"Nor I but I can guess from stories Bae'fryn has told me." Tesshu muttered as he tossed his robe down exposing the glyphs along his body, buzzing with life and energy. "Please Ent's...I wish no harm...I just want to go home."
The largest tree before him responded by cracking a whip like banch over his wing again.
Tesshu let out a cry of pain and set his jaw, sending out a message mentally to his brother as he rose. "Fine. We'll do this the hard way then.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
Riki's eyes suddenly lit up as he turned for the woods. "Khorg! Vincent! Ihyo! We gotta move!"

Dark stands up, her blue eyes blazing. "Is there trouble? What's the matter?"
Chyenne gasps. "Tesshu! Are you all right?" She felt so guilty and so absolutely useless.

Tesshu panted lightly, carefully placing himself between the ent and Chyenne. "I'm...fine.." He grunted out as the glyph on his palm burned bright an orange-red glow. "I'm sorry...I know how you feel about tree's Chyenne...But I have to..."
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
Riki nodded. "Tesshu's in trouble. I don't know about Chyenne yet."

Chyenne's eyes widen. "Oh, heaven..." She averts her eyes, anticipating what Tesshu was going to do.
Dark nods and stands up. "Well, I know that I will have to stay here and watch out for things. I will get Shivelle... she's been looking for a good fight."

Riki nodded as he whistled, the spirit dragon floating down from the sky. "He's in the heart of the Black Wood...hurry." Riki said as Khorg and Ihyo lept on the dragons back.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
Tesshu took a deep breath and as the Ent's whip readied to crack over hie back again He held up a hand. "Protectum Kas Inerfernum" He chanted, a tall ring of fire enveleoping himse;f and Chyenne as the Ent's branch burned away with a shriek.

Chyenne shuttered horribly and collapsed weakly at the sound of that shriek.... it sounded so much like a real tree crying out in anguish.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dark quickly ran upstairs and got Shivelle out of her room, telling her quickly what was going on. Shivelle ran down the stairs and out the door, her wings sprouting from her back and her scyths appearing in her hands.

*Gallop* "I knew they'd try to go as soon as I left.. I'm beginning to think they don't like me..." the elf muttered to himself with a smirk, upon the back of a palomino horse. Of course it didn't fly as well as the dragons did, so he had to run along the ground into the woods. "Careful now, watch your hooves." he told the horse. Whether they liked it or not, he was going to follow Tesshu. If anything just to make sure he found her.
It was quite a ride into the wood, and everything grew darker. With hardly any moonlihgt making it through the crowns of the trees, his elven sight began failing him, and it was clear the horse was getting nervous.
Suddenly there was a bright light as something flaming fell to the ground up ahead. His horse whinnied and reared, but the elf held on tight. He tied the reins to a low hanging branch, and moved forward on foot to investigate, going in stealth.

Tesshu winced, he hated hearing Chyenne cry but he couldn't let them hurt her. "Hehe...so the Fallen do reside here..." Came a voice. From the ring of trees came figures of shadow. "Remember us?"
"...The Shadowkind...But Riki..." Tesshu's eyes grew wide.
"Yes...Riki destroyed Alo'in...but he forget me..." The shadowed figred stepped forward revealing a battered corpse, a massive gash in his stomach. "He never finished the job...compassion is his weakness..."
"Riki!" Tesshu shouted as he wrapped Chyenne in her wings. The shadowkind laughed as they stepped towards him.
The next moment there was a deafening sound of clanking steel and Tesshu glance dup, spotting a blade engulfed in white flame through a shadow. "Run Tesshu. Protect Chyenne." He said swiftly as Khorg and Ihyo fell from the back of the spirit dragon, dropping them on two more shadows.
Teshu nodded quickly and gave himself a minute, a green glyph glowed as he was lifted into the air with Chyenne via a small turnado. From above Vincent cut away two more whipping vines to protect the two and landed, a pool of shadow at his feet. "Again...we dance with destiny..." He sighed as he snapped his Katars.
Tesshu landed on Fal'sho's back and panted lightly. "I have to go back Chyenne..."

Chyenne starts... but then she thinks. She was thinking about someone other than herself... a trait unheard of in a dryad. She looks sadly at Tesshu, her emerald eyes pleading. "Do you have to go?"
Shivelle grinned in an evil way, her elongated fangs gleaming even in the dim light. She was hacking away at the ents with her scyths, and her vampiric attributes were being appeased. This was good. She had gone for so long without killing or inflicting pain that she was sure she would go insane. Now that her vampiric tendancies were being shown, they would leave her alone for a time being.

Tesshu paused and his eyes met Chyenne's. "...I am wounded..." He said with a nod and whispered a small prayer as Fal sped towards the house.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
From above came bolts of plame igniting the tops of the Ent's and throwing them into disarry. "Let not one live!" Riki shouted over the noise as he hunted down the shadowkind.

Zephyr lept over a bush, then ducking, narrowly smashing his face against a low hanging branch. As he arrived, he stood for a moment in awed silence. Flames from moving trees, light the dark woods, and all the others, which he thought he had left at the Tavern, were suddenly here fighting strange creatures, while a dragon lifted out and into the air. "What's going on here?! You were planning to leave me out of this?" The elf asked, drawing his longsword and a hand crossbow.

"Les talking more stabbing lad!" Khorg bellowed as he drove his axe into the trunk of a tree, prying it out and speeding to another.

Zephyr nodded, and just barely noticed a claw heading for his face. The nimble elf immediatly dropped to the ground, gracefully hitting a root with an 'oof,' before using the longsword to cut the ankles off the humanoid corpse before him. He rolled quickly to his feet, and looked around for the closest target. He'd have to ask them what the heck these things were next time he got the chance.

Shivelle's grin broadens as she slices at everything in sight. In her frenzy, her blades had begun to radiate a black, shadowy substance. It was getting easier and easier to cut through vines... soon it would be strong enough to wreak havoc on all of the ents.
((Now, is Tesshu going back with Chyenne, then?))

((Yea he's and Chyenne are on Fal heading for home to Dark.))
Vincent smirked, sensing the other vampire. With a woul he clashed his blades above his head, an aura of bloodlust taking over. He sped like a dark blur ripping through an ent with a deafining squeel of steel as a mist of Life force was absorbed into his body with a smirk, dashing off after another.
Ihyo let out a grunt as he brought his blade down heavily on the 'foot' of another Ent, casuing it to stumble backwards towards Khorg. Letting a spew of dwarf speak leave his lips, the mighty dwarf lord's axe caught aflame as he split the ent in two. With a nod he dropped the axe, Ihyo running towards him and lau nched the human hunter into the air. Ihyo whipped out his bowgun, firing a series of flaming bolts into the trunks of ents and landed, whipping the blade back ouot and backing against the dwarf. "Not bad half pint."
"Not bad ye self pale skin." He replied with a smirk as they parted ways once more.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
Riki paused and spunm around, the original Shadowkind standing before him. "You bastard..." He growled angrily, his silver eyes burning brightly.
"Tsk tsk...who' fault is it for not finishing the job..." The creature laughed eerily.
"What do you want?"
"To kill you. And your lineage of course..." A red glare came over the creatures eyes. "I've heard of the Children on the Avatar...And They'll make lovey Shells."
Riki's eyes widened in anger. "You will never touch my children...I will die before they are even seen by you."
The figure smirked as his hands became blades, blood of his own body dripping down the blades. "So be it Avatar."
