Liran walked a dimension known to few and traveled by even less. It enabled him to cross a continent in five seconds, or to enter a locked room. In this dimension, he smelled the familiar tingle of his other, former mistress's magical scent; same, yet not the same as Amara's.
He was about to leave when Amara's voice echoed in his mind. Liran, you are commanded by Lord Raziel to find his sister as well. Don't come back until you do.
There is no need, my lady, Liran squeaked. She is here, with your sister. As he said.
Amara could barely contain herself; it was all she could do to stop herself from shouting with glee. Very well, Liran. Come back before they sniff you out.
~~
Aiya had opened her mouth to answer Shikyo, but suddenly whirled around, her eyes scanning for something that none of the others could see.
What is it? Shreya asked worriedly.
It was a visitor from home, Aiya answered grimly, and by "home" she didn't mean Etsuko. Don't worry. He's gone now.

Faithyn stood in front of an inn. Its lights shining, the phosphorescent glow cascaded off Faithyn's pale features, causing her hair to shine with such luster. Just a brief glare of silver couldve fooled anyone from earth's real silver with the plain color. Yet this was radiant as ever and seemed ethereal. The human stood there, eyeing the inn with misty orbs of light. Her two eyes seemed to be moving unnaturally, for they seemed to be moving as mist would in actuality.
Faithyn stood there, hands on hips, pondering whether-or-not to enter the inn and check into a room. It would be nice to stop for a little while, so far her journeying had brought her no where but the quiet whisperings of phoenixes being spotted amongst the areas. The girl couldve only hoped to witness one. Itd be nice...to believe in fairy tales...she thought and then grinned. As a child, Faithyn had only heard simple stories from her village's storytellers and elder peoples.
Though, her own birthing was evidence of fairy tales coming true. According to her mother, Faithyn was a human...and a demon. "Itd only explain these features..." her voice resonated with melody in a deep natural tone. Sighing, she entered through the doorway of the inn, her hair flowing loosely behind her.
((That okay for an introduction?))

Shiro smiled and sat in a chair only a few feet from the one Shikyo had sat in. Hotaru fluttered from the chair she had been previously beeing perching on and onto Shiro's shoulder where she began to croon her red and orange feathers, occasionally running her beak over the few green feathers at the tips of her wings.
Shiro reached up to the phoenix and stroked her head. She hummed and paused.
"Thank you, very much, Aiya," he replied to Aiya's statement and Hotaru offered her gratitude, as well.
He was about to add to his reply, but he stopped in the middle of taking a breath to speak when Aiya whirld around and and appeared to be looking for something.
"Aiya?"
(( Yes, tis fine Trepidational. ^.^ ))

Aiya opened her mouth, was about to say something, then settled with, "Umm... I might just be paranoid. I need to go check on something... " Alone, she added with a glare to Shreya, and left the three phoenixes, mage, and vampire in the main room while she entered her bedroom.
Standing in front of the fireplace in her room, Aiya blew gently into the fireplace, her eyes glowing bright, ruby red, tracing signs in the coals with her bare hand. Finally, she stripped down to a tight black shirt and pants, removing her shoes but leaving her jewelery, sweating in the heat, and stepped into the fireplace.
The fire died behind her.
In the alternate dimension, Aiya surveyed the area. She appeared to be walking on nothing but grey mist, with a gaping black hole behind her to signify where she had stepped out. All of her fireplaces were enchanted to be portals... just in case. Aiya knew the location of her other portal in this dimension, but took the long way around, sneaking behind the imp who was about to teleport out and grabbing him around the neck. Shiro's and Shikyo's voices drifted faintly through the portal, which wasn't active because Aiya hadn't activated it, but nonetheless worked slightly because of the roaring fire she had going in the room.
"What are you doing here, Liran?" she demanded, shaking him. "The family never sends you out on errands." Her eyes narrowed. "Ah. They assigned you a new mistress..." She made a slashing motion at the other portal, and stepped through, still half-throttling the imp. Shreya squawked.

Faithyn sat at an empty table in the corner of the bar. The bar was a bustle of people, many with strange features. There were red eyed men, green haired women, sophisticated pale beings, and others galore. It was a strange sight, one that interested her, and one that made her feel oddly...comfortable. In this atmosphere, she felt respectedly satisfied and accepted. Though, she could not help but notice the stares she received as she entered the tavern.
A small creature hobbled besides her, standing at a height of two feet and a half. It eyed her curiously, shaking its head and leaving the bar. Never had she seen such an oddball of a creature, man or women. "I thought I was weird..." she muttered under her breath.
Pushing her silver locks from her face, Faithyn made note of what drink she wanted. Placing a few coins on her table, she accepted the drink that was delivered to her and drank it slowly. Her ears were open and attentive for any news whatsoever. Faithyn dropped the cup silently on the table as a sudden sentence caught her attention.
"Tis what I be hearin'. Some silver headed man be walkin' around town, some say he be a-searchin' for something...or some'un." The man was a dirty looking fellow, with aged hair and a crooked nose. In a way, he looked nothing more than a scoundrel, but any stories or rumors were to be taken into mind. Faithyn needed to find him one way or another...Yes, she would find him indeed.
Doesnt matter how long it takes...Ill discover anything...her thoughts not interrupted by anything, not even the noise and laughter in the full tavern.

(( Sorry, for the past week or so my computer has had low virtual memory and a load of other crap.... well I finally have that fixed and can post regularly =3 .. ))
Shikyo's Jade eyes narrowed at the Imp, watching as Aiya spoke to it. She caught a scent of something as well as an unforgettable aura that had attatched itself to the creature from her brother's castle. Anyone who had been near Raziel had an extra scent as well as black spot on their aura, looking like eyes almost behind their shoulders.
"Aiya!" she busted out, stepping up behind the other girl. "It seems our siblings are together ... he smells of Raziel .. and there is a distict mark on his aura..." she looked to the other woman in silence for a few moments. "...what are you going to do with him.." she eyed the creature, something evil was brewing in her mind from the sneer on her face and glint in her eyes.
Mia hoovered behind Shikyo, eyes glinting as well though she seemed to be trying to persuade her mother of a different idea.

'Perhaps returning to the Heartland wasn't such a great plan...' The young lycanthrope mused, leaping up against an ancient oak to avoid the biting Battle Hatchet of the bandits' leader. Seven men surrounded the wisened tree, each bearing varying styles of weaponry.
With a wild shriek, the lithe bandit leaped upwards, wrapping both hands around a powerful tree branch, snapping out his heels to cause some damage to the youth's face. Surprised as his feet passed through air, his grip slipped from the wood, and he began a momentous descent towards the forest floor.
Upon dropping onto his palms from the vertical surface of the tree's bark skin, Matthew jackhammered his heels into the thug's cerebral cortex and spine, effectively putting him down like the filthy animal he was. Using the kick to gain momentum, he casually resumed his bipedal stance, one arm sliding behind his back, while the hand of the other rose up to flick a universal taunt of 'bring it.'

Lilith slowly made her way to the inn noting some distinguishable features; the place wasn't too big, in fact it seemed to fit in comfortably among the houses around, and it basically looked like any regular house except for the swinging sign above the doorway with the inn's name which had been beaten by snowstorms, rainstorms, and any other natural disaster that had occurred in this town so you couldn't even read what it had said. As she got closer she could hear from the closet room music and many people talking. It seemed not only was this an inn but also a bar for those who wanted to be among people or just have a good time away from their own lives. Opening the door slightly she slipped in not wanting to cause a big disturbance. No one seemed to pay her much attention but she saw a short, stout man walk up to her with an apron on, the red cheeks of someone who had drank much in his time, and a jolly good-natured smile on his face.
"How can I help ya miss?" he asked looking up at her. She replied cooly,
"I would just like a room for the night but for now I was wondering if I could sit at a table that was kind of away from the noise with a hot cup of tea." His smile, which she had thought couldn't get any bigger, widened at her in a way that reminded her of how a father might smile at his daughter,
"Of course I got just the place for ya little missy!" He led her through some tables with more rowdy occupants before she got to her "perfect place". It was set in a little alcove away from the noise but still close enough to observe. She smiled slightly as she sat down in her chair and handing the barkeep a few gold coins for her room and tea she watched as he swaggered off. Leaning back in her chair she closed one eye and continued to look out the other gazing at the people around her who didn't even seem to know they had a new occupant. Closing both eyes she sighed and settled in a kind of mediativive sleep.

Turning, Matthew dashed back at the tree, running up its vertical length to flip off backwards, pivoting his entire body in midair as the Bandits closed in. With a distinct hissing sound, his black leather gloves and steel, pointed-toe boots collided thickly with bodies, sending men flying in every direction as he landed easilly on his palms, using his gained momentum to lash out in a final whip-kick.
As the last, senseless body hit the ground, the silver-haired youth rose back to his feet, dusting himself off casually as he headed deeper into the forest.

The voices of the other guests faded in the back of her mind as she feel deeply into her mediative slumber, not really asleep yet not really awake all at the same time. She just let herself be lost in all of the energies around her of all the people, in this dream-like place she could touch these people's energies or as others would call them auras. As she would touch them they would instantly react some burning brighter their intent to scare her off while others seemed to get smaller and instead cower away from her own bright aura. Lost in these energies she began to think about her own tribe of people, the ones that had been mercilessly slaughtered by a couple of rogue demons in the woods that had once been her home. They hadn't been her real family but they were the only "family" she had ever known in her life. She had been different from all of them and she had known from the beginning that they hadn't been her real parents yet they sure acted like it. They had cared for her as if she had been their own human child instead of whatever she really was. Her tribe had consisted mainly of humans some half demons here and there in the bunch. When they had been slaughtered she had been so lost and confused not really knowin where to go, just really knowing how to survive in the wilderness. It was at the age of fourteen when she heard about the phoenixes and decided to search for these legendary birds, they intrigued and they gave her life a new meaning.
"One day," she murmured softly her lips barely moving as she spoke so that nobody in the whole inn had really heard what she said instead of the air that rustled around her. One day she would find a phoenix...

((Sorry I haven't been online! I was banned because I got a C in history sweatdrop I'm using the school computer))
Aiya looked at the imp with distaste. "I figured as much. But sending out spies proves to be a double-edged weapon... he will lead us straight to Raziel and Amara, won't you, Liran?" she asked sweetly, tightening her grip on the imp's neck. "Otherwise, I'll let Jade do whatever she wants with you."

"I don't think that's such a good idea...." she spoke quietly, looking at the imp. "..if you wish to confront the two, go on ... I'd like to stay away from my brother for a little while..." she said quietly once more, glancing at her katana then to the imp again. "..perhaps you could rig him where he will return when we need him to take us to your sister and my brother.."

Shiro stared in disgust at the creature that Aiya grasped by the neck. What a terribly disgusting magical aura. It made him want to gag and leave the room.
"You know, I really don't see the harm and forcing him to lead us there and infiltrate Raziel's hideout as spies ourselves, but we'll have to find a way to keep the thing quiet. It could help us if we don't get caught."
Hotaru fluttered over to the imp and jabbed it in the chest with her pointy beak. "This is an intriguing creature. Mayhaps it is vulnerable to flames?" She directed her telepathic voice to everyone in the room, especially to the imp in particular.
"I'm not sure," he replied.
"Then perhaps claws?" A malicious look in her eyes appeared. Hotaru had always been able to use that look, but it was very rare when she did. Shiro could never force such a frightning look on his face.
"How unfair..." he told her privately. "Why can't I do that?"
"Because you can't."

"Go if you want to. I'll stay." she said, turning her back to them and moving towards her jacket on the chair. "..My brother could sense me anywhere.. and if I were in his castle it would only be a matter of time before he would find me. I warn you.. You may be able to take out your sister Aiya, but my brother is a whole other story.." she said quietly, her coat in hand, eyes on the other two.
Mia fluttered over to her, perching on her shoulder, though a sad look took to her eyes as she looked at her sisters. 'talk her out of it, please...' she spoke to everyone except Shikyo.
