"Thanks!" said Topaz turning around. "Wow, I love yours. It goes together very well. I'm ready to go whenever you are, but there's no hurry. Take your time! Oh, and when you're ready..." Topaz tossed Emelin the bag of diamonds.
.: You're too nice. :. .: Huh? Why would you say that? :. .: Cause your trusting someone with all your money. Someone without money who could just run off with it :. .: First off, its not all my money, only most. And second, its not just anyone. It's Emelin, another Knight, and I just feel like I can trust her, ok? And third, just because she doesn't have much money doesn't mean she would run off with it. Just because she's low on times, doesn't mean she's a theif. :. .: A theif? You mean like you were with... :. "How do you know that! Anyways, you don't need to bring that up. That's not the point. And for the record, I didn't have any money then." Topaz burst out, forgetting to mind speak. .: I looked in your mind, remember? And raising your voice is not polite, especially for a lady. Mind-speak. :. "I'm not a lady, and I don't have to mind speak if I don't want to." .: You should. :. "Anyways, just stay out of my mind unless you ask. There are somethings in there that I would rather forget. Like that time. Alright?" .: Fine... :. replied Mel, obviously losing the fight.

As the demon was ripped to shreds by the miniature void, Hoshi looked up to see Eyotto. She froze, sensing danger through every bone in her body, her mind racing fiercly and her senses accute. She immediately did not trust this guy. She could feel Varroth frozen the same way to the left of her, sufficing a growl. She would have laughed had she not been so horrified. Finally, she replied, speaking slowly and cautiously, "Yes, I don't believe we've had the... pleasure..." she paused a moment at this, "of meeting..?" Her face went blank and emotionless. She was putting up a guard she didn't use too much anymore. "It's nice to know you seem quite... er... entertained by us." She grinned at him coldly, crossing her arms and staring him in the face. By impulse she would have taken a step towards Rue.. But her senses never lied and that would probably be a bad move. "What brings you to us, SIR?" She bowed mockingly at him, and Varroth followed. His laughter was rising in her mind, and Hoshi could feel Varroth shake his fear off.

Ryuk made sure to protect the Knight in training, Reiko. -=Eyotto usually means what he says, and says what he means. Dont worry, young Knight, we have plans for you... just wait, you'll be much stronger soon...
-~-~-~- Meanwhile -~-~-~-
"Why I'm here, I wouldn't worry, dear Hoshi. But I will say this. If you don't already know, there are too many Knights coming over from Ithranna. My master couldn't take care of you, then I shall, in due time." His grin unfaded and his insanity showing full bloom, he burst into maniacal laughter. "Oh, pardon me! Sorry to be so rude!" His icy cold stare fell on them again. He crossed his arms now, staring them down, measuring their powers. He thought maybe he could take Rue now, AND Hoshi. Eyotto's power keeps rising with the hours, and his fight with Rue was a nice boost in his strength. Even without Ryuk, he could probably hold his own against the Knights.

"Oh, did I say that? Or did you read my mind? Either way, it doesn't matter, you can read away. And my power? Yes, I am a demon, but it isn't from a demon. Picture this though, it's from a good friend of yours..." Upon leaving those words, he grinned wider. "Don't worry, Hoshi, I have no intention of underestimating you. I did it to Rue, and I almost had to try.." He paused, feeling Hoshi's and Varroth's thoughts. "Tch, Hoshi, you're right, I DO plan on killing you. Soon, however. I wanna toy with you two a while.." He grin stretched even more, giving him his signiture, insane look.

"Uneasy, you say?" she laughed coldly. This was no longer a game to her, no fancy words to say what she meant. There was electricity in the air, and it was caused by Hoshi and Eyotto's pure hatred for one another. She continued on, an aura of sheer annoyance emanating around her. "I may be lacking in some ways, but so are you. Even those who seem "perfect" have their weaknesses. It's not the strong who live, or the weak who live, in the end. It's those who understand the nature of the world they live in, and that is where you will go wrong. " her eyes glowed red, and she closed them for a moment, letting out a breath. Despite the wind, her hair and clothes remained kempt and unmoving, as did the small half-demon wolf girl. A silent energy took form around her and when she opened her eyes again it was almost like she was a totally different person. Her voice seemed to carry further through the air now as she spoke again, filled with a new energy. "You believe that the world is your puppet, but you will see you are wrong. Until you can understand how much the world relies on those who lack the need for power... that greed you feed off of..." she shook her head and stared at him, her piercing eyes alive with fire as she looked him straight in the eyes. "You are wrong about many things, and I hope you learn this before you DIE!" she snarled. Her voice was soft as she said that, yet filled with more meaning than anyone could understand.
Varroth was almost terrified. He thought he had seen every side of Hoshi, but apparently he had been wrong. This side of her... this one was the very demon energy she was entwined with the world about her, and he hadn't even realized that it was possible she could take on such a form. For the first time he had ever seen, demon, wolf, and human, were all combined in perfect harmony, synching together. She WAS Ithranna.

Eyotto's eyes widened this time in surprise, and he fell silent in awe. Even a mind as twisted as his took the words of the Knight into his head and analyzed them. After her accusations, however, the awe fell into a deep hatred. "Hoshi! Now you put words in my mouth and thoughts in my head! I do not see the world as my puppet, I do not misunderstand the environment of which I stand on and battle on. And this greed I feed on!? How wrong can you be. The power that fuels me my dear Knight, is more than you could comprehend. He balled his fists. "Yes, I do have but one weakness, one that you would not bear sacrifice! And even still, I will leave you to guess!" The aura around Eyotto became stronger. Hoshi was partially right, he did obtain SOME power from human greed, but that isn't all. His demonic powers gained power in the face of negative human emotions, much like the ones he was concieved out of. Anger, contempt, greed, sorrow, all of these. And a large portion, unbeknownst to Hoshi, was being given by her. Eyotto's eyes seem to sink into a pure white color, and he seemed to be floating again, but almost leaning backwards to. Thought there was wind, his clothes and hair didn't move by wind, but as if he was in water. His aura erupted and Eyotto reached his own new level of power. "Hoshi," He said with a grin as his demonic wings appeared once again as he brandished his weapon. "I need to see, I need to see that power of yours in action, and to see which of us is TRULY wrong or right! Let us do battle, and have Rue not interefere, this will be OUR fight."

Hoshi watched in silent amusement, taking into consideration his boiling rage at the words in which she had spoken. "I'd like you to realize," she said quietly, "that I was not accusing you just of taking your powers solely from greed..." She closed her eyes again, for what seemed like an eternity, appearing peaceful. When she opened them, there was no longer fire in them, but a small flicker of it still remained. But now there was more to it--a meaning, I reason to fight. And it wasn't just for herself, or for Rue.. it was for everyone she had ever known, and for Ithranna.. the place she had learned to love more than even Earth. "I don't really care what your motives are by this point, Eyotto... But you've taken claim to being my enemy and I have no choice. Demons are spirits too, and they might as well be the embodiment of all human evils, but they cannot be used... and your demon power is no longer just purely that but you have taken in worldly things too.. you aren't a mindless killer, but you follow something you believe in. I WILL fight you, and it will not matter who wins... you are the one placing a bet. I am merely a pawn after all, am I not?" She smirked, which looked odd and displaced upon her serene expression. So it begins sighed the long lost Hoshi in thought.
