Jake looked to the side, surprised at what he saw. Standing there was the same man who had jumped up and met them on the roof before that brawl.

Jake looked at him amusedly when he was asked what he was. "That's not exactly easy to answer..." Jake said, rubbing the back of his head. "Um..." He crossed his arms and stared up at the morning sky. "Well, I'm human...but I'm also 3 parts alien...rgh, how should I explain this."

Jake frowned and took a deep breath. "Alright, here goes. I'm a fifteen-year-old kid who is mostly human. But, I'm also part Allsie (that's the same race as the guy you saw me with earlier), part Kariyu-Shina (another alien race), and part Dragon. I'm mostly human, though."

With all that out of his hair, Jake smiled and looked at the man. "Anyways, the name's Jake; Jake King. What's up?"

"Mostly human... uh-huh..." Wylliam was trying desperately to accept that his senses were not on the fritz, and that the being before him was truly, if not wholy, human. Still, he hadn't completely decided against checking himself into the mad-house yet. "Alright, you say you're part alien. Your friend most definitely blew the door off that bar. And I am not having a hallucinogenic breakdown?" Try as he might, he couldn't keep the pleading tone from his voice.

Jonad was running in a field of grass, nothing to be seen around but grass.
Suddenly, a gorgeous girl came running to him.
They met up in a warm embrace.
Their lips got closer.

*ZNORK!*
"Aww. why do I always have to awake at the best part" Jonad complained to himself.
He looked towards the window, the pain of the rays.
His pale skin, and the lack of pigments, made the sun an eternal friend, and enemy.

He forced himself to his legs, and again looked outside.
"I wonder if Cairn is awake"
He let out a sigh, and grabbed his white hooded robe.
He put if on, and right after, did a quick inventory check.
Everything seemed in order.

He exited the door, locking the room behind himself. He walked towards, and down the stairs.
The Inn seemed to be not too populated. Not too rare to see at this time.
Cairn was at the counter, and Gade seemed to already be in his breakfast.

Jonad sighed slightly, and walked up to the counter.
First now, he noted another person there.
Beside Cairn, there was a young male, looked like he was close to his 20ies.
He had brown spiky hair, and a green tunic.
He seemed to be a sword user as well.

Jonad sat down on a chair, that left one avalible between himself, and the new dude.

Jonad looked still asleep. And the barkeep came over.
Jonad mumbled his order.
"What, speak up" the Barkeep stated.
"Oh, sorry. One Ale, and some stew" Jonad stated, clearer this time.
The barkeep entered the kitchen door halfway, and shouted in the order.

Jonad turned to face Cairn.
"G'morning" he stated, looking half asleep.

Hejaloki and Julius made their way in to the city of Palacious.

As they entered the city. Hushed whispers were spreading through the town.

"Is that the prophet." said a citizen in a whisper to a guard.
The guard replied, " I think he is just another false magician."

"Can it be?" said another citizen.

Hejaloki and Julius (aka Octavis Sode) made their way to the town center. There a man came limping towards the prophet (Hejaloki). This guy was like this since birth. Trying to ask him to help him, but them trips into the arms of Hejaloki.

"Help me prophet, please!" said the man.

Hejaloki lifted the man to his feet with some strength he didn't look like he has.

"May the will of the fates heal you." With that Hejaloki healed the man.

The man walked normally for the first time and was cheering to the crowd. The crowd was awl struck. Having the crowds attention. Hejaloki bellowed:

"Be warn darkness is coming once again. Likes of which this world hasnt seen in a long time. All people must band together to battle the darkness. Sides will not matter to the darkness. If you do not settle your differences the darkness will consume you all."

Hejaloki turned to Julius, " Assist me Octavis."

For healing the man of that injury it took a lot of his power. A lot more then it would have normally taken him in the past to heal. he also came here to this town for another reason. To regain a item he use to carry thousands of years ago. Locked in the chapel vault. He and Julius made their way to the Chapel.

Jake raised his right eyebrow skeptically. "You've never seen someone use energy before? My gramps just blasted some energy..."

Wow, Jake thought. This place is almost as bad as Earth.

"No," Jake said, "You aren't going crazy. We can use energy to attack and defend ourselves. It's a lot easier to blast a small burt of energy than it is to jump down and knock a door over. But what about you guys," he continued, jumping back up onto a roof. "What's your story?"

March 4, 2008, 6:32 PM

"Good Morning Sir Jonad, I believe you just recently woke up. Have a sit with is and enjoy a good breakfast. Today we head to the City of Palacious. We must be careful though, I've heard that bandits wander these regions." Cairn rested his elbows on top of the counter and leaned his chin against the palm of his left hand, staring at the mirror before him. Without turning to see Jonad, Cairn commented-"Our means of transportation has been already prepared. Gade should be waiting at the town's entrance." Cairn brought his eyes to the exit, the rays of the sun illuminating the floor, the clouds passing so peacefully as the wind carried them with gentle arms.

As Raven carried the unconcious Damian across the plains the cold feeling of Dain was replaced by the warm sun and the gentle grass that he walked across on his journey to Vaid. As he entered the port town he was greeted by several anxious passers by who, seeing Damian unconcious helped to guide Raven towards a nearby inn to get some rest, as he entered the inn he noticed the numerous pictures that decorated the walls, showing many species of large fish and other beasts of the sea as well as artwork of ships and other vessels. When Damian was resting in a room upstairs Raven walked outside and walked towards the town entrance, almost as if he was waiting for somebody to arrive.
----------------------------------------
As Cain returned to his throns room he could hear the distant sound of his forces returning, had they killed Damian? Had they encountered a force of some kind? His answer was soon revealed as he saw his forces rampage through the castle towards the throne room and all of them quickly lowered themselves to their demonic ruler.

"I'm sorry m'lord, we encountered a powerful demonic man, much like yourself as we encountered your brother." Announced a soldier at the head of the forces, shakingly.

Hearing this Cain walked over to the soldier, then he began to pace around him, examining him.

"This demonic man you speak of, was he allied with my brother?" Cain asked, menacingly.
"Yes sir, he indeed was allied with your brother, it appears he is gaining allies, though when we fled from his power he appeared to have left your brother weakened." The soldier replied, still shakily.
"Well then, if this is the case, would you happen to know of where he has fled to?" Cain asked, slightly angered.
"Yes sir, he appears to have gone to the port town of Vaid" The soldier replied.

Hearing this news Cain allowed an evil smile to enter his lips, walking to his throns and lifting Dark shadow ripper from the ground he then allowed himself to fly over his men and set off for the direction of Vaid to end this fight with his brother.

Wylliam followed Jake onto the roof. "I," he began, landing with a flourish that could have been mistaken for a misstep, "am Wylliam Morgan, the famed 'Dragoon with the Wyvern Eye'. My ((self proclaimed)) reputation as Seseu's most powerful, cunning, and handsome mercenary is ((in his mind)) unquestioned."

Straightening, he leaned on his spear and looked into the eyes of the strange youth. "No doubt by 'our story,' you are referring to this debauched war taking place. Okay, here's the short version." With that, Wylliam began to account to the youth the events leading directly to the current conflict.

--------------------------------

"That's about it," he concluded, "pretty repetitive stuff if you take a step back and look at human history."

Wylliam sighed and shook his head in a manner that left no question to his belief that if everyone were as wise as he, the world would be a much better place.

"So, I decided to join the Seseuan cause as a partisan mercenary. Not my preference, but I had to do something to help stop the emperical ambitions of Aldabra."

He returned his gaze to Jake. "So, what brings you two to our humble little world?

As Raven crossed his arms and looked on to the sunny sky he sensed an evil presence approaching, lowering himself to a crouch instinctively he waited, knowing something of power able to match his own was about to appear. As he sensed the power he noticed it appearing from the direction of the sea, with this knowledge he ran towards the center of town and prepared to get every able warrior ready to knock back this force.

"Every able warrior, please gather to me! A powerful beast is going to attack this place if we don't defend it! We must protect its vanquisher before it has a chance to slay him!"

Raven ran towards a pile of discarded pipes and placed his right hand against them all, like magic they levitated into the air and slowly transformed into a 7ft long iron longsword.

"Everyone, you'd better get ready for the fight of your lives, as it very well may be." Raven spoke, almost to himself.

Raven then walked towards the center of town again and turned his head to face the sea.
-----------------------------------------
Cain was now gaining tremendous ground on his quarry, but he also noticed that he had been detected. No matter he though, for this only brought him ever closer to his prey, before slaying his brother he would deal with this unknown demonic man. And when he was slain he would deal with his 'little brother'.

Cain was now approaching via the sea, hoping to dodge the military units until he was already finished with the town of Vaid. As Cain proceeded ever nearer he began gathering gravity energy around himself.
