Azeil wandered forward towards them, dropping his cover for the time being, but he stayed within the shadows nonetheless. Not to hide, but for a quick escape should it be needed. He paused to stare at the wraith, obviously intrigued. He had been born from shadows, yet he couldn't recall running across these in his entire life. Then again, he wasn't always terribly aware while in the shadows.

"Quite... an interesting creature," he spoke.

(XD I think that Azeil has a thing for short women FYI. Asura's like, 5'3, and Espy's like, a little over five foot... and he's like... somewhere in the low six-foot range.)

(Ok, Taishi, Azeil, you guys probably know Espy's character enough, so, yes Taishi, you have my permission to do whatever you want with my character for the next seven hours, provided that you don't stab her (like Cronis does) or nearly crush her lungs (like he did with Storm).

Also, you lurking Coda XD If allowed, Espy is gonna try to beat the crud out of Dacorum tomorrow and probably fail miserbly in the meanwhile.)

Darii'yu took the letter and looked to her own life owner nodding before vanishing back into the shadows to deliver the message handed to her. Taishi smiled weakly falling back onto Dacorum "She will not read... not that it mattered if it was opened, she can read the language of shadows and dragonic" she say with a faint smile.

Tilting her head she looked at Espy "Anything else you would like to know about anything... I can't do much at the moment because I done something I shouldn't have, but I couldn't help it" she say looking at Dacorum contently, she hated feeling like this but to her the weakness was worth it to save him and to protect those close to her

((Okay Espy))

Looking to the Shadow captain she sight "She is not a creature, she is still a being, she has feelings even though she is dead" she say her voice sounding hurt but also angry at what her friend and guardian had been called it was almost as if she herself had been insulted

(Er...I just realized that Espy should have helped Dacorum just to seen less suspicious....since she is a medic of sorts, after all...)

((Oopsie... go post on storm before you log off XD))

((wrong char lol))

Taiye walked out of the forest towards the group of people that were now around Dacorum. She had left after taking down Trey to remove all remnants of her blood from her Gunblade since Taishi was around to help heal Dacorum. She walked up to the group and looked to Taishi, "How's he doing?"

Azeil raised his hands, spreading his clawed fingers. "I did not mean to insult," he said simply, "Creature... is a term I tend to use for anything non-human." Or not even near human for that matter. Sometimes being. It simply slipped out that way. The captain shrugged and let his hands fall to his side. "I've never seen... someone like her."

(Okies, gonna go sleep before mom gets mad :P I must sound like a ten-yr-old, huh. Feel free to borrow my character if needed.)

{I'm not sure Espy could take down Taishi at this point, actually, at least not once Dacorum gets back on his feet, if the life-link works the way I think it does.)

Dacorum is conscious and sitting up, cautiously wiping off the poison slowly continuing to be drawn out by Taishi's first spells. I've been better.

(>.> Hush.)

(-slams her head on the desk. One last thought. I stiiiiiiiill don't know who Fakir is.

AND. Since I can't pull myself away from the computer....

2.) Taishi+Taiye/Taiki/Taikimon. Your names confuse Espy.
3.) Honestly, I think this is one way of knowing how an avi forum is awesome: that there are three staff members online in the same thread that you're in.
4.) When the hell did Espy start referrinf to herself in third person? Espy blames Lucid.)

Taishi ignored the shadow captain from the moment and looked at Taiye nervously "I done a normal healing but it wasn't enough... " she began and trailed off "I done a life binding... we are binded together now until we die" she said looking down as if she knew she was going to be a scolded child "But he will get better quickly, our joint immune systems are beating out the poison though the inital binding itself has left me in a very vunrable state" she would say not even trying to stand up again as she knew she would just fall down once more

Taishi's eyes now went to the shadow captain as he spoke "I found it very insulting, you where there eaves dropping, you heard her name!" she growled, she wasn't in the best of moods considering how she felt right now but she calmed quickly "She was an Ascent Arco Void in life, she was almost killed but I got in the way and I stopped her death... A person came and done some weird magic rites, a few months afterwards Darii'yu returned as a wraith bound to me until I release her which I have but her duty binds her to me" she say her voice sounding hurt as a tear rolled down her cheek, she blamed herself for what happened to her so many years ago

Her eyes then turned to Dacorum as he moved and spoke "I thought you might have died on me" she said with a small laugh trying to change her mood "But evil don't die so easily, or that's what miss Asura says" she say shaking her head

((Life-link means they can draw on each others strengths and abilitys as if they where their own. congratulations... dacorum has insta heal when he gets cut))

His fingers spread again in apology, but he shrugged slightly. "I'm a spy," he reminded, "I heard you speaking of shadows and was curious." The tattoos on his body swirled, fairly uncomfortable being around two other captains, truthfully. He glanced over at Taiye for a moment before he looked at the female once again. "My consciousness in the shadows... is not always strong, so perhaps it is why I have not run into one of her kind." He was not going to apologize again, he did not truly feel all that bad, but he didn't want any more hostility towards himself.

He seemed to perk just slightly at the mention of Asura, and he smirked, thinking of the memories not so long ago... He'd need to catch the woman again, he thought to himself.

(XD Azeil's such a creeper...)

Taiye was surprised to see Azeil at the camp. She was unaware of his betrayal however, so she just assumed that he had been off doing missions like the other Captains.

She looked down at Dacorum, "I'm glad you're okay. I was afraid that we could've lost one of our Captains. On the bright side, we are fairing better than the Corrupt Captains. haha Counting the one that you and I took down, that makes them down 2."

Turning to Taishi, she smiled. "You did what you had to do, and I am grateful."

((@ Espy, I swear I have no relation to Taishi. xD))

Azeil relaxed just slightly as it seemed that his other captains did not seem aware. Although he couldn't help but be amused at the mention that they were down two. Sure, but... with a few of their own injured, and not at all counting himself... He supposed that they were roughly even.

((well technically the Corrupt are down even more now since I think Kyren converted Silvary? xDD))

Taiye sighed sleepily. It had been a long and eventful day. She waved her hand to the group before walking off back to her own tent to turn in for the night.

(XD I guess... ~kicks Kyren~ but... BUT THE CORRUPT STILL HAVE ASURA. ~snugs~)

After a few moments, and everyone seeming... busy, he slipped into the shadows once more, letting himself calm in them and rest. Although he did not /sleep/, rest was always nice.

Taishi tilted her head slightly seeing how he moved and acted, sh watched the swirls, her eyes turned to Dacorum 'I do not trust him' she placed into Dacorum's mind 'I may be weakened but looking into him he isn't like the other captains... I don't know what it is... be cautious' she warned to him. If he used the new sight he gained from taishi then he would also see that he was shrouded unlike Taiya for example "If you spend all your time there you would learn of those around you... you really think you where alone in there, I am a light Ascent and even I now there are things in the shadows" she say rubbing her eyes lightly

she then looked at Taiye with a smile "I could only do it once and Dacorum was it... I dont the incantation rites without even thinking about it... He was the first one of you guys I met" she say all truthfulness in her otherwise weiry voice

((I'm starting to think that Azeil betrayed the Divine to be with Asura and not cuz Ascellus is a meanie-face. xDDD))

(XD Nah, but it was a huge plus.)

((lol))

Although he'd left, Azeil spoke to Taishi. /I did not say I thought I was alone, merely that I was not aware of these... wraiths./ Oh he knew he wasn't alone, but there were creatures he did not know of. These wraiths that the woman seemed to know so much about was one of them. Although the shadow being decided that it was, perhaps, wise not to return to the Divine camp again. Alone at least. He may not be able to be /killed/ by these people, but he was perfectly capable of being seriously injured, and it did take Azeil a fair amount of time to heal large wounds.

(~snugs the couple~ I'm off for the night guys, g'night <3)

Taishi looked to the place where the shadow captain had sunk into the shadows "Deathless and Wraiths are two diffrent species not to mention the ascent arco of the void and shadow" she continued 'around you is a mist of corruption... for the moment I can only say it's because you have been around miss asura' she say meaning the werehouse raid a few weeks back, though she found it strange as the mist around herself left a week after she had came in direct contact with the corrupt captain.


(nighty night...Wait what couple?)

(I think Azeil and Asura?)

((We'll have to ask when the shadow's captain's player returns))

(yes, Azeil and Asura. XD)

((read my last post... it failed lol i'll add here))

Watching as the captain's went to rest or sleep, her eyes shone dull like ambers in the starlight "Rest well Shadow captain... Rest well Captain Taiye" she said warmly, sitting up once more she looked to Dacorum and bit her bottom lip for a second she believed he needed to hear this "My race have a saying 'We can only walk the path the fates have written for us' meaning we can not stray from what we are ment to do in this life..." she trailed off and looked to the guards who where protecting the camp "when I first came here I didn't understand why; why I was in a training camp and I didn't understand why you where the first one I met out of all the captains... I think it was to save you Dacorum" she say moving her hands behind her, she needed to get to her cloud to help there healing rate, though she blinked feeling dirt and not air, she just relized she was on the ground she looked so innocent and child like as she brought her had around to look at the dirt on it "wow... it feels soft" she genuinly sounded amazed.

Sitting there for a moment studying the dirt she shook her head, she placed her hand behind her and pushed herself onto her knees and pushed from the balls of her feet in once graceful movement standing for a moment she looked like she was going to fall back down she brought her wings came out to stablize herself, but unlike the first time they where seen, their shape changed from dove to be more dragonic and covered in white scales, with a sigh she aged to look like a woman no older than twenty years old, standing at five foot four inches, her white robes now replaced with pale blue robes, her nails grew to look almost claw like but seemed like it was blue crystal, dotted around her form would be white scales but they almost seemed like jewllery.

she'd turn and looked at Dacorum "Not my normal form but I will stay in it as it will strengthen us" she say placing her hand out to help up "This form in my race is called Drakon, as it is the closest form to our dragonic form" she say smiling, she wondered how he would take how she looked now
