Rayan was walking alone underneath the bright light of the stars above. He looked up, his eyes filled with wonder and amazement at such a beautiful sight. Rayan looked back down at the ground, as he walked, hands in the pockets of his yellow fighter pants, to a soft, round hill. He lay down, and looked up at the stars once again. Rayan shut his eyes, and relaxed on the lush, refreshing grass of the field.
His mind traveled back to many things... He thought of Ria...His fight with Renim, the Vutrex incident...his battles with Sarmir...
He thought about Fyia and how there was probably going to be a war soon.
Fyia used to be so peaceful... he thought. Why does someone have to go off and cause so much violence and pain, just for entertainment? And why do I have to suffer so much? Just what did I do? Curse my fate...
Rayan tried to relax under the compelling shine of the stars, but his mind would not keep from going adrift to thoughts of many painful and troubling things......

((Here I go...))
Tari walked steadily up a large, rotund hill, driving herself futher up it every stride. Her walking created a slow rythym, consistantly sending her to the top.
[glow=pink,2,300]Just keep going.[/glow]
She was slightly hunced, flowing blonde hair sliding from its perch on her shoulders. Her fericly green eyes peirced through the thick blades of long-growing grass as she rose to a straight posture, a-top of the hill.
A slight breeze blew, softly cradling Tari's chin and brushing out her hair. She stood still, not knowing what else to do, but think, her mind ran away from her...
[glow=pink,2,300]It's peaceful, just like most of Fyia use to be. It has all changed though, as have I[/glow]
She stood only a few feet away from Rayan, her eyes driting across the beutifully star-dotted night sky.
((bad i know, but oh well.))

Rayan heard the sound of footsteps and got up with a start. He whipped out his dual plasma autorifles and aimed them at the sleek silhouette before him. Rayan slowly drew closer, until......
He realised that this wasn't a man. Huh? Who is this? he thought to himself, puzzled. I guess she won't be any trouble...might as well talk to her. Rayan put away his weapons and drew up close to the girl, whom he had never seen before. She was beautiful...her silky hair glistened under the light of the stars like a twinkle in the heavens. Rayan didn't know how to address her...he had no clue as how to befriend total strangers...... "Um...Hi there!" he called out to her. "Isn't it a little late for you to be out here all alone?" he asked. "I mean, there's been lots of trouble lately, and..." Smooth, Rayan. he thought, regretting already his introduction. She's gonna thank you a lot for doubting her abilities...if it were Kami, she would have smacked you hard...

At the sound of guns being drawn Tari went into defense mode. She had no guns, but reached down into her pocket, finger wrapping around handle. She whipped her hand out, a pocket knife grasped inside.
The blade was small, but sharp, very sharp. The stell glinted off the moon and danced over Tari's eyes. Her eyes narrowec cutting through the dark and looking at a figure in wich she could easily see. Her grip on the knife loosened and secretly she slid back into her pocket.
"I can take care of myself. Now i must be asking you the same." Tari called out
She knew this was a man, she smiled to herself tossed her hair from one shoulder to another. The breeze continued to blow, softly running Tari's face.

A sweatdrop rolled down the side of Rayan's head. Like I thought...she's stronger than first meets the eye... I suppose I could try to become her friend...I learned before that if you get a woman pissed in this solar system, they try to bump you off......Like Aran...
Rayan drew up close to the girl, and asked her, "So, what is your name? I haven't met you before..." Rayan trailed off, not having a clue as to what he should say next. Rayan wasn't accustomed to talking to strangers...especially girls. He tried to put that disadvantage behind him for now, as he tried to think of a way to befriend her.
"...So, um, what do you do for a living? I'm a weapons merchant..." he said, not knowing how to start a worthy conversation. "...Business wasn't very good before, but people are buying again now that there's a possiblity of a war starting..."
...Curse whoever is behind the attempts to erupt this peaceful world in the boiling fires of death and war... Rayan thought, his teeth gritting for a moment as his thoughts turned back to the events of a few days past... ...Puralgatha... {This thread is after the mass destruction thread}

Tari looked at the man, eyes showing no expression, she was careful to show no expression towards strangers. She tilted her head some then shifted to face the man.
"I'm Tari. I'm a Marine Corps General. I think war is a waste of time on this planet." Tari released words smoothly from her mouth, the seemed to just roll off her tounge
[glow=pink,2,300]He doesn't seem too bad...[/glow]
She tucked her hair behind her ears and stared once more up at the night sky. The reflection of the stars glittered in her eyes and skipped over her golden blonde hair.

Rayan's eyes met the expressionless eyes of the battle-hardened general. He lowered his head and clenched his fist.
"...A war on Fyia would be more than a waste of time...war is a waste of life." Rayan's thoughts flashed back to the incident at Puralgatha that had occurred but a few days ago...Kruck and his cronies had set up mines all over the city, and Rayan had tried to diffuse them...Then, all hell broke loose...
"...I'm being forced by the Puralgatha City Council to serve them, by whatever means I choose, to help them fight in a battle that is none of my concern..." Rayan said, returning to the conversation. A flash of fire was lit in his eyes as he gazed at the stars. "...I came from a planet very far away from here...I want nothing to do with this world...I came only to...oh, nevermind." Rayan cut himself off, and turned towards Tari again, his eyes staring at the ground. "That doesn't concern you...what does it matter? ...you probably don't care."

Tari turned her head to Rayan, heres had a spark of interest and intregue. Her face now had a sudden light to it.
"Go on. What did you come here for?" Tari questioned, a light tone to her voice
The grass shifted under her feet as the wnd changed directions. Her hair blew forward infront of her and swirled around. It whipped in her face, Tari couldn't help, but smiled. She shoved it behind her ears once more and sighes as the breeze became softer. She folded her arms and out all her weight on one leg, awaiting Rayan's response.

Rayan looked up at her, his heart touched a little by her sudden interest.
"You...sure that you want to know?" he said, not awaiting her answer. He sat down on the cool, lush grass and turned away from her, but spoke loudly so that she could hear him distictly.
"Well...as I said I'm not from this world. I originally came from a planet on the far side of this galexy. I was commander of the space fleet of my country......we were all fighting for freedom...freedom from the horrible oppression of that evil and twisted man, Shishio Akuno..." Rayan began. His face hinted sorrow and he flinched as he relayed to her the details.
"Shishio was evil and cruel. He not only attacked us and enslaved us unprovoked, but he many a time killed entire cities that he had conquered, and mocked them in their demise...He would burn cities full of women and children, holding the men bound and forcing them to watch their families die slow and twisted deaths...... I could not let my beloved country of Nicari suffer this man. ......After a time, I was sent to Ria on a mission to recruit some powerful warriors or armies to help us in our plight. Following the rumors I had heard that this realm was filled with powerful magic users, soldiers, blademasters, and the like, I traveled alone to my destination...
"........But the Rian government forbade that I should receive any help. This war of independance did not benefit them in any way, or so they said......I tried to contact Nicari to give them my report, but I recieved no response...I feared the worst." Here, Rayan paused for a moment, collecting his thoughts, and turned towards Tari and looked her dead on in the eyes.
"...I remained in Ria for some time. I knew that I couldn't return to Nicari empty handed......So I began my weapon business. Though I never wanted to hand out weapons into the hands of murderers, this galaxy does not have enough material to supply weaponry, as the Milky Way does. This galexy is full of liquid and gas fuel however, meaning that most of my other options for successful business were sunk...Since Ria was filled with powerful warriors, I had no choice but to supply what was in demand...weaponry. So due to the economic situation, I created many news kinds of guns...
"After a year or so, business had made me quite successful. I could even afford my own private airship, and plenty of fuel for the fighter I had come there with... One day, I picked up the newspaper and read about an android called Renim... she too killed people for enjoyment and demostrating her power. To make the long story short, I fought her, yet she lived...... She destroyed part of the Cylinder Space Station, and whatever happened to her since, I had not known...
After this great incident, I traveled here to Fyia...and as you know, a few days ago a group of outlaws tried to blow the city to molocules...I tried to stop them, but then......I met up with Renia, {Assuming...geez if she'd post then the details might be filled in} who apparently was the new form of Renim's soul passed on......
"No matter how much I fight evil, all turns for the worst. Now, Puralgatha thinks that since I was part of those who fought to save the city, they can now order me around as they please. Either I find a way to 'further their cause' as they put it, or they will blast my ship down with their below-surface planetary defense lasers if I try to leave the atmosphere for home...So now I can't even give up and leave......"
Rayan trailed off, and clutched onto a fistful of grass. He held it up and let the blades drift off with the wind. Despair was in his eyes... he felt so entirely hopeless that he didn't think that he could handle any more sadness. He looked back up at Tari, and said to her,
"So...that is more or less my story......I suppose...that it doesn't concern you much...does it?"

Tari looked to Rayan, her eyes sparkled with sarcasim and had a flicker of fun hidden within. Her face seemed to brighten as an idea swirled within her mind. She turned her back to him and smiled widely. The grass twitched beneath her feet.
"Well, enough of this depressing stuff." Tari commented to him
Her hair settled back on her shoulders, glinting in the moon. She was breathing slowly, a smile still stretched across her face. She wanted to have fun, but she was too content in her spot to move. The stars captivated her attention and soon she became wrapped within their beauty.

Rayan sighed softly. "Just as I thought...oh well, that was to be expected..."
Rayan was starting to notice how free in spirit she was, and how independant...
Funny...she's just like Kami...
"...So what are you doing here on this planet for?" he asked her. "I mean, you don't seem like the kind of girl who likes to sit around doing nothing, right?"

Tari didn't speak immeadiately, she waited for the words to come to her. She didn't look to Rayan the stars continued to keep her attention.
"I was sent here to fight. I can never sit still, I love to have fun. Unfortunately, I haven't had fun in awhile." Tari admitted undoubtfully
The mooned continued its sparkling dance over Tari's eyes as she stared skyward. She loved it out here, but it was time for her to have fun. She turned to Rayan and smiled, her teeth a sparkling white.

"Hm, sent to fight...I suspected as much. Hey wait a second..." Rayan paused, looking a little worriedly at Tari. "...Just what do you mean by...'fun', anyway?" Rayan took a cautious step back, and a bead of sweat rolled down the back of his head.
She isn't wild like Kami, too, is she? Oh boy...

Her smile faded and slowly grew into a frown. The fire that dazzled in her eyes died out and her bright face became dull.
"Fun as in, lets go to a club of talk or do something new fun." Tari yelped out while turning away from Rayan
She felt as if she had been rejected by because of a simple term. She didn't want to face, for she had been rejected one too many times in her life.
Her hair slipped from her shoulder and hung ifront of her shoulder. The stars abover her seemed to flicker out at the sense of her tense mood. The breeze stopped blowing and the grass stopped shifting.
All was quiet now, waiting to be uplifted once more.
((Sorry its bad im in a rush))

Rayan's face went blank. "Oops...I hope I didn't say anything wrong, did I? I mean uh...er..." Rayan said, realizing he just messed up something beautiful.
Good job, dork boy. You totally just turned her off by being a complete idiot...you really are the dorky salesclerk Kurai makes you out to be... Rayan thought to himself, or more like AT himself. A sweatdrop fell from his head as I tried to think of something to say that would redeem him.
"Hey, don't let it get to you...I always get this uptight around girls as pretty as you." Rayan walked around to her side and looked deeply into her eyes.
"I mean, I do the same thing whenever I'm around my girlfriend..." Rayan froze, realizing what he just said.
"OH %&@$ I'M SUCH AN IDIOT!!!" he yelled, holding his hands to his head.
Smooth, Rayan. Real smooth. She might even give you something classier than a punch to the face for that one...
