((Continued.))
Kathryn carefully stepped out of the portal upon the soft ground, her eyes squeezed shut out of fear. If nothing else, that mode of transpotration was impresesive, but also very frightening.
I wish that I could do something like that.
She had taken a few steps before she embarassedly realised that she was still holding onto DarkUmbra's hand. She let go and turned her head away, shyly avoiding eye contact. She filled her lungs with a deep breath of the warm post-sunset air. She smiled in gratuity to the gods for presenting her with such an awe-inspiring night.
"It's beautiful, don't you think?" she asked DarkUmbra in a gentle voice. She tilted her head upwards, towards the stars, and silently admired them.

DarkUmbra collapsed on the ground and began to pant. That warp had taken too much energy. If not necessary do not do that again. However landing in the shadows was a plus as he was instantly healed. He absorbed his mist, as it was dark out, and 'stared' into Kathryne's eyes. [glow=purple,2,300]I beg your pardon, could you repeat that? Wow, isn't that sunset beautiful?[/glow]

"Yeah, that's what I said." she smiled for a second and then turned back to look at him, laying on the ground.
"Hey, are you okay?" she asked anxiously, kneeling by him with concern thick in her voice, "Is there anything that I can do to help you?"
Used too much energy.
She pulled her backpack over her shoulder and pulled out a canteen. Not the green one, but a red one, full of a different substance. "Here. Drink some of this. It'll help replenish your energy." She held out the canteen for her friend.

DarkUmbra's bones healed by being welded by the shadows. His energy was replenished by absorbing the shadows around him. He regained his bearrings and stood up. Kneeled for just a moment and the shadows nearest him grew a darker black and spiralled in and around him untill they were absorbed into his skin. Once again he 'stared' into Kathryne's eyes not realizing that he had been for like five minutes.
[glow=purple,2,300]Much gratification, but no thank you. As long as I am in the shadows I will be fine. I appreciate the offer. That sunset is almost as beautiful as you right now. Sunsets are my favorite time of day.[/glow]

Kathryn slowly withdrew her hand, and shoved her waterbottle back into her backpack. DarkUmbra had a very locking gaze, she was having trouble looking away. A slight breeze picked up and a lock of hair fell into her eyes. She looked towards the ground and gently brushed the lock our of her face.
That sunset is almost as beautiful as you right now.
"Thanks . . ." she smiled at the ground, reaching with her mind into the sheltering coolness of the grains of sand.
I wonder how long he'll have to stay in there, we can't really enjoy the full beauty of the beach if he's trapped in the shadows . . . can we? Oh I don't know.

DarkUmbra sensed Kathryn's tenseness. He hoped that he had not done something wrong again. He began to walk down the beach absorbing the scenic beauty. Even if Kathryn hated him, he could still appreciate the moment for what it was. He began to sing a song of the ancient tounge.

The melody of the ancient song drifted to her ears and came alive. The words seemed familiar, but somehow distant. "It's beautiful . . . where'd you learn it?" she asked softly.
Bored.
She was walking now, trying to stay at a steady pace with DarkUmbra. The cool night air pressed in around her, but it wasn't nearly as bad as the cold in the mountains. She smiled peacefully and wrapped her arms around her small frame, trying to stay warm. The sun was almost completly gone from the sky now, and the moon was replacing it gloriously. The mage couldn't help but smile.

DarkUmbra flinched as soon as he realized that he had been singing. He felt bad about negating Kathryn. She couldn't have like that. But. . . she was smiling. DarkUmbra again began to smile. DarkUmbra tensed up.
[glow=purple,2,300]Should we. . .maybe. . .hold hands?[/glow]

A childish laugh escaped Kathryn's lips before she could stop it. All of a sudden, she felt ridiculously shy.
Shy, but safe. Comforted.
She walked over to DarkUmbra and slipped her hand into his, noiselessly. Then she looked him in hi eyes and smiled for a second before shyly dropping her gaze agai. A cloud seemed to have descended over her, like she was one of the only two people in the world that night. . .

DarkUmbra smiled passionately at Kathryn while 'staring' into her eyes. At this time, there was nothing else in the world. Everything else was totally annuled, and don't tell him because he doesn't care. Suddenly, he instantly became flooded with past emotions, and all of them bad. He remembered the torture, the injustice, the violence, the destruction, the hatred, the killing, and just the torment he recieved all at once. Then, just as suddenly as they had arrissen, they were dicipated, and he no longer felt the torment he once had. Almost as if Kathryn could drive them away.

((w00t! Headbanging part!! ^____^!! So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye . . . Wait, where am I again? Right.))
Torture. Injustice. Violence. Destruction. Hatred. Killing. Torment.
The emotions were painfully vivid, and almost overwhelming. She didn't quite understand why he was feeling all of these things just at this moment, but she did know that she should help ease this burden. Her hand clasped his a bit tighter and she rubbed his palm with her fingers.
It's going to be okay . . .
The feelings already seemed to have lessened, but she fished through her memory banks for a spell of easing, just in case.
Life and death surrounds you As it does us all, pressing Pulling, eating, but it's too much Come with me, I'll ease your pain Take away this burden and Quench that undying thirst for truth.
She loved how all of her spells seemed more like poetry than magic. It made it that much more fun to preform them. Although they didn't really rhyme . . .

DarkUmbra felt the burden of horrible memories slowly lifting from him. He clutched Kathryn's hand tighter, and began to appreciate her even more for her kindness. He was truely in love. He felt much better now, and his emotions no longer troubled him now. Being with Kathyrn had something to do with it he was sure.
[glow=purple,2,300]. . . Thank. You. So much. I have no idea what that was, but thank you so much for supporting me.[/glow]

Kathryn smiled contentedy. "Anytime." She leaned slightly on DarkUmbra's shoulder, enjoying being with him on this glorious night.
Thoughts of weddings and children ran though her head, though nothing was serious. It was all part of the glory of dating. You could do anything, think anything, and say whatever you wanted, and you 'temporary insanity' could just be blamed on harmones and such.
Love. Mutual? True.
It was a mixed signal, but still reassuring. the smile that lit Kathryn's face played in her eyes, dancing like an unhindered flame. She had her spirit, her 'life energy' back. And it felt good.

DarkUmbra smiled passionatley back at Kathryn. He 'stared' deeply into her eyes. He loved her more than anything else. He began to lean in without realizing it.
New emotions filled his head. Love, companionship, compassion, caring. He wondered that if with these new emotions would come new abilities. More of his negative emotions surged forward and were destroyed. He loved every second spent with Kathryn.

Kathryn was leaning on his soulder, and he back on hers. An almost overwhleming sensation of happiness filled her heart. She closed her eyes and focused all of her energy on this moment. her heart was fluttering in an oddly wonderful way. She bit her lip to keep from squealing.
Her gaze locked with DarkUmbra's, and she smiled contentidly, making sure that he could see that she was enjoying herself.
