Arlexis shifted slightly. "Just about twelve hours old..." he said softly. He shrugged at her other question, partly because he didn't know the answer and partly because he wasn't really interested. His eyes narrowed as his hand flicked out, a knife like the one he'd detonated earlier shooting from between his fingers and striking something in the air that gave off a spark. Damn... seems we have company, he thought as several kobolds darted out from the trees, moving around the lake and through the shallows with short spears and swords. They were weasel-like humanoids with primitive tribal ways of living, but were vicious and dangerous in groups. He saw easily two dozen of the four foot tall kobolds charging at them. "Seems we have a few spies.... and here I was hoping to have you to myself," he said quietly, teasing her as he stood, leaning the guitar next to him by a still growing elm tree.

 Ajeela shifted to look at the Kobolds coming at them. Her eyes widened with surprise and recognition. She had seen their kind before. "Scrums," she murmured her word for them and stood up in a fighting stance, ready for their attack.
She glanced at Arlexis and smiled at his comment, then turned back just in time for the furst Scrum to arrive. It had gone straight for Arlexis and she didn't bother with it when the 2nd Scrum rushed at her. He tried to hack her with his axe but he was quite short. She leap frogged over him and piveted around to kick him in the head. He growled as he fell forward and she swiftly stole his weapon, ready for the next oponent.

Arlexis took half a step to the side and felt the muscles in his leg tense before he lashed out with a kick that slammed hard into the kobold's head and neck with a simple murmured word. "Shoushitsu," he murmured as the kobold fell limply, its neck snapped as he spun, slamming a palm heel strike that lifted the second one into three others before he twisted his foot slightly, snapping it upward and catching a third up under the chin and flipping it into the air before driving it facefirst into the dirt with a muffled thud as he shifted his stance, standing in what some martial artists would have known as a Hu Kool Chase, or 'back leaning stance'OOC--For what I mention in the next few posts, click here to know what I mean.

Ajeela was smiling as she fought the Scrums. Adrenaline pumped through her veins as she rent asundered a Scrum with her hands and her feral side took over. Her hands seemed ot gleam with fire as she punched, jabbed and kicked at the Scrums, enjoying the fight. Her hunting instincts had taken over and she even bit the ear off of one Scrum, who grunted in agony before she delivered the final blow. Ajeela was definnitely not afraid of killing.

Arlexis took a deep breath, feeling the energy gather in his chest before he exhaled with a snarled phrase. "Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu!!" he growled, a large fireball escaping from his lips and incinerating a quartet of kobolds while badly burning two others too badly to retreat or attack again. He deliberately dropped into the kneeling Choi Ha Dan Chase so to make certain they did not try ducking under the fireball.OOC--

Ajeela felt the fire tingle on her back but did not hurt her. She was immune to fire due to her afinity for it. She grinned back at him and gave him a curt nod of congratulations. She turned back and found there were no mroe Scrums alive. Ajeela placed her hands on her hips and started laughing, her chest vibrating from her laughter.

Arlexis cocked his head as he remained kneeling, casually strumming the opening to a tune he was very fond of.
"I wake up in the morning...
And I raise my weary head...
I got an old coat for a pillow...
And the earth was last night's bed...
I don't know where I'm going...
Only God knows where I've been...
I'm a devil on the run...
A six gun lover...
A candle in the wind...
When you're brought into this world...
They say you're born in sin...
Well at least they gave me something...
I didn't have to steal or have to win...
Well they tell me that I'm wanted...
Yeah I'm a wanted man...
I'm the colt in your stable...
I'm what Cain was to Abel...
Mister... catch me if you can...
I'm going down in a blaze of glory...
Take me now but know the truth,
I'm going down in a blaze of glory....
Lord I never drew first...
But I drew first blood...
I'm no one's son...
Call me young gun...
You ask about my conscience...
And I offer you my soul...
You ask If I'll grow to be a wise man...
Well I ask if I'll grow old...
You ask me if I known love...
And what it's like to sing songs in the rain...
Well,I've seen love come...
And I've seen it shot down...
I've seen it die in vain...
Shot down in a blaze of glory...
Take me now but know the truth,
'Cause I'm going down in a blaze of glory...
Lord I never drew first...
But I drew first blood...
I'm the devil's son...
Call me young gun...
Each night I go to bed...
I pray the Lord my soul to keep...
No, I ain't looking for forgiveness...
But before I'm six foot deep...
Lord,I got to ask a favor...
And I'll hope you'll understand...
'Cause I've lived life to the fullest...
Let the boy die like a man...
Staring down the bullet...
Let me make my final stand...
Shot down in a blaze of glory...
Take me now but know the truth,
I'm going out in a blaze of glory...
Lord I never drew first...
But I drew first blood...
and I'm no one's son...
Call me young gun...
I'm a young gun..." he sang in a low voice.OOC--

Ajeela turned and cocked her head at the sound. Then she walked over to Arlexis and sat down next to his kneeling form. "I didn't know you could sing..." she murmured as the tune reminded her of something. Her brows scrunched together trying desperately to remember what this song reminded her of.
Then her eyes widened in recognition. "That's the song my grandmother used to sing to me!"((im totally making htat up. i cant hear the song b/c im at a library so yeah haha))

Arlexis smirked slightly. "This one is bound to touch the animal within... I know, considering it did the same for me when I heard it," he said, switching to a tune that had a darker, more primal feel to it.
"Off through the new day's mist I run...
Off from the new day's mist I have come...
I hunt...
Therefore I am...
Harvest the land,
Taking of the fallen lamb....
Off thruogh the new day's mist I run...
Off from the new day's mist I have come...
We shift...
Pulsing with the earth,
Company we keep...
Roaming the land while you sleep....
Shape shift... nose to the wind...
Shape shift... feeling I've been...
Move swift... all senses clean...
Earth's gift... back to the meaning of life...
Bright is the moon... high in starlight...
Chill is the air... cold as steel tonight...
We shift...
Call of the wild...
Fear in your eyes...
It's later than you realized...
Shape shift... nose to the wind...
Shape shift... feeling I've been...
Move swift... all senses clean...
Earth's gift... back to the meaning of life...
I feel a change...
Back to a better day...
Hair stands on the back of my neck...
In wildness is the preservation of the world...
So seek the wolf in thyself...
Shape shift... nose to the wind...
Shape shift... feeling I've been...
Move swift... all senses clean...
Earth's gift...
Back to the meaning of wolf... and man..." he sang in a deeper baritone-bass tone, hints of low growls edging the chorus.OOC--

Ajeela smiled. It was a tune she knew very well. She stood up and began to dance to it. It was an old ritual dance she had learned by watching her family dance to it. When the song was finished, Ajeela sniffed. Tears slowly ran down her face as she remembered and relived the last few moments of her village when it was attacked.

Arlexis frowned slightly when he saw the tears. "Trust me, I know loss all too well, it seems sometimes," he said quietly.OOC--

Ajeela looked at Arlexis and nodded slowly. "yes I remember when i was very young, I watched my village perish at the hands of rowdy soldiers. They almost seemed as though they were having fun," she said with a hint of anger in her voice.

Arlexis sighed softly. "Consider yourself fortunate you were never beaten for something you had no control over," he muttered. The tone wasn't angry, but more resigned... as if it was something he was used to.OOC--

"I had no control over what happened to my village," she said her tone challenging.

Arlexis cocked an eyebrow. "You'd be surprised how little we really have control over... it's something I've learned the hard way all too often, and one thing I flat out do not tolerate is prejudice," he said softly. He shifted and for a second, a deeper secondary illusion wavered, revealing burn scars on the side of his head and neck that crept to the corner of his eye and vanished beneath his clothes as well as a deep slashing scar that went diagonally from his hairline near his temple across his left eye and stopped at the corner of his mouth. The scars were visible for only a couple of seconds, and he hoped Ajeela had not seen them.
