*The lone demon walked until he saw some ancient ruins, he stepped into them, the sand blowing hard against his back.*

*He found a place around the ruins that actually would serve as a shelter against the wind. He layed down under the half-torn shelter, and planned out what he was going to do.*

Five minutes and several broken bones later Shouyin had disposed of the troupe. The man stepped back, either frightened, or impressed.
"Now, where can I find ArchAngel?"
"Hmm, ArchAngel you say? That name is of druidic heritage, I suggest you look towards the north."
"Thank you," Shouyin turned and began to walk off."
"Hey! What do I get in return!?"
"Your life b*****d."
He rushed up to his room and grabbed his things, suiting up his sword he leaped out the window and ran to the north with the greatest speed he could muster.

*Geo ran his hand against the walls, he felt something carved their. The letters were in an ancient script, forgotten by most. Geo read the ancient dialect, and grinned to himself.* At last, the secret is out, I know how to regain my former power... the Elemental Crystal, that was the original source of my power, but I know that about the time that it broke, I lost most of my original abilities. My Earth Body techniques were reduced to a single spell. All I have to do, is come into contact with this stone, and go to the places around the world where the Elemental Energy is most potent for the earth... for here, it is the desert, a technique that I already remember. Time to get out of here. *With a laugh, Geo stepped outside, and had his body become similar to sand, before blowing away in the wind.*

*staring around cautiously, Toni pushed open the rickety door of a small, sandy shelter and let out a long, high whistle, waiting for an answer. She grinned as three small heads poked out from a back room* Toni's back and look what she brought *turning her bag upside down, treasures spilled out to cover the small, splintered table*
"Whatta ya bring me back"
"I wanned something too!"
"Me too, I wanned something pretty"
*Toni smiled, exasperated by their chirps of joy. Reaching into her pocket she pulled out a small piece of cloth and held it behind her back as she knelt down* Who wanted the bracelet? *the first girl began to jump up and down wildly and Toni pulled out a thin gold bracelet with glecks of emeralds in it then pulling out a necklace with a tiny silver dagger on it and tossing it to the boy. The last girl frowned as Toni stood up and held her hands out* All out, guess I forgot your present. "You forgot about me" *smiling broadly, Toni flipped her hand down, letting a small ring roll into her palm, slidding the thin gold and silver band onto her first finger* Now what do my little pickpockets have for me today and where's the guardians? *digging around the small house they brought forth tiny trinkets nobody'd notice were gone and when they did they'd think they'd dropped them somewhere* "Guardians are in town, somthing 'bout a big job" *smiling she patted them all and turned to leave* I'm gonna go find out what this 'big job' is, you guys stay here. You know the routine if I don't come back. "Yup, sell everything and practice our trade till we get out own prodigities" Protigies but that's good enough, be sure to turn a good profit on that stuff too *waving, Toni started into town*

*Toni had barely made it into town before the forboding sense of danger stung her nerves. Something was amiss here and she didn't like it in the least. Something told her to run like hell for the kids and get them as far away as she could but the louder, more curious half told her to keep going, search for the guardians. Screams erupted, people ran and someone took a swing at her. Narrowly missing getting hit she stepped back and swung her staff hard into the man's stomach, watching him crumble to the ground. He'd barely hit the ground when she lifted him off the ground and slammed him against the nearest wall, scaring the man even more that she wasn't using her hands* What's going on here? Tell me or I swear you'll fell more than my staff hitting your stomach next time *The man quiverd with terror as she dropped him* "Thieves, the thieves of the desert came into town and tried to take the demonic seal but it's broken. We're all in danger" *her jaw dropped as she heard the news, she knew very well that thing wasn't a demon seal but a rather potent poison bomb used in the event a demon attacked. Running as fast as her legs would carry her she stumbled into the empty square, her stomach heaving as she saw the aftermath. Nothing remained of anyone or anything but a spray of red on everything. She fell to her knees, screaming as loud as she could until she saw the necklace lying in the blood and dirt. Aderlyn's most prized. A shudder ran through her as she grabbed it and ran from the city*

*Toni had barely made it from the city gates when her stomach clenched like a fist had been rammed through her. The mob was running for the hill, just over which was the shelter* No, oh god no *closing her eyes she knew she could call them if was all a matter of straining her powers and focusing though she'd never had to summon a human to her before. She could feel them shaking with terror as she called them* Come here, just a little closer. Come on, almost there *suddenly two tiny bodies smashed her to the ground, their cries ringing in her ears*
"Lizina, the mob got Lizina and she's crying and I couldn't help her and I dunno what to do Toni" *Toni grew cold with fear as she realized she didn't have the strength to summon another person and get these two out of the area. It'd kill her or one of them if not all when the villagers found out what she'd been doing. Closing her eyes she called to Lizina, dregging up the last of her strength only to collapse into darkness*

*coming around, Toni had never felt so much pain in all her life as she rolled over in the sand, alone and very much so incopasitated* I'm gonna die here, god let me die quickly I can't take this guilt *lying there she could only shake with rage at the thought tha she'd failed... yet again she'd failed and this time her own protectors no less*

*groaning quietly, Toni's hand ran over the large jug of water on her hip as she tried to drag it to her dry mouth. Staring out over the hot earth she could see a figure, praying it was an illusion* I'm sorry Lizina, I'm sorry everyone *she mumbled to herself quietly as she slowly passed out from the heat and exhaustion*

The jostling shocked Toni from her death-like state as the decrepid village loomed closer, the smoke still billowing from the remains of the house. Thrashing as violently as she could with the little strength she had she managed to fall from the girl's grasp, moaning as she tried to crawl away

"Not.. there" she wheezed, still thrashing weakly. It was worse than entering a dark room for her at that moment, the blood and screams still tearing at her "Just drop me, I'm not worth the trouble. I deserve to die out here" she said, trying to roll off the girl's shoulders
