-offers my hand to you with a smile-

-offers you a handkerchief from my cloak's front pocket and wraps my arms around you in a comforting manner-
I'm sorry. I.... Didn't mean to make you relive that pain.....
If there's anything I can do to help relieve the pain, just tell me.
-holds you close to me in my arms-
I won't ever abandon you. I swear that we will find your family.

-holds you close to me but sits by your side-
Well. Before all this craziness started, I lived with my mother in a city far to the east of here. You already know about my father.
My powers began to manifest when I was about 5, but the virus was there from the start.
We lived happily with everyone else until one day when I was about 9.
One of my friends was out playing when the ground suddenly gave way beneath him. The fall shattered his leg, and I had to use magic to save him. After he realized what had happened, he started screaming for help and calling me a monster.
Others did hear. And monster hunters took me back to my home, where they killed my mother right in front of me.
-Zarak is shaking with rage, but manages to calm himself-
After that, I just lost control. When I came to, everyone in the city had either fled or was killed.
So, I did the only thing I could.
I ran.
I ran until I passed out on the outskirts of a small farming village far from my home city.
I was discovered by a girl about my age. Her name was Sayuri, and we quickly became friends.
I earned my keep in the village through manual labor, continuing my friendship with Sayuri.
As you might expect, that friendship blossomed into romance, then true love.
We got married when I was 19, but she never knew what I really was.
Until tragedy struck yet again.
At this time, it was about a year later, and Sayuri was pregnant.
But, one of the villagers had gone up to the mountains and was badly injured. I, again, had to use magic.
Same result.
I was captured by a monster hunter in the village at the time.
They brought Sayuri in front of me, and I knew what was coming.
They killed her and soaked me in her blood.
At that point, I figured they would kill me, too.
But they had other plans.
Recently, the humans had developed a restraining collar system, similar in appearance to a dog's leash and collar.
This system only let me use my powers, passive or active, at the will of the holder. Furthermore, I had no control over the usage or direction of my powers, and no control over my physical body.
This collar had miraculously managed to restrain the virus, but at the cost of my freedom.
I was used like a tracking animal, used to hunt down mythical creatures. When my eyesight was discovered, I was run ragged trying to find mythical creatures. I was beaten and whipped like a dog if I didn't find anyone in a certain amount of time.
They would further punish me by removing my sight via the collar, and throwing me into a maze.
For a whole year, I was enslaved, until a compassionate human gave his life freeing mine.
So I ran again, weakened, until I ran into you guys.
That's about it.
-Zarak is trembling with anger, sadness, and regret-
That's my story.

OOC: Sorry.

"Usstan orn naut fre'sla whol nindol! Ka dos zhahen naut jal'yur elghinyrr, Usstan orn'la elgg dos h'uena mzild!"
Finnian had taken to shouting profanities in other languages to the ghost, such was his rage that the mansion looked much like swiss-cheese due to missing his target so much.

"Z'lonzic! I've had enough of your mockery!"
And with that, he stomped off into the wilderness.

Didn't realize you spoke elvish so fluently.
Not now, jackass, I have a migraine, Too many fireballs thrown.

"Damn ghosts... Stupid warlocks...! If it were up to me, I'd... I would... What's this?"
Dead bodies littered the forest floor. From the looks of things, they were crushed by tree roots.
"Dead. Not big surprise. Ah well, they won't need anything in their packs anymore."

And so, like a scavenger, the Kitsune began searching through their pouches and rucksacks. They didn't carry much, just food, water, and hunting gear.
From the looks of things, they might have had a dog. There was a collar among their gear, complete with leash, Finnian's pendant glowed ever so slightly upon coming close to it, signifying that it was enchanted. How so, Finnian didn't know, but he took it nonetheless.

-Zarak's throat begins to become red and irritated-
Wha- No! Can't be!
-Zarak's eyes widen in horror-
The collar! No!
-starts thinking to himself-
*calm down. Think through what you know of it.*
*the collar seeks out a mythical creature to attach to, and then binds itself to said mythical creature, almost as if it had a mind of it's own*
This burning. Someone else has been bonded to that collar. But that means....
Aqua! We have to go now! Someone could be in grave danger!
-grabs Aqua's hand and dematerializes-
*ok. How can it be rendered harmless....*
-begins preparing a spell for instantaneous discharge, just in case-
Oh great earth, foundation of all life, hear my plea. Come forth and purge this..........

OOC: instantaneous discharge means that Zarak prepares to cast the spell, but holds the magic in a specific way, such that if he is cut off from magic, the spell immediately discharges on Zarak's intended target.

OOC: Hmm... All this attention I'm starting to get... I suppose I'll just make Finnian do one of the absolute dumbest things possible at the moment.


IC: "Hmm... This thing is quite odd. It's of quite high quality, perfect in every way. Hell, it's even blue. I like blue... Blue is a good color..."
Why don't you wear it, then?

The Kitsune shook his head.
"No way. Who knows what kind of enchantment this thing- GERK!"
HOLY HELL!

Unexpectedly, while inspecting the collar, it had come to life, wrapping around Finnian's neck trying to choke him.
What the hell is going on?!
He felt something gnawing on his mind, breaking into his thoughts and attempting to bring him to a submissive state.
Nonononono! My mind is my own, you can't have it!

Try as he might, though, Finnian could not tear off the collar, and found his struggles becoming weaker and weaker from lack of air and fading will.
My... Mind... is...
Pathetic. Let me try, I'll show you how it's done.
No! Remember what happened last time I...
Fine, be a vegetable.

Damn it, he was right. Only that could have a chance right now. With difficulty, he managed to grasp his pendant.
"Ku'lam, ussta errdegahr"
As he spoke the words, the sapphire pendant turned to ruby, glowing crimson.

I thought you'd come around eventually...
At the same time, Finnian's eyes changed to their orange color, a sign that personalities had shifted. Something was very different though.
With a *POP!*, Finnian's tail split into five fluffy fox tails, all with the same proportions as the original.
Now... To get this troublesome thing off. Ah! There it goes. See how easy that was?

With little difficulty, the Kitsune stood up, and tore the collar away from his throat, and it then proceeded to light up in blue flame, which was the point Finnian tossed the cursed thing on the ground, watching it burn away.
"Absolutely Pathetic. THAT'S how you resist mental influence. Take notes, my alter ego, take notes..."


OOC: Finnian's pendant is designed to keep the other personality from taking control. Other than that, It can only detect enchantments. It must be recharged every month, though. this is done by draining magical power from Kitsunes. A simple incantation can deactivate the enchantment. Deactivating releases the energy stored. Breaking it makes the release more violent.
And about the tails. Basically, the tails are a sign of power among Kitsunes. More tails = More power, most of the time. Nine is the maximum. One is the absolute weakest.

*These violences , these insane powers .... *

-WHO ... IS ... BOTHERING .... MY .... SLUMBER !?!?!

* And then .... A mysterious appearance is makeing his debut , surrounded in black fog ... A mad worrior finds from his slumber... Screaming ferocious .... Like a predetor looking for his next prey ... He is looking in every direction and saw you guys *


-ANSWERE CREATURES !!!!!

OOC: Saw who, now? There's three possibilities, there. Because I'm assuming Zarak and Aqua are heading to my position, I'm just going to assume you saw Finnian. Would be the most interesting in my opinion, considering the power trip he's going through.
Also: *Unknown* *Answer* And Other errors. my inner Grammar nazi disapproves.

IC: "Ooh! Sounds like my first victim! Oh goody, I didn't know I'd get the chance to fight so quickly!" The Mad Kitsune's ears perked upon hearing the rather loud voice demanding an answer, and he simply could not resist the thought of bloodshed. He rushed off with delight visible in his face, and quickly found a man, fully covered in black armor. "D'aww... It's a boring tin can! Don't like those, too hard to make them bleed." Finnian seemed to remember himself and began speaking properly, to the knight rather than himself. "Who disturbs your slumber, oh great tin can? Hehe, that would be me. If you don't mind, I will put you back to sleep... In the ground... In little teeny pieces."

To back up his threat, the Kitsune put his fists in front of him, smirking as the blue Fox-Flames appeared on his hands.
With a flash, six indentical kitsunes appeared where he just stood. It would be next to impossible to pick out the real one without magical means.

"That is, if there's any pieces left to bury. I do get carried away, you know..."

As the knight saw his first combat multiplyed , he starts to laugh , creepy and loud


-MUHAHAHA !!!


*At that time , the black fog starts to extends to the enemy and immersed him in a deep dark , the visibility decreases .*
* And then , a sound was heard , like a gunshot *
*Then the sound was heard several times ... and after , like some traps were removed *
... What happened ? What are the knight and the demon doing ?


The fog vanished . There was just one demon left , but where is the knight now ?

-Zarak arrives on the scene-
Well. This is... New. Guess the collar was weakened after all this time. Now, onto the point at hand.
-walks straight up to the real Finnian and immediately traps him up to his neck in solid rock-
You blasted IDIOT!
You're lucky that collar was weakened, or you wouldn't have been able to do a damned thing until I or, God forbid, a human showed up.
No matter how strong or willful you are, you'd stand no chance against a fresh collar.
-points towards the Black Knight without looking at him-
You! I don't know who you are, but as long as you mean no harm, I've no problem with you being here.
-turns back to Finnian-
Now, I'm going to release you, but I'd better never see you do anything that stupid again!
-releases Finnian and looks towards the sky-
Still could make it.
Aqua, sorry about all the jumping around.
Now then.
-quickly grabs hold of Aqua's hand and dematerializes, quickly rushing back towards the cabin-

"Sings while he goes to the others"
Hmm..cause you know I'm just a sucker for the sounds of...Hmm?
"Notices six kitsunes and they all have orange eyes"
"Followed by a knight across from him in battle stance"
"I walk in between the two heading towards Aqua and Zarak"
Excuse me just going to hang out with Aqua and Zarak so don't wait up on me!
"Looks straight into the Kitsunes eyes"
Don't come after me otherwise if you do I might kill you...orange eyes!
"Whistles while walking in the snow hearing the crunch beneath his feet"

"Weakened? Nonsense! Nothing can break me, you idiotic half-human! In fact..." The instant he was released, the Kitsune lunged after what was, in his mind, a worthless spawn of a human, only to find him turned to dust and flying away. "Oi! Get back here, I only want to kill you a little bit! Damn!"

He didn't even notice the ghost walking away, and if he did, he didn't show any sign. Now his attention was on the knight, who had shrouded him in darkness. "Knighty, please, you're no good at this." With a wave, he held out a blue fireball, using it like a lantern to chase away the dark. Once the darkness had faded, he was left with only one demon. [OOC: What kind? Specify, please, I never saw anything about a demon.] "The great tin can ran away? AAAAHAHA! This is rich! Sir tin can ran away, from a little cute Kitsune! Priceless! Hee!" The Kitsune didn't pay any attention to the demon, too busy with his less than sane laughter.

-returns to the cabin and rematerializes-
Aaaah. Sweet calm.
-turns to Aqua-
Sorry about the interruptions.
-hands her another cup of tea and leads her back outside-
-looks up-
Ah! It's starting!
-in the sky, there is a massive aurora borealis, or Northern Lights-
-as this light is flashing, a meteor shower flys by overhead, except that each meteor appears in a different color of the visible spectrum, some red, others green or blue, etc-
This was what I wanted to show you. It only happens once every ten years, in this area.

"I come up over the hill to see Aqua and Zarak looking up drinking some tea"
Why hello there Warlock and Elf how are you!
"Trips and slides down the hill running straight into the cabin wall"
"Talks with face still in the cabin wall"
What are you doing here...

-stares wide-eyed at Nato-
You- but- how-
-regains my composure-
This place is hundreds of miles from home. How did you get here so quickly?

The time has come to make the appearance again.....


The knight uproot a tree nearbuy .... and turns it in a flying vehical ... And then , he fly in the sky searching for new combats



- Jezz , that demon .... Kitsunes , it was really boring . But who was that creature who staned between us...


Flys a little longer ...


- What 's there ? I guess that half -human might be there ... Let's give him a test , it may be the perfect combat


The knight saw a little light coming from a cabin of a buliding nearbuy . The vehical turns red , shining just like a meteor , prepering to crush to the Earth . With a busted speed she is approaching the bulding and land right in front of that cabins window .

* the knight goes out of the vehical , grab a little stone on the ground and turns it in a black sword *
(Talk loud and creepy)- Creatures from the building !!!! I have no intentions to kill everyone in the bulding .... if somebody dears to chalege me in a fight of course . But if nobody chalege me , it may end up with the destroction of the whole place.


- SO WHO DERAS TO CHALEGE ME !?!?!

OH FOR THE LOVE OF CRAP!
-storms out of the building and uses the vines from the subterranean garden to drag the knight down to eye level-
Can I not watch a celestial event in peace?
This better be pretty damned important, because this makes it THREE times we've been interrupted!
If you want a challenge, wait until later. If you want to talk, save it for later.
-I'm obviously furious at these interruptions-
If no one's life is at stake, you'd better just leave me alone and let me watch this meteor shower with this beautiful girl.
Well? What is it?

OOC: autocorrect is kickin my butt.....
