Wizards and Warriors RP

Kor did not look happy. At all. The look of sheer annoyance on his face was almost comical.
Not only was he stuck in bed for who knows how long, due to "natural recovery" reasons, but he couldn't even try to escape.

Why? The healer had done some kind of spell that made the bedsheets hold him in place every time he tried to get up.
Sahrah's antics didn't help much either, despite her good intentions. By the time the kitten arrived on the scene, one of his eyes seemed strangely twitchy. Maybe it was the fact she'd been the main cause of his capture.

There was nothing else to say, though, he'd already accused her of being evil during that fiasco.

"He's over there, fifth bed on the right." Kor barely heard the healer's voice say.
"Thanks." Said another, that he didn't really recognize.

Now, imagine his surprise, and annoyance, when the nine-foot tall Izma came into view.
Said giantess scratched the back of her head sheepishly as the half-demon glared a burning glare at her.
"So. Um... S-sorry about this. Didn't realize things would turn out this way. I thought the arena thingy would... You know, Heal."

------------------------------

Arratay didn't resist, nor did he even twitch in the slightest upon being put in his *Ahem!* predicament.
The only people who didn't look even slightly amused were Rye and Magnus.

While Magnus had his well-known stony expression, only Rye looked even remotely annoyed.

Lilith: *nod and soon they were on their way through the Academy to Olcan's (Ooc: new name cause I can't remember his previous name -.-) room followed by surprised glares and whispers, mainly towards Zarak as they approached* I apologise. These people just don't know how to mind their own business if only for a moment. *the surroundings suddenly became quite dark and quiet until he reached massive wooden door and two butler-like guards standing in front that face them at once growling under their breath towards Zarak and Poofers. Speak calmly and with cold expression* Gentlemen *bow down lightly* I came to see Olcan.
Butler I: *nod* We know you did, Lady Lilith. However, what is the meaning of this, of...him? *another piercing gaze was addressed to Zarak*
Lilith: *nod* He is with me. His presence is required.
Butler II: *frown* I don't recall Count saying anything about Son of Light being present.
Lilith: *roll eyes and sight annoyed* It is the new era, we all attend this Academy together, and yet no one has been slain. *smirk* Besides, please. What makes you think he would agree to come along and face a bunch of bloodsuckers alone if he had any intention to cause trouble. *nod knowing it was a success once butlers looked at each other*
Butler II: *hesitate* Very well. Let them in. *turn around not caring any more*

Akuji: *nod* I agree, Count. *raise head and notice Lilith and Zarak* What?

Vlad: *chuckle leaning against the wall* Oh yes, this should be fun.

Lilith: *paying no attention, approach Olcan and bow down nodding to Zarak to do the same* Father. ( fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/201…e_by_leejun35-d4yl05p.jpg )

Olcan: *Glare at Lilith and Zarak not saying a word or returning greetings at fist* I see... *suddenly smile lightly with almost visibly fake smile and narrow his eyes* A company? And what kind indeed.

Lilith: *smirk straightening up* Just like that? No hello? No how are you my only daughter?

Olcan: *smirk not answering questions and refer to Zarak* I indeed never thought I will ran onto another one of your kind so soon. *sit in his chair calmly proceeding* May I know your name, young light user? *his eyes rested coldly on Zarak* Son of Light that dares to enter the beast layer by himself...now that is someone worth of remembering.

There was a tense silence as Izma found the floor to look very interesting.
"Well?" Said Kor, breaking the silence.

"Well what?"
"Why'd you come here? It couldn't have been just to apologize."
"Um... Well, you see, there was something I've been suspicious of since I first laid eyes on you..."

"And what's that, then?" Said the half-demon suspiciously.
"First off... We share some, er... Similarities, and I just wanted to ask..."
"Yes...?"
"Are you an Oni?"

Whatever question Tristam was expecting, it wasn't that one.
"A what?"
"Oni. Otherwise known as demons, devils, ogres or trolls. Ya want an example, just look at me."
"Well... I do have demon blood, but..."
"Yeah? What kind of demon, though?"
"I don't know. Never bothered to really find out."
"Well then, there you go."

...

"That's all you wanted to tell me?" Kor asked.
"Um... Yeah... Pretty much..."

*Meanwhile...*

"SYLPH! YOU GET YOUR BUTT OUT HERE RIGHT NOW!"
Salamander was not a happy fire spirit. Not by a long shot.

The instant everyone had left the arena, she'd taken to shouting out a certain wind-spirit's name.
"I KNOW YOU'RE HERE! I CAN SENSE YOUR PRESENCE FROM A MILE AWAY! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING, INTERFERING WITH AN ARENA BATTLE?!"

*Elsewhere...*

Arratay flinched visibly the first time he felt the gentle touch of the water spirit.
Unfortunately for her, that was the best result she'd get. The master general simply did not react to any further teasing.

"So. How long has Kria been gone?" He asked. "I mean, if she's gone longer than ten minutes, it must be serious."
"I'd give her five more." Said Tanis. "Then we'll go look for her."

Claira: "I love you as well, im so happy i get to be with you Ori!" she exclaims as she kisses him with just as much passion

Olcan: *chuckle ignoring Vlad rolling his eyes* How...interesting indeed. *come closer to Zarak and sniff him not too rudely* Mhm, why yes, interesting representative of your species. *stand up straight putting arms behind his back glaring at Zarak, still ignoring his daughter* Tell me, young Zarak. Whatever are you doing here? Don't you know how us..."bloodsuckers"...see your kind?

Belial: *wrap his arms around Liara and pull her closer keeping her warm with his body under the sheets* Hey you... *kiss her forehead and smile* Are you ok?

Lilith: *smirk, impressed by Zarak's bravery and squeeze back his hand while everyone else glared in shock, except for Akuji that smirked lightly and turned away but in an improving and discreet manner*

Vlad: *stop smoking his cigarette and glare* Wow, kid has guts. *chuckle and mumble for himself and another vampire that stood near* Too bad he will lack head soon enough. *both chuckled once more*

Olcan: *sigh and glare at Zarak coldly* I was hoping this was a strange and morbid joke, once Vlad told me what was going on around here. *cross arms now looking at Lilith who frowned almost instantly, but refer to Zarak* This what you have here is a pure blooded vampire that does not care. This here is a cold-hearted female bloodsucker with untamed craving for blood and passion and you... you choose her to be your wife? *chuckle returning his gaze to Zarak* My my, you are either a very self-esteemed and brave young man, or a specially stupid one. *frown a bit* You see what I am. I do not give away blessings. I can only tell you to do whatever you want. But don't come crying to me when she sucks you dry...or worse! *sigh and lower voice* Let me advise you something. Even if she for some weird reason really cares...

Lilith: *growl* I'm right here!

Olcan: *ignore* ...IF she really cares... You will be forever chased by those that disagree with this. A lot of those are just now in this room. *shrug* However, if you insist...I won't stop you. I don't really care.

Akuji: *frown madly, but stay silent*

Olcan: *to Zarak* So, young man... still standing by your words?

(Ooc: And there is a perfectly good reason why nobody attempted to rip both of their heads off. Finding out soon)

Lilith: *smile sincerely and accept Zarak's hand* Thank you.

Vlad: *roll eyes* Ugh, I think I'm going to puke...

Olcan: *notice Akuji's faint smile and frown encountering his glare with Akuji's defiant one* I see. *turn to Zarak* Oh, I wouldn't worry someone disagreeing now and here. They all know I don't like fuss around me. Besides, this is a decent place. No need for bloodshed. But remember this, both of you. *frown and glare at them with his piercing gaze* No matter what you do, your life will be a living hell. From this day on. You've been warned.

Lilith: *respond* Appreciate your concern...father. But we can handle it.

Olcan: *chuckle tauntingly* Ah my poor daughter. Still living in belief that life can be fair. Just like your mother did. And look what happened.

Lilith: *growl* Leave my mother out of this!

Olcan: *nod* Why of course, I do know you are quite...sensitive about that... Now, off you go. *turn around* I do not have to stand this sight any more. I always knew you would disappoint me someday. But never like this. *remember* Oh, however, I still expect to see quite a show in a tournament. That is the last thing you can do to make me feel like you're anywhere near my daughter.

Akuji: *respond calmly* Count, I believe they realised it. No need to...

Olcan: *interrupt* Realised it? Oh, I am sure they did. Hope they realise that with this they put even their future kids in lethal danger. *shrug and smirk* But, fine by me.

Akuji: *growl and remain silent*

Lilith: *sigh a refer to Zarak a bit shaky* Please...let's just go...

Olcan: *to Zarak* And yes, all these things considered... *evil smirk* You have my...blessing.

"NO! No excuses!" Salamander yelled, her flames glowing brighter and hotter, which also had the effect of making Sylph's flying take less effort. (Hot air rising and all that.)
"That was, for all intents and purposes, an official arena battle! You know the penalty for cheating, you're lucky it didn't recognize your magic! Do you know how embarrassing it would be if the warrior I chose as my summoner was accused of cheating?!"

The flaming spirit would be ripping out her hair if it wasn't just fire like the rest of her body.

-------------------------------------

"So..." Izma said awkwardly. "I'll just be going now..."
The giantess slowly started backing away. "Don't want to upset your girlfriend or anything."

"SHE IS NOT MY-" Tristam paused for half a second. "Oh, right, she is. Can't believe I forgot..."
He glanced at Sahrah with an unknown expression on his face.

"Right. Leaving you two alone, now."
And with that, Izma semi-hastily vacated the area.

With a heavy sigh, the half-demon let his head fall into his bed's pillow.

That was probably the most awkward and forced conversation I've ever took part in. When I get the chance, I'll look up this "Oni" crap for myself.

"Mao!" Meowed the kitten on his bedside table, pawing at his face. "Mao! Mao, Mao! Mew!"
Cue the annoyed eye-twitch.

-----------------------------------

"So did I." Arratay added to Undine's statement. "But since you're apparently done using me as a form of entertainment, we really should go look for Kria. She's usually quicker than this."
"Agreed." Said Magnus. "If something has managed to harm her..."

"What?!" Rye shouted suddenly. "Could something really hurt someone of her level of power?!"
"That's a really odd reaction you got there, kid." Said the master general, smirking. "But really, ya gotta expect the worst. That way, no unpleasant surprises. Sure, it's still unpleasant, but at least it's not a surprise. I thought guardian training already ingrained that mentality into your head."

"O-of course, sir!" The guardian lieutenant stammered. "It's just..."
"Worrying?" Alden suggested.
"Yes, that!"

"Let's not waste anymore time, then." Arratay turned to Undine. "Spirits can detect most life, can't they? Why don't you give it a try, beautiful?"

Denise: *whisper to Rye* "Worrying"...right. Just that. *chuckle making a smooch face referring to Rye and Kria, but make sure no one else sees it. She didn't want him to feel too embarrassed*

Vlad: *frown on Zarak's nerve* He dares to? *growl crushing the cigarette and turning it into the ash completly*

Olcan: *growl before he turned to face Aska* Oh? What is this? *turn around smiling lightly* If it isn't the noble Aska in a flash? How are you...friend? I didn't realise you'll get so low and serve someone. *smile and provoke* I would expect much more from someone that managed to handle so many of my kind. Including my wife. Now, honestly Lilith... *glare at Lilith* Your mother's faith means that little to you? Your little boyfriend here is helped by a thing that burnt your mother alive! *frown* I believe that she would be very disappointed.

Akuji: *not able to stay quiet any more, he used telepathy on Lilith* That is not true. *react when a sword swung towards his neck, and grab it's blade with an enormous speed, keeping it in place and hiss when it sank into the palm of his hand, causing it to bleed* This is no time for that. I know orders. It will not happen again. *swordsman retreated and cleaned his sword* (Ooc: Swordsman is there to make sure nothing is plotted against the Count through the telepathy)

Olcan: *proceed* As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted... she would be very disappointed as well. *to Aska* And why would you ever think it was a threat? *smirk* I only want them to face the facts. Do you think it will be any different? Even with you around?

Olcan: *frown at Aska* Oh, it was not an incident, you ignorant spirit. Would you not remove everyone that are threat to you. Of course you would. Everyone would. *smirk* They went on against MY will to do as they pleased. It is the only natural thing to get rid of ALL of them, including their offspring. That is the reason our race stood so firm for so long.

Lilith: *refer to Aska* Oh, he forgets a lot of things. It is nothing new.

Olcan: *chuckle* I do not expect YOU to understand...daughter. You are blinded for the eternity. There is no help there. I invited you here to tell you to visit the Elder. But now, I do not really care about your faith any more. It is non of my concern.

Lilith: *smirk back tauntingly* So, you are giving up on me? I am not going to cry because of that, you know.

Olcan: *grin* Oh do not mistake my words for something else. I do give up on you. But you still have your roll. *chuckle* Once the Elder proclaims you the prey, you will face hell itself. *look at all three of them* All of you. And that is the only truth. *to Zarak* I highly doubt your kind will be very satisfied. You see, it is not only vampires that feel disgust towards pairings like these.

Olcan: *nod* Then as I said, you're either really brave, or too stupid, young one.

Lilith: *accept Zarak's hand and move towards the doors* Let's just go. I had enough and we got what we came for.

Olcan: *smirk* Luckily you still know when not to bother me any more. Now I would say "good luck" to you too. But then I would simply be another two-faced traitor. Watch your step out. *turn to Akuji frowning, after Zarak and Lilith went out* And you...

Akuji: *glare calmly* Yes, Count?

Olcan: I am SO close to remove you for your behaviour!

Akuji: *smirk* Oh, I do not thing you would do that, Count. After all, we have history that can not be erased by removing me.

Olcan: *growl left speechless and move away* You're free to go as well.

Akuji: *bow down politely* I thought so. *blend into the wall and disappear*

When Sahrah began to leave, the half-demon had the odd feeling of regret.

It's something I did, I just know it...
Just thinking of that fact was enough to make Kor feel guilty.

To make matters worse, though...
"Finally dropped the snake?"

Oh god, why...

"'Course he did! Why else would that clingy [BLEEP!] leave his side?"
"I think he's a bit lonely. Wanna fix that?"
"YES!"

With a groan, Tristam turned over, and buried his head under the pillow, hoping to somehow miraculously avoid any sort of contact with the approaching mob of "fan-girls".

And the fact that this mob was here in the first place only increased the feeling of guilt.

---------------------------

Rye shot a burning glare at the elf.
"This is neither the time nor the place!" He said hotly. "I have every right to be concerned for the intelligence general's safety!"

-------------------

"Heh, didn't you know curiosity killed the cat?" Said an unknown female voice.
"Damn..." Kria said to herself, obviously in danger as Rye had feared. "I was... Too careless..."

"I wouldn't worry about your stupid guardian group, though. They won't find you here..."

Fortunately enough, Undine was capable of sensing the aura these two women gave off.
One normal(ish), and the other reeking of death.
