Protectors of the Earth

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono actually showed some surprise, but then it went away when it made sense that only the celestial would have such a healing ability instilled in them. "Well, then I guess I feel like an idiot for thinking I could take on a child of the stars... although I imagined a celestial dragon would be more white or gold-ish. Unless, thats all just hype and the color really doesn't make a decent cover for surprise attacks."

C-Chrono, before she finds out, I think I-

Not now, can't you see I'm speaking with some-

When did that dragon become more of an imporance than the words of whom had taught you power and given you a purpose when your greedy master tried to end us both?!

Chrono looked like he was trying to bite his lower lip, and he wordlessly excused himself from the company of the others before looking for a part of the cave and putting his spear across from him and on a rock before letting it speak again...

[Grace.E]

She gave a hairy eyebrow at Chrono. but she sensed something strange coming from the spear, she suddenly became curious and wanted to know more, but she leared from her travles that it was best not to poke around...trouble might not be to far away.

The cat smiled up at Shiro, cocking his head to one side "Oh you are a clever one arent you... Yes, i am bound by saraneth, forever to serve the will of a necromancer..." He smiled again, showing bright white teeth "As for who my master is now?" He bared his throat at Shiro, showing the bell so that he could see the dark red stains that coated the metal "Shall we say... My last master was... Undesirable...."

The cat got up, walking a little closer to Shiro "You on the other hand... You are a powerfull one... I could feel your footprint upon the earth from miles away... And now i come before you, with a request...." The cat shifted, dark shadows twining around it as it grew in size... Within seconds a completely balck puma stood before Shiro, head bowed "I need a master, or else the binding is not done... I need a master, or else i forever stalk the lands with no purpose... You... Could be that master..."

[Alice The Necrofox]

Shiro looked shocked.
"I would never have thought a free magic spirit would ASK someone to be their master... what an odd turn of fate."
he mulled it over in his head a while before saying.
"I accept."

[KittKat chunky~]

The puma looked up at Shiro, its eyes ablaze with silver fires as the corrosive tang of Free magic filled the small cave... It licked its lips, a smell of burnt flesh rolling off a long tongue of dark nothing. It smiled, a hideous grin that grew wider than any normal animal should be able "Oh... I do not ASK for your dominion out of free will... But i must have a master, or else the binding prods and pokes... It burns and it itches... Until i find one... Any would do, but they have all been so.... weeeaak...."

The creatures smile grew even wider, as it changed again, growing taller and thinner until a figure of pure darkness and roiling flame stood before Shiro. The same silver fires burned in its eyes, as it unhooked the bell from its collar.
The bell hummed and vibrated, as with the other hand, the creature reached for Shiro "For a hundred years i have been enslaved... By necromancers, young and old... I place my allegiance under your hand, so that i may be rid of this constant pain..."

It slashed for his throat, so sudden and fast it was barely visible. There was no mark on Shiro's dead flesh, yet on the creatures hand dripped a coating of bright blood. It let a single drop fall onto the bell, and as it did so a faint chiming sound emanated from the metal. The blackened coating faded away, showing silver metal again, as the creature hooked the bell back onto its collar.
The chime grew louder and louder, echoeing through the stone of the cave, and then in a bright flash of free magic it was gone. In its place, stood a small black cat, licking its paw. It looked up at Shiro and mewed "Good choice...."

[Grace.E]

Emrelda's day went from stressful to just weird, the free magic spirit just attacked Shiro, she knew of them, but never wanted to get to know one. she leaped back, letting out her flute like roar. she crouched low to the ground, her tail twitching. she looked at Shiro than back at the black cat. if she had feathers, she would be ruffled. hey eye color varied from a dark maroon to a bright gold. she wanted to attack, but she knew she would be killed in the process. she back away to the corner of the cave. she hated showing fear, she bared her pearly whites. slowly she told her self to calm down. almost like a crawl, she approached Shiro, nudging him in a friendly like gesture.
"Shiro...?" she asked softly, she gave a cautious glance at his new so called 'servant' "can we talk now"

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono was waiting for quite a while before his spear started to give off a magical glow, then expanded into a more humanoid shape before finally becoming a robed figure that pulled back the hood to reveal a king-cobra like head. "I don't think we had a formal introduction all the years I spent as your mentor, protector, and companion, I am the Spirit Oonagi. Your summoning skills augmented by your bloodline and natural magic reserves were the first to attract my attention, the second was your age and lack of fear towards something of my caliber. Please do not fear me though, long after I bound myself to you for the remainder of your now-immortal life I had seen a mentality in you that is rare in those with the amount of power you possess, and that is exactly why I cannot act as a demon any longer and must confess..." She wraps her arms around him as phantasmal tears fell off her face "I wish to be your first... although I will accept second if you perfer your first to be able to have young."

Chrono stood there while she confessed, and firmly yet calmly pushed her off before brushing the mane that grew of the back of her neck-flap. "I believe second is the least I owe you for what you gave; but you will be my first if Emrelda perfers another." he nearly whispered, only to have her nod quietly and changing back to a spear, already wrapped in the same cloth she appeared before him in...

[Alice The Necrofox]

Shiro leaned down and picked up the cat, stroking the back of its neck.
"Yes we can talk now. Don't worry, i didn't even feel a thing." he grinned and walked over. he looked at the cat.
"I am sorry, but i didn't catch your name? You will find my employment a little different then others."

[KittKat chunky~]

The cat smiled, purring quietly as Shiro stroked his neck . He pondered the question for a moment, licking his lips before finally speaking "Hmn... You may call me, Kitt..." He smiled, the bell on his collar ringing softly "Yes, why not? It has been a long time... And i feel in a good mood, without the constant pain to distract me..."

He looked up at Emrelda, cocking  his head to one side "A dragon scared of little old me?   I am most flattered, but unless your friend here instructed me to, i wont lay a claw on you..." He smiled again, showing bright white teeth, and the slightest hint of silver flames deep in his throat...

[Grace.E]

Emrelda sat cat like and nodded. she gave Shiro a grave look, she suddenly felt an intense pulsing. like a heart beat, coming from Chrono's Direction. she looked out of the corner of her eye. she didn't look at Chrono though, she was staring right at the spear. like a curious cat, she walked over to the spear, past Chrono. she sniffed it and inspected it. she knew it was possessed...but by what? that she couldn't tell but she didn't like it. it made her feel uneasy and...protective of Chrono, she gave him  a wary look but she backed away, knowing that right now was not the best time to cause trouble.
"Know...everyone pay attention, its time we talked about things" she laid down in a comfortable position, knowing that it was going to be a while 

[Alice The Necrofox]

Shiro giggled to himself.
"The time has come, said the walrus, to talk of many things... of ships and soles and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings." he muttered under his breath. Then he looked at the cat.
"Don't worry, she is a friend. Also roomate for the time being. You'll get used to her eventually.."

[KittKat chunky~]

The cat looked up, giving a strange sound halfway between a cough and a mewl. He jumped down out of Shiro's grip, landing lightly "I almost forgot... Though if i do not give it to you, the binding will continue to prod and poke... Really rather irksome..." He gave another cough, and a small metal object fell from his mouth to roll across the cave floor with a quiet ringing sound. It was a ring, made of black obsidian, with a single green emerald set into it. Twisted runes and marks crawled across its surface, marks for binding and burning, marks for servitude and constraint. The cat looked up at Shiro, giving a wide grin "You will know what the ring is for, when the time comes..."

[Alice The Necrofox]

"oh i have some idea..." he said and put the ring in his pocket.
"By the way, i am not going to put any language constraints on you. just try not to get me killed with your words, okay?"

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono sat down next to Emrelda, with his spear suddenly appearing on his back with little to no magic involved. He looked up at her with eagerly focused eyes, wanting to know more from the one he quickly found an interest in beyond simple knowledge. The snake spirit inside the spear wanted to comment on how she never got that look from him when she taught him, but then realized that she never left her spear form since she found it much easier to teach him by simply tapping into his mind and using his own words to simplify the explanation; so she stayed her 'tongue' and was just happy that he had not treated her with any visible or hinted distrust since she showed who she really was and her motives for staying with him beyond their life-bind.

[Grace.E]

she gave Shiro a sarcastic smile, that cat better get used to her, she knew what free spirits could do, and she wasn't about to go down that road. she gave her audience a quick once over
"now...first off, this whole Oonagi thing needs to be confirmed, now..." she gave Chrono a quick glance
