The dragon flew as fast as she could, coming to a stop at the school, and landing, she leaned against the doors a moment to catch her breath.

After a few moments, she called out, Briarius!!

A swirl of black and the Headmaster stood in front of the dragon.

"Is there something I can help you with?"

Icer1978

She was still breathing heavilly, her flight taking much out of her, Tina... where is she?

It was obvious that the dragon was worried, theres a man who's after children with the powers of the four elements, already, he's caught James, but the boy was released, though missing a finger, my daughter is another, I came to warn you.

:: And the cat bound inside looking alot like sabre as he moved to the girls room knowing the blueprints inside and out...his form changing to smoke now that he was inside the schools walls::

The dragon flew as fast as she could, being careful not to lose her passengers, and slamming down just outside the building, she stalked inside, nostrils quivering, catching the scent, the dragon slid around a corner, she also knew the school, and appeared in front of the cat, her tail twitching:: going somewhere...

She blocked his path, then let out a roar loud enough to wake everyone in the building.

:: The cat grinned and vanished into smoke quickly getting into Tina's room as the fire roared to life...and he took out the knife as he reformed and lightly pricked her just enough to get a few drops into the vial as the little girl sat there scared half to death..but the maniac just grinned as he sliced nex into her arm and leg getting more before diving and vanishing into the flame...claming his third::

"Briarius.. " She called out from Icer's back. " He's here. He's posing as Sabre! He's after Tina! He'll hurt her like he did James!"


She only hoped he remembered her from the Inn.

Briarius

The Headmaster's appearance took a very dark turn as he touched a crystal at his neck. He was immediately teleported to Tina's side. As the man began to vanish into flame, Briarius shut the school off from the Material Plane, rendering his teleport useless. He looked at the man standing in the flame.

"...and just where do you think you're going?"

The Headmaster had now seemed to take on a different visage. Although it was as if he was turned into a vampire. A seemingly powerful one at that. He began to set up more wards to keep the assailant in this room and he kept watch over Tina.

:: He grinned to the man a bit and raised his hands as black fire enveloped him...his master had interviened...a loud mad cackle was all that could be heard...for the man was gone::

Tina Storms

Date: 2006-12-02 11:56 EST
:: She screamed when the man had entered her room..and cut her!..he had cut her!::

Daddy!...

:: And she watched as her father appeared and the man vanish into black fire...she sobbed then...the pain....there was something more causing her pain..she sobbed and sobbed as she bled there in her own bed::

Shauri

Icer's voice.... the tingling of bells as someone entered Tina's room, someone not authorized and had set off the magical warning in Sha'uri's head... Tina's Scream, which woke her from her sleep, causing her to bolt upright in bed.... and the voices in her daughter's room.

Only clad in her somewhat sheer nighty, she teleported in there in time to see the black fire envelope a figure and hear the cackling voice. She wasn't paying attention to that, she was trying get her bearings... something felt, wrong.

A wary gaze was given to Bri as she protectively took Tina in her arms, casting spells to heal the girl's wounds, negate the poison and psionically seal it mended... and pulled Tina to the opposite side of the bed with her.

"Shh... I'm here.. we're here... shh.. it's okay now."

She kept staring at Bri.

"What's going on?"

Briarius

Date: 2006-12-03 08:29 EST
Briarius threw a small gem at the man and it struck him before he vanished. He then turned to Tina as Sha'uri rushed in. He gently pushed the woman away from the girl.

"Please stand back, your healing will be required soon, but I know this psychopath's work."

He held Tina by the shoulders and looked into her eyes as he bagan chanting words of power. Tina's wounds were healing, but corresponding points of Briarius' body were decaying. It was as if he was forcing the broken parts of Tina to vanish to be replaced with the life energy he had. His arm and leg withered away, but Tina was alright now. He looked at Sha'uri.

"Now this is where your healing is required..."

He gave her a very pained smirk.

The dragon slid through the halls of the school, trying her best not to show her anger, and pausing, she swivelled her neck toward her back, glancing toward Kitty who was clinging, Kitty, it's alright, you can ease up now we're not in the air anymore.

Then continuing on, talons clicked on the floor as she made her way toward Tina's room, another pause to take a deep cleansing breath as she moved past the threshold, nodding each to Briarius and Shauri in turn, then to Tina.

I thought I could distract him ::frowning abit, that...man, she was thinking of another name, but since a child was present, it wouldn't be used. He's a nuisance, thats after four children, each with an element, my daughter Liena is one of them.

Shauri

Date: 2006-12-03 16:47 EST
"Now this is where your healing is required..."


She was speechless as she watched him... remembering... how her mother used to heal, and her father did the same. Even she used to take the wounds of others upon herself. That had been so long ago, a part of herself she had forgotten and she wasnt even sure how that happened.

Watching Bri now, his arm and leg withering away, brought tears to her eyes. Sapphire hues deepened, darkened to an emerald depth that hadn't been there in a long time. Her long graceful fingers came to her lips as the tears fell to trail along them while she kissed them. Then she brought her fingers to the withered stumps pressing gently, warmly to his wounds lending regenerative energy to flow from her to him, literally replacing his life essence with hers. She felt the pain....

"Okay now?"

It was her turn to smirk with pain. Her arm and leg withered to a stump, then immediately began to regenerate again.

"Brings a whole new meaning to ... I feel your pain, man."

She started to smile until she heard Icer's words, bringing Sha'uri back to the real problem at hand and what was going on.


I thought I could distract him ::frowning abit, that...man, she was thinking of another name, but since a child was present, it wouldn't be used. He's a nuisance, thats after four children, each with an element, my daughter Liena is one of them.

She frowned, stretching her arm and wiggling her new fingers.

"Dumb question... How many elements are there? More importantly, who else might he go after and what is the purpose? We've got to find him. It sounds like it could have something to do with some ritual. Maybe?"

Icer1978

Date: 2006-12-03 22:57 EST
There are four Shauri, my daughter Liena, the boy James, Tina and my brother Talos, as far as I know, Liena is the only he hasn't gotten to yet, but he takes a piece of the child.

The dragon tilted her head as if thinking for a moment, something was mentioned about a master of his, and freeing him.

Briarius

Date: 2006-12-04 07:22 EST
The Headmaster stood.

"Well then, perhaps we can go find out where my gem went..."

He still looked vaguely undead at this point, but Sha'uri knew that when she healed him that he was a living elf. He walked to his office, but before he left, he cast some wards about this room so nothing was getting in or out magickally without a lot of pain.

Shauri

Date: 2006-12-04 16:58 EST
Noticing the spell being raised round the room, Sha'uri made a mental note to remember nOt to magic herself into the room again. It reminded her to add some wards of her own round the place. For now, she cast a spell to clean up the blood and mess in the room.

"Okay.."

He said We, right? shrugging to her own silent question, she picked Tina up in her arms, now that she had them both back again, and slowly made to follow him, motioning the others to follow, though she did seem unsure as she went. She was unsure of several factors but was trying to keep her mind focused on making sense of it.

"Okay, so there are four elements. Each child represents an element in some way, though I don't know how this correlates. I mean.. do you know which element is which child? And where is your daughter now, Icer? Interesting though... boy, girl ... boy, girl. I wonder if that correlates..."

Icer1978

The dragon moved along behind Shauri and Briarius, bringing up the rear, my daughter is fire, Talos is Earth, Tina I believe would be wind, and James is air, and last I knew, my daughter was staying with Chryrie, giving a nod toward Kitty who was still clinging abit, her sister.

Shauri

Date: 2006-12-04 20:05 EST
Blink.

"Air?"

She didn't say it, but wondered if that wasn't supposed to be water. She was a little frazzled and wasn't sure of anything at the moment, except her motherly protective instinct was in high gear.

"Anyway, I don't know when this guy will attack again, but perhaps extra measures should be taken now. Your daughter might be our last chance to catch this guy, depending on what Bri finds in his office."

She glanced at Bri's back, wondering just what they would find in his office.

Tina Storms

:: She clung to her mother just wishing this wasn't happening...whhy would someone hurt her..she didn't do anything wrong did she...did she..?::

Mommy....I'm scared....

Briarius

Date: 2006-12-05 07:26 EST
Briarius chuckles darkly.

"Storms...I get it. Remind me to get her name changed."

He opens the door to his office and pulls out a shallow bowl. He half fills it with water and pricks his finder with a nearby dagger and a single drop of blood falls into the bowl. He chants a few words and the image in the bowl is not the reflection of the room but...something else...

Shauri

Date: 2006-12-05 19:26 EST
Blink. She had a brief moment of fighting the urge to reach out and thwack Briari on the back of his head. The words came slowly.. but calmly.

"Uh...yeah, we should talk about that sometime with her and discuss what she wants to do about that."

She followed him in, rubbing Tina's back to comfort her. Then stepped a little closer to the bowl and slowly tried to peer in....

"What's for dinner honey?" she whispered it with a little dry sarcasm and scrunched up her nose.

Icer1978

Date: 2006-12-05 21:54 EST
She had meant water, but the dragon wasn't in the best of moods to begin with, still, she followed behind the others, keeping rather silent.

:: Black fire swirled in the image of that bowl and then dark eyes...an emptiness filled the room as they heard the dark laugh of one...one that did not attack the girl::

Why have you searched me out mage...Answer Me!

:: fire started seeping through the barrier of the bowl as he spoke::

Briarius

Date: 2006-12-09 15:03 EST
Briarius focused more energy on keeping the being confined.

"I merely seek answers to why someone has come to hurt children here."

Shauri

Date: 2006-12-10 16:29 EST
She stepped back from the bowl, more for Tina's protection then her own. She was going to make a crack comment about Bri's cooking, but saw the concentrated effort within his visage. She'd say it later, maybe ... in a week or two when this was all over. For now, she said nothing and merely watched though she was ready to lend a hand should Bri need it.

Sidruis Pyrum

Date: 2006-12-13 01:33 EST
:: At the word of harmed children the image flashed out of the bowl facing the man as cold fire spread into the room::

They were not to be involved...I will handle the matter now begon from my sight

:: And before they had much of a chance he tore Briarius's grip of his bound form causing the bowl to crack::

Briarius

Date: 2006-12-13 07:32 EST
He calmly cast a force spell to hold the contents of the bowl while he grabbed a flask to pour it into. Long moments of silence from the Headmaster as he did this. He picked up his bowl and studied it and began to speak

"Well...it seems that someone was not acting under orders as I thought. Of course there is the fact that everyone could be lying to me and I acknowledge that, but other than use a child for bait..."

He looks at the crowd gathered.

"...which I am loathe to do, we have no choice but hope that this is resolved. Of course, a few more protective measures can be taken and I will offer the services of the Ravensheart School for this purpose."

He holds up the bowl and looks at Sha'uri through the crack.

"How is the supply of mithril? I will need this repaired...or replaced."

Shauri

Date: 2006-12-13 15:13 EST
Bait? Her eyes flashed wide as she took a step back, holding Tina closer to her. The idea of using anyone as bait didn't sit well with her. But...

"You're right, if they are lying just to get us to relax...."

She let it trail as she peered at Bri through the crack. She had to laugh just a little bit. Sometimes some of the more simple things were the easiest to forget about. She'd been guilty on a number of occassions herself.

"Mithril is in good supply. I can fix it or make another. But, do you have any objections to using a simple mend spell? It would fix it as good as new..."
