Carter understood the words the man had said, backing away from him until he saw Ayla. ''Claire, I think it'll be best for us to sit down and see what's going on.. I don't like the looks of these people..''

Ayla crossed her arms, checking the other aura she had noticed. It didn't take too long for her to notice the smaller aura next to them, even though it was smaller by a little amount. ''So, who are your friends Hurati?'' She said in a curious voice, lowering her aura to avoid anymore looks from the other man.

[rooiehaan]

Kaede finished licking her left boob and switched to her right, leaving a echo of 'oooh' and 'aaaah's by the all the men watching her. She blinked and looked around, but kept licking. She shrugged and looked at carter, then stopped sucking her boob and smiled at him. "Don't worry, we aren't so bad~ Say, i spilled some pie, would you help licking it off? I want to pull on my pretty robe again.'' She looked around and Hurati, and looked at him invitingly.

[Hurati]

Hurati frowned, "I think I realize that Azreal and- NOW, NOW IS NOT THE TIME KAEDE!" Hurati stood and stepped away from everyone, drawing his sword. he gave a look at Azreal, one that only they both knew what it meant, then said to Ayla, "Oh him? That's my 'brother'. Back off." He readied himself for a fight and waited for Azreal.

Ayla didn't like the sound of fighting right now, but she wouldn't mind observing the skills of these two. ''Very well, I must warn you, the man you just tried to scare is my back-up.'' She pushed her aura to it's maximum potential, hoping they would just back off themselves.

Carter took out his bow and pulled out and arrow into it. ''Just in case..'' He muttered, regretting meeting Ayla in the first place.

[Hurati]

Hurati smirked, "Well excuuuuuse me princess, but you don't know us at all." He took a deep breath and let the energy he had felt while fighting the soldiers surge into him, "Azreal, wounded and broken, not killed.(Natural Leadership bonus) He gave off the glow again and his eyes turned golden before he leaped across the courtyard and slashed his sword clean through her 'back-up's bow.

Using the forward momentum from landing, Hurati pivoted and sent his foot directly into the mans face. The man went flying across the market and smashed through a wall, "All too easy.." he said with a grin. Hurati then strode towards Azreal and stood next to him, using his sword to point at Ayla, "We are Hurati and Azreal of Zibola, you have the honor of fighting us this day." Hurati spoke to Azreal without turning his head, ready for any counter-attack, "How long do you reckon?"

Azrael sighed this wasn’t the first time Hurati had drawn a fight and the woman’s aura was pretty strong, though from what he could tell of her body and skills she didn’t quiet match him in strength of agility this would be a fast fight and if she was going to try to intimidate the son of the greatest swords man in existence she was going to be in for a nasty shock. He drew his two swords and looked to Kaede, ”Stay back this one is a little too strong for you sister why don’t you play with anybody else who decides to interfere."

As Hurati charged towards Carter, Azrael’s aura flared into full power and he disappeared leaving a trail of dust,"hmm as long as I need to.”, he was next to Ayla within an instant and he slashed at where her arm was sow enough so she could parry the blow he wasn’t going to go at his full capabilities just yet he wanted to test out this woman’s skill.

”Try to keep up, I’m not going all out yet…”

Boss Battle: Ayla - Location: Tekler, Marketplace

Ayla had vanished, appearing to be behind Azrael, a golden but yet black aura surrounded her. ''Hear your words, as they will be your last. She aimed her hand at Azrael, letting a sinister burst send Azrael a few inches away. ''Next one will go through you.'' Ayla had lost her mind, giving into the voice that had talked to her for a short amount of time.

[Hurati]

Hurati noticed something bizarre about the woman, as if she were corrupted. He saw her lift her hand and a glow appear on it, then decided to act. He let all his power flow through him and gasped slightly as he was filled with it. Hurati grinned and then appeared next to Ayla, "Tsk, Tsk. That's called cheating." Hurati flipped, kicked her arm upwards and forcing the blast into the sky. He then jumped off of thin air to land on a nearby roof top. Try fighting fairly, or I'll have to join.

Boss Battle: Ayla - Location: Tekler, Marketplace

Azrael aura was in full swing now, he stood perfectly still and looked at Ayla, the woman’s aura was definitely corrupted it would seem. Slowing down for her was not going to be an option, he went at full speed, appearing behind her again he slashed at her feet, being carefuly not to seriously injure her, but he didn’t stop he was gone again appearing to her right slashing at her arm, and disappearing once more.

Azrael’s eyes were now glowing gold matching his aura as his speed wasn’t slowing down, as he appeared by her left he sliced at her leg and then suddenly he was a few feet back in front of her staring at her and smiling. ”If you can’t control yourself in battle girl you won’t ever be able to beat me, simply blasting me with power will never be enough because you are fighting somebody who knows how to fight back.”

He seemed to be hazy as though he was there but wasn’t.

Ayla didn't move, waiting for Azrael to finish. ''Now that you've finished your playtime, I'll show you true skills.'' In that instant a blow of dark wind threw Azrael away, sending a few stalls and carpets flying away. The sky darkened as the wind blew harshly as Ayla's armor turned full-black, with a silver splendor shining brightly. ''Ah, finally the wait is over. Say, would you mind taking a seat darling?'' She flashed Hurati into a bench, creating a series of cracks and screams among the remaining people.

[Hurati]

Hurati blinked in surprise as he appeared on a bench then looked up at Ayla with an angry frown on his face. He heard the screams and his mind flashed back to the people that had died in Zibola. "I. am not. YOUR DARLING! He forced himself to stand and a bright yellow flash appeared around him, his hair had turned bright yellow now and his aura was stronger, "YOU WILL NOT HARM THESE PEOPLE!" He sheathed his sword and withdrew his quarter staff, the staff started to glow also. He launched himself at her and stopped in front of her, "Give me one good reason not to beat you right now. Stand down and we'll talk." Hurati was not very keen about fighting near civilians, but he would die defending them.

Boss Battle: Ayla - Location: Tekler, Marketplace

Azrael looked like he was blown away but he was back in the same location his haziness now becoming more vivid his eyes glow brighter and golden hair can be seen covering one of his eyes. His aura exploded, pulsating with life now feeding and dancing like a flame, he looked to be in more than one location his speed now off the charts, and a he was no-longer smiling. He was next to Ayla and tapped her on the shoulder, ”Your no warrior, if you can’t keep your cool after one simple blow girl, and if you’re looking for a lesson in skill you need to stand back and re-evaluate your position in life because it’s time you danced.. The Dance of Death.

He dropped his swords to the ground letting them slice into the floor, knowing Kaede would look out for them, (Start of the Dance of Death) the first blow was at full strength to the gut of Ayla sending her flying across the market place, before she hit the wall though Azrael was behind her he smashed his fist into her spine sending her forwards towards the building Hurati was standing on. Before she hit the building Azrael, was their again driving his foot now into her stomach as she flew into it, before she was sent back though he was behind her taking a hold of her by the face he drove her down hard into the ground.(end of the dance)

”A warrior knows, control even when anger takes over them they don’t allow distractions to disrupt their chain of thoughts or corrupt them, and they don’t pick a fight with me.”

Ayla giggled, looking straight into Azrael's eyes. ''Now it's my turn sweetie!'' She grabbed Azrael by his neck, slowly levitating off the ground. ''You managed to cause a crack in my armor, but I think you'll repay me later.'' Ayla dropped him before they reached the height of a watch tower, causing him to land onto the roof of a building. The voice from earlier spoke to Ayla, making her focus on Hurati. Even though she wanted to eliminate Azrael, she was forced into doing what the voice had said.

Ayla then landed softly on the ground, walking around Hurati, touching his shoulders in a grimly way. ''Why would you think you can beat me?'' She whispered in his ear, letting out a sinister giggle. ''What if I blew up this town and you give up? Couldn't there be a more fun way?'' Ayla walked in front of Hurati, more likely in a seductive way. ''Wouldn't you like to hear the screams of them?'' She said in a hollow tone, forming a small whirlwind in her hand. ''Or are you like your friend?'' Ayla looked away, playing with the small wind she had on her hand.

[rooiehaan]

Kaede had watched the fight, but she got bored and she had finished her chest already, so there was nothing she could do. She looked around bored, until she noticed the stall from the pie seller. She grinned and walked up to the man. "Could i have another slice please? Oh, but my brother has the money'' she pouted, sad she couldn't get any pie now.
The merchant laughed, and said: "Youre not from here, are ya girlie? We use gold, but only if we need to. There's lots of other ways to pay around these parts of the empire!''
Kaede looked up, happily, and grabbed a slice of raspberry pie. She nibbled on it, and smiled at the man. "Your wares taste delicious! Oh, but what way would you like me to pay then...?" She asked him, not sure what he meant. Suddenly a loud crash could be heard, and dust was flying everywhere, but Kaede didn't even flinch and just kept on knibbling.

the merchant blinked, then grinned at her naivety. He let her finish her pie to get some leverage, before inviting her over to the back of the stall. Kaede looked at him curious, and walked over. Once behind the stall she saw that the combined counters of the stall made a low wall, hiding her waist-down to the streets. She laughed at the other merchants that had their shops next to the pie seller, and asked: "So what were you referring to?" As she licked her fingers the merchants gathered around her, all of them smiling with their face but not with their eyes.

[Hurati]

Hurati shivered when she whispered into his ear, then looked at her eyes while she stood in front of him. "I am neither, I will not tolerate the harming of innocents but i do not fight for pleasure." He put his staff on his back and crossed his arms, "If you are half the warrior you claim to be, you will have the strength to prevent yourself from abusing your power."

He looked at the building that Azreal had fallen into, "He may be stronger, but I am faster and smarter. You DO NOT want to fight me. I can do more than crack your armor." He looked at her, "If you do not stop now, you will have made an enemy." Hurati took off his helmet and put it under his left arm, he stepped forward and put his right hand on her shoulder. Looking into her eyes he asked, "How far are you willing to go, just to prove yourself? How many have to die?"

Carter woke up from the surprise he had been given, noticing that his arm had barely bleeded. ''Ugh, the hell with those guys..'' He stood up, walking while groaning of all the pains he felt around his body. Carter noticed Kaede being surrounded by some merchants, thus looking at her with a annoyed grin. ''Bunch of desperate fools..'' He pulled out a knife, throwing it at the head of a merchant. ''Hey bastards! Want the girl?'' He yelled while trying not to groan.

The merchants saw their buddy die and ran away into the other side of the town.

Carter walked up to Kaede, grabbing her clothes along the way. ''Need help?'' He told her again, hoping he wouldn't be thrown into a wall again.

Ayla placed her hand on Hurati's lips, touching them softly. ''How far are you going to go for these people?'' She whispered in his ear again, giggling in a childish way.

[Hurati]

Hurati grabbed her hand and stepped backwards, he also released his aura and was forced to use his staff to hold himself up. "..... Stand down, then we'll talk. I will do what needs to be done to protect them." He dropped her hand and then fell to one knee, almost completely spent. He panted and concentrated on staying awake, he was tired and hungry again.

Ayla turned around, giggling like a child. ''I will stand down then.'' She tried to release her aura, but something was holding her back. ''What would you do?'' Ayla asked him, her corrupted self taking over her.

[Hurati]

Hurati looked back up at her, "I would.... ask myself what...... what do I need this power for? We have it to.... protect the people, not...... murder them." He panted this out and wondered what she had actually meant by the question.

Ayla stopped for a second as her aura grew smaller. ''What would you do.. To keep them safe?'' She asked him, using her index finger to make him look at her. If she continued to be corrupted, it wouldn't take long before she gave in to the voice that kept whispering into her mind.
