The grey, sulfuric mist swirled engulfing the world in a cloud of rotton-egg scent. The buildings were all grey walls grey cement wall, riddledwith stress lines, and streaked orange by rusting beams and acid rain. The ground, too, was grey cracking cement. But, where the cement no longer stood, no plants grew in the cracks. Instead, the horrible steam that filled the air rose from these cracks.
The street were deserted, except for a lone figure. She slumped against one of the massive structures, coughing deeply. She had just inhailed a breath of the posinious, choking gas that wafted up through the vents. She was slim, and young, but she looked as though she had seen pleanty for her years.
She stared glassy eyed out, her lips cracking. There was no water anywhere to be had. None at all. Her lips slowly began to bleed as the slumped against the building, unable to do anything for herself other than moan slowly.

From his perch atop a building, Saiyaku noticed a girl across the street who seemed to be in pain. He took pity on her and pulled a flask of water from his coat and jumped to the street without making a sound. He drew himself to full height and began to walk towards her.
"Are you all right? I couldn't help but notice that you were in need of something."
He knelt down in front of her and offered the flask of water...

Mellira blinked glassy eyes. There was a dark shape huddled infront of her. She couldn't make it out. Was it a fantom that came from illness?
Then, she saw it held water. Water! Surely this was a fantom. Hadn't she imagined water before her a hundred times before. Still, she accepted the water flask. She always accepted the water flask from her fantoms, because once in a while, the fantom might be real.
This time, it was.
After a long and refreshing drink, Mellira managed to lick her cracking lips and whisper, "Thank you" Then, she curled up in a ball. She was worn out again, and she had swallowed some of the posion along with the water. What she needed now was rest, and healing.

Saiyaku stood up, looking down on the girl...she looked so innocent. Alone, in the corner, curled into the fetal position. He turned and began to walk away but halted.
"If you need me...you'll know where I will be."
Thus spake the watcher of night...

Mellira coughed and nodded at the fantom. The water had been real. Sweet water that soothed her aching throat. Then, she let herself sleep. She would find the kind fantom later.

~~Later that night...~~
Saiyaku stood atop the tallest building in the city, staring down at the streets below. Watching. Waiting. For what he wasn't sure ofbut deep down in his gut he felt he should wait. And when it finally came, he would know...

(((ok this thread seems active and i am bored....i just heard the loudest bang of thunder....it shook my intire house....really, that was awsome...if it rains i am goin outside...i take it back...that was the loudest)))
Boku walked down the lonly streets hopping to find a place he could sit down and think about his past. This spot came in the form of a battered peice of sidwalk under an old stress worn building. Boku closed his eyes, and felt the stump he had left of his right arm. He felt tarible, his sword which held much deep meaning to him that was crafted by a dear friend, whom was killed by Rukeem's hands, was broken. Boku opened his eyes pulled the hilt of the broken sword out of his trench coat, and stared at it for a moment then slid it back into the pocket it had been residing in.
Boku once again closed his eyes and let his head fall back against the stone wall of the building. He could smell and taste poisenous gasses seeping out from the cracks in the ground.
[glow=White,2,300]Tenshi, i wish you were here with me i need you...[/glow]
Boku wanted to see Tenshi but didn't want to show her what had happened to him.

Slowly, Mellira awakened. Her sleep had been trouble, clouded withd reams of death and decay, dreams that came from this place. Her throat was dry, again, and the sulfurious air was infecting her lungs. She sighed, itched a patch of dry skin developing on her arm where clothing had slipped during the night, and settled back into her place. She wasn't sure where she was any more as she slipped back into her old childhood nightmares.

Boku looked around at the surounding area, and caught a glimps of a small woman on leaning on the side of the building across from him whom appeared to be in much pain. Boku stood and hobbled over to her, Boku also had a bad limp from the fight with Rukeem. He knelt donw and shook the woman to wake her, he knew that if she stayed in this place for to long she could die.
[glow=red,2,300]"Hey if you are going to sleep do it eles were, you can die out here. Come with me ill give you a place to stay."[/glow]
Boku said to her in a soft kind voice.

Watching in the darkness given off by a nearby building, Shadow slowly and quietly followed the two waiting for the right moment to reveal himself. Knowing he wasnt in any condition to fight he watched them until he could help in any way.

Boku knelt down beside the woman, waiting for any type of responce. Suddenly he caught a wiff of something that was not suppossed to be there. Instantly Boku jumpped up and drew his Desert Eagle, with his left hand although the stump of a right arm that he had also moved as if it were going to grab a second gun, and pointed it in the direction he smelled the new commer. Boku was ready to fight one arm and all if he had to.
[glow=red,2,300]"Who's there?"[/glow]

Mellira started awake at the sound of the voice. It had been far away, so she believed it to be part of her nightmare. The slice of a blade across her little finger startled her.
Before she could bring her bleeding finger to her lips, Mellira was seized with a fight of coughing. The air was acidic and it bit at her throat. She wondered how the man just inside her range of vision could breath in the air. Even with a cloth covering her nose and mouth, she still struggled.
So, Mellira sat and watched, fighting unconciouness.

Fearing a fight Shadow withdrew his pistols...
I mean you no harm
He reached into his cloak and pulled out several flasks of water and gas masks...
I only wish to help
Handing the items to the man Shadow noticed the woman beside him looked like she was in a great deal of pain...
We must find shelter
Without a word more he strode into the nearest building...

Mellira stumbled to her feet and sighed. She was exhausted, but she managed to follow the creature called "the shadow" because he had water. She needed the water, needed it badly. Dizzyness hit her as she stumbled and fell back onto the uneven concreat of the street.

Hearing the sudden thud Shadow quickly turned around to find the woman once again unconscious and struggling to breath, without a word he picked her up and continued in to a completely sealed off room in which not as much toxins and gases leaked through.
