Arkane Halls

[Cifero Windtail]

"You're right, Lokyar." He turned to tell Avine that, but she was gone. "That's odd," he said. The cat smiled. "She's probably in her room, I'll go fetch her." Running to her room, he finds that the door is locked. Shrugging, he turned away... when sudden;y, he heard a really scary nose on the onther side of the door. Not stopping to think, Jackal bolts out of the building and around to Avine's windo, where he stares in horror at the scene before him. The window was closed, but he knew that ther was one way through it. Bracing himself, Jackal smashed throught the window into the room and landed on the floor with a thump.

Savel was walking the hallway when he heard the glass break and he broke into avine's room and nocite a dark shadow near her, and the mirror sharp in her paw, and he ran infront of her an grabbed her shoulders,"avine.... Listen to me calm down, this isn't your fault! Don't do this!" he wrapped her in a hug and held her tightly,"don't do this... Your not leaving..."

[Kitane Blackfyre]

The figure hisses, and she winces slightly, her amber eyes slightly dulled, glazed over all most. The glass slips from her paw, leaving behind a large gash along with the smaller shards stuck in the back of her paw. A hiss erupts, breaking the silence. "I will be back for her. This isn't the last you've seen of me!" The shadow growls, dissipating through the walls. All most immediately, she passes out against Savel, her eyes rolled back into her head.

[Cifero Windtail]

"Owwww..." Jackal opened his eyes, glass dust in his hair and bleeding from a deep gash in his arm. He got up and, remembering what Avine said, looked over at Savel. "Um... Avine told me to tell someone the next time I got hurt..."

[JohnnyP789]

Savel quickly grabbed her when she slumped against him. He growled when the shadow dissapeared,"the next time you show yourself, will be the last time you see us..." he looked at jackal and smiled,"I-I don't know what to do man..."

[Cifero Windtail]

Jackal shrugged. "Well, it hurts... a lot... but more importantly, we're going to need help." Jackal ran past Savwel and into the cafeteria, where he found Lokyar. "Lokyar!" he whispered urgently, shaking him a bit. "Wake up, something weird just happened!"

[Lokyar Brightmane]

Lokyar staggered up, having followed Cifero, but lost him as he got to the corridor leading to Avine's room. Seeing the shattered door, he tries to get inside, but struggles with the I.V. drip. He hangs it on a nearby coat hook and reaches to Jackal.

His fur glows golden, moreso than when he healed the injured students and the glow seems to reach towards Jackal, holding him in place for a few seconds as something sharp moves inside his arm. Suddenly, a large shard of glass pings out, and the bleeding stops and the gash heals, leaving no scar. Jackal is released, but the glow extends from him, draining his energy now as Lokyar seems to be struggling to sustain it.

It hits Savel, healing him from any shrapnel or anything that caught him from breaking the door down or the confrontation. Now draining from Jackal and Savel, and only a little coming from Lokyar with his control, the glow continues to extend into Avine. At this point, Lokyar is blinding to look at, like the sun incarnate. Avine seems to glow herself, as many small shards of mirror glass ping from her wounds and the wounds heal up. Lokyar staggers and collapses again, the I.V. drip rigged to be strong enough to support his arm off the ground. The repeated drain on his energy seems to be taxing him, for when he has only just recovered he is called upon again. ((In other words, STOP HURTING YOURSELVES! Also, that took quite a bit of energy from you two. ))

((God damn it stop ninja posting me. I am not editing something so huge.))

[Kitane Blackfyre]

Avine remains out, twitching slightly as she felt the energy heaing her. Her head rolls back, her ankle-length hair touching the floor. A sinister cackle echoes around them and a soft whimper emits from her as she shivers. She felt cold to the touch, but that was normal due to her being half demon half snake.

[Cifero Windtail]

"GAH!" Jackal dropped to the floor, suddenly weakened. "Sheesh... why'd he do that? I never said we needed him to heal anyone, I just thought he'd like to know..." Sighing,  he stood over Lokyar, set his hands on him, and gave him a massive burst of energy that replenished Lokyar's energy halfway. "There," Jackal said. "He should be fine now." Jackal got up, unfazed by the strange cackle, and helped Kitane onto her bed before curling up on her feet to warm her.

(Dude. I did NOT ask you to heal all of us! I just wanted you to come and check things out! That and nothing more! *facepalm* I gotta mention this stuff beforehand...)

[Lokyar Brightmane]

"Ooohhhh" Lokyar moaned as he stood up. "Avine..."

He moved over to Avine and sat on the floor by her bed, still too weak to try and return her to consciousness.

((I know you didn't ask me to heal you all. Problem was, I had that all typed up BEFORE you returned to the cafeteria. Or I had it typed before I realized you had, anyway. Pure chance it fit so well, really.))

[Kitane Blackfyre]

Another cackle rips throughout the room, causing Avine to arch her back and her jaws part in a silent scream. She grips the sheets, her eyes flying open as she feels pain flares through her nerves. The shadow figure cackles again, forming into the room as a dark cloud, enjoying ripping her soul from her body. The figure reveals itself as the Reaper who'd taken her father's soul.

[Lokyar Brightmane]

"NO! YOU! YOU WILL NOT HAVE HER TOO!" Lokyar shouts at the top of his voice while diving at the Reaper, energized by his hate, fear, anger and desire for revenge of his failure. He chants a few words as he flies, and his friends feel any magical essences they possess increase in power to assist him in the combat. Unfortunately, he cannot limit this, and the Reaper is also slightly further empowered.

[Cifero Windtail]

"Alright... take THIS!!" Jackal let loose with a giant enerygy ulse that knocked the Reaper off Kitane, then leaped over the bed after it, drawing his weapons.

[Kitane Blackfyre]

The Reaper hisses, losing its grip on Avine's soul. She falls back against the bed, breathing heavily while she's out of it. "I will have her. She should have died the last time!" It hisses, the fires where its eyes should be in its skull glowing black. "You will not see the last of me. Her soul is as good as mine!" The Reaper howls, finally disappearing, leaving a cloud of black smoke which quickly fades. Avine lays still, her breathing calm but slightly irregular.

[Lokyar Brightmane]

Lokyar pants and goes to Avine, inspecting her for any overt sign of injury or illness. With what is very nearly the last of his energy he lays a hand on her chest and casts spells to heal as best he can her symptoms and if possible cause, and chants three words.

"Senventior, Disthiniumuln, Teritunmitor!"

The aura fades, disempowering local magic, and Lokyar passes out, not a mere collapse, but unconsciousness claims him.
