Welcome to Gaia! ::

Talik 'Daniel Weber'

Talik smiled a bit as Guardian Skylar mentioned her own reasons before pointing to an older looking factory. Looking in the direction of the building, Talik remembered Skylar telling him about the old factory once when they were out on a walk. Talik gave a small nod of approval and started to head off in the direction of the building "That should be perfect. You prefer fighting inside or outside? She'll likely be the opposite of where the chimeras are." Talik stated, casting a small glance over his shoulder to make sure Guardian Skylar was still with him. If he lured the chimera's into the building, the other Cyniclon would likely be outside the building, and vice versa. As he approached the building, Talik let out a small breath, finding a bit of relief in the fact that the factory was a pretty good distance away from Skylar's house.

As Guardian Skylar mentioned that she would rather fight inside, Talik nodded "Alright, sounds good. I'm not to sure which floor or anything she's going to end up on, though if I had to guess, probably one of the upper floors." Talik informed, hoping that his newfound partner wouldn't have to many issues finding the target inside of the factory. Going over to the open space in front of the old factory, Talik took a small breath before turning to Guardian Skylar, a small smile on his face "Go hide in the factory. She won't take long to get here." he spoke. Once she was inside, Talik raised one of his hands upwards, a blue light forming in his opened palm, after a second, the ball shot upwards like a lightning strike. The light seemed to linger for a moment before fading out, the sound of claws running in the distance. It didn't take long for two poison chimeras like the one from the park showed up, each taking a fighting stance, teeth barred at the Cyniclon. Good, with two here, she should've already teleported into the building. Talik thought to himself.

The two beasts circled around Talik, making it clear that he was being given a chance to surrender, though that offer wasn't going to be taken. Hands at his waist, Talik pulled out his sais as he lunge towards one of the beasts. With the other Cyniclon so close by, the beasts would be harder to take down than the previous ones, with any luck, Guardian Skylar would be able to find the creator quickly. Slashing through one of the chimera's sides, Talik jumped backward, barely dodging a swipe from the second beast. As one of the tails lashed out at him, Talik side stepped it, only to get struck by one of the other tails, a trail of blood making its way down his cheek. He knew that they were under orders to capture him and bring him back alive, but he knew the risks of being brought back. Teleporting out of the way as one of the chimeras pounced at him in an attempt to pin him down, reappearing a few feet away from the chimeras. A jolt of pain shot through Talik's body and he winced in pain, teleporting again as the second chimera pounced. Another pain shot through him as he reappeared, the world feeling like it was starting to spin as he touched the wound on his cheek with a hand. Frig, must be a new poison. Not good. Talik thought to himself before taking a swipe at the chimera as it tried to hit him. Alright, only the one should have it. The other probably still has the old poison, so just be more cautious with the one. Talik thought to himself trying keep focus.

As an arrow struck the new poison chimera, Talik took advantage of the beasts confusion, sending a burst of energy at it, killing it off, before turning to guardian Skylar who didn't look so good, Probably the new poison he thought to himself. As she mentioned that the other Cyniclon was trapped inside, Talik gave a nod "Alright, you finish off this one. It's got the old poison still." he spoke quickly moving past guardian Skylar and into the building.

"Ah Talik, so nice to see you. Why don't you give me a hand." the woman spoke with a small smirk. "Pass. what poison are you using this time,Gistiu?" Talik asked firmly, wiping off some of the blood from the gash on his cheek. "If you come back with me, maybe I'll tell you." the woman chuckled lightly. Talik teleported in front of her suddenly and placed his palm onto her forehead, a small blue light coming from his hand for a second before he took a step back, the woman clearly a bit shocked by his sudden action. "I know you always carry an antidote on you in case of emergencies. And now with you being unable to teleport for a while, we have plenty of time to check you for it. Or we could do it the hard way." Talik spoke his voice going cold at the end and one of his eyes darkening slightly. Gistiu flinched slightly, her face changing to one of defeat "Fine, you win. pouch on my right hip." the woman muttered. Talik's eye returned to normal "See, not that hard to cooperate." he spoke moving closer and shifting through the pouch till he found what he was looking for. "That coming from you." Gistiu hissed with a small smirk, that quickly vanished as one of Talik's sais pressed up against her throat, his eye pitch black as he looked at her. "I could end you right now, but I have a message for you to send back for me." Talik spoke coldly.

Walking out of the old factory, Talik went over to guardian Skylar, the chimera if still standing, having run off to follow it's creator. Talik let out a small sigh and held out a small vial to his companion "Sorry, wasn't expecting her to have a new poison that quickly." Talik apologized with a small awkward smile, his eyes already back to normal. "This will handle it though you might still be a bit tired." he informed, not wanting the guardian to be in any pain. As usual, Gistiu had only been carrying one antidote, but Talik felt pretty confident he'd be able to sleep off whatever, besides it was his fault she was hurt anyway.

Resting a hand onto Guardian Skylar's shoulder to help keep her balanced, Talik gave a small nod "It's okay. I have the antidote. Drink up." he spoke, bringing the antidote up to her lips. The new poison seemed to be reacting fast in the Guardian's blood than his own, making Talik wonder a bit how the poison in him would end up affecting his own body. Already it was like the world was spinning and his vision kept blurring out if he started to lose focus, but the guardian seemed to be in a worse state at the moment. "You going to be alright getting back to somewhere to rest. Otherwise I can get us back to my place and you can spend the night there." Talik offered, trying to keep himself from swaying. All he could do now as Daniel was hope that Skylar had gone to bed and he'd be able to get back to her place in the morning before she notices that he wasn't there for the night. Sorry Skylar, maybe one day I'll be able to tell you everything. he thought to himself, upset that he might be making his best friend worry about him.

As guardian Skylar pushed his hand away after she had taken some of the antidote, Talik frowned a bit "I'm fine. My people are pretty resistant to things like this. Take the rest, otherwise the antidote might not take full effect." Talik spoke sternly. At the mention of her fighting for someone and having someone to get back to, Talik couldn't help but to smile a bit "Yeah, honestly I'm in a similar predicament." he admitted as he folded guardian Skylar's hand around the small vial with the remaining bitter cure. "Well, make sure you get back to them safely. I'll see you around." Talik said with a small smile before teleporting away so guardian Skylar couldn't argue with him.

Reappearing in an alleyway near Skylar's house, Talik let out a breath as he tried to get the world to stabilize again. The poison seemed to have a strong burst of effect when he teleported, Talik made a mental note to try and get Gistiu to tell him more about it if he ever got the chance. After another minute or so of gathering himself, Talik changed back into his human form, another sharp pain going through his body Daggumit Gistiu he thought to himself slightly irritated. Whatever was in the poison did not react well with Cyniclon shifting either. With his human form stabilizing, Daniel let out a small breath before walking out of the alleyway and over to Skylar's house, not realizing that the cut on his cheek was still there bleeding a bit.

Giving a light knock on the door before opening it, Daniel entered the familiar home of Skylar. "Skylar? You still up? I'm back so no getting angry at me." he called out with a small chuckle, his voice loud enough for her to hear him but quiet enough so she wouldn't wake up if she'd fallen asleep.

Talik 'Daniel Weber'

Before he had teleported, Talik could have sworn that guardian Skylar had mumbled the name Daniel, his human name. He had brushed it off as being tired and unwell due to the poison and that it could make him hear things, but it rang through his head as he walked back to Skylar's house. Does she know about him? Was she fighting for a human named Daniel. Thoughts flooded his head, only to all vanish as the voice of Skylar broke into his head, bringing him comfort.

As Skylar appeared, Daniel smiled, glad to see that she had been home and was looking fine. Taking off his shoes and putting them down beside the door before leaving his bag with them, Daniel smiled "I think it went well. We got stuck on one of the problems but got it figured out eventually." he stated with a small chuckle. He hated lying to Skylar, every time he did it made his heart ache and he felt like a terrible friend, but he had to, to keep her safe, to continue being able to be with her. As Daniel turned back to Skylar, he was a bit startled as she closed in on him and dabbed at his face as she asked if he was okay. Frig, guess the poison kept the wound from shifting. he thought to himself a bit irritated. "U-ummm yeah, it got pretty dark out and I tripped on something. Guess when I fell something cut me. Nothing to worry about." Daniel spoke with a small sheepish chuckle. He was honestly ready to collapse, but he wanted to spend more time with Skylar while he had the chance. "Miss me while I was gone?" he asked placing a gentle hand on her head. Something about that contact with her was so comforting, like everything that was bothering him in life just vanished. He wanted to tell her about him, about everything, but where would he even start, how would she react. His face grew a bit more serious, his eyes going off to the side for a moment in thought as he gathered himself. "Hey, quick question. There was a person that saved me earlier, a girl with dark hair and fox ears and tails. Any idea what that's about?" he asked curiously, wondering if Skylar knew anything about the guardian. He was still fairly new to Earth, but he hadn't seen anyone else like Guardian Skylar around. "Mind if we sit down?" Daniel added starting to feel the world spinning a bit again.
