Welcome to Gaia! ::

This was all slowly becoming somewhat complicated, and Danielle wasn't sure of her stand in the matter. Her friend seemed to want the angel to stay, even though she'd been, as Dani had thought, cruel and even on a certain level, rude almost to them, as well as being prejudice against the other beings she was near.

Snow began falling and Dani knew immediatly that things were going to get bad weather-wise. The snow was falling in thick, large flakes, at a rapid pace, quickly coating the frozen ground and themselves, in a blanket of white. In only minutes the thick layer of snow had covered their ankles. Danielle had been shivering for quite awhile, but now her teeth had begun to chatter as well. Her ankles were starting to go numb, as were her fingers and nose. She hated the cold... It used to be her favorite season, but now it means rough times and freezing nights for the homeless demon.

All of a sudden a warm breeze passed her frozen form, causing her to slowly draw in a shakey breath. The air hugged her like a good friend, giving her warmth that she hadn't felt in a very long time. The snow at her feet melted quickly, leaving a large puddle in it's wake, and the snow turned to rain that pattered gently on her and the area around them. Danielle loved the rain, that was for sure. It brought a small smile to her face, upturned by then, to recieve the rain on her cheeks, once flushed with cold, having now returned to their normal pale complexion.

She looked over when inquiries were made about names of those in their small party. The others gave their names and Danielle quietly spoke up next.

"My name is Danielle, but you can call me Dani if you want." She smiled shyly. For some reason, it felt good to share her name with them. With that simple, innocent gesture she felt as if she'd just made friends with the two. This made her happy, and she hadn't been happy in a very long time. She didn't want to be alone anymore...

((I'm SOOOOO sorry I havn't posted in like, Forever! I went to the beach and I was trying to get in last posts everywhere and I missed here and when I got to it we had to leave! --whimper whimper-- --sob sob-- I'm sorry... This post is pathetic too... Not worthy of making amends for my stupidity... --gloom--))

Zion considered. He normally wouldn't bother to eat much surviving on energy. But It would be a change. Change was something he had been lacking recently. "I beleive that I will. I haven't eaten food in a long time." A couple decades any ways. Not that long but long enough to make it interesting again.

Danielle smiled, glad that he company was growing. She enjoyed being around people, and she hadn't had much human interaction in a very long time.

She looked up at Penelope and followed her, glancing at the demon behind them with a smile as if asking him to come along.

Danielle couldn't wait to arrive at the bar. The bar itself was a tad intimidating, but her tired mind was focused on a warm meal to fill her growling belly. She wondered breifly what sorts of food was served at bars, but figured she'd find out when she got there.

((You think you posted late? I was the second person to be added to the character list... Of course, me thinking I applied for the one in a different guild might have something to do about it, then needing to get in and stuff.. But don't fret, I'm here now and I hope to catch on the greatest part of what happened soon.))

As Mareshin got closer to the towering high deep red flames in the darkness, he would see more and more mortals. Dead, alive or something in between. Yet he pressed on, it was the flames where he needed to be, where he wanted to be.

Suddenly a white flame appeared, faint almost ethereal. Close to it where more flames that weren't supposed to be there, a grey flame, slowly turning more and more black, a black flame, but there was some sort of grey aura around it and a colorless flame. Whatever they where, they made it impossible for Mareshin to press further, every step he took made the flames go with him and push back his goal.

Mareshin opened his eyes and stood up, while his eyes still adjusted to the light, faintly as it was during the night. Even the moon was gone, hidden behind a cloud, which poured snow on the earth.

Standing on the top of a high office building one would guess that his presence would even be noticed by mortals, but as long as he was in meditation, no mortal should be able to see him, now, however, he was no longer in meditation and visible for anyone who looked up towards him.

'Now where are they?'

It didn't took long before he felt the presence of what had disturbed him from unlocking more of his fathers power. A faint presence of an angel was still there, something odd, neither angel nor demon, yet it was becoming demonic, a demon and something else.. It belonged in heaven but certainly wasn't an angel.

"Well, I should welcome the guests of the other planes."

Mareshin turned around, his ragged cape flowing through the air, as he walked out of the sight of anyone on the ground. He opened the door that led in the building yet instead of revealing the interior, a portal of flames and stone emerged behind the door, it would take him near his guests. And as he stepped through Mareshin thought if, since he was no longer in meditation, his presence was already felt.

'Wait for me.'

He said in his mind, with the idea of so many strong entities in one place and blood lust.

(( Well, this was my first post, sorry for being late, but I couldn't help it. ))

Zion stopped. He half turned feeling something watching him. Zion felt it but what ever it was didn't allow itself to be identified. He felt a wift of what it was. Demonic. Zion released his controll on the weather allowing his black wing to shrink and his white wing to grow again. Then the being released what ever cloak it had used to prevent it from being sensed. Zion stiffened. It was Mareshin 'The Wasteful. Zion had never met the demon before but had heard about him. Suposedly one of the strongest demons in hell. Zion smiled. Such a powerful being he thought. His energy had returned to being half angelic and half demonic. The best combination for a fight with any being. Also it made him harder to read. "What should we do?" He asked woundering if any of the others knew more then him, about Mareshin.

Danielle glanced between her two friends curiously. She was still young, and quite uneducated on the happenings and major people in the community. She rarely interacted with other people, and was therefore never really 'in the know.'

Who was it that they were talking about? Why did they both seem worried about the approaching presance?

Dani decided not to say anything. She felt akward, like she shouldn't speak, and chose to just wait until this being arrived. She'd find out then, obviously, so why bother her friends with questions?

Penelope saw Zion ready himself for Mareshin with his wings growing in power. He summoned an illuminated sword, very long in length. It was an ability of an angel to do create such a thing but he was definately not an angel. Still, Penelope did not know what he was, but she felt completely calm by his and Dani's side.

"Dani, ready yourself for the worst. This is the most powerful demon on scorched earth that he created. He's known for his merciless killings and cruelty," Penelope said hoarsely.

The grim reaper's arm faded into a shadow and pulled out a jagged, acute scythe that was much taller than Penelope. She held it firmly with her petite hand and she moved herself in a defensive position. She needed to be ready for anything he might pull.
