Mixi smiled, "Your eye seems a lot like Crys... it's like she has her own personality..."

((This will be my last post until the others come and RP.))

"I see....well we better get going....for every moment we wait here, the Dark Resonance grows stronger." Rion said as he walked again.

(Oh, okay then...)


"Okay," Mixi said, continuing to walk. She took out her stone, Crys had stopped glowing. I wonder why she ain't so strong anymore...

[[Sorry. School and clubs and just got home...]]

Tira looked over her shoulder, sure that somebody was watching her. But nothing seemed out of the ordinary. But just to be sure, she weaved through the crowds and hurried over to her stand. She was safe from watching eyes behind her covered tables and surrounded by trusted associates. She set up her stall and laid out her jewelery and sat down to wait for customers.

Shion barely seemed to notice the commotion that had started happening around him. The fight seemed to originate at the card table and the more sinister looking men came over to egg it on. Within the next minute there was crashing and screaming as the bar maiden ran out and the bartender tried to seperate and stop the men from tearing up his building...again.
Whilst this was happening, Shion remained standing by the window in silent contemplation. Where he was to go next truly was a trivial thing, so many cities and over half of them he had already been in. Perhaps some place north, away from the oppresive heat of the desert. How these people handled this every day of their lives was beyond him.

Taking one step to the left, Shion avoided the cup that had gone flying behind him and instead of making contact with him, crashed through the window successfully shattering it. However it was not this that caught his eye, instead it was the boy who, as he and a girl walked past, successfully cut it right in half. They appeared to had been arguing and the boy had been growing frustrated. He probably thought it would make himself feel better and stronger by doing that but, at least in Shion's eyes, it just made the boy look like he was trying to prove himself and failed. "Hmph."

Cain raised his eyes to Alastor, his grin seeming to widen impossibly as he cocked his head to the side. "How rude." He muttured holding his arm out towards Alastor with two of his fingers outstretched towards him. "Dont you know you should introduce yourself before talking to a stranger?" He took two steps towards Alastor then, dropping his arm back to his side as his eyes flashed. "So Who are you and why did you lead me here?"

"Oh, don't tease me brother.....it's me Alastor Croney remember?" Alastor said with a creepy smile. "I'm Number 4 of the Shadow Knights, and I didn't call you here. Master Agito did. He's back....hehe I knew that he'd never be beaten." Alastor said. Alastor then sat down on a chair and began to play with Marcy again.

Rion felt a chill on his back, it felt odd yet wonderful at the same time. "Someone is watching us....." Rion said in a calm tone.

"What?" Mixi asked, "Do you think it's one of them... or someone of the... well, you know?"

"I don't know, but this odd sensation I felt....was good." Rion said as he started to look around for that same feeling again.

It looked as if others were having the same feelings she was. Tira spied on what looked to be a pair of tourists looking around. Easy money. Putting on a ring and holding up two necklaces, she started drawing attention.

"HEY! PRETTY TRINKETS. BUY GIFTS FOR LOVED ONES, AT A REASONABLE PRICE! BUY A TOKEN TO REMEMBER YOUR TRAVELS BY~!" Tourists just ate this stuff up, always buying a few for family or bragging rights.

"Hey look!" Mixi said, pointing at some kind of sales person. "They are selling nice things!" Mixi ran over to the sales girl. "What do you have?" she asked, looking at the necklaces. At that moment, her crystal moonstone started shaking. "What the..." she looked at the girl. "Are you...?"

Rion snapped out of his trance. "Huh?" Rion was a little confused but he went towards Mixi and the sales girl. Rion's necklace glowed, "Aah! Mixi! She's one of us! She's an Envoy. I can feel her power it's very strong." Rion said as his body felt a little numb from the intoxication of the earlier feeling.

[[She introduces herself as Mira on purpose. Alias for herself.]]

"I'm Mira, I have a couple of trinkets that you can buy for your companion, if you want. And I'm sorry, but you must be mistaken, I'm nobody special. Though you must tell me where you got those stones, very special. I could definitely make something out of them. But please look around and tell me if you are interested in anything." These people could say all the odd stuff in the world, but her be one of them? They looked like they still needed babysitters and obviously thought themselves to be special.

'This is why I prefer to be in the market. I can make money and hopefully find some intelligent conversation... Tira quickly faced another couple who had approached her stand and were obviously in the mood for buying. If the two kids weren't customers, they were not worth her time.

Shion smirked. If he hadnt known better it seemed like at least one of the two realized they had been being watched. Probably the boy since he had been the first one to start looking around. Yet, like typical tourists, they instead headed straight to a booth to buy souveniers then quell their curiousity. (sp? D: ) How simple minded. What was even the point in buying gifts? Though Shion had no living relatives that he knew of he had gotten gifts before and he kept them for a couple months to appease the person only to throw it away after that.
Worse they were buying it from the horned girl-The fake horned girl. If Shion was a demon he was fairly sure he would be greatly offended by a girl walking around with fake, realistic looking horns as hers on. And if that wasnt enough to make Shion be prejudiced against her, he had once had a small run in with the ferret she kept as a pet. A ferret! The damn thing seemed as if he was trying to yell at Shion for bumping into the girl when he had been walking backwards in order to talk with a client. He had had half a mind to put the thing out of its misery so his reputatuion wouldnt be tainted with the fact that pet ferrets were allowed to yell at him.
Shaking his head, Shion turned away and looked around the tavern. Most of it remained still intact but there was a few broken tables and bottles. One man laid dead on the floor, one had apparently run and besides the two still fighting all others were on the floor either unconscious or pretending to be. "I think Ill have a drink now." Shion spoke with the whisper of the smirk still on his face as he approached a bar stool.

"Ah, the pervert." Cain spoke as if that was the only way that he remembered Alastor. "It has been a long time." He added, his head still leaning towards the side as if it was the most comfortable position in the world. "Master...Agito?" It was as if the name had begun to stir up memories in Cain as his eyes continued reddening. Images of the destruction that Cain had caused on Agito's orders that had at first been only visible to himself were beginning to become noticeable to Alastor in bits and pieces as Cain laughed. "That son of a ---. It took him long enough." He said loudly with an accompanying howl of laughter.

((I forgot how to spell souvenier suddenly D: I hope i did it right ))

[[Haha, it's probably fine. I have spell check on firefox though, pretty amazing.]]

Damn, she was still being watched... She glanced around, careful to check that the base of her horns were covered by her head scarf. She motioned to Nic to watch the wares while she put money in her safe box and get out a few more jewelry to replace the ones that were bought. Tira scanned the surroundings, but the only thing that was suspicious was the local tavern, but that place was always in shambles. Thoughts of a spy was wiped from her mind as another customer came to the front of her tent.

Fayne brushed a lock of white hair out of his eyes as he wandered into town, slightly put off by the desert heat. He picked the wrong day to wear a coat. He had recently finished up a job with one of the richer clients and had a good amount of money to spend. He heard a girl shout about some jewelery on sale, but told himself that there wasn't any use other than trading with some sucker for more money. A drink would be better anyway. He headed towards a nearby tavern, heading inside.

Alexandr sighed as her governess continued on about whatever today's lesson was. She honestly had no clue because it seemed as soon as her voice came out Alexandr zoned out. "Alex?" the womans voice finally woke the girl out of her daze and caused her to look up. "What is it?" Alexandr asked, immediently sitting straight as if to fool the teacher into believing she had always been paying attention. "I think it is time for a break dear." The governess smiled as she collected the history books and stood up to leave the room after a short curtsy.
Alexandr let out a held breath and placed her elbows on the table. The days were certainly getting longer while the nights got shorter. Perhaps she was spending to much time playing during the night and should start getting some sleep instead. Yet, if she did that she would never get a chance to use them without a citizen seeing and spreading the word.
Pushing away from the table, Alexandr stood and glanced out the window towards the rolling sand dunes surronding their house. Perhaps it was time for a hange of scenery. It had been awhile since she had made an appearance in the city.

Shion reached for his drink right when the tinkle of the door's bell went off signifying the entrance of another customer. For a moment he didnt bother to glance around figuring the person would leave after seeing what all had happened in the place within the last five minutes. However, as it turned out they werent as perturbed as Shion expected as the bell did not go off a second time.. Taking a swig of the pugnant alcohol, Shion finally turned around to see a white haired man standing in the doorway.
So it had been him, a fellow killer. Moving to another chair so as to give the man some room should he sit there, Shion gave the man a curt nod before returning to his drink. At least he had beat the man to the city. He wouldnt be finding any jobs around here anytime soon.

Rion followed the girl named Mira. Rion breathed deeply and used his power of the void. Rion created a pocket dimension in front of the Envoy that claims to call herself Mira. The dimension hole looked like a medium-sized sphere that is colored like "soul pyris". Rion was in a lot of pain and started to cough up blood. "This is my power and if willed it so I could tear a rip in the fabric of dimensional space, or send anything anywhere, even into a hellish place where the judgment of souls occur. This power is painful and it's the only one of its kind." Rion said as his voice grew scarce. "Listen I know that you are an Envoy, my Goddess Stone shows me that you are one and it never lies." Rion looked at Mira sharply with his eyes.

((Soul Pyris is the essense of a person or animal's soul. It looks like an orb but it's see-through and spectral.))

"P-pervert! I'm no pervert, I'm just eccentric!" Alastor proclaimed. "Aah, nevermind......so how was your nap? 'Sleeping' for what seem like an eternity was a pain in the ass for me.....but what about you? You seem to have forgotten some of your precious memories of having fun." Alastor smirked. Alastor sighed, "I wish everyone gets here soon I'm a little anxious, I want to hear what Master Agito has in store for us." Alastor said with a perverted smile.

Fayne ignored all the bar fighting, unfazed by the violence. It wasn't like they were killing each other. He walked over, acknowledging the black haired man's nod and sat down, ordering a drink. He was pretty sure that like himself he was a killer. Not that he'd be competing for a job, yet. He was pretty sure that he would end up blowing his money as usual. Probably on drinks.

"Ahaha, pretty trick. Now stop being a show off and stop that before you die in here and I get arrested." She slapped Rion on the back as she walked past him, ignoring the vortex.
"Trust me, hell is not the worst place to be. And everybody lies someway or another." Once she returned to the front, Nic scampered up her arm and onto her shoulder, warily staring at Rion.
"Now go before I call the authorities. If you want me to join, it is going to take more than you and your girlfriend there to convince me it is worth my time."

"Very well then.....I hope you protect yourself well. For you will not live long.....I know your fate, and if you want to live then you'll join the Goddess in our fight." Rion said. "Besides nothing will live once Agito comes back stronger than ever, he'll raise his army of the Dark Resonance and soon.....he'll kill everyone even foolish children like you......if I fight alone and die so be it......" Rion said calmly as he walked out and went away from the desert city. "Lady Hanastasha, why is it that this journey is so hard? Why are the people of this world so stupid and blind to the world's problem? Doesn't anyone care, isn't there anyone who even gives a damn about our planet? Or are they so blind that they are willing to accept death as there final judgment?" Rion asked as tears of blood flowed down his cheeks.

"I don't know......I wish I understood my own creations sometimes......but then again no one understands my feelings or compassion, except you, you tried for me and that I am grateful." Hanastasha said. "Are you really that serious to fight alone?" Hanastasha was worried as she came out of Rion's necklace. Hanastasha looked like a beautiful maiden who wore silver and gold wreaths that covered her body.

"I have no choice even if I chose to find the others, they might be more skeptical like that girl.....how pathetic....I actually wish Agito was alive at least then all the Envoys will understand.....no forget it, I'm sorry Lady Hanastasha. I think the parasite is fueling and feeding off my emotions. Damn ever since I came across that remnant Alastor, the parasitic crystal he implanted on me has been so excruiating that it's making me feel less emotion everyday." Rion said. Rion fell to his knees the pain was getting a little more annoying. Rion soon collapsed from blood loss as Hanastasha was forced to go inside his necklace again.

Alexandr's pure white dress blinded even her as the girl finally stepped outside into the sand. She had decided to walk instead of having the horse prepared for her just so she could avoid any more offers of a servants accompionment. Honestly, they knew she did not need a gaurd and that she could protect herself so what was with all the formalities?

Sighing, Alexandr straightened her dress before starting her slow walk through the desert. Her right hand held the cross that at times the girl found she needed to help her hold her balance due to the sliding grains. After all these years you think she would have an easier time then this, but the ground Alexandr found was always unpredictable; What looked like steady ground could end up enveloping you even past the ankle.

Yet with all these difficulties, Alexandr found she had not walked long when she began to hear voices. She could just barely make out what appeared to be some strange man talking to...a mirage?

Curious, Alexandr stopped to watch when suddenly the woman vanished and the man collapsed. Without a word, the brunette hefted up some of the skirt and began to make her way towards him.

"Oh dear." Alexandr spoke in her same monotonous tone as she looked down at Rion. "this is...odd."

Rion was unconscious from the pain he received. Rion's necklace began to glow again. A voice spoke out of his necklace.

"Please help him, help him I beg of you!" The voice said. Hanastasha was very worried about Rion as she pleaded to the girl.

Once Rion had left, Tira let out a sigh. 'A kid 2 years younger than me calling me a kid? This is some type of low...' She had already earned enough money, so she packed everything away for a quick break to record the sales and forget about the odd pair.

'His trick was impressive, I'll give him that. But I'll outlive him by centuries if he keeps on acting like that. Purposely injuring himself just to try and prove his cause... He needs a nanny or something. Who the hell lets a 17 year old child go alone in a desert? Oh, goddess, guilt...' The tavern across the street was actually quieter than normal... Maybe the brawlers had finally killed each other off... Grabbing her accounting book, record of sales and a few coins, she went over to grab some alcohol and a bite to eat... Wait...

"Nic, why don't you stay here? Can't risk you getting injured if the bar fighters regain consciousness and start wrecking the place again. And go guard the boxes, oh k?" The ferret nodded and darted off to hide and 'stand guard'.

When she entered through the doors she noticed a few things... One, the fighters looked pathetic and were still trying to fight. Two, a pair of dangerous men were sitting at the bar... Probably mercenaries. And if she didn't want to be slapped across the face every other minute by a disoriented fatigued muscle man, she'd have to sit near people who would probably like her horns on a silver platter.
'This day is just flippin' fantastic...

As the other man sat down next to Shion, Shion took the opportunity to judge and examine the man more closely. "Shion." He spoke fishing off his drink before offering a hand towards Fayne. "First time in town?" Though Shion knew he would be leaving soon it never hurt to form connection's in his profession. Once in his younger day's he had even gotten a more skilled assasin to take him as a protege of sorts. Then when the man was killed on the job, Shion finished it for him and his name became well-known.
When the bell went off again, Shion glanced over his shoulder to spot the sales girl walk in. Honestly SHion did not like sitting with his back to the door. He felt like when he did that at any moment someone would walk in and suddenly stab him. It was a feeling that came with the job. "Well, well, I guess the bar is losing its bad reputation." He muttured as he turned back around to look at Fayne again.
