Seeing Argan finish the other off Edge stops attacking other dragon and moves back away.
"Don't think i intend to leave you to him" Edge runs again towards the creature and jumps up using his Bo as a form of hammer he crashes it down on the creatures head. Unfortunatly the dragon's tail still hits him in a counter but the blow from Edge cracks it's skull due to the wieght of the Bo and Edge falling down.
The creature now having a fit attack on the floor jerks on the floor. "Argan i think i wasn't strong enough to kill it properly could you please give it a quick death? it doesn't deserve something like this.....". Edge holds his side from the attack from the tail and takes alook to see a large bruise. Opening a pocket to his side he removes some oil to rub into it to ease the ache.
RE: The Mystery of the Fire Ruins.
Argan closes his eyes again, and after a few second he gradually transforms back into his original human form.
"Alright, I'll finish it off. Serves it right for messing with us." Argan approches the spasming dragon in pain, and Argan grips his sword with both hands high above his head. With one large swing, the sword collided with the stone floor, decapitating the dragon. The battle ends with Argan saying, "Heh, good fight Smokey."
Re: RE: The Mystery of the Fire Ruins.
With the two creatures now gone the door is now clear for them to enter. The entrance is pitch black almost and hard to see whats inside.
"Hey we make a pretty good team huh?" Edge puts his Bo away and puts the oil away. "Well shall we continue?"
Meanwhile...
Location: Water Temple Ruins
Party: -
=========
Umi slowly walked up to the ruins of the Water Temple. It had once been a beautiful sanctuary but now it resembled rubble more than anything. The white stonewalls were covered in green moss and most had clearly crumbled over the passing of time. She remembered back to her sneak visit and recalled less debris than she was lightly stepping over with her bare feet right now. Was there a battle or great storm here?
The two great (now rusted and scratched) doors were already open. With a ‘pat pat’ of her feet and a ‘click click’ from her staff base, she made her way up the few stone/marble steps and through the entrance.
Looking at her surrounding, she didn’t expect anyone to be worshipping here, maybe a lifetime ago, but not now. She seemed saddened that this place was forgotten at one time to let this happen.
The silence was broken by a sound that the girl couldn’t quite make out; “Huh?”
Umi walked through the main halls and to the far wall. Spying two archways, she walked through the left one and found herself in a room with several old books and items scattered on decaying tables and shelves. She began to look through all the items for a while for anything of interest until she noticed a slight breeze.
She canted her head looking for the source… there was only a wall. On further inspection, there were scratches and long cracks between the stones.
“A secret door? This has just got more interesting… wonder how I open it.”

(OOC: Guess I’ll leave it there til other people show up, ne?)
RE: The Mystery of the Fire Ruins
Location: Fire Ruins
Party: Argan Trask, Edge Grey.
======================================
Argan stared into the darkness ahead, and formed another ball of light at the palm of his hand to give them safe passage through the darkness. "Alright, let's move."
Argan lead the way into the dark passage, but as soon as he took a step into the first corridor, torches high along the walls began to ignite as if by magic.
Argan stared in minor confusion, "Strange... Ah well, no need for this." And with that the ball of light Argan created dissapeared, and he began to make his way down the long corridor.
Re: RE: The Mystery of the Fire Ruins
As the lights went on down the corridor the two walked foward. The corridor itself seemed untouched and old but still smooth walls with designs of possibly fire. They keep walking looking at these figures until they reached another door. This one was smaller but open.
Peering inside Edge sees old relics and chambers. "Weird i wonder what the people of the past were into?"
This room seemed very small but still fairly important. "Argan is there anywhere else in these ruins to check out?".
RE: The Mystery of the Fire Ruins
Argan quickly scans the room visually. Towards the back of the room is a pear-shaped pod, which is empty, and some of the casing has been damaged and a hole is present. The square room is very dusty, and there are several book cases around the room. On one side of the room, a hole is visible, but too small for your average adult to fit through.
Argan walks upto one of the book cases, picks a book at random, and looks inside at a random page. The book was written in strange text, that Argan could not understand, could this possibly be ancient scripture?
"What's the deal with these books?" says Argan as he places the book back in the case, selects another, only to get the same strange result.
Re: RE: The Mystery of the Fire Ruins
Edge walks in after him and takes his own look around. The scene around him makes him shudder. "Man what did ancient people from old do?...what ever this place was sure wasn't a temple of praying to god or anything...".
Edge walks in deeper and looks at the pod and holes around it. "Strange i wonder what this could have been?".
Lock up the women-folk, guess who's here...
As the duo neared the center of the room, the doors closed. All lights were suddenly extinguished but for a single torch near the entrance. A voice could then be heard, "This was no temple. This was a hall of science, and natural energy. Intelligence and power, skill and wit... and you know what, you're tresspassing..."
Beneath this torch, there was a shadow, vaguely in the shape of a well-built man, his head was bowed and he appeared to be reading one of the ancient books. The moment his head rose, a pulse of sheer energy could be felt upon looking into those oddly amber-colored eyes, which seemed to change every so often...
Argan negotiates...
Argan smirked as he looked up from the book and spotted the figure, he could sence his elemental energy, it was about as powerful as his own. "Look buddy, we don't want any trouble. We were sent to clear this place of monsters, and by the looks of it there arn't any around. Our work here is done, now if you'ld kindly let us leave, we can get back to our business and you can get back to yours." He said.
Argan doubted it would work, but negotiation was worth a try.
As the lights are turning out Edge looks around him. Hearing the voice from nearby he turns to see the source.
As Argan talks with the stranger he keeps a hand on his sword incase this stranger wanted trouble.
"Sorry if were trespassing but we didn't know..Argan is right though we only came to clear away the monsters. We will leave in peace if you let us pass."
Hoping this would work you looks at Argan and hopes this isnt a major problem.
Negotiations negated.
The form disappeared, the torch dying out. A very light "whoosh" sound could be heard, as though something were moving very fast. All about, a voice sounded. "Now why would I do that? You've seen too much, if you go back and tell those who sent you that you've cleared these ruins, they'll likely swarm this place that I've been assigned to guard. I cannot allow that..." It came from no one place, and couldn't be tracked in the dark. Then all at once, all motion and sounds ceased.
Transformation
Argan smirked then said, "I don't think you quite know what you're up against..."
Suddenly a blast of aura energy formed around Argan, in the usual silver-white fashion. Inscription formed on his clothing, his muscle size increased and his fringe stood on end.
He was, once again in Acolyte form. "Stay back Edge, he won't be as easy as everyday monsters. I can handle this." He said.
======================================
Character Battle
Argan Trask vs Kage
======================================
Re: Transformation
Nodding to Argan, Edge moves away from the fighter and tries to locate a place good eonugh for cover to watch.
Not one to want to get in the way he keeps his Weapon at the ready inncase of attack.
Can't fight what you can't see... SHADOW DANCE!
Even with this newfound light, Kage was nowhere to be seen. From the left, however, came a whistling kunai, a knife thrown with impeccable precision, speed, and strength... aimed for Argan's left arm. A half moment later, another came from the right, aimed for Argan's right arm.
Holy Power!
Argan winces as the knives pierce his skin and damage his muscles, but a small smirk could be seen amongst the pain. Argan reaches for the knives with opposite hands, and pulls them out, blood begining to spurt everywhere. Argan places his palms over the wounds, and a white light illuminates from them [Blessed Light]. The wounds slowly close up, leaving nothing but a messy floor.
Argan suddenly uses a small burst of elemental light energy to light up the room brightly, making Kage visible to him again. Argan readies himself for the next attack.
Re: The Mystery of the Fire Ruins
Shocked by the brutal image of blood Edge keeps low since he didn't have the same ability that his friend would have. Watching the fight it seemed this one would be a long if not hard battle to win this time.
"Argan Be careful i don't think you should let your guard down!!".
Where there is light, there is always shadow!
Still, Kage could not be seen. How odd, did he... vanish? The moment Edge started talking, when a portion of Argan's attention would be used to find meaning in the boy's words, three kunai were sent flying. Two for the back of each knee, one for the back of his neck. If the third struck, Argan would be incapable of moving until it was withdrawn.
Which is quickly outpowered by anger!
Argan was getting pissed off now. As soon as he finished his healing, Argan tracked Kage's elemental energy pattern, so he knew he was above him as Edge was talking.
Argan spins around and crouches, putting his shield in the way of him so two knives collide with the shield, and the other three hit the far wall. One narrowly missed Edge's head by a few inches.
Being more skilled than Kage in elemental control at this point, Argan could keep track of his aura quite easily. Argan runs up to a nearby wall and leaps onto it, quickly kicking himself off he soars through the air in a large leap. When he reaches the center of the room he locks onto Kage's essence and fires every ounce of elemental energy he has left directly at him, in the form of a shining beam of light with a diameter of five meters [White Beam].

Re: Which is quickly outpowered by anger!
The attack begins to start a cave in. Rubble falling from walls nearly hit Edge as he dives out of the way.
"Argan I think you'd better finish this later we have to move!!!".
Getting up he begins to ready himself. "If we don't go we could all be killed!".
