Time for war. Semi-lit. Accepting

Delilah rolled her eyes and swung up onto Nasira's back. She gave the others a look before giving Nasira the go ahead, Nasira jumped forward and soon they were racing off.

Sloth grimaced as she pulled herself up, before sighing as the others sprang ahead. She clucked her tongue, and her stallion started moving, effortlessly keeping up with the others. As Sloth slowly got used to the rolling rhythmic rhythm, she lay back a little, just watching the things go by.

Eurelya quickly swung her legs over her horse, a good tempered brown mare, with a flash across her forehead. A patient creature it was, and Eureyla petted it gently. A quick check that they hadn't left anything behind and she got going, closing the gate behind her as she went. Realising that the two sins were actually going faster, she smirked at how unlike Sloth this was, before she urged her mare into a gallop, keeping up as she stayed to the back of the group.

[Just to say, I have NOT abandoned this, I just want Dead to post first. So Dead, PLEASE, post =< ]

[~:Stitch:~]

I have finals this week and next week, so yah. I will try to post this week (currently working on it here and there))

(Because of how busy I am, this post will be short and none fancy. Sorry DX)

Shay let his brother drag him away. It was best, besides there was still more to make his brother buy. Shay examined each shop they passed by till the glint of something red caught his eye. He froze, setting his gaze on a big red diamond. "There." Shay spoke quickly and grabbed his brother's arm in a killer grip. Right as he was pulling Samir, he was completly ablivious to a guard walking infront. Shay accedently bumped into the guard. "Oof!" The guard huffed. Shay was pushed back into Samir. "Sorry young man." The guard, an angel, said. Sh**! He cused in his mind. Angels could detect dark magic, meaning sins. Not good. Instantly the Angel narrowed it's eyes. "I need you boys to come with me." Shay matched the angel's glare with a more dark and menancing glare. "...." The two were now in a deadly stare down.
(sorry if it isn't great. I am rushed)

[Ok, I know that I've been gone for a long while and I also know where this is most likely heading, the dead zone, but I really don't want this to end just like that! =< I wish other people would join. That way, we'd have more to interact with. I tried inviting a person or two, but no one seems to have come. ]

|| Samir ||

Glad to have finally left the 'circle of stares', Samir walked about with his brother in a calmer more peaceful manner. The shops around them were hustling and bustling, busy workers giving, taking and tossing. The festival itself was also in full bloom, confetti falling above them like light rain. It was a lively crowd they were in and the blue-eyed boy had to make sure no one bumped into them or else his lovely sibling would see to the end of the "insolent being" that dared block their path. As they passed by the many stands, the lad saw many beautiful things, some of which he also wished to buy. Daggers, hats, chocolates, books, carpets, jewelry, all types of wonderful clothing. He wanted something to decorate his room with again. Something blue, perhaps. Suddenly, Shay stopped and grabbed his hand tightly, marking his desired direction with his gaze. Samir could instantly understand where he wanted to go. The stand with jewelry was packed with glittering wonders. And it sold little figures as well, one of which, a blue crystal bird, caught the young man's attention, until he detected two things. The first one was the astonishingly large in size red diamond, which made his guts tighten in a knot when thinking how much it cost. The second one made his entire insides freeze over. It was the scent of an angel. The youngster instantly wanted to pull away, yet his brother was holding him so strongly as he dragged him along to the shop that he could not possibly take control of their course or break free, for that matter.
"Shay, we should-" were the only words he managed to utter before the crash between them and the guard.
They stumbled back a little bit, because of which Samir's arm managed to get away from Greed's clutches.
"Sorry young man" was the angel's excuse.
'Stay calm. Stay calm' the guy told himself.
Messengers of God, that was these being's purpose. Sent to this world in order to guard the innocent, angels could detect the darkness, regardless of its container. It was similar to the way Samir had sensed its coming. However, simply because they harbored negativity did not automatically make them the embodiment of sin. If they could keep themselves steady, there was a chance that they could be taken for buys who were going through a growth-spurt, which would automatically send them to the church, where a priest would want to hear their troubles out. Envy had done this about three times already, yet his own power was that of deceiving and masking. There was no wonder he managed to trick them. Moreover, in a situation like this, he could play innocent better than his sibling. The key point was not to appear threatening or impudent and try to create a lying light. However, his twin was not the type to outrageously lie, knowing that this lie would make him go to church, where he'd have to make a convincing story about his misfortunes, after which he'd have to smile like a fool and walk away. It would save his life, but it would also shame him, in a way. Samir cared neither for his pride, not for his honor. If it meant his own survival, anything would do.
"I need you boys to come with me." the angel told them through narrowed eyes.
While Shay and the guard were locked in a 'who will blink first' battle, of a sort, Samir was considering their options.
The first one was to go along with what he usually did on his own, which would have little effect, because his twin was already burning with dark aura in a quantity and quality exceeding that of a simple ruffian.
The second option was for him to attempt to hide himself and his brother behind a mask of light he will have to generate on his own. However, there was a breaking point in this. If his brother didn't calm down and attempt to keep all of his power, including his aura, at bay, the spell wouldn't work. It was surprising, but after numerous occasions had offered the chance, they had found out that if the two twins used their powers on each other at the same time, each would cancel the other out. The older demons had explained this with the fact that the two had once been one and that they completed one another, thus making it almost impossible for one to kill the other, unless the one being attacked didn't put up a fight.
Finally, there was the possibility of escape. Using the simplest power he had, to make him and others around invisible, it would be an easy exit. But Samir did not wish to do that so soon. If they left without an explanation, the guard around would become stricter, making it impossible for them to come again, unless he was by himself. People would murmur and doubt, stirring up the stew of society. This would most likely hinder any of father's near-future plans, even if it was only by a little bit. The sin himself didn't care if it would put his king at a disposition, yet they were family and the lad had learned that family is one of the most important things in existence.
And right now, he had to protect the closest 'family' he had. Placing his hands on Shay's shoulders, he did the following:
'~Put down the fire. Do you want to get caught, you idiot?~' he told his brother telepathically with a cold tone.
"Ah, dear sir, wherever might you be taking us?" he smiled cheerfully, as if nothing was wrong at all. His trickery instantly worked on himself, hiding his dark resonance behind a thick mask of 'lying light', as he preferred to call it. It wouldn't work so quickly on his sibling, though. It only began covering him slightly, yet broke because he still hadn't calmed down."We aren't that familiar with the town, since we're travelers. Might it be that there was some registration we forgot to fill? I'm sure we did everything upon entering the region. By law, you must at least state your reasons for wishing us to "come with you"." at the time, Samir actually wondered if he looked disgusting to his brother, since he was being so bright and innocent. Sometimes, he was disgusted by himself as well, yet this behavior wasn't on his top-dislikes list. It was terribly cheezy and childish, but at least it worked.

You aren't replying for Vega? That was who I was waiting for.)

[~:Stitch:~]

(Pah! I'm not letting this die! My summer break ha started, i'm in a LOT of rp's, and my parents plan many things so I will do my best to reply)

[iva wolf]

[Sorry for my lack of reply. It's just that Vega is feeling kind of....stale, so to speak...I kind of got bored of him, even though he's a cool character -_-" I'm not entirely sure what to do with him. This is why I hadn't replied with him, yet]

The journey through the kingdom was a silent and peaceful one. Vega seldom made any sound other than his own breathing, which was as quiet as a needle falling in a busy workshop. His stallion was much like the rider, not nagging or troubling anyone with anything unnecessary. It kept up the pace with ease and was eager to do what was required, to please in a delightful way.
The scenery also rarely changed. First came the forest many thought was haunted. Yet everything nowadays was considered such in this country, thus it was no surprise that strange noises were often heard from its depths while the group passed through on the silver-dust road.
Next came the barren fields, burned by farmers countless of times. It was spring, the season which was said to be the time of birth, when the earth would bare its fruits, children that had slept under the icy covers of winter. This was only true for the neighboring kingdoms. Here, where the environment was harsh, demons prowled day and night and sins were the royalty, the rules of nature also differed from the norm. Rather than during spring, everything seemed to flourish during winter. Flowers would bloom, first in the colour of crimson, resembling newly spilled blood on the fresh snow. Then would come the blue, which were like tears, fallen from the eyes of those who wept for their lost loved ones. Third would rise the violet blossoms, ones which sparkled like gems under the moonlight. Most edible plants also came during autumn and winter, turning the natural order of things upside-down. After these two seasons of plenty, when people could eat and trade, villagers had to burn everything that was left to the ground, for there was danger of their fields getting poisoned by left-over crops, which mutated due to the rising concentration of dark energy. Not many demons liked spending their time in the open during autumn and winter, but come spring and summer and they would come raiding everything in swarms, unless their presence caused corruption within other living things, making them into something even lower than themselves.
'Better cause war now than ruin the little time to restock during those cold months. This will also cause losses to those people, since they are still tired and wary after a long winter.' Vega thought.
"We best disguise ourselves, for the border is closer than before. Although anyone coming from this side will look suspicious to them, if we appear like fugitives, we'll receive a warmer welcome." he told them coldly.
Although masks were not the demon's specialty, he could easily hide his horns and change his hair-colour to black, which he did after speaking. For his body, he could do little, but his figure was not too outstanding and tall men with a well-built body were not a rare sight. The brown cloak he had put on gave the demon a more ordinary look and with his nails changed to a skin-tone colour, the only thing that hinted about his true identity were his eyes, something that neither he, nor anyone could hide, expect the very few who truly lived a lie.
