I wanna base this like years later.
An army was looking for the forest group. After the fall of Azrael and returning to their own realm, the group encountered someone claiming that by destroying Azrael, they had distrupted all other parallel realms as well and the only way to fix the problem was to kill the group. The army was from a realm where Azrael was only handicapped and now his son wanted revenge. The group split up, everyone going their separate ways.
Pi and Eilistraee had permanently become one, so Pi joined the gods to learn more about her powers. After Ososuki's death, Nunia inheirited his powers, and somehow his spirit. She/they went off into the forest as they were ferals. Demetri and Tivia went off to far away towns to find somewhere to fit in. Years later, the army is getting closer.
--------
Nunia limped into the room underneath the old cabin's remains. She dug it years ago as a hide out and it has yet to be found. Hurriedly, she ran to the bed and began pulling the blanket on top apart. Tearing several strips to bandage the wound, she carefully slipped off her jacket. The arrow was sticking through her chest near her shoulder. Grabbing it, she yanked it out in one pull, biting her lip, tasted blood. Quickly bandaging the wound, she grabbed for the jacket on the bed, only to feel something burning through her body. That wasn't Suki, she thought doubling over as the painful heat began attacking her heart. She fell to the bed holding her chest. Before the pain forced her to pass out, she unconciously sent out a mental SOS.

((I'mma use Alphonse as well xD))
A messenger darts through the forest, trying to get to base camp as fast as possible. He had a message to report to the commander. Camp fires were coming into view, and the being sighs relief. Rushing to the commander's tent, the door flies open.
"Sir! We've found the wolf."
"Good, did you manage to capture it?" The commander stands to his full height, his elven features obvious. Placing his hand on his claymore, he waits for the news.
"No, sir." The messenger bows his head in shame. "She is injured though, Commander Nimwirti."
"Good," the Nimwirti smiles. He is similar to Demetri in many ways, but at the same time isn't. Alphonse is a ruthless soul, willing to destroy anything in his path in order to get what he wants. He was excited though, hearing that his brother led the attack on Azrael gave him more of a reason to find Demetri, and finally dispose of him. "Lead me to their last location, I'm coming to assist."
"Yes sir," the messenger salutes, turning to gather a pair of horses to ease their travel. "Two horses! Now!" Another soldier brings the horses just as Alphonse leaves his tent. Both of them mounting their horses, they take off into the forest, to the last battle location.
___________________________________________
Demetri had taken up working as a mercenary once again. The money was enough to allow him and Tivia to live comfortably in a town they found a good distance east from the forest. He had been hiding the fact that he's an angel for quite some time now. Nobody wanted a thing like that living amongst them, and also work was hard to find if he showed that he is. Sighing, Demetri thinks of Tivia as he continues on, in the general direction of their old forest home. He wasn't thinking too much about the fact it used to be home to him, but more of the fact that he had to traverse the forest to the town on the other side. Past the army. Past his old cabin. To a town on the other side to find out why the army was headed towards their town. The mayor had put him to this task, and wasn't being stingy of the payment either.
Not thinking of those things though, Demetri stood at the edge of the forest, smiling to himself. He had always felt comfortable in forests, no matter how big they are. Giving his horse a light kick to get it moving, he begins through the great forest, headed right towards where his cabin stood unintentionally. After a few minuites of traveling in the forest, he hears Nunia's SOS.
What the? The only person that has heard communicating like that lately was only Tivia, but he was a good distance away from her now. Kicking his horse to a gallop, he follows the path through the forest, trying to locate where the signal came from.
[I'm coming, hang in there] He sent out to whoever was in distress.

((Yay, me loves evil Dem clone XD))
Hearing the voice in her head caused Nunia's conciousness to come back. [Suki?] she sent out. The voice seemed familiar, someone from her past.. She slid from the bed to the floor, the poison doing its job of keeping someone down. Somehow she crawled to the table, which was covered in herbs, picked one up and sucked on it. It would slow the poison for a bit while she tried to find another hiding place. Shoving the rest of the herbs into a bag and grabbing her dagger, she stumbled out into the forest.
The foundation of the old cabin still stood, as if it were a monument to something. Many of the trees in the area were cut down by the army, most times in search of Nunia, others because of the need of firewood and what not. Either way, the forest was different. Her vampire shadow powers had grown since their discovery, and mixed with her Changing ablilty, she was almost like an Elven chameleon, hiding in plain view. As quietly as possible, she ran along the lake.
((BTW, she looks like the avi. I created something of a story..))

((No biggie. Dem's appearance has changed too. xD Should be interesting. A story of only Dem and Nunz. Lol))
Approaching the scene of the last battle, Alphonse looks around in disgust. How does most of a platoon of well trained soldiers get killed by a single person?
"How?" Alphonse draws his blade quickly, putting it to the messenger's throat. "How does an entire platoon get stopped by a single wolf!"
"I--" The messenger was frightened. Alphonse was a scary person when he was mad, but probably the best commander on the field. "I couldn't tell you. I was only distributing your orders sir."
Sighing, Alphonse sheaths his claymore, giving his horse a kick and heading off into the forest. "Get the injured back to camp and tended to, I'm scouting ahead."
__________________________________________
Demetri had gone quite some distance into the forest, noticing as he got closer to the heart of it, the trees thinned. Following the path along the river, he hears Nunia's voice again.
[Nunia? Is that you?] Something didn't feel right. Her voice seemed pained. Tracing her voice up the river some, he kicks his horse again, pushing it to it's limit. This wasn't part of his job, but he always put friends above work.

((wootage))
Nunia stopped to think about the voice. It wasn't Ososuki's voice, who was lock inside her. It was someone on the outside. Thinking back years, she remembers.
[DEMETRI! The army's after me! I'm at the lake!]
She started to run along the river as well. Only, she forgot about sucking on the herb and the burning pain attacked again. It forced her to the ground and she cried out.

((No Alphonse post right now.))
Rushing along the river, he spots Nunia from a good distance away. Hearing her cry, it prompts him to dismount from his horse and take off on foot, knowing he could get there faster that way. Opening the first chakra gate to enhance his speed, he's at Nunia's side in an instant. Closing the gate as he kneels next to her, he scans her over, noticing right off the injury in her shoulder.
His appearance has changed a good amount, but still retained his usual features. His breastplate had been retired from damages from the battles in Azrael's realm. It was now replaced with a piece of armor running down his right arm, connected to the gauntlet he wears now. Clasped around his chest, and under his shoulder, it is engraved with an elven phrase along the bicep in gold, reading 'Good friends are always with you.' His hair had grown in length, about halfway down his back and pulled back into a ponytail, so it would stay out of his face. It seemed like he was wearing mostly normal clothing, but there was a hint of elven chain mail underneath his clothes. He even retired his old weapons, having replaced them with two claymores that are normally mounted on his back. At the moment though, they were sheathed on the horse's sides, as it trotted up to them.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine." Demetri switches to his angelic form, placing a firm hand on her shoulder. He had taken one of his years away to refine his healing abilities some, so helping Nunia was alot easier than ever. The white glow radiates from his hand once again, easing her pain first, then healing the wound. The process would take a moment, but her injuries would be healed.

She waited patiently while he healed her. She looked down at herself. She was covered in tiger-like stripes that had developed from years of Changing and hiding. She also had some kind of parasite attached to her in an.. odd way. It could expand into armor in exchange for the movement that she had. Years ago, Nunia would've been shy about having Demetri see her like this, but she was too relieved to care.
The moment he was finished healing her, she jumped up and glomped him. 'Demetri!!' Almost immediately she held him at arm's length. 'We've gotta hide! He'll know they had an arrow in me and he'll be looking! That poison should've dropped a horse. And they'll see you with me! And they'll go after Tivi..' She stopped talking to change into a spider monkey, climbing onto his head. [Come on, let's go!]

"You got it." Demetri reverts to his normal elven form, mounting his horse and turning around. Kicking the horse into a full gallop, he heads back to the town that he calls his home now. "We're heading back to my place for a bit. It's a rather large town, so it'll be hard to locate us." Breaking the tree line, they ride through an open field, the town slowly coming into view.
___________________________________
Alphonse approaches the cabin Nunia had used as a hideout for quite some time. Dismounting from his horse, he inspects the area, noting the footsteps coming from the remains of the cabin and down along the river.
"Heh, this is going to be easier than I thought." Getting back to his horse, he mounts up again, following the footsteps Nunia had left behind. He had scouted for this army before he was promoted to commander for taking over when his old commander deserted them.

The monkey held on tight. [Okay, just hide us.] As they rode Nunia thought about her pursuer. He kind of looked like Demetri. That's who she thought it was at first. And he had played on that, playing with her until it was almost too late. But now she had found the real Demetri, and she was debating telling him about the other man.

Demetri nods, quickly approaching a little house. It was seeming normal on the outside, but there was more to it on the inside. Bringing the horse to a sudden stop, it rears. In one swift movement, Demetri draws his new blades, placing them both on his back and dismounting the horse at the same time. Landing softly on the ground, he opens the door to the house, closing it behind him and pointing to the bedroom for Nunia.
"Pick out some clothing in there, there's something thats bound to fit." His living room had all his old armor setting on shelves, collecting dust now. His swords were also mounted on the walls. "I can loan you my old blades if you wish. We'll call you one of my employees if we must so we don't draw attention to you in this town."
_________________________________________
Alphonse comes to the point where Nunia had fallen by the river. The disturbed dirt gave it away. Looking a bit close at the surroundings, he notices horse tracks as well.
"Hmm." He turns his horse around and heads back to camp to distribute orders as soon as his forces are ready to move.

She dropped from his head, Changing back. 'The clothes won't matter. Someone's sure to recognize my stripes. I don't think I can make them go away..... Demetri, You've got to get Tivi and we need to hide! This commander is really good about finding me. Sometimes I think he's Azrael.. Last time I met him, he almost had me.' She looked around the room, frustrated, then back at her friend. 'He looked like you. And used that against me.'

Demetri hesitates, looking straight at Nunia. A look of shock crosses his face, as he thinks of his fathers last words so long ago. Can it be true? Father wasn't lying? He had always believed that his father's stories of Demetri's long lost brother were just something to scare him so he would stay in line.
"Get some clothes on anyways. We're traveling as humanoids for now." Demetri opens a hidden door and pulls out some armor he had been working on. Finding what he's been looking for, he tosses it to Nunia. It was an extra chest piece of chain mail that he had laying around just in case. "Put that on too. It's as light as cloth, but stronger than the armor I used to wear. If what you say is true, we do have something to worry about. He had to have undergone similar training from my mother." They would have to meet up with Tivia in the east.

Nunia nodded and caught the chest piece, then ran to the bedroom. [I gotta tell, you: I am not use to clothes.] She came out wearing a red shirt, dark red skirt, black leggings and dark red shoes. She also had a green cloak on top of it all. "What did you mean, your mother? And why did you looked shocked? Do you know him?" she asked, wondering who the commander really was.

"My father always used it against me to keep me in line." Demetri walks to the wall, removing his old swords and sheaths from the wall. Sheathing them both, he continues. "He always threatened me with calling my long lost brother to come and beat me up. Obviously, I did as I was told. The story he told me was that Mother had taken my brother, wanting to be away from the arts my father always tried to force upon us. Granted, I remember my mother's soft voice, but she left us at an extremely young age for me, so I don't remember her well. It's all clicking now though. Strange faces after my father's death. Specially one that looked exactly like my reflection." Demetri pauses for a moment to toss Nunia his swords.
"What I'm trying to say, is if what you say is true, my brother is out there. He is a force to be reckoned with too. He had to have had similar training to mine, and probably refined it even better." Demetri moves to the door, opening it and letting out a shrill whistle, calling a second horse. "We need to get moving. Tivia went east, running the second part of the errand that the mayor hired me for. She went to rally reinforcements to halt the army's movements if it came to that. These villagers have come to call us family in these past years." Closing the door, he removes his claymores and sets them down. Sitting down in a chair by the door, he awaits Nunia's remarks.
__________________________________________________
Alphonse arrives at base camp, looking around at his troops.
"Suit up! We move at sunrise!" He was planning on crushing anything in the path of his objective. The troops scrambled, gathering their horses and weapons as fast as possible. The injured had priority on horses, then the platoon leaders. Shouts were flying around the camp as they all got situated.

Catching the sheathed swords, she attached them at her waist. Finally she looked at him, sighing. "He might be your brother, I don't know. I DO know that he's one of those trying to get revenge for Azrael, making him the bad guy. You need to decide if you want to fight him.. Or do you want Azrael to win again?" She knelt down in front of him. "I can't go through that again. He almost destroyed me, getting into my head.... Suki-..." She looked down to the floor.
After a moment, she said quietly, not looking up, "We need to go find Tivia if we're going to hide.." She stood and walked towards the door.
