Wizards and Warriors RP

Claira nodded, slipping the ring onto her finger as she said his true name three times. A surge of energy washed over her as she felt their souls bond together, smiling a bit as she looked up into his eyes.

OOC: A'right, will post tomorrow or so ;3

OOC: I vote yes for Ritual to come back (Even though I'm a bit late...)! On another note, my old laptop's now a paperweight, overheated and corrupted the entire system folder, been trying to fix it and/or find a replacement ever since; That's why I've not been posting lately. Also, expect an even slower post rate from me.

IC: Salamander gave her old friend and teacher a curious look. "What's brought this on all of a sudden, Sunny?" She asked Aska. "Er, don't get me wrong, the gesture's nice and all... Just... Why? Your own flames of 'passion' burning or something?"

-----

In the middle of his screaming, the boy in the garb of a plague doctor had failed to notice a teacher, one Tao Angren, walking up behind him. Without warning, she pulled him up to his feet. "What. Happened?" She said simply, expecting an answer.

OOC: I will now post some kind of a "return post" so it would fit in my characters again and since I have bunch of them I will make this more colourful ;3

*the unknown location of the family castle*
Lilith: The smell and the taste of century-old blood made her twitch lightly as she frowned, unable to open her eyes. "Is she awake?" Familiar female voice spoke lightly, somewhat carefully. Another familiar male voice, this time serious and experienced chuckled lightly. "I don't know. Why don't you ask her yourself?" Breaking the confusing silence, Lilith mumbled, forcing her voice out of her throat once again, first insecurely, then clearly. "How nice of you to worry." She stretched her blood red lips into the light, taunting smirk. "Remember the days you actually wanted me dead?" The female voice let out the laughter and sighed, teasing back. "Ah, good old days, little one. Good old days." Then she proceeded with a serious tone. "But seriously though. You better get down from there, we should run. Like...yesterday..." Lilith tried to nod, but her movement made the strings around her, tighten more. She sighed. "Oh dear. It happened again, didn't it?" The male replied with a simple "Indeed."

"Well don't just stand there, aren't you gonna take her down?" He shook his head gently and smirked. Lilith could tell he smirked. He always did. She knew him to well. So well, that she even assumed his words. "No. And neither will you."
"What?! Hun, you can't be serious, she..."
"She is a strong one. She is most certainly able to do it herself." Lilith chuckled, as the blood she received brought her strength back. "Yes, sir." Focusing, she loosen up her body so the strings around her loosen up as well as if she was asleep once again. It wasn't too long, before her body started dripping on the floor beneath in a thick, bloody drops. Drops soon turned to strings of blood, strings turned to flows and the flow increased until the cocoon was left empty and drained, and the major puddle of blood formed on the floor.

"Um...she doesn't look so good." The male laughed charmingly. "I know it looks bad. Just give her some time." Indeed, soon enough, Lilith's body started emerging from the puddle, head first, towards the feet. Her hair was let loose, scattered all over her shoulders and the black dress she was in. She took her time, opening her golden cat-like eyes gently and glared at Glasya and Akuji, before she smirked and nodded. "Greetings. Good to see you again." Akuji nodded lightly, crossing his arms. "Welcome back, miss Lilith." Instead of the simple greeting, Glasya suddenly found herself at Lilith's side, crushing her in a bear hug. "I was so worried! We all were! What were you thinking?!" Lilith went through it calmly, before turning into the bloody mass once more and reappearing out of Glasya's reach, smiling. "I appreciate your concern, Glasya. But I had my reasons."
"Reasons?! They trapped you here for good!" Lilith fixed her dress. "Yes, but it was worth it." Before Glasya could ask, she proceeded. "And I genuinely despise this bridal dress." Glasya nodded. "Yes hun. It really doesn't fit you." Lifting up a folded clothes, Glasya nodded. "This should do."
...
Fixing her school tie, Lilith walked out of the room, followed by Akuji and Glasya. While she walked down the hallway of the family mansion, she asked, not turning back. "Do tell, how is the happy bunch doing so far?" Akuji replied. "They are all very much fine. Some of them really worried about you." Lilith chuckled. "Right. I will believe that." Glasya dropped in. "Hey, it is true! We missed you."
"Then you all must be bigger fools than I thought." Glasya sighed and followed, pouting. "She...will never change, will she?" Akuji smirked. "Does she need to?"
"Touche. When your student becomes your teacher, right?" Akuji nodded lightly, drifting away into thoughts with no smile to be seen anymore. Glasya looked at him, but didn't say a word, understanding his reaction. Lilith broke silence once again. "Where is my demon?"
"Fierna is on it. He is fine as far as we know."
"Good. I was worried that they might got rid of him." Glasya huffed. "I am offended. Even though you get the right to be our mentors, doesn't mean you can get rid of us. We are more immortal than you are."
"There is no such thing as 'more' immortal. You either are or aren't." Glasya groaned and mumbled something which made Lilith smile.

Soon enough, they got to the window on the northern side, and Lilith opened it, letting the cool air in. It was their escape route. "Just...one more thing..." She said, staring into the forest ahead. "Before I get back there. Zarak...does he..." Knowing what was it about, Glasya shook her head. "Honey, Zarak is there. He is waiting."
"It has been a while."
"Yes well, that didn't change anything." Lilith hesitated a bit, before she climbed onto the window. "Then he is a major fool as well." Glasya smiled gently. "But you love him." Lilith shot her a glare that was both intimidating and sad. "That doesn't change the fact that he could have done better. I am nothing but trouble." With that, she jumped out of the window and onto the ground that was far down. With no injuries, she straightened up, fixed her uniform and walked into the forest with Glasya and Akuji behind her. Glasya glared pleadingly at Akuji that was silent. "Say something here."
"There is no need to. He would be subjective anyway." Glasya stopped and looked at her. "Wh-what do you mean?" Lilith rolled her eyes and turned around to face them. "Ii said that being captured was worth it for one major reason. I found out the truth that no one thought I should know." She shot a mad glare towards Akuji that frowned and tightened his jaw. Lilith proceeded. "There was a reason why my father never gave much damn about me."

Pretending, she still didn't understand, Glasya replied. "Uh...do tell." Lilith frowned. "Pretending not to know the obvious thing really doesn't fit you, Glasya. We all very well know that I am the blasted child in my family. My mother paid the price, so should have I." Glasya straightened up and sighed. "I apologise."
"Don't. You are not the one that needs to apologise for things." Glasya nodded. There was no way back now. They both knew, she figured it out. "I waited to be told the truth. From the beginning. But no one would tell me." She squeezed her fists so hard, the blood dripped to the ground. "Passively worrying about your daughter, at that point, isn't even the LEAST one should do." Akuji returned her glare bravely, ready to face her words that followed. "Isn't that right...father?"

Belial: The bad dream he had, seemed to last forever, until his lungs finally filled with air, feeling like they would burst. He inhaled deeply, warm air around him and opened his eyes, sweating his soul out of his naked body. "Liara! I...I need to save her I..." Small arms wrapped around him and leaned his head onto the chests where he inhaled familiar smell even before the voice soothed him. "She is fine, my dearest. Safe and sound." His breathing calmed down, and his crimson eyes cooled off along with his body. "M-mom?" Fierna nodded and sobbed while she hugged her son. "I was worried sick, Belial. So worried they would find you before I do." Belial straightened up and rubbed his temples that were pulsing madly. "My mentor hid me well." Fierna smiled and wiped her tears. "Yes, yes she did." Belial nodded and smirked. "Indeed. She is such a carrying little bloodsucker, no matter what she says." His charming smile, made Fierna relax and laugh lightly. Getting up, he stretched like nothing happened. He felt energised. Sleeping for a while did him good, but he still couldn't wait to see Liara again. He was aware that she might hate him, but he would do anything to prove her wrong. "Now, it is a bit chilly around here, yes?"

Fierna chuckled and raised his clothes. Realising he was as nude as he could be, he shouted and jumped into the cool lake water. Cloud of steam, released from his heated body filled the air. Once it cleared out, his flaming red hair and blushed face appeared on the surface. "Moooom! Come on! For hells sake!" Fierna shrugged and kept chuckling. "You are my son, Belial. Nothing is unknown to me." Blushing harder, she approached the shore, till the water went down to his waist, revealing only his muscular upper part. He pointed towards the clothes and stuttered. "J-just g-give me the clothes will ya?" Doing what he said, Fierna struggled to maintain serious face. "And t-turn around!"

"Oh fine!" Fierna rolled her eyes and turned around. Only then did Belial emerged from the water, dressing up. She hesitated before asking his question. "Mom? Can I ask you something?"
"Yes?"
"Does Liara hate me? You know, for disappearing?" Surprised, Fierna turned around and shouted. "What?! Why would you say that?! How could anyone hate you?!" Surprised by her reaction, Belial made a step backwards, slipped and fell back into the lake. "Oh my! Are you ok?" The demon, dragged out of the lake, his clothes now soaked wet. He sighed, squeezing water out of his shirt and flipping his soaked wet hair back. "You know, a simple 'No.' would have been fine."
Lilith: Walking back into the academy, she hadn't spoke a single word with Akuji or Glasya. Silently, she walked up to her dorm, not saying hello to anyone. Not like anyone was going to reply anyway. In the hallway, she saw him. Just as she remembered. He was going towards her dorm. She stood silently behind the corner, till he went away and towards her doors. Hesitating, she stood in the hallway, not knowing would she follow him or not. For the first time, she was afraid of what he will think. What he will say. She turned around, walking back, away from her dorm, hoping not to be seen.

Akuji: He walked silently with Glasya, towards his chambers. Once there, he stopped and turned towards her. For the first time, she was able to see sadness and insecurity in his hundreds of years old eyes. For the first time, he seemed as old as he actually was. "I...I wish to be alone for a little bit of time. Can you do that for me?" Glasya replied quietly. "Are you sure?" Akuji nodded and went inside his chamber opening the doors and closing them. He was weak. Emotionally drained he had forgotten that he was able to walk in through the wall. Lack of his usual confidence and affection made Glasya shutter. Sighing heavily, she kept away, leaving in the unknown direction.

Belial: It was too good to be true and he realised that, as soon as they reached the Academy grounds. The sudden wave of energy was just a reflex. His body was drained and weak. His muscles screamed and he growled, annoyed by their weak movement. Being by his side, Fierna constantly insisted on helping, but he refused, stubborn to do things on his own term. It wasn't long before he saw her in the garden. Soaked wet and pathetically weak, he refused to be seen that way. Even so, Fierna pushed him forward, and he found himself behind Liara's back. She still didn't notice him. How could he blame her? His energy was close to none. Afraid that he might startle her, he kept on a decent distance, thinking of what he might say. How on earth would he justify himself? Sighing in defeat, he bowed his head, angry with the lack of words as he simply said. "I am sorry. I am so sorry..."

OOC: So damn long I had to make two ._. sorry

Liara perked up as she heard a voice, standing and turning around as she saw Belial. "B-Bel...." she mumbled, surprised and shocked to see her love. Tears welled in her eyes, dashing forward and hugging him tightly despite the fact that he was soaking wet. "Belial...y-your alive....y-your okay..." she mumbled, over and over again as she buried her face in his shoulder.

Claira, on the other hand, was shocked to see her own love disappear into a cloud of particles and fuse with her mana, shuddering a bit as she nodded when she heard his voice in her head. "Okay, i understand. Just don't do anything funny in there, alright?" she said, smirking as she teased him

Lilith: She smirked lightly. Tiny footsteps tapped over the floor towards her and she stopped. "Lilith?" She winced at Zarak's voice. There was no turning back, he saw her. Even so, she had no courage to turn around, even though she missed him dearly.The hug, even somewhat expected, still surprised her and she stood speechless. "Lilith! Oh, spirits, I've missed you!". Before she could reply, he turned her around, staying there, face to face with her. "What happened? I just woke up one day and you were gone! I was so worried about you!" Lilith smiled at Poofers and looked at Zarak once again, briefly, before bowing her head and staring down. "I... I needed to do something. Something unacceptable." Her calm and serious voice broke lightly and her face turned somewhat sad while she struggled with bloody tears that were threatening to stream down her pale face any moment. His closeness did wonders. "I needed to protect you." She sighed.

Belial: Liara was fairly tiny. Her body was usually hardly enough to even make his sway. But this time, his body felt like a blade of grass when hers ran into him. He stumbled lightly and leaned against the tree. It was mildly painful as his muscles still ached, but even so, he chuckled dearly as he embraced her into his arms. "Hello, princess." He replied gently and kissed her head as he pulled her deeper into the warm hug. His body warmed up again and his heart was beating loudly. "Belial...y-your alive....y-your okay..." He nodded. "Of course I am. It takes a lot more than a few demons to take down your own demon." He smirked, stroking her hair. "I just...I had to make sure my mentor was safe and my duty fulfilled. I am sorry I left you like that. It was too dangerous to tell you anything. They were already onto you and I couldn't let that happen." She lifted her face up and smiled at her even though the pain was taking it's toll. "Can you forgive your demon, princess?"

Fierna smiled widely as she watched two love birds starting to make up for the time they had lost. She winced a bit when Glasya tapped her shoulder and smiled gently. "Hey. I was worried sick, you know?" Fierna nodded. "So was I. But it all went well, sister." Glasya merely nodded and looked back at Belial and Liara, sighing. Fierna frowned. "Is...is everything alright?" Glasya replied quietly. "Lilith found out the truth." Fierna's eyes widened. "Oh my. How is she?" Glasya shrugged. "I can never tell what is on her mind. But I can tell Akuji is not doing well." Fierna nodded and comforted her. "He will be fine honey, he just needs time."
"Seeing him like this is new to me."
"Even so. He needs you to understand. I think you should even try and talk to Lilith." Glasya returned her glare. "How? She is angry. She didn't say a word to either of us." Fierna shook her head. "She is surprised and hurt. You should have seen that coming. She will talk to you eventually and you should be ready." But there was something that Fierna herself wasn't ready for. She stood silently for a bit. Glasya was as much confused with Fierna's puzzled face. "Hello? Is everything fine?"
"Wait. You feel that?"
"Fell what?" Fierna pointed towards Liara discretely. "Her energy." Glasya observed for a moment, before she straightened up. "You are right. How? She isn't a demon. Not by far. How could she have such strong and yet controlled demonic energy?" Fierna shrugged, but in reality she had a theory on her own that made her smile widely. Instead of saying it, she pulled Glasya along and left the two alone. "I think we should investigate." Glasya protested. "but...she is right there! We can ask..."
"Nope!" Fierna dragged her further. "I am pretty sure we shall find out eventually. Right now they deserve some time alone."
"But that could be dangerous! We could all be..." Her voice went more and more quiet till it fully vanished as Fierna dragged her further away.

Liara was a smiling, sobbing mess as she nodded, grabbing his face and pressing her lips to his in a kiss. Finally, after long last, he was finally back with her. She then stepped away a little, remembering her 'case' as she put a hand to her stomach. "B-Belial....i need to tell you something...." she said, taking a deep breath before she said "I'm with a child...your child, to be exact..."

Belial: He dearly returned her kiss, finally feeling fulfilled. However, he was mildly surprised when she stepped away, looking troubled. "Princess? Is everything fine?" As she spoke, he felt a bit of unease. "B-Belial....i need to tell you something...." He nodded insecurely. "Yes?" Her unease made his worse as he waited impatiently to here what she had to say to him. "I'm with a child...your child, to be exact..." His face turned to surprise as he processed information. From behind, Glasya's voice came to his ears. "She is pregnant you I..." She disappeared behind the bushes when Fierna pulled her back again. Belial growled and blushed lightly, mumbling. "I know what it means." He looked back at Liara and went through his still wet hair. "I..." He had no idea what she needed him to say. He wasn't mad. It was his responsibility as well. But even so, he had no idea how she felt about it. Sighing, she sat on the bench in front of her. "Princess... I do not know how you feel about that situation but..." He reached out and pulled her close, leaning his head on her stomach while she was standing, embraced with his arms. Feeling the energy of the child, he finished. "...but I like the way it sounds." He smirked and hug her tighter, careful not to hurt her.

Lilith: She stood surprised for a moment, before she returned him the same affection and relaxed. Nodding, she smirked. "Thank you." Sure of her words, she proceeded. "I...I love you too." With that, she had return the kiss, paying attention to Poofers and stroking hum behind his fluffy ear.

Claira only giggled a bit as she felt the pressure, going off to do some of her own business.

Liara blinked a few times as she was hugged close, seeing him lay his head on her stomach as she smiled a bit. "I know we have been apart for so long..." she started, the baby kicking a little in response to sensing Belial near. "....But i can already tell your going to be a great father..."

Lilith: She smirked and hugged Zarak back. Noticing Poofer's antics, she laughed lightly and reached out to scratch his belly. The little guy deserved it. "So, beloved. Did you do what you needed to get done?" She stopped smiling for the moment, getting back to what she had done. It couldn't have been that bad after all. She nodded. "Yes. Yes I have. Lord shall not bother us any more. Or so I hope... if I did everything correctly." She smirked lightly. "You would think he wouldn't be able to care any less for the blasted child as myself. But I guess his hatred was bigger than anyone could imagine. Sad. So sad." She said, stroking Poofers's belly.

Belial: He chuckled at the movement in Liara's stomach. "My kid alright. It still is in there but already hates my guts." He laughed and broke the tension that was accumulating. "I know we have been apart for so long..." Liara said and he nodded humbly, still feeling guilty about what happened. "....But i can already tell your going to be a great father..." Belial smiled and pulled her down to sit on his lap. "I will do my very best, princess. I will make both of you proud." He kissed her forehead and hugged her once more, wrapping his arms and his tail, that appeared now that he had more energy, protectively around her. "I almost lost you once. I will never let that happen again." He laughed lightly as Glasya emerged from the bushes yelling. "Can I finally mock to Fierna about how old is she for being a grandma soon?" Behind her, Fierna was thrilled, even though she kept rolling her eyes.

OOC: Crap I missed a lot in 7 hours....

IC: After a rather long period of waiting and thinking, plague stood once more. "I must find them... even if..." he went quiet for a short time, followed by taking off throught the hallway, asking everyone he saw about the bottle.
