RP:Chakor's Antidote & More on Satoru
Xalious Village
Alphonz ideally sat on the lip of the well. Three tails flairing out behind him. Two a deep red the newest pure black. The kitsune was playing with his snakes. A simple game of toss the rat and the flying vipers took off after it. At the moment the kitsune wasn't wearing his coat and the right side of his shirt had been burned away to rebeal his right arm completely covered in a sick inky substance. The large angry scar seemed to pulse with hidden power. Curled up at his feet was bella his most faithful servant.
Misaki had been hunting Al down since last night. And finally she found him as she entered the village. Seeing the kitsune playing with his snakes, she crossed her arms. "So," she said, obviously pissed, "who gave you permission to poison Chakor?" Her foot tapped on the dry ground, senting up puffs of dust off the beaten road.
Alphonz never missed a beat as he tossed a rat into the air once more. " The dragons. Myself. " Slowly the kitsune rose to his feet.Eyeing misaki with the unnaturally mismatched eyes. " Who gave you permission to let someone mess with those runes." It was easy to tell someone elses magical signature was all over them. " Also I can cure chakor at any time. But here is the kicker hurt me or try to and i'll just have the stuff do its real dirty work. Right now he should be habing a hard time keeping anything down. " The kitsune was slowly stalking towards the avian woman. " So be happy I could of had him drop dead instead he's just very ill. "
Misaki shook her head. "I told you," she said, "Chakor's fate, whether he live or die, was to fall to me." She narrowed her eyes. "And Svil was doing his own thing... he wondered what they were and he tested them. That's all." She shook her head again. "So it's plainly obvious I can't trust you. So here's my real question... what is it you hope to gain by helping me get Satoru back?"
Alphonz merely sighed and shook his head calmly. " Never once did I claim to help YOU out of the kindness of my heart.Or did you forget this was a favor for myth. " Al was livid at the moment the ink along his arm started to shake and form odd symbols. " You would let a murderer walk with you with nothing more then tasks to regain his honor. To me that makes you weak. Bella come. " The large basilisk suddenly shot forward to circle around him
Misaki shook her head. "...I am waiting," she said, "merely biding my time until the right moment." She frowned. "...he has duties, as do I. Plus he's promised to help ight to get Satoru back." She frowned. "...once that's all good an' done... I'll decide what to do with him."
Alphonz gave a weak shake of his head."If its allies you seek I'll call an army. But me giving him some sickness is much better then me say messing up the gate to get him stuck in limbo?" Misaki would have to understand. It wasnt time to use to rune yet." But If youd like I can give you the antidote?" With this Al gabe a flourish of his wrist a shiny red apple appeared. There were several runes painted onto the fruit. "He eats this it will nuetralise my poison." A small token of peace between the two. " And I'm ready to open the gate when ever your prepared. "
Misaki took a deep breath. "That's one of the reasons I sought you out," she said, reaching for hte apple, "the other is because I got your letter. The one aying we needed to speak with Satoru again." She smiled slightly. "...I actually need to speak with Her Majesty. I intend to get the weapons and weilders out of the Nightmare Realm, but they need a place to stay... so I was going to speak with Her Majesty about what to do."
Alphonz nodded lightly.Then gave a sharp hiss Bella swirled around the two before the kitsune merely sat down on her massive frame. it was obvious bella had made seating for the two of them."Tell me why you had a broken heart." The kitsune's anger dropped away and now he was charming as could be. " And yes I need to know the name of the plane and I don't know if i can bring them all back...I'm going to have to key everyone in the my runes so it acts as a one way gate. That means blood. I dont know that many peoples blood will trigger the runes. It took me a while to figure out how everyones blood would react. Yours though is important for amping up the runes to actually tear open the gap. Ill do most the work but it will take alot out of me.
The Preklek Scouting Party scampered off to the north.
Misaki nodded once, sitting carefully on Bella and starting to pet the basilisk. "...I'm not going to answer your first question," she said, "and if I boost the power, not just with my ability, but with both mine and Satoru's blood we should get at least a few of them out, right?" She shook her head. "Not all of them might want to leave..." She looked up into the sky. "...as for speaking with Satoru... don't push yourself if you don't have to."
Alphonz grinned lightly." It involves myth I know." His most charming smile was on display. "And maybe... I truly do not know since I will have to channel the magic through myself. The runes stabalise its me that conducts. Now I have the location picked its over at the fountain of corruption. there is enough ambient mafic from the shard of chaos to power them. " The kitsune slowly got comfortable as Bella merely reached out and snagged a stray dog the noise of her eating was gruesome.
Misaki winced a little as Bella ate the dog. But she nodded. "...I don't understand magic," she said, "but I feel like if I go there, I'll understand things a little better..." she frowned as Al, "and for the record it'll take more than a charming smile to get me to trust you again."
Alphonz gave a light laugh. "Misaki I'm not asking for your trust I'm letting you vent to a person the is nuetral." The sound of snapping bones and slurping followed."I got my revenge on the lycan. I made him ill you can fix him. But I need to work on your runes." He pulled a slip of paper from his pants pocket and handed it to her." Let your wizard friend look at the. For trust sake. its merely a control scheme to let you control that built up magic. " And that was the first truth the kitsune spoke in a long time. " Besides I can't kill you myth would be far to upset." The kitsune though for a moment then grinned." Ahh but how about a gift? Ive heard women love gifts."
Misaki started laughing. "...I suppose -most- women prefer gifts," she said, "I prefer actions rather than gifts." She took the paper. "...and, well. I haven't really done much with my ability, though I did tell Svil what I can do." She tood up and stretched. "Well," she said, "shall we contact Satoru then? Might as well." She placed the paper and the apple in a pocket of her bag, as a roll of bandages fell out. "...I need to get a bigger bag," she said with a frown. That's when you noticed the roll of bandages was covered in blood.
Alphonz gave a casual flick of his wrist the bandages soaring to his hand. "Care to explain? Or I have a rune to tell me."But already Bella had moved and the kitsune was hard at work sketching runes onto the ground.The oddest thing was that the inky black stuff on his arm was acting like real ink. It would take him a few minutes to get done."If actions are better then gifts then you should love me by now. No one else can so the things I can." The kitsune moved to the center of the massive array."I need his eyes again."
Misaki smiled a little. There was a mischivous glint in her eye as she removed Satoru's from her ears. "There are some things in life that require... rather violent means," she said, placing the eyes in Al's palm and removing the bandages. "Although... sometimes I wish that were not so." She placed the bloody bandages back into her bag and stepped back. "Do you need me to boost you?"
Alphonz shook his head in the negative."myth" the only word he spoke before he started to chant the laungauge was odd harsh and gutteral. Randomly he swapped back to his normal tongue" From the gates of hell ai demand your power." Half the runes lit up a hellish red."from the gates of heaven I demand your power." The other half lit up a calmling blue."By mother earth I bind you." Ths colors swirled together into a dull brown. aboce the two of them the image of the man appeared." make it quick ...hurts" It was true this much magic was burning the kitsune alive.
Misaki looked up to see Satoru floating above her agin. "...greetings," she said. He was lookign better. No cuts or scars. "You'd better hurry, Misaki," Satoru stated, "we're losing more and more people as the war continues." Misaki nodded. "I know," she said, "there are things we need to know, before we can go, and I also need to speak with Her Majesty." She frowned. "...first, what is the name of that realm? Does it even have a name?" Satoru nodded. "It's called Akumukokudo. Don't you remember?" Misaki frowned. "...remember... what?" she asked, then shook her head. "...I don't get it," she said, "Akumukokudo... why does it..." her eyes fell on Alphonz. "...oh. Satoru, we have to end it here. Al can't hold the communication up for very long..." Satoru nodded. "...then I will see you when you get here," he said.
Alphonz was snarling through the pain. Blood leaked from his eyes and ears. Smal rivers formed from his nostrils. When the last words were spoken he broke the connection.The smell of burnt flesh floated around him.But he looked much better then the last time he jad done the same thing. Slowly the kitsune raised a shaky hand to wipe the blood from his face. "Bella..." The large snake curled around her master lifting him from the ground seconds before he collapsed. His head was pounding a migraine blooming right behind his eyes." Misaki can I get a moment with those healing hands?"
Misaki ran over to Alphonz, her hands already starting to glow. "At least you're not being stubborn like that time," she said, placing her hands on his temples. She had a slight frown on her face, as if she was deep in thought. "...maybe I was right before," she said, "and I come from... Akumukokudo."
Alphonz gave a snarl at the pain wracking his body. The runes lighting up seeming to combat the magic. But he was to weak and magically exhausted. When it was done Bella dropped him from her coils and merely curled up out of the way to bask in the sunlight. The kitsune looked like hell but at the very least felt better." Thank you." Was the kitsunes only words as he slowly stood." I'll need to do some research into this... Dimension."
Misaki nodded slowly. "...well," she said, "I guess I have some things to think about. Akumukokudo..." she looked off into the distance, frowning slightly. "...why does it sound so... familiar...?"
Alphonz tried to o his usual vanishing routine but it was depressing at best. He seemed to be see through instead of vanishing from sight. He gave another snarl of displeasure.Before turning to Misaki." Ahh right... One last thing before we both go soul searching. Chakor has to say I accept the beast before biting the apple." With that the kitsune started to limp away bella quickly followed after him.
