Rowena Cross  ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬⋙ xxxRowena listened carefully to all that he said, taking in each word and seeing what she could say back to it that would amuse her or at least pique her interest even more then it already was. When he had finished, Rowena merely looked at him for a second before she laughed in that cold way of hers. "Pretty little speech there, very noble Lunar. But I must ask, if I chose to slowly, and I do mean slowly, kill you, cutting your skin bit by bit. Breaking bones, starting with smaller ones and working my way up. I just have to wonder, would you then change your mind in the middle of that little session? I've tortured people before that said they had such a high endurance for pain and let's just say. . . they were begging for my mercy when I was having my fun with them. Who's to say you'd be any different? That you wouldn't be doing the very same thing, begging me to kill someone else but spare your life," she told him, arching one perfectly shaped eyebrow. "Self sacrifice only goes but so far, I've seen it myself," she murmured, showing a slight amount of emotion in that last bit before it quickly disappeared.
xxxRowena reached down and picked up his staff. . . and immediatly dropped it again when pain shot through her hand at having touched the thing. Her eyes tightened slightly, but she made no sound that it had hurt, she just shook out her hand, the only indication that it had caused her any pain at all. "I don't think your staff likes me very much, or let's say all the white magic its been used for doesn't. The staff itself has become tainted with it, should've known it would hurt me." She kicked it back in his direction, disgusted with the thing. White magic and demons just did not exist, they were of two completely different natures. "Besides, I'd leave the city when I chose to leave the city, not just because you were dumb enough to sacrifice yourself for it and the filthy creatures it holds," she said harshly.

 "So, with all the chances you've had to kill me in the past why haven,t you?" he asked.
He kicked his staff off the ground and cought it, in mid-air.
He could already guess the answer, but if she wasn't going to take exchange.
Then he wasn't about to give his life in vain, if he was to die here, he'd go out fighting.
"But why are you targeting me?" he asked, he wasnt in dismay, he was curius, despite his battle ready stance.
His nature wasn't voilent, and to raise his weapon against another being, killed him inside.
No matter how much black mage was in him, his true nature was as a white mage

Rowena Cross ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬⋙ xxx"Hm, why haven't I killed you" she said, lightly tapping her index finger to her chin in mock thought. After a few seconds she merely shrugged and said, "Timing wasn't right and I've had an awfully lot of fun with keeping you alive for a little bit. My patentience with you is running thin; however, so if you still have a will to make, I really hope you finish it soon." She gave a small, chilling laugh but it was very short. She watched him carefully as he got into fighitng stance, a small smile played across Rowena's lips as she saw this, yet still, she remained in her relaxed stance. "I'm targeting you because you will be a challenge to kill. Humans pose no challenge to me with their weak amount of strength, even the guns and knives they've used against me don't do much damage to me in the long run. There is no challenge with them, but with you Mr. Lunar, there is a challenge in killing you that I just cannot resist." She gave him a large smile as she asked him sarcastically, "Don't you feel lucky that you're the one I targeted?"
xxxRowena turned around her, her back facing him but she kept an eye on him, not stupid enough to let him out of her sights. She motioned to the town that was before her with both her hands. "This town, while it's a large one, I could cause a certain amount of destruction to it before you stopped me. Tell me, why do you hold this city so precious to you? Why make the offer to sacrifice yourself for this one, but not care about the countless others I'll reek my havoc on?" she asked him, turning back around to face him once more.

Lunar hadn't thought about why, he just knew he didn't want her near the city.
Finnaly the confusion left his eyes.
"In this day and age, a single person; no matter how stronge, can't hope to make a diffrence" lunar said, his eyes soft, yet still vicouse.
"But i can still protect those i see around me, and right now; before me i see this city." he said, keeping his composure.
"Even if my life's at stake; or the price, i'll protect what i can see" he said.
Lunar had nobody, no children, girlfreind, or family, what drove him to protect all these people.
He wasn't sure he knew himself

Rowena Cross ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬⋙ xxxRowena listened to what he had to say in response to her question. She cocked her head to the side and gave him a little grin as she said, "Everything you say, it's so good and pure. So selfless of you, sacrifice yourself, die fighting for it, blah blah blah. It almost makes me ashamed to have to kill you. . . well no, it doesn't really." She shrugged her shoulders and walked to where she was beside him only a few feet seperating them.
xxxRowena inclined her head towards the direction of the city, particurlary to where a woman was walking down the street. She gave him a lazy grin as she used her telekinesis to pull the dagger from it's sheath that was strapped around her leg. She made it twist in the air in front of her, it's medal surface gleaming in the sun. "Now tell me Lunar, can your magic bring somebody back from the dead?" she asked, as she let her wicked little smile grow and her eyes started to turn a terrible shade of red.

Lunar thought for a long moment of how to respond.
Finnaly he answerd, "Yes, it can actually"
He nodded at her, and lowerd his staff.
"From the looks of things, you hate humans, but judgeing from your apperence, you've still got a bit of human in you" he said, anaylzing her.
"Something tells me, you've had someone important to you taken." he concluded.
"And that you blame any living thing for it" he said finnaly.
he got on one knee and bowed his head.
"If i can atleast lighten your burden, then i'll happily give my life to you" he said.
And there he stood, head lowerd to his opponet, his life on the line.

Rowena Cross ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬⋙ xxxRowena pressed her lips together into a hard line as she heard what he said. She kept her dagger floating in the air, but turned her gaze onto Lunar, giving him a glare. "Make no mistake, Mage, you're starting to piss me off. Don't try to guess things about me. Don't try to get to know me. Do not try to reason with me and for christ's sake would you stop being so damn noble," she practically shouted at him, her anger coming from the things she was remembering from her past. Particulary the night that her very good friend Gavin died. She remembered hunting down that angel in a blind rage and killing the thing, stabbing it over and over with Gavins blade, even when it was well past dead. The dagger that was now floating in the air was the one she used, she could almost imagine the blood of the angel still dripping from the blade. How the smell of angelic blood had made her sick, and how hard she had taken Gavin's death.
xxxRowena quickly shook her head, realizing that while she was so caught up in her past that she'd been simply staring at a section of ground. She barely registered the last thing that Lunar had said, she glanced down at him. Bowed like that, not even looking at her made her seeth in anger. She knelt down in front of him and harshly grabbed him under the neck, wrapping her fingers tightly around his throat, digging her nails into his neck slightly. She jerked him towards her slightly so her red tinged eyes were staring directly into his own eyes. "You just don't get it do you? I want a challenge. I want you to fight me. You just bowing here before me, posing no threat to me whatsoever, are no challenge. I. Want. You. To. Fight. Me. It is no fun to me if you don't," she hissed into his face. She refused to kill someone who would not fight her back, she refused to kill someone when they weren't even looking at her. She was determined to make him fighter her, some how some way, she would accomplish this whether it drive her crazy trying.

That was it.
He'd had enough, he wasn't just going to sit here anylonger, he couldn't just sit here anylonger.
"i've tried reason, i've treid understanding" he said, chocking out the words one by one.
"Now i'm gonna bury you!" he flashed to life, from a squirming existence to a full fledged killer.
"And for the last time, my name's not mage!" In a blur of movement, he angled his staff under her chin, and slammed his hand into, smashing the staff into her chin, with enough force that it would've broken any humans neck.
It wouldn't really hurt her, but it was enough to force her grip loose enough for him to escape.
"It's Lunar!" he said
He took a step back, all hesistation was gone from his eyes, his normal light grey eyese were replaced with yellow sinister eyes.
"You've just brought hell's wrath upon you" he said, his arms lighting in a form of icepower.
And electricty coursed through his left arm.
He pulled his hands back and slammed his knuckles together; sending a shockwave of magic at her.
But even so, he didn't want to hurt her, his gental nature won't allow him, so he wasn't trying to do more then knock her unchonchess

Rowena Cross  ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬⋙ xxxA small smirk of satisfaction slowly spread across Rowena's face as she saw that she had finally jerked a reaction out of him. She groaned slightly in pain when she felt his staff jerk into the skin and bone underneath of her chin. She stood up and took a few steps back, lightly rubbing the spot that he had hit her in. She clucked her tongue and said, "Awfully touchy about your name aren't you? If you want to make it fair you can call me Demon, make it even that way. Only difference is, I don't care what I'm called unlike you do. . . Mage." She gave a low chuckle, couldn't resisting adding that very last bit.
xxxRowena watched as he started to wheel his next set of magic at her. She laughed at what he said, as she replied bitterly saying, "Hell's wrath has been upon me for years, you'll only add a tiny bit more then I am already used to I'm sure." Seeing that he was going to throw some sort of magic at her at that moment, she quickly changed into her demonic form, her nails now more like small talons and her eyes a coal black color. She dashed to her left hastly, only catching a small amount of the electricity that he threw at her in which she winced at as it coursed through her body for a minute.
xxxRowena thought that he was holding back a little, but for now she let it slide, glad that she revoked any sort of reaction in him at all. She was starting to think that it was all hopless there for a minute. Rowena stood her ground, lifting her hand, her palm facing him. A sudden burst of fire encircled around where he stood, it was no normal fire; however, it was hell fire. A hard fire to get rid of except for the person that summoned it. She twisted her hand slightly, and for each little tiny twist she made, the circle of fire would get tighter and tighter around him; threatening to engulf him in its flames. She stood watch, wondering what he might do to stop it.

"Humans may not be all that strong"
He said getting engulfed by the hellfire.
"But tell me, do you know what happens when fire meets a lower pressure system?" he said from within the inferno.
"White mage level 2, aero" suddenly the flames danced directly onto the staff, and remained there.
"And theres a good chance i'll die here, and if i do" he started.
He dragged his staff along the ground sending the fire at her.
But before it left he froze it, but it was still burning.
"I don't wanna be rememberd as mage!" the frozen fire lurched at her, no longer hell fire, but something else, something more.
"Icefire, a personnal invintion of mine" he chimed.
Still, his body was synched, his clothes tatterd, his end burnt.
And now his staff was damaged, to much longer and it would break

Rowena Cross ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬⋙ xxxRowena watched him as he spoke and looked at the hell fire as it turned into ice. She tilted her head to the side as she watched out how it still remained burning but simply like burning ice. Interesting, Rowena thought to herself as she used more hell fire that she quickly summoned to counteract the icefire. Even though she'd done it quickly, a small bit of the ice fire had managed to lick up her leg for a short time, leaving it very cold and almost numb feeling, giving her a slight limp when she walked.
xxxWhen Rowena was certain that she had gotten rid of the problem at hand, she waved her hand once and watched as the hell fire disappeared, seeping down through the ground and going back to where it belonged. She slowly walked towards Lunar, her once predator type of walk slightly marred by her limp. She didn't care to look down at her leg and see the extent of the damage yet, she had no wish to. When she was only a couple feet away from him, she leaped into the air, gliding on her wings the rest of the way towards him. While her tattered wings would not allow her to fly, they did allow her to glide short distances.
xxxUpon reaching him, Rowena flicked her hand out towards him, gripping his shoulder as she intended to cause him pain. He would feel it in the pit of his stomach first, then it would slowly and painfully begin to spread. "Does it really matter all that much what I'll remember you as? I'm sure that other people you might've met will remember you as Lunar," she said, as she shook at her leg once as she felt as if it were cramping up with the results of the icefire. "Lovely isn't?" she said in referring to the pain he would feel. "How it works is also quite amazing if I do say so myself. You're not actually in pain, your mind just thinks you are so you feel it. And right now, I'm making it feel as if there was a knife inside you, slowly cutting up the bits inside of you. Beauty of it is, it's not really happening, it won't hurt you physically in the slightest. You'll just be wishing that you died from it if I let it continue."

Feeling the pain ashoot in his shoulder lunar winced.
"A fine illusion, but you haven't done your homework" he said, he ignored the pain in his shoulder.
With a lashful move, he grabbed onto her spear, and slammed his head into hers, a bit of the move was absorbed through the hat.
Once the pain subsided in his shoulder, he knew that it wouldnt hinder his battle.
"Anyone who's ever been in battle knows how to tolerate pain, which is why i'm fighting for those worthless creaters as you call them" lunar growled raising his staff high.
"Because the many people here know no combat, but are doing their best to live, which is why even at the cost of life, i will stop you!" lunar said his staff still raised
"Black magic level nine blizzaja!" the air around them condensed and hardended until four pillars of pure ice raced at her from diffrent directions.
But if he were fighting as a full fldged black mage, it would be three times as strong as it is now, now matter how angry; he couldn't bring himself to want to kill her.

Rowena Cross ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬⋙ xxxRowena lowered her head when she realized that he was going to slam his own into hers so that it would hit the top of her head towards the front rather then her forehead. She winced as his head made contact with her own and shook her head for half a second before she stepped back a little. Hearing what he had to say, Rowena merely looked at him and said, "While I agree with you that people who know battle have a high tolerance for pain, I'm sure we all have a breaking point sometime even if we cannot see it ourselves." What she said she felt was true, while she herself felt as if she had no breaking point whatsoever, she was sure that if she was in extreme pain for a very long amount of time, then she would give in eventually. It wasn't like she was planning on finding that out anytime soon of course, and especially not at the hands of Lunar. Hearing what he said about the people knowing no combat and the other little bit he said after that, Rowena laughed with bitter humor. "Believe it or not, I used to do my best to live as well. To eek out an existence amoung this human population but people noticed that I was different, people shunned me and kept their distance. They brought my wrath upon themselves, if only they had known that I too used to be human like them then maybe they would've changed their attitudes towards me; accepted me a little more. I was not asking for friendship, I was simply asking for cooperation and a peaceful co-existence, and they couldn't even give me that. I have a whole lonely existence laid out before me. I'm pushing 300 years old, take a step in my shoes Mr. Lunar and see how it feels to be completely and totally uncared for and have the only thing that meant anything to you ripped away. You might be just the same as I am right now," she said harshly to him as she prepared for his next attack.
xxxRowena looked around her at the four pillars of ice racing towards the spot that she stood. Rowena briefly glanced back at him ad simply shook her head at him. She tensed her legs, preparing herself to jump at the correct time that she needed. Pausing only a second more, she beat her tattered wings once and jumped into the air, getting the left she needed briefly for the four pillars of ice to smash into themselves, sending them breaking into a thousand little shards of ice. When her feet touched back down on the ice covered ground again after her jump, she looked at all the ice around her. "Black magic, huh? Such a naughty boy you are for using that," she said with a cold laugh in his direction.
xxxRowena raised both her hands up into the ar at her sides, palms facing upwards. As she did this, the thousand of pieces of ice all in varying degrees of shapes and sizes, floated into the air. "Let's see how well you do when your own magic is turned against you," she said with a little smirk as she sent the shards of ice at him at a very quick speed.

Goren the hedgehog Lunar bit his lip.
He seemed to be considering something, then he lifted his head, his yellow eyes back to the cloudy gray.
"White mage level 2. Aero" he held out his staff and let the staff whirl into a frendzy, creating a small vortex, knocking aside the ice shards.
"If thats the case, the rowena, this is my hand of friendship to you" lunar offerd
He knew it was stupid, and that it sounded like some cheesy 1930's movie.
But he was seriesly offering.
"stop this useless killings, you may show no remores but everylife you've taken has eaten at you little by little" he said.
"Stop before you're completly comsumed" he pleded

Rowena Cross ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬⋙ xxxRowena narrowed her eyes at him and the offer that he had made to her. Instead of the coal black color that her eyes often became in the heat of battle, they cooled into a very peircing blue color, it was the color that her eyes were normally when they weren't changing with her mood. Friendship? Is he serious? Is he really offering to be my friend? Rowena thought to herself, a frown turning down the corner of her lips as she tried to figure out his reason behind it. Maybe he'sjust saying this to get to me, to make me think that I can trust him. Maybe this is his plan to kill me, for me to trust him then he to stab me in the back. . . literally, Rowena added to her previou thoughts, always having to twist everything anyone says into some way that it might be used as a battle strategy of some sort to kill her. "How do I know this is not a trick?" she said to him, her eyes turning black again.
xxxFor the moment, Rowena seemed content to not attack him, but her decision not to could change in just a second. She was too on edge right now for her emotions to be stable, the lust for killing was still strong in her, but for the moment she was fighting it. She twisted Gavin's dagger over and over between her fingers to keep herself entertained, twisting it faster with each passing minute. "How do you know that I'm not already completely consumed anyway Mr. Lunar? Demons even shy away from me now, I'm pretty sure that means I'm pretty screwed up right now. Maybe even beyond repair," she said with a shrug, uncaring of her current state that she was in. This is what her life had become and she excepted that fact.
