Enchanted

Weeeeeeeeell...Me and Silver wanted to do an old RP of ours that we did ages ago and never got to complete it. There are going to be new characters and new twists and drama and everything! <3

((TADA, tis the new human charrie! Oh and, what are their powers going to be this time? Last time was animals, how bout something more "destructive" this time? since I rmb mentioning the Mystica can exist in many forms and they are dealing with a demon invasion so they need some kickass powers. meh you can jumble up a bunch ol god-modish stuff, I don't really care :D))

Name: Luke (ughh I don't know what to name guy charries)
Age: 17
Personality: He can be rather quiet sometimes, but is generally friendly and sociable. Luke is smarter than he looks, and he is good at analyzing situations and accessing people. He has a rebellious streak, and tends to be stubborn.
Looks: Luke has black hair and olive green eyes. He's more of "cute" than "hot". Fairly built, not too stocky or skinny.
History: UGHHHZ, *le leaves blank*
To-be powers:
Species: Human

((YEA totally we need different powers that are more 'powerful' in different ways and yeah XD I was thinking about elemental powers, chu know?
Gawd, Luke is an smexy name <3))

Name: Amy Clarkson
Age: 17 and an half
Personality: Brave, stubborn sometimes and enjoys hanging around other people since she hates being by herself. She can loose her temper sometimes when you push her too far but on the bright side she is one of the most nicest person you will ever met.
Looks: http://pftv-images.s3.amazonaws.com/red-hair-waves.jpg just picture her younger though XD
History: Noooooooooo...
To-be Powers:
Species: Human

((lemme think of how Zelastia shall contribute to the story plot XD I've already thought of one for Zorus, BUT IM NOT TELLING! ))

Luke was rather engrossed with figuring out what 24x70 was, so he  didn't quite hear what the blonde girl said. Something like,

"Hey Luke, ASDFGHHJ!"

Lol no, not really, but he did catch the "Amy fancies you" part. Luke gave them a confused look, but that was just for show. It was certainly the best way to avoid this awkward situation. But truthfully, he didn't really like loud, noisy girls who flirted way too much. Most guys probably think that rather attractive, but Luke didn't. Basically, he didn't like the girls in Amy's clique. But Amy was okay. Yeap, she was.

"Attention, all students!" a loudspeaker blared overhead.

"There has been an emergency curfew implemented by the authorities. All staff and students are to leave the school immediately. Stay in your homes, and do not leave until further notice. This has been broadcasted country-wide."


~~~

Zorus padded leisurely towards the demon lord and his daughter. "A legion of demons have been deployed through the portal. Er, the first ten of them vaporized upon contact with it, but the portal is now ready for maximum usage."

Zorus grinned slyly at Delavro. "Actually, they are having quite a bit of fun right now. And I must say, I am just dying to join them. I mean, you should see all those screaming humans. Hillarious. What say you master? Am I given entry permission into the other realm?"

"Yes yes, go now, enjoy yourself. Bring me back a souvenir or two!" Delavro laughed, then turned to Proserpine. "Now, don't start with the whining, but you are not to enter the portal. Not yet, at least. The demons are strong, but the mortals have powerful weapons to be reckoned with. Let the smaller pawns go first. In the meantime, here's something for you to play with," Delavro narrowed his eyes at a looming black spot in the sky.



~~~

Zelastia watched from a distance. "So, it has begun," she whispered, her silver hair rustling in the air that would soon be tainted with the metallic smell of blood.

((a little alteration to Zelastia's history XD ))


Delavro rolled his eyes and sighed. "Really, Proserpine. You let the dragon fly his ugly butt away. Zelastia might have done bet-" the demon lord caught himself and snarled, "Never mind, as good as she is with her powers, she is still a traitor. Let you remember the penalty for treachery."

A frown crossed over Delavro's face as he pondered over why he had not gotten Zelastia executed yet. "Actually," he said with a sly smile, "If you feel like it, go hunt down that sister of yours. Better than sitting around here waiting for those pathetic demons to secure the other realm, I must say. Of course, at your own will," Delavro waved his hand to dismiss his daughter. "I'm going back to the castle now. There's some... things I need to do."

The demon lord whistled, and a large Wyvern swooped down, hissing at the lesser demons. "Here boy," Delavro called. The Wyvern obeyed. He slid up the wyvern's back with ease, then in one powerful flap of its wings, Delavro and his mount were propelled into the sky.


~~~

((sorry if I'm kinda RPing Proserpine for the moment >_< this little backflash is a wee bit impt for the story line))

It was a cold night, one that carried an air of threat and bad omen. Zelastia had worn a thick black cloak that concealed much of her identity. Making her way to the royal kingdom's dungeons, she slipped past, undetected by the guards, and melted into the shadows of the gloomy place.  Turning round a corner, Zelastia halted abruptly as the scent and presence of her sister and father overwhelmed her. To her horror, she realized Proserpine had almost completed the spell that unlocked the cell. Zelastia hoped that she had not arrived too late. With a sudden cry, she launched herself at Proserpine, tackling her with such force that they both went tumbling to the ground. Amidst the struggle between the two sisters, Zelastia lost her momentary focus when Delavro shouted with such rage, it shook her to her core.

"You sniveling brat! HOW DARE YOU!"

At that instant, Proserpine pinned her to the ground, a sneer on her face. "Too late, sister," she whispered in her ear.

There was a deafening explosion as the cell door burst open. The symbols of magic that guarded the cell flickered, then faded. 

No way Zelastia could stand a fight against both her father and Proserpine. No way at all. Kicking Proserpine in the shin, Zelastia bolted out of the dungeons, concealing herself in the shadows once more.

All Zelastia could think as Delavro's voice boomed around the dungeon, was that she failed.


~~~

He had to admit that he was close to wetting his pants, but Luke stuck with screaming instead. Barely managing to keep his wits about, he grabbed a broom from the janitor's storeroom and proceeded to play whack-a-mole with whatever those bloody things were.

Pretty soon - and much to Luke's horror, the area he was in was almost overridden with those creatures. A flourish of movement caught the corner of his eye as he saw something red flash past the door which led into the academic blocks. Instinctively, he turned heel and ran, faster than he had ever done before.

The door was burst open and Luke stumbled through, to catch sight of one of those monsters wrestling atop Amy. With the oh-so-powerful broom still in his hand, Luke charged straight up without a second thought.

WHACK!

The creature's head flew off with an almost delightful squishing sound. Luke was a little stunned by the force of the impact, but hey, people are just so unpredictable when they were in a panic. 

Snarling and hissing filled the air behind them. In a split second, he had yanked Amy up and they were soon tearing through the building at top speed... To reach a dead end. Looking around, he spotted only one unlocked classroom, who's doors seemed as though they could barely stand against the weight of thousands of bloodthirsty monsters. "There!" he yelled, pointing frantically at it. However at the same time, doubt and uncertainty flooded him as he realized how drastic it would be if they were caught stuck in a stupid classroom.

OMG I FORGOT BOUT ZORUS XD will delete this post, and that^ is one crazy length of a post.

"Well it wasn't my fault that you could caught and I had no one to teach me magic for the last 100 years so I had to stick with my old spells or make new ones up." She frowned as she stepped away to let the Wyvern land besides her father. She watched it take flight, leaving her alone only with demons running into the portal with an war cry as the portal swallowed them, teleporting them to the next realm. "Now to find Zelastia...That peace loving brat whom nearly ruined everything." She was temped to summon one of Delavro's other smaller dragon slaves, but remembering last time she did that and got caught, she changed her mind to teleport somewhere where she thinks that her sister will be lurking. Possible that her sister might already be in the other realm, but Delavro wasn't going to allow her to go in there. Remembering the village, she knew that she must be around there. An bright blue aura appeared around her feet and with an blinding flash of light she was already standing in an corn field. The castle wasn't too far away and she was just outside of the village. She had choices: she would either walk in there, kill everyone in her path and hopefully attract her sister or she could just shapeshift into an human and blend in, and search there for her sister.
Thinking that she'll stick with being sneaky, she shifted into an old lady with an single short spell. Already making her way towards the village.

~

"Purrrrfect," the black cat meowed once both demon leaders were gone. Artaxes grinned at his small joke before scanning the castle for the area to shut down the portal. Like some kind of item or something. But he knew that Delavro couldn't be stupid enough to place his portal opener and shutter in this realm, but perhaps hide it somewhere in the other realm and Artaxes really needed to destroy it. For certain it wasn't here. Knowing that it should be in the next realm, he gone into an full sprint at it, dashing out of the shadows and lunging into the portal...

~

Amy didn't have enough time to shout or thank Luke as they were both now running and then were at an dead end. There was only one classroom. Seemed like an half good idea and an half bad idea at the same time. Better then having nothing to protect them. She lunged at the door handle, ripping it open and dragged Luke inside along with her. She wasn't going to waste her time on blocking the door up with objects like they do in movies, but ran over to the window and pulled it open. The next thing she knew that she was climbing outside of it, using the wall to hang on to and the small roof underneath her for her only support. "Come on! We'll get onto the roof and get down into an area where they cannot reach us!" she urgent Luke on as she climbed further away from him. It didn't take too long for her to find an window above her and she used it to pull herself up and then used the last of her strength in her arms to pull herself the rest of the wall up towards the roof. There was still loud screams of people below her, she didn't dare to look down and find them ripped apart and demons feeding on her friends. Now the only person she had left was Luke.

Luke didn't hesitate and hauled himself easily on the roof. He may not look it, but he was pretty strong. Behind him, the door was gradually breaking apart, wooden splinters flying in showers of dust. A hole appeared at its base as a gruesome, badly disfigured face poked its way through, howling with frustration once it caught sight of Luke's disappearing shoe.

It was mayhem and chaos down below. A melody of screams split the air again and again. There were low pitched ones, and high pitched ones - almost enough to form a rather lively orchestra. At the corner of his eye, Luke saw a man get pinned down by one of the creatures. A little weird though, since there were so many scenes such as that, and it was a wonder how Luke had singled out that very specific one. And of course, the reason was simple. One, the monster had its mouth wide opened. Two, black, gooey stuff was dribbling out of its mouth and into the man. He choked and flailed about, his eyes rolled back, showing only its whites as he suffocated while the black, slimy liquid continued to force its way through. It was a horrific scene, but what shocked Luke the most was that suddenly, the creature went limp, slumping motionless on the ground, whilst a look of hunger and lust twisted its way into the man's face. He stood up and shrieked gleefully, a mad look in his eyes as he tore off at an unbelievable speed towards a young child. Perhaps he was wrong, but that seemed like an absolute scene of demonic possession, and the creature seemed to have gained a considerable, new strength when it took control of it's victim.

No way was Luke going to get caught by one of those demons. 

He was so transfixed at that horrible scene, that he didn't realize one of the creatures were trying to tear him off the roof, snapping wildly at his dangling shoe. Crap! Luke panicked, scrambling backwards while the monster snarled and spat, trying to get up the roof while it's monster siblings pushed and shoved from behind, trying to squeeze themselves all at once through the tiny window. 

Turning to Amy with a look of both urgency and apology, he said, "Shall we chance that?" Luke pointed at an almost-connecting roof which led to another building. Problem was, there was a gap. A big one.


~~~

Meanwhile, Zelastia watched in dismay as the dragon (a black cat, of course) jumped into the portal. She gritted her teeth in annoyance. Zelastia had tried to catch up with the dragon after he morphed into a black cat, but apparently, four limbs were better than two. She knew it was Artaxes, the legendary dragon whom she herself had witnessed fighting Delavro and his entire league of demons a hundred years back. He might be the only ally Zelastia had a chance of rallying, that is, if he didn't kill her on the spot. Humans couldn't detect the essence of Delavro's spirit in her, but mighty magical creatures as Artaxes would definitely will. 

Now, however, the question was, should she enter the realm as well? Or would it be better keeping a lookout on the situation in this realm? It was a tough decision Zelastia had to make, but she chose an unbelievably unexpected one. 

Investigate Delavro's stronghold.

~~~


Delavro paced back and forth in his throne room, an evil purple aura emaciating ever so slightly from his body. He was smiling, for reasons known only to himself. 

Soon. Soon, his dreams will be fulfilled, and all good will be vanquished from this pathetic world. Both worlds. And the two things that were about to aid in his conquest...

Proserpine and Zelastia. 

Delavro couldn't enter the portal personally himself, partly due to the humans' technology, and mainly because of the void. The void was basically the gap between both worlds, and the portal gave one guaranteed access to and fro the two realms. Currently, the void was too small to allow a being of power such as him to go through, so only the lesser demons and familiars could. Even now, without any fortification of spells or permanent ways to open the portal forever, it was quickly weakening.

It was all playing out well, how Proserpine and Zelastia's fate were intertwined to contribute to his master plan. Delavro couldn't care less if he betrayed Proserpine. That was the way things worked with Delavro. He was a schemer - an opportunist and a menace to all around him, regardless of kinship. 

It was really simple, actually. Proserpine's death would open the portal, and of course her lousy sister would come to her rescue, the little foolish, soft-hearted moron Zelastia was, and he would kill them both on the spot. Delavro's motive of sending Proserpine to attempt her sister's execution was to allow them to talk. And if by any chance Zelastia were to find out about his actual plans...

Delavro smiled slyly as a suspicious, oddly shaped shadow inched its way towards his forbidden room.

One to open, and one to consume...


~~~

RAAAWWWRR!!! 

It was party time for Zorus as he set about putting little kids on fire, automobiles, libraries, and yep, pretty much about everything. 

"Look, mummy! Doggy campfire!" a boy shrieked excitedly. Dog? Fire? There was a whoosh as Zorus burnt them to a crisp. Silly humans. Well, putting that aside, Zorus was... Lost.  Somehow, he had ended up in an apparently different location than that of his demon kin. After a good ten minutes of incinerating houses, Zorus was disturbed by ten extremely loud and noisy red carts with wheels. He wasn't at the least bit annoyed with them at first- curious, actually, but then they started shooting hoses and hoses of water at him. 

Psssstt! The flames engulfing his body - which WERE his body, started hissing and spluttering. The ridiculous carnage of water didn't last very long, because Zorus wiped out all the humans carrying the long rubber tubes in ten seconds flat.

Now then, where was the portal?

(( just reached home, haven't typed out most of my Charries but here's what I managed to RP today XD haha I did it whenever I could. Well, hope this entertains you for 40 seconds)


Luke's heart almost stopped as Amy took a deaf-defying leap across to dangle precariously at the edge of the roof. Ridiculous, who's bright idea was it to do some crazy stunt like that anyway? Oh, him. Luke groaned inwardly. "I'm doomed. Im doomed. I'm doomed," he thought as he ran, using the momentum to put more power (and hopefully distance) into the jump. 

PLONK! He crumpled on the roof with an unceremonious smack, a few inches away from the edge himself. Not very well done, but survivable. He dragged himself up painfully, with a trembling Amy still grasping tightly to the roof, her knuckles white with the effort. Well, they were alive.

"You okay?" Luke asked automatically. "Oh no, a cat," he said worriedly, making tsk tsk noises to coax it away from where the demon hotspot was. Despite the life-threatening situation they were in, Luke probably felt more inclined to save the cat's life more than his own.

"Uh oh, I think he's about to be kitty chow," Luke stared in horror at a creature behind the poor thing, who had managed to reach the top of the roof due to its leathery bat-like wings, unlike most of his other demon siblings. 

If he joined the Olympics, Luke would have probably won a gold medal for a mind with the most screws loose. 

"HAAAYYYAA!" he leapt, this time landing almost perfectly back on the previous roof. The demon shrieked gleefully at the arrival of lunch. Luke's own lunch almost rose up his throat. If anything, he was stupid. Very stupid. He hadnt brought his broom of doom along. Just then, the demon launched itself at Luke with an ear splitting cry, jaws gaping wide, ready to swallow him whole. 

It wasn't Luke's fault the demon flew at an impossible distance of two metres away at the impact of his punch. It wasnt his fault that the demon went crashing into the school garden. 

Luke's mouth gaped open in astonishment at his own personal accomplishment of beating the creature's ass up good. He couldn't really explain it, but he had suddenly felt confident - confident and powerful, as though as he was given an adrenaline shot. Turning around to face Amy with a confused expression, he mouthed, 'what-the-hell?'.


~~~

Most of the humans had left Zorus alone to his pillaging and destroying of property, mainly because it was close to impossible to touch him. His body was immune to physical harm, and he could only be destroyed by magic, and magic only. 

Already, the streets were deserted as far as the eye could see. Zorus milled around feeling rather bored at the shortage of fresh and screaming humans.

((Yay you posted 8D))

Artaxes purred loudly as he rubbed against the boy's legs. "My hero!" he says in an joking voice as he rubbed against the boy harder. Not really caring about the reaction on their faces to find an talking black cat. "It's just what I need. Both realms are going to be destroyed very very soon if you don't help out and kill Delavro. It's the demon's fault that all of this happened and your school friends were slaughtered, just like he done to my kind and I'm the only black dragon left around here. Now had you heard of the Mystics, boy?" He looked at his confused face then quickly added. "Never mind then, we'll just try and find the shutter and this is all over! Piece of cake. But we'll need to have an numberous amount of battles against demons and mythical creatures, get allies, and kill Delavro. Then this can finally be all over- Oh look boy! There is someone behind you!" he wasn't lying. Another winged demon was right behind Luke.

Amy suddenly felt this urgent to- to attack? She never attacked anyone in her life but her urgent was pushing her too far that she actually felt like she wanted to go over there and rip of the winged demon's head and protect this cat and Luke (she doesn't know that it can talk yet) Lunging off the building, she landed almost perfectly onto the side were the cat and Luke was on. Her nails grew out at unnatural speed into long hooked claws and blue flame danced on top of them. She stopped trying to control herself, allowing herself to go wild and rake her new claws down it's neck, aiming for the windpipe so she can end it's life without too much of an battle. It dropped dead without an single screech. She stood at the dead demon body, very impressed of herself and to her disappointment, the blue fire around her hands gone away and the claws shifted back to normal human fingers.

"Purrrrfect. Two Mystics," the black cat purred at her with an grin on it's face. "Even better then one."

The first emotion she felt was confusion and then she felt the freaking out wave emotion invited itself into her house. The black cat's ears flatten in horror, "No no, don't scream! It really hurts my ears. Everyone else had been screaming today and I don't really like it at all. Now lets go before more come. Already the demons should be reporting to Delavro that I'm messing around with his plans and we are going to be the most wanted people around here."

"Oh Zelastia?" Proserpine called out in an childish voice as she dragged her scythe along the ground besides her. Her footsteps drummed against the ground as she walked down the area. She studied the looks of the stronghold, scanning the area to try and find her sister. "Why won't you come out and play with your big sister, hmm? Surely I can't bite.." she swing her scythe over her shoulder as she looked around, expecting Zelastia to jump out soon at any moment.

"Master! Masterrrr!" a demon minion squeaked loudly as Delavro turned to face it with a look of annoyance. "What? Zorus got his ass extinguished?"

"Err, not really sire, what I wanted to tell you was-"

"You, get me a cup of jell-o-blood," Delavro snapped at one of the "housekeeper demons", who were always bound to be around the demon lord to attend to his needs.

"Sire-"

"Be quiet, I need to drink, my sugar level is getting low," Delavro growled at his minion whilst snatching a silver cup filled with thick purple liquid from the returning housekeeper demon.

"The dragon slipped through the portal without our notice!" The demon screamed, unable to hold it in any longer.

"WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAT?!?!?!?" Delavro spat his drink out, dirtying the polished marble floor. "HOW?! WHY?! WHEN!?" The demon lord was so angry that his silver cup started tarnishing as he clenched it in his fist.

"Because-"

"NEVER MIND, just send the hellfire wraiths after him, and make sure you send A HUNDRED OF THEM, AM I CLEAR?!" Delavro screamed, saliva splattering like showers of love.

"But sire, we don't have a hundred of them!"

Delavro gave his minion a death stare.

"OKAY OKAY, A HUNDRED THEN!" It squealed, tripping and stumbling over his legs as he exited the room in a hurry.

~~~


Luke was supposed to be feeling totally impressed - okay well, extremely shocked actually, if not for the talking cat. "What. On. Earth. Are. You?" Luke recoiled in horrid surprise. He didn't know which was crazier, Amy's record-breaking nails, or a talking narnian cat. And "black dragon"? This must be one deluded kitty. Scowling at the furry critter who was studying Amy and him with mischievous eyes, Luke said, "What is going on? Is this really happening? I mean, not just the talking cat thing, but all this?" He gestured at the streets below them, which was nothing but gore and the absolute scene of doomsday.

~~~


Zelastia used her power over shadows, and merged into its murky depths. She managed to slip past her father without him noticing his presence - she thought it a little strange, but it didn't occur to her that something was off. Pushing open the double doors leading into Delavro's forbidden quarters, she stepped gingerly inside, keeping a lookout for magical traps. One wrong move, and it might activate. This part of the castle had always been out of bounds to her and even Porserpine, and it excited her a little to be exploring it firsthand. Though the task at hand seemed to dull the moment considerably.

Inside the room, a dull magical light glowed dimly, casting shadows which danced and flickered. There wasn't anything impressive about the room, and it was in fact really empty, and really bare. Except for a dark oak table in the middle.

Zelastia pored over the massive contents on the ridiculously messy table, filled with notes, familiar anatomy analysis of Delavro's demons, and... she paused abruptly as her eyes locked onto a piece of paper. Porserpine… No... Zelastia couldn't believe it. Her father was going to betray her sister? Her stomach tied into a queasy knot as shivers went down her spine. No, it wasn't possible! But then and again, Delavro was a demon lord after all... She had to warn Porserpine and get her on her side.

"Oh Zelastia!" Porserpine's voice floated down the hallway, as Zelastia froze rooted to the spot... Could she trust her sister?

"I'm afraid so," the black cat says sadly as his tail twitched side to side. He ignored the screams of terror behind him as he placed his focus on the girl and boy. "Delavro managed to work out how to get into your realm and now is trying to take over it so he can claim both of our worlds. Now if we don't stop them, all of us are going to die or either serve him." Amy blinked in confused. Who was this Delavro? Two realms? Whoever this was, he sounded really dangerous... "I'm Artaxes, and I'm not an talking black cat- no wait... I am. BUT my true form is an talking black dragon." She raised her eyebrow at him. Was he joking at all? With that look on his face, it seemed pretty serious. "I would just love to shapeshift into it, but only when we need it right now. I want to hide and go sneaky but my true form is far too big for this place and everyone would just love to hurt an dragon these days, you won't believe it. Now come along."
Artaxes jumped back to the other side of the roof with ease before padding away. Amy just followed after him, leaping off the roof and managed to make it there unharmed before chasing after the black cat. Artaxes peered over his shoulder to check if they were following. Then he jumped off, landing on an tree on the opposite side of the killing battle in the school and climbed down. Amy did the same without much trouble and it didn't take too long for them to quickly get underneath an roof designed to keep the shade off passing people. He paused in his tracks all of the sudden, sniffing the ground then the air. His eyes widen in slight fear but mostly it was in annoyance. "Delavro sent someone whom I really hate... I don't want to find out who, lets go into an run now, hey?" Then the black cat or dragon in cat form gone into an sprint down the courtyard of the school into the sea of buildings, dashing down the alleyways along with Amy tagging Luke along.

~

"There you are!" Proserpine called out like an child just had found her lost dog. Her scythe dropped to the floor loosely in her hand as she raised the other hand towards Zelastia. An unseen rope coiled around her neck, lifting her off her feet to allow her to dangle in air. Not like her magic was going to allow her sister to choke, but to make her not in the best position to shot back spells at Proserpine. She can see that her little sister had been looking though these boring old plans that her father had made ages ago or something on this lonely oak desk in the middle of the room. She circled Zelastia, dragging her scythe on the floor behind her. An devilish smirk was sitting on her face. "I hadn't seen you in ages, sister. Looking though daddy's plans isn't going to help you much, isn't it? Is it going to save your life while I can just choke you to death just with an flick of my finger?" She didn't lower her hand yet, but twitched her fingers to tease Zelastia an little.

"Please Proserpine, you have to trust me on this one. Father plans to use you as a sacrifice to open the portal permanently!" Zelastia snatched the paper from the table and waved it in Proserpine's face. "Look, I am all yours to capture, but just read this once at least?" Zelastia looked at her sister pleadingly.


~~~

The black, billowing smoke from the raging fires around him had almost gone away, which allowed Zorus to smell better. Which was probably the reason how he had managed to catch the scent of three very interesting - and delicious scents. Following his nose, he made a slow leisurely gallop towards its source, then stopped abruptly. Zorus wrinkled his nose in disgust as he spied four Hellfire Wraiths lumbering towards his 'three interesting scents'. He hated those creatures, since they were also powerful creatures of fire that could match his strength. Slinking into a dark alleyway, he watched with his sharp eyes at their each and every movement, waiting for a chance to... Zorus wasn't very sure what he would do though.

~~~

Luke was rather reluctant to believe Mr Fluffy the Dragon, but as he looked at the chaos beneath him, he was obliged to. When Artaxes had dashed off so suddenly, Luke had to sway away from his thoughts in an effort to keep up with the feline, who was obviously running at a much faster speed then he or Amy could. 

Suddenly, a fiery ball of flames whizzed past Luke's ear. At the corner of his eye, he spotted another sailing directly over Amy's head. Luke should have been compelled to run even faster, but he dropped to the ground as he felt a searing heat behind his back. With his stomach on the ground, the bolt of fire flew almost leisurely over him, barely scorching the boy. Luke twisted his head back, and spotted four extremely hideous, and extremely semi-transparent creatures. Was that lava dribbling out of their eyes, nose and mouth? Scarlet red pus were oozing from their forms from weird looking boils all over their bodies. God that's disgusting. Worse still, those things were F-A-T. Holy crap.

Proserpine just laugh once before snatching the piece of paper out of Zelastia's hand. She peered down to the notes, studying the pictures and reading though the words carefully. She raised an eyebrow as she finished it and her big smirk turned into an low frown.

"Hmp, it does appear that he wants me dead..." she says disappointing voice as she glared back up to her sister in mid air. The plans that her father made explained it all. She didn't find it so clear at first but now she realizes that he wouldn't be able to get though the portal unless she becomes some kind of sacrifice for him or something. Since she and Zelastia are both sisters, there is an possible chance that if she dies as well, Delavro might also get though. But he didn't kill her in the past so it might just only be Proserpine. Now comes the hard question, should she trust her own sister? Zelastia is one of those good guys which are trying to avoid opening the portal, so there explains an reason why she should team up with her or something to avoid her own death.

"Very well, come down," Proserpine lowered her hand, allowing her sister to touch the floor again.

Only if Skylar was here, he'll think up of the most brilliant plan on how to kill over weight demons, Artaxes thought to himself silently. He missed that angel awfully a lot now. Skylar would just use his special pixel dust and they can just teleport out of here or he can just kill the Hellfire Wraith with an few spells or something. These Mystics aren't very helpful right now, they are like dying because he is failing to protect them against the Hellfire Wraith's flames nor can defend themselves at all.

Now the dragon form has to come out. Dodging an fire ball, he meowed loudly. Soon his sweet little meows became an loud thunderous roar that attracted everyone's attention. He felt himself growing at unnatural speed into he was at his large dragon height and jet black handsome scales shot out of his fur, replacing it. His cat body shifted into the large black dragon taller then the school with glowing blood red eyes.

Without wasting time, he smacked one of those Hellfire Wraiths in flight, sending it down with an defeating splat noise that disturbed him.

"You pick the wrong dragon to mess with," he snarled lowly as he snaked his neck tried to enclose his jaws around one of those monsters. It just narrowly missed his teeth by inches before clawing at his muzzle. Yep, he is really missing the angel right now.

~

Amy heard an scream deafening her ears, her own scream. She was screaming because of the monsters swooping down, attacking Luke. At first she didn't know what to do. Either she could run away and leave her friends to die, not counting the cat dragon thingie. Or she could just play brave and try and do something useful. Artaxes was battling the things off them, using his wing like an shield over Luke and herself.

"More are going to come, we gotta keep moving," hissed the black dragon as he lashed his spiny tail at 2 of those fat ugly monsters with lava drooling down it from every direction. There goes their plan at being 'sneaky'. Now it looks like they had to go around beating up everything in their path noisily.
