Daniella led Kain through the wild forrests of Daniella Shentavo, named after herself. Although she was the spiritual and physical leader of the country, it was a dangerous place. Being made of islands and forrests, it was infested with pirates and all magical creatures. Few humans could stand to live there.

They were on a mission. They had to save the young pirate . . .

"How much of your nation has this kind of terrain? The place seems hostile." Kain said rather quietly not to draw attention to himself.

Kain had his regular clothes on, balck trousers, a deep green shirt which went well with his gree-brown leathery skin. He had cloven talons, three on each ahnd and feet, his eyes where brown and segmented.

His Cloak drifted along with it's own will, the colour green, the tarnished white emblem upon it still representing Kain. Ever since his exile, it had ceased to be white....a sign of his condemnation.

"It is all like this . . ."

Daniella whispered. She looked up at Kain.

"I shouldn't have brought you here. I don't want you hurt."

OOC: I have to go. If anyone wants to join this RP, TG me, Little Danya.

" Do not be ridiculous. The things which could harm me could harm you evenmore so...I could not allow that now could I?" Kain said lightly. He had not felt this way in a long time, most of his troubles seemed distant when he was with her. Slowly Kain became less hardened towards Daniella.

Daniella smiled sadly.

"We will stop here for the night. Tomorrow, we go to the Ocean of Tears, where we will find Peter's ship, and the witch who holds him captive. The one who gave me this wound."

She allowed the arm with the scar to show.

"Quite a scar....how did all of this start anyway?" Kain said, as he began to set up camp. He was slowly errecting a tent, with some hasitly comstructed sleeping bags. More like insect caccoons, they where magical in nature, constructed by kain swiftly. They where impervous to rain and the cold, and where rather warm. They where increbly soft, much like silk, yet extremely durable. The tent was made of a similer matieral.

Kain walked over to a stick and picked it up. He placed it upon the ground and threw it up into the air. As it span unto the ground it caught alight and set down upon where it had started, a small fire, no heat and no real flame, but light. He had to maintain the other spells.

He sat down and listened to Daniella, cross legged.

Daniella sat across from Kain. She made eye contact.

"I was alone in a boat, traveling. A clan of witches attacked me, and who on Earth knows why . . . anyway, they overtook me, as I was alone. I killed all but five. The leader, an ugly old hag, decided I was to die by magic. So, after five days from starving me and no blood, she began to prepare a spell to finnish the job. Out of nowhere, a young man came and saved me. He pulled me into the water, and took me back to shore. He brought me animals to feed off of, and brought me back to strength.

Anyway, I told him I'd be back. When I was three day's journey from where I left, a witch came and told me they had him. I . . ."

She broke off.

"If it weren't for him, I'd be dead. That's when I decided to come find you."

Kain felt very guilty.

"I am sorry I was not there to help then....I unfortuanatly had problems of my own then...." Kain thought back to the temple....

"But I am here now. It is good to see that this world still has some compassion. I would greatly like to see this man...." Kain said, he would have liked to. In a way, he was endebted to the man.

Kain reached within a tiny pouch, and amazingly withdrew a rather large tome. It had a brown cover with a lighting blue spine. It also had Kain's white symbol across the front, in all of it';s former glory, now it was tarnished upon his cloak, a rusty brown colour.

He withdrew a silver pen and opened the book to a blank page and began to write as they talked. It wrote complete illegible words, which floated in the page and strained the eyes to see. Well, apart from Kain.

"You will meet Peter. We must rescue him, then find his daughter."

"Very well.....did he say why he saved you?" Kain asked as he continued to scribble within his diary, the words floating to Daniella's eyes. Kain continued to look at Daniella, his writing was not impared due to it.

"The witches had his daughter. He wanted to save me from them, because I was in danger."

"And what happened after he had rescued you? Did they take his daughter away?" Kain asked as he put away the book with a slight thud and his silver pen only to produce one last one, a seep blue one, with a white spine. Daniella could not see the title of the book, but the words where legible....to some degree. The words where one of spells.....and Kain scanned over them swiftly. The book was massively thick, and the font was small.

You seem to have a knack for being sensed Kain... *Azari said walking towards him.* You're presense is growing stronger. *she laughed to herself...she knew why*

Daniella looked pale.

"I don't know. He nursed me back to health, that much I am sure of."

Daniella felt danger approaching.

"Kain . . ." She said. "Powerful magic is comming. Azari, can you fight?"

Is it really? I had not noticed. Kain said slightly jokingly.


"I can fight....seems to be wherever I go I need to fight. Such is the enevitability of life." Kain said, putting his book away with a thud and placing it back into his tiny pouch. It seemed as though the book shrunk....or was it the bag getting bigger....?

Kain stood up full, and recited a few combat spells. He had them ready upon his lips, and loosened his body.

Daniella turned as she hurd a rustle in the bushes.

"There." She whispered.

Daniella turned as she hurd a rustle in the bushes.

"There." She whispered.

Azari: Of course I can fight...I was trained by Rave wasn't I? *she said as if it were a common fact that all trained by Ravelyn could fight...it was.*

Daniella bit her lower lip and raised a knife.

"Come out!"

Kain stood waiting for the thing to show itself, magical incantations upon his lips. His Cloak turned a deep blue, as it swirled around in the non-existant breeze.

A hag jumped out of the bushes, lunging at Daniella with a blade that golwed blue.

Kain launched his own attack, his whiyr hiar flashing blue for a second as the spell fired. He outstreached both cloven hands and launched something like a water blast towards her. It spiraled and cascaded into her from her flank, which should blast her away some distance.

She got up and lunged again. Daniella chucked a knife at her, killing her. She picked up the knife.

"A Jangui Blade. Made to kill magic beings." She said.

( Not to gripe or anything...but can we have slightly more description...thanks.)

Kain mulled over the idea of "magic beings".

"Wait...are vampires considered magical in nature?" Kain asked, he did not really understand why one would attack them. Unless it was for the Brightblade...

Daniella sighed and stood up. Her face showed her worry. I shouldn't have brought Kain here! she scolded herself.

"Vampires are considdered magic. There is a price on my head. The Brightblade may draw this kind of attention to you, but I doubt it."

She turned towards the river.

"On the other side of the river we will find an old house. We can stay inside for the night."

Kain nodded. He saw sense in it...he did not know the origin of vampires. something he would have to find out.

"I do get a deal of iunwanted attention from weilding this weapon...but that is unavoidable." Kain said to himself, as he followed on.

(Suggests for us to wait for Rave)

Daniella led him to the house, but there was no house there. It had been burned down.

"The witches knew I would be comming this way!" She yelled, kicking a stone. She calmed herself. "Sorry for he outburst, Kain." She said quietly. "This was one of my safe houses."

(I have to go anyway)
