Closed Night and Day (Ixzo)

The Wilderness of Cyphrus is an endless sea of tall grass that rolls just like the oceans themselves. Geysers kiss the sky with their steamy breath, and mysterious craters create microworlds all their own. But above all danger lives here in the tall grass in the form of fierce wild creatures; elegant serpents that swim through the land like whales through the ocean and fierce packs of glassbeaks that hunt in packs which are only kept at bay by fires. Traverse it carefully, with a guide if possible, for those that venture alone endanger themselves in countless ways.

It seems she was not taken with you.

"So it would seem." Evalin whispered, lowering her hand and setting her hand on her hip, "What a pity. I like it when they squirm."

She is too base for such things. Evalin could feel him circling around the rocks through the tall grass, having taken on his Familiar form to try and get a better vantage of the creature.

"She could have at least been nicer about it." The Immortal said with an almost pouting tone to her voice, but she was still smiling, "Maybe it is because of the language barrier, or because she is nothing but an animal. I have always wondered how close to higher thought Kelvics were capable of."

She is escaping through the grass. Evalin could feel Tsenrika slightly ahead of her, past the rocks, and through his vision she saw the tip of a twitching black tail as it slipped between the stones and grass and into the night.

Is she? Rolling her neck Evalin pulled upon her djed once more, tracing the lines of her physical being with the silver hands of her mental will as she began to shape the model that had become nearly second nature to her. She felt the skin on her back rippling as mass was pulled from other areas of her body, collected and extended as bone and muscle and sinew to form two growing and stretching masses on her back. These lengthened further, double and then triple in size as thin membranes connected to delicate looking bones until large wings like those of a bat now stretched from her body as if they had always been there.

Two flaps that made the air sigh around her lifted the nuit so that she landed lightly on the stone the Kelvic had recently evacuated. Through her morphed eyes the night was clear, colorless but the details stood out in the limited light. Tsenrika traveled not too far through the grass, as Evalin could feel but not quite see him as he stayed low to the ground. After a few ticks of scanning Evalin was able to make out the very tips of what looked to be ears in the grass.

Crouching as she had seen the kelvic do, her arms elongated slightly so that her palms could rest flatly against the rough stones even as she balanced on the balls of her clawed feet. She then began another series of changes, dancing a delicate weave of her djed to adjust her vocal cords, stretching them and expanding both her lungs and her throat so that she could pull in a great chest full of air. Eyes never blinking the immortal stretched open her jaw, wider and wider as the magic vibrated through her very being until the opening was nearly twice that of what it once was. Then, when all was prepared Evalin rocked forward, expelling out all the gathered air into a wail that rocked the night and filled the silence with her unnatural call. Louder still, higher still, Evailn gave no mind to who or what else might be about for her eyes were focused only on one thing. The Kelvic.

While still releasing that ghastly wail Evalin beat the two great canopies of her wings, pushing off the rock with hands and feet to climb steadily into the air, catching upon the wind and soaring out and over where she thought the Kelvic was, an unnatural bat in the sky who had a taste for blood.

Follow close on the ground, and I shall pursue from the sky. Evalin commanded, the amusement returning as a hint of excitement filled her ancient soul, I am curious to see what the creature does.

Wretched Aura: As a Wretched One Evalin possesses an unnatural aura about her that causes unease in those who get too close. It can come as a prickle of the hair on the back of the neck, a sense of 'wrongness' about her. How people experience it is different depending on their personality and how they handle the unnatural and unknown. Animals tend to become more agitated, more easily sensing how wrong Evalin is and often avoiding contact with her.

It would be a lie to say that Ixzo wasn't immediately spooked by the strange noise. She was used to having the loudest roar, so the wail that echoed above her seemed insulting. Done with slinking away, Ixzo stood straight, silver eyes turning back towards the rock to find the dead creature had morphed into something far more gruesome, she didn't like it. Almost as a challenge, Ixzo let her own roar loose, which would surely leave even the dead creature's ears ringing. But that didn't make Ixzo turn back towards whatever horrifying figure the damned thing had turned into.

But as she left the aura, Ixzo could relax a bit more, collecting her thoughts. This was her territory. She didn't know Cyphrus as well as the Drykas, but she was sure this thing didn't know the grasslands nearly as well as her. Let it try to follow her. Ixzo bristled at the thought but continued on, stealth no longer in mind.

It wasn't long though, when Ixzo realized the sky was not the only place to be looking for a follower. The lioness stopped suddenly, which gave her sensitive ears just enough time to hear the rustling of grass behind her. Whirling backwards, Ixzo scanned the grass. She lowered the weight onto her paws, balancing close to the ground. Her tail twitch was almost imperceptible before she waited for one more movement. Taking a deep breathe through her mouth, she tasted nothing. The cold autumn night was only colder. Yet a tang of something alerted her ears forward. Something metallic, she thought. Something not alive… which given her recent interaction, only made the lioness narrow her eyes.

Come out, come out. Her thoughts floated back towards the strange necklace the thing had tossed away. She hadn't even made note of it at the moment, she didn't quite understand human obsession with jewels, but for some reason that detail sprang forth, although Ixzo couldn't think of why. She was facing something, she knew it. But it wasn't alive, else she would have heard it at this proximity. Where are you... Carefully, Ixzo's paws prowled forward, and Ixzo watched for any movement that would give away what was following her. It was only once she saw the faintest glimmer of blue that she pounced.

She has quite a roar. Evalin said, absently rubbing one ear as the ringing began to dissipate, Wonder I if that is an indicator to the strength of her bite.

Doubtful. The Familiar kept a safe distance, floating just above the ground but staying just close enough that he could detect even the slightest of movements from the creature as it escaped through the grass.

My dear Tsenrika, tell me that you do not overestimate your abilities. The wind around her blew back the Immortal's hair, a storm of black threatening to block Evalin's few of the ground, however, one hand captured the tangling locks and pushed them back behind her her ear once more. Eyes scanned the ground, noting the Kelvic's abandoning of stealth for the moment though not paying too much attention to the implications.

It seems she has noticed me. His tone was uncaring, but through his vision Evalin could very well see the Kelvic pausing in her continued retreat to whip backwards, scanning the area with her shimmering eyes.

Need you my assistance then? Already Evalin was beginning to drawn on her power, fingers flexing in anticipation of the magic about to be performed.

No. came the simple reply. Through the bond Evalin could feel the Irylid calling on their combined power, djed swirling past and collecting within his body and spilling out as a translucent res, She is only a beast.

Mind you that you do not allow arrogance to overshadow a clear understanding of the situation. The mocking tone with which she said this was not hidden in the least. How often had the Familiar said something similar to his master? Though, much to Evalin's disappointment, Tsenrika did not rise to the bait.

The flow of res caused a rustling in the grass around the Familiar, the amount building until it completely surrounded the Irylid in a shimmering cloud. He was watching, all attention trained on the Lion as she began her search. The res molded quickly around Tsenrika, flowing over his smooth surface just as the moonlight glittered and was reflected back. Then came the pounce, and just as the Kelvic left the ground a silent command was issued to the surrounded magic which suddenly shot out in multiple directions, hardening into thick sheets of ice as it did. The familiar completely covered itself with the magic ice, two hands thick with multiple spikes of cold pointing in every direction in a uniform fashion.

Try not to kill her.

That is all dependent upon the beast's actions.

When she saw the small blue thing seem to change in shape the lioness startled backwards, unsure of what had happened. For a moment, wide silver eyes blinked at the small ball of spikes that lay there. Which she would have impaled her paws on trying to attack it. Crouching low, Ixzo flicked her tail in curiosity. Quickly, the cat reached out with one paw, batting at the small spiked ball. It was cold to the touch, and while it wobbled, the ball didn't move much with the quick swipe.

Not liking the thing, she kept her eyes on it but backed a bit away, a low hiss of displeasure bubbling from her throat. For a warning, she batted hte ground a few feet from the ball, trying to show it not to get near her. Any other animal wouldn't need such vivid warnings, but she doubted this thing was very used to the cycle of the wild. By now the kelvic should have been used to seeing new and odd things from her time away from home, but she really didn't like this think. Was this the same thing the dead thing had been wearing on it's neck.An irritated glance up at the sky concluded that that creature was still above her.

She did not like this at all.

The only other time in her life she had felt so vunerable was when she had meet one of hte notorious glassbeaks. The thing hadn't seen her, but Ixzo had plenty sense to tuck her tail and run, thankful that no other living creatures were around to see the shameful act.

However this time Ixzo struggled. She had too much dignity to tuck her tail and run. And while something more human spoke up in the back of her head, telling her she wasn't actually being hunted, Ixzo still felt like the prey in the situation. It was a role that the lioness never played. Leave me be! She wanted to scream, but had no human tongue to communicate.

Taking a deep breathe, she let out a louder hiss in warning, slinking back once more. She wasn't sure if she should be focusing her attention on the ice ball or the flying dead thing, either way the cat refused to take her eyes off of either of them now. She knew her own stealth was not the best, but wondered if there was a magic the creature had that kept it so focused on where she was. Surely the dead thing didn't have the eyes she did?

Evalin flapped lazily in the sky, a sense of boredom overcoming her as she was left as a simple spectator in everything. How dull. Then again, what did she really expect? A Kelvic would be a kelvic, and like any sensible beast it realized when it was best to retreat. Watching the interaction between her familiar and the Lion made the Immortal sigh, a bit disappointed.

She felt as Tsenrika began to draw on more power, his intent clear as he stared at the Kelvic with an icy disdain as the Lion began to pull back.

Leave her. Evalin said. Folding her wings in slightly she tipped forward, letting herself plummet to the earth with little regard to the speed of the decent. Hair whipping back in a furious wind, just before hitting the ground Evalin flung open those great black wings, catching the air and dragging on it like claws into a cliff face to slow the wild fall. Great wing beats through the grass backwards as the Immortals feet touched ground.

As you wish.

Folding her wings close to her back Evalin rubbed one clawed hand over her jaw, working it back and forth as she eased and released her hold on it's djed. Opening and closing it several times her mouth retracted, teeth pulling back somewhat though the canines remained. The smile was gone from her lips as she cast a searching eye over the lion, though it did not longer. Looking down at Tsenrika in his shell Evalin absently waved one hand, res flowing out from her fingertips to sleep beneath its surface. Then the shell cracked, shattering to a thousand pieces allowing Tsenrika to hover up to his Master's side once more.

"Go on." Evalin whispered, looking up at the Kelvic once more, "Run away." With a shrug Evalin then simply turned, walking away in the opposite direction of the Kelvic. Tsenrika trailed just behind.

I expected something more interesting would happen.

No, it was just as it was supposed to be.

How boring.
