"I was born ready...And naked." kasei said sarcasically. the two surikens that circled him suddenly broke off and flew up, and at the enemy. when the two weakons got within spear range, however, they exploded in a cloud of black smoke, releasing thousands of tiny, poison tipped needles that flew at the enemies, aimng for the cracks and holes in the armor..."heh, I am too good, watch this!" kasei said, wanting to kil a lot of enemies, two more shuriken, medium sized and covered in flames, appeared and circled kasei, and just like the other two, they flew at the enemy, also exploding and this time releasinf arrows...

OOC: if I cloudn't do that, PM me and I'll edit it, and release the attack later...

OOC: No, it's fine, there's enough enemy.

IC: Ruin leaped off of the mound, Nitara on his back, she pulled out a singer, twirling it on the tips of her fingers. She called over her shoulder, "You might want to be careful, there'll be a lot of odd things going around," She suddenly ducked as some icicles almost collided with her forehead, she laughed, Ruin jumped into the enemy.

Ruin sifted through the enemy, heading for the general, where Nitara had said to head. There was business she needed to attend to.

Lyra faced the others, "Anyone want a ride?" She asked, she thought that it was a wierd feeling, not to have her brother nearby. The enemy surged closer, and all the Keishians drew their weapons, (If they had any) and collided with the approaching soldiers.

Evania and Ivaera Sylence, were being led out of the dungeon, the one they had been in for years. The guards that surrounded them had special clothes on, to resist any attacks they may use. They grabbed the wemon tightly and pushed them through the intertwining corridors that made up the great Castle of Shadow, the one no one had ever escaped from. Besides Evania, twice, when she was a teenager.

"So, they're burning the gift..." She said, wincing. "Wonder why they need us." Her sarcasm was unexpected by Ivaera, and she sighed.

"Evanie, really, you shouldn't be sarcastic." Ivaera snapped, after getting roughly pushed on the ground.

"I don't really think it matters anymore Ivy," Evanie replied calmly, walking fast, the guards practically snapping at her heels.

"That's a good point, but--" Ivaera was interrupted by a guard telling them nicely to shut their damn holes, and walk faster.

Sudden light blinded them, they walked on hard dirt. Evanie yelped, it had been so long since she had walked on real earth, REAL earth. The voices of thousands of swallowers cheering clouded her ears, she looked around hesitantly. An army...
So, burning the gift was just for show...

kasei was charging towards the enemy, dagger and sword on fire, he performed twin darkness, witch not only made him invisible, but allowed him to move at high speeds, he cut through the enemies ranks easilly, cutting down all opponnents and burning them in the process, more giant shurikens appeared above the rear ranks of the enemy, but unlike the other two, these ones flew throuh the enemies ranks, cutting up the enemies soilders. kasei was now in the middle of the enemy army, and as such, he performed kamikazi barrage, letting loose a ton of flames fromm his body in all directions, with enough force to kill off a quarter of the enemies army...

OOC: sorry for any god-modding, but you forgot to tell me how many soilders my needle-arrow attack killed...

OOC: I don't know, fifteen-thirty maybe, the King puts the weakest in the front, there's more armies where this came from... I'd say in this first arrangement there's about... 1,526 or so soldiers, you just about killed 200, would you say that's enough?

IC:

Nitara applauded Kasei's fighting in her mind, and Ruin looked upon him with interest. Nitara quickly brought her hands down on his shoulders, interrupting his thoughts, and he darted off again. Nitara cut down everyone in her path, the enemies armor was weak at the neck, around the arms, and by the waste. Soon, with the Keishians fighting (and the otherworlders) half the army was gone, and when Nitara approached the general, a cry went out. The cry was echoed through the ranks of Keishians, and than another cry went up with the Swallowers.

"Laroc Na Reki!" Cried the Keishians.

The Shadow Swallowers cried out the acceptance, "Nar, Korak, Ju I"

The first cry now echoed through the ranks of both armies, "LORAC NA REKI!" The first row of each army walked calmly up to the enemy, as if fighting was now not happening. The other rows all dropped their weapons.

"Nooot Now....." Nitara groaned, she sighed and shrugged her shoulders. "Of all times..." Ruin quickly darted over to where Kasei was, the enemies around him had all dropped their weapons, and were staring at him as if expecting him to do something.

"It's a tradition, I'm surprised their following it." Nitara stated plainly as Ruin skidded before Kasei. Nitara stepped off, "Laroc Na Reki means the forces will duel. Laroc and Reki were twins, and they were both on different sides of an army in a great battle over freedom and power. They stopped the battle and began dueling, and since then it has always been a tradition to duel at the midpoint of every battle. I didn't think the Swallowers would honor it, I'll tell you the details some other time. Choose someone to duel, and make it quick." She jumped back on Ruin's back and he bounded off once more. A Swallower in crowd that surrounded Kasei picked up his weapons, he tore off his armor so that only his black tunic was on his body. He walked up to Kasei, "Laroc Na Reki?" He said questionly.

She approached Sovelis, Kayla, and Cathy one at a time, telling them the same story, and as she did this she watched as the Keishians paired up with Swallowers and began orderly duels. Than she drew her singer again, heading once more for the general, this actually might not be a bad time for the Laroc Na Reki.

Evanie heard the calls, coming from far in the distance. She laughed, so they made it to the mid point of the first battle. Her laugh rang out and hung on the drab, humid air. She looked around, everyone around her was hushed and whispering. A dark figure was looming behind her...

She turned quickly, and Ivaera did too, simutaniously, to stare into the face of the Shadow Lord.

"Okame," Evanie snapped, her voice portraying hatred. She clenched her fists, ready to lash out, but the guard quickly bound her arms together with tight cord.

"Adress me properly as the King," His voice was dark, but he appeared only to be a teenager.

"Yes, oh King who's father was weak. Oh King who's father I killed, oh King who does not rightly deserve the throne." She spat at him, it landed on his face. "You disgust me, Kazuki's son."

Okame slapped her across the face, hard, she fell to the ground. She struggled back up. "Why don't you SING for us Evania, it would help a lot. And it might just save the gift." Evanie looked up at Ivaera, who shook her head.

"Never," Evanie spat at him.

"Well than, burn it." He said.

OoC: *anime sweat drop* I've been off too long. I need to stop that.

IC: "So, we just choose someone to duel with? Interesting, I'm going to have fun with this," Cathy said, rubbing her hands together. She had an evil glint in her eye. "Ready to get this party started, Kayla?"

A small nod came from Kayla as she stood next to her friend.

Another two swallowers approached Kayla and Cathy, removing their armor and picking their weapons back off the ground. "Laroc na Reki?" They asked the girls, almost politely.

The Swallower beside Kasei asked again, "Laroc na Reki?"

"Don't know what they just said, but I don't care!" Cathy shouted. She had her sword positioned right above her head and her free arm pointing out at the challanger.

Kayla didn't have any weapons, but she was able to fight without them, so she just got in a fighting position. She slipped her left foot behind and her hands were poised in a martial arts way.

Nettlyn muttered something behind them, "You have to abide by the rules, so I'll call the shots. I may be blind, but I can see how you guys are dueling perfectly fine." She walked in between Kayla and Cathy, and the two Swallowers. She said to Cathy and Kayla, "I'm going to say three things in Keishian, and than you run to the center," She nodded at the swallower across from Kayla and he dropped his own weapon, getting into an odd and different fight poise, "and clash swords and or hands. I say two more things in Keishian, and than you take a step or jump back and than fight. The rules are strict. With the sword duel, if you get hit than you must start over with a new round, the first person to hit the other five times wins. With the martial arts duel, to win a round you must hit the other person in the torso, abdomen, and the surrounding area, a kick must hit above the waist to win the round, if it doesn't, it just hurts. Ready?" (OOC: Me and my cousin do this all the time, except the swords are sticks, but every one of our knuckles bleed when we're done, we fought for five hours straight on one round before. No one would win!)

"Eioene," One, "Ouwtoe," Two, "Eithri" Three. Nettlyn signalled for them to run to the center.

"THE SEVEN HELLS?!?" kasei yelled back, then made his sword vanished, and pulled out his other dagger..."Sure, i'll duel you!" he said, then began what looked like a summon, and sure enough, three moblins and phantom ganon appeared at his side, ready for combat, he gave them orders in infernal, and they walked off to duel someone, then kasei turned back to his apponent, "LETS GO!!!" he said, then prepared to fight...

Meanwhile....


Sovelis had been running. he was going to use stealth to help and reek havock. While the main battle had been going down, Sovelis was trying to get deeper into the enemy lines, but he just didn't see any openings to go threw. "I should have stayed with Nitara...Naw...She probably thinks I'm usless. I can hardly use magic, and my own powers aren't even workingin this world. I still have Sovel, but Nitara said not to use him" LET ME OUT! I WILL CRUSH THE ENEMY! replied the demon. "No! I can't let you out. I won't loose control agian!" Sovelis said as he snuck closer to the enemy troops, the ones that didn't expect any of Nitara's forces to be near...

Cathy ran at the person. Her fighting style was wild. It seemed like she was looking for luck to win instead of winning through skills. Seems like someone hasn't been brushing up on their sword skills.

For Kayla, she was the careful type fighting. She made sure of her feet movement. Her hands were flat palms. She was putting force into the hits. From the looks of it, she wasn't aiming to actually hurt this person badly, but injure them pretty badly.
