RP:Beginning the search for Satoru

Spring of Vitality

Misaki || The young avian was flying high above the trees, searching. She slowly started her descent, finding her destination, finally. Misaki landed right next to the spring, closing her wings onto her back. The glowing water nymphs started making noises like birds chirping in greeting to the avian. "You haven't seen Buddy have you?" she asked the nymphs. Then, "Goo, then I beat him here." She sat next to a tree and sighed. She looked up into the tree branches, looking a little down. But then something must've popped into her mind because suddenly she started to silently freak out and blush. Like a typical middle schooler at a boy band concert.

Alphonz silently appeared noticing the avian's blush. With a wicked grin he calmly sat across feom her before letting his cloak of invisiblity to fall. " my my my if dirty thoughtMisaki?" But already the trickster was setting about securing the area. It would be hard to miss the hoard of serpents escaping from his sleeves and collar. Ideally he reached into his coat and pulled free a large tome. The front read runes of the ages on odd book to ...*Borrow* But he handed it to her without any warning.

Misaki shot a slight glare at Alphonz. "No... nothing like that," she said, "just... something..." But then a book was pushed into her hands. She looks down at it. "...what is this for?" she asked.

Alphonz gave a smirk at the glare. And then continued on." You need to read over that book but don't let any mage see you with it." Already the Kitsune was up on his feet." And good your not jumpy that will come in handy." Moving around the area the kitsune started to look over the area." So...Where exactly was your friend taken? Where did the rip open?

Misaki shakes her head. "I don't think he was taken," she said, "it's kind of difficult to explain..." She hesitated. "...he's... a unique being. He can actually -transform- into a weapon. More specifically, a crossbow. And..." she struggled to find words. Finally she sighed. "He's much more adequate to explaining it than I am."

Alphonz stopped dead in his tracks." You had a shifting weapon? Or a soul weapon?" It wasn't something he had expected to hear about in this universe It was truly a difficult thing to explain he felt pity for her." Makes this job all the more entertaining then...Tell me about him. I need to know as much about him as possible." All the while the kitsune continued to explore the area finally coming upon a spot that was unusal in the way the magic felt." Also bring me the book your holding.

Misaki stood up, holding the book to her chest. "HE's a soul weapon," she said, "he said the reason I was able to use him was because we were compatible soul-wise. Which I think is a bit strange." She walked over to him. "I actually met him in the Kelay Tavern, when I took his eyes. His world is full of demonic creatures... 'things you wouldn't see even in your worst nightmares' he said. So they were... created, for the sake of fighting them." She hesitated. "...for the record, without him, I'm unable to fight. So you and Myth will have to protect me when we go."

Alphonz stopped dead in his tracks." He? ohh lord..." He gave a small sigh." What do you mean you can't fight?" He took all the other information in and stored it he would sort through it at a later time. " Mam not to upset , But where I come from soul weapons aren't all that uncommon... My father wielded a sword that turned into a small nine year old girl... Weird right?" He tried to get a smile out of her but the magic was slipping from where he stood. He gave a frustrated flick of his wrist as his trademark serpentine dagger appeared. He quickly slit his left wrist drawing a rune on the ground with his blood." That book page forty seven should be runes about communication." The kitsune never flinched from the wound and if she looked closely she'd see several half healed scars littering his wrist and underarm.

Misaki ignored the blood. The talk of soul weapons intrigued her. "They're fairly rare in these lands," she said, flipping through her book, "and Satoru's nearly thirty." She put her hand on the page and looked up at Alphonz. "...did your father ever resonate with that girl... to the point where he changed form completely?" she asked, "Thinking about it, Satoru and I did it once, and that may be why he left..."

Alphonz gave a look of concentration." No... He never shifted forms but when ever they truly fought as one it was much like watching a storm tear through the enemies." The kitsune gave a grunt as the wound on his arm healed over already so he was forced to cut himself again." Bella is a soul weapon... But she is still a child." He said lightly and at the mention of her name the great snake popped her heads up to look at him." Sadly she's much to strong for me to weild in her true form. So a snake is what we settled on for the time being." The kitune continued to apply more runes around the odd magic feeling." Show me the book. If this works we may be able to talk to the man for a minute or two... But only for a minute or two other wise it might kill us all..." The kitsune was doing all he could to assist the friend of Mythayus he had found a deep respect for the blue dragon.

Misaki turned the book to him and held it up to the specified page. "...has it happened before?" she asked, "two merging, I mean..." she bit her lip. "...I'll admit it was scary when it happened. But..." she was at a loss for words. But then he mentiond speaking to Satoru. She perked up almost immediatly. "Really?" she asked excitedly.

Chakor appears from the east.

Chakor walked towards the magical spring as he he hoped it might be able to heal some of the wounds he sustained earlier in the week during the full moon. As the elf approached, he heard a familiar voice as well as one that was foreign to him. He was careful to stay in the shadows as he approached. After a moment the undeniable sight of pearly white wings came into view. Across from his avian friend stood a pale Kitsune, who he had never met before. Limping out of the darkness, he speaks "Satoru still missing Misaki?" The gladiator turns to the pale fox, extending the hand that wasn't holding his side, he offered a friendly greeting. "Name's Chakor. And who might you be?"

Alphonz had to give a loud hiss as the elf was being slowly surrounded by his swarm of serpants." bella control your friends better." The large python merely gave him a look that clearly told the Kitsune to hush she was merely doing her job. " yes Really ." He aswered slowly as he stopped his work for a moment. Looking at the elf the kitsune grinned widely as he sniffed the air." Lycan can't place what kind. Come here for a moment stand there." Al ideally pointed out a spot next to the runes etched in blood on the ground." Do you have any open wounds? " Oddly though the kitsune stopped his word and held out his non bloody hand to shake the elf's own." I'm Alphonz or Al actually I prefere Al." he said ideally " Pleasure to meet you Chakor." When he let the hand drop he continued with what he was doing copying the rune exactly before returning to misaki's question." There was an old tale of one weilder being able to merge with his weapons... but I was never one for history lessons. Though the stories say it was truly scary... But his accounts painted it as being wrapped in love and caring..." With the final rune done the kitsune recut the wound walking up to the woman." Now.... I need to paint a few runes on you as well..." he gave a light sigh praying he didn't get slapped for this." Two on your neck one on your stomach and two on your back." As he took the book from her hands he flipped it over a few pages to a new chapter. " And chakor Would you happen to have any knowledge of runes? Might make this easier on me."

Misaki looked at the ground as she thought about the merging. She nodded to Chakor in answer to his question, then said to Al, "Whatever is needed." She pulled at her corset, unhooking and untying only certain parts so her stomach was exposed. Nothing else. Too bad for Chakor, much to the narrator's sadistic enjoyment. Heehee. "And what did you mean by being wrapped up in love and caring...?" she asked.

Chakor limps over to where he had been directed. Removing his hand from his side he revealed a large bloody gash running the length of this ribcage. "This qualify as an open wound?" the gladiator jokingly responded. He attempted to laugh but that caused him to double over in pain. He straightens himself up as he looks over to Misaki. Her corset now partially undone sent thoughts racing through his mind. This caused his heart to beat faster, making his wounds bleed more profusely. Turning back to the fox he replies "I only know a few runes from when I was young. The village mystic use to teach all the children a set of protection rune words so that we could ward off attacks at night. Don't know if I'll be much help"

Alphonz gave a wide smile at the wound." it will work." A quick stride over and he coated his hands in the blood of the lycan. Then moved to the woman." Fair warning...." he started to apply the first of the runes to the womans neck." This will hurt." The first small ones were done he moved onto the one on her stomach. Then finally the one on her back. each one a spiraling mess interacting with each other." Step into the center." When she had done that he tossed the lycan a healing potion." That will help... At least slow the bleeding if nothing else." With his good deeds done for the day a smirk appeared on his face. He ideally washed his hands off then started to chant." Mother earth I demand your power. From the gates of hell I demand your power. From the gates of the heavens i demand your power." Around him the magic started to build the small ritual complete he stepped beside the woman inside the rune circle." Remember a minute. Sixty seconds." And with that he slashed both his wrists letting the blood flow down to the ground. Instead of splattering the blood was drawn to the runes around them and on her body. It would take a moment but with a horrendous Boom the mans visage appeared floating in the air above her.

The Satoru who appeared wasn't the one Misaki remembered seeing... or even what Chakor would remember! He wasn't wearing his tailcoat like usual... he was wearing a pair of ripped velvet trousers, and a white shirt stained with blood. His hair had been cut, too, to a short and spiky style. What should shock everyone the most, though, was Satoru had eyes! They weren't sapphire blue like the ones hanging from Misaki's ears, they were a light gray color... "Huh? What's going on?" Satoru said, "This is Hollow... isn't it? What's going--" Misaki interrupted. "It'll take too long to explain," she said, "I don't have much time." She frowned at Satoru. "...why did you abandon me like that?" she demanded. Satoru looked shocked. "What...? Oh." Satoru shook his head. "I didn't... some of my friend from this world grabbed me." He looked over his shoulder, then back at Misaki. "...they need me here, but I'm useless without someone who can wield me properly." Misaki huffed. "...we're planning on snatching you back," she informed him, "if we have to solve whatever it is that's going on over there, then we'll help, too." She glanced back at Chakor and Alphonz. "...right?"

Chakor drank the odd potion the sly fox had tossed him. Immediately he felt better, still hurt, but better. He held his place as the mage began his ritual. Startled by the thunderous boom the gladiator looked up to see… Satoru or rather a figure that somewhat resembled the lovable blind drunkard he knew. The elf was silent as Misaki and Satoru went back and forth. As a gladiator he had seem some very strange things when he battled against forsaken mystics but this was up there as one of the strangest. Shaking his head in disbelief he almost misses Misaki asking him a question. "Sure. I'm always ready for a good brawl." He answers quickly. "How often does one get the chance to fight alongside a shape shifting crossbow thingy?"

Alphonz held the gate open. His entire being felt like it was being ripped in two. Half wanted to go into the portal and half was right thre in hollow. At the thirty second mark he had fallen to his knees. And fourty five blood leaked from his eyes,nose mouth and ears. At the one minute mark the Kitsune had to severe the connection. With a pained ground another massive boom was heard and he fell face forward into a puddle of his own blood. He laid there for a moment trying to piece together his fractured essence it felt like eons to the fox but merely a few seconds had passed. He slowly forced himself to roll over onto his back looking at the other two in the clearing. Bella quickly coming over to slither around him protectivly." I'm in this for the long haul..." The trickster still hadn't taken the time to clean his face of the blood he looked a right frightful sight.

Misaki dashed over to the Kitsune with her hands glowing. "Alright," she said, hovering her hands overh im, "Thank you, Al. At least I know now why he left." She smiled a little. "...really, thank you."

Chakor sunk down on the ground as his feathered friend tended to the injured Kitsune. He tears off a bit of cloth from his cloak and hands it to Misaki. "This will help clean off the blood" He remarks. The elf was taking a moment to gather himself after the extra-worldly display he had just witnessed. Satoru was in another place, his appearance had changed, and now the gladiator had agreed to go help the lovable oaf. Clearly he needed someone to take a look at his head. Laying down on the soft mossy ground he queries "So whats the plan Misaki? How are we going to go save Satoru?"

Alphonz only let him heal for a moment. The pained hissing coming from bella and the one kitsunes mouth was a dead give away it was terrible.He weakly moved away from her hands." Thank you... But don't waste your strength on me." His eyes moved over to the elf." Simple i'm going to power a much bigger version of this gate with a few dragons or real mages to power the spell..." Slowly the kitsune staggered to his feet as he summoned the cloth to his hand and wiped the blood from his face. Looking into the eyes of the avian she'd see the oddest of things. Al no longer held the same colored eyes. Instead one was a bright blue the other a deep jade." I need to check my contacts." With a sharp hiss the area erupted in serpents all climbing his body and hiding amongst his coat. Bella climbed his body slowly wrapping her massive body around the kitsune and resting her heads on her spot, his shoulders. " It was a pleasure chakor... I'll be in touch with both of you." With that the kitsune seemed to vanish from sight. Though the lycan would be able to smell him out the stench of snakes wrapped heavily around the kitsune.

Misaki frowned a little and stood. "...stupid..." she muttered, "at least let me heal you..."
