(Hello!:D )
(We need to bring your character back in, and one of my other ones, perhaps Kasshoku can come back? I don't want to leave Nalik behind though...Hm....)

Raz~Female~Vir Requis

The world it was so silent as I watched the men walk around. I looked over at the children, some looked at us, pointing to us. I suspected they wanted to go see what was in the cage but by the look of their mothers I figured we would not be seeing an of them any time soon. A small sigh escaped my lips as my eyes traveled to the still sleeping shadow. I watched him as he moved slightly a groan coming from his lips. Well at least now I will not be the only one awake. I watched as he jolted up, forcing me to back off a little for I would have been hit if I had not. He then stared at me with hostility but really it did not bother me. I under stood were he was coming from. But then it cleared as he realized who was sitting next to him. With a small sigh and the shake of my head I turned from him and backed the camp, watching it move by. I listen to his words as he said sorry to me, Really I did not care. There was no reason why he had to say those words. My eyes locked on the movement as I watched the one with food walk past. I hungered but unlike most beings in this world I was train to eat little to nothing for weeks on end. I was trained to be inhuman almost.

The words of Shadow came to me again as he asked me a question. "So what's your reasoning for saving me?", Those words echoed threw my head as I stood up and moved over to the bars. Placing my hands on it I leaned on them watching the out side world as I thought of his words. Really I did not know, maybe it was because he was all I had know. Thought as a traitor by the ones that raised me, even if it was not the nice happy past but I still would never change it. Then there was the fact that the really only friend I ever had was gone, was dead and buried at his last battle. This boy was all I had know, he was the reason my life shattered apart, with out him I would almost feel lost. But Would I ever say that to him. Tell him those words, never. With a wicked smile I spoke, "How could I let a useful tool just slip threw my fingers so easily?" I said to him.

Then he spoke again, spoke about thanking me. I thought back to the time he said he said it, I think he did say something but I could not remember. My mind had been on the enemy not him. So I just shrugged at him still looking to the camp out side, my back to him. "Nope guess not." I said as I acted as if I did not care but I did. I was never thanked for anything before and it bothered me now that it was from this creature and not the one I always tried to impress, even tho now he hunts me. Who this man is, is Dires Irae, he was after all the one to raise me, the one to make me into his golden warrior. But now he hunts me down, he wants my blood upon his mace. Shaking my head I cleared my thought of that, part of me wanted to return to the man, to the man I had sworn my loyalties too. That type of loyalty I had shown to him, given to him was something that could not be broken with in two days. Two days that was really how long we have been on this run, hiding from him. Would he ever take me back?

(Yes it is, I think wait five more days, perhaps another whole week, and if she doesn't return, then I suppose we'll sort of have to start that part of the roleplay moving again. She can still come in later if she returns past that time. I've had a busy, but nice Christmas)

Would he ever take me back?

Slightly stunned that he even got a reply, and even more stunned at the answer, Shadow scowled.
"Why did I ever have the idiocy to think that perhaps some of you griffin riders are different, that some of you have hearts, and aren't lifeless robots. You're the same as the lot of them, all you think about is how best you can win things, I bet you've never really cared for anything in your life, soulless creatures you griffin riders are."
After saying that he got up and walked stiffly over to the other side of the cage.
Shadow didn't even hear what Raz said afterwards, he was angry at her reply, whether it had been a fake response or not.
Assuming the bars were safe, he went to put his hand on one, his aim was to test the strength of the bars to see if they could get out, only to jump back with a yelp, suprised by it hurting to touch the bars. Now sitting down cautiously away from the bars he glanced at his hand, he now had a nasty burn across it, already it was blistering up.
S***, in this environment this will get infected for sure.
Worried that Raz might try and see what was wrong he held his hands together in his lap, clenching his teeth together at the burning pain of his healthy hand resting next to his newly injured hand.
Knowing that the burn needed immediate attention, but not wanting that heartless griffin rider to help him, the boy stayed silent about the injury.
Though he did say in a calm voice, "The bars, you feel nothing wrong with them?" he wondered why she hadn't had the same effect, perhaps that part of the cage she'd touched wasn't covered in the stuff.
That cursed leaf that burned all Vir Requis, it didn't even occur to him that there could be exceptions to one being affected by that horrid leaf.
An approaching movement caught his attention, a couple of the bandits were moving in their direction. Instinctively the boy growled, currently he was in sort of survival mode, and when you back a wild animal into a corner, they lash out; despite being human, he still had wild instincts.
Shadow glared at the people walking up to the cage, his stance stiff, and in half crouch, half considering making a break for it should the bandits decide to open the door to the cage.

Raz~Female~Vir Requis

I stood there, my hand gripping the bars now as the boy spoke. He could not tell from my back as I just stood there but the words he said really pissed me off. Only hours before had I gone nuts because of the death of Tsuku, what was that no caring? No I cared, I cared for many things. I would have given my life for Dires Irae, I still might tell you the truth. I cared for the soldiers that worked under me, I cared for their lives but you must understand, caring is a weakness, something that is not supposed to show. That was how I was thought I was raised. You must remember, I was raised to feel nothing, show nothing, act only when told to. I was nothing more then a drone doing as I was told to do, do anything to please my master. My mind lost in thought I had not realize how much I was gripping onto the bar, pulling my hand back I looked at the small indents of the bar and smiled. It was not enough to break it but still the sight of the power of my hands made me smile.

At the boys yelp I turned around facing him with a curious look. The way he held himself, trying to hide his hands made me think a little. I looked to the bars as I heard his voice come to me. "Ah I see." I said with a chuckle as I turned around and looked at him. The bars was covered with that lovely herb, the one that was like fire to those Weredragons. I know I should be effected by it but I was not, I figured I had build an immune to it from all the years working with the plant, placing it on arrow and so forth. I smiled at the boy before looking back at the camp.

That was when I heard Shadow growl, an animal like growl. That almost made me turn to look at him, look at the direction he faced and to see the men approaching. I turned back at the boy and chuckled softly to myself. He looked like a caged up tiger ready pounce at any chance he got. I bet the men would hold some type of weapon that would keep us at bay. So I backed off from the bars, hopping they had not notice me touching them and moved over to Shadow. Standing over to boy I watched the soldiers. The way I stood those men could tell I was protective, I do not know why but I would not let them hurt Shadow, something in my made me protective of this boy.

[Midnight Tails]

Not expecting Raz to come over, he glanced at her slightly, but said nothing, the boy was confused as to why she stood in a protective stance next to him, but then he decided she probably just didn't want a 'useful tool' to be hurt just yet.
"Get away from me," he told her, ever since she'd said what she'd said, a seed of distrust had formed in him, Shadow didn't want anyone near him, especially the griffin rider.
Creeping back away from them all, but making sure he didn't touch the bars, he glared at them angrily. Turning his full attention back to the men, he narrowed his eyes, and again, a growl escaped from his mouth, his eyes, and the position he was in, just dared them to open the cage.


Not liking the task at hand, but knowing it had to be done, the bandits approached the were dragons cage, there was five of them in total, all bunched together, as if they thought being together would intimidate the two Vir Requis. Coming close to the cage, probably too close, but they were confident that the leaf on the bars would hold the two at bay.
One of them held up an oddly shaped stone, while another one said, "Now you two do everything we say, of your own free will, or we will use this stone." The one holding the stone up so they could see it was further back from the cage than the others, they weren't going to risk giving the dragons the oppurtunity to get to the stone.


Blood boiling with anger, Shadow lunged at the bars, but stopped just a tiny bit short from being burned, he had meant to grip the bars, but something had stopped him, he pushed that aside though, it wasn't important, he probably just stopped short out of instinct.
"Do you really think we'd be scared of a little stone?! As if! Don't you dare insult us like that!" despite not thinking of Raz as a friend anymore, he still included her sort of by saying 'we' and 'us'. What they said afterwards confused him slightly, but he decided they were just bluffing; Shadow wasn't thinking things through because of his anger at his current situation, and these bandits just, they were just so irritating.


At this they all smiled, "Seems you haven't come across this before...Well this will make it interesting. What do you think? Should we show this freak of nature what this mere stone can do?" They all nodded in unison, underlings such as these preferred to do things in groups, this was evident in how they talked.
"Why don't we try it out on the male first? He seems keen." said one, with a wicked grin on his face.
The one holding the stone started thinking about a single phrase, 'You want to fight, you're angry, turn your anger, and hatred into fuel to fight, it's in your nature to fight, it would make you feel better if you did...' pretty much thinking that sort of thing, over, and over, looking only at Shadow, they'd test it out on the other one, Raz, next, but for now, they wanted to properly see if it works wih these two.


Oddly feeling more irritated, and angry, more frustrated, the feeling of wanting to lash out getting stronger, it came on so fast that Shadow realised something was messing with him, but he couldn't figure out what.
Eyes starting to glaze, which showed he was losing the battle against whatever was trying to control him, Shadow became very still, the urge to attack, to kill, starting to settle in him.

(I don't like this post of mine, but I suppose it'll do. You can have Raz snap him out of it by suddenly startling him if you want, or you can let him go fully under the spell of the stone.)
