Raven looks over at her and grins. Pulling her close and beding her backwards. "Pretty flexible there sweetcheeks." He looks over to the 'Zombie'. "You know... I don't think she will have enough energy left to help you after I get through with her. We elementals draw our energies stright from the earth." He winks at him without ever looking to Mai.

Mirabella smiled happily as she hugged Belden then kissed him on his cheek. “I am glad, I’d hate to make you feel uncomfortable in anyway.” she said looking up at him. Mirabella was happy to be with Belden but that voice that was in her head before was still running through her mind. She couldn’t understand why the voice told her to not go see what was wrong with Tali, if was as if the voice wanted her to stay with Belden. “Be-Belden, is it normal t-to here a voice tell you what to do?” she whispered in his ear then looked at him with a worried look, hoping that he could have the answer.

Harold looked at Raven then slightly tilted his head. He was confused about this situation, in the back of his dead mind Harold couldn’t help but wonder if Raven was flirting with him. His suspitions started to grow when he heard Raven call him cute and winked at him when he grabbed Mai up. “I see that.” Harold managed to say as he managed to translate what Raven said to him. Harold sat back and continued looking at Raven as he tried to understand this awkward situation.

Jason and Talos turned the corner and seen Jar’Kai with Tali, who appeared to be asleep. “Is she alright?” he asked jumping off Talos’s back then ran to Tali’s side. Examining her body quickly, Jason saw a wounds that looked odd, “It looks like she fell down that steps. Talos, come try and heal her.” he asked signalling him to come closer.

Talos walked over to Tail and swirled his tail over Tali’s main injury. Darkness flowed from the tip of his tail and started to surround Tali’s ankle. Hearing soft clicks in her ankle told Talos that he was almost done in healing her injuries, after a few minutes Talos moved his tail and snorted “That should help. Hopefully now get on my back and I’ll carry us back to the others.” he said listening for any other problems that were coming their way.

Illumina waited patiently for Talos, Jason, Jar’Kai and Onyx to come back. But she was starting to worry about Onyx, she knew that her main objective was to protect Mirabella but she was worried for Onyx more. “Please return safely Onyx, I would be upset if anything haappened to you.” she whispered to herself as she looked in the direction that they had ran in.


((ive noticed Tali's new title Angel, its just everytime i tried 2 say something, i always 4get too srry :cry: ))

Raven looks back to Harold. "So you are dead? Either way. Still cute." He winks agina and leaves Mai there to go sit by Harold and smiles at him.

Mai gave a girlish goggle at being bent backwards and flirted with, it had been quite a long time since a man took the inisheative(msp) with her. Though it didnt seem to last long as Raven left her for the half dead man. Realizing she couldnt hold the bent backwards pose she was in the nymph fell over landing flat on her back. Now she was rather full of emotion. Anger, frustration,discouragement, sadness, then anger again. Jummping to her feet Mai Stompped over to herold and "worked her charm".
"My my my what strong arms you have Captin!" She stated with a small giggle as she wrapped her arms aroun Herolds arm and stroked it. "And such a manly chest too!" She added and trailed her hand up and down his chest.

Zack had hardly made it in the direction all of the men had been going when Jai'kar returned withtali on his back. Heaving a small sigh of realef, Zack went to Emily, Malone, and Tali. Thank goodness some one healed her. Zack thought with a small smile as he picked the poor child up and cratled her in his arms. "Its ok Emily Shes still alive and with a little rest shell be in tip top shape." he said with a smile. though it faded when he caught sight of the expresstion on her face.

Emily looked up at jai'kar as he sat tali down beside her and Malone. The girl hadent even noticed her brother come up or even speek to her. She could feel the anger boiling up inside her and it caused her cheeks to grow a shade of red and her ears to burn as well. Pushing herself away from Malone, Emily, stalked over to the man and grabbed his armored shoulder.
"Your a horrible Guardian!" She said tthrough clenched teeth. Her hands trembled a little with anger as she attempted to restrain herself.

Sam was very happy playing with Irian but of course something happened, emily was angry. The fox pulled Irian to a virtical position and looked around rather fratically for the girl he was incharge of. He could feel the emotions building up in her and knew that if she became overly emotional she would subconciouslly unleash her powers and then have deep regrets afterwards. "Eh, Emily!?" He breathed still trying to find the girl before something bad happpened.

Raven's eyes flick to Mai. "Ah ah ah Mai. Im workin my magic on this one." He flicked his eyes to Mai's feet and the ground between Mai and Harold lights afire and shoots straight up between them. "Now run along to your master." He leans against Harold and gives him a coy smile, then looks at Mai again. "This one is the one I am going to work on." Looking back to Harold Raven speaks to him. "So how did you die in the first place? And do you need healing?"

"Hmm?" Jai'kar said as he turned to face Emily. "Pardon me? I'm trying to figure out who exactly is trying to kill Princess Tali right now. I'm sorry that I can't be with her at this moment, but I need to ensure her safety." With that, he turned and finished walking over to Raeyk, who had raised up an eyebrow in surprise.

"So, did you find a mana signature?" Jai'kar asked, trying to ignore Raeyk's amusement.

"No. It has faded by now," the wraith responded, shaking his head.

"Well, we'll need to keep a closer eye on our surroundings then. Do you still know how to put up wards?"

"Of course. I'll do so tonight."

"Good. I would go over there, but Emily would probably rip my head off."

"Probably."

"Women," Jai'kar said in disgust, sitting down against the wall.

Harold watched as Mai started to admire his half decaying semi-bulky arm and rubbed his maggot filled chest. He glared at the nymoh and tried to pry her off of him. "Woman, leave me alone, all I want is to get out of here so everyone can we please leave?" he asked then suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder. Turning his head, Harold saw Raven leaning on him pulling Mai away from him. Raven started to talk about how he was going to work his magic on him, which caused Harold to get more confused. "Uhh thanks...I think. But I was killed by my village because I....um...I kind of, um, molested a few women of my time. Aslo, you really can't heal me, I've be years for a very long time." Harold managed to say just before he looked at Mai then back at Raven.

Jason and Talos walked to Jar'kai and his guardian and heard the comment that Jar'kai said. "Pardon, but if you don't know what has Emily and Tali mad at you, I believe it's what you did earlier when the spirit attacked us." he said looking at the boy then turned to see Emily and Tali then back at Jar'kai. "Plus, I do not think saying that out loud isn't a good idea." Jason warned then looked at Talos, "Yup, take it from the man who say it and regreted it." Talos said laughing.

Raven looked back a Harold. "I believe you muct be sorely illinformed then. You see, Elementals can heal long dead beings. I myself healed a forest that had been dead for a almost 1000 years. It may have nearly killed me but that was many many years ago and my healing abilities have grown emensly. These scars-" He points to each scar on his exposed chest and back. " I got all of them while being trapped in this cave. But because I have my healing abilities I can heal them all. I have been trapped down here for quite some time." He picks a few maggots out of the mans chest. "Hmm This could be interesting."He places a hand over the top of Harold's head and one on his lower abdomen. "Just hold still and I should be done in one a fouple hours. You are right. You decayed quite alot, but if I can break down the maggots to a molecular level I should be able to reform them into organs."

He said and then closed his eyes. A few seconds later Raven's eyes open and they are glowing a brilliant orange red. His head tilts back and he opens his mouth air obviously being pulled into his mouth and going seemingly nowhere. His hands begin to glow with a warm red glow. The maggots begin to deterioate as the holes in his body begin to disappear. Organs begin to form and Harold hears a voice in his head. 'When I reform your heart it may heart a bit but that is only because I need to take electricity from the earth and flow it through the new heart. Just bear with it please' With that, electricity flows from the earth into Raven's feet, trhough his body and out of his hands into the body and the eart is statrted once again.

Emily glaired at Jai'kar as he stormed away. She didnt like his answer, or the wany he walked away giving no thought to at least go and check on Tali. Heaving a sigh the girl stomped off back to her brother, Malone, and Tali. she was beyond words at this point and decited to just sit down and cool off.

"Emily!" Sam slightlyu whined as he fallowed Emily as she went to sit down. "You cant blame him for wanting to protect her....can you?" Sam asked as he seated himself next to emily. The girl didnt say a word she only pulled her knees up and burried her head in her arms. Sighing sam leaned his head on the girls shoulder and closed his eyes. She was upset now, she was regretting what she said to Jai'Kar but she also couldnt stand him not conforting the little girl her brother held. "Emily, youve every right to be angry but Jai'Kar also has the right to do what he thinks will feels is best for Tali!" he said with a small sigh. "I would deffinatly be doing what he is doing if you wer as hurt as Taki was!" Sam added as he patted Emilys arm.

Zack proped the sleeping child up agenst his shoulder so that he could at least have one free hand. With his now free hand he rubbed Talis back and head from time to time. Zack also found himself swaying from side to side a little as he held onto Tali. He watched his sister seat herself and begin to sulk but Sam was their to make her feel better. With steady steps Zack went to Malones side and nudged him. "Lets go see what herold keeps yelling about!" he said nodding his head in the direction of Mai, Herold, and Raven.

Mai gave an irritated snort at Ravens actions, she espeacally didnt like that the elimental was planning and carrying out the "re-birthrthing" so to speak, of the dead captan. It was as bad as blackmaile. "My dear captan, you do know this man is in love WITH men!?" She mire stated than asked the less decayed captan. "And aside from that you were better off with meee!" She sang a little as she waited for this bit of information to sink in and leave the former rapest with the do'ly needed fear.

Beldon looked at mirabella slightly confused. "Voices?" He asked and tilted his head to the side still a little confused. "I know its not normal for me, but what is the voice telling you to do?" He asked as he reached up and pushed a braded pice of hair out of the girls face. Doing this caused the boy to blush slightly as he realized what he did and his hand quickly dropped.

((I think Papill is going to be popping in and out as she pleases so we should probably just take the characters she gave us and work with it))

As soon as Mai's words leave her mouth a booming voice echos through the cavern "Do not make him move woman! It could kill him permanantly!" As the voice ebbs away so does the light from Ravens healing. Raven steps back and looks at the newly living man. "All better" He said with a smile. "Just don't try to over exert yourself for a good half an hour. Walking is ok but no running or heavy lifting. You're new muscles need a bit of time to get used to being there again." He walks back over to Mai. "Do not assume than just because I heal someone that I require something back from them. Unlike you. I do not do as I please to the extent that you do." With that he walked to the opening and looks outside. "It have been many years since I saw the outside world. Feels so nice to get fresh oxygen to fuel my fires!"

"Death would be a better punishment than hate from Princess Tali, I think," Jai'kar said to Jason and Talos, smiling slightly. "Has Princess Mirabella ever been mad at you like this because you were protecting her?" he asked suddenly, still sitting against the wall as Emily and Zack catered to Tali's unconscious body.

Suddenly, Tali's eyes sprung open, a scream dying on her lips before fully emerging. For some strange reason, she was being rocked back and forth like a child while someone rubbed her back. It was all very soothing. Absently, Tali noticed that her ankle was better and that they were in the foyer. They must have brought me back here, she thought with wonder at their kindness. Opening her hand, she saw that her locket was still there, the imprint of the beautiful object glaring at her from her hand. She had never let it go, even after being unconscious.

A bit more awake now, Tali noticed that Zack was the one rubbing her back and rocking her. Emily was a little bit off, obviously angry at something, as Sam was trying vainly to calm her down. Anxiously, she looked for Malone; surely he would want to see her find. "Malone?" she called out, shocked to hear how hoarse her voice was.

Malone had no idea what had happened, for some reason it had seemed like ... A strange feeling had been ebbing in and out of his consciousness making him queasy and unable to do anything after his confession. The young man had remained seated during the whole ordeal of Tali being missing until she called for him. Somehow he managed to get to his feet, and Onyx supported him, as he made his way to the young girl's side. "What is it Tali? And I'm sorry for not helping to find you but this strange wave of something ... It was so bad I couldn't really move. It's only fading away now." He looked up at Zack, and turned to Emily with an apologetic smile.

Irian watched as Sam went away, knowing that he needed to take care of his charge. Quietly she went over to this other person with the wraith companion, and nodded silently to Talos and Jason. She bent down and sat in front of him. She had heard the last sentence and had something to say about it. "Perhaps it isn't necessarily anger. She's a young woman after all, and she might have certain feelings of embarrassment over this whole ordeal. "

(Hana, I have a whole bunch of other RPs going on too, so it might just take me a little longer to answer then usual. )

Mai was uneffected by the booming voice that seemed to warn her about whatever. She only looked in the direction she thought it was comming and glaired hard.She then turned back to Raven and Herold to see that the once disfiguared and rotting man was now back to his former self. It surprised the women to see this and she was beginning to have a good mood, until raven smashed it to bits. His comment made her boil, as if she would heal some one and demand something in return. She always figuared she would do what she must and if they wanted to give her something she wouldnt say no.
"Listen here fire boy, I could easly put you out if I wanted to!" the nymph stated with a grawl in her throught as she fallowed the elimental outside. "I am not so heartless to do what you just suggested!" She grawled still extreamly angry.


Zack heaved a sigh as he watched Mai fallow Raven outside, it seemed she was angry about something but he just couldnt put his finger on it. It didnt quite matter anyways because Tali was awake now. She had caled for Malone who came without a second call. Zack continued to hold the child and pat her back, something he knew would calm her down and keep her confertable.

Emily couldnt help but look up when she heard Tali call for Malone. it put a small smile on the girls face to know that Tali wanted Malone to confort her rather than her suposed gurdian.
"We should get going from her!" She said wipeing her face from the frustrated tears she ha shedSam gave a smile as emily finally spoke to him."Yes we should be going, I dont think theirs anything more for us here other than trouble!" Sam stated with a small smile. Emily nodded her head in agreement. Their was nothing for any of them other than more trouble. Both stood and dusted their pants off. "I'll get them and you round the others up!" Sam said and pointed in the direction of Irian, Jason, Talose, Jai'Kar, and Raeyk. Emily nodded in again and went to her brother and his company.

Raven snorted. "Ha! I am an elemental my dear girl! Here is the "pecking order" First there's the dirt. Then the worms in the dirt, then there is the nymphs then there is dung. Then me. You could not "take me down" if you tried. As long as the earth lives so do I. That it how we elementals survive." He laughed as he spat fire into the sky only to explode into fireworks. "The only reason I was weakend in this godforsaken cave is because of the lack of freash clean oxygen. Another century or two and I might have lost my memory."

Malone carefully took the delicate little locket and examined it closely. Looking at it then at Tali, he could indeed see a resemblance between her and the child. It explained her presence in the caves, if not why she remembered nothing of her younger life. The nausea he'd been feeling dissipated only to be replaced by a sense of something wrong that should not have been happening.

The biting cold suddenly present in the cavern made Malone shiver. Living on a warm volcanic island all his life hadn't prepared the young man for such temperature changes. Lifting his eyes he saw how upset Tali had become. Quickly he stood and went to put a hand on her shoulder. "Tali! Calm down, you have no right to act this way no matter what your station in life! Just listen to yourself! This isn't you, not the inquisitive charming girl from before!" The words tumbled from his mouth. For some reason they just seemed to fit in with the situation.

The sudden warmth of Malone's hand on her shoulder caused Tali to blink in surprise as she noticed what was happening. "Did I do this?" she asked innocently, her anger replaced by confusion. "I don't remember anything after I handed you the locket, Malone. Did I black out?" The snow genuinely confused the poor little girl. Never in her life had she seen such a thing. In awe, she bent down and slid her hand through it, amazed by the fluffy coldness of the crystalized water vapor. The cold in the chamber was lifting, replaced by the castle's natural heat as Tali ceased to control it. "What is this stuff?" she asked, pure, child-like wonder showing in her eyes as she scooped some up to taste it. Moaning slightly at the soothing sensation, Tali swallowed the water, finally noticing how thirsty she had been.

Jai'kar looked at Irian quizzically before replying. "Embarrassed?" he questioned, simply confused. "What in the world would she be embarrassed about?"

He shivered suddenly, feeling the immense cold that Tali brought on. He had been about to talk to her, but Malone reached her first. His touch seemed to instantly calm her down, and Jai'kar felt a stab of jealously. Honestly, he wished he had that kind of relationship with his charge, but first he would need to swallow his pride and apologize. Hearing Sam and Emily's conversation, he figured it would be better to spend his energy on something productive.

"Attention! Everyone needs to get themselves ready if they plan on leaving with us to the Spirit Temple in the Kingdom of the Glaciex, or Ice as you would know it," he called out loudly. "Sir Harold, if you would please get your ship ready? That would be wonderful, thank you."

Zack allowed tali to come loose from his arms and runnoff, it seemed as though the girl was back to being her normal self. Or thats what it looked like anyway he wasnt paying attenchion to the child as she went and yelled at Raven and defended Mai. The only thing he noticed was Emily approching him and then the sudden cold. He shivered violently and attempted to warm himself. "Man and i thought i was done with being cold!" he said as Emily stopped next to him and malone ran off.
"Whats going, on why is it so cold!?" Emily asked as she huddled close to Zack for warmpth. The man wrapped his arms around his sister and attempted to warm both himself and her. Thiough he hadent noticed malone leve Emily did, she watched as he went to Tali and touched the girls shoulder, then everything was warming up.
"How strange!" emily muttered to herself before breaking from Zacks hug.
"Ah, Emily where you going!?" Zack asked with a whine to his voice.
"To see if Tali is ok!" Emily stated a smile playing on her face. Zack only pouted, though this didnt last long as his attenchion was directed at Jai'Kar who was suggesting they get ready to leave.

Sam shivered as he finally reached Irian and her company, he didnt know what they were talking aboutand he didnt really care. All he wanted was to be warm again, so he jummped Irian and pushed himself agenst her trying to use her body heat to keep himself warm. "Nahhhh Iriaaannnn Im COLD!" Sam Whined as he positioned himself so that he was standing infront of the woman and making himself the center of her attenchion. "Warm me up!!" he demanded and burried his face in the womens brests. wether or not the out come of his actions were good or not didnt matter to sam, he was content right here right now.

Mai fumed with anger, so much so that a vean began to throb on her forhead. She growled as well and clenched her fists so tightly that her nailes pearced her skin and drew blood. "You low life bastard," she grawled. "I will Kill you!" She snarled and was about to lung herself on the fire elimental when a small voice stopped her.
"I will not let an elemental, and a fire one at that, belittle and degrade another race," the little girl her master had been carrying around was standing up to this other fire being. How intersting, mai thought as she stepped back and watched as the atmosphear began to grow cold and the childs anger reflected this. Though Malone ruined everything with his presence, he caused the girl to go back to being as innocent and as cute as ever.
"Humph i guess your off the hook for now Mr.Raven!" mai Stated as she went to answers the childs adoribly cute questions.
"Thats called snow honey, it happens when the air is very cold." Mai said with a kinde smile. "Its kile ice but not as hard or solid." She added and watched as tali ate some of the snow she had picked up. "Oh you look thirsty!" Mai said and easly formed a wabbly ball of water. "here you are, just drink!" Mai informed holding it out for the girl to drink from. "I remember doing that!" emily said ass he reached the three of her friends. "Your lucky tali Mai makes the most wonderfull drinking water!" she said as she stood next to malone and grasped his hand.

Raven looked down amusedly at the child. When the air grew cold he laughed. "So you think you are a higher being than me? Not at all. Infact I might say we are equal. You being a pheonix are as eternal as this earth. Just as I am. I am more of a master of fire than you simply because I have been using it for centuries longer than you have even been alive young miss. You may have your ice as well. But you could not kill me with it. You seem to forget that I am an fire elemental." He shouted the last two words and the walls of the cavern started to blaze brightly and soon the entire area was all too hot, but not for Raven of course."I lived IN a volcano for over a hundred years mastering my powers. The only thing I need to make fire is air. Just like you. And to make your ice you need water. Weather it be water vapor or a body of water of some sort. You think you can control my fire when in reality you cannot. Just as I cannot control yours. So be a good girl and run along, I have some planning to do." Looking back to Mai. "I am off the hook? No no no, more like you are. Only because I would not waste my powers on a simpleton like yourself." Walking over to Zack. "How exactly do you deal with her anyways? I feel bad for you..."

While trying to figure out what was going on, Irian was shocked to have Sam come over and seek warmth in that particular spot. Quickly she stepped away. The woman couldn't really be angry with him, so she gave the fox a stern look before going to envelop him in a hug. "Next time ask for a hug or I'll set Leif on you!" The rebuke was said with a smile, tough the sentence was punctuated by a growl from the wolf.

Malone grasped Emily's hand with a smiled and walked a little towards Harold, not wanting to simply drag her along. He was glad Tali had calmed down, but the new man's outburst didn't help anything at all.

(Angeal! Please you can't just do that! I've been meaning to send you a pm about figuring out limitations for Raven's powers, and have already talked to Angelo about this.) (Btw, sorry for the short posts)

((I cant do what? Any elemental can make their element where they want. Even as newborns... He has plenty of limitation if you had been reading. He needs air, he needs the earth, he also needs people. They help fuel his fires aswell. I am not god-modding either. But if you noticed She did puppet my OC. "With a thought, the fireworks Raven had created vanished ". That is taking over my OC's specific power. That is puppeting. I am not upset about it but it is troublesome.))

Zack stopped short in his walking, to Sam and Irian, when Raven started speaking. "Hey now you better not be referring to my sister!" the man stated as he mae a fist and and held it up, thretening to punch the other man before him. "But if your talking about Mai, you get use to her!" he said with a small smile showing he was joking around and had no intention of really doing anything to Raven, well if he was talking about Mai that was. "I've known her since I was a kid so I'm use to anything she throws at me." he said as he crossed his arms accross his chest. "You shouldnt make her mad though last time some one did that mom had to restrane her powers for a week!" He said while placing a finger on his bottom lip with thought. "Shes as bad as an underwater volcano!" he said with a deep sigh.

Mai glaired up at the fire elimental as he passed by and made his comments. She wasnt going to let him get to her, no way! Insted she concentrated on making sure tali got enough to drink. The nymph could nice and not lustfull if she wanted, she could even be a good mother if she wasnted too. "Dont you listen to him little one, hes just trying to ruffle yor feathers!" Mai stated with a stirn nodd of her head.

Sam gave a small laugh at being scolded, he couldnt help it he was cold after all! Though when Irian thretend to send Lief after him and the wolf was more than happy to comply, Sam simply nodded his head. "Yes ma'am!" he said as a wide smile spred accross the foxes face. "Wont do it agaion unless you let me!" he said and soluted the women.

Emily smiled as She felt Malone grasp her hand, she was extreamly happy to have Malone around her and even more so to know that he loved her as something more than just a brotherly love. She easly went along with him, keeping up with his pace. She didnt care where they were going as long as they were going together.
