Courtyard (North)

[Ethan Barrows]

Biaksu rose to his feet, fury fluxuating through his body. His mind racing, searching for his nearby friend. Dahv Kaitos is here... I'll get him... I'll kill him where he stands... His wounds were not healed but he quickly tended to them. He knelt and pulled out his herb sac. He instantly began to heal his wounds, and sadly disintegrated his prized herb. "I will get my vengance, and Dahv's blood will reside on the blade of our fathers." He rose to his feet once more and ran to the cottage. He slipped inside and pulled out his sword; The Sapphire Fang, also named Jasui. He tied the sheath to his side and left the cottage once more. He ran to the school and leapt onto the building rooftop in hopes of spotting Dahv. "I'll find you... and you'll finally die..."  

[Dante_V_Sparda]

Dahv walked calmly through the halls of Ria High. His long training finally at an end. His mind was strained with many thoughts of Biaksu being in the same area as him. Eventually they would clash and it would not be a pretty sight. His mind jumped back into reality and he stared out into the courtyard. His body shook as he saw the ice covered cottage not far from him. "He's near... damn it... I have to hide." His sword became heavy as it neared it's brother; Biaksu's katana, Jasui. Dahv instantly began rushing to the forest nearby. Moving so fast, hopefully he wasn't seen at all. He rolled roughly through the brush as he passed into the forest.  

[Ethan Barrows]

The hair upon the back of Biaksu's neck stood up and his grin crept from both sides. "So he's finally here..." He watched as Dahv bolted across the courtyard. He stood up and readied himself for the fight to come. "Chilare!" Biaksu raised his hand back and it coated itself in shining ice. He jumped into the air towards the forest and swung his hand. The ice flew off of his hand and soared into the forest. It hit the ground and exploded in power. Freezing everything in sight. "Hahaha! At last I have found you Dahv Kaitos! I can finally kill you for killing my sister!"  

[Dante_V_Sparda]

Dahv stopped as he heard an incantation flow through the air. "Biaksu!" He screamed under his breath. He bolted to a far corner and knelt beside a tree. He drew his katana and raised it to face horizontally in front of his face, marking the defensive position. "Juziki!" Lightning coursed through the blade of his katana. It died out then burst in power as it surrounded his body like a cocoon. The only defense he had against Biaksu's techniques. He felt the area around him freeze and then heard Biaksu's cold voice echo through the area. Dahv's lightning shield vanished and he rose to his feet. "I don't want to fight you Biaksu!"  

[Ethan Barrows]

Biaksu landed softly before the forest. The understanding of his powers wasn't needed at this point, seeing as his energy was in full capacity. "Dahv... You took something from me... Not just my sister... but her precious necklace as well... And some time ago, I find it on some stranger! I have many reasons to fight and kill you right now!" He focused his energy and he turned towards the kekuri's signal. He raised his hand again and his black wings sprouted. "Chilare!" He launched another ice cluster right at Dahv. The ice piercing tree after tree until it hit the designated point.  

[Dante_V_Sparda]

Dahv looked up as the trees in front of him split one after another. He panicked as the final tree split and the ice bullet headed for his head. He quickly parried the bullet and sent it flying upward. Damn... he's gotten stronger! But so have i! Dahv ran quickly to another hiding spot and waited to get a good opportunity. "It wasn't my fault! I didn't kill Kari! Lest you forget she was going to be my wife!" Dahv's heart throbbed in pain as he remembered the day of her death. The ice shattering and stabbing into her body. The necklace was the only keepsake of her once glory of ice mastery.  

[Ethan Barrows]

Biaksu screamed in rage as he heard Dahv's protest. "You killed her! You told her to shatter the ice! You caused her to nearly kill us all! Don't you dare claim you loved her!" He raised his katana and called upon the dark powers within him. "CHILARANA!" His katana lit up a light blue and gave off a chilling wind. He swung his katana and it unleash a huge wave of ice. It cleaved all the trees, and shattered them into pieces, leaving Dahv completely exposed and without a hiding place. "I'LL KILL YOU!" Biaksu lunged at Dahv with incredible speed with his wings flapping in an angry flurry.  

[Dante_V_Sparda]

Dahv jumped up and stood facing Biaksu. "If that's how you want it then so be it!" Dahv let out a calm breath and his white wings sprouted instantly from his back. "Go ahead and try! Don't forget who i am!" He raised his katana into a defensive stance and readied himself for the fight to come. His breath steady, his mind empty, his body still. I'm sorry Kari... i have to fight him... please forgive me. "Juzakre!" Lightning instantly coursed around Dahv's blade and he smiled at biaksu. "Come on."

[[ Heheh, as much as i'd love to stay, I must go... See ya later man ]]

As Seira laid herself on the ground, Orthae prepared everything for the complicated spelling. He knew the whole thing by heart, though he used it rarely, but still went about crafting a traditional spell circle into the ground, in case anything arose. He made sure Seira was in the center of the circle, and double-checked to make sure everything had been drawn correctly. Satisfied that he had done everything right, he kneeled down next to Seira and began the spell. "Chath, Niar, Xar'zith, Har'dro, Air'oth, Nizzre', Elghinn..." He started, drawing upon the ancient language for a little extra 'umph'. With the name of each element, he made a hand symbol that matched. "...Weth raxoll, izil ulu end dro wun natha drada. Xal dos naut xta'rl nindol khel h'uena ka dos hass'l ulu jivviim, ji verve 'zil nindol wlalth zhah wun k'lar..." Orthae weaved the second part of the spell. The spell circle in the ground blazed with white light, as did Orthae's hands. In the air above Seira, Orthae drew the japanese characters for each respective element, needing binds for the magic. Then, to seal the spell and make it complete, he invoked the spell's name. "Null All!" The characters of white fire floating above Seira converged together into a sphere of white flame, which washed over Seira. Along the base of her neck, each character representing their respective element appeared in black, and would disappear as soon as each element was used against her. Orthae altered the spell, though. He made it so that the full effect of the spell would never really fade. After the initial complete protection from an attack, the protection wouldn't disappear entirely, but would continue to give her an amplified resistance to each element. The spell circle's light vanished as fast as it had come, and just like that, the spell was complete.

Orthae stood, panting, his brow moist with sweat. The spell had taken more energy than he had imagined, and he had pushed himself to the edge of fainting. Reaching to his left wing, he pulled off a loose feather. It crumbled into a fine dust in his hands. He reached into his little pouch of seemingly infinite space, and pulled out a small vial of a syrupy blue liquid. Out came the cork, and he carefully added the dust to the vial. As soon as the two came in contact with one another, the blue liquid changed to a clear, sparkling dark blue. Orthae downed the mixture, and a moment later felt the familiar tingle of his energy being restored. It was a rush every time. Just one of the many potions and various other remedial ingredients. He knelt down again and very gently shook Seira's shoulder to try and wake her.

Ayise skipped down the plaza and into the center of the courtyard and after a moment climbed into a tree. Getting a better vantage point from there. She drew her legs up and peered down into the yard as another person followed closely after her.

The material of his jacket swished and the setting sun shone off of the dark glasses as the man looked around, knwoing she was somewhere nearby. He sighed and paced the yard carefully, following her steps until the tree, slightly puzzled.

Ayise drew her legs up and climbed a few branches higher.

"Okay, little girl. Game over, get down here." He looked up at the tree seemingly seeing her through all the branches.

She sighed, defeated and dropped down from the tree, landing on her arms and flipping onto her feet quickly. Taking a step back she kept her eyes on him, "I..."

He drew the sleek black gun and pointed it at her forehead. "Ayise..."  

[Kumizu]

Kumizu had followed the man as closely as he could considering his disability. He thought that Ayise would be a bit harder to coax, yet she seemed to come to him willingly. Any questions that came up were soon disregarded when he saw the gun.

Putting the cane in his other hand, Kumizu ran to the two of them. In his free hand an orb appeared, brightly glowing blue. After a moment of gathering energy, he threw it at the gun. At the very least, it would knock the gun out of his hand. At the most, the gun would be destroyed. He stopped shortly after to catch his breath. Damn leg.  

[EvrythingTastesLikeGinger]

The gun flew from his hand and shattered, the man, being caught off guard. His eyes peered above his glasses and widened, he quickly stepped in front of Ayise drawing another gun. "Lady Ayise, who is this person?"

Ayise looked puzzled, "What...I think there's been a misunderstanding..."

"He doesn't have clearance to be within fifteen feet of you." The man said stubbornly.

"But he's not, um..." Ayise sighed, "Ezekiel, put the gun down now."

Ezekiel glowered and lowered the gun, "But my lady..."

She looked Kumizu, "He wasn't trying to hurt me, just...track me down."

Ezekiel pushed his sunglasses up, revealing bright amethyst eyes that glowed eerily, "If you didn't run, I wouldn't need to chase. AND it was only a water gun, however realistic." He sulked.  

[Kumizu]

Kumizu looked over to the puddle that had once been a water gun. Lazily, not even extending his arm, he pointed to the water and twirled his finger. It rose and twirled in the air a few times before he stopped, and it fell. It seemed the water was pure... well, normal would be a better word.

Looking down, Kumizu noticed that it did in fact look like he had stopped just short of fifteen feet away from them. He took a giant step forward (starting with his good leg) before asking, "So, Ezekiel, why are you here?"  

[EvrythingTastesLikeGinger]

"I am here to-"

"Don't bother, Kumizu worries too much as it is."

He quieted immediately, it was obvious he was obeying her without question.

"Ezekiel just came here for a visit, there's no need to think about it too much, like I said I'm going to my room."

A frown crossed his face.

"See? Boy am I tired, goodnight." She walked off across the yard.
