Bayne .: ~Looks up at the stone monument before them. " How long has this thing been here do you think Maliara?" He turns to look at his Drowish companion with a broad smile.~



Maliara: *She reaches out pulling some of the vines and moss away from an ancient looking symbol carved into the stone. "I'm not sure. But I can sense something...some sort of power. It's like the very air is vibrating with it."*


Bayne .: ~Looking at the symbol carefully He steps back with an odd look on his face.? Is that.. Elven? Wood elven?! I didn't think they would build in stone.." He looks around the rest of the entrance way to the structure, uncovering other symbols.~





Maliara: *Her eyebrows furrowed. "Can you make out what it says?" She went in the opposite direction uncovering the various symbols. Finally frustrated she wet back to his side an scowl on her face. This didn't set well with her at all.*



Bayne .: ~Looking at the ancient stones he lightly moved his fingers over the symbols. " It's old.. and it has been over 300 years since I've seen anything Would Elf in nature.. " Presses an odd carving and it comes out in his hand. "Hey, look at this.." ~


Maliara: *Leaning over his shoulder she examines the piece of stone. Reaching down she took in from his hand without even really thinking what she was doing. Rolling it gingerly around in her hands she stared at it. "I know. I hear it too." Speaking to Moloch. "She looked back up at Bayne. "It speaks."*



Bayne .: ~Looks at her curiously then looks at the stone. "It speaks? Can you make out what it says? Can Moloch hear it too?"~



Maliara: *She nodded mutely to Bayne as she concentrated on what Moloch was saying. But though she listened she didn't hear him. The stone seemed to whisper to her drowning out all other sounds. She stood as motionless as the stone itself. Silently staring at the piece of artifact. Her eyes slowly began to shift to a bright yellow*



Bayne .: ~Scents the change and looks at her warily. "Maliara? Are you ok? Why are you going Lycan? Maliara? Can you hear me?" He moves towards her, intending to take the stone from her.~



Maliara: *She turned towards him suddenly as her body began to vibrate with the change. She crouched suddenly and sprung off of the ground sending herself flying several yards back. When she landed her body was almost all the way shifted. Standing with the stone clutched in her hand she let out a low threatening growl*



Bayne .: ~Swearing under his breath he started to shift as well. "What ever that stone is, I have to take it from you Maliara, I don't want to have to hurt you." His voice ended in a growl as his muzzle fully formed.~


Maliara: *She made no reply. The pupils of her irises widened as she zeroed in on his form. She let out a screech that ended in a howl as her body finished it's transformation. Then taking several steps back it seemed as if she winked at him before she tore off into the forest.*



Bayne .: ~Not even giving it a second thought he shot after her. Whatever that stone was it had over-ridden Moloch and Maliara, and that was unheard of. He followed her scent and muttered about how she just ran I a straight line, not even trying to disperse her scent by weaving between trees.~

Maliara: *She ran it seemed for several miles before she stopped and turned suddenly to face him. Her ears were laid back and her teeth bared. She emitted a low snarl and a guttural growl as she slowly crouched. She turned on him as if to attach but stood her ground examine what he would do. To look into her eyes was to see no hint of Maliara's mind there. She was completely taken over.*



Bayne .: ~He paused at this sight. He had never expected to fight Maliara or any of the coven. Watching her carefully he recognized the stance, a watchers stance. She was waiting for him to make the first move. He sneered in a wolfish manner and started to circle around her slowly.~



Maliara: *Her eyes never left him as she took in every movement. Her body turned with him not allowing him to go behind her. Every hair on her body seemed to stand on end with tension for the coming battle. "Ανήκει σε μένα τώρα!" She growled at him in the fluid tongue of the wood elf, a language she had never bothered to learn*


Bayne .: ~Hearing the language of his lost tribe, he nearly froze. His eyes narrowed as he tried to recall his lessons, still circling this thing inside Maliara. "Τι είσαι;?"~



Maliara: *"Είμαι αυτό που δεν έχει πλέον ένα όνομα. Και τώρα που έχω ένα όργανο και πάλι μπορώ να κυκλοφορ&# 959;ύν ελεύθερα και αν αυτό τον κόσμο προκαλού&# 957; χάος και την τρομοκρα&# 964;ία. Και για όσο χρόνο θα ήθελα για είμαι αθάνατος! " She bagan to slowly back away again edging towards the trees.*



Bayne .: ~"Δεν θα σας αφήσει να την πάρει! Αν έχω να σας νικήσει εκτός της .. Θα!" He lunges at her out of nowhere, trusting to his speed being more than hers as he tries to tackle Maliara to the ground~



Maliara: *The being inside her could only operate off Maliara's own physical abilities. Bayne was a lot faster then she. As he sailed through the air she twisted her body to run but only managed a few paces before his weight hit her from behind pinning her to the ground.*

Bayne .: ~Holding her down spread-eagle he tried to force the stone out of her grip. "C?mon let go!" He snarled, leaning close to her muzzle while focusing on getting her grip to slacken.~



Maliara: *"Αν θέλετε να λάβει στη συνέχεια. Εν προκειμέ&# 957;ω, μικρή χρήση τώρα." The stone rolled from her grasp a now empty talisman. The being having possessed her fully now. She twisted her head to snap at his muzzle*



Bayne .: ~Jumping back, he looked on I shock as he realized It was right, it had taken her over completely now. Snarling in Lycan rage, more bare sounds than a language, he faces the thing now on an even footing. He had no choice but to beat it out of her.~

Maliara: *Taking the opportunity to attack as he leapt back in defense she bolted off the ground and lunged at him sending all her weight at his chest. Her jaws opened wide with a hideous snarl as she aimed her sharp teeth at his throat,*



Bayne .: ~Predicting an attack even while in retreat had been beaten into him at a young age, so he knew how to counter her lunge. Even though Lycan forms weren't al that flexible he could still twist out of the way of her jaws at least, and they were the biggest threat in this fight. his claws raked up her back as her head sailed past his contorted torso, missing his throat by inches~



Maliara: *She yowled loudly as his claws ripped her flesh. It was painful though the wound started healing before she even hit the ground. But his ability to doge her sudden attack to other by surprise. she hit the ground on all fours and rolled on her side springing back up on her feet as fast as she could manage.*

Bayne .: ~Despite himself, he was impressed with her. If she was paying attention inside her own head he hoped she remembered how this fight went, it could save her later in life. Stepping back and to the side he started circling her again, before bounding at her in a mock charge, then darting to one side, launching at a tree and pushing off like a springboard, flying at her from some random angle.~



Maliara: *She tried to keep up with his movements and though her eyes could follow him quickly they weren't quick enough. She turned just in time to have him slam into her body driving her several feet back and then ramming her into a tree. Though she was flying through the air she too the opportunity to bite at his neck and vicariously claw at the flesh on his chest.*

Bayne .: ~He yelped at the claws and fangs on his flesh, but he didn't have time to worry about such things. He watched where she landed and charged again, this time just driving right at her. "Θα σας κοπεί από το δικό της με νύχια μου!" He roared, surprised he could still speak elven as a Lycan but only for a second.~



Maliara: *Being momentarily stunned by the blow to the tree she only had time to yelp loudly as he flew into her. A momentarily flash of herself went though her eyes. It was almost a pleading look as she stared back into his. But it was only a flash. Then they were back to the two unknown orbs that harbored nothing buy hate toward the creature stopping it from it's goal.*

Bayne .: ~He leaped up at her, planning to slam her against the tree once more, figuring on her turning back once knocked out. His bulk was just about on top of her when he saw the brief flash in her eyes and for a split second almost stumbled in his attack~



Maliara: *Her body twisted suddenly. Her claws cleaved into the flesh of his shoulders as she twisted her and him to land on there sides in the dense forest foliage. As they hit the ground she pulled herself using her claws that were hooked into him to try and pin him down.*



Bayne .: ~He was down.. It wasn't new but it wasn't good. With her claws buried into the flesh of her shoulders she was using leverage to keep him from getting up. Thinking quickly he hunched his shoulders, bunched the muscles in his hindquarters and pushed forward, figuring to take her for a ride if she insisted on holding him down like this~


Maliara: *as they sailed through the air she tired to wretch her claws from his muscles. But they were dug too far in to release her hold. As they plummeted towards the ground she opened her jaws biting down on the tendon that held the neck to the shoulder to grip it jerking her head back to tear the flesh if she could catch hold of it.*
