((Aw, don't worry about them. Rae doesn't like anyone. Roe still likes him though. And I know you weren't. I'm just guessing that sitting in a tree for several hours would make anyone grumpy. lol))

Rae decided she had said more then enough to Mikhail. Instead she turned to the naga who spoke to her. "This circus has been on their list for a long time. And they hunt anything that isn't human. Fools think that humans are the only things that can't be monsters."

Roe could see her sister was too upset. She smiled at the naga. "Thank you for the kindness. The phoenix got away from us and has not been hunted down since. That was why they were so upset. They wanted the feathers.

Ahanna nodded. She turned and ran back to the mess tent as fast as she could run. She flew into the tent and stopped infront of Zalia. "The twins have three hunters. They need you. Two of them have thrown down weapons and are talking of peace but I think they still have weapons." She turned and led the way.

CrimsonShadow 03-10-2011 06:44 AM

With a soft pop Azra's sword vanished for her hand. She decided she didn't need to be armed any longer, it seemed everything had calmed down enough. "Yes you're right humans do think they are not monsters. Ha imbeciles.." She turned to the other girl and bowed slightly with her head. "Thank you for wanting peace and not fighting. I am glad to hear that I really am. Wanting their feathers. And they say were the monsters.." Shaking herself she smiled. "What are your names?"

Spinning around Zalia listened closely to Ahanna. "Cire get Scarlett and go find the others, take them to the training tent. I want everyone together in case there are more hunters." Running forward she followed after Ahanna. "I take it the twins handled themselves?" She asked.

Dreizehn 03-10-2011 06:47 AM

((Oh good, we can still have Roe and Mikhail as pals. -Laughs- I just wanted to make sure you knew. I did get a really funny image in my head if the three of them stayed up in the tree together. Mikhail would probably poke and non stop harass/hit on the two of them. Probably would've gotten beaten by Rae. XD


It's all good Crimson, it happens. :) ))

Done with their argument, Mikhail listened as Azra had directed for Zalia to be fetched by the elf. Rae and Roe began conversing somewhat with the twins, though it seemed that one of them was preoccupied. Turning to look at Chenol, he watched as she swayed back and forth. A brow raised slightly as he felt she was studying him more closely now. He nodded his head once and a small smile had flickered onto his lips briefly. "Thank you for the compliment. I'm still not sure what to think about the rest of the hunters. I would like to know why they had used me for so long if they knew that I was-" His brows bunched together slightly as he thought for the right word but failed. "Since I'm like... You. Sort of. Sounds like a reason to have me offed. I never thought that I would've considered having Naga blood in me. I'm convinced that I'm pretty bloody ordinary."

He paused and looked at his katana, feeling it best to sheath the weapon since the arrival of the leader would be happening soon. Having no intention of drawing it again for the moment as he was mulling the news over yet. Looking back to Chenol he took a step forward, "How long have you been part of this circus? Just you and your sister here I take it. No other family."

Lilith W 03-10-2011 06:56 AM

((Yeah, that would have been a hoot. They would have been poor crazy birds up a tree. lol))

Roe gave a small bow too. "My name is Robin though I am called Roe." She waved at her sister. "This is Raven but she is called Rae. Monsters are the same in all forms."

"Yes, they handled the man pretty easily. He seems like he might still fight though." Within moments they had reached the gathering and Ahanna stepped to the side out of the way.

((and sorry guys but I really have to go to bed. Have fun. I'll catch up when I get back. Feel free to move my characters around if need be.))

CrimsonShadow 03-10-2011 07:08 AM

((I did it again lol...I'm tired of posting all those s's lol. So just pretend they are there! As it is they both are shifting back to their human form! Night Lilith, will slow down so you don't have two much to catch up on!!))

Noticing that she was swaying she stopped moving. She always did that when she was in her snake form. Sighing she shifted so she was now standing on two feet and could talk normally. "They probably kept you around so they could keep tabs on you. It's not that noticeable. Only one of us could probably spot it or if you did a blood test and compared it with naga blood." Chenol watched him put his sword away and smiled. She liked that he did that. When he spoke she lost her smile and looked over to her sister. "We've been here around 600 years I think. And yes it's just us. Our village was wiped out by the hunters. We were about the only survivors, except for about five others and they didn't stick around." She didn't know why she was talking so much, it was very unlike her but for some reason she just wanted to talk to him.

Azra was going to say something when she felt Zalia's presence coming over to them. Rolling her shoulders she shifted to her human form so like her sister she was standing on two feet also.

Nodding Zalia paused when the twins and the hunters came into view. Tightening her grip on her staff she walked forwards a few steps and looked around. "Hello I'm Zalia Keeper of the Circus and Ringleader." She said with a small smile. "I have been told that you gave up your weapons in peace to the twins," she said directing it to the girls then looked at the man. "And I see you have put your weapon away, thank you." Seeing that Chenol and the man were in deep conversation she directed her next words to the girls. "I am very curious as to why you have settled on peace?" Things were getting very interesting and an idea popped into her head. If they were serious about peace then she wanted them to stay and help guard the circus. She kept her idea to herself though, waiting for the right time.

Dreizehn 03-10-2011 07:23 AM

((Night Lil! I'll probably be heading off here soon as well. Getting sleepy and I have work early tomorrow morning. Ugh.))

Nodding once in agreement, he scratched his chin contemplatively. "Sounds like something that they would do. Especially since there was no way to notice or confirm it. I wonder if either of my parents knew..." The last sentence was spoken quieter and he drifted on the thought and distant memory of them. Not that he truly knew much about them as he had been pulled away from them for training from the start.

Mikhail glanced at Azra was returning back to her more human-esque form. Listening politely as Chenol began to share a small bit of their history he waited to comment. "You've been around for a little while." He winked at her before continuing more seriously. "I guess one of those other survivors is linked to me. Strange. I'm sorry- That you had to go through that." His sympathy was genuine though it felt strange to him. He had never guessed that he would be uttering those words to any that were kin to this band of circus creatures.

Giving a slight bow of his head to Zalia as she introduced herself he turned back to Chenol. Chenol just so happened to be much more interesting to him at this moment. Even more interesting was that he was at a sort of loss for words. "Just nerves and everything that has gone on tonight. Maybe if there weren't so many people." The idea comforted him as he attempted to not look as tired as he was beginning to feel. He had traveled quite a ways to get here in the first place with hardly any rest on the way.

((Annnnd I am officially brain dead. I'll most likely be on again tomorrow. Night Crimson! :3 We made some good progress tonight, yes.))

Lilith W 03-10-2011 03:42 PM

The sisters watched as the naga's shifted form. They heard someone coming and watched as Zalia introduced herself. They both nodded in her direction.

Roe smiled at the woman. For the leader of monsters she seemed nice. She held up her hand when Rae tried to talk. "I am sorry but my sister usually does the talking for us but I believe she needs to hold her tongue because of her temper. Why have we picked peace? I am here to follow my sister and she believes that we were sent here to die. We pick peace because we don't want to die." She looked at her sister then back at Zalia. "I choose peace because I am tired of this life. We have been doing this too long."

The fox gave Scarlett a well meant smile as a greeting back, waving with her hand slightly.
Cire nodded, letting out a sigh as both women left... Leaving her with the task of letting everyone know. ''Training tent...? How am I supposed to find anyone in this form before everything's over?'' She blew up her cheeks again, hoping everyone with the hunters would come to the training tent... And not make anyone wait there, having forgotten about them. Cire, even though immortal, was very impatient when it concerned safety. To be honest, the woman didn't want to wait anymore, nor meet anyone, nor stick any longer in this form.
She was impatient for the nightly running. But in a bright moment of her's, she decided to screw it. The twins were out so why not her? A smile played her lips as her mind allowed the desired thinking to take over, a little. The smile only went wider as her lower back let out five stumps, still growing, almost enjoying the sound of cracking bones jointing together for the desired tails to come out. Little collections of white hair appeared, and not just on her lower back where now 5 beautifull full and white tails are sated. At the back of her hand, the dip of her hips, her ankles, lower arms, neck, her spine and the ears on her head taking the shapes of a fox's, smooth white hair had appeared. The color of her eyes turned their normal strong blue again, and her human hair was no longer black, instead it was of a pure white with an icy blue shine to it.
''Now people... Why again was I unable to find and see you?''

Katie Scarlett Divine 03-10-2011 09:00 PM

Scarlett heard Zalia talk of getting the others and taking them to the training tent so she went to Lucifers tent, shaking him a little to wake him up. "Wake up, we have to get to the training tent." She said, taking the covers off of him to wake him. ((Sorry its short, trying to jump back in xD ))

diamondt 03-10-2011 09:27 PM

((We don't mind~))

Cire looked around, already noticing Scarlett's aura going to lucifer's... She probably overheard Zalia. A smile played her lips, showing the pointy pointy teeth they hid. Good, two persons less to ask. Now... Her head turned, to the aura of a certain succubus and a certain elf obviously going to spend the night together. Did she want to disturb them for a small casualty...? Hmm, they'd get their mood later on just as fine. It's not like they would die the next day... Well they could, but the fox wouldn't let that happen so the assumption would be they wouldn't die the next day. Cire walked towards Mellie's tent, brushing a hand through her hair as she smelled the air. Nope, didn't smell like sweaty bodies and all the other scents when they were doing that one little something Cire's mind wasn't keen on interrupting at. Still, she did keep her distance. Her silhouette entering a tent could be quite... Scary. ''To the people in there, I know you're there, we have a small event, which made Zalia request us all to go to the training tent. It's to get us up to date about what's, you don't have to go persay.'' She said, standing outside a bit waiting for sounds indicating they were planning on leaving, then decided it didn't matter that much, wondering what to do next. The woman decided to go to the training tent, even though she knew where and that there were things happening. Right now, she'd be useless though. Being overwhelmed by the senses, since when she's human she's so damn blind... Except that she isn't even though she is.

Lilith W 03-10-2011 10:04 PM

Rythen sighed. Looks like this talk no longer is going anywhere. He still wanted to hear how Mellie felt about what he said but something had happened. At least it had been Cire to come get them. She would know nothing else was going on. He stood up and reached down to Mellie. "Looks like something happened with the hunters. We should go."

Zetsumei Bara. 03-10-2011 10:35 PM

Mellie sighed and sat up. Grabbing her sword, she unsheathed it, revealing the green opaque metal, a special metal forged by her father. Standing up, she wobbled a little, and tripped, falling onto her hands and knees. Instead of crying, or complaining, or anything. She just got up, and walked out, ignoring her dizziness. Arriving at the tent, she set her sword down and sat on the floor, holding her head in her hands. She sat there, by herself, and yawned softly, hiccuping.

~

Lucifer opened his eyes and grinned at Scarlett, his face a soft pink from being drowsy. Slowly, he sat up and rubbed his eyes. As her words pushed their way into his head, he got up and pulled on his pants. Grabbing Scarlett's hand, he pulled her into his arms. Then, with ease, he carried her, bridal-style, to the practice tent. The lights burned his eyes, but he just walked to a bench and sat down, holding Scarlett close. "Why are we here?" he asked, looking at everyone there.

Katie Scarlett Divine 03-10-2011 10:43 PM

"I'm pretty sure there's hunters on the grounds that the twins just fought with.. Zalia said for everyone to come here." She said, laying her head on his shoulder. "Sleep well? I mean.. for a little bit?" She grinned, running her hand through his hair and looking around the training area. There were only a few people there. She ran her hand over the rose necklace gently. She felt like swimming.

Zetsumei Bara. 03-10-2011 10:53 PM

[[ Katie ... Cire and Mellie are there. o.e ]]

Katie Scarlett Divine 03-10-2011 10:55 PM

((There xD ))

PapillonCameo 03-10-2011 11:33 PM

Casimir watched silently from the nearest building trough his binoculars as all his targets moved to a tent. Damn,I'll never be able to take them all on.How am I supposed to beat Sis's record like this!The Fremont's where one of the more prestigious Hunter families,brought in when no one else could do the job.Internally they where very tightly knit,and very competitive. Siblings pitted themselves against each other constantly ,comparing their kills to see who was the best.This was Casimir's big chance,he was even supposed to eliminate the rebel hunters.The highest authority had given him this mission,and he intended to bring it to completion.Members of the Fremont family ,unlike the other families ,went in alone to take out large groups and this was Caz's most important mission yet.

Melony Clement pretended to leave with the crowd,but instead she veered off to make her way into the cluster of tents where the circus people lived.She went from darkness to darkness as she had been so briefly taught to do.Six months wasn't a lot of time to learn how to kill supernatural beings,but she'd been desperate to get moving.It was all to protect people,from dangerous killers of a different kind.

Ever since that incident with her friend...Things had changed completely.She'd vowed to stop that from happening to others,so she'd gone to find a Hunter.He had been retired for his softening views,and wasn't affiliated with the council anymore.So Melony went where she wanted,trying to find dangerous supernaturals,because she knew not all of them where.


(I hope this is alright with you guys!)

Lilith W 03-10-2011 11:33 PM

Rythen sighed once again. He was suprised when she pulled out a sword. He stayed where he was for a moment then leaned down for his sword. He started to walk to the practice tent but then decided to make a stop. He went to the animal tent and got out the pegasus and unicorn. Most of the people considered them to be simply animals but they weren't. He brought them to the tent and postioned them next to the opening. He sat infront of them placing his sword on his legs. He pulled out a few juggling balls and two carrots. He gave the carrots to the horse like animals behind him then started juggling.

He wanted to go to Mellie but he thought they both needed some time apart and this simply was not the time or place to talk. After a moment he realized that Ahanna was not in the tent. "Where is Ahanna?"

PapillonCameo 03-10-2011 11:47 PM

A startled gasp escaped Melony's lips when she saw a man bring a unicorn and pegasus in front of one of the tents.She stood frozen with wonder in her eyes.She watched as he juggled,but her eyes kept returning to the mythical beasts that she'd never thought to see.How could anyone protected by these beings,the epitome of purity,be dangerous,or have murderous intent?Melony brushed away a strand of her honey blond hair,as she tried to resist the urge to go and see these beings.She'd thought unicorns and pegasi where extinct,that was what her mentor had led her to believe at least.

Sighing Casimir put his binoculars away and grabbed his bow and quiver.He was going for the elf.Outside,in the trees he could do anything.He ran until he found the kind of place he liked to shoot from.Quite far from his target,far enough that even the fastest of them would take a little while to reach him.Quickly he readied himself to shoot,wanting to make sure that his target would remain alone with the two beasts.

Lilith W 03-10-2011 11:52 PM

Rythen got up and walked into the tent. Maybe Ahanna is in there and I can't see her. The mounts followed behind him without any signal. When he got inside he still didn't see her. He knew she had been with Cire earlier so he walked over to her. The mounts went and stood near the opening of the tent inside so as not to get in the way. "Cire where is Ahanna?"

Zetsumei Bara. 03-10-2011 11:56 PM

Mellie sensed Rythen and stood up. She grabbed her sword and faced him, she didn't want to interrupt, so she stood there, in her nightgown. She kept quiet, but felt slightly bad, so she waited a few minutes. Sighing, she raised her sword and ran her fingers over it. "Owch!" she yelled, dropping her sword. Blood ran down her fingers, and dripped to the floor. "Shit ..." she muttered, and looked up at Rythen, then ran out, slightly embarrassed. 'So stupid!'

CrimsonShadow 03-11-2011 12:05 AM

Smiling once more Zalia nodded. "That is a very good incentive to want peace. That's why we are here in this circus, why it was made. We all just want peace." She paused and studied each girl carefully. "You can stay if you wish. We always want more family here at the circus." She stopped there and waited to see what they would say. Zalia hoped they said yes.

Stretching up on her toes first to loosen up her legs Chenol walked closer to Mikhail so they could talk easier. "They most likely had no idea, the naga blood has been diluted for centuries probably." Smiling she looked down to the ground before speaking again. "Yeah and longer than that. My sister and I are very old. That could be possible or a naga from a different village." She glanced over to her sister who was watching the two of them intently. Chenol knew she was listening to their every word. Looking back at Mikhail she noticed that he seemed very tired. "Would you like to go sit down? I know Zalia is going to want everyone to meet in the training tent. We could go ahead and you could sit and rest?"

PapillonCameo 03-11-2011 12:06 AM

Casimir was ready to shoot,but then his targets disappeared into the tent like the others.He nearly broke his bow with frustration until he saw a young woman run out.She was one of them he was sure,even if she wasn't she must have been one of their friends. Decision made,Casimir aimed and fired his gryphon fletched arrow.He saw it fly and hit his target.

Melony stood still debating until she saw a young woman clad only in a nightgown run out.She nearly screamed when an arrow came out of no where to hurt her.Without thinking Melony ran out of her hiding spot to help her."Don't panic,I know first aid."It was more to reassure herself then her sudden patient as she took bandages and salves out of her backpack to take care of the wound.Luckily her teacher had insisted on her learning first aid.

Lilith W 03-11-2011 12:24 AM

Roe looked at her sister to answer the question. She wanted to stay but it was up to her.

Rae looked at the woman carefully. "It has been a while since we've had a family. We would like to take you up on the offer but I would like to know why first. You must want something from us."

CrimsonShadow 03-11-2011 12:51 AM

Considering her words Zalia tapped her chin. "There are quite a few reasons. The first would be we are always looking for more people to join us. I like having a big family and the more the merrier. I also offer because you two have no one and I would hate for you to go back to the council of hunters knowing that they wish you dead. But also I offer for a selfish reason. You know all about the hunters and how they work, we could use your information to keep us safe. Also we need more people to protect us and you can help with that." Sighing she set her staff on the ground and leaned on it. She had decided to state the whole truth she didn't want to lie.

Lilith W 03-11-2011 01:03 AM

The sisters thought about what Zalia said. Roe nodded.

"That is good enough for me and it looks like for my sister. I would like to say me and my sister don't know us much as most hunters, like that man. Most of them are Hunters because it is their family. We have only been in it for awhile. But we will do all we can." Rae bowed to her before going and picking up her guns.

Rythen knew Mellie had come over to talk to him but had ran outside a few minutes into waiting. He decided to go after her when he heard from Cire. But then he heard a thud outside and a voice. He ran outside to find Mellie shot with an arrow and a human leaning over her. Before he attacked her he noticed she was trying to help. Looking at the arrow he could tell the direction it came from. "Get her inside now!" he screamed at the girl. He started running forward as he yelled out again. "Dusk come!" The pegasus came running out of the tent and Rythen swung himself up while running. They took to the air and quickly made for the area the arrow came from. "There has been an attack! Get to safety." He screamed for everyone to hear. He brought out two of the throwing daggers. He reached the edge of the woods and thought he saw movement. He flung both of the blades before quickly dropping another two into his hands and throwing them.
