in the Mith Woods the morning that I left..::

"Willow said Connar is destine to kill Blahl before he goes back to his world..." ::Destiny..::

:: As much as I wanted venagance I wanted more so to spot Raevyn..I kicked him once,twice,three times. Across the face the first too times, then in the chest, then the hilt of my balde met his face, once twice three times. Then my I switched hands holding the blade in my left hand and punched him hard across the face::

:;He took the hits ,falling back with each kick and blow of my hilt filled fist. He smirked as he fell back on to his back side. Coughing, he looked to me, for a moment he looked as he did when I had cared for him.. his eyes shifted a moment, from dark back to their natural color.. for a moment the darkness lost its grip.:: You can't kill me.. you don't have what it takes :;he rose to his feet that darkness quickly took back its hold as he spoke to me::

::I sheathed my swrd and my boot rose and I kicked him between the legs hard:: Give me time.. :;I could have killed him, I wanted to.. but it was not his time..I was not to be the one to send him to death, who was I to stop what was meant to be..::

:: He fell to his knees coughing then doubled over on to his stomach. I then turned and walked away, off to find Raevyn and end the fight. I would find her, and I would kill her this night, I would not hold back. I would use everything I had learned.I would stop the coming darkness, even if it took every thing I had.::

::I knew where she would go, where ever she figured she'd find Connar, I hadnt seen him for a while, we'd both been busy. I knew it was unlikely he'd be at the Inn tonight. But thats where Rae would go, so I would go there too, to stop her. Even if Connar wasn't there, there were plenty of other people there that she could hurt, and I would not allow it.. now while I still ahd breath in me to stand against her.::

:;Crash::

::A tree fell from the force of Shea's wind elemental that blew violently through the woods. Shea could hear guards in the woods, groaning and moaning in pain, not her doing, but she was also not about to let them be found.::

:: The winds would blow hard to make sure that they wouldn't be found by the likes of the guards, some who hunted her now.. Shea was in pure fight mode.. she'd have her vengeance..::

::Blade to blade, magic to magic. the two women fought, blood from both sides all ready crossed the ground. Dark magic cracked in the sky, but the wind and the earth under foot shook. Here and now Shea would find her power, over all the elements. Her hair shimmered in the dark of the night, eyes of shimmering silver focused on Raevyn. As their blades crashed against each other.::

::Raevyn smirked looking back to Blahl, then to Shea. A powerful bolt of darkness hit Shea square in the chest, knowing her back against a tree::

::Shea was knocked out for only a moment, as her hands lay upon the ground it shook, and vines came up and wrapped them selves around Raevyn's legs. Thorns from the vines would sprout, and dig in to Raevyn like knives...::

::Blahl was about to step in.. It would be two against one..if Reavyn managed to get free.::

::Shea's mind was focused on the fight, but also on that flickering portal behind Blahl, it wasn't to Crendia.. she knew where it led. Laying there hands upon the shaking soil she started to rise, as Blahl came at her full force...:::

::Your never ready for the big moments....In the darkness of night. You have to know what to see. You have to look, not just with your eyes.. you must see it to understand.. Fury cannot be contained::
