Welcome to Gaia! ::

John scratched his head. "Hey.... I guess he's still crazy...." He walked forward and then his ears twitched. 'Damn it.... Those messenger demons must've been faster than originally I thought...' He stated to himself in his own mind. 'There is one other demon nearing us....' His nose was enflamed with the scent of it. His eyes darted around them, but he didn't seem to be able to physically see him, although the scent was familiar.

As soon as grave had left, the ringing in my ears stopped. I stood slowly, as not to give myself a headache and looked worriedly at Tari, "that wasn't a natural grave... although nothing is really natural about him..." I tried to move everyone towards the camp fire. Tari just snorted something about grave's patheticness, and I chose to ignore the fumming princess. I sighed, as I pondered how to protect the girl, and save grave. Night came quickly, and I waited until everyone was asleep, I looked in on Tari before the left. I ran swiftly to through the forest, and swung myself up in the tree just as Grave and another demon came into veiw of me. They were arguing, but I could be sure over what as I was too far to hear, and I didn't want to intrude, or waste magic in eavesdropping, I sat there for an hour before the strange demon fell asleep, and his three headed dog sat near him, loyally. I cringed, and thought about My Falcon, and the slanderous panther that was like a second arm to Tari most of the time.

I thought about about the cat, and realised She'd been missing since the last inn... I shrugged, It's was as intelligent as any and would probably find Tari soon.

Grave stood up and approached the tree I was in, and inside my head, his voice grew, weakly, I heard him say, " I know your here..."

I dropped down effortlessly, and looked him in the eye, they seemed agitated, I gathered from the arguement before. "What the hell happened to you?"

My eye twitched slightly, and smirked, "So You're kinda at a disadvantage then, aren't you?" I didn't stop there, I had to push him over the edge to extract whatever had him, "You're a coward, and you have no self control. One measly girl and you're almost over the edge. That's pitiful..." I let it drop there, as i saw his eyes change colour. "You look a little angry, don't you?"

Joshoku wandered the forest to make sure that the demon known as Grave had gone. She could hear a slight noise coming from the tree above her. Through the dark night she could barely make out the figgure of Grave and Kethsar. Something in the air wasn't right. Joshoku flinched and yelled "kashoku!" in a foreign tongue. A bright light burst through the area making it as bright as if it were day.

Zero had been meditating in the forest after an argument with Grave, until he sensed another disturbance he looked up and saw Grave once again not acting as himself, he swiftly moved to catch Kethsar and used his mastery over shadows to weaken the effects of Graves spells he placed Kethsar safely on the ground and stood before his friend "What are you doing Grave? Calm down i don't want to hurt you" he said as he held out his hand a massive sword appeared in his hand, his eyes glowing red.

"have you?" asked Zero who also took no stance "i must admit i have looked forward to this as well" he said as he signalled Cypren to stay back.

Zero side stepped having fallen for Graves false attack and slashed his massive sword (think final fantasy 7's cloud xp ) horizontally towards Graves chest and shoulders
