An unexpected Return

[Tari]

((Ok this is just my way of FINALLY getting back to RPing. Anybody can Join!!))

The air was still, stagnant, and silent. Nothing dared to disturb the clam that had so effeciantly swept upon this part of the land. The leaves dangled without life from the limbs of the trees, the trunks sunken in. No signs of life could be found anywhere in the abundant natural resources, everything was quiet, for now atleast.

The sun tried with all its strength to peirce its bright tubes of gold light through the thick, dense canopy of the tree. The little rays that did make through, splased into a burst of yellow and orange on the ground.

Then adding to the yellow, theme, a young girl, only in her early twenties emerged from the thick foilage of the forest. Her eyes were a blend of green and blue, full of sheer curiousity. Her golden hair fell straight to her shoulders, resting there as if on a perch. Her face was spread into a smile, she hadn't been on Fyia in awhile, her return was unknown and would most likely be a suprise to those she left behind.

Of course, where would Tari be without Jazz? None-the-less, the Palamino stallion was only a few paces behind. He gorgeous locks of blonde mane fell onto his withers. His eyes were mystic, firey, and powerful. His muscles rippled with every imense stride he took. His flanks were over-flowing with intimidation.

Tari stopped in her track, eyes darting around, observing. She was just happy to be what she now called "home".

[Tenshi]

it seemed years ago when Tenshi had alighted on this heafty limb of the magnifecent tree. she had just snuggled agenst the trunck and looked up into the foliage, letting her thoughts wander. her wings were almost completly retracted into little foofs of cotton on her back exactly like clouds in the sky. her blue skin seemed darcker that natural due to the shade of the oak she nested in.

a sudden crunch of dead leaves awakened her. fast. she looked down to see whoever was below.

[glow=red,2,300]hay...who's there?[/glow]

[Tari]

The sudden voice of an unknown source bounded through Tari's ears and mind. Without a minute hesitation her eyes flicked upward, staring curiously at whatever it was that spoke.

The golden wall of horse, Jazz, burst into a series of furious kicks and rears. His ears were pinned back and eyes narrow.

"It's me!" Tari called back smuggly

She was never too inviting to strange voices that she couldn't indentify. She stopped awaiting a reply, still skeptical, but somewhat kind.

[Gai]

Sitting behind his friend Tari, Gai laughed ti himself. He got up and walked over to her side. He put his hand on her shoulder as he walked by and told her in a soft voice, "Don't worry. They are of no harm to us or anyone. They're friendly from the brain signals that I'm getting. And they're the only ones around for miles." he said aswalked past.

"Hello, who's there? Don't worry, we won't hurt you." he said in a calm voice as he looked around at the general direction from which the brain signatures where coming from. He then turned around and walked back to his seat. "Now all we have to do is wait." he said as he laid back in his chair. He always wondered why people were always so up tight about what they couldn't see. Maybe it was becuase they were unable to sence what was there like he and only another select few could.

As he sat and waited,he looked over the form of Tari. she looked nervous. He looked up to see Skarlath flying low above. It wasn't until he saw him dive was it that he saw that she had her horse with her. He had to act quickly. If he didn't move just at the right moment, the life of Tari' horse and maybe his own might be lossed.

Skarlath had his eyes set on the horse. He was extremely hungry and hadn't had any fresh meat in a while. A horse would be a great meal for him. He didn't care if it was owned by a friend of Gai's, he wanted to eat and that was all he cared about.

In a flash, he was in a dive, eyes focused on the horse. talons extended, beak open. He was ready for a kill. It was just as he was ten feet from the horse that gai made his move. He jumped up and in the blink of an eye, he was in the air and landed on the great hawks back. He pulled back on the hawk neck, causing him to pull up out of a dive. "No!! What the hell are you thinking. attacking her horse like that?" he shouted at him as he landed not ten feet away.

"I'm sssorry. I couldn't help myssself. I haven't had any fresssh meat in a few dayssss and I jussst sssaw the horssse and thought it might tasssste good." Skarlath said in a sorry tone.

"Ok, just don't so it again. Or I'll have to beat some sence into you if you no what I mean." he sai as he walked over to tari. "sorry about that. He was really hunry and thought that your horse would taste good. And well......he sort of lost it. But it's ok. He knows now that if he does it again, he'll pay." he said with a slight smile on his face.

[Tari]

While all this had occured, Jazz had stood his ground. Nostrils a flared red, muscles large and intimidating, tail slicing through the air with aggitation. His ears were pinned flat against his beautifully crafted head. His eyes were blank without emotion, but quickly a flame of fury consumed him. The gorgeous thorougbred stall reared, hooves flailing, teeth shown.

Tari glanced at her misbehaving stallion, with cold steely green eyes. Quickly, Jazz brought himself down to earth, ears still flat back. He whinnied shrilly in dominance before retreating to Tari's side.

"He has a name you know, beside, horse." Tari addressed Gai in a familiar joking way

Solemly she paced her way over to her old friend and found a comfortable spot to lounge in. Her golden hair hung on her shoulders, glistening in the little sun that did peirce the tree-tops.

"So, where have you been?" Tari asked, looking back to Gai

[Gai]

Laughing at the mock seriousness of Tari, Gai sat up a bit. "Oh, I'm sorry. He was after Jazz. There happy." he said with a giant grin on his face. He then sat back again and pulled his hat over his eyes. He thought about what he had just been asked and how to best answer it. after a few moments, he replied. "I've been around. I'm seen only when I want to be, and I'm never too far away from a friend, no matter how far away they maybe." he sid in a serious voice.

Next to him, Skarlath was sitting there, sleeping peacefully. He had been on a long and hard journey and deserved the rest. "I think you kmow my friend Skarlath." he said with a smile. the last time they had met, he recalled Skarlath being rather rude to her. This is only what he had been told, seeing as he had been in a burning building, fighting for his life but...after that, he hadn't seen Tari since, well ok he saw her at the party but that was only for a breif moment.

"I've been fighting in the war, trainning new recruits mostly. I have one student though that is remarkable skilled at the use of swords. Soon, she'll be ready for a real sparr." he sid as he flicked out his dagger, throwing it aimlessly at a near by tree, pinning a butterfly to it. "So, what have you been up to? And why haven't I seen you in ages?" he asked as he got up lazily and walked over to retreave his dagger. He still wondered why whoever it was that was so near by hadn't shown themselves yet. He knew they wouldn't hurt them or anyone else. "So....am I gonna get an answer? Or am I gonna have to tickle it out of you?" he said with a slightly mischivous grin on his face.

[Sulvrin]

Deeper into the woods, a dark figure was laying on the ground, covered by some shrubbery. Sulvrin, through the scope of his sniper disrupter rifle watched the other people. With a black hat to cover his bright orange, spiked hair, and completely black clothes, Sulvrin could stay hidden and go unnoticed.

As he sat there, slowly drinking a beer, he thought about what he should do. He could shoot them all down right now, but this time he didn’t really want to. He could also go there and start a fight, or have a different approach this time. He decided to do something that he’s never done before.

Sulvrin stood up, took off his black hat, and put the rifle on his back. He then walked over to the people who never knew that he was watching them. As he got nearer to them, he spoke up. “Hey, what are you all doing here? I mean it’s kind of strange to see a bunch of people in the middle of some woods.” Sulvrin asked.

[Gai]

Hearing the mans voice, Gai spunn around instantly. He knew that this man was no friend of theirs and had intentions that he did not wish to see followed through.Tari, stay behind me. I can see past his eyes. He is one of the enemy. But not just one, he is the second under the one they call Zagur. he told her telepathically. He had the Sword of Seals half drawn. He knew this man was up to no good. No matter how hard he tried to act as if he wasn't, Gai could always tell.

"What is your buisness here?" he asked as he steped forwards. Showing no fear of the man before him. this, this was the man whu had helped Zagur attack the New Wave Base? Pathetic. This man was absolutlu no threat too him as far as he could see. "I'll ask you only once more kindly. What is your buisness here?" he asked once more, an agitated voice.

He was losing his patince. He wanted this man to go so he and his friend could continue what they had been doing...enjoying the nice day.

[Sulvrin]

“What am I doing here? I was just flying my ship over when I saw you down here on my sensors. Then, I came to investigate. You still didn’t answer my question. Why are you here?” Sulvrin explained and asked.

Sulvrin could tell that Gai was nervous and agitated upon his arrival. Could he know who I am? Why else would he be so nervous? Sulvrin thought as he stood there, leaning against a tree. That is when he noticed that Gai had his sword partly drawn. Sulvrin now started to reach for a pistol. It’s too bad that I left my axe in the ship. A good fight would be cool.

Sulvrin just waited there to see what the others were going to do. He didn’t want to start a fight right then, but it looked as if Gai might. He was now holding his pistol, ready to pull it out and use it if necessary.

[Gai]

Seeing the man reach for his pistol, Gai knew that this was truely the man he thought he was. "What we are doing here is of no buisness to you." he said with a snear. He began to mutter under his breath. from behind the man, a great shadow serpeant lurked on the edge of the woods. If h tried anything, it would attack on the spot.

"So, you don't wish to answer me? Instead, you wish to fight. and the answer to your question is yes. I do know who you are....Sulvrin!! You're the one responsible for all those sniping attcks at the Academy when Zagur attacked. yes, I know exactly who oyu are. And it won't be long before you know who I am." he said in a low tone. the light in his eyes where lite and he ment to kill if he had too. Gai was at a dangerous point and if Sulvrin wasn't careful, he'd find himself in a world of hurt. No matter how many times Gai was shot at, he woouldn't stop until he was dead as well. That's just how it would be.

"I sujest you leave if you value your life....scum!!!!!!" he snarled. He knew what would happen next, all he needed to do was wait.

[Tari]

Tari had replaced herself in a stance, relaxed and calm. She wasn't the least bit frightened pf this Sulvrin character, for she too was a sniper. She knew everything there was.

With a smug attitude the blonde, rolled her eyes and sighed heavily. She took two paces and grabbed Gai's hand, entwining her fingers with his and swiflty pulling him back. She released her grip and shoved her way past the ready to fight, Gai. She laughed almost mockingly at both their behaviors.

"No guys, no need for fight."she then directed her attention to Sulvrin, "I was here, wishing to return to Fyia quietly almost without notice, until I made it to the city, that why I am here." the young elven woman's voice carried a warm, not violent tone.

Tari raised her hand and paused. The wall of golden palamino, Jazz, moved onward without thought. Leaving behind Tari and the others, this was no place for a stallion at the moment.

Then removing herself from between Gai and Sulvrin she once again observed her surrounding and patiently awaited what would happen next.

[Gai]

Looking at the woman before him with a look of bewilderment. "What do you mean? I had no intention to fight, until this sum appeared. Do you know who this man is? He's the one that helped the Human Typhon; Zagur at the New Wave Millitary!!" he said in a cailm yet agitated voice.

He knew she was right but he hated being wrong. But as he looked from her to the man before him, he decided that he should shoulder hispride for the time being and wait for a better time to deal with him. "Leave us now. We have done nothing wrong and wish to be left to do what we please." he said as he resheathed his blade and turning his back towards Sulvrin. Btu even though he didn't have his blade, the serpent stayed were it was, stalking him, never lettin him out of its sight. If Sulvrin still tried anything, he would still be doomed to die with them. "Now, will you please leave?" Gai asked once again, his back still towards Sulvrin.
